allies express the need to stay beyond the 31st august deadline to get people out. we have been able to evacuate the thousands of people over the last days. and the situation at the airport is so much better now than it was on the in the beginning . of the week, but we really recognized that the huge hall sca that remains to be done and that was the main issue discussed at the meeting it today. the reality is that actually we have many allies for offer to host to receive afghans. people coming out from going on, we have many planes enough calling this on the cobbler airport or in the region. the main challenge was to get people to the airport and into the airport. so we have communicated clearly to all of us that they should provides a safe passage for everyone who wants to leave the country. and especially in enable them to, to go to the airport some ne darlise and especially with the states they have had,

well, di will called operational tactical compact with, with all the bonds to make sure that that happens. we have seen some progress, but still it is a very difficult situation outside the airport. it's very unpredictable at the meeting today. many allies express the need to extend the deadline to the timeline beyond the 20 and 31st of august. and that's because they see that with the current pace, we will not able to get all the people who want to get out by the end of that timeline. i'm concerned about told you have seen the last weeks, including the very rapid collapse of the african security forces on the political leadership when we made a decision to end. and then they thought us, us and they to presence in i've gotten this on. we were, where are the risks of all the bomb the returning. but the very

wrapped, the false collapse over over all the political leadership and the security forces that was not anticipated. and that of course has created some additional problems. so the problems we are faced with today, then i think it's extremely important to remember that the reason why we went into afghanistan was to prevent of cornerstone from being a safe haven for national terrace after the type of tax organized from i've gone this on against not the states and 911-2001. for trinity, ezra prevented any attacks on the need to other countries organize from of gone on . and now it is simple to do what we can to preserve those gains. tons of members have been seen alongside civilians for the 1st friday press and the on group to control of the country. the taliban issued guidance to moms across on the phone saying that they should use the sermons to appeal to unity. people cobble reported seeing more worship as unusual. their dress code restrictions were enforced. robert

bride has more from the capital. the pres went ahead and they were relatively uneventful. there were concerns that possibly the taliban was going to have a high profile presence. may have been on the doors of last and insisting that people adhered to a strict dress code. 3 that wasn't the case, but the taliban has urged him to pass on the message that people should should really be looking for unity. they should not leave the country, they should pass on that message and also to correct what the taliban calls a negative propaganda. whatever that means, so it looks as though the, the taliban does recognize the important, the importance of a mom's in trying to lay the face of the population. something else which is worth pointing out. the way that's been happening this friday outside of cobble is potentially some resistance armed resistance to the taliban. and if the perpetrators of this would have you believe this is the start of the fight back,

although it remains to be seen just how serious this is, this is the country's defense minister, general bas mill, mohammedan. now it has to be said he still claiming to be the, the defense minister by default because the taliban hasn't chance to appoint his success to get their own defense minister. so more like the former defense minister, but there has been some fighting in the province of baghlan that's to the north of cobbled and claims by this resistance movement led by this former defense minister that they've taken 3 districts and that the province of baghlan will soon be captured, it's a bold claim, but it is a backlit is close. interestingly, to the punch valley. now the pantry valley is traditionally the hotbed of resistance to the taliban. it was during the 1990. it was where the northern alliance that was that stronghold where the 2000 to one fight back supported by the american took place from. so this,

according to the roll general bits miller holiday. it's the start of the fight back by his forces. it remains to be seen though, just how far this might go, or whether it could indicate that once again, afghan is down, could be in for a phase of a longer simmering low intensity conflict, of course, which it has been used to now for decades. well, you can probably minister bowers johnson says britain will work with the taliban on evacuations if necessary. what i want to assure people is that our political and diplomatic efforts to find a solution for afghanistan working with the taliban. of course, if necessary, we'll, we'll go and our commitment to afghanistan is lost in the 3 people have been killed in a bomb attack on a bus in pakistan. the blast occurred in gloucester and the country southwest. all

of those killed with iron standers who were not on the bus to who were children. now, local sources said the attack was targeting the chinese driver of the boss. the death toll from a powerful earthquake in haiti on saturday now risen to any 2200 people. the great damaged a number of buildings, housing critical services amongst them. southern haiti's only medical oxygen plans not raised fears of a worst thing. humanitarian crisis as the country struggles to contain and increase in crow virus cases. the organization of american states has held a virtual meeting to discuss the situation. john holeman has more from puerto prince, the haitian prime minister already el rey is already spoken in that meeting. and he gave the up day in italy of the dead. you also said that there were more than 12000 people that were injured in this he gave the number of homes that have been destroyed, which is all the time increasing as well. but he said that the haitian government

