the cross. wow. so no matter what, i'll just bring you the news and current affairs that matter to you. i this is al jazeera ah hello, i'm about this and this is the news i live from doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes until bhaskar military commander order civilians to leave last cause god has the army plans to flush out taliban fighters. he sends reinforcements to turkey as devastating wildfires drive agents coastal times thousands of people. of course to escape abraham. you see pledges action and what he calls to radical sanctions,

imposed by the us is indorse as a new president about russian activists living in exile and ukraine is found. hanged in a pot. police are investigating a possible murder. i'm going to go over the best of the action from the tech care lympics, as jamaican run, a lane thompson, her complete print, double double was victory, and the women, few 100 meters ah, people have in order to get out of afghanistan, southern city of las car, got a security forces fight back against the taliban. government troops had to launch a big operation in the capital of home and province, at least 200000 people live there. the u. n. the says at least 40 people have been killed in the past 24 hours. and some of the heaviest fighting in the center of the city governments deployed elite special forces not it's carrying out,

airstrikes alongside the u. s. forces does have more than one day. oh pamela, have a message to the honorable people of laska and brothers and sisters. we will be fighting. please evacuate your families from all those houses were tele banner. even in the neighbourhood. it will be very hard fighting. we will not leave the taliban allies at any cost. i know it will be very hard for you and it was also a hard decision for me to. i don't want to hurt my people, but i'm fighting for my people the way i fight for the brothers and sisters of my homeland and for your future. please forgive us if you get to the place and please evacuate as soon as possible from all those areas where the taliban will come. but we will be targeting all of those areas. and diplomatic at a james base are joining us live now from couple of james, this kind of announcement from the african military is unusual, isn't it? yes, it is unusual to certainly that have been occasions in the past where they've asked people to leave their homes. but not in one of the biggest cities of afghanistan,

as you can see, the sun has now set here in afghanistan at the end of yet another intense day of fighting in the provincial capital of health. and in fact, local people we've spoken to local journalists say this has been a heavy day of fighting yet. and gunfire has been heard, almost non stop. it's clear that the african military have now decided that they have to try a different approach. the problem they've had is that the taliban had been right in the center of the city in buildings, in the center close to the governors compound, plus close to the police headquarters. and the only real way to get them out is either to go street to street house the house urban warfare that's very difficult and potential of civilian casualties. alternatively, what they've been doing in some parts of laska got, which is dropping bombs from aircraft african aircraft. and we believe the u. s. military have also been involved. so that now decided the best way to avoid

civilian casualties is the order people from their homes tell them to leave the homes, evacuate the city. but there is a cause, a danger in that as well. there's the danger that people are gonna leave that homes in an active frontline area and there's going to be fighting and they going to get caught up in that fighting. but also there's a mass displacement, likely if people comply with this and leave their hands, where are those people going to go? whereas the food for them, how would they, how is the afghans government going to support those people? so i think it's a very problematic situation. it's not clear at this stage when the african military is planning its operation to try and take back control of laska and nobody's been of this size is just increasing the pressure that we after military is already under big because of course there is fighting going on across all the parts of the country as well. that's fighting in other parts of the country has

been for many weeks. the taliban certainly in control of large ways of rural areas . and they have 4 weeks been at the edges of some of the provincial capitals. i think what's changed to the last few days is attacks in some of the major cities. so you have what's going on, the last guy, which is i think, an important place. helmand has seen some of the heaviest fighting over the last 20 years involving international forces. the u. s. and nato forces before they withdrew very recently. but also you're seeing fighting that's taking place in the 2nd city, canada, and parts of that city. also in the west, in herat, you've seen fighting, taking place in recent days that i think is the one place where the african government can point to that there's been some success. they say that they pushed the taliban back from the center of herat. but it's also was reporting taliban all still in urban areas in harass. and i've been posting videos of areas that they

