and at the main market asserting they had control of most of the city of when 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 it 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's bombing from the air and the tell banner on the ground, the army commander for home and made the request in a voice lowers that 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 in cobble 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 1900 ninety's. it's tens of thousands of people and less car guy. he generals warning many will have 3 hours each to can to ha city the closest 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 a place to sleep, not even in the situation so that we want both the taliban and the government to stop fighting for god thing stopped the fighting in the western city herat. the situation is equally fluid. special forces arrive to boast of the military and allied vices 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 is possibility and we need to step on the telephone pressure on provincial capital just growing every day. the moved to evacuate last got some personal questions about the sol, maybe the best the best god is sharla felice 0. the u. s. department has issued a warning to the taliban. we're going to be looking to their actions. they have said that they feel the utility of a negotiated solution. they are engaged in doha. but the simple point remains that if they attempt and seek to do otherwise,

if they seek to contravene what they have said, then they will be in and out. prior. they won't have the support of their people, they won't have the support of the international community. and the concern on the part of all of us, one of the main, one of many concerns, is that the results will be civil war. will be a civil war in which the afghan people do not have and won't be in a position to achieve the safety and security in which they deserve. an oil tanker is thought to have been hijacked off the coast of the united arab emirates with several other ship signaling they are in trouble. britain's maritime agency says a potential hijack is unfolding of food gera, it appears to involve beecham and tanker cold. the ass felt princess for other ships in the area are reported. they were not under command. the reuters news agency is reporting a runs revolutionary god. has denied iranian forces or its allies are involved.

lines we've had previously with the somali hijackers, that it will be a massive for the ship owner and the insurance company to sort out thousands of people on the outskirts of athens have been forced to flee their homes as a large wildfire moves closer well than 50500 is trying to contain the blades near the industrial area. in this, in a suburb of the great capital. temperatures of more than 40 degrees celsius and dry winds have fanned the flames of more than a 100 separate fires. the prime minister says it's the worst hate wave. the country is sane in more than 30 years. zane bez robbie has more from northern athens. it's been a very long and busy day here in athens, i've got a few figures i can give you. there have been a total of $81.00 fires in the past 24 hours. and many of them like the one behind me and the one to the east of us are those of the 40 that are still going. the crews are still trying to put out. no officials had said that they were hoping to get more of this area under control before nightfall,

but the ground crews have been going in for the past several hours and are still pressing through, trying to suppress the blaze. a total of $315.00 rescue missions nationwide by police and firefighters, according to the government to rescue people trapped in the fire zones, still no reports of casualties. thankfully, the prime minister has said that the priority now is to preserve life as much as possible and people who lost their homes will be housed in hotels at the government's expense. so the fact is that especially with the heat wave expected to get worse and coming weeks, the wildfires here are also expected to continue to get worse. while residents, interiors into coastal cities in easley have been told to lave as wildfires continue to burn near by emergency cruise name is scar, and this is cillian city. if catania have seen hundreds of flare ups in the past few days, the situation in central is lee has been largely contained. but 5 crews tackled

the air to put out the remaining blazes. but low humidity, strong winds, ceiling here are hampering there. a force with 3 fire steel burning nearby. almost entire winters has had to evacuate. the local, say, the government's health came late and that things would be worse if they hadn't done what they called themselves to stop the fires. when the fire grab the houses, the fire trucks didn't take action the time they just ask people to leave it to where life is disappearing in front of our eyes. it's late and went into the hill. this is not enough. helicopters applied to all the efforts were in vain, and that we just had to watch our village as it was taking a lot of the fires continue to rage in the south in provence. this of taiyah moolah, dana iden, and the sparta live in many with no choice other than to move to safe ground. this will say that al jazeera ginormous and murder investigation has been launched.

