To leave the country today. That said the goal is more like 5,000 today. However, just getting to the airport may be difficult or impossible for many. These next photos explain why, but we have to warn you first they re very tough to see. If you have children in the room you might want to have them turn away. Now. These photos were taken by a los angeles times photographer on a road packed with people trying to leave. You can see an injured child, lying on the pavement a woman also bloodied. He said taliban fighters use whoops and stricks and sharp objects on the crowd. He doesn t know why the talpen fired into the crowd and we don t know how badly they were injured. He said they re taking it up in talks through a channel with the taliban. A pentagon spokesman john kirby was also asked about it. Do those discussions with the taliban include talk about allowing americans or afghans through some of these taliban check points or even potentially expanding the perimeter around the airplane
Disaster zone. Tonight matt rivers is in one of those towns in southwest haiti 80 miles from the quake epicenter. Needs are great and devastation is everywhere. Reporter: as soon as we arrived to the hospital, so did this man on a stretcher. First responders brought him to the main hospital in the city of jeremy, a city that has no room for him. Inside, doctors and nurses are doing what they can to manage an influx of earthquake victims. So many have come in every single bed is full. So some are simply laid on the floor. There are broken arms and legs, crush wounds and falling debris. In the case of this 22monthold, a shattered femur. My daughter is suffering, her dad says. I don t want her to lose her leg. Dad said he pulled her out of the rubble himself. I love my daughter very much and i almost lost her. I m very grateful to these doctors working with their bare hands. It s horrific for everyone. Not far from the hospital, there is destruction on every block. Here, ordinary people a
Will the taliban let go? there have been instances where we have received reports of people being turned away or pushed back or even beaten. We are taking that up in a channel with the taliban to try to resolve those issues. And we are concerned about whether that will continue to unfold in the coming days. As things stand right now, what we are finding is that we are getting people through the gate, we are getting them lined up and we re getting them on planes, but this is an hour by hour issue. Thousands of troops rushed to afghanistan seem to have restored order at the airport after harrowing scenes like this one of afghans clinging to planes apparently later stowing away in wheel wells plunging to their deaths from hundreds of feet in the air. American personnel getting rid of sensitive materials destroyed the passports of some afghans possibly because it would have been dangerous for them to fall into the hands of the taliban. But of course it creates major problems for the afghan
2500 troops on the ground. Now we got a 7,000. His remarks today will be his first in public since the taliban stormed afghanistan s presidential palace and sat seized control of that country in just ten days. Video has been coming into fox news of citizens trying to leave the country, get away from the taliban. They have been flooding the tarmac where our planes are there to take people home. They are climbing up on top of the planes. On any flight to get away from taliban rule. Some desperately clinging as the planes took off into the air, falling to their deaths. The u. S. Has now suspended all remaining evacuation flights until they say they can secure that airport. We have details of some u. S. Forces having to take people out of favor shooting in crowds of afghan he citizens. The enemy shooting at them there, trapped. Our guys took some out. This is outnumbered. I m harris faulkner.

Soar, but put a pin in the headlines for a moment, because right in the same area this weekend, some 27,000 monster truck fans are expected to pack into a raucous arena, and how many are vaccinated and how many will wear masks? we don t know. And with back to school there very close, the florida governor has signed an executive order to pull funding from those schools requiring masks. And this is not meant to single is out florida, but it is the type of the two america s mentality that we are seeing across the country, and especially in the south and the midwest where there are lower vaccination rates. Yes, cases are going to go up before they come back down. This pandemic of the unvaccinated. I know that i have said it constantly and others have as well, the vaccinate of the unvaccinated. Today, 50% of all age groups are fully vaccinate and over 70% of u. S. Adults have at least one dose, and the vaccination rates are higher than a month, but there are 90 million people eligible for t
