i my, my dear on, i'll get there. ah, we know what's happening in our region. we know have some get completed that others and not as far as i said, i'm going the way that you tell the story is what can make a difference. ah, government forces struggled whole territory in afghan as don as the taliban lay siege to 3 major cities. ah, no, i'm mary. i'm tomorrow. and you're watching alger there are also coming out are calls and indonesia for more to be done to help the children left orphaned by the corona virus pandemic. a battle russian and in big spring testing the protection of tokyo police claiming she was taken to the board against her wishes

the vital city of lush, regardless is the procedure capital of hell mon province. why some of the fist fighting has been taking place. and then government troops have also been deployed to the western city of herat to stop taliban fighters there advancing the towards the city where one person was killed and 3 others injured. when the african air force bombed a private hospital and laska, the owner of the hospital says that afghan forces mistakenly believe taliban fighters were being treated inside. meanwhile, a military spokesman has warned of the deteriorating security situation in the country. but do advocate in 3 provinces, the security situation is critical, especially in alaska, the enemy had some movement, security and defense. the forces of planning to intercept the enemy's movements 1st, then build defensive line and later launch offensive operations. my sued her saying is a pulitzer prize winning journalist and africanist on. i spoke with him earlier and

they couldn't have been more wrong. months of bitter resistance and violent military crank down with nearly a 1000 killed 6 months later the military to enter his 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 infirm, multiparty general election. we have to make the preparations, pledge to hold the multiparty general election without fail duty, but is not clear under what conditions those elections would be held. since the qu, the military has outlawed the national league for democracy, uncertain to 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 south east 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 and 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's 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 fast. indeed, by some estimates. in the next 2 weeks hall of the population of men more could be

social workers are reporting an increase in the number of children left orphaned around the country. and their cold from rights activists. urgent performs to ensure these children get the support they need say fear for the children who miss out on help because their parents just went unreported. also to go from and to to support those and strength and support system at the committee level. where we can get that information. authority say it is difficult to support all the children in need numbers on the locker because we have more problems when a child doesn't have any relative and has no place to go into the garage. on the outskirts of the indonesian capital ayesha has been living with her foster family for 6 months. her last memories of her mother are off, her hallucinating and struggling to breathe. now she hopes for

underpin the global vaccine rollout. but it is a reminder cause that this is essentially a business that needs to be kept to flow to the pharmaceutical companies all out to make a profit, whether it's a large profit or small small profit. and of course, that raises a whole raft of different ethical questions as well. but according to the latest contract between pfizer medina and the european union, they will be a price hike for the shots in the imminent future, according to figure seen. but like financial times, the new price for a funny short will be $23.00 up from 18. but then i will go up to $25.50, up to up from $22.00. 60 this of course the countries are very keen and anxious to stamp out the spread of the delta vary. it also comes with a time in which countries in the e u and beyond the e. u. a mulling the possibility of administering a 3rd dose,

a bruce job to improve efficacy so far. only israel has approved use of a 3rd dose, a booster job in the over the sixty's with other research is happening here in the u. k. in britain and other countries may well follow suit, and all of this, of course, means the potential windfall for both much and pfizer as well off to phase 3 trials. both of these vaccines have been proven to be more effective than their rivals than the astrazeneca job and the johnson and johnson job. so essentially, both of these companies have a captive audience in the european union. european commission, just to remind you, of course, was accused early on of not acting quickly enough when it came to the vaccine rollout. and what it's doing now is proving that it's willing to throw an awful lot of money buying a premium product that is proven to work across the board. according to a one figure who was close to negotiations, said he says that the company,

so capitalize on their market power and deployed the usual farm rhetoric. essentially, the vaccines work time to ramp up the price. the international olympic committee has spoken with an athlete who is trying to stay in japan after falling out with officials on the team, the bellagio sprinter, christina sherman, or sky, or was to compete in the women's 200 meters on monday. but instead she was seen at the airport in tokyo on sunday, asking japanese police to help her told her reuters john less that she was taken to the airport against her will. after making a public complaint about the people training on mister, i'm asking the international olympic committee for help. there's pressure against me and they're trying to get me out of the country without my permission. so i'm asking the i see to get involved in this overhead is better assist sports on a. darcy foundation says that christina is safe and that police officers are looking into

