what we're focused on. that's the timeline moran. and it's the secretary made clear to to leaders even as recently is this morning at time is of the essence. and we all, we all share a sense of urgency here. the bite and administration continues to defend the decision to go ahead with the withdrawal. arguing that the alternative was escalating u. s. involvement in another country's civil war was unfolded over the past month, has proven decisively that it would have taken a significant american true presence. multiple times greater than what president biden was handed to stop a taliban onslaught, and we would have taken casualties. american men and women would have been fighting and dying once again in afghanistan. both republicans and democrats have been highly critical of the manner in which the withdrawal is being conducted. arguing that the chaos that has ensued constitutes a huge failure of intelligence. their sharp criticism to the president's position

across the continent. the direst consequence of the taliban takeover of afghanistan for europe now would be a repeat, distributed, assaulted again, you stole his gun, destabilization of afghanistan, risks causing irregular migration to europe. france, as i've said, has and will continue to do its duty for those who are most threatened, but afghans in times to come, will need to muster their strength in europe cannot shoulder the consequences alone cause for humanitarian corridors and a coordinated european response by the likes of emmanuel micron and the outgoing german chancellor anglo merkel are likely to meet resistance from some countries. greece has warned against, again becoming the gateway to europe. austria plans to continue deporting, failed asylum seekers. back to afghanistan. e u. foreign ministers meeting to discuss the crisis and nowhere near consensus who had to issue

and a woman coming here with children. but it's in the sense why? because you're coming here because you want it alive. lithuania recently started to push people who showed up at the board, back to barrows in return. the russian troops stopped them from entering on this footage, released by lithuanian border guards. a group of 35 iraqis are seen stuck between the 2 sites. lisa wayne eventually allowed the migrants in an accused bella, or oceans from illegally crossing its border. the the playing deadly games with the human rise lives is acceptable and has to be condemned. unfortunately, people whom we consider to be victims in that situation. i used by lucas shanker regime as the tool as a weapon against the european union in general. and particularly cna, because of its very strong political position in an effort to stop the influx of

migrants and asylum seekers. lithuania has been constructing a barrier on its 670 kilometer long border with barrows. these are desperate people who have become victims in a political conflict. far away from home. their presence here at this gateway into europe shows how vulnerable district use fence on asylum seekers and migrants has become. the e u. s. had more than 100 border troops and pledge 37000000 euros to helpless away near that usually only sees a fraction of these arrivals. to deal with the crisis. bella, russian opposition leaders, atlanta taken off guy. i was living in exile in lithuania, or just the you not to give in to local shanker what the regime is doing is like mailing european union with this gracious situation. and the answer should be even stronger. you can't be blackmailed by regime. the number of migrants arriving at the board has decreased since iraq stopped it slides to barrows. but the situation

we main stance warning shots have been hurt from the bad wish and sight steadfast and al jazeera vilios lithuania. fill ahead on al jazeera as part of the us health care system, buckle under the number of co, 19 patients week them and why cases have reached levels not the same to the winter of 2020 ah ah, it's time for the journey to winter sponsored by kettle airways. hello, we're going to begin here with an update on the southwest monsoon. we're starting to see some storms light up across the moon by on wednesday through the western gods. but it is dried toward the northwest that includes new delhi. but i want to take you where i think the most intense rain will be, and it's for the indian states of odessa and tailing, gone on wednesday,

but heavy falls still for northern bangladesh and to nepal and baton as well. and you know where we have just seen continuous rain sheets of rain falling for southern and coastal sections of japan. check this out. the city in queue to $364.00 millimeters of rain over the past 24 hours. that is double what you should get for the entire month of august. and once again, we're still seeing that rang q, chicago, and haunch you just think the darker the color, the more intense the rain is falling. so almost guaranteed we will continue to see more land sides going a bit further south. and i've got to tell you, you know, toward glen dong and fuji. and providence is we're starting to see that rain pick up. and if we get a closer look now for se, asia is supposed to be the dry season across java, but we're still seeing some storms here. so that includes jakarta on wednesday with a high of $33.00 degrees. and some jolts and bolts in the sky. that sure weather update. see you soon?

sponsor cut on airways. if you were looking at this from the outside, you would really wonder what was going on, what, what is this growth? is 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 limit. 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 well, we would rather have a fantasy growing pains on al jazeera. oh, a hello. you're watching 0. i'm emily anglin, a reminder of our stories. in it says press conference is taking over afghanistan.

the taliban says it will respect women's rights and begin to fall against them. the claims of being met with skepticism from many who fear a return to the harsh rule of 20 years ago. the us says taliban has agreed to allow safe passage. the civilians struggling to get flowing out of cobble evacuation have resumed a day to chaotic stains on the runway. ladies have also a great to hold a virtual g 7 main thing to discuss. a common strategy for afghanistan. for the 1st time, the u. s. has declared a water shortage in one of its western reservoirs like made fits along the nevada, arizona state border and is the largest reservoir in the us. it's supplies water for about 40000000 people across 7 states. and parts of neighboring mexico. officials say some farmers and families should expect mandatory cuts in a water supply as early as october. reynolds eas,

