control the movements, so they do not cross into argentine territory from this home argent time authorities can monitor for what's happening in economic exclusive films. but what afford, if you are saying is what's important is to regulate what's happening in international waters. ah, this is al jazeera ah hi there, i'm kim vanelle. this is the new law from doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes. telephone thought you've come to the southern city of the event. they get the 1st provincial capital to fall to the group mob long offensive israel 5, back with artillery off the headphone launches

a barrage of rockets from southern lebanon. wildfires burn on the northern edge of athens. 14000 more people to flee from their homes and australian government, tell citizens living abroad, they may not be allowed to leave if they return home, even for a visit. and i'm far as love all the later from tokyo olympics, including elliptic record in the women, 1500 meters and another metal from uganda, joshua chin. peggy, the world record holder, takes gold in the 5000 meter me . but again, this uses with breaking news and i've gone to stanz conflicts. the taliban has captured the southern city of the ranch, the 1st provincial capital for since the group began and offensive to take over the territory video release by the taliban shows them on the streets. no, the range airport report suggests about 20000 people have flayed across the border

from nimrod province into iran. diplomatic editor james base joins us now live from cobble. james, what do we know about exactly what is happening and, and explain to us how significant this is. this is very significant. there are 34 provinces enough chemist on this is the 1st provincial capital, the city to fall into the hands of the taliban. this all occurred in the last couple of hours. we have it confirmed from multiple sources on the ground. now the taliban have taken control of the airport, the ins raj, they've taken control of the key government buildings were told that the intelligence headquarters was holding out. but the taliban now claiming they've got control of the intelligence headquarters as well. we know that the taught about early on took the prison. they broke into the prison. i managed to break out the inmates, which we believe included. some of the taliban fighters to taliban have issued

pictures of what's going on in the raj. the pictures show taliban fighters in humvees, of course, vehicles that were paid for by the americans and nato countries and taken from the afghan forces that now using them to patrol the streets of the zeros. earlier the taliban had called on the governor to surrender. the governor had defiantly appeared on social media. facebook post in which he on video said he wasn't going anywhere. and the taliban would not be able to take the raj. we've now just seen in the last few minutes. tell him on video of taliban fighters in the governor's office, one of them taunting the governor. you said that we would not be able to take your office where he is now. where are you? and i think that those words of the governor of the taliban fighter, i think, do beg an important question. where are the key government officials and how are they going to be treated? not much word. i can tell you from the african government at this stage on these

important developments. and one last thing, as you mentioned, the taliban taking control of arrange it at the same time in recent hours and overnight protect. we've seen a lot of people fling name rows, province. i'm going across the border into iran. some reports suggesting that the number of people who crossed from numerous into iran is as many as 20000 were also hey reports that the iranians have tried to stop people crossing. and they've been pretty heavy handed in their attempts to do so. okay, james, so that's why i know that you say dozens of provinces. there's lots of other developments elsewhere to yes, let's start here in cobble because you're a member that the taliban a couple of days ago tried to attack the defense ministers home. and they said that they're going to be part of a new campaign targeting key government officials. well, they now have killed dot com men. paul, he is the,

was the deputy spokesman to president johnny in the head of the government media office. we believe he was on his way to friday, pres, in a car when he was shot by the taliban. taliban saying that they carry that out. they said it was a punishment for his actions. they said a special merger had the unit was involved in killing him. the e u. n. boy to afghanistan, undress from brand, said he was shocked and appalled by yet another hiena se assassination. that's not the only thing that's happened elsewhere beyond the south of afghanistan. and jose john province in the north. the provincial capital, the shepherd, gun, stronghold of russia. da stone, marshall da stone, veteran commander in afghanistan. well, there the taliban have taken control of. dost them's palace and there is fighting elsewhere in chevrolet. gun fighting continues in the provincial capital held of

helmand, laska gar. so we have a situation right now where the taliban have taken control of the 1st predict provincial capital and to other provincial capital are teetering on the edge right now. all right, thank you for that update the medic editor james phase and cobble now to another major escalation between hes villa and israel. the ron banks group says it 519 rocket from saw the 11 on 2 wood israeli position in the occupied sheba farms board district. most of them were intercepted or fell an open land. the is where the military fide back without hillary says while it doesn't want to war, it's prepared for one if necessary. has the law says fridays barrage was retaliation for israeli strikes, which targeted saw the lebanon a day earlier? now we have correspondence covering this on both sides. we've got a hold of me there on the israeli side of the border. let's go 1st is an,

