make america to try to bring people together and trying to deal with people who've been left behind me ah, me a global wake up call world leaders reacts with alarm to a un reports on the scale of the climate emergency. signs of those changes are already visible from greece to siberia, to the us fire of destroying forest and devastating the lives of millions. into throbbing on the north tip of abbey island increase were wildfires that have been raging for a week are still burning. ah,

hello and welcome i and peter w are watching out to hear a live from headquarters here and also coming up afghans displaced from their homes as the taliban claims. a 6th provincial capital also ahead canada reopens its border to fully vaccinated americans. 16 months after closing and because of the pandemic, ah, top story world leaders and environmentalists have reacted with alarm to a un scientific report on the scale of the global climate emergency. it says there is no longer any doubt, but human activity is warming, the planets, and warns but some of that impact is irreversible. the un secretary general is calling the study a code read for humanity or environment. edison nick clark has more on that report now from man. i've got in turkey where wildfires,

of course widespread destruction. it is a bleak picture. this year alone has seen storms, floods, and wildfires. now, according to sciences, it is unequivocal. the humans are largely to blame for woman the ocean's land and not miss fair drop any of coal, oil, and gas. you've been telling us for over 3 decades of the dangers of allowing the kind of warm the well listen, a didn't hear the wellness, but it didn't last act strongly enough. and as a result, climate change is a problem that is here. now, nobody is safe and it's getting worse. foster about has been repeatedly demonstrated by the reporting that we've been doing here in turkey and in greece on the devastating wafaa that have swept across southern europe. now these, well us do happen every year, but it is the scale of them and the intensity of them that is taking everybody by

surprise this year and that looks set to continue. the 1st you in report issued in 1990, had predicted human cause, climate change would become evident at the time. it couldn't prove with evidence that it was happening. that's now changed or nearly every measurement or climate is more extreme. and it's set to get was causing climate change and making extreme weather events more frequent and severe. second, it shows that climate change is affecting every region on our planet. and lastly, it's place that strong, rapid sustain reductions in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions. would be required to limit global warming right now, it's some of the world's poor countries that feeling the effects that they contribute less to greenhouse gases. there is hope that if the biggest emitters are

able to commit to deliver sharp reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, we may see some positive changes. but it would have to happen within the next 20 years. the cave in 1900 pounds, emmet, briefly reduced air pollution but it did not hold climate change damage. it seems already done. some issues like greenland glass is melted and sea levels rising or irreversible. and unless, as a dramatic change in human behavior, the world should expect an unsettled an uncertain future. nick lock al jazeera southern turkey. while the report is focusing mines of world leaders on what can be achieved at a crucial you and climate summits scheduled for november, the us secretary of state antony blinkin said government and the private sector must act together with urgency to protect the planet. the u. k. prime minister boris johnson, whose government is hosting the summits said the report make sort. sobering reading

. india described the study as a clarion call for develop nations is urging them to take immediate steps towards the colonizing their economies. the european union struck a more hopeful node. it stamped the climate chief said the report shows is not too late to turn. the tide. will climate sciences say catastrophic flooding such as those in europe just last month could become much more frequent as a result of global warming, such as have been shocked at the intensity and the scale of flooding so far this year, steadfast and reports from one of the many german towns still cleaning up lots game as a completed prize to many on highway 265 in germany. people were returning home from work but need a town of f start in north rhino failure. it was suddenly confronted with a wall of water, 12 meters high. remarkably, everyone survived. they'd been 3 days of torrential rain in some places, up to 150000000 meter. and just 48 hours. germany normally gets about half of that

and the whole of july in nearby towns and villages along the river. there was also shocked at the sudden rise in water levels and were tragic consequences in syncing 12 residence in the home for it is able died when they weren't evacuated in time. what remains of this horrifying moment are the thick layers of mud sweeping through, houses, restaurants, and shops. people's lives have been changed forever. we may please take o markets in the historic wine town of our wild, with dozens of people died. he tells us of a man who loves both. his parents told me the image of the woman swept away, waving her hand, crying for help. you know, i have to, i didn't, didn't make it, and i'm not sure if they were found. now the 1st shock has faded,

and much of the mob has been cleared by thousands of fallen tears. questions remained. why were these people not want any sooner and well, these lots that were to happen only once in a century now happen more frequently across the border in belgium, where at least 40 people died. a criminal investigation has begun to find out who is responsible for failure in the warning system. one not to miss all when we have nothing left to know home, no furniture clothes. it's so hard, but i say to myself, at least i saved my child as a mother, that's the most important the river most birth is banks and flooded positively, ash province, including hundreds of municipalities. there was also damage on the dutch side of the border in the town of falcon burr, with estimates the costs could reach billions of dollars while the water has receded, the images of the southern definitely floods will remain with people forever. some expert, se building better production measures won't be enough in the future,

