so he, for, they just picked up, the provincial capital, finds a bad that symbolic shawn in the north east of this kind of sun. it's actually the 1st time that the group has held back shawn in the history of the movement. they also picked up the provincial capital, political murray, which has been battling up to 2 days of heavy fighting. that is quite significant because it's the gateway to the north from cobble. so the reflectively managed to cut off most of the north from cobble. now they also picked up far a city the provincial capital, far in the south waste. this tonight we're picking up these 3 provincial capitals that now got 9. and to put that into context, the last time they held a provincial capital was in 2016, and they only held it briefly because us forces managed to push them out of condos, which they took at that time. so to pickup 9 over less than a week now incredibly significant and showing the amount of momentum they have across the country in the north, the city of missouri sharif, which is the 4th biggest city in the country,

is now essentially under siege. it is an island of government control, but there are also clashes going on beer and we understand the taliban a pushing very hard for that city. also. not clashes happening, not just in the north, but also we understand. on tuesday evening, there was heavy fighting in daphne and god is and also ferrier, so another 3 provinces that the taliban are managing to tackle simultaneously. early today we met with people who escaped. some of the fighting him come to cobble and they had her refix stories of what have been happening in these remote provinces with communication is often communication as well from weak. and it is hard to to find out exactly what is happening on the ground there. but some horrific stories about the casualties and the cost that civilians are paying as this flight and continues. well, the taliban has started a series offensive. the beginning of may that one has triggered a new wave internally displaced people, more than 240000 have fled,

seeking safety is fighting, threatens their homes, united nations office, the coordinate coordination of humanitarian affairs is saying that this is a 300 percent rise on the number of in tiny, displaced for the same period last year. and the charity save the children says about 80000 afghan children have been displaced in the past 2 months. earlier, i spoke with unicef, she for field operations in emergencies, was of been myself. it was just returned to campbell from a camp fee, entirely displaced in the southern province of kandahar. i asked him what he saw while he was that when it became, there were 3500 deals there and the number is growing in displaced families from oregon. but she just, somebody from last to go and i've seen women and children, that there is

a scar of the conflict. i've seen a child burn on the lower and i spoke to mother one of her son last the end industrial guy. and another one is missing and those are just example of many hundreds, maybe thousands of similar stories across that going to center. how are those injuries inflicted on them? the boy was, it was burn. name was your la 10 years old. ready he was asleep. when the projectile enter, the house said the house and fire. he was in his bed and the bed put fire and he now has to be burnt. on the, on the lower part they were sleeping in the conflict came knocking on the door came knocking their houses, houses down. where about the most concerned about in the country right now we hear

about some of the fist fighting, taking place around kandahar and particularly the besieged provincial capital of lush car, the capital of hell, man, province. what are you hearing about the situation there? we know for find that there are still in that are inside the city. we know that other i've been able to we don't know exactly their location. we're extremely concerned because up to, up to the month of may, we recorded for a few children, killed the number now is probably around 5550. and those are the number that we recorded across the country. we fear that that number will grow and we project probably between april and june, july and increased by 70, maybe 80 percent. and this is happening across the country. they have nowhere to go

to conflict now is happening north, south, east and west. and you've seen it and how to send it in conduce. and unless there were, you know, where to go and beach because of the intensity of the conflict, we don't have the capacity to be there in time and to reach them. yes, exactly. when you make the important point that we are seeing an escalation in violence right across the country, it's not just in the southern provinces of candle where you have just been. but also i know that, you know, stuff is recorded deaths and injuries of children in the provinces of cost and packed. you know, this is in the east. we also hear about fist fighting, erupting in the northern provinces as well. so how does unicef manage something like that because of kind of stone is a vast country. the terrain isn't always easy and we know that the taliban a targeting infrastructure such as roads and highways, the your team's able to, to get to where they need to be the way the conflict intensify,

especially since since may june find to find that we have 11 offices across the country and our colleagues and partners are working to ensure that life saving services are provided. it is extremely challenging because there are places where the conflict is so intense and that we're not able to be there when we are most needed. and we've been here for 65 years, so we've been able to build relation trusts within the community in those 11 offices. and we do have engagement with the parties to the concert. but right now, they're not, they're not listening to articles for the violence to stop the need to be a stop to the violence, the need to be a see is fire so that we can go and rich. those went into the new right now, our projection are that one out of 2 children will be severely my nourish protection

