and so many others, we go to them, you make the effort, we care there are some of the media stories, a critical look at the global news media outside of us on our era government shut off access to social media. ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello, i'm about to send and this is the news our live from coming up in the next 60 minutes attack and the heart of couple followed by a 2nd explosion as far as between government forces and the taliban extends to several cities, a top military commander, orders civilians to leave last con job. i say army plans to flush out taliban

fighters. a huge fires threatening homes on the outskirts of the grief capital. we're going to go live for the latest accusations from our rights group that the death of about russian activists in ukraine was a planned operation. and coming home, the historic treasures that was stolen from iraq after the us invasion. i'm given ash with a back to the action from the take care of them off the victory in the 100 meters there, the games, jamaican friends lane problems inherent when go in the 200 as well. look on the 1st woman to retain the sprint double. ah, we're going to get enough gun is done where there's been a 2nd large explosion in the capital couple. the 1st last happened near the defense ministers house and couple at home when it happened. and there's been gunfire

following the explosion, and some people came out onto the streets to condemn the attack. a charlotte balance is life for us now in cub. oh, that's 2 explosions in a very short space of time. what else has been happening, charlotte? well the ministry, even terry spokes then just confirm with us that to a tech has have been killed and that special forces remain on the scene. i don't know if you can hear me now, but the heavy gun fire is continuing every few minutes. this started at 8 p. m, and my colleagues actually on their way to a dinner at the time when an explosion went off about 300 meters in front of them. there was a short way the, the com moved there was sparks in the air and also a large plume of smoke and they were near the defense ministers house. now, shortly after that, the defense minister came out, his name is general. hon. and he said in a tweet, don't worry, everything is fine trying to reassure people. but since then, as you say,

there's been this been, he begun fire, there's been explosions, special forces, according to off the area, and many people has been evacuated. now to tell you a little bit about the general but smaller hon. he's only recently been appointed as defense ministry, but he's very well known in us going to stop, he's respected for his experience on the battlefield. he fought 140 years ago against the soviets, and then later on the child was sued against the telephone. all of this, of course, happening against a bad job of increasing violence. and it's gonna stand, particularly as the african military, i believe, is, is ramping up towards an operation in last, ca, god, the capital of how much just talk us through. what's happening there. yeah, the general of the army and home and his name semi said that he sent a voice not actually 2 residence today saying i need you to evacuation. and from our understanding there is could be up to 200000 people in lush car guy. he said,

i need everybody out so that we can do a large scale clearing operation. now. lush, con god, the fighting has not been worse. it really had a peak today. started on saturday when the taliban tried to push in to the city. the government responded with official forces with it strikes the us up with the strikes, but they really weren't making much progress. and they were putting civilians in harm's way with the strikes and this kind of street to street fighting. so now the general has asked everybody to leave, but of course not that safe to leave because he's pushing them into an active conflicts loan and also displacing tens of thousands of people. his report on the chicago lash calgon, the capital of home and province. and in the cross hairs of the tele bomb, after fighting government forces the weeks on its outskirts, the armed group could be on the brink of taking its 1st city. since the u. s. began its military draw down the telephone, publish videos of themselves in the center of flesh, cargo,

and at the main market asserting they had control of most of the city of who the enemy is stuck in some places of the city, like their intelligence, offices, police, and governors compound by our tele bond, or at every corner of the city. now the afghan military is trying a new strategy. after 4 days of fighting with its most elite special forces and pounding the city with air strikes, it is asking all people to evacuate the city to learn some of my just summer. i'm leaving here all the people have left. there is bombing from the air and the tell banner on the ground. the army commanded for home and made the request in a voice lowers. it was quickly spread among those still in lush cargo. the no arms misconduct, it will be very hard fighting. we will not leave the taliban life at any cause. i know it will very hard for you and it was very hard decision for me to. i don't want to hurt my people. please forgive us if you will get this place and please evacuate as soon as possible. analysts and cargo say the strategy is flawed,

telling the population to go and not giving them an exact timeframe, and then bumping the hell out of the place and, and leaving the place as, as a, as a terrible battle ground in the same way that we saw pictures of capital back in the 1990 s. it's tens of thousands of people unless car guy he generals warning many will have 3 hours to kandahar city, close the city and still held by the government. $150000.00 people have already been displaced there after fighting last month. but it too is contested by the telephone. so many people fleeing the villages confined to place to sleep. not even in the situation is so bad. we want both the taliban and the government to stop fighting for gothic stopped the fighting. in the western city herat, the situation is equally fluid. special forces arrived to boast of the military and

