this is al jazeera. >> afghanistan calls in help from the u.s. to try to reverse a stunning loss to the taliban. >> germany cracks down on refugee pretending to be syrian to get asylum, we have

a special report. >> in doha, we will have all your sport including the uefa champions league, but they will be without the injuries the latest from all of tuesday's ties coming up later in the program. >> the taliban forces are dug in, and they are set to be closing in on the cities airport one of the few remaining places in government control. the sudden fall is a major set back for the government, and raises further doubts about it's ability to tackle the taliban. stephanie decker reports. >> there are no government troops left here.

taliban fighters are now in control of lamb parts of kunduz city. here they are raising their flag. this battle is not over, they have announce add major military operation to recapture kunduz. >> in the first place we should take care of the civilian casualties we will continue. the enemy has conceded heavy damages including the air strikes and the operations. i don't want to go into the detail of the operations. >> it is proving difficult for some to reach kunduz because the taliban has set up bobby traps along the way. taliban gunman broke open the prison, releasing hundreds of inmates. taliban commanders have issues a statement, telling residents not to worry, and to go about their daily

lives. that will be difficult, with a major military operation underway. it is one of the most significant gains made since 2001, when their government was deposed by the invasion. it coincides with gahni's fist anniversary as president, it is also the first year that afghan forces are facing the taliban alone, after u.s. and nato troops pulled out last year. a counter terrorism operation remains but this recent move is the boldest in a long campaign by the taliban to take more control of the country. that strong message to whoever is watching, that 14 years after being deposed and battling coalition and afghan, toes the taliban can still take control of a major city in less than 24 hours. stephanie decker al jazeera. >> last time we spoke, were were talking about forcing

closes in on the air force oven a latest on that? do we know if they have managed to cap thursday the airport. >> the report we getting from inside the airport, that the taliban are getting very close to the airport even to the wall of the airport. and shooting different kind of gun. a small machine gun at the airport, and forced inside the airport are panics, also all the government employee that they used to work in kunduz city for the government and other departments, they were scared of taliban, they run away. they thought the airport could be the safest place, now even the airport is under attack. and obviously the take over by the taliban has been a shock, it happened very very

quickly, i guess the government forces is a bit on the back foot, we are hearing that reinforcements are meant to be headed into the area. what is the latest? >> with these forces it is -- it is a big force, we are talking about a couple of hundred of armored vehicles. full of security, and security forces afghan nationals police, afghan special forces army, they intend to go and let -- towards the city. to retake kunduz city. but four times they have tried all time they were ambushed by taliban on their way and after they were not providing the underroad, the road was blocked. sandbags taliban put sandbags on the road. they built a wall on the road, so to make sure that these forces cannot reach kunduz.

and now the forces are still waiting in the province, and waiting to see what can going to happen tomorrow. >> obviously very important developments in afghan stab, i know you are be following them for us for the moment. al jazeera, thank you. >> three new countries nigeria, tunisian and malaysia have now head the coalition fighting against the islamic state of levant. the u.s. president says if anti-isil forces keep working tot, then the group will be defeated. >> there are profound changes taking place in the middle east. and north africa. there are problems that have built up over decades. that are expressing

themselves and manifesting themselves in organizations like isil. of if we were to wipe out the entire isil leadership, we would still have some of these forces at work. but ultimately i am optimistic. in iraq, and in syria, isil is surrounded by communities countries and a brad international coalition committed to it's destruction. we have seen that isil can be defeated where there is sound organization, and a government and military that is coordinating with this coalition and with our diplomatic efforts. and here we are seeing a new global movement to counter the violent extremism. >> president obama there let's get more who is live for us at u.n. head quarters and has been following that

meeting. so three e.u. members nigeria, tunisian and malaysia, what else did we hear in. >> turkey perhaps more interesting what we did not hear from this event, and that is russia. the country despite a lot of talks from president putin, about more coordination with the united states,s and other countries, fighting isil, did not take part. that's because russia is hosting it's own antiterrorism event oven wednesday, and we know from the russian ambassador speaking on the sidelines that they weren't too happy that this event was undermining the united nations, by having it outside the security council. but we did hear from turkey, a very important player in the region, of course, in the

