the focus is on getting people out of afghanistan. both are nationals and africa support stop. some countries are going further than that. germany, for instance, adding human rights activists, lawyers, other people that they deem to be at risk from the taliban to their evacuees list. the british are coming up with an emergency resettlement plan that we hope to hear more about today. sensibly aimed at people in the most need, like women and girls. but you know, a lot of countries are simply not going to be keen to help or step in, in any form we've heard from greece. they have an awful experience. they don't want to be on the front line again. this is a gateway country into europe. there are countries like australia who are still even now semantic plans for the deportation of failed afghan asylum seekers. back to afghanistan as a means of deterring future arrival. so this is a huge, a contentious issue in europe over the last few years. it's led to the form of government. it's led to the rise of right wing movements. it just about every

country countries will be on their god. as i said, if not all of them actually actively preparing for what may well be coming their way. right. and as far as nature concerns oldenburg, again pointing to failure at the top enough going to stand and making the point that after all, the millions of dollars that was spent training and equipping the afghan forces, they just didn't have the heart of the fight and gave up and let the taliban in. i mean, it's an enormous lea, a ignominy is end to nato's 20 mission and afghan is a pretty bad moment, frankly, for this mighty trans atlantic military alliance. and that was a pretty down beat jen stoughton burge. i thought, as you say, he seems to be laying the blame at the failure of the african leadership to stand up to the taliban. that led to the not going to failure of the military to fight for their country. he makes the point that it was

a very difficult decision. in point of fact, it was a decision that was made for him by the european allies who decided they couldn't stay after the u. s. decided to leave and he is clearly saying here, questions need to be learn. we need to look at what happened and why and, you know, consider the future, but the whole thing really crystalized by those around the question that was asked by the female. i've got a journalist who broke down in tears and literally begged the secretary general not to recognise this taliban government without conditions in place that would preserve the security of afghan civilians that would preserve the gains of the last 20 to 20 years and particularly look to the safety of women and girls. and really what could he say gen stoughton, but he said we will watch them. we will hold them accountable. the rulers, the new rules of act i've got, i've got to stand, can't simply dismantle the gains of the last 20 as well. the reality is at it is a glaringly obvious one is that they simply probably can and there's very little to

stop them. certainly not at this point nater or john. hi john, how they're in london. the tis an emotion, very much front and center of the situation and i've got this done right now. and girls in west and the western africa and city of herat have very attended school just days off. taliban took over the group says it will ensure inclusiveness for women. despite that strict guidelines on how they should dress like nations is urging the taliban to keep its promises. well, there are huge parts of african has done where the taliban enjoy support from certain ethnic groups. one such area is near the talking border crossing with pakistan. it has now reopened, and there is no rush of people trying to flee as well. hyder explains the main border. crossing red drain, i'll run it on and pockets on the door from it. now open for business. struck have been travelling and board direction. they were apprehension that as the taliban at once across the country, tens of thousands of refugees read for across the border and to budget on. but the

ground reality is ready. different people are living, close it up august on the border, all the way from hillman province to noticed on up in the north. i'm mostly push don't drive. they are got ready to come to dollar bond. they have cleaned a dollar bond roland bought. and what we saw at this border crossing that instead of tens of thousands of on coming across the border, we saw hundreds of ones eager to cross the border and go back to the country. most of the people that we spoke to a half are elated and uber learned read the fact that taliban up back in follow. they on the other hand, do not agree with the international community. and they see a rail vote for the last thing of launch settlement among norman for god to the what we welcome to taliban becky, neck and his tongue as they are the true heroes of the country. and none of them can bring lasting peace to this water country destroyed by many tumble among the

shallow with the last canister in ruins from the last 4 here. firstly, we were made homeless by russians and then the americans. but thank god, finally we've got freedom from their invasion. we trust the taliban and hope they will bring peace, stability, and progress to this country. while the duration on the border was not returning back to normal, there was a frantic diplomatic effort. you're trying to port the leader on the same day, but read the dollar bonds, the former foreign minister of a runner. it's gone so loud in, rob bonnie, it didn't bug it's done along with, you're not gonna need a head of the polymer and an auto mall amongst that group. it presents a minority community. what buckets on i've been telling the dollar bonds that they've been in the government which include all the ethnic groups, run it on their board. it offered a rail vote for the 1st time and 2 decades. for the last 31

