[000:00:00;00] the who's advancing by the hour, the taliban makes rapid territorial gains and i've got to stand now reportedly only 50 kilometers from the capitol, sparking a massive accusation. while the use open door policy seems to be slamming shut with the block, split over african refugees, several states in 5th of everite. possibly the bolt rejected, aside in the powerful bluff test through a passenger bus in the town of veronica and western russia, leaving 2 dead and 17 injured cause isn't yet known. an eye witness says the explosion hits the vehicle extremely hard. the explosion was very loud. so loud i

was definite for some time and the blood pressure was so high that my car was almost pushed to the other side of the road. ah, i've been happy with us. this is the international for moscow. my name's colleague bryan, a little developments to get you up to speed on this. out to afghanistan sent us back. government is quickly losing control following withdrawal and pentagon troops . as the taliban makes sweeping gains with medicines, now reported to be just 50 kilometers from the capitol. cobble the infamous groups already seized. the 2nd and 3rd largest cities, kandahar inherit. in recent days, i'm verified videos circulating on social media, purportedly showing afghan security forces play and canada to half an hour before the taliban said that the de stablished control the u. s. embassy and cobble is urging all americans to leave the country immediately. going as far as too often loans to those unable to afford plane tickets home to use any available commercial

carriers. is a situation right now, the militants controlled around 2 thirds of afghanistan is seen here in red. that leaves government forces, which you can see in green with very much diminish territory. the rest, it's on a knife edge, but it's contested. as things stand this, our county though the submits of taking control of several strategically crucial locations, very near to the capital around 50 kilometers. as i said, the tell about any ramped up it's offensive in april after the us president announced that he was pulling out troops. now at that time, the group held less than a 5th of the country. now though, in this week it's well over half of the taliban and taking hold of multiple provinces in a single day. us troops back at work and i'm going to stop it with a slightly different mission of getting 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 august 31st because there's this additional mission set of, of helping process special immigrants. so we're just gonna 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 and i know what you're saying. lucas? well, the british forces were part of the contention. there also withdrawing the british defense secretary's already gravely warning that i've got to stand on the brink of collapse, calling the u. s. decision a mistake. but wallace says tell about medicines clearly have momentum across the country. and the afghanistan is heading towards civil war predicting too that the battle scarred nation will again become a breeding ground for al qaeda. reporting next, from outside, the british defense ministry peers shouted edwards dashti for options on the table that is the latest from the u. k. is defense secretary friend wallace,

as he tries to prevent an all out civil war enough can. nissan is the u. k. begins to retreat troops out of the country. now ever since the us taliban peace deal, what we've seen is nature that we have all begun to retrieve what flashes this power political vacuum in the region, seeing the tale around totally taking control and tipping that balance of power. now not only will a poverty of course increase on political destabilization, but what's a key worry is terrorism could also still be on the rise and that's why you case defense. secretary is now saying that pulling out of the region is a huge mistake. now we were in this position where we talked about how clearly to manage across the country. united states are leaving that with an honest 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 off and our interest. we were very clear about that, that fly, that the west has to learn that you don't fix problems, you manage problems. prob wallace has also said that the united kingdom may act if asked on a stone, again began to hobb a terrorism, particularly if it posed an international threat like it did arguably some 18 years ago. but many on to activists argue that the foreign policy has never been about a humanitarian mission, nor was it about democracy and only ever saw the land become the place of conflicts and battle ground giving rise to the taliban. and what we see now is the tale about all accelerating the dominant. many areas are now falling to the tale bottom 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 kabul and according to the united nations,

the afghan war has now entered his more deadly 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. 's, some of which have even served in the connie occupation over the last 20 years. that incredibly angry. and all of that pulling out is a complete mistake and 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 seat 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 pretty desperate time for the united kingdom is actually sending in around $600.00 troops to try and get british nationals out. see

