biggest cities, government forces tried to hold off the telephone. it's been like this for several days. most of the former and 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 herat airport to 30 minute drive south of the city taliban fighters and government forces have been battling across the road. that is bridge. the more commercial flight stopped till wednesday is the front line moved towards the city. so how many kilometers from the city was that fixed or fixed? 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. thought

a month ago, the majority of her, our province was government control or contested. now the taliban is in control of much of the province. her aunt said he in its surrounding districts of the only thing that stopped the fight was controlling a 300 kilometers stretch of road east. from the iranian border. former governor and merger had in later ismael hon has rallied his supporters to protect the city and both the ask and military 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. the should have arrived, but the defense ministry hasn't since anyone so far in the says he, africans carry on like the war is not on the doorstep. many putting their trust in hom spices. there is no good moral and military as

yet no plan to fight against the one hand and pushing them out of her rod. probably the telephone say they killed a top africa, a military commander. it's a soldier. pro government militia 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 there a cobble. as found your mirror as a south asia security unless at stanford university he sent the taliban offensive as the direct result of the power vacuum left by the us. so that, that one had been putting pressure on on this half of gun is done. proving to gap up nice and has 34 provinces. they've been, they've been coming off to nearly 17 provinces in these 2 capital, less a guy and in his mind and hit ought to be of hit. i'd probably in the thought above have come awfully close to breaching them. intense fighting is going on and he

doesn't to be planning on back. no, i think a big reason is the vacuum left behind by the us military withdraw, which has been hazard the us that the bite in ministration has not managed this transition. well, a lot of bad military choices were made. much of the gone at 4 feet is that has been grounded because there are no maintenance crude after the draw of u. s. military contractors. so as a result of that, the gun government has come under enormous stress, enormous logistical stress, as well as political stress because of a feeling of temperament, a political sentiment of being abandoned by that by the united states government. a lot of people were hoping that the diplomatic track, the peace process underway in the will, will lead to a soft landing. but even the reaction of the docs that took place in the i have not much the taliban remaining, flexible,

refusing to engage meaningfully with other guns. you know, and babies have gone to action have been, have been at this point, bleeding to them to do at least put their times forward. what is it that they want me? millions of americans are at risk of being thrown out of their homes and the temporary bond on evictions is set to expire and was imposed last year to help flow the spreads of a coven 19 by eating, crowding in homes and shells of the by the ministration has been criticized for fighting challenge, a supreme court ruling preventing an extension of the moratorium. we are already fighting a battle in losing a battle because there are people left out last night the night with the night before. there are people who are already and how, if we don't have enough, we don't have enough shelters, we don't have enough. we don't have the same housing for them right now. and that's

a failure. that's another moral failure on our society. she have returns, he has worn out from washington dc. we've known for a month that this was going to expire tonight. here in the u. s. the supreme court said that the centers for disease control had overstepped its authority by putting in my instance using this, this moratorium. and yet it was just 2 days ago that the white house press secretary said, well, we can wait to see what congress has come up with to prevent people from being evicted, to which the congressional leadership said what i thought you were going to do something about says we weren't going to do something about this and we had this terrible charade on friday nights here, where the house of representatives, bacon leaned and they went through the motions of trying to pass something. but you can't really pause something in a few hours just before the august recess. the biden ministration says, well, we couldn't do anything because, you know, we don't want to annoy the supreme court because if we, if we try and challenges any farther than maybe they'll go off to some of the other

programs that we've instituted. because of cobra. what progress is a long said was look, have another executive order re institute this, and at least when it goes back to the court that will buy time for an existing program. but let's still has $46000000000.00 of cash, just lying there waiting to be dispersed to people who face eviction at least. then we'll give it time for that. that's to begin working. but the biden ministration didn't do that so. so here we are. if they have started as a very progressive and savvy, i've been looking at this with the last month, even for the beginning of the year, that you could get people on board given how many people millions of people are going to be affected by this. the estimates are between 7.4 and 11000000, according to statistics of been circulating in congress 7.4 in the next 2 months could be evicted. as n denisia grapples with the worst cove in 19 outbreak in asia, the number of orphans is rising. some have no relatives are left with little

