police and thailand and firing guns, that crowds protesting against the government? hamlet the pen, demick and demanding reform. and 2 people are arrested in new york accused of plotting to injure or kill mean mazda bass, and the un, the poses the military center. ah. so f dentistry festival where the taliban says it has captured a 2nd city in an intensifying campaign against the government in a statement beyond groups as it took control of ship it a gun capital of the northern province of jones. john, we do have this video suggesting taliban fighters seized several government buildings including the police headquarters in a prison, africa, and government denies the area has been captured. on saturday though, the taliban did take another provincial capital. this is angie. as the un security council was warned at the same time that this conflict has entered

a more destructive phase even reminiscent of syria that under the 1st city to fall to the taliban since the us and its partners began pulling out the loft of their forces out diplomatic to james spaces, covering developments from campbell. if the taliban claim is true, then it is the 2nd provincial capital to fallen in 2 days. this is in john john, it's in the north of afghanistan and the provincial capital ship reagan, that the taliban are saying they have control of all the main government buildings . they have control of the governance compounds. they have control of the police headquarters, the intelligence headquarters. we've seen pictures to tell about a posted of the prison and very much as they did 24 hours ago in the garage. if those pictures are genuine, they shows to tell about breaking into the prison in order to break out the prisoners. which of course included taliban fighters who then joined the battle in the ship regarding the government is being

a little bit quiet and what they're saying they confirmed that the police headquarters is in taliban top homes. that's a mit ministry of interior spokes person. and they say otherwise, the heavy fighting continues in chapter gun. certainly the taliban seemed confident in the claims. they put out a statement, a message to government employees in both numerous province and jo john province. so those, the provinces where these 2 provincial capitals are based, they say they've got control of those 2 in tar provinces. and the message to government workers is we are your brothers and you should return, you should not run away. meanwhile, at the you in new york, the security council heard that it cannot stand by, as i've got to stand things further towards catastrophe kristen, kristen salumi has a report. 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. mister william lewis shaking guns cuz 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 flogging 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 the reason for reciprocity. they will be demand. they are, they are hoping tyler one 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 be stabilize the

entire region, giving the security council grounds to act. another meeting on the us mission to afghanistan is scheduled for september, but there's growing concern that will be too late. christian salumi al jazeera, the united nations, onto the news, and police have been deployed in the ty capital where protested once again demanding government reform. in fact, life pitches for you from bank purchased as well, the king and the prime minister to be held accountable for the latest wave of the curve at 19 outbreak. remember, they have also been movement if you like anti monica movements or asking for reform of the monarchy. it's all sort of coming together in this sort of approach has we've heard that at least one person has been arrested. so thought that be the, the amount of gas increasing. now, as we're on it, we will keep an eye on these pictures for you and see if things do escalate further . in back

in on a fixed day mass vaccination drive is underway in bangladesh. the government is that a goal of inoculating 3200000 people above the age of 25 in many rural regional areas are also planned to start offering jobs to bring refugees by early next week . elation campaign in bangladesh has been one of the slowest in south asia. it is struggling to contain a delta outbreak and has extended locked down until next week, his temperature laundry. now in dhaka, let me give you some description where i'm at. i'm in doc i city in the morning i was in for mitchell hospital. this is just the labor hospital. the line has been like since morning it's been organized like the other place. people have been complaining, they've been waiting after getting stamped in their registration. each person are waiting like over an hour sometime in cases people are

a little bit and not know since february about 14000000 people got vaccinated, some of them still didn't get the 2nd job. now that's about 3 percent of the population of a $165000000.00. then over the government run shot of india and supply chart bang. as i said back to and from china, us, and all those photos and not a planted to go at least 3200000 people within next one week the idea was to vaccinate 10000000 people. but the situation of logistic in the rural area was challenging because many people don't have access to internet or computer to register online in order to able to go to the hospital. so the government setting up and mobile clinic on going door to door and it was already as in order to get this paper vaccinated and the people are doing it online and they come with the

