megan elephant disappeared. i have many of the excitement to my brazen example. i've seen the men who so football. just you know, if you want to help save the world, leads into your elbow. in the this is al jazeera. ah. hi there. i'm kim vanelle. you're watching the news on the line from coming up. the telephone says it's captured and now the african provincial capital of government forces. and since they haven't lost all control of the city, the gas and arrests in the tie capital protest is a calling for reforms. and the prime minister's resignation,

turkey and greece abandoning wildfires night and day in some places dangerously close to residential areas. and 2 people are arrested in new york accused of falling to injure or kill me. and martha bassett, the un who opposes been treated. and i'm far as small, have all the action from the tokyo olympics, where no ways yaki a bert stand has become the 1st runner from europe to win the mountains 1500 meters . and at 130 year. ah, the telephone says it's taking control of a 2nd afghan provincial capital hours after the un was warned, the conflict has reached a dangerous turning point. a video from ship again city. this is that here that's in the northern province of giles, john, suggest telephone fight has have ceased, buildings including the police headquarters and the prison. the african government,

however denies losing all control of the city. on fridays around 50 in the cell fell with what was described as initial resistance. pictures, posted online, appeared to show captured military vehicles, being driven through the street flying tele bombs, flags. and on friday, the us special envoy for going to san pleaded with security council members to intervene. we have an opportunity, an opportunity to demonstrate the commitment of the un security council and the regional and international community that you represent to prevent galveston from descending into a situation of catastrophe. so serious that it would have few if any parallels in this century, which all balances lie for us. now, in kabul, charlotte, a 2nd provincial capital ship, a gun in the north,

has apparently been taken over. what more do we know? well, a local source affiliated with the government has told us that sure the gun has fallen to the taliban, although it is quite new in fluid. the color bomb put out a statement saying that they have taken the city to show the gun and therefore, the province of jose, john and the north. they said that this happened early this afternoon when they got the police district offices. the intelligence office is the governor's compound, they even rated the prison and released a number of prisoners, although the government is denying that they have full control of the city. we do understand, there are some security forces at the airport, and the ministry of interior tells us that they will be launching a counter offensive that they are sending and reinforcements. special forces that they have started, it strikes and they do plan to begin a counter offensive to try to take back the city. not incredibly worrying for the government as this is the 2nd provincial capital to food and gonna stop in just 2

days to put that into context. the last time a provincial capital fell with condos briefly and 2015. so to have to for when 2 days is incredibly significant. earlier we will with the interior minister, he based off of this news with developing and rushed to see the defense minister. he being had a meeting with president ghani, much from dawson, who's a leader in jos. jon. he had a meeting with president connie this afternoon also. so the leaders here in cobb was trying to figure out what to do in order to ensure that they tried to take this city back. shall i wonder if you can give us the sort of fit rip of the situation, the rest of the country. but also wondering why it is that afghan forces have been left so ill equipped by the government. i mean, the government sort of painting itself is the victim here. but why is it that, you know, as we've been saying, their forces seem to just withdraw as the taliban advances?

well, there's a lot going on. so $34.00 provinces and the taliban are heading them in multiple places. the 2nd and 3rd biggest city and i've got a song can to ha, city and herat that been on the have yawns law for about a week now. then lash, got home and in the south, that's probably been the apc into fighting with a lot of be a strikes from the americans and the african street to street fighting with commanders and the telephone, the situation. they're actually getting quite dias, the civilians. we haven't been able to leave their homes in a week. the hospital in that town called emergency, it's on the main ones, just put out a statement saying, where is she getting incredibly concerned about the security and safety of our own staff and patient. so there is a lot going on and i think the, the security forces almost like whack a mole, trying to keep up with where the telephone hitting them and then the telephone and also have control of a lot of room areas. they've taken over more than half the country,

a lot of that is rule areas and a lot of that and involves the roads or for the security forces to resupply in the cities. a lot of it has to come in by, which is a massive disadvantage, not being able to transport and ammunition, supplies, and personnel to, to back up these forces. right, thank you very much for that child, bella. there live for us in cobble tie. police have fire, water, cannon, tear gas and rubber bullets. it's anti government protest is in bangkok, the crowds marched woods, an army base which is home to the prime minister's residence, demanding his resignation of what they say is his failure. to handle the pandemic, some through rocks, bottles and fireworks, and offices the band router, you was led by a student group, which was part of the monarchy and military budgets to be redirected to fight and coven 19. well, let's bring in frank hon. she who is a journalist by based in bangkok,

