a crucial border with iran. and now the city of herat itself is under pressure, offer an attack on the main you and compound that they've also taking control of the road to the airport and flights into the city ceased on wednesday. charlotte bellis has the latest on the outskirts of iraq, afghanistan stood. biggest city government forces tried to hold off the telephone. it's been like this for several days. a call before make an end. we are defending our land. we're not moving forward at this time because we don't want civilians to be killed or injured friday. this is the road to harass a port to 30 minute drive south of the city. taliban fighters and government forces have been battling across the road. that is bridge the commercial flight stop till wednesday is the front line moved towards the city. so how many

kilometers from the city was that takes or think united nations regional compound is also on that road. on friday the un blamed the tele bonsa hitting its perimeter with grenades and gunfire. although the telephone said it was caught in the crossfire, the un secretary general called the attack deplorable. going on a month ago, the majority of her, our province was government controlled or contested. now the taliban is in control of much of the province, herat city, and its surrounding districts of the only thing that stopped the fight is controlling a 300 kilometers stretch of road east. from the iranian border. former governor and merger had in later ismael hahn has rallied his supporters to protect the city and both the ask and military's response. hundreds of his fighters are on the front lines. yesterday the president called me and we spoke on the phone. he said he will

send reinforcements last night should have arrived, but the defense ministry hasn't since any one so far. further in this is he, africans carry on like the war is not on the doorstep. many putting their trust in homes vices. there is no good. and military can also get no plan to fight against either one and push them out of here are probably the tell a bomb says that killed a top ask a military commander. it's the soldiers and pro governor militias still have a chance to live if they surrender. the government says it's regaining control when sending reinforcements, including special forces charlotte bellis out to 0 cobble flash clients this week, and remote eastern afghanistan of killed at least a 100 people. thousands more. also missing nearest on is a taliban control province. but the united nations is negotiated access with the

group to support survivors. and diplomatic add is a james base has more from campbell flooding problems and noticed on which is in the east of afghanistan, mountainous areas and very high death toll wearing $113.00 people have been announced is dead there. but we're also hearing there a dozen still missing problems like shelter, $173.00 houses we believe completely destroyed at this stage, a lack of fresh drinking water, more floods on the way. and then the other aspects of all this is the conflict because noticed on like so many places enough kind of song is a contested province. there are parts of the flooded area under the control of the government parts and the control of the taliban. the afghan red crescent has been the main agency that's been on the ground there. they have been able to access the un trying to negotiate access currently. now in all the stories and following china is racing to contain, it's was covered 19 outbreak in month being fuel by the delta vary and 1st

identified in india, which is much more contagious health work as a testing millions of people of placed hundreds of thousands on the locked down priyanka group to reports. this is non jean international airport weeks earlier. it was steaming with travelers and an invisible enemy. the highly contagious delta variant of coven 19 china is now trying to prevent a health crisis. from getting worse. the outbreak started launching has spread to 6 provinces, the capital b jane, and now chanting, one of the world's biggest cities, day and night. china is doing what it does, best testing tens of millions of people. it is reasons to be concerned. child lead to functions where sure like the variant is more transmissible without strong prevention and control measures without strong therapeutic and immunization capabilities. the regeneration speed is very fast. earlier within $4.00 to $5.00

days, the viral load increased $2.00 to $3.00 times. but now within 3 days, the viral load may increase $5.00 to $7.00 times. tens of thousands of people have been put under locked down in beaching, an in chunks of province at a 1000000 more in the tourist hotspot of doctors here in hunan. for china, which impose the was 1st lockdown, it's strict methods are proven an effective passage high. you have tablets or existing prevention control measures are effective. the conclusion was drawn based on 2 basic understanding. the 1st is the scientific community understanding of the virus. it is still a corona virus at source of infection. transmission root has been basically clear. the 2nd understanding is based on the past practices of our prevention and control . but with researches calling the delta variant, ask contagious us chicken pox. b james tried and tested our snow against the virus,

me seen out of date, even though in the past when trying to do this regular steel. you see cities. i think the reality is that right now they, they, they switched to somebody cities that they will not be able to stop it more to speak to other cities and then it, because it is far more time transmissible. they think that the lockdown message will probably not work. then what works in 2020 china has vaccinated more than half of its people. but with jobs that have laur protection rates, it is one of the was strictest border controls, and has the capacity to increase health services at a short time. but like much of the world, china will now need to come up with affective measures to tackle this variance and repeat it's early successes against as far as bronco gotta,

i'll to 0 flag for you on the program. when a 3rd weekend of anger across france per 2nd time vaccine, passports, right. and then liberty of holding the camera on and clicking on the day life with the other. we take a test ride on the new electric most advice taking kenya. my storm. ah hello. thanks for tuning in, we are tracking a deep area of low pressure for central areas of europe. and you know, when we talk about a deep area of low, just think the deeper the low, the more intense the weather is. so let's go in for a closer look right now. a storms are going to rumble through northern areas of italy, switzerland, as we head toward austria at the czech republic,

