ah, ah the taliban and said it sees going on 2nd and 3rd largest cities, kandahar and harass put the medicines wrapping up their countryside. country what offensive and the u. s. rule. about things from 5 madana show a severe drop in it because he was faced with the delta variance that's according to an american study. 5. how it is. and volunteers bottle huge while was in rushes for re worth they drew most sees in 4th, smoke and sharp coated huge areas. correspondence is in the thick of it, firefighters have now created this mineralized zone. this basically the whole purpose of this is that the fire, if you can see it's still burning there, it will not be able to pass beyond the zone. ah,

why for moscow? thanks for joining us tonight on our team. and i shall on daniel hooking through of you. all right, welcome to the program. now we thought with breaking news coming in from up going to stone where the taliban says they seize the country, 2nd and 3rd largest cities, kandahar and herat and verify videos circulating on social media supposedly showing again, security office, flea, and just half an hour before the taliban announcement within the past hour, the us embassy and to bull, all american citizens to leave afghanistan immediately. so far as to offer low to americans and able to afford plane tickets. home criminal journalists will also already describe to me to describe it, to my colleague the deteriorating situation across the country. more do you know about the capture of kandahar the taliban claims? according to some icons, that of the province is only left with

a 6 or 7 of his body guards refusing to leave. he's from kandahar we heard reports of heavy fighting between the taliban and members of the con, the heart police inside the police headquarters. we have to really remember that come to heart is the home of senior thought about leaders and commanders. this is where they started their movement in the 1990. i think it's also a very embarrassing scenario for the americans, the international community in nickel, when a place like falls. and i'm, one of sam does not have that credible piece process or a comprehensive and permanent sci fi was the american officials and other wisdom officials publicly, priding on the fact that the top to bottom, we're not to do this, that's all about, we're not to do that in this and now the african people are left extremely vulnerable. that is not to say that the african government was not incompetent. that is not to say that i've gotten politicians in africa and government failed to

put the country before their own political interest in political bickering and one really feel sorry for africa and soldiers, you know, like they've been bearing the brunt of this conflict. so many within the african military are now asking, why did we did? why so many sacrifices allow, the americans will say they put in the money they put in the effort. they've had significant losses themselves. and i've now pretty much said you're on the road and it's up to you to sort it out to you now say, judging by what you've just said, that that, that hope is somewhat futile. well, one's a speak to the americans from a very been full past when the russians who are defeated here, the americans basically left there was nothing for them which led to the civil war . the rise of tyler bond in the 911 attacks. so many have ones are saying fine, you're leaving, but leave responsibly, you know, leave what the peace process commit to that, you know, don't lit up on a stan fall back to the 1990 s the dynamics. so quite dangerous, this time for the region for one is and in for the world. and let's also not forget

to know what has been dubbed time and again by, by western countries in every other country as be stopped. these are efforts to start be stuck. these talks have not resulted in an end to the bloodshed and suffering of the african people. and now we are looking at a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions where one's of lost their homes that harvest the cause, their businesses and the situation could actually get worse. there could be a domino impact on provinces in and around. cobble in cobble itself does face a massive risk just how significant is monetary and crisis in afghanistan right now . one children continue to get killed in tragically, shockingly big numbers. we also know that there are civilian casualties and fatalities, but remember, more than a 1000000 ones have been forced to leave their homes, their 1000000 more, who are caught in the fighting. and these major urban centers who fled, who have been displaced over the years in these districts in these provinces. and

now they have gotten nowhere to go and those who have been able to come to cobble few 1000. and they've only been able to basically bring with themselves a pair of clothes. the united states has told all american citizens and at the embassy that they should leave afghanistan for their safety and other american official earlier said he expected cobble to fall within 90 days. how well defended is cobble is 90 days optimistic, while these statements do cause psychological torture and turbulence among ones. but, you know, we have to also remember that all of these countries, except for the united states in great britain, especially to keep deporting ones give saying that i want to start a safe and only recently they have stopped at process temporarily. at least you know. so a couple does face the risk of taliban attacks, large scale attacks because the districts of cobbled province are not secure the

provinces in and around. cobble like low that in water that i've seen a lot of taliban advances and i'm afraid you know, this is a very psychological fear. now, among other ones, when you hear such big names kandahar here, od mazata. when you hear one official surrendering and making their own deals, it is ought to have a very destructive and negative impact on the psyche and confidence of african people and cobbled will taliban has been sweeping through the country in recent weeks. seizing nearly a dozen provinces, the mass events have developed in the wake of the pens against withdraw. the thought about advance comes as talks and cats are between, i've already gotten a ton about a failed, produce a piece deal. meanwhile, washington has made it clear that it won't come to couples. rescue african leaders have to come together. we lost thousands at last death in injury. thousands

