Another hard night for so many. Wildfires in the west, historic rainfall, flooding in the south. Now the northeast and midatlantic, dozens killed. And in truth we dont really know the full toll. At least 46 are dead, and some of the worst Flooding Weve ever seen connecticut to virginia, remnants from ida. Also submerged many parts of louisiana as a hurricane, and theyve been reeling since sunday, and that will last many weeks. The intensity of the rainfall so much so soon it even took meteorologists by surprise. Half the deaths reported so far from ida as a storm, New Jersey. The governor there says the majority killed they were people caught in their vehicles, overtaken by water. Again, we didnt expect this not so much so fast. A State Trooper in connecticut was also tragically swept away as he responded to a missing persons point. At least eight confirmed tornados in the northeast, many of them destroying homes kind of turbocharging the water, more flooding and destruction. In New York there was more rain in a few hours than usual ein a months time. Subway riders stranded. They were confronted by what you see, gushes of water that nearly set the whole system down. We have Team Coverage oof the latest of the rescue missions still under way tonight. We have miguel marquez, Jason Carol in queens, New York. We have Pete Munteen in philadelphia. We were saying how its not water you really want to be playing with, but how much is the Pumping Effort in and around the Flooding Area making a difference . Yeah, im going to set the scene for you first, chris. This is the Vine Street Expressway here which would be typically filled with cars. Instead filled with water. And maybe the worst part is that its not really gone down all that much. In the last five hours alone the water has gone down maybe a foot. You can see some of kayakers out there. Theyre out here and they told me they were able to stick their entire paddle into the water. So at least 6 or 7 feet deep out there. The water about halfway up from where the bottom of the road would be. And near the top sorry, the bottom of the 21st Street Expressway there. So really intense flooding there, and this water relatively stagnant here on the Vine Street Expressway. A huge artery through the center of philadelphia. It connects 6 76 on the west. And the real bad Part Weve already gone through one Rush Hour with this like this, and it seems well probably go through another one Tomorrow Morn wg the Vine Street Expressway like this again. So a huge impact philadelphia wide. Were only just scratching the sufrts here, though, on the flooding happening in the city and beyond. The Schuylkill River crested about 17 feet earlier today. Its forecasted by the national Weather Service to go below Flood Stage before midnight, but the Flooding Warning persists here in philadelphia until 7 00 Tomorrow Morning. Hundreds of calls for Water Rescues in Neighboring Montgomery County alone. We know of the four deaths in pennsylvania, three of them are montgomery county, one of them in the town of bridgeport according to the mayor there where dozens of homes were flooded about three quarters of the way up. You know, beyond the mortal toll here is the monetary toll, chris. Millions, maybe tens of millions, maybe hundreds of millions to clean this all up. And then the cost to beef up this infrastructure to make it more resistant to climate emergencies like this. A term called climate resilience, something youre going to hear a lot of in the next few days. Ill tell you here we are on Labor Day Weekend where people are supposed to get a break, theyre going to be working more than ever to get out of the mess down there. Lets talk about whats happening here in New York specifically queens. 11 deaths reported in queens out of 13 citywide. Why . Areas vulnerable to flooding, people caught by surprise, and it was just too much water too soon. Im going to keep saying it because its why this happened. Earlier we spoke to a couple who suffered severe damage to their home, and two of their neighbors died in the storm. That could have been me. That could have been my daughter or my other neighbors daughter. Were like a family here. This flood has brought us so close together so this loss is so huge for us. It is extensive. We have been on the streets. Nobody has gone into their houses because we cannot comprehend what is going on here. We just lost a kid and his mother just like that . Jason carol there in hollis, queens. Theyre not wrong that area is prone to flooding. But some of her Frustration And Anger is exactly based on that, jason. They didnt see ida coming this way, this intense but people should have known they would need more help, and where is it . I mean, look, when you think about whats happened here the nypd, chris, made what . 