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 years ending up like this is incredibly humiliating. because they tried to rebuild that unsafe allies the region and now it seems as though with the telephone takeover the country could be worse off than as well. as the conflict sharpens the un warms that many $400000.00 civilians have already read the homes this year. with a particular spike since may many a heading to cobble to flee the taliban, but they are living in extremely precarious conditions. here are just some of the heart wrenching stories from refugees. i have been displaced from telecom, the telephone killed my son. they took all the belongings from my house and set fire to them, and 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 we are displaced by displaced afghans who seek asylum may not be welcome in the year either with the block currently at loggerheads over what to do with refugees and those free environments. next artes paula slid delves into what happened to brussels open door policy. european union is let's have what to do with african refugees speaking, assigned them in the letter to the european commission. civil countries insisted they have the right to forcibly 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 edge of need to perform returns both voluntary and non voluntary to ghana. 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. bobby, all, when it comes to the us and nato prepaid to what's called a troops at the end of the month. after decades long war, the situation is so bad that the netherlands, germany, and france have decided to port 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 firm. 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 there. the 2nd largest group off the 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 are not my. there's a few use and asylum seeker. and that is why it is very important to remember at all best in countries have signed humor 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 wonder if you just go home or we do for them. i think this is a violation of humor, right. and we should do that kind of thing. more news from around the world to greenville in california. the 1st where the so called dixie fire has destroyed more than a 1000 homes interrupting in mid july. most of the time we've been to the ground more than a dozen other mountain and rural communities have also been lost to the flames. one of the largest wildfires in the state history destroy locals have been describing that loss. maybe it's too late to help this community. maybe we can help another community. jeff drew a little easier from 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 and misplaced, and it will be a long time. and coming back and, you know, ends up being essentially it starts to become an archaeology site. like grace drone video shows the extent of destruction from ferocious ferocious wildfires there that read across the island of easier swathes of score of trees and burned out homes. infrastructure, including roads and electricity networks were also hit across the sea on the italian island of sicily and 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 hoop i, it's been hit by severe flooding. 21. people reported killed and missing 5 cities, declared red alert says thousands of people are evacuated, torrent search through city streets, flooding, shops, and sweeping vehicles away. the damage so far estimated more than $60000000.00

and some of the worst flooding in northern turkeys history has killed dozens and left hundreds of villages without power. parental rights also triggered to be a mudslide. more than a 1000 people have been evacuated to safety. her rescue operations continually the explosion has ripped through a public bus in the western rushing city, a foot on a claim to women and men drink 20 other people. just a warning, the triple coming up does start with st. camera video of the actual blast. and it does contain some distressing images, a split 2nd before the incident, 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 block had many of those who were still able to move fled. so the disturbing images of the explosion showed an injured person lying on the ground among the day very much. it's investigative committees opened a criminal probe, and it's looking into a number of possible explanations. but no versions have been singled out as yet.

what i witness has been describing what he saw i was driving towards the southwest marketplace and drove by the bus suddenly happened, my car 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, others had severe abrasions. the explosion was very loud. so loud i was deaf and for some time. and the plus pressure was so high that my car was almost pushed to the other side of the road while we're here in verona right now, where the lotion 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 theory. so the main version it's looking at is that either the diesel boss was filled with the wrong fuel or a gas cylinder had exploded on board. there were other people that were saying that the driver per 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 one on nails, things usually used. an explosive devices were not found. those injured were 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. 2 people were killed, one of which was a woman who brutally had her legs blown off, and the explosion was certainly a tragic thing to see. as the driver explained,

after the fact miss diane and the phone, we were still, people were getting on the bus. the traffic light turned red. people got them 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 were people who were 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 came up with no new problems connected to any of the regions the transport vehicle. but again, like i said, this investigation is continuing, its continuing to try to find out what exactly this explosion. and we'll bring our viewers the latest details as they become available. so plenty of this, our american study exposes a severe drop in the efficacy of cobra. the vaccines from pfizer and mcdonough against the delta strike will take a closer look after the break. ah

. driven by shaped by those in me. i think we dare to ask in the problem of the dead sailing is that it forces them to admit what that number is like and 3 or 2, which are the money supply numbers. once the numbers got so scary, they stopped reporting them. similarly with the debt ceiling kabuki theater,

that happens every couple of years. they're just going to get rid of it. no one even announced that number, it'll be impossible to find what the american is. and i'll just say a number sign for infinity. ah, boring drop in the advocacy for the pfizer or the magenta. cobit vaccines has been highlighted by a new american study showing that they did significantly against that problematic delta straight after 6 months. i'll teach elliot to try and get has more of 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. thanks to our roaring fac, 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. 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. 6 not universal and its 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? a 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 its butane 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 surgeon and physician run g bra says some countries cutting themselves off from scientific advances for political reasons. that this whole pandemic really held a mirror out to the world. it should have many on the truth about our political system, about health and equality, about equality 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 quite fluid in making huge a contract with the 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 funding 5 vaccine tickler was 1st to publish it say 3 results and at that time showed and 96 percent efficacy was the most effective of all the vaccines really and it does seem that the efficacy is holding up very well, but we are cutting off the elliptical reason from the scientific advances that are available in the world today. the limpid games wrapped up nearly a week ago, but they're still making headlines with yet another doping scandal. this time, a british silver med list has been suspended after testing positive for band substances. there's alexi chef ski report though we're talking about something that

