evacuation flights. it is believed. 17 people were killed by gunfire, or in stam page. and the united nations is warning that aid workers need access to the afghan people to look out for their rights and deliver food supplies. rob mcbride begins, saw coverage from cobble at cobble airports. main terminal. this is proud control taliban style. follies of gunfire. scatter people in panic. the another gate even more desperate scenes as the airport continues to be besieged. and at the side of the airport, whether u. s. military evacuation is taking place. private defense contract as their use take us at the british embassy compound long lines, gather daily to apply for special visas with promises from the taliban of amnesty

for those who worked with foreign forces and safe passage to the airport. but many doubt the taliban promises fears, raised bites, treatment to protest is wanting to retain the national flag. deadly classes with taliban fighters have taken place in the city of gyla bad with emotions running even higher. as i've got this done, celebrates independence day. there have been further confrontations in the city of a sad about the violence of a thin dependence day has res tension in what is already a very highly charged atmosphere by co incidence. it comes on the same day as assure us, the most important state in the calendar ritual of the appear by the minority has our community i targeted in the past by iso bombers. the commemoration this year is also overshadowed by the current people concerns the community may face for the

alienation and re taliban governments. made of that, as i see, the government is going to be dominated by just one ethnic. it makes us worried that the country could slip back into civil war and destruction on the streets of cobbled. there are signs of life returning to something like normal with more business opening and hope for a new start. but now you as, as long as everyone was tired of the previous government, people are hopeful for whatever is coming and the business will be better. but the views of a nerve as population remain, make better for our future if the countries, 3 of all these troubles in his fortune another in each other. we don't want to go back to the previous television era when young people would have to follow the strict dress code or get me, you know, with more taliban patrolling the streets. there's also been the return of a familiar site. traffic police in their distinctive uniforms,

back on duty. a small comfort for a population, a need of any kind of reassurance right now. rob mcbride, al jazeera couple, a president biden has said that us forces will stay in afghanistan until all americans are evacuated. montana has more from the white house. president biden said in the course of the day and an interview with a local us network, that there was the possibility of extending that deadline. he said that every american citizen is going to be evacuated from a couple. and his forces will remain in place until this is the case. this is the 1st suggestion from any aspect of the bite and ministration that there is a, the end to the timeline that it is, in fact, a loose deadline, determined by how many people evacuated now on that particular tack. state department says over the course of the day that it has evacuated from 7000 people

to this point. it adds that there are another 6000 people that couple airport who have been processed and ready to go out and transport flights. they do not specify what the nature of these people are, whether they are embassy workers, american citizens, or indeed, a gun, nationals who were working for the us and have been granted single immigration visas. the state department also says that added state department personnel being sent to kuwait and to cut to help process those seeking to enter the united states . this in reference once again to africa, nationals, as i said, those who work for the u. s. and also a number of n g o lead this for example, who are seeking exit from afghanistan. aust, repeatedly the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff has said that the us forces simply do not have the capability to be able to move out of the airport into couple

proper to be able to school those within the city itself who have not been able to get through that ring of taliban around the international airport. so this is a major issue because looking at the arithmetic estimates were that there was some $16000.00 us citizens in couple. we've had state hotman saying that 7000 people have left another 6000 people are waiting to process at the airport. now we do not know how many us citizens are still outside that airport region. and importantly to, of course, we do not know how many afghans who would be eligible to take those evacuation flights in couples. city, we do know that there are many in that category who are elsewhere in refugee camps in pakistan, for example. but the key to get out is obviously at this moment to get to couple airport which is impossible for many to do the state department. not giving any indication how people are going to be assisted to get to the airport through the

possible. wayne, hey, al jazeera toner, new zealand. a corona virus cases have search to a record in malaysia with nearly 23000 new infections recorded on thursday. that's despite the country being in a lockdown since mid may, the health ministry says 98 percent of those who tested positive displayed mild symptoms. the number of daily new infections in south korea as serge past 2000. for a 2nd time, it's struggling to contain a wave of outbreaks during the summer holiday. tough restrictions have been imposed in the capital sol, nigeria, the biggest city lagos, has launched the campaign to clear its streets. a beggar's state government has imposed the ban on begging and hawking that's in formal selling on the streets. police have reportedly already started making arrest official, se beggars and hawkers are being traffic to lagos by criminal gangs. and that many

accusations, a key, acu, sorry, acquisitions, rather of what's happened. instagram cleared all of the, the regulatory, illegal hurdles years ago, and that they shouldn't be a case to, to answer here. what do you make of that? so the court already said that it's all right, and it is permissible for the f t. c to challenge those acquisitions again. and the reviews by the agency that happened at the time were not the end of the matter. the and the things that happened afterward, the evidence that they've collected since could show that facebook's purchase of what's out and instagram was done to eliminate potential rivals. and the new complaint gives even more detail about that. but it goes a little further in it. it focuses not just on those acquisitions, but also on facebook entire course of conduct, which was something that was in the earlier complaint that was dismissed. but it's

come back here again with more detail. what does this mean and for the, for the millions of facebook uses and other social media uses, because this is a case that could drag on for years, isn't it? it is. and however, this resolved, it's going to be probably a long time before it is resolved. but what it means is that there's, there's still a path for the government to ask to see changes in behavior from facebook or, or possibly even breaking up the company. but how does that, how does that affect the average facebook user in their sort of day to day social media usage? i mean, there are, they been denied opportunities to, to go find other social media options. they are right now, and the complaint goes into all the ways that facebook has prevented other options from, from coming in into being one of the things that they're asking for is that people

be able to leave facebook for other social networks, but not leave their friends behind be able to communicate with their friends who are still on facebook. in other words, some interoperability requirement that by lowering the barriers to switching social networks, that could really have a strong influence on breaking facebook monopoly. and that's something that they're still asking for. i'll be interesting to see how all this plays out, mich stokes, good to speak with you as well. how malaysia's former deputy prime minister is likely to lead a new government after securing a parliamentary majority. if it's my summary, your appointment as prime minister is confirmed by the king. it would mark the return of the long ruling, no party it govern malaysia for 6 decades after independence, but lost power in 2018 g to a corruption scandal of firefighters in southern france. are hoping cooler

scale this from an industrial point of every year. the world produces more than 1000000000 tons of residue from food. this wasted along with the resources used to make it more impactful than that. is that what that food start the, the composing methane methane. these submitted because of the decomposition and methane. gus is greenhouse gas. that is $23.00 times more not done until 2. so, food waste alone, it's one of the highest a, c o 2 meters in the world. scientists are leaving little doubt that reducing greenhouse gases, finding sustainable sources of food, and accelerating the transition to a circular, a quarterly candle of weight. if i species is to survive on our planet. this large
