Dose to get into arms. And Denmark Lifting restrictions as it declares victory over coronavirus. How did they do it . Vaccinations. Great to have you along with me this hour. Were certainly following new developments out of fags where the taliban are flaming to the have, to have completely captured panjshir. That claim is being denied by the national resist front. They are still in strategic positions across the valley and are continuing to fight. I want to head straight to kabul where our reporter is standing by. Good to speak to you. What more do we know about the situation there . We know the taliban released a statement about 90 minutes ago saying they have claimed complete control. They said the valley where theyve been trying to invade for five days now, they said theyve been completely conquered. That is contested by the Opposition Forces. The Opposition Forces say they are still have some strategic positions and they say theyre also controlling several side valleys. We know that the Opposition Forces are in trouble. They are in difficulty. And last night, they released a Statement Calling for a cease fire, and calling for the resumption of Peace Talks with the taliban. And what also, were also monitoring another developing story. The flights have opened up from kabul airport. Give us an indication. Significance of this and who is flying in and out . The airport has resumed flights to domestic destinations. There are flights to the cities of kandahar. There are also aid flights coming in which is crucial because the country faces a terrible humanitarian crisis. There are no commercial international flights coming in. The difficulty with those flights is damage to the airports and a lack of personnel, Air Traffic personnel. At the moment there is no radar approaching which means that it is almost impossible for flights, commercial flights to come in. But it is a priority for the international community and indeed for the taliban to get that airport back up running. And were expecting strenuous efforts to be made to try to get it running in the coming days. Youre there on the ground in kabul. Can you give us a sense of what it is like at the moment . Particularly for women. We understand the taliban has indeed started to crack down on womens rights where you are. I have to say it is very strange meeting in the city. Much quieter than i am used to. And it feels slightly tense. There are signs of returning to normality but it is not there yet. One of those are not back to normal was indeed, what you mentioned, there are very few women on The Streets. I talked to lots of professional women and a lot of them are staying home. They dont know how theyll be treated on The Streets. Theyre preferring to stay home until things are clearer. Ben farmer live in kabul. Thank you very much for your reporting. Really appreciate it. So nearly a week after that last u. S. Flight left kabul, there are concerns about just how many americans are still trying to get out of the country. The white House Chief of staff says they believe their around 100 still in the country. Take a listen. Were going to find ways to get them, the ones that want to leave, to get them out of afghanistan. We know many of them have family members. Many want to stay. The ones that want to leave, well get them out. And the massive Air Lift from kabul that helped evacuate thousands of people. They are vowing to get more who want out, out of the country. Those claims coming after some say the taliban are vaefing some u. S. Citizens and allies from flying out of afghanistan. Suzanne has the details. Alarmist language, a dire warning from a top republican congressman from the house foreign affairs committee, saying that american citizens are on the ground being held by the taliban, and that they are not able to get on these flights. Theyre in a desperate situation, saying hes getting this information from classified briefings and he is describing it as something similar to a near hostage situation. We had six airplanes at the airport. Six planes with american citizens on them as i speak. Also with these interpreters and the taliban is holding them hostage for demands right now. We have stayed as cleared with these flights and the taliban will not let them leave the airport. Because of the specific name of the claims, cnn has reached out to various Government Agencies the help amplify, clarify or even confirm what he is saying here. And while the State Department says it cannot confirm 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 further Charter And Passage out of afghanistan. However, we do not have Air Assets in the country. We do not control the Air Space over afghanistan or elsewhere in the region. Given these constraints. We donal have a reliable means to confirm the basic means of Charter Flights including who may be organizing them, the number of u. S. Citizens and other priority groups on board. Cnn has reached out. Many of these groups trying to get american citizens out of kabul, out of the airport. They say yes, there are some being held there. That the taliban is not allowing for these planes to leave. The spokesperson from the State Department, however, reiterating that they will hold the taliban accountable to the commitment they made to american citizens as well as allies, will be able to leave the country freely. Of course, all right now is very uncertain. Cnn at the capitol. We are getting a new look at the desperate efforts to rescue people from the remnants of Hurricane Ida. I want to show you this new York Police officer wading into chest Deep Water to investigate a report of people inside a flooded basement. With stuffed animals and toys in filthy water, the officers were dealing with blocked doors. It is difficult to watch. The firefighters brought in specialized equipment and discovered the bodies of three people. All of them had drowned. Meanwhile the who lou, there are still widespread Power Outages amidst scorching temperatures in the wake of Hurricane Ida.

