general kenneth mackenzie, the head of central command are cent. com said isis carried out the attack specifically isis k or isis correson and will likely continue to try and launch more attacks, adding that others have already been forwarded by security forces and cobble. the general went on to say that today's attack involved to suicide bombers detonating explosives outside the abbey date of the airport and nearby hotel. the baron hotel, followed by isis gunman, opening fire on civilians, men, women, and children, along with us troops and military personnel through warnings about today's attack. and it's certainly raises more serious questions about americans evacuation efforts . why it has become so incredibly catastrophic and also pass comments from president biden himself, about america's effort in afghanistan and the war ontario, as in this mission to degrade the chairs, tread about kind in afghanistan and kilo. some have been lot was a success. i believed that our presence and have gas dance should be focused on the reason we went, the 1st place to ensure afghans that would not

we heard scary numbers from general mackenzie yesterday at the pentagon briefing where they said they are now in the number of 2,000 hard core members, and that's due in large part to the fact that when the taliban rolled through many of the areas they opened up the prisons and many of the fighters got out. the more recent estimate for isis presence in afghanistan was somewhere in the 500 to 1,000, and at the end of the day it's not so much about the numbers of people who are there and fighters who are there, it's about their capabilities and desire. isis-k showed last week that even when a smaller presence they can still carry out these spectacular attacks in afghanistan. the concern is will they start to change their focus because overall both al qaeda and isis have this desire to attack outside the region. will they be able to grow and build to the point where they can actually do that again? that's what military leaders are concerned about, and that's what they are watching. we heard something very interesting from general mackenzie yesterday when he was talking about the threat,

and it's of course, mackenzie who said, who should be should be a portion to blame for this. and the question that i have really, where are they so dumb? how damaging is this for the by the ministration. clearly the president would have gone along with this if he thought it was going to and of such an absolutely pay or not math for him, but how, how much of this hurting him? oh, it will hurt him. it's a liminal event. i would say it's as important as 911. now the real danger of course, is that the people will accuse biden, there is a prospect that the republicans could capitalize on this. because the major media will not be able to tell the truth about what happened on fridays bought and gave an address and also feel a jonas questions regarding the situation. and i've got to start on decisions. washington, a taken in the run up to the fall of call last sunday. this was mounting criticism for all sides blood and tried to put a brace, face on it, and missing know that there's still a lot of uncertainty. so evacuated, mission is dangerous. it involves risks to armed forces and i

general mackenzie said isis remains a quote, extremely real threat and will try to carry out further attacks, something present and bite. and also agreed with today saying this was a mission designed for stress. and that was expected to come under attack and certainly that happened, as we know, he said at this point it does not appear. the taliban played a part in the attacks and that it's within the taliban interest for america to leave the country as well. he added that again while america will pressed ahead, with withdrawing and evacuating any and all us citizens and ask in nationals by august 31st. the august 31st deadline. he could not guarantee total security wasn't here. it sounds ridiculous, but the vast majority of people in communities like that want to come to america, given a choice. so getting every single person out is can't be guaranteed anybody because the termination or who wants to get out as well . and there has been entail sharing, and this was confirmed by general mckenzie, between us armed forces and also the taliban. so that said clearly, today's events though,

>> on your first question, bob, what i would tell you is coming out of general mackenzie's discussions with senior taliban leaders in doha, our commanders at the airport are in communication with taliban commanders on the ground outside the airport. there have been discussions, there is communication between them and us. and i would just let the results speak for themselves. i'm not going to get into the details of how those discussions are progressing, because there are interactions, multiple times a day and as the general said very well, there's been no hostile interactions from the taliban to our operations at the airport. >> the taliban is allowing it to proceed and they're cooperating in that regard? >> i let the results speak for themselves. we're not taking anything for granted. >> prior to august 31st? >> sorry, right now as the general made clear, the mission runs through august 31st. the commander in chief made it very clear that we were to complete this drawdown by august 31st, and which includes the drawdown of american citizens, the pulling out of american citizens and dra

