bbc weather�*s chris fawkes told us more about the storm. hurricane henri will make landfall across the north—east of the united states on sunday. 0ver recent hours the storm has picked up energy as it has worked across warm waters of the atlantic gulf stream. it is being driven around an open area of low pressure, sending it in a north—westward direction. landfall is expected around long island but there will be impacts elsewhere, rhode island, massachusetts newjersey and into connecticut with damaging wind, and as well as that, torrential rain will cause flooding problems. after that the winds calm down and the rain will eventually accelerate towards the eastern parts of canada over the next few days. so hurricane henri no doubt bringing back uncomfortable memories from hurricane sandy that hit much the same area in 2012. damaging gusts of wind, 250 millimetres of rain causing flooding in itself but as well as that, coastal communities will be watching out for a storm surge. that could be around 3—5 foot high, bringing inundation to

our chris cuomo is on long island for us. chris. >> reporter: fred, good to be working for you today. we're in east hampton on the southern shore of long island right off new york. we're here because this was the fear of concern path early on, a beach front community, reminiscent of super storm sandy. did not happen, not going to happen. that was a hurricane that bounced off new jersey and then came here. new york will not be directly impacted by this. there will be flooding. we do have some power outages. now it's about time, this storm. as fred was laying out to you, there is a stall. why? because when storms go over land, they slow down and can change direction. henri has been the storm, if you're going to characterize it, as the storm that couldn't make up its mind. it's been changing paths. it hitting rhode island and newport is very different from where it originally made landfall which is the tiny island of block island. a thousand san, maybe 2,500 people in season, a beautiful place. it's hard to get to. we'll be hear

chris cuomo has a lot to say, but right now he cannot say it. cnn management has made two things clear to him, one, that he can't talk about his brother andrew cuomo on tv, and two, that he can't participate in any more strategy sessions with the governor's aides. if you're wondering why chris has remained silent about the scandal, that is why. this week i have been doing media reporting on the angle of this scandal, which means talking to staff at cnn about chris cuomo, the governor's brother at all times. these people i'm talking with are my colleagues, of course, and i assured them they can speak honestly and candidly. what i found is a more implicated story than you might think. this has been a conundrum for k cnn that has more to it. some think it was wrong for chris to interview his brother. a famous governor in the news, who went to the highest heights last year and now to the lowest lows. self-inflicted wounds. and a brother who just wants to do his job, just wants to anchor his show. but can he? that's the key question. this week chris

i'm fredicka whitfield in atlanta along with chris cuomo on long island. this is coverage of tropical storm henri. parts of the east coast are already feeling the impacts of this extremely dangerous storm. imminent landfall is expected in rhode island. you're looking at a live picture from newport. 40 million people are in the storm's path. tropical storm warnings in effect from long island to cape cod. chris. >> fred, thank you very much. i'll tell you more about what's happening. the story in new york is a light story. we have one part of the storm cell is stalling over new york city right now. that increases the chance of flooding. we mow the story from last night, a lot of rainfall in areas that weren't expecting it, three, four, five, six inches. the main area for us will be in about an hour. that's when henri will make landfall. about 100,000 people without power, only 2,000 in new york. the bulk in rhode island as fred was referring to. about 65, 66,000. that's going to increase. connecticut, about 12, 15,000, that's going to likely increase. we'll

i'm chris cuomo. this is a special, live, late-night edition of "cuomo prime time." and we are doing it because it is 8:30 on friday morning in kabul, where our evacuation mission goes on despite a day of truly profound tragedy. deadly attacks that took the lives of 13 u.s. service members thursday. injured 18 others. some, very seriously. we are also hearing that as

i am chris cuomo and welcome to "prime time." let's look at that of the last service member to leave afghanistan today. this will be in history books. pentagon just put it out. they say the war has ended. army major general chris donahue. commanding general of the 82nd airborne boarding a c-17 to depart kabul. lifted off at 11:59 p.m. local. just before the clock struck midnight. so, that means it's august 31st in afghanistan right now. right? remember that date. arbitrary. set by the biden administration. it's about 5:30 in the morning there now. the taliban knows the united states is gone, and is celebrating with gunfire. now, their government can tell us that the war has ended. and they can put out the picture of the last soldier, they say. but we all know it isn't over. okay? two reasons. now, what we do know that is true is that america has lost the last clear chance to cut a different deal. or to maintain a force in afghanistan until everyone is out or to reclaim the bagram air base to secure exits, and to keep an eye on on

