so fun before but never in a restaurant as to see this is great. earth rise feeding the billions on a jessina who play an important role protecting you and i. ringback am in afghan, his don security challenge. taliban fighters are again targeted in the east and province of manga. ah, hello, i'm mariam ozzy in london. you're watching al jazeera, also coming up on the program. and you, my grand caravan leaves mexico on a more than 2000 kilometer journey to america, southern order defending his decision to stop a rescue ship from docking. former italian interior minister goes on trial and

lemme and rallies in bangladesh. as anger grows over recent attacks, targeting hindu temples and homes, ah, hello and welcome to the program. we want to start this out by looking at the increasing evolve health situation in afghanistan, where the taliban of again been targeted in the east of the country. at least for taliban fighters were killed in multiple attacks in the province of nan gar, where the i s. k, p group are known to be active and entrenched separately to roadside bombs, kill the east to people, including a child official say the bombs were targeting a taliban vehicle, but no taliban members were actually harmed. but no claims of responsibility bought . the have been a series of deadly attacks by the ice group in the country since the taliban took

control. specifically in places like jol about cobble ad mazata sheriff. stephanie deca has more now from cobble multiple security incidents on saturday in july, all about that is the capital of nangle province in the east of the country. it is believed to be the area iceland. afghanistan has their main presence, the taliban has been carrying out operations against the group in that area. what we saw on saturday, one of the attacks against taliban had been in geo, that killed to the body guard. also under signing, there was an eyeful attack on a taliban police station and we understand there were casualties on both sides according to our sources. so this is part of a wider picture really of iceland. afghanistan stepping up its attacks on minorities. we've seen 2 she a mosques attacked over the last couple of weeks one and conducing the north one in the heartland of taliban power. in kandahar we've also had a tax here in cobble with the taliban is dealing with now even though they keep down playing it, saying that it's

a minor threat. they're dealing with it. it's not a huge concern. i so does not have geography, geographic drought, geographical hold really here. not kennesaw, but they do have sleeper cells that they're carrying out at the moment. a real sort of message to the taliban that you know the message the tell about initially had that it was the only group to be able to maintain security in afghanistan. it has done that to some extent, in the sense that crime is down kidnappings or down a but these kinds of attacks are a message to the taliban by i so that it cannot keep the country safe as it's trying to manage it. now as a governing body of a state that rather than an insurgency are certainly moving forward. we are seeing more and more of these incidents happening and the taliban having to rely on intelligence really on trying to deal with the threat that ice. okay. now, in terms of the increase of its attacks on the security situation here, the u. s. is attain more than 1700000 undocumented refugees and migraines on its border with mexico in the past year. that is the highest number ever recorded.

$147000.00 of those attained which children migrants from mexico and central america made up a large share crossings began rising last year, but significantly escalated off to us. president joe biden took office. meanwhile, thousands of refugees and migrants of settle from southern mexico. and an attempt to reach the united states migrant paragon which is already being called the mother of all caravans set off for the city of tampa, chula, a few hours ago. those travelling are attempting to make more than 2400 kilometer journey to america. the southern border on foot. the u. s. department of homeland security says already deployed a 1000 state troopers and texas rangers in response. john home and joins us live now from mexico remarkable. johnny, they are making that will be extremely grueling. tell us more about how the the caravan is progressing. it's something

unexcited happened already actually today, because the caravans set off from top to la. now that's a city on the southern border of mexico, guatemala, in which the mexican government and authorities have really tried to combine, confine migrants that have made it into the country to make it so they can't get any further than that. this curve on is trying to break that sort of in football season, get out from there and start going north, at least towards mexico city, and maybe even towards the board with the united states. now, over the last 2 years, what's happened with caravans of tried to do that, is that the country's national guard has just immediately stopped them, broken them up, sent a lot of people back home in that space, and you've been the end of the caravans since the 1st ones. now what happened today is that they were walking along the road. there was a sort of shield wall of the national guard and that she parted and let them prove that can continuing on their way. they're going very slowly at the moment. and that's because the caravan is mostly made up of men,

