i for the 1st time since the withdrawal of us and nato troops, taliban of captured a provincial capital, their finances shares images of themselves at the airport. and the entrance to the city of serrano shows, the capital of minerals, minerals, province in the size. they're also making gains elsewhere. afghan official say the group know controls most of lush car, gar, as the capital of helmets, province in a major city, or it's from. i forget sir. james bass begins a coverage from couple. this is significance around the 1st provincial capital, enough kind of stuff 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 shots 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 brough who to surrender. he released this 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 monopoly was shot dead. the taliban say they carried out that attack and in the north of the country in giles june, province, there and the provincial capital, the taliban say they taken control of the palace of the veteran commander of the

rescue. dost him in the provincial capital of helmand, laska gar battles continue. so the taliban now have taken one provincial capital and to a teetering on the edge. while in the last few hours, the un security council convenes a special session to address the escalating violence which is killed, swore them $1000.00 civilians, and past month alone, his christian salumi reporting from new york thing. the country is at a dangerous turning point. the un special representative for afghanistan called on the security council to act and act quickly 1st by demanding an end to taliban attacks against cities to attack urban areas is to knowingly inflict enormous harm and cause massive civilian casualties. nonetheless, the threatening of large urban areas appears to be a strategic decision by the taliban,

who have accepted the likely carnage that will ensue. russia said the emphasis should be on restarting stalled political talks between the afghan government and the taliban. achieved the still william lewis shaking guns. it is clear that there is no military solution to the afghans situation, but in the current situation, given the absence of progress on the negotiation track with the prospects of afghanistan slipping into full scale and protracted civil war. unfortunately is a stark reality. the united states whose withdrawal of forces precipitated the escalation, put the focus on the taliban. the taliban must hear from the international community that we will not accept military take over that began a stan, or return of the taliban islamic emerett. in addition to the worsening humanitarian situation, many speakers described grave human rights abuses from summary executions to the flooring of children with women. at particular risk, afghanistan's ambassador told the council that their own report suggests more than

20 foreign terrorist groups, including al qaeda, are operating in afghanistan. let's not forget that. these fighters are there for a reason for reciprocity. they will be demand. they are, they are helping taliban today. tomorrow they will be demanding a favor from the taliban. so we, our, our concern is afghanistan. once again, if not prevented, turn into a terrorist hub. with more and more people fleeing afghanistan, the situation there is already affecting its neighbors and could stabilize the entire region, giving the security council grounds to act. another meeting on the us mission to get a status scheduled for september. but there's growing concern that will be too late . kristen salumi al jazeera, the united nation, at least $56.00 wild, far as a burning across greece. major blades, just north of athens,

helicopters dropping water from the air. you feel if you're a fire rescue teams trying to put out these places because they're simply so many that are darting many parts of north south in there are fires, burning and hot spots everywhere, all over this part of the city and fire rescue team as well is there your water drop teams are spread thin, huge slates the forest had been destroyed in the turkey's precedence as told its worst ever wildfires efforts to put the blazes events at an 11 stay their cross to playing a crucial role. bristol 3rd, or takes a look from above almost a decade ago when spaniel martine was an exchange student, turkey boost province. she had no idea. she will be flying planes over turkey, age and course line to have combat was by and i was here for then days living with our family. so i have many friends for all the

that al jazeera don, firefighters in the u. s. are also trying to stuff a region world farm from reaching the town of quincy in northern california. the fuko, dixie fowler has already destroyed much of the turn of greenville var started in mid july. it's the biggest active fire in the states. and the 3rd biggest in history, scientists say drought and climate change have made for explosive conditions. john henson has more the dixie fire has grown tremendously. it's now the largest wildfire in the united states, and it's gotten there fast on wednesday with the 8th largest wildfire in california . history on thursday, it was the 6 and by friday it was the 3rd and it's only about 35 percent contain. so after it burns up trees like this, it just moves on firefighters say it covers an area of a $175000.00 hector's. it's about 14 times the size of the city of san francisco.

and they tried to save property. that house behind me had the deck burned off, but firefighters managed to keep the fire away from the structure itself. but they say their top priority is preserving human life. we will switch to helping law enforcement evacuate in rescue some of those people. if that fire gets to that point, so we may be able to save your life, but that may be at the cost, saving your home. the air quality has changed dramatically. it's gone from an identifiable plume above the fire to a kind of hazy london fog. that's because the smoke has descended to the ground and that his cause danger is air quality. as far as 3 hours drive away in sacramento. fill a heads on al jazeera, tokyo will officially pass the limbic slack to paris on sunday. we'll hear what the french capital was planning for what it says is a new era of cost effective gains. plus,

