For relief. A major step for britney Spears Control of her own life. Her father is willing to step down as her conservator. Could that lead to the pop Stars Freedom . And a group of house moderate democrats threatening to withhold votes for the 3. 5 trillion Spending Package until the Infrastructure Bill is passed and signed into law. We begin this hour and this morning with Breaking News out of afghanistan where things are falling apart with stunning speed in the last 24 hours. Taliban forces seized four major capitals, grand Canyon Control of southern and western afghanistan, putting them within striking distance of the capital of kabul. Officials that thought the afghan government would and could stand for at least six months now fear it could collapse in half that time. 3,000 u. S. Forces are sent back into the country to help the united States Embassy Staff evacuate before the taliban takes over. Kelly cobiella talks to us. Bring us Up To Speed. We have been checking in daily, the situation deteriorating pretty rapidly. Whats the situation like in the city this afternoon your time. What are people doing. Seems like the Taliban Takeover is almost inevitable at this point. Reporter it has that sense. When you talk to people in kabul theyre extremely worried about that. They tell you were not sure what to do. Everything has been so uncertain in the past week that people are almost frozen with anxiety, wondering if they should try to leave or hunker down. To give you an idea what happened in the past 24 hours, 12 hours, provinces are toppling. We have confirmed overnight kandahar, second largest city in the country, birthplace of the taliban, the hub for thousands of u. S. Troops over the course of the war has, in fact, fallen to the taliban. Also a key commercial center, very important city. Afghan forces fought for it, have been fighting for it for weeks. Theyve had help, limited help from u. S. Air strikes. In the end, overnight it was too much. That city has fallen. Along with a big commercial hub in the west, harat. Nbc news confirmed that city is now in the hands of the taliban. People in kabul feel more isolated, there are questions about whether or not this Capital City at some point will fall to the militant group as well. As we have been talking about the past couple days, Tens Of Thousands of people have been seeking refuge here. Those numbers are continuing to increase. We visited parts where people are living out in the open under the Hot Sun and relying on goodwill of volunteers for food and water. Because of the instability, the u. S. Forces, the pentagon decided to send in 3,000 troops. Theyll be stationed temporarily the pentagon says at the Kabul Airport to help evacuate embassy staff. Ayman . Kelly cobiella, stay safe. Well check in through the day as this develops. Back at home, several developments in the battle against coronavirus. In about two hours, a Cdc Panel will vote whether to green Light Vaccine Booster shots for those with weakened immune systems. The fda Made A highly anticipated move, authorizing the extra dose of covid vaccines for those vulnerable americans. It only impacts 3 of the adult population, but the cdc says they makeup 40 of hospitalized break through cases. Were getting alarming new numbers this morning. David covid hospitalizations are averaging 10,000 nationwide. Up 31 in the course of a week and causing a major strain for many hospitals. Reporter Massive Spike in covid calls, stretching the ems too thin. For 26 minutes, we had not one ems unit in the available city. Reporter now in memphis, sudden rise threatening the 911 system on pace for the busiest month ever. You may call for an ambulance, we may not have one available. The broward Teachers Union confirms three teachers and Teacher Assistant died from covid the last couple days. The Union President three of the four were unvaccinated. And the Supreme Court is blocking the requirement that students with vaccinated to attend classes for fall semester. The first legal test of a Vaccine Mandate to come before the highest court. I have the best team following the developments. Allison barber in hard hit mississippi, simone boys, addison davis, superintendent of Hillsborough County public schools in florida, and dr. Bedalia. Start with you, doctor. After the decision to approve boosters for the immuno compromised, your initial reaction, whats the chance it to be expanded to all adults down the road . Ayman, we have been looking at it closely. We have seen it in our patients who have never been able to mount immune response to the first two doses. Small studies show if you give them a third dose, it is not like a booster, almost like a third in the series to get antibodies up to the point theyre protected. Theyre vulnerable particularly now during the delta surge, theres so much community transmission. Theyre more likely to come across people. Thats why they ever making up a big part of hospitalizations. I am not surprised for that. The next group you may want on the radar is those over 65. Data out of israel and elsewhere is showing thats a group that may see break through infections. I dont know we can say with certainty that you may see that expanded in the near future to all adults, not with data we have currently. Allison, youre on the ground in mississippi where days into the new school year, the situation has unfortunately taken a dramatic turn. Bring us Up To Speed on how this is playing out. Reporter in mississippi schools, they define outbreak as three or more people diagnosed with covid19 within the same group in a 14 day period. In the first week of august there have been 80 outbreaks reported at mississippi schools. Over 4,000 students currently