so they do not cross into argentine territory from this home argent. time authorities can money for what's happening in economic to fit those. but what afford, if you are saying is and what's important is to regulate what's happening in international waters. the news this is al jazeera ah, to $1500.00, gmc here on our 0. hello, i'm come all santa maria opened the news on the canada and takes charge of a 9 provincial capital in afghanistan. while emergency talks continue in. don't hard to try to win the fighting. i'm sure the found us with ghana sounds and harry administer who tell us how the government plan to fight back against the telephone

recently. also in the new fighting fire, with whatever they can muster, the desperation to save homes and lives in isolated parts of l. g. area and feeling left out the field for millions of people living on the streets of india who aren't getting their cobit back connection. i'm john ross over 14 o. messy says he's hungry to win trophies that paris benjamin tina was the 1st 3 presented by a new club mining and jail. me . so once again, the taliban is making new gains across afghan stone as diplomats from several countries try to get the inter africa and talks back on track here and don't ha, in the past week the taliban has taken 9 provincial capitals. the latest is politically moody and finds about in the north and far city in the south. so we'll start with this report run mcbride, he's in cobble this, the ever changing map of who controls what in afghanistan. really not looking good

for the government after. what's been another very heavy day of fighting? you know, more than 25 years ago when the taliban 1st emerged largely from the south of the country, it found resistance to it in the north. what eventually became known as the northern alliance? well, you know, we seem with this latest resurgence that resistance simply being swept away with the gains of these territories and provincial cities really leaving only bizarre e sharif. ms. r e sharif. is the only the city holding out against the taliban in the north. another city conduce which is very important in the north, fell to the taliban at the weekend. and now we know that the airport, which had been holding out to conduce that is also full. and there are reports of very heavy fighting around conduce. and that is significant because given its importance, the government has promised a will. we take this city and we have been expecting a counter attack. so that's a real test because if it fails that test, if it doesn't, we take that safety. that's going to be very telling on which direction this whole

conflict is moving. so you have all of these gains in the north. and then of course that's the continuing violence in the south in helmand and kandahar the strongholds of the taliban in the city of laska, which is heavily contested. there has been a massive car bomb. this was a humvee packed with explosives that was trying to get to the main police headquarters. it was intercepted, the was detonated, causing a number of casualties. b, while in neighboring kandahar city, that city has been under attack from all 4 sides. so the fighting in the north and the fighting and advances made in the south. it really puts a psychological pressure on the center here in cobble. and now the talks which are going on here in oklahoma, jump jim is covering those anything to report mom and come all officially, there's really been a lot of lack of clarity throughout the day as to what exactly the agenda is for day 2 of these talks i was told

a short while ago by one of the diplomats involved in these talks that today there has been a meeting of the extended troika. those are countries that are comprised of russia, the u. s. pakistan and china. that is a russia initiated group. they meet occasionally to try to figure out ways to get the intro app can piece effort back on track. they conduct these consultations every few months or so. the last time they met in durham was at the end of april. so just earlier this year, now, just in the past half an hour or so, we have seen some members of the taliban delegation arrived here at the primary venue for these talks in doha, they are not speaking to the media. as of yet, i was told a couple of hours ago as well by a member of the african government delegation team that they were expecting to come to this venue for meetings with some of the envoys at some point this afternoon. of

course the afternoon has now passed and they have not yet materialized here. so really lack of clarity throughout the day as to what exactly is going on, who specifically is meeting with whom and what we should expect the rest of this evening. tomorrow is day 3 of these talks. i can tell you there is a sense of urgency amongst all the diplomats that we've been speaking with. and while many of them are load to speak on camera or on the record, they have conveyed repeatedly that they want to try to find some sort of joint solution for the rapidly deteriorating situation in afghanistan as the times rolled . and including of course i corresponded. mohammed jumped here and thank you. the taliban advances in the past week. have been quite extraordinary the speed with which they've gone. but there is a much bigger picture here. we can't look at the last week or even the last month or so in isolation. so got some maps for you from the long war journalist,

