Welcome to all you watching us here in the united states, canada, and Around The World. Im kim brunhuber. This is Cnn Newsroom. We begin in afghanistan where taliban fighters are trying to seize the Panjeer Valley North of kabul, home to antitaliban forces, the only territory not under taliban control. Fresh fighting was reported On Saturday with both sides claiming successes. Now Cnn Cant independently verify the accuracy of those reports. In the capital where ordinary afghans have been starved for cash, the largest Currency Exchange Market reopened saturday for the first time in nearly three weeks. Even banks that are open are limiting withdrawals. And theres word the Kabul Airport has resumed some operations. Qatars ambassador said he witnessed the first domestic flight taking off On Saturday. Journalist Ben Farmer is in kabul and joins us by phone with the latest from there. Ben, lets start with the fighting in the pancheer valley. Whats the latest on the conflict . Theres heavy fighting ongoing in panchief, 90 minutes driving north of kabul. Both sides have claimed Theres Victory from successes. For some of the only independent information we know, that there is an Aid Agency which runs a hospital in The Valley, quite a significant way into The Valley. Theyve released a statement saying that the taliban have reached that far. So the taliban have made significant inroads into The Valley. Last night, the acting President Of Afghanistan released a Statement Calling on the international community to do its utmost, as he puts it, to stop the onslaught, and hadnt warns theres a humanitarian crisis inside The Valley because its filling up with refugees and the Power Lines and Telephone Lines have been cut and people are running out of food. All right. Lets turn to life in kabul. When we spoke yesterday, the money Exchange Market had just reopened. I understand you spent time speaking to people about the challenges of trying to get access to cash in what is a cashheavy economy. What did you find out . People are really struggling. The banks are open, and you mentioned some of the Exchange Markets are starting to open. But there are strict restrictions. The banks are only giving a maximum of 200 a month. And thats for people who have money in their accounts. A lot of people here are paid by the government, the Government Payroll is very large in afghanistan. Theres a lot of the teachers, a lot of the people in the security forces, so on. Those people havent been paid for up to two months. Not just since the takeover of the taliban. They werent paid in the last days of the government. So theyre really struggling. The queues outside the banks are very, very long. We saw taliban fighters trying to keep order, whipping them, using sticks to try to keep them in line. Ben farmer in kabul, thanks so much. No one knows exactly how the taliban plan to rule because they havent yet formed a government. Cnns Ivan Watson joins us from hong kong. Ivan, were getting a few more details trickling out about the government the taliban are forming now. What can you tell us . Well, we know from officials in pakistan who have been talking to cnn, and pakistan, of course, has a very long relationship of ties with the taliban, where pakistani officials have predicted that the future leader of the government, which has yet to be announced, will be al kuhnzada, whos been the leader of the taliban since 2016 which his predecessor was killed in a u. S. Air strike. He hasnt been seen in public in years. There are reports, not 100 confirmed, that one of his sons was a Suicide Bomber who died attacking u. S. Forces in afghanistan a number of years ago. There is still questions about what the rest of the government will look like. There had been discussions about making it inclusive and including some members of the former westernbacked government. But we dont know more at this time. There are questions about the future finance minister, for example. Pakistani officials saying that two of the names that have been proposed are actually individuals who are facing sanctions, including the leader of the Haqqani Network which was kind of an archenemy of the u. S. Military in gaafghanistan. It makes you wonder, if an individual like that could become the next finance minister, how would a taliban government be able to do trade with the rest of the world . After all, more than 70 of the funds for the former u. S. Backed government came from western governments and aid institutions. How could that kind of Flow Of Money come in again to pay the teac teachers and the doctors and the government workers that my colleague Ben Farmer was talking about . The needs are acute. Afghanistan is one of the worlds poorest countries. And it has come under much more pressure in recent weeks. Take a listen to what one resident of kabul had to say. Translator currently there are economic problems. Prices increased in the market. Food ingredients have increased in price. People have not received money. The economy has weakened. Today the Peoples Problem is economic. People are pouring into here. They dont know if their moneys in the bank. People think their money has been emptied from banks. And there are limits to how much people can withdraw from the bank. Up to 200 a week is the maximum, what were hearing. Then theres The Big Question about how a taliban government will treat different communities in the country. We saw women in kabul trying to protest On Saturday, standing up for their rights. And then they say they were beaten and flogged by taliban fighters and dispersed. They are just one of many communities in afghanistan that are feeling very vulnerable and worried about the future. Ivan watson in hong kong, thanks so much. Americas top general says he feels Pain And Anger over afghanistan. Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark milley said it comes from seeing everything thats unfolded over the past 20 years and the past 20 days of the war. He spoke of losing soldiers killed in action, as well as the wounded and the grieving families. The general visited with troops returning from afghanistan. He praised them for their role in one of the largest airlifts in military history. You guys did an incredible job, All Of You, everybody. Army, navy, marines, Air Force. 124,000 people.