69 water rescue, but they were not able to save the two people who died here in the Home Right behind me. Just to give you a little background they were in the basement, a mother and son. The water came in so quickly they were just unable to get out in enough time. And you heard the anger there. Theres a lot of sadness in this community, a tightknit community. As you said this is a neighborhood that has flooded many times in the past. Theyve all seen it flood many times in the past. But they complained to the city over and over. They said this is a situation that needs to be addressed or something tragic is going to happen. Thats why theres so much frustration. Thats in part why theres so much anger here because they warned the city over and over again, chris, that something like this could happen. And now it has happened. That woman who you spoke to, i spoke to her as well. Those two who died lived right across the trstreet from her. She described the woman and her husband being very close, and they walked down the Street Hand in hand. And it affects them even more when it feels as though its something that could have been avoided had more people been listening. Look, chris, this is a problem they say still has not been fixed and the storms theyre going to keep coming. I see the crews are behind you. But have jow seen anymore more Heavy Equipment come into the area yet . Reporter no, not yet. Basically what youre looking at right now out here is cleanup, broom, vacuums, Pumping Equipment to get the Mud And Everything out of these homes. I mean, theyre going to need more help in terms of getting equipment out here to help them cleanup. But its not just here. Thats in a lot of neighborhoods throughout New York city. But in term of Heavy Equipment, not that. What they really need out here are folks involved in planning and can figure out why this is an area that keeps flooding and what they can do about it. Jason, appreciate you being there. Be well. Now were going to turn to a now less than 30 miles south of philadelphia. Its mullica hills, New Jersey. A Monster Tornado touched down there, flattened dozens of homes through the night. Paula newton is on the ground. I mean, you just dont hear tornado and New Jersey. Reporter no, and chris, you know what they said here. This is not oklahoma. This is not tornado alley. This is New Jersey, and they are absolutely staggered by what happened here a little bit more than 24 hours ago. Chris, you and i can picture this. Youre at Home Youve either finished your meal or about to have your meal. The people like the thomas, their home behind me destroyed. When they were in the basement the debris from their home was still raining down on them in the basement. You had said earlier the governor of New Jersey saying, look, 23 tragic deaths, most of them people trapped in their vehicles. People here know if it wasnt for those three minutes of warning they got from the time they saw it on the cellphone to the time they got in the basement they would not be as frpt today. Today they are concerned thankfully about things that are stressful. These are their dream homes, their family homes, but they know how fortunate they are. Heres the thing, though, chris. These are Families Tonight who tonight would have been sharing a Meal Or Drink or outside on a beautiful summer night. And yet now what are they thinking . Theyre thinking were on the Front Line of climate change. They now see this a clear a present danger. They told me quite honestly we dont know yet if were even going to rebuild. What they saw here to see that Funnel Cloud through their windows and understand they had only moments to escape what really could have been devastating for their families, its really been a shock to them, and theyre kind of just reeling even though throughout this entire state of New Jersey we saw it to the north, all of that incredible water turned on like a faucet. And out here yeah they had rain and wind, but then those Funnel Clouds ripped right through the neighborhood. And its not like theyre not trying to come to terms with it here, especially when they feel they didnt have much warning. Yes theyve had strong winds before. It rolls around some patio furniture, throws up some debris, but nothing like this. And theyre really trying to figure out what to do next and if its worth it to really rebuild when a lot of these homes right now, really theres no coming back from it. You just have to start from scratch. After something like that you have dark thoughts and understandably so. And nothing destroys like a tornado. Appreciate the coverage. Now lets go to miguel marquez. Hes in the Riverside Town of new brunswick, New Jersey, less than hour outside New York city. Whats the situation with the water there now . Reporter yeah, were on the river where the tide is now waning, heading out to the ocean. The water is going with it. We were with you an hour ago. It was about 2 inches down. This is on top of a wall here near Route 18 or memorial parkway. Now its 6, 7 inches down. So its starting to drain quite quickly as that tide goes out. You can see how much more water to go here and through very broad swaths of New Jersey as well. And its not only the water. Theres tons of debris in this water as well that as it recedes its along the road so theyre going to have to cleanup all of that to get to it. Theyre still in the midst of an emergency here. There are 23 confirmed dead at this point. There may be many more. They believe there are many, many people still missing. Theyre not sure if thats just the confusion of everything theyre dealing with right now or whether or not there are people missing, but there are a lot of crews out there, rescue crews getting into neighborhood, getting into areas, getting into cars like you see here to try to figure out if there is anybody in there, if there are any other people who need help that they can help out. But it is a long, intense difficult time theyre dealing with here in New Jersey. Its just starting. Its a battle against the clock because the longer