think and even trust me, i feel like i'm alive, but i know i am a machine origins of this species analogy 0. the holding the powerful to account. as we examined the us, his role in the world on al jazeera, ah hundreds of afghan government, true fleet to neighboring tajikistan, and taught a bon fight, this capture more districts across the country. ah, i'm sammy's a than this is i'll just there live from south hall. so coming up, if he has prime minister blames that the grey and rebels for the conflict in the region just a day after they showed readiness to talk. fake toxic black smoke drift towards

tylen capital after a factory explosion, the bangkok airport. how the beliefs of indigenous july and once dismissed this primitive are becoming mainstream. ah, hundreds of afghan government troops fled across the border into to jacob's stand. as the tale bond captures, more territory caught upon fighters took several districts in the northern province of buckshot this weekend after afghan soldiers fled their posts. the afghan government says it sending reinforcements. now, since america's draw down of troops gained pace in may, the tale bond has doubled, the number of districts it holds. as many afghans now live on the taliban rule, as those in government control areas, 13 districts fell to the group on saturday,

the most in 20 years. 100, thanks to god and this is prison before that the majority of the africa, people in the previous era, june taliban rule, for more than 10 years. we are now in control board and 70 percent of the territories. it is simply because that people know us very well, and the african people have no problem dealing with us. we have to main principles that we rely on when it comes to judgement versus the placid islamic faith. the 2nd is now belief in our national identity. within the framework of these 2 principles, i can assure you that we do not have any problem with anyone. we respect everyone's right. the majority of us and nato forces have now left afghanistan ahead of september. 11th the departure deadline. just 650 american troops, the staying back to secure the u. s. embassy in cobble airport and get a sense of who controls was in afghanistan. as we mentioned, the taliban is seizing districts across the north,

but they've been fighting and winning across the country. districts that are shaded in orange, our government controlled contested districts are in green. that means taliban fighters may have surrounded population centers. main cities, or villages of districts in purple are firmly on the tardy bomb control. the number of districts and who controls them is disputed, though. michael sample is a professor at queen's university served as the deputy use special representative to afghanistan. he says the tale bonds gains don't bode well for the post us era. it is quite, quite remarkable. the collapse that we have seen during june and now into july. beyond, beyond this of their either the best expectations of the taliban or the worst expectations of the afghan government under the here and the americans. there's this, i mean there's a set of reasons. first of all, you'd expect some kind of,

you know, adjustment with the removal of the ad, the military assets and the backing at the time that the americans have provided. but this goes well beyond it. i think some of it is this kind of the narrative that to the, the taliban have relentlessly pushed over the past 3 years. that they inevitably would take over soon after the withdrawal of the americans. and that they're at the moment there's, they're succeeding in turning that into a kind of self fulfilling prophecy. but also there's clearly disorganisation inside the afghan security forces, the real problems of morale. there is a broad consensus that people really fear the return of the taliban. but out that there is no effective organisation of the resistance to their return. if he of his prime minister, abby is defending the decision to fight rebels in the northern te gray region,

leaders into grey say they would accept the federal government sees far is certain demands a met speaking in parliament on monday, the prime minister described to grind forces as the dangers of the rest of the country. catherine sawyer reports now from addis ababa i got up because the prime minister be responding to questions from members of parliament at the session was mainly about his power. it is on economic development. but the crisis in t grey was all to be called the agenda. and what's the future relationship between the federal government and the t p. s? can there be sustainable peace and to growing up and is there the possibility of to grain forces taking their flight beyond the grain borders? the prime minister gave more reasons why the military was deployed to the region last november, saying that the grand forces had an expansionist agenda to destabilize the country with the significance to have land. they prepared an army that they didn't stop

there. they started encroaching on the rest of the year and started to destabilize the entire nation in all sorts of ways. this is quite dangerous, and at the end of the day, it would endanger the existence of the nation. it's considered as a threat. the government declared the war over in late november, but things have changed. the rebels have we taken the capital macalester and other areas in the region? i think with less expected was the speed with which the t. d. f transformed itself . from a mo bile dispersed gorilla force into almost a conventional army that just marched and not only on the humanitarian situation is dire. the un says more than 400000 to grands and now suffering from farming electricity and telephone lines have been cut. the air space is closed and infrastructure including important bridges, have been destroyed. families say

a political dialogue is necessary, but does not appear possible just now. the government doesn't recognize the t, d. f, as the legitimate authority into gray doesn't even seem to accept that it exists. and the t d f says it doesn't want bilateral talks with the government. it believes that a national dialogue is necessary to save e c o b a. so i think we're far from anything beyond immediate humanitarian troops, if that that the grand leadership and its political party, p, p l, f. have given a list of demands for these via it. once among other things, the federal government recognize it as the legitimately elected regional government of the guy that may be difficult, that ministration of prime minister has already labeled t p l f. and it forces a terrorist organization, kathy, employee all to 0. i do saba. now the robert ford, some men of kidnapped a 150 school students in northwest in nigeria. witnesses say the attack took place

complex and flames. the firefighters. struggle to contain the we are trying to look for the injured. however, the flames are quite high. so it takes quite an effort to look at people. rescue is almost spreading out because we receive calls for people who have injuries from explosions from the extended area. one or 2 streets away from here, there are reports of falling debris, injuries from debbie impacts on faces, and hence, the damage caused by the explosion was considerable. it's estimated the factory alone has suffered more than $20000000.00 us dollars worth. 70 homes are also seriously affected, and thousands of people have been evacuated from within a wide radius of the factory. firefighters struggled throughout the day to bring the plays under control, but the flexible nature of the chemicals made it a complicated and dangerous task. at times the flames taking of areas in the firefight, they had the control. the day went on a huge plume of smoke rows across the area described by some witnesses as toxic and

visible across bangkok beyond. when that finally clears, there'll be questions to answer about the failure to control such dangerous chemicals. tony ching al jazeera, bank of search and rescue teams in florida, still searching for survival hours after the remains of a partially collapsed apartment building was demolished, the renewal deaths have been confirmed, bringing the total to 2700. 900 people remain missing. the government says the demolition of the apartment block in sir. science will help efforts now in the 12th day, plans to destroy what remained of the building or brought forward as the region. braces for tropical storm alpha or and galico is live for us in science, florida. so 1st of all, let's start with the storm and the people ready for it. well,

now with the now that the remains of that building has been torn down and the are they the search and rescue people being able to get into areas any hopes left on day 12 and they might still find people? well i just heard from officials that within 20 minutes about demolition happening and it was a very highly controlled demolition, rescues were able to get back on site. now that priority at the moment is to start digging new paths into places like the carriages which were below all those residences. which would i, i would guess give some of the families waiting for news. the loved ones, some hope, but we are approaching now 2 weeks since this collapse. and essentially at the moment what they are doing is recovering people's possessions and then falling them away so i can get them back again. but seeing this building collapse, the remaining part of this building collapse is just simply heartbreaking for all

the people that lived there for generations that had that lives. there had children and families that but it was a decision that they say was a devastating one, but necessary to increase that scope of work and allow these rescue crews that have been working non stop around the clock and to get into those areas of the building that may still hold survivors, but as each hour passes, those hopes i have to say a fading. thanks so much and the galico. the storm is soon going to make landfall in central cuba forcing thousands of people the fleet path, 180000 have been moved to say for areas as the country braces for heavy flooding. elsa is bringing winds peaking at 100 kilometers per hour, weakening as it moves across cuba. it's expected to make landfall in florida on tuesday. still ahead on al jazeera, the u. k. prepared to live with the virus, the prime minister announces lifting of mandatory mosque rules in england.
