which the us geological survey measured at 7.2. and as you said, some 160 kilometers away from the capital city. now of course haiti has still not recovered from the last earthquake that hit in 2010. also a magnitude 7 that killed more than 220000 people. so as we still get these details and certainly this is a country that was not prepared for this, that is also struggling with it political crisis now 5 weeks since the president was assassinated, latest from that, the judge investigating that presidential fascination having resigned on friday after his chief clerk was apparently killed for those efforts. peter, heidi, as soon as you know, any more information do come right back to us, but in the meantime, thank you very much. hi, joe castro, the reporting on that breaking story out of a t v. a washington o at

the taliban take city to city and f canister on the president and frank ghani has made his 1st public comment. in days he appeared in a brief video filled in kabul. which being encircled by taliban fighters, defiant donnie bout not to give up on what his country has achieved in the past 20 years to an accident. i am not going to allow this imposed war now, nation to lead, to more bloodshed, and to losing the gains of our last 2 decades and damages to our public goods and infrastructure. because of this, i've carried out widespread comprehensive consultations with representatives of the people and leaders by hand without international partner, in consultation to be carried out in a speedy manner. well sherona cobble is one of 2 provincial capitals to fall as of saturday, making 20 in all over the past week taliban video does appear to show inmates been released from a shower in a prison with offensive grinding on people, a scramble, scrambling for safety. the u. n is wanting of an unfolding,

humanitarian catastrophe. now here's the map of afghanistan as it stands to day right now, shaded in red, all the provinces, whose capitals have been taken over by the taliban in the past day or so. the latest is acid about in the eastern province of kona and there's heavy fighting in mazata sharif. the afghan government last being still big stronghold in the north. shallow bellis joins his life from cobble sharlack. what, what we'll talk about the taliban gains and just a 2nd. if we can, mister gone. he's very brief. televised address. is he looking like a man that's in charge in control of his military and his government? or is he looking a little bit isolated and a little bit cut off? i think he was trying to show that he wasn't isolated and cut off by giving this surgery today. it's the 1st time we've seen him speak and about a week now. and in this speech, he tried to offer support to his citizens. he said, i am trying to avoid the bloodshed. i,

he said there are consultations ongoing with local and international leaders. and we understand that when he says i'm trying to avoid bloodshed that, and both these negotiations and consult patients with, with all these different parties that he's trying to find a way out of this. even though these negotiations very much as we understand and looking at his future specifically and whether he will be able to stay on as president taliban certainly don't want him to stay on his president. they have refused to negotiate with the government. with him at the home in the past and they are essentially undermining him today. they had is mel. com come to deliver a message on behalf of the taliban. now he is a very well known leader from harass and the waste is very anti taliban. but when herat fell a couple of days ago, he surrendered to the taliban. enough seemed to him to cobble with his message since you trying to get other government leaders to join beam and move away from gandhi. and then he's also facing

a heap of fresher as the taliban just steam roll across the country. $21.00 provincial capitals have now fallen and 8 days to the group. controlling about 2 thirds of the country and closing in on cobble. do you get the sense where you are, charlotte, the, for the taliban. the mindset almost is we're in this until we get to the end game and the end game for there might be we don't take cobble, but we surround it. we encircle it, and we just sit there waiting for mr. ghani to do what they want him to do because they wanted him to go to be gone for a long time. now. they have, i mean i've talked to some taliban contacts who have say that she that is exec strategy that we do initially it was will take rule areas and see how we go with the, the negotiating table. then they didn't get much traction. and in the us started it strikes and they said, okay, we'll move into the provincial capitals and we'll pressure the cities then we'll see how we go. they still didn't get any traction. neither h in closer to cobble. and now we're starting to see the government really pay

attention and start to realize that we really need to come to some type of political settlement because they're losing leverage every day. i mean, we said 21 provincial capital. they actually have one more to add to that we just and just before we came on ear, god in the provincial capital of pack to you, we understand that fell also another one ferry of the province. that we understand the telephone, a broken, a prison in the provincial capital there, so they're not stopping. but as i understand it through talking to some context within the movement, they do not want to take cobble by force. they want some type of negotiation in order to get legitimacy with the international community. and then that is the stage we're at now with these talks going on behind, closed doors about watch was kind of future will hold here in cobble. charlotte, thank you so much. charlotte bellis. the joins live from couple foreign ministers. met the taliban delegation in dough half for

a follow up on talks being held. they're aimed at ending the fighting the foreign ministry and how released a statement urging the taliban to reduce escalation and accept a ceasefire. taliban and afghan government officials in the hall so far have failed to reach an agreement. how soon are he me is assistant professor of law at the american university of afghanistan. he says, connie will have a difficult time keeping his promises he was talking about in the televised address . he's not in control anymore and it's not about prison gunny anymore. it's about making the transition as blood loosely as orderly and as soon as possible. the fight is at the doors of cobble. i mean you're reporting show that the cobble is being in circle and a time is not undergo under government time. the government, the bridge is shrinking and there is heavy fighting and happen happening in missouri. if missouri falls and if cobble falls under pressure, then the all hope for a political settlement, all hopes for
