Announcer live from cnn center, this is Cnn Newsroom with Robyn Curnow. The taliban are pushing ahead with their offensive in northern afghanistan in their quest to take control of the last holdout for resistance fighters. On sunday, fierce fighting was reported in the Panjshir Valley with both sides claiming to have made gains. Now, the leader of the national Resistance Front says he supports calls for an end to the fighting and is ready to talk once the taliban withdraw their fighters. Meanwhile, a vital lifeline for afghanistan has reopened. The Kabul Airport is now seeing more domestic flights resume, and on Sunday Aid planes brought in more than 50 tons of medical supplies and food. And while the taliban have taken a key step in reopening the airport, they still havent announced what their new government will look like. Nic robertson has the details on that. Nic. Reporter the taliban are still yet to announce whos going to be in their government. They said it would be inclusive, include nontaliban members. Pakistans head of the intelligence services, the isi, went to kabul, saturday met with the taliban. Pakistani sources now telling us that the talibans supreme leader, the one that they call the commander of the faithful, he is going to remain as the top leader of the taliban. Theres a Dispute Over who could be defense minister. Theres a contest between some pretty powerful military commanders within the taliban on that. But what they have said, what this source says is that the taliban will not put anyone in that government who is under u. N. Sanctions for connection to terrorism. But this is really a very slow process. I think everyone that expected it to happen much sooner. The indications are that whomever this nontaliban person is that gets included is likely to be a relatively lowprofile politician, may in fact not get a position of real Power And Influence within the taliban government. And we also understand dont expect any women to be in that government in significant senior positions. Now, women have been protesting on The Streets of kabul. A third protest saturday and elsewhere in the country as well. That small protest by a small group of Women In Kabul came to blows when the taliban tried to break it up. They were trying to get to the president ial palace according to a local news station. One of the women got blooded and it is the taliban also announcing strict Dress Codes for women in higher education and women to be separated from women. Separate classrooms unless theyre really tiny classes and to arrive at separate times. So the taliban really going forward with their strict interpretation of sharia law. Nic robertson there in pakistan. Anna coren has covered affect for many, many years. Anna joins me now with the latest. Anna, hi. What do we know about the Airport Reopening and what the meaning of that is, the significance . Reporter well, robyn, as we know, this is a vital link to the outside world, and the domestic carrier, Ariana Afghan Airlines has resumed flights within afghanistan to the major provincial cities of herat, kandahar, and Mew Czar Sharif in the north. This means they can move around people, supplies, you know, amongst this landlocked country, and that is definitely a return to some sort of semblance of normality in the country, at least, you know, as far as Travel Or Air travel is concerned. But we know that a technical team from qatar arrived. They helped with the repairs to the airport runway, which was damaged during the mass evacuations where more than 120,000 people were airlifted out of afghanistan, out of kabul within 16 days. You know, people came into the airport afterwards. There was damage, looting. So repairs to that runway have been completed to a standard where now foreign aid, international flights can land with foreign aid. That is what we have been seeing over the last couple of days. This, as we know, robyn, desperately needed due to the humanitarian crisis that is facing afghanistan. The question now is when will those Evacuation Flights resume. We know that the uk foreign secretary, dominic raab, was in qatar the last few days. He met with the taliban leadership to discuss this exact issue, and he believes that those Evacuation Flights will resume in the future, near future. The taliban has said that people with u. S. Passports, with visas to other countries, will be allowed to travel. But international flights out of the country have not taken place as yet, robyn. Okay. Well continue to monitor that. Lets just talk more about the economic situation, anna. We certainly are getting warnings that it is dire. We know that many of the banks are closed. People have a limit on how much money they can take out. What is it like on the ground in terms of what folks are having to deal with . Reporter its dire on the ground. Weve seen those scenes outside banks where people have queued for days. They open them sporadically. People are only allowed out a certain amount of money, limited to perhaps like 100 u. S. Dollars. We also know that the currency has