the taliban has taken more territory in recent weeks than it did at any time since it fell from power 20 years ago. in may and controlled about 20 percent of ghana stone. but as us and other troops being withdrawing it sees the opportunity to ramp up it's offensive. within 2 months, half of the country has fallen under taliban rule. we have got a government is now facing a critical test as the fighters advance and so run the capital capital because you said it is a medical coordinator at the emergency surgical center for war victims in the center of lush cause god, he says he hopes the neutrality of his facility will keep his team out of the conflict of situation last week or so. security by disorder 8 the last the last 3 days, especially yesterday in the afternoon when you're seeing open flashes inside that you'd be close to the student center be received. so and the patients all the civilians. 9 patients were,

arises arrival and all the blog. and we cannot the, for the next, the next, they even hours different variety of injuries. we have my share. so all of them are we have not narrowed down criteria, but mission now we are taking only like like i think it is. and so we want to meet for the life saving surgeries. ready are better to reach more than 90 percent and in this case, you need to never just for the last a life saving procedures, we have in stock for 3 and a half months. so for all supplies of critical items, if you try to to get from, from our, our sensory now for communication and transportation, that is going to be an issue in the next days as well. in this moment,

there aren't any, any benches are on the facility itself. our main goal. ready is known, so we treat everybody as samuel about questions. we don't we don't ask who is from each party and we called this no trolley, he will help us to survive in the, in the next period. 6 months after season power and a cool man, my military shant is be naming itself a caretaker government. the domain own line is to become prime minister audio. you promised to lift the state of emergency by 2023 and hold multi party elections to the chain reports from bangkok. as an aerobics instructor, dances on the vehicles block of parliament, me and mar capital may be due on february the 1st. but at the general's thought, it would be a bloodless qu, they couldn't have been more wrong. months of bitter resistance and a violent military crack down with nearly a 1000 killed 6 months later,

the military chapter is renaming itself a caretaker government. although it appears it will still hold important positions . and the leading general giving assurances, elections will be held soon. we must create conditions to hold a free and fair multiparty general election. we have to make the preparations, pledge to hold the multiparty general election without fail to read, but is not clear under what conditions those elections would be held. since the qu, the military has outlawed the national league, democracy and sons who cheese party and rejected its landslide victory in november . new elections would take place under the military emergency laws, which will be in place for another 2 years. min online did say the military would follow the lead of an invoice sent by the association of southeast asian nations. but that invoice has yet to be appointed, and as yet has failed to take a firm line. as events have spiraled out of control,

as yet has been divided on ma'am, or in the last 6 months with indonesia, malaysia, and singapore wanting to take a hard line. but the generals here in bangkok appear to be wanting to give the benefit of the doubt to the generals in men. mark. what is a growing concern to the international community? is the worsening covered 19 situation in the country. more than half of the world population lives in countries bordering mamma, while inside those borders, the bars is spreading unchecked. the qu has resulted in a near total class. all the health care system and health care workers are being attacked and arrested. the virus is spreading through the population very false indeed, by some estimate. in the next 2 weeks hall of the population of men more could be infected with coven on the streets of young gone protest. as far as mamma's flags,

they say they don't want new elections. they just want the military to step down. tony chang al jazeera bank or millions of people across the us to be forced out of their homes within days after a nation wide motor totally mon evictions. expired president joe violence facing criticism failing to challenge a supreme court decision preventing and extension. the things was imposed last year to help slow the spread of covered 19 by easing crowding in homes. some states, however, have chosen to extend eviction, laudatory and beyond july 31st, including california and new york live now to my canada in washington d. c. mike, there are a lot of questions surrounding this, but one of the biggest ones is how they biden administration seems to have been taken by surprise. yes, indeed, rob. it was only on thursday that the bite and administration issued the statement calling on congress to pass legislation to extend the rent meritorious. now that is

a month after the supreme court ruled that they can be no further extensions. now in that particular supreme court case, the court held against the renters, saying that they could not carry out an eviction, but stating very clearly justice kevin, overwriting the judgement, that this would be the last extension that what would be required next is action by congress. now the biden administration obviously took note of this, the congress took note of this, and yet it's a month off to that decision that the by the next administration find the take section. and congress start speaking about legislation. congress is now in august recess. so no chance that they are going to take up the mantel and extend the more rhetoric and by legislation in congress. so you've got a situation where this was something that was known. that deadline was known a month ago. neither the white house nor congress acted on it until the very last

