program that open your eyes to turn it to you after. well today, this is what the picture looks like. see the world from a different perspective on our i this is al jazeera. ah. we're watching the news, our life from headquarters in del hi. i'm doing obligate. coming up in the next 60 minutes, a top on top, i've got military commander orders civilians to leave. last car, got the army plans to flush taliban fighters out of the city use and reinforcements to turkey. as devastating wildfires ravages coastal towns. 14000 stiffly,

the region, abraham ra se pledges action on what he calls to radical sanctions imposed by the u . s. as he's endorsed, as iran new president. i'm rob reynold, in mission, south dakota for nearly a century, tens of thousands of native american children were removed from their families and placed in us government funded boarding school. many now see that as an attempt at cultural genocide, we'll have that story coming off. i'm john ross. that was all the best action from the touch lympics as us stall, gymnast simone bio pinches bronze on the balance beam on our return for mental health break. ah welcome to the news. our off gun security forces are expected to launch a large scale operation to clear the southern city of last card, gone from taliban fighters. at least 200000 people living in the capital of helman,

province have been told to leave the city. the un says at least 40 people have been killed in the past 24 hours alone, in some of the heaviest fighting in the center of the city. the afghan government has deployed at least special forces and is carrying out air strikes alongside us forces. let's get an update. charlotte bellis is joining us from couples farther. what can you tell us about the planned operation and last car guy? well, this is just having this afternoon, general semi se dot who's in charge of the armies operations in home and put out a voice nor 2 people in chicago that we've listened to. he said in it, i need you to evacuate from your homes and keep in mind, we understand much, gar, as a city typically around 200000 people, i need you to evacuate. it will be very hard fighting. we will not leave the taliban alive at any cost. he said, i know it will be very hard and it was a hard decision for me to make also. but i don't want to hurt my people. he said,

please forgive us if you will be displaced. but you need to evacuate as soon as possible, so we can fight for future quite unprecedented for the army to take these type of steps. the telephone really pushed into lash cargo on saturday. the afghan government responded with feeling the special forces, the way it strikes from the afghans also from the americans. but they really haven't had much impact. it's been incredibly heavy fighting. but the tell about putting out videos today, looking quite calm in the streets, walking around, showing off walking down main street in the bizarre saying in these videos that they had government officials hold off and the police chiefs office the governors compound in an intelligence office. and that's the only places that they were that they were effectively undersea age. now the african army strategy, special forces, and these is strikes, do put civilians in harm's way because it means that they have to do fighting

street to street and with bombs from the very urban areas. so this might be why be saying we have to try something else because we're not making much of an impact. and we're putting people in harm's way. the us saying in the last 24 hours, 118 civilians have been injured. and 40 people have been killed. so this is disparate missions from the ask and military to try to get the telephone out. they desperately don't want to see one of the provincial capitals food to the telephone and charlotte with reports of the taliban gaining ground in other parts of the country as well. how much pressure or afghan forces in an incredible amount, a number of provincial capitals, around depression, the most significant ones, you could say the 2nd and 3rd biggest cities in afghanistan were talking about herat and the west and kansas city. there's been special horses there. this is strikes b a but the taliban kind of pushing at the perimeters of the city where we talked

to a journalist in her. earlier we said that the taliban got within 3 kilometers of the city center and then they were pushed out and then they come back in and then they pushed out. so it's, it's kind of pushing pool in the cities at the moment that a really tasting and the bring it, it's worth saying as well. that kind of ha, city is the closest big city to lash. and the 150000 people have already been displaced and fighting this month into canada. ha city. if you have another $200000.00 people, were at least tens of thousands of people leaving lesh car guy within the next 24 hours. a lot of them will have to can to ha city and it will be a lot of pressure on that city to accommodate a huge number of people who are now displaced. ok, let's talk more about the displacement. thank you so much, charlotte for the time being. ellen mccarthy is joining us. she's the advocacy manager, the norwegian refugee council. she's joining us of i a skype from cobble itself. thanks for speaking to us on 0. you heard our reporter there, the army commander, and last off is warning people to evacuate for their own safety. you're talking

