Now, we dont know who the soldiers are or who is doing the shooting here but we do know this is apparently happening multiple times a day outside the airport. You see children in the area as well. President biden says as many as 65,000 afghan allies and families are still stuck in the country, along with up to 15,000 americans. The big problem, of course, is while the u. S. Controls Kabul Airport, the taliban controls all the roads leading into the area, leading to scenes like this with crowds gathered just beyond the walls. On wednesday, Defense Secretary Lloyd austin said there are no plans to use american soldiers to open a path to the airport. That left many afghans at the mercy of taliban fighters that control the roads, beating and whipping people trying to get in. Some cases, people managed to access the airport by climbing walls. You can see american soldiers helping a woman over the top, onto the airport grounds. As for evacuations themselves, the u. S. Says it is running abou
Facebook must review this decision in six months. The ban was justified by saying he was spreading election misinformation, before, during and after the attack. Lets bring in donny solomon. For all the hype for this independent Oversight Board, havent they essentially kicked the can down the road and punted the ruling back to facebook . Doesnt that defeat the purpose . Absolutely. This is probably a nightmare for facebook. Facebook went to all of these lengths to set up the board of purportedly independent experts, the Prime Minister of denmark, and others and everybody was expecting them to say facebook was right or wrong in suspending trump, and they came back and said yes, you were right to do what you did in the aftermath of january 6th, but in terms of suspending him forever, you have to figure that out. What we will see play out is a conversation and probably a lot of lobbying of facebook from democrats and republicans in terms of whether or not trump would be allowed back on or

Conference over the last several days it is clear that liz cheneys support has cratered, Elyse Stefanek has locked down enough support and that this would be the biggest shakeupch Republican Leadership that weve seen since john boehner stepped down as the House Speaker in 2015. Manu, what does congresswoman cheney have to say . Behind the scenes hes not moving to try to lock down support unlike in february in february when she survived an attempt to push her out. That time she spent time on the phone explaining her vote to impeach donald trump and eventually won a vote pretty easily in the House Republican conference. This time shes not doing that. Shes saying privately shes telling her allies she wont lie or stay quiet in order to keep her post and one person familiar with liz cheneys thinking told me earlier today that shes fighting this larger battle thats for the soul of the party and preserving the foundations of our democracy, so she sees exactly where this vote is headed.

Lets go to my colleague Cori Coughman joining me from stanford, connecticut. Welcome to you on this saturday. Is there any indication on timing as to when the j j, shots can resume . At this point there are so many questions.

The other big thing is scientists are trying to find the cause and the implications of what this means for the National Strategy for vaccinations. The white house is insisting that even though we have the National Pause for the third vaccine, the other two vaccines are on target and this will not affect the actual federal rollout of the vaccine. Dr. Fauci was with Joy Reid Last Night talking to her about why this should instill more confidence in the
