the climate emergency costing billions, placing 1000000 counting the call call. now just ah, me baton bon takes control of every big 50 enough can't stand apart from cobble. but now fighters are entering the province but home to the capital. as they advance helicopters of been landing and taking off me the u . s. embassy, cobble to fly out. ah, i'm sammy's a dan. this is i'll just, they are alive from dell hall. so coming up more than 300 people killed. dr. la jones craig hits waste of haiti's capital. at least 20 people are killed in a fuel explosion in northern lebanon.

ah, the tiny bonnet captured its 1st district inside afghanistan cobble province, giving it a hold there for the 1st time since 2001. the armed groups also taken control of every major border crossing in the country. the last to be seized was the crossing . i told him, it's one of the largest gateways between afghanistan and pakistan. for many cobble apple, it is becoming the only escape route, but few have the resources to actually use it off the days of rapid gains by the taliban cobble is now the only major city under government control fleeing afghans have been heading there in search of refuge with a capital became the last government strong haul after the fall of gyla by the large city in the east. because map now 26,

so i've counted stands 34 provincial capitals are under taliban control. these provinces are highlighted in grey and the arm group is also claiming another cobble, as you can see, is largely encircled. we have 2 correspondence following developments. come on. hi, that will tell us more about the border crossing with pakistan. but 1st, charlotte malice joins us live from cobble. so now for the 1st time we have the bond world 1st time in decades we have a ton of on taking control of a part of cobble province. that must be very alarming development for security forces there. what, what kind of posture are they taking and for residence income? well, we've only just had this confirmed in the last hour that they have taken over the road, the district and the thought east of cobbled provence they are claiming to have taken control of 2 other districts within cobble problems. that is by grommet, which is actually much closer to cobble city and another district to the north

whose kara back. but we cannot independently confirm those 2. we can confirm they've moved into the robi, the 1st time that they have controlled a district within cobbled since the us invasion in 2001. when i've talked to taliban context this morning and said, what does this mean? chicago city, they say we are not going to cobbled city yet, but we are pushing since you putting the pressure on the government here, they really want to see should have gone a step aside. they, they tell me at least that they want to military. they don't want to military solution to cobble that. they want to negotiate for it, but they are certainly putting pressure on by moving into the district quite unprecedented this morning. and it's not the are in the games that they have made overnight. they've picked up another 5 provinces that picked up lockman. we just got confirmed host in the east ward at dyke one day and more. most importantly,

manga ha, with provincial capitalist, gyla bad. it is a major city. they claims that overnight. they actually did a deal with the gulf nowhere essentially he surrendered and there was pictures of them having a cup of tea this morning in july. so now they have control of that. and that means that for the african government, the only city they have left in their hands is cobble. and this is all happens in 9 days. they picked up all of these prevention capitals since last friday. and how people react in their, in cobble it's, it's incredibly team and they are a real, a fix. for example, yesterday there was a run on the banks. people finding it very difficult to get money out of the banks . fuel prices have been going out for a couple of months, but now food prices are starting to go up to with just with all the roads the disruption on the roads trying to get supplies and enough ticket prices. one of the main routes out of cobble is, is symbol one took a share lines,

usually about $350.00 prices to get a ticket out, $2400.00. now, even the prices of book is a going off. the people in cobble consider the fact that they may need to have a book if they're going to be living on the telephone control and prices have started to go up on those on let's thank charlotte balance very much for that reporting from cobble as continue this now we've come out high that he joins us from a slam about and the latest development, it's kind of hard to keep up with them. come all but now you've got from total home crossing to july le, bad under taliban control, that's the main artery linking pakistan and afghanistan. right. how significant is that? well 1st of all, i like to come to that shock because i don't know of next on i know been following the events knew that the writing was on the wall and it was

a matter of time before the dollar bond or take this key crouching at dot com now told me to send shirley a major gateway and do a lot of donald or just a really supported the nato. a us led war. i further enough runners on supplies called bud july. the bod, men populated cities. however, their tension from the 4 days that we have received a red flag the boarded it quite badly. the avalon dollar bond, according to their board, took the outskirts of the tor come and took off what certain key fortified positions after which they sent their message. the avalon army and a dollar bon, interacting with each other and very conciliatory norco themes that quite door part gets done of god. i like the rest of the world. what, what is water and it's done. good fellow. war and refugee would be crouching day,

of course, our boys today called major necessary to control that. but it appeared where each putting day that the dollar bon gains up being accepted by the people we had all that did business as usual. although the boarders closed at the moment, we expect that it will be open because dictated and arterial route that supplies of one asked on particularly car. but it, and that you saw in charlotte report the stockpiles food shows up, got the price is going up because of the fight didn't expect ation will be that the traffic. sure, great deal, man trade should continue in order to keep up the supply line open to cobble and director of one is on. all right, thanks so much. come on. hi there from it's my, my bad. how do i know haney is an assistant professor of laura at the american university of of janice time, joins us home. skype from is stumble. good to have you with us situation clearly rapidly deteriorating full government forces?