about around 200000 people and last car, gar. where do they go? yeah, thanks so much for having me. i think what we have seen in recent weeks is this dramatic escalation in conflict across the country with more than 200 districts undergoing territorial changes over the past few months. and as your correspondent mentioned, we are seeing those records settings, civilian casualties and violence as well as the large scale civilian displacement. so we have seen more than 350000 afghans newly displace, since by conflicts since the beginning of the year. so that makes for massive humanitarian needs, in addition to kind of an existing, really precarious situation that people were experiencing even before the upsurge and conflict. we're also seeing, for example, a number of schools affected by the conflict and people fleeing their homes for in search of safety. as i mentioned, more than half of the population was already in need of humanitarian assistance

before this latest surgeon conflict. and were expecting that more afghans would flee and be in need of assistance in relation to the current fighting. so kind of compounding this situation. we are also seeing drought in the country and nearly one 3rd of afghan seeing, facing emergency levels of food and security. so the status that they are already at before they're needing to flee is, is extremely precarious. so we are operating kind of across the country in areas where id tease are fleeing to and in many places across the country as were able to access to be able to help meet those needs through things like shelter and water provision education. and i'm really to be able to meet those immediate needs that people are experience that must be quite challenging for organizations like yourself, those with the deteriorating security situation. so how are you managing to operate in these hard to reach areas and, and could the numbers and figures you're giving us be an under estimate?

yeah, thanks for that. denise. then even before the latest 3rd and conflict is one of the most dangerous places for humanitarian to operate and one of the most challenging for us to be able to reach those most in need. so i think within the context of ongoing fighting, one of the main concerns is that the safety and well being of our own staff and making sure that we are able to reach those people most in need. so with the context of ongoing fighting that makes it even more challenging to be able to work where people are and where they're displaced to. and i think yes, as you mentioned, the numbers that we're seeing in terms of civilian casualty in terms of displacement are largely estimates or reliant on the verification obviously. and because our access is limited across the country due to the ongoing fighting, it's extremely challenging to be able to understand what the full scale of needs are. and we kind of understand that they are escalating as we, as we go along the week. you have said that more than half of the population right

now, and i've got a son is in need of humanitarian assistance right across the country. just tell us a little bit about more about those needs and what the priorities are. yeah, definitely, over the past 18 months, especially with the onset of the coven, 1900 pandemic, and the escalation of conflict, the number of people in need across the country, has nearly doubled to about more to more than 18000000 across the country. and i think what we're really seeing is this compounding of factors in the perfect storm that's coming to ahead in afghanistan in terms of the conflict major drought, the hitting huge parts of the northern and western part of the country as well as the ongoing, socio economic effects of the 1900 pandemic that we're seeing. we're just coming off the 3rd wave of the pandemic here, and i'm going to sandwiches affected a huge number of people. but then also the effect that it had on the con, the economy of afghanistan has been just heartbreaking for many of the families who rely on daily labor and their daily wages just to put food on the table. so this

combined with the escalating conflict has really put people in dire need. they're taking on huge levels of debt are looking at other kind of negative. my coping mechanisms are looking at being displayed inside the country or fleeing across to neighboring countries. in peak of protection. so i think what we're seeing now is really a huge deterioration over a very short span of time and the impact that that's having on everyday atkins is just really worrying elena mccarthy from the norwegian refugee council. we thank you. we appreciate your time and joining us on al jazeera, well, firefighters and turkey are working round the clock as wildfires continue to spread in coastal resort towns. winds and temperature is about 40 degrees celsius. are fanning 7 fires along the mediterranean and a g and coasts. i think people have now died in the region just in the past week. holiday makers have been forced out of their hotels. thousands have been evacuated from their homes and take

a look at italy because the coastal cities there of catania pescadero have also been hit by the wildfires. residence and tourists have been evacuated to safety, but the fires continued to burn cru say they faced hundreds of flare ups and populated areas in the past. few days. we have, i am rainy, standing by for us and carr teeth. that's one of the worst effected areas in italy, but 1st russell stars are, will join us from turkeys and tell your problems to tell us what you're seeing, where you are russell well, the during that we are in the, the village of said are in tone of windows in your province, and it is also one of the, the worst hit districts in turkey. as of yesterday, this is the house support because at different locations in this town, the fire fighters are fighting against the flames and blazes this willis and is where the fire started yesterday at 4 a. yeah,