a honda who's in our, in southern lebanon. they just bring us up to speed. what's the latest there? well, there is a cautious calm after a brief flare up of violence along the wall. the border between long time enemies has below. and israel, the area behind me was a battle ground cross border shelling. but it was clear that neither israel nor has below was interested in any major escalation if you read has well, a statement that said that we targeted open areas around israeli military outpost, basically saying that we could have hit the military outpost. we could have caused casualties. what as well as trying to do is to tell the israelis do not change the rules of engagement, which have been in place since 2006 because on the early thursday as well retaliated to rocket fire with air strikes in the past to any retaliation along the border, they used to, you know, shell areas of the not air strikes. but i think there was also another message today. and the message was from iran via has a lot to israel,

a day or 2 after the israeli saying that we are able to directly, militarily engage with iran. so you run is saying that, well, we have allies in the region. we are able to open a number of fronts. one of those fronts is here in southern lebanon, especially since we had statement also from the palestinian group. come us, as well as the hotels in the m and congratulating, has bella for what they have done. so really a message, 2 messages here has of israel do not change the rules of engagement and iran to as well, to not start more on the on multiple fronts. right, thank you for that. then there on the 11 east side of the border. let's go over now to northern israel and hold on to me is in korea, mona, how the telephone is happening there, where you are, what we heard from the israeli? well, actually, i would say exactly what describe it just exactly how they did. it's

a cautious call here at the moment. now in the area of curious mona, if you recall on wednesday, they were to rocket that were fired from lebanon into this area. they landed in an empty field, but they did cause a bush fire. now what we're hearing really from the israeli leadership is the usual reza reg is reserved, it's right to respond whenever it sees fit. but we also do know that the defense minister, but again, they have a phone conversation with prime minister enough tally bennett. he then also had a meeting with his chief of staff and other top people from the military. now, you do get read an impression that there is no desire to escalate this situation. make no mistake. israel is obviously making its preparation minute terribly here in the north of the country. but there is a realization that this border needs to stay calm,

because whenever this border ignites, when you do also have another border in the south of the country to border with gaza, that also sometimes ignites at the same time. israel had just come out of a war. the seas fire talks are still ongoing. so certainly maybe not a desire to go any further than that. but that said, this is a very volatile area. i think whatever happens, whatever will be incoming from level, i don't was certainly have a reaction. immediate reaction just yesterday is rate israel use its air force for the 1st time in 7 years striking? yes. what is called rocket launcher sites inside lebanon, but probably it was empty field. they're not causing major damage, but certainly an escalation militarily. and here, the commanders on edge hold on me there for us in case mona. thank you.

let's talk a little bit more about this. joining us from beirut is alia. hannah retired lebanese general, and geo political strategist. thanks for joining us here on the news. our 1st of all, i want to talk hard with lebanon, is obviously in a crisis on several fronts. but from a military perspective, how matched or otherwise are his belong? and israel, i mean there is a big difference because when you talk about has been and talk about this way and you are talking about the 1st army, the strongest autumn in division versus the non state act that fights assume literally, you know what i mean. so when has been defensive on, on, defend the land, the environment, the awareness of the situation. so the fights i submitted as did happen in 2006. so we cannot really compare to because because 30 as i was totally different, the husband doesn't have like 35. israel has it,

but they try to try to match. i mean this, this force of israel by creating a new ways of fighting like i do happen. in 2006, i think this is what target will both sides be looking to so far they've been firing to areas near military targets, not at the what's your take away from that it means that nobody wants to escalate. but however, before this incident is not the anymore as after, because this formula of the code is that was created was 2006 or july war is enrolled being bit by bit. so when we talk about the formula of the 3rd and any part of the play is like husband or iran, or israel, when they see that the situation is adequate to change the, the rules of the game. they go for it, but they have to have a political calculation. so when you talk about hezbollah and as we have to look at

the regional level, we have to link the dots like what happened in the c and c o per month? what happened using the own, the suicide to grown for the cleaning of to the captain and another guy. you know, so we have to put it within the frame, big picture. so it's like 1st thing by proxy but has about a loss. fire 19 rockets. ok, so it tells me that it tells israel that we are below we have 900 rockets. we're not really aiming the military targets. however, i have a question here. everybody as well as kids. now, some of the rockets were destroyed by the iron don't. so the iron dome is from ground to defend urban area. so why this? i don't destroy some of these rockets unless they're heading toward another. been a, you know, so lots of things at the same time. so, as well as trying to create

a new rules of the game, there is any more the old rules of the game engagement interesting point about the i don't want to go down that road. you sort of brought up a little bit, connecting the dots, giving some context here for our international audience has, will, are backed by iran. tensions between long time for israel and iran, a family high right now on the as you mentioned that tanka that was attacked the tanka owned by and israeli, off the coast of amman. i mean, it does reflect a situation in iran. we have a new president here that you see, and we have a new prime minister bennett, testing each other. so when this aggressiveness of the on and to see as well as on land as well in the cyber fiber cyber space. so it means that something is not going very well in vietnam. it means that iran is not really satisfied of what is