of american personnel got to fight for themselves. meanwhile, a number of us news outlet side, an undisclosed intelligence official, claiming that in the capital kabul could fall to the taliban within 90 days. well, let's take a look at the situation right now when it's in control, 2 thirds of the country that seem here in the north and east in red. that leaves i've got a government forces. see here in green, very much sure. on the retreat in this much diminished territory. now the rest are currently contested. regions as you can see. now these lewis have taken hold of some districts in very close proximity to the capital that's out of out and rub it up. it's offensive in april lot followed jo biden's announcement he was pulling american troops out now at the time the group how less than a 5th of the countries territory. now as you can see, that's going right up that to more than 50 percent it's seen. i've got government

control dara, shrink from about 30 percent of the country to just 16 percent. now, the pentagon though and so if the full of cobble is not necessarily on the cards, we are certainly mindful of the advances that the taliban have made in terms of taking over yet an increased number of, of provincial capitals. other thing i'd say is that no potential outcome has to be inevitable, including the, the fall of cobble, which everybody seems to be reporting about. it doesn't have to be that way. within the house, he showing no sign of abating and i've got to stand un has warned that nearly 400000 people have had to leave their home since the start of the year with a huge spikes. and my un says that a slight fever heading to cobol in search of safety. it was just some of the rinsing stories, the refugee i have been displaced from telecontact, the telephone killed my son. they took all the belongings from my house. i'm

satisfied with them in front of the punch me in the mouth, causing my teeth to fall out. they demanded my son and i told them that he's a school teacher. she recently became a teacher and had not even received his salary yet. had a class has broke out or taken hostage in the fighting, went on for about 6 or 7 days, but we couldn't go outside to do anything we managed to escape. and now we are displeased to not we spoke earlier to 15. galani here is negotiating with the taliban for the african government in guitars, capital doha, and is also leading women's rights activists. she told us, the thought could be the last chance for peace. we're live down by the us. we are let down by the whole world. you will drag in this war 42 years ago and it's going on and on the countries burning non stop. we saw just few years of comparatively peace and now it is growing again. we have to come to an understanding that this is

the last opportunity and we have to go to change this country. i'm live together. politically, i saw that i saw what is happening to the government side or the side of our sites . we should look to the eye of those people who are this place. i people that they are hurting and told them that we have still an opportunity will side of the negotiation table in the because they will side one side. and that's my side is the people of mine is done from north africa and southern europe and beyond months of wildfires becoming a growing catastrophe firefighters and even the military are battling to bring the vast and deadly fires on the control. the

lease in russia is one of the areas devastated as well. almost 5000 people are fighting the flames and the huge you could you region with 700 pieces of equipment deployed as well. fix smokers, 4th, airports to cancel. flight with officials, confirming permissible exposure. limit for toxic smoke happen. brief residents. a complaining of shortness of breath and dry eyes. a state of emotions you've been in force in the area from where to be true. powell sent us this report, me ooh

ah. so we're still traveling to the village where we're expected to meet the firefighters that some of those we actually saw yesterday. but right now on the way, we couldn't help but stopped at this scenic location. it's late covered and smoke a red sky above it. and over looking all of this is a bunch of cows. some dogs, some people who live here, this is their life. and now it's all covered in smoke. and we know how close the fires have gotten to this place specifically, but firefighters. there's a bunch of equipment. there's a lot of volunteers. so i think these guys are safe and these cows and these dogs definitely to now we're going to head back on the road to the village, which is now under threat of fire. me. if you're wondering what the raj all these places looks like. something like this,

the last step is when you full of fires the most difficult as it encompasses enlarge area. the mineral lines area has been created along the perimeter and that area has now been dug up from the today. so we just arrived at one of the locations where the firefighters have now created this mineralized zone. this basically a whole purpose of this is that the fire, if you can see it's still burning there, it will not be able to pass beyond the zone. also this area has obviously been burned off, which is one of the ways they stop the fires. you know that a fire is coming from the direction so they burn everything off. so they make that trench the mineralized zone than the sort of burn off. as you can see,

the ground hears all ash, all of this is ash ah, the result of his employees from the ministry emergency situation. everyone is head plow, plough manage, extinguish, saw. so. well, this fire does not prevent any immediate threats any people, but so it still feels just kind of good to have a part in extinguishing it. so now is just a bunch of smoke but there's no me. ah, so we've traveled back to the village that is currently being threatened by the wildfires. there is one coming from one side and the other. it's chaos right now.