allied fighters after the taliban cut off the cities airport last week. even then for a brief period, the taliban got within 3 kilometers of the city center. does not know the enemy is close to the city and we are very serious and defending the city. we hope we will push them back. it's, i want to sponsibility and we need to step on the telephone pressure on provincial capital just growing every day. the moved to evacuate. last got some personal reasons. questions about the south and maybe the best, the best shot 0 at least for ships have reported. they've lost control of their steering in the gulf of amman that are few details and the cause of the incident is unclear of fujita the time because the queen in massa, the golden brilliant jag, pulcher, and a beast, the abyss reported that they were not under command according to marine traffic dot com not typically means

a vessel has lost power and can no longer steer. ok, let's cross over now to check on where are the hash them is live for it's alley. this is just coming a few days after that was a drone attack on an oil trying to link to an is really 1000000000 air and the west was blaming yvonne for that attack. a run was denying that. what does it run saying about this latest incident? i'm afraid we seem to have problems with the feed from ali there, but we will try to get him back later on. but in the meantime, lauren's brandon is a professor of admiralty and international maritime law at fordham law school. he says that is enough reason for concern. something has happened and it is not a coincidence. it would be interesting to know if these ships are laden or not. if they had been at anchor, how long they had been there. and if they had had visitors. but the fact that not under command lights are showing up, or, or de signals, jill dar indicates that something serious has happened. i assume the ships are not

tied to appear, and they're not anchor in that they constitute a risk or hazard to other vessels. and we can speculate all we want as to what could have happened. whether there were people who came on board and took over the ship, or that their mechanical problems simply the rotors are not functioning correctly. the engine may not be able to turn so that the ship and maneuver its center. we have none of those details. so speculation is rampant, was the fact that there are 4 at the same place, considering the recent history in this or in recent i'm, i probably really mean years, not days, weeks or months that there, there's concert. ok, let's go back now to her. i 90 hash him a life saver, see if it's not the technical problem. so to the alley, i don't know if you're able to hear me, but i was just making the point that this was only a few days since the iran was being blamed by the west for an attack on an oil tanker that was owned by an israeli billionaire,

how was iran reacting to this latest incident from the to the iranian foreign ministry is denied next to this. and so then and he said this is another suspicious incident taken place and the ball well. busy for now, this is, this is not the 1st one, the 2nd, the many events similar to the 77 i'm trying to shift. that's what i talk in the regency and there were no claims except for games of responsibility for the one for some group. the context of the joint water surgery between

actual and sent to be been launched on in the interest. so the getting an official position them on the. busy denying any connection it's all right in the. busy field and obviously the school has already been accused is what's giving this situation that's been on for the last 2 years since 2000. and mainly since may 2019, several years as we shut down the only situation that iran had gained responsibility for making sure that the mission was when it sees the better the british tanker goes to the streets on. so mom and it said that

was in return to the season. i know that you bring your ship on june. thought, said connie, how should life for us inter on our thanks very much. indeed. tony motor head on the news, including lebanon, is still looking for answers almost a year off. the capital is robbed by a huge explosion and the bronze for simone biles. and the been as the u. s. gymnastic star returns to competition following mental health. ah, your reco temperatures are driving large fires in the outskirts of the greek capital. these are pictures from near athens for the large fathers threatening homes. the prime minister says the country is facing the worst heat wave in 3 decades. far crews have tackled more than 100 fires in one day, saying by stop is joining us now from the greek capital or the least just north of

there. jane, as i understand it, things are moving quickly all the time. what is the latest you can tell us about this? the that's correct. well, the suns down no over at the and any aerial activity of trying to drop water from helicopters or planes on the fires over now. but if you just look behind me, the flames of re ignited again, where the fire had been put out. now, just moments before you came to me, there wasn't anything there. the flames had been put out by rescue activity and firefighting activity that's been going on pretty much since this afternoon, so far as broke out, the fire reignite. shortly afterwards, put out the fire continues to move back and forth along here the base of this mountain where we are right now is at the base of the part neetha mountain. we are heavily wooded forest heavily wooded area and the forest fires are continuing

their continuing somewhat unabated. we are being told by witnesses unofficial, that they still consider this fire out of control. and what's happening here now is that with the area activity over, number, water tankers move in or fire fighting themes, move in to begin ground activity. there is no end in sight to the operation even though the sun has gone down. they have to keep fighting the place in that neighborhood. we've spoken to volunteers who come in out of the fire zone, and they think that they've helped the rescue several people. but there is a concern that several people remain in that area in their homes out there voluntarily, but many others remain possibly by the fire. one witness we spoke to said he had just made it out. you said he was lucky to make it out, that they were surrounded by the fire in the coming to leave the area. another witness told us that there may still be people in the fire zone and under threat,