offering, what america, what is operating to tell you about the nuclear. yeah, you're talking about you suggest? i don't know if they follow it. yeah, you're talking about the, the talks that are happening in the yeah, i mean, and in the, yeah, i mean, the not really satisfied for the are not really interested anymore. and this agreement g, c, b o, that was assigned during obama time. so we are saying we're seeing lot of things at the same time as maybe maybe it is a new abroad. i'll see it on is the funny thing that actually in my proxy when it is necessary, like in israel and how much with how much or with the liberty is one. alright. hey, thank you very much for breaking that down for us from beirut. las hannah and the news ahead data from english hospitals gives more insight into how

effective coven 19 vaccines are against the delta variance. and to valuation coaches who try to force printer. christina tim l got a home from tokyo, stripped of their lives, had passed, and then in force a messy situation. finished giants, barcelona confirm. best are player, is leaving. ah, a fire fighter has become the 1st confirmed victim of the wildfires in greece, which are continuing across the country. the intense blazes, a forest more evacuations near the capital athens. 55 years trying to stop the flame from reaching population areas. the prime minister is urging people to obey evacuation orders and not to try to defend their own homes. emergency crews are continuing to battle. several wildfires that remain out of control in turkey. opposition policies have criticized rigid type ones. government for lack of

preparedness. authorities have contained nearly 200 wildfires of the past 9 days, but at least 8 people have been killed. tens of thousands of people, including tourists, have had to move to safe areas. resource or da has moved from dela, there had been roughly around 200 y as far as the report since the y fi stuff is more than a week ago. so now in 6 provinces, there are still 13 active zones that are burning. and the, the local authorities here says that they now have a hope. because by today, the wind has lost its momentum, and the heat is lower. and by tomorrow they're expecting the humidity also to a little bit or rise, which they hope that this will help the fight against the wildfires. now we are in dilemma on april, which has been one of the most crucial coordination center through the last 9

days here. and here, and that on the russian plains, the ukrainian or their b johnny and the run in a car as well here. and they get the water from the mediterranean sea and drop down on the active zones here. right behind me. there are 2 iranian and one other b johnny, 17515. how to cope there's, there's fire fighting, how to cope to have proven to be very much crucial in this battle. they are able to make around 12 trips in just one an hour and in total, in one drop they, they drop roughly around $2.00 tones on the active zones in total. so they are able to carry around with it while 3, if they are able to phone load around 30 tones of the water on the active zones.

now, health officials in england say the levels of corona virus found in people infected with the delta variant. similar regardless of whether the been vaccinated or not. and this they will and may have implications for people's infectiousness. added that more research is needed. data from hospital admissions, with the delta variance show, 35 percent of patients were fully vaccinated, while 55 percent were not in ocoee lated. for more on this course, i have to entity baba who is in london for us to redeem. i mean, this sounds really worrying, but how concerned are or 40 is about the findings will came to be blunt. they're not particularly concerned. they're saying let's put the figures in context just to explain public health. england said on friday,

the latest analysis of people in a hospital with the delta variance of the corona virus, which is clearly the dominant strain, nearly 99 percent of cases these recently. so they're saying that the latest studies, they've done $55.00 plus 55 point one percent were unvaccinated. that had no job. while 34.9 percent had had 2 jobs, they were fully vaccinated, which might make you think, well, what does that tell us about the, the protection against hospitalization which was set to be far higher but public helping the saying that they expected something like this that as more of the population actually does get vaccinated, we will see a higher relative percentage of people in hospital who have been vaccinated. and the data set was fairly small that numbers in the hundreds. another thing that they've said is that the only evidence shows that indicates

that quote levels of virus and those who become infected with delta, having already been vaccinated may be similar to levels found in on vaccinated people. they think that could have implications for how infectious people are, but they're saying that they see early days that stressing caution on that as well . there have been other worrying signs beyond what they're saying. for example, the situation in london is cause for concern because 7 in the 7 out of the 10 bar is with the lowest level evacuations nationwide in england, 7 of the top 10 in england a found in london. and in some of those, as many as a 3rd of all adults have received no vaccination whatsoever. ok,

