from human call to the political and economic full lot, i'll just bring to the latest on the pen demik. this will have vaccinated more than 1100 people here, all of them migrant farm workers, people on home testing because they think that there is a risk to demography special coverage. and i'll just 0, i guess. and other 3 provincial capitals fall to the taliban in afghanistan with the group saying it's not in control of conduce telecon. i'm sorry paul. ah, how about his dean and this is al to see life and also coming up with an exclusive report from port of helman, province that snow under taliban control. and here the reaction,

the people living there. she down recalls that some bastards that you feel thousands of refugees cross the border to get conflict in te gray plus. wildfires reach for a 60 or increases 2nd largest on our enforce and then coaching on more homes. me a relentless and rapid offenses by the taliban. is overwhelming african forces with the arms groups now claiming control of a 5th provincial capital in just 3 days there advancing across northern provinces and say, they've taken telecom and sorry po, but by far the most significant gain is the northern city of condos. charlotte balance reports from campbell rising will become a store day in s going a stone, 1st, the telephone into condo,

one of the country's biggest cities and a gateway to the north. i just don't want it. beyond group took it briefly in 20152016. before us special forces pushed in spite is out. now america cannot stand in the way 35 threes. the television took, couldn't do that. and when the said he fell, so did the entire province. we have captured the main square, it's 2 pm on sunday and the whole area is in our hands. the government is doing false propaganda, saying it hasn't fallen, but you can see our flag. the gun air force responded with is strikes which lead to fires in the central market. special forces announced they launched in operation to reclaim the city. been the taliban took sorrowful, also in the ease the telephone fight whose entering the city's police headquarters

a few hours later attention turned to telecom. the provincial capital of to ha. in the northeast afghan security forces had repelled their attacks. we finally, the taliban broke the front my residency. the faces were in government buildings. they freed detainees from a prison, the, to the telephone fighters. this is a moment of celebration with each provincial capital they captured. they also got the wider province after 5 years of trying to take control of the province. they have now taken 5 in 3 days. the afghan security forces. this is not being played, encounter offences using special forces and africa and us it strikes. if you focus on a given sliver of time at any given moment, a province may have fallen under the telephone control, but i think the situation remains completely fluid. the telephone spokesman told al

jazeera beyond group never wanted a war. our response is clear. we want a peaceful solution of the issue. the problem that we we waited for for the last one year. but now the taliban has moved into cities. a new stage of urban warfare is on the horizon. if the government wants to take them back, hundreds of thousands of civilians. risk being caught in the crossfire. charlotte bellis, which is era cobble. so. so the next going to son and helen province for al jazeera has gained access to areas under taliban control. or correspondence us, yes, seen was a score. it's by telephone representatives in gresh and princess this exclusive reports. while there has been fight in laska god in the recent days, or the parts of the hillman province are firmly and totally been controlled. 2 only

20 kilometers, separate the city of kandahar from the strongholds of the taliban. which rules plus times of recent battles. arriving in the town of british the party, ben fighter asks us to get out of our car. i can know at 1st sight things here do not look different from the government control areas. but then you see the tiny ben fighters, the only ones allowed to use radio handsets or escort kill us. there is no telephone service or internet for security reasons. in the town you see tiny bone flags everywhere. shopkeepers say it's a sign of their legions to the movement. so that we noticed a clear change before the villages could not come to the market. now they can and

the markets a crowded women can shop and there's nothing to both of them. we spoke to one of the shops, customers as well. what was that on the 1st before the taliban it was difficult for us to live under the authority of the government. now we are free. our children feed us and we are safe families throughout our visit were quoted by tiny ben preventative. the older people we spoke to tend to praise a tiny band and its role in providing security. they will come implementation of a stomach close in the very conservative southern parties done but away from the camera. some young men did not hide their resentment. absence of telephone and internet services and their fear of a lack of freedom in the future. at the district hospital, it is business as usual. in this war,

