World. Im kim brunhuber. This is cnn newsroom. Afghanistans valley now the focus of taliban efforts to completely take over the country but antitaliban forces are fighting back. Panjshir is the only territory not under taliban control. Fresh fighting was reported saturday with both sides claiming successes. Cnn cannot independently verify the accuracy of those reports. And the largest Currency Exchange Market reopened for the first time in nearly three weeks, but banks are limiting withdrawals. Ben farmer is in kabul and is joining us by phone. So lets start with that fighting, what is the latest on the conflict there . We know that there have been several days of heavy fighting in panjshir, and as you said both sides have said that they have had successes and victories, but all we know independently is that the taliban have penetrated into The Valley as far as a hospital which is run by an international aid charity. And it is a significant way into The Valley. So the situation of the resistance is quite it is difficult at the moment. They put out a statement overnight calling on the international community and the United Nations to try to stop the onslaught and also warning that there is a humanitarian crisis because of the fighting. So lets turn now to life in kabul. When you and i spoke yesterday, the money Exchange Market had just reopened. Youve spent time speaking to people about the challenges of trying to get access to cash. What did you find out . The economic situation for ordinary afghans is very difficult. The banks are open but there are strict limits on how much you can withdraw. That limit is currently 200 a week. And of course you can only withdraw money if youve got it in the bank. Lots and lots of afghans have not been paid for a long time. The government which has a significant Payroll Hasnt paid its workers for two months. Several people weve spoken to havent been paid for that long and they really are desperate. If you look around the city as well, although there are signs that normality is returning, it is not there yet. Lots and lots of shops are closed. Lots and lots of storefronts are shuttered. And the economic situation is difficult for a lot of people. All right. Thank you so much, Ben Farmer in kabul. While the world waits for the taliban to announce how it plans to govern, Women Activists Again Marched In Kabul to demand equal rights under the new regime. While the demonstration was noisy but peaceful until they tried to march to the president ial palace. That is when taliban militants reportedly turned hostile accosting some of the women. One protestor described what happened. Translator together with a group of our colleagues, we wanted to go near the former Government Offices for a protest. But before we got there, the taliban Hit Women with electric tasers and they used Tear Gas against women. They also Hit Women on the head with a Gun Magazine and the women became bloody. There was no one to ask why. Americas top general says he feels Pain And Anger over afghanistan. Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark milley says it comes from seeing everything that has unfolded over the past 20 years and the last 20 days of the war. He spoke of losing soldiers killed in action and as well as the wounded and grieving families. The general visited with troops returning from fgafghanistan an praised them for their role. You did an incredible job, All Of You, everybody. Army, navy, marines, air force, 124,000 people. That is what you saved. That is what came out of there. And we have more coverage of afghanistan ahead this hour including a report on the ethnic minority stuck between the Taliban And China. Here in the u. S. The country is reeling from a devastating week of extreme weather. The Death Toll has climbed to at least 50 in the northeast from Idas Record Rainfall and flooding. Hardest Hit State is New Jersey. The governor announced saturday that the Death Toll there now stands at 27. In louisiana, there are still widespread Power Outages across the state amid the scorching heat. Long lines outside Gas Stations and a shortage of Essential Supplies like Food And Water underline the struggle many face to recover in the wake of the storm. Nadia romero is in new orleans where thousands there are trying their luck elsewhere by moving to shelters outside the city. Reporter well, it has been several days now since Hurricane Ida made her way through the city and residents say it is the aftermath that is really starting to wear on them, not having power which means no ac and in the middle of what is a very hot time here in the Gulf Coast especially in new orleans where the Heat Index being so high, residents say it is unbearable. So many of them have come out here right outside the Convention Center and over here you can see there is a line of Coach Buses that have lined up to pick up people up to 2200 evacuees a day through the city of new orleans, they get picked up from about 12 different locations, they all come to the Convention Center, go through a Registration Process and then get on a bus and they take them out of the city like To Shreveport or texas. Listen to why one woman says she had to evacuate now. What are you missing in your home that is making it unlivable . Well, it just smells bad in there, you know. It is setting up mold, yeah. Reporter is it hot, do you have any food . I aint got no food. My food is spoiled. I dont have no food. I had to throw it out. T and it is rough. And then we get so much heat. Reporter