fight against isil, interestingly, the prime minister talked about drew parallels between isil and the p.k.k., the kurdistan workers party drawing parallels between the fight the p.k.k., and isil, with a little bit awkward for the united states, of course, because the united states has relied somewhat on the curds in it's fight against isil. but many countries vowing better cooperation that we heard from. >> so a lot of talk of cooperation, we heard from president obama, be uh the need to defeat isil, any major announcements any new ideas that this conference came up with? >> not a lot. we did hear the united nations, announcing they had put 35 more individuals and entities on the sanctions list of attempt to dry up funding. that was welcome news to the iraqi prime minister. he called on other countries

to do more to dry up the resources of this network. but no major initiatives, no discussions about how to get at isil in syria. which of course, is the ungoverned strong hold for this movement, the. booing campaign does continue with the united states and france, launching aerial attacks against isil in syria. training iraqi military, more talk about that, 17 countries involved in that, but not a lot new. >> we will have more analysis on this counter terrorism conference that's been happening on the sidelines. for the moment though, live ever the us at the u. in, thank you. >> ukraine nan president used his speech to launch a scathing attack.

which is accused of helping separatist fighters in eastern ukraine. >> these fighters until now, russia refused to officially admit it's direct military invasion today, there is no doubt that this is an aggressive war against my country. against ukraine. to miss lead the world community, russian leadership orders to take military servicemen, and identification markers of it's military equipment. to abandon it's soldiers captured on the battlefield, and use mobile cream ma tore yum to eliminatations of it's crime on ukrainian. >> much more still to come on this news hour from london including the video said to show the aftermath of an attack on a wedding party in yemen, more than 100 people have been killed.

plus in sport, sepp blatter says he is going nowhere except back to work. with the latest moves on the feoff family planning crisis. syria's state media has spoken out in the u.n. general assembly, in which he defends his counter part. putin is a strong believer in backing the asaad regime in their fight, and is ramping up military support. however, as peter sharp reports many russians on the street can see echos with one of the more uncomfortable events in the military history.

the latest report suggests that 28 it fooer jets has now been deployed along with a significant amount of attack helicopters. uncomfortable reminders of the last time russia fought a war 4,000-kilometers from moscow. russia's ten year battle in afghanistan, ended in pull out in 1989. and cost the lives or more than 14,000 troops. this was russia's vietnam, with it's legsy of disillusionment and betrayal. >> . >> alexandar picks through souvenirs and reminders of his deployment, bitter about his comrades have been treated. >> we were forgotten. we are still forgotten. we fulfilled our duty. we did for the mother land what it as usual has ordered us to do, as patriots we fulfilled our duty, many guys most of the guys are now unhappy because of this war. they drink or they are sick

or disabled and the state does not pay attention to any of them. >> there are few monuments to the war in afghanistan, just one in the whole of moscow. those that lost loved ones don't need reminders. valentin's cousin was shot down in his helicopter. he die add slow death. and the boys who got out of the helicopter, they were tortured, his death was a great sorrow, and that is why i am so against the deployment, very much against. this is going to be a second afghanistan. >> critics of the president says putin has miss judged the mood of many in the country as the military support for the syrian army. >> our president is copying soviet ways makes decisions personally or with a small number. so there's a high problem of deployment of russian troops.

obviously the kremlin has left the door open for direct assistance to the forces. russia may enter combat operations if that's what damascus is asking for. peter sharp, al jazeera, in moscow. >> let's go to iraq now where air strikes have hit the old city in the city for the first time. mosul has been under the control of the islamic state of iraq since last year. air strikes have previously avoidedded densely populated areas of the city to prevent civilian casualties. 17 people are reported to have been killed and it is not clear who carries out the strike. >> . >> let's go to baghdad now, who has more, considering that isil has been there since last year, and the center of the old city had never really been hit, why do you think this is all happening now and how significant is it? it is significant because it is the first time we have

