and capturing 16 preventatives out of 34 provinces, they have strike a balance in symbolic balance in terms of there are 3 being controlled in the bottom and now is almost 5050 annual strategic momentum. militarily we bond, they have room to have an upper hand. now in any affairs related to the politics, there is an incorrect preconceived idea, i guess outside the immediate region that says the taliban is and always has been a homogenous organisation. it's never actually been that has it. i mean the taliban is just a desperate collection of groups that say we are against the government. therefore we will operate under the label, the umbrella of taliban. but you can't do from a paramilitary or a military points of view. you can't do what the taliban are doing unless you are part of a homogenous organization unless you are well organized unless there's

a clear command structure, surely there seems to be issues with the political decision making. and part of the government collapse is coming because of the government did make a stand in the provinces such as iraq. let's go ahead and come to hub, but other provinces were very easily addicted to the, to the taliban. it also seems that there that with the part of the momentum of the taliban in the budget that are huge realignment across the country and regional and local dynamics, but also it's role. and then he seems to be in favor of thought about i've been moment regarding the started, but of course it is a homogenous organization. and a lot of local people,

particularly the router of understand where the government has largely paid to deliver services. throughout the 21 years now hasn't been del stronghold. and these people are pros halliburton, because they don't see the whole delivering services. so that has be benefited to the taliban. so you're saying the split of who controls what is roughly 5050. we've been playing a graphic from here at our end. graphic basically says it's 60406535, but surely the reality here is to fold, if you will. on the one hand, it's politically unacceptable for someone like joe bite in the us president to say, actually we've got to go back in. and on the other hand, we got this. what looks like the beginning of, i guess it's a counter intuitive process where you've got the us military signaling. we'll go back in, you got canadian special forces saying we're going back in,

you've got the british army getting ready to go back in. not to fight the taliban, but to safely evacuate their people from the embassy. so clearly, plans are afoot that they've been in place for a long time, but plans are a foot to get people out of the country, dot, dot, dot because the country might fall to the taliban. it with the collapse of me and lo, better provinces, which our neighbouring probably provinces to couple and good as with, with the, with the command of iraq and come the hot and as important strategic programs. there's no ha, it seems that the balance of power is helping completely to are the thought of bon and made it over. now. it's not almost the eminent i'm the america happen. so yes, and the community is

a word for it to stop and seems to be evacuated. the stuff from, from, from a couple. and there are reports of 3000, you know, read being deployed. it took up a little bit in 48 hours. but of course not to defend the government, but to evacuate that there in the you. so that we are reaching to the in line with a government who was supported by the which was and, and, and it seems that they are abandoning their ally in capital which will definitely fall into the hands of this on the bottom given lack of support. now, so we must leave it. there are many things, same side that they're talking to us from cobble feel filling. government says it is seriously concerned about the welfare of a chinese born australian journalist has been detained in china for

a year. cheng lee was formerly arrested in february on suspicion of spying. she'd been working as a journalist, an anchor for c, g t n, the english language channel for china to central tv. the allegations could lead to life in prison or even the death penalty. they are highly unusual for an employee of a media outlet tightly controlled by the ruling communist party. a month before she was detained, australia did warn its people of a risk of arbitrary detention in china. beijing dismissed the warnings as disinformation. let's talk now to richard mcgregor senior fellow at the louis institute. he's also the author of the party. the secret world of china's communist royalist, he joins us from sidney. richard, good, happy back here on the new south. what to the chinese authorities doing and why are they doing it? well, if what they're doing is keeping this australian citizen imprisoned for a lengthy period of time on charges, disclosing state secrets, but exactly why they're doing it. and those charges main isn't clear. now obviously,

australia, china relations are very poor. it's the case. it has to be seen in that context, but it's not entirely clear that chung lays being held simply because she's in australian citizen. and this is some form of a tele ation. it's the has to be of the chinese system. it looks like that, but we don't know for sure. 100 percent. i mean logic would dictate if you're in a job such as being an anchor woman on an english language news channel broadcast around the world. that's a relatively high profile job around the world. anyway, but if you're working for c, g, t and out paging at the very high profile job, so logic would dictate that you don't kinda double dip on that position and then try and work as a spy as well. while i've no idea about that, i don't, i doubt it very much. you know, so the 1st time that china has arrested journalist from the state broadcast to be

cctv the chinese language service or in fact the english language language service . you know, often that has happened in past corruption cases when they've come down the line and, and picked up other people allegedly involved. there's not a suggestion of that involving chung lay at all, but it, the problem is it's simply a mystery as to what she's alleged to have done because the chinese legal system doesn't disclose that. and it's not clear that will even be disclosed at the trial because it's possible, as with canadian citizens in jail, the because the state secrets allegedly the trial could be closed. this time yesterday on the day before that we were reporting on a canadian, michael saver also being charged with spying. before that there was a similar case that the allegation in that particular case wasn't spying as such. but does the chinese judiciary slash legal system slash government perceive the allegation or the charge of spying as a kind of a, a catch all if you will,