that water sits its not just rain, its not just saltwater that pushed in or brackish water, its sewage. Thank you for being there. Stay safe you and the team, appreciate you. There have been thousands of Water Rescues in this event especially in pennsylvania. The crews are having to go House To house. And a lot of people are in there. Youve got to hope they hear you or youve got to find a way in. Its very difficult. It takes a lot of time and its exhausting. Were going to take you to one of the hardest Hit Areas and get the official word on conditions there next. I booked our hotel on kayak. Its flexible if we need to cancel. Cancel. I havent left the house in a year. Nothing will stop me from vacation. No canceling. Flexible cancellation. Kayak. Search one and done. I want to turn now to pennsylvania. Water rescues were estimated to be in the thousands. Thats right, thousands. Severe flooding. Officials there are still urging people living near the Delaware River to exercise extreme caution. Waters are still rising. The river has yet to crest. This is not over there. One of the affected areas is Bucks County near philadelphia. Their Commission Chair is diane ellis marseglia, and she joins us now. Thanks for having me, chris. What is the situation . We are cresting right now so were holding our collective breath. And what does that mean that its cresting in terms of the impact in the communities and what youre trying to do to help . Well, this is when the water will be at its highest, and so any water we could be inundated. So anybody whos already got water could end up with more water. People who havent left their homes but were cautioned to do so, were hoping that theyre leaving now or they left. Is this story same where you are, that were hearing from other officials, which is that, look, you knew it was coming. You knew there was going to be water but not this much water this fast . Thats absolutely right. I really thought well be able to handle this, but no one expects 10 inches in some areas. There were several tornados i believe, and that just put it over the top. Are the people who are in the areas where it is cresting now able to be communicated with and accessed or able to get out . You know, weve been maintaining contact. Most people are left and are in a safe place. Im hoping that there is nobody still in those areas. Weve sent out repeated warnings to get them to go to a different ground, stay with family or friends, or well provide them with shelter. Bucks county 911 center logged 5,300 calls which is more than quadruple the more than 1,600 calls a day. Is it true that the rescues are in the volumes of the thousands and that theyre still ongoing . I think thats for the entire delaware valley. Theyre still going on and were still out there. We had 4,400 Water Rescues and emergency calls that could have involved water in a car, Deep Water in a basement, things like that. But that is a lot of calls for us to takeover all, trying to get enough operators to answer the phone and then calls keep coming like that. Thats exhausting work. Absolutely. Thats why we love our first responders. Thank you so much for doing the job. You know how to get us if Theres Word that has to get out and we can help. Thank you. Take care. Another important story, you cant forget about The Americans that just arent trapped in homes here from flooding, imagine being trapped overseas along with our afghan allies. What is your State Department doing to get them out . Were hearing dramatic new stories of what some afghan women and girls are doing to escape the taliban. Were going to bring in two better minds who understand the obstacles but also the realities. Next. Yeah, its time for grilled cheese. After we make grilled cheese, then were eating grilled cheese. Because its time. Yeah. Time for grilled cheese. [sfx radio being tuned] welcome to allstate. [band plays] a place where everyone lives life wellprotected. And even when things go a bit wrong, weve got your back. Here, things work the way you wish they would. And better protection costs a whole lot less. Youre in good hands with allstate. Click or call for a lower Auto Rate today. Every single day, were all getting a little bit better. Were better cooks. Better neighbors. Hi. Ive got this until you get back. Better parents. And better friends. No no thats why comcast works around the clock constantly improving americas largest gigspeed broadband network. And just doubled the capacity here. How do things look on your end . Perfect because were building a better network every single day. This is afghanistan. A stampede, thousands trying to cross the border into pakistan. At least one person died in this crush. The reality is also that without a Working Airport people trying to flee the taliban are left with few options. That includes americans and thousands of afghans who served alongside our millary and were promised to be kept safe. Lets bring in the better minds who know the regions and challenges. Thank you both, by the way. These reports im hearing from the ngo digital Dunkirk Veteran types that the State Department is thwarting their efforts, does that make sense to you . Well, i doubt theyre thwarting the efforts, but they probably could be doing more to facilitate these private organizations. The burden is really on the private organizations to get the charter flights, to identify third countries for the refugees to go to. So