succeed and a certain criteria are met, give us a in the conclusion is both sides. prisoners should be release the blacklist should be removed. there must be no attacks on the provisional capital city district should not collapse. there should be no military activities and populated areas. a space of trust should be built among guns and 90 days must be allocated for negotiations. so we can arrive at or result box reality on the ground is fall from that. as the group is made, major gains in the last few months, taking advantage of a power vacuum of us and foreign troops leaving it claims to be in control of more than half of the $400.00 afghan districts across more than 20 provinces. including border towns. this week, more than a 1000 afghan troops fled into 2 g stone after italy, bon offensive in the north along the border. telephone fight is also on thursday. captured a keyboard,

a crossing with iran. russia has warned it will use force if any cross border violence occurs, but the never him make sure that if we see a steep escalation of pensions on the of the project border, the taliban has quickly taken many border districts. and now has control of about 2 thirds of the border with tajikistan. a russian military basin tajikistan is equipped with everything necessary to help the republic in control in the border situation. if needed, additional measures will be undertaken in the spirit of the russian public alliance . to prevent aggression or territorial provocation. last week, the afghan government told i'll just there, it's won't collapse as a result. but the tyler bond says it wants to lead an inclusive government that respects minorities women and men in education unemployment. the tal about have demonstrated no appetite whatsoever for any concessions they and they have consistently told their own membership. the men who are fighting on the ground is

that they have one on the ultimate goal, which is complete military victory and re establishment of a taliban dominated government without any form of coalition with any other parties . in moscow. the tyler bond said at once he monetary and support to continue in areas under its control that agencies are struggling to get medical supplies into galveston. many health workers fleeing the violence and escalating the conflict pandemic that continues to spread. and now a natural disaster in the form of the recently declared drought. and all these events are unfolding in the context of one of the largest and longest standing humanitarian emergencies in the world. gonzalez, the 3rd most displaced population in the world. and yet to see a peaceful solution to decades violent height of al jazeera, let's not speak to the mitre babich as a political analyst at fia. enjoy a state owned russian news agency who's joining via skype from moscow. thanks for

speaking to us on al jazeera. so does russia have no choice really now, but to take an active role and i've got to start as it looks towards as border with subjects done with, as you know, they taliban reportedly controlling about 2 thirds of that border. well, certainly russia will logged into ever getting his tongue. this question was asked for a minister and he said it was absolutely out of the question that gosh, it would be the mistake that we made, the 979. and that mistake was made, primarily because the soviet leadership was concerned about possible american influence in, again is 979. now, of course, russia is going to how, if there are problems on the rush of a lot get didn't want me to carry any immediate tv is never getting your service our thought about it. so get back the neighbor in the form and so that you publish,

it just supported the position groups that operate from the african territory against the government. so these countries now these, these funding groups are almost nonexistent. 20 years. right? i mean, you say that russia is going to help subject has done, but certainly russia has its own interest in subject has done with its largest foreign military base operating in the country. so presumably, russia would be very concerned about any spillover of conflict from, of gone just on into, not only to just on, but other, a central republics as well. i think everyone should be concerned about that. and i think it's a good time for nato. and for the west lodge to recognize and to see finally, the organization that we have collective security feature organization c s t o. until now late or pretend that these are going to zation does not exist. but it's

all the c s t o corporation started c s t o, that's kind of how the central asian republics defend themselves from civil incursions problem. they're going to territory. let's hope that these incursions will not be significant. what is russia strategy for of gone? it's done going forward, you say that it won't go into the country just like the invasion back in the 1979. but how far is it willing to go to fill that military and diplomatic vacuum that's now been left as a result of the u. s. and nato troop withdrawals? well, we have all the way the bottom, even though the show renovation is prohibited in russia at the bottom. do you might have wanted to do this. we have a very powerful large port miracle who has one where the lead us. and he says that them learn some of the lessons all these 20

years. so hopefully it will be different from what we saw you the 99, because of course everyone is interested in stable. developing is just insane. it's insane on the side of the soviet union as donated to make, i'm going to start menu country. what kinds kwasic, european democracy, that's not going to happen. and again, we have a lot less than americans. now, i think to give that we should do something to revise the span from becoming what it was in the dmitri roberts. thank you so much for joining us from moscow. now, china has accused us of leaving behind a mess. and i've got to stand by hastily withdrawing. true. so we all find you in the united states, disregards its responsibilities and obligations,