are 20000000, again, will be in need of humanitarian assistance. this is a triple crisis. taking the heart of damage, we have the coffee, we have the drought that was declared and the harvest for this year will be extremely for the priority right now to keep people safe to keep civilians safe and to see that children's basic needs are being met. what are your fears for the future for the access to health care and education? i know that you've spoken about reports of children and being coerced into the conflict being recruited by on groups. will an entire generation be lost to this war? we have, we have now and that was before the countries began so intense, we have around $4000000.00 children that are out of school. and this number is going to increase maybe double and the future again, that is in danger. we have worry about measles outbreak because we won't maybe

be able to vaccination from where it's needed back on. and again, it's time, as you know, are places where owners and we see that audio, there would be a massive increase and the audio cases. and they might even cross borders into pakistan on an iran and elsewhere. and the food insecurity with harvest, but it is predicted to be extremely poor. again, we'll have no other choice but to try to flee this country. and that will just contribute to a vicious cycle where the only option left for the generation is to join our groups . and leave education behind. we're following other stories this hour as well. and i'm a math vaccination driver starts in bangladesh for thousands of wrangler living in the world's largest refugee settlement. that infections arising throughout the camp in cox's bazaar. i'm to nearly

a 1000000 wrangler. fled from neighboring me and mom in 2017 government along with un agencies of vaccinating more than 65000 people in the campaign. first stage, a work of one of a potential humanitarian disaster. if there is a significant outbreak, hundreds of thousands of visitors are expected in the state of south dakota for the annual studies motorcycle riley despite rise in cases of corona virus. that the 10 day event started on friday, in official say, the 1st few days have been among the busiest they've ever seen. last year gathering became a super sprite event with about $500000.00 people attending, even though the rally was officially cancelled. gabriel elizondo is in south dakota . well, welcome to main street in the town of sturgis, south dakota, and welcome to the sturgess motorcycle rally. as you can see behind me, there are motorcycles, for as far as the i can see if there's any sort of motorcycle that was ever made.

it's year in sturgis, over the next 10 days, they're expecting $700000.00 participants this year. that's a record. and they come from all over the united states and even from a couple other countries as well. it's a huge effect that goes on for several blocks in the small town. a small town, it is only has a population of about $8000.00 people. but for 10 days, every august, since $940.00. this rally has been held here. it's a little after noon right now, you can see how busy it is already. and this goes on through the evening. there's the people that are riding through town, there's rock concerts at night. people go out to eat. there's all sorts of different venues, but it's made basically a place for modal motorcycle enthusiast from around the united states to come and gather. but of course, gathering now certainly is difficult. now because of the spread of corona virus, there are no sort of social distance seeing or any restrictions in place whatsoever

. here is you can probably tell a lot of people here say that they're not so worried because at least now with outdoor events, a lot of them that reduces the risk. however, at night there's a lot of indoor events with a lot of people, thousands of people shoulder to shoulder. why and guinea one person has died off to contracting the mob bug virus. it's the 1st reported case of this particular disease in west africa. the wild health organization describes a highly infectious and life threatening illness. similar to a bowler, it spread by contact with infected body fluids and tissues. the patient was treated a clinic in the guineas records district near the borders with liberia and ivory coast. more than a 150 people are being monitored in connection with the case. so the mobile virus was 1st attacked in southern and eastern africa in 1967 and have been 12 major outbreak since it's believe the virus is carried by fruit bats. and

a sudden high fever can be the 1st warning of infection. it leads to headaches, joint and muscle pain, as well as bleeding from the eyes, nose, and is fatality rates of varied from 24 to 88 percent in previous outbreaks depending on the strain of the virus? no specific treatment or vaccine is available. george, because our bow is the world health organization is representative for guinea, conic re he says systematic prevention and control is the key to containing this virus. these are where this is about human and i mean more populations. it has been found in batch in the area of the current case. so what may i have often post one comes into contact. we've any more, i'd be fat. and then there is a breakthrough. infection. food is fishy. i would be food and team and

over 155 potential contacts, but being monitored for 3 weeks, make sure that they don't the then the signing of the disease and also to put in place the emergency system terms of case management capacity infection prevention and control or thailand useless pro democracy movement has faced many challenges since it began a year ago. it's taught, eat, is been arrested in the panoramic is keeping most protest is off the streets. but a scot, hiler reports now from the capital bank called the movement, appears to be regaining momentum. jamming the streets of bangkok, pro democracy, protest out in strength to show their support of the growing call for the resignation. a prime minister of praise, general char. this is rooted in their deep criticism of how the government has managed the cobra. 1900 crisis. the nation is now facing its worst wave of