He spoke to cnn about what it was like being on the last u. S. Plane out of afghanistan. Oren lieberman reports. Reporter the approach into and out of kabul allowed little margin for error.

My entire career has been spent with a conflict in afghanistan. To see it come to an end it does make a mark, i think. Reporter pelbath knew time was precious. Every second on the tarmac was added risk. With the final troops loading up, the danger was at its peak. Major general chris donahue, commander of the 82nd airborne, the last soldier to step off afghan soil, the military says. Pelbath snapped this cell phone picture, then gave the order, clamshell, close the cargo doors. Minutes later, flush the force, the order to take off. I was able to see in front of me the first aircraft had just made their left turn. The second Aircraft Right behind them. The third aircraft lifted off. The fourth aircraft on the runway.

Initially both israel and the uk seemed to be on track to hit herd immunity, when 80 to 90 of the population is fully vaccinated. And the u. S. Had reasons to be optimistic. But vaccinations then hit a plateau. However there have been recent increases in people receiving their first dose. The number of new global cases held steady last week after increasing for two months, according to the World Health Organization. But some countries that had avoided severe outbreaks are now seeing infections rise. On saturday, New Zealand reported its first covId Death in six months, along with 20 new cases. Neighboring australia is battling its worst Covid Wave yet, reporting a Record Number of new infections saturday. In the uk, officials with londons Heathrow Airport are lashing out at the british Border Force after passengers waited hours to get through immigration. The Home Office says Covid Health Checks mean longer wait times but they admit the situation is unacceptable and they say theyre working to deploy more agents at the airport. Cubas public Health Care System is being pushed to the brink amid a surge in new covid cases fueled by the Delta Variant. The country is now averaging around 6,500 new cases per day. Thats almost six times the number of new cases from three months ago. Hospitals have started running low on beds and doctors are grappling with shortages of medicine, oxygen, and other critical supplies. Now some doctors are taking an unprecedented step, using Social Media to criticize the cuban governments handling of the pandemic. Cnns Patrick Oppmann reports from havana. Reporter during the first months of the pandemic, cuban Health Care workers received applause every night. Cubas government calls the doctors and nurses heroes in white coats and sends them to work in countries Around The World to earn the hard currency the communistrun island desperately needs. But as cubas socialist Health Care System faces shortages of medicine and hospitals are overwhelmed by covid, tensions have emerged between the government and the doctors and nurses they usually praise. During a visit to a Province Hard Hit by covid in august, cubas Prime Minister said Health Care workers there had committed errors and were undisciplined. There are complaints about lack of medicine, he said, but they are less than the complaints of mistreatment, neglect, or the doctors dont make visits. Thats incredible. The backlash across the island from some cuban Health Care workers was swift and unprecedented. Its the heat. Reporter we are demanding the minimum conditions to offer decent care to our patients and Health Care workers, this doctor said. More than three dozen doctors and nurses have posted videos to Social Media saying the Governments Pandemic Response is failing. We want to keep working, we want to keep saving lives, we are not responsible for the sanitary collapse in our country. The cuban government says the doctors are being used for, quote, new enemy campaigns. But has recognized the Health Care System is at its limits. For much of the pandemic, cuba seemed to have the spread of the coronavirus under control. Then in late 2020, the island reopened borders without first requiring travelers to have a Pcr Test before arrival. With the Delta Variant, the number of cases and deaths are skyrocketing. Cuba turned down offers from other countries to send vaccines. Instead, developing their own. We trust 100 in our Vaccine Candidates, she says. The number of cases that we have today in a few months, our Vaccine Candidates will show that they are effective and the situation will improve. So far, more than 30 of the island is completely vaccinated, according to the health ministry. The government predicts they will vaccinate every cuban by The End of the year. Despite the massive effort, cases and deaths remain at an alltime high. For the rebellious cuban Health Care workers who have spoken out against their governments handling of the pandemic, even if the vaccines succeed, it is already too late. Patrick oppmann, cnn, havana. Health officials are keeping an eye on a new covid strain. The World Health Organization has flagged the Mu Variant as a variant of interest. A global database that tracks variants