school vacuum rate into germany. now south of all of this, we're still hanging onto that hot sunshine, bucharest, 39 degrees as we head toward sundays. so heat alerts still widespread across the bulk and also talking about the heat in turkey. we know wildfires burning east of until your city in antalya providence and unfortunately the weather is not going to cooperate here. that is to say it will remain hot so it will remain dry. and even at points the winds will whip up to about 40 kilometers per hour, complicating that firefighter ok off to africa right now. and it's been particularly when it's around the gulf of guinea, conic re scooped up nearly a 100 millimeters of rain. we also know northern sections of nigeria flooding there has destroyed about 1500 homes, some strong storms moving through southern bali and as we head towards senegal and sierra leone, we can also expect thunderstorms on sunday that your weather update. thanks for your company. the news

was a bank energy and change to every part of our universe or small to continue the change all around the shape by technology and human ingenuity. we can make it work for you and your business. ah, oh, a welcome back. watching al jazeera life from london,

look at the main stories now. far as ties ravaging, parts of southern turkey have now kill 6 people. present regular type, one is declared dissolves designs, the sample provinces, and a score for an investigation into the cause. security forces indonesia plays prominent judge per share. a creamy under house arrest is detention follows. president chi site pledge to lead a campaign against corruption. after he dismissed the prime minister, dissolved parliament and china is now raising to contain it's was kind of in 1900 out right and months, being fueled by the delta variants, health health workers are testing millions of people and placed hundreds of thousands in lockdown. now and other stories of following israel is accused of ron, of being behind an attack on an oil tanker off the coast of oman, which kill 2 people. the israeli operated on the most. it was attacked on thursday and what appears to have been a drone strike, a british security contractor, and a remaining crew member reportedly killed the us across carry the ronald reagan has

been helping the tanka israeli foreign minister has called for a firm response. i've seen shot he is a senior lecturer in middle east politics, university of bradford does the attack is the latest and a tit for tat shadow wars. he describes it between israel and iran, where vessels in the gulf region, often targeted with an off would be to so called shudder. what will be transformed has been on a change and to date on like what was happening 5 or 6 years ago. the other will no longer get rely on only proxy or maybe 567 iran and that, that it will avoid any kind of direct confrontation what the or did all the years, both iran and israel. i tried to go beyond basically deprived the proxy,

piloted and directly also a number of occasions that intelligent forces have targeted in nuclear scientists. in fact, you're on or even targeted damien nuclear facility. symbolic way is the latest country in southern africa, planning to dispatch soldiers help fight an arm group and they bring mozambique. government says fight affiliated with. i still have been operating in parts of comp delgado since 2017. they've been destroying villages and kidnapping local residents that harm latasha has more me baba is deploying soldiers to neighboring mozambique as part of the southern african development community. stand by force. more than 300 trips will help train muslim beeks army to fight an armed group affiliated to isolate 11 north of the country. but florida and

south africa have already deployed. other countries in the 16 member regional block are considering doing the same. the only cell is primarily the duration of, of the concepts and the member states, acetic would be able to maintain their own forces within the country. and this is exemplified by the d. c. conference. wait, it took longer for it to resolve the conflict within the d. c, but in this instance it's something that is not that that long. and that's the most we can be capacity to help with the regional states. i'm not the only ones getting involved. portugal the e u and the united states are training muslims, army or wanda, already has soldiers on the ground. the east african country says it's killed some fighters and it's army is pursuing others. this one is

a much bigger and just protecting one or 2 aspirations. i think, you know, the situation there is much bigger than just one is the lesson. so we are handling the into, you know, we're spitting with the muslim, become forces to restore order and sanity in, in a couple of the, the, the conflict in kabul. delgado province began in 2017 thousands of diets and been more than 800000 people, had been displaced. human rights workers worry the in the an extra troops could lead to more rights of the. so the question got these mormon. if the more of them become government, the muslim become security forces, have that child is there able to distinguish insurgents from ccsi? and what shows do we have at the stage that the fundamentals are hiding from both said they're going to wonder. i have to do that distinguish if they are able to be

done, could they please explain to add to the residence of cub god. how can d, e b is secure, then the sure that the fighting that is now going in cub, god will not effect in the conflict has disrupted natural gas projects with billions of dollars. some locals save a failure to distribute vos mineral, and also gas revenues to the local population is fueling tensions until that inequality is addressed unless they deploy more troops to northern mozambique is not a long term solution to the crisis. how to tulsa algebra, tens of thousands of people in france, protesting against so called vaccine passports. this is the 3rd consecutive weekend . the demonstrations have taken place. governments trying to make our health pass compulsory and bars and restaurants, but actively se amounts to a form of dictatorship. who brennan explains the cobit health passport has been

