Top of the hour. Thanks for staying with us. Im victor blackwell. And im alisyn camerota. We have just learned that President Obama will speak from the White House at 4 30 p. M. Eastern time. And that will be to explain his critical decision on afghanistan, that u. S. Troops will withdraw by that August 31st deadline. The president told world Leaders Today that the threat to u. S. Troops is the key reason for sticking to that initial date that was set in the agreement with the taliban. President biden, though, has asked for Contingency Plans in case he decides that the u. S. Needs to stay in the country longer. And the taliban, meanwhile, have reinforced their hard line today. They say they will not accept any extension of a u. S. Presence beyond that date, which is now one week away. And the taliban declared today, Afghans Cannot Leave and ordered the crowds at Kabul Airport to just go home. A few moments ago, a taliban spokesman said the roads to the airport are only open to foreigne
Island is under some sort of warning, whether its a tropical Storm Warning or a hurricane warning. New York City is under a tropical Storm Warning. Nantucket is also under a tropical Storm Warning.

It looks like instead of a direct hit on the eastern edge of long island, were now looking at possibly a direct Landfall Right on the border, right on the line of connecticut and rhode island. So thats an update here, with the 11 00 p. M. Update from the national hurricane center. Again, that will be a strong tropical storm or a low End Category 1. Once it makes landfall tomorrow afternoon, its going to meander across New England for 24 t

So im going to have to pay attention but if i can do the job, i will on sunday when the storm is there. Stay safe and keep your family safe. Everyone is thinking of everyone out there that needs to do the same. Were all in it together, l coats, were all in it together. Thats what they say and im waiting for humanity to act on it. You have to say it. Thank you, chris. Talk to you soon. Be safe. This is Don Lemon tonight. Im Laura Coats in for Don Lemon and in the past week, weve seen the collapse of the afghan government. The taliban takeover. The chaos at the airport as thousands and thousands of desperate people try to get on planes. Their only hope of escape, that as President Biden is holding Firm Today in his view that getting out of afghanistan was not only the right decision but the only decision. Committing to do everything he can to evacuate afghan allies and promising that any american who wants to come home will get ho home. Were going to do everything to provide safe evacuat
In for d. Lemon right now. It hasnt let up. A hurricane. Were all watching this. I hope people heed your warning better safe than sorry. Scary time. Ill tell you. In a weird way, the act of nature, the tropical storm is more predictable and more understandable than what is going on afghanistan. And how were making ourselves sick with this pandemic. Im torn. I got to see what this storm is going to do because i have to be there for my family. Long island is vulnerable. You lose power very quickly. Its hard to restore it. It gets wet. It floods very easily out there. So im going to have to pay attention but if i can do the job, i will on sunday when the storm is there. Stay safe and keep your family safe. Everyone is thinking of everyone out there that needs to do the same. Were all in it together, l coats, were all in it together. Thats what they say and im waiting for humanity to act on it. You have to say it. You got to say it to make it true. Thank you, chris. Talk to you soon. Be sa