says mu has been detected in all but two u. S. States but authorities dont believe its an immediate threat. Cdc numbers show the Mu Variant accounts for less than. 001 of cases. The Delta Variant accounts for just over 99 of new cases. The recent uptick in kentuckys covid cases is forcing the governor to call a special session of the states general assembly tuesday. Governor Andy Beshear will ask the legislative body to extend the declared State Of Emergency through january 15, also review executive, agency, and cabinet ors. A recent decision by kentuckys Supreme Court Curbed the Governors Ability to sign covidrelated executive orders. And hawaii is taking no chances with covid over this Labor Day Holiday weekend. Cases have flared up with hundreds of patients hospitalized statewide. While theyre not imposing mandates, the governor warned of the Burden Covid was placing on hospitals and asked the public to enjoy the holiday safely. Because of covid, the Hospital Systems across the state is in danger of moving toward the Worstcase Scenario. If that happens, we have heard from our Health Care leaders that people may not receive the care that they need, and certainly some may die. Our Choices Today and over this weekend can help prevent the Worstcase Scenario for our Health Care System. So please act responsibly this holiday weekend. And moving forward as we battle this highly transmissible covid19 Delta Variant. Do it for the sake of your family, our community, and the state. A new survey reveals some reluctant americans may be waking up to the dangers of covid. Among the group surveyed in the axios ipsos poll, those who were not very likely or not at all likely to get a Covid19 Vaccine dropped from 34 in march to 20 . It could be because of the increased spread of the Delta Variant and the subsequent spike in covId Deaths and hospitalizations. In recent weeks several prominent voices on the right who were opposed to vaccines have died. Sara sidner has the details. Do not be vaccinated, you must survive the genocide. Reporter there is a growing number of conservatives who have used their platforms to badmouth Covid19 Vaccines, but did not live long enough or are too sick to tell their public just how much they regret it. I didnt want to be a guinea pig. He didnt want to be a guinea pig. Reporter Amy Lee Hair is talking about her friend, florida conservative Radio Show Host dic ferrell. He repeatedly told people not to trust the vaccine. Why get a vax promoted by people who lied to you, he posted, and, vaccine bogus bull. That was early july. A few weeks later he was in the hospital, dying from covid19. He told me this pandemic aint no joke, and he said, you need to get the shot. He told me he wished he had. Reporter the statistics that more than 600,000 americans have died from covid hadnt swayed him or her. Why did it take Dick Ferrell dying from covid for you to say, im taking it . Theres a pandemic of misinformation out there. And i think theres no truer thing ever said. Didnt Dick Ferrell add to that misinformation . Oh, yeah, he did. Reporter shes sharing his last words. Theres a whole bunch of people that said, because of dick, i went and got it. So hopefully he did some good in The End. Reporter Ferrells Story not an anomaly. Two weeks after his death, conservative radio talk Show Host and Vaccine Skeptic Phil valentine died of covid19. Before he got sick he wrote a song mocking the push to get vaccinated. And i dont care if you changing Tax Man to vax man. He told everyone he was not getting the vaccine. He got covid instead. His family relayed his regret. He recognizes his not getting the vaccination has probably caused a bunch of other people not to get vaccinated and that he regrets. Reporter he died, but his brother said his story influenced dozens to get the shot. No surprise to behavioral scientists. When theres a story about someone you trust, you know, got sick, got hospitalized, even died, that story will carry more weight. Reporter but there are a litany of other Vaccine Skeptics who got covid and have yet to acknowledge the benefits of the vaccine. From Conservative Cardinal raymond leo burke, who used his pulpit to spread baseless Conspiracy Theories about the vaccine, and ended up on a ventilator. And even the kind of microchip needs to be placed under the skin of every Person Reporter to florida Pastor Rick wyles. I am not going to be vaccinated. He too hospitalized with covid, but remains defiant about the vaccine. How big of an influence is our own ego . They dont want to recognize they have made a mistake, especially publicly. Reporter hair has no problem saying she change her mind to honor her friends wishes. I thought it was important that i put it out there. Because i did change my mind. Reporter sara sidner, cnn, los angeles. Brazil is suspending beef exports to china after reporting two cases of atypical mad cow disease. The animals were in different brazilian cities. The Agricultural Ministry says its following joint sanitary protocol between the nations and theres no risk to human health. It adds this version of the disease happens spontaneously in cows.

