Card image cap

Tomorrow, in support of the arrest of January 6th insurrectionists. Tonight new details of the heavy Security Measures being put in place to prevent another capital siege. We want to welcome our viewers here in the United States and around the world. Im Wolf Blitzer and youre in the situation room. This is cnn Breaking News. And we begin with the Breaking Pandemic News on covid Booster Shots and who fda advisers are recommending should get them. Dr. Sanjay gupta is joining us again. Sanjay, there were two votes by the Vaccine Advisers today. One of them was something of a surprise. Update our viewers. Yeah. So there were two votes. And the first vote was really basically asking the question. It was about the question of do the does the Safety And Efficacy of data support the use of recommending boosters for those 16 and older after six months after their first two shots . And that was the vote that they voted against. This was a surprise, wolf, because for a lot of people they have thought that boosters were preordaned, that this was happening. That was the message that came from the White House a couple weeks ago, September 20th you would be able to get your boosters. They said not so fast with the general population. They had a second vote asking for Emergency Use Authorization specifically for people over the age of 65 and those who are at risk of severe covid saying could they be authorized to get this booster . And that came back as a unanimous yes. Now, this is an advisory committee, so theyre making this recommendation to the fda. So thats where we are, wolf. Obviously the cdc then still has to weigh in on this. Fda authorizes and then the cdc makes the official recommendation that this group of people, in this case 65 and older or those at severe risk, go ahead and get the boosters. So it was a lot of back and forth, wolf. Again, i think it was a surprise to come extent because i have had people Coming Up to me telling, ive got my booster. Theyre talking about it already thinking this was inevidently going to happen. At least at this point that is not the recommendation. It is interesting. They said people 65 and older should get their booster shot six months after their second dose, not eight months, which was what was the White House was suggesting earlier, right . Thats right. Thats right. So thats a good point. That was a little bit of a difference there as well. You know, clearly this time frame, the most important thing about it in the conversation was that its quite a bit away from those initial two shots. To six months, eight months, there was a little discussion back and forth. That is going to be the recommendation from this advisory committee. Well see what the fda says. Standby, sanjay. I want to bring in our cnn medical analyst and a key member of the Fdas Vaccine advisory committee, the director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Childrens Hospital of philadelphia. Doctor, you were involved in these decisions today. Tell us, first of all, how you voted and why. Well, we were uncomfortable actually following essentially israels lead which was to make this a three Dose Vaccine for everybody under the age of 65. We wanted to test the water with one foot really and make the Vaccine Recommendation for those over 65, those who have high risk medical conditions that put them at risk of serious disease and those who were in occupations where there is a high risk of transmission. The israeli data in many ways varies with u. S. Data. U. S. Data shows protection against serious illness remains high through delta and for all age groups, which is different from what the israelis are finding, so we didnt follow their lead. You also said, doctor, that the biden administration rushed the booster approval process. But can you explain why you feel this was moved too quickly . All right. Well, the way the process works is to identify a problem. You pose a solution to the problem, which in this case would be a booster dose. Then it goes to the fda. And then that regulatory body listens to their advisers and then you move from there to the cdc, which is a public Health Agency that makes a recommendation. That whole process was really skipped and in many ways the cdc was skipped. But i think finally the administration stepped back and let this Process Play out the way it should have played out at the beginning. Doctor, you advocated for Booster Availability a lot more broadly. So whats your response to todays two decision . Well, i think that the Fda Advisory Committee did reach a reasonable Middle Ground at the end of the day saying that individuals 65 and older and also very importantly