how many nukes is too many new america has in many ways driven the arms race parties are much more like the british parties. now, there are fewer regulation to own a tiger than there are a tone, a dog. how can this be happening? your weekly take on us politics and i see, and that's the bottom line. ah, the tyler bomb advances in afghanistan. foreigners leave the country while afghans look for safety and cobble. ah, i'm family. now, jesse are alive from the hall. so coming up firefighters and volunteers struggle for equipment and support to dallas devastating wildfire. in algeria, the us spends migrants to mexico, southern border,

leaving them to fend for themselves. and as well as government opposition, parties agree to try to work together to take the country out of crisis. ah, a scramble. so safety is underway across again, the standards autonomy bond makes more rapid takeovers of territory, thousands of embassy staff, aid workers, and foreign nationals that trying to secure flights out of cobble for us is sending in additional troops to help evacuate more than 4000 personnel. well, as they leave cobble afghans arriving to the capital from other places, captured by the tall bar, fearful of life under the groups rule, the un is warning of an unfolding humanitarian catastrophe. specifically, reports of the tale bond, severely restricting the rights of women and girls. so here are the latest taliban games. these are all the provincial capitals captured on friday. they include the

key cities of kandahar. i've got to stand 2nd largest, unless called gar. let's go live now to rob mcbride. he joins us from cobble. so let's start, 1st of all, rob, what do we know about reports of mediation effort underway between the tale? bon and the jamaica meals. so known as northern alliance. yeah, this is an interesting development. this all centers around it seems one character, malcolm. now he is a former major head, the commander, a fairly well known figure here in afghanistan, going back a number of decades he fought against the soviets. and then in recent times, given the upsurge and violence, he also led one of the so called uprising forces in the western city of had again against that again against the current violence et cetera. and he has been use been now sort of identified as a possible messenger to bring the message from the taliban. 2 political leaders

here in cobble that it's time to seemingly talk peace. his message is directed the people who would normally the adversaries of the taliban people are linked to the northern alliance and so on. and it does come with an interesting time because of course, the taliban now controlled so many provinces across afghanistan, that it does find itself in a position with all of this political leverage. and it doesn't seem as though it's starting to use this leverage. so the idea is that he has come here that he is now talking about the possibility of peace and then it also it makes the taliban look as though, although they have lots of the been very much possible that this up so doing violence in recent weeks it makes them local, but is the only a broker that they are holding out the hand of friendship. they're saying we all the voice of reason, amongst all of this madness which they have contributed to quite, quite largely. so it's, it's early days to see where these might lead to. it might,

we might be making too much of this, but i think i need talk of diplomacy or any talk of talks. and that politics rather than a sheer brute force and violence would be welcomed, i think in many quarters. meanwhile, talking off the brutes, violence, people continuing to flee the fighting. what's happening to them? whether it is an unfolding catastrophe. as humanitarian organizations have called this, we have seen since the beginning of the year, hundreds of 1000 and some estimates say between 40500000 people. displaced internally within afghanistan. as many of those people are outside in the provinces . but increasingly, people seem to be drawn towards cobble is seen as a place of refuge, a place of relative safety. so you see the, the influx of the people coming into the city in the recent week. so, so we've seen people coming maybe from the north where we've had fighting now that

we've had an uptake in fighting and a surge of fighting in the south, then we'll, we'll expect to see that reflected in, in flux is coming into the south of the city as people arrive here, they are normally, they normally make camp the 1st place they come to within the city limits. the government here is struggling to move them to other temporary camps, which to be honest, a more like permanent semi permanent caps now because they are accommodating people from all of these different episodes of, of violence and warfare that we see over recent said a decade. so the government struggles to cope it is also asking mosques to open up into accommodates and give refuge to people, also asking ordinary citizens to give help and aid. as far as the aid organizations are concerned, they, they also helping that would like to help more. they will probably plan to help more, but for international aid organizations really get involved, they have to have a certain level of stability which you do have to

a certain degree in cobble and surrounding cities and towns, obviously not so much way act in the provinces. so remains of difficult situation and of course, as the humanitarian crisis bills, it adds to this a sense of crisis hearing. cobble itself, rob mcbride, that thanks so much and we'll have more later in the shower about some of the people who fled the tale. bonds advances around the country. un secretary general and tony would tell me molly's calling on the taliban to lay down arms and immediately holt, the offensive our diplomat to get to james base. had this report from the united nations. the sectors general said he believes afghanistan is currently spinning out of control. they're very concerned about some of the figures. for example, 241000 people 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 god is done, and it's people, he's urged to return to diplomacy, and those talks in dough harbor has been an important diplomatic development in recent hours, potentially. and that's concerning is now hon. the commander who was leading government forces in western afghanistan who then surrendered to the taliban. he's now being 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 a transitional government villages now. jerry or are joining emergency crews to try and put out wildfires that have been burning in the north for 3 days. the. the army has been deployed to help fight the 5, but many areas still lack equipment. at least 71 people have been killed. the government says the 5 was started deliberately. 22 people suspected of austin been arrested and there is a lack in material. as you can see, there are only few firefighters we are trying to help. that's it. may god help us and it's progressing. and there is wind, we don't have resources to stop it. people are trying to put out the fires,

