to power people in power investigation, bureau, 39 cache for kim park, one on a jazeera what's most important to me is talking to people understanding what they're going through here. it just either we believe everyone has a story we're hearing ah, the polls or the hospital come under attack and have done this done as fighting between the taliban government forces intensifying. ah robin what you know? they're like my headquarters here in the hall coming up in the next 30 minute. me about military jones as a close. it's now a transitional government led by a prime minister, 6 months after seizing power, and a qu full so rushed to get out of hong kong as

a controversial immigration law comes into full, the good people from entering all leaving the city. today, i stayed on behalf of the new zealand government to offer a formal and unresolved apology and breaking the silence. new zealand prime minister says story for a racist rates of pacific islanders half a century ago. ah, welcome to the prego. we begin in going to spawn government forces are fighting against taliban assaults on major cities. rockets have struck kandahar airport in the south or flight sent an out of the city and i canceled the tele buns offensive in that form a stronghold is going on. as it also attacks, lasker guard the besieged carpet of helmand province. now that the ass gonna false has been blamed for bobbing a private hospital, killing at least one person. the owner says that the sit,

he was targeted because the military wrongly believe that taliban fighters were being treated. the one was system. i said it was some of the hospital was bombarded, but there were no taliban in the hospital. there were only 6 staff members and i was pharmacists and nurses, and our 2 nurses were wounded. a patients caretaker was martin, and another patients caretaker was wounded. title in the how do we request from both sides not to destroy any public property that can affect people in the future of f. kenneth's done by the government and taliban should be careful. the taliban should not use those places and the government should not bomb bob those places. but elsewhere, the west of the country, the taliban is advancing, fast and harassed, which has a border with iran. the group took control of the road to the airport and flight since the city will also halted on wednesday. that's bringing charlotte. bennett's correspondent in cobble of the fighting continues to develop and continues as the story develops here. and i've got to start a great deal of pressure overnight for the authorities. 3 large cities,

all under intense pressure from the taliban. less guy is really the worst heavy fighting inside the city communications have just been cut off unless we talk to someone about an hour ago, a resident who said that he was told that communications were about to be shut off . now we can't get hold of him. when we're on the floor into him, we got a heavy gun fire in the background. he said everyone is hiding in their homes, and the fighting is about one kilometer from the government compound in the center of the city. this kicked off yes. today when residents were telling us, but how about we are actually inside the city and that they were fighting with ask and military kind of street to street. we were seeing videos of fires burning in the city and then the most to lease of the ask and special forces were slow and last night. and now that fighting continues. there is it strikes from the us and also from the ask and treat inside the city. so incredibly dangerous the civilians

between these strikes and the fighting going on straight straight, all of them hiding in their homes. and now without communication on what is actually going on in the 2 other city or kansas city is the 2nd biggest city and harasses the 3rd biggest city. both of them have have been kind of surrounded, if you will, by the taliban. and they kind of prodding at the outskirts of the cities that's been going on for several days now. that strikes can ha city be a food civilian flight stop because walk with a horse and be a put in her rock. we understand flights of just resuming after reinforcements arrive to be this morning. not president ghani spoke in a cabinet meeting this morning. he said, we expect the security situation change in the next 6 months. he said, well, focuses on securing the cities and that we don't think the telephone really care about pace, the taliban. on the other hand, i actually kind of basing the here at tree games speak for themselves to taking

more and more territory in the rural areas surrounding the cities, putting them under the intense pressure, and then they can take that leverage back to the negotiating table. so all of us with that update, thanks for joining us and cobble now developing news coming out of me and my where the military jones has announced that it's forming a caretaker government. the middle line will become the prime minister hours earlier. he promised to let the state of emergency by 2023 and whole multiparty elections. it's been 6 months after he sees power from the democratically elected government counseling. sushi not more than 930 people has been killed and thousands more arrested during the current. don't you know, don't have it in the meantime, we have to do the thing that should be done. then we will take 6 month to prepare for election according to the loan. we will accomplish that provision of the state of emergency by august 2020. let's go over to tenny chang,

his line for us. same bangkok in neighbouring thailand, and it does seem tony that the head of the military gender is potentially rebranding himself and those in charge. yes, but i think that's exactly the point. as a question of rebranding, nobody else is going to be stepping in. we're not going to see a change of personnel in any way. the statement that was released a couple of hours ago says that the new can't take a government or transitional government will be headed, or the prime minister will be the head of the say, see the state of ministration council, essentially the magenta, that's going to be min online himself, the deputy prime minister will be the vice chair of the s a c. so it's going to be exactly the same personnel. i don't think we're expecting any substantial change of one would imagine they are going to rule essentially in exactly the same way. and i think the key is also about those elections that he promised today, which he said would be multi party and will take place within 6 months time. well,