could become the biggest scandal in british olympic history. in fact, this, at this time it's british lympics silver medalists to 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 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 when the fleet, who's committed an antidote to rule violation, competed as a member of a really team, the relate team shall be automatically disqualified from the events in question. with all results and consequences for the relay team, including the forfeiture of all titles, awards, middle points and prize and appearance money. while if that is confirmed, of course, this will certainly take some loss of

a very impressive performance by team g. b at the tokyo olympics with 65 overall metals, as for individual punishment, this athletes can face up to 4 years of a social band on any sporting activity that i have to say. overall, the games and you have been clean and have been of course cases of doping just as of late. the athletics integrity unit also revealed that a run from bahrain studied me a ga, short photo betty cup. i'm and the kenny. i'm sprint medic, deamber also i've been provisioning suspended for possible substance abuse. and i've also been cases where athletes used banned substances, but riots of the lympics. and now these steps have resurfaced. this happened with a brazilian volleyball player and also just lately a russian try of lawn athletes, eager to buy down ski who also tested positive for a substance abuse before the olympics. the test conducted during the olympics did

not show anything. and now all the athletes that i've mentioned also have the right to appeal against those provisional bands and open there be sample of course will be keeping shock a whole the developing sad. but again, we could be facing a major scandal for the british olympic history. problems on its way towards banning the foreign ownership of its media companies, bills just passed the keep harlem entry stage, but it's already drawing anger from other nations and also the united states. this draft legislation threatens media freedom and could undermine poland, strong investment climate. so here's the thing, polish tv and 24 channel is owned by discovery. in an american media giants. this new law that's deprived the us secretary of state of sleep thousands miles away makes this channel illegal in poland because it explicitly prohibits companies from outside the european economic area from holding

a controlling stake in local media companies. but surely big european powers will stand up to the us on behalf of little brother, poland since, well, you know, they're all part of one big happy family. know media pluralism and diversity of opinions are what's trying. democracies welcome not fight against poland is on its own against the multiplied mice of the e u and the u. s. but what helps is that was saw has charted these waters through and through poland and having officially declared certain areas, l g, b, t free did not sit well with its partners at all. europe will never allow parts of our society to be stigmatized. in this fight for rights, poland is clearly in the wrong, in the eyes of its presumed allies. thee my body, my choice slogan,

failed to impress polish legislators as the band abortions in almost all circumstances. people spilled to the streets, high tub by officials in brussels. when making use of the confidences, member states must respect fundamental rights which bind them by the reach of the constitutions and commitments on the international law. it is the truly responsibility of the member states to regulate the issue that miss ability of the legal termination of pregnancy. amid the europe white and even the world's push for painting its energy sources, green, poland made a conscious choice to remain. colorblind also argued that the blocks carbon pricing system is skewed against them. you cannot make the rich richer and the poor poorer . it's a question of fairness. oh, but the block retorted thing. it puts a much low value on pole ends interest compared to the planetary good. the proposed at home, alleged by poland,

resulting from the impossibility of carrying out important projects and investments in the energy field. cannot take precedence over considerations relating to the environment and human health polling in your face legislative independence has very much ruffled the use feathers. the european commission even singled out poland alongside with hungry in its reports on the state of the judiciary, media, freedom and corruption. and the, even the threatened was so with sanctions as if it was some kind of russia should poland fail to act, then we will go back to the court asking for financial sanctions. the e u is one big happy family, but only happy and seems when all its members and sit still with their heads down when they shut up and do exactly like they are told to. the main core of the low is

the fact that the be the shoot will be to get around the ban on known that european firms owning more than 49 percent of polish media companies. so in order to avoid the such kind of influence or interference from abroad in the domestic issue, on the one side, it's challenging. any institutions and all the other side is quit, he ran with their policy, is the all the spending phase sobriety and the domestic domestic policy get more news award winning out the programs on youtube channel and also with don't come, i'm calling bro moscow, but we the next global updates in half an hour. me the

join me every thursday on the alex salmon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me he released video shows las vegas police waiting in the hallway at the mandalay bay hotel. even as steven paddock continues to murder people below the board ever killed and this coward stayed on the 31st floor and not one attempt was made to reach the 32nd floor. vice could have been saved if they were to take an action. absolutely. they had a team of armed individuals that did nothing but a coward while his shots were going on. 58 people died that night and the cow will