moment. the consequence that the millions of americans now face eviction, and also just to add one more point drop. there was some, a $40000000000.00 a portion by congress and a cobra relief bill last year. only some 3500000000. not that has actually been paid out to renters. so not only is congress slow in acting, it is also slow in acting on something that is had already taken a decision on so many, many questions, both for congress and for the white house in this luggage responds to the deadline . mike, thanks very much indeed. that's my kind of in washington dc. well, the numbers that surround americans, housing crisis are staggering. more than 15000000 people are behind on their rent. collectively, they are landlords more than $20000000000.00. the national lions to and homelessness estimates 17 out of every 10000 people in the u. s. can expedients homelessness on any single night of the year?

congress approved, as mike said, nearly $47000000000.00 in rent. really funding at the start of the pandemic. but it's estimated only 3000000000 or 6 percent has been given those to those who need it. all eric done is director of litigation of the national hazard law project. he's joining us now from richmond in virginia. very good to have you with us on ologist either. so mike was pointing out there, this is not an unknown problem. and yet the biden ministration seems to have been somewhat blindsided by all of this. and what is the situation that tenants now are facing in the us? thanks for having me. the situation is going to be a little bit different in every state. there are a handful of states that have imposed their own protections, similar to the beginning of the moratorium, or excuse me, the beginning of the mac where states and some large cities have their own local addiction or atoria or other protection that may prevent evictions taking place immediately, other states,

the way the actually the cdc election hall order was set up and still our plan works to actually start the eviction process and a lot of jurisdictions and they actually have eviction order is ready to go. so what that means is starting monday morning in some jurisdictions, especially in the u. s. like a florida community in florida. for example, sheriff's deputies can actually start physically putting kids out on the street monday morning. so hopefully we'll see more state and city stop up with law protection. i just found out about dekalb county, georgia there, atlanta as opposed to a new 60 day vocal moratorium, although we'll see more of of those happen. but a lot of places where you could see kind of being not just sued for eviction, but physically remote large numbers very soon. if those larger, the tenants do end up on the streets where they're going to go. well, that's

a good question. we even under present circumstances, a lot of communities, we didn't really have the emergency shelter resources to serve the existing, almost population. and with the, you know, potentially several 1000000 visions that we could see in the coming weeks. there certainly is not any kind of emergency shelter resource, but that capable of absorbing that number of people. typically when people are evicted, they may wind up basically doubling up with relatives or friends. they may have picked them into their household. lot of people, why not sleeping in cars? some people wind up and congregate shelters, but of course during the and a lot of those are not functioning right now. and a lot of people i know, you know, literally sheltered living under bridges are the ones or wherever they can find

space to sort of make it and can we could, we could see large numbers of kevin's like we really haven't in the past. going by past experience of this kind of thing in your knowledge of what goes on, what is the chance do you think that we might see certain types of tenants being targeted with the evictions to a greater number than perhaps other types of tenants are some groups going to be focused on as opposed as a priority say, as opposed to others. yeah, well, even before the panoramic kinds of color tentative face eviction and substantially higher rates than the renters, especially black women and black mothers are, were evicted at the highest rate of any number of graphics. and the statistics are showing that that's not only continued during the pandemic, but us even increased the renters of, of color. especially african americans are facing eviction dramatically higher

rates than any other group. and unfortunately, i think that's likely to continue not only were like women in sort of, you know, fish not isolated, housing instability before the pandemic. but you know, that's a demographic has been more heavily affected by the, by the health crisis itself. not only in terms of being infected with the virus and getting sick and has been hospitalized or even passing away. but also, you know, being affected economically in terms of losing jobs and having other adverse economic impacts. which of course, only makes it more difficult to keep the retina what eviction are correspondence? mike was telling us before that congress approved $47000000000.00 in federal housing 8. and yet only about 6 percent of it is actually made, made it to the people that actually need it. where do you think the money is?