i think a key question now is how much international support is there really for a shrub, connie? i think that's not really the question. i think any is not the relevant or any more . the question is whether the national community can for amongst enough pressure and what are the bond will actually consider is nationalism it be. and the literacy important enough to make an deal to cobble. and they are broad based, negotiate broad negotiations happening inside the country of the law. the law that every conclusion console is the person talking to different people out the day was meeting with prison from a prison cause i under actors, there is there in the pop up a group and traveling to do odd to finalize the deal the time is

running out the government leverage and almost what you're saying is basically the president who's history. everybody knows that the international will is not interested in him. how much then? how much readiness is that in the international will to recognise and deal with a tiny bon dominated if not, tommy bon, entitled, a bon administration in cobble. what's your reading of the talks that are going on? i think what is your national community is offering? we have to be clear that we may different regional after me being an independent signal. why not to meet you? i mean, united nation, united states and europe, they're basically filling the bond. if you want to have a chance for international legitimacy, you have to make a deal over a possible meaning you have to share power in some way and you have to nod, take over, cobble by force. that's been the message whether the alibi wold he'd that call is

not clear also that the creation deteriorating. maybe one will not have a choice anymore. maybe the situation would become unmanageable for anyone. because fighting and you're reporting that the couple even critical all but it may crumble and made crumbled before anyone can actually make a deal. the time is running out and you have to be like probably not a lot of really not probably not any other city. it's a video 5000000 people. it's huge. and even because if the price isn't become is not orderly, it's not done orderly. if it's not done properly, there is a lot to be lost. human costs going to be great. economy cost going to be great at the destruction of whatever the domestic public and private property is going to be . great time is running out. and although all of them are pressuring and they may the main video public which are basically the doorstep, they may not have

a toy in the situation to order. and the part of the, the political leader. how do have to, at this point, or it or not the all for the sake of people make a deal and makes a transition orderly. so lovely. and i'd love to see as possible, aren't all indications ready? pointing in that direction. i mean, if you list the fact as you point to that, if you just look at some of the, the talks which are going on the trips which are going on where the dollar is. he's obviously an ethnic tragic. the, the, the mediation by smile hung between the taliban and jamaica semi l stroke. northern alliance. doesn't it look like really some kind of understanding is coming together? i mean that's, i think that's the only option left and of on. i mean, it is the, i think a lot of it is going to come down to tell about how much you're a stranger going to show much. but it will show because if they force military take

over, they will lose domestic list them at the agile of internationalism. and you have to realize that the government can call it and take over the government by force. there will be seen, at least in the eyes of many and if are going to do the others want to deal with a tod bowen, abdur, rashid, just, um, jamie asked me of the projects, the banks. i mean the question of who is going to be the counterpart itala bond is an important question. i do that because i think penny is no longer relevant. i think the important are to have include the committee, a group of people that will talk 7 could be more, but this going to be it has to be a console. a committee that includes many, i'm not on all about the individual that may not be important, but maybe do something, not on the committee. maybe i tell you not on the committee, maybe it's not the person there, but they will have to support whatever it is. and they may have their people there,

and i think that's the only option left. and it's not a matter of what good or what bad, what deductible is just what possible. and i think everyone, everyone has to think about 5000000 people and how the internally displaced people who are stuffing cobble in cobbled turn into an organ walker side. there are people who don't even have a place to go home and they are intended to talk. they know, go home and just be safe. that's not even possible. there are a lot of bad actors called the call is not a small place. there are a lot of faxes in cobble who they are arm a criminal group. they must be all active in public. there are i see bridge, and this situation cannot be much more cannot be more than that of the situation cannot be much cannot be more dangerous than it is right now at a time is running out. all right, thanks so much for your analysis on that. still ahead on al jazeera,

i am concerned about our kids getting sick and it can be preventable. texas, caesar resurgence in covered 19 cases with children said to go back to school plus . i drove home in edinburgh where the art festival reflects both on this cities, past associations with slavery, and if possible, future of the capital of an independent state. ah hello there. it's all about the exceptional heat across the southern europe as we go into sunday in particular for spain. we've got a heat wave that seeing many of the cities the civil in southern areas. and we could see a temperature record set in cordova as temperatures are expected to rise into the high forty's. now we've got a red alert for southern areas of spain on sunday. the temperatures do come down

talk to al jazeera, we roam, did you want the un to take and who stopped you? we listen. you see the whole infrastructure and being totally destroyed. we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter. on our sierra yields, you can 83rd risk of extinction, emissions wind to read the nation of the predators. sizes one, investigate on out 0. me ah, watching out and is there a time to recap? the headline?