$600.00 babies were born during last month. the period that the taliban has been in control. eventually since the arrival of the taliban there has been no change in our plans. we were received by the health officials and they told me not to change anything. there was a unified health law and we were asked to abide by us. up this year he was a district point and the point like it, the tiny band controls things on the ground of why little their african government rules the skies and why the tiny been sees it once. and even 16, it's fighters said they are ready for all possibility of doing a pick up at the up for now you are conducting police and duties. what do you know and your battle could below me? was this the, the phone of the applicant, we prefer that they'd be a peaceful solution to the conflict and the current crisis and have gone to some if the government side insists on fighting and does not commit to reconciliation. the

next step will be to attack the state capitals, electricity in the area is provided by these nearby, done built by the soviets and restored by the americans. like everything else in this town of 70000 people. for now, it's run by the taliban city of c h a 0. gosh kilman robins understand? well the sunday mirror is a sophie's, a south asia security analyst and joins us on skype from redwood city in california . thank you for taking the time to talk us through this the situation because as 3 another, 3 provincial capitals have fallen to the taliban. why these 3 times? what were the taliban aiming for? by taking control of these, these new places. so look good. the security situation has been, has been betty bad for the last month now. but you know,

i feel that the situation is deteriorating at a much foster read. i think last week the thought about putting a lot of pressure on provincial capital in the south of the country. and now they've stepped up in the north. one of the provincial capital to call couldn't do it was one of the cities that the government identified as cities that they wanted to defend. and so, losing condos to the taliban and, you know, and diverse political signal to, to supported up the gun. republics. it suggests that the gun republic is on a vicar, political, and military 14 bennett has been cleaning these these last few weeks. i'm sure, thanks very taliban will be able to hold on to conduce i think the government is going to try a made it offensive. then certainly, you know, put up a major effort, but the taliban had experience of gaining and losing condos twice. they

began at once in 2015 and lost it and then they gained it again in 2016. so my sense is that the taliban have come prepared, they're likely to put up a strong defense. we're going to see a lot more fighting, which will obviously affect the civilian population, which is, which is caught in this in despite absolutely but, but just if we look at the problem, i mean, what are we looking at here? the taliban appears to have this momentum in terms of the military operations that have been carried dates. do you see the taliban taking over the majority of afghan, a son in the days and weeks to come are really the 1st stage is a civil war here. i think that the other one clearly had military momentum. we're not seeing didn't operate distance against them. they have been reports of the upgrading forces, you know, trying to push the other one back, but nothing on the scale, which would, we could really amount to

a strong defense of some of the 50 the urban centers. so per now that's all about have the advantage. they're going to push harder. i think they're going to make more gains and the gun government really needs to get it to get it needs to it needs to show that it has a military strategy and put a for now, you know, the sign did not great. it looks like that on the, on the back foot, and they're really off balance. okay. a sunday or mir, joining us that from redwood city in california. we appreciate it. thank you very much. indeed. colombian officials have been a loving stranded migrants to leave the coastal tone of nicole clee around 10 size, and people have been stuck there for weeks waiting for boats to take them to neighboring panama. some of them have not begun their journey along the land border between contents known as the ferry and gap, one of the most dangerous roots in the world. today's book is abs, chicago,

in 1900 mortality rate and the world. whatever people are afraid of the huge number of debts more than 20000 so far. i think vaccine is the only solution to solve several problems, such as reducing the number of debts and return to normal life. because it's very difficult to live in the state of mass and a curfew. getting patience in and out quickly is one thing, but volunteers and medical staff. still faith hesitancy a conspiracy theory. but this to appears to be improving. i have not seen anyone who is quite worried about the vaccine. some people have a bit of misconceptions. they go from the internet, but when they talk to doctors, they get relieved. they, they want the vaccination. for now the country is heading in the right direction, according to the world health organization. at least as far as the health crisis is concerned. with the government must speed up inoculations even as it's in