a legal non return valve when it comes to signaling a change in approach to other countries. and in the middle, there's a porn i an individual. well, that can be the case, but there's a few things we should make clear. first of all, almost anything can be thanks, secret in china. so in other words, that covers all bases. it's a very flexible charge. secondly, the chinese judiciary is not independent from the communist party on government. and in a high profile case like this, the ruling will be dictated beforehand. so whatever the judge rules, that's the government speak. okay, we'll leave it there. rich mcgregor many thanks. rich mcgregor senior fellow at the louis institute in australia, me thailand is struggling to control its strongest wave yet a cupboard 19 while the vaccine program continues to accelerate. it's probably not

going to be enough to reduce the rise in cases in the short term, scott, hyper with more on that story. now from bangkok, this is thailand's worst week in its covert 19 battles. there were 2 record breaking days of new infections and one with a high of 233 deaths until the start of the current 3rd wave of the virus. and april thailand had only about 30000 cove in 1900 cases in all since then it's added more than 830000. a delayed vaccine rollout has been the focus of much criticism directed at the government and the mixed messaging about preventative measures. as the 3rd wave was just taking hold. the rapid spike in cases has led to heavy strain on the health care system, which is considered one of the best in the region. volunteers have jumped in to fill the gaps fell upon loud, gotten to me, the existence of volunteer groups shows how the government has failed the pop up. so people have to help each other. the health ministry has proposed and immunity

decree that would prevent any legal action against from my medical staff while working on cobra, 1900 patients. it says it's designed to help them do their job, but it would also protect those responsible for vaccine procurement. an area that has come under critical scrutiny from the opposition and pro democracy protesters that i've made either on the you can set a precedent if the government wants to be protected from their own actions. have seen more people sewing the government targeting policy makers. i don't think people will go after frontline medical staff. i think the officer will feel at ease it have some kind of immunity. so well medical expert and a better supply and variety of vaccines are critical for the overall battle against proven 19. more at home testing should be the top priorities. while the recent wave started in bangkok and other large cities, it is now spread to rural thailand. and that's an added complication because there's limited access in these areas to health care and vaccines. but experts say

more testing would help. i think that the piss his work is to key to, to, to help control the infection. ideally, it should be free for all people, because if you have this test in your hand at home, you can monitor yourself. if you get infect, you have, you can help self home isolation, doctor put you and says it would also free a bed space and medical staff for those who need advanced care. and it would help protect some of the more vulnerable groups, the elderly and children. as the rates have covered, 1900 spreading inside households increases. got either al jazeera bank up saying was cobra china announced is now fully vaccinated of a 777000000 people against corona virus. that's more than half its population. the country had been stepping up its vaccine roll out this month after the belt of air in spread to half its provinces. in less than 2 weeks, china reported more than 700 cobit 9 cases in the past week. so career prime

minister is pleading with the public to minimize travel, not meeting groups, and work from home is code 19 infection search. there. the country has reported around 2000 new cases for 3 days in a row. a 4th wave of infections is being driven by the highly contagious delta variance, which is now the dominant strain. the virus in the country argentina has begun distributing its 1st batch of locally made spoke nic corona, virus vaccines. more than a 1000000 doses of the russian job have been shipped to vaccination centers. about 6000000 people have waiting, waiting to receive a 2nd dose. argentina was the 1st country in the region to approve the vaccine. one of the largest annual gatherings in the u. s. is now open despite concerns about rising cases. cubic 19 thousands of people are expected at the iowa state fair, which more than 1000000 people attended back in 2019 pre covert people are not required to be vaccinated and they're not required to wear

a mask. his gable is on the it's an american tradition, the state fair and nowhere do they do it bigger or better than in iowa. scott, it's opening day at the iowa state fair, and it's full of rides. and who do want a giant turkey leg? this is the place and there are plenty of big midwest farming trucks on display. cathy grainy has been coming here all her life. i have been coming since i was born and i have been a just fair for 66 years here. it's all fun and games, but the truth be told i was going through a surgeon corona virus cases. just last week alone. more than 6000 confirmed cases, a 50 percent increase from the week before hospitalizations and deaths also trending sharply upwards. so outside these fairgrounds, it's not about what ride to go on or what food to eat, that concerns are much more serious here at the biggest medical facility in de

