most were quickly brought under control. but local weather service is predicting higher temperatures in the coming days in areas already experiencing a heat way. but i'm at the, in us, if it was a nightmare last night, the situation was really bad. the area was inaccessible and with strong winds it was not easy for help to reach the area because of the disaster that happened here is tremendous for the fire. this area was an exceptional green lung of the earth. in italy, extreme weather brought floods to the north and fires to cities. across the south. dozens of people have been relocated from coastal towns and firefighters on the island of sicily battled dozens of wildfires. there all this is, temperatures continue to climb. in basra, the old dizzier can present itself. connie has told the parliament, the country is facing a state of aggression by taliban fighters. attacking several cities is also repeated that his government has been surprised by how fast us forces are

withdrawing. is very much of the current situation on the decision to remove the troops. connie says his government has a plan to bring things under control within 6 months. they hasn't got into detail 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. it controlled about 20 percent of of ghana, stan but as u. s. and other foreign troops have been withdrawing. taliban fighters are ramping up every tax. in the last 2 months, half the country has fallen under taliban rule. it's a critical test for the afghan government, as the fighters advance around the capital a couple. and the ball is 24 hours the on group is moved in from the outskirts to the hearts of cities of laska god and canada. han diplomatic editor james bay's reports from the capital capital. as fighting has intensified and moved into 3 of afghanistan's main cities. the president dash ref connie has again been addressing his people. he spoke to members of parliament. the 3rd speech gone is

made in a week. each time he's talked about the grave security situation, but there's been no fresh action announced no details of his plan to reverse the taliban advance where be need a moment. been it that we are aware of current problems and dangers, god willing. the security and defense forces will be getting stronger day by day in the coming 6 months. and we will reach an optimal situation again. so a 6 month time line to turn things around, but with absolutely no detail, things are moving very fast and they're not going the government's way. and some diplomats getting in patient with gun is approach. they believe he needs to rally his people around a new detailed military plan. now, as the taliban makes advances, their hand is strengthened in any future negotiations. it's expected talks in doha will resume in the next 2 weeks. the taliban former finance minister now living in

cobble is it's time for the president to accept the groups demands to release a further 7000 troops in exchange for a sea spot. but they're out of i do are much i'm i said is to stop all fighting and to bring and implement the cease fire. both sides of the conflict is the government and that the bar should take steps to build trust. it's clear the afghan government needs not just a plan to turn things around on the battlefield, but also to change the national mood. there's a perception, even among some government supporters that the taliban is now winning. james bays al jazeera, cobble. charl about us is being following the taliban push into how mind province from couple not really chunks. i was just you when you was. this is a square inside the city and we just captured, it says this tele bon fighter. the video was recorded unless cargo, the capital of home and problem the telephone pushed into less cargo

on today. people have reported seeing tele bonsai who's in the city center and entering people's poems, less chicago's main hospital emergency, food communications frequently being cut off with mobile phone videos offering a rare insight into what is happening in the city of 200000 people. the government has responded by deploying the most elite of its special forces. it's also conducting air strikes alongside us forces. this audio was leaked to the commanding general of the regional army cool, encouraging his men to keep fighting. all our friends, our colleagues should stay on the checkpoints, if any bad person tries to enter the city, we have commanded there and they will respond. there are strikes on going by the americans and by our opposed to don't worry but there is growing concerned about

civilian casualties from strikes now happening in urban areas. this hospital was hit on saturday. the taliban also published these videos of soldiers. it says surrendered unless car got in recent days. the shuttle out of more than 20 times. they asked the government to help us and resupply us. i know they can't help. so that's why i surrendered and came to the telephone. they kept saying on the radio, we will come and help you, but it never happened in the neighboring province of can to her fighting is also intense. the taliban has moved inside the limits of kandahar city again on 2nd largest and the on group form a strong holt set of we've seen an increase in the number of injured we have 30 to 40 engine people here at the fighting increases during the night. so we might get more patients later. the more than 150000 people have been displaced