imagine, not many questions about the sport. it was all about whether or not there is this link between the olympic games going on. on the rise, in cases in tokyo and it, and in japan itself. he's following the line, understandably, of the prime minister here in japan. and the governor saying there is no scientific evidence that there is a link between any cases within the village bait, with contracts or athletes and into the wider community. but he did admit not everything has been perfect as they are all the bizarre title of the 2 george and judo. cuz you have 12 silver medals decided to leave the athlete village and go in sight. seeing so they went in full national truck suits, went to the tokyo tower. one of the biggest source attractions is not exactly a low profile exercise. they were spotted out and about and they had their accreditation taken off the movement thrown out of the village. and then a couple of nights ago me said they were meeting out to finish the competitions in the park within the village meeting up from different countries having drinks

together. it ended up with the police being coal. and these was sort of things that normally would just be normal if not encouraged during the lympics, the mingling of athletes in different countries, the going out to see the host city beyond the sporting venues. but the reality is that simply cannot happen. when you decide to stage and like the games in the midst of a global pandemic, very difficult situation. i have a different situation there and take care of if we move on to some of the more regular events we got, the headliner event coming up. the mens 100 meters, what should we expect? i mean 100 meters has for so long being. if the vendor everyone in the world looks forward 7 and in, in racing, it has been because if you same boat winning the 100 and the 200 in 2008, 20122016 and not just winning it, but doing it with amazing career. i mean, when he 1st one it in 2008 is. she lights came on down the hallway down the track,

and he still had time to sharp box in front of the camera after about 80 meters and the glory of his own performance phase and, and the big personality brought so much to try and fail. he's now gone and it's a big challenge to try and fail fit to maintain attention on the schools and an opportunity now for some other athletes that are really trying that man. so i candidates, andre, the grasses is going to a career listed with silver bronze medals, often running after you sign both. he's got a chance to win a gold medal i later on tonight. and then this can be nice of south africa, africa, the fastest man he to contend to for gold medal. okay, well maybe keep an eye on it for the moment and the money thanks. join us from take it man miles, military ruler, has promised new multiparty election 6 months as the army seized power televised, the death may mean on young said his government is ready to work with any special

any of these places re add $43.00 degrees, also $43.00 degrees in doha. next, i want to take you to pakistan. you know, the northern portion of that country has been dealing with some flooding rains all associated with that southwest monsoon and its impacted areas like islam about, for example, further toward the south. sand and dust storms were a problem, but rain has fall in, so that's helped improve the situation in karachi over to turkey and we're talking about the wildfire burning east stuff on talia city in antalya province. you know that high, he continues, and also at times we will be dealing with some fairly gusty winds. so that is certainly not going to help with the firefight there. and these temperatures well above average, central africa, or storms are flaring up as we head toward ethiopia. south sudan pushing into the democratic republic of congo, and also the central african republic on sunday. further to the south. this is what your weather story is looking like. a nice stretch of weather, plenty of sunshine for cape town. 17 degrees habit roney 22 degrees below wales. 22

will be the high for you interest at scattering of showers. as we head toward the east coast of madagascar on sunday. that sure weather update sponsored pay cut on airways. join the debate. do not have vaccines reaching those who are most nice and amplify your voice. it allows a diverse community and how an array of different stories. no topic is off the table. it's such a tough ethical debate where there is obvious discrimination and systematic discrimination of play. people are thursdays for new, wasted, the stream where a global audience becomes a global community on al jazeera. ah