so the city went to assisted living facilities and Nursing Homes to try to reach out to those who are Special Needs cases to make sure that they were okay. And if not, to get them loaded up on a bus and to safety. And they will have the Convention Center open for the next couple days to take more people who are in need. Nadia romero, cnn, new orleans. Louisiana is ordering seven Nursing Homes that evacuated residents to a warehouse that have Hurricane Ida to close immediately pending further action. The States Health Department has confirmed seven deaths among hundreds who moved, five of those deaths are being classified as stormrelated. Officials say the temporary shelter was simply overwhelmed resulting in Power And Sanitation failures. Cnn has reached out to the owner of the Nursing Home facilities but hasnt heard back. The State Attorney General is launching an investigation. The White House says president Joe Biden will travel to New Jersey and New York on tuesday to survey some of the storms damage. Polo sandoval is in pennsylvania getting a firsthand look at Recovery Efforts there. Reporter if you wonder where most of the water that was flooding many neighborhoods and streets and parts of philadelphia has gone, you are basically looking at it here. You see Pennsylvania Department of transportation authorities have, worked around the clock to pump a lot of that water out of those roadways and neighborhoods and into the Schuylkill River that was actually reaching rose about 2 feet above major Flood Stage just a couple days ago. And since then weve seen the Water Level here drop considerably and that signals the end of one phase and perhaps start of another which is going to be just clearing out all of the debris left behind. And if you look below, give you an idea of what this river carried into some portions of the city here, this if you look at the before photo, this is a beautiful clear space where youd usually see people walking, but now you see all the debris that has washed up. The Big Question is when and how will the city of philadelphia be able to clear spaces like this out. But really there are even bigger concerns in neighboring New Jersey which is where we saw at least half of the total fatalities. And i heard from people there in the Garden State in the last couple days, yes, there are many families that are grieving, there are also many families who lost their homes all together. So the question of when they will be able to actually pick up the pieces and move on, that is still up in the air. They will certainly want to hear from President Biden as he makes preparations to actually visit parts of New York and New Jersey early next week. Certainly going to be a big spotlight on him as millions of americans are now wanting to see what will happen next. Polo sandoval, cnn, philadelphia. From strong storms and unprecedented flooding in the east to extreme heat, historic droughts and out of control fires in the west. This has been another year of extreme weather in the u. S. And Around The World. And experts say they know what is to blame. Climate change. Natasha chen reports. Reporter from Coast To coast, people are fleeing flames, wind and water. Very dangerous conditions and in 22 year of doing this, ive never seen Fire Conditions like were seeing now. Reporter the Caldor Fire has forced Tens Of Thousands to evacuate. It is the 15th largest wildfire in california history. And out of the largest 20 california fires, 11 of them happened in the last five years. Up the coast, the Pacific Northwest saw a Recordbreaking Heatwave earlier in the summer. Red cross traditionally doesnt support cooling centers but this is unfortunately our new normal, this is the first time it was 116 fdegrees. Wont be the last time. Reporter in the south people are displaced from Hurricane Ida. And in the northeast we are in a whole New World now. Lets be blunt about it. Reporter Remnants Of Ida brought Flash Flooding and tornadoes to areas that rarely y saw these events in the past. Record in central park, 3. 15 inches in one hour, it broke a Record Set literally one week earlier. That says to me that there are no more cataclysmic up f unforeseeable events. Reporter and the report confirms that widespread and rapid changes have already happened caused by humans. Elite author of that report explains how the earth has warmed more than 1 Degree Celsius since preindustrial levels. Weve known for decades that rise in Fossil Fuel emissions are driving warming across the planet. This warming is related to the heating of the atmosphere that has caused a 7 increase in the amount of Water Vapor that the atmosphere can hold. Reporter more Water Vapor leads to higher humidity and in some areas more drought. This is the first time weve seen a mega drought where it is year after year. Reporter and in other areas potential for more rainfall and more frequent heavy rainstorms with oceans retaining more heat, hurricanes can get stronger, slower and wetter. And ida was a prime example of those changes. With every fraction of a degree of warming, the effects get worse. If we think this is bad, we have to get ready for the climate of the next decades chen we know that we have a Couple Tenths of a degree warming more. All Righ Reporter and the u. N. Reports that the worlds emissions need to drop smartly to net zero Carbon Emissions by 2050, even then well peak before falling again. I grew up here in california and in the 80s and 90s, we didnt hear of as many large wildfires as we do today.

