the headlining right now, advancing by the hour, the taliban makes rapid territorial games in afghanistan with the report saying the medicine starting 50 kilometers from the capitol, inciting a massive accusation. while the use open door policy seems to be slamming shut with the block, split over african refugees, several states insist on their right to forcibly to port rejected asylum seekers and a powerful blast test through a passenger busted. the town of ron western russia leading to dead and 17 aged courses, and yet no, i witnessed the explosion hit the vehicle extremely hard. the explosion was very loud. so loud, i was deafening for some time. and the blood pressure was so high that my car was almost pushed to the other side of the road. ah,

hello live, i'm worldwide. this is out the international from moscow on call him bray with the developing stories are across for you. this is our 1st to afghanistan where the us back government is quickly losing control following to withdraw pentagon troops. as the taliban make sweeping gains with militants now reported to be just 50 kilometers from the capitol cobble. the estimates groups already see the 2nd and 3rd largest cities kandahar and harass him. recent days, 5 video circulating on social media, purportedly showing off down security forces, flea and kandahar just half an hour before the taliban said that it had the stablished control. the u. s. embassy and cobble is urging all americans to leave the country immediately go against far as too often loans because i was unable to afford plane tickets home and use any available commercial carriers. well, here's the situation as it stands right now, but it's changing expert and the the medicines control around 2 thirds of the

country right now. you can see their areas marks in red. the government forces a much diminish territory for them out there in green. what's left of those contested regions? now currently the islamists have taken hold of strategically crucial locations very near the capital to 50 kilometers away. as i said earlier, the tell about any ramped up it's offensive back in april after the us president announced it was pulling out troops. at the same time, the taliban then help less than a 5th of the country. but you wind forward to this week and now they control while over half with the taliban taking hold of multiple provinces in a single day. us troops back to work and afghan. stan, albeit with a slightly different mission of getting american embassy stuff out of the country. however, the pentagon struggling to say whether a complete withdrawal will be conducted on time. does this mean the u. s. military withdrawl is not going to be complete by august 31st. again. what i said was, we're aiming to facilitate the reduction of the civilian personnel by august 31st.

so it's all lining up on the same timeline. i won't speculate about what the footprints gonna look like post to august 31st because there's this additional mission set of, of helping process special immigrants. so we're just going to have to wait and see, but the drop down itself is still on track to be complete by august 31st. that makes no sense. john, i know i know what your troops, i know what you're saying, lucas. okay, another line to tell you about on this british forces, of course, are also withdrawing the country's defense secretary's already gravely warning that afghanistan is on the brink of collapse. he says, tell about militants clearly have the momentum across the country, and the canister is heading toward civil war. predicting too that the battle scarred nation when again become a greek breeding ground for al qaeda. right, let's go live to western, so corresponded there is shouting with dashti high. what do we more more, do we know that about the u. k. is reaction well, all options on the table is the latest from the u. k. the defense secretary friend

wallace, as he tries to prevent an all out civil war enough on the stone is the u. k. begins to retreat troops out of the country. now, ever since us taliban peace still. what we've seen is nature that we have all begun to retreat, but what's left is this how a political vacuum in the region, seeing the taliban totally taking control and tipping that balance of power? now not only will a poverty of course increase on political de stabilisation, but what's a key worry is terrorism could also still be on the rise. and that's why you case, defendant secretary is now saying that pulling out of the region is a huge mistake. we were in this position where it's all about how clearly to manage across the country take our leaving. that was announced yesterday. we are leaving alongside them. and that leaves a, as you say, a very, very big problem on the ground developing with the taliban failed states around the

world lead to instability lead to a security threat to us and our interest. we are very clear about that. that's why the, the west has to learn. you don't fix problems, you manage problems. robot wallace has also said that the united kingdom may act if ask on a stone again began to hobb a terrorism, particularly if it pose an international threat like it did arguably some 18 years ago. but many anti war activists argue that the foreign policy has never been about to humanitarian mission, nor was it about democracy and only ever saw the land become the place of conflict in battle, ground giving rise to the tale bound. and as you have mentioned, what we see now is the tale about all accelerating the dominance taking over 12 of afghanistan's 30 full provincial capitals in just the we can. many areas are now falling to the taliban as a particular ring around kabul. at this point,

many people question and all you, whether or not the type i will go directly to try and seize, cobble and according to the united nations. the afghan war has now entered its more destructive phase with casualties. climbing over one and a half a 1000 in the past 4 weeks alone. and all of this really has cause a lot of anger. here in britain, even with many m. p, some of which have even served in the, on the occupation over the last 20 years. that incredibly angry. and all of that pulling out is a complete mistake on a huge failure. the operation broke was worse. it took families apart, left children orphans and parents to cry alone. the decision to withdraw is like a rug pulled from under the feet of our partners. that's why i'm angry. it's wasteful and unnecessary. and why is it personal? because i've seen what it costs and what sacrifices are being thrown away. and i