me off the midnight and since done the help of the when it had been turned into the reins. so the soldiers are, keep in the taking the winters out of the will. it's because it's quite risky, but the emotions are very high. people are suffering because they see that the houses that they had the tie of life in as just burning down the soldiers. the security forces are blocking the road through the main town of the domes. now you can see just behind me, another also was just started in the fight just started and it's quite difficult to predict was going to be the next place that the fire the blazes are going to hit just in the winter. there are around $150.00 houses and how half of them are either completely destroyed or partly damaged here. the 1st report of the wildfires during i just came on wednesday from on friday and soon after that had been several

reports. the similar reports, the about the was fire, the forest fires erupt in so far, that being 156 different locations that reported the wildfires. the ford of fires, and the minister ford is to say that $147.00 of them are under the control. but as of now, 9 active zones are still suffering from the, from the, or about them. the international force is ramping up. the it is putting in russia, ukraine. that'd be john and iran, then beer, chris and how to cook theirs. and also the emergency crews to how they took your colleagues here to bring the fire under the under the control the fire fighters are working tirelessly to put out the blaze as but the feeling hit. the low

humidity, strong wind, is hampering, they are a force and just in this will edge where we are stand being here with the 3 steel burdening it's quite tough to get the things on the control. just as of today, also the, your, the have came from the european union companies as well, like wish and supporting the spanish by those have just been briefed about the region to the knowledge of the geography when they are going to join the, the for to fight fires to fight fires and we have just been told that the spanish pilots also are actively now involved in this affords. ok, thank you so much for us to receive reporting from turkey. let's not bringing adam rainy once again out of your joining us from or turn on, and not from kathy apologies for that. so just tell us what you're seeing and how the situation is where you are. during in the last couple hours,

we've been out with fire brigades in this area and they've been putting out the last burning embers of several fires that scorched this earth around me. these are mainly olive grows. you can see behind me we met one family who returned after being evacuate from the area and that is their, their home that has been their home for 3 generations. and the young woman who showed us around doesn't know if many of the trees will survive some of those trees dating back to 100 years. it just shows you. although there haven't, hasn't been as much a loss of life in this region. we're seeing an immense loss of property and damage to the agriculture sector that yet to be accounted for. the fire captain we spoke with just moments ago, said that he feels comfortable that this region of a brute. so in the center of italy, things are pretty much under control. there's a few small fires still burning here and he really blamed the fires over the last 48 and 72 hours on historic weather. no rain and 3 to 4 months. he said,

and that's just out of the ordinary, and he has not seen that in his professional career. now south of here in calabria and puleo and insistently, they're still trying to put out several fires. temperature, they are over 40 degrees, whereas here, although it feels quite hot, it's only about 3031 degree. so you can imagine those firefighters still struggling with hot dry weather there. they really are going to have a big task to get those put out. but the fire brigade says they're making progress, they have planes and helicopters, attacking and tackling these fires, and they have teams spread across those regions. i mentioned in the south, but we'll know more the by nightfall here if the fire brigade has those under control or will be battling these into wednesday as well during well adam, the situation is of great concern across southern europe as well as known for sure as i mentioned those temperatures and sicily are being felt over the sea

in greece as well by island roads near the turkish coast, firefighters are struggling to get things under control. there we have the power grid, the power grid that is in grease be in maxed out. they're firing up old plants to make sure people have the electric needs they need, but the truth is, authorities to tell them to ration their electricity use and also firefighters are just struggling to get the blaze is under control there. so you have a big crisis there and what they say are the worse is worse heat way to hit grief and 3 decades. so we'll know in about 2448 hours if the fight will continue. but there's a big fight on the hand, both in greece, turkey, as we heard from that report earlier, and here on the ground in italy. thank you so much, adam, or any reporting from italy. plenty more had on the news hour, including a bell, russian activists to help the students leave. the country is killed in ukraine. will have more details on that story. just a moment, 11 on us. still looking for answers almost a year after the capitol was rocked by