while the State Department has done a good job with the processing of the paperwork, theyre literally Processing Thousands of special Immigrant Visas, other categories of refugees. They need to do a better job on helping with the operational part of this. Because these private organizations need landing rights. They need to have assurances provided to the Transit Countries. The Transit Countries look to the u. S. Government to make sure the refugees are moving onto third countries. And once the refugees get to the third countries it could take a year before their paperwork is processed. So we really do need the State Department to be part of this process to work with the private organizations. And my understanding is theyre trying to get a system in place, but theyre literally building the aircraft while theyre flying. And so hopefully they will get that process down and be able to help these private organizations who are doing so much to help our afghan allies. These guys and women are angels, phil. Theyre doing, frankly, what the State Department should have been doing and logistically theyve been ahead of u. S. Government in terms of how to get them out. And their concern is they hear to lisas point of Course Youve got to figure it out. This is all ad hoc. We dont have to time. And the idea be patient, be patient. There are people going to be getting chased by barbarians with machetes is their concern. Yeah, but i guess i have a slightly different perspective. Ive crossed paths with diplomats and people who have friends in afghanistan who said theyve contacted the State Department. So put yourselves in the shoes of the State Department. Hundreds of thousands of americans saying ive got a friend and i want to get my friend out, ive got a logistical way to get that friend out. Youve got to certify whos calling in, certify who theyre representing in afghanistan. How do you certify the person whos calling you has a safe route out theyve cleared would the taliban . I dont think this has worked well. For example, the first three, four, five days we lost thousands of people we should have gotten out. Its not that easy, chris. I get its not that easy, but you also dont want to make it harder than you have to. And for the most part theyre talking about americans and people who have siv applications and things that can be reviewed. And their offerings are former intel people. This is workable, isnt it . Yes. And i think if the State Department gets a process in place and doesnt put the full burden on the private organizations then youre going to have a more organized process. These are, you know, diplomatic issues a lot of times when youre Negotiating Landing rights, when youre talking about people moving onto third countries. So i think we want the State Department to be largely in control of the process rather than each individual organization figuring it out as they go. Theres also going to be the funding issue. As i was saying these people are going to have to go to countries, maybe wait for a year with their own grievances. Jen psaki spoke about this, lisa. Let me have you and phil listen to what she said, the press secretary. Theres also a question theyre active and there continue to be active isisk threats. We know isisk has a keen interest in Aviation Targets and our person on the ground in our military bases, and these are among the risks that we take into account. How much does that slow it down, phil . That doesnt work for me. Look, theres isisk would not be Thing Id be worried about, chris. We left a couple of days ago. People who were in places like the airport, airtraffic control. I think the most likely scenario is airways thats a place we setup our diplomats and a place has close relationship with the taliban will move in they already have moved in to try to open the airport. I dont necessarily see this just as a security issue. Isisk is not what im thinking about. Im thinking about ato get a Darn Aircraft in there thats functional, that has pilots that are functional and support with airtraffic control . How much time do you think people, phil, have on the ground before the taliban starts seeing them as scouts . Two categories of people. We tend to say the united states has responsibility for siv special Immigrant Visas and americans. If im looking at this through the talibans eyes thats a vastly different group of people. The americans are very few. You have a responsibility especially i think if you want to get money, food, Fuel Et Cetera from The Americans and the international community to support americans getting out. But if youre the taliban looking at afghans your first questions are why are they leaving, why arent they supporting the reconstruction of afghanistan, and theyre criminals. They supported The Americans, we want to talk to them about who helped The Americans. Those afghans are a source of intelligence, and i think a lot of those people i dont want to get too deep into it. I think theyre in deep trouble, deep trouble. Not The Americans but the afghans. And lisa, what do you do if you start to see the scene of that kind of barbarism, what do you do . I think the afghans that are in most danger, of course, are those who work for the military, the security forces. And these are people who have a lot of them have burned their documents. They dont want any evidence that they had worked with the afghan military. So theyre very special case. But others, you