i do believe that the security council and the broader international community can help prevent the most dire scenarios. but it will require acting in unity and acting quickly. the taliban made major gains on friday. pictures released by the arm grew, show its fighters near the airport in san jose to they captured that southern city . it is the 1st provincial capital to 4. in the months long taliban offensive. there's also been more fighting in another southern city. lush got a got which the taller bond is trying to capture. on top of the territorial gains, the total bond says they killed the afghan government top media offset our hon. menopause in cobble that follows the goose threat to start targeting afghan government officials in a mama will get more on the situation on the ground. the 1st let's go law to christian salumi who is standing by the united nations headquarters force. so

christian, that meeting on stand was wrapped up now. well, what was, what was the main takeaway? what we heard from the special representative for afghanistan to the united nations . deborah lyons and she painted a very bleak picture and said urgent action was needed on the part of the security council to avoid a very, very bad situation. getting even worse, she questioned the taliban commitment to a negotiated settlement, given the ongoing attacks on urban areas and the impact that that is having she talks about a 50 percent increase in civilian casualties are increasingly worse humanitarian situation with almost with more than half of the country in need of some sort of aid hospitals and some of these areas that are being attacked or at full capacity.

roads are being blocked, food can get in and human rights violations are also increasing exponentially, particularly an area is held by the taliban. we're hearing things like the summary executions, the flogging of children, child marriages, and so on. so from the special representative herself, civil society members, the afghan ambassador, who right now is speaking to members of the media outside the security council, painted a very grim situation and called on the international community to do something urgently. in order to prevent it, the afghan ambassador glen x is cause he said that afghanistan is at risk of reversing games made in recent years. hear what he had to say. millions of people are now vulnerable to indiscriminate, showing that injuries, distraction, and displacement. our cities and public infrastructure that we have rebuilt with

your support. over the past 2 decades are now exposed to unimaginable level of taliban destruction. it is our collective responsibility to stop them from destroying upon this done and threatening the world community. and the special representative laid out some very clear steps that the international community could take, that she said would help the situation, including a statement, an unimed big us statement, in her words, calling for an end to attacks on cities. she also said that countries who were in contact with the taliban political commission should tell the taliban that there should be a cease fire immediately. and reiterate the security council's position that any government imposed by force would not be recognized. and the council is now meeting behind closed doors to discuss these things even further. christian,

thanks for that christmas salumi at the united nations for now a diplomatic get. it's a james base is in car ball with more on the taller bonds, gaines. this is significance around the 1st provincial capital in afghanistan to fall into taliban control. these pictures released by the taliban ship fighters driving humvees and other vehicles paid for by the us and nato and taken from africa and forces the airport the only one in the desert province, as well as key government offices were captured, were told by eye witnesses with barely a short being fired. earlier the taliban fighters had broken into the prison breaking out detainees, which included some of their own fighters. they urged the governor abdul karim bro hooey to surrender. he released his video saying he would not. but just hours later, taliban fighters were filming themselves in his office. one of them is shouting,

you are a law. you said on facebook. the taliban would be unable to fight you. where are you? we've entered your office. the whereabouts now of the governor and other key provincial officials is not known. there been other important developments to cobble the deputy press secretary to president ghani and the head of the government media office dot com, the novel that was shot dead. the taliban say they carried out that attack and in the north of the country and giles, june, province their and the provincial capital, the taliban say they've taken control of the palace of the veteran commander of the rescue. dost him in the provincial capital of helmand, laska, ga battles continue. so the taliban now have taken one provincial capital and to a teetering on the edge. now fire fighter has become the 1st confound victim of the wildfires in greece,

which are continually across the country. the intense blazes, a force more evacuation is near the capital athens verified as a to stop the flames from reaching populated areas, the prime minister urging people to obey evacuations and not try to defend their own homes. famous robbie is following this for c is live in korea on area so same what is the latest movies for news today. but a far fighter of all your firefighters has been to wall trying to fight these places. and just to give you a sense of how serious situation is that you see the difference. active files that are ongoing at the moment. helicopter is still flying overhead, trying to draw water to many boxes they can. and we're seeing heavy vehicles, heavy firefighting vehicles roll in and out of pounds in areas down the hill.

here of the me there are small and large ra dotted all over the foothills, and fire and rescue food, as well as stereo water dropping aircraft. they're all very, very thin. and that is why you define minister kind of to miss people to obey medical evacuation order to place a premium on human life or not on property. but people are worried about their property. they're worried about not being able to see if their homes are worried that the officials in the forty's before wants to change enough to help save all of the homes that they need to know. the neighbors walked in the trauma, full phone form to help water simply playing a waiting game with a fire waiting for the last minute to go for safety. so we're seeing is really a race against time multiple races. time people trying to fight fires,

trying to push them back. but the fires simply, he's moving to different areas. doing cleo. nearly all day long police have been enforcing a mandatory evacuation keeping regular from returning, keeping anyone from getting in on orders held the fire department. and that is because what happens is there was a group of residents that were refusing to leave, even though fires were active in their neighborhood on their very streets. finally, they were convinced but until the fire rescue workers for the police to make sure that absolutely no one else for the route and because they didn't want to risk any more human life, especially since they were facing residents of the area to service. and even the end, they finally did connect them. the threat was serious enough things in korean areas . since that have stabilized, the fire is under control. but now south of here, back in very bobby where we were 2 days ago. the fire has re ignited for

