near delay the tokyo olympics. finally, despite growing opposition and spiraling costs, fountains of athletes are competing in empty stadiums. amid the corona virus endemic algae here it will be inside the olympic bubbles, bringing you the latest from again, like no other. i me the us getting president announces taliban aggression that reveals little about his response as scientists advance and large city. ah, hello. so rahman, you're watching all 0 life my headquarters here in the hall coming up in the next 30 minutes. reco, temperatures and strong winds keep more than 100 wildfires burning across southern turkey. i am graceful, fair. then we'll kind of in tone of my mind. i've got one of the worst hit the

district by wildfires in turkey. also, elliptic, organize a se, bella russian athlete is safe and secure in token after refusing to be full stone to a flight home and mexicans vote and the referendum on whether to investigate foreman leaders. ah, welcome to the program i've gotten present shift. connie has told parliament the country is facing a state of aggression by taliban forces which are attacking several cities. he also repeated how his government has been surprised by how quickly us forces a withdrawing and how he'd warned washington. this would have consequences. in the past 24 hours, the group has moved in from the outskirts to the major heart of cities such as last quarter gar, and come to hong. the situation in la chicago is particularly fragile with the

group moving in closer to major government buildings that were also been asked strikes and fighting and harass, and in none to ha, in the east. let's go over to our senior diplomatic editor james bases in cobble force. before we talk about what the president has to say, just bring us up to speed on the situation on the ground both overnight into the morning. but it's a very busy picture, and i think we should start in helmand province. remember the, a lot of the battles for the international forces by british troops who are based by the us war and help and province remember that the u. k. last 450 soldiers in afghanistan, most of them in helmand. well, since the international forces have withdrawn, the situation in helmand is very much going in the direction of that and in favor of the taliban. because the telephone controlled many districts in helman province . and right now the focus is on the provincial capital laska golf. we only get sporadic news from last guy. that's because the phones are operating the very well

. the communications are cut for much of the time. but at the last couple of hours, we've spoken again to the local journalists who very bravely supplies with information. and they say that the situation has for the african government got worse and recent hours they say tell about fighters now, right. close to the governors compound, the police chiefs headquarters in laska got to talk about all right. in the heart of the city there in buildings and houses in the heart of the city, which means that the african forces are going to have to have urban warfare. they're the most dangerous type of combat to try and remove them. we understand that they're all gotten special forces in last good guy, but certainly the local journalists have not seen them operating in the heart of the city. we understand to that been as strikes in alaska got in parts of the city carried out by the i've got air force also reports that they've been carried out by

the u. s. force as well. moving to the neighboring province of kandahar, the 2nd city of afghanistan and the province around it. still some class she's in the city, the airport that still for the moment closed, although the african government say that don't repair to the runway and should be reopening soon. cautious to outside canada city in the province spin bolduc. 2 is the border crossing between i've got a son and pakistan been in the hands of taliban for some time. now there are fresh caches and as strikes we understand that to. ready the province in the west of i've got a song perhaps a little bit quieter than now that it has been so still some classes reported in our city. and we're also told that they've been fresh fighting elsewhere in iraq. problems around should've done air base, which was one of the main bases for the us and nato forces in afghanistan before they pulled out of the country. and finally to the east of afghanistan,

9 province in the east action district, there has been a taliban attack. so the east is also seeing fresh violence, the taliban saying they killed 10 soldiers and police. but as the, as is often the case, the government a very different story, say they've killed 14 taliban and that it is to security for the members that have been killed in that attack a lot to consider and ponder on for the president. james. obviously he was speaking to parliament and he would have had to react to the situation on the ground. well, certainly he said that the situation is an unprecedented period of turmoil. this is the 3rd speech that we've had from our ref ghani in a week. that's been covered live on national national tv by tv networks. he says a state of aggression has been imposed upon us. and he also added about the taliban . people said how about his changed? i agree, but not the good way. they have become more cruel. he says we have chosen off the