under what conditions are those gonna happen? that's going to be held under the emergency laws that we heard and now going to be extended until august 2023. now those emergency laws have allowed the military to crack down. they've killed more than 900 people in brutal crackdowns on the streets . people who come out to protest the military coup of february the 1st they've also used the laws to disband the n l d, the party, the one a landslide election in november of last year. the military. and it's really only the military alone says was fraudulent. so i think many people will think this is just a case of a wolf in sheep's clothing and show many in the international community will scoff at the thought of free and fair elections and be about as it stands now. and people there wondering what's going on, but feeling completely abandoned by the international community as well. absolutely. we've seen lots of condemnation from the united nations from western

powers, even from around this region. se, se, asia, which does have an awful lot of cloud with mamma. and yet, the international community really hasn't done anything substantial. we've seen some sanctions put, put in place by the united states by the u. k. by the united nations. we've to see her lot of rhetoric here amongst the associations, southeast asian nation. but really nothing has come to bear, which will really change the direction the minute she's going. and there's one suggestion that a meeting of the association, southeast asian nations, to morrow to decide on an envoy to be sent to me on my could be putting some pressure on them. and indeed, men on life said in his televised address to day, the mamma would follow the advice of the appointed envoy. but even that process has been very long and prolonged and has seen considerable divisions within us. yet we

know that indonesia, malaysia and singapore have wanted to chicago issue condemnations of the crackdowns that have been seen as the military have gone off to protest is on the streets. but they've been held back particularly by thailand in one country, which could bring an awful lot of influence to bear on mamma. but here as over there, the government is essentially run by generals and it's felt very close. relationship is probably holding us back until he any really firm action for the update. thanks so much, tony. checking the force in bangkok, controversial changes to hong kong. immigration will have come into effect. could it say it'll give the government sweeping power to stop people from coming in or out? thousands have been leaving before it came into force and as they trim brown reports from hong kong, but figure is growing. hong kong international airport is a quiet place these days except here, the check in area for flights for london. these people are not going away for

business or pleasure though. they're leaving for good feeling, a mixture of anger, guilt, and defense. they're being forced out. this is our home. why do we need to leave? i mean, i have been living here for more than 30 years already and it's my home. so it's really set to leave the home and you see that everything is she's a finance worker and has no job to go to like others who sacrifice careers often for the sake of their children. we live here, so for many years we have our korean, we have family. yes. so it's a bit upset for the for the future of my child. and i think we need to do with the sex scenes and now being played out daily. as more people join a growing exodus from the territory where communist party rule is being tightened.

in the past year, an estimated $36000.00 people have left for britain under a special visa scheme. many supported over parts of the anti government protest movement, like dark su now in birmingham with his family. he says the change to the immigration law will encourage more people to go. i'm just joking. i think the hong kong government speeds up the immigration plan for many hong kong is for us. we did not plan to leave hong kong. it beginning, even after the protests in 29 team, like many others, he says he's unlikely to return to hong kong as city that still regard itself as asia's finest. the government denies the law gives it unlimited powers to stop people entering or leaving hong kong, insisting the amendment is aimed at screening illegal immigration at source, amid a backlog of asylum claims. and that people's right to free movement will not be effected. those who go to the u. k. have opted for a new life in

a country where koby 19 rates of soaring and job prospects scares. yet that seems preferable to remaining here. adrian brown, al jazeera hong kong sleeping, cra virus restrictions of come into effect in bucharest, on unvaccinated people in our bar from government offices, schools, restaurants, shopping, mouths, and commercial flights under 3 percent of pockets on these have received 2 jobs that it gets that he currently is subject to a one week pos, locked down after a sharp increase in kevin 1900 infections come, all hider has more from outside the vaccination center in the capitol. islam of all progress on is now reporting over $5000.00 cases daily, out of wage. the bulk of them are in the southern province of land, and particularly in the city of karachi and our just to give you an idea. a month ago, a friend was regarding 501 utility case here on a daily basis that has now gone into thousands. and of course,

it is concerned that the delta where you and richard far more dangerous and also the fact that it's more can gauges. i've got to order deep water, but it is going to be, i hear mongers start to try to stay red dog restrictions and to enforce door restriction. we have heard report from karachi that a large number of people are now congregating outside the waxen nation centers. there's been some pushing and shoving, even breaking of glass and doors because the people are not frantically agreeing for don't vaccinations after the government denounced the word stop people from traveling within the country and that industry that did not have 100 percent. right . and they did work good, would not be allowed to function well, still had here on al jazeera, the content is still through less leading me that they protested. days after