nadine bob at the law firm in london, thank delta driven infections are causing more restrictions and frustration across asia, malaysia, seeing record numbers while seemingly endless on and off lock downs in a straightly cause uproar among critics phones really reports. hundreds of people marched on the streets of melbourne on thursday night at victoria steak and strayer entered lockdown. since the pandemic began, police arrested more than a dozen people. more than 60 percent of a straight lines are locked down on friday, including in 3 of its largest cities, melvin sydney and prison officials tried to stamp out an outbreak of the delta vary and i know the all of us victorians are set up. we're tired. we've all had enough of these of these loc downs and the, and the restrictions that we're placing on all day to day life. but we know that it works. we've seen with a previous outbreaks that we can forget this to,

we can get to grips with this very quickly if we continue to work together. in malaysia health official say the delta variant, which is much more transmissible, is now the dominant strain in the country. it's like wrapping up a speculation campaign and looking down the country for more than 2 months. malaysia has seen a record high. 1 in the number of new infections and death this week, the government's failure to prevent the spread of the virus has led to colds for the prime minister and we didn't. yes, in to resign. china to is trying to contain an outbreak of the delta variant on wednesday it tightened overseas travel restrictions, what citizens, local governments have tested entire cities and locked down millions of people this week. dansville could be as long as all like holidays strictly implement prevention and control measures. this round of outbreaks can be basically controlled within $2.00 to $3.00 incubation period. many asian countries, which had been successful in containing the corona virus last year,

announcing an increase in new infection driven main lead by the delta vary and check and florence louis al jazeera quality sampling. at the trailers, government has changed board rules which could prevent expense from leaving. currently trading and citizens and residents need permission to leave the country. australians living abroad who comfort visits will no longer be exempt from this requirement. rein wait is a constitutional expert in senior electra at the university of sydney law school and joins us now. law, thank you for your time. so just just explain this for me. so straight in who go home even to visit. so they haven't seen their families and to 3 years. if i go home and they can't leave again, is that isn't how it works. it's late, it seems much 2020 at the start of coverage. this restriction on citizens and permanent residents being able to leave and they have to apply for an exemption. what's changing until now there's been an automatic

exemption. the people who ordinarily leave overseas. so you come back and you ordinarily say you can leave it automatically get an exemption. now you have to go into the administrative prices and you may or may not get an exemption delay began . so dramatically raises the stakes are coming back because you may be trapped, you may not be able to leave as an australian citizen, permanent resident, once you've come back, right? so is this to try and disincentive eyes australians from going home? is that, is that the point of this? because i know a lot of astray lands who i know living outside of a straight ia simply can't get home anyway. yes. if you read the explanatory statement, it's administered direction, so it's not a piece of legislation made under the act. and that's accompanied by an explanatory statement. and that makes it quite clear that exactly as you say, it's a difference in ok. you know,

it's designed to make it less attractive to come back. sure. what does that mean to people say who might have on the well or even dying, relatives at home and a trailer or other emergencies that they need to get back for once the level that you have to prove to be able to get this exemption, which as you say there is no guarantee of well, the, the trouble keep seeing it was the change does it, it doesn't make it harder to get back. but again, it makes it harder to if you're in a straight and makes it harder to get once you come back, it makes it harder to then, you know, re unite your job or your family or whatever it is you left overseas to come back to your you know, what's your threshold then for being able to lean towards training? what's the threshold for being able to lose again, what have you got to prove? well, i mean, part of the problem is that, you know, the automatic exemptions are people ordinarily resin overseas. at least on paper

seems relatively clear and the actual administrative exemption process that you have to apply for always incredibly pike. and we have very little data about the bases on which people are being successful, unsuccessful. so it really, it's, it's a very nerve wracking decision to have to mike. now you come back because it's not a toll transparent or evident on what places she'll be leaving. ok, just very quickly. finally, how do it's trading and feel about not being able to leave without an exemption? the question, outside my expertise, what i would say just briefly in closing the saying one successful legal challenge really ban. and that went to the 4th quarter, the court. but that only rights, certain issues and so there are other issues that can be guided is the problem is

that it doesn't ship at a legal status doesn't mean a right to enter a reminder to leave your own country. i mean, it's very hard to see what content the legal status is got, and some of the arguments proceed from that by show, having to litigate to, to be able to leave your country. hey, thank you very much for your time. right? no, wait, there a constitutional expert. thank you. let's get an update on the weather now. his cholera. hello there. we've seen intense heat across parts of europe and northern areas of africa, and that's edged into much of an event. bringing temperature is above average in syria, in iraq as well as iran and q weight. and as we go into the next few days, we are going to see temperatures at pick up across the gulf states. it's further south of that. things are looking cooler. we've got a southerly wind kicking in across yemen, an oman, and that is keeping temperatures down. we're also seeing a few showers across western areas of yemen, edging up into southern areas of saudi arabia. and these join up with the biggest