in kandahar in the last 3 weeks. most flayed from rural areas to kandahar city. but no, even that is not safe. when the fighting started in our village, everyone was fleeing. though we also ran from our houses to here. we didn't bring anything with us. just close that we didn't save our things and just our lives. cities are not the only ones under pressure. in the past, most the time about taking control is much less dentist, meaning more provincial capital. effectively, undersea charlotte balance out there in the us and britain are among countries calling for an immediate cease fire across town. there embassies, a highlighting allegations made by afghans, tons, independent human rights commission, that the taliban massacred civilians in baton was spin, bolduc on the border with pakistan taliban fighters to control their on july, the 14th posting on twitter, the embassies said if the accusations approved, they may amount to war crimes. meanwhile, the united states,

he says it will take him 5 thousands more african refugees have been working with the us because of the increased threat from the taliban. expanded refugee program will include afghans linked to us funded projects, as well as non governmental and media organizations. as the taliban gains more ground, the refugees say they're getting more worried about their safety. over 200 african interpreters survived in the u. s. on friday or roslyn, jordan's following developments from the u. s. state department moment. imagine that this is possibly good news for many afghans. is it as good as they think it might be? well, it really comes down to whether or not the people who are covered by this expansion in the special refugee program that the u. s. is establishing for certain afghan citizens as whether they can actually take advantage of it. many of the people who are being covered by this either don't have enough time served,

working with the us military or with the u. s. government, as well as those who worked with us based in g o or us based media organizations. this is a question of these people living all over a country in which as we just heard from charlotte balance, the taliban is increasingly in control. and so they're going to have to figure out how to get out of afghanistan to a 3rd country, which is where they can engage with the us government on trying to gain that refugee status and ultimately be resettled here in the united states. it's not going to be an easy process. first, they have to get out. and then once they do get to another country and their application is in the system, officials here at the state department. so you could take about 12 to 14 months, on average for these applications to be processed as well. thanks very much. indeed, that was on jordan talking to us in the us state department. israel

supreme court has adjourned an appeal from for palestinian families against their forced expulsion from the shakes jetta a neighbourhood unoccupied to east jerusalem. it's the family's last legal chance to stop them being forced out of homes. they've lived in for decades. dozens of people checks that are under threat of eviction, but not all of them are part of this case. the neighborhood seen frequent crackdowns by israeli security forces against protesters without any exception. eugene drum historical side. lots of them that have houses in waste and buckeye and because of the unjust know which is called action p. no, he can claim these houses that are made his following developments for us from west

jerusalem, where she spoke to one of the lawyers representing the families from shakes at our when it's been a very long session. and several things happened during that session. the judge trying to find the promises between the 2 sides. so those, the families living in the rock i were facing for expulsion and the settlers. now the judge had put forward an idea that the palestinian family sign the paper that that land below the salary in which they have guaranteed rights in that house, quoted the 3 generations i have with me here. the lawyer, mister sab mean, he has been representing the family that he can tell us what has been happening in this session. it was indeed a very long session just was very long day. we were invited to come to live in thursday. we were here before 11 and now it's up to 5 o'clock. we

a finished decision. it was a long day. it was very thin, but i can conclude that for us it's a good fit for me because the court had our argument. the judges indicated that they will invite us for a 2nd hearing that did not reject our appeal, yet. this is a good indication. we hope that the judges will continue to listen to all arguments and took into consideration the new division we submitted. the end of the day conclude in favor of this object that evidence papers would, would show that though that lag was being transferred to the family judge, except that no evidence that we submitted to court include also just document. the judges did not accept anything. the judges decide that they would decide later,

