happening on the ground in the ward and in the lab. now, more than ever, the world needs w. h. making a healthy, a world for you. for everyone. ah . ah. another set back for the afghan government, tyler bon capture is 8 provincial capital since friday. and emergency talks in the heart to stop the violence in afghanistan ended for the day will have a live up thing. i haven't think of this is just a live dog also coming up in

t o. p as prime minister is all capable citizens to join the fight against rebel forces in t grow. the best way i can help now is if i step aside. new york's governor resigned. andrew cuomo faced the number of sexual harassment allegations. ah. the thought about has captured its 8th provincial capital in afghanistan. this time in the city of poly home re the capital of buffalo, a province which is just north of cobbled. the earlier fight has overran the city of far in the south west after a fierce gun battle. afghan forces also baffling the taliban to save the provinces of hell. man kandahar had at, but they are struggling to stop the goose rapid advance as us troops complete that

pull out by the end of this month. let's get more from rob mcbride now, who joins us live on the phone from a cobble. so rob, worrying and other worrying development, this for the afghan government forces giving this particular city is, is quite close to cobble. that's right. this is a blow from the afghan government. it is, as you say, it is a province now to fall in a short number of days. there has been fighting in this province for the past couple of days and the security post has been public company have come under pressure. and it was claimed earlier by the taliban that that's for the security forces out that is now being confirm to us. but in fact it has become the lakers provincial capital to fall to the taliban. it is one of the less important provincial capitals that have been

a number smaller cities that have full and it is still in the northern way that the country side, but has seen a lot of the fighting. but nonetheless, it does bring that fighting close to the camp or not must be the concern for the government. we have seen so much fighting a really across the whole, the whole of afghanistan in the past week or so. in fact, around half of all of the probably all reporting, some sorts of conflict or class use a different degrees. so this is the late to probably to full as far as the government is concerned. it's priority now is to concentrate on some of the more important provincial centers, such as most bizarre sharif and tara census. but it does certainly still have control and put its results is that it says he does have plans to retake some of the less the provinces given the pace of the bonds by the taliban. it remains to be

seen. if we can put those counter effect counselor tasks into effect, and if indeed they will be successful. i want to rob, thankful out a rob mcbride, they're on the line from a cobble force while the set back for the afghan government comes just out off to emergency talks. again, hearing doha, to stop the violence. the top us diplomat for afghanistan is in the car cap, custody capital for those discussions, or have the latest on the fighting in a moment. the 1st is good. how much am june in the how for more on those talks. how much do you know? has him, the talks of officially ended for this the 1st day of these emergency talks here in doha, just in the past 45 minutes or so, we saw us special envoy for afghanistan's. i'll make hollywood as well as members

of the taliban delegation, leaving the conference center just behind us here at this venue, they did not make any remarks to be assembled press and that's really been a theme throughout the day. many of the diplomats here just not speaking on the record or on camera throughout the day, really waiting to see what happens as a result of these talk. there is a great push here. i many international actors throughout the day. you've had the on boys from doctor from the u. k, u n e u china pakistan. and it was back as then as well, of course as the us they've been here. they met 1st with a delegation from atkins got from the canister government led by dr. de la de la head of the national reconciliation council of afghanistan. that meeting lasted just about an hour and a half. and then a couple of hours after that you had much longer meeting, which was between these envoys that are here. and the members of the tall, a bond delegation,

again unclear what exactly was said during those meetings. but if you take a step back and look at a statement that was issued by us, special envoy, envoy all makes and models out earlier today. he said the following, he said in several planned rounds of meetings over 3 days, representatives from countries in the region and beyond as well as for multilateral organizations will press for a reduction of violence and cease fire and a commitment not to recognize a government imposed by force, so it certainly seems to indicate that one of the messages that was perhaps conveyed to members of the taller bonds delegation would have been that the international actors assembled here are not going to recognize any government in afghanistan that received by force seized by the taliban. by force where exactly this leads to next is anybody's guess. one of the things that the diplomats that are assembled here would like to see happen is they would like to see the inter afghan dialogue. the inter app can piece process which has been playing out here in the house since last september. the last meeting of which happened in mid july.

they'd like to see that get back on track. some suggest it throughout the day that perhaps maybe an announcement could be made before the end of these meetings that another interact in piece talk session that might happen. but again, that's all just speculation at this point. really what these international actors want to happen is they want to come up with some sort of joint plan to try to get things back on track and get them to try to come up with some sort of joint plan to respond to a very rapidly deteriorating situation in afghanistan has an alright for the moment, i'm having to jump june life for stare in dog. thanks. palmer, how the european union says about 400000 afghans have been internally displaced by the fighting in recent months as more provincial capitals fall to the taliban. thousands of fled to cobble, but a shot a bell, his reports from the afghan capital they have arrived to find little support. thousands of people have arrived at this cowboy hall majority had come from