and we have ambulances rushing. presumably, people in need of medical assistance out of the area quickly. we've also seen residents here fighting to save their own property by doubting their homes, the water, doubting the trees surrounding their property with as much water to make it as damp as possible. and hope that the fire will spare their homes. but the fact that what we're looking at behind the continuing flames, what they are burning, they are not just through the 4th areas. those are people's homes. those are people shop and businesses. and that's what the fire is destroying here today, and the official be spoken to say that they were hoping to get this under control before the sun went down. but that has happened. and the fire rescue teams that we're seeing here are expecting to be here throughout the night. as in the saturday, talking to from just north of the greek capital athens in thank you very much. while in italy, the coastal cities of kasanya, as the scatter have also been hit by wildfires,

rather than some tourists have been told to leave, but the fires continue to burn crusade. they faced hundreds of fire ups and populated areas in the past few days. i'm rainy has been following how the devastating fires of affected italy from the coastal time of the toner. we're here nor tona and this fire you may see some scorched trees behind me 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 a drastic see here. they came home. they were joined some time to sun on sunday, but the temperature got so hot the 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 the dawn on monday. and there are hundreds of these fires that took place of the fire brigade for a brute to regent, told us in 24 hour period, there was some $800.00 in the region across the whole country. more than 1200. in the last 48 hours. and firefighters and turkey are working around the clock as was five's continued to spread in coastal resort towns, wings and temperatures about 40 degrees celsius finding 75 along the coast of the mediterranean, and the g and c. at least 8 people have died there in the past week. holiday makers that have to leave the hotels and thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes. a bell russian activist has been found dead in ukraine's capital italy sheesh cove letter kit based non profit organization that helps spell that russians who being free persecution, the n g o has called his death a planned operation. and 2 summons reports. italy she showed life ended here,

his body hanging from a tree. he set off for a run near his home in kiev, but didn't return. police believe it could be murder disguised as suicide. there may have been a struggle in this office that says there were marks on his face, left knee, head and chest chauffeur dedicated to political opposition to autocratic rule in his home country of better cuz he was working with an organization helping to get housing, food, and work for people fleeing persecution there. he knew he was under surveillance so that his friends were card board, lamb. this was an execution vile, nasty execution of a person who deserves more than any of those people who served the regime of alexander lucas shank. sending to the rest of the exiles in ukraine and elsewhere to sit low, keep their mouths shot. because this is what's gonna happen to you. lucas shanker, dubbed by his enemies, the last of europe's dictators,

has ruled 27 years. but since a disputed election a year ago, he's been cracking down on a physician support in may a protest lead a roman protest, a which was detained after a passenger plane, heading to vilnius in this way, nia was forced to land the capital of beller, whose security agents had effectively hijacked the plane, the leader of the opposition's fet, lana, taken off. gaia has been on a world tour trying to read night. the western outrage that follow that arrest the u. k. prime minister barak johnson said he was the 1st to impose sanctions and vowed moral support for the opposition. diplomatic niceties. aside though, the opposition leaders said none of the people was safe, least of all her. i can disappear any moment, i understand that. but i should do what i'm doing. i can hold because i'm you know, i feel this responsibility for future my phones with the same as all those the

sense while fighting the moment feel the responsibility said longer taking those sco walls in washington before arriving here in downing street messaging in both capital with the same that more action was needed, but there was no concrete response either by the president of the united states, or indeed the u. k. prime minister. at as far as the president of better ruses confirmed, it appears from events in ukraine, said he seems intent on continuing his deadly messaging. if security agents from bella, ruth did kill 26 year old vit allies, she show off. it is indeed a dark warning to opposition activists. andrew simmons al jazeera london. it's been nearly one years since a deadly explosion rocked the lebanese capital killing more than 200 people and injuring thousands, nearly 300000 lebanese were left homeless as a result of the devastation. families of the victims are still demanding answers.

in a hot reports from beirut, the gutted silos at bay roots port still stand as a symbol of a tragedy. i feel what i know the building behind us collapse and fall, people were killed. i was strong to the ground unconscious. we will never forget that explosion. it began with a fire at warehouse 12. it's believe to have blown up. the ammonium nitrate that was unsafely, stored with flavors will material the neighborhoods were destroyed. more than 200 people were killed on august 4, 2020. we saw her thinkers there, her running shoes. we didn't expect or imagined that he will be. at the point, we will will saw her that her sister, jessica worked at one of the roots hospitals. many were badly damaged in the

