of the u. s. wildfire season comes with the drought amplified by climate change. the dry conditions have helped fuel this fire in oregon, it's the nation's largest and responsible for the destruction of at least 70 home. so far. the impacts so big it's creating its own weather pattern, sending smoke across country to the east coast, contributing to hazy sky lines as far away as new york city. hot temperatures and high winds are also responsible for the fires with little respite predicted as the americans summer continues. hydro, castro al jazeera washington will. stephane as a counsellor at the climate council of australia and a climate change expert at the australian national university. east lane twice severe weather events are now getting worse. climate change is increasing the energy content of the atmosphere by trapping more heat. that means that the
11:07 am
conditions are getting hotter, but it also means that other extremes, both ends drought, then have the rain are also becoming more extreme. so this means that when you have drought, most of your drop couple with high temperatures, it makes forest really much more prone to burn, which is why we're seeing such dramatic and large fires now in western north america. at the same time, because the atmosphere is holding more water vapor, it increases the odds that will see extreme rainfalls, which are happening. of course in western india have also played china and europe just in the last week or so. so yes, there's a very, very good and strong body of scientific evidence to say that extreme weather events across the board are becoming more extreme because the climate change, they will become more common of the 16, the best and more severe. and the next decade or 2, that's because it's going to take us at least that long to get our emission trending down towards 0. so certainly up till 20302035. more greenhouse gases will
11:08 am
accumulate in the atmosphere, which means more heat will be trapped and more severe weather will occur and will become more more extreme. this means that we must prepare for this. we must learn to adapt to it and anticipating something we're going to have to live with at least for the next couple of decades. the us government is giving. i've gotten a son $100000000.00 in emergency assistance for refugees and displaced people. it includes those affected by the recent increase in fighting as the taliban takes more territory. funds will also be held thousands of afghan interpreters have been working with us forces to leave the country. president joe biden has promised continued support for the afghan leader. asked rough ghani. the interpreters may also be able to move to canada, where the government is launching a special immigration process for those who helped coalition forces of the local staff and their families will also be included in the same program. the taliban has
11:09 am
will and they'll be no peace in afghanistan until the new governments installed. earlier this week, the most senior us generals at the arm group now controls half of afghan sustan's districts. despite having withdrawn most of its forces, the us carried out air strikes to help the afghan government. diplomatic editor james base has mornow from cobble immediately and right now what the african government i think would like is additional support from the americans themselves. robin support the afghan military and we have seen in recent days, the american military conducting s strikes, even though the vast majority of american troops of left this country only a small number, guarding the u. s. embassy. so these strikes have been taking place from outside of ghana stone and certainly see your african officials. we'd like to see more of that at the moment to stop the taliban advance. we've seen in recent weeks that particularly concerned about kandahar province. i've heard from some officials that
11:10 am
concerned that the the taliban might try and bounce an operation to actually try and take kandahar city, which would be a huge symbolic boost for this. how about if they were able to claim a victory over? i've got a son seconds if he that's the nightmare scenario for the african government. what they're hoping to do now now eat is over, is to stop pushing back on some of those taliban games. the money that's going to the african military is, is showing that the u. s. is supporting the ongoing war effort of the afghans which the afghan government says, but basically defensive efforts to try to stop a taliban offensive. and of course, all of these things matter because there's no c spot in place. once you have a cease fire in place and a conflict, it locks in the 2 sides positions that then the go see a thing table right now though, it's a fluid situation and whoever has more territory has more leverage in the

negotiations and the taliban feel that they are moving forward and progressing and making gains, putting them in a dominant position around the go see 800 table. ah, the 1st gold medal has been one at the tokyo thinks, going to china's young ceos in the women's 10 meter rifle, competition athletes from russia and switzerland picked up the silver and the bronze medals are also being awarded in fencing, judo and weight, lifting later on saturday and richardson's in tokyo, where corona virus is continuing to present problems for the teams. and the games organizes we've got at least 5 members of the check team or check continuing tested positive for members of the dutch contingent similarly. and that manifested itself in competition today. when a check women's beach volleyball event was just a walk over for japan because the check team couldn't take part because of kind of
