Correspondent and Cnn International diplomatic editor. Alex, you first. These documents are heavily redacted. But they do tell us something. What . They do. We should note this was released late Saturday Night after the events commemorating the anniversary of 9 11. And as you mentioned, this is the first part of what we expect to be a series of documents to be declassified following the president s order. This was a 16page heavily redacted report from the fbi, and what it is is a summary of an interview that the fbi did with a Saudi Citizen in 2015. This report coming out in 2016, and classified until now. What it does is summarizes this interview with a saudi who worked at the Saudi Consulate in Los Angeles. He is not named in this report. He was applying for u. S. Citizenship, and he had contact, the fbi says, with people who they themselves had contact with two of the 9 11 hijackers. You can see on your screen the name. He was ostensibly a student in Los Angeles. He was believed to be a saudi Intelligence Official who did have contact with two of these 9 11 hijackers. Two of the 19 hijackers, and according to the fbi, he provided travel assistance, Lodging And Financing to these two hijackers. Kn now, we have heard from the families of 9 11. They said in part in a statement, this puts to bed any doubts about Saudi Complicity in the attacks, but we should say that this does not provide any more evidence of, say, senior level government support, royal Family Support for the activities of the hijackers. What this does is provides a line from a consular official to people who had been in contact with two of the hijackers. And then, nick, what kind of response is coming from the saudi government . Yeah. The saudi Foreign Minister was holding a Press Conference in saudi today. Was asked precisely this question. Whats your reaction to these this new fbi release. He said look, this is something that Saudi Arabia has been asking for for over a decade. Its something that we want to come out. He said we want it, because we believe that there is no connection. He says there is no connection between the saudi government and the hijackers. Theyve been wanting this to come out. From his point from the Saudi Point of view, he said we agree that we need to work together on counterterrorism issues going forward. That Saudi Arabia needs to partner with western intelligence agencies to help everyone, to help the saudis and western intelligence agencies including the united states. So they from the saudi side, even before the report was released, the embassy in washington said we want it to come out. Were happy for it to come out. The Foreign Minister now after being able to know whats in it has said yes, we want this out. They seem to be happy that more details are getting out. And so i wonder, nick, while the saudis are welcoming the release of these documents, are they welcoming that more information should come out, too, that even perhaps the portions that have been redacted, perhaps, that would be lifted. You know, i think what the saudis fundamentally believe, and you get an idea from the Foreign Minister saying we need to work on counterterrorism together going forward. I was in kabul when the cia was working with the saudi intelligence services and pakistani intelligence services to beef up the islamic warriors, if you will, in afghanistan, back in the 80s to fight the soviets. The groups like Al Qaeda got their roots. The whole idea of holy warriors and jihad grew out of that. For the saudis, that was something they could push and they had a religious background to push it. We know to this day there are religious zealots in Saudi Arabia who still adhere to Al Qaedas beliefs. One of them attacked soldiers in pensacola, florida in the past couple years. That threat is still active in Saudi Arabia, but its actually a threat to the monarchy in Saudi Arabia. Al qaeda hates the monarchy of Saudi Arabia. Its in the Monarchys Interest in Saudi Arabia to fight the interests. When we hear from the foreign Minister And Ambassador saying we support the full release of the report, we want to work together on counterterrorism, they have skin in the game. Its in their interest to keep Al Qaeda and that threat down. For them especially. All right. Well leave it right there for you. Thank you both so much. Lets talk about how close this comes to some of the Family Members of the victims of 9 11. Joining us, Terry Strata J The National chair of 9 11 families. Her husband, tom, was killed in the North Tower of the world trade center. Terry, so glad you could be with us. And again, our hearts go out to you, and all of The Loved Ones of 9 11 victims. Has to be a very difficult weekend. At the same time, does this offer some answers for you . Seeing this report if you have had a chance already to take a look . Yes, i have had an opportunity to look at it, and id like to correct what was just said earlier in the reporting, that the Saudi Arabia welcomes all of this. No. Saudi arabia has been fighting us Tooth And Nail to keep all of this evidence buried. Its what they put out in the press, but its not true at