we tried to go to the fires, but this place is very big. and so we just didn't have enough time to reach it. it's way too far away, and it's through very dense wilderness. the only thing that can get through there are things like this, but they're all packed with firefighters. but we did see the mineralized line that they made. we saw the burn off and the, the aftermath of that burn off the burns trees the burned ground. we walked to know for at least an hour through all of the we still couldn't reach the fire. we decided to head back, it was just too much blood that was taking its whole on our eyes on our breath, on our lungs. it's very rough out there. the guys are there constantly. some of them have been there for 40 days already and even they are getting tired already. so i think at least now many people have gotten understanding of what it takes to battle these wildfires to battle nature. and how can you call of this can be i have

information about our t a warring drop in efficacy with pfizer and madana covered vaccines has been marked and a new american study show they get significantly against the delta strain. after 6 months correspondence with franco joined us to explain the findings. this is a so called pre print study, which means that it hasn't gone through the peer review yet, but the study contains numbers. the numbers outline, the trends, and they are scary. they cannot be ignored, even though they only come from one state of minnesota. but there are about the efficacy and when it comes to preventing infection for z, madera vaccine, the efficacy has dropped from 86 percent in january to 76 percent in july. however, with pfizer, it's been a real statistical nosedive because the efficacy has fallen from 76 percent in

january to 42 percent. and experts are linking all this with the spread of the delta various in the us. now i've said that this is a pre print study. however, the overall situation with corona virus in the us is echoing these numbers and it does look scary because if you look at the daily growth a bit more than a month ago, it was about plus 12000 new cases in one day. and you know what they registered on august. the 11th plus $155000.00 southern states are reporting that they are running out of intensive care unit beds. and here's what we heard from one doctor who was working with corporate patients in the region of food . we're going back to when you to go, when you have a few base or full. so we have to put pins more than happy to allow 2 people to come on

a while. the spread of the delta variant is clearly set to become a nightmare for. ready american officials, without full vaccination of a vast majority of the population, most likely new variance will keep appearing. and again, perhaps they will be more dangerous. and this is something that senior medical experts have been warning about for, while long as the virus continues to spread. you give it ample opportunity to mutate and when you give an ample opportunity to mutate, you may sooner relate a get another variant. and it is possible that that variant might be in some respects worse than the already very difficult, very, and we're dealing with now. so any thoughts or reassurance from any officials on this was so far in common to the 1st reported on the minnesota study as senior joe biden, administration. officials said the following, literally, if that's not a wake up call, i don't know what is and perhaps at this point these guys aren't that key to

comment on that worsening situation because only a bit more than a month ago during the 4th of july celebrations. joe biden was more than just optimistic about his efforts against colbert. thanks to our roaring fact seen efforts, we gain the upper hand against this virus. we can live our lives. our kids can go back to school. our economy is rory back. well, this is what joe bought was a bit more than a month ago. now the situation is completely different and it could turn into a complete flow for the government, trying to stay positive things that they need to vaccine in the mix. how many others holding up? i'm going to give you 2 other names. and in that case, the situation is much more promising. that is johnson and johnson and rushes. sputnik being out for the 1st one i mentioned the efficacy against the delta variant is at and 95 percent,

which is impressive when it comes to rushes. sputnik fee, the efficacy drops, just like in the case of but there are no. and pfizer, but it only dropped to 83 percent, which is still an impressive result compared to 42 percent of pfizer. so perhaps this is the reason why the developer of sputnik be suggested and proposed cooperation with pfizer. suggesting starting trials with sputnik as a booster jap. let's see what kind of response they're going to get. because we do remember that despite being allowed in dozens of countries, sputnik, we has not yet been officially approved by the world health organization research and position runs. you brought so some countries are cutting themselves off from scientific advances for political reasons. this whole pandemic really held a mirror out. the well did show many on the truth about our political system, about health and equality about inequality globally. and of course,

about the political motive ation, which interfere with what other light be strictly scientific and medical consideration. so for example, in, in britain, we have been point forward in making huge contracts with united states and other countries to buy their vaccines. but we have to ignore the efficacy, both of the russian vaccine and of course of the chinese. and it does seem that we're going to suffer as a result of the funding find vaccine tickler was 1st to publish the site 3 results. and at that time showed in 1906 percent efficacy was the most effective vaccines really. and it does seem the efficacy holding up very well. but we are cutting off of the political reasons from the scientific advances that are available in the world today. stay with us, you're not into national. more news coming up. just thought it was short break. the

