but it starts with john montgomery ward. in 1890, he single handedly forms the players league which was in opposition to the national league and the american association. it became the third major league in baseball. it only lasted one year because even though he was able to attract a lot of star players to his league, they could not compete financially against the established teams in the national league and the american association and ultimately it fell apart after a year. but this was an early attempt among baseball players to control their own destiny to determine how much they were paid and how much they were worth. so from the 1880s on until 1947, major league baseball was played only by white men, but that starts to change. and we'll take a look at the negro leagues over in the next case. so for black players who were not permitted to play in the major leagues, a lot of them started their own barn storming teams. we have an example of a team here in the 1880s in danbury connecticut. foster establishes the actual negr

we have people who have on ward flights who have been turned back. we have people who don't have flights but they're on our list and they've been told to go back to kabul and wait. that's not acceptable. we need to bring people in and take care of them at the airport even if it takes several weeks. >> how do they get there? how do they get to the airport? >> we have some leverage with the taliban here, too. we obviously need a clear message to the taliban, do not interfere with our troops at the airport. do not interfere with people coming to the airport. the taliban want us to leave as soon as possible. and i think if we tell them we ain't doing that, if you want us to leave, cooperate with this evacuation effort. do not impede it. i think that's one way to get leverage. >> what about in clarissa was speaking to a young man who had perfect english who had the courage to say on international television i worked for the americans, which is brave, just shows you how desperate he is to get out but said he was turned back because -- it wasn't clear if he

cnn's chief correspondent clarissa ward is joining me live on the phone now from the airport in kabul. clarissa, what is the latest? what are you seeing. >> reporter: well, kate, we've been at the airport now for 12 hours and on the inner field for eight hours. and during the last eight hours, the time that we've been waiting here, we have not seen a single u.s. flight evacuate people. and so one u.s. flight took off about half an hour to an hour ago but it was filled with u.s. service men and women. the people who have been sitting on the tarmac for the last ten hours have not been able to get on a flight. which means, kate, because we did the whole process today, that all of the other bottlenecks are now even more choked because if the flights r aren't moving and the people aren't moving then they can't bring in more people. so what is emerging taking place here is -- it is a chaotic scene. you have people lying on floor, with babies and this is incredibly loud here, we're on an airfield and there is aircraft around, mothers trying to put their hands over baby's ears and it is one t

julia howe ward who wrote a poem at 2:00 in the morning at the willard hotel. and as she says in her own words, she took a stub of a pencil by the candlelight that was available to her and she wrote down what she says god gave her to write down. she showed it to her daughter the next morning and it was all scripture she had written down, but it formed a poem. and her daughter said mom, you should have this published. this is really good. so they did. they took it to a publisher and he published it. she created what we call today the battle him -- hymn of the republic. that one piece of paper she wrote, now considered one of the most sung hymns in the united states ever, we own. what you're looking at here is the original letter she wrote. in this area, we had music that goes with amazing grace and the battle hymn of the republic and other pieces of music that represent the struggle that was going on. so this is one of my favorites because it is a very unique story. many don't realize the words themselves are all taken from biblical text she said she was given t

want to go, next, to cnn's chief international correspondent, clarissa ward, in doha, qatar. clarissa, the white house said today another terror attack in kabul is likely. i know you have got some sc exclusive reporting coming up tonight on isis-k. knowing what you know, how likely do you think it is that they will attempt more during this evacuation? >> reporter: well, it's not just the u.s. who is saying it, anderson. there are several western allied intelligence agencies, all, warning of the same thing. that now is the time for increased attacks because at this moment in the evacuation, the u.s. is essentially at its most vulnerable. this is the moment -- um -- where you are sort of finishing the evacuations of personnel. and you are beginning the sort of picking up of your own equipment and departing. and that leaves you very vulnerable to attacks. you heard alex describe there about how the taliban had been pushed back. setting up that perimeter further away. you know, when we went to the airport just a week ago, anderson, you could just get by the taliban by waving your

that's what we're hearing, too, in the 9th ward. want to give you perspective where i am standing, shows you what's at stake. this particular levee failed in katrina in two spots, in the specific spot we are standing here. the waterway you see is a canal that feeds into the mississippi river. during katrina, this entire area flooded and 9th ward was completely devastated during katrina. behind this levee, you can see what's at stake. these homes, this is all new construction, wolf. all these homes were basically wiped out during katrina. this go around, speaking to folks out here in 9th ward, i wanted to find out from them whether or not they thought levees would hold. it is a mixed bag. some say look, we know what the city has done in terms of installing levees, fixing the system. they feel the best course of action is to leave. >> i was going to stay, i honestly was going to stay. my thing is there's enough money on it supposedly to keep it going, but i am ten feet up, so clearly i was going to stay. >> talking ten feet in the air