conflict, what the budget needs have been. think that dollar bond it that it has to be an inclusive government. that dollar bond volter and now i'm there and said that there will be no retribution, even for those people who've been working with the american well, now joining us of from a couple is mustafah, ben masoud, who's a chief field operations in emergencies. unicef, if in afghanistan, stuff a welcome to the program, 1st will just tell us how things stand from what you're hearing in afghanistan in the projects, the work that you do and what your concerns are. thank you for having me. wheeler situation have started. i love it. in terms of the intensity of the conflict so far, the report that we have from our team on the ground is that the situation is

control alone. no, nor there. i have been reestablish, still confirmed because we still have more than half a 1000000 again that are being push on the road and there and let's talk of them. are children with some concern because the drought is get affecting the country and a 1000000 are in need of not as are you talking about? you're really concerned because the conflict claims the life of 550 children since the beginning of the year. and the lead us too much of a big role in having a number of claiming so it's the highest number that we record, the things we started recording, the number of children killed because of the company. what difference do you think will that change of leadership? enough, get this done, make your operations and all your efforts to help those hundreds of thousands of children who are in such peril. really hope that a previously,

even for us going into the rule and remote area of again, it was challenging because access needed to be go shifted on both sides. we know that there is only one leadership and i've done that. we will be able to re solo that have not been reached in year, and we hope that education will be brought to the most remote communities. i really hope that we will be able to advocate one of the girl you from danica previously or your company did not go ahead fully because there were some risks associated with having to come back to going into some of the places. yeah, they were very much risk indeed from the ton of i'm selves, i think, correct me if i'm wrong. been given the ton of bands. reputation. what's your sense? what are your hopes? how optimistic are you that you will be able to continue with your work in the way

that you have it, and indeed, improvement and such things as a vaccination campaign. so back in december unit to find a working agreement with community based education and to ensure we are remote area and focusing on indications that agreement signed with around the same thought ought to be in in capital. we've had multiple contacts with them. the list of them where today and john about and come out with the end. you are commissioner for those area so far we received reassurance references from them that will be able to review my work and access should be provided you receive guarantee that schools will be reopening and today and primary and secondary school are open. we'll go ahead our community ban indication, and this is from the out of the way to student bolduc our operating today, 1005,

going to children go school and other than 500 or girls. so we're cautiously optimistic that we will be able to carry word and hopefully to expand optimistic, but all you can send given the telephones reputation. and given the fact that without saying certainly the right things at the moment in terms of ordering pledges made about education and goals, education in particular, are you how confident are you that they will continue to respect batches? as time goes on, it wasn't easy to sign the work plan back in december and it was done because we don't even been here for 65 years. we've been the trust and the the revival, national impartial organization. so cautiously optimistic, but yes, we can then just stay and deliver and continue the advocacy for the whole go to go

to school. how worker are back into their office is a teacher. back in the counselor is mr. ben masoud g field of israel, patients of emergencies, unicef enough canister. i appreciate that. thank you so much for your time. thank you. all right, let's move on to other world use now. and survivors of a powerful, a quick and haiti. now having to cope with a tropical storm, heavy rain lash make ship shelters in the southern city of like one of the worst hit areas. 1400 people are known to have died and saturdays quake. thousands more were left homeless. many say they're still waiting great from the government to arrive to get our stock number. what's up? the situation is very hard. i have many children and we're in the rain. i don't even have a piece of plastic to cover us to sleep. we are in the rain, we have no place to go to. school shelter is not open. where are the authorities?

ellis enough and john holman, has more from puerto prince. haiti is still reeling from subsidies earthquake. every day, more bodies are found and the death toll continues to rise. but even in the country moons, those ready lost another potentially ruinous problem has arise tropical storm grief with the risk of flash floods, landslide, and yet more obstacles hampering the search the survivors. it's a fresh challenge for the government and 8 organizations. rudy struggling to get help with disaster area down the road. gangs battling over the view and is allocated $8000000.00 to help or humanitarian colleagues are telling us that access to the southern peninsula where the quake hit is challenging because gangs are controlling movements. haiti's prime minister did make it to the sea front town of like ty, one of the worst effected cities, then even on food. when i arrived in the south of the country, resorted destruction. many houses on steroids rescue teams are working to find