in atlanta along with my colleague chris cuomo on long island. this is a special cnn live coverage of tropical storm henri. henri is hitting parts of the northeast after making land fal in rhode island less than two hours ago. look at the images out of new port, long island. henri is dropping a staggering amount of rain in many parts. winds are beginning to whip up, threatening to down trees and power lines. chris cuomo is on long island. what are you experiencing there? >> reporter: here we are in east hampton. happy to be working for you today. the story here is duration. first, the headline is new york got lucky here. we were worried about another superstorm sandy. the hurricane that was a category one that hit new jersey and bounced in new york. it had so much flood surge that came along with a tidal surge from a moon tide. here we were, again, seeing the track of henri coming and basically the same direction and a moon tide once again in the lunar cycle. that's why there was so much concern. but henri, if it's going to be remembered for some

want to hand things over to chris for "cuomo prime time." chris. >>> all right. thank you. i'm chris cuomo. welcome to "prime time." the covid-command center. the government is moving in the direction of getting us ready for booster shots. here's what we know. the fda says it could lay out a national strategy for vaccine-booster shots sometime early-next month. are they certain? no. are they certain we need it? no. why? data. and they have concerns, but the current data, which they haven't really adjusted for the delta variant, still, very promising. moderna vaccine. 93% effective, through six months after the secon

do you think chris cuomo should talk about this? the rule has been he doesn't talk about his brother on tv. >> he absolutely has to. the show is ""cuomo prime time."" it's primetime. the viewers expect him to talk about it. he's been off the air, and before that he was radio silent about this issue. it's the biggest political scandal of the year. if he doesn't talk about it, it becomes a bigger story for him and for cnn. >>> you broke the news this week that rachel maddow might be leaving msnbc. you said she's seriously thinking about leaving wiechlt? >> my colleague and i broke the story. let's be clear, this isn't about the money for her. this is about a more balanced lifestyle. she's had talks about starting her own thing that would cost podcasts and streaming and potentially newsletters. as you know as you were chasing the story, she's dead serious. this wasn't a plant from her representatives. in fact, i think they would have preferred if we didn't write about it. this isn't a bargaining chip or negotiating tactic. she's deadly

i am michael smerconish in for chris cuomo. welcome to the primetime covid command center. we have finally crossed the halfway mark but still a long way to go. can't stop now. half the u.s. population now fully vaccinated. nearly seven months after the vaccine rollout began. that's 165 million completely imm immunized, 193 million with at least one shot. new vaccinations are up 11

let's hand it over to chris for "cuomo prime time." chris. >> thank you, anderson. i am chris cuomo and welcome to "prime time." here is the good news. the administration is now on message. all americans must be evacuated from afghanistan. but can they make it happen? that question looms as we are learning more about the truth. and the truth is this chaos was not inevitable. our secretary of state was warned by his own people on the ground in kabul of possible catastrophe in afghanistan. when was he warned? a month ago. a month ago he was urged to take swift action to get the afghans who have been helping us out of the country. cnn has learned about the classified cable to tony blinken signed by more than a dozen u.s. diplomats in mid-july which laid out how the state department could speed up the process of afghans applying for s.i.v. or refugee status because they knew afghanistan was falling fast. again, they knew afghanistan was falling fast. according to department officials, those diplomats now feel their warnings were ignored. now, what is the key here? the k

want to hand it over to chris for "cuomo prime time." chris. >> you know, anderson, you have a big night tomorrow night with the concert. but i'm looking at the storm track. there is a chance that you and i may be spending some quality time together on sunday, maybe even monday. depending on how hard this hits. you know, just -- >> i'd love to see you but i hope that's not true. >> well, look, we could find a better occasion. but, you know, the last real hurricane that hit, you know, was a category 3. it was in 1938. >> i know. i know all about it. and it kill add lot of people in west hampton. >> yeah. right. right. right. you know the area well. the long island express hurricane, they called it. went up into new england. it created the inlets that are now all the way down the island. you know, mo ntauk. so hopefully, this is nothing like that. but this has people on edge and we are watching it obviously and i will be watching you tomorrow night, my brother. be well. >> you, too. >> i am chris cuomo and welcome to prime time. there are

want to hand things over to chris for "cuomo prime time." chris? >>> all right. thank you. i'm chris cuomo. welcome to "prime time." the covid command center. the government is moving in the direction of getting us ready for booster shots. here's what we know. the fda says it could lay out a national strategy for vaccine booster shots sometime early next month. are they certain? no. are they certain we need it? no. why? data. and they have concerns, but the current data, which they haven't really adjusted for the delta variant, still very promising. moderna vaccine 93% effective through six months after the second dose. pfizer, 91% effective after the same timeframe. j&j, one-dose vaccine, right? provides at least eight months of immunity. but again, these findings predate the delta variant. and we are now told the vaccines don't stop delta from spreading, completely. and at this rate, because we're not getting vaccinated quickly enough, we may need to extend our fight against the pandemic, which means extending our protection. which means we may need to do something to enh