some of bleeding, and others have head injuries wasted. russia has expanded a state of emergency in siberia where more than 100 wildfires burning the government is sending aid to its largest region. the republic of stucco, which is also known as the court here nearly $124.00. as far as the raging across 14000 square kilometers, people have been evacuated from several villages. smoke from the 5 is choking the capital. the 2, which is in winter, is often referred to as the coldest city on us. wildfires in california are threatening more than a dozen rural communities and forests bringing the being fuels rather by hot and dry weather conditions. so cold dixie fire in northern california is through an area larger than greater london overall. this is wildfires the ravaged, more than 15000 square kilometers of land across the us so far

and the united states has become flying central americans to southern mexico in an effort to stop them repeatedly trying to cross the us border. it's a move criticized by international rights organizations and the ends refugee agency . john holman, is on mexico southern border with guatemala. you sent us this report. this is just one of the flights that began a week ago, taking migrants turned away by the us. back down to the very south of mexico, the new measure from american authorities is to stop them immediately trying to cross the us border again. the flights a heading to be masa. and here top a jeweler right on the border with guatemala. those getting off and then almost immediately bus further back down the route by mexican authorities into guatemala. it's a coordinated part that sudden reversal of a long hard journey seemed to shock those arriving in temper,

chula oil. it's tough because you have no chance to suffer to get there. every one on this flight was what merlin will reportedly from dawkins and salvadorans have also been returned this way. after their arrival, they were ushered onto the bus. this is where the migrants were left by mexican authorities in the border bridge between mexico behind us was that wait quite remote and they would drop here and just told to go back into their own country. it's not just happening here. what mullen officials told us that mexican authorities, russo dropping migrants that a more remote town called l sable, which they say hasn't got the facilities to handle them. the us is struggling. it's so with high numbers at the border in overcrowded facilities. and the biden administration is using a health provision called ty, 242, to turn people back without giving them the chance to offer asylum. it says the

measure is needed because of the pandemic. both that provision and the increasing flight has got you in refugee agency worry. our concern is that these flights that are sort of a new and really troubling dimension. in enforcement of the states. title, 42 public health order and risk. sending people back precisely to the situation of grave risk that they, they may have despite concerns to their safety. these flights continue to return migrant to an uncertain future code john home and i would just hit a college man. but his wife is government and opposition of math and mexico inching closer to working together and ending

a political and economic crisis. the process is supported by norway, mexico, russia, and the netherlands, our latin america, jealousy, and human reports. the ceremony in mexico city was a solemn, as it was significant delegation leaders representing venezuela's president, nicholas my rudo and the countries principal opposition parties, signed an agreement to initiate negotiations to restore peaceful coexistence in the troubled, torn country. that it was, i can promise you that we have an unbreakable commitment to work as much as needed to reach in accord that will provide our people with a pack for democratic coexistence for the long term and with profound changes in terms of content. that is our goal so that no one will feel defeated, but rather for all to feel included. if they were acting as the facilitator for the negotiations, nor was representative has presented a 7 point agenda. it includes political rights for all respect to human rights and

accountability. and electro guarantees including verifiable, observation, respect to the state of law, and then lifting the beacon on the actions imposed by the international community president, my buddhist representative underscored that his government does not respond to pressure and threats, but rather to dialogue. if they have an opportunity open and this is a golden opportunity to demonstrate that, despite all that has happened in the past, this is a chance to show that we can join forces for the future and reach early agreements and chords is wayland, or undergoing the worst political, economic and social crisis in history. numerous attempts to reach a negotiated solution to venezuela's political confrontation have failed. millions had fled to neighboring countries. in business whaler, many remain skeptical the this time things will be different. but louis of alaska's

still holds on to a glimmer of hope. and since a message to the negotiators, i would tell them to act seriously. i would wish that they would have just a tiny bit of love for their country. our political analyst, recent alone warned that these negotiations are only a starting point. yeah, they can see a probability that missouri will get what he wants to 0. the probability of the opposition will get its way, is also 0, right? that's normal in any negotiation. the question is, how far are they willing to negotiate here? as is to underscore this point, the delegation chief stood far apart, highlighting just how much work needs to be done before any agreement is reached. to see in human al jazeera, still ahead on al jazeera, lacking shelter, and food. nearly half a 1000000 people have fled to taught bonded bog enough gamma sand, plus fighting back. germany's ruling party candid is damning to fend off
