outskirts of the great capital, athens are under a thread from a huge wildfire. ah, we begin in afghanistan where at least 4 people have been killed and several wounded after 2 separate explosions in the capital campbell. the. the 1st happened near the defense ministers house. the 2nd was new, the cd is heavily fortified. green zone, which is home to government buildings and embassies. gunfire followed the explosion . no group has admitted responsibility. show him lose a suicide attack by wild terrorist targeted my house by the grace of god. neither me nor my family members were hurt. but unfortunately, a number of my body cars were wanted, i assure my beloved countrymen that such a touch to not has any impact on my willingness to defend my countrymen and my

country. the un security council has condemned deliberate attacks on civilians in afghanistan in a statement that 15 members declared their opposition to a restoration of rule by the taliban. charlotte balice is in the afghan capital. she has all the lights on the blast in cobble, as well as the fighting with the taliban in the south. this started at 8 p. m and my colleagues were 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 shockwave, the calm 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 bisman han, and he said in a tweet, don't worry, everything is fine. then he begun fire. there's been explosions, special forces, of course, of the area, and many people has been evacuated. now to tell you

a little bit about the general molar. ha, he's only recently been appointed as defense ministry, but he's very well known in afghanistan. he's respected for his experience on the battlefield. he fought 140 years ago against the soviets, and then later under a cha masood against the tele bombs. 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 afghan government responded with its special forces with it strikes the us hooked 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 teams to thousands of people. here's our report on the chicago nash call got the capital at home in provence, and in the cross years 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 us 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, on our, 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 old 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 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 1990 s. it's tens of thousands of people unless car guy he generals warning many will have 3 hours 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. the so many people fleeing the village is gone. find a place to sleep, not even intense. the situation is so bad. i want both the taliban and the

government to stop fighting for god thing. stop 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 always 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. charlotte 0 an oil tank is thought to have been hijacked off the coast of the united arab emirates with several other ship signaling. they are also in trouble. wittons

maritime agency says a potential hijack is unfolding of a few gyro. it appears to involve a beecham and tanka called the ass, felt princess, for the ships in the area reported they were not under command. last week 2 crew members were killed in a drawing attack on a new rally managed vessel off the coast of britain. the us and israel accused iran, which denied involvement around state tv reported comments from the foreign ministry spokesman, who denied ty ron's involvement in this life latest incident as well. how about this in my school about the following contradictory reports are foreign ministry spokesman. describe the repeated recurrence of security incidents for ships in this region completely suspicious and warn against any deceitful propaganda with specific political intent, he underlined ron's policy of creating and maintaining stability and security in the region comment. he added that iranian naval forces have express preparedness to

offer assistance here and rescue to the vessels sailing across the region and if required, if they can come forward with maritime backup services to get that amount of maritime expert. lauren's brennan says the race in history of incidence in the area gives cause to serious concern and 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, et cetera. 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. thousands of people on the outskirts of athens have been forced to flee their homes, is a large wildfire moves closer well than 500 firefighters trying to contain the blaze in an industrial area, 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. zane and bez robbie has more from those in 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. that weather is also driving fires in italy, tourists and residents have been told to leave the coastal cities of catania and the scar. adam rainy reports from his garra on italy's east coast,

grace and easily thousands of people on the outskirts of athens have been forced to flee their. busy horns and via cruise tackled more than half a dozen new 5 in sicily, and who glee in easily a murder investigation has been launched. after a vocal bella, russian activist was found dead in ukraine. the tally shove led a group that was helping people flay persecution from president alexander lucas. shank, his government. andrew simmons has this report from london, italy she shoves 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, a suicide. that 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, so people fleeing persecution there. he knew he was under surveillance so that his friends for the 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 if they're miles shot. because this is what's gonna happen to you, lucas shank, a dub, by his enemies. the last of europe's dictators has ruled the 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 tor 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 more support for the opposition. diplomatic niceties. aside though, the opposition data set, none of the people was safe, least of all her. i can disappear any more my understand this, but i should do. what time do i can't store because i'm you know, i feel risky to be listed for future. i found with the same as all those the fight and the moment feel they were supposed to be said longer taking no sky was in washington before arriving here in downing street messaging in both capital. it was 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. 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 vigilance, she shut off. it is indeed a warning to opposition activists. andrew simmons, al jazeera london for a good tips gallow, isabel medical activist, and later of the bellows opposition movement, she says nowhere abroad is safe, but that's not the movements my concern. although, as people understand and realize that we cannot be safe, even inside of those all type of beliefs, especially in the countries like russia or your queen. because for example, if we talk about russia, there is no border between russia and bella, luce, greece, border between russia or between dollars in the ukraine. but it's quite easy for the people, especially including the key g people or special forces to cross the border. because there is no need to have these are and the procedure itself is quite simple