know, women activists, human rights leaders, prominent journalists, these people also are in a certain amount of danger. But, you know, i think phil was right that theyve got to get the airport up and running again. But also people are going out of airport at Mazari Sharif in northern afghanistan. People are trying to get out any way they can. Right. And it is a melee right now, but for now the taliban has committed that they would allow people to leave if they have proper documentation, onward destination. They have stated they would allow this. And you have 100 countries who have signed a Statement Saying that they will continue to provide Travel Documents for their afghan allies to get out of the country, so we just need to keep the pressure on the State Department, keep working with these private organizations and making this happen because theres a lot of people that still need to get out. Right now we know about at least one being kept from getting out by the State Department. Phil, last word on this. Remind me why do you have any measure of confidence that the taliban would do anything in terms of conventional thinking of an operative government when this is the same group that we went in there to wipeout because of how they are . I dont. I just dont see it. Im a realest. I dont see any other option. If you want to get americans to the airport how else are they going to get there besides the taliban . I dont know how to do it without working through them. I dont trust them but no other option. Thank you both. I appreciate you. Lets turn to the Realtime Situation in kabul. One of the very few western journalists still there joins us again tonight. Hes going to update us on what is it like. We want to know what the urgency is to have to get out . What is the taliban doing on the streets in realtime . Next. Music playing. Theres an america we build and one we explore one thats been paved and one thats forever wild but freedom means you dont have to choose just one adventure you get both. Introducing the Allnew 3row Jeep grand cherokee l jeep. Theres only one.

And a couple of years later, my mother passed away. After taking care of them, i knew that i really wanted to become a nurse. Amazon helped me with training and tuition. Today, im a medical assistant and im studying to become a registered nurse. In filipino youll always be in my heart. Life can be a lot to handle. This magic moment, but theres plenty of magic in all that chaos. So different and so new. Was like any other. There was never any question that the taliban would do bad things especially to women and girls. And sure enough there are reports that women and girls are being forced into marriage or traveling with men pretending to be their husbands. Why . Because they got to get away from the taliban. This is the desperation that is fostered by what could be a worse fate if they stay. Thats what u. S. Officials who are processing afghan refugees say they are seeing. Thats the fear of what life under the taliban will mean for women and girls. Since the u. S. Pulled out weve not had a bunch of reporting from the ground inside afghanistan. One reporter whos still there is hes working for pbs Front Line. Hes working on a documentary for Front Line that airs october 12th, and its going to be covering everything happening on the ground now. Its good to see you and good to see you safe. Thank you so much. Thanks a lot. So we hear people saying, hey, got to trust the taliban. You know, they want the money. They want to be taken seriously. They will work with the other governments to let people go. What are you seeing . Well, its different basically. For instance, first of all, the taliban become a little stricter than before, than the last ten days. For instance now we cannot i met a cup of female, they were running away from another province. One was 17 years old and another one was 21 years old. And i said why did you leave left your province, they said we heard the taliban are going to get married and we just run away because we are scared. So far we didnt see anything like they didnt come to me saying yes the taliban want to get married to me and i ran away. But i hear here and there, and yes, they become a little bit rude or i can say harsh towards the females. Every day i walk around kabul for a couple of hours, do work here and there. On another day, for instance, i went to one of the embassies. I went to get a visa, and my female colleague was with me. And the taliban literally looked at her saying put your phone down. She was basically on the phone. Put your phone down, otherwise i will shoot you. This i was really witnessing, and i told her please dont do anything, dont call, just put your phone on your back. Th when i asked a taliban spokesman whats happening, they say you should remember still an uncertain situation. The people who are in the middle and lower end they dont know how to behave in the city, how to deal with the people so allow us some times. So we dont know for how long but this is actually whats going on. In terms of the people who are left behind do you hear or see any indications that the taliban will start to look for people who are afghans who worked with The Americans . One of the activist women who ive been touch with all the time, i met her the other day and she received a call from one of the provinces in the north. And suddenly she put the phone on loudspeaker and her husband was