thank you for your time. just tell us how do these protest differ now from what we've seen. in recent months, mr. ministration to re re mentation to the mom because the protest stated on election at half of seats in the parliament was appointed by talent. prime minister by actually this is not the last thing fuse, but the last thing to move for a party in february 2020 was solved by constitutional courts. actually the difference between today's quarter and the port has before is but backs nation public policy. that wrong best thing. nation policy really irritates citizens in thailand, according to the governments locally made a sort of thing which would be provided $10000000.00 doses among things july. this year, but the government would receive 5000000 doses in july. although china also provides

more than 6000000 doses of sin of act. it is not enough for every highland citizens to get the job title and government has secure contracts for $105000000.00 could be 19 doses to be delivered this year now only almost 20 percent, a pilot residence around 19000000 people. eli scott mixing in 241. those came ok so so people are angry about the coven, 19 response on top of other grievances. tell me about what people risk by protesting. especially if they are critical vocally, or the monarchy. actually this is a really sensitive topic in thailand because of section 112 in the entire line is really call people. and if suffocates that, they are both and actually people talk about the monarchy show and talk about the

round explanation policy to emit july elite later issued in september lexia by any called to tiling governments. the company said they only supply 6000000 doses to type telling government filing government say that they will receive 10000000 doses to a citizens. and we'll repeat assault thing about $61000000.00 at the end of this year. an invalid for actually as of instruct, also recommended selling governments to procure more vaccines from callbacks, but the current government is too expensive to protect those stock money back thing. however, due to lack of fact, thing, talent just promised to join callbacks again last month. ok. how has. 9 the government, how is the prime minister then responded to people's concerns about the covert policy, the vaccination roll out,

and also to these protests to the boxing nation. busy for me, so it's almost always competent to say that we have, we have about 10 back things and telling talents, defense we'll, we'll get vaccinated soon. actually before the 31st october tenants prime minister promised to open the opened to tourist for them, for him to come in to secure the palace sort of tourism industry. but actually to the protests, they always say that it's, it's their city and thailand, this country of compromise. right now i see actually telling cities and it's really difficult to get back to get back to things because actually the government opened up to brian station to fall back the nation in

thailand. but they didn't use a mob technology for q all people, but they just some people to want to bring the station to go back to me. so every day south of thousands of people gathered in front of station to their back to me to, to without soul show different things really dangerous as well. of course, i thank you very much for your time. for con, she, there are journalist based in bangkok. thank you. to turkey where tens of thousands of hector of forests have now been destroyed and wildfires living described as the worst and decades. at least 36000 people have been displaced from their homes in the southern province of moolah, where there are a tourist results. results, joins us now live from ident province, where, so just bring us up to speed with the latest there where you are. well there has been 225. why?

5 report to see more and more than a week, and 2 am, but it's one of them by now are under the control, but there are 5 active fires that are feel burning in fire in fire, in 2 provinces, moolah either know, or the most active provinces that are still suffering from the blades is the good news is that you know, that which was one of the worst kidd, proven of turkey. the station is remarkable, there still, but the good news is that the long expected rain finally has arrived today. it seems that the weather for forecast says that the particular that the evening time, good or wish and also my now got which are the the most was seated places by the wife. i will receive more and more rain with that is the good news for the, for the country and the minister of foreign affairs who himself is also per month

says that all the wildfires in the province had been brought under the control. however, here where we are in the province of i, then it's really difficult to give that good news because right behind me, you can see that a, just a new fire broke out there. and this is ben generously approaching to the village of october, which is just in front of us and that, that the security forces are it creating people here. and they are blocking the roads for one team. people to go get to get back to their homes of other people because once to get back to their homes, because they still hope that they will be able to save their stuff. the situation is quite tough here due to the change in when it's quite unpredictable. what the next hour are going to bring to us. but here we can see that the 2 had to cope. there's or loading their bomb,