know who's going to pay for it. we will what it's actually a pretty desperate time for the united kingdom is actually sending in around $600.00 troops to try and get british nationals out, see it out, a short term basis rescue mission if you like. but for those in afghanistan, both citizens simply call and guess how this is incredibly, a tragic and scary time for all of them as a taliban relentlessly takes over. but ultimately for nato allies, britain and america, the last 20 is ending up like this is incredibly humiliating. because they tried to rebuild that on stabilize the region. and now it seems as though with the tale and take over the country could be worse off than ever. and of course, nature is going to meet about this tomorrow though it does feel a bit like closing the door off the horses both is right for now. shoddy edwards dash the outside the ministry defense in london. thank you. well, it's not conflict sharpens the u. ends warning that nearly 400000 civilians have

had to leave their homes already this year with a particular spike. since may, the organization adds the many displays. people are heading to cargo to flee the taliban. but living in extremely precarious conditions. here were just some of the heart wrenching stories from refugees. i mean just from telecom to the telephone, killed my son because of the belongings from my house. i'm trying to be punch me in the mouth, causing my teeth to fall out. they demanded my son, and i told them that she's a school teacher. she recently became a teacher and had not even received salary. had a cautious, broken, taken hostage at the fighting when the old days. but i couldn't go outside and we managed to escape. and now we cannot displaced afghans who seek asylum may not be welcome in the year either with the block currently loggerheads, what to do with refugees and those fleeing violence. next to ortiz fall asleep delves into what happened to brussels open door policy. european union is split

what to do with african refugees speaking, assign them in the letter to the european commission, civil countries insisted they have the right to force to be deport those whose cases have been rejected. they vote that not to deport them, would motivate more refugees, to flee to europe. we would like to highlight the urgent need to perform returns both voluntary and non voluntary to afghan. a stan stopping return sends the wrong signal, and it's likely to motivate even more afghan citizen to leave the home for the e. u. the situation in afghanistan is deterioration by the all when it comes to the us and nato prepaid. what's called a proof that the end of the month, after decades long war, the situation is so bad that the netherlands, germany, and phone have decided to pause the deportation to be for now. the situation in afghanistan is likely to change and events for the coming period are

so uncertain that i have decided to introduce a more atoria on deputation decisions and departures. agrees, or stress belgian and denmark standing. they want the rejected, assign them because the e u is not really and does not have the capacity to kind of another major migration crisis. why your guns are waiting, make up around 10 percent of asylum seekers. they're the 2nd largest group after syrians and for a continent still scarred by the migration crisis of 56 years ago. there was a feeling of a who, a feeling of having been they before, that has your opinions worried. they might be on the verge of a fish refugee crisis. those people who are here from a gun is done, they're not my. they're a few gees and asylum seeker. and that is why it is very important to remember. at

all, western countries have signed humour a convention refugee convention. and they are duty bound to has anyone, not only of guns, but syrians are anybody who come to the, to their country? and as far as them, because you are in the country, are any conflict personnel tech to, to their life. so i think then the western countries say, oh, we don't care if a wider, if you just go home or you for them. i think this is a violation of humor, right. and we should do that kind of thing. morning is from around the world to greenville in california, where the so called dixie fire has destroyed more than a 1000 homes since rubbing in mid july. most of the towns been burned to the ground . well then a dozen other mountain and rural communities have also been lost to the flames. one

of the largest wildfires in the states history district, locals have been describing the loss. maybe it's too late to help this community. maybe we can help another community just a little easier than what we've had here. everything that alan is now ashes or twisted metal. it's just all it is, but it has to be ok because what's the alternative? i mean, sure, i got a cry. sure, i'm sure. i mean, i'm heartbroken, but you know, that's not going to, that's not going to rebuild greenville. people will get scattered, misplaced, and it will be a long time. and coming back and, you know, ends up being essentially starts to become an archaeology site. while in greece, drone video shows the extent of destruction from ferocious wildfire. the ripped across the island of alia, swayne is obscured trees and burned out homes, infrastructure, including roads and electricity networks. we're also head and across the say on the islands of sicily and italy, a temperature of 48.8 degrees celsius,

was recorded on wednesday. if that's verified, it will be europe's highest. ever. in contrast, the chinese province of hu bye has been hit by severe flooding. with 21 people reported killed and 4 missing 5 cities have declared red alerts as thousands of people are evacuated towards search through city streets, flooding, shops, and sweeping vehicles away. the damage so far as estimated have more than $16000000.00 on some of the worst flooding in northern turkeys. history has killed dozens and left hundreds of villages without power to rental rain, as also triggered to be a mudslide. more than a 1000 people have been evacuated to safety as rescue operations into new and explosions ripped through a public bus in the western russian city of veronica, killing, 2 women. and then during 17 other people, i just have warning that the report coming up starts with st camera video with the