tommy bonfires is claimed to have captured the district inside the province. that homes can sounds capital hours earlier. the arm group took gelatin about in the 8th leaving on the cobble is the only major city on the government control. and the top bond also now holds all of have stands major border crossing along received was that total on the largest gateway 3 and i've gone the standard pockets on now, people in haiti scrambling to pull survivors from collapse buildings after a powerful earthquake, more than 300 people known to have died, but that number has been climbing quickly. the at the center of san today's magnitude 7 tremor was about 160 kilometers west of the capital pool to prince. joshua, i will make an evaluation. we were told there is a lot of damage. people were dead and houses hosp, toes and infrastructures collapsed. i will check to see what can be done to

organize assistance on monday, the, the city that 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 now from things barker was alive and clearly exhausted. a young woman and a child uphold from the rubble moment 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 fell to cross the caribbean. and as far away the southern florida, the centers of the countries western tip around a 160 kilometers from the 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. that 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 10 to hundreds of 1000 people, fatalities, the pay t is one of the poor countries in the world to play by worsting instability and violence of the assassination of the countries president last month. he's also struggle to control the surgeon cove and 19 cases in a country where a quarter of the population live in abject poverty. and now this

i'll just the us state of texas is seeing its highest cove with 19 cases a month. the delta variance sweeps through a largely unvaccinated population. it's particularly bad in houston where hospitals are operating in any full capacity. this, as schools prepared to go back and the governor refuses to allow masks, fill of l reports from tasks texas. everything's bigger in texas, especially the cobra figures. the number continues to grow each and every day. huge state huge such huge division will not supply and my child will be at school without enough. huge problem. houston is in a real mess. hospitals expanding into tense and parking lots taxes, bringing 2 and a half 1000 health workers in from other states. but we need those main numbers here, their highest since january infections through the roof,

vaccinations through the floor, and schools going back in a week. as a parent you feel concerned? are you worried about your kids when they go back? yes, definitely. yeah, definitely. i feel like i want to go to watch to see what's going on, the stadium swapping football, the vaccine, parents, kids, anyone over the age of 12, how old are your 12 so 12, so you've got your vaccine today. yeah. how do you feel about it? i mean, it hurt, but i'm happy because you know, like now i can go to school and i'm not like that scared of getting covered. but i'm still gonna math the math, handing them out along with books and bags controversial in itself because the fight isn't just against it. it's also against the states governor. see greg abbott is refusing to bring a mass mandate and in fact, he's coming even further. he is actively sitting at school and the business that tells its people they've got to wear these things a $1000.00 the time because he says it should be down to personal choice. whereas have heard that the schools are saying, you know what, we're going to tell kids. they have 2 of these. i will see you in court. are you

scared that schools have big issues? now i'm not concerned about that. i am concerned about our kids getting sick and it can be preventable. how concerned about teachers and bus drivers in cafeteria? workers, any janitors getting sick and certainly don't want anybody in and up in the hospital and dies you infections at around 15 and a half 1000 a day in texas right now. that is up 34 percent from last week. more than 90 percent of i see you beds and taken 40 percent of them down to cove it and the majority of them on vaccinated because here in the u. s. is 2nd most populated. site, fewer than half of eligible residents of taken up the offer of the vaccine. so the state, i'm the school squaring up for a fight of wills against the backdrop of a pan demik. and what would you say to greg robert, the governor, governor. we love you. that gives them common sense. phil laval,

isaac, julian tells the story of the former slave and abolitionist. i think the thing that most striking about the, about the work is in some ways it's very much based on the words of frederick douglas that were written in the 1800s. but what is so powerful is the way that those words ring home to us today that there's still the ongoing fight for justice for equality. the theme of minority rights continues at the talbot rice gallery, where the normal features works by 12 artists based on events during the pandemic, the artist initial really reflected the political social, the environmental surroundings that they found themselves within and the work that the created response to the root situation and the communities that the, the park. yeah. one explores what the un described as the hidden pandemic of sexual abuse. and as