quarantined. Numbers of infected teachers, staff and Super Tuesday is higher now than it was this time last year, even though significantly fewer schools reported data to the Mississippi Department of health, theres not universal Mask Mandate. Max are optional in the vast majority of schools and the governor of the state has been adamant saying he will not do a Mask Mandate for schools. Now with students, children forced to learn at home. Some parents are hoping theyll reconsider that. I definitely feel a Mask Mandate would have at least slowed the spread. You know, the children are doing what their parents are doing and so if you mix the Mask Wearers with nonMask Wearers, it puts everybody at risk. I think we are seeing the results of those choices. Reporter her son is all virtual the next couple weeks. In the sixth grade, 12 years old, on his 12th birthday went for his first dose of a covid19 vaccine. He said he was excited to do that. He is a mask maniac. He wears masks all the time. He wore them in the classroom and was hoping this year would be different. So far it is not. Seems like it is worse. Back to you. Allison, stay with us a moment. Addison, you are requiring masks, youre one that has to make the decision. 14 of families opted out of wearing masks. How do you keep kids safe if a minority of kids are not wearing masks as we just saw. It takes one infected child to spread covid. Biggest thing is making certain we implement a Mask Mandate in the School District. At the same time respecting rights of every floridian where they can opt out. Not only with masks, we have taken a number of medical expert recommendations to mitigate, having Sanitation Stations in the classroom filled with masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, wipes, being able to have directional hallways through interaction in common areas, at the same time, continuing to stress the Hygiene Points of Washing Hands and other elements. When covid hit, we started immediately to have the first week, i established a partnership with local medical experts in Department Of Health to start to identify proactive solutions to further protect. Please know the School District cant do it in isolation, takes a civic Leader Mindset in the community to wrap our arms around this to take the necessary steps, to have Check Points before any Employee And Learner transitions to school, every morning asking parents to do a symptoms check, to be cognitive of that, to make informed decisions to protect themselves, their little ones, and everyone in the community. Speaking of your Community And Leadership that is required, talk about your governor. Republican governor Ron Desantis doubling down on banning Mask Mandates on fox news. Let me play this clip. We know now about masks or no masks. You know how we know . Theres a lot of schools throughout the united states and europe that didnt have masks, including in florida. We had some districts had them last year, some districts that didnt. Theres no statistical difference in results from covid as a result of this. Our view is you shouldnt have government forcing kindergarteners to wear masks for hours a day. That should be the decision for the parent. Let me give you a chance to respond to statistics of those masked and unmasked. To the governors point, why not leave it up to parents to decide whether they want kids to wear masks in school or not. Here we are doing just that, we are mandating masks, shows the sensitivity where we are as a community. We see a spike related to covid. At the same token, we have steps to requirements that we have to protect every one of the parents rights. From our side of it, well make sure we follow every requirement. And at the same time sensitivity and put Mitigation Strategies in to be success. Doctor, stay on florida a second. Governor desantis announcing plans to distribute regeneron and other treatments to hospitals to help those infected calling it probably the best we can do to reduce the number of people that require hospitalizations. Fact check that for us, your reaction to it. I say every single public Health Person would say prevention is better than cure. By the time someone gets to the hospital and is already sick, it is too late. Regeneron, it is great we have that tool. It is helpful for high risk patients that had it, but theres a study out of yale this week shows if florida and texas achieved 74 coverage of vaccines, could have averted 74,000 hospitalizations and 5,000 deaths. Thats how they could have made the biggest impact. Yes, we should reach out for monoclonal antibodies, masks are pennies on the dollars, lives saved, and Made A big difference. Simone, youre in california where things are trending better now compared to where they were a short time ago. What is working there on the ground . What to officials attribute the turnaround to . It is rare we have this kind of news. It is true, thats what we are seeing on the ground in california now. No doubt, cases and hospitalizations are on the rise in this state as they are in other states around the country, but were not seeing the same level of Devastation Or Overcrowding of hospitals youre seeing at some of the hot spots in the south. Lets take a closer look at numbers. When you look at the number of new cases per 100,000 people in the past seven days, in california, that number is 139. Thats half what theyre seeing in texas, a fraction of what theyre seeing in florida where that number is closer to 700. Now, experts say there are a number of reasons. The biggest probably being vaccinations. In california, the state has one of the higher rates of vaccination. Again, when we take a closer look at the numbers and compare percentage of the