Is struggling to get the recent surge of new coronavirus cases under control. As you can see from this map here, many, many states are still seeing spikes driven by the Delta Variant. As the rollout continues, it is getting attention from health officials. The infectious Disease Expert spoke about the boosters and why they are so important. We need the boost because ultimately, it may turn out that the ultimate proper immunization regimen is a threedose regimen. Remember, we made it a twodose regimen. We were dealing with a twodose version. We needed to get the vaccines out because they were life saving. What were observing now not only in the United States but other countries including israel and the u. K. , that the durability of the protection tends to waenl. Particularly in the context of the Delta Variant. So we are just a couple weeks away from the White Houses initial proposed rollout of those Booster Shots. A large group of fully Vaetd Americans may have to wait a little longer before they roll up their sleeves. Reporter the White House insist Noes Booster shots will be approved without the cdc. Theyve been targeting a September 20th time frame for rolling out the shots. That plan may now need to be limited as officials are saying they dont have enough data relating to the moderna vaccine. Approval for the Pfizer Vaccine for the Booster Shot does appear to be in Progress And Proceeding as planned. It is moderna that may need to take a few more weeks to receive approval. The white House Chief of Staff Ron Clain insisted this is all guided by the science, even as he now would not put a time frame for when the Booster Shots would go out. Did he get ahead of that science for setting that specific date for booster before the data was in . Women we would be ready by the 20th which was the projection from the Interest Science Team as to when the fda would clear the boosters. I work absolutely clear. No one will get boosters until the fda says theyre approved, until the Cdc Advisory Committee makes a recommendation. How will you make that decision . Will you 100 follow the science . 100 . While five may be ready for that September 20th time frail, the Moderna Shot may take a few weeks later. And officials have said they are still studying whether you can possibly mix and match these Booster Shot vaccines. Someone who received moderna might be able to receive pfizer as their Booster Shot. But those studies are still a few weeks away from being completed. This all comes as theres a real sense of urgency within the biden administration as the other variants of covid19 are taking hold. As well as a high Transmission Case Rate throughout the country. President biden is also expected to speak about his Covid19 Response later in the week as they are trying to get a handle not just on containing the virus but getting the booster out. Traveling with the president in wilmington, delaware. Thank you. The fda is set to receive a briefing from israel about its Vaccine Rollout later this month. The country was one of the first to begin offering a third dose last month. The Booster Shots have certainly helped slow the rise of severe illness caused by the variant on. Saturday, israel revealed its lowest daily Case Count in three weeks and the countrys Covid Czar said another round of Booster Shots could be coming soon. And denmark will soon be lifting all covid restrictions. 80 of the Population Age 12 and older is fully vaccinate. Starting september 10, there will be no mask mandate, covid passports or limits on republican gatherings. Here to discuss, the professor from the university in denmark. Hi. Good to see you. So denmark declaring covid under control. Is this just all about vaccines . How did you do it . Yeah, yeah, i think it is driven by the high compliance with the vaccination program. Thats the main reason we have so few cases so a low number of deaths in the country. And why, why, why will there be no Mask Mates . Any sort of restrekss . Is there not the thought that it will create the opportunity for a resurgence . Actually, the Mask Requirement has not been in place for quite some time and that has not led to a high number of cases. The key word from the danes perspective, we are trying to coexist with the virus. We all know that it wont go away. With this high compliance with the vaccination program, we think this is the right time to see how it works, if you like, without any restrictions. What are the lessons other countries can learn from denmark here . I think first of all, it is very difficult to translate one to one between countries. I think what people should look at, what happens basically, i guess, many people would have a worst Case Scenario thinking this will go very wrong. I think we are going to learn if denmark that we are able to keep this under control and we will not see a High Rise in death and other important thing is that in denmark, the focus is not on the number of cases. Now they may be among the younger ones. Maybe on the number of hospitalized and on that parameter, denmark is doing really well. We are reporting obviously that israel is talking about Booster Shots and perhaps even another Booster Shot. The u. S. Preparing to roll out Booster Shots. A lot of reporting on breakthrough infections. Where does denmark stand on that . So we are also offering a third jab now to a specific group, the elderly and specific patient groups. And i think thats a key part of our strategy. Obviously, we are approaching winter here in denmark and immunity may wane. So part of our, i mean, lifting of the restriction is that we will offer a third jab to specific patient groups. Are you concerned about new variants . Globally speaking but obviously, changing the plans, do you feel like variants could threaten what appears to be a situation under control right now . I think no one can exclude that. And the danish politicians have kicked the door open that if it changes, they will change the regulations. As for now, im not too concerned. We have seen variants but not really any variants which significantly can evade immune. And what are danes saying about this . I think the danes are happy with the situation. And i see very few people actually being concerned, which of course would be the case. Since there is such a low number of cases over the summer, i think people are happy to go back to normal life. So i really appreciate you joining us live. Thank you. Some mexican students began heading back to class last week despite a surge in covid cases there. The government had promised the return would be safe but many parents arent so sure. Rafael romo reports from mexico city.