i'm serious. i'm all in the town of nick oakley in columbia, where it's thousands of people are stranded and directed to migrate from north america. ah, ah, it's too late for the journey to winter sponsored by cattle airways. hello, good to see you. here's the pain. non stop rain has piled up in the indian state. that matter pradesh. it's all has to do with this batch of wet weather here. as a result, more than 1200 villages flooded out 6000 people had to be rescued in. it's also been impacting rochester, done as well. you know, people also waiting to be rescued in the indian state of what spain, goal, water logged roads. the capital kind of picks up more than a 100 millimeters of rain over the past 24 hours. and it has been aggressive rain through the baseband goal. the west coast of myanmar, over the past 24 hours,

we've seen about a 160 millimeters of rank. next we're going to southeast asia. we've got dry spells for malaysia and indonesia, but also storms coming and going as well. so i gotta keep this storm risk in there for bank of coachman city called them poor singapore and jakarta. on saturday we are tracking now tropical storm loop. it has it throws buckets of rain to se china, but it's steering toward the east and it's going to blankets high. want in very intense rain over the next few days, some areas could see about 500 millimeters. and also tropical storm marinate could just graze the eastern portion of tokyo just in time for the closing of the olympics. what and when the conditions on sunday sponsored call cut on airways. north korea. isolated and heavily sanction yet earning billions around the globe bureau. 39 is involved in everything

that makes money for korea. they carry different passwords, say, contacts, and the money this year. and it goes straight into the conferences. leadership a to park, people empower investigation, bureau, 39 cache for kim park. one on a, jesse. ah, ah, the me. this is all just a quick reminder. all the top stories for you this are the un has been born that have gone. the son is heading for catastrophe, so serious with a few. if any parallels this century, it comes with the taliban captured its 1st 50 provincial capitals, ranch to us and nato troops withdrew. at least 56 wild forest spreading across

greece. major place, just north of athens was forced to flee well, a neighbouring turkey, tens of thousands of factors of forest had been destroyed. and what president type heard on cold its worst effort, while far as far as in the us to try to stop california is biggest world, far from reaching the chain of quincy circle. dixie, florida has already destroyed much of the historic gold rush turn of greenville nicaragua was electoral tribunal has disqualified the main opposition party from taking part in the federal presidential election citizens for freedom. the last remaining opposition party allegedly violated electro election laws will 2 of the policies have previously fans the president, daniel ortega virtually unopposed, as he runs for a 4th consecutive term. farnsworth is vice president for the council of the

americas. he thinks west and paris need to do more to your free and fair elections in the correct i'm not sure what kind of an election you could even call it other than just the coronation of a president, who frankly has now created conditions where he can't lose it will be a vote that will be taken, but it won't be an actual action. i thank you for the elections were held in a free and fair way. there's a great chance that he would lose because the nicaragua, people are frankly sick and tired of his role is so corrupt. a capricious protesters have been thrown in jail and in some cases killed. and the president of showing no real desire to compromise or to negotiate. so i think there's also another element here too, and that was life rosario maria, who is the vice president of nicaragua and run in and of course on the same ticket . and there's a lot of speculation that she is really for one string here and really wants to

make sure that in fact he wins. because it's also her 2nd to continued power. and you know, as of age does its thing and takes its course. there is no guarantee that the presidents were taken will be around for eternity, and so she would presumably be the successor. so she wants to continue her own will as well. in fact, every time the us or europe announces sanctions the government, the vicar, we don't care and takes the next step. and in fact, just today, the united states announced another visa, a restriction on 50 more, nicaragua, not officials, and family members of nicaragua and officials. but that's been the problem because to this point, the actions that have been taken have primarily been designed to punish, but they've been relatively limited visa restrictions, travel restrictions. but at the end of the day, if ortega and maria don't want to travel to the united states to europe anyway, what good does the visa restriction do?

and they don't want to travel to the u. s. a. europe. so it's, it's a lot of symbolism there. i really think that the next steps are going to have to be much more significant. columbia and panama, se they will work together to stand the flow of thousands of migrants stranded at the border. around 10000 people from cuba, hazy and countries as far away as gone up. molly and toggle are stuck in the small border time of nicole creek. that is, a bowl is near the ferry terminal and explains the challenges facing people there. what went wrong is that there's not enough boats to take them all to the other side and the government on the other side just now. so they will be only allowing $200.00 people to cross because they declared what they say is a state of calamity. because of the amount of people that are crossing this part of the country, and that's why there's hundreds of people that are being friend. good. we know that only 200 people were allowed to cross, but they sold over a 1000 tickets only for today and more people are restricted to arrive. we're