those at high risk. I think that was really important because that allows for individualized decisionmaking because who is to say that somebody who is 42 with Diabetes And Heart disease, maybe that person is at higher risk than a healthy 65yearold or individuals living at home with unvaccinated people who are not taking any precautions and that person also has a highrisk medical conditions and allows individuals to make the best decision together with their doctor. Overall, the right decision, the fda did come to the right decision. Although i do take issue with one thing regarding process. I think it was entirely appropriate for the White House to come out last month with foreshadowing that a Booster Program was going to come. Imagine the outcry from the public if the White House had said nothing last month when the israelis, the germans, the british government, when they had already started allowing boosters when there was pretty good evidence that immunity was waning. If the biden administration did not take a stance at that point, we would have been very angry and there would be an outcry of a different type. What do you think, sanjay . Well, i think that there are ways to certainly be prepared which i think i totally agree with lena on. You want to send a message, look, a Booster Discussion is happening. If it does go through the fda and cdc, were prepared. Thats totally reasonable. But adding a date to it, saying September 20th, no longer makes it sound like you are trying to be prepared. To me it sounded like they were getting out ahead of things. Doctor, what was your impression . The same. I think what still isnt known is whether or not we could get on top of this pandemic with a two dose strategy. I mean, what is going to be the change in the ark of this pandemic by giving a third dose to people who are already vaccinated as compared to giving two doses to people unvaccinated. It is unclear to me whether or not we could have gotten the two dose strategy. The biggest mistake we make is labeling asymptomatic with wildly symptomatic and breakthrough infections. Despite being fully vaccinated, you are hospitalized or worse. I think we created an expectation for this vaccine that, frankly, was unfair. Sanjay, i want to get your reaction and also yours to the danger that this Delta Variant is posing to the american people right now. Look at these graphics. We have seen an explosion of new cases over the last three months of 11,000 to about 150,000 right now. A troubling rise in the number of deaths. 200 americans a day dying from covid19. Now its almost 2,000 a day. Give us your sense why things have deteriorated so quickly over these past three months. Its really hard to look at those graphics. I hope people dont become numb to those numbers. I think a lot of people have just talked about the high contagiousness of the delta virus. And i think that certainly seems to be the biggest factor here. You know, people who kind of got away with things in the past didnt, you know, with a virus thats so contagious. I can tell you i spent time on the covid Ward Yesterday at our hospital and saw some of the icu doctors. There is not clear evidence that the Delta Variant is making people sicker. It is just maybe that its more contagious. Although anecdotally at least when you talk to the doctors, you are seeing patients who are younger who are getting critically ill and you are seeing patients who need dialysis because of significant Kidney Dysfunction when they get sick with this. It is heartbreaking to see that, especially when you also recognize that 95 of Covid Patients in the hospital roughly around the country are unvaccinated. Were talking about boosters that help the 5 that get sick in the hospital, but 95 are unvaccinated. That makes it more heartbreaking. The line at the top is the unvaccinated population, and the flat line is the vaccinated just to give you an idea of how different you can see those two groups. The most important thing if you havent been vaccinated, Go Out There and get your shots. Do it as quickly as possible. Potentially it could save your life. Thanks to All Of You. Thanks to All Of You for what you are doing as well. And stay with cnn this weekend for a very special report, the origins of covid19, searching for the source. Its Sanjay Gupta is hosting the extraordinary program that airs Sunday Night 8 00 p. M. Eastern only here on cnn. Well watch it. The Breaking News continues next here in the situation room. The pentagon now admitting it made a very, very deadly mistake in a Drone Strike that was supposed to target terrorists in afghanistan but instead killed ten civilians including seven children.