plummeted. The price of basic goods, rice, oil, flour, have risen. Its all becoming just way to extensive in this very impoverished country. According to the united nations, a third of the population is struggling to survive. Half the population is malnourished. This is a country that is going through a very severe drought, and in the coming months, winter is arriving. The head of the u. N. Relief agency has been in kabul, is there. He was tweeting, sent out a Press Release saying that we want to continue to offer assistance to the afghan people. We will cooperate with the taliban leadership. The taliban obviously very grateful for that to ensure that aid continues to come in. But, robyn, we have to remember that former afghan governments have been propped up by foreign aid. Something like 60 of the money coming in has been foreign aid. The taliban will need this foreign aid unless it resorts to the Heroin Trade to prop up the government. But if youre going to do business with the west, if youre going to have some sort of legitimacy, you are going to need the international community to play ball. And, robyn, as we know, this is perhaps the only leverage that the united states and the international community have in dealing with the taliban. Anna coren, thanks so much for that update. So nearly a week after president Joe Biden declared The End to americas longest war, there are concerns about just how many americans are still trying to get out of afghanistan. One republican lawmaker now claims the taliban are preventing some u. S. Citizens from flying out. Suzanne malveaux has the details from washington on that. Suzanne. Reporter alarmist language, a dire warning from a top republican congressman, michael mccaul. He is the top republican of the house foreign affairs committee, saying that american citizens are on the ground being held by the taliban, that they are not able to get on these flights, that they are in a desperate situation, saying hes getting this information from classified briefings. And he is describing it as something that is similar to a near hostage situation. We had six airplanes at mazza sharif airport. Also with these interpreters. And the taliban is holding them hostage for demands right now. The state has cleared these flights, and the taliban will not let them leave the airport. Reporter because of the specific nature of mccauls claims, cnn has reached out to Government Agencies to help amplify, clarify or even confirm what he is saying here. While the State Department says it cannot confirm the details, the specifics of this situation, they put out a statement here saying we understand the concern that many people are feeling as they try to facilitate passage out of afghanistan. However, we do not have personnel on the ground. We do not have Air Assets in the country. We do not control the airspace, whether over afghanistan or elsewhere in the region. Given these constraints, we also do not have a reliable means to confirm the basic details of charter flights, including who may be organizing them, the number of u. S. Citizens and other priority groups onboard. Cnn has reached out to a nonprofit group, like many of these groups that are trying to get american citizens out of kabul, out of the airport. They say that, yes, there are some that are being held there, that the taliban is not allowing for these planes to leave. A spokesperson from the State Department, however, reiterating that they will hold the taliban accountable to the commitment that they made that american citizens as well as allies will be able to leave the country freely. But, of course, all right now is very uncertain. Suzanne malveaux, cnn, at the capitol. It has been a week since Hurricane Ida charged ashore in louisiana, and its still claiming victims. A 74yearold man from New Orleans died of heat exhaustion. Thats according to the state health department. The tally of stormrelated deaths in louisiana is now standing at 13. We know that nearly 600,000 customers across the state are still without Power And Face another day of scorching temperatures. It could take actually several more weeks to fully restore electricity there. Residents are also navigating a minefield of other challenges, including a shortage of food, water, and gasoline. And then in the northeast, Idas Record Rainfall and flooding have left at least 50 people dead there. A short time ago, the president , Joe Biden, issued a Disaster Declaration for new jersey. That will certainly speed up federal aid for the victims of the storm there. Meanwhile, across state lines, New Yorkers are hoping for the same kind of help from the biden administration as Polo Sandoval now reports. Polo. Reporter were in one of those queens neighborhoods that was hit particularly hard by last weeks flash flooding. There are multiple residents here in queens that have told me they are certainly hoping that the federal government will come through with some kind of financial Assistance Package that would help them rebuild or in some cases simply repair what they lost