population partially vaccinated, that number is over 77 . Compare it to florida and texas where they havent broken the 70 mark yet. May not seem like a huge difference, when you look at the people hospitalized, it is mostly unvaccinated. Even a few percentage points can make a difference. THeres Something else at play. I wanted to ask dr. Wokner about. He says a lot of this comes down to the different approach in messaging around Mask Mandates and coronavirus restrictions. Listen to this. Political leadership at the state and regional, City Level has been unambiguous. This variant is more infectious, if were not careful until we have more vaccinated, well have lots of cases, hospitals overrun. That happened in california. Clearly has not happened in texas and florida. And the consequences are really quite dire. The progress we are seeing in california comes as coronavirus restrictions are tightening around the state, just this week San Francisco becoming the first city in california to essentially bar unvaccinated people from several indoor activities, including dining, going to movies, working out. Ayman, ill send it back to you. Thanks for that. Doctor, one more for you quick. We talked about another wave coming. Some are saying we are in the peak of this wave. Are we likely to see that worsen in fall or do you think by the time fall arrives things will have leveled off a bit . Well, i think the Delta Experience for other countries are smaller than us, like uk or israel, the Delta Wave moves fast. Were a bigger country. I see peaks are rolling longer for us as opposed to whats in store for future and fall, depends on whats on the horizon for new variants. Point out were talking about boosters here. Most of the world, 15 of the world is vaccinated. Most of the world is not vaccinated. This disease may come back with a variant we cant expect, hence fall is harder to project, as is burden potentially, we havent seen as many respiratory viruses like influenza, we all expect it might be a bad season for flu. I would be remiss to remind people, when it is flu season, get your vaccine this year. Thanks to all of you on that conversation.

A group of House Democrats sending a letter to Speaker Pelosi saying they wont consider voting for the 3. 5 trillion Budget Resolution until the bipartisan Infrastructure Bill is signed into law. It comes days after the senate passed the bipartisan bill. It is now sitting on Nancy Pelosis desk. She wont put it to the floor until they pass the second package first. Some high Stakes Drama playing out. This throws a wrench into house leaderships plan. Any way for them to get around this . Reporter hey, ayman. That is where the magic of house speaker Nancy Pelosi comes in. Shes masterful keeping the party together. This will be a complicated task for Speaker Pelosi to do, since the nine house moderate democrats sent a letter saying theyre going to withhold their votes on the Budget Framework that the house is coming back in session later this month to vote on until they write the house passes and president signs into law the bipartisan Infrastructure Bill. They point to the senate, say the senate passed the bipartisan bill and then the Budget Resolution framework, theyre saying that this is the thing that needs to be done. This is the order they point to, jobs need to be created, Transportation Projects that need to be begun because of the economy and crumbling infrastructure. The reason the nine Democrats Matter is because Speaker Pelosi can only lose three democrats in her caucus to pass anything in the house of representatives. This is enough to derail her plans. I was going to say quickly, a lot of people anticipated that it might be progressives that hold up the Infrastructure Bill if the 3. 5 trillion bill doesnt go forward. It seems the moderates have taken this preemptive strike for lack of a better word to try and hold things up or move along the bipartisan bill. Reporter yeah, thats absolutely right. You mention the progressives, they have the opposite opinion. They say they will not vote for the bipartisan bill unless they get a videos on the Budget Framework or excuse me, actual legislation of the 3. 5 trillion. The progressives say there are a lot more of is than there are of moderates. They think they have political weight in a Closed Door conference call. The other day, Speaker Pelosi sided with progressives, before the letter. Well have to see how she deals with the situation, ayman. Lee ann caldwell, live with Breaking News. Thank you as always. Coming up, the u. S. Sending 3,000 troops back in afghanistan to help evacuate u. S. Personnel from the embassy there as the taliban gains ground, threatens to take control of the capital. We breakdown how the situation got so dire so quickly. On got so dire so quickly by rootmetrics. And our customers rated us 1 for Network Quality in america according to j. D. Power. Number one in reliability, 16 times in a row. Most awarded for Network Quality, 27 times in a row. Proving once again that nobody builds networks like verizon. Thats why were building 5g right, thats why theres only one best network. It takes a certain kind of person to change the world. My greatgreatgrandmother, my greatgrandfather, greatgreatgrandfather was that kind of person. He looked after his community. She built an empire. He protected this nation. They lived their lives in extraordinary ways. With ancestry, i learned the story of peter vaughters. William lacy. Madam c. J. Walker. They are the heroes in my family. Who are the heroes in yours . Back to afghanistan where Taliban Forces seized more than twothirds of the country leaving the capital as one of two major cities under Government Control. It is a