control. james, thanks very much. that's james bass talking to us from kaboom. and mccarthy is an advocacy manager at norwegian refugee council. and she says the current fighting is making it even more difficult to deliver the assistance to those and need 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, we are seeing those record settings, civilian casualties and violence as well as the large scale civilian displacement. so we have seen more than 350000 afghans, newly displaced since by conflicts since the beginning of the year. so that make for massive humanitarian needs, in addition to kind of an existing, really precarious situation that people were experiencing even before this upsurge in 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. more than half of the population was already in need of humanitarian assistance before this latest surgeon conflict. and were expecting that more afghans with flea 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 see, facing emergency levels of food insecurity. so the status that they are already at before they're needing to plea 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, and really to be able to meet those immediate needs that people are experiencing afghanistan 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 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 weeks firefighters in turkey are walking around. the clock is wildfire continue to spread in coastal resort towns, winds and temperatures above 40 degrees celsius. finding 7 fires along the coast of the mediterranean, and the g and c, at least 8 people have died there in the past week,

holiday makers have had to leave their hotels and thousands have been evacuated from their homes, nestle south. i was following developments in turkey until you have problems. now we are in the, the village of cellar in tone of windows and untidy province. and it is also one of the worst hit districts in turkey. as of yesterday, this is dee how support because at different locations in this town, the fire fighters are fighting against the flames and the blazes. if this will edge . and this was, did the fire started yesterday at for a yeah, me after midnight. and since damn the help of the, when it had been turned into the ruins. so the soldiers are, keep in the take him to the villagers 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 burdening down the soldiers.

the security forces are blocking the route to the main town of the good, almost so far there being 156 different locations that reported the wildfires. the ford is fires and the ministry. ford is says that 147 of them are under the control, but as of now, 9 active zones are still suffering from the, from the, the fires. the record temperatures are also driving the fires in greece. the prime minister says the countries facing the worst heat wage in 3 decades, 5 crews of tackled more than 100 fires in one day in italy, the coastal cities of katana and scott. i have also been hit by wildfires. residents and tourists are being told to leave, but the fires continue to burn crusade. they faced hundreds of flare ups and populated areas in the past few days. as close lives. the autumn rainy, who's in the italian coastal time of or toner. i out of the speed in the intensity

of these 5. it seems to have caught everyone by surprise. what's going on? first of all, where you are exactly rob were here nor tona and this fire you may see some scorched trees behind me. it was only put out a couple hours ago. the fire chief for this region or tony said he hadn't seen anything like this in his career. this 3 months without any rain, very dry, very hot, very fast moving fires in this general area where we are several olive groves or scorch burn, others aren't clearly the fires were jumping across roads, burning some homes, not others. we spoke to some residents, some came home from the beach, were just about half a kilometer from the drastic see here. they came home. they were enjoying some time to sun on sunday, but the temperatures got so hot that new something's wrong. they saw smoke on the hills, they rushed to grab their garden hose and before the fire brigade got here, they said they fought off the fire for more than 12 hours into the night and had to dawn on monday. and there are hundreds of these fires that took place. the fire

brigade for boots are region told us in 24 hour period there were some 800 in the region across the whole country, more than 1200. in the last 48 hours the fires here in a brute. so in prescott, in order donna in the neighboring area are now under control. the fight is really pushed on into sicily and puleo south of here, where they've been struggling throughout the weekend. and now, well into the week, to control some fires, there's more than a half dozen of those still burning. the temperatures are over 40 degrees there where they've dropped here down the 30. so there's, there's still a fight on their hand. they're, they're in engaging with over flights of planes and helicopters to attack these fires. but so far, we're getting words is moments ago from the fire brigade, but they haven't fully brought those under control south of here. so that may go on for another 24 hours robber. more about and we were just here just talking a couple of minutes ago about the situation in greece. just briefly, just give us an overview of what's happening around the mediterranean and the gene area as far as the fires are concerned. well,

there really historic rob we heard from that report and turkey something not seen there before. greece with this 30 year record of heat wave. they have fires outside of athens on the island of rhodes, near turkey, that they just really struggling to get under control. but the heat just makes that harder and experts were speaking to say that something we're going to have to get used to. and meanwhile, the greek firefighters are struggling to bring those fires under the control. the record heat is really taxing the whole electrical grid, putting more risk of fire into the environment there, but also making it very hard for people to, to really just get through this critical moment. there you have authorities in greece telling people to ration their electricity while they're bringing back online. old cold, fired plants. so we have fighting fires, dealing with electro grid chaos, something this warming world. and we're seeing much more and the firefighters themselves, as i mentioned just a moment ago, they say they've never seen anything like this. and they're not necessarily