during that flash flooding. New York Governor Kathy Hochul called on the biden administration to expedite the financial assistance not just for local governments but also for New Yorkers as well. Those who have been struggling to rebuild. In fact, over the weekend, she actually toured some of these neighborhoods and saw firsthand what many of those neighbors are having to deal with now. The governor signing this new Disaster Declaration with the president s approval. It would potentially lead the way to some kind of individual assistance that some of these folks would need to replace some of what they lost. We did spend some time hearing from some of these folks who said they are worried this help may not come. This is barbara martinez, who turned to a local center here where the city is offering some support. But she says thats still not enough. She needs more. I came by here today because i thought i might be able to get assistance. My hot Water Heater is shot. I cant get a plumber. My boiler also gone, and all weve been told with everyone thats here today is call 311 and file a complaint, which i did, and it was closed down. I dont know what to do. We need financial assistance. We need to get back on our feet. Reporter also over the weekend, the nypd also releasing some very dramatic video that was actually taken on wednesday during the height of the storm. In it, you can see officers desperately trying to reach an area that had been submerged underwater. This was one of those basement, Cellar Apartments that the city is taking a closer look at. In this particular case, first responders having to pull back until they could actually pump the water out of that out of that living space. Unfortunately once they got in there, they recovered three bodies, that of a 2yearold Toddler and his parents. Polo sandoval, cnn, new york.

His location is unclear but a widely circulated video shows him surrounded by soldiers. Cnn cannot independently verify the authenticity of this video. Now, the military announced a nationwide curfew, the closing of Land And Air borders, and that the president is unharmed. The 83yearold won a disputed third term last year after he changed the constitution to allow it. The senior associate for africa at the national Democratic Institute For International Affairs joins us now from washington. Sir, hi. Good to see you. Tell us what do we know . What happened in guinea . Well, thank you, robyn, for having me. I should say what were seeing in guinea, what happened in guinea this weekend is a very classic Coup Detat where units of the Military Move against a leader, a civilian leader that came into office through an electoral process. But also as weve seen many such countries that are prone to coups, the military really took advantage of the fact the president s legitimacy was becoming questionable around controversies with regards to the constitution, which explains why some people were in the Street Jub Lating after president Alpha Conde fell from office. There certainly is video of people seeming happy. What sparked it in many ways . Was this a long time coming, or do you feel that the military and particularly these were Special Forces that seemed to take every. Firstly, i should explain the uniqueness of Special Forces in the sense that in the past decade, many african countries, guinea and a number of other african countries, have created Special Forces to deal with new threats of terrorism that many african countries face. And these are units that are more agile, better trained, and most of the time better equipped than most of the other military units. So when they moved on the president s office, it was a big chance they wouldnt get a lot of resistance from other infantry units. I should also say that since 2020, the controversies around the president ial elections and the constitutional referendum have taken away a lot of the president s legitimacy, so much so that the collapse of his Government Today comes as no surprise to many guineans, and many watchers of guinean politics. What, then, is the regional implication of this coup, especially for security in the region . You mentioned terrorism is a real concern. What are the shortterm and mediumterm issues here when it comes to security for the region after this . Sure. I think that anytime that a civilian government is overthrown by the military, it poses threats of insecurity and further instability. But we also have to keep in mind that this is the third coup in the Sub Region in just 2021. Coming after chad where the military also intervened, coming after mali where the military staged a second coup and overthrew an acting Head Of State for the transition. Now we have guinea. So prodemocracy forces across the entire subregion are wondering what the african itself, which has a charter against coups, to make sure that democracy can return and the people of guinea, who in their vast majority are prepared to be governed democratically can actually have their rights and liberties respected. When we look at the national implications