the heat can be found in the south temperatures here sitting in the high thirty's, but for the i barian peninsula, this is where we're seeing temperatures climb up into the mid forties. and we could see a new record come sunday. ah, on counting the calls europe pete fund to fight terrorism, then counter china and russia in africa. activists say they'll provide weapons to dictate the climate emergency costing billions, displacing 1000000 counting the costs all. now just let a gas a breathtaking tropical paradise where its former protectors are now wanting to very we follow their journey as they put their lives on the line. i think it's all

medical and algae 0. a diverse range of stories from across the globe. from the perspective of a network gen and analogy. era. oh, i come back our main story now. taliban is gradually encircling campbell. seizing the city of pullet alarm, just 50 kilometers from the capital. earlier to major cities fell to the group. last gar and kandahar taliban birthplace and a key trade port and un agencies of warning of

a humanitarian catastrophe. and i've got this done as the taliban defensive. dr. thousands of people from their homes as they flee violence in the provinces. more than 250000 people have been displaced in the month of may 80 percent of which women and children when one hundreds of people have been allowed through a key border crossing between pakistan and afghanistan. it was reopened on friday following a fight between border guards and people waiting to cross. come all hind. it has more than this now from islamic by. for the dollar. bon and the bugger saw need have been saying they didn't grow that border. however, they were a huge backlog and they were people on the budget on the side of the board. that what they have to do is to grok by on for. and i've gone to several 100 meters in order to get to the grandchild richards under the control of the avalon taliban and

all that one particular pedestrian who died of a hard day and of course led to tremendous anger from dog. i've gone to waiting on the buckets on each side of the border which started spreading stones that day to guarantee for his daughter to buy the borders now open or open from 8 am located. busy time it will be open until 4 pm every day in order to eat that congestion big guard for one week. hundreds away goes on both side were stranded. the trading community rented the government and said, love of honest on need supplied their trade, depend on that trade for their livelihood. they said i've got that city granddaughter salvage over 400000 people. and this is the men, logistical lifeline. and 2 of liners done. although now rated and dollar bond and it is a major conduit and a lifeline for honest on particularly as part of the out as concern by guest on of

god had voiced its apprehension. they lived together the situation deteriorate inside a run. as don wickertree, an influx of refugees, buckets on it already home to 3000000 of refugees. and they were concerned at some anti pockets on elements may try to cross the border by dated business. as usual, the board is now open. well, many afghans blame pakistan for the taliban success, the pockets on the government insists at once. a peaceful resolution for the crisis doesn't support the taliban takeover that officials are accused of allowing taliban leadership into pakistan and letting fighters receive treatment in hospitals. what are some of the senior fellow at the atlantic council, and i've got a sons, former ambassador to canada, and france joins us now from washington. so obviously the taliban is sold on the country, required coordination and planning. however, they managed to, to strategize in this way and carry out this seizure of key cities and provincial

capitols were taught on our 26 years old. they didn't emerge just yesterday. they have been hiding for all the speed, with exception, maybe one or 2 years after 911 when they were out from cobble and the rest of them . so they are very season hiders. they have, they know the concrete 30. they have to networks that are cross, you know, across the provinces, but also they have, you mentioned, they have also relied on networks support networks outside of, on, especially in focused on and, and also they have been reported that they have also been tolerated by the rug that the russians are roomed up to the in the chinese on meeting them. so the had become more than just a militant group as they used to be in the 990. so they've,

not only will they, they have indigenous estimate can tribal links within the country, which they've continued to, to cultivate. and then also to sort of almost develop their own foreign policy where they're in touch with countries that border afghanistan and not least recent negotiations with the u. s. itself. how much focus is then now on pakistan's role. and the fact that they, in many ways, even though there are very season fighting force, many people are saying that this, the scale and speed of this offensive is unprecedented even for that, the taliban. and they couldn't have done it without that external help. well this being an accusation that is also 26 years old. i very much remember the corner movement that accused them of such guys they still have ties to

focused on religious infrastructure to address the system they receive logistics help, nobody denies it it's. it's not even an open secret anymore, but i think the tolerable also. busy have evolved into a more of an african phenomena, which obviously again, some support systems outside the country. they're not, they're not only ethnic phenomena. they used to be in the late ninety's. if you really study them hard enough for those who have, they also are relying on the cities and on just on now. i mean the, the fact that they've been able to take more than that, honest on with the, on the north east and one just on areas that are predominantly told you it was back as aura is not done just with my students. there are done also with locals, who are dissatisfied with the government dissatisfied with the injustice dissatisfied with the heavy handedness of the u. s. neat or presence of ties and the injustice, but also the correction that over 20 years has turned