form in here and then they wait in line to get vaccinated in the us, the weekly average for new daily infections is now gone above 800000. for the 1st time since cases surged during the winter, the number of people going to hospital is also rising fast infections, particularly bad in southern states, including florida, where hospitals describing overrun with patients. vaccination rates are lowest in those states. and large parts of libya have been put into another full lockdown. they include tripoli, the 3rd time. these sorts of measures have been imposed since the start of the pandemic. the government is received. 2000000 doses of china is fine if i'm vaccine to try to speed up the vaccinations. so let's talk to malik, trina, in miss ross her about this full lockdown. malik, can you explain what that will mean for the people of libya? well, it pretty much means that no one is allowed outside of their homes for the next 3 days. i can tell you that people here aren't really happy with this decision,

especially because there's a lack of power electricity. there's, we're looking at dealing with about power because 2 or 3 power coats on a daily basis ranging from 12 to 15 hours. it's extremely hot here. i think today it's about 34 degrees and it's a bit humid so it feels much harder than that. so without electricity, no air conditioning, people aren't happy that they're forced to stay indoors. well, this is happening now. libya has been witnessing this 3rd wave of a rising code with 1900 cases. there's been a partial curfew that's been effect for the last 2 weeks. so that means from businesses have been forced to close out from 6 pm to 6 am official say that had helped her the spread of the code with 1900 arise that was taking place in recent weeks. just to give you a few numbers on thursday,

1879 new cases were registered in the country when the total to 200 and almost 265000 cases with about 3689 debt. so libya has a really poor health sector, so they've had a really hard time coping with the pandemic. isolation center is very full. there isn't enough oxygen, oxygen to, to cope with the patients. so i think while, while the government is doing this walk down to, to stop the spread, many aren't really happy because there is a lack of basic services at the moment and vaccinations malik how they're going. i mentioned that there are 2000000 doses, a sign, a phone received by the government, but as, as it been a slow uptake sofa yeah. it's been a very slow uptake, and that's, that's in part because the government has, there's

a lack of credibility with, with the government, from people to the government. i mean, initially the government brought in doses of the russians, but nic vaccine. now people, when people began taking took the 1st job, they were told to come back in after 3 weeks, so they can get the 2nd job, but it's been months. and that 2nd, those haven't been made available to the public. so really there's a lack of credibility that the, the officials here, how can bring in new right the, the, the dos so that the general public can continue with the vaccination campaign. and i think also a lot of lot of people are waiting for, you know, the government has been saying for a couple months now that they're going to bring it, bring in with their pfizer, who's a lot of people waiting for what they believe or the better back, better vaccination or better vaccines. okay, thanks for those updates malik trainer on the current of our situation in libya. in

the news ahead, how record temperatures in central asia are turning funds into graveyard? this isn't count venezuela's economic crisis, the big gamble, the government is taking to get people using the local currency again. ah hello there. let's start in se, asia and there's more wet and windy weather on the way for northern areas of the philippines. not just because of the monsoon, but because of tropical storm loop it as it makes its way across taiwan towards japan, it's throwing some pow for winds around and we are seeing some flooding rains. we have got some flood advisories out from northern areas of the philippines. so by the time we get into monday, we'll see some sharp of thunderstorms. across manila, we've also got a bit of a weather system kicking some heavy rain into eastern areas of the philippines. we

could see some flooding here. elsewhere. the indo china, the monsoon rains, continue to inundate me and martin southern areas of thailand. and as we go into monday to malaysia, that sees some of that heavy rain. now when you move to australia, it's pretty dry and clear across the central areas. the weather weather is in the west. we've got a front moving in, and that's keeping things cool in perth. look what that does to the temperature over the next few days, we're going to dip right down below the average with some storms coming in by the time we get into tuesday. but for 7 areas, the sun will come through and things look rather settled. it's new zealand seeing the unsettled weather and we'll have plenty of snow dumped on central areas of the south island. the who's with a bag energy and change it to every part of our universe. or