is what i close collaborator in chapters muddy. peters tino who's there with them is telling us, but there's also women and children families that they can't move fast and having to move on. because the mexican authorities are saying no way can any bus company, can any private transport company, pick these people up and take them to the us border. so you mentioned in your introduction that maria, it's thousands of miles about 2000 kilometers to get to that us buddhist. this is going to take them not days, but weeks to actually get that far, even if they do make it. now who's in this curve. and there's people from haiti, we've been hearing a lot about them off the chronic troubles in that country for most last decade. many of them taking this route, but also people from central america that are also in poverty stricken countries. countries also undergoing term with a taking that journey north. so at the moment they are still moving slowly. they're all met because sudden, buddha, i think the term the mother of old caravans is definitely an exaggeration because

it's small. are the ones that we've had in the past. we can about maybe one, maybe 2000 people as people start to add on to it as it continues to be allowed to travel so far by the mexican authorities. what we've got to watch in the next couple of days is what happens. so they just waiting for night pool to break this up, or a mexican authorities somehow going to allow it to continue to the u. s. southern border. it seems unlikely, given the pressure from north to stop it. thank you from mexico, says he, gentlemen, ah, me in law's military is reportedly matching troops in northern regions with fears. another major atrocity could take place. the un has received information indicating that tens of thousands of troops and heavy weapons of being moved into rest of regions in the countries north and northwest as well. armed groups have resisted

its rule since the coo and february may and march military use similar tactics before carrying out tax against the hanger in rock island state. a few years ago in $21617.00 which the un described as genocide, algeria spoke, he went special. i put her on human rights and me and my tom andrews. he says urgent action must be taken to prevent mass atrocities. things are very, very tense. and what's happening right now is that we're, we have a dry season upon us. and that is traditionally a time when there is an escalation of military action. and we have seen the deep deployment of tens of thousands of troops, a heavy weapons and equipment into the north western regions of the country. a show . this is a very, very disturbing sign. we have seen increased human rights violations. many people are caught in the crossfire and we're, we're very, very concerned that we could be seen now imminently

a significant loss of life. i hope i'm wrong. and i'm hoping these, these calls for restraint will be heard. but right now i'm, i'm deeply concerned. well, what we saw in 2016, a 2017. was a mass deployment in we're kind state of troops and weapons on a very systematic basis. and then all hell, fire broke loose, and these troops surrounded villages. they attack them ferociously. people, many people were killed the worst. incredible. oh, richard, human rights of violations and torture, just unspeakable violence. and so we're seeing that pattern. we're seeing the massing of troops, the deployment in areas that the of the hunter has decided. it is an area that needs to be, as they say, opening up clearance operations. now this is the term that everyone in me and more knows at least those in the ethnic areas. that just that means of potential.

a very, a ferocious attacks and mass atrocity so on. and they've talked about clearance up . they defined the genocidal attacks against the rainbow s clearance operations and we're hearing that term used again. as we see, tens of thousands of troops deployed to the northwest of the country. turkeys president has ordered 10, west men, bassett as be expelled off. they called for the release of a child philanthropist. osmond cavalier has been in prison since late 2017. without being convicted. he was accused of financing the 2013 guest pop protest and participating in a fail coo, which he denies. a joint statement from several countries, including the united states, canada, france, and germany, alleged the case cost a shadow over respect for democracy on gary and prime minister victor o ban as accuse foreign powers of trying to meddle in his countries politics as thousands of people turned out for rival rallies in the capital buddha, past the demonstrations were in support of opposing candidates,