seen air strikes take part in the city. now this is where the essentially the old city was. this is where isil is thoroughly embedded now the air strikes have normally been done by the iraqis themselves, againer, this not saying who took part in this air strike. what this really shows you is the limited use of the air strike. they have been able to contain isil to the areas that they control, so for example, in mosul they haven't been able to expand the territory, and indeed, mosul is led connected to syria, which is another strong hold, that used to be a main rout for them that's been disrupted. however, when it comes to getting rid of isil, you need troops on the ground, and

that has hand happened. now a lot of people are living. we have been told by resident that is they are sleeping in their cellars because they are fearful of an air campaign. the idea of sending in troops is gaining a lot of ground here, in iraq at the moment, people are very worried, but there will be some sort ofives to take that city and they are not sure whether they will be safe. if you leave you have to pay a fine, and isil levied that fine, and they also used the city as not only a base but as a financial one as welp p they are making millions of dollars so it is crucial they hang on to it. >> with the latest from baghdad, oen that situation thank you. the u.n. secretary general has strongly condemned an attack at a wedding in yemen, which kills at least 131 people. these pictures are said to be

of the aftermath recorded in a village near the red sea port. the video has been broadcast by a houthis rebel t.v. station, and al jazeera is unable to independently verify it. the saudi led coalition denies allegations in the war planes targeted the wedding. all civilians what target are you talking about in. >> a group of al jazeera journalists and employee whose were convicted in egypt have made a formal request to the president to grant them amnesty.

>> they and al jazeera deny all the gases against them. violent crime is increasing in south africa, police statistics show an almost 5% rise in the number of murders. tonya page reports. these men are addicted to a mix of heroin and marijuana, they steal to pay ever the it and sometimes commit worse crimes. >> most of the people they do kill for it. >> they live in fear of attack by the people they hurt. a man accused of being a

criminal was killed last week. people are taking the law into their own hands because they don't trust the police. and that's adding to a rise in murder rates. they run the operation a group of parents with little more than goodwill and hearts broken by their children whop are drug addicts. he says some are working with drug dealers. >> to arrest these people, somebody somewhere said leave those people. it is what we have heard from them. >> south africa's police force is being scrutinized. it is the first time since apartheid that the number of murders has increased three years running. >> undivided and etch more for attention. >> the national police commissioner holds officers being reviewed after police shot dead 34 miners three year ago, however, the police are just one part of the crime story.

>> the reason for the high level of crime in south africa are complex. violence is a legacy of apartheid, there's also unemployment and poverty. corruption within government, and the police. some of which are wider social issues but johan of the institute for security studies says police are trying to spin the statistics by emphasizing that overall crime is down. >> undermine our efforts to point out where problems are in terms of crime and the need for us. very very urgently to find solutions. >> cutting crime is not only a job for the police, but improves trust and confidence in the policemen and women would make the task easier. tonya page, al jazeera, south africa. >> germany is imposing tougher conditions as it struggles to cope with a record surge in the numbers

of refugees. the government has added albania, to it's list of so called safe origin countries which means that the people from those states can be deported more quickly but as lawrence lee reports no uh, the government also suspects that a third of all asylum seekers are pretending to be from syria, to increase chances of staying. others i now seems are checking whether they are who they say they are. a few days ago, we filmed the group in a town moving as fast as they could to the border with austria. among the number was this man in the red, he said he would do an interview with us. >> where are you from in. >> which city? >> damascus.

you just came here from where? from the border. >> i come here to -- a ghost. >> and go to austria and germany. >> yet at the train station, in a separate conversation in french, he admitted to me that in fact he was a hotel worker from tunisia. he was pretending because he knew he had no chance of asylum. in some 80 different languages anybody who arrived here, has to give a speech sample which is then analyzing to verify if they are who they say they are the german government as it points to take out each will not have it automatically rejected they have to assume it will make life more difficult for them. >> we have heard similar things as well, where translators were on hand. the arguments in favor of asking these questions is