mandatory in france since mid july, with visitors to leisure and cultural venues like museums having to prove that they've already been vaccinated. tested negative in the previous 48 hours or recovered from the disease during the previous 6 months. but what's brought tens of thousands of demonstrators out onto the streets for a 3rd successive weekend. is the proposal to extend the passport to cover bars and restaurants and make it compulsory for health care workers to be vaccinated? she to go for it in i'm enough and i've resigned because i think we mustn't be blackmailed. i also think that we shouldn't be told what to do. and it's an obstacle to freedom. if now we need a virus pass to fetch groceries, go to the cinema or enjoy life after a grueling job. the past is a real danger for everybody. it's really an empty social thing. it's not if it is more so we are creating a segregated society and i think it's unbelievable to be doing this in the country

of human rights. i've never protested before in my life, but i think our freedom is in danger. france is in the grip of its 4th wave of covert infections. more than 24000 new cases. a day is more than doubled. the number of just when we get with the balance between individual liberty and collect the solidarity is particularly challenging here in france in particular, people lead as a violation of important give us, we are all equal and no one is the 2nd class citizen just because he or she decides against explanation, which brings up a problem with solidarity, which is the latter need a pillow system because they are risk groups that need to be protected from those with being. it's their personal choice, whether they do something for society or not. there is clear evidence that despite the demonstration for vaccine passport law is having the desired effective driving

up fractionation rates 3 weeks ago, just 40 percent of french adults were double vaccinated. that's now risen to 52 percent who had both jobs and opinion polls show that 70 percent of voters support the plan for compulsory vaccination of health care workers. the demonstrators on making themselves heard that they are a vocal minority holborn. and i'll just give us gymnastics simone biles as pulled out of 2 more finals at the tokyo olympics to focus on her mental health. 24 year old join, some of her teammates on a shopping trip in the host city on saturday. biles has now withdrawn from 4 of her 6 events. she'll be assessed daily before deciding whether to compete in the 2 remaining finals next week. now, in recent weeks out, there has been following the gross and popularity of electric vehicles. so in our latest report we look at motor bikes in kenya,

about $200000.00 new bikes hit the road that every year, nearly all of them run on petrol. but that could be about to change. out there is malcolm webb went to homer bay, where an electric motor by one electric motor bike is creating a buzz lots of like use in kenya is exploding because much less to buy and run than a car is good on the roads. and they can carry almost any kind of cargo. they're about 2000000 bikes on the roads. most of them are used to serve paying customers. the numbers, doubling about every 8 years, with their carbon emissions. it's a similar story in much of the developing world. all the riders we spoke to in this town in western kenya. they tired of coming here to the mechanic. most of the motor bikes made in china and india designed for better roads. the petrol power engines

where out fast, these people are not bringing bill or spare parts. and if you find the already, you know, the little bit expensive. so we will go for. busy about 3 puts on the well, but not said john on nuka. he's one of a handful of writers here. he's been given an electric motor bike to try it as few moving parts requires little maintenance and no fuel got come back into my care. when i used to petrol driven motor bikes. i could save $20.00 a month now with the electric bike, i can save about $80.00. changing the batteries costs less than half of what i spent on fuel. john says the cost savings make a big difference to him and his family. the buy he's riding comes from this workshop is in the capital nairobi. the swedish company called opi bus has developed the points here. lucy miguel is one of a team of engineers who designed them specifically for the rough roads. and for the

growing motorbike market, the biggest challenge will be making the price is competitive compared to the fucking feel bus. so we know how affordable our spot to really working to us to invest. but making sure that despite of bills here, design engineers just overall makes it very much cheaper. well, the ride is here. say they want to try the electric bike. the big question is which kind of bike goes faster? and the best way to find out is with a race the electric bike, quicker off the saw. go back back to the extent of it. as it got is said that the field thought that i'm holding a camera going on and clicking on the day life with the on the all of the writers we've spoken to glossy. how quickly can these bikes become available? now and to test the new technology,

one of us says it plans to start mass production later this. yeah, malcolm web al jazeera home a bay kenya. ok. so there's more in everything. why you're including, of course, latest on our top stories of bringing more detail on that in a moment. of course we're following the taliban rapid advances in afghanistan as well. you'll find more analysis on that on our website as well. ah, a quick look at main stories noun, forest fires, ravaging parts. if something turkey of killed 6 people to firefighters died on saturday, fish will say the fires of spread much further this year with hot weather and strong wind fueling the blazes. entire forest have been burned down and villages made by resorts evacuated. president russia type one is declared does.
