get more of a westerly component of those winds now the air quality around the bay area has been suffering, of course because of all the fires burning around the state. occasionally. we'll get more of a northerly component, a win. and that brings more smoke in the bay area today. not that bad. and then tomorrow she doesn't look that bad to me either. we'll see a little smoke out there, little haze. but you know, it's love that blue showing up on our computer models in the smoke tracker. that's looking pretty good on the north bay. we do start to see some yellow showing up by late in the day. all right. they're quality mother. you go into the tahoe area right now. they've actually got some green haven't seen that in about a week or in and around the fire, you're still looking at some orange is a very poor air quality. the bay area, though a different story. we've pretty fresh air begin to move in right now. but again, overnight tonight things will settle out and then we'll start to see some more of that smoke in our skies by the afternoon. here's a major hurricane. this is larry spin around out there. look at that swirl. all those wind just now. it looks like the storm system going to get very close to bermuda as we head to the next couple days to stay winds

air points with american citizens on them as i speak. also with these interpreters and the taliban is holding them hostage for demands right now. the top republican on the house foreign affairs committee, texas representative michael mccaul commenting sunday on reports that taliban is not allowing evacuation flights to leave afghanistan to find ourselves in this very. >> precarious, dangerous situation where the taliban is now dictating terms to us or they're dictating the terms of our exit strategy in published reports. a former marine corps officer who coordinated 3 of those charter planes in mazar. sharif says that is not the taliban grounding the planes yet the state department issued a quick response to representative mccall sunday afternoon saying, quote, we will hold the taliban to its pledge to let people freely depart afghanistan as with all taliban commitments we are focused on deeds, not words. even with the taliban taking control of several strategic

districts in the northern palm. sure. valley, the biden administration saying they have a different kind of power we have an enormous amount of leverage, including access to the global marketplace which is not a small piece of leverage to the taliban who are now overseeing large swaths of afghanistan. administration also saying they're working to keep their commitment to get many of those out who were issued special immigrant visas or s ivy's for having aided the americans during the last 20 years were in close communication with our. >> sources in our contacts in afghanistan to try to get side these out to get them out safely communication to continue with the highest levels this week with us secretaries of state and defense anthony blinken in lloyd austin departing separately on sunday for the qatari capital for talks with mideast leaders aimed at keeping a day. >> any research and threats and showing the different kind of us presence in the region. again, that was michael shure reporting an east bay nonprofit hosted a fundraiser today. >> to help afghan refugees

during what they call a critical and urgent moment and their mission started with the war 20 years ago. but the need, of course, has ramped up in the last month as the taliban as, more power in their former home craft was ella sogomonian is here. she has details on how these immigrants are getting hill ella. well, this nonprofit has a variety of services for. >> refugees from all over the world. but they do specifically focus on the afghan community. so the help that they serve comes in many forms from airport pickups to eirolling kids into school to housing and today's event focused specifically on furnishing those homes. the jewish family and community services organized a call to action, which was answered today. as you can see in this video, people dropped off all kinds of household items at a storage unit in walnut creek for big families that are moving into small units twin size beds and mattresses are really a big help, a court in 8 or tells me that the need now is greater than ever as u.s. troops have pulled out of

afghanistan. people there who helped our military, whether it be translators or even those who served meals on base have been targeted by the taliban. so they're on track. now to triple the number of free settlers here. we have resettled 77 individuals in the month of august. >> and to put that in perspective, 77 is about what we would normally do in 6 months. so we've done a 6 months worth resettlement in one month. i do know that for the month of september. we are expecting at least 100 more individuals to arrive. so so some families are, you know, on other families are mom, dad. and you know, 4, 5, 6, kids. >> there is a sense of relief for these people. but as dotson explains refugees are still anxious for the loved ones who couldn't come here with them. they are coming to specifically live in places like concord where there is a huge afghan community that already exists refugees resettling are eligible for

this aid if they arrive on a special immigrant visa. this group, the nonprofit typically helps about a 135 individuals in one year. so again, such a difference now and finding a place to live is pretty hard. even for locals here, let alone the refugees outside the bay area without a financial track record. so the jewish family and community services has been asking for co-signers to leases to these apartments. that's a pretty big ask, but they are getting volunteers. if you'd like to help in that way or just to donate you can reach out to that nonprofit. we have posted up their links up on our website. kron 4 dot com pan. back to love. thank you for that. the white house says president biden will visit ground 0 in new york city. the pentagon and the memorial outside shanksville, pennsylvania, where united flight 93 was forced down. >> president biden will be accompanied by first lady jill biden on september 11th. we will have live team coverage of the day's events and our weekend newscasts and our