as we found out in the ninth ward they are still rebuilding. yes, 16 years later. they're trying to do it sustainably and fairly. 16 years to the day after katrina and the infamous ninth ward has less than 40% of their pre-katrina population. there are still houses -- >> yes. >> -- that are not back. >> yes. >> 16 years later. 16 years. >> yep. when you look at this house here for example, you kind of imagine what it looked like when i guess it was fairly new. >> reporter: arthur johnson knows the ninth ward's history and wants to change its future. >> this was the area historically that more white people lived in. black people were allowed to build on the lower nine, but on the other side, below sea level. >> reporter: those geographic inequities gave way to white flight in the 1960s and a suburban oasis in the city of new orleans was born. >> prior to katrina, the lower ninth ward was one of the top communities in the country, communities of color per capita of home ownership. >> reporter: and then, katrina. generational homes lost, and while today they are more

cnn's clarissa ward speaking to us a short time ago in the middle of this increasingly dangerous situation. >> reporter: we're about 200 yards, even less than 200 yards away from the entrance to the kabul airport. we just drove through it quickly. it's absolutely impossible to stop there. i say we drove through it quickly. you can't drive through it quickly. it's bumper to bumper. cars are barely moving. there are taliban fighters all around. we actually did see them physically -- trying to get them back. we have seen them and heard them a lot as well firing on the crowds to disperse the crowds. it's a little difficult to see from this vantage point and it's a slightly edgy situation so i don't want to push our luck. so all along the road side over there, there's just hundreds of people who are basically waiting, desperately trying to get out of the country. it's not clear if they have their paperwork in order, if they've been declined and told that they can't enter the gates, or if they simply don't have the wherewithal to get inside. a cameraman will is panning now. you can see it's a pr

one of the things i love is this another woman who went to work in the ward. she ended up working on a team with her brother and best friend who are all doctors as well. they were all in the covid wards together, and actually she fell sick with covid not long after starting. she was one of the people who did fall sick while treating covid patients, and one of the amazing things was getting to hear about the support she had from her brother and best friend she was working with, while she was dealing with her own case of covid and her covid patients. it ended up being she really talked about how close this work was for the doctors. when you are in the thick of things and in the trenches, i think having people you can lean on and understanding what you are going through in the way no one else really can is such an important thing. she was one of the people who really spoke to the kind of families and communities that formed in the hospitals over the course of the pandemic. >> emma, i hope you will forgive me. i will play editor here for a moment. for those of you

we have seen that on the ground with our clarissa ward, after u.s. forces shot and killed two men who opened fire at the kabul airport during the rush of people to escape. >> addressing the rapid fall of the afghan government, the president admitted that the collapse unfolded more quickly than he anticipated, but he stood firmly behind his decision to withdraw u.s. troops. he promised to help afghan allies escape but left many unanswered questions about how the u.s. can achieve that. former president george w. bush who brought the u.s. into the war almost 20 years ago, said he and the former first lady laura bush feel deep sadness over the events unfolding in afghanistan. cnn's clarissa ward who has been on the streets of kabul, our chief international correspondent, is there again this morning with more. clarissa, give us a sense of what you are seeing today. you knows yesterday was the first day of the so-called new islamic emirate. today is the second day. what's the difference? >> reporter: the taliban came out yesterday afternoon and basically t

our own colleague clarissa ward said this evening that nobody expected this could happen in 11 days. so as a result, the scenes that we're seeing are shocking and disorienting and you're seeing justifiable fear and panic among people who have good reason to be concerned for their lives. however we have not seen evidence of large scale loss of life. we have not had casualties among american troops. they have regained control of the airport in kabul. and the question is can they ramp up those evacuations over the next couple of weeks. 6,000 out so far according to the white house, something on the order of 60,000 to go. it's a very difficult challenge especially when you're dependent on cooperation from the taliban who are untrustworthy. the white house says they have some leverage, financial and otherwise, over the taliban so they'll try to sustain that. but the question is whether or not they can. and that test is still in front of us. as you indicated, president biden said he was not going to be bound by that august 31 deadline if there are still american citizens who they have not