The pentagon revealing a Drone Strike in afghanistan that was supposed to target Isisk Terrorists, instead hit a civilian vehicle killing 7 children and 3 adults. Jeff, this is a truly horrible development coming on the heels of the very chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan. Update our viewers. Wolf, it has been nearly three weeks since that deadly Drone Strike killed ten civilians including seven children. The u. S. Government admitted what has become clear in recent days. They called it a tragic mistake. A driver for a u. S. Aid group was misidentified as an Isisk Terrorist in the final days of the withdrawal of the american citizens and afghan partners. This adds another dark view of those final dark days of americas longest war. Our investigation now concludes that the strike was a tragic mistake. Tonight, a dramatic reversal. The Pentagon Conceding a Drone Strike last month in kabul killing 10 civilians, including 7 children. Chairman of u. S. Central command Apologizing Frg the deadly misfire, striking an innocent Aid Worker and his family. This strike was taken in the earnest belief it would prevent an imminent threat to our forces and the evacuees at the airport. But it was a mistake, and i offer my sincere apology. As a combatant commander, i am fully responsible for this strike and this tragic outcome. Reporter it was the last known missile fired by the u. S. In afghanistan during the chaotic withdrawal of afghan partners. Threats from isisk were looming and they believed terrorists were going to use a white toyota to attack the airport. This was not a rushed strike. Reporter but a new Pentagon Review following an investigation by cnn and other Media Outlets concluded it was a tragic mistake. And certainly in the days ahead of the attack. We think the procedures were correctly followed. Reporter now giving way to condolences. Chairman of the joint chiefs calling the deadly Drone Strike on civilians a horrible tragedy of war. President biden hailed the Drone Strike as evidence the u. S. Can confront threats without having boots on the ground. We have shown that capacity just in the last week. We struck isisk remotely, days after they murdered 13 of our service members. Reporter but that assessment turned out to be false, now raising questions about the Drone Strategy going forward and the u. S. Capacity to strike Isisk Terror targets. Now President Biden was briefed about this investigation earlier today before leaving for a week long a weekend long vacation at one of his Delaware Beach homes, but the White House has since not said a single word about this strike in the hours since. We have been awaiting a statement from the president , but as of this moment, it is still not yet arrived. Wolf . Reporter jeff, thank you very much. Lets go to afghanistan right now. Our international editor Nic Robertson is on the ground in kabul for us tonight. What is the likely reaction from the new regime over there led by the taliban . Reporter yeah, nothing so far, wolf. And i dont think we would expect it in the middle of the night, but this was friday here. It was friday prayers. The main sermon at the mosque behind me, we could hear it being broadcast outside to the people on the streets outside. The message was very, very clear. The message was the reason that this country is in such a difficult situation economically and Everything Else, this was the message coming from the mosque from the taliban was, due to the United States, they were blaming it, blaming the situation here on the United States. So i would anticipate, we dont know yet, but i would anticipate that when the taliban do Wake Up in the morning and they do pick Up On this report coming in from the pentagon that they are likely to use this for their propaganda, they do not trust the United States. They believe the United States still has friends in this country, friends who might do them harm in the future, friends who could be the seeds of resistance of the taliban in the future. Thats why there is a Crack Downgoing on in this part of the city, houses being searched every night. I would anticipate when the taliban get their hands on this situation, they will use it to darken the united States Name even further. I suspect you are absolutely right. Nic robertson, Stay Safe over there in kabul. Lets get more on this. I want to bring in william k cohen. Mr. Secretary, thanks so much for joining us. All right. So military officials originally said this strike killed what they said were two highprofile isisk planners, terrorists. Now they admit ten civilians including seven children. How could the u. S. Military and Intelligence Community for that matter have gotten this so wrong . Well, they did get it wrong. How they got it wrong is yet to be determined. I just want to pause long enough to say how this affected me, to see these this family wiped out. I remember that donald rumsfeld, former secretary of defense said he worried we were creating more terrorists than we were killing in iran. Seems to me when something like this happens, you can expect the reaction will be very negative. If i were that family that had just been wiped out, i wouldnt be looking for any kind of compensation, any kind of reparation. I would be looking for revenge. And i think thats the thing that we have to worry about when we launch these strikes, to be as careful as we possibly can. And nothing is ever perfect. I know i have been on the other end of this in terms of having launched strikes based on bad intelligence. It happens. But i think we need to pause here long enough to talk about the strategy this family is going through. Now to see their entire family wiped out over a mistake that we made. So i think it causes some question about going forward, using our overthehorizon capability, making sure that as best we can whatever admonitions we use i remember a Vietnam Vet once said to me, remember this, at the end of every bullet, someones son as died. So we have to keep that in mind as we do the best we can under extraordinary circumstances to protect the american people. But make sure we understand that the people in afghanistan are real human beings. Theyre not all terrorists. Theyre not all taliban. Certainly not. Let me put these pictures back Up On the screen. A few of the Kids Age 2, age 2, age 7, age 6, 19yearold, a 15yearold, a 9yearold, you see these kids who were killed. And whats so concerning to me is that this was an overthehorizon Drone Attack, meaning we had no one on the ground trying to confirm this white toyota was in fact a Terrorist Vehicle as opposed to an ngo and worked with the u. S. For years and years helping the people in afghanistan with the cooperation of the United States and then all of a sudden this Over The Horizon Drone Attack happens. How worried are you that thats all were going to be able to do right now overthehorizon attacks as opposed to having people on the ground . I think in the shortterm, it is going to be, quote, overthehorizon. But it puts more pressure on the United States to make sure that the intelligence is going to be better than it has been. What is most sad about this is the people on the ground, the parents who are left, the Family Members going around picking up pieces of their children, their nose or their jaw to identify who their children were, who the Family Members were. And thats, you know, Thats Part of the fog of war. But we have to be more careful. There are a lot of people who worry about using drones as an easy way to fight war that were remote from it and not on the ground. Makes it easier to try and kill other people. I dont think it makes it any ease your, nor should it be easier. You have to take greater care when on the ground. Clearly you wont have as good information if you are Over The Horizon a few hundred miles away as opposed to right there. Mr. Secretary, thanks for coming in.