an excellent results from mapping. really, the last 20 years in afghanistan, i've decided to go back to january of 2017. so that 4 and a half years ago. and this is what i want you to have a look at here. it's almost like an electoral college tally. we're looking at gray areas which are under government control, pink areas which are contested, and red areas on the taliban control. so yes, lot of government control at this point. we move one year on to january of 2018 and the pictures starting to change. you're seeing more areas that are contested. another year late january 2019 and actually the contested areas for the 1st time. now more than what the government holes by the end of 20. 19 again there are more contested areas. the taliban is increasing its number of red districts, 420 districts we should mention across the dentist. and then we get to this point, april 20, 2194 contested districts in afghanistan and the only real saving grace is the fact that cobble her out kandahar these big population centers are still pretty

safely in government control. so that's year by year i want to bring it right down now and actually go week by week just for the month of june. watch what happens to watch. the red districts keep adding up june nights, june, 16th, june 23rd, june 30th. they have piled in there to the point where you check out tally at the bottom there contested areas and taliban areas are even that's through june. and the reason of stop there is because we need to think about what happens at the thought of july. the united states leaves background air by. it's a trigger point. let's roll this with starting on july 10th. and the red districts keep piling in again and again. and as we get into august, you see what's been happening in the past week with that big search of red areas right across the country. it's an extraordinary situation. and let's not forget the big picture is all yes. right? there were looking at the taliban in 2021. the same taliban that was removed from

power almost 20 years ago. so you see control is an issue here in control of key places like airports is vital to the afghan government survival. that's where i strike the launched and remote army basis supplied diplomat say, if a deal isn't reached to protect our port soon and humanitarian groups will have to consider pulling out a diplomatic get at the james space reports from couple weeks ago for your arriving in cobble by air is always breathtaking. the scenery is tac killer. the african capital is surrounded by mountains. it can be a difficult landing, even for the most experienced pilot regularly, the airport is large, it's been completely renovated by the international community. in the last 20 years . it was one of nato and the u. s. his main air bases before they pulled out their forces in recent months. it's now used by civilian airlines and the african military. and for the un, another agents is it's

a vital lifeline. as roads have become more dangerous supplies need to be delivered by air from cobble but now control of the airport has become one of the most pressing diplomatic issues. the u. s. and other western embassies still have large numbers of staff in the country. working in heavily fortified compounds, other like you mean turkish president, reza, type odo on is offering to supply troops. so the airport remains secure. and in a worst case scenario can be used for an evacuation of international diplomats. really important because the airport is obviously the only way out of the country. and if diplomatic missions are to stay in an afghan is then that is going to be administered at some level, maybe in a power sharing agreement by the taliban. then they need to be able to have a way out if either a civil war starts, or if the taliban decide to gain more power. and so the,

the diplomatic activity of the country and also the humanitarian aid of the country is going to be decided by whether the airport stays open or not. so far the taliban has flatly rejected the idea of a turkish presence. and i'm told by diplomats, but if a deal isn't done soon, the u. s. is contemplating taking control of the airport itself. that would be a breach of the deal. it did with the taliban last year and would complicate things in this country still further. james bay's al jazeera, cobble onto the news, and in ethiopia. now group says it's reached in alliance with the ticker. i forces the to grow in people's liberation front g, p, a left and the aroma liberation army. so the only solution is a military overthrow of the government. the lion sees the sign of the widening ticket guy conflicts began back in november. the group has continued to make gains in the northern region early this year. if you have the government out of the 2 groups to it's terribly brutal acts of sexual violence have been used

systematically as a weapon of war intake. this is the verdict of a report from amnesty international. it says many ethiopian and retrain soldiers raped hundreds of women and girls, subjecting some to sexual slavery mutilation. other reported being gang raped in front of their families, and the secretary general says could amount to crimes against humanity. donna seller rivera is the author of that report, a senior crisis adviser at amnesty and says, the victims i getting very little help the support as being regrettably very limited for a number of reasons. the survivors of these atrocities are either in the t gray region of if the o p r, and some of them are in the refugee camps in sudan in both places. the humanitarian situation is dire. in t gray, there are additional problems at