mateo saline began on saturday in palermo. he stands charged with kidnapping, in dereliction of duty for preventing a boat from disembarking migrants after they were rescued at sea. the court quickly approved the prosecution's list of witnesses, including italy's former prime minister and the actor richard gear, who volunteered on the boat that was blocked from docking. and a bunch of defending the borders is a duty, not only for a minister, but for everyone. and it's emphasized in our constitution, i think being accused of doing my homework is nonsense. i'm sorry that richard year is coming to testify the trial. i wonder if it's serious that richard gear of hollywood is going to testify about my behavior at a trial. at the heart of the case is having these 2019 order to block that boat, which was carrying 147 migrants from docking on italian shores. the vessel operated by the spanish and g o. open arms had rescued the migrants in the middle of the mediterranean, and spent 3 weeks waiting for a safe port, so they could disembark,

my friends, i think they play at the time. so vini had to create a closed port policy, meant to keep them migrants from trying to cross the mediterranean. that policy kept the migrants waiting about 2 weeks within sight of the italian island of lumper doucette. during that time, many jumped into the sea and attempted to swim to shore. the experience of being kept it see had a devastating effect on the migrants, according to the psychologist who spoke to them while they were still on the boat. a listed more little being kept on board meant they were re traumatized again and again, they felt continuously abused. it was an abuse of power that the sardine says he was just carrying out the policies of the government at the time. this trial comes right as my tells me, find himself in one of the weakest political moment that is career. and in many of his statement, he deflecting from the main issue that hand in blaming the trial on an overzealous

traditional system that he says is wasting tax payers money. if convicted south vini could face up to 15 years in prison, with more than 2 dozen witnesses set to testify, the case will carry on for several months. adam rainy, i'll do 0 room. so i, for you on the program, protest is demand transparency. are the thailand's vaccine plans in the country where the company making the vaccines is owned by the king and the onset death which has shot the film while the new details are emerging of the moments before the fatal shot was fired. ah now it has been stormy in northern europe last few days. that's easing now, but it's still different between north and south in the middle. the middle is quiet

and quite warm from spain right up to towards germany. but i dont case on the side said the stormy with his god. in fact we've changed the wind direction. is more of a sudden i for the next few days that will be particularly noticed in stockholm, rising by several degrees. and even though the rains come in to london, it goes from $14.00 to $15.00. so it's like an improve the situation, but very typical of autumn, stormy. and then a bit of relief, a bit of warms. but more significant rainstorms at least are gathering to a circulation look at this is sundays forecast. so for places like calabria in italy, sicily than to the north coasted to near this circulation. it's pretty nasty as persistent, potentially flooding, re, particularly for italy, and strong wind circuits across malta and then producer, as an example. right? it's head away from your down to africa. there's still been some rather late season rain around ya, every coast giving unusual flooding and the rains actually come a long way in land. almost up the cell should not be doing this time of year.

nevertheless, it is. and that's true for the next 2 days. the concentration probably edging back again towards nigeria. ah, a small closed middle eastern community whose history goes back nearly 3000 years. with a population under threat. when men outnumber women $3.00 to $1.00, out as they were well meet the man who decided to break with tradition and married foreign women. samaritan weddings signed sealed deliberate on out his era. ah

ah, welcome back the main stories now. at least for taliban security forces had been killed in a series of attacks. in afghanistan's eastern province of manga a roadside bomb targeting a taliban vehicle also kill 2 civilians. this comes as taliban continues to deal with the threat from ice cell in the country. thousands of haitian and central american refugees and migrants have set off from southern mexico on mass in an attempt to reach the united states migrant caravan left from the city of tampa to lenny the border with guatemala, a few hours ago. and man was military, reportedly massing troops and heavy weapons in northern regions where armed groups of resisted it's ruled since a coup in february. the u. n says it's consigned mass atrocities could take place when all the stories are following tens of thousands of people from minority face

