leader from jos gen province. as the government here looks to see what they can do to push the telephone back out of the city. now that is not the only place where there is heavy fighting. there is strikes and a lot of gunfire in the cities of kansas city, herat, and also lash cargo in home. and my son is formerly an african diplomat. he says, while the taliban is not on the verge of taking over the country, they could be on a path to doing that. it will very much depend on what tony been thinking. and what about strategy is it to take as many at credential capitals and as much terry as possible, or at school for the juggler into april cobble at the end of the larger cities in full control of the country. i. my view is that it's all about also know how much weight and how much power they had and be maybe engaged in some

kind of reinforcement of the political leverage. meaning that you want to gain as much as possible in order to use that. sure to never later, i didn't negotiating table. if you go back to even longer to 2010, i remember that the americans and all edge and others are trying to find a political solution on is done. it's been a very long war. all styles are tired, i am sure, even though it's all about me feel the tendency. but at this point, there has to be some pressure brought upon both to call upon as well as pressure on cobble to be ready to compromise in and be ready to agree to terms that maybe may not be suitable to mr. honey. but for the sake of the country they may have to i need to something that is agreeable to most. ringback africa, and can, can end the war in the carnage and put a stop back on

a peaceful track. thousands of people in thailand have taken part in anti government protest in bangkok, calling the prime minister to resign. now, in addition to the demands for political reform protest as an angry at the government response to the most severe wave of corona virus cases, florence louis has the latest i have to sign cove at 19 restrictions on gathering and t government. demonstrators faced off with police just 500 meters from the prime minister residence in bangkok. police fire tear gas and rubber bullets, but said it was in retaliation to protest is throwing fire crackers and other objects at the police. have been doing a strictly follow up fil is at major abilene operations based on domestic law and into that the lot that goes down, dead protested,

had gathered around victory monument on their bike earlier on saturday afternoon. a youth lead protest smoothman for democracy rose up last year. but last momentum often increase in proven 19 cases and the rest of several protest leaders. but people are once again protesting, angered by the government handling of the pandemic. people are out on the street because they are suffering. the government shut down the economy, but we didn't get any kind of compensation from the government to opt out. i mean, it's just, you must leave. right now. people need a good vaccine. we see people die every day. people have to fend for themselves because the government can't help much. tyler has been reporting record highs in new infections and death is this week. it's vaccination campaign has been sluggish . the protesters are also calling for part of the budget for the monarchy and the military to be redirected to fight the corona virus search in the country. florence

louis al jazeera, now tens of thousands of people in france, of joint protest against the new cobit 19 health pass. from monday they will need the pass to get into cinema's, restaurant bars and other public places. opponent say it's an infringement on this civil liberty, france is constitutional court ruled the pass code largely compliance with the republics bounding charter. the french president emanuel mccomb hopes, the you will encourage people forget vaccinated and elizabeth moutain is a french journalist. she says the new measures do appear to be universally disliked . you got tell you extreme right wings warranty axes. you've got left wingers who are against the attempts your tax against a limited and who also coalescing the kind of a position that the french atom mind left cannot create. it's sort of outside the traditional differing bolt is that if the government has completed them, that would be an event proven. i think that's wilful. they hope that is their hope

. they're not seeing the demonstration that it is not working. but so they have dr . young when they say that the meshes president nicole has introduced and they'll be introduced or being considered in every countries, most notably in the united states in germany. that they all necessary. but there's more of them that you have measures. and that's the fact that my call is now facing a difficult reelection in next year. and does unrest of people who really would like to see the phone because she sort of diminished the part played by traditional the additions traditional vault. is that the way the, the opposition would express itself on both sides? turn your attention to the united states where the weekly average for new daily infections has gone above $100000.00 for the 1st time since cases surged during the winter months. the number of people going into hospital is also rising. fast

infections are particularly bad in the southern states, including florida, where hospitals describing overrun with patients. vaccination rates are lowest in those states. my kind of reports now from washington. the correlation between vaccination and hospitalization is very stock. health officials have pointed out that those who are vaccinated may still contract the virus about the consequences are far less severe than they are. those who are not vaccinated. you do have some states where previously governors would not come out and open support vaccinations. this absolute search and infection has changed their minds that would appear. so there is a push to try and get the fax the nation rate up. but there still remains, particularly with regard to a mosque mandate, which many experts and arguing is absolutely crucial to get that vaccination rate up. there's massive differences that the southern states completely opposed to the