Covid cases among children are soaring across the u. S. Here is a closer look at the numbers from the american pediatric association. Nearly 4. 8 million u. S. Children have tested positive since the pandemic started. But in the last month and a half, weekly cases among children have increased fivefold from nearly 38,000 in midjuly to more than 200,000 at the end of august. Dr. Topal is Cardiologist And Professor with scripps research. Thanks for joining me. I want to look at The Big Picture across the country in terms of covid and kids. Last Week Close to one in four cases were among kids and pediatric hospitalizations among kids and teens are soaring. What is behind this, is it that the Delta Variant causes worse symptoms in teens and kids or is it that the variant is so much more transmissible and more young people getting it . Good to be with you, kim. I think that there is something that we have to reckon with because at first we thought delta was just about this contagiousness. But now weve seen two very large studies of adults that there is a doubling of hospitalization. In Fact Denmark Yesterday almost a tripling of hospitalization. So there is no reason that that Wouldnt Transfer to children as well. So we think this is a version of the virus that is more Veer Uhe leapt, that is it is not just contagious but also leads to more hospitalizations among children. Covid cases in kids in Los Angeles i noticed were up quite a bit, but california has been fairing relatively well compared to much of the country. Why is that . It is always hard to dissect what are the reasons because there are so many different factors. California is somewhat above average. As you know, there is a new Cdc Report that really shows that the more adults vaccinated the better the children do below the age of 12. So california is in that second tier, not in the top vaccinated states but in the second tier. So that is one reason. Another reason of course is in california there is a mandate for all teachers to be vaccinated. And that was the first state do that. And then there are unpredictable factors. San francisco is a city one of the cities with the highest Vaccination Rates in the country but as you say, it is all throughout the state that it looks relatively well. So we never can explain these things fully. Look at oregon, oregon has a much higher Vaccination Rate but it has had a lot of trouble with kids and adults being hospi hospitalized. So always a bit of a mystery. You touched on the Vaccination Mandates for teachers. So im wondering with kids in many places who have been this school for a month or so, what are we learning about whether Mask Mandates and vaccine mandates, whether they work or not. Is there much proof . I think that the proof for the benefit of masks is unequivocal and we need to stop denying that. Inconvenient truth of course, but all the studies on masks converge on that being the finding is that it is protective. And again, if children are wearing a mask and if they get covid, they get less of a dose of covid so symptoms will be much less, much less likely to transmit to other children. So the vaccines obviously help quite a bit. We need to get more Adolescents Adva vaccinated because they network a lot, they are important C Conduits for other kids. So these are the things that we can do. But masks in schools as you know a very heated topic and many schools dont have those mandates. So many parents are nervous understandably and we saw a recent survey by the national parent teacher association, survey funded by the cdc i understand, found that more and more parents these days want their kids to have online option and that number has increased recently. But many schools, they arent offering it anymore. Are we going to have to change the way that schools are run going forward to account for endemic covid or maybe the next mutation . That is a really important point you are getting at which is how can you force schools to go open when you have such high circulating levels as weve seen with the kids in Kentucky And Georgia and many of the southern states now. So it is not a problem when you have things in check like in New England for example which is the best region of the country that has been vaccinated. But when you have so much virus, pulling out all the stops may not be enough. So well get through this Delta Wave in the weeks ahead, were just starting to turn the corner. And when we get down to lower levels, then we can get back to opening the schools, hopefully getting more embracement of masks and getting vaccinations and eventually of course well get kids being able to be vaccinated later this year i hope and that will help matters too. Doctor, thank you so much for joining us. Thank you, kim. U. S. 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 and a global database says mu has been detected in all but two u. S. States but officials dont believe it is an immediate threat. Cdc numbers show that the Mu Variant counts for less than half of one percent of cases and the Delta Variant accounts for just over 99 . Safe to say it has been a bad week for the u. S. President. With mixed messages about vaccine boosters, sinking Approval Ratings and messy pullout from afghanistan, can Joe Biden rebound . We have an expert on u. S. Politic next. Plus many afghan fear their new taliban rulers, and one group is especially worried. Uighurs fear their sanctuary in afghanistan is no longer safe. Well be live in hong kong.