small to continue the change all around the shape, my technology and human ingenuity. we can make it work for you and your business. ah, the me just take it to the top stories on the or the taliban says it's captured a 2nd city in an intensifying campaign against the african government. the groups as it took control of ship gun, the capital of the northern province of jose, john,

that the government denies this has happened. police have been deployed in the high capital purchases, once again out demand and government reform. and when the king, in the prime minister to be held accountable, the latest wave of the curve at 19 outbreak. mrc state mass vaccination, dr. begun and bangladesh, the government set a goal of inoculating 3200000 people about the age of 25. in many rural and regional area to people from me and i have been arrested accused of plotting to attack the countries un ambassador joe martin, who was appointed by the deposed civilian government as openly criticize the military gentle since it seized power. in february, march the u. n. actually still considered him to be me and my official envoy, you know, even though the generals fired him prosecute as i to many live in new york times to the injure or kill the ambassador for more on that situation. we spoke to debbie star who's the founder of san burma network of assay and organizations supporting

human rights and democracy and me. and now she says, this whole situation as town is not doing enough to addresses in april ivy and adopted a $55.00 consensus and claimed that this would be the blueprint for trying to achieve a peaceful resolution. and the rest of the world has been waiting for this plan to deliver. and it hasn't actually has been effective at all. and i think it's time for the security un security conferences, stephan, it's time for the rest of the world to actively turn around. this horrendous situation is in 6 months the military has launched 3000 attacks on many civilians and killed yet over a 1000 people, including children. i think it's time to stop this before it gets out of control. there's been too many compromises amongst individual states, but actually at the end is suffering a crisis of leadership as well as a region,

especially after it hit the region last year. so i think it's time we actually stopped wasting around 5 to act and started acting. now at un level, and i think we also need to understand that it's time for the credentials to commit to committee. when it meets in september next month to recognize the government that represents 76 percent of the elected members of parliament. the un security council has discussed last week's attack on an oil tanker in the middle east. the u . k says the evidence is korea cuts that iran was responsible to turn on still deny that 2 crew members were killed in the apparent drone attack on and israeli managed vessel off the coast of oman, the u. s. and g, 7 foreign ministers, also back israel assertions that iran was responsible. on thursdays rose defense minister threatened to use force against iran. you k knows that iran was responsible for this attack. we know it was deliberate and targeted

there is no justification for what happened. a state sanctioned attack on a civilian vessel, passing peacefully through international waters, tragically to civilians, a romanian and british citizen died as a result of a wrong disregard for international law. the category creed reject the unfounded accusation of israel on the mercy of vessel incidents. as we have written in our recent letter to the account, the president is really gene can not vice wash if the stabilizing practices and vicious policies by blaming and accusing others. this regime has been the main source of threat in establishing an insecurity in the region for over 7

the case. lithuanian president of the accused bill ruth of state sanctioned people trafficking. the thomas suit and told al jazeera, the undocumented migrants are being allowed to cross their shad border so they can into other e u countries via a few area. european unions is that the deliberate move in retaliation of sanctions . the details in this report from the backer of 500 kilometers of razor wire line. the eastern edge is the e. u. this is lithuanian border with bella. ruth, and these new defense is a response to the so called hybrid war ways by minsk against this e neighbor. a conflict where migrants from iraq, syria and other countries are being used as political weapons. the lit you a new government says minsk, is deliberately flying in people from abroad to send illegally into the european union in retaliation for you. sanctions against president? look a shank of leadership this year. more than 4000 people have entered lithuania from

