killing more than 300 people after the wildfires, turkey now grapple with devastating floods triggered by torrential rain. the rise among opposition supported in zambia as back handed, it takes an only need in the presidential election. me it's 7 30 am in afghanistan, where taliban fighters now claim to have captured the city of july about the capital of non ga how province it was. one of the 2 remaining governments strongholds just a few hours drive away from cobble because of eastern city would mean and other major set back for president are struck down in government and would effectively put the taliban in control of most of the country. earlier the groups fight has seized a hugely important commercial hub and government bastion that his mother sharif, the fall of afghanistan's 4th largest city to the taliban,

puts it in controllable northern provinces. it means as well, cobble is now dangerously within reach of the taliban. so while the afghan government forces crumble in the face of the search, the u. s. is sending thousands of its troops back to the country, but this is to support the ongoing withdrawal and to help evacuate american diplomats and stuff. president joe biden says he will support a political settlement, but in 5th, any assault by the taliban on the u. s. military will be met with what he called a swift and strong response. lots to talk about with charlotte bellis in cobble. now charlotte, let's start with those later cities. the taliban saying it's kept to july about is the confirmation. i was just checking. now we can say that july, the provincial capital of manga ha, has fallen to the telephone. there was some conversation last night that the taliban and the governor of manga when negotiating essentially for

a hand or for there to be very little fight pitches. just coming through now, showing the governor and the taliban sitting together, having tea, and the governor's house this morning. so we can say that that, that city and province has fallen to the taliban. it is the 5th, the biggest city in afghanistan. it lies just to the east of kabul. and it is very bad news for the government because of the 2 things. it cuts them off from pakistan and that was one of the main routes to get trade in and out. that was where most people went back and forth through through talk and crossing that. now last the rows that gets them to talk them crossing, which was a huge source of revenue for them. so there's the score in another province known as landman. that is also reportedly fall into the telephone this morning, although we haven't been able to confirm that. but that is also in the a so quite a stretch of road there. now on the telephone control to the south of cob logo that

fell on friday and to be waste of cobble water. that is under heavy pressure. we understand tele bonner, actually in the city about 45 minutes away the but they haven't fully taken that as yet. so the taliban certainly circling. and then overnight they the government also lost our sharif, which was the only city they still held. and northern afghanistan, very symbolic. i usually that area has been very anti taliban, but the north has just completely fallen at this point. amazon was the only part, still standing with the government. they were to some people might call the war moods or a strong man if you will, who was needing the resistance against the taliban. one man was out of mohammed, nor the other guy was marshal dalston. they had been trying to rally the troops and local app rising movements. they had to keep the telephone out. but it is belief that they lived last night, convoy vehicle slate ac kilometers north to the biggest on board and just got out

of town and fell immediately into taliban hatch. house, astonishing, isn't it? charlotte? cobble itself. then there is clearly a threat to the capital. what's that like there at the moment? well now, as of the last hour, it is the last big city. the government still holds is unbelievable. to think that 9 days ago the taliban didn't hold a single provincial capital and hadn't for 5 years. and now they control most big cities in the country, just like that, and most of them have gone without a fight. they have negotiated the ranges with golf news and then sitting, having to this morning. so cobble, incredibly, incredibly isolated. a lot of people have fled to cobble chains about people from the provinces here. so the city is certainly swelled, and there is a lot of panic. yesterday. there was

a run on the bank. people couldn't get money out of the banks. prices are starting to go up. fuel has doubled in the last couple of months. food prices are on the ticket prices to get out to the main root is from is to assemble and took a share lines. usually about $350.00 to get a flight one way yesterday with $2400.00. that shows you the amount of pressure on people trying to evacuate. it's not just locals that are international. it's a lot of media organizations leaving in jose, leaving not to mention the u. s embassy itself coming right down to critical mission song story. thank you. charlotte. charlotte ellis is reporting from cobble for us. there was now little and have a look at the told us conflicts are taken on all sides involved. the us for a starter has spent more than 2 trillion dollars in this 20 year war and ghana stun, $2400.00 of its troops have been killed around a 1000 nato coalition forces also have died. as for afghan forces,

the government no longer releases its data, but a few years ago, the death toll stood at 45000, and of course civilians caught up in the crossfire the you in estimates for 38000 people have been killed since it started recording that was only in 2009. and how does it all look on the map now? america's longest war 20 years. that's how it's unraveled. in the last 9 days, the gray are areas under the taliban. the yellow under government control, which have been shrinking by the day the read the well, the sort of orange ones, i guess i'll be contested once on shakin with us now national security analyst and research with the institute of world politics on skype from washington d. c. appreciate your time and it's late there. i don't know if you heard charlotte a moment ago saying tea with the taliban effectively. just just handing it over now

