outskirts of the great capital athens, or on the threat 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 near the city's heavily fortified grains on which is home to government. buildings and embassies. gunfire followed the explosion. no group has admitted responsibility. showing ambrose 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 guards were wounded. i assure my beloved countryman, such

a text cannot, has any impact on my willingness to defend my countrymen and my country. diplomatic added her james base joins us live now from cobble. hello there, james. you were close to that explosion. what's the situation like where you are now? yeah, we were actually driving from the al jazeera office in quite heavy traffic. was going to, we're going to take a detour, we got to the point where there was a junction to go past the defense ministers house and we started to turn to go in that direction. we were between 2 and 300 meters away. when there was a very loud explosion, quite a jolt to the car, then we saw sparks in the air and a big plume of spoke. and what we now know is that that was a car bomb attack, part of what appears to have been a complex attack in the, in the words of those who study these things, which is an initial explosion. and then gunman taking their places and trying to,

to, to, to, to then carry out a further attack. and it took many hours for the afghans security forces to secure the see not only happened in the early hours of the morning, we now know, and there's no official announcement and no official figures, but from piecing together the information. we now know that they were probably for attackers. all of them have been killed. we also believe that 4 people were killed . we don't know exactly who was killed. what we do know for definite is the apartment target because this was around the house of the defense minister business dot com, the very well known figure. he's a former command, even before he was the defense minister, going back to the time when the merger had been, we're fighting the soviet union. he was not in the house at the time, but he appears to have been the target. he is fine and on well, and has been giving interviews about the situation. so the target of this attack was not harmed in any way. but clearly there'll be questions for the afghan

security forces because this was in what is supposed to be. one of the most secure parts of the capital city was not clear who carried out the attack, no claim from any group at this stage. frightening stuff, james, we're glad you're safe. now the un security council has condemned the attacks and i can see the civilians. and yet china and russia were only talking to the taliban recently is this is sign of a most of cohesion within the international community. against these rapid taliban and balances. will certainly talk about have been advancing a great deal in recent weeks. and they've got very large parts of a row, last kind of stuff, but they're now pushing in on the cities. the security council statement, i think, was mainly on the fact that a un compound in harass, came under the attack over the weekend. and they wanted to make it very clear,

very firmly clear to every party in this conflict that the un should not be targeted. but they also condemned the rising violence in the country. china and russia, as you say, have been talking to the taliban, but so in the last 48 hours has the european union, a very senior envoy meeting with the tongue in doha. i think everyone is trying to push this back in terms of the diplomats to the negotiating table in dough hall. and i think many would like that to be a sci fi for the talks to continue in the hall. but the taliban all along have said they'd lose their leverage if there was a c spot, they continue that military campaign until they get a settlement with the african governments. the latest word on that though he talks, which is, you know, not really achieve much since the original doha deal between the u. s. and the taliban. the talks between the african government and the taliban have been pretty stalled. but we understand that talks like to resume in the next 2 weeks. thank you so much for your insights. the james bans fly for us from cobble and

people have been ordered to get out of afghanistan. southern city of laska guy is security forces fight back against the taliban government troops to launch a big operation on the armed group in the capital of home and province. at least 200000 people live in. charlotte balance has now more on the situation in laska nash cargo the capital of 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 u. s. began its military draw down the taliban, published videos of themselves in the center of flesh, cargo, and at the main market, asserting they had control of most of the city. the ones who the enemy stuck in some places of the city like their intelligence, offices, police and governors compound by our taliban are 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 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 commander for home and made the request in a voice nose that was quickly spread among those still in less cargo than no arms and was colored. it will be very hard fighting. we will not leave the taliban a life at any cause. i know it will very hard for you and it was very hard decision for me to see. 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 cobble say the strategy is flawed, telling the population to go, 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 and less 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. the so many people fleeing the villages con, 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's sake stop the fighting. in the western city herat, the situation is equally fluid. special forces arrived 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 to sponsibility and we need to step up the telephone pressure on provincial capital, just growing every day. the moved to evacuate. last got some personal resource. questions about the sol, maybe the best, the best shot 0 an oil tanker is thought to have been hijacked off the coast of the united arab emirates with several other ship signaling. they're also in trouble. britain's maritime agency says a potential hijack is unfolding of food gyro. it appears to involve a beecham and tank called the asphalt princess for other ships in the area report that they were not under command. last week, 2 crew members were killed in a drawing attack on in these riley manage vessel of the coast of oma or man britain . the us and israel accused iran, which denied involvement. and iran state have

housing advocates say there are too many roadblock getting the money to landlords, leaving tenants in a bond. and there is the problem of whether moratoriums declared by the administration or legal, the supreme court recently ruled there not. and that only congress can authorize them. well, congress didn't do that before going on summer holiday, leading some congress women to sleep on the steps of the capitol and protest, and to call on bite and to act. i do understand it. i do know what i do know what it's like to have baby sleeping in a car, trash bag my belongings. everything i own in trash because i know what those like. there is no way that i was back can be quite. and then now abrasion, you guys decide to live late on tuesday, the cdc announced it will give renters in areas with high covert caseload, another 60 days of release. but what's needed is a long term financial solution to help americans through another search. one that's