11 days now. same bus robbie has more out from the capitals up when a neighborhood here in north athens where the sky, it's with dark black smoke, every direction you look in there seems to be black, smoke rising over neighborhood high into the sky. and that's because of situation like the houses have been burning for more than 24 hours now, much of these areas are still very much on fire and there are fewer and fewer helicopters dropping water from the air. you feel if you're a fire rescue teams trying to put out these blazes, it is very simply so many that are done in many parts of north off and there are fires, burning and hot spots everywhere, all over this part of the city and fire rescue team. as well as aerial water drop teams are spread thin and then neighboring turkey with tens of thousands of heck as a forest have been destroyed in their wildfires the being described as the worst in

decades at least 36000 people have been displaced from their homes in the southern province of mobile, where they are, a tourist resorts. now a heat wave in central asia is making a severe drought and catholics done even worse. gillian wolf reports, farmers are watching on hopelessly their animals die in record temperatures. the scorching heat has turned these arid fields into a mass grave site for one of catholic stones, most revered livestock, with a little grass left graze on the cost of hay and barley has skyrocketed. farmers have had to resort to using cardboard as food for their horses and even that is running out. one of the lender we had to 3 years of drought. the grass no grow. well, although it was not as bad as this year, but there is only black grass as we call it. animals left standing our weekend by

malnutrition, making them vulnerable to disease. because this is 1st, we have her hanging on ropes because there's no grass outside, nothing for her to eat. that's why without the ropes she cannot stand on her feet. she falls. here in manga style. hoarse maiden, milgar staples, of the cassock, diets surrounded by the caspian sea. the region is becoming more susceptible to drought. with rising global temperatures, causing steel levels to drop for the last 100 years to see has not reached its old maximum water level. there is an ebb and flow, but it is never reach the original level. last month, cause extern president issued a state of emergency, sacking is agricultural minister for failing to help farmers affected by the drought. low rainfall has left 90 percent of the nation's pasture, unable to support life. in areas like cars, like stan, when water problems become acute, not only do you get social disruption,

but they also become major national security issues because so many of the river basins a shed the water is shared. and so this is a problem that's not just an economic problem or a social cultural problem. it's also potentially a national security problem. and while forecasts say there will obviously be more rain and snow in the years ahead. for these farmers that isn't soon enough. joy wolf, alta 0 for good venezuela, where the us dollar is the currency of choice. if you can get hold of it. local money has been made effectively worthless by hyperinflation. so the government come out with a plan to try to fix. it's a latin america editor, the sea, and human has more just like you can't judge a book by its cover, you can't calculate the value of in israel as currency by the number of zeros that are added or subtracted as of october. first,

this 100 boulevard of note will be the highest denomination equivalent to today's 100000000 boulevard. note, that means 6 zeros will be removed from a currency that has been sold to valued by hyperinflation. that it's become practically worthless. comments. i thought this is only for the bus for the ball of us. now i run a useful for public transport or nothing else. everything else is paid with us dollars. when is when the currency costs much more to make than what it's worth? inflation in the 1st 4 months of this year was nearly 300 percent. and last year it was 3000 percent. that's why the country's de facto currency has become the us dollar. but millions of venezuelans don't have access to it. by slashing sick zeroes off its currency, the government hopes to reinstate the widespread use of its own coin. penis will bring back home and it has certain advantages. but these advantages don't generate

benefits from a strictly economic point of view, that would require a series of measures to control inflation. to avoid more recon versions of the currency, the socialist government flashed 3 zeros from its currency in 2008. and 5 zero's 2018. so deal he'll kill is not optimistic that 6 will do the trick. when i look at it, this is going to become what it's already become. as all the currents is here, because they have all become worth the saw, that is, willa has been exp, rinsing its worst. he can only crisis in history, reducing bills to single double or triple digit denominations, rather than millions will certainly make prices easier to calculate. but unfortunately, it won't make the embattled believer more valuable. see, and human al jazeera, couple more stories in brief, the messaging platform, whatsapp is criticized. apples plan to scan us iphones for images of child sexual