well, unfortunately in the united states, we haven't had a history of having strong housing supports or any kind of emergency rental assistance programs and any kind of systematic basis in the past. and so when the funding was approved, starting last december, a lot of jurisdictions, a lot of states and cities, didn't have any kind of infrastructure to disseminate rental assistance at all, let alone that quantity of money. and so, you know, they're really we're starting from scratch, having to set up programs, hire staff, train staff, develop outreach materials to reach tenants and landlords develop, you know, just intake procedures and rules and they're going to verify eligibility and procedures to disseminate the funding. and so part of it is to spend, you know, the amount of time it takes to build these programs from, from the ground up. and then frankly, and a lot of parts of the country there seems to be a real difference to the point of tenants and the spread imagine sections. and

there just hasn't been the sense of urgency in some jurisdictions to, to get this money out to landlords. and, you know, we're seeing, you know, there are a couple of states that have spent, you know, high percentages of their alignment, solenoid, virginia, texas, all spent significant portions of their funding. whereas and other states, you know, it's only been a trickle of assistance that's gone out. eric done his director litigation at the national housing law project and we appreciate your time. so thank you very much indeed and you appreciate having for having me. thank you. funny, more i had on the news are including supporters of brazil is president raleigh in rio de janeiro as the south threats rates on voter fraud. also indonesia, last generation social workers struggle to find foster care for children often by the panoramic unexplored scenes in tokyo as the main. hi, john gold is shared between

deisel and almost 90 of the groups fighters have been killed. if you open airlines has strongly denied any involvement in the military campaign into the airline released a statement to counter a flooding, evacuations, and social media. that said, there was no truth to remove that it had been transported weapons and government troops to the northern region. the company said the reports were baseless and had used photoshop images make it look like troops were boarding, its plains, the u. s. and the u. k. have condemned and attacked them. is really operated commercial tanker off the coast of amman, which they say was carried out by iran secretary of state and to be blinking said it was unjustified and follow the pattern of belligerents from toronto. iran has denied any involvement. 2 people were killed on board that stood in the master street on thursday when it was hit by what appears to have been a drone strike. israel is called for a strong response, or the other hand has more on this from west to somebody where we don't have

details of the evidence. they are speaking about what israel is saying. that is, that this was a drone attack and that drone effect specifically targeted the bridge of the vessel to cause a human last, or you sort of human human toll on this attack, non prime minister enough, the bennett was meeting with his cabinet to, to the weekly cabinet meeting to kick off the week while he said that he had no doubt whatsoever that iran was behind that attack even though you, ron says that the accusation is baseless. now on saturday, the foreign minister was busy on the phone. he spoke to his romanian counterpart and he also spoke to his british counterpart to give them condolences but also because he is trying to drum up support. he says that it was going on in the, in the gulf of arabia is not only attacking israel, but is,

is to disrupt commerce international commercial shipping. so he's trying to drum support through that. we also know that it is seeking for the un security council to meet urgently you can then iran and is quoting for an international investigations approach. i have both sonata rally is taking place in brazil's real diginero. it's in support to the far right president's proposal to replace the electronic voting system with paper ballots. both and auto says it's necessary to avoid the voter fraud in next year's election. when you have has the latest from rio de janeiro. he's been trying to convey the have that the next year's election will be rig. and the only way to avoid fraud is to change my chronic voting system has been used for the past 25 years. and by which was the,

like, the president look paper, a valid one. now this is because even though you suffer in popularity and the reason won't show that he would lose next year's election to former brother generally enough to rule of those who from the workers party. so i and supporters want this, but the problem is the defense minister has told them out who is the military allowed to press your phone to say that they should go to change the system. and this was not well taken at all was the south, and by the opposition, they said as a military pressure in a country that has had a dictatorship. so this is why so now with the opposition taking to the streets for 4 times already since may asking for both of us and,

and both. so now also trying to show that he has popularity by having these rallies . 7 on the street. so is this a show of force on the street? basically, turkey's president is hoping to promising help for coastal regions scorched by nearly a 100 wildfires. 7 people have died, most of the files and now under control, sort of reports from men of god. it's a time in one of the worst hits provinces. clear blue skies lost in a haze. and the once green forest of southwest and turkey had been painted black, the white fire started on wednesday, across 4 locations in the province of. and tanya found by strong means the quickly spread to neighboring regions. but soon, 26 provinces, far and wide, began reporting similar fires. several people have been killed and hundreds of others injure,