the me. again, what's going on to his reminder of our top story, this our afghan on 3rd largest city is coming under intense pressure from a ton of my thing is on going on the outskirts of herat group also talk. human provincial cities have come to hong and laska got millions of americans are at risk of being thrown out of their homes with a temporary ban on evictions. expiring. it was imposed last year to help play the spread of cobit 900 by even crowding in homes and shelton biden administration has been criticized for failing to challenge of supreme court ruling, preventing an extension of the moratorium and changes to hong kong. immigration will have taken effect on sunday for 6 day that will give all parties unlimited power to the people leaving the chinese control trade. last year, the position of

a wide range security law ceremony is underway. and new zealand prime minister has expressed regret for a race based crackdown on people who overstate that v. as nearly 50 years ago. yeah, i didn't violent degrading police rights to pacific island of the deportation, but didn't include over says from other parts of the world. grades have had a lasting effect. new zealand, pacific island communities. wayne have joined us live now from the old glenda, and wayne descend redundant, made that apology. what did it say? yes, just a few moments ago there were plenty of tears and emotion in the oakland town hall behind me were hundreds of representatives from the pacific island communities had gathered to hear that apology, delivered by the prime minister just send. and she said she on reserve at lee

apologizes on behalf of the crown for that period and the 1917 when the door rates took place on those specific island community. she said it was, there was no doubt that it was a race based policy that it was just discriminatory. and the statistics prove that this was a period like i say, in the seventy's, when these don't rage took place that has become regarded as one of your feelings darkest in terms of race relations. and it's a period that has had a lasting impact on those pacific island communities. me on any cool winter night unusual and main city. a taste of more tropical pacific islands can easily be found. oakland is the world's largest polynesian city, with indigenous moldy joined by generations of migrants from countries like some or fiji and tongue up. but the vibrancy color and contribution of polynesians haven't always been welcomed here. we were the people that were responsible for the

disintegration of, of the economy and the new zealand dream, the painters were vigilante group set up in the 1900 seventy's to defend the rights of modi and pacific islanders and to change the racist views held by many white new zealanders, we can educate them, they're not new to our way of life. let's keep stuff. one result of that sentiment was an immigration crackdown, targeting pacific islanders who had been brought here because of labor shortages. the often violent dawn rage, which the government has now apologizing for. so police searching homes, businesses and even churches looking for over stairs to deport the sense of injustice is still felt to day, mainly because it was only pacific islanders who were targeted, not the majority of over stairs who were at the time from the united states or europe, a formal government apology for past injustices is rare in new zealand. it has to

meet strict criteria, including the victims being definable as a distinct group that continues to suffer hom, connected to those historic events. today. many of those affected feel a sense of shame about what happened and reluctant to talk about it, even to their families. you would have just felt like you were trampled on in some way emotionally, spiritually, many, many ways. and i think that has been answered generational. the polynesian pent is welcome the apology, which have been campaigning for for decades, and they hope it will help people of the pacific islands move on. the l. a. stand proud because of who we are and achieve the very, very basic and simple goals. why we even came to this country. that's all we want. they also hope saying, sorry will help build trust between the island communities and the government and into a future generations feel secure in new zealand. even if the apology has taken nearly

50 years. will one immediate effect of the apology given by the prime minister, is that some of those families affected by the dawn raids in the seventy's beginning to talk about it now for the 1st time in almost 50 years. so for many people affected by that period, it is rather than the end of that period, it is almost a beginning really, really at the beginning of a period of reconciliation, of rebuilding trust. again, some people have been calling for compensation financially from the government. there was no mention of that from the prime minister summit also wanted the history of the pacific islands and polynesian communities to be taught in new zealand schools. again, she didn't quite go that far, but did say that they would provide resources to schools who choose to teach that history in their curriculum. so certainly a big day for those specific calling communities with that apology being delivered

by the new zealand prime minister and they, wayne hay and alton, thanks very much when peruse, knew left as present petro castillo is facing, protest, just days after taking office proposal of his rival in last month and action rallied in the capital lima got there, narrowly beat conservative keiko figured maury, in a contest and vote the polarized country. my son says, has more from lima, these are mainly opposition. people. people that voted more take off with the money, but right now they are not processing and per but against native you mainly of sure things don't be you know, as the prime minister you know the you. 2 are watchable person who has been considered almost every more than anything a person can well of the line people here are you don't apparently in the government in full memory. there are people of family, terry,

