Heart-breaking Scenes at Kabul Airport as Parents Try to Hand Babies to Troops, Taliban Flaunt U.S. Weapons Read Transcript


- Jenna, President Biden gettingslammed tonight on Twitter

after nobody is having troublegetting to Kabul airport.

The Pentagon confirmed onlytwo flights have taken off

after a backlog ofrefugees grounded planes

for about eight hours.

Now the evacuation mission has resumed

as thousands of people waitto be rescued in Afghanistan.

(baby wails)

A major question tonight,when might the chaos ease?

(child screams)

(gunfire popping)

There seems to be nosign with ongoing scenes

of soldiers trying to contain crowds,

rushing to the airports

now their only hope ofescaping Afghanistan

as neighboring countriesclose their borders.

- I've been stuck herefor the past two days.

I'm trying to get in.

I went to the Americans,they pushed me out.

- Come and help.

Come and help, help, help!

- [Reporter] Women and children scream

for US-NATO soldiers to let them in.

Watch this heartbreaking footage

of parents pleading forsoldiers to save their child.

Another shows this baby beinghanded to military personnel

over the airport wall.

- The limiting factor isnot the lack of planes,

the limiting factor nowis actually the ability

to get people into the airportprocess and on the planes.

- [Reporter] As many as 15,000 Americans

and at least 60,000 Afghans remain

as NATO forces work to extend

the August 31st evacuation deadline.

- I cannot promise whatthe final outcome will be

or that it will be without risk of loss,

but as commander inchief, I can assure you

that I will mobilizeevery resource necessary.

- [Reporter] The WhiteHouse says 3,000 people

have been evacuatedfrom Kabul on Thursday.

- We've got additional consular officers

now at the additional gates

with additional troopshelping the consular officers.

- [Reporter] NATO keepingcommunications open

with the Taliban, hoping to preserve

some semblance of safetyas the country collapses.

Some military personnel fear

the Taliban will use Afghanistan

as a major training ground for terrorists.

- The minute that Bidendeclared his withdrawal,

the Taliban immediately declared victory

before anything else happened

and that was echoed byJihadists all around the world.

- Islamic extremists,seen here on Twitter,

flaunting a treasure trove of guns

left behind by Afghanand American soldiers.

Insurgents have also takenover 2,000 armored vehicles,

drones, even warplanesand Blackhawk helicopters.

Pentagon officials just confirmed

that baby that was given to the US Marine

has been returned to its father,

calling the moment that he took that baby

an act of great compassion.

Now, they had no commenton the second instance.

Meantime, the Underground Church there

says the Taliban isterrorizing the streets.

Not only are they threatening refugees,

they're going door to door,

taking women and children as sex slaves.

On of their biggesttargets now, Christians.