. handing over cities in provinces. where is the resistance? i think make this, i think also here in washington department of defense i think we presented by then 2 times mission over. ready the last 2 weeks, always 300000 horses and the big question for everyone. i think for a long time the. ready the west point war. busy college, everyone going to love the research paper. i'm sure it is extraordinary, isn't it? and now all of these extra us troops being sent in, but very much to help with the evacuation of us stuff and to protect the embassy and things that they, they say they'll fight back if they are attacked. but i mean,

they just going to leave the afghan forces and leave cobbled to fall if that's the way it happens. i mean this we had already 2000 done today. ready a prison by then approval to send another additional makes or indeed, mainly for protection of the embassy staff for the not to mation for the contractors. also forget the official immigrants we have holders walker, the da meant to call before the company. is there anyone else who could had enough? i want to say fill the void here, but if the united states is now pulling back this much is their interest from other

countries from pakistan, from china, from, from russia. and then from the measure powers, russia is because sharing the borders not directly with the installation countries when it's done projects done as big sort of course is warranted and monitoring the situation. all. ready of their own problem of insurgency group within russia. but china have long term support government in the last time, the in the fall of on the edition and begin, i believe from the major powers. now the united states is living. nobody been taken over, particularly because russia so again, you and the, you know, don't want to from the regional don't. so you don't, to some extent all the align calling on or at least shooting out

the order with a partner. fortunately, the relation to all call it back for the relations even if the one probably doesn't on the church, could be another muslim nation in the region. unfortunately, even in that case is complicated because the proposal that the turkish government to control the adipose was claimed by the fall of what he strongly rejected. irish, can i just ask you, if you don't mind your personal feelings at the moment you are in africa and yourself, who had to leave the country? how you actually feeling watching this from the far that's what we're talking all about the last and i think we somehow forget about

the human cause. thousands 100002 read now. and there are 304-0000 from the program. couple right now dealing with to 300000 people who couple with low shelters. i have been trying to, why are i was not likely to not be in the middle or we just left before. busy but my last expression from couple 91 was we will be the last couple a report and then they are like respond to continue because there are a couple later or i live with the rocket memory and my. ready memory so it's really personnel. busy to do. 2 differently because we have the social media here and now i'm listening tonight to the club house,

phone precision between people who and madonna are undone the talking. and while you're talking, we are all type of dealing with all the social media becoming but in life and the very difficult for everyone course on us. just a really quick final word on president chef gone. he does, he have to take some responsibility publicly for what's happening at the moment. yeah. who took and responsibility. busy probably another year i personally believe and that's my personal also. so the government is last is doing that. the states and the military teams will also be on the for the us. everyone lives for the

region for managing the process. i believe somehow we need to change the we have now before we get the c c fire at all. so i did present need to resign and somehow. busy busy transferred, you know, they're, they're probably a temporary government. the sooner lot doesn't matter. i think that will be a good fit to do it. i wish i can. thank you so much for your time and in for your personal views as well. we really appreciate it. thanks so much. thank you. the rest of the day's news is coming up a special report on why how to study and n g o are increasingly finding themselves targets of israeli military rates and the rest of the day.

the hello there, let start in north america where that exceptional and dangerous heat is the main weather story. not just along the western areas, but also along that east coast. we've seen temperatures, klein, and those hot and dry conditions are continuing to fuel wildfires. not only in the north west of the us, but also in western parts of canada, and that's affecting the air quality. now the heat is going to continue over the next few days, but temperatures are going to come down, particularly across the east coast. as we go into next week, what's, what weather on the way we could see severe storms rolling all the way down to the deep south with texas expecting see some really severe weather. but the heat does continue for the north. west is further south. we are seeing those rains kick in

the monsoon rains, have cost and flash flooding across parts of arizona and new mexico. we could see more as the rains continue to fall and it's going to be very wet indeed for parts of florida. that's thanks to tropical storm fred, as it makes its way across the florida keys towards those gulf states. we could see up to 200 millimeters of rain dumped in areas here. we have got a tropical storm, a let out for southern parts of florida where that rain is expected to fall rather heavily. the on counting the costs of europe paint funds to fight terrorism and counter china and russia in africa. activists say they'll provide weapons to dictate the climate emergency costing billions, placing 1000000 counting the costs. well, now just in my life, i know you mentioned that open your eyes. i was guy on