seeing lots of children of pregnant women. many of them are telling us to be brought the little savings they had are now running out of money because they have to pay for food. they have to pay for a hotel or a place to sleep because they kind of stay here. we're just talking to a mother, for example, that explained to her 10 month old baby has their ria that she's concerned about the situation that they're in right now, because they have already spent all the money that she brought here, the flooring ministers from columbia and kind of my metrics today in order to try to find a solution to their ongoing crisis, they are now back on monday, they'll be having an operational meeting. the objective is to try to implement some, a face test page, whole words, panama, and later on the rest of central america, mexico and the us. and to establish a one point of entry in panama. provide assistance along the way, where we have seen so far with very little assistance from columbia authority,

we have not seen water distribution is extremely hot here, extremely humid. there's no bathrooms, water, and other sanitation items that people here desperately need. it's quite a bit what they say is that all this hardship is worth it, that they're willing to risk it all because they're trying to find a new life authorities in the u. s. arrested to me and more citizens for allegedly pulsing, to kill or injure me, and more, some baset of the night of nations. she moved to and had spoken against the military generator and the atrocities they've committed. se reynolds reports from washington, dc of justice department, has them in custody now they've been charged with conspiracy to injure or, or kill a foreign official on us soil. we know they are both me and more citizens. they are living. we're living in new york,

just north of new york city and they apparently hatch this plot according to the justice department, which says it has recorded tell of phone conversations between the 2 and a 3rd party talking about hiring attackers to, to go after the ambassador to injure him, try to force him to resign his position and then if he refused to do that, according to the complaint against the 2, they said they would have, he would have been killed. the ambassador would have been killed. one of the 2 men who is in custody now, use the wire transfer services over the internet to send $5000.00 to in furtherance of this alleged plot. now, the ambassador, as you mentioned, joe, joe mon, june, is actually a leftover from the previous elected re government of me and mar, which was overthrown by a military hunter. in february,

he is still on the job there in new york at the un, even though he's been fired by the one to because the us doesn't recognize this military government. now back to the 2 individuals who are in custody. if they are convicted, found guilty and convicted, they could face up to 5 years each in prison. israel says it's ready for an escalation on the lebanese border astern. exchange a far with has paula israels, are doing defense system interception. several walker far from 711 and any and back has been, says the barrage is in retaliation 1st through the air strikes which targeted southern lebanon the day earlier. you said the military, far back leave. the artillery say in a hotel has the leases from saki in southern lebanon. there is a cautious calm after a brief flare up of violence along the wall, a tile 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 the early thursday, israel retaliated to rocket fire with air strikes in the past to any retaliation along this border. they used to, you know, shell areas of, it's not air strikes, but i think there was also another message today. and the message was from iran via has beloved to israel a day or 2 after the israeli saying that we are able to directly, militarily engage with iran. so you ryan is saying that, well we have allies. c in the region, we are able to open a number of front one of those fronts of here in southern lebanon, especially since we had statements also from the palestinian group, hamas,

as well as the hotel in yemen. congratulating has bella 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. of the hemi, this in korea, mona, with the view from the israeli side of the border. what we're hearing really from the israeli leadership is the usual rational reg is reserved, it's right to respond whenever he's flipped. but we also do know that the defense minister been 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 militarily here in the

north of the country. but there is a realization that this border needs to stay calm, because whenever this border ignites well, you do also have another border in the south of the country to border with god that it also sometimes ignites at the same time. israel has just come out of a war, the cease fire dogs are still ongoing. so certainly maybe not a desire to go any further than that. but that said, this is a valley very volatile area. i think whatever happens, whatever will be incoming from level, i don't was certainly have a reaction, immediate reaction, just yes to the israel. israel uses air force for the 1st time in 7 years striking . yes. what it called rocket launcher sites inside lebanon, but probably it was empty field. they're not causing major damage, but certainly escalation, militarily and here,

unwanted new record. the price fact that he took care of games has officially topped $15000000000.00 and is expected to go even higher that already the most expensive some games ever staged. and more than half of the bill is being picked up by the japanese taxpayer olympic critic, se tokyo was onto a loser even before the extra costs of holding the gangs during a pandemic. and without the presence of spectators were taken into account, we can not get down our profit. and maybe just, we know to hold olympic games makes it only for the, for the new infrastructure for new national stadium or will be good. but the big problem is it's putting nothing for the people, games in the very heart of the city. the french capital is aiming to start a new era of cost effective olympics with most events being held at preexisting

venue organizes claim private money will account for 97 percent of the budget. the head of the parish organizing scene told me any new facilities are designed to have a lasting impact. we have in sun, southern year territory, which is very young, but very poor. so, and we will build quite a lot of facilities that will offer you put unity for people to do sports after the games we build also houses for this territory because there is a big need in terms of houses. so the legacy will be when they get the useful for the population. paris games hoping to prove it is possible to light the olympic flame without burning a hole in the public's pockets. and richardson al jazeera, tokyo, ah, this is al jazeera and these are the headlines.