Welcome back to All Of You watching us here in the United States, canada and Around The World. Im kim brunhuber. This is cnn newsroom. President biden is facing setbacks for his agenda on multiple fronts. The president spoke several times this week defending the pullout from afghanistan, Terror Attack on Kabuls Airport during the evacuations killed 13 american service members and at least 170 others. Meanwhile the biden administration has been trying to clear up confusion and mixed messaging to getting Covid19 Booster vaccines to the american people. And the Economy Isnt involving from the pandemic as fast as analysts hoped. Only 235,000 jobs were created in august, the lowest number in more than six months. The economists expected more than three times that amount. Finally congress u. S. Senate Democrat Joe Manchin is threatening to derail a key pillar of the president s legislative agenda, the 3. 5 trillion stimulus package. Here is how Phil Mattingly described it and how the White House is responding. Reporter the White House has a lot of work to do. White house officials openly acknowledge that. They believe that they can get control of what has happened over the course of the last several weeks. However there are still americans on the ground in afghanistan, that is something the White House needs to continue to work on, there is obviously still a surge in the pandemic, that is something that we want to hear the president im told talk about a lot in the coming days trying to restore a sense of confidence in the u. S. Approach to that, and then there is the economy, which is quite intertwined with that pandemic and how it ends up. Again, no shortage of issues for the White House to deal with. A number of issues that run headlong into what the president pledged he would bring to office. White house officials confident that they can get the country back to the place they thought they were a few months ago and perhaps much further than they thought they could be depending on that legislative agenda. But a lot of work ahead and certainly officials acknowledge that they are happy to get the month of august behind them. In the midst of these challenges, bidens public Approval Rating is taking a hit, just 43 of americans approve of the job he is doing. More than half about 51 say that they disapprove, that is according to a new poll from npr, Maris And Pbr news hour. Lets bring in a professor of Political Science and he is joining me from oxford, england. Great to see you again. So were framing this as bidens bad week. But really many of these issues have been brewing for quite some time now. So lets start with afghanistan. Polls show most americans support the idea of withdrawing u. S. Forces but increasingly voters are vittcritical of how n handled it understandably and it is a huge drop from july until now, more than 20 points i think. Will that stick . Good morning, kim. Always great to be with you. Clearly the last few weeks especially with afghanistan have been a jolt to the biden administration. That is undeniable. Approval ratings for the White House have dipped in to negative territory according to some polls, republicans using the images coming out of kabul to reinforce the narrative of an unreliable commander in chief, even democratic allies have questioned how bidens recent decisions square with a leader who promised to be a steady hand and restore american trust. So this is really bidens first true foreign Policy Test and it is not a trivial one. I think what will ultimately determine whether this sticks, whether this is just a down political period for biden or the beginning of a more protracted loss of political capital, is how well the administration can flip the script. Were seeing the White House Communications Office try to pivot back to domestic issues but even hear there is no Safe Harbor given the depressing data that we see on covid19, disappointing job nupgnumbers, manchins pause on the reconciliation bill, et cetera. So were well past the democratic honeymoon with biden. So lets drill in on the economy. Between the high gas prices, rising inflation and now the disappointing job numbers. If the midterms come down to it is the economy, stupid, then democrats might be in trouble. Exactly. The Jobs Report really shows that the Delta Variant is continuing to have a depressing effect on the Labor Market and the economy generally. So the number of jobs that were created in august just over 200,000, that is the smallest figure since beginning of the year. All in all, the United States is down about 5 Million jobs across the country since before the Covid19 Pandemic struck. So the destiny of the u. S. Economy is really tied to the ability of the biden administration to get this covid under control especially heading into the fall. Definitely not the news that biden was hoping for as he grapples with all of these other challenges. Outside of infrastructure, the number of fiscal levers that remain at Bidens Disposal are limit and when were likely to see is that the federal reserve continue to keep Interest Rates low but that too is going to raise Alarm Bells about inflationary pressures. So between now and the midterms in 2022, i think that lot of what american voters will be looking at is the state of the u. S. Economy. And for biden even what was good news is turning sour. You look at the covid issue, used to be considered his strength but then with the resur against of the Delta Variant and medal the messaging on boosters, polls suggest a growing number of voters seem to be losing confidence in his handling of that as well. And then leaving maybe the worst for last, bidens agenda again may be at stake. Joe manchin calling for a strategic pause on the 3. 5 trillion social spending plan. Making what was already a tough and complex negotiation even tougher which could jeopardize bidens bipartisan Infrastructure Bill. Exactly. I mean, Manchins Euphemism of a strategic pause is not good news for the democrats. I still think it is possible to overstate how much some of these recent events especially in afghanistan will filter into Domestic Policy and i dont think that we can make a Blanket Statement about what the impact will be. It is very case specific. It still seems more likely than not that the 1 Trillion Infrastructure Bill that has already passed the senate will become law which will only require Democrats Vote along Party Lines in the house. But this additional 3. 