victims and survivors in the rubble. one thing i noticed was the dignity of the people despite the situation. they are affected but resilience, they fight, survive. but even before the storm, the scenes with desperate football fields, bruce with survivors for the shelter with the few belongings they have left. while debbie up at the earth quake, i didn't feel well where the football field our home was destroyed. we can drink the water, and many people are staying here. crisis on top of crisis. last month, the country's president was assassinated. gang violence continues, and in the midst of decoded, 19 pandemic. eighty's only just begun it's vaccination campaign. many heroes, so still traumatized by events further, but the 2010 of the killed hundreds of thousands of people in for to prince. i mean the cup so many people have been sleeping out in the st. worried about the off the

shots from this quite well, they're not going to be able to do that now. the so me here is suffering and the bad news people coming home and how does it for the 1st time? did other states declare the shortage of the largest water reservoir triggering mandates re cuts to some western states? i like me on the colorado river serves about 40000000 people. farmers in arizona are expected to see the biggest drop in the supply. the region is struggling with a drought and rank or high temperatures, which i learned is co director of the u. c. davis center for watershed sciences and a professor of civil and environmental engineering. and he says, major cities have been preparing. this is one of the worst drought years we have on record. and it's probably one of the most extensive years, extensive geographic, extensive drought years on record as well. in california, the 3rd joyous year at more than 100 years of record in terms of precipitation.

it's the 2nd really dry year in a row. last year was also dr. but not quite as dry as this one. so the reservoir levels are all quite low. temperatures from global warming are much higher than they have been historically. and so both for this drought and for the previous drought, we have much more evaporation of water from the landscape before it can reach the reservoirs, which makes the reservoir is extra low for this low amount of facilitation. major cities are pretty well prepared for this route so far they've invested, we have droughts here quite often. so we've done our city water supplies and our ground water aquifers, reservoir systems to handle droughts about like this one, maybe for another year or so from, for most of the sayings where most people lives. and most of the economy is the agricultural sector is the most vulnerable sector in the west and in california.

and it is about 3 percent of the, of the regions economy that are, is going to hit much harder. but fortunately, the rest of the economy should be fairly helping with fighters in spain is scrambling to extinguish dozens of far as far as triggered by a record breaking heat wave. the central province of viet saw some of the worst funds. strong winds of hampered recovery efforts in the area. officials say more than 5000 hexes of land may have burned cruise or also battling to new fires near the greek capital. several villages have been evacuated to the south east north north west of athens. hundreds of wildfires have devastated vast areas of land this month and what the government is called its worst ecological disaster. in decades. is eland, is going to look down after its 1st new code 19 infection, 6 months, while a trailer has put more police on the street to enforce it, weeks long, locked down them elsewhere. thailand continues to battle, increasing numbers of new cases in depth. and japan is extending it state of

emergency. hydra reports now from bank of additional security forces are deployed across the street is biggest city sydney to enforce a covered 1900 lockdown in its 8th week. the city registered its largest one day increases infections on monday. officials are telling people to prepare for the surge to continue and in new zealand. the announcement that an area where the country's 1st cove at $900.00 case in 6 months with found faces a snap locked down for a week. we have made decisions on the basis that it has be said to start high and go down levels rather than start to load not contain the virus and see it move quickly. we've seen the di, consequences of taking too long to act and other countries, not least, our neighbors thailand just had its record number of single day death on tuesday with 239. this is the number of infections in the 3rd and strongest wave inches toward 1000000. that's just since april and it's fueled by the depth of variance.

the nation is struggling to increase its vaccination rates that now stand it just more than 7 percent. for those fully vaccinated, 25 percent of the 70000000 population have received their 1st dose. vaccine supply has been an issue from the start to tie government play catch up just or to 10000000 doses. the pfizer and 12000000 of seen a vac. japan is extending its state of emergency a tokyo and 7 more regions until september 12. there also be widening restrictions in 7 more prefix years. the nation has seen a rise in new infections setting a new daily record last week, but lockdown, fatigue is prompting some to feel skeptical about the extended measures. honestly this no impact if the state of emergency is similar to the previous ones. if everyone is numb to it and it's more like not again. so it's content needs to be different from before, or it will have little effect. and i thought in indonesia, one of the worst hit nations in asia rights group, animal defender,

and i just want to compete. she's a feeling for help and as a shift the mission of our limbic up up going to spawn. now that i know that she's still hopeful, i would like to request the, the, you know, the whoever, whoever he in the country that's coming forward to help maybe to get the athletes and the coaches, allow them to compete in tokyo. 2020. i mean, i can only tell you from the past experience that we have had the future was bleak, especially for female, for the pyre, limpy. and then i've got a song, the paralympics for it wasn't had during the taliban era for them where and, but they're looking forward in the future. i don't think you will look in you better because we have a struggle through the 20, the 2 decades to get where we are at the now we are back in the square one. i don't think that the one will have the me, they should capacity and to, to you know, to run the country to govern the country, especially for those fords,

