Desperate times call for desperate measures - parents hand their babies to US soldiers at Kabul airport, hoping they'll be taken out of Afghanistan to safety. We also hear from an American man, who'd been on the verge of adopting a 10-year-old boy from the country, when the chaos erupted. The US says it has no intention of charging people to get out of Afghanistan, following criticism of a security alert issued last week, that said repatriation flights were not free. While Afghan nationals rally across parts of the country showing resistance to the Taliban questions are still being asked as to how the terror group was able to simply sweep the Afghan army aside. We debate the issue. A man's arrested after threatening to detonate a truck bomb near Capitol Hill, unless President Biden unleashes missiles at the Taliban, but the story only splits the American public, down party lines.