after reporting from inside afghanistan for weeks, our clarissa ward and her team have made it out of the country. this is what it looked like inside their plane as they flew to qatar with about 300 afghan evacuees on board as well. now clarissa has since tweeted that they made it to djohar. before leaving, she filed this report on the conditions thousands are facing as they try to flee taliban rule. >> reporter: after three weeks in afghanistan, we joined the crowds at kabul airport, now the only way out of the country. >> there is a huge block here. lots of cars. >> reporter: hundreds of people wait in the blistering heat, hoping for a flight out. >> so we just managed to get into the airport compound, and i have to say, it was pretty intense. just like this crush of desperate people and screaming children and women and babies and, yeah, it's not often you really see desperation like that. >> reporter: the few people that do make it are exhausted and scared, but they're the lucky ones. they've made it past the taliban checkpoints, afghan security guards, and finally the airport gate

we want to bring in clarissa ward live in kabul. she's been reporting from there and watching the taliban takeo takeover. what are you looking to hear from president bide n in a few minutes? >> reporter: the question is what do people on the ground expect. people want answers. they want to understand why this withdrawal was done in such a hastty and chaotic way. they want know what will be done to help the tens of thousands of people who have worked closely with the u.s. military, who have worked closely with the u.s. embassy, worked closely with journalistic organizations like our own, who have worked closely with american and european ngos. there's a lot of anger and resentment here from people who did work with the u.s. they felt the execution of this withdrawal was handled so poorly. they plooef that the u.s. team were hoodwinked by the taliban. they they were not able to extract real meaningful concessions from the taliban side. it's a much more complex picture and it remains to be seen what leverage the u.s. has in talks and t

no guarantees, little optimism on these wards. for israel, this isn't so much about the rising case numbers, it's about what's happening in units like this all over the country. this is what will determine what israel does next. jenny hill, bbc news, tel aviv. now it's time for a look at the weather. here's darren bett. hello there. even where we've seen some sunshine today, it's not felt particularly warm thanks to that northwesterly wind. and it remains on the cool side through the rest of this week, a lot of cloud coming our way, the chance of a bit more rain and drizzle as well. and after some sunshine for eastern areas this evening, overnight, we're going to find the cloud coming back in again from the west, thickening up, a bit more rain and drizzle on the way overnight and some mist and some hill fog in the west as well. mild night with that increasing cloud, milder than it was last night in the northeast of scotland. it starts quite cloudy for most of us, i think, during tuesday, and we've got this rain and drizzle around.

. -- wards are overwhelmed. >> good to be with you. your weather story for asia coming up in a moment. let's start in australia because there is not a lot to talk about. a bit of instability toward that southeast portion. 12 degrees, fresh air in play. we will talk about fresh, chilly, cold air in new zealand. we could see wins up to 130 kilometers per hour for the capital region with enough to serve. that could -- surf. that could cause some damage. psaki for both islands. -- soggy for both islands. snow at the higher summits. 15-30 centimeters can be expected. the rain is starting to back off a little bit here. some heavier pulses on tuesday. for indochina, we will get some dry spells across bangkok and a mix of sun and clouds over the next few days. it is not looking good for southern japan, they are getting this plume of moisture pushing in in these areas -- in for these areas on tuesday. that is your weather. >> bulgaria, the poorest nation in the european union is rocked by corruption, seemingly link to the upper echelon's politi

our clarissa ward spoke with an isis-k commander before the carting twags -- attack. why he turned against the taliban and what happen his group is hoping to do once other nations pull out of afghanistan. >> reporter: two weeks before the attack, just days before kabul fell to the taliban, we were in touch with a senior isis-k commander who said the group was lying low and waiting for its moment to strike. words that turned out to be eerily prophetic. so this commander has said that he'll do an interview with us at a hotel here in kabul, and he says it's no problem for him to get through checkpoints and come right into the capital. to prove his point, he let us film his arrival into the city. abdul maneer, as he asked to be called, is an isis-k commander from kunar, the heart of the terrorist group's operations. he agreed to talk on the condition that we disguise his identity. in a kabul hotel, he told us he's had up to 600 men under his command. among them, indians, pakistanis, and central asians. like many of his foot soldiers, he used to fight with the taliban but