because we don't know which male sport will be allowed, which females will be allowed, whether it will be allowed at all. so the futures looking bleak at the dan the, the big story dominating news headlines is the earthquake in haiti and it's a cause that's close to the heart of well tennis number 2, naomi. a soccer soccer, who's of haitian and japanese defense will donate her prize money this week from the cincinnati open to raise awareness of the situation in the country. for haiti, i feel like i'm not really doing that much like i could do more and i'm trying to figure out, you know, what i can do and what exactly or where exactly to put my energy into. i would say like the prize money thing, it's sort of like the 1st like thing that i thought of that i could do. and that would raise the most awareness. but if a folk has seemed upset to, she answered that question. it because moments before she broke down in tears and walked out following question about the controversy over her,

refusing to speak to the media at the french open earlier this year. this is her 1st news conferences pulling out of that tournament over concern for mental health . i can't really help that there are some things that i tweak or some things that i say that kind of create a lot of news articles or things like that. and i know that it's because i've won a couple grand slams and i've got in to do a lot of press conferences, these things happen. but i would also say like i, i'm not really sure how to balance or to like, i'm figuring it out at the same time as you are. i would say okay, i think we're just going to take a quick break just will be back in one moment. meanwhile, formal, well, number 2,

petrocca fit of one. her opening round much in cincinnati. the check play was given a good work out by american madison case before winning this 56 full in the men's tournament from well. number one and the murray won his opening counts up. murray is ranked a $115.00 days and have had several injury setbacks in the last few years. however, you showed good strength against frenchman rachelle. jessica here. murray, winning this one whole whole did well. pretty well for my 1st single nation a while on, on the hard courts there, i need a little bit more confidence in my movement than i did when i played him a couple years ago. the 1st match i played since i had that single match in the metal hip and so that the apprehensive in football at tammy abraham has officially signed for roma head of the new study season. abraham spent the last 2 years at chelsea but couldn't really establish himself in the starting 11. you also spent

time out on loan with this 47000000 dollar movie, savish himself at a club at high hope, having recently appointed chosen marino as the head coach. meanwhile, chelsea's records signing ramallah cock, who says rejoining the london club is the chance of a lifetime because he left the blues permanently. 7 years ago that chelsea spent a 135000000 dollars to bring the car back to stanford bridge by the person you have to dream and you know, but you have to set yourself target as well. and then the paternity came along, i think at the right time, because you know, the club was keep winning and you know, gave me an opportunity. and i think for me that we, how my career has been going the last few years. i think it was the chance of a lifetime. all right, that's useful for now more later. next. j. great. thank you very much. see you later. thank you for that. that is it for this news. we are hearing that the

taliban will be holding a news conference at some point in the next hour or so. we'll be back with that as well. ah. as the resurgent taliban retakes of female activist journalists and even school goes on to threats. one on one east investigate the fight for it's kind of stones women on algebra. when i think of my niger, i think of potential when i think of potential, i think of what would be, what is not i think of young people literally take them to the island and do something that they can be part of. tell me the possible, i think the other challenge, i believe is the child recorded. hello. my name is ben. gotcha. so, and this is my, my, my dear analogy there, ah, blue face,

most common sight in city centers around britain, but as lockdown to elicit people will still be wearing masks for months or even years to come. an ongoing nightmare for the environment. this video shows stuff at a wildlife hospital helping a bird that's been caught up in discarded later. it's a face mask made of plastic. now a recent survey found 70 percent of people using disposable mosse didn't realize they were using single use prospects. researches at university college london. so if every person in the u. k. used one, despite almost every day for a year, it would create $124000.00 tons of waste, half of which would be on recyclable factory. they're trying to provide an alternative, but anti viral coaching. like other such mosques can be washed and reuse. the design that we've come up with, ethical, sustainable, and entirely made in the u. k. it looks like face most to be part of many people's lives, at least in the short term, whatever. calling the way that being urged to consider where it comes from and

where it'll end up i al jazeera. where ever use all, ah, the tell about and talks, i'm to stay and says it once women and it's government, just people just live with the group in charge. the alarm clock, this is out there a life and also coming up evacuation flights resume a couple airport a day after thousands of people tried to flee the taliban take over. but a different scene along the line border with pakistan and populated by ethnic groups.