explosion. all the hospital came around to the patient and had to move them to the secured area which turned into a battlefield. we had a few minutes and then because after a few minutes came the came, came the patience which were wounded and that no one has yet been held to account. families of the victims are up against the political and security establishment, accused of hiding behind immunity. that defeats the very purpose and the very sense of the floor, and that does not reflect on a dat dish or ability judiciary ability to conduct effective investigation and to ensure accountability for the abuses that committed. it's still not known what caused the initial fire. what is also not known as if the ammonium nitrate was intended for bay root? the ship that carried 2750 tons of the chemical made an unscheduled stop here in late 2013. the cargo was offloaded after a death dispute,

but it's also not clear if most of the stockpile was in the warehouse, when the explosion happened throughout the years, top officials, military and security officers knew about the dangerous chemicals and did nothing about it. human rights watch says they also mischaracterized the danger posed in communications with the judiciary. we found that the emissions and actions of lebanese government and security officials constituted a violation of the right to life under international law. and there appears to have been attempts to disguise the true identity of the owners of the ammonium nitrate. i'm the ship and why the ship came to lebanon in the 1st place. a year on a route is still a broken city. yet to recover from one of the largest non nuclear explosions in history then for their elders either beta was in has been looking into how the explosion happened. our program was search for on,

says airs on wedding stay at 2330 g n t. still ahead on our 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 boarding school. many now see that as an attempt at cultural genocide, we'll have that story coming up, syria, refugees, lend a helping hand in germany to clean up after the flood. and one of the best performances you will ever see will show you an incredible world's record of the tokyo game with german insult. ah,

it's been undisputed the hot year in iraq, some parts of the 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 reco too. so that's 2 months in a row where we've done that, i think the 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 on the girl state data, for example, the house temperature such as 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 than it feels particularly sticky. otherwise things are as normal partners, high temperatures, few showers, in the mountains, the southwest, saudi, and west, and yemen is pretty dry now as true as iran, but a few shells around the southern cast and seem likely. hi, tim. there also

a problem as you're well aware, and the south eastern part of europe and in turkey with antalya forecasts to be at 40 when they are record highs. and the breeze is still dry and still blowing. the a year ago, one of the largest non nuclear blasts in history killed more than 200 people and injured 1000. the victims families still need answers. we want to compute justice. how did dangerous chemicals end up in baby support? let's be professional. it was not intended for muslim and was the whole stockpile unloaded from the ship? the missing amal and it wasn't all in one way or another. membership in an illegal way before join me for their, for the full reports on most people will never know what's beyond these doors, the deafening silence of $100.00 and how it feels

to touch danger every day. most people will never know what it's like to work with. every breath is precious, with fear is not an option, but we're not most people. oh a the ordering. i'll just remind you of our top story this. there's been a 2nd large explosion in the capital couple. the 1st one happened near the defense ministers house that was done far following that explosion. there's no one yet on any casualties, but

a port say the defense minister has not been hurt. at least 4 ships have reported they've lost control of their steering and the gulf of a man that's according to the marine traffic dot com that a few details on the cause of the incidental. for jetta is unclear, as it actually is on the outskirts of the great capital are coming under threat from wildfires. thousands of people live in the area. far as being driven by near reco temperatures around new president is promising to lift oppressive us sanctions, but not at the expense of getting into foreign demands ever came. and you see has been officially endorsed by supreme leader alex, how many a ceremony in tech run, the conservator clearly takes power with iran and the grip of a severe economic crisis. the 60 year old has also place to revive the 2015 nuclear deal. not amendment that we are going to make sure the sanctions 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 12th government has done, but we need a short term immediate program to resolve the issues we are facing today. all around incoming president facing some tough challenges covered 19 being devastating with more than 91000 deaths. iran is the worst hit country in the middle east. tracy says he wants people to get vaccinated is also promised to get us sanctions lifted. if a crushing effect on the economy and the effect of the oil sales, imports and exports lead to our on having to spend beyond its means. pricing says he's going to continue talks on the 2015 nuclear deal from which the u. s. withdrew 3 years ago. there's been 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 white group, say there was about a crackdown and protest because

a stan province which approved fatal over dwindling water supplies. and i says one of his goals is to end government corruption. what, how may de bashi is a professor of iranian studies at columbia university is joining us live from new york is very good to have with us and colleges either. so thank you very much. indeed. we heard the new president say just a moment ago, he was not going to connect the airlines economy to the lifting of the us sanctions . is it possible to do that or the 2 intertwined? they are, the 2 are intertwined. it is impossible. iranian economy is massive. oil based is a economy predicated on the sale of oil and domestic gross national product is not sufficient. and as a result, the impact of the u. s. that sanctions against over the last 2 decades at least even more have been devastating.
