U.S. expedites evacuations out of Afghanistan

The Pentagon has deployed military helicopters and American troops outside of Kabul's airport to help evacuate stranded Americans and Afghan allies.

Cordes joins CBSN's Elaine Quijano with more on what this means for the mission ahead.

Biden committed to Afghanistan evacuation efforts

President Biden again addressed the nation on the Afghanistan crisis Friday. He's vowing to mobilize every resource necessary to safely evacuate Americans and Afghans who have helped the U.S. in the 20-year war. But as CBS News senior White House correspondent Weijia Jiang reports, some Americans are facing violence from the Taliban as they try to get to the airport in Kabul. Evacuation flights were also temporarily halted Friday after a transfer facility in Qatar reached capacity. CBS News foreign correspondent Roxana Saberi reports on the conditions there.