have been riding in cities across bangladesh, protesting against a recent series of attacks on hindu temples and homes. at least 6 people were killed earlier this month and hindus was celebrating a religious festival and fall and claims the muslim holy book. the koran was disrespected in a temple which has a calling for judicial commission to investigate the attacks. tanveer chandry was at one protest in dot com. hi vince of protest about sla and the capital ga gov. people from all walks of life in those muslim christian . but they have done that. they had to purchase a gun. what took place in last several days across the country again saw him go bang. augusta is good for protest. i want justice. many of them out on hunger thought we spoke of some of the protest, this is what they have to say. to me of all is a holy hindu book was banned, many hinders, we killed minority to women, were roped these incidents keep happening. one after the other. yet we never go to

real justice. one of the keys suspect was arrested on thursday night, but people here said that the people behind the conspiracy should be brought to justice and forbid. suppose an advocate demand is of the state religion. this lumps should be abolished from the constitution. i think we were born here with taxpayers and contributed to the countries development in every sector. yet we're being attacked and marginalized in every way. now we're here to protest and fight for a survival. people believe those politics behind all this. they want the real people who are behind this candidates to be brought to justice, not just scape goat, if the justice is not met, that so they'll continue to protest in coming days. a kidnapping of 17 form mission . reason haiti is highlighted. the countries worsening security situation that criminal gangs have reportedly taken over half of haiti's capital. and he resident

say they have no choice but to live under the control of haiti's, most powerful gangs, money wrapper ports. now from puerto prince o, a show of force by members of the g, 9 gang in puerto prince wall images of heavily armed gang members marching freely through the city streets might seemed surreal to many. it's a scene that's become quite common in the haitian capital. some gangs like the g 9 or even trying to reinvent their image and appear more like a political organization than a criminal enterprise. hey, we want to build good schools. good hospitals have good, clean water. we are the sons of the nation. ah, on the streets dang, violence seems to be getting worse by the day. and growing insecurity means part of the job of public transport drivers is to always keep an eye out for trouble. oh, holy scuffle, bible, the police could do something for us because that the law, so they're the ones that should protect us,

but they don't do anything back. so we don't know what to do. ah dang! violence is not a new phenomenon in haiti. even government leaders have been known to use gangs in the past to exert political control. but locals tell us, the scale of the bias is reaching unprecedented levels. fullborne, thank you. he did not be a fool by you. so you, we need security in this country. you can't go on living like this anymore. we have people with guns everywhere and the police beats us with sticks and everything is really hard for us. we need change in this country level. despite the dangers, people still have to go out. if they want to make a living for many residents of puerto prince and for drivers simply commuting around town is one of the most dangerous activities they can do. running the risk of being kidnapped, being robbed, or getting caught in the crossfire of rival gangs, fighting each other over control of different parts of the city. in estimated 50 percent of territory in the haitian capital is said to be under the control of

criminal gangs. and while the case of 17 hostages being held by a gang known as 400 muzzle has attracted international attention for an aid groups say, the magnitude of the security crisis has far reaching implications. the guys are expanding the power and the control on areas of the city. and again, it's a vicious cycle. if you have more insecurity, then humanities i had to was there the state of georgia, you can no longer ring or she may try and services an access to basic services to the population, which doesn't leave the space to criminal gags today. power, this is the cycle we need to break while some fear becoming victims of violence. others have accepted the slow takeover by crime syndicates. a symptom, perhaps, of the distrust many have of authorities complicating the efforts to win back control of the city from the criminal groups who are trying to run it. manuel rap,

a low al jazeera, puerto prince. now court documents showing the thumb that you asked act. alec baldwin fired on sat killing. a woman was handed to him under instruction that it was safe, its kind, an assistant director indicated. the prop was unloaded by shouting cold gun cinematography alena hutchins was fatally shot on the set of the film rust on thursday. films director who was standing behind. i was also wounded. alec baldwin has been questioned, but no one has been charged. the crew member who handled weapons on the sat as previously spoken about her doubts in doing that job. phil laval joins us live now from los angeles, and it seems as though that the scrutiny is really intensifying around the set of practices and protocol on this films that yeah, and a lot of details. going to marry some courtesy of these court documents that have been released others because a number of s, insiders anonymous sources of speaking, some fairly reputable use organizations here in the united states. i'm going to