hello, driven by a dreamer shaped by those in me dares things we dare to ask me. ah, crap. trillions of dollars that they send to chinese workers and chinese factory owners who make the world goods that they shipping containers into amazon warehouses than wal mart stores. where millions and millions of americans

work at a less than survivor, a wall minimum wage and are for the 1st time in america, life expectancy is going down. the russian authorities say a black sea oil spill as cool, significant environmental damage scientists, warmer scale disaster is much worse and initially reported lee came as crude was being pumped from a terminal on. so greek flag tanker that's according to the company that owns the terminal. it was initially claimed that just 12 cubic meters, a whirl spilled in the sea and that the leak was contained quickly. russian scientists analyzed satellite data and fall and damage covered an area 400000 times larger than the 1st claimed. the terminals office who is now being search committed investigation into how the spill was allowed to spread that of the national

environmental watchdogs. as a current appears, human error was to blame because it took place and you just simple negligence. there was no technical failure, no extraordinary circumstances. people simply failed to perform their direct duties and ended up with an oil fountain in the middle of the black sea waters. on marine, the experts award in there is a significant threat to see life, the world wildlife fund from the show. russia says key protected sites have been effected from those spill in kilometers to the loan. there is national reserves. what important jobs for florida on that and the way already a tech formation this site, some pollution folder in here, dodge nicole slide with i'm claim that for that activity just to clean up the door to keep this spiel near the facility you trailed. and that's

why we have so huge distribution of all the oil all around the area. as soon as the global demand for oil is, is decreasing, which i think about about stopping them. where most are you skin russian like white lives. and actually this pipeline know the kid is area of the whole country is too risky, i think for, for, for the, for, for, for us the right thing, columbia continue to raise it with us or mark through the streets of the go to the morning, the resignation of president declared belief you gas and got into the 1st the crowd is full, but hurting rocks and incendiary devices. the must have ministrations throughout that and april spot by grievances that for a tax increase on

a certain type of cases. money saying the national health system has failed. deadly flash floods from torrential rains of struck northern turkeys, black sea region, with streets covenant debris from damaged buildings and 4 trees. catherine swept away by the motor, military helicopters of being used to rescue survivors. at least 6 people have been killed amid the devastation. is cancel culture killing comedy, plenty of stand ups, and comic seemed to think so. they say the laughter business is the threat because offending the so called p c mold. could be korea ending material to try and please everyone your please know, one with comedy as well. you've got, i think you've got to deal with the booze and content issues. and sometimes you did an irony, some people don't get, not when everybody gets safe and nobody tries anything. things get boring, right. moving. so i see a lot of unfunny comedians. i see unfunny tv shows,

you know, it's hard to be a comedian as it is. and if you're going to muscle someone and they have to be careful what they say, it makes it that much more difficult. so we should to stand up. no censorship here and comedian should not be afraid. and they should not be attack by others who are the twitter police or, or the morality police. where do you draw the line or to stay on the job? many comic. so if you have to comply with the more work agenda avoiding controversial jokes. like these 3, like a 100 pounds overweight, i'm like, why don't you show some respect and lose a little weight. next time you have the middle seat on a flight, you won't be so. literally the only thing a molded woman wearing a berg in an engine and common is an order survive. they both need to be quiet. i

dealt with the restaurants and that indian food that indian cuisine, indian food, potatoes and poverty, american community nectar, underactive, seth rogan has no trouble towing the p. c line saying comics, criticism of it has been to brush and people on the social media say there are plenty of up and coming comedians, happy to play it safer with 0 becomes tomorrow's unacceptable and out of touch gig . some say there's no evidence that council was rude and curious on mass, comedian matt, or for layer maurice though that increasing self censorship is a troubling trend. comedy is something that brings people together in why, why would you want to get rid of that? yes, some people will be offended by some jokes. not everybody finds the same things funny, but the potential is there, like what brings people more than anything else? is comedy and you know, i don't think it's just comedians, you know,

people in general are certainly self censoring. they don't wanna lose their job over something they said 10 years ago or just ever they don't want to get censored or lose their income for a joke. so of course people are self censoring that they've seen for alex simon. so killing away in just a few moments time. we're back in the office with the latest join us again. that me the ah, the ah, ah.

the staves crash. trillions of dollars that they send to chinese workers and chinese factory owners who make the world goods that they shipping containers into amazon warehouses in wal mart stores where millions and millions of americans work at a less than survivor, a wall minimum wage and are for the 1st time in america life expecting the thing is going down the .