i want to hand it over to chris for "cuomo prime time." chris? as always i'm chris cuomo and welcome to "primetime" 13 u.s. troops, mostly marines killed today in the worst loss of american life in ten years in afghanistan. remember them, imagine being their families. if you know any of them, help them. if any of them are watching right now, please know we all owe you for what you and your loved ones gave for the rest of us. and know this, you are not part of the problem that surrounds this situation. you are the one aspect that all can agree on and appreciate as part of the solution. not the problem. so think of our men and wome

i'm going to hand it over to chris for "cuomo primetime." >>> thanks. i'm chris cuomo. welcome to "prime time." we have tony fauci to make on the vaccine confusion and mask madness. but first, afghanistan. you have seen our reporting and others. you know the desperation on the ground, it's obvious. you know the americans are not sure if they'll bring them home. the question is what will our government do about that reality? that is our focus here. and the answers so far, frankly, are too slow and too little. how can you accept the state department warning as many as 15,000 americans stuck in taliban country they can't ensure safe passage to get them to the kabul airport and fly them out? you must demand that the mightiest force on the planet does not surrender its own to this kind of fate from a bunch of zealot thugs. [ gunfire ] >> that's what you want your countrymen to surrender to? the state department should not be warning the desperate. the warning is a desperate one to the state department and this administration. you had been do what you have to to get americans

i'm chris cuomo. welcome to "prime time." we're focused on covid here, at least until we get the delta variant under control. there is an increasing response from leaders and citizens. the president today went after specif ste

be well. >> you, too. >>> all right, i am chris cuomo, and welcome to primetime. there are two things i'd like to make clear. one, to all the veterans who questioned what this withdrawal from afghanistan means about your incredible sacrifices. first, please know this. we have been safer because of you. thank you. i've covered this war against an idea since 9/11. i was there that day. i was scared in a way i never thought i could be. i watched you pakistan, iraq and afghanistan from there and here. if i were told in 2001 that they would not get us again in any major way for close to 20 years i would have never believed it. but your work, your commitment, your sacrifice, you, you brothers, your sisters, your families, was a huge pillar in the bulwark of protection for this entire country. it is hard to see how we would have ever been this safe this long if you had not done what was done in afghanistan and elsewhere. now, it remains to be seen how the biden administration can keep america as safe without a presence there. that is worth concern. but please have your g

i'm chris cuomo. welcome to "prime time." we're focused on covid here, at least until we get the delta variant under control. there is an increasing response from leaders and citizens. the president today went after specific state leaders to change course. >> some governors aren't willing to do the right thing to beat this pandemic. i say to these governors, please help. if you aren't going to help, at least get out of the way. >> now, biden targeted the governors of florida and texas who both are republicans, but it's about banning mask restrictions in what he sees as acts of political defiance. what we know is those two states account for a third of all the cases in the united states right now. f florida leads the nation in hospitalizations, breaking its own record with 10,000 covid patients in a single day. texas is second in line with more than 6600 hospitalizations. remember, hospitalizations are a lagging indicator. you have to have cases first and then a small percentage of them become hospitalizations. so that tells y

anderson, have a good night, brother. >> thanks, chris. >> i'm chris cuomo. welcome to the prime time covid command center. we're going to be tracking this variant and our movements all the way through, better or worse. we start the week with good news. there's been a steady rise in the pace of vaccinations recently. take a look at your screen. especially in states that had been lagging the most. that's the best part of it, okay? the states lagging most are stepping it up the most. great. seven-day daily average of new people getting vaccinated is over 400,000 in the last week. but we're paying the price for waiting so long. deaths have increased more than 25% in the last seven days. that's not going to stop any time soon. the average daily counting of new cases up 44%. not going to stop. the one to watch, hospitalizations. remember, capacity. do we have the capacity? it's going to be a big theme tonight. a lot of people in the health care sector are very worried with this 41% rise week over week because they don't have the beds. the five states faring the wo