taking charge and take it. and i banish 6 people from the lympics for breaking cove at 19 rules. they stories after the break. ah hello, good to see you straightly a. here's what your weather is looking like. we've got a disturbance moving across the bike. it's spreading some wind and rain to south australia. so for example, adelaide, you could see those winds about 60 kilometers per hour. now i want to keep you in the loop of where this is going. as we had to war tuesday, we see rain shuffle into melbourne. i sydney, also, hobart, and just creeping into southern areas of queensland on tuesday. you know, for new zealand, south island, anything above 700 meters, we're going to see about 10 centimeters of snow as we have the system roll through . it's going to produce some rain and also some wind. so just something to be on

the look out for some dangerous travel conditions there in time for se, asia we've got storms here, but also some sunny spells. and i think the best bet of seen that sunshine will be as we head towards singapore and jakarta, on monday, next for the philippines, just getting hammered with heavy rain from the southwest monsoon, the american river, we know about 15000 people force from their homes. the 1st alarm has been activated, and water levels are now about 15 and a half meters just because of the continuous rain here. we're dealing with heavy pockets of rain across the korean peninsula, sol, a high of 30 degrees for you on monday. the weather bang. energy and change to every part of our universe. more small. to continue the change all

around the shape by technology and human ingenuity. we can make it work for you and your ah the book about what's going on there with me. so rob, the reminder of all top stories that's been attend fighting lasker guard the besieged capital of a gun. the stones helmand the province that the government forces fighting against the taliban and conducting several asteroid mammals, ruling gender has announced the formation of a kind of take government. its leader laying will become the prime minister and has

a formal and unreserved apology to pacific communities for the discriminatory implementation of the immigration laws of the 19th stephen teeth that lead to the events of the dawn rights on the immigration crackdown in the 1900 seventy's targeted pacific islanders who had been brought here because of labor shortages. the often violence dawn rage which the government has now apologized for. so police searching homes, businesses and even churches looking for over stairs to deport the response from the place was welling. it was very reactionary, and it was very violent. 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 his rare and use the london has to

meet strict criteria, including the victims being definable as a distinct court 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 leaders in new zealand. polynesian communities, welcome the apology, and they hope it will help people of the pacific islands move on. the alice then proud. because of who we are and achieve the very, very basic and simple goals for 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 insure future generations feel secure in new zealand. even if the apology has taken

accused him of staging. a constitutional cou, logged on to tunis were jealous. sam, a kimball reports. sam, a very important phone call between to this and washington d. c. what else was said? indeed, it is an important phone call. an hour is a significant amount of time for politicians. at this level. this was the by the white house's national security advisor james sullivan, who in the call with tunisian president i cited, urged the president to return to the democratic path. and make sure that you need to remains a state based on fundamental rights, strong institutions and the rule of law. it also urged that sy id name a new prime minister after he sacked prime minister, his him the c c last sunday,

as well as for parliament and remove parliamentary immunity among other extraordinary measures. and after the naming of the new prime minister, create a new government and in order to stabilize the economic situation, as well as to get to news of disastrous cobit 19 situation under control. now this comes on the back of repeated reassurances by using president high side over the last week since he took these notes here is that he will not become a dictator that he will protect fundamental rights and freedoms. and that. 3 that what he is doing or the measures he has taken are in accordance with the constitution and that he knows the constitution very well. in addition to that, there have been other statements from the u. s. earlier in the week, including the u. s. department and anthony lincoln, who have said that they stand on the side of juniors in democracy and urge any acts

of violence and imprints on freedom. so the up, they've been sorry, but some kimball a 4th into this not prove new leftist prison peddler castillo. it's thanks again to government protest stays after taking office. supporters of his rival in last month's election rallied in the capital casio, an hourly beat, conservative kicking for murray in a busy contested vote. the polarize the country as marianna sanchez reports now from lima. the only 3 days into his presidency and buddhist hughes already facing protest. angry at his choice of prime minister, the criminal terrorist went through the country. it's not fair, that's a terrorist has prime minister. that's why we protesting the. 2 nobody payment, we will not allow terrorists to take over our country is done will not pay like but i know you will use been investigated for an a legit apology for terrorism,

represent so far. president casteel has also visited the victims of an earthquake in the north of the country, telling to porters he'll focus on those left behind. i guess there are people who have been left behind for a very long time. we can't do much if we don't prioritize our health care. we will give mares and regional governors a better budget. min peruvian 20 to deliver the changes he promised during his selection campaign. but it'll be hard for them to trust the president who they say has been making mistakes from day one . the innocent, jesse that lima ah, the 6 people of her there, accreditations revoked at the tokyo olympics, the organizing committee chief says that they violated rules imposed to curb. the current of panoramic becomes just the head of the much anticipated 100 meter benz