stress that these all bear accounts, but they paint a show a picture of a sat where it appears many were concerned about a lack of gun safety. they referred to an incident last saturday in which alec baldwin, stung double apparently was given a gun that he was told was a cold gun, which means that there is no light ammunition twice. it was discharged and live amunition. i was released, we have that camera operate as a power compact complain that conditions were unsafe. it's alleged that apparently some members of the crew walked out in protest and it's believed that other members, fresh members were brought in to replace them as the shoot had to be concluded on somebody's camera operators and others made complaints, they say, and they say that the feeling they were given was that this was a rush job that the job had to be completed. we're also hearing about what appears to have happened on thursday. alec baldness you say, given that gun by the assistant director, alec baldwin, under the impression that it was cold, therefore safe, the assistant director also on that impression documents. so while those sources

saying that a number of firearms were on display of beliefs, 3, they've not been taken away. the big question is, why were the crew so close to this gun? now the reason for this is because in hollywood now it's pretty typical when there is a gun seen by use a gun. that's because c, g i post production is so powerful that they can add the muzzle flat, smoke all the other effects and post production. sometimes they will use a replica, sorry, a real gun, but they would use blank grounds. the reason is because they once got to be coiled reflex. perfect. it is almost unheard of for live rounds to be used on a movie set. the reason that they were so close, because normally when a gum scene is filmed, they are at a safe distance, is because they weren't filming, at the time, they were lining up their shots. and what alec baldwin pulled his gun out of the holster. it is partly it misfired, it had higher in the chest, causing the fatal wound on the director in the shoulder. obviously, this is an ongoing investigation that are in there. what questions and answers?

thank you so much from los angeles. phil avow the thai government is cracking down on critics if it's covered 19 vaccine plan. dozens of people have been jailed and charged with defaming the monarchy for questioning why the countries king, the only fund producing the vaccines. got idle has more than the capital bangkok, the earlier this month's supporters gathered in front of bangkok, reman prison, calling for the release of protesters jailed for royal defamation or article 11 to 2 of those had been the only participants of a protests which resulted in them being held without bail high, high government can get they act together, the government, a monarchy, and all the benefits at the protest in front of the headquarters. the pharmaceutical firm owned by thailand, king size bio science, the 2 protest in question the governments move to award and fund its local astrazeneca vaccine production solely to the firm. the backbone of thailand, cove,

in 19 response, when opposition m. p. 's asked for greater transparency, the government released the copy of the contract between astrazeneca and seen him by a sign. the critical sections of the contract were blocked out like the budget, the schedule for vaccine distribution and numbers of shots that a leading opposition figure also charged with royal defamation. for criticizing the siam bias nights deal was officially read his charge last week and i was questioning the test period of this deal doubt whether it's beneficial to to the monarchy. because if there is any failure in the production, then the people will question the king as the ultimate or no other company. and he said the government's hands are tied, it can't pursue legal action against side by side with the king as the firm's head . in responding to a question from al jazeera, regarding the jailing,

a peaceful activists for protesting outside signing bio sciences headquarters, astrazeneca declined to comment. kenneth torn sees the government crackdown a public outcry about the deal to be a low point for the country, saying there are more royal defamation cases now than ever before. i think this is the age of free. don't been dial and one wireless group pushed for the charges against the 2 young protesters saying they're focused on the wrong issue. pulled up and i think the conflict of interest is not the issue that we should focus on. we have to focus on the current crisis, not the fact that the company will have the patient and right to produce more vaccine in the future. so while governments and leaders around the world are working on ways to move on from the pandemic, adopting a policy of transparency about coven 19 thailand's government appears to be focused on putting people in prison, who are asking for that same openness. got hardly al jazeera,