jonathan: -- tom: that has been the howard ward mantra for years. growth is the new value. what is the value trap after that 2023? what is the trap you see? howard: i think the market got very excited about the potential for earnings growth. i am not saying that is going away. it is simply that stocks like caterpillar should be an obvious beneficiary of the infrastructure package and also benefiting from the reopening trade and booming housing market construction, i get the market -- as we saw what this most recent batch of earnings, whether it is amazon or some of the others, the market has discounted significant earnings growth. my perspective is, it is still not where it should be. earnings expectations are still too low for the market overall. when you look at some of the cyclical fervor is going to come down, and to some of that reopening trade and hospitality might be put on hold. i would be careful with the number of stocks, whether they are transportation or hotels. while i do not think we are going back to a countrywide lockdown,, on a regional basis, on a state-by

there was a pause that happened for about eight hours, clarissa ward reported. the president says this was to make sure that they could process arrivals at sites, that was the reason for the pause. what's the cnn reporting? what's your reporting on the cause for the pause? >> very quickly, it does appear that flights are resuming to some extent. they had to shut them down because they had something like 10,000 to 15,000 people inside kabul airport. they could not put them on planes because those planes had nowhere to land where they could unload that many passengers for processing in the third country. the site in doha, qatar, is getting full. we are led to understand that a site in germany is opening up, and they will again be able to fly people out. but you know, another day when military planning doesn't seem to match the reality on the ground, because outside the gates, people are still pressing so desperately to get inside, get processed, and get on a plane. i have to tell you, victor, the thing that the president said that we knew nothing about, publicly,

i saw k has claim responsibility for the twin, bombing, followed, warding from nato countries. and the taliban at attack was imminent, shells profitable and explains the situation around the f for the security situation down there. so that's all i'm saying is, is, is much improved. we know that they put more resources into it today, a lot of finger pointing we saw yesterday between the americans and it's all about about who was responsible for letting the suicide attack as suicide bombers into the crowds. it's all about saying now that they are going to man watchtower is not only around the airport here in cobble, but other airports around the country. the bloss at the airport also killed 13 members of the us military president joe biden is about to strike back against. it's responsible and he's promised the evacuation operation will continue despite the violence. turkeys president, rest of type heard. one says his country has held its 1st talks with a taliban odo, and is assessing the groups request for turkey to run a couple airports after western forces withdraw. the taliban

nbc's jake ward is there tonight. >> reporter: overnight, the caldor fire outside sacramento exploded, doubling in size. >> this area is extremely hard for us to get into. >> reporter: in california, 31,000 residents are under evacuation orders. at least two civilians were injured in the fire, which remains entirely uncontained. >> we are seeing generational destruction of forests because of what these fires are doing. this is going to take a long time to come back from. >> reporter: gusty winds and dry drought conditions creating a dangerous situation, destroying numerous homes and property this classroom used to belong to the elementary school students in this small town it's a reminder that wildfires don't just touch down in remote areas. increasingly, they are sweeping through our lives. residents racing to get out and making their way to safety. >> it's just very -- it's sad what's happening. >> it's hurting my heart right now because as i'm driving up here right now, if this is the last time i ever see this area, it will be heartbreaking. >> reporter: these satellite images from

ward was just talking about local staffers who would make food in the kitchen. from kabul to doha to london to d.c. have been struggling to get people out of afghanistan. they worked together and went public to get u.s. government help this week. the journalists said that effort is finally complete. other u.s. efforts have been doing this without saying anything publicly. i can now report that cnn quietly helped ten afghan colleagues leave the country in the past few days. many other newsrooms are working on the same thing. this is -- from what i'm hearing, this is excruciating and emotionally draining work, but it is necessary work. so as journalists evacuate and exit afghanistan, how will the world know what's going on inside the country under taliban rule? as the "washington post" put it, how to cover afghanistan now? for answers, let's go inside tola news, afghanistan's television network. tola news has committed to independent coverage, but will they be able to do so? the head of tola news, what are your kabul employees experiencing day to day now that the

i good to teach you both the teacher in ms. ward. and i was just because i want them that you didn't while were being said, well, you gotta information requested to be put in you. i don't think you know, definitely what place you've been brought down on. people seem okay that this is very, very valued. mm . what we tell everyone when they come for the training, you don't only lynn, you also need to spread what you've learned. and it's interesting to see how for like michael and brisco take on the instruction and then turn it into something that you actually leave out. and so when i asked them, i wasn't surprised by the way to hear one of the reasons that dream, that is because they push it to e g. we are going to project more than that. yeah. that me id projects from being being me a b, b all me in my area are better among the reading mind. oh yeah. me. i don't like perfect. so when i'm in the car, what i do then it'll come up on the social media conversation that are up. and because i believe that, you know, in this time and age is