has good its loins. those were his was to deal with these calamities and that they've been sending heavy digging. they've been sending civil protection. but he said that even all of those efforts have hardly put them in the destruction. that's been caused in the earthquake, we just actually go back from the da's office. we just spent most of the last few days looking around to see what's happening with the communities that. and i think some people, especially in those communities, would disagree with his assessment of the haitian government doing all that it could we went to one community called for on whose local representative said that 98 percent of the houses were destroyed that we spoke to. so many homeless people and that local representative said he actually phoned up the prime minister who told him just to wait. we saw other things, especially in the city of tai which is not on excessive boy, it's probably the biggest city in the disaster zone. in the stadium that the football stadium is just full know of tense, but of plastic sheeting blankets being held up by sticks and desperate families who

have lost everything, just sheltering beneath them. no toilets, no water. not really any aid because most of it gets robbed. the moment it gets to the gate of that place, so you seeing things said that the government surely must be able to come to terms with and start helping out with if there wasn't such the moment, it seems a bit of an organizational vacuum, possibly corruption as well, the u. k and united states have sanctioned several russian officials and entities on the 1st anniversary of the lexia valleys poisoning will position figure suffered from a near fatal nerve agent attack. one year ago, western intelligence agencies believe russian secret service officers poisoned devoutly with the nerve agent. no shock. he was treated in germany and flew back to russia in january where he was that arrested of german chance anglo medical has used her final official visit to russia to ask that may putin to free the valley from prison. the russian leader refused her request saying his jailing was not political rallies,

poisoning strained relations between the 2 countries. the leaders also discussed the situation in ukraine. i'm the tourist. oh, of course we also talked about the distressing situation of alexi na valley from our perspective. the sentence to a penal colony on the basis of an earlier verdict with which the european court of human rights has classified as manifestly disproportionate for us is unacceptable. and i once again called on the russian president to release alexi, nevada. and i have also made it clear that we will stay on the case. i love to see what else for the person of interest you mentioned. he wasn't sentenced for his political activities, but for the criminal offense regarding foreign partners. as for political activity, no one should hide behind it for carrying out business project. moreover, in violation of the law must bring in some new romani, the tutoring specialist on russian foreign policy at the university ox that enjoys

me from back to you with us on the program. i think a loss will merkel be, i mean, being able to communicate with russia and also sort of being able to be such a heavy weight as she could and sort of push back on behalf of the european community world. even though russia and germany have a lot of disagreements, the basic spirit of the relationship between merkle important was one of dialogue and trying to work around them. and over the course of the 15 years, merkel was in power. they managed to establish a pretty solid basis of communication on a variety of fatal issues from ukraine. busy to syria, to libya, janice dan as well as issues of european security and global. busy importance so that experience will be a loss by don't really see that much of a change in german policy, i think arm and marsh it and focusing on dialogue. busy will continue with it, of course, much depends on the make up, the buddhist. but i think that merkle legacy will continue even if her personality has departed, you know, get on to the future. maybe because she was kind of, she is a formidable political play. i mean, she's softly spoken,

you would want to cross her though, if my general impression. but she does have a respect, but is a forwarded to her by vladimir putin. what was infinitely respect that was afforded . busy to her by vladimir vuitton, similar to the relationship, though quite different, forgetting how mccolan brazelton was more defensive and was more operative. but it's that kind of strong personal relationship. when that changes, it can unravel things and also she's got a lot of stature within the european union though she is a polarizing. busy figure and she's had to balance between the more diverse elements, like italy and hungry and the more hawkish elements in eastern europe. and she's done that quite well in spite of a lot of inter european divisions. you know, you talked about her success, 7 potential next chancellor. but who on the european scene now could fill her shoes in challenging or, or dealing with russia. why? i think that this will probably elevate the importance of emanuel mat cross policy towards russia and particular his continued compartmentalized dialogue with russia