and this is something that the con general mackenzie was also talking about. what at that entrance to abbey gate entrance to the airport and another at a nearby barren hotel? the question is how it was carried out. they said they're, they're continuing to gather the evidence to investigate exactly the circumstances . but what it sounds like is that there's this sewage drainage dish that did that horribly that runs along the side of the road and goes basically to that gate that hundreds of people, if not more wading through the, you know, the need deep water and that it's possible that this isis attacker basically mixed in with the crowd and a designated those explosives and that there are probably government by the sound of it also mixed in with the men women and children, many of whom were injured and many dad. and again that, that's all the exact numbers continue to come in. president vine and has been in the situation room at the white house, basically all day meeting with senior us officials, including sect, f, secretary defense austin, secretary of state

one comment from general mackenzie that stuck out today. watch. >> i will tell you the taliban have been very pragmatic and very businesslike as we've approached this withdrawal. they were very helpful and useful for us as we close operations, they established a firm perimeter outside the airfield to prevent people from coming on the airfield during our departure. >> 13 american dead and the centcom commander praising the taliban and. a response. >> of the taliban was such a good security partner that was carefully letting everyone who got close to our trip severe but i don't understand how a suicide bomber got through the other perimeter to our inner perimeter. these are the questions congress is going to be probing in the days ahead to figure out how we got into the situation where we had to cooperate with a barbarian group of outlaws in afghanistan to get american citizens out of the country. and now we are acting as if there's something we can be proud of or celebrate, that we cooperated with the taliban, we never should have gotten int

alexandra mackenzie, bbc news. cricket, and it was a dramatic final day in the test match between england and india at lords. england needed 272 runs to win. a short time ago, they were 120—8. our sports correspondent joe wilson reports. what would know you to lord's for the final day of a test match? cheap tickets, yeah, and sports ultimate appeal, anything could happen. that's mohammed shami, a specialist bowler on his way to 50. now, these were humbling runs for england. they put india 271 ahead. their captain declared, "now team, go out and bowl." stand by. rory burns caught, gone for nine. dominic sibley caught, also gone for none. both opening batsmen scoreless — in home matches for england, an all—time low. haseeb hameed, nine scored, lbw, yeah, out. now, the umpire decided johnny wasn't out here, but india called for a review, and the replay overruled the decision. you can normally tell when virat kohli is in a good mood. by the interim, they'd taken fourwickets, needed six more for victory. now, hang

but he was very keen on this book by alexander mackenzie because voyages from montreal to the pacific was a northwestern fur trader's account of traveling along the rivers and streams to the pacific ocean. and even though it was too far north into canada to be effective for year-round travel, this greatly intrigued jefferson because mackenzie had postulated to the british that they could take control of the entire fur trade of north america if they put a monopolistic control into something like either the hudson's bay company or the northwest company to take this over. jefferson did not want america to miss out on the fur bounties of the american west. he also wanted to have this utilitarian knowledge that the enlightenment demanded and expected. and with the 1800 election, he had now been catapulted into becoming the second president of the united states of america, third president, excuse me. and his geopolitical issues and intrigues with outside and inside forces almost compelled him to do something about it. so, he sends messages and diplomats to france to ask napoleon if he would

general mackenzie. based on the mission set and again, a narrowly defined mission to safeguard the movement of civilian personnel and to help process at an accelerated space special immigrant visas. so based on the mission, we sourced the mission. based on consultations with top military leaders, the secretary decided this is the appropriate amount right now and to have additional forces available closer in to theater if that was required. i missed your other questions. >> in addition to potential aircraft being sent into the country to help with the evacuation, is there additional equipment being sent to help with transportation or anything else at this point in time? >> we anticipate the use of additional military airlift as required and we're working through the requirements for that right now. these infantry battalions come with some measure of self-defense equipment. mortars, machine guns and of course personally carried weaponry. they have self-defense capability. i won't detail what each battalio