northern afghanistan, predominantly the provinces of to ha and conduce both of which the provincial capital fell to the telephone. over the weekend. people here tell us that they were bothered with strikes with fire and they rustled to find a way to deal with fighting one bullet. but the government forces were fighting hundreds of them what i had. and then i said to my wife, just leave everything and just run out here. you had destroyed people who are running fuss, dead bodies and not stopping. and people have told us it was a real challenge. even just to reach cobble, they really struggled supply transport to get them from the more they had to take the seats out of boxes to pack more people. and they said it took them about 10 to 12 hours to reach cobbled, and they had to come through batler and where there is a big battle between the government and tell me about going to give me a buzz when i when i was leaving the city i noticed the families were gone from their homes, they look the doors, they will women on the streets running and they will look for the strikes. i saw

one woman who was hurting the injured maybe with a mortar. when i saw that i cried for hours, was committed to the capital she's going to show when the taliban came, they looted everything. they burned our house and we just ran. we left our clothes and left the front door open and just run. now we live in this town, so please help us. the government is offering some handout. people in cars are offering donations. but as you can see, there is very little support, shelter, food, all the people arriving here are you in this situation is not surely. they say that in the 1st week of august they have counted 70000 people who have led to use a conflict and are in need of their support. i also say 30000 people fleeing the country every week. charlotte bellis just there. a couple of the office of e. p o p as prime minister abbey med has called on all capable citizens to join the fight against rebels in t grey. i'll be launched

a military offensive in the region last year, but the rebel group has continued to make territorial gains in recent weeks. violence broke out in november when abby might send troops to fight the t gray people's liberation front or t p. i left it dominated national politics before abbey came to power. by the end of november, the government had announced its forces had taken control of t, great regional capital mckelly. but conflict took a stunning turn in june. when the 2 grind forces took back, mckelly and governments soldiers withdrew. since then the rebels have pressed into a fall region in the east, and i'm hotter in the south displacing more than 250000 people. samuel get that you is an independent journalist in ethiopia. he says, prime minister abbey is under pressure to do more to resolve the conflict. it said to pay just teeth when he released on his social media page, including twitter. choosing the t p level, once again being

a terrorist group that's colliding with enemies. he called them internal and external. without being specific, he said this fight has nothing to do with the people who are great, but has everything to do as t p. i left. so this comes as p p and that says no just fighting within its own borders, but also going as far as capturing the historic city, which was a significant achievement to them. and the children government was really under pressure to you know, the fighting started in november. the prime minister said is going to be short lived. the mission is going to be accomplished faster than expected. but this is pushing to its 1st year, which is in november, a year since this conflict begun november 3rd to be specific. thousands of people have enough faith. now the conflict is not just within the region. it's in the far as you mentioned, there are 250000 people that are being displaced. so this is really becoming

a nationwide company with. busy issues and resolved in a country that has very limited resources to help this many people. but the conflict again, it's becoming in the national conflict. no longer a conflict that was just within the great region when, when it's begun. in the us, new york governor andrew cuomo is resigning after an investigation documented allegations of sexual harassment by 11 women. como denies the charges but has apologized for offending his accuses. and i think that given the circumstances, the best way i can help now is if i step aside and let the government get back to governing. and therefore that's what i'll do. because i work for you and doing the right thing is doing the right thing for you. because

as we say, it's not about me. it's about way let's go live, not christa salumi in new york with more on this a christian. these allegations. first stuff is months ago, just walk us through what caught us to this point. that's right. it was back in march that a former aid came out publicly and accused the government governor of sexually harassing her. and that led to an investigation by the states attorney general, which just wrapped up over a week ago, producing a $150.00 plus page document that led to the findings that the governor had indeed, harassed women, 11 of them. some of them current, some former employee government workers and the como,

i'm sorry, in terms of that he had harassed these women and in ways of making unwanted comments or touching them inappropriately. he has denied crossing the line and continues to deny crossing the line with these women. although he has acknowledged that perhaps his gestures were inappropriate and should not have happened. he said that there was a generational difference and he apologized to the women for that, but maintained that he had not stepped over the line. so in the last week, after this report came out, a couple other things happened that brought us to this place. first of all, another current staffer who had been unnamed in the report came out and filed criminal charges against him for his actions at hers. he said that he had touched her and groped her against her wishes. a top aid of cuomo also stepped down

over the weekend, saying the pressure was getting to be too much to side of loss of confidence there . and on monday, the state assembly began impeachment proceedings against the governor and members of the governors own party, including previously strong allies of his said that they felt he could no longer govern. given the allegations that had been raised against him. and it looked very likely that they were going to move and make him the 1st only the 2nd governor in new york history to be impeached. it was going to take a while, however, it was going to be a process. and that's when the governor came out and said, you know, even though i believe i did nothing wrong here that is impeachable. i'm going to step aside in the interest of the voters. christian, thank you. are us senators, have approved

a one trillion dollar infrastructure bill. it is the largest investment in the country, roads, bridges, and railways in decades, that votes coming after months of negotiation between democrats and republicans still ahead on august. here we look at the re, bono, live virus now being seen in west africa for the 1st time and messy makes his mood. the former barcelona saw arrives in the french capital to join. paris says you're on a 2 year deal. i i, it's time for the journey to winter sponsored by kettle airways. hello. no major changes to report. send the weather across the middle east. we do have some readings of 50 degrees. so let me show you where we can find that. it's