infections in depth of the pandemic. a bond on the whole, the law government has to ask if so when they looks at the people who does to see the same countrymen, your job is to self. the people you see the value of the people. one year ago, a youth lead movement kicked off calling for changes in the long established power structures here in thailand. centered on the monarchy, the military and the lead connected to them, the prime ministers and ex army chief who 1st came to power in a coup with a list of 10 demands. they called for deep reforms in the monarchy. a taboo subject here in thailand where harsh laws aim to protect and preserve the crowns, powerful position. but discussion of what was once taboo changed with the protest. i think the discussion on the ty monarchy movement is moving in a better direction. the issue is deep rooted in our society and we should be able to discuss it in public. earlier this year there were arrests of the top protest organizers and a crackdown by the police. the protest became less frequent and fewer people came

out to regain momentum law over the last several months. mainly because of cove it protest leadership have had to become creative with their gatherings like this car mob here in central bank. but they have also had to refocus their methods to appeal to a broader audience, as some don't fully support reforming the monarchy right now. organizes have focused on their call for the prime minister's resignation. not abandoning crown reform, just tapping people's frustration with the government. but the more with the movement i seeing an opportunity to try to give a, a new flame into that struck go by using the government's failure to provide efficient seen, to provide efficient health care. and the flame appears to be growing with the steady increase of cobra, 1900 instructions each day,

and no indication that the shortage of vaccines will be corrected soon. people will likely have more reason to come out and call for change. got either al jazeera, bangkok you with al jazeera still had. i'm go to holland edinburgh with a famous festival, is a shadow, some say of it's pretty pandemic self, but a testament to the endurance of the arthur and leah. now matthew has completed his moves to paris to man. more on that in sport with jemma. ah ah

cruise with me. oh, the

world's largest celebration edinburgh festival friendship return this weekend. it's to scale back in hybrid program of nearly 800 in person online shows. it follows its cancellation last year because of the pandemic journal reports. did everyone have a good point? them it? yeah, yeah. so make it difficult. isabelle far as one woman show ellipses, a journey through grief by a stand up comedy. what happens when also clinic or excited that you kind of high depending on what either the member for clinic. all, i don't know, musical like many of the acts at this, he has edinburgh festival behind it is a story of endurance. i didn't know who i was anymore last year and exhilaration. amazing, honestly, absolutely amazing. and for me, so everything opened up again for like from it's from may and it's just completely changed. how i feel like feel completely alive again. hello. hello. i am

going to show dormant for 18 months. there are signs of life in the arts. the streets are filling up the stages on lit, again. the pandemic has left its mark. but the edinburgh festival is back on the car. been this over 40 years. this game and the festival i think is the most important vessel in the world. and i think if you like anything, if you don't do it, things tend to wither and die. and i think that the festival had to happen in some form in order to create life and spirit, and actually make sure that there is some teacher for it. and i think would be a lot worse off if we'd done nothing this year than we them than by doing something . so achieving this and then looking towards recreating it properly for next year is kind of crucial. and rewards the world's biggest festival of the ox drawing crowds in the past. second only to the elliptic games. 2 years ago, more than 3000000 people came here to see nearly 4000 acts crammed into every

available performance space. and then it was cancelled returning. now some say a shadow of its former self but it's rebirth cautious. inevitably still coated conscious. there is a real sense of childish excitement the audience is giving them a lovely piece, the future, and hopefully they'll not pay call anybody and make base when they think it's giving them an insight as to how to where entities to the future that the festival it's performed most companies, sponsors and supporters can now turn the show not always go on. and so it is joe, the whole al, jazeera edinburgh, a jam as an out or sport, well as any one story in town, as they say, mariam is official. a little messy has signed for paris. sama, the french side,

announced the news on the twitter page. a short time ago, i think it was a new diamond in paris, accompanied by this video sharing the arjun time saw wearing the number 1st he shot at the park. the problem he's joined on a 2 year deal with the option of the club will hold a nice conference on wednesday when massey will address the media the form up offline a cap, nadia pass. his medical before arriving at is whoa, tell in the front capital where the funds were waiting for. welcome. and then the signing messy. had this to say about the move. i am excited to begin a new chapter of my career out paris. everything about the club matches my full ambitions. massey was also given a warm welcome when he touched down in france on tuesday morning with fans gathering laportia, a effort to greet him. when he arrived, he made the journey with his wife and 3 sons. they began to day in spain before boarding a flight to paris. massey spent the last 21 years with bossa, but after failing to reach an agreement on a new contract,