but we have here our argument, and also they had looked at these documents. we hope that at the end of the day, they will consider the documents positively. i'd take them into consideration. protests have been held in the occupied westbank to mark 40 days since the death of prominent palestinian activists news out of bonnet. it i'd in june hours after being arrested and beaten by palestinian security officers. the palestinian authority says it carried out an internal investigation and concluded that by not died of neurological shock, which resulted in the failure of his heart and lungs as families rejected the investigation. and they say they're calling for justice. lebanon's prime minister designate says he's hoping for foster progress informing the new government nation mccarthy's comments. follow up meeting with president michelle own on monday, divide. the politicians have been unable to agree in a new government even during a spiraling economic crisis. former prime minister sides hardly abandoned his

efforts to form a new government last month. the bar head and the news are included. as the u. k. opens up to more fully vaccinated travelers. we talked to some young people who still don't want the job referendum in prosecuting mexico as former presidents failed. they're going to tell you why. so few people all the to vote on the athletes from puerto rico who went from heartbreak to gold medal winner. that story later for me and i bake of several 100 cases of the delta very and of course 19 in china is forcing millions of people into new locked hands. it start to have started in non ging for 9 airport cleaners. tested positive infections were traced back to a flight which arrived from russia, one and a half 1000000 people are now under locked on in the tourist city of zones. i z an

outbreak at a theatre there, so cases rise nationwide as tourists returned home. the government's cut transport links to it is with positive cases. it's also called and off residential compounds and put some people in quarantine and several new cases have emerged in will. hon recovered 1900 was 1st detected in late 2019. they were reported among migrant workers at a train station. the delta variant accounts for the large majority of new infections around the world. you can see this and some of the data being compiled by coal variance dot org entities as recording about 40000 cases a day and out of the ones tested by health officials. the delta variant made up but 93 percent. there's been an 11000 new infections a day in south africa. the delta variant accounted for about 80 percent of those in the u. k. nearly all corona virus cases show the delta variant and also reporting about 30000 infections a day. in the u. s. 1903 percent of tests being analyzed. a showing the delta

variance, the 70 average. there has been about 70000 cases a day, which are the you has more from beijing. well, this represents a huge challenge of the chinese government. this is the worst outbreak that the country has seen in months, and it's taking place during the peak travel period of the summer holidays. now the authorities have said that there have been more than 370 positive cases identified over the last 2 weeks. 7 of the cases are critical. now the prior z at the mormon seems to be preventing the outbreak of growing in the capital of aging. there been only 6 cases identified here so far, but sort of acted very quickly. thousands of people are already under locked down in 3 different neighborhood. authorities have also clamped down on any transport coming in from highly affected areas. so they've cancelled trains buses and flights coming in from those areas. and if people want to travel to aging from those areas,

they're going to have to do corvette tests and also quarantine for at least 2 weeks . now overall, most of these cases have been identified in the city of non j. now that's a southern city. it's quite a big city, close to shanghai, 9000000 people there. so they didn't find more than $200.00 cases. and they've conducted mass testing of these 9000000 residents. now all of this, this whole brick is linked to nothing's international airport with a group of cleaners such who have been the 1st who have been infected. they were cleaning a flight, which state media says came in from russia. and after that, we've seen this outbreak grow, but alarmingly, authorities have also identified another possible super spread cluster. and that's in the southern province of hu, not one of china's most popular tourist destinations. john georgia, which was the place for hollywood movie avatar was filmed now, 2000 people were attending a theater performance. and they have been several cases linked to that,

that performance. so traces are working very hard to identify and track all those people who attend attended that performance. data analyst, phyllis smith of action ologist and professor of emerging infectious diseases or the london school of hygiene and tropical medicine. she says, china will be racing to control the outbreak, while the case numbers are relatively small. china will, i think, put all the clamps again. china, very concerned about the reputation as well. china has learned from the experience. it was successful over the past, more than 12 months, and we'll do everything just this is a delta bay and is of of more concern because because it's bored, transmissible, it's more contagious. even short contact time can facilitate at the transmission of the spread. and we know that the higher the duration of shedding is higher. so it just, it just worries some of the variance. so i think china will,