Gut Wrenching turn of events after the u. S. Lost 2300 service members, spent more than 800 Billion trying to turn afghanistan into a functioning country. Right now, seems to be collapsing before our eyes. Look at the maps. Dark red is taliban control. Gray shows Government Control of afghanistan in april. This is how the country looks today. Want to bring in Courtney Kube. And barry mccaffrey, commanded forces in latin america and iraq. Courtney, start with situational report if we can. Give us a sense how fast things have fallen apart in cities like harat or kandahar, places they dont know about it, but are some of the biggest strategic cities in afghanistan. Thats right. The four big cities you worry about falling, kandahar, harat, kabul. Two of those have fallen. One is under serious threat and the taliban are on the doorstep of the fourth. The situation deteriorated. Whats critical for viewers to understand is how fast it has happened. You put up the map for what the taliban controlled in april. What they controlled a month ago or a week ago versus today is astonishing. They have been able with speed to isolate kabul from all sides, and from a military perspective, theyve handled it masterfully. They Cut Off the north, historic of Northern Alliance fighters of afghanistan, cut it off, taken border crossings, they have been able to stop Flow Or Control flow in and out of the country. Then also as they move through each of the places, they gather up military equipment, free prisoners and are rolling out more fighters. As they get stronger, move through areas, Afghan Military gets weaker, unbelievable offensive to watch. And i think a lot of americans would watch this, wanting to know what happened, what went wrong. Theres an important distinction to make between the withdrawal and generally in the last 20 years. Based on your sources, what youre hearing, whats the assessment about how all this went down . I think the assessment is changing almost as fast as things on the ground are changing. The Assessment And Set of conditions that President Biden was looking at when he announced in april that he would essentially stick with former president trumps plan to pull out u. S. Forces but push back the final days of their departure a little bit, he was looking at a very different set of circumstances, yes, fewer than 3,000 American Forces would leave, but there would be by their estimate 300 trained afghan troops and lots and lots. Money left behind. Basically the bottom fell out of that opposition and in rapid fashion laid out, the taliban executed a real Military Coup here that they were clearly planning for all along. I dont know off the top of my head how the u. S. Intelligence assessment missed how quickly that could happen, but apparently they did, and the assessment changed in the last week to the fact to say kabul could fall in as little as a month. A stunning reversal. And happened exactly as u. S. Forces left. Now some forces are going back in, not for combat the pentagon says but to help americans get out. General, i have a lot to talk to you about, some of it, we can talk about why afghans arent fighting. Theres a Counter Argument to say if we havent been able to fix or turn it around in 20 years, another year, two years is not going to change afghanistans fate. Is there an argument about stopping the taliban from having a victory as opposed to turning afghanistan around. How would you make the argument to the White House what it has done has stret ened, embold end the taliban and other Terrorist Elements that may now flee to the region. Theres no real political support in the u. S. For remaining, thats not right. We have to understand there were less u. S. Troops with zero casualties than u. S. Embassy staffers. Now what we are seeing is predictable, tragic collapse of the afghan political system and military. I say predictable because u. S. Air power, intelligence, logistics, money, Special Operations were the glue that kept the afghan security forces fighting. The loirngs political leadership, theyre incompetent, corrupt and unraveling. What we will watch in the coming week or so is 8,000 u. S. Troops now deploying. Three infantry directly into the airport. Back up from 82nd Airborne going into kuwait. We have european and u. S. Contractors to get out of the city. It will be a dangerous time. Four miles from the Embassy Compound which i have been in a bunch out at the Kabul Airport. A dangerous situation. Going to be some of the most important Real Estate in coming weeks to keep an eye on. General, a lot of americans are wondering why the afghan government or troops are not fighting. I had a chance to pose that question to former afghan ambassador to the u. S. She said they want to fight but have been surrounded, Cut Off, are unable to get supplies to front lines in some of the Battle Fields or districts. Why isnt the u. S. At least bridging that Supply Gap so the afghans that want to fight can fight . I think his answer is nonsense. Afghan commandos, theres no lack of courage on fighters on either side. Certainly we are watching the cia Special Operations units that are afghan are incredibly effective and brave. But the notion that we have any leverage at all left is nonsensical. Were out. Bag Ram Air Force base is gone. I am bothered by the Mumbo Jumbo speak from state department, dropping to core diplomatic presence. Were getting out of there to avoid the unlikely outcome that the taliban will seize u. S. And other missions. Dont want to take the chance. Only thing were doing is leaving afghan stand. Millions of refugees flee into adjoining states. Women and girls go back to near virtual slavery, and vengeance will be reeked by taliban on those