and more steps need to be taken to prevent temperatures rising on need then can people feel safe, again, steadfast and al jazeera from but knowing in germany, great prime minister has apologized for failing to properly tackle devastating fires burning across the country. some of the worst are on the island of area where hundreds of homes have been lost in thousands of people. evacuation. quick officials who blamed climate change for the record breaking heat wave, fueling the fires, but critically the government should have been better prepared out just there was a bus robbing on the island of via the firefighters struggling to contain the flames. now as you can see, the fire behind me like so many we've seen in the last week. these things move very quickly. they go from this relatively small size to a much larger size. very, very fast. the ground around me is covered in dry vegetation,

which is perfect fuel for these fires to grow and spread very, very rapidly. we've been on this location of the north tip of area island for just about 5 or 10 minutes. and we've seen this go from a very, very small group of flames to a much larger fire. and if we look to the right of me, there are more fires burning in that direction. well, along this hiking trail, as it goes deeper into the forest, these fires are burning fast. they are burning hot, and they don't seem to be stopping any time soon. a fire rescue crews that we've encountered driving up and down this part of the island for the last day, for all of, for the last several hours. they're trying to do the best they can, they're putting out all the fires that come across. but we've been here for a little while now, and there are no fire rescue crews anywhere in sight, which is a worrying concern since relatively speaking, smaller fires like this can become very large. blazes very quickly. under current

conditions here in the hill country of the island, emergency crews in northern california have owned a growing wildfire could take weeks to contain the so called dixie fire has been active for more than 3 weeks. now. it covers an area bigger than new york city. several people are missing thousands of had to leave their homes. a lack of rain and parts of brazil is raising fears of another devastating fire season. there in the state of matter, grosso. blaze of scores. 10 square kilometers of the world's largest wetlands in just 2 days. i the us enjoy to afghanistan. sal may kills not as heading for cats are depressed. taliban negotiates is to stop the military offensive. the group says is captured at 6th provincial capital since friday. i back is in the northern province of some gun the tunnel and also claimed to be closing in on mazar e sharif. the largest city in the north. hundreds of thousands of africans fled

their homes since the group began as offensive in may as the us started withdrawing the last of its sources. many of those in the north of had itself to the capital cobble a 10 hour drive from the worst of the fighting. the town of bones taken more territory in recent weeks than it did at any time since it fell from power 20 years ago. in may, it controlled about 20 percent of afghanistan, but as us and other foreign troops withdraw, the group has been ramping up its attacks and has made sweeping gains in the past week. it's taken, the provincial capitals of condos, telecom sutter pool, shall begun that ranch, and now i back fighting to control her at kandahar and helman continues. it is a critical test for the afghan government as the taliban advances and surrounds the capital city. cobble our correspondent, rob mcbride has more from cobble. this is the latest victory being claimed by the

taliban. the city of i back now, this is the city, that's the capital of simon gun, a fairly small province in the north of afghanistan. pictures which have been up loaded by the taliban, which would con, independently verify, but they do show fights has been greeted in the streets by towns, people, a streets which we are told him is video inside i back now this, if it's true that this is the 6 provincial a city to be taken in just a few days and it is in this broad sway, the northern afghanistan where we have seen a lot of other fighting and other gains be made by the taliban. like, like back some of those gains are small cities, but it does include, for example, conduce, which is a very big city strategically very important. it is a very significant victory for the taliban that previously they have taken can do about 5 or 6 years ago on 2 separate occasions it's peices occupied can do more as a symbolic gesture of zone. the very temporary and then day where are the 4000 withdrew and we'll retake him by the government forces. now the government forces

this time have pledged to retake, may do these areas. it is confirmed that special forces are engaged with taliban inside. couldn't dues, but we are seeing, fighting, continuing in other areas across africa. understand still come here on alex's era, more than a marriage of convenience. we look at what's behind, strangely, military ties between china and russia. and a renewed push from india, farmers to pressure the governments on was they considered a threat to their livelihoods ah hello, thank you for tuning in. we know it's been particularly dry for bolivia and peru and this has been the results. cruise sco peru more than 500 firefighter is trying to obtain the flames here

a bit further north toward the amazon basin. we have our continuous rains, but i will take yourself now because we are keeping tabs on a cold front here really doing some damage in terms of those temperatures, single digits, months of the dale. this will work its way up into rio de janeiro. so let's look ahead to the next 3 days, you can really spot where the cold front moves through here, down to 22 degrees on friday. this i wanted to put on your radar as well as we head toward the antilles. about a $5050.00 shot. this could turn into something as it impacts puerto rico and then hispaniola for central america through mexico. we've got continuous rains, western and southern coastal areas and we've got this mess out here as well, but it is out toward the pacific. so no major impact there for the u. s. we've got heat, excessive heat alerts in play for washington state, idaho, oregon and northern california. and then further to the east, we've got heat and humidity as well for washington storms. moving through the prairies and the great lakes right down to the deep south, not everyone will catch

a storm, but you should be on the lookout. the freezing winds and rugged terrain and at times seem impossible. but for afghan traders who braved the con corey door, that is no choice combating the impossible to sound that good, an isolated area. we follow that daring journeys as they overcome the extremes. risking it all i've got is john on al jazeera oh the

