August 26, 2021: Afghanistan evacuations, Kathy Hochul, Biden and Israel PM, Japan, Venezuela floods

1. The United States and allies urged people to move away from Kabul airport, citing the threat of an attack by Islamic State militants as Western troops hurry to evacuate as many people as possible before an Aug. 31 deadline.

2. New York Governor Kathy Hochul revealed 12,000 more people died of COVID-19 than was reported under her disgraced predecessor, making good on her promise for greater transparency.

3. President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett will seek to reset the tone of U.S.-Israeli relations in their first White House meeting and find common ground on Iran despite differences on how to deal with its nuclear program.

4. Japan suspended the use of 1.63 million doses of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine, more than a week after the domestic distributor received reports of contaminants in some vials.

5. At least 20 people have died in the western Venezuelan state of Merida following intense rains that caused mudslides and rivers to overflow.