a lot of people away from the government. and at times into the opposite it's all about. does that mean that the, the momentum that is on their side can't be reversed or changed in any way? in other words, everyone's lost leverage over them? no, i don't think so. i see the kind of want to be very careful. you have to learn from the past, the hopefully will not repeat the mistakes in the past. they have to be more flexible. there have to be more acceptance. they have to be my mother in some ways . we don't know exactly how the change. there's a lot of talk about that that people see it very black and white. i think it's been great. i think that in some ways to call a bon, especially that leadership are changed, but in some ways they haven't. right, and i mean, when you say they have to be more flexible, more modern, you know, the criticism is that that is just taliban propaganda. that essentially they

haven't changed already. we're hearing some pretty horrific reports about the restrictions that are being imposed on women that essentially this is a group that hasn't changed at all from it's sort of repression. when i say, when i say that they have to be when they say they have to be, i don't know what propaganda that you mentioned when i say they have to be. it means that if they want to be accepted by the atkins and they want to be accepted by the national community, they have to prove from now on now that they are controlling cities and they're controlling territory and they're controlling populations sensors. they have to prove that they're okay with school, with university women going to work with a lot of the freedoms that we have gained over the years that need to be protected and children constitutional rights. they have to show a certain commitment to all of those in order to be acceptable. so they burden is on them at this point and it's going to be more and more on them, otherwise they will lose support internally and externally. ok, omar summer,

thank you for joining us there from washington. while we go to shoreline canal, the most senior catholic ministers accused the government of watching and investigation the deadly easter sunday bombings in 20. 19269 people were killed and the coordinator attacks on churches and tourists. hotels, men al fernandez, has more from colombo. the catholic church is scathing in this government's treatment of the east bombings and the inquiry that followed. we heard from the archbishop cardinal malcolm runjun, who basically said the government, the president has blood on his hands, that the assembly to power on the blood of the innocent victims of those eastern attacks. they said the failure of this government to prosecute those responsible, those who were involved in positions of authority that either ignored the warnings

that did nothing to stop what they say could have been prevented from what the reports indicate has been an absolute tragedy. now, they have been launching sort of campaigns from time to time, and they have said that if these don't work, they are ready to go international. not only can that be thinking of thinking of you and the international human lives commission, because it is right off people for justice that should be known. and those who are sponsors shouldn't be identified. we are not, we're not like shylock insisting on the pound of flesh, but we want them to come out because then such matters will not rise again. again, the catholic church questions, the sort of incomplete investigations they said there are lots of areas of questions that haven't been pursued the involvement of military intelligence with

the so called perpetrators or some of doors involved with the attacks. why those lines of inquiry were not pursued. why? one of the bombers, who turned away from the 5 stuff which was contacted by a military internal operative. and there are many other questions which the church sees a need on says type beliefs, a fine rubber, bullets, and tear gas to stop. hundreds of protested were trying to march to the prime minister's residence demonstrators want private channel shut to step down, accusing them of failing to control the corona virus outbreak. scott, hi la has more now from the capital bank cox. this is thailand's worst week in it's covered 19 battles. they were to 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. in 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 parking lot. so people have to help each other. the health ministry has proposed and immunity decrease 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 desk and set a precedent if the government wants to be protected from their own actions. have seen more people. so in the government targeting policy makers,

i don't think people will go after frontline medical staff. i think the officer will do at ease it have some kind of immunity. 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 is where is the 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 banker. also, european economies are bouncing back as covered 19 restrictions at ease. but for the netherlands as a new problem on the horizon, a shortage of workers, stat, loss, and reports. the people are on the move again. now lockdown, have been lifted, but train companies in the netherlands are struggling to keep their regular services going. several trains have had to be canceled because of the shortage of traffic controllers. drain company poll dale had had to ask former employees to return from retirement. and oh, still working not to retire yet any to fall in the rail. is it so that you will often work late shift last night all weekends? it's a 24 hour business, but for young people looking for jobs, it's like going to the candy store. they can choose what they want to do. for example, if you want to go out on a friday night,

then it's impossible to what you want a new home. ok. yeah. so it's new. think of us are going to keep her the company urgently need 70 traffic controllers who are expected to work irregular hours to guarantee a safe train. right. but they also need people and other departments including risk management and finance. i guess a problem. plenty of jobs available, not only bring companies are struggling frames, running factory hospitals and hospitality factor. grieving out that dr. economy has strictly come back to life off the left down. but it's no less thing to slow down. the lack of worker after opening up again and may restaurants and cafes found that many of this stuff had left some establishments and are forced to close again for several days a week because they're not enough people to do the work. and finding stuff was also a problem before the pandemic. i think there are you. but 3 years ago, dick funnel status started a company called shafts from spain,

and now can't keep up with demand. there are not enough working people and i think we, we have to solve this to, to think more european and look for stuff in this case, southern europe because unemployment, there was around 20 percent. victor hernandez arrived 3 weeks ago from spain, and as among dozens of chefs recruited so far, there is no jobs available for us. here. i'm the one saw maybe don't have that have a good condition. so you hot here that are monday. but i was that social system despite have been damaged in atlanta, has an unemployment rate of only 3.3 percent. and the economy is predicted to grow by 3 percent next year. but to maintain this growth bank, hun mass assess companies need to be more creative in attracting workers. this is the new demand by the younger generation. millennials,