the buckets over there from an artificial lake, which is fed by the remarks by the volunteers here and taken that water and dropping it on the wood a piece here. but the winds and the strong winds, the ceiling hid the low humidity as really ham putting their force here. the international support is putting in the companies for russia to be john iran. ukraine question answer pay in the already sent the 5 right thing to corporate planes. and now, because i can understand in 2 more adequate, there's 2 more how to cope. there's also coming from the usa, which are going to arrive on monday. israel also yesterday sent to fire fighting. i'm a is, but as i said, due to the changing weather conditions here, it's quite tough, quite difficult to predict. thank you for that update. we're still in iden. problems in neighboring greece. they've been massive accusations. north of athens,

as wildfires tear through vast areas of pine forest and get closer to the greek capital, thousands of people have slid their homes while others have been fighting to put out the things. all that a 1005 and 15 aircraft battling and photos across greece with reinforcements arriving from other parts of the heavy rain has caused more flooding. and through dawn, 90000 people have not been affected by the deluge. most of them are in i old sand canal and john les state. this is the 2nd time since may through dawn has experienced widespread flooding. the un has called for urgent assistance. thank shelter, medicine and access to clean water is needed to south sudan. now where there are reports of fighting between the vice president, allies and rivals. on friday there were reports rec. michelle had been deposed his head of his party and fell through dan's forces. but his supporters deny that say

he is still in control. president self care and michelle are formed a fragile unity government last year of use of conflicts that killed hundreds of thousands of people or has the more of what come this hour more than $3000000.00 vaccination in 3, sorry, 6 days and the dash bishop called dante talk i'm very subtle in the town of nick oakley in columbia worth thousands of people are stranded and directed to migrate to north america. and in for kevin durham makes us fight basketball history as a guide his team to go in a 6 day mass covert vaccination drive is underway in bangladesh. the government has set a goal of an occupation, 3200000 people above the age of 25. in mainly rural and regional areas, and

a plan to start offering jobs to rank refugees. by early next week, the inoculation campaign there has been one of the slowest in south asia. bangladesh is struggling to contain a delta outbreak can, has extended a lockdown until next week. have a child re isn't dock up with more. 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 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, vaccine from china, us and says, and not a planted to go at least 3200000 people within next one week the idea was to vaccinate 10000000 people. but the filtration of logistic in the rural area was challenging because many people don't have access to internet or compared to register online in order to able to go to the hospital. so the government setting up in mobile clinic on going door to door and it was already as in order to get this paper vaccinated. and i've been, yes people are doing it online and they come with the form in here. and then they wait in line to get vaccinated. parts of libya have entered another full, locked down in an attempt to cut the spread of corona virus. the capital tripoli is one of several areas now under the restrictions. it's a 3rd time such measures have been imposed since the start of the covered 19

pandemic. the government has received 2000000 doses of china, photo fall vaccine to speed up its campaign. in the us, the weekly average for new daily infections has gone above 100000 for the 1st time since cases. 3rd, during the winter, the number of people going to hospital is also rising. fast infections are particularly bad in southern states, including florida. my hospital describe being overrun with patients. vaccination rates are the lowest in those states. my can join us now live from washington dc. mike, so just run us through the numbers. well, the numbers are ripping in the past 2 weeks. the lower than the incidence of cases has driven by some 50 percent and a large number of states topping out now over 100000 patients every single day. and these are figures that were last seen back in january, february, and they are being driven very clearly by the delta variant of code 19 in

a city like new york. for example, health officials say that over 80 percent of new cases being recorded, there are due to the delta vary and so we are seeing a new search in the number of cases. this is a time just a few weeks off. the people had thought that its face to each restaurant to face to go mosque lists if you are vaccinated, but that's the other point. the rate affects the nation. well, some 60 percent of us citizens are vaccinated, but 40 percent on not most of these 40 percent in the southern states. and there's a direct correlation between the consequences of getting the virus if you are vaccinated. and if you are not, the chances of recovery are substantially higher vaccinated people. all statistics now show. there has been a slight surgeon vaccination rates over the past week. but certainly, unless there is a greater surgeon vaccination rates, not only is the infection likely to go even higher as the autumn approaches,

but also the consequences of getting the the, the cobra 19 would be worse. mike, you mentioned that there, but i'm wondering if you can explain a little bit more for our view as about the sort of obvious differences between states based on those vaccination rates. well, precisely, there is a direct correlation between the rate at which infections are spreading and the number of people that are vaccinated. let me just take one example. florida, for example, that is accounting at the moment for one of all new infections in the united states . but the governor of florida run de santis continues to insist that that can be no mosque mandate. in fact, he has issued an executive order for bidding local counties from introducing a mosque mandate. he still supports facts to nations, but the whole attitude from the governor is at the wearing of mos,