me. oh, the me without the euro. and the top story this, our calls have gone to start with the taliban fighters have kept to the city of july. it was one of the 2 remaining government strongholds. and just a few hours drive from the capital campbell group, taking control of most of our kind of thumbs and b. u. s. began withdrawing and troops hours earlier fighters. these to hugely important commercial have been a government baskin mother to sherry. the fall of afghan sounds full, largest city to the taliban means cobble is dangerously close within reach of the

group. the rest of the days news now and more than 300 people have been killed in haiti after a magnitude 7.2 quake hundreds more. are either angel missing. a major search and rescue operation is on the way the, the center of the quake about a 160 kilometers west of the capitol porter. prince eighty's prime minister, has declared a state of emergency and says, there is enormous damage for you. i guess i will make an evaluation. we were told that a lot of damage, people were dead and houses, hospitals and infrastructures collapsed. i will check to see what can be done to organize assistance on monday, i'm assuming i did miss. we are calling for a lot of solidarity, but highly structured solidarity. we are setting up a task force to coordinate the aid, so that what happened after the 2010 earthquake is not repeated again. more on this story from the buck. oh, it was alive and clearly exhausted.

a young woman and a child, a pulled from the rubble moment up to the massive earthquake homes and businesses lie flattened. the 7.2 magnitude quake struck at 8 30 in the morning, sending people out into the streets in panic. it was followed 20 minutes later by 5.2 magnitude to shock the tremors across the caribbean. and as far away the southern florida, the epa centers in the country's western tip around a 160 kilometers from a densely populated capital porter print. the poor, the brunt of the last major earthquake in 2010. the left hundreds of thousands of people dead. one and a half 1000000 people homeless. this latest quake is more powerful, but we don't get know how deadly that's larger than the 7 point. 2010 killed over 200000 people. mother doesn't sound like

a huge difference in the size of the earthquake us about 2 times the energy release . right, our impact estimates are catastrophic. i mean, if it's a devastating earthquake with potential of time to hundreds of thousands of people, fatalities, the pay t is one of the poor countries in the world and play by worsening instability and violence of the assassination of the countries president last month. haiti's also struggle to control the surgeon cove, in 19 cases in a country where a quarter of the population live in abject poverty. and now, this pocket, i'll just red cross so that these 20 people have been killed in an explosion in northern lebanon, happened to fuel storage facility in a car region. dozens have been injured now being taken to tripoli for treatment due to a lack of medical facilities in the area. lebanese medias to the cause of the explosion is not yet clear. dan b as opposition leader. okay,

in day his dilemma has taken the lead in his 6th attempt to become the country's president incumbent liter eco longer is trailing after voting. finished on friday. with final results not expected until sunday. at the earliest results from rural areas will take longer to arrive longer running for a 2nd term. his opponent is criticized his management of the economy, which is badly hit by the pandemic. social media access, which was cut for most people during the vote, has now been largely restored, more from hot him. it's also in the sucker we're hearing that it could be a while before the final results released probably a day or 2. but the results, we still find the case that opposition gained a lot is leading for not what that could change in africa. normally when adults are being released election results, they usually start with the urban areas because this but just to clear just bit at the handle, they come in for the urban areas where the opposition usually has a lot of support them in, in a few hours or a day or so,

the rural votes coming in and that's the governing party normally have support. that's where in many african countries like zambia more people seem to live. and that's way president lou who is hoping to get all the loss of his votes from the commission say that the reason why it's taking so long to announce or the result is because it's a manual counting process. so it's going to take time in some areas are remote, they're hoping they say to relieve all the results by sunday, but with the delays we be seeing it could be wrong of them that a day or 2. the general moods in the country is that of anxiety of people wait with the final result. if the com pin is a 10th. com here in the sock, i mean for example, on friday and even sometimes a day when a people see soldiers a dry past. you see some people looking a bit worried, palestinian n g o z and say there is a growing campaign,

violations. that's why israel is trying to silence us. we've been working for 30 years. it's the 1st time we've had our office rated. they've heard the army ordered the closer up to palestinian organizations, including the health work committees, but agency refused to comply every open the door, the defiance later its director was arrested. and it's now the precinct minutes was trial. palestinians and civil society say the pressure against them is growing and could effect the humanitarian work here and abroad. neither ever him al jazeera, the occupied westbank floods in northern turkey. you have killed at least 44 people, volunteers and emergency workers and are rushing to supply aid to people who are affected has been particularly severe damage reported in the black sea town of both court. julian wolf has our report. first fires, then flood, hopes are dwindling in this town. that missing loved ones will still be alive.