d. u many terry and agencies and organizations that are able to operate in the way region have complained day and day out that they face restrictions to, to derek, to their work, to the delivery of humanitarian aid. and communication is very restricted, so they, you know, a lot of the survivors aren't. you been able to communicate with their family members who are lost somewhere with. and they don't even know if they're dead or alive. they should be receiving medical care psycho social support because the atrocities they have been subject to to. ready have been so great that they have left very long lasting and some time in rep for both physical and psychological damage and, and the survivors. so the fires are mostly not able to,

to get the treatment and the assistance that they require to open its hospice. new thought, here's what coming up china sent and put the canadian business into 11 years in prison and would have been condemned as hostage diplomacy. we also look at how the turkish lake has gone from being home to dozens of species of animals. this injustice and your full truth as well. messy has to medical and complete to move to joe will have the details. little like ah, let's look at the 15 and jeer. you know, that of ripped through the mountain. it's regions killing at least 65 people 28 of those soldiers who died during rescue operations. have a look at this map, the orange dots which show individual fires which have effected at least 16 provinces. since monday, the majority in the 4th,

slightly inland from the coast and the largest fires, and the cities of t user in the could be region. also jaya, where the fires started spreading. this report is from laura manley. the it's a desperate situation from branches to plastic, containers of water locals using whatever hand to smother the flames. kobuck you to we are fighting fire to protect at least the houses we evacuated the elderly and we stayed as you can see. well no, it's like, okay, mama catch michigan as you see there are 5 everywhere. we've not seen the government here. the people are acting as the government long lived, the civil protection team. what algeria kabir region is known for its lush mountains and forests, but scorching summer temperatures have reduced the trees to kindling it's

one of 16 provinces in the north african country that's been hit by wildfire since monday. but many villages are isolated, difficult to reach and suffer from severe water shows just as home burn and cause disintegrate. many people have escaped to shelter in hotels and schools. some soldiers sent into help were reportedly cut off from safety by the fires. and for comes to the flames, others badly injured with burns. for more? well, we have 3 deaths here and 4 in the village. the hospital is full of jury's prison abdomen. she to boon tweeted condolences to the soldiers, families. the interior minister has blamed office for the fires, but so far haven't provided details. no coffee will know which way i can tell you

for beating the fire. we're fighting it with all that we have as a thick blanket of smoke consumes could be as mountains and the skies tint amber. residents via crew and soldiers continue to battle the destructive force of the fires, nor by the manly out 0 and out of ear as africa down there is in tissues where some of the most severe fires are. yes, any mosier how to go. but i had was, this is the 2nd major wildfire, and algeria this summer, i 1st was in country state a few weeks ago or 10000. hector is a foreign land burned down. united easy was more than 40. 2 wildfires were witnessed in the vicinity of foreign villages in the state of tis hughes you were last night. people watched in horror and were displaced by the fire. residents have tried to help civil defense teams and their efforts to put out fires near their house. well,

i know the states have tried their best and offered more civil defense and firemen teams to help to the people here are talking a lot about material losses in agriculture and they're all of farms. the efforts of the civil defense team supported by the algerian army and a lot of volunteers are ongoing to rescue the citizens and find new shelters for them. with from scott now from algiers, as our crime had a food, a security analyst, the chief editor of mina, defense our crm. thank you for your time. the fact that's well, 1st of all, let's deal with the fact that there are fires happening in algeria. i don't recall reporting or hearing about fires in algeria if ever before, but very rarely, surely it's of frequent phenom going on here in our area, but not in that case. we have a huge show what fire is in the beginning of this millennial, especially in 20012002. and then we have the very can very smaller one

