[000:00:00;00] ah, ah oh i taliban fighters capture july about almost without a fight and phase one of the major border crossings with pakistan. there is no fear and panic and carpet with residence, stalking up in what is the last remaining 50 under government control? ah. then i'm can all santa maria here in the world news from al jazeera in

a powerful magnitude. 7.2. earthquake is struck, hazy, killing more than 300 people. after the while 5 turkey now grappled with flood, figured by torrential rain, expelled and abandoned by the us, hundreds of refugees and migrants. having turned back without the champ refund, me moving fast enough. got to stop this sunday. taliban fighters have not kept to the city of july about the capital of manga province. it was one of 2 remaining governments strongholds and it's just a few hours drive from the capital cobble. the collapse of eastern city leaves only cobble as the major was as the last night. just said he, i should say under government control, the group is also sees one of the largest border crossings with pockets done that capture of telecom means the town about now controls all of that kind of stuff. major board posts before this. the taliban fight as these to hugely important

commercial hub and a pro government bastion mother sharif that gave the group control over the north of the country as we said, cobble now dangerously within reach of the on group. but while the government forces crumble in the face of the search, the u. s. a sending thousands of its troops back to afghanistan, but this is to support the ongoing withdrawl into help evacuate american diplomats and stuff. president joe biden says he will support a political settlement, but insists any assaults by the taliban on the u. s. military would be met with what he called a swift and strong response. let's just have a quick look at the map. all of those regions marked in gray, 24 out of 34 are now under taliban control. adding the cities as you saw, missouri sharif in the north july above to the east cobble remains in government held areas. but for how long it's going to charlotte, bella, she's in cobble force is

a lot to go through with you. charlotte. i want to do one by one border crossings. first of all, talk. com is extremely important. but i think the bigger picture that basically the taliban now controlled every border crossing is that right? every major border crossing us and talk them is the most important border crossing that the government had been clinging onto. because is the main supply route because most goods come and go from pocket on from talk and, and then through those, province's lockman and then go into council and the telephone had taken both of those provinces and the crossing, which puts cobble and a very difficult position in terms of getting supplies in and out, we understand that government forces flayed to come crossing around midnight. and then they were not sure where they went to, but they abandoned their posts and then the telephone and claiming they are in control of it. as far as now how goes just to the with the governor was

seen to be having tea with the telephone this morning. we understand he negotiated a surrender, essentially handing over the keys to taliban, announcing a new governor, and then go javier this morning. so nangle half foul with very little fight july about the provincial capital. there is a major city which means now that that is full and ca, who is the only main city that the government still holds. and then lockman, which is directly mixed chicago, that also fell. my producer actually drove into town this morning from that direction. he had to wait for a couple of hours because he said there was a convoy of more than 40 vehicles, full of african security forces streaming out like men and coming back to cobble actually fleeing lachman. he said they will in d. s, which is the intelligence of the security forces. so a lot, a lot of action and the a this morning, very significant for the government. a huge strategic loss. and then that's just less than 12 hours after the last massage race,

which is the biggest city in the north. it was the loss if you still and the government controls now. taliban, controlling all of the north government forces, there are leads and north out of the city along with us. i'm a home a new and marshal dawson, who had a big kind of, some people might call them all that big resistance. lead is who'd been fighting to keep the taliban out. they also slate. and those videos have been on a bridge trying to get into it. because don, last night and so this puts all the pressure in charlotte on cobble which is as the capital in a place where the seat of government and embassies in the leica is presumably very well protected and fortified. but there must be a question about how long it is till couple falls if it will fall just because of the she a speed of what the taliban is doing in the fact that a place like july le bud. as you say to you with the taliban handing over the case . exactly. yeah,

i think there's negotiation going on behind the scenes. the tele bond had told me that they do not want to take carbon by force and we understand talk. the ongoing president ghani gave an address to the nation yesterday where he was expected to reside. but he didn't. and this, the speech was very watered down, but he did say consultations are ongoing with local and international partners to start any further bloodshed. and we understand that translates to negotiations in terms of his future. specifically, because the tele bond refusing to negotiate with the government with him at the home. but certainly the government is under a lot of pressure. they are losing their leverage every day, every province, that foods, they have very little bargaining power now. but the telephone do want legitimacy from the, from international parties. and if they take how, who, by force, it's very hard for them to gain that legitimacy. so they want to be seen to be talking, at least some was over afghanistan. what kind of political meant,