of this, the west has been critical of this government even before the coup. We know that the president , President Conde, had reached out towards russia and china. What do we know, then, about the alliances being built by the selfdeclared new Coup Leader . I would say most of those alliances were alliances of convenience. I know many western governments probably wouldnt say this for publicly. For many of them, it would be good riddance because they were extremely critical of the constitutional process that allowed President Conde to get another fiveyear term. And also many of them were beginning to question his democratic credentials. At the same time, russia and china, that were very friendly to the government, have taken a stance of not intervening in the internal or domestic affairs of guinea, and it would be extremely difficult now, having taken that stand while President Conde was in office, to then come back when the military has overthrown him and say, you know, we want to have him reinstated. So i think the next few months are going to be extremely important, but i dont see alliances lining up in a way that can allow Alpha Conde to return to power. So what are you going to watch for in the coming hours, in the coming days . I think we should keep our eyes on subregional organization. We should keep our eyes on the African Union because theres an Emergency Meeting that has been called of the Peace And Security council of the African Union, probably by early next week. It will be important to see whether the African Union puts a premium on the government returning to power or puts more emphasis on an inclusive transition that can allow guinea to return to democratic governance without the current government. Thank you very much. Thanks for joining us and sharing your expertise and analysis. Appreciate it. Many thanks. Thank you for having me. Now, much of the u. S. Is struggling to get the recent surge of new coronavirus cases under control. And as you can see here on this map, many states are seeing spikes driven by the highly transmissible Delta Variant. As the debate about the rollout of Booster Shots continues, the idea is certainly gaining traction with u. S. Health officials thanks to the data were getting from israel. Infectious Disease Expert Dr. Anthony fauci spoke to Jim Acosta On Sunday about what the information reveals. So their data clearly show that we are going in the right direction of where we need to go with regard to boosters. But importantly, their data also show that when you give those boosters, you reconstitute to an even higher level than before the protection against both infection and hospitalization. And as americans more americans suffer through covid, attitudes are slowly changing about the general risk of catching the virus. Na Natasha Chen has more now on how dire the situation has become. Natasha. Reporter the u. S. Is experiencing covid19 trends in the wrong direction with cases, deaths, and hospitalizations going upward. This labor day weekend, the sevenday average of new cases per 100,000 residents is up by about 300 compared to this Holiday Weekend last year. The sevenday average of new deaths has increased greatly over the last week, and daily hospitalizations are topping 100,000. Thats after hospitalizations tripled in july, then doubled again in august according to Health And Human Services data. A Washington Post Abc News Poll shows 47 of adults in the u. S. Feel they have a moderate or high risk of getting sick. Thats a higher percentage of concerned adults compared to a june survey. The situation is so dire in kentucky that the governor has called a Special Session of its State Legislature to handle covid19 issues. And in central california, the san joaquin Valley Area on friday had fewer than 10 of staffed icu beds remaining available for three consecutive days. Farther north in the state, about 100 doctors from the Humboldt Del Norte County Medical Society signed a letter written to its own community saying, in part, please get vaccinated. We ask this from the bottom of our hearts as your physicians and as the people with whom you have worked, played, laughed and cried. We must admit we are tired. We will keep working, of course, but we are tired. We are tired of the suffering, pain, and death that can be avoided by getting vaccinated. Meanwhile, the biden administration said it is prepared to roll out the Booster Vaccines by September 20th though that is pending the Approval And Guidance of the Cdc And Fda. Back to you. Thanks so much, Natasha Chen there. Israel is also set to present data from its Booster Rollout to the fda later on this month. The country was one of the first to begin offering a third dose of the vaccine early last month. Officials say the Booster Shots have certainly helped slow a rise in severe illness caused by the Delta Variant as natasha was saying. On saturday, israel reported its lowest daily Case Count in three weeks. The countrys Covid Czar also says another round of Booster Shots could be coming soon. So youre watching cnn.