actual blast and also does contain some distressing images. a 2nd before the incidence. and then dave re flying out from all sides than a fire at the time it's believe the bus had around $35.00 passengers on board. and as the blast had many of those who were still able to both sled for the disturbing images of the explosion show an injured person lying on the ground among the daybreak and rushes investigative committee is open to criminal probe and looking into a number of possible explanations with no versions, particularly single doubt so far. what i witness has been describing what he sold the vehicle. so i was driving towards the southwest market place and drove by the bus suddenly happened, my cough was shaken. i looked in the rearview mirror and saw that my vehicle had been passed by an explosion. i stopped. the buses, roof is blown away. people start arriving, emergency services please 5 and someone was taken away with a legs blown off of us had severe abrasions. the explosion was very loud,

so loud i was deaf and for some time and the blood pressure was so high that my call was pushed to the other side of the road. while we're here in verona right now where the explosion took place on thursday evening, as you can see behind me, whatever was left of the blast has already been cleaned up. traffic is already moving normally on the street. again. you can also see behind me a bench where there are some flowers, this is the bus station right next to where the explosion take took place. people put flowers there overnight and memory of those who died in this tragic event. now, as for what caused this explosion, the investigative committee is looking at several different theories. so the main version of looking at is that either the diesel bus was filled with the wrong fuel or a gas cylinder had exploded on board. there were other people that were saying that the driver for potentially was being negligent and that it was his fault. while the police have said that, an earlier theory that it was a terrorist attack has now been deemed unlikely. projectiles such as pieces of wire

on nails, things usually used and explosive devices were not found. those injured but mostly hand by fragments of flying glass. however, the chance that it could be an explosive device can still not be ruled out. right before the bus exploded. it was fully filled all with a total of $35.00 people on board and according to the regions governor $717.00 people were injured. and another 2 people were killed. one of which was a woman who brutally had her legs blown off in the explosion. it was certainly a tragic thing to see. as the driver explained, after the fact was diane and we were still, people were getting on the bus, the traffic light to read people go on from the cross walk. i started driving off then the last happened, broken glass smoke. i couldn't understand what happened. people helped to evacuate, so that there are people who are seriously injured. shortly after this tragedy took place, the regions governor called for a full inspection of the entire regions public transport vehicle. now that

inspection has since concluded, and it came up with no new problems connected to any of the read the transport vehicles. but again, like i said, this investigation is continuing, its continuing to try to find out what exactly caused this explosion. and we'll bring our viewers. the latest details as they become available without coming up in american study exposes a severe drop in the efficacy of cobra. the vaccines from 5 to room are against the dentist. right. i'm going to take a closer look at that after the break. the the

ah, me rather than dreamer shape. those in me thing. we dare to ask me. ah, hello again,

worrying dropping efficacy for the 5 were medina, cody, the vaccines has been highlighted by a new american study showing they did significantly against the problematic delta straight after 6 months. our tc liberty has more than the possible ramifications you're about to see the face and hear the thoughts of a leader confident. he's almost beaten coven and his country. thank george, roared vaccine effort. we gain the upper hand against his virus. we can live our lives. our kids can go back to school, our economy is rory back. it must be really painful to peddle back from that which mr. biden hasn't done for now. a month after the speech, though, a senior member of his administration couldn't help admitting the nation was facing a real wake up call. if that's not a wake up call, i don't know what is,

what is this scary wake up call that can be rail the whole quote unquote, heroic vaccine effort. look, pfizer is the most popular job in america. but research data collected in one state, minnesota shows that pfizer efficacy against kobe, dropped below 50 percent in july. and now stands at 42 percent. the studies not universal, and it's conclusions, haven't gone through a peer review yet. but there's no turning a blind eye on the worrying numbers in it. so what, what wrong key reason could be that the white house, along with the whole health care system is up against the pesky enemy, the numbers, unfortunately moving in the wrong direction. as delta is the predominant variant here in the united states, we are going to begin with the pandemic cases are soaring across our country. driven by the highly contagious delta vary and the as the delta various races

through all 50 states, driving new case numbers upward. it's all reflected in the numbers that have gone from about 12000 new cases at the end of june in the us to more than 155001 august, the 11th. look at the curve. it's nowhere near flattening. nobody wants the worst case scenario when mutations out smart the scientists, but that is a possibility. in the meantime, southern states have begun reporting shortages and intensive care unit beds. the crisis is taking install on health workers, country by country. delta is putting the whole world to the test. now it's apparently america's turn. it's also a crucial exam for vaccine developers. the good news is that johnson and johnson and split big v shots are still highly effective against the delta variance with 905 and 83 percent efficacy. we're actively,