and withdraws troops from afghanistan hastily dumping the mass and war on the african people and countries in the region. further exposing the hypocrisy behind us as defense of democracy and human rights. after us withdraws from i've gone a son, another western power france is now shrinking its military role in the fight against arn groups in africa. so hell, region, presidents, him anyway, my con says france will start closing its bases in northern molly before the end of the year and my co host, the leaders of the g 5 countries. molly cha, burkina faso new year and more tanya, in a virtual summit, he had announced last month that france would withdraw most the 5th, $5000.00 soldiers in the region. let's speak to nicholas high, joining us from santa guard senate goals capital dot com. so france, announcing a draw down of its operation in the last month, what's come out of the virtual meeting that was held today. nicholas,

i think the french president mccoy is trying to reassure the members of this g 5 to help coalition forces. if we're talking about the countries mauritania, and use year re kina fos. so molly, all countries in effect, under where there's been an uptick of attacks from our groups affiliated to, i'll call you there's a group edge, a button to said to the slide one loosely mean it, as well as the isolate affiliate is the slightly street in the greater so haro, we have both launched attack in burkina faso. molly uneasy air in the past months, so they're trying to, trying to reassure the african partners as well as the international partners to be the united states. we're noting that walls president michael was meeting with, with the african leaders. his minister of defense was meeting with the american counterpart in washington, d. c. and out of d. c came the statement that the united states will continue to support france and

its operation in the hell and the french saying that it needs the american support to fight off armed groups. in this i have has been 7000 death to 1000000 people displaced in a lot of instability within those countries. political instability. we've seen that chad, the long time leader is d, be killed and replaced by his son. and then in molly to cruise in the space of 9 months. and so the french president made a manual quote is reading for reelection next year. is trying to find a way out for france that's been on the ground for the last 9 years in molly, in this whole region, but make no mistake during the french forces have been on the ground in africa for more than a 100 years. and it continues to have any will continue to have, despite the announcement made basis in former french colonies where it still has a strong and military and security presence during thank you so much that goes for

that reporting from the car. according to south africa has dismissed an application by the former president, jacob zoom out to suspend his prison sentence. zooming began, serving a 15 month term for contempt of court on thursday. after being found guilty of failing to hear before corruption inquiry, the 79 year old has launched several legal challenges to try to stay out of prison . plenty more had on need, obviously renew, including running on empty families and indonesia, search for oxygen of the country. struggle to contain the latest cologne of virus outbreak, and with 500 days to go until the world cup kept har prepares to welcome a 1000000 found to the tournament. ah, the 1st people have been killed in a fire at a factory in bangladesh. it's feared many more remain trust inside the building.

lexi o'brien reports. i don't think through the smoky, hey, emergency workers battle a place that's been burning from the day. this was once a food and beverage factory and roof gunch, an industrial town at 25 kilometers east of the capital docker, the 5 story building. now a child shell. it's believe the fire began on the ground floor and sprayed quickly because of the chemicals and plastic partial stored inside. the main gate was said to be locked trapping many workers. they were in state brought out and bodybags, covered in ash and dirt and packed into wasting ambulances. wow, it was la relatives waited overnight for news. as flames lit up, the darkness and smoke billowed into the sky. i felt like my brother worked at the 6th floor of the factory. i lost communication with him after 5 pm this morning

till switched off. oh, god helped me. i didn't do that. we came here because my niece was not answering her phone for a while. and now the phone is not ringing to worry. while some people were rescued from the roof, several others were injured when they jumped from the 2nd and 3rd floor to escape. the situation is very critical. the roads, 2 sides of the building, our vehicles can access the other 2 sites. there's also no way for vehicles to move on and it's very risky to go higher and now we can go higher due to the immense factory, 5 common and bangladesh, where many of the businesses operate illegally and without safety measures. big waste and brand, which employ tens of thousands of low paid workers there had come under heavy pressure to improve conditions. authorities did impose tougher safety rules after

more than 1100 people died in a garment factory collapsed and darker and 2013 just months earlier. a 112 workers had lost their lives when they were trapped in a burning factory on the outskirts of the city and investigations been launched into how this latest fire started. grieving family members, a demand and answers, and justice alex here brian al jazeera police in haiti say to haitian americans on more than 20 colombians are behind the assassination of president jovan al louise columbia. as government says, early investigation suggests that some of the men involved were retired. members of its military movies was shot dead during a rate at his home. on wednesday, patty cole hain, before the very public display imported prince police load 2 men into the bed of a pickup truck. same day may be a part of the arm gang that allegedly assassinated president juvenile marie. later