welcome back 315 gmc, these are your top stories so far today will be designed environmentalists to react with alarm to a un find typic report on a scale of the climate emergency. it says there is no longer any doubt. human activity is warming, the planets. some of that impact is irreversible, which is prime minister has apologized for failing to properly tackled devastating fires burning across the country. officials the blamed climate change for the record breaking heat wave, fueling the destruction. but critics that the government should have been better prepared on the earth invoice for afghan hassan is heading for cats, are to press taliban negotiators to stop the military offensive. the taliban says, is captured at 6th provincial capital since friday. has the military struggles to hold the groups of bonds with the us in the final weeks of its withdrawal from afghanistan, russia, and china preparing for any regional security threats. china,

she has a border with afghanistan and is increasing cooperation with russia in a series of military drills. but there's more to that strengthening relationship, as adrian brown now explains from hong kong, nearly half a century ago, these 2 neighbors fought a brief, portable, but the latest china, russia, military drills showed that hostility is now in the past. in this mock battle, the enemy is unnamed. it's a military partnership that's strengthening, thanks in part to both countries, worsening relations with the united states. if you say it's a marriage of convenience that underestimates the depth of their shared interests. and of course, the biggest one is opposing america and the mining america and the west. and that's extremely important in explaining the strength of the current chinese russia relationship. $10000.00 soldiers taking part in the exercise which will last for 5 days. the 30th such wargames since 2003 russia's president vladimir putin

and china's leader shooting, paying recently boasted that their country's relationship was now unbreakable. and moscow in beijing appear to be an agreement on afghanistan. both were highly critical of the decision to withdraw all us troops. my september, with concerns that have canister on which board is china, could again become a haven for arm groups like al qaeda. when china's foreign minister, when ye met taliban officials last month, he urged the delegation to distance themselves from what he called terrorist groups . analysts say it's signaled concerns. the china and other countries will be left to deal with the fall out of the rapid us withdrawal. why did biden push this so suddenly and so severely and within chinese circle is also russian and some other

places. they believe that this was, you know, basically saying, okay, we broke it, but it's not in our backyard, it's in yours, russia, china, shashika, stan, all the rest of the sounds. more war games also involving russia. but this time with a force from whose pakistan a joined special forces drill close to the afghan border, preparing for whatever scenario that may unfold from the taliban rising gains in the battlefield. adrian brown, al jazeera hong kong. mm. corona, virus cases and hospital admissions, across the us of reached a 6 month high fuel by the spread of the delta vary and the number of new infections report. it has reached 100-0043 days in a row that say 35 percent spike compared to this time last week. canada is now allowing americans vaccinated against cubic 19 to enter the country as lifted rules

imposed in march of last year, which banned non essential travel across the land border. but restrictions on canadians entering the us remain. she pretends he has that story from detroit. there were long delays at some land border crossings into canada as fully vaccinated us citizens were finally allowed across for the 1st time since march of last year. but given the spread of the delta veterans and pounds of the us, some a raising questions about the relaxation of the rules. i'm a little nervous about it because the numbers are going up. they are so much, never got 100008 day. so why are we exposing herself kind of a shot? it's borders to nom citizens in march of 2020 for the deeply integrated communities along the 8500 kilometer frontier. the result was devastating. families have been separated. fiance, husband, wife, businesses. it's taken a huge emotional toll, so i'm very excited that the boarders opening and we're going to have some relief.

not only must us be fully vaccinated, but they also need proof of a negative cobra test taken within 72 hours of crossing the border. but although cobra for canadians have been allowed to fly to the us since the pandemic began, the u. s. is keeping its land border with canada close to not a central travel until at least the 21st of august, citing the risk of cobra. it clearly has a contradiction here because fully vaccinated canadians can't fly into the us, they just can't use the land border. so for example, that's when the ontario, that's detroit michigan instead of using the one on the health cologne, with a tunnel between the 2 cities, canadians having to drive 4 hours to toronto and then fly to detroit. business leaders say the reason for the discrepancy is what's happening on the southern border. the bite administration says that opening the northern land border will increase pressure to open its border with mexico. and that's something it does not want to do. i think there's a lot of pressure to treat border, the borders,

the thing. i don't know that that's 100 percent of the reason, but that certainly plays it to it. in the meantime, us citizens at least, can finally enter canada from land and sea calendar is expected to looseness, entry restrictions for other countries. on september, the 7th she ebert hansie al, jazeera, detroit, michigan, the u. s. government scientists who is as did are criticizing the trumpet ministrations. corona virus response is reached a settlement with the department of health. the role just rick bright, resisted to the president, pushed to use anti malarial drug hydroxyl flora quinn as a cure for code. 19, he says that's why he was demoted from a key row. a 2nd complaint is still being investigated by the office of special council, which protects federal whistleblowers. tens of thousands of indian farmers have taken part in 8 months of protests against agricultural reforms and they are refusing to back down. they want the government repealed trading laws,