5 trillion Spending Proposal which was already a tough sell for the White House in ideal circumstances will probably be made harder given bidens dipping numbers. That is a bill that is jampacked with progressive Wish List items including clean energy, family leave, housing, prek schooling, et cetera. Some democrats especially in moderate reluctant to vote for that anyway. And there now may be more pause. And so lets put a bow on it. The recurring theme here seems to be that decrease in the confidence in biden who basically ran on the idea of competence, that is being questioned more than ever before. His overall approval polls, the lowest in his presidency so far. The polls have moved a lot down as it turns out fairly quickly here so does it mean that they are volatile and can go back up just as quickly . I think so. But if democrats receive a shellacking in 2022, much like the republican wave during obamas first term in 2010, we might look to this last month as an inflection point. We know that the party in the White House is usually at a political disadvantage during the midterms anyway. Which means that democrats are already fighting an Uphill Battle to retain congress. Obviously some forecasters are saying that botched afghanistan withdrawal will still be hanging around the necks of decks in 14 months. Others insist that the really devastating images that were seeing out of there will have receded by that time. My own sense is that this is not a failed blow for democrats and biden unless they let it be. Data show that remarkably large portions of americans arent paying attention to some of the issues in afghanistan, they are much more focused on what happens at home. So whether this is just a blip or whether this is much more sustained will ultimately be determined i think by what unfolds over the next several months particularly with the economy. Yeah, absolutely. And covid as well. Thomas gift, again, thank you so much, appreciate your tile. Thanks, kim.

Taliban takeover has alarmed many afghans who fear their harsh policies, among them uighurs who relocated to afghanistan from china years ago, now many are terrified that the taliban will deport them back to china. Ivan watson is joining us from hong kong. Youve been looking into this story. What more can you tell us . There are a number of different communities in afghanistan that are concerned for the future. And they can vary based on ethn ethnicity, religion, gender or what kind of a Role Somebody may have played in the past regime, whether they were a journalist or a member of the government or a human rights activist. Take a look for example, saturday there was a womens Rights Protest in downtown kabul. And that attracted the attention of the taliban and apparently led to violence and a crackdown on several dozen women who tried to come out to assert their freedoms. Take a listen to what one of them had to say afterwards. Translator together with a group of our colleagues, we wanted to go near the former Government Offices for a protest but before we got there, the taliban Hit Women with electric taser and they used Tear Gas against women. They also Hit Women on the head with a Gun Magazine and the women became bloody. There was no one to ask why. Reporter now, a taliban official has since said that the women who were in that protest were trying to stir up trouble and insisted that they only represented 0. 1 of the population in afghanistan. There is as you mentioned, kim, another community, quite small minority of ethnic uighurs from Neighboring China who have expressed real concern that they could be caught in between the Taliban And China in the coming months. During the final frantic days of the evacuation from Kabul Airport, a woman films desperate families waiting under The Sun for a seat on a plane out of afghanistan. Look at these poor people, she says. This is a difficult sad situation, very painful. She is speaking a language that is foreign to afghanistan. Uighur. She is a member of the ethnic Ui Uighur minority who moved to afghanistan more than a decade ago after marrying an afghan. On august 25th, the Womans Family made it on to this Military Flight to italy where she speaks to cnn from quarantine on condition we dont identify her. She fears the taliban could hurt her inlaws still in afghanistan. And that the chinese government could target her other relatives. Translator right now china is trying to capture and sendwe. If i go back to china, the chinese would torture and kill me. Reporter uighurs exiled are among the many terrified by the taliban takeover. Im representative of reporter this man was born in afghanistan after parents fled. What scenario are you worried about . There is a lot of the families in afghanistan, uighur families living in afghanistan, and they are afraid from china because the taliban was dealing with china behind the door and they are afraid to send them back to china. Reporter since 2016, china allegedly detained up to 2 Million uighurs and other muslims in Internment Camps as part of what it calls a campaign against islamic extremism. Yet beijing has been courting the taliban. They held talks in late july and this week a taliban spokesman called for closer ties with bei beijing. Translator we look forward to building a very strong relationship with china. Because it is a rapidly developing country which can support afghanistan. Reporter cnn obtained testimony of more than a dozen uighurs detailing alleged Detention And Deportation from other middle eastern countries back to china. Asked about this recent report which alleges the forced repatriation of over 851 uighurs from 23 countries from 1997 and 2016, chinas Foreign Ministry told Cnn The Report was published by an separatist organization and not worth a response. That is cold comfort for this family who dont want to be identified. Translator we face oppression here in afghanistan. And were afraid to go back after hearing about the oppression in our homeland. Reporter Uighur Exiles caught between a rock and a hard place like millions of others in afghanistan, now facing a very uncertain future. For its part the taliban has issued a general amnesty they say for all afghans who may have had roles in the former u. S. Backed government saying that they are all welcome to participate in building a future talibanruled afghanistan. But there is clearly a fair amount of suspicion and mistrust. All you have to do is look at the crowds of people who desperately packed around Kabul Airport in the last days of the u. S. Evacuation, and more recently throngs of people trying to getting across the border between afghanistan and pakistan which triggered a stampede and left at least one person dead. That was just a few days ago. An important angle in this evolving story. One to follow. Thank you so much, Ivan Watson in hong kong. The paralympics are coming to a close in tokyo.