paraded in front of the press, the outside of the police station were several suspects are being held in. angry crowd gathered, demanding the suspects. be turned over to them. those guys killed the president. we are going to make them suffer. now that the police have found them and taken them to jail, we want them to burn today. the haitian police, you said the 28 attackers have been identified. 26 colombians and 2 americans of haitian descent. he said 8 were some of the run and 3 had been killed. and in a surprising turn, the colombian defense minister acknowledged some of the suspects had been in the colombian army. they might be in response to the assassination of the haitian president. today, interpol has officially requested information from the colombian government and the national police about the alleged perpetrators of the fact. so initially,

the information indicates they are colombian citizens retired members of the national army. we've given instructions by the national government to our police and the army to collaborate in the investigation. to clarify these facts immediately, public force is fully at the disposition of the sister republic of haiti. this is all unfolded among a political backdrop of confusion about who is actually in charge. well, 1st i would say that it is still, it is our view and we continue to call for elections to happen this year. and we believe they should proceed. we know that free and fair elections will facilitate a peaceful transfer of power to a newly elected president. and we certainly continue to support katie's democratic institutions. movies had been ruling by decree after the majority of parliament was dissolved in january last year. now both claud, joseph and ariel henry, both senior politicians claim they are in charge. haiti

a desperately poor country where the conversion of virus is spreading. violence is surging and political uncertainty rules the day. and now international mystery of who assassinated the 53 year old president. and why had to call him al jazeera washington. let's get more from andy gallagher, joining us from miami and he so again, so many questions remain unanswered. do you have any news detail for us about the assassination and who is behind us? i mean, those are the central questions for the investigation that is going forward and it appears at the moment they don't know what the motive is and they don't know what they're calling or who they're calling the mastermind behind. all this is what we do know is that at least 2 dozen of these alleged assassins all colombian nationals, to others are americans. the patient descent who lived here in florida there. and there's no indication that they were had any kind of military background, but at least 6 of the colombians is set to be ex,

armed forces from the nation. so colombia is helping with that investigation. but at the moment in haiti, it seems like any anger there is, and there's always a fair amount of anger in the nation, like haiti is being directed towards the fact that these alleged assassins were foreigners. we've seen those social media posts of ordinary haitian citizens rounding these men up apparently finding them themselves and they are slightly bruised and battered, but then turning him over to the authorities. but at the moment, the st. support of presence is set to be quiet. the enter in prime minister closures if it's telling people to get back to work and asking for the airport to wait. but of course, the border with the dominican republic is still close because their affairs over a humanitarian crisis. and people want to try and get away from that situation. but overwhelmingly, i think at the moment things seem to be fairly calm in have people are scared to leave homes in case what my next? because this is, it tend to box in the next dream. the precarious moment for this nation with no

lead, there are of course arguments about who is now in charge, but essentially the parliament in the senate haven't really been operating for a couple of years now. and i haven't been election since 2017. that was supposed to be some in 2019. that didn't happen. i mean, while i'm always his wife martine is here in miami, she's being treated for gunshot wounds and it's set to be stable. and the couple 3 children announced that to be in a secure location. thank you so much and gallagher for that update for miami. me south korea plans to raise covered 19 restrictions to the highest level and the capital on monday. and that's because it's facing what appears to be, it's worse, waive the measures also apply to some neighboring regions of sol. school down bars will be closed and restaurants will only be allowed. limited seating. one leading health official as warning numbers could double by the end of this month. the delta

variance is being blamed for the surge with reported cases of the strain tripling and just one week. tougher restrictions are also going into effect and thailand's capital and at least 9 provinces, bank hawk has struggled to contain a surgeon cove in 1900 cases in the past month. the new measures will limit people's movements including traveling between regions. infections are also going up in indonesia which set a new daily record. many hospitals are at full capacity, are ready, and patients are being turned away. people are now scrambling to find oxygen to care for their relatives at home. just the washington reports from b. cassie, you're the capital to car, to the need to be and capital oxygen isn't increasingly precious commodity as hospitals in java run out of room for the sick people fight for their loved ones to survive. so mom i had trouble finding oxygen last night. i went to 5 places including this store and

a large medicine market. all stocks ran out. mean auntie is trying to care for her elderly father at home. he's diabetic and has problems with his heart and kidneys. his oxygen saturation is low, but he could not get a place at you caught his crowded hospitals everyday. she struggles to find oxygen for him. the tank is super difficult to get. we bought it and then suddenly the owner said they needed it back because it also got cova and we looked around and got this big tank. but it's difficult to refill these public health clinic in because he is trying to reach those who couldn't get admitted to hospital. but these doctors are also struggling with shortages. we need need about oxygen per se, and bill and then also the medicine because we see the condition. so we need to see fit in this. if we can find it. dr. ernie says

the government's data doesn't tell the full story because so many people are dying before they take a p. c r test. oh we feel so bad because right now, there are a lot of loss at home. sometimes we have report report before reported to us the someone died at home when we checked the body with onto her team tried to monitor patients in the area, but there are more than 300 of them and only 30 health workers. as hospitals reach capacity and are forced to turn away critically ill people, roving teams of public health clinic work is a trying to reach those in need of medical attention to monitor their condition and to provide them with oxygen and medication. but there are too many patients and not enough medics and they don't have the time or resources to help everyone in need.