working in the government, and she said they would come to me soon because they started from the beginning of the road and i dont know what will happen. So because she was an activist she was begging for help. And she said im trapped in kabul, i cannot do anything. And she was giving everything. She say they come and a bunch of taliban they surrounded the entire road and theyre looking House To house searching for the people who were working for the government. These things i think hear as i said before i never seen anyone but, yes, i came across some female journalists or some activists. They say theyre looking House To house. The work is going to be so meaningful. It always has been, but what happens there now very few eyes are going to see what yours will. So we look forward to your documentary work, and please stay safe. Thank you. Thanks a lot.

In the wake of the supreme Courts Refusal to block texas new Law Biden is launching what he calls a whole of Government Effort to respond to this near total ban on abortions. Remember at six weeks when cardiac activity is usually detected many women dont even know theyre pregnant. The law also allows anybody, any joe smoe, in fact you want to hear an ugly example . Somebody could rape a female, the female after six weeks, sue under the law, and get a bounty of 10,000. Can the Uber Driver who takes them there, someone who pays for the gas, who helps with travel, the person or the clinic that does the procedure. My next guest works with an organization that does just that. She is the coexecutive director of fund Texas Choice. They keep using the word, anna and thank you for joining us pernicious, that this law was crafted to be sneaky. Do you agree . Yeah, i do agree it was sneaky. If you were following the Texas Legislature earlier this year, we all knew it was coming, we knew this would be impact. We knew this was going to be happen. Heartbeat is a play, right . They want to say heartbeat because it makes it sounds like its a person at six weeks, but the thing is the size of a kidney bean. But allowing people to sue and therefore enforce the law as kind of a civil Arrest Kind of situation, what do you make of that . Its supposed to be the chilling effect, right . Its supposed to be the harassment. The cruelty is the point, right . To harass us to no end so we cant do the work because well get tired, exhausted. Thats the point of this law, to continue to bully and harass until we dont do it anymore. How can you get around it, anna . The law is so vague. There can be bad things about that. One of the good things is it doesnt say anything about us helping clients get out of state. We truly believe, after talking to lawyers, people who have read this law over and over, Policy Analysts and so forth, that we arent violating the law by helping our clients get out of state to get an abortion. Everyone is asking do you think youll be sued. We probably will, but organizations like fund Texas Choice and other Grassroots Organizations are doing the work because there is no other choice, either we exist and follow the mission or we dont and create even more barriers for pregnant folks. What percentage of pregnant folks that you deal with do you think this law will affect . With fund Texas Choice, nearly all of them. When you look at the clients we serve, almost every client is beyond eight weeks. And how many of them dont even know theyre pregnant until theyre beyond six weeks . Almost every one of them. We have a handful of clients that know theyre pregnant before six weeks. But that doesnt it doesnt really matter, right . If you find out youre pregnant or you assume youre pregnant, by the time you might be able to get into a clinic could be right at that mark. We saw the real impact of that just yesterday. We had a client who went to her Clinic Appointment on august 31, had a sonogram, because texas requires you to get a sonogram and wait 24 hours before getting an abortion. She went back to the clinic on September 1 and they did a sonogram again. They measured embryonic cardiac activity and told her she was no longer eligible to get an abortion because sb 8 had gone into effect. So these are two restrictive laws working Hand In hand to stop folks from accessing abortion. I want your take on this. The Game Plan has always been here, talk the talk but dont walk the walk when it comes to restricting reproductive rights because it fires up the far right but they never did it because theyre so unpopular as laws overall. Do you think theres a chance that women when they realize that their rights have been taken from them, whether or not they want to have exercise or not of that right, do you think there will be a political backlash from this . I do think so. I think we can see it from not just pregnant folks, from everyone across the nation already. Folks that are donating, folks that are volunteering, folks who have said to us and others we understand theres a possibility of us getting sued but were willing to fight, well do whatever we can, Weapon Help folks get out of texas, well help fight in texas. I think there will be huge political backlash. Numbers say it. Less than a third of texans want more restrictions on abortion. And it still happened. I think the politicians arent listening to their constituents. Theyre just doing what they want to do. Anna rupani, thank you very much for your perspective, we appreciate you. Well be right back.