So the tokyo paralympics have now wrapped up, and they ended with a colorful celebration despite the ongoing pandemic. Sundays Closing Ceremony included singing, dancing, and the parade of nations, and took place in a nearempty stadium without spectators due to the coronavirus pandemic. While japan found some success in containing the virus during the paralympics, but the Delta Variant is Sill Dtill Driving N infections. Blake, lovely to see you. I understand that you went to the Closing Ceremony. Talk us through what it was like and what the experience meant. Reporter yeah. You know, robyn, an Kpibl Expe incredible experience to be inside that 68,000 Seat Stadium essentially all alone. The Closing Ceremony was held bringing an end to an olympic and Paralympic Games like no other, mainly without spectators, which is just absolutely surreal. That has been the case throughout these games. Last nights closing ceremonies took place inside that nearly empty stadium. While i was inside, the people that should have been there, the people of japan, werent. Translator i really hope there will never have to be a Summer Games like this again where People Cant attend in person due to a pandemic. I think these games would have been even better and safer if there were no pandemic, but nobody could have seen that coming. Reporter while i was lucky enough to be one of the few people inside the 68,000Seat Stadium, like every event i attended throughout these games, it was a surreal experience to sit inside the stadium seemingly all alone and watch the celebration of sport was really strange but also exciting at the same time. There was singing, dancing, as you mentioned, a very colorful, festivallike atmosphere, of course. There was also a parade of nations that included two afghan athlete whos were originally unable to Reach Tokyo following the talibans takeover. But organizers say with the help of individuals, organizations and governments from around the world, the pair were evacuated from kabul and arrived here just in time to compete. It was definitely a really nice moment to see them proudly carrying their countrys flags, knowing, robyn, knowing what theyve been through to be here. Certainly just one of the many moments that were special throughout these games. Lets just talk about what the covid situation is like there in japan. Its still really bad, and certainly real concerns about the impact the olympics has had on the infection rate. Reporter yeah, absolutely. Look, inside the olympic and paralympic bubble, the covid19 countermeasures put in place by organizers did seem to prove largely successful. The daily Case Count remained low. But outside of the bubble, cases in tokyo and around japan skyrocketed. A State Of Emergency remains in place for roughly 80 of the Country And Health care professionals say that the medical system has collapsed. Theres about 200,000 people right now recovering at home who have covid19. Tens of thousands require medical care but are unable to receive it. And some people are dying at home, and medical professionals say that even though the olympics didnt directly impact the number of cases, there was an absolute indirect effect with the number of people that came out to attend events, take pictures outside of stadiums and whatnot. So whether or not, you know, the impact of these games on the covid19 numbers is still to be determined, merdical pro professionals say theres no question it had an impact. There was fierce opposition felt by a majority of the people, but prime Minister Yoshihide Suga pushed ahead against his Health Care advisers advice. And really according to people that cnn has talked to, political experts, it is likely the reason why the prime minister is no longer seeking reelection when his term comes to a close here at The End of the month. Okay. Blake essig there. Thanks so much. Great reporting over the past few weeks there on the olympics. There is some news in just to cnn. The taliban spokesperson is now claiming fighters have, quote, completely conquered the Panjshir Province in northern afghanistan. But that claim is being denied by the national Resistance Front. They told Cnn Resistance forces are still in strategic positions across the valley and are continuing to fight. The two sides have been battling over the last holdout province, and well continue to monitor that on cnn.

The crackdown came just one day after the group left Southern Mexico. Cnns Rafael Romo now reports some families with young children were among those caught up in the chaos. Reporter theres been tensions between immigrants and mexican immigration authorities for weeks. This latest caravan was coming from tapachula, a city across the guatemalan border and was traveling through the state of tiapas when they were stopped. Let me show you what happened during an operation with the goal of stopping the immigrants. This was the situation that unfolded Sunday Morning where the migrants had spent the night. The mexican National Guard in full Riot Gear tried to stop the immigrants. Some of them were traveling in Family Units were small children. There were several tense moments including one when authorities tried to stop a mother with her child in her arms. There was a similar incident moments later when a father claimed authorities were trying to separate him from his young daughter. Lets take a look. Lett me translate what he said. Leave me alone he said repeatedly. Im not leaving without my daughter. He later told the members of the National Guard, youre parents too. Have a heart. Cnn tried to reach both the National Guard and the national Migration Institute for comment, but there was no answer. There were no public statements either. Last week the mexican Migration Institute issued a statement saying it was not going to allow any type of abuse against immigrants or journalists covering the story. Mexican president andres Manuel Lope Lopez obrador said his country is working to hold back the migratory flow as much as it can and is in communication with the u. S. Government to come up with solutions to address this challenge. This latest group of about 500 immigrants was composed of people from haiti, venezuela, and Central America.