. >> let's listen to what gerald mackenzie said today about where we go from here. >> we continue to do that, that's not something that we're beginning now. we've done that all along. we will continue up until the last moment. >> unless the general is talking about the way the evacuation will continue, and general mackenzie seems to be processing today as a day in battle, where you have casualties, you have a losses and that doesn't change your objective. >> yeah, well we need to look at now as we shift from a military position to diplomacy, that's gonna be the inevitable outcome of where we're at, no matter how this ends, that we need to find a way the -- taliban and the united states forces have done terrible things to each other over the course of the past 20 years of war, and that has created a huge amount of bad blood on both sides. there's an inability to move beyond that. i don't know how are gonna create that approach, but we have to, because when we look at evacuating the afghan civilians that are then the americans that are, there we have a short deadline to do this, but we

but again, the general -- general mackenzie said today that they do expect that these threats will continue, whether it's from vehicle-born ieds, suicide bombers, or even rocket attacks. he even said that isis members have been shooting at departing aircraft. so these threats are ongoing. they're persistent. um, it's really difficult now that we have less of a troop presence on the ground to prevent against those. again, relying heavily there on the taliban to provide security. but the president and the administration have said they are determined, still, to complete this mission by august 31st. there is no surge of troops, for example, over the horizon here. >> the statement, depending on the taliban to provide security just gives you a sense of the absurdity of the situation. john harwood, in terms of goals, talk to natasha about strategy. will it change? you know, my hope is that we don't see u.s. marines or any troops on a phalanx out in front of the protective cover as we saw on that chokepoint where the bombing occurred. y but in terms of the goals, have you heard anything about all a

sometimes it will be white, mackenzie, sometimes it would even be shallow, right? if there weren't that many and we want super hide off in something. this is at a time where, you know, we, typically, we were handling, you know, maybe less than 20 books per day or something. mm . 25 years later, amazon no longer sends 20 parcels, but 14000000 a day. the company owns over 250 warehouses and delivered on 5 continents. i guess amazon success caught stacy mitchell's attention. she heads the institute for local self reliance research center, studying the evolution of the american economy. for the past 10 years, she's been closely monitoring the growth of the beast. amazon is like, it's like this invisible force. you know, it's got, it's tend to falls in so many aspects of the economy. there's nothing that amazon isn't trying to get into there. now the biggest clothing retailer in the us and they produce a lot of clothing. bookstores, toys, stores, hardware stores, kind of grown invisibly. it doesn't get noticed are covered by the media in the same way because it's not ph

it is in the interest, as mackenzie said, the interest of the taliban that in fact isis-k is not beyond what it is. number two, it is in their interest that we are able to leave on time, on target. as a consequence of that, the major things we have asked them, moving back the perimeter, giving more space between the wall, stopping vehicles from coming through, etc., searching people coming through. it is a tightly commanded, -- it is not a tightly commanded regimen that the u.s. is. they are acting in their interest. their interest. by and large, and i have asked the same question to military on the ground whether or not it is a useful exercise. no one trusts them, we are counting on their self-interest to continue to generate their activities. it is in their self-interest that we leave when we said and that we get we get is any people out as we can. like i said, if anything happened today, over 7000, we have gotten out over 5000 americans. it is not a matter of trust, it is a matter of mutual self-interest. there is no evidence thus far that i have been given as a consequence by any of

we don't take this for granted and i continue to be in daily contact with general mackenzie and commanders on the ground to make sure that they have what they need to keep it safe. my third area of focus, of course, is the pace. increasing the flow of aircraft and people out of kabul. we have flown out several thousand since the 15th of august and our goal is to be able to increase our capacity every day going forward. as we build out this capacity, we work hand and glove with the state department, which is leading the whole of government effort to notify and process american citizens who are leaving. and to urgently identify and process afghan applicants as well. we've dispatched small military teams to two of the airport gates to assist state department efforts as they evaluate and process individuals seeking entry. we expect to be able to augment that capability in the coming days. this is truly a team effort across the interagency. throughout all of this our u.s. service members are making exceptional efforts under challenging circumstances. showing their humanity and their compassion.
