Afghanistan updates: US, Taliban hold first direct talks since withdrawal
State Dept. spokesperson Ned Price called the talks "candid and professional."
It's been more than a month since the U.S. withdrew all U.S. troops from Afghanistan on President Joe Biden's order to leave by Aug. 31, ending a chaotic evacuation operation after the Afghan government collapsed and the Taliban seized control of the country.

In testimony to Congress last month, their first since the withdrawal of all U.S. forces from Afghanistan -- Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley and Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, commander of U.S. Central Command, candidly admitted that they had recommended to Biden that the U.S. should keep a troop presence there, appearing to contradict his assertions to ABC News' George Stephanopoulos.

2nd Afghan mother gives birth on evacuation flight
An Afghan woman being evacuated from the Kabul airport went into labor and gave birth to a baby girl at an altitude of over 32,000 feet as an evacuation flight operated by Turkish Airlines headed to Birmingham, England, according to a statement from the airline.
The 26-year-old mother gave birth with the assistance of cabin crew members as the plane flew over Kuwait, airline officials said. There was no doctor aboard the flight, officials said.
The plane landed in Kuwait as a precaution before continuing on to Birmingham with the healthy baby, mother and father, the airlines said.
This was the second Afghan mother to give birth during an evacuation flight.
Overwhelming bipartisan support for keeping troops in Afghanistan until all Americans, Afghans who aided US out: POLL
With fewer than 4 in 10 Americans approving of President Joe Biden's handling of Afghanistan, there is overwhelming bipartisan support for keeping U.S. troops in the country until all Americans and Afghans who aided the United States during the 20-year war have been evacuated, a new ABC News/Ipsos poll finds.
Although President Joe Biden has held firm that all U.S. troops must be out of the country by Tuesday, regardless of whether the evacuation mission at hand is complete, Americans broadly disagree, according to the poll.
The poll was conducted using Ipsos' KnowledgePanel and all interviews were completed after the terrorist attack at Kabul's Hamid Karzai International Airport that left at least 13 U.S. service members and 170 Afghans dead. Hundreds more were wounded in the attack, which an affiliate of the Islamic State, ISIS-K, claimed responsibility for.

US citizens attempting to leave down to 250: State Department
There are roughly 250 U.S. citizens still in Afghanistan trying to evacuate, a U.S. State Department spokesperson told ABC News on Sunday.
At least 50 U.S. citizens were evacuated from the country between Saturday and Sunday morning, the State Department official said in a statement.
With the threat to the airport remaining high, many U.S. citizens have had difficulty entering the compound. The State Department spokesperson said their team on the ground is coordinating help for the U.S. citizens, "while taking the current security situation into account."
"There remain up to approximately 250 Americans in Afghanistan who told us they are trying to leave the country," the spokesperson's statement reads. "Additionally, we have been in regular contact with a group of roughly 280 individuals who have self-identified as Americans in Afghanistan but who remain undecided about whether to leave the country or who have told us they do not intend to depart."

The Bidens were meeting with the families of the 13 U.S. service members who were killed in a suicide bombing Thursday at the gates of the airport in Kabul.
They met with the relatives Sunday morning in the Center for Families of the Fallen at Dover Air Force Base, officials said.
The president and first lady will honor the 11 Marines, one Army soldier and one Navy corpsman at noon when their bodies return to the United States in flag-draped coffins.