Over 40,000 afghans have been admitted into the u. S. Many are being housed temporarily at Government Facilities until permanent relocations can be arranged. Joining me is nguyen, cofounder of the 75 vets for 75 afghan refugee families project. The group is trying to connect families in Washington State with afghans needing to settle in the united states. Thank you so much for joining us here. You saw the comparisons between the fall of kabul to the fall of saigon, the sidebyside pictures of helicopters evacuating americans. For many people in this country, it was just a symbol, an echo of military failure. But for many vietnamese, it must have been much more personal. How did you first decide to get involved . Yeah, basically those images were just so triggering and also so sad for me. It was around dinnertime 2 1 2 weeks ago, on a monday, that i just couldnt stand to not do something. I basically texted a group of friends, and i asked them if they would join me in recruiting vietnamese families to host afghan families. And i was basically spamming them at dinnertime. Luckily this group of friends are interested and eager to do something to help. We essentially brainstormed and started working on it right away. So the group is called 75 v viets for 75 of a Fan Refugees. Whats the meaning of 75 specific specifically . That was the year our country fell and many of us became refugees. We picked that number as a reminder of essentially where we came from and where we are right now its definitely not a cap in our project. We want to overshoot that by a lot. But we wanted to name it specifically 75 as a reminder for our own connection to the Refugee Experience and our connection to the afghan experience. Yeah, its an amazing project. You wanting to pay it forward, essentially. How exactly, then, are you helping these families . Yeah, so you know, our Project Scope changes every day. And we add a little bit more to it each day. Initially what we wanted to do was recruit 75, at least 75 vietnamese families in Washington State to help host afghan refugee families. And then once we started, many people started asking for, how can i help . In terms of usponsorship, monetary sponsorship, if i cannot have the space or im not comfortable because of covid, you know, can i do other things, basically, to help these afghan families . We started looking into financial sponsorship also. And then our community also expressed interest on wanting to be a good host in terms of being very culturally competent in the afghan culture and wanting to learn more about the food and so forth. And so that we can become a welcoming host for the afghan families. So we started working on that project too, to provide more cultural competency for our Vietnamese Community, so that we can be better welcoming neighbors for the afghan families. You put your finger on it. Its not just housing, right . The afghans will face so many other issues. Settling in culturally. Linguistically. The stigma of being seen, potentially, as the enemy. Those are all issues many vietnamese faced when they came here. Yes. And you know, a part of our job, too, has been to remind the Vietnamese Community of that too, that same stigma we went through. Because i think that enough time passed, some of us forget that we were also stigmatized. And that the Vietnamese Community were not welcome at first. I think that the data show that around only 36 of americans during that period actually wanted vietnamese refugees to come to the united states. It took a lot of advocacy from people to encourage all these governors to step and up welcome us. Thats what were also hoping to do for the afghan community, to really help the rest of america really understand the plight and the hard and difficult decisions that these refugees have to make. And the hard journey in resettlement for them. And so hopefully that many more of us will step up and become better neighbors and allies. A State Department Official told cnn that most of the afghans who worked alongside u. S. Forces didnt get out. Very similar to the thousands of Vietnamese In 75 who should have been evacuated who were left stranded by the u. S. So what about those afghans who were left behind . Is there any way to help them . My family was one of those families. So, you know, the people who left in 1975 were considered the lucky ones relative to us, the ones that were stuck behind. I watched my father, went to reeducation camp, our lives were a lot worse. We had to finally try to escape. And i lost a lot of Family Members because of that. So im sharing that because i just want the community to realize that things can get really, really bad for those that are still stuck behind and who have to deal with the consequences of the new regime. So one of the best ways to actually help them is that we increase the quota to allow refugees to come into the country. And then we also act as sponsor to basically become a to validate and be an agent for these families that are still left behind in afghanistan. Its an amazing initiative. And we wish you all the best of luck helping all of those families. Nguyen, thank you so much for joining us, really appreciate it. Thank you.

Some of them are part of the u. N. Team clearing land mines and explosives that the taliban themselves planted in decades of war. But now those women may not be allowed to do that job under taliban rule. Cnns Max Foster reports the head of the u. N. s Land Mine Team is negotiating for his Teams Safety from continents away. Reporter high up in the English Yorkshire moors, famous for being used as a set for the Harry Potter movies, Paul Heslop whiles away the days negotiating with the taliban. He left kabul shortly before the country was taken over and hes trying to find a way back in, to continue his work running the u. N. Mine clearance program. The country is absolutely littered in explosive remnants of war. There are the ieds they laid to try and disrupt government organizations, then the normal conflict grenades, rockets, shells that have been used, plus what was dropped on them. Reporter the irony is that the taliban is now asking for help in clearing the ieds that they laid in the first place. I am expecting to have a call with a taliban representative in the next few days to discuss how we can start getting at the moment about 40 of the demining teams in afghanistan working. By The End of september wed like 80 , 90 . Reporter one of those Teams Isemale and heslop is taking advice on whether there might be a compromise to allow them to keep working. Perhaps if they were accompanied. One of the things were reaching out to is some of the sort of academic scholars, theologians, who understand the Talibans Interpretation of the koran and what Sharia Law means to them and how that affects women. And seeing, are there any interpretations that would allow a husbandwife team, a fatherdaughter, a brothersister team, to work together to be able to do that . Reporter if heslop can find a way to get back into kabul, and especially if he can retain female staff, it could be a useful Test Case for other employers hoping to operate there.