that people who are not in fear of their lives should not be getting in the way of people that are. but others say the system should not discriminate. >> to go on this very dangerous long and strenuous travel to europe, to maybe cross illegally in small boats over the mid trainian and i think you have a real reason to flee. so i can't really understand why they shouldn't be -- yeah, they should point refugees. the idea that some are getting through is only likely to hearten attitudes more. mass exodus shows no signs of abating. after being rescued by the italian coast quart of libya. the new arrival mainly from

substitute a hair ran africa include men women and young chirp. the coast guard said they were found in perilous rubber ding give which is have largely defleeted. libyan coast guards have detained 230 people who were attempted to reach europe by boat. they were picked up about 50-kilometers east of tripoli. the libyan authorities say a lack of support from the community combined with the country's long coastline is fueling libya's migrant crisis. in the first peaceful democrat transition in the country's history. but with increasing insecurity and unemployment, many aren't happy with how the government has perform sod far. jennifer glass reports. the business is terrible and many of the customers can't pay their bills.

last year, he had great expect aces for the government. but now he says it is the worst of times. there is no work, no business. i take my children out of school to work, i wanted my children to be educated butly need them to help support the family. >> he vows to fight corruption to help afghanistan stand on it's own feet. the country is heavily depend on foreign aid. he promised to support women's right, his wife has taken a prop independent role. the government says it is making progress, afghans stay they don't see it. >> we haven't seen any support of women's rights. there's actually more violence, women without education sit at home, there's no work for them. the use of this country has already fled, nothing is left for the people. >> afghans are leaving in record numbers because they

can't find work or are worried. the heavily fort fied capitol and the taliban are fighting in many areas around the country. 15,000 afghan security forces die or are injured in the first eight month of 2015. on the kurt side, forces are struggling with a high number of casualties. and politically, the national is not functioning. >> it took the government nearly six monos to free on cabinet members amidost rumors of in fighting between the chief executive. in one of the most important positions defense minister remains untilled with an acting minister making security desises. >> the president has repeatedly asked the people to be patient. the change takes time. the things will get worse before they get better. but this time last year, he has two things he lacks now,

momentum, and the people support. everybody without everything that is happening it would have been potentially a damming report on his year. considering what we have seen the taliban achieve in kunduz, how do you assess one year his one year leadership. >> well, it has been disappointing, but then again, expectations were quite high. so it has to be understood in that context. the kunduz attack comes at a particularly bad time, because people are assessing

that year and what this has done as it has set back situations strategically and psychologically. kunduz is a strategically located city, and until now, it was always said that the taliban, for whatever else they could do, could not take a large urban area. well, they have now shown that, in fact, that they can take any area that they presumably really are willing to expend the resources on. but psychologic clay this may have a greater impact. for all the reasons because of the fact that people are -- have lost so much confidence in the government, that now with this set back, even if they retake the city, it will indicate here that basic security cannot be assured by the government. >> it's been a tour lent year for the government, they

announced that omar was dead, he died apparently years before. he has his own issues with consolidating his base, do you think that the forces are just not ready in. >> well, i think it is basically that. what has happened is that effectively the command structure has broken down. they had overwhelming numbers. they had certainly the equipment, much of the equipment they needed but they are not well led at the provincial level. and on top of that we have to look in kabul itself. there has been no defense minister over this year no

one has taken the position, and was reject bedty parliament for a number of reasons including the fact that many parliamentarians didn't believe he was up to the job. >> forgive me for interrupting we are just running out of time, we now know there's a version of isil in afghanistan as well, do you see a scenario where they send more troops back into afghanistan. >> no, i can't see that. but the appearance here will make it much more difficult for the united states to extricate itself entirely. what i would imagine is that it will keep the same level of troop -- of advisor support as it has right now. but no, i don't think it will increase the level of troops support. >> mar vibe former afghanistan analyst for the u.s. state department, thank you for sharing your views with us.

>> still ahead on this hour of news, ports closed and flights canceled, hits the south eastern coast of china, and security fears put two big sporting events in doubt in bangladesh, we will have the details later in the program.

>> what do you want american's to understand? >> there's so much injustice.