Tonight just ahead of Tomorrows Rally in support of a pro Trump Mob that led siege to the insurrection on January 6th fuel by the former president s lies about a rigged election. Ryan nobles is working the story for us. Capital police say theyre ready, that there wont be a repeat of the January 6th insurrection. Reporter thats right, wolf. Part of the reason is the Security Precautions they put in place. This will take place over the reflecting pool over my shoulder. But if any of these Protesters Attempt to get into the capital, they will be greeted by this, a huge police presence. This as Capital Police do everything they can to keep people safe tomorrow. Capitol hill on alert. The leadership of the u. S. Capitol Hill Police department has been appearing working to ensure that we dont have a repeat of January 6th. Reporter the u. S. Capital police are preparing for the worst, establishing a massive Security Presence. Were not going to Tolerance Violence and we will not tolerate criminal behavior of any kind. The american public and the members of congress have an expectation that we protect the capital. And im confident with the plan we have in place that were going to be able to meet that expectation. Reporter the Security Presence is akin to that of a major event like a State Of The Union or inauguration. It includes a massive Security Fence that wraps around the entire capital. In all hands on Deck Force of officers, backup from local police and the National Guard and specific Training And Tabletop exercises for a worst case scenario. Good afternoon. Reporter the pentagon confirming they are ready to provide help if needed. The Task Force will only be deployed to help the u. S. Capital building and congressional office buildings by manning Building Entry points and screening individuals that are seeking access to the building. They will be unarmed. Reporter it will be the u. S. Capital police tasked with the bulk of the responsibility. Many of the same officers on the front lines on January 6th and Chief Tom Majors that he and his Leadership Team took time to meet with each individual officer to make sure they were ready. Were trying to get in front of every single u. S. Officer in the Police Department. The reason was to brief them on our plan. And the whole purpose behind that was to instill confidence that the department has prepared. Reporter while the capital is the focus, Law Enforcement leaders are also concerned about the city at large. A number of festivals and Sporting Events are scheduled throughout washington, d. C. And the metropolitan d. C. Police chief promises his officers are prepared. We expect it to go on and people who attend are going to enjoy themselves. Again, were prepared. We have contingency plans for any possible disruptions. Reporter he will provide an estimate of how much this massive Security Scaleup would cost but said more than anything it was designed to practice for threats bigger than they anticipate this weekend. He also predicted this wont be a regular occurrence. I think that were going to use it when it needs to be used, but 99 of the demonstrations we handle are handled without this kind of planning. Reporter and were still more than 15 hours away from the start of this rally, but were already starting to see the Security Precautions start to tighten up. This is first street southwest. In sous the last kour Capital Police have shut it off to vehicular traffic. Wolf, they are taking every precaution they can to keep tomorrow as safe as possible. Very, very sad to have to see this unfold here in washington, d. C. Ryan, thank you very much. Very much. Ryan nobles reporting from capitol hill. Our chief political analyst is with us and Charles Ramsey is with us as well, former d. C. Police chief. Chief ramsey, Capitol Police say their intelligence operations, they have the d. C. National guard on standby. Do you believe all of this will be enough . Yeah, i do. I think theyre as prepared as they can be. I was glad they did put the fencing back up. That gives standoff distances. I think you will see an overwhelming presence of police. The other issue of course is going to be on metropolitan Police Department with all the other events going on. I havent seen the operational plan, but im sure they will have some mobile platoons to be able to respond quickly should something occur away from the capitol. The Capitol Police chief, gloria, admitted it is tough to tell which threats are credible, but clearly theyre not going to underestimate the risks this time. They want to err on the side of caution. They do. Originally he requested 100 armed National Guard on standby. That was changed to unarmed National Guard on standby. And what it makes me think about is this chain of command that really still exists from the