a huge explosion. one of the best, the big performance are you ever seen? well, so you an incredible world record at the social game. stop stories coming up with jo in sports. ah. first, that has been officially endorsed as iran next president by the supreme leader on a common a at a ceremony. and to run the ac promised to take steps to lift what he described as tyrannical sanctions imposed by the us. the conservative cleric who won the election in june, also planned to revive the 2015 nuclear deal. mom at mann middle, that we are going to make sure the sanctions lifted, but we are not going to connect our economy to lifting the sanctions. there are a few issues that the government is facing right now. the budget deficits investment and the stock market and also controlling the inflation corrode of virus,

and many other basic needs. so i appreciate what the 12th government has done, but we need a short term immediate program to resolve the issues we are facing today. here at the house. i'm with more details from to ron. it's clear from several coats from, from e c, or even from the supreme either before the the ceremony. today, it's clear that the nuclear talks aren't a priority for them. they're looking more inside. the looking more for the regional talks may be regional security and then comes the nuclear talks. now as we know that from, from different sources, maybe about actually the head of the nuclear team is going to continue his, his task as a nuclear negotiator thinks for sure. are going to change in the foreign ministry, mama jobs or if it's not going to be the foreign minister anymore. there are several names right now into ron for speculations over

a former deputy foreign minister and someone who was in the national security council. what does it want to do? we don't have clear or at least confirmations regarding the names and some people are saying that this might be the government that's going to face the most difficult challenges since the government of hashem fin jenny, that came after the iran iraq war after 989 a bell or russian activist who was reported missing has been found dead in ukraine's capital key as vitale. she shall lead a kiev based nonprofit organization that helps belarus and fleeing persecution. the n g o has called his death a planned operation. he was reported missing by his partner failing to return from a run. the police have now launched a murder investigations anderson and will bring us up to speed with the story. andrews, joining us from london and to tell us whether downing street has waited well

here in downing street settling pekin of the opposition leader from bell. ruth, who lives in exile and in the country next door lithuania has arrived here. only. alas, off the news broke off this deaf of an activist, the tale she showed. no information was coming through and, and she heard before she met the u. k. prime minister barak johnson. the police were launching a murder investigation. they suspected that she shelf was hanged and it was dressed up to look like a suicide. now his supporters say that there appears to have been some bruising, and he could have been beaten up before being hanged. he was the leader of an organization in ukraine, which organized for activists coming out of bella luce, for accommodation,

for jobs, for support. he was known to the authorities and quite without spoken. man, i have moved to the ukraine a year ago and had joked about being followed and surveillance, and he really been stuck about the threats against him, but no suggestions that he was ever in the mood to take his life. so what does this mean? well, it coincides as i was talking earlier with, with you about taking off being here in dining street amongst the diplomatic. nice . it isn't her coal for action more action from the west. that was the reading in congress atmosphere because no one safe. that's what the message was given from her, and she referred to her own personal safety. i understand that, you know, i can, i can disappear. you moment,

i understand that. but i should do what i'm doing. i can't store because i'm you know, i feel risk will be with the whole future of my fans with the same as all those while fighting the woman feel the responsibility. i know that even if i disappear one day, this movement will continue without well, as far as the alexander shank goes, he is the last european dictator. that's what he's being termed as 27 years of of rule in better rows. it's clear that he intends to be arrogant, at least, and murderous as well. because this messaging that he appears to be putting across is deadly to any one concerned with the opposition movement. you saw from

tokyo, the situation with an athlete on the threat from now being put under the safety of the polish embassy. and furthermore, remind protests of which of the journalist who was taken from a plain which was diverted a false to landon bella ruth, which was regarded as an lam dish event by western diplomats. all of this has happened and it doesn't appear that the president of federal rule intends to do anything other than continue to rule by fear backed by moscow anderson and thank you so much of peter is only was the executive director of the erasure democracy initiative. and he says that if vitale shot death may have, may have been to send a message that indication that, that physical science of some sort of sold. so that might rule out suicide is not plausible. i knew him. and that does not seem credible to me. also what is kind