a case. she also explained why the action was taken ease that there were some of them going to wiggle up because christina showed indignation, but she was put in a really something that is absolutely not in her program. and because the leadership of the federation, let's say, screwed up, she spoke about this openly, that they should have at least given some warning to allow them to prepare an athlete not competing and her discipline in her distance can get injured. anything can happen. still ed. this is our home. why do we need to leave broken hearts at hong kong airport? his new law is called tens of thousands of people to leave the country and battle residential evictions expired. so could millions of americans be left out in the cold? ah

transferred to a military hospital. the 8 year old, who is also head of the parliament, large party and spent a week in hospital last month on the he contract cars at 19 now east 8 people have died in the fire as raging across turkey. firefighters have brought more than $100.00 flames. under control, but it's still battling several of them in the popular tourism areas of antalya. i'm moga said because you're new reports on this now from a stumble the one screen hells of mirth have turned into this hector's, a scorched land and smoke everywhere. as 5 fighting helicopters down the flames, the fires here are mostly contained now, but the damage they left behind is immense. it until as man i've got this trick, this farmer found a newborn baby goat. his name that miracle picked out of him. john, that i'm only worried about these animals. if i died,

it wouldn't matter what i was really just being evacuated. i couldn't leave. and i asked my parents if we die, he shall we die together with these animals. and they said yes. so we stayed. i wish those animals survived and i was dead instead, and i am innocent. volunteer. so i joined the firefighters working across the southern region like college student re hahn and natalie has access to the district . great us. all seniors in our village survive the fire except for my 82 year old grandfather. she got poisoned by the smoke. well trying to put out the fire. i don't want other seniors to die. torres said to be moved from some of the hotels in more or less popular district of boardroom as the fires spread down the hill towards the sea shore, the government suspects arson, but experts believe excessive heat and strong winds are likely to cause climate change is also crucial factor turkey,

so devastating floods in its northern black sea region earlier in july. who? who finished? oh yes, you mean the only issue for many years the mediterranean has never seen such dry weather as in the last 20 days. meteorologists have actually worn fires, unavoidable in the next 15 days, and may continue until september. the fire, which started in marbury has now sprach other locations. the government has been criticized for a shortage of fire fighting aircraft other by john iran. russia and ukraine have sent equipment and personnel, but turkeys. forrester minister warns the humidity level is going down in the coming days, which means more attention and measures are needed to put out the fires in turkey, southern greenhouse, and ease the pain of those who have lost everything. see now, because solo al jazeera sambal. now millions of americans who are behind on their

rental payments could be made harmless after a government decree that benz evictions expired at midnight on saturday. a democratic rule makers join protest in camping outside the us capital building in washington. corey bush is upset, but models can now throw their tenant balance if they wish. 2 of the colleagues in congress refused to vote on extending the moratorium. it was brought in last year to help slow the spread of cove at 19 by preventing over crowding in shelters. the night was it was necessary to continue this awareness because we need, we need are the powers that be to understand that we're not just want to let this go quietly. when the why have actual people that we are supposed to represent like, like actual whole people like human being actually are every, by this policy, this isn't so or the lack of voice. so we're out here

a more on this now from shadow counties following the story from washington. we knew this is going to happen for a month or a month ago. the supreme court said that the cdc had overstepped its authority when it instituted this this. this moratorium on evictions on we should be clear. it's a moratorium on evictions that wasn't rental forgiveness. so what that means is now millions of people have months and months and months of back rent to pay with interest. and so many of them, it was hard enough on that one paycheck to actually make one months read lead, learn 67 months rent. it was any on thursday. so the white house said what we call wait to see what congress has come up with as they solve this problem to which the congressional leadership said what we thought you were doing this. we went on doing this, we thought you were doing this and then we went through this terrible charade on friday night with a debit. crowds went through the motions of trying to pass something very quickly, but they didn't have the votes. and again, we should be very care,