all. They dont even release their own files. They dont produce documents in our court case. They do not cooperate. But what this report that came out what im seeing so far is there were at least eight saudi nationals involves in helping these hijackers, when they arrived in the united states. Theres documentation a flurry of Phone Calls happening between them and while the hijackers were coming to the united states and getting settled in. This group held extreme views. Extreme radical views. They were part of related with the Al Qaeda terrorist operatives. They are extremists, and they are in the saudi government. And they are on their payroll. And the kingdom was sending these extremists out into the world and unleashing them on All Of Us, including the united states of america. So the kingdom is not innocent here. They do not welcome this information. That is a lie. So you but do you feel that this report helps support the idea that the saudi government was complicit . Because the saudi government is responding and saying while yes, there may be saudi roots that are established in this report, nothing substantiates that the government was behind these hijackers. But these eight individuals at least eight in this report, are on the kingdoms payroll. They are working on behalf agents working on behalf of the kingdom. I dont know how they can say they werent connected when they actually are not only on their payroll but they are working within the government for the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and that they are the ones that sent them out into the world and unleashed them on All Of Us. These at least eight in this report. You know . And this is the tip of the iceberg. This is just a birds Eye View into the report. Theres 14,000 pages at least of operation encore. This isnt the only reports that will be coming out in the next six months from the Executive Order from the president. You know, he has ordered that all of these files be reviewed. Things that have State Secrets stamped on them. The overly classified documents and documents that they have refused to produce. Theres going to be a lot more information, but yeah, there are direct ties to the kingdom through these individuals. So you look forward to more. What does it say to you that the biden administration gave the green light to releasing this information, Al Bebeit after pressure from many of you, victims of 9 11, saying dont attend these services on 9 11 unless you are able to and would release this information . That the biden administration did that. What is the signaling to you . Well, theres more of the story than a group of 9 11 families saying youre not welcome at the memorial. Actually, it was Senator Menendez that introduced a Transparency Act on august 5th. That language of that legislation is what turned into the Executive Order. So on that day, when we stood in front of the capitol and made that announcement, i stood there with the senators. And Senator Schumer came out and senator grassley. We had strong bipartisan support. We were going to mandate the declassification process. The White House said whoa, its coming down the pipeline. We can do something about that and get ahead of it and help the families out before 9 11 by taking this legislation, turning it into the Executive Order, mandating the declassification review. Hes given it six months. They met the first deadline. Weve learned a lot. Theres a lot more to learn. Youve been very dogged in this. At the same time, you have had to help your children endure the last 20 years and beyond. Your kids were so young when 9 11 happened. One of them, correct me if im wrong, was only four days old, and now they are young adults. So what has this weekend, what has this past 20 years been like for you and your kids . This weekend really signifies the tremendous loss, because now we look back at two decades. Like you said, they were small, young children. 7, 4, four days old. Now theyre young adults. Hes missed out on everything. Hes missed out on my daughters wedding. Hes missed out on my son graduating from fort benning. My oldest son is working and went to college and had his graduations and his proms and ow all of that. Its been a very long, sad, difficult 20 years without tom loving us, showing his support, and raising my children with a father. But weve had to endure it. And we want to keep fighting for the truth, because thats what we feel is the most important thing we can do to honor him. To expose the kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the role they played in not only financing Al Qaeda and the terrorist organization, but the logistic support, that Support Network put in place in the united states that we are now seeing in this 2016 summary come to fruition. Terry strata, i thank you so much. Thank you for sharing your story, and clearly, tom, in heaven is very grateful of your continued fight on his behalf and that of some others. Appreciate you. Thank you so much. All right. Coming up, new fallout over Coronavirus Vaccine requirements. Why a hospital in Upstate New York is temporarily shutting down its Maternity Ward.