i'm many people who are really feel real close. 7 to not and other people in the movie, no syrian in government, you know the effect of this part. you, this isn't the 1st 3 days of government have been that's changed from rule has fallen. it has lost 70 percent. the people who voted for many of them are dis, consent there are anger is being showed in there. they're expressing the regular in the social media saying that they did not seem to have him put extremists in the cabinets ramos, to put moderates in the cabinets. you help them in general. so people are processing and they are saying they are saying that they feel the federal field has

betrayed them. washing tina has declared a 180 day water emergency for the parent river and from the most important waterways in south america. connecting argentina, paraguay, and brazil, bosses storage low levels of troy's bo report. i'm here in the city over the side of the province on time, duffy about 3 hours away from the capital. and this river that you can see right behind me is an around 80 percent of argentine, us exports leave the country through this river over 4000 ships like mechanical ships that you can see right behind me passing through this area. what's happening here right now is that this river has hit a historic low. it should be 3 meters higher, that it is right now. we're told by experts that are around 6000 cubic meters are being lost at this point. every 2nd of the part and i river right now, and this has a huge it back to an argentine as exports or now generation of electricity,

among others issues that are happening right now. and that's why the government of america fernandez, has declared the water emergency for a 180 days to assist producers among others of those affected by what's happening in the country. right now we traveled through the pad and now to find out what's exactly going on. it's almost 5000 kilometers in length, making it the 2nd longest river in south america. but now the water in the fight and i river you said its lowest in almost 80 years due to lack of rainfall. miami now own the camping area on the riverbank. she used to have to use a boat to move around, but not anymore. i mean, unless you go to during the summer there was a bit more walter, so we had more people, but you cannot reach this area walking. we don't have a lot of war. the river is crucial for argentina's economy with millions of tons of grain, beef,

and other agriculture exports passing through here. this place where i'm standing is in the middle of the river, there's no water left only sand. this is also part of one of the origin. tina's main export woods ships are being forced to leave around 30 percent of their cargo because of lack of water. the main concern for local people here is that the situation could get even worse. the file colombo is part of a group of environmental lawyers fighting for the future of the river. you might say it was more or less the climate change, whether alteration is extraordinary drought combined with scarce rainfall. we have to put it in context with what has been happening in the region. we're in the heart argentine as agricultural belt and we know that to has an impact on the environment . the last time the river with this low was in 1944 and many fear a return of the land mean. yeah. phenomenon. weather pattern that generates intense storms in some places and routes in others. environmental group say,

deforestation and forest fires in argentina. but i why, as well as brazil, i, when packing the river, i love the same you serious fires and deforestation in the amazon means you're diminishing the amount of vegetation that generates evaporation and puts moisture back into the air. if the situation continues, we'll see more sharp changes in the weather. we are concerned about what's happening in brazil because the parents, river and others originate in brazil. the government is urging people to limit their water use as preserving the piano has become a priority for all in big business and those who live alongside it. and this is happening at a very special time for this country. argentine is not only fighting up and democrats also fighting a massive economic crisis. poverty rates are on the rice. inflation is a major concern, a double digit inflation rates. argentina is currently negotiating, performing that with the international monetary fund over $40000000000.00 of

flooring debt. so there's a main concern of what's happening to experts in argentina. that's why the government declared that water emergency for a 180 days. and there's lots of concern about what could happen in the next 2 months if the water levels do not increase in rainfall. does not increase then this could have suddenly an enormous impact. no tony, on exports, but also on those who depend on this river to make a living. ah, there are, these are top stories i've got to sounds. 3rd largest city is coming under intense pressure from the taliban. fighting is ongoing on the outskirts of herat. the food also talked to him the provincial cities of kandahar and laska, gar. millions of americans are at risk of being thrown out of their homes as a temporary ban on evictions expired.