Capitol Police to Everyone Else who can help them. They cannot act independently when they see a huge national security threat. They have to let Everyone Else know what is going on as we saw on January 6th, and there was a real problem with that. They dont want to repeat that this time, so they want everybody on alert, even if theyre unarmed. They want everybody on alert so they understand how this would progress should the need be. Chief ramsey, Rank And File officers have gotten intelligence briefings. How important is it for these officers to know what theyre up against as opposed to what we saw back in january . I think its very important, especially after January 6th. Part of the problem was a lack of communication even internally with their own officers. So this time around, chief is making sure thats not a problem so that they feel confident that the department is ready this time around. That has a huge impact on moral and their ability to be able to respond tomorrow. I think theyre about as ready as they can be and quite frankly, you may wind up with more Police Officers than you do people at the rally tomorrow. We shall see. Gloria, the former President Isnt attending this rally, but his statements clearly make it clear he sympathizes with their cause. How do his supporters seize on something like that . Well, first of all, given what the chief said, Donald Trump said this was a setup. Maybe if you told the supporters it was a setup, a lot of them will decide not to come. On the other hand, he is with the demonstrators. He says our hearts and minds are with the people being persecuted so unfairly related to the January 6th protests. So he is saying, okay, those folks are getting thrown in jail, those folks that wanted to overthrow the government, im with them. Hes giving a permission slip. He certainly is. All right, guys. Thank you very much. We will be having extensive coverage. It shall be quiet, but we shall see.

France is recalling its ambassadors to the United States and australia over the national security partnership. The two countries just announced with britain. Cnn national Correspondent Atwood is working the story for us over at the state dpepartmen. This is truly an extraordinary move by the u. S. s first ally. Thats right. This is believed to be the first time that the french have resorted to this move in modern history. This is significant. What it demonstrates is the france want to voice their Anger And Frustration and allow that to dissipate over time. They are recalling the ambassador here in the United States back to france for consultation. Its clear that their Frustration Isnt over. What theyre frustrated over is this new u. S. U. K. And australia partnership. At the center of it is these nuclear powered submarines that the United States is going to help australia acquire. As a result of those submarines, there is an agreement that australia used to have with france to provide them with traditional submarines. Thats a multibillion Dollar Deal that is now of course on ice. The french are frustrated because of the economic reasons here, The Business reasons. But it also highlights just how significant this moment in time is when it comes to geopolitics. Of course u. S. Versus china and questions about what European Nations are going to do as that Competition Heats up. Wolf . And, melissa, the french foreign minister minced no words at all characterizing this nuclear Submarine Deal as in his words a stab in the back. France is really angry. I have been told theyre especially angry because they were kept In The Dark and only informed about this new deal maybe a few hours before it was publically announced. Thats exactly right, wolf. There is the fact of the deal to france. But the much broader and perhaps most damaging and most hurtful to europe, which is this announcement was made without too much warning. So it came on the days that the president of the European Commission held the state of the yunion on the eve of the Day Whn Europe was going to announce its own indopacific strategy. The u. S. Working with china when it could, containing it when it needed to, but something it felt very strongly about. It was blind sided to be clear from the announcement on the same day that it learned at the very last minute that this new deal essentially restructured and reshaped the way the world worked geopolitically, but that first and oldest alliance not only the United States but france, this in the very week when we were went to be celebrating the 240th anniversary of the chesapeake routing that essentially led To Yorktown and the United States. This was a week of celebration that is very much muted with this ultimate move, a sign of how deeply europe feels about that complete lack of communication. Good point. Thanks very much.