for example. other mediating measures an individual choice and not a choice of federal government or the state. but this, despite the fact that florida is seeing this massive surge of the southern states as well, where they are low vaccination rates, they are seeing similar searches. but once again, to get back to florida, what you're seeing there is not only a massive rate of infection, but a massive rate of hospitalization. this is a direct consequence of insufficient people being vaccinated. an indication that most of those who are getting severely ill on the contracting the virus all not vaccinated. my kind of in washington d. c. thank you. argentine it is relaxing. corona, virus restrictions and reopening schools. total registered cases there have past 5000000 government says infection and death rates have been dropping steadily for 2 months and hoping that relaxing restrictions will help the economy bounce back and

grow by as much as 7 percent this year. there are more protest is in paris who are protesting against a french covered 19 how fast that's being introduced. these live pictures, as you can tell, people will need this past to get to finish his restaurant bars and other public places. opponent said and fringes on this civil liberties. frances constitutional court ruled on the past largely compliance with the republics founding charter to people from me in law has been arrested. accused of planning to attack the country's un bassett, a co, more tune who was appointed by the deposed civilian government has openly criticize the military june to seize power. in february, the un still considered him to be made miles official envoy, even though the general fired him prosecuted say to men who live in new york plans to either injure or kill the ambassador. phil robertson is the deputy director of

human rights watch in the asia division. he joins us live by scott from boston. thank you for your time. what was your initial reaction when you heard about this plot? well, what the slot really shows is the brutal rights abusing and law violating orientation of this be on more military. it shows that the student does for more than willing to run roughshod over international norms and basically do anything to stay in power. yeah. do you think this is partly also sending a message? should the general is wanting to send a warning? i guess, to anyone who is critical no matter where they are? well, i certainly think that they see drama don't. as the ambassador in the u. n as a major problem for them. you know, he occupies a very important seats in the u. n. you know, we and other groups are busy. they're trying to push resolutions for an international arms in barstow and for target and economic sanctions. and he's the linchpin of any effort by the military to push back it back against that. and they

can't do that because he has gone over to the other side. and so they're desperate to do something to get rid of him. and it shows that they were willing to consider killing him. do you think this well, in any way, damp and down, vocal opposition abroad? critics abroad? you know, this is obviously a very real threat. i think it will inflame people's reaction against the military going to and i think it will also backfire against the military junta in its efforts to try to gain any sort of international legitimacy. quite clearly, governments around the world have to make a decision in september about whether they're going to allow johnwooten to continue to occupy that see that the un and, and this plot against him is certainly going to be part of the considerations that they're looking at when they're thinking about that, that, you know, somebody could be assassinated for their political views because they're in their

official position as ambassador in the u. n. i think certainly other ambassadors will be thinking long and hard about what kind of government would consider doing such a thing. meanwhile, human rights watch has documented what seems like numerous crimes against humanity . what more can you tell us on that inside the country? well, it's now been 6 months since the february, 1st qu, quite clearly. there is a pattern of abuses that are systematic and wide spread across the country involving murder involving torture, detention involving other international crimes that we think the military who should be held accountable for. that's why we have pressed the un security council to take action to refer the military actions to the international criminal court. but so far were stymied like everybody else because of the opposition of russia and china to any sort of substantive action against the military hunter. all right,

thank you for your time. phil. phil robertson, they're the deputy director of human rights watches, asia division. thank you for the un security council has discussed last week's attack on an oil tanker. the u. k says the evidence is clear comp that iran was responsible, which it denies. 2 crew members were killed in the pound drone attack on an as rainy managed vessel off the coast of obama. the u. s. g 7 foreign ministers also back israel's assertions that iran was responsible on thursday. israel's defense minister threatened to use force against iran. the u. 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 found that accusation of israel on the mercy of vessel incidence. as we have written in our recent letter to the county president, there is really a gene can not whitewash 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 key much more to come on the news. aw, how reco, temperatures and central asia, turning phones into graveyards and kobuck stone. and his wife is economic crisis will tell you about a big gamble,
