in you don't wish well, thousands of people on the outskirts of athens have been full to leave their homes as a while. farm is closer. more than 505 factors are trying to contain the blaze in an industrial area in a suburb of the greek capital. temperatures of more than 40 degrees celsius and try winds have found the flames as more than a 100 separate fires. of us fires. benny across the great capital, the skies so very dark. joining us now as a bas robbie who's also with us on the outskirts of athens, just bring us up to speed about where you was a because it seems the emergency services of fighting the fires on all fronts. the good breaking up? yes. so what we can tell you is that there was optimism. 7 this morning that the
2:04 pm
fires could be quelled very quickly. here in the north of athens, we've seen the worst fire so far. this. well, as far as the season, it's been ongoing for now. 24 hours. and what had been hoped is that it could have been extinguished with ariel drops this morning. but the fact is that the heat wave is more intense today than it was yesterday. the temperatures are high, the ground is dry and the wind is beginning to pick up again. and what we're seeing is multiple fronts. up enough rescue workers are going from one spot to another. we were just with a series of teams that were we were waiting to get the call for where the next fire is. and we've just been following them in that direction. we've seen air drops of water put out fires about 100 meters in this direction and where we drove up behind us fires are rekindling there. and that really is the fear now that the fires that had been put out because of the extreme heat, are now rekindling in the same places that the firefighters that you just saw behind me were fighting those blazes just 24 hours ago. and it seems that the
2:05 pm
optimism of this morning that officials had hoped this fire could be put out in a matter of hours that has certainly faded in the fear. now, is it that rekindling is going to get worse than before? on the outskirts of athens. thanks very much. the hot weather has also been driving huge fires in italy, taurus and residents have been evacuated from the coastal cities of catania and scar firefighters that they faced hundreds of blazes and populated areas in the past few days. but they're starting to get some under control. the celebrated is warning of more tanks against top african government officials. earlier on wednesday, campbell was shaken by another explosion. the defense facility. now the television claimed responsibility for tuesdays car bama tank that followed a gun battle near the home of the defense minister. a people were killed. the blast
2:06 pm
happened close to the city is heavily fortified. green zone, where government buildings and embassies are located are difficult to get james bay's reports. now from the scene of that blast in the capital, it is a scene of devastation here. this is where the attack took place just here in front of me was where the car was parked. it was detonated, but it was part of what experts call a complex attack. because then attackers had made their way into the building. we believe there were 4 attackers. there was a firefight, went on here for several hours. the african commanders and special forces made their way here and had to go room to room through the building and finally declared the situations safe in the early hours of the morning. the casualty figures are not entirely clear, but in addition to the attack, as we think there were about 8 other people who were killed and a large number were injured. what's interesting, i think about this and concerning for the afghan government is the taliban
2:07 pm
statement. because the thought about have said they carried out this attack, the 1st major attack in the capital for about 4 months. and they say that it's the beginning of a new campaign, a campaign that's going to target senior government officials in the capital. so the tunnel seemed to be pursuing to very different types of warfare, the same time here in the capital. now, attacks like this on conventional warfare, what the government would call terrorism. and in the south of the country, much more conventional warfare where they're trying to take territory and fighting street to street. now the security council says it's deeply concerned about human rights abuses and escalating violence and a statement that condemned deliberate attack, so napkins civilians and on un compounds and iraq province. last week, one member, an african security forces, was killed in the attack. and all of this is fighting intensifies in last got

a guy and helman province where the army has asked civilians to leave. the city is ready forces, find several rockets into lebanon after 2 rockets fired from lebanon landed inside israel. they landed in the area of kitty shimoda were no more injured that were noble injuries residence in northern israel, have been told to stay at home. commemorations had begun in lebanon to mark one. yes, since the bay route port explosion. they killed 200 people. and a 1000 more injured, the blast was caused by a huge stock of ammonium nitrate that was one of the largest non nuclear explosions ever recorded. it destroyed thousands of homes and force the government to resign. when you're wrong, victims are still waiting for answers as and how to report stuff from beirut. the got to silos that they roots, port still stand as a symbol of a tragedy. i feel what the building behind us collapse and 4 people were killed.
2:09 pm
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 favorable materials. 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 patients 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,
2:10 pm
came the patients 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 for a sense of the road and flow, and that does not reflect on a dat dish or ability dissertations, 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,
2:11 pm
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 for their elders either beta. and you can see a special program by xena on the disaster. it's called bay root search for and says it's here on al jazeera. on wednesday at 2330 gmc

with more on how if you, if you're is treating 8 organizations military organization said that they were suspended since last week, but it was just a short while ago that the government put out the statement confirming that and the things that they've accused those organizations, i've included using social media to disseminate propaganda, humanitarian organization commonly try to publicize the crises that they're working on, where they're trying to assist people. the government, on the other hand, throughout the duration of the conflict, was cut off the internet, cut off the phone, cut off the electricity throughout the gray region. there's definitely an information war going on as well. and the government clearly object to the humanitarian organization telling the world about what's actually going on on the ground. another one of those accusations was against doctors without borders reinforcing satellites communications equipment without a license for the schools. and all of the traditional usual communications are off