Com tonight one of the ten house republicans who voted to impeach former President Trump says he wont seek reelection next year, calling mr. Trump a cancer for the country. The former president now gloating and im quoting him, one down, nine to go. Lets get reaction from cnn senior commentator John Kasich and cnn political commentator, a former republican congresswoman. Governor kasich, trump says Gonzalezs Departure is no loss for ohio or our country. What do you say as you watch your state lose a republican representative who stood up for democracy . Its a sad its a sad situation, wolf. A couple things, i think, though are going on. Were facing this redirecting gerrymandering, and i think that the gonzalez is very concerned about the fact whether he would have a district or maybe his district would be in the middle of late hearing. So the republicans in charge and we can lead to very weird things and i think he was scared he would be punished there is so much loss of respect for so many things, so many positions and you saw the battering this guy took. He was talking about the police having to escort his family through the airport. If you havent been in politics a long time, to develop that thick skin, it can be very, very difficult. So, you know, i think hes decided he had enough both with possibility of being redistricted out of a seat and secondly, with a lot of the abuse hes taking, which is uncalled for. Yeah, he was really worried about the security of his wife and kids he told the times. He also told the times the environment is so toxic in his words especially in our own party right now adding that he no longer wants to win a seat if it means being part of a trump dominated republican caucus. I can himimagine you can relate im sure he looked at his polls and thought okay, this is not going my way, but what he talks about when he talks about an environmental, toxic environment, not just in washington but also on the Campaign Side where you can see the comments or statements the president made about him. Look, ohio especially ohios 16th congressional district is according to Cook Report Pvi r plus ten is a solid republican district. What is trump doing instead of going after democrats who he disagrees with all the time . Hes going after republicans who disagreed with him one time mainly and that is on Imp Impeachment and that is not good for the republican party. What does it mean, John Kasich, for the remaining nine house republicans that voted to impeach then President Trump . Fight like hell. Dont give in. Go out and tell people what you think. Today i was with a couple guys and i was pointing out to them that, you know, normally when somebody leaves people say nice things. Trump is gleeful bragging saying look how horrible this is and i said guys, one was an athlete, i said is that the what the youth expect the opposing coach to do when they lose a game to make fun of you and go okay, dont blame us. Dont blame us. Were republicans but dont blame us and thats no way to behave. Yeah, its a sad thing when were losing those folks but dont give in. Keep going. And have your voice out there. Ill give you the last word, mia. Do you think the other nine republicans in the house that voted to impeach are in trouble . Look, the only Thing Id say to them is its not their job to represent the former president but their district. The branch of government closest to the people is the house of representatives. So go out and be who you are and at the end of the day, make sure that people know you did what was right. We need republicans that have all different ideas out there, not just following one person. Mia love, John Kasich, thank you. Up next, were going live to the u. S. Mexican border where a chaotic situation is growing worse and worse by the hour.

Michael is in Dell Rio at the u. S. Mexico border. Michael, what are you seeing . Reporter hi, wolf. I was on the other side of the international bridge in the mexican side in acuna, mexico. We walked all the way through the Rio Grande and saw the migrants. We were there for few hours, several hours and its a back of forth of people coming through the states, woman, children, pregnant women that they are just waiting to be present here for the Immigration Authorities. During the day, they go to mexico to buy groceries because they said that they are not receiving enough water, food from the Immigration Authorities in the United States. I spoke with few of them migrants from haiti. He said it took him 22 days to reach the mexican side of the border. He is out of money. He hasnt he doesnt have anything during the day and hes waiting for the opportunity to apply for a political asylum in the United States. Its very difficult. We saw people crossing with mattresses, with tents, with kids on the shoulders just hoping that they can be living in the United States. I mentioned them that the cdp and Immigration Authorities have said that they are going to be deported but they said they dont care and they insist to try one more time to be in the United States. Its very complex because also the weather is too hot right now. Over 100 degrees, wolf. Michael well stay on top of this story.