moines. they're so concerned about the delta variance and the surgeon corona virus . cases that the childrens hospital has decided to cancel all elective surgeries, including biopsies for children that could have cancer. organizers in state elected leaders, refused to cancel this year. masks are not required. social distancing, and temperature checks aren't happening. very goers have mixed feelings about safety. i was concerned about it. i backs the native trees vaccinated. but i still think the mask is a safe thing because we're very close to people doubts about coming. did you kind of talk about her was never any you know, we all but especially where we're going to bring our grandchildren in that. no, it's not where we weren't going to bring the young kids because of course they can't be vaccinated. other health experts say that many of the people attending the fair this year are doing so with a false sense of security. it is the perfect mixing pot for people to gather together bread, coven, 19. and especially the delta via various take it back home and even further

outbreaks. we actually have one model that came out of polk county public health department that shows that will be about $600.00 people who are walking around positive for koby 19 each day of the fair with affairs spreading the fun, but also possibly the virus gabriel santo al, jazeera de moines, iowa. the number of migrants being detained to the us border with mexico has not hit a record high more than 212000 people tried to cross in the month of july alone as a 13 percent increase from the month before june. phil laval isn't macallan, texas, with more this is the migrant front line in texas. it's called 10 city. they're the lucky ones, if you can call them that, who have not been immediately deported, awaiting a hearing in crowded conditions, but in the us at last. and that's what matters the smiles say at all and come in

the way the travel here was very stressful. the city of macallan is a gateway to a new life of people like elsa. she left guatemala, left at 2 sons, made it through mexico and smuggled herself and her daughter across the border. i went on, but i was hungry. i walked for 18 hours. officials decided she can stay to plead a case. so she's taking a bus to florida. now me, i have a friend and she's going to take me in and help me find a job there. so i can give more to my kids, because there is nothing in guatemala for me. there is no job, there is nothing for them. i want them to have a better life migrates arrivals along the southern board. i have rocketed lately, managing the bowl increasingly impossible. we've done a great deal and we need to do more promises again from the home secretary who flew in to texas. but the numbers don't lie and the police from the top do not come on working june. so a 180000 apprehensions july, smashing that number with 212000 the highest for 20 years every day,

around 1800, making it across. now, once the migrants are being processed at the border, they are put on the buses and they dropped off the bus stations like this one and downtown macallan often with nothing more than the clothes on their back. on an envelope full of papers, i have to keep hold off ahead of their asylum hearing that is where they enter the cur of local charities. there are a lot of these places around that will give them food and shelter and water, but even they are struggling to cope with manpower with resources. and congress is not helping at all. this is a system that is being pushed right to the edge and then a little bit further nearby those free food. these volunteers dropping off meals to the thousands in those temper camps. since the end of march, we've served over 250000 meal to migrants in macallan. we've been supporting much just because that's just macallan for the migrants you've traveled so far. there is another challenge, some conservative voices, claiming them for spreading coven,

or bringing new versions in their doctors. disagree are these folks bringing variance that don't occur here? like the l for of a lambda or the delta? and the answer is no. what we're seeing in our community and those that have been admitted from their committee, which is quite small, is that they're all delta variance for elsa. that was the least of her worries. me, her 1000000 things got i made it and my family and i don't have cobit as she heads off on a 20 hour bus journey. it'll be the most comfortable trip she's made in weeks one where she finally has some hope. from lavelle al jazeera macallan, texas lebanon's, listening financial crisis to thrown more than half of the country's population into poverty. and the currency crashed. basics became much more expensive and people increasingly turned to the black market and the fuel subsidies maybe last 2 ounces. 0 spoke to a mother of 3 about the struggle she and her family are facing and the amount of has, i am human and has a mother of 3. i am

it's too messy has been, has been an incredible monitor for the steam roll madrid unless you go with all these themes that you've got. this got a lot of goals against them, but the truth is now the spanish league has a big problem. economically we have seen much should be sending grilles for more than 100000000 euro. we are seeing that chelsea is going to china romano, new capital. now spanish teams has a lot of problems but not only bash alone and run. it also be out. she'll be a medical, yes, we don't miss. she. other themes can have many options, but we have to be aware of one fact that real number, it has also a lot of rollings look at their risk. what is not that is what, as great as it was a few years ago, i would say that maybe i'd let the go. yes, he's happier because he's doing the things properly and they are reciting each same better place. but what i want to say is yes, but sharon has not problems,

but also the other cops. that's why i don't think they are done. they are not going to take profit or benefit with leo know missy options. i think they are more or less like butler with the big economic problems you have seen, for example, she re yeah. having to shell brian here because they need money. all spanish clubs are be economic problem. so what's happened with messy doesn't change anything, but should only you still have favorites to win the domestic league, and i think they are going to be able to, we need but it changes its different when it comes to competing in champions league nowadays about shallow. now let the gone remedy nor they are not able to fight with chelsea magic that she the body shop german bella mentioned, they are not able to do that a, they won't be able to do that. in the following years. english summer league also returns on friday after more than a year of disruption caused by the pandemic. this weekend's opening matches will