activists or environments themselves. they're just out here fighting this all summer. and they really have a big fight on their hands and i don't know what they're going to do at this. keeps happening throughout the rest of summer or in years to come. and i thought, i'm really bringing this up to date from or tona. adam, thanks, time or had in the news are including lebanon is still looking for answer is almost a year after the capital was rocked by a huge explosion. last coming home, the historic treasures that was stolen from iraq after the us invasion 9 the bronze for biles on the beams as the u. s. gymnastic storm returns to competition following from mental health. ah, iran new president is promising to lift oppressive us sanctions, but not at the expense of giving into foreign demands. it can you see has been officially endorsed by supreme leader company at a ceremony. in tech,

ron make conservative cleric takes power with iran and the grip of a severe economic crisis. 60 year old is also a place to revive the 2015 nuclear. do not have mann middle ball is that we are going to make sure the sections are 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 corona virus, and many other basic needs. so i appreciate what the 12 government has done, but we need a short term immediate program to resolve the issues we are facing today. got a hush and has more details from tucson. it's clear from several codes from, from easy 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. things for sure. are going to change in the foreign ministry . mama jobs are not going to be the foreign minister anymore. there are several names right now into ron speculations over a former deputy foreign minister and someone who was in the national security council. what do they want to do? we don't have clear or at least confirmations regarding the names in 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 well, it runs incoming president, people talking, what you see is facing some tough challenges,

covered 1900 being devastating with more than 91000 deaths. iran is the worst hit country in the middle east ice. he says he wants people to get vaccinated. he's also promised to get us sanction lifted. they had a crushing effect on the economy. they have affected oil sales, imports, and exports. and let's run having to spend beyond its means bias. he says he's going to continue talks on the 2015 nuclear deal from which the u. s. withdrew 3 years ago. there's been an international pressure after a deadly attack last week on a ship in the persian gulf, the u. s. and other countries say iran is to blame rights groups, say they're worried about a crackdown on protest in cuz it's don province which approved fatal over dwindling water supplies. and rice, he says one of his goals is to end government corruption. well home and monday is in the rain in american academic and political analyst. he's joining us now from to run by skype. it's good to have you with us on the 0. 1 of the impressions that we got here from the speech that the focus was not so much on the phone,

the element of it, it was more geared towards domestic issues. what do you think the key elements that the new president is going to be focusing on? i think there are 2 key issues. one is social justice, i believe he's going to be moving towards the last as they say, and the expanding the net or be disenfranchised. as well as trying to support the middle class, which has been particularly hit hard because of the sanctions. i also think he's going to pursue at the cross policy as he was, they had a bid today. sherry and he spent decades in the judiciary, so he knows how these things work. so he is in a good position to deal with that. so and the focus is on internal politics. but of course, i think with regards to foreign policy, there will get killed away from europe. and the united states best focus will be

put on the nuclear deal, especially because the united states, new european. so i don't seem to be willing to implement the deal in full. so iran from what we hear from mr. ac. iran will be looking for new partners in the region neighbors and the global south as well as east asia, especially china, russia and other major problems in order to be able to carry out such a wide ranging program of changes and adjustments on. but imagine that he's going to have to consult with an awful lot of people. do you think that he is going to be prepared to do that? or do you think you centrally, he's going to be taking his guidance from the man who gave him his job. but the supreme leader, how many? well, the leader didn't give him his job, he was elected. and he is a popular figure. the fact is that he is his thinking is similar to that of the leader with regards to social justice. both i think are

critical, the liberal economics and both have been critical of the row on the administration, waiting too much on the united states and the europeans, and the hope that they would change their policy towards iran. in that respect, i think that they are, they do think similarly, but he, over that ever since he's been elected, you've been meeting with academic experts, economic economy, economy. and he's still trying to bill is cabinet and that's why the cabinet has not been named. although we hear that within the next couple of days, we're going to be hearing the, the names of the cabinet ministers. you mentioned that the president day is going to be focused on the disenfranchised in the middle tasks that are clearly a lot of domestic issues that people are facing at the same time. this is a man that must be international, has accused of being responsible for crimes against humanity because of crackdowns

on protest as and of course he was involved in the the mass executions in 1988. is this really a man that iranians can be convinced? is going to look after their interests. well, i must say very clearly that i have a little respect for amnesty international. i survive to chemical attacks during the invasion of iraq. and those chemical weapons were provided by european countries and the united states, the weapons, the means to use them, the intelligence to use them. and the political means to get away with an amnesty international never did anything. and as we speak, those people who provided the dom saying with those weapons are in government, the europe in the united states. so amnesty should think seriously about human rights. the execution in the 1980s were,