live for us from the hoover jam in arizona. hello there, rob, how far is reacting to this is mandatory water cuts and what they actually mean in a practical sense? well 1st, emily, i'd like to just sort of allow our viewers to, to get an idea visually of why the u. s. government has issued this water shortage alert and is beginning of the process of cutting water supplies for some people in several states out here in the west. from where we're standing, it's dramatically clear why that was necessary. behind me is lake me, was created with the construction of the hoover dam in the 1900 thirty's. and as you mentioned, it's the largest reservoir in the united states. and people in cities like los angeles and san diego, las vegas and phoenix all depend to one degree or another on the water from lake

mead. but let me just step out of the way here, and you can get a look at what you know, some people sort of facetiously call the bath tub ring around the shore of lake me . but that's actually the sign of how low the water level has fallen. as a result of approximately 20 years of drought exacerbated by global warming, the water level now is at about 35 percent of what it once was. and this is something that scientists are laying at the feet of global warming because with higher temperatures, the less of precipitation falls in the rocky mountains at snow. so it doesn't melt in the spring and it doesn't feed the streams and rivers that wind up in the colorado and come back into this reservoir for people to use. now as far as the

impact, well, the people in the cities are not going to feel it right away if at all. but farmers will, as you mentioned, and farmers are now facing some very difficult choices in arizona, which despite being a desert state does produce a lot of cotton and alfalfa and other crops that are kind of water intensive really to grow. a farmers are now going to have to consider whether to allow land to lay fallow or to start planning new crops, or to get out of the business of farming in the desert altogether. and of course it's, it's, it's a, it's a region wide problem. it's not just this colorado river basin, which some sorry to say, is now going through the worst drought in 1200 years. we've seen the impact all over the west in just the last few months with buyers in oregon and california

brutal waves in the pacific northwest and in british columbia. and so it's an, it's an issue that is very widespread. and scientists are saying the trends, unfortunately look like they're heading still in that same direction of more drought, more heat, more dryness, concerning scenes, and thank you for that update rove. reynolds live for us in arizona. appreciate your insights. survivors of a powerful earthquake and hazy and now having to cope with a tropical storm. heavy rain lashed to make shift shelters in the southern city of like, hey, one of the worst areas. you know, 2000 people have been killed in saturdays, quite thousands more. have been left homeless, many say they are still waiting for aid from the government to arrive john home and has this update from the airport and the capitals footprints we've been speaking to people on the ground, including our colleagues over in the car, which is one of the major cities that was hit by this great,

and in the end it seems that that was and as far as we know so far, too much flooding or land slides, which was the big worry about this. but we still have, as you mention, a lot of people sleeping out in the open even because they're worried about what might happen in terms of off the shots for because that house is with damaged and destroyed. we've also got a lot of people in hospitals about 6000 people injured apart from the more than 1400 people that side in the quake. so the relief efforts ongoing, as you want to tell you as well, we're actually at the airport now in full to print and we're here because this is basically the hub of everything that's trying to get to that region at the moment. basically the main road out to full, to print, to get the air in the south west of the country. there's 2 gangs baffling over at close to port prints. and that's meant that is really hard to get down that road since that it's being flown in. we've seen the u. s. coast guard. we just saw actually quite a big playing coming from the air force of chile. so different countries of

bringing their right into the airport. and then it's been taken out by the apple and shop. it's helicopters for in plains to try and get to that region. a number of americans admitted into intensive care has raged levels. last same during the winter weighs more than half a year ago. and the surgeon new corona virus cases has been fueled by the more infectious delta strain. latest government data shows 20 percent of hospitals have nearly all of the i. c u beds occupied heidi joe castro reports from baton rouge and louisiana. one of the worst effected staying up a little bit 62 year old bobby burdette has just emerged from the covey intensive care unit at our lady of the lake hospital in baton rouge, louisiana staff have nicknamed him there miracle patient. most havent been leaving the i see you alive. i feel really well mom breathing has really gotten under

a heart wrenching with coven patient billing hospital beds. major hospitals in louisiana are no longer accepting transfer. emergency rooms are seeing ways of up to 10 hours, and patients with other emergency conditions. even heart attacks have sometimes been turned away or already rationing care in every day. we continue to admit the same amount of people, if not more. so we'll get to a point where we are unable to patch it together. a federal disaster team is working with the states hospitals to relieve the strain, but doctors say what they also need are more people getting the vaccine. a recent uptick in vaccinations as promising, but not enough. every person who comes into the hospital and is not vaccinated is a failure on our part. it is our job as medical professionals to educate people and we haven't gotten our education out. and in the absence of that, there's misinformation, misinformation, distrust in government and this place,

confidence are all heard to getting the vaccine among louisiana fiercely independent population. as for burdette and his wife, even a near death experience in the hospital, hasn't convinced them to get the shots. for now they'll focus on recovery. it will eventually get to where mommy and systems up to where i can start seeing people and hugged a heck, i'm a great time left with family. a gift denied to some 700 people were day who continued to die of cove. it in the us hydrogen castro al jazeera, baton rouge, louisiana. you zealand has gone back into lockdown after detecting its 1st curve at 19 infection in 6 months. while astronomy has put more police on the straits to enforce its wakes, long locked down elsewhere in the region, thailand continues to battle, increasing numbers of new cases and deaths. while japan is extending in state of