. that's why i think, especially people who, who had to feed the country, either russia or your queen in danger, 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 the physical border between european union and della was and we want to, we want to make sure that i'm can, she's regina, 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. so gosh, i'd go hook, i mean, the 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. the us centers for disease control and prevention has

announced a new 60 day more tore him on rental evictions in areas with high levels of coven 19 infections. the order to have is about 90 percent of the u. s. population was land. jordan has moved from washington. 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 landlords 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 roadblocks 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 a 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. still in the u. s. in president joe biden has called on new york's government to resign after an independent investigation found who, sexually harassed at least 11 women. the allegations against cuomo include unwelcome at physical contact and suggestive comments. investigators say there was

a clear pattern of behavior, quite denied the investigation findings and is resisting call for his resignation. i never touched any one 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 one years since a huge explosion, devastated lebanon's capital killing more than 200 people and injuring many more. nearly $300000.00 were left homeless after the explosion on august 4th, last year. families of victims is still demanding answers as xena holder reports from by roach. the gutted silos at bay roots port still stand as a symbol of a tragedy. i see 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 believed 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 teens ran to the patient and had to move them to the secured area which turned into 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 of the very sense of the ruling flow, and that does not reflect where on a, dat dish or ability judiciary ability to conduct executive investigation and to ensure accountability for the abuse that's 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 debt 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 an attempt 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 there else is eda beta and you can see a special program by zayna on the disaster by rates search for answers here on al jazeera on wednesday at $23.00 posey jane jane. after record floods

killed at least 180 people in germany, a group of refugees from syria have joined the recovery of it to give something back to the nation that welcomed them. step besson went to meet them. deep in the basement of a centuries old church, they are cleaning up one bucket at a time. for the past 2 weeks, the syrian refugees have picked up shuffles and how to clear the tons of debris left after the worst flood this historical town has ever seen. i'm very proud that i can help people here and religious institutions. true for me. there's no difference, whoever i help and what her background is, this is like the last place, the series thought they would end up up asleep. there was straight them pounds back home. here in the darkness of the florida, the roman catholic church showing dead gratitude and the spirit of to get an eye given hope to don't feel suffering from the loss and destruction. after the class.

most of the syrians came to germany in 2015, when more than 1000000 who fled the war in their own country were accepted by uncle american government. it responded to an appeal on social media. after seeing the scale of destruction caused by the flats on television, germany gave us the shelter, give us education, give us food, and a place to evolve and drive in this country. and they considered us as one of them. so we felt that we are part of this society and when we feel this, we feel that we need to help and get those trophy nearly 3 weeks after torrential rains, cause flooding and north way must finally and right land. the latin aid, the clean up as well on the way survivors say this is not because of government help, but solely thanks to the volunteers. just. this is an indescribably strong feeling that people from all nationalities came and helped that every hand helped even when

it maybe was not exactly the right help at that moment. what matters as they helped and otherwise we would never have managed to do this. church lead us hope tolerance towards refugees and migrants will increase. i'm not ok, but here are people who experience paid because of their religion or that color. and i think that's a good sign in. but knowing that this doesn't matter at the moment, having experienced hardship themselves, the syrian refugees feel they can offer the right help. some have been working for 2 straight weeks, leaving their families and jobs behind is get and will you and throughout. there are 1000000 syrians in germany and we are one with the german population in good and bad time. they planned to stay after other volunteer have long gone, hoping to read.
