President Biden said there was "no consensus" in intelligence reports on Afghanistan when he claimed in June it was "highly unlikely" the Taliban would take over the country after U.S. forces departed, later saying that it had happened much quicker than he anticipated. The President maintains there is nothing he would change about the American withdrawal from Afghanistan. The Pentagon today admits the evacuation effort in Afghanistan is not going fast enough. They are to open up one gate at Hamid Karzai airport which the U.S. Military will oversee and also rush U.S. Consular Officers to the airport to process the Afghans’ paperwork to get them onto flights. Along with 45 of her Senate Colleagues, Senator Hirono has signed onto a bipartisan letter urging the Biden Administration to protect Afghan women leaders in the wake of the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan.

The White House lays out the case for Covid-19 vaccination booster shots being available from September 20, with The Surgeon General saying the available data proves third shots are necessary because the vaccine wanes over time and also because the delta variant is so virulent. There is rage and desperation in Afghanistan with thousands of Americans still stranded in the country, plus thousands more Afghans who trusted American promises to get them out. The Biden Administration admits it is relying on the Taliban to guarantee safe passage to Hamid Karzai airport for Americans and Afghans alike. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has tested positive for Covid-19, according to a statement from his office, following footage of the Governor at an indoor political event on Monday, mingling in a maskless crowd, contrary to CDC guidelines. Broward and Alachua Public Schools continue to defy Governor Desantis’ ban on mask mandates.

The Pentagon attempts to speed up evacuations for as many as 10,000 Americans still in Afghanistan, with the aim to airlift 5,000 to 7,000 passengers out per day. The Pentagon revealed in a briefing a short time ago they are in regular communication with the Taliban. Today the Taliban promised amnesty to Government workers and said they would not victimize women, as old fears of brutal rule, especially for women have roared back to life. In a bid for international legitimacy, the Taliban are trying to convince the United States and the rest of the World that they will abide by international norms including respect for women's rights, protecting women, and the Afghans who worked with the Afghan forces against them. What behaviours could be expected from the Taliban in the future? The Government is poised to recommend a coronavirus vaccination booster shot once the FDA reviews the available preliminary efficacy data. Millions of Americans could be eligible for a third shot as early as next month. On tonight’s panel: CNN’s Barbara Starr, CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, Jackie Kucinich of the Daily Beast, CNN Political Analyst Laura Barrón-López, Craig Whitlock of The Washington Post, CNN Presidential Historian Douglas Brinkley, Afghanistan Veteran Kristen Rouse and Megan Ranney Professor of Emergency Medicine at Brown University.

As President Joe Biden prepares to address the Nation, former U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta joins to discuss the Presidents’ recent comments on the Taliban’s take-over of Afghanistan not being inevitable, and how the intelligence community appear to have underestimated the speed at which the current situation in Afghanistan has escalated.

CNN Medical Analyst Dr Leana Wen joins to discuss the facts on how much extra protection a booster shot gives those who have already been double vaccinated.
