CNN chief international correspondent Clarissa Ward donned a hijab while reporting from Kabul on Monday morning, one day after the Taliban took control of the capital of Afghanistan.
Ward used her “New Day” report to show just how dramatically things have changed in the city in the last 24 hours.
“This is a sight I honestly thought I would never see,” Ward said. “Scores of Taliban fighters, and just behind us, the U.S. Embassy compound.”
When asked by “New Day” anchors Jon Berman and Brianna Keilar to go into more depth about just how different things are now, Ward pointed out that she primarily saw Taliban members on the streets.