fires. but it's, it's something we experience unfortunately, every and each year. okay. okay. well, that wasn't something i've heard of as much. maybe it's just not as, as you say, as big as usual. does it raise a big concern about being prepared enough if the army is going to rescue people and 28 members of the army killed? is a serious question there. yes, but we can also imagine that the soldiers will were deployed in the region for to ensure security and also to fight terrorism were caught a little bit by surprise by the flames. they are scattered around this month. dangerous and forest area. so it was very hard for them to move and to move quickly and to avoid and to avoid the flames. so i think that the,

what's happened is that the authorities use what they've got under that happens. so which were the soldiers deployed in that in the region, just to ensure the proper evacuation of the pitcher. unfortunately, they were caught by surprise. we looked very briefly at a map early a showing the sort of coastal fires and then the other 5 that were more inland. can you give us an idea of distances like those remote mountainous areas, how, how long a drive is it? how long is it taking for, for emergency services to get there? oh, it's quite hard to get there on the bus. and the roads are very narrow and very, very abrupt too. so it takes sometimes a couple of hours to, to reach those specific regions from the chips off the we live and also

from the capital. so we can say that we need at least 5 to 6 hours to deploy enough man on the ground in this very, very how the reasons. but you have to keep in mind that there is a continuity of forests and mountains almost from the capitol. r juice to tunisia. so we are speaking about at least 450 kilometers. ok. just looking at pictures again. now we're watching people. there are firefighters, but we were watching people trying to bat the flames down with branches and trees. the, the absolute desperation which they must be going through. it's i just can't quite imagine it to be on us to tell me, tell me your thoughts on what people are going through. yes, people are living there. they are working there. a lot of them are are

farmers, so they have to get a taken so they have chips so they try to keep the corporate is as much as they can. so that's why we see that people are gathering and trying to fight. thank julie. the, the fire, the flings, but it's very hard because they need, you know, the temperatures are really, really, really high. and those high high winds things not one week. so it's very, very hard to, for them to, to fight, to fight fires with so few equipment. so each and that's why we have that unfortunate that fall off of $265.00 people the because

rather than, than living rather than fleeing, they tried to fight back. and unfortunately a lot of them by or were injured. i'll come cliff, i'm really glad we could talk to you about this and learn more about about the reading. so thank you so much. thank you. so many other wildfire, high temperatures, strong winds, fueling them across the mediterranean, in fact, easily. first of all were fires burning in calabria and on the southern island in sicily, firefighter say they've been called to at least a 150 different locations on wednesday alone. we've got grief as well, the 2nd largest island via where at least 50000 hector's of land has been burnt in the past week, destroying homes and forcing thousands to leave. and then turkey, which has been seeing the growing effects of climate change in recent years like echo, which used to be home to dozens of species of animals, including flamingoes. as just dried up. the situation is raising concern among the

people who live in the era. cynical fuel you has more f and east and city of van. if you came to this area 2 months ago, you would have found the $407.00 hector like a good instead there is now a giant, dried up land. were dozens of species of fish, and fleming goes, once made their home growled, has been a major problem here in turkey, especially in its eastern city, is like van as is yellows. family has lived near like a go for more than 70 years. he's not happy with the change, the wall of each mess. we don't have drinking water. we have access to the city water. but even before we topic, they cut off. you see the animals, you see the grass. we have no barley, no grass. if it continues like this, we will all die, our animals will die. we may need to leave this village, but go where we're waiting for god's mercy lake. i was on the migration path of

various types of birds and featured several suspicious of fleming goes, like many other lagoon and lakes in the space and watching them used to be a visual feast, aka lake has a mind kilometer coastline, but after this years lego frayne the lake has shrunk and dried up. here is a closed basin, meaning there isn't any other water source to feed the lake. experts warn after this years dry up, the lake may never be full of water again. professor moran to ensure rec is head of the agriculture faculty at the university of van. he says less an irregular precipitation and higher temperatures are the reasons for the drought in the basin . we'll alicia mother take longer. i'm characteristically, the temperature is $3.00 to $4.00 degrees higher this year on the lake van basin, generally wheat and barley, a dry farm tier, plans that are supposed to be 60 centimeters long, came out as only 20 centimeters this year. we used to have big harvest,

