President Joe Biden said the United States was "on a pace" to hit its Aug. 31 deadline for withdrawal from Afghanistan, but is preparing contingency plans in case needed. His remarks from the White House came the same day the Taliban said it would stop Afghans from trying to go to the Kabul airport and told women to stay home to stay for a time to stay safe, fueling worries about how the Taliban will treat women. In the meantime, the evacuations continued, with more than 70,000 people removed from the country in the past 10 days. 📸: Susan Walsh, @apnews #afghanistan #biden