the ministry of health says it is trying to increase medical oxygen production and add more beds in hospitals. but each day, more and more people are falling in because of the very because supply and ready to go. so why help us find the help us that they need the way, but how could it be without even the prospect of getting medical care people continue to die in their own homes in front of their loved ones. jessica washington to 0 because he drug maker pfizer is expected to seek us approval to authorize a 3rd dose if it's current of iris vaccine in the coming weeks. it's research shows a booster jazz generates antibody levels that are $5.00 to $10.00 times higher than after the 2nd dose. us regulators say fully vaccinated, people are protected from current variance and they don't need an extra job. well, this comes with current,

a virus cases across the u. s. are rising rapidly compared to last week's birth and fears of a new outbreak. the new infections are being blamed on. the delta vary in which is now the dominant code with 1900 strain in america gear, but these on those joining us from new york so which states are most at risk here, gabriel, what kind of numbers are we talking about? yeah, i mean, 1st quickly, the good news in the united states is about 47 percent of the population is fully vaccinated in more than 332000000 vaccinations have been administered. certainly the u. s. does not have a vaccination problem. what it does have, though, is a problem with not enough people that want to get vaccinated and a potential death problem there. in of 24 of the u. s. u. s. is 50 states, about half. the infection rate for corona virus is going up by a rate of more than 10 percent. most of the states that are seeing the biggest increase, primarily being driven by the delta delta variant. states like arkansas,

missouri, alabama, parts of texas and even a few pockets of florida. these are areas where the infection rate is going up sharply and death is increasing. there as well in the bided administration is deeply concerned about this. and it's basically an issue of people not being vaccinated. u. s. government has said that in, within the last month, 99 percent of the people who have died from corona virus or people that had not been vaccinated. so the bite administration is pushing out all sorts of new strategies to try to get people vaccinated. try to educate people that are still worried about the vaccine because they clearly see this could potentially could be a huge problem going forward in the us. here as the u. s. economy moves forward and his people go back out again in a sense of this country getting over this virus and speaking of the vaccine. gabriel, what can you tell us about 5 are seeking us approval for

a booster shot. a 3rd job. yeah, there's a lot of confusion about this, but the announcement by pfizer law on thursday that they are pushing or researching if you will. this booster shot came as a big surprise quite frankly. and late thursday, the c d. c and f. d a. the food and drug administration, the 2 bodies here in the u. s. that approved vaccines essentially came out with a very rare, unusual statement late thursday, basically saying hold on, we don't think anyone needs a booster shot at this point. and so pfizer is basically saying they're researching it, they're, they're studying it. and in the coming weeks they plan to present their data to us health officials for them to examine. but they're thinking that perhaps a booster shot will be needed for people that got the pfizer vaccine, the u. s. government clearly pushing back saying not so fast. we do not think

that's necessary. let's remember that all the vaccines here is still under emergency youth authorization. so the u. s. government is basically saying, let's get this past emergency you thought authorization for the main vaccines before we start talking about a booster shot. but bottom line is we do expect in the next couple weeks from pfizer to hear more information about their data on what they think this booster shot will do and how effective it might be if it's even needed. ok, thank you so much capers on the reporting from new york. still ahead on the algebra news, our future of cinema, where the con film festival to meet the youngsters hoping to make an impact on the big screen and then support things get a little out of control. as 2 of the biggest fighters in the world comes face to face in las vegas. ah, the

bit of a broken record but pots, a good description of most of the middle east, but it really is on the hot side. the hottest moment a cookie waits full cost of $51.00. baghdad at 49. now miss least not as bad. the further west you go, the onshore breezes keep the cooler in beirut and jerusalem even here is pretty woman about 30 degrees. the he overlay the temperature, you see this is the area real heat. it extends into the mountains of west and iran . enough is half as they could be because they're above sea level. but baghdad is hovering around 50 and has been, it seems for weeks now, if you want to get a proper relief head south in solar weather, how is cut in knots? the western edge of the monsoon winds, which means is almost permanently clarity and drizzling, or even sometimes sundry. and it turns nice and green. it's a rare area i have to say for most obviously it's dry and dusty, the very light winds. i don't know how that.