. so even though the election of only poisoning was going on, even though. busy there was a lot of bad well, between europe and russia, she tried over the past year to keep dialogue moving on issues like cybersecurity, black, see security, libya. so i think that macros dialogue initiatives open probably magnified importance. but if the german policy towards russia really continues along the same . busy line then lash it will be a useful partner though. busy you have to balance the devilish and involve the democrats and the hawkish involved, the greens and the new parliament. it's funny how politicians, when they come to elections, they can be quite strong and demanding, and very vocal during the election campaign. once they take office, they can sometimes change because of the office of being head of head of state expects. if flushing con, for example, take on board, what merkel walls would challenging russia fall on the shoulders of only the usa? would european perceptions be weak when it comes to russia?

well, without a strong leadership from germany, france will probably try to double down as the voice of engagement and likely be joined by italy in that regard. we even saw that on the canister crisis, student in the italy and student and macro really engaging quite closely. so i think that that will probably happen. and yes, if germany now adored stream to kind of a dollar, more of a conciliatory posturing towards russia does have a clear strategy more rely on the united states. and this might also give britain now an opportunity to kind of straddle between the u. s. in europe. and adopted more hawkish, fostering to i think we should look at british policy as well. busy as american barza, and that's an area in the past few weeks, i've been sort of investigating, you might say a range of opinions about the position of the u. s. for example, the secretary state and the defense secretary there have been garnering support from either the european community or the asia pacific political community over cyber crime and asia pacific issues like the south trying to see against china. do

you think that's the sort of policy that the, the u. s. might use again, against rush rule that europe might actually learn from the united states if wanting to deal with russia is a broad opinion. if germany can't take, you might say the pivotal position. well, i mean, last it is talked about you why strategies i wouldn't allow germany taking that position if his rhetoric is to be taken at face value. but i would agree, absolutely. i think that europe is pivoting a lot more towards the american. busy national security doctrine and foreign policy, dr. which is great power competition, which is dealing with russia and china in one yoke. and in be afraid $21.00, their stations, policies against individuals. busy and commercial entities in both russia and china over cyber crimes, signaled the relative coordination between the us and european positions. so us a leader, this issue, i think the europeans will probably follow regardless of what political pressures

lashes under an initial teething phase of the chancellor up interesting times ahead . we'll have to leave it somewhere romani, thank you for joining us from the university of oxford. thank you very much. she muslims across india, her be marking the islamic hurley day of assure it commemorates the death of the prophet mohammed, the grand cinema. the saints. thousands of devotees took part in michel self flagellation. to move the suffering he endured before he was killed. she emerson's regard, his death as a symbol of humanity, struggle against injustice. black market demand for an exotic fish found in mexico, girls of california is endangering a rare purpose purpose. in fact, fishermen claim the crisis on the government's mismanagement to environmental policies as men will repair reports, fishing his hard business in sun phillipe it aside from the punishing heat, tougher fishing restrictions have force many here to tighten their belts. load in.

so garcia, the local fisheries association says fishermen are being collectively punished for criminal activity in the protected waters of the upper gulf of california. exam was good to fill up with killer. we know there is illegal fishing, but we've been fighting for 30 years to keep our fishing permits and maintain our cooperative. it isn't fair that we're being lumped in with those who do not respect the 0 tolerance policy. the no fishing boundaries along with a ban on gil nets were put in place to protect a rare porpoise that lives only in these waters. it's known in mexico as the vector . but many believe the laws aimed at protecting lucky does have failed to stop illegal fishing. spurred by a high demand for another rare species. the do other boys, a fish that has us gallbladder, which has been spike balloon that allows the fish to move up and down in water that has a very high value in china. so illegal trafficking. so people

are fishing for by using governance, killing becky does to traffic to extract the bladder and try to get to china. really night, states to, to other gallbladder had become so sought after even drug cartels are said to be in on the action. these specimens are quite small, but we're told that a single, full grown to of a swim bladder can be worth more than a kilo of cocaine. in an effort to disrupt the to swab a black market, trade conservation is or bedding onto to ob, farming the well intentioned, some worry these efforts may not be enough to save the endangered buck heater and its local fishermen who seem to be paying the price. it's important to recognize that that legal fishing is important for many communities in mexico and the upper gulf form. yes, that there are alternatives for legal fishing that we need to support local