President Joe Biden has a lot on his plate in the coming month. The president and the first Lady Plan to visit all three September 11 attack sites around the country on saturday. It comes as mr. Biden faces intense scrutiny for a chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan. Meantime, the White House says it will wait for full Cdc And Fda approval before covid Booster Shots are available to the public. An initial announcement had said those shots would be available by September 20th. And the president is also blaming the new surge in covid cases for the disappointing jobs numbers. Theres no question the Delta Variant is why Todays Job Report isnt stronger. I know people were looking, and i was hoping for a higher number. Well, mr. Biden also visited louisiana to see the damage left by Hurricane Ida and pledged up to 100 Million in direct assistance to the state. For more on whats ahead in the coming week for the u. S. President , i want to bring in my next guest, michael genovese, president global Policy Institute at loyola marymount university. The White House focusing on the 20year anniversary of the 9 11 attacks. How critical is the president s messaging ahead of this somber anniversary . 9 11 has been the defining event for the united states for the past 20 years. Its hijacked our Foreign Policy. Weve reshaped our Foreign Policy in the wake of the attack, and weve violated our own values. He needs to say that from this point on, were going to reconnect with our values. Were going to behave like a real superpower. Were not going to be distracted by the small, shiny objects. We need to reclaim the Rule Of Law and democracy, and we need to get rid of Gaun Ta mow and all of this kind of paraphernalia that was built up with democrats and republicans over the last 20 years. We have not comported ourselves in this war very well, and Joe Biden has a chance to basically push a restart button. Well, he sees afghanistan and leaving afghanistan as one of those issues. Its been three weeks since kabul fell. Whats the political fallout from that pretty chaotic withdrawal . Well, i think there are three truisms that apply here, and i think theres very little that one could doubt about these three things. The first is that we lost afghanistan a long time before Joe Biden became president. Second, whoever was president when we pulled out of afghanistan, there was going to be chaos. But the third thing and this is right on Bidens Lap is that they handled it very poorly, and that was a surprise. These are experienced hands. Joe bidens the grownup. We all thought they would know what they were doing, that they were going to have a plan. Everything seemed to collapse around him. There obviously will be some fallout. Its early. Its not yet an albatross around his neck. But if theres a domino effect, if this is one of a series of negative stories, it could have a tremendous impact in bringing the biden administration to its knees. Lets talk about domestic issues. The Texas Abortion Ruling has certainly put that Issue Front and center on the domestic political landscape and the future of womens rights in the u. S. In the midst of these culture wars. Where does the president how does he navigate this . With great difficulty. This is a hot potato. The Supreme Court would be better off leaving it where it is because what youre going to do is stir up a Hornets Nest. 50 years of roe v. Wade, and that may not be the ideal situation, but it is the law of the land, and weve been doing it for 50 years. To overturn it, which is what a lot of people want to do and what it seems like a majority of the conservatives on the Supreme Court want to do, is going to open a political Hornets Nest that will just reinvigorate all of the cultural divisions, all of the hyperpartisanship, and it will animate behavior by both the right and the left that Will Reconfigure the way we practice politics going into the midterms. Im not sure who this helps more, the democrats or the republicans. I think it hurts both sides. The president s Approval Rating last time i checked was about 43 . What does that mean . Its pretty low for this president. What is it indicating and where is he taking hits . Is it covid . Is it afghanistan . Is it Hurricane Ida . Where are we in terms of the way americans are viewing him . The answer is yes to all of the things you mentioned. The president is held responsible for everything including the weather. But polling is a snapshot. Its a snapshot of today. And polling results are a function of events, events that people see and can feel. And its been a bad run for