the 2 had to part ways mess his wife answered. ella posted this picture of the 2 of them on their flight to paris. she captions, the instagram story, a new adventure for all 5 of us. a correspondent pool race is in the french capital covering developments, and he explained how this maple benefit, not only messy funding must be to pay us, jane is going to really raise the profile of league had already been raised with the likes of high overseas, has grown french player, other major stars. abraham eventually landed in league with p. s g in, in recent years. but to give you some context, the international rights for the likes of the english premier league are about 20 times greater than the international rights that league gets. and the domestic rights, which had been over a 1000000000 until a year or so ago, before the collapse of the media pro group had gone down to 600000000. when that was agreed at the end of july,

if messy had been fine before then or that deal is going to bit later. there's a chance with the bargaining power could been greater and french football could have got a better deal. some rebellious noise is coming from some clubs saying that should be renegotiated, but in the long term this will definitely gave get french football boost. have an impact when those rights renegotiated, again in 2024 and as messy prepared to start his new life in paris. his picture was being stripped from barcelona new kind of stadium gone, but surely never forgotten the funds outside the ground set. his departure was assign the club going through a crisis and mess. he's official biographer, gambling agrees that they're falling behind. europe's other big teams. the big picture is that new money is taking over for the big decisions that all morning will just moan, moan, moan, but that's meant that they'd be left behind basically, but thrown off for a while for too long. i've been trying to behave or if they were new money as if they had more money than actually they did. and they got in, in

a situation last season in which the wages of the, of the 1st team represented 110 percent of the money coming in technically bankrupt if you comply with financial for play. and i know that in friends as much relaxed for the next season or to comply with us financially for play. they've done the job . the ones who haven't been doing the job is what i don't know who been pushing the weight. and now they have to realize that they cannot afford to for righty. so they're gonna have to look into having see, it's certain he can afford that ferrari and they've done some good business. this chance the window has to be said, say they've completed the signing of boss alaina's legend and captain massey on a free transfer that's after bringing in the former captain of ra madrid. says you ramos, or if i want to free, they got the best plan your race for free as well. the italy go keep job, read on the river and the netherlands captain georgina one out and has also signed up. you get it on a free transfer. and don't forget that you already had

a global seat, stop killing of back pay and name. i'll use the well, it's most expensive plan and used to play with massey at botha. john listed tony han, marty told out there that having the best player doesn't necessarily necessarily i should say guarantee success. really the magic sport. even if you have the best players, it doesn't mean you are going to win. of course with name are probably within a bit if he's station and now with missy. this is for me, the best practice, the 3 best front of the history of football. but it doesn't mean they are going to win champions 3. this is not enough to win i championship like this unique lack. you need to to be very lucky on some moment of the competition. so of course yes for all of us now, vice in german is going to be the favorite to we dish. or if you do in the company, but it's not going to be enough. what he strong is that we display, and of course they have maximum pressure. if passionate parish enjoyment doesn't

win, the next champion for them is going to be a big failure because we display, as we thought of money. you have to reach at least the final messy isn't the only one guessing, anita dallas. mavericks star liter don chit chat, find a 5 year, 207000000 dollar contract extension with the m b a franchise. so really special moment here. thank you to dollars for offering me this. i don't know what to say because it's i never imagined this happening. i was only dreaming, can only plain them be a and now i can sign an extension with merricks for 5 years, which i never had a daughter that was wanted to sign this. sorry. when we drafted luca and 2018, we had an inkling he was good, but we never imagined he was this good. and that the combination of

a lot of hard work on his part. you know, he didn't just show up. he put in the time his entire life england captain jo rate supports the idea of cricket returning to the lympics, the international cricket council hoping to get the sport included on the los angeles games in 7 years time. have not featured it since paris. 1900. it be great to see cricket lympics for yeah, the 100 seems to fit the bill doesn't think that will go down already and yeah, i mean it said it be fantastic to get to get cricket and on that stage and talk about going to reach out to the country then what, what a charity will be and that is all your fault from the mario. that's lovely. thank you so much. jenna. i took the news out, but i'll be back in a couple of minutes with more of the days news. a full bulletin and of course,
