The pentagon is moving 3,000 marines to afghanistan and another 4,000 troops to evacuate the embassy and u. S. Citizens In Kabul. Here is the urgency to leave afghanistan immediately using available commercial flight options. If you cannot afford to purchase an airline ticket, contact the u. S. Embassy for information regarding a loan. Given the Security Conditions and reduced staffing, the Embassies Ability to assist u. S. Citizens in afghanistan is extremely limited. Even withIn Kabul. There are haunting echoes of the evacuation of saigon in 1975 being voiced by supporters and detractors of the current president and harsh critique of the treatment of our friends and allies in afghanistan. David ignatius boats, for President Biden who had hoped for a orderly withdrawal if fr afghanistan, the chaos carries the image he wanted to avoid. And if the saigon parallels century disturbing enough, the New Yorker offered this, when i spoke on this with experts who have decades of afghan experie
white house has really been minimal at best since the discovery of these classified documents. you have president biden yesterday ignoring and shouting questions from reporters. twice at the white house and then for three days in a row this week, press secretary kareen jean pierre referred most of our questions about this topic to the justice department, the special counsel s office. she read statements from the white house counsel s office and reaction to the mishandling of these classified documents earlier this week. that is really essentially the posture that the white house has had since this was discovered. that is really the posture that green chunkier had when my colleague kristen welker asked her whether president biden would be willing to sit down with the special counsel if asked for an interview to be able to fully cooperate with the special counsel probe. take a listen to what she had to say. again, that is something that i do not have a magic wand here. i don
good morning from westminster. the bill giving theresa may the power to trigger the formal process of leaving the eu has cleared its final hurdle in parliament, and will now become law. the brexit secretary, david davis, said the uk was on the threshold of its most important negotiation for a generation. our political correspondent chris mason reports. contents, 118, not contents, 274, so the not contents have it. with those words the government achieved what the supreme court told ministers they had to, parliamentary approval to start brexit. the debates here in the house of lords and in the house of commons are, for now at least, done. one thing came out very clearly in all the debates. it is uncertainty that is bad for business, it is uncertainty that is bad forforeign nationals in the uk, it is bad for uk nationals resident in eu countries. i think the quicker we get on with this process the better. the house of commons had overturned two suggested changes to the plan s n

They re trying to investigate what happened, try to make sure january 6th doesn t happen ever again. there are a lot of trump officials who are saying they re not going to cooperate. this panel is obviously going to the federal courts to get favorable rulings to investigate into oversight. some could clearly go all the way to the supreme court. does the new judge disbelieves? it s going to create an optical problem for the high court. judges on the high court try to recuse themselves so that doesn t happen so there s no question. the supreme court unusual as being the one body of justices that isn t bound.