president biden. The Pullout Events that people can see and feel. And it has been a bad run for president biden. The pullout in afghanistan was botched. Covid has been untamed and it continues to increase even though we know we have the vaccine that can end this problem. The economy is starting to slip a little bit. So the question for biden is, at what point does the Narrative Change from biden is a pretty good guy doing a pretty good job to the job is too big for him. If the narrative does change, it could be cemented in the heads of people and it will be hard to change that. He inherited a mess. Towed clean up after donald trump. At some point, and some point fairly soon, those problems that he inherited wont be trumps. Theyll be bidens. When he has to take ownership of them, thats when people will look with a hard view and say is he up to the job . Right now his polling is in the low 40 range. It wont be stuck there. It could go up or down. It will be eventsbased. Always good to speak to you. Thank you. It has been a week since Hurricane Ida decimated parts of louisiana. Power outages still widespread and it could be weeks, weeks before electricity is restored. Meanwhile, residents face another day of scorching temperatures. The report now from hard hit kenya. Reporter Hundreds Of Thousands without power more than a week after the storm and no power means no Air Conditioning and what has become a hot, sweltering moment for the state of louisiana. Specially down here in kenner. Take a look behind me. This is what The Street looks like in this neighborhood. This Power Line down. This power pole, another one, another one, and it just keeps going on and on down The Street. The neighbors say they felt barricaded inside their homes, trapped inside. They had to get in their cars and drive across their Neighbors Lawn just to get out of neighborhood. One woman tells me there is a bit of a Silver Lining when it comes the this storm and it regards her mother. My mom, thank god, i say thank god, she passed from Covid In March of 2020. So im just thankful that she was not here to witness any of this. She would have been so miserable right now. She really would have. Im so sorry to hear about your mother.

In the meantime, we are monitoring the seasons third major cyclone in the atlantic. Hurricane larry is currently a category 3 storm making its way across open waters toward bermuda. I check in with Tile Order this. Talk us through what youre seeing there on your satellite images. On the satellite image, Hurricane Larry is a very nice symmetrical looking hurricane. You can see the eye, the spin and just how perfectly, how nice of a circle it is. All right . So it is a healthy major hurricane. 125mileperhour winds right now. It is only about five miles per hour from becoming a category 4. So certainly possible if we see it strengthen a little bit more, then it could become a category 4 over the next 24 hours. The national Hurricane Center has it heading toward bermuda. That doesnt mean that Bermuda Wont see any impact. Well see some gusty winds, some tropical storm time winds. Eventually it bypasses Nova Scotia and it pushes to the Northern Atlantic where it eventually falls apart. So the u. S. Isnt going to feel the direct impact from larry. Thats good news. We will see swells and Rip Currents push down to the south across the entire East Coast of the u. S. Specially wednesday into the weekend. The Hurricane Season is right around the corner on september 10th. So well see more in the way of named storms over the coming days and weeks and months. During the month of september, the entire Atlantic Basin is fair game to see development. The next named system would be mindy. Could we see mindy develop over the next five days . It is possible. The national Hurricane Center is saying this area of disturbed Weather Right over Central America will push to the north and it could wrap up into something eventually impacting the peninsula of florida.

The Caldor Fire has burned nearly 250,000 acres and is 43 contained. And finally, the oldest single Malt Scotch Whiskey in the world is set to go on auction and connoisseurs better have their checkbooks ready. It comes in a jewellike dekanter and it could sell for more than 220,000. So its about judging the moment when the whiskey is absolutely right. It is just drinking at its peak. And it was deemed having studied it up to now, now is the moment the strength was great, the flavors are incredible. It has a beautiful balance between the contributions from the oak but still with that original character. So this was the very moment.