were from them. we're driving a how harris organization that we're fighting for that dom hussein against their own country. imagine if those who are working for the nazis in the 2nd world war, those british and other europeans working for the nazis when they were arrested. what would they do to them? there was capital punishment back then they were executed. these people were fighting for saddam hussein. so they have, they are despised in the country and they are supported by western powers of amnesty. international is all serious. they should be calling out european countries that are currently supporting. it's called this terrorist organization that continues to kill iranians through cooperation with israeli, which mohammed but they were gonna leave it there. but thank you very much indeed for being with us and i'll just thank you. okay, we're bringing some breaking news. the pentagon in the u. s. is on locked on. we

believe after at least 2 gunshots are being fired outside. these are pictures from outside there. you can see the emergency services lined up outside the building. we don't have a great many details. a pentagon announcement said the facility is unlocked and due to quote police activity, one report suggest multiple gunshots have been fired near the platform. we are not able to establish exactly what has been going on. an associated press reporter is being quoted as saying that there has been multiple gunshots will bring me your more than the story. of course, as we get it. now, bella rush, an activist who was reported missing, has been found dead in ukraine's capital. kiev vitale, she saw lead a nonprofit organization based in here that helps about russians. thing persecution, it was reported missing by his partner after failing to return home from a run. police have launched a murder investigation bachelor's opposition, leaders for atlanta to kind of sky us says she's waiting for the results of the

investigation. but she believes she could be in danger of suffering the same fate. i understand that, you know, i can, i can disappear. you moment i understand that, but i should do. what time do i cancelled because i'm you know, i feel the risk to be with the whole future. my thoughts are the same as all those sense while fighting the woman feel the responsibility. i know that even if i disappear one day, this movement will continue without me. now do, simon says more from london. well, here in downing street settling to pick another guy, the opposition leader from bell ruth, who lives in exile and in the country next door. this way near has arrived here only. alas, off the news broke off this death of an activist italy. 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 better ruse for accommodation, for jobs, for support. he was known to the authorities and quite outspoken man. i have moved to ukraine a year ago and had joked about being followed and surveillance. and he pretty been stoic about the threats against him, but no suggestions that he was ever in the mood to take his life. almost

a year after an explosion rocked the lebanese capital families of victims are still demanding answers. the blast of the bay report killed more than 200 people and injured thousands and the 300000 were left homeless. as a result of the devastation, exposure was triggered by a large stockpile of improperly stowed ammonium nitrate. i am a job is in lebanon, and buck rain research at human rights watch. and she says, government officials tried to cover up their knowledge about the explosion. material weeks before the blast, 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 jamming. we found

that various ministries, including the ministry of public transports, which he provides of sports, as well as the ministry of finance, which provides of the customs, administration, and 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 grade in the ammonium nitrate meant 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 is the one year anniversary of the port exposure approaches correspondence in honda has been looking into how it could have happened . that program was search for answers on wednesday at $230.00 gmc ahead knowledge is 0. i'm rob reynolds 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 forwarding school. many now see that as an attempt at cultural genocide, we'll have that story coming on. one of the best and then pick performance if you will ever see will show you an incredible world record of the tokyo games with job

a it's been undisputed the hot year in iraq, some parts of 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 beat it's record 2. so that's 2 months in a row where we've done that, i think see a bit of an easing from the next day or so not by much, admittedly, and still hot in q 8 and eastern iraq, the breeze is trying to pick up and the breeze is critical, very often particular and the girl stays got, for example, the house temperature such before 3 and 47 by day. but humidity's, the thing that tells here when the wind drops and you get something off the wall,

most of the gulf as you will day on wednesday and again on friday, then it feels particularly sticky. otherwise things are as normal partners, high temperatures, few shares in the mountains, the southwest, saudi, and west in yemen is pretty dry. now it is true at iran, but a few shots around the southern caspian seem likely. high temperatures are also a problem, as you're well aware in the south eastern part of europe and in turkey. with antalya forecasts be at 40 when they are record highs, and the breeze is still dry and still blowing. the secret agent claimed by both israel and egypt. well, any case officer who receives potential or double edge will always assume the worst truth lies fact or fiction muscle. the documents are 40 people. if i did those under laps.