but this year it's down a lot and all of it became photo we'll ground water in aquifers is an important resource for crop irrigation and turkey. but crop production could be threatened if drought conditions persist. livestock raising will also be effected some irrigation methods in this part of turkey caused 60 percent of water loss. how do they study them as it will lead the food prices to increase? this means costs will go up for livestock raising and agriculture in a couple of months. what we as citizens need to do is 1st volt, save on water. the local authorities also should reuse, surface borders for irrigation damage. lake van is the largest body of water in turkey and the 2nd largest, and the middle east is switch, and sodium carbonate and other salts. according to nathan earth, observatory, lake van is evaporating because it has no outlet to release water c. now, because all the al jazeera from turkey, but in northern turkey,

would you believe heavy rain has hit the area causing flash flooding. the black sea province of sin off has been hit, especially hard with homes destroyed and vehicles swept away. this video showing at least one house collapsing into the flood waters. and at least 10 people been killed in the landside. in northern india, several vehicles were hit when boldest tumbled down onto a highway. it happened in a mountainous area in the state of him. a child pradesh. rescuers had been working to free around 25 people who are still trans with india and fewer than 10 percent of the population there has been fully vaccinated against coven 19. but even as more doses have become available, the country's homeless population has little or no access to them. in the supreme court has asked the government to explain why pas natal with this report from new delhi mohammad, our chrome is with his children in their makeshift home. it's attend,

made entirely of plastic sheets, offering little relief against the scorching heat, like others in the settlement of a chrome field. he's been ignored and forgotten about by the government. during the pandemic work has been hard to come by, and there's been little or no support for those suffering from cooper 19 or to get the vaccine. some officials came down to go names and left, but no one has come to vaccinate. yes, they come often to tell us to vacate that's it. even though vaccinations offering india accessing the jobs has been virtually impossible for those living on the margin of the more than 4000000 people who are homeless in india. at least 250000 live on the streets of new delhi. a recent study found that more than 80 percent of them had not been vaccinated, mainly because they were unable to register online. a short bond is a social worker who grew up on the streets. during the last down he was spreading

awareness about corporate 19 and is now trying to encourage vaccination. one is that people are so scared because of the human and the government hasn't done enough to educate them about the vaccine. you may know about it from newspapers. but they don't have these facilities going give us some southern, most of them don't have phones and those who do cannot afford to recharge the battery or the for. so there are many issues with getting back to in your supreme court is hearing a plea to prioritize, vaccinations for the homeless. it has all the authority for details about what is being done to protect them from the virus. be we bell who are actually the last segment of the society. no one is actually concerned or bothered about them about direct nation. i mean, if they are not vaccinated, they will become unintentional carrier to solve. even if access improve, many like sony are reluctant to get to short people have died because of the

vaccine, so we will not get the vaccine. and if we get the shot, who will take care of our kids, the pandemic has already exposed the socio economic inequities in india. now, the fact millions of homeless people are not being vaccinated is threatening to hamper the fight against corona virus. pardon me, mister al jazeera, you daddy. i coming up to you on this news. our british diplomat is arrested in germany on espionage charges. look at who he's accused of buying the roar of the motorcycle drowns out fee of the kobe. the biggest bank or rally in the united states, and a full to be reckoned with. the fans or the flakes that get another south and a line up for the new season goes along a little later. ah

. hello hot sunshine and high temperatures. that's really the name of the came across the middle east. so come let me show you what we're dealing with on thursday. we've got 50 degrees and barked at to round $38.00 and that is well above average. next i did want to take you to bucket where toward the south, it is settled, but further toward the north we're dealing with that much sooner moisture so impacting places like is the one me about with the height of 33 degrees. we do have big concern over a disturbance hanging over the black sea. this could intensify to a tropical life cyclop and look, it's going to throw rain to turkey's northeastern black sea region. this is an area still recovering from flooding. places like our hobby, hundreds of people had been forced from their home. so 1st the fires and now we're going to be dealing with some flooding rains. speaking of flooding.