what the arrangement will be if they can fold in government people, but certainly they have the line chair power at this point. ok, thank you for less updates you and the team stay safe. ok. charlotte burleson? cobble? sure. we'll be back to have kind of sunlight it, but we'll look at some other news for now. more than 300 people killed in haiti after magnitude 7.2 earthquake, hundreds more. are either injured or missing. a major search and rescue operation is under way. the center of that quake about 160 kilometers west of the capitol porter, prince haiti's prime minister, declared a state of emergency and says, there is enormous damage for you. i guess i will make an evaluation. we were told there is 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 the haiti earthquake now in this report from the barker was just beginning, alive and clearly exhausted. the young woman and the child uphold from the rubble moments after 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. after short, the tremors felt across the caribbean, and as far away the southern florida, the epa centers in the countries 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, and one and a half 1000000 people homeless. this latest quake is more powerful, but we don't know how deadly other that's larger than the 7.0 in 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 now our impact estimates are catastrophic. i mean, if it's a devastating earthquake potential of 10 to hundreds of thousands of people, fatalities, the pay t is $1.00 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 a surgeon cove and 19 cases in a country where a quarter of the population live in abject poverty. and now this al jazeera,

the red cross says that these 20 people have been killed in an explosion in northern lebanon, so that a fuel storage facility and a counter region. dozens have been injured and have been taken to tripoli for treatment because there's a lack of medical facilities in the area. that means media says the cause of the explosion is not yet clear. then be as our position leader hockey in day, he shall emma has taken the lead in his 6th attempt to become the country's president. the incumbent edgar longer is trailing after voting, finished on friday, with final results not expected until today. sunday, at the earliest actually results from rural areas take longer to arrive. luke is running for a 2nd term. president's opponent has criticized him, though. was management of the economy, which was badly hit by the pandemic. social media access was cut for most people during the vote, but it has now been largely restored. it's more from how much hostage she's reporting from the sucker we 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, but that could change in africa. normally when adults are being least election results, they usually start with the urban areas. could this but just to clear just bit at the handle they come in for 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 cousins 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. it's a. 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. ivory coast is reporting its 1st case of a bowler in more than 25 years. the health ministry says a patient being treated in hospital and the commercial capital, avi john tested positive. after arriving from getting on thursday. the travel by road medical staff are trying to determine if the cases linked to an a bowl. the outbreak in guinea earlier in the year in the news a heads, we will update the real ambient. told you about that story just a moment ago, the candidate taking an early late death and official report and what palestinian

n g o z are increasingly finding themselves the targets of israeli military re ah hello there. it's looking hot, dry and pretty quiet for much of the levant and the middle east in the days to come . temperatures have down in iraq and to wait. there are where we expect them to be . but the heat is still there. got to shema when that's going to blow down across iraq, and that's going to kick up some dust for q wait for could talk and into parts of saudi arabia. so there'll be plenty of hazy sunshine come monday. we've got a strong southwesterly breeze keeping things cool. along the coastal areas of amman and yemen, and a few showers across the mountainous region of yemen, trickling into saudi arabia and those join up with the strongest storms across that band in central africa,

some heavy falls expected for south sudan as well as the cameroon. and my cheerio, by the time we get into monday, we could see more flooding here. now as we head to southern africa, we are seeing the wet weather across pots of mozambique, edging into eastern areas of zim bob way. and for south africa, the interior that seemed some wet and windy weather with some of the snow falling in high areas in s, what teeny. but as we go into monday, it does ease off to that east coast. and there'll be plenty of sunshine coming through for cape town and for johannesburg, that weather the if you are looking at this from the outside, you would really wonder what was going on, what, what is this? is it a religion that they have an in depth exploration of global capitalism on our obsession with economic growth? this is still the center of capitalism. there is no limits. i view myself as

a capital artist we are trying to bake as well as smaller and smaller. we don't want to be so realistic in the world. we would rather have a fantasy growing pains on al jazeera. oh, a get you caught up on what's happening in afghanistan on the taliban fight as of now capture the city of july, about one of 2 remaining government strong polls and just a few hours drive away from cobble. the group is taking tell of, most of that kind of stuff in the u. s. began with during training hours early and i see the huge the important commercial hub and government bastion sharif full of

back up some hope. largest city means the capital cobble is not dangerously within reach of. meanwhile, the usaa sending thousands of its troops fair to support the ongoing troll when to help evacuate american diplomats and stuff also to help afghans who worked for them and the families to get out of the country. but lydia molina said, spoke to david death roach, who david roach, who is a professor at the national defense university and a foreman major operations director. he explained how the conflict could play out. so it is a critical moment. i mean this, the collapse, the african government has been unexpected, unexpectedly rapid. and it's also been an areas that you don't expect it normally that the taliban is. passion, movement is hearts. but what they've been able to do is form alliances with leaders from other ethnic groups of beliefs in numerous province the respects and share begun province. and they've been able to, in effect,

isolate the government of afghan garrison's. and for the most part, been able to just get them to surrender and conquer these capitals without shots being fired. is the full of couple now inevitable? i don't think it is no. what we're seeing is remote garrisons in isolated areas that are ethnically different from them for the most part. and that, you know, we're unwilling to risk their lives for regime that, you know, are leaders that have proven unable to support them. but as the, the movement goes into cobble, what you're getting is the hard core of well trained people, the special forces, the african forces. and you're also getting people who know that their, their livelihood is not going to be very long under a taliban leaderships. we've really overlooked just how brutal taliban government could be. so i think we're likely to see more orchestrated military activity from cobble up till now. this is mostly been about forces retreating or changing sides.