that supported it, not just interpreters, people that worked in the embassy, et cetera. Going to be a very difficult few months ahead. According to the pentagon, John Kirby didnt want to talk beyond August 31st when Troop Withdrawal was supposed to be complete, he was pressed on irony to send in troops to complete withdrawal of personnel and soldiers. Any indication the pentagon is looking beyond August 31st in sending more troops back if the president orders it . No. Yes. Obviously theres always a Chance Theyll be ready if they have to send more in, but the sense is that President Biden has dug his heels in on this. He has no intention of sending troops back in beyond this very narrow, tailored mission of getting americans some of the candidates out. The idea of extending Air Strikes beyond the 31st, seems to be no appetite for that. If the White House and President Biden change their mind on that, absolutely, the military could step in. They have the ability and i am sure they have plans ready. Theres no appetite for that. I have to touch on something. General mccaffrey Made A Point About Afghan Special Ops and commandos. Theyre well trained, capable fighters. The problem now that we are seeing around the country is they are stretched so thin, worn so down. Every time a place is under threat, they send them to major places, kandahar, and theyre worn out. They cannot stop the onslaught of taliban fighters that theyre taking on. Right now, the big concern that i think we need to watch for in coming days is as the taliban are on the doorstep to kabul, Afghan Military and commandos, will they be able to hold them off. The worry is if the taliban breach kabul, Theyll Head for the airport and will have Cut Off people, civilians, from leaving. Thats one of the major reasons we are seeing the deployment of u. S. Troops and other troops, the british military. People, other western allies are sending their military in to get their civilians out. And it is a concern that the Kabul Airport would be under threat if talibans get into the city, ayman. One of the three aspects of what John Kirby said the u. S. Went in to do, secure the Airport And Help american personnel. Thanks to you. Well continue the conversation in the coming days for sure.

This morning, a possible break through in Britney Spears fight to end conservatorship. Her father is willing to step down, but only when the time is right. Britney wants him charged with conservatorship abuse. She was overworked, forced to take lithium, barred from getting an iud removed. Jamie spears has been cast as the villain in all this. He is Hitting Back now it seems. Whats he saying . Yeah, thats right, ayman. For months now Jamie Spears has been the subject of attacks from Britney Spears as well as her fans, in court and online, accusing him of conservatorship abuse. Britney saying he enjoyed the control he exerted over her life as conservator. In yesterdays court filing, Jamie Spears Hitting Back, saying theres much the public doesnt know about this case. Let me read you part of what he had to say in court. Saying if the public knew all the facts of misspeers personal liech, not only her highs but her lows, all of the addiction and Mental Health issues she struggled with, all of the challenges of the conservatorship, they would praise mr. Speers for the job he has done, not vilify him. But Britneys Attorney shows no sign of backing down, saying he is going to continue his investigation into Jamie Spears and his handling of britneys 60 Million estate, and saying he hopes to depose him in the future. Ayman . Joyce, jamie is willing to leave, but that does not necessarily mean the end of the conservatorship that britney wants. Does this make it more likely she can get out of this or are we going to see Jamie Spears replaced by another individual . This is likely Jamie Spears trying to save himself as allegations of Mismanagement And Fraud surround him and britney now has a lawyer who can move forward and see proper investigation. The decision whether to end the conservatorship still lives with the Probate Judge in california. If he were to step down today, which doesnt seem to be what the statement indicates, he would likely be replaced by a new conservator that would have charge of her financials as he does. Joyce, britney wants him charged with conservatorship abuse. How would that go down in court and if theres any success to it, what are the consequences if one is found guilty of such abuse . California law is really interesting in this regard, ayman. There were a series of Landmark Investigative Reports done by Los Angeles times and Mercury News that led the legislature to reform the laws. Unfortunately there arent a lot of Enforcement Resources and those that exist are focused primarily on elder abuse. So it is an interesting legal landscape. Theres a possibility of civil actions against speers for mismanagement or intentional conduct that would amount to theft. If Theres Evidence that rises to level of theft, theres a possibility of some sort of Criminal Charge that would result potentially in sentence of imprisonment, opposed to simply a result that would require him to return money he took improperly from conservatorship. This goes beyond Britney Spears. She can be the face for people that dont have her capability to address abuse issues. Something similar happened with the Philanthropist And Socialite who in the 1990s, was a situation with brooke aster, her conservator was taken to task for mismanagement of her estate, and for a time raised profile of these issues. If Theres Action against Jamie Spears, that can help make the general public more activist protecting the elderly and dependent on conservatorship.