a generation offer that is common on the labor market in a couple years of time. they want a bit about the balance between work and private, and maybe this is a spoiled thing, but it's a western european western world thought the phenomenon is not just the whole him. he is concerned that if companies can attract more work from the netherlands or from abroad, the economy will suffer shaft. victor says more checks from southern europe would definitely not hurt dutch gastro, and i me, the eating of good food stamp fastened al jazeera got total. now production of the new lord of the rings tv series is moving from new zealand. the united kingdom . and the panoramic is partly to blame for that because of covered restrictions. british actors, you make up half of the cost of that spend 2 years in new zealand without seeing their families. i'm as an exec, his. those have been prevented from visiting the sets. amazon says the shift is part of a plan to expand production in the you k use nieland's government says it's disappointed

. and residents of the japanese capital toko, been forced to do a double take. what appeared to be a giant head spotted in the sky. it's actually a hot abilene part of an art project commission for the toko olympic empower and pick games. a 3 person art collective took 3 years to create a massive inflatable head as tall as a 7 story building. it will next look down on the paralympics which begin in 11 days time. still head after 74 year wait a night to remember for the premier league new comments. ah. the news news. news.

his answer was brief. simply saying, killian is our player. we are so exciting to have a missing player. i mean is, what now is the, this is a challenge that, that's start to work. how we won. the way that we won. that is going to be massive. but we have the energy and i think the quality in all the people that the school anymore are on the team that to try that out there for that. the happen manchester city manager pet. guardiola was also in no mood to talk about the possible transfer of tottenham striker harry came. guardiola previously said he'd like to sign the england captain. i asked this question to my progress because conference is a player from doesn't a has 4, so i'm not going to talk about so mid exception the last time.

usually i don't talk about transfers because know my business and, and that's all one player who will not be leaving his club anytime. soon. as liverpool start, virgil vandyke, the influential dutch defenders signed a contract extension which runs until 2025 van dyke has been out since september with a serious knee injury and only recently returned to action in pre season friendlies . meanwhile, liverpool manager, your club, has defended the clubs, lack of transfer activity in the off season compared to some of the other premier league rivals. i'm never surprised about the, the financial power of chelsea or city or united. i'm long enough in the country to know that they always find a solution to do these kind of things. and for us, it's all away. so we keep the team together. that's an important part of business as well, because we can't spend money, we don't have so we can be cannot. maybe others can't, can but be can't. so that's it. that's my information to tennis and so on us, it's

a passive moved into the semi finals of the toronto masters after convincing when over denmark, casper root, the 3rd deed recorded is 45th victory of the even the most by any player on the atp tour. this year it's attached to play american riley upon her 1st spot in the final the women's events being played in montreal and top seed arena sub link marched into the demise after a st. that's when over fellow belushi and victoria as a wrinkle, she now faces another former world number one in curling up. let's go over this year's wimbledon finalist was too strong for spaniard. sarah, for the bus back to football in chelsea. boss thomas to cal expects new recruit ramah lou wilcock who to have a huge impact for the club. the belgian striker will not feature in the blues opening match on saturday. after rejoining the club for reported transfer fee of $135000000.00. he has the power he has the physique of he seek to to help

us. he has experienced a personality to have for huge impact into our squads. he is at the same time a humble guy and a team player true team player. and he cares about chelsea. so we had to feeling everybody that it's, it's worth it to to try and to fight hard. and we're happy that he's our player. now. the spanish league also started on friday and it's a new era in la legal without leonor messy for the 1st time in 17 years. messy has moved to paris. danger man has left a hole in barcelona squad as they get ready to open their campaign on sunday without their record goals score. the catalog giants could not afford to keep the origin time due to a partial loan is huge debts and the spanish li. strict financial control rules. while earlier on we spoke to football writer tony, one, marty from dario, sport, he said, he believes that la legal status is under threat because the top teams will struggle

to compete with the more lucrative clubs all over europe. well, 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 can discuss a lot of goals against them. but the truth is now the spanish lead has a big problem. economically, we have seen much should be sending shark release for more than 100000000 euro. now spanish teams has a lot of problems, but not only by sharon and run. it also be at the algebra. yes. yes, we don't. missy. other beams. we can have many options, but we have to be aware of one fact that realm of it has also lots of rolling to look at their risk. what is not that this was as great as it was a few years ago. i would say that maybe i'd let the go. yes. is happier because she's doing the things properly and they are reciting each same better place. but

what i want to say is yes, but she has not products but also the other clubs. that's why i don't think they are done. they are not going to take profit or benefit with the, you know, messy options. i think they are more or less like buston or with the big can on the 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 she only just deal of 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 and let the gone roemer it 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. well that's it for me and joe. i entered back to miriam in london. thanks leah. that wraps up and he's out.