>> workers are being injured constantly. stories here.nder of the top reported to be trying to take alcohol of the airport in kunduz. the city itself fell suddenly to the taliban on monday. u.s. president barack obama has announced that three new countries have joined the coalition against isil as he host as conference on the sidelines of the u.n. general assembly. and ukraine's president has addressed the u.n. general assembly to accuse russia of an open and unprovoked aggression in eastern ukraine. so let's go back now to that international conference, running on the sidelines of the u.n. general assembly meeting in new york.

for more on this, we are joined in new york, by al jazeera senior political analyst. good to see you, so you have been following that conference, we heard from barack obama, we know three new countries nigeria, tunisia, have joined the anti-isil coalition, did you hear anything that struck you as anything new? >> well, it is the sort of thing i have been lecturing about 20 years ago. there's nothing new. and in fact, this is only part of the story. and they tell us whether islam is not to be -- that there is a political grievances behind the sort of violence and so it is nothing new. even the stuff we have heard about, isis is nothing new. as well as the iraqi prime minister, is stuff we have heard before. so it begs the question, why are they saying these thins and why are they meeting in new york. now what is paradoxical is as you just reported for the first time, mosul sort of the

capitol for isil, has just been bombed and no one took responsibility. at least the americans have not come out or the iraqis to tell us if they didn't do it who did? so is there confusion, is there a strategy at all, aside from talking to talk. that's not clear to me sitting here in new york. >> obviously fighting isil is going to be a challenge, how about fighting isil when you don't have russia and iran actually sitting at the table with you when you are hosting an anty terrorism conference in. >> as i said yesterday, the problem here is that putin and obama sit down as they did yesterday, reluctantly as they did yesterday. they probably talked to each other, i am not sure they listened to each other. especially about the question of syria and isil. what we have now is one coalition, we have two

coelations. on the one hand, and jordan and others on the other hand, so is there a real sound international coalition that is that merits the name, or is there a political expediency, more of the same, conflicts and accomplicety among certain groups and not aening mo others is this more of the same core rhetoric that we are hearing today from the russians and the americans on this question, are shay vying for power and influence of more of the same. again, it is not clear, but certainly all the signs that there is no real coherence strategy to fight, despite two years of more of the same, and despite the fact that the strategy as we have known, has failed. if we look at the three

countries that have joined, so one arab, obviously mainly muslim, population countries and there an emphasis on other countries? so perhaps breaking out of the u.s., russia, and of course iran playing a part, but other countries playing a part in this fight against isil, or at least finding some kind of stability to the middle east. >> but the real target of isil is muslims in iraq, syria, and the rest of the world. be uh the fact that you have joining in and that are taking real clear stand along with others on isil, that is

important. and the end of the day, a lot of this will have to be resolved regionally. and at the end of the day, it is about foreign military intervention in the world. you know 14 years ago, the muslim world has been bombed everyone knows that 14 years from now the muslim world will still be bombed. the question is what are they doing about it, how much are they playing a role in this. so yes it is important as we said, there isn't one coalition, so we have a whole bunch of others along with the russians and others on a whole other front. so this is not all coming together to me in new york. in any new play that we haven't seen before. we have more of the same divisions more of the same failures more of the same accompliceties lack of leadership, although we call it leadership against terror, but we are not seeing that leadership that this question merits because even a small group like isil will continue to grow the way it has in

iraq and syria, ex-understood pas the way -- killing so many, and yes more of the same. >> al jazeera, always good to talk to you, thank you. >> thank you. >> typhoon dejon has hit the south eastern coast of china, after battering taiwan and killing at least three people. winds or. >> than 100-kilometers an hour hit costal areas forcing fishing boats to return to dock. well, the clean up has begun where strong winds and rains damaged cars and uprooted trees. in north eastern taipei city. more now from the taiwanese capitol. >> we are in taipei's biggest station. just a day after struck taiwan, operations here have gone back to normal. although businesses are still close as well as schools and offices, most of the roads have been clears of debris.