will continue to use all the tools that they use in the past. but in addition, they have 2 new tools and 11 obviously is and they do a lot of math testing which will help us early on in the, in the upgrade because we just did not have enough tests today doing real math testing on millions of people it's incredible achievement, really. but 2nd, of course we now do have the most effective tool and hands, and that is an just faxing. so trying to handle it out to back seeing. but i think more than 1600000000 people have been vaccinated. so we would expect that we will see more mild disease and less severe disease, but not everyone fascinated so we will still see that and hopeless station. i think the 24th is realize that the current outbreak really does pose a threat to the country. and that is because it is more fire everywhere,

i think more than 50 problems that are now affected. also the overall number i think is about 300 pill against what we see in europe or the us. if the laurie here is it, this is gathered around the country and it makes it much harder to control passengers in the us and you have begun to arrive in the u. k. after the government relaxed rules for fully vaccinated people from their most arriving in the u. k. are no longer required to quarantine, even though scientists warning against it. it comes as the w h o says 60000000 people have not had corona virus across europe. the u. k government also backing moves in hopes will help overcome hesitancy among young people about getting the cova in 1900 vaccine. but there's growing disquiet about another of its plans. domestic vaccine, passports, which critic se amounts to coercing the young john hall reports fit healthy and unwilling to be vaccinated. that describes

a minority of young britons keen to get on with normal life after the lifting of most lockdown restrictions. lo, thank k. i think it would be no, thank you. i think that, you know, we shouldn't be forced to have something or take some think when, you know, if i've had people like tara knowles, so i haven't a vaccine and put in these extra things in my body that they're currently not even sure of where kinda the guinea pigs right now. the problem is the current infection rates are highest among young people with medics warning that hospital patients are getting younger and younger. they describe it as heartbreaking to watch, the unvaccinated suffer unnecessarily. the other thing that people should take into account is that if they are not vaccinated, then they're more likely to spread it to other people, perhaps vulnerable relatives that they come in contact with. but also, i think the responsibility to society not to be spreading this around because it will encourage the emergence of variance,

which are able to escape from the vaccine. and that will simply put everybody back into lockdown again. nobody wants to do that. official figures suggest up to 10 percent of under thirty's, are reluctant or simply refused to be vaccinated. with almost 3000000 young adults, yet to receive a 1st dose that led to a dramatic slow down in the overall vaccine rollout, leaving a potentially dangerous back door open to the virus. and the possibility of new variance. the government has back measures to encourage vaccination, including discounts on food deliveries and taxi rides. and this free vaccine music festival in london. there are more controversial plans to incentivize the job by introducing the vaccine passports to access night clubs, which human rights group say is the wrong approach. collection does not make a safe. it's actually been proven that countries have mandatory vaccine policies or coerced vaccine policies. have

a much lower trust in vaccines. what we're talking about is totally restructuring society and craziness. it's of checkpoints, massive violation of privacy locking, some people out of society for a very, very small number of people. this is really the way we want to go about public health in this country. i don't think so. big brother, watch says, refusing the vaccine is a basic right. which sets the wider goal of full vaccine coverage. again, with the interests of those who believe they are better off without it. joan a whole al jazeera man, the the world health organization is urging countries to prioritize vaccinating refugees. less than 8 percent of the $2000000000.00 doses promised under the un kovak scheme have been delivered globally. refugees are some of the worst impacted by the shortages. there go to the read. the situation is the disease spreading. we should also get the vaccine. if we get infected, so will everyone it doesn't. even the locus vaccination is

a must for everyone. we are scared, you can see here that we all live together. we cannot follow social sensing or we're moscow in wymond. and they live in is often very, you know, condense, housing situation. it's not necessarily the most areas where most access to, to health care and services like that is basically in health conditions are not there. the water supply and sanitation city is not always up to date. in that sense, so they are really living in difficult situations. most of the time. so i had a knowledge about the rational medic sprinter time to seek asylum in poland feeding . she won't be safe at home. and it's not always grace from another pick diving just as this canadian back later to sport. ah.