The 7day Rolling Average for daily covid deaths has nearly tripled over the past month and has not been this high since march 7th. President biden recently laid out a series of steps to combat covid including updated Vaccine Mandates and a renewed focus on Keeping Schools open. This as students in new York City, the nations largest school district, returned to the classroom. Tomorrow for the first time in 18 months. Joining me right now to discuss is dr. Abdul al saed. Good to see you. Schools across the nation have struggled to return safely to classrooms. How should new York City parents feel about their kids being in the classroom . Thats right. Well, i know theres a lot of anxiety among parents. My kid started School A couple weeks back. The key thing is if your kids are 12 and older and eligible for a vaccine, make sure theyre vaccinated. Its the single most important thing they can coto be protected. The second is make sure theyre wearing masks, especially for the younger kids who Cant Wear masks and may find it uncomfortable to wear a mask. E Eve Model how to wear it. Masks work. We know they do. And we know theyre critical to going back to school safely. The other part is weve also seen the learning lost for kids having had to stay home over the past year plus. And so its critical kids go to school. All of us are kind of in this together. We want obviously to keep our Kids Safe, but thats also Part And Parcel to keeping them learning. So these things, masking and vaccinating, are really absolutely critical to parents in new York City and across our country. Sure. And im wondering, your point of view. In the next hour im going to speak to a member of the Los Angeles School Board which just voted unanimously to mandate covid19 vaccines for students who are 12 and over by The End of the calendar year. Would you like to see something like this in place everywhere . Well, ill tell you this. We already mandate vaccines to go to School All over the country. Right . This is a new vaccine, but its been fda approved, and weve got reams and reams of evidence, hundreds of millions of people who have had this vaccine. We know its safe and effect i have. So this is in keeping with our policies around keeping our Kids Safe in school from infectious diseases that are Vaccine Preve preventable. I think this is smart policy. I know a lot of parents are going to bristle and say this is my decision to make. Heres the thing. We know that the choices we make affect other people. Think about it like having a couple drinks. If you have a couple drinks, that may just affect you, but if you get behind the wheel of a car, that affects other people because you share the road. We know every unvaccinated body is a person who could potentially spread this virus, have a higher likelihood of doing so. It is critical to protect ourselves, protect others from us to get vaccinated. And so public policy here has to take that into account like it does to keeping our roads safe. So i imagine you feel the same as President Biden who just recently said look, all federal employees, contract workers, youve got to get vaccinated as well as Health Care workers in settings with Medicare Or Medicaid reimbursements and american businesses with 100 or more employees must make sure their employees are vaccinated or tested once a week. The problem is that im trying to overcome resistance, but the president s actions in a mandate hardens the resistance. And we talked about the fact that weve historically had Vaccination Requirements in schools, but those have always come at the state level, never at The National level. So hardens the resistance . Is that the consequence here . Well, there are two points here. Number one, unfortunately, the Dwr Governor is one of the governors in the states that has the worst course in terms of cases, hospitalizations and deaths. So what hes doing is not quite working. The second point here is if you look at polling. Most of the Polling Suggestions that people, even those resistance to the vaccine had a Requirement Put on them by their employer, they would choose to do so. In some respects this is in keeping with what Public Opinion is telling us and most importantly, in keeping with what it takes to finally bring this pandemic to heal. I mean, how many more months do we have to suffer with this while we watch as people choose not to do the basic thing that can protect us all. And how about this . This is truly shocking, i think. Hospital in Upstate New York is set to stop delivering babies after September 24th due to Maternity Ward workers choosing to resign rather than to get vaccinated by the September 27th deadline imposed by the state. And so now officials say theyre working to ensure that this is a pause, not a permanent closure. But then can you share with us . I mean, what medical colleagues have expressed to you, why they would not in a hospital setting, doctors office, Nursing Home perhaps even, why they dont want to get vaccinated . Well, the overwhelming number of Health Care workers have chose ton get this vaccine. Thats in keeping with the science which is what we practice every single day in hospitals and clinics around this country. But its also in keeping