of cruelly ironic about as though he had a bill of russian housing ukraine. it was large of a military organization that help those who left the bellows saddle in ukraine. she was not the most visible so activist such, but i think his routine, his jogging routine was so well known to emma was watching. and if we assume that this was murder, that he was just in the target. and i think it's the malec. it's a signal that shows that if he's in his regime are guilty of this once again, sending to the rest of the exiles in ukraine and elsewhere to sit low miles shots. because this is what's gonna happen to you. this is an intimidating signal to the rest. families of the victims are still demanding answers almost a year after an explosion. rough the lebanese capital, the bloss at the bay report, killed more than $200.00 people and injured thousands. nearly 300000 were left homeless as a result of fact devastation. the explosion was triggered by

a large stock pile of improperly stored ammonium nitrate. the regional director of unicef in the middle east says many lebanese children have been left traumatized by the blast. for here, one year later and the children are still feeling the brunt of what happened a year ago with the baby blast, a 100000 children were directly affected. we did a recent survey, 20 percent of those families are still living in temporary accommodation. pass those children are still feeling the psychological impact of the glass. what we're hearing from the children themselves and the families is they still wake up with nightmares of sounds or an explosion or an event that will change their lives rather. so that sense of security that was there before is no longer there. that sense of normalcy, that was there before is no longer there. i am assuming lebanon and by her in

researcher human rights watch. she says, government officials tried to cover up their knowledge about the explosive material weeks before the last, every official has tried to muddy the water of what actually happened in the lead up to august for. so we decided to collect all of the documentation, hundreds of pages of documents, some of which has not been published before to really piece together what happened . and we supplemented those documents with interviews with he judicial government and security sources as well. and what we found was incredibly dining. we found that various ministries, including the ministry of public transports, which he provides of sports, as well as the ministry of finance, which supervisors, the customs administration in lebanon. not only had knowledge of the dangers posed by the ammonium nitrate, but miscommunicated those dangers and hit those dangers from the judiciary. we also

found that the lebanese armed forces brushed off responsibility for this ammonium nitrate even after they found out that the nitrogen grades in the ammonium nitrate man, that this was material used to make explosives, and therefore, should have been under the supervision of the lebanese army we found the president and the prime minister, both of whom were aware of the stockpile of ammonium nitrate aware of the dangers of the ammonium nitrate posed while before at least 2 or 3 weeks before the blast still failed to take any action. all of this evidence together, really pains an incredibly disturbing and very damning picture of the kind of mismanagement corruption and incompetence in lebanese state institutions that allowed something like the baby last one of the largest non nuclear explosions in the world to take place. and as the one year anniversary of the port explosion approaches, our correspondent dana hood has been looking into how it could have happened that

program beirut search for answers areas on wednesday at $2330.00 gmc it's got to check up. the weather here is rob. it's been undisputed the hot year in iraq, some parts raving peninsula and only yesterday in saudi arabia on the east coast in demand $50.00 degrees was reached. you might think that's not extreme, but it is for a coastal city. saudi arabia, the previous wreck, was 49 for august. now july beats record 2. so that's 2 months in a row where we've done that, i think to see a bit of an easing from the next day or so. not by much admittedly. and it's still hot in q 8 and eastern iraq, the breezes trying to pick up and the breeze is critical. very often particular the gulf states got for example though, house temperature such before 3 and 47 by day, but humidity. something that tells here when the wind drops and you get something off the wall more of the gulf as you will day on wednesday and again on friday than it feels particularly sticky. otherwise, things are as normal partners,

high temperatures, a few showers in the mountains. the south west saudi and weston yemen is pretty dry now as true as iran, but a few showers around the southern cast and seem likely. hi, tim. there also a problem, as you're well aware, in the se, in part of europe and in turkey with antalya forecast be at 40 when the record highs. and the breeze is still dry and still blowing. still ahead on the news, our millions of chinese are under locked down to battle, the spread of the delta, various of the current environment coming home, the historic treasures that were stolen from iraq after the us invasion said double double for jamaican sprinter, lane thompson. joe will have the best of the action from coming up ah, beneath the hype of english football lies analytic market for the.