but it looks like covert and it's mutation capabilities. we'll keep bringing new greek alphabet letters into the public consciousness. unfortunately, much more complicated efficacy. math could be on the way british started and physician run g bra says that some countries are cutting themselves off from scientific advances for political reasons. this whole pandemic really held a mirror out well did show us many on the truth about our political system, about health and equality about inequality globally. and of course, about the political motivation which interfere with what would life be strictly scientific and medical consideration. so for example, in, in britain, we have been point forward in making huge a contract with the united states and other countries to buy the vaccine. but we have to just ignore the efficacy, both of the russian vaccine and of course of the chinese vaccines. and it does seem that we're going to suffer as

a result of the funding 5 vaccine tickler was 1st to publish the site 3 results. and at that time showed and 96 percent efficacy was the most effective of all of the vaccines really. and it does seem that efficacy is holding up very well, but we are cutting off those of the little resumes from the scientific advances that are available in the world today. elliptic games wrapped up daily a week ago now. but they're still making headlines with yet another doping scandal, british silver metal. it's this time that's been suspended after testing positive for band substances as alexi irish ascii reports. well, we're talking about something that could become the biggest scandal in british olympic history. in fact this at this time it's a british limbic silver medalist she didn't o job who won silver as part of the team in 4 times 100 meters relay he wanted with great britain and now he has been provisionally suspended for. 3 testing positive,

allegedly testing positive for 2 band substances. and according to the rules, if this is confirmed, then it will be a blanket punishment for the entire silver medal team. this is the part of the rules which states that where the athlete who has committed an anti doping revitalization competed as a member of a relay team. the relating shelby automatically does qualify from the event in question with all resulting consequences for the relay team, including the 4 feature full titled, awards, metals, points and price and appearance money. well, if that is confirmed, of course, this will certainly take some last of a very impressive performance by team g. b at the tokyo olympics with $65.00 overall metals. as for individual punishment, this athletes can face up to 4 years of a total band on any sporting activity that i have to say. overall, the games that you have been clean and have been of course cases of doping. just as

of late the athletics integrity unit also revealed that a runner from bahrain subject me a ga, short photo. betty coming down and the kenny and sprint medic also have been previously suspended for a possible substance abuse. and i've also been cases where the athletes use bad stuff, but riots will be fixed and now these tests have resurfaced. this happened with a brazilian volleyball player and also just lately a russian try of lawn athletes, eager to find out who also tested positive for a substance abuse before the olympics. because conductor, during the olympics, did not show anything. and now all the athletes that i mentioned also have the right a deal. again, those provisional bonds and opened their b sample. courts will be keeping track of all the developments that but again, we could be facing a major candle for the british olympic history. okay, that's all to use for our next another child to delve into the mind of one of the

world's foremost thing because as philosophers sub was yet because you haven't had to had the ah, the ah, ah me. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation,

let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk the british and american governments have often been accused of destroying lives in their own interest. while you see in this, these techniques is to state devising message to end to essentially destroy the personality of an individual. lifetime means this is how one doctors, theories were allegedly used in psychological warfare against the prisoners deemed a danger to the state. that was the foundation for the method of psychological interrogation, psychological torture, disseminated within the us intelligence community, and worldwide among allies for the next 30 years. and how the victim say they still

live with the consequences today the, i think is part of mental health revolution. we increasingly freeze political claims inside the language of mental health became more common. so if you disagree with something i said on this program, you know, just say i just agree with you. i think you're wrong because of the following problems in your evidence or logic. you say your micro grass mate, you say you triggered me. you said your hard me again some psychological way because news or psychological terms. and i definite normal problems or politics because it's almost impossible to have a discourse on that terrain. the, the,

the them to so because vision or it may not said the corona crisis has highlighted the need to rethink the way our society is function to reflect on days i'm joined by one of the world's most influential thinkers. legendary philosopher, flowers music, legendary philosopher, author of condemning, colleague 19 shapes, the world i've been wanting to talk to for the longest time. welcome to our program . i will be here and i know it will be many if you want to match this up. so let's start from this i remember during last year's famous debate with jordan patterson,

you said that humanity will continue to slide toward some kind of apocalypse until some major catastrophe awakens us in this print demik be categorized as structured or fee know the from day me but the day me, it was a need to get that we already got after that i believe we need is mouth connect, and we are not sure why don't you wish me. you remember, i don't know or used to speak on the scene that we trust cost everybody most the main cause global warming because my ferocity managing and so on. so we have another.