wearing of mass. other states, particularly in the east now might have become mandated again. so there's a different way in dealing with the virus. there's no direct federal approach with regard to mosque mitigation. although in all federal properties, it is a mosque mandate, but the political divisions are directly leading into an increase in the infection rate. and most importantly, an increase in the rate of hospitalization. and certainly this is a massive swing around from just 3 weeks ago when it appeared throughout the united states. that the virus was being dealt with adequately. a 6 day mass, kirby vaccination drives on the way in bangladesh. the government has set a goal of not killing 3200000 people above the age of 25. in mainly rural and regional areas. and plans also to start offering jobs to ringo refugees. by early next week the relation campaign. there has been one of the slowest in south asia, bangladesh is struggling to contain an outbreak of the delta variant,

and it's extended a lockdown until next week to be a child who is in deca 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 adjuster later hospital. the line has been like since morning it's been organized like the other place. paper has 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 now since february about $14000000.00 people got vaccinated, some of them still didn't get the 2nd job. now that's about 3 percent of the population of $165000000.00. then over the government grants shot of. 1 india and supply chart bunger that you're saying vaccine 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 filtration 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 is all related 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're waiting in line to get vaccinated still ahead here on al jazeera venezuela's economic crisis will tell you about the big gamble, the government's taking, to get people to use the local currency again. plus, i'm curious, i'm all in the town of nick oakley in columbia, where it's thousands of people are stranded in direct him to migrate to north america. ah,

ah, the me looking back something and help so i saw it so far today the taliban saying it's captured a 2nd provincial capital. after weeks of fighting and ship a gun, the government is sending reinforcements and conducting as strikes to try to re take control. protest as in thailand have been having a face off with the police in the capital. bangkok they're demanding the resignation of the prime minister and according to the performs of the monarchy. tens of thousands of people in france of joint protest against new cubic 19 health passed from monday, the only the past get into most public places. mona,

their nutrition needs are being neglected. children, especially in the last to go. that's a place where polio on them are on their shots and they're paying a heavy, heavy prime. since the beginning of the year, 460 children have been killed. a 1200 have been injured. and this situation is happening across the country, the violence months for us to be able to reach them on time. pregnant mothers into the street, i says, is one of the key issue that we're working with to try to get to get access. but without it, without access to the conflicts needs to stop the violence to stop. because right now as i see, there are still troubles severed in and there is no way for us to be able to reach that place. and the number of places like best is building go every day from the

north to the west, to zones in the south. most of august and now is becoming extremely difficult and challenging for you to be there in time. and we need to be there. otherwise, the women and children are going to pay a heavy price. there have been mass evacuations. north of athens as wildfires tear through the vast areas of pine forest and get closer to the great capital. thousands of people have now fled their homes, while others have been fighting to put out the flames. in basra reports now from northern athens, the to know where the fires are and where they are going. greeks look to the sky in a worrying sign. helicopters have been getting closer to major towns and cities on the ground. this is what the business of fighting fires looks like. holding back, the inevitability of mother nature's fury is dangerous and exhausting work. right

party from november's presidential election. citizens for freedom is accused of violating election laws. it's the latest move in the correct them by president daniel or take us government in venezuela, the us dollar is fast becoming the currency of choice for those who can get it. the local currency has been made effectively worthless because of hyperinflation. now the government's come out with a plan to try and fix that is our latin america editor, the sea, and human. 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, we'll leave our 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 fit. i want to come at the boulevards. 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, initial frame, but also been 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 rican versions of the currency. the socialist government flashed 3 zeros from its currency in 2008 and 5 zero's 2018. so till he look

here 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 layla has been printing its worst economic crisis in history, reducing bills to single double or triple digit denominations, rather than millions would certainly make prices easier to calculate. but unfortunately, it won't make the embattled believer more valuable. she and human al jazeera ah, updating your top story. so fall here analysis here at the taliban says it's captured a 2nd provincial capital after weeks of fighting and show begun. the government's ending reinforcements and conducting as drugs to try to re take control.