Closing ceremony for the paralympics is just hours away. Athletes from Around The World broke dozens of records. China is dominating the Medal Count with 96 golds and 207 total medals. Great britain is a distant second with 42 golds. Followed by the United States and russian paralympic committee. Jessica long won since medals giving her 29 career medals. And she spoke about her remarkable career. Jessica, you are now a 29time paralympic medalist, going home with a full set of medals. How will you reflect on your experience here . It is unreal. I dont think that it has really hit me yet. I like the sound of 29 paralympic medals. That sounds so insane just thinking about this journey that ive been on since i was 12 years old and finding out about the paralympic movement. And you were just 12 at your first, youngest on the paralympic team. What has kept your Drive And Motivation after all these years . What has really motivated me is just going back to that little 12yearold girl who never gave up. Even when days get tough and i definitely have a lot of tough days, even with the postponement, just going back to her and how she would never give up. So why am i going to give up. You were born in russia with a rare health condition. How did that impact your childhood . I had a food with three toes. After i was adopted, they had it will pew at a timed so i could wear propertysthetic leg. And there are so many things that are painful to rer. As soon as i got the left leg done and i started to learn how to walk again, it was back to the right leg. And it was a constant it was constantly overcoming. I think in some crazy way i just thought that it was somewhat of a punishment. I was adopted, it is very real to feel abandoned. Even though i was in such a loving family with a total of six kids, you feel like what did i do wrong. Everyone else had legs. No one else had to get surgery. It was survival and it really set the tone to never give up. How did that constant barrage of obstacles, how does that fuel your swimming . Im still in pain every day. My legs hurt. I think that that is just kind of something that comes along with being an amputee. So it is so funny to me that i picked a sport where every day ill be challenged and in pain and feeling the burden on my shoulders. But at the same time it is such a confidenmfort, just pushing t and knowing no matter what, i can overcome it. And you talked about being exhausted after the rio olympics. What happened there and how did you bounce back . I was totally burned out. I had a really bad Eating Disorder and i lost about 20 pounds. I was really sick. I was really weak. Mentally, physically, emotionally. And it was something that i felt like i had to get through it, but it felt so incredibly challenging. And when i got back, it was the first time that i truly felt depressed, sad and i didnt like the word depressed. I think back then it felt like such a bad word. You know, we talk a lot about the postolympic blues but after six months and i was still feeling down and just like a failure, i knew i needed some help. A key conversation at the Tokyo Olympics was athlete Mental Health, you had Simone Biles talking about all the pressures athletes face. How did you relate . I started seeing a counselor after rio and just talking about my Mental Health. Coming into these games i felt more prepared than ever, but Mental Health is such a journey. I know when i get home there will still be a lot of processing and not being too hard on myself. I think coming out here i realized just truly how loved i am as a person and that matter my outcome,is going home to a husband who loves me and a family who loves me and that was enough. That is just as successful as a Gold Medal to me. So the 29 medals are incredible, but you realize that you are more just those 29 medals. As incredible as it is. Ill look at them, ill celebrate, i will let people wear them, hold them, because everyone has been a part of this journey with me. After i celebrate, ill protect put them in my Medal Basket in my closet and get ready for paris. That was Jessica Long there speaking with selina wang.