with the responsibility to keep ourselves and to keep our patients and our Loved Ones safe. This is a Dereliction Of Duty and tells you the kind of person choosing to put themselves over the well being of those they swore an earth to serve. When i went to med school, we swore an oath that says first do no harm. Walking out on the job, leaving pregnant mothers without the Health Care they need. By putting yourself first and foremost and frankly, walking away from the science that you use to practice every day, thats to me is a Dereliction Of Duty. Its sad to see. We need a moment right now to actually step back and ask what is in the best interest of our country . And unfortunately, walking out on the job, walking out on pregnant women who are carrying and almost going to deliver, thats not it. At the same point, walking away from the same science you used to practice every single day, the same that tells us vaccines are safe against what we need to do is get back to the science and get back to a policy that reminds us what our goals are here to do which is to serve others and keep each other safe and healthy and hopefully get this pandemic behind us and get back to the business of living our lives. At a minimum, it is perplexing. Doctor, always good to see you. Thank you so much. Be well. Thank you. Be well. All right. Congressman Joe Moreli is now the latest lawmaker to test positive for coronavirus. The new York Democrat is fully vaccinated and is only experiencing mild symptoms. The Congressman Urging Unvaccinated Americans to go get shots, tweeting this. Had i not been vaccinated, my experience could have been much different. The Cdc Released Data last week showing that Breakthrough Cases remain very rare out of more than 176 Million americans that are fully vaccinated at the time, just over 14,000 have experienced Breakthrough Cases resulting in hospitalization or death.

A key democratic senator says he will not support the Price Tag for his partys massive economic bill aimed at expanding the nations social net. Today on Cnn West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin once again called for a pause on the democrats massive 3. 5 trillion reconciliation bill. He also wants the Price Tag dramatically reduced. He will not have my vote on 3. 546789. Weve talked about this. Weve already put out 5. 4 trillion. We tried to help americans in every way we can. A lot of the help we put out there is still there and is going to run into next year, 2022. Whats the urgency . Whats the urgency that we have . Its not the same urgency with the american rescue plan. Senator bernie sanders, the author of the bill, disagrees. It is absolutely not acceptable to me. I dont think its acceptable to the president , to the american people or the overwhelming people in the democratic caucus. Look, we work with Senator Manchin to pass the american rescue plan. I believe we can all sit down and work together and come up with a 3. 5 trillion reconciliation bill. The Stalemate Cast serious doubts on the timeline for the Bill Pelosi hoped to have the bill written this week and passed before The End of the month. And now were just two days out from a major Recall Vote in california when voters will be faced with two questions. Should they recall Governor Gavin Newsom and if so, who should replace him . A recent public Policy Institute Poll reveals 58 of likely voters say they will vote no on the recall. 39 plan to vote yes. President biden is heading to Colorado Tomorrow to Help Newsom keep his job. All underscoring The National implications of this race. Our next guest is banking on an upset. The former mayor of San Diego is a moderate republican who wants to win the chance to govern california, and hes joining us right now. Good to see you, mayor. So mayor, newsom is getting a lot of attention from heavy hitters. How are you feeling about your chances come tuesday . Great to be back with you. Feeling really good. And i think particularly as we hit the Home Stretch out here in california, a lot of undecideds, and a lot of folks that want a change in the stop because theyre not satisfied with the direction of our state. The fact that our state is so expensive. People are voting with their feet in california. Theyre leaving. Families cant afford to stay here. The fact that weve seen so many issues at our quality of life, exploding homelessness, crime rising to its highest level in over 13 years. And so there is an eagerness out here among by the way, people from all walks of life, all parts of the state, democrat, republican, and independent who want a change at the top, and look, ive been known as somebody who is very pragmatic, as mayor of San Diego who won in a Deep Blue city, in a Deep Blue state. I know that it takes All Of Us coming together, republicans and democrats, and thats really my Closing Message here in the final days of this campaign. And you mentioned some of those things common interest and concerns. California is the nations largest state, and your state is the worlds fifth largest economy ahead of the uk and india, according to the l. A. Times. So, of course, a lot is riding on this race. What is it about its economy, homelessness, covid19 wildfires, other