me the ton about and says it's either going to on 2nd and 3rd largest cities tend to ha and head out with a medicines ramping up their country. why defensive? amid the us troop withdrawal vaccine from 5 madana show a severe drop in efficacy when faced with the bill to the area. and that's according to an american study. firefighters and volunteers bottled huge wildfires in russia the far east where a state of emergency is in for smoke and coded huge areas. all correspondence is in the think of it, firefighters have now created this mineralized zone. this is basically the whole purpose of this is that the fire, if you can see it still burning there, it will not be able to pass beyond the zone. ah,

for most go, thanks for joining us. the north 19th and i shall. i'm daniel hawkins with you tonight. welcome to the program. but we start breaking news this our coming into us from the western russian c t o vote on ish, we're a passenger pass has reportedly exploded. 12 passengers were injured. one woman lost both her leg. well, there are reports of a guest last the driver of the bus. so said that couldn't have been the case. much services are unseen. investigating the cause of bringing more updates as they do come in the and which was going to stand out where the taliban says it sees the country 2nd and 3rd largest cities, era and verified video circulating on social media. you can see here apparently

showing up got security voices for can now just half an hour before the taliban is announcement. us embassy in call is now urgent. all american citizens to leave us, going to start immediately. and so far as offer loans to americans unable for, for the plane, tickets, home media reports, the cleaning embassy saw will also be evacuated while the us military couple journalists told us earlier about the theories and national security situation. what more do you know about the capture of kandahar as the taliban claims? according to some icons, the governor of the province is only left with a 6 or 7 of his body guards the that refusing to leave. he's from kandahar we heard reports of heavy fighting between the taliban and members of the con, the police inside the police headquarters. we have to really remember that kandahar is the home of senior, all of our leaders and commanders. this is where they started their movement in the

1990 s. i think it's also a very embarrassing scenario for the americans. the international community inital, when a place like cotton r falls in line is time does not have a 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 taliban were not to do this, the thought about were not to do that. and 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 felt to put the country before their own political interest and 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. do you now see, judging by just set that, that that hope is somewhat futile? well, i wonder, do you speak to him? he comes from over a band 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 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 stand fall back to the 1990 s the dynamics. so quite dangerous, this time for the region for i want to sign in for the world. and let's also not forget, you know, what has been dubbed time and again by, by western countries in every other countries be stocks. these are efforts to start b stuff. these talks of 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 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 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 that the united states has told all american citizens and at the embassy that they should leave afghanistan for that 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 other ones. but you know, we have to also remember that all of these countries, except for the united states and great britain, especially to keep deporting ones give saying that i want to sign a safe and only recently they have stopped that 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 province is in and around cobbled like globe and water that i've seen a lot of taliban advances and i'm afraid you know, this is a very psychological fear. now among 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 couple about has been sweeping through the country in recent weeks. seizing nearly a dozen provinces, the mass offensive developed in the wake of the pentagon withdrawal. advance comes as talks and cast out between us all, thirties, i'm a about a failed to produce a peace deal. meanwhile, washington has made it clear that it won't come to a couple of rescue. african leaders have to come together. we lost thousands at last death and injury. thousands of american personnel got to fight for themselves. well meanwhile, number of news outlets in the us side on disclose intelligence officials, claiming that the capital cobble could fall to the taliban within 90 days. well, let's take a look at the situation right now. the one isn't control, 2 thirds of the country see me and read, especially in the north, west, east and south as well. that leaves us can government forces seen here and green in

the central area, much diminished territory. the other areas currently course are contested. now these, these mis have taken hold of some districts in very close proximity to the capital . that's all about and wrapped up their offensive in april that followed us. president strope winds that al smith was pulling troops out to kinda storm. now that fun, these, this group held less than a 5th all the countries territory. that's gone up to more than half in recent month . it's the now government controlled area shrink from about 30 percent of the country to just 16 percent as things stand. the pentagon loan system, the fall of cobble is not necessarily on the cove. 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. was he showing no sign of biting? and i've got to stop the un has warned that nearly 400000 people have had to leave their homes since the thought of the year with a huge spike since may un says the display people are heading to couple in search of safety. you know, just some of the heart wrenching stories, the refugees have to tell, have been displaced from telecom. the telephone killed my son. they took all the belongings from my house and set fire to demonstrate 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 and we were taken hostage in the fighting, went on for about 6 to 7 days that we couldn't go outside to do anything we managed to escape. and now where displaced lolia, my colleague column bray spoke to her team ago. lonnie, he's involved in the afghan government's official negotiations with the taliban and

the category capital of doha. she told us the silks could be the final shops for peace. we're live down by the us, we are let down by the whole world. you will drag in this war 43 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 to the eye. oh, those people that they are hurting and told them that we have still an opportunity will side of the negotiation table in the because they double side, there is

a one side and that's one side is the people of mine is done for more of africa to 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 under control. the moon me in on eastern rushes, one of the areas devastated almost 5000 people are fighting the flames and acute

