but sources tell us the cities have been lost and then those 2 regions in grey, in the north and the taliban claims to have taken those provincial capitals, chevron gun in judge young province and sought a pool as well. in the neighboring pro and the date has not was charlotte bellis reporting live from cobble? i know you've got a lot to get us through. go for a child that was sorry for your just talking about the taliban saying this morning that they had taken the city and the surrounding province. we've just got through to a local journalist for lines were down there and that person says that sorry. who has in fact, also fallen this morning to the taliban, but they are in all the main government buildings to taliban who put out a video of themselves entering the police compound in, sorry, paul, they've also just put out a video of themselves entering another city that wasn't on your map that place the telecom in provence and they had video of themselves entering the city, saying they will take that also. so very, very fast moving this morning,

entering all of the city and the nor condos, especially significant. that was the only city actually in the last 20 years that went to the telephone, fell in 2015, 2016 us special forces on the grounds and managed to push them out. so it has a way things kind of a center of fighting between the gulf and the taliban. so morale boost if you will, for the telephone to finally get it back that we know the government buildings about the telephone flag flying high in the center of the city. the prison is out and, and they are claiming control and b m o days saying that they are determined to get these places back. this goes with they've lost the southern province of minerals on friday. also jo, john, you were talking about the special forces coming late pacific telephone and all those places in the government building say also the government telling us that they do still have special forces at the airport and they are determined to come back. but of course, the government getting sprayed incredibly,

through vast areas of forest of region for 12 days. one of the and jerry in school girls kidnapped by an armed group 7 years ago has been reunited with her family. bruce, i'm glad the focus was among more than $200.00 students. abducted by book of her um, from a school in the northeast in town, she baldness was back in 24. change was any relief last week. over the years, many of the girls have been freed or rescued by them in a treatment more than a 100 is still missing. the leader has bla, has on the seller is warned. the lebanon based group will retaliate against any future as strikes by israel. his comments follow an exchange of fire between has below and the israeli army. 50 their strikes were the 1st targeting lebanese villages since the war back in 2006. and how that man had hit emily. yesterday's operation was not in response to the killing about 2 members. we are not seeking a war, but we are ready for it and we do not fear it. yesterday's operation was aimed at

consolidating the equation of deterrents. chose to carry out the operation during the day in order not to scare the lebanese residence. and our response yesterday was directly linked to the israeli as strikes and its object. it was clear, it was necessary for the response to be israeli strike to be quick, or else i would have lost its value. well, a month after the assassination of the haitian president jovan m. y e z and investigators of arrested several suspects. while the new prime minister called the new elections, but there was still so many unanswered questions about this killing daniel shrine. the reports that is creating further instability. the killing of president, jovan and marie shocked a nation already suffering from political instability. rising gang violence and the screen poverty, police immediately detained. more than 20 mercenaries, mostly colombians, who they accused of carrying out the attack. 3 were killed while a few others remain on the run. but the most important question remains unanswered

. who ordered the assassination? next shall justice, let, shall justice, let, shall justice be, do not want vengeance nor violence. the head of the palace security has been questioned over the apparent absence of the president's protection. for on the night of the attack, while families of the detained colombians say they were hired by agencies in florida to protect not kill him. investigations of focus on the number of figures portraying themselves as well connected, well, finance, power brokers. they have admitted plotting to remove president ways from office all say killing him was never their intention. that miss young will not take the life of the present in all country that's connected with this barbaric practice miss pay for their action. the stone re as cause of fresh election the soon as conditions allow wherever those conditions will difficult before the presidents, murder,

remain volatile. wouldn't you know what was the show? many people from the opposition and the stinking bourgeois z joined together to betray the president. it's a national and international conspiracy against the haitian people. i ask that all gangs mobilized, take to the streets. it took me more groups campaigning for peaceful change in haiti, civil store, which is a persecuting them for their views. we don't believe in this investigation. this is a political persecution. those who are directly involved in killing the president should be prosecuted when others say haiti's problems are more deep rooted and blame the small elite that is long run the poorest country in the region. it's true, we have poverty, it's true or not organized, it's true. nothing works as it should. but look for the reasons why nothing works now because that search certain people who want to keep most haitians where they are, it's really time to change haiti as requested. united nations help with the investigation

along with what they already receiving from the united states. because one month on there, not much closer to confirming who was behind the killing of president coven invoice, or the reasons why daniel schriner out to 0. now haitians are among about $10000.00 refugees and migrants have been stuck in the coastal colombian town of the coakley. been waiting for boats to take them to the panama border, where they hoping they can keep heading north to re suppose met some of them as they prepare to deposit. go, we may, lena has just arrived, an eagle glee on the eastern shore of the gold for food. he's originally from cuba and has been travelling for days. he was living in white, but decided he wants to join his family in the united states. one. so we cubans have all suffered, we have sold our homes, we sold our bike. the police persecute us when they see you have

a chance and that you're doing well. they stop persecuting. it's a dictatorship and what's happening is an example, migrants continue to arrive to the small town, not just from cuba, but also haiti, bangladesh. and now the nations local authorities, restricted the number of people who can take the ferries to the other side. people arrived to the town of nic, okay, with the objective of crossing the gulf of water by that you can see why behind it from there. they reach another town and then they have to cross the darien gap, which is a very dangerous jungle that connects columbia with panama. it filled with traffic guards and criminal fist. people are extremely vulnerable, but they say they're ready to go. they have covered their items in plastic bag. they've got water. they say that the only thing they need is to be allowed to get on the boat to go to the other side. but many do not have resources to sustain themselves. that's why they sought shelter at this construction site on the board.