tell about me to choose that as so lots of comments by the i've got a president. but where is the plan of action was the detail of the plan of action. and i've been told by senior members of the international community that it is time for i should have gone to unveil a plan, a detailed plan, and also to communicate it to the afghan people. because this is not all about what happens on the ground. it's also about perceptions and the african people. many, i've spoken to a very fearful about the continuing violence and the possibility even in campbell, that the violence could be coming to them. the president simply saying that with a 6 month security plan, things will get better. but of course, 6 month is a pretty long horizon and things that moving very fast indeed, change days on diplomatic into the forest in cobble. thank you. the flush flooding and landslides in eastern afghanistan have also killed

a 100 people rescue workers in noticed on province digging through daybreak in search for those missing people. the provinces under taliban control, which the government says makes it difficult for it to provide assistance, food, and shelter for any survivors. israel supreme court is due to here and appeal from for palestinian families against their forced expulsion from the shape, jot a neighbourhood in occupied east jerusalem for the families. this is their last legal trans to prevent their 4th displacement. after living, living there for decades, dozens of other palestinians, the neighborhood also and a threat of full st. expulsion. think wafers railey satler's. shakespeare has been the scene of frequent crackdowns by israeli security forces against protest as of how the abil hermes is lying for us in west jerusalem and how to really 10 stay for old stakeholders. the yes absolutely. we're here in front of the supreme court. the hearing should be starting any,

any moment now, but you can see behind me the families of those who are facing these force eviction. there's also the protesters outside of the major here in support of those families. now it is a key they for these are just iraq, families that are going to put forward some documents to the court that petitioning the case that they have the right just in those homes that they had been living there since more than 5 decades. now, joining me to me, i wish how they use a member message and he will explain all of this a bit more in detail. just let me thank you very much for joining me here. that what do we expect to happen at the supreme court today? we have a few scenarios now where there's a lot of things that can happen for the follow up expecting a clear decision today regarding the issue of jobs because of the new document

that you have mentioned. and because of what the lawyers today are applying for is that to see the high court is going to deal with the case or they're going to bring it back to the sit up there, or they want bring it back to another court. so 1st of all, we should do the decision if the i would like to deal, want to deal with the issue of rock. so we are not sure that you are going to have a clear cut incision regarding the issues of ships out today. and now these documents that the families are putting forward could just change a lot for them in the sense that some of these documents do show that that land where they live now was in the final stages of being transferred to them under jane it under the jordanians, so before 67, how much can that way in? well, the lawyers have done a good work here because we have 2 sources of documents. jessica,

shut them and document. so the work them the 30 chart, got them. we have also the genuine state. one of them are important jordanians, if you have the papers that you mention proves that these people are taking the land and. a the house from the government and doing it with an agreement. the other very important. they both come from them and are not through that. you know that property in this area at all. they claim that and if the settlers claim that they have documents proving jewish properties since $875.00, now the check the archives and back us prove differently. but so the supreme court in israel did not decide till now if they want to deal with these papers or not. ok, so now days also change. we also make this little change maybe to be slowed down. do you think that the

bennet government is over to, to get families from their home? we have a new government in this route, but you have to and then you'll government. i don't know if you want to continue according to that then national to go. not really gonna think that out loud. this is an up you buying not to do any demographic changes in the up . you buy them up, you're buying force and it's 07. so the issue is not the legal issue that the issue is happening and you don't sell them political decision. unfortunately, the new israeli government is led by the head of the report. it was the prime minister that they've been to one of the most remnants for good in developing up

the month of july to grow and not expecting any change in policy. so it's a new government policy. thank you very much. thank you. now what happens today is also going to really affect many other families in children that are facing exactly the same fate of force expulsion. we don't know yet what kind of reasoning the supreme court will have, but certainly key dates for those families will come back to you. hold on when we get more work out of the court proceedings. thank you. not the state people have died. wildfires that have burned across southern turkey crusade, most of more than 100 fires are under control, but hot weather is signing them near villages and coastal resort towns. many villages surrounding area have now been evacuated. well, was still so there is a man i got in an italian province and obviously the scene where you are doesn't

a towering $90000.00 ton ship. the government finally announced the ban in july, after threats from unesco to place venice a world heritage site on 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 about it, 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 future business issue decades now . which cuts right through the heart of the vin, if passing by saint mark square this very artery to which the huge ships will no longer be able to pack. but that doesn't mean they'll be completely block from the venetian lagoon. the plan is to have large cruise ships into 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