you say that there is the fear though, i've been wolf and preventing a bloodshed in the capital. is it possible though that cobble will just be handed over to the taliban? it is possible, you know, and i was surprised by the rapid advance, particularly in the north of afghanistan. so it is possible, but i think it's less likely i don't think you can just just, you know, just just draw straight line from say the fall of his r sharif to the fall call. but i think the call is quantitatively different. and i think that the nature of the afghan forces in cobble are different from we've seen in the rest of the country. but i've been surprised before. what you think has gone wrong? because the ask on army, we know have a capable air force something the taliban doesn't have. they have molten equipment . i've been trained for 20 years by the us and the americans. why has none of them? none of that actually mattered when it's come to this battle. well, they didn't have a capable air force, i mean they had

a small air force that was extremely dependent upon us logistics and support. i think what happened was that the rapid withdrawl of us support, particular logistics support had a definite tackle impact. but i think it also had and will be arguing over this for years, a morale impact it kind of created the, the idea that the fall of the african girl was inevitable. and nobody wanted to be the last guy to die in the last cause. so i think that, you know, it might be the right decision to withdraw from afghanistan, but i think it was definitely done in the wrong way. and i think that a lot of the actions that the us government is taking probably for good reasons, but they have the inadvertent effective further undermining morales. what we're seeing here is not so much you know, military victory. in many instances, smaller taliban forces are taking provinces from larger african forces. what we're seeing is collapse of morale and a failure of leadership. the other problem is the united states and its partners never really confronted corruption in,

in the african government. and what you're seeing now are garrisons just stopped getting supplies, you know, leaving, and you know, that's the problem that we never really faced up to squarely how the city of n g o is the say. there is a growing campaign to stop them from operating the occupied westbank is already false, as of right at the offices of 5 palestinian organizations since the beginning of this year to have been ordered to shut down this report from nearly abraham in hebron. the hello car has been able to farm his land with the help of a dutch funded project, but the aide is drawing up. he's been growing heirloom seeds and selling them to a local organization supporting farmers in the occupied west bank. past any have been relying on international aid for developing projects that helps the theme. they're struggling economy. i mean we, i said i didn't know the end of all that was that, that income my work would suffer a limb said that i grow help other pharmacy can buy expensive seats from israel.

last year, the dutch government suspended its funds and opened an investigation, accusing the organisation of having links to a palestinian political party. come, let's hear the new book, the campaign against us is not new. they targeted because we focus our work in areas under is really controlled where most palestinian agricultural lands or farmers are trying to develop the land. but the israelis are trying to take it over and push them out. jonas miller says, his institute has been urging donors to cut off 8 to palestinian, and joe's. he says, some are linked to attacks against israelis. these really security services have increasingly shown that there is a deliberate plot on the part of some palestinian and jose to use money that they've been given for humanitarian aid purposes. and they've hurt that towards terrorism. many past indians like had, it was more to say the main goal of these campaigns is to back them into

a corner. these ready army rated the officers of defense for children international and july, and confiscated the files and computers. and i'm of, you know, the addy few, williamson, there's an increasing awareness in international community regarding the israeli 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. now. this is where 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, it's 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, have killed at least 44 people, volunteers and emergency workers, and are rushing to get aid to people who are affected. there's been severe damage,

just like that. it's all happening under us health provision tied to $42.00, being used in the panoramic to turn, but migrants without allowing them to us for asylum. now they've been dropped here, even though they don't really know where here is no way, you know, somebody says on the evidence that i'm not i don't really know this part of the border. helen told us her family was from the pretend department. afterwards i found out that was a 15 hour drive away. i was through at the time how she get home because most of him with the most in the movie narrows. i don't know because i've got new money. the took us by surprise to saying, go now us, he's struggling with high buddha numbers and over crowding in its facilities. it's told people not come. i want to be clear to folks in this region who are thinking about making that dangerous track to the united states. mexico board or

do not come do not come. that's being drowned and see if misinformation in facebook, fornes and from people smugglers who profit from those desperate for a better life. they charged will be more than $10000.00 to take. you know, he was betting and reaching the states to pay that money back. now he has to do it in a country where he can't find work. again was that i was a man or not employed amal? there's no money. so we go north trying for a better future of our children. we don't have money to get them to school. now we're coming back with a big debt and without money or work. he has his son, little wilbur with him, was 2 other siblings still stateside with their mother. we left and trying to find a way back to his home 6 hours away. the end of the flights for this evening at least. but for the people and the other side of that bridge, back in guatemala, it's just going to be the start of working out how to get home. and in many of their cases, how are they going to start paying off the amount of money that they boards pay people smuggler to get them to the united states. so then this is far from the end