you could your region with 70, with 700 pieces of equipment deployed as well. thanks. motors forced air force. the cancel flights officials have confirmed permissible exposure limits for toxic smog have been breached with residents complaining of shortness of breath and dry eyes. a state for emotions he has been enforcing the area from where dmitri power sends us this report. me. ah, so we're still traveling through 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 stop at this. scenic location is late covered and smoke a red sky above it. and all we're 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 lose. the last step when you full of fire is the most difficult as it encompasses enlarge area. the mineral eyes area has been created along the perimeter, and that area has now been dug up from there today. so we just arrived at one of

the locations where the firefighters have now created this mineralized zone. this is 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. 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, then the started 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, the emergency situation. so everyone is head, plow, plough, manage, extinguish, saw. so while this fire does not represent 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 your 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 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. it was taking its whole on our eyes on our breath, on our lungs. very rough out there. the guys are, they're 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 chaos call of this can be i have information about r t warring drop in advocacy with applies and madana code vaccines has been marked in a new american study showing the depth significantly against the build a strain of a 6 month correspond until with franco john mccollum calling to explain the new findings. this is a so called pre print study, which means that it hasn't gone through peer review yet,

but the study contains numbers. the numbers outlined 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 the moderne a 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. busy than a month ago, it was about plus $12000.00 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 bed. and here's what we heard from one doctor who was working with corporate patients in the region. we're going back to your when you to go, when you don't have you basis for the we have to put pins more than happy to allow 2 people to come on a while. the spread of the delta variance is clearly set to become a nightmare for 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. ready very difficult, very, and we're dealing with now any thoughts, reassurance from any officials on this? well, so far it common to the outlet that 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 facts, seen efforts, we gain the apprehend 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 these. they don't, they need to, vaccines 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 95 percent, which is impressive when it comes to rushes. sputnik fee the efficacy dropped, 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 b as not yet been officially approved by the world health organization research and physician runs you bra. so some countries that cut themselves off from scientific advances for political reasons. this whole pandemic really held a mirror out for the well did show many of 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 quite full would, in making huge a contract with united states and other countries to buy their vaccines. but we have to just 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 that at the, at the sputnik 5 vaccine tickler was 1st to publish it say 3 results and at that time showed in 96 percent efficacy was the most effective the vaccines really. and it does seem that efficacy is holding up very well, but we are cutting off the political reasons from the scientific advances that are available in the world today. i stay with us more news setting away just after this short break. ah hello, driven by a dreamer shaped by those in me dares

thing. we dare to ask me. ah, save prints 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 authority,

say black c will spill is still significant environmental damage scientists war and the scale of it is off as much worse than initially reported. the lead came, was crude was being pumped onto a greek flag tanker that's according to the company that owns the terminal. it was initially claimed that just 12 cubic meters of oil spill into the thing and that the leak was contained quickly. russian scientists though analyzed satellite data and found the damage covered an area 400000 times larger than the 1st claimed to terminals offices and being search committed investigation into how the spring was allowed to spread that national environmental watchdog says it currently appears. human error was to blame with a foreigner, 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. or marine experts, woman with a significant threat to see life, the world wildlife fun for nature. russia says key protective sites have been

effected from those spill in killing and just a lot there is national reserves. what important to us for flooring on that and the way already a tech formation this site, some pollution over in here, the coal slide with i'm claim that for that activity just to clean up to, to keep this spill facility u. k. a. 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 skin russian like white lies and actually this pipeline know the key

result area of the whole country is too risky. i think for, for, for the, for, for, for us capital culture killing comedy, plenty of stan ups and comic seem to think so. they say the laughter business is on the threat because offending the so called pc mold. korea ending material to try and please everyone, your, please. no one with comedy is while you go, i think god 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 movie. so i see a lot of unfunny comedians 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 comments i feel we have to comply with the more workers your and the reward and 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 filling. literally the only thing a mold woman wearing a berkeley and an engine and comment 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 comedian, actor and director seth rogan's. no trouble towing a p. c line saying comics, criticism of it has been to brush and people of social media say there are plenty

of up and coming comedians, happy to play cipher. today's a material becomes tomorrow's unacceptable and out of touch. good. comedian matter or failure though, worries that increasing sales 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 want to 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 stuff too much about breaking you. story from the western russia city varnish or a passenger bus has exploded with 12 people said to be injured. one passenger has

lost both her legs. the incident flew out debris many meters around the vehicle. several possible causes all being investigated, including a gas bras, federal security service, who's carrying out the restoration at the scene, and is searching for the possible explosive liqueurs report killing away just a few moments time. we're back in half an hour. the latest join us again for the updates. mm. the news

me, one of the worst ever nash shootings in america was in las vegas in 2017. the tragedy a close a little of the real last vegas. where many say elected officials are controlled by casino and the vegas shooting revealed what the l v m p d really is. and now it's part of the spin machine to the american public barely remember that it happens, that just shows you the power of money and las vegas. the powerful showed that true colors when the pen demick heard the most contagious contagion that we've seen in decades. and then you have a mayor who doesn't care. so here's caroline goodman offering.
