Afghanistan: Taliban advance is fast and frightening

A new American intelligence assessment predicts that the Afghan capital, Kabul, could fall to the Taliban within 90 days. The group has taken nine provincial capitals in less than a week.

President Biden says he does not regret his decision to withdraw U.S. troops, and he believes Afghan leaders had to come together and fight for themselves.