Cnns Nadya Romero is in New Orleans where thousands are trying their luck by moving to shelters outside the city.

Not having power, which means no ac, in the admit of what is a hot time in the gulf coast, the Heat Index so high, residents say its unbearable.

But it will continue to bring the potential for rain into bermuda as well as the strong winds, depending on exactly where that Eye Wall goes. The indirect threats to the Eastern Seaboard of the u. S. , this is a long Public Holiday weekend, so monday is Labor Day across the united states. So people have the day off. They flock to the beaches, catching the last few rays of summer. With a large, major hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean, it pushes up waves and swell, eventually impacting some of the coastal regions. That could create rip currents. Rip current warnings will be in place. That is a concern for anyone just vacationing along the coastline. All right, theres larry. Lets talk about whats potential development here in the next five days across the central gulf of mexico. Also something we dont want to see, its all thanks to this cluster of thunderstorms across central america. Ive kind of diagnosed and analyzed the latest models from this. Very small chances. National Hurricane Center has a 30 probability of development. Computer models all spread out across this region. Im not exactly sure where its going to go, where and if it will actually develop. But we do believe that this will be more of a Rain Threat to the area, not what we want to hear in New Orleans, considering what weve had to deal with lately. Of course, the remnants of ida or at least the lasting impacts from Id De still being felt across this area with so many without power, now the excessive heat watches and advisories continuing. Right now temperatures have cooled into the middle 20s overnight. Look at the daytime highs going forward for New Orleans. Lower 30s. Factor in the humidity level. It feels warmer on your skin outside. Very uncomfortable conditions. And of course, heat is one of the worst Weather Killers in the united states, which is a terrible stat to look at. But it is the hard reality of these situations, kim. Yeah, absolutely. All right, thanks so much, appreciate it. In california, a first responder has died fighting the massive Dixie Fire.

The Closing Ceremony for the paralympics is just hours away. Athletes from Around The World competed in tokyo and broke dozens of records. China is dominated the Medal Count with 96 golds and 207 total medals. Great britain is a distant second with 41 golds and 124 total medals. Followed by the united states and the russian paralympic committee. Despite warnings from health officials, Tens Of Thousands of schoolaged children have been attending the games. Two teachers in Eastern Japan have tested positive for covid19 after escorting their students to the paralympics. Cnns Blake Essig has more from tokyo. Reporter for more than a month, this is what its looked like inside hospitals and clinics across tokyo. Children, in some cases as young as 1 month old, testing positive for covid19. [ crying and coughing ] reporter fueled by the Delta Variant, the number of Kids Testing positive for covid has increased by 350 since The End of july at this doctors clinic. During that time for people under the age of 20, confirmed cases in tokyo have increased nearly 270 . Translator i dont think its surprising. The infection between children will spread. And the symptoms will become stronger than they are now. Reporter yet paralympic organizers and the japanese government are allowing Tens Of Thousands of elementary through High School Students attend events. Health experts worry that decision could lead to more cases. But organizers remain committed to allowing children to watch the games in person in a safe and secure manner, with many hopeful that the opportunity for kids to see athletes with disabilities compete will help change the attitude of future generations. Translator theres still a lot of prejudice against people with disabilities in japan. I really hope that the paralympics can inspire people to change their views. Reporter but medical professionals call this decision irresponsible, especially as some people diagnosed with covid19 die at home, unable to receive medical care because hospitals and staff simply cant handle any more patients. According to the government, nearly 120,000 covid patients are currently trying to recover at home. About 30 of them should be hospitalized. Translator the medical system is already collapsing, and we also know that the Delta Variant infects children. Given all that, i dont think it is a good idea to form big groups or attend events in person. Reporter but kids are attending events, and so far, two teachers who else courted children have already tested positive for the virus, requiring 120 kids who had contact with the teachers to be tested and their school to be temporarily closed.