may see the julio travelling with his wife. he was living in brazil, and they arrived here 3 weeks ago. north german patients who are arriving here and they stay and spend money. they come with their children, i am very disappointed and nobody is doing anything to help us. and we don't know what's going to happen. migrants are desperate to continue with our journey. some of them have negotiated with local authorities, looking for a way out of the situation. the number of people here is having an impact on local communities, health care, and security. our concerns for the mayor of nick oakley. 3 recommendations you have to wear face masks. don't hire miners along the way to help you with bags and the faster you get out, the faster people behind you can continue. oh yeah. people here celebrated the news. they will be able to continue with their journey. what awaits them is still

true. filled with danger and uncertainty, they say they are willing to risk it all to improve their lives. there is, i will, i'll just see that nick oakley, columbia. me that's running to the latest curve. a new starting with saudi arabia, which says vaccinated foreign pilgrims will soon be allowed to visit islam, holy city of mecca. that announcement comes 18 months after the kingdom imposed border restrictions to prevent covered 19. for monday, saudi authorities will begin assessing overseas requests for the mra pilgrimage. doctors in the u. s. a. the delta variance spreading like wildfire in states with low vaccination rates, florida reached 3 records for dainey infections just this past week. florida and 7 others also represent 41 percent of americans. total new hospital admissions. said when one florida woman who refused to get back snider,

she's speaking out off to she and her family. so critically, you were noble to native and you know, it's been very a lot of information. some people said are those are good. some people say there are no, you know, it's a lot of a lot of things going on. you know, now we, we mean like reading a little bit more and finding out that are actually people that has to be but c native, even if they got call we, they got, they don't get it as strong as we did. ok. so definitely, i recommend everybody to go and i actually am telling all my friends and my family to go and get but needed. ok, i don't want people to go through what we have gone through more protests in europe against the introduction of coven health passes. opponents in paris are out for a full week angry that the passes have been uphills by front. the constitutional

court. from monday, they'll be required to enter cafes, restaurants, and bars, and to use public transport. the passes will show vaccination status, a recent negative test, or whether a person has recently recovered from the virus issue. a similar green pass took effect on friday, prompting demonstrations in rome by opponents italian officials say they hope the pounds will help them avoid the rising infection. right things been in the us while the closing ceremony, the token and pick games that will begin in a few hours. the flame, the flame hydrogen powered flame as i recall, will go out when the ceremony gets under way at 8 p. m. local times, a local time, capping 2 weeks of and pick action, watched by tens of millions around the world. very few in person. because of the pandemic, the national stadium, of course, will be empty again for the ceremony. plenty of memorable moments of these games, but also more than $400.00 cove at $900.00 cases connected to the events going on.

let's go, despite opposition. i think we have reached the closing ceremony because there are people who have thought of and supported the athletes who have worked hard for years for the olympics. i got the despite the fees of not being able to hold the games in the end for us to see the leaves perform and compete on television was very moving. and i think it was very good or better assumed across europe have been knocking the anniversary of last year disputed presidential election. this is the one which led to a 6th term in office for alexander lucretia in the netherlands. people in expressing their continued opposition through an exhibition which that boston visited in the their faces young and determined girls locked up in a detention center and bella was painted by a fellow detainee was since like the country each day, i guess a new girl was coming in or moving to another place and you can see that they are

profession like software test. my su, photographer sales assist and lawyer. yes, it shows me the strength of human spirit to serious a sad of these. but looking at the faces of the girl. so i feel hope the, but the hope for change route by hundreds of thousands of bella roshan, one year ago, seems far away now. alexander lucas shanker was accused of rigging his re election as the assembly and power mass demonstrations against this rule has died down. no matter we both have here but messages of resistance case in a different form. while many evaluation voices might be silence one year often disputed presidential election. these say, despite their fear, the spirit has not been broken. this is another artist who went to the jail. he, afterwards, he scratched the gold from his bill,

irrational passport. so this is his passport and with all the gold with removed, this young artist does not want her identity to be revealed out of fear for reprisals. about a russian activist suspected to have been murdered was found dead last week in the ukrainian capital, kia and she feels unsafe at new york. this past year feels like one very long, tiring day. but people like me who is still outside prison, have a responsibility to show gratefulness to those who have risked their lives and their freedom and human rights. i believe we can change things by doing little steps every day. estimated 600 people are still being detained since last year's protest. the names and faith has shown during this march in the have all this goes all of us, of course, still go today. yes,

because my friend, i am the reason and that's all what can i do now? to be here and to talk and say the names like sunday h t is the owner for the gallery where i worked for 10 years and he's the reason already for one year. the future and lucas younger is actually in prison. screams of the silence have become a little less silent by expressing their feelings to art steadfast and al jazeera in the hate. ah! get caught up on the headlines now the taliban is captured. afghanistan's northern provincial capital couldn't do. and another defeat for the government. the fighters attacked early sunday morning and took the city after hours of intense slicing. charlotte bella has more on that from campbell. it's happening incredibly quickly. i talked to the telephone.