environmental matters that you believe is being mismanaged, or that you perhaps can improve on . Well, theres so many. Ive been straightforward on the solutions that we need. And thats really how weve approached this campaign from the beginning. And in terms of my strong position, we need to build more Water Storage in california as were in another year of drought. Taking dramatic action, putting our state on a War Footing when it come to the changes we need to make for Brush And Forest management. Another important one that really reflects whats happened in virtually every city of any size in california, the explosion of homelessness. We took very dramatic, firm, yet compassionate action in San Diego while i was mayor. I did not allow encampments on the sidewalk. We reduced homelessness by double digits because we care about people. We care about people enough not to let them die in a tent on our freeways and underpasses. When you add up the issues californians, what they want is action. They dont want a bunch of rhetoric, and what i offer is a proven ability, as someone who cannot only win but somebody who is govern effectively with republicans and democrats. And you mentioned that youve been campaigning on these issues. So now just paint a picture for us. How do you campaign during a pandemic . Its going to be very different from when you were running for mayor. I mean, you cant get out there and press the flesh the same. How do you compete against the incumbent and the headlines grabbing attention of fellow republican Larry Elder . Yeah. It has been a different type of race. Theres no doubt about it in covid. We just finished a statewide Bus Tour the last two weeks. It was fantastic to talk to californians. Again, from all parts of our great state. And so many families. And obviously do it in interviews like this to get the word out that folks have a clear choice on that second question. And again, somebody who has been proud that understands that we need to bring solutions to california. Ive been really focusing a lot particularly in the last several weeks. We proposed the largest middle Class Tax Cut in california history. Thats what we were talking about earlier. Our state is so incredibly expensive. We do not allow california families to keep more of their hard earned money in their own pocket, were going to continue to see folks leave and continue to see folks struggle. So ive been direct messaged that says it is time to bring the state together. Get on the issues that californians care about the most, and again, i think thats a message that understands that how do you win in california . You win by addition. You win by wringing people together. Thats been my approach since i was mayor. Thats the exact same approach that ill take as governor. All right. Former San Diego mayor kevin falconer, hoping to be the governor pending the Recall Vote on tuesday. Thank you for being with us. Thank you.

And as Stephanie Elam reports, the Climate Crisis is impacting one of californias most unique natural landscapes. From their size General Sherman is 275 feet tall. Holy cow. To their longevity. Before ancient rome, before christ, i mean, these trees were mature. Much about giant Sequoia Trees is on large scale. They can only be found in Californias Sierra Nevada mountains. This is a resilient tree. Theyre tough. Almost nothing can kill them. But Climate Change is changing that. Shrinking the footprint. A giant have a Chi Ya that was first weakened by drought was then subject to impacts by the Bark Beetle which then further weakened the tree and potentially made it more susceptible to mortality from fire. The tree is said to be the fifth largest tree in the entire world. Its lived more than 3,000 years. Yet, were seeing that wildfire is threatening these joint sequoias more than ever before. The Castle Fire was a wakeup call. An estimated 7500 to 10,600 trees were destroyed in that one fire alone. Started by lightning in 2020, it burned more than 174,000 acres scorching several out groves. It was devastating, heart breaking. Everything had been incinerated. It was a field of the worlds largest burned up toothpicks. After decades of suppressing forest fire, other trees and brush have grown rampantly around the have a Kwoi Yas . The fires that used to burn every five or ten years would keep down the competition and reduce the fuel naturally. On land owned by the save the redwoods league, we hiked out to see how deadly the Castle Fire was here. For us to see 10 to 14 of the total of sequoias alive killed in one fire in one year, theres nothing to compare it to. Yet fire is not the enemy itself. The cones ep up. The seeds start to germinate after a fire. So near the lost giants, where the Fire Wasnt too intense, call chutes of hope take root. What i see have a lot of these Baby Giants that have sprouted up since the fire happened. Without an urgent response to the Climate Crisis, and increased forest maintenance, experts worry more of the once seemingly impervious sequoias will be lost. The biggest worry for me is we have two fires burning right now that are threatening groves we have not been able to treat. The risk is still there. Cnn in the Sierra Nevada mountains.