legal fishermen in the area and, and economy called tentative for them. and i would express our concern because of the decrease in budgets, the from the federal government for environmental institutions and mexico that we've been seeing since 6 or 7 years back. experts agree. the problem requires action by the governments of mexico, the u. s. and china to crack down on the trafficking of endangered species in the upper gulf of california. many hope whatever the solution may be. it will strike a balance between conservation and the livelihood sufficient communities. manuel rap, hello al jazeera, centrally been mexico. stale subject to hundreds of dead fish have washed upon shoals on one of europe's largest salt water lagoons. residents have been protesting about deteriorating environmental conditions from the area. the region has seen fish stocks plummet with similar mass dials in

ah ah ah ah ah ah

ah phone up. thank you. so how will rough on the doll is out of tennis for the rest of the season? meaning he'll miss this year's final major, the u. s. open. the 20 time grand slam champion is the latest big name to pull out of the tournament. joining roger federer and defending champion dominic team. that all has been troubled by a foot injury since losing to know the joke of it in the french open semi finals back in june. the u. s. open starts at the end of this month. i need to go with my family with my mom, with my special ed, though to understand what's going on. but the food is not the proper way today. i'm doing the last year where they will to practice and to

prepare myself the way that they need to to be competitive understanding is that they want to be so we had to take that position, but i am confident that they will recover myself. all right, we're joined now by tennis ryder john worse i'm from sports illustrated. drain us from london. john. some big contenders. obviously missing from the us. open this time around. it seems like jock, which though has one hand on the trophy even before the tournament starts, do you think it's his to lose his to lose with 127 other players, but he's the overwhelming favorite. of course he's going for the graham. swelled all 4 majors in one year, which no male has done since you know, 91960 rod laver more than 50 years ago. and this certainly will help his chances that neither 20 time major champions roger federer robin a doll will be in the drawing. joke of it was not only will he get the grim sam

hill also move ahead of those 2 other players and which is 21st major so this will add to as pressure. but boy, d b, feel this thinning the defending champion, as you mentioned dominic t v. isn't there either? novak joke of it's couldn't, could be shaping up much better as he tries to make history. you mentioned roger federer there. he won't play again this year because of a nice surgery. we know. what's your gut feeling with him? do you think he could call it quits and retire after this? you know, i mean he's, he's 40 years old for 40. so he would certainly be entitled, but i think both better and adult. and as trade as it sounds, they want to go out on their own terms. they want to make the decision. they don't want help to be the determining factor. and i think they're both really going to try and play in 2020 to realistically you will probably be better as final year. but i don't think he's quite done yet. alright. and we have to talk about, of course ma'am, we're saca. she's the defending champion at the us open and we know of her

complicated relationship with the media. where do you see that very fine line that dance going? you know, it's a great question because i'm not sure it's, it's the media. i think the press conference format she gets asked the question to answer the question she finds herself very vulnerable in that situation. and it's really about her level of comfort. her mental health to spoken about it. i think sometimes this is misconstrued is my only a socket versus the media. and i really don't think it's that i think it's a very cordial relationship. i just think for what ever reason she is very uncomfortable with the press conference format and it's going to be very interesting. she gave a press conference this week. it did not go particularly well. and all of this is of a piece with a mental health challenges that she's spoken about. it's going to be very interesting and i think honestly, she has a lot of support in the media. but i think the video wants her to overcome this because she's really quite lovely and engaging when she feels comfortable in the room. yeah. she has someone that you've interviewed and when you're in the room and

you have to ask her a question, do you feel a little reluctant now to push her on certain issues because you don't want to upset her? yeah, i think all the members of the media, the cover her regular are really quite sensitive now and again, this is not a relationship that's full of attention or friction. she's not acting like an untitled athletes. she has a personal issue with the press conference form and yeah, when you're on the other side, i think we're all trying to be extra sensitive about what's going to make her more comfortable. john, thank you so much for your time. really enjoy talking with you. like what, thanks. all right. over to football and chelsea forward, winger christian politic has tested positive for koby 19 and will miss sundays. london, darby against arsenal. meanwhile, arsenal manager, michael art teddy says that he doesn't know if he'll have available. the 4 players who missed last week's opening game of the season because of corona virus. 2 of the absent players were captain pierre americo bombing and keyboard alexandra lockers.