to my opinion. it would try not to think about our own safety because we're, i'm in the european union and the reason physical border between european union and della was and we want to, we want to make sure that she can she redeem the people who came here on secure because we are going to are we are, we are going after him when we do everything possible to open and she initiated criminal case against, oh gosh, i'm a hook, i mean, talker committed, many, many crimes against people. for example, to give you an example only within 8 months, 12 people were killed, not a single criminal case was initiated. 35000 people went through the presence and you know, there is no justice. and so we need to act and we need to do everything possible being outside of billups. abella ration athlete at the lympics has left the polish embassy in tokyo, where she saw protection after refusing to be sent time christina to minute guy and says,

a dozen new fires sicily and put us in italy. the us centers for disease control and prevention has announced a new 60 day moratorium on rental evictions in areas with high levels of covered 19 infections. the older covers about 90 percent of the us population. rosalind jordan joins us live now from washington. d. c. thanks for joining us, rosalind. this must come as welcome news for millions of wrenches across the country. well, certainly those who say that the moratorium never should have expired this past weekend are rejoicing. but 60 days isn't a lot of time. considering that already $45000000000.00 had been set aside in legislation earlier this year by the incoming biden administration. that money for the most part, has not reached the landlord whose tenants have not been able to pay their rent

because of the economic impact caused by the pandemic. and so 60 days isn't really a lot of time to try to get all of that money dispersed because of bureaucratic road, blogs and procedures. but certainly something that the u. s. president joe biden is, is hoping is that local governments and state governments will actually take advantage of this time to try to provide more relief. not just to the people who have been unable to pay their rent in their apartments or in their homes, but also to the landlords who have mortgages to pay and who themselves are facing, precarious financial impact because they haven't been getting their rent checks. so this is basically a bit of breathing room, but really the only way to fix this is for congress to come back into session and to work out a way to legalize the process of moratoriums so that there's more time to help people on both sides of this housing equation actually get through the pandemic.

yes, you mentioned that it's not very long at all. i mean, it already takes us up to october 3rd. and as you mentioned on the other side of the coin, we have landlords that are wanting this rent money way too. from here over the next 60 days. can it all get sorted in time by october? 3rd? probably not. that's really not a lot of time when you consider that this money was actually appropriated by congress and signed back by the president several months ago. so there's already been at least $90.00 to $120.00 days where this money largely has not been distributed. this put it this way, some 15000000 people are basically covered by this new by the extended moratorium. but 3000000 people could lose their homes this month. if there is no actual resolution. and if their landlords don't pull back the petitions to

already evict people from their homes, it's really become a bureaucratic complication. and certainly there's not, there's not a whole lot that the buying administration can do to compel people on the local level to do one thing or another. they're legally very prescribed in what they can do. basically, all the president could do on tuesday was to strongly encourage local officials and state officials to speed up the process. but again, when you're talking about federal disbursements, you're talking about a lot of regulations and how these things are handled. who can be the middle men or middle women as it were, to help distribute the funds. and they're all of these regulatory requirements that people have to meet. so 60 days, it's sounds like a good idea, but it just isn't going to be enough time. plenty of moving parts to the sun. thank

you for the update. rosalind jordan, they live for us in washington. they say us president joe biden has cold on new york's governor to resign after an independent investigation found he sexually harassed at least 11 women. the allegations against andrew cuomo include unwelcome physical contact and suggestive comments. investigators say there was a clear pattern of abusive behavior. the independent investigation found the governor cuomo sexually arrest multiple women, many of whom were young women, by engaging and, and one is groping. kisses, hugging and by making inappropriate comment that kwan i denied the investigation findings and is resisting calls for his resignation. i never touched anyone inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances. i am 63 years old. i have lived my entire adult life in public view. that is just

not who i am and that's not who i have ever been. it's been a one years since a huge explosion, devastated 11 on capital, killing more than 200 people and injuring it many more. nearly 300000 were left homeless. families of the victims is still demanding answers as xena harder reports from bay roche. the gutted silos at bay roots port still stand as a symbol of a tragedy. i feel what the building behind us collapse and 4 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 flavor bill materials. the neighborhoods

were destroyed, more than 200 people were killed on august 4, 2020. we saw her thinker is there her running shoes? we didn't expect or imagined that he will be at the point, we wrote wolf saw her that her sister, jessica worked at one of the roots hospitals. many were badly damaged in the explosion. all the hospital teens ran 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 game, 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 of 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 insure accounts our ability 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 miss characterize 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 an attempt to disguise the true identity of the owners of the ammonium nitrate on the ship and why the ship came to lebanon in the 1st place. a year on bay root is still a broken city. yet to recover from one of the largest non nuclear explosions in history, then there is either beta and as live and unprepared to mock the 1st anniversary. all that explosion, dinah will be taking a look at how it happened in a special program. they were search for answers that's here on al jazeera, on wednesday at 2330 g and i this is al jazeera and these are the top stories this our.