it's all just republican democrat, but it's cuz i plenty of centrist democrats who either don't believe in the social safety net, all of very willing to take him a lot of money from lobbyists, from property lobbyist, real estate lobby, as developer lobbyists and there is a property boom on right now. they don't. well they want people to get evicted so they can sell property or redevelopment so they didn't get anywhere and then they just went off on holidays for august. now we tend to some controversial changes in hong kong. those changes the immigration law have now come into effect. critics say it gives the government sweeping powers to stop people from coming in or out. thousands have been leaving the territory before the law came into force as adrian brown. now reports from hong kong. that number seems to be growing. hong kong international airport is a quiet place these days. except here, the check in area for flights to 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 reading. she's a finance worker and has no job to go to like others who sacrifice careers often for the sake of their children. bolivia. so for many years we have our korean. we have family. yes. so it's been upset for the for the future of my child. and i think we need to do with the sad scenes and now being played out daily. as more people join a growing exodus from a 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 think the hong kong government speeds up the immigration plan for many hong kong. as for us, we did not plan to leave hong kong at the beginning, even after the protests in 2019 like many others, he says he's unlikely to return to hong kong as city that still regard itself as asia's finest 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 have gone to the u. k. have opted for a new life in

a country where koby 19 rates, a soaring and job prospect scares. yet that seems preferable to remaining here. adrian brown, al jazeera, hung home, now aid work as of intercepted, a boat, which was full of migrants off the coast of tunisia. the boats engine of failed and it was taking in water, took 6 hours to rescue nearly $400.00 people, some of them that already started jumping into the sea on board, remaining men from morocco, bangladesh, egypt, and syria. international organizations migration says more than a 1000 migrants have died in the mediterranean this year. now large cruise ships are banned from entering the center of venice. environmental hasn't been pushing for this band for years. as adam rainy reports from venice, it might not have much of an impact on the city. the picture postcard perfection. tourists are back in venice,

but they won't be arriving anytime soon on large cruise ships. it follows years of debate about banning mega cruise ships to protect venison lagoon ecosystem that that bait became much more heated with the arrival in june of a towering 90000 tons ship. the government finally announced the ban in july, after threats from unesco to place venice a world heritage site on its endangered list. the italy is promising to cover last wages for thousands of workers who rely on the cruise industry to keep them afloat. what a movie we hope the government comes up with a way for us to continue a subsidy might last a year or 2, but this decrease has ships won't pass through anymore. we need certainty for our future. now which cuts right through the heart of venice passing by, i think mark square this very artery to which the heat shifts will no longer be able to pack. but that doesn't mean they'll be completely blocked from the venetian

. look in the plan is to have large cruise ships enter the lagoon through a back channel and dock at the mainland industrial port of margarita. the problem is the port isn't ready to receive crews. passengers, like city council medical gasper, the net, they grew up along dennis's canals. he welcomes the band, but sees it as a distraction. because the visible part of the iceberg visible deeper is the big ships, about many other problems. and the big ships are not the only one. and what are the problems like that the city is dying in terms of being the living place where the tickets are living in side and not having to commute them to get the job which can not give it a chance to lead them to see where we are just that to me that may cultural as part of an organization that lobbied for the ban. she sees it as part of a larger push to focus on long term sustainability. all of that would be done not

to shift the focus away from accommodate the tourism to really fulfilling the needs of the local residents who defend also on the value of a very city of the lagoon and on the well being of the whole environment. here the venice rose as a commercial powerhouse centuries ago to the great benefit of its people, finding a balance that keeps coffers full and residents from fleeing will take more than banning cruise ships from its waters. adarine al jazeera venice ah quick look at help stories now and government forces in afghanistan are trying to prevent 3 key cities from falling to the taliban as they fight the group on multiple front violence has been intensifying the southern city of kandahar walk, it's rain down on the airport that and all flights has been cancelled. your group also launch.