There is political upheaval in the West African nation of guinea after an adviser to the president confirmed his arrest in apparent coup. As you can see here, hundreds of people celebrating in The Streets of the capital on sunday. Translator is joy is at its maximum, my brother. Look around. The people are free. The president s location is unclear but he can be seen in a video posted on Social Media. Cnn cannot independently verify its authenticity. I want to go straight to johannesburg. More on the implications of this coup and what it means. Reporter thats right. Early in the morning on sunday in the capital, you have those dramatic scenes unfolding. Mostly in the District Wherele of the government buildings and the president ial palace are held. Heavy light Arms Fire and heavy arms and then that you have extraordinary video showing the president , 83yearold alpha conde. He looks dazed and confused. The leaders of the apparently kroop the special forces, it seemed. The former french foreign l legionaire, and trained by the u. S. In previous years. Not that theres any connection there specifically. But while you saw those cheering crowds on The Streets, it is a very tense time. Though relatively calm. This nation has had a disputed election last year which conde run. He is accused of corruption, particularly in the mining sector. The regional powers condemning it for what it is, a forcible transfer of power. Lets talk about what happens next. How countries, particularly in the region, are reacting and the implications for security. Well, i think the key body to look at now is the West African regional bloc. They have been in the past, quite forthright and aggressive dealing with transfers of power. There have been a cascade of Kul Coups that provides a real test for them. They are asking for the Return To, quote, constitutional order. What happens next on the ground. This group of soldiers that appear to have taken over the country at this stage put out a pretty ominous call saying that all Government Officials and politicians are required. They called it invited to a meeting to happen in the coming hours as they exert their power. Thank you for that update there. Appreciate it. So after leaving the u. S.

The Policy Targeted People suspected of being spies for the chinese military. Now those students are warning, it may drive a bigger wedge between the two countries. David culver reports. Reporter heightened tensions between the u. S. And china striking at higher education, focusing on Graduate And Post grad students in the u. S. Their academic futures left in limbo. Denial it is is one of them. He flew to shanghai in January 2020 along with his Friend And Lab mate matthew. Who aimed to renew his visa and introduce him to his family and chinese culture. But they were returned to the u. S. , hu was delayed going back to boston. First by the outbreak. Several attempts to return failed. Then came a new policy under president trump. First, i think it is based on nationality. Reporter he was referring to proclamation 10043. In May 2020 trump blocked chinese Graduate Students and Post Grad researchers that came mostly from eight chinese universities with suspected military ties. The policy singled out those studying in stem fields, science, technology, engineering and math, framed as part of national security. There is certainly espionage that goes on in u. S. Universities from china. There have been cases in the past where students have been used for espionage purposes. This policy, though, is very sweeping. Very arbitrary. It is estimated there were sms 5,000 students kept from reentering the u. S. In response to cnn, the u. S. State department said in part the United States welcomed international students and stated the policy is intentionally narrowly targeted. Affecting less than 2 of those applying for the Student And Exchange visitor visas. Stressing the proclamation is sbe intended to protect the u. S. National security interests. Some experts fear the policy could worsen u. S. China relations for years to come. This has been really alienating to a lot of chinese who are pre disposed to be amiable to the United States in the first place. Students like hu now desperate to Return To the u. S. His research focuses on using Social Media data to assess bias in the public domain. I definitely dont get the impression that his research is a military sensitive thing. I also dont get impression he is a person trying to sneak it in or anything. It just hurt me with those accusations. Reporter it is concerning for chinese officials to raise the issue of Student Visa restrictions in recent high level talks with their u. S. Counter parts, calling it unfair treatment. But in the u. S. , there are american Graduate Students likewise kept from reentering china. I was essentially meant to graduate this year. Reporter he and his brother lived in shanghai until the outbreak. The medical student thought it would be a Broef Hiatus and then he would be back to finish his sixth and final year. Instead, the brothers are left waiting in their l. A. Area home. We want to return. We are proactive. We want to abide by the guidelines. We need guidelines to abide by. Reporter china keeping most international students including americans from returning based on covid19 restrictions. But khan thinks theres more to it. I think having that american passport is making it difficult because of the political conflict between the u. S. And china. I feel like we may be caught in the cross fires. Reporter back in china, hu is pushing to raise funds to launch a lawsuit against the u. S. Government. Im trying my best to be positive. Even the reality might not always be good.

