large cities and border crossings. charlotte bennett says this exclusive report with the minister 5 weeks ago general abdul sat, mirza quote, stepped into the roll of it's going to stones and terry a minister in all he commands a force of 130000 people. today he is driving toward deck a province west of cobble. much of the province is controlled by the taliban. government personnel travelling by road is rear and requires an escort official forces in the last 3 months. so taliban has more than doubled its territory. and in the last week started to take provincial capital. what's going through your head at the moment about those provinces? how? how worried you? and how do you put the room? look, you gotta go. we are working in 3 phases. the 1st is to stop the defeat. the 2nd, the re gather our forces,

security rings around the city with all those soldiers that abandon their posts were bringing them back to their post. the 3rd is to begin offensive operation with him and on these trips are about boosting morale. he admits it is suffered with the advances the taliban has made. also the telephone attempt to assassinate the defense minister and promised to target other government leaders. security around minister murder quo has never been tied to. a simple task of visiting checkpoints requires this many special forces. you survived multiple taliban assassination attempts and his previous jobs as the governor of turner and condos, there was i'm a soldier, a soldier never gets frightened. when we wear the uniform, it means we are ready for death. i'm not worried about it. he says, a lot of the governments losses are as a result of them losing control of roads and highways. many areas must be resupplied by ear and after the us withdrew, they lost

a lot of that paper ability. but that's fine. it's unfortunately with their withdrawal. the fighting started in $400.00 areas of the country and we have very limited air support. helicopters have been busy with moving supplies, and evacuating our dead and injured forces. so they are delegating to local leaders, empowering them to recruit within their community to rise against the taliban. really carmella paloma, that there are concerns from the international community about these uprising forces. at the moment, all their members will eventually merge into the afghan national security forces. would have governor says he already has 300 men fighting in one force, but he complained he could only provide weapons for 2 thirds the rest. he said he cannot provide with water, let alone money or arms. we're going to limit for the last few months, people are waiting for the weapons. but unfortunately,

the promises i made to these people were not fulfilled. but there is no doubt and a loyalty and desire to help outside the room. the minister's men wage war that police and soldiers joined them. the talk of last nights, gains and losses, where they may be seen next, and how the many injuries are healing. some briefly leave to push off the telephone assaults. thousands of police officers have abandoned their posts some recent months. the interior ministry says they are returning and will be retrained. then sent back to the provinces. they say 5000 people have signed up for the police force and just the last 3 weeks with another 2000 and graduating this weekend. ah, the government strategy is slowly becoming clear, but its implementation is still fraught. and the stakes have never been higher. the telephone at watching. what would you say to them them to do? i know i'm asking the taliban to stop their brutality. leave killing. sit down with

love and we should find solution. i'm asking them not to destroy buildings or are cheap minutes and let's come and sit together and make a coalition. government is one that would be acceptable to all sides of the sooner we do this, the better yet they need leverage on the battlefield. to force a group to make political compromises. and every day, with every loss that leverage weakens. charlotte bellis, osha 0 water. afghanistan. mcbride is in cowboy with more on the taliban advance 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 can do 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 it's important that 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 city 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, was detonated, causing a number of casualties. b while in neighboring kandahar city, that city has been under attack from all 4 sides, so that 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 stead department spokesperson . net price as the us intends to foreign international consensus in the push for a peace accord in afghanistan. but miss talks in doha, have been painfully slow. representatives from several countries have met with afghan and taliban negotiators in cut us capital to try to get them around the negotiating table. africa negotiate just say the taliban has not shown seriousness about the talks and do not believe in a political solution. my jumped room has more very few concrete details emerging from day 2 of the ap can talk here and how what we do know is that there was

a meeting of the extended troika that is comprised of russia, the us, china, and pockets on the extended troika, is a moscow initiated group but conduct consultations on ways to support inter afghan negotiation to help the parties reach a political settlement in afghanistan and to reach a ceasefire. now all the diplomats that we've spoken with thus far has said that of paramount importance during these talks is to try to come up with a joint solution for the rapidly deteriorating situation in afghanistan. the fact that these talks are being held, it all really goes to show just how much urgency there is. how much impetus there is for the international community to try to come up with some kind of a solution. and to also try to get the intro african piece talks and dialogue back on track. of course the inter app can piece process the last time they help talks and how was in mid july, and it's really come to a stalemate. so one of the things that diplomats want to see out of this is they want to see

a way for the afghan government and the taller bond to resume their negotiations to try to come up with a cease fire at such a critical juncture. and to really do all they can to improve the situation in afghanistan. ah, italian on and of sicily, his recorded europe's just ever temperature. syracusa registered, 48.8 degrees celsius. the world meter article an organization is expected to verify the record shortly. so that this string heat wave is feeling fires in the south of italy, homes, animals, and crops, and fish. nice near mountains have been destroyed by wildfires in recent days, and also phase blazes igniting in spain and portugal where temperatures could reach the low fourties. greece government has pledged billions of dollars in aid for people and forrest affected by the wildfires. as you've lost homes,

so there were no casualties. i remember in the past when there was a fire, the church bells would ring. all the people in the nearby towns and villages would go to the fire and put it out themselves with their own hands. men, young kids, so the fire doesn't spread mommy. now with the evacuation the people left for there are no victims, and the evacuation was obligatory. whoever's homes were not burned, they saved their homes because they were hiding under their cars. so the police could not find them and tell them to leave these other people who saved their homes . even the wildfires in heavier happened at the same time as the ones in the north of athens. residents blamed the decision to divert rescue teams and water dropping aircraft away from, for the severity of the fires. many who followed evacuation orders lost everything. one woman who was told help is on the way, said her form ended up burning down. and she is still waiting for the firefighters
