Taliban takes Afghanistan, Covid testing and hotspots, Retail earnings

The U.S. is preparing to send 1,000 more troops to Afghanistan as the Taliban continues its takeover of the country. Our own Dan Murphy takes us through what’s happening on the ground. Plus, as people return to the office and to schools, Covid testing is becoming critical—we speak with the CEO of one testing company about what they’re doing to prepare. And the CEO of Houston Methodist Hospital joins us with a look at what’s happening in Texas, as hospitalizations in the state surge.