Im robyn curnow. Lets talk about u. S. Politics now. The president , Joe Biden, has a lot on his plate. The president and First Lady planned to visit all three September 11 attack sites around the country on saturday. It comes as mr. Biden faces intense scrutiny for that 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 the shots would be available by the 20th of september. 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 jobs report isnt stronger. I know people were hook and i was hoping for a higher number. Biden also 50sed louisiana. He 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, a political Analyst And President of the global Policy Institute at loyola marymound university. A long ahead for the week. 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 . Well, you know, 9 11 has been the defining event for the United States for the past 20 years. It has hijacked our Foreign Policy. Weve reshape our Foreign Policy in the Peick Wake of the attack. He needs to say from this point on well reconnect with our values. We wont be distracted by the small shiny objects. We need to reclaim the Rule Of Law in democracy and we need to get rid of Gauuantanamo And Allf this over the last 20 years. Weve not comported ourselves in this war very well. And Joe Biden has a chance to push a restart button. He sees afghanistan and leaving afghanistan as one of the issues. It has been three weeks since kabul fell. What is the political fallout from that pretty chaotic withdrawal . I think there are three truisms that apply here. And theres very little one could doubt about these. First we lost Joe Biden a long time before Joe Biden became president. Second, whoever was president when we pulled out of afghanistan, there would be chaos. And the third thing, and this is right on bidens lamb, they handled it very poorly. That was a surprise. These are experienced hands. We all thought they would know what they were doing. They would have a plan. Everything seemed to collapse around them so there will be some fallout. It is early. It is not yet an balalbatross around his neck. Lets talk about the domestic issues, the Texas Abortion Issue and the womens rights 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. You will stir up a Hornets Nest. 50 years of roe v. Wade. That may not be ideal but it is the latest land. To overturn it, which is what a lot of people want to do and it seems like a majority of the conservatives on the Supreme Court want to do, it will open up a Hornets Nest and it will reinvigorate the divisions and the Hyper Partisanship and animate both the left and the right that Will Reconfigure the way we practice politics going into the midterms. Im not sure who this helps more. The republicans or the democrats. I think it hurts both sides. The president s approval rating, last time i checked, was about 43 . What does that mean . It is pretty low for this president. What is it indicating . And where yes to all the things you mentioned. The president is held responsible for everything, including the weather. Polling as snapshot of today, and polling results are a function of events, events that people see and can feel. Its 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 that 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 bidens a pretty good guy doing a pretty good job, to, The Jobs too big for him . If the narrative does change, it could be very well cemented in the heads of people, and its going to be hard to change that. He inherited a mess, he had to clean up the stables left by donald trump. At some point, at some point fairly soon, those problems he inherited wont be trumps, theyll be bidens. When he has to take ownership of them, thats when people will start looking with a hard view and say, is he up to The Job . Polling low 40 range, it could go up, it could go down, it will be events based. Always good to speak to you, thanks so much for joining us. Thank you. When the remnants of Hurricane Ida swept through the northeast u. S. Last week, the devastation left behind was catastrophic. Polo sandoval is in New York following the pace of recovery in one of the hardesthit areas. Reporter were in one of those queens neighborhoods that was hit particularly hard by last weeks flash flooding. There are multiple residents in queens that have told me theyre hoping the federal government will come through with some kind of financial Assistance Package that would help them rebuild, 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 kind of sishl assistance, not just for local governments but for New Yorkers as well, those who have been struggling to rebuild. 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 potentially leading the way to and kind of individual assistance. Some of these folks would need to replace some of what they lost. We did spend 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. 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, cant get a plumber. My boiler also gone. And all weve been told with everyone thats here today is, call 311, 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, nypd 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 living space. Once they got in there, unfortunately they recovered three bodies, a 2yearold Toddler and his parents. Palo sandoval, cnn, New York. Louisiana is also, as you know, dealing with the aftermath of this hurricane. Jefferson parish in particular has suffered.