a 2nd time in as many days. and we have another mandatory evacuation order just in the last hour, being issued by the government for people to evacuate. very bobby once more. yeah, certainly. sounds like a very challenging situation there for the authorities, but what, what efforts being made to stop defies spreading to population centers. well, it has to be said having, you're throwing everything the candidate. there's international help on the way the military is involved now. but the fact is that the best that people can do right now is obey those evacuation orders. and the government has become far more aggressive about issuing those evacuation orders. we were just in an area to find out the most populated part of this area in the north rock. and there was a mandatory evacuation order issued for their the st for nancy, but they're still were many people waiting for the last minute again,

believe not just because they wanted to protect the property. they said they had nowhere else. they didn't know what to do again. so everybody here including the government of civil professional authority, residence and civilians themselves, all really at a loss to try to cope with the intensity with the speed of the fire. so many people have been directly affected by the flames, indirectly the smoking pollution is at record levels. you can even through a mass, you can take the smoking and if you aren't breathing in the smoke, what's happening is that there are substitutions in these areas that are connected to the public power when it had to be shut down for safety reasons. because the fire was running into those areas. now we're seeing rolling blackouts affecting almost the entire region of the attic base and all of data rock and being effected by to our rolling blackouts and different spots at different times to the fire really is having direct and indirect impact on communities all over this area. and

the most that people can keep doing is continue to try to fight the far as best they can rescue workers are spread then, but evacuation orders right now are key to try to getting people to safety because they have to get people to feel the fire from the can't seem to contain the fire pick enough to keep it from getting too built up areas they miss robbie in korean. eric, thank legacy crews are continuing to battle. several wildfires that remain out of control in turkey opposition parties have criticized president. richard type ones, government for lack of preparedness, thought of can say, nearly 205 of the past 9 days. at least 8 people have been killed. tens of thousands of people including tourists, have had to move to say for areas. now efforts to put out the wildfires and now into their 10th day aircraft, including helicopters of playing a crucial role are corresponding russel sir dar takes a closer look for above the work being done. yeah,

casualties. the government says that television is relying on human shields and losing people, shops and homes for food and weapons. on the grounds, these ask and special forces march into battle chanting. we will punish them and long live as canister. the week they have arrived the way it is, even movie a fighting the tele bond street by street for the man who still these videos told us cuz family cannot leave their home because there is constant fighting on his street after one week stuck in size. they are running low on food, and his home is shaking with constant strikes. where worries and now we extremely we're, we know that's the big, big chunk of the relation has moved out of town. but we don't know exactly where

but for both the government and telephone tried to assert the control of the places, the people who home charlotte bellis out jazeera cobble, or israel's iron don't defense system has intercepted 10 rockets, far from southern lebanon. the byron sounded in northern israel and the occupied golan heights after they were fired. as bala has claimed, responsibility is responded with artillery strikes in southern lebanon. they know who has the latest, from able to suck in southern lebanon. 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, well, i was interested in any major escalation if you read has well, a statement that said that we targeted open areas around is really 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 early thursday, israel retaliated to rocket fire with air strikes in the past at 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 but love to israel a day or 2 after the israeli saying that we are able to directly, militarily engage with iran. iran is saying that, well, we have allies in the region. we are able to open a number of front. one of those fronts is here in southern lebanon, especially since we had statements also from the palestinian group, hamas as well as the 40s in yemen, congratulating hezbollah for what they have done. so really a message, 2 messages here has valesa. israel do not change the rules of engagement and iran

to israel to not start war unless you are on multiple fronts. i health officials in england say the levels of corona virus found in people infected with the delta variance are similar regardless of whether they've been vaccinated or not. this, they warn, may have implications for people's infectiousness, but added that more research is needed. data from hospital admissions, with the delta variance show 35 percent of patients were fully vaccinated and 55 percent were not inoculate to. that baba has more from london public health, england said on friday the latest analysis of people in hospital with the delta variant of the corona virus, which is clearly the dominant strain, nearly 99 percent of cases these recently. so they're saying the latest

studies they've done 5555 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 health, england is saying that they expected something like this, but 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 dataset was fairly small that numbers in the hundreds. another thing that they've said is that the, the only evidence shows that or indicates that quote levels of virus in those who become infected with delta, having already been vaccinated, maybe similar to levels found in on vaccinated people. they think that could have

implications for how infectious people are, but they're saying that this is early days that stressing caution on that as well. the philippines is dealing with a rise in covered 19 cases. more than 10 and a half 1000 cases and 247 deaths will recorded on friday. the country's capital manila is in lockdown for 2 weeks to try to prevent an outbreak of the delta vary and that has ravaged countries in the region. barnaby low reports, it is seen that philipino said who would not be repeated, but border controls are enforced for a 2nd time. a little more than a year around the philippines, economic center in manila, and people are being told to stay home for at least 2 weeks. there is no country that address the surge without going through a rigorous law. and the problem with most of the other countries,
