ah, me, ah ah, on the brink of the civil war as fighting intensifies the african army oldest people to leave last and last go off and campbell, ah, i'm how my he'd been and this is al jazeera life and also coming up under its own evacuation as reaching world, far as in, closer to homes on the outskirts of athens, india sees a spike and the number of daily corona virus, death, cases, and 11,

and is still looking for answers one here on a huge exclusion rule. the capital ah yes can. capital has been shaken by another explosion just a day after an attack kills at least 4 people. the lease, as blast went off, the defense facility injury 3 the well tuesday car bombing was followed by a gun attack near the home of the defense minister. it's close to the cities heavily fortified green zone, where government buildings and embassies on located in the claim of responsibility . but the us says, the attack bears the hallmarks of the taliban sharma in rose a suicide attack by wild terrace. 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 wanted. i assure my beloved countryman that such a tax cannot, has any impact on my willingness to defend my countrymen and my country offers as fighting intensifies elsewhere between the taliban and the military. the un security council says deeply concerned about human rights abuses and escalating violence in a statement. condemn delivered to tax on african civilians and only un compound inherits province. last week, one member of the african security forces were killed in the tank. it's also colon for progress towards sci fi and a political settlements, or it's of some, as again sir james base is in kabul with more on the attack and the international response to the escalation conflicts. we happened to be in a car and happened to be quite close to the defense ministers house driving in the direction of the defenseless. this house about less than 300 meters away. when there was this very loud explosion that seemed to lift the front of the car very

briefly and, and then we saw the sparks in the air and massive plume of smoke. and we now know that that was a car bombing, the start of what is known by experts is a complex attack. so the bomb goes off 1st and then the gunman take, hold, go in and carry out more of the attack. we believe the official figures come out yet before taxes have been killed. we believe also for other people killed. i don't think anyone watching the situation expected the us to pull out quite as quickly as they did. i think it took the rest of the international community, and many of us as close as allies don't feel they were very well consulted to them all by surprise. the biden announcement to pull out of afghanistan. i think surprised number 2, was that the taliban so quickly filled some of the vacuum international community all concerned. they want everyone back at the negotiating table. they want

a sci fi, but the leverage on the taliban isn't there anymore. because of course, the leverage was the international forces, and that was the bargaining chip, whether the international forces withdrew to withdraw, not well the international forces. effectively. there are a handful here effectively that out. and so i think that changes the dynamics on the talks. and i think the taliban must feel with the military gains they've made in recent weeks that they now have the upper hand at the negotiating table. those talks have been stalled. until now. we understand that the hard talk a likely to try and resume in the next couple of weeks. people have been ordered to leave the scanner son's southern city of laska gone as security forces fight back against the taliban government troops or to launch a big operation on the ons. griffin, the capital of home, and province. at least 200000 people live there. charlotte palace has more lash ca, garza capitol live 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 telephone, published 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 less cargo than 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 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 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 off to fighting last month. but it too is contested by tell a bomb. the 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 resource. questions about the sol, maybe the best, the best shot is there an oil tanker is thought to have been hijacked off the coast of the united arab emirates, several other ships signaling their trouble. britain's maritime agency sense

shopping malls, and commercial flights. the delta variance is being blamed for search in cases nearly 5000 reported on saturday of the highest fairly tally in 2 months. let's get one from come all hydra who jones's for push over with more come all pakistan hits and quite the milestone that in terms of vaccinations being given. but the virus is clearly still having an impact in pakistan engaged and it did the delta way and that you're driving with the highest number of all your dividend cases reported and a proven she'll send way restrictions. i've been reinforced. and the provinces in our state of bar bosher law, down from the 1st of august which were locked in the 8th of august. but they said, indeed, a dangerous phenomena. big gods, barger don, was able to perform quite well during that term where they were warning from the

government that the b, but you're not be complacent. that day should read that march, and that didn't get racks and they did. now. new restrictions have been import, smarter, locked down, derogatory and bored, and hot spots where the water dvd ratio is quite high. so budget on indeed, nervously watching the boat for rave. and so far, the report coming from across the country, that date is showing an upward tragic trade show. it will be important to see how the government will be able to cope with their davin board. new restriction, reading halls will not be allowed to entertain more than $400.00 gas, and that goes directly unaided. get people will not be able to travel on the airline. if they do not have the vaccination certificates. and of course, markets across the country will be closed for the next 2 days in a week. they will be manned, it will be mandatory for them to close earlier. but it will be important to see

whether the country age going to be able to come to grips with this. fought more dangerous wave. ok. come all high. do their life for us in peshawar? thank you so much. come all that in the face of rising cobra. cases across the u. s . suns political pressure. the bike administration has decided to extend the moratorium on housing evictions for 60 days, also in georgia and reports from washington. 11 months ago the us imposed an eviction moratorium for 15000000 renters to slow the spread of cobit 19 and to not put sick people out of their homes. the moratorium expired on saturday, even though cobit cases are rising again. by monday morning landlords had flooded housing courts with petitions to evict their tenants. $3000000.00 could become homeless this month. louise dantes is among them. he was in the hospital and unable

to work. he now owes his landlord $5000.00. they gave me 3 weeks because i begged for it, and in 3 weeks i have no idea where i'm going to go. or what i'm going to do. us president joe biden under pressure to extend the moratorium told reporters on tuesday. this situation was not supposed to happen. we'll probably give some additional time while we're getting at $45000000000.00 out to people who are in fact behind in the rent and don't have the money. that's why it was passed in, in the act that we passed in the beginning, my ministration, and it went to the states. we were under the impression of the states for moving this money out relatively rapidly. that $45000000000.00 and back rent assistance was part of biden's. first. major pandemic emergency spending law as president. but 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, they're 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 is like to have baby sleeping in a car, trash bag my belongings, everything i own in because i know what those like. there is no way that i was back in life. and then now abrasion, you guys live late on tuesday, the cdc announced it will give renters in areas with high coven caseload, another 60 days of release. but what's needed is a long term financial solution to help americans through another search. one that is not easily found in a time of deep political partisanship. rosalyn jordan al jazeera washington

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 that there else is eda beta. and you can see that special program buys a now on the disaster payments. search for answers right here on al jazeera this wednesday at 2330 gmc a bell russian olympics spencer has left japan after been granted a humanitarian visa in poland. christina, similar squire says the authorities in bella. ruth made it clear she would be punished if she returned home. she accused her team's officials of trying to force her to leave the tokyo games early after she criticized her coaches. limbic holes nation japan are about to take on arch rivals, south korea for