more than 7,000 were evacuated. the mayor said they are prepares as they can be, but it is very difficult to assess the damage of this one, however, if you look at the situation now and how critical the government -- has seen to be for how other countries should also respond in disasters like this one. more than 300,000 are still without power, but most of those 7,000 have been evacuated are now able to return to their homes. by the end of today, typhoon has already left taiwan's area of responsibility, and it's just a matter of time before every operation here is back to normal as well. >> the head of a u.s. family planning organization has been facing tough questions by a congregation committee. planned parenthood received more than $500 million in funds every year, but it can lose that funding after

information emerged that it sold fetal tissue for research. >> they came to capitol hill with a message for coming. don't defund planned parenthood. the safe for many working class it is their only access to affordable healthcare. courtney was in graduate school suffering from endoe meet tremendous yous sis she turned to planned parenthood when she could no longer afford medication. >> i worked hard to get into this graduate program, and now i need to get a job, i won't be able to study for this one reason. so planned parenthood i was able to get the medication. >> natasha turned to planned parenthood seven years ago after finding a lump in her breast. >> planned parenthood was actually my first contact with getting my first breast cancer screening. and it is a process that saves my life. >> not everyone in congress

you provide that are ab boar rant services in the view of many. >> but others say it is nothing more than theater and an attack on reproduction choices has been going on since 1973. >> what is really under attack, is the right of women to control their own bodies. their own reproduction. their own reproduction, and their own reproductive self. >> courtney agrees it is why she said she came to tell congress abortions are just a small part of what planned parenthood does, and because of her medical condition, her chance of motherhood would never have happened without the support. >> in the fill means it is expected that relatives will look after you in old ainge. there's concern about who will take in the elderly.

>> she is 101. for 40 of those years she has worked on this foot path. a widow with no children, says she will stay here until the day she dies. >> i don't want to be too much of a bother. one must do what one can, and if you can't, then you must suffer through it. that's how life is, child. >> the situation is rare in the philippines are tolderly are usually cared for by extended family. but more people are now fending for themselves. many wander the streets until they are found by social services. this is the largest of only four government run centers for the elderly in the philippines. spread across ten hectors and made to look like a village, there are 240 clients here at the moment, they get their needs tended to for free around the clock. >> to be accepted here they

must have nowhere else to go and no family to care for them. their numbers were always small be that's no longer the case. and social workers are concerned that many have been abandoned on purpose. she lost touch with them years ago. >> even if i think no with family i am grateful to god that i was brought here.

i don't go hungry. we have medicine and someone to care for us. we have everything here. >> more families are asking the center to take in their relatives some are even willing to pay. it is development of a change in filipino society. but on a sidewalk in the heart of the old town, she venezuela marries to sleep for the night, she won't be moved she says no matter how much the world changes around her. much more to come after the break, including. >> under sea sanctuary, new zealand create as huge marine reserve in the south pacific. and we will also tell you why the players weren't the only ones ready to shoot at this brazilian football match.

all sorts of sea life. the largest sanctuary is created in the south pacific. one of the most isolated places on earth. hundreds of marine species in the water ms. of them unique, some endangers. >> this is one of the last pristine sights in our ocean that has been preserved.

because this is an area that is unhabitted by humans. and it is such a large area. new zealand prime minister plans for the ocean sanctuary during the general assembly, he says the reserve will encompass 600 went thousand square kilometers. >> this is the the area twice if side of our land mass, and 50 times the size of our largest national park. it is truly a special place. and we want to keep it that way. >> the announcement gained media tension. >> just over an hour ago, with the united states, the prime minister in new zealand made an announcement that we can all celebrate. >> not everybody is celebrating, mining and fishing are now banned from the area. although some in the industries are upset, the government says the benefits outweigh the costs. >> i am confident the majority of new zealand that is a loss economically but well worthwhile for a global

contribution to environmental protection in the oceans. >> new see land says the area will be policed using satellite and defense force patrols. new laws expected to come into force within the next year. to protect the region for generations to come. gerald tan, al jazeera. >> let's get to sport now. one place to start is match day two of the uefa league. that will include at the enough camp byron munich chelsea also in action, again all kicked off about five minutes ago, and we have had a score. 1-nip up against tel-aviv. now one of the men hoping to become the next fifa president says there needs to be an emergency meeting of the footballing world. south korea believes an interim task force should take over from sepp blatter