cuomo. let's go to our senior legal affairs correspondent paula reid. she's in new york tracking the story for us. so, paula, update our viewers on the very latest. >> well, good evening, wolf. governor cuomo faces mounting pressure from democrats not only the president but also his states to u.s. senators to resign in the wake of this report, that details a pattern of sexual harassment, unwanted touching and a culture of fear and intimidation that silenced would-be accusers. tonight the new york attorney general's office says governor andrew cuomo sexually harassed multiple women and violated federal and state laws. >> the investigation found that governor andrew cuomo sexually harassed current and former new york state employees by engaging in unwelcomed and nonconsensual touching and making numerous offensive comments of a suggestive and sexual nature that created a hostile work environment for women. >> reporter: the attorney general tapped former federal prosecutor joon kim and an emplo

i'm chris cuomo. this is a special, live, late-night edition of "cuomo prime time." and we are doing it because it is 8:30 on friday morning in kabul, where our evacuation mission goes on despite a day of truly profound tragedy. deadly attacks that took the lives of 13 u.s. service members thursday. injured 18 others. some, very seriously. we are also hearing that as many as 60 afghan citizens were killed, over 120 injured. m many, gravely. it's the deadliest day for our forces in the country in a decade. so what will daybreak bring for heroes on the front lines? again, a lot of afghans were hurt. a lot of afghans are afraid. a lot of afghans and the american troops know that what happened just hours ago, claimed by isis-k. this new off-chute of a well-known terror organization could happen again. and crowds are forming and the desperation to get out is winning over their fear of staying away. and president biden is vowing revenge. >> and we're outraged, as well as heartbroken. for those that carried out this attack, as well as anyone who wishes america harm, know th

here is one speaking to chris cuomo last night. >> now the question is my life. am i safe? i don't even think they're safe because they were in my house. because now they are more of a target than ever before because they're living in my house and i'm an american. i'm a former interpreter. i worked for 14 years and what is next for us? we just smell the death. i'm afraid to let them go out or myself to go out. >> reporter: this is a moment of truth. any hopes that the u.s. or the west might have had have to be realized now. you do have to see them get on with governing. not getting involved in what many fear could be the task of revenge against those who helped the americans and america has to stay focused on the huge downstream flow of tens of thousands of refugees at the air base. they couldn't tell us how many of the 39,000 were siv applicants. a lot of questions to be answered, jim. >> thank you so much. >>> new this morning, pakistani officials say they killed 11 alleged members of isis and arrested a senior leader of that group after a foiled terror plot. the deaths c

cuomo. he said if this incest gages did confirm the accusations of these women and found them to be credible, which the investigators said it did, he would call on him to resign which he did today which is striking given the political alliance and what emanated from that. he did stop short of saying whether or not he believed he should be removed from office if he doesn't resign of course we saw governor cuomo come out on that video and did not sound like he was resigning and so that's a big question facing new yorkers, whether or not they will try to remove him from office that remains to be seen. what we do know is president biden has not read this report yet. he just said he knew the end results of the investigation and that's what went into his decision earlier today and erin, he said he's not spoken to governor cuomo today about this decision. it seems incredibly unlikely they would speak going forward now that he has called on him to resign, but this just came as this really cascade of

. >> you know, brent jarar, who was the testing czar under the trump administration, told chris cuomo last night it is a crying shame we don't have more data on the breakthrough cases. a broader question about that revelation, this is a pandemic. i just said at the top of the show, six weeks ago there were 12,000 new cases a day. yesterday there were 103,000. are you surprised that we don't have those updated numbers about breakthrough cases? >> i work with my colleagues in local public health. i want to tell you, their band width has been stretched beyond what you might expect. they have been focusing on vaccinating people and getting people who are vaccinated -- i mean getting them in so that they can be very confident that their schools can open this faus. they haven't had the band width really to do as much about the breakthrough cases as they would like. >> let's talk about vaccinations because we've now learned from moderna, they say that efficacy for their vaccine is 93% for six months, but as we go into the cooler months, among other variables, people heading indoors, that peo

i want to hand it over to chris for "cuomo primetime." >>> welcome to prime time. to all those in power raising concerns that america failed in afghanistan, focus on this. if you are worried about failure, don't just spend time debating trump and the taliban or biden botching the exit, debate how to get americans out of afghanistan. the politics of our presence have always been deceptive and messy. the exit is too. here's the reality. trump made a rash deal with the taliban to leave by may 1st of this year. biden agreed and had it go bad on his watch. here is how the current president explains the state of play. >> it would have taken a significant american troop presence, multiple times greater than what president biden was handed, to stop a taliban onslaught. but the afghan government and its supporters, including many of the people now seeking to leave made a passionate case that we should not conduct a massive evacuation unless we trigger a loss of confidence in the government. what you can do is plan for all contingencies. we did that. when a civil war comes t
