come forward, slash al jazeera english. we understand the different cultures the cost around. what moves wilson, the news and current, does that matter to you? i me the city after city falls to the taliban, which is moving dangerously close to the afghan capital. hundreds of thousands of civilians have been forced to escape. gunners into thrills as yet another yachting and desperate ship. such an incredible treasure. the fort. it's long suffering people after gun he's done, he's spinning out of control. ah,

on come on santa maria, hearing how this is the world news from our firefighters and volunteers struggling for by the equipment and support trying to delta dental setting wildfire. and i'm curious of the month the secret talks, venezuela government and its opponent signed an agreement on future negotiations for years after the early and was months lie does answer an expert just a matter of time before. there was another calamity. ah, hello from africa, security forces have now lost control of more than half the countries. provincial capital is after another day of extraordinary gains by the taliban. here it is on the map. 6 capitals taken on friday, lush giga charge had on tid and caught poly alarm clock and canda harbor total is now at 18 kandahar the spiritual home of the taliban and afghanistan, 2nd largest city, it filled with ours, after the 3rd largest herat beyond group. now effectively controls southern

afghanistan, but the focus is on cobble. of course, as ac kilometers from pull, the alarm is rapid gains by the taliban is just weeks before the u. s. officially complete. its patrol mckenna on washington is, however, spending 3000 troops to speed up the evacuation of its stuff from the embassy in cobble. the u. k. has asked all of its nationals to leave again, its telling me rob mcbride for us this saturday morning. rob the us troops as they arrived or they starting their operation of clearing people out. very good point. we simply don't know. i'll come to that in the 2nd, but i just wanna recap on the situation out in the provinces of what's been happening overnight here. and did the answer to that question is also relatively little. we hear about some fighting down a pack of problems. this is another province south of cobble, quite relatively close to cobble. but there has been some fighting there. but apart

from that, we do get a sense here that this is maybe a breather, insensitive a time for consolidation the taliban and taken. it seems so much a territory in so short a time that he probably needs to guarantee it can hold on to all of these places, extended itself very widely across the country. and you see that in some of the message it's been broadcast by the taliban. we are just getting into the start of the work week here in afghanistan. and the taliban is telling people come back to work. we're now in control. go back to your business is telling government workers they have, they can safely return to work and that we will guarantee your safety. so it's, it's sending a message your business as usual, but under a new flag hoping to consolidate what he's got as far as the us operation is concerned. we understand that much of this is all happening inside how many cars i international airport, which is a huge lea, secure area here, it is very easy for very large operations take place out of public view of the

united states would certainly i think like to keep it that way, the last thing it wants to create is any kind of disorder on rest or even seems of panic. the last thing he wants is a repeat of cycle 75 people rushing for planes. so it is keeping it as low key as possible and i think there is also a sense of embarrassment that after announcing very publicly, we are disengaged, doing and now they're scouting back. it seems with what can best be described as an extraction force because of the deterioration of the situation which arguably they've helped to create by the abrupt departure you would consider yourself fortunate to be able to even be evacuated from. i've got some rub because for basket themselves, not an option, and there is a learning humanitarian crisis as, as a result. that's right. i mean, we have this warning that since it started this year and the surgeon violence of like $400000.00 africans now displaced internally. and we see that in cobble,

i did lightly reflect what fighting is going on outside in the past week or so. we've seen in flux, is of people seeking refuge from the north with the uptake in fighting in the south . we have been seeing and expect to see more people coming from the south. the government here is trying to cope with the a deteriorating situation is ordered most to try to give shelter to people come again. it's or asking old we citizens to help out. but he does all add here to this growing sense of unease growing sense of crisis on the northern edge of cobble a fight for bread among people newly arrived at a food distribution that quickly turns into a free for all this open piece of land has become a make shift camp for people who have nowhere else to go and very little for shelter. obama will not come up, but i don't, i don't that's just i have 2 children with me. this woman tells us out in the open

sun all day. i got new arrivals or encouraged to take buses to temporary camps for internally displaced people or id peas that already exists from previous phases of this decades. long conflict. the makeup of the i, d, p. population in kabul reflects the changing states of the conflict beyond the city limits until relatively recently, most of the i d. p would be from the south escaping the ongoing fighting there. but now that being joined by new comers from the west, unlike these people from the north as a conflict to spread across the country. but from touch are and his family of 10 have been here for 3 days after fleeing the fighting in the northern province of butler. there's madame, yes, i would have said there is no system here and no shelter. there was nothing from the government and i don't know if we'll get help. my name to bull fortunate

arrivals can find refuge in most in the grounds. it's this one. there are 37 other people find room with relatives like peggy jam and her husband who escaped the southern city of laska dela, they're the head of water. there were bombs falling all around my house to the left and to the right. i didn't know what was going on. having worked for both the government and overseas aid organizations, she's afraid she's now a target for the taliban piece and we did out of mind media. hey, i had a good life there. i was thankful to god. i don't know if i can ever go back. i want this, this is what it is. it's a dilemma facing many from all parts of afghanistan with the one goal of getting to cobble, but not knowing what happens after that. so as a to organizations that are warning of it unfolding humanitarian catastrophe. they are providing what support they can. they are pledging both support. but of course,

enable to be able to deliver all this relief. they have to have a certain level of stability and outside of cobble and nearby towns and cities. we certainly don't have that kind of stable situation right now. hoping pride reporting from cobble. thank you for that. rob. the un secretary general antonio terrace has called on the taliban directly to lay down arms and immediately holt, its offensive diplomatic editor james base reports from the united nations. the sectors general said he believes afghanistan is currently spinning out of control. very concerned about some of the figures, for example, 241000 people and now estimated to have fled their homes. he's also concerned about possible war crimes. he says the taliban have been targeting particular groups including women and journalists. and he had this message for the taliban. the message from the international community to those on the warp off path must be

clear. seizing power through military force is a losing proposition that can only lead to prolonged sepia law or to the complete isolation of afghan is done. i call on the tale bound to immediately halt your fancies and to negotiate in good faith. in the interest of afghan is done and it's people his urge to return to diplomacy. and those talks in doe harbor has been an important diplomatic development in recent hours, potentially. and that's concerning is male hon. the commander who was leading government forces in west enough kind of stop who then surrendered to the taliban. he's now been allowed to fly from herat to cobble. and we believe he's carrying a message from the taliban. that message is directed to some of the leaders of what were known as the northern alliance. and it appears that taliban are trying to break them away from the rest of the government in cobble to try and form
