the ah, i forgot he's done. he's spinning out of control. stunned by the taliban. rapid advance towards cobble big you know, just the militant group to hope the violence in afghanistan. meanwhile, the president refuses to step down going against the key taliban condition for a peace deal. while i've got nationals who risk the lives assisting for a military is now fee of violent retaliation from the resurgent taliban. we speak to a former translator who are his identity to be concealed for his and his families safety . first, we believe that the telephone, 100 down, every, are going interpreter, was served to partition american forces. it will be the african interpreters will create the ultimate course. a state of emergency over unprecedented wildfires has been expanded to cover 2 vast regions in eastern russia. now,

more than 7000000 hectares of siberian forest are effected on the news crew reports from the front line. the small fire, the guys are trying to put up with their own hands. so my little piece like this burned down dozens of mile forest. ah . why that lives on worldwide. this is in to national for moscow. it's just 14 in the afternoon this saturday, the 14th of august and quite weekends. the refinement of coverage this out focusing on developments in afghanistan and his 1st appearance on national television. since the recent taliban resurgence president trump county has refused to resign, something that was part of a proposed piece deal with the militant group. he also called the re mobilize ation of armed forces. a top priority comes as the taliban begun in, circling the afghan capital cobble. despite the violent building this year,

it took months for the united nations security council to convene an emergency meeting to admit the dire situation on the ground. even a country that has tragically known generations of conflicts. afghanistan is in the throes of yet another k. u optic and desperate chapter. an incredible treasure the for its long suffering people forgotten, he's done his spinning out of control and warning fellows another day of key gains by the taliban, claiming on friday that it had taken the 2nd largest city kandahar. you're looking at exclusive video from the islamist medicine groups that had seized hundreds of weapons and vehicles, as well as large amounts of ammunition in the city. meantime, the us embassy in the capital is urging all americans to leave immediately. diplomats were also reportedly directed to destroy sensitive documents and computers before they left. so this map shows the situation right now. currently the taliban has taken hold of strategically cross crucial locations,

very close to the capital. these limits ramped up their offensive in april, after the us president announced he was pulling out troops. now at the time the militant group held less than a 5th of the country. now it controls reportedly more than 2 thirds of provincial capitals and with the militants that cobbles told this weekend. we hear from people in that city or money and we are afraid of them. the cities are falling by. the capital may also fall after some time. he had also my enemies shut off. we are on the way my, why is there no weapon should work for our security personnel. they are being killed from the wrong one i was in and they have to retrieve or give up to get their run out. like what do they haven't? when i see that we have on the verge of losing everything. really lose hope. i have even taken to ask him some of my friend you have. i haven't gotten them wrong and asking, you know why? because this is the telephone comes it's none of us will know, i know and will be kill them. i feel that the last tell about them i wouldn't my

mother got unless they didn't hold on for doing her for a couple of minutes to d. shielded the child. come to forward seem dark. so very bleak. out look, let's check it live again. cobble journalist, but also while we joined us again, welcome back to the program. the situation is changing with ferocious speed. how is it in the capital right now? well, there is hopelessness. people are wondering what is the strategy? the government has to stop or slow down his rock with tyler bond advances over the last few hours. the provincial compet providence in eastern afghanistan, has fallen. we saw chaotic scenes in the city of us either by the way, the locals were looting k 40 sevens in either ammunition from the police headquarters. the african officials were fling and locals were throwing stones at them saying don't leave. corner is

a province where both the and foreign militants have historical roots starting from the fight against the russians. and the 1980 s to the afghan government having route their boat during the communist regimes and over the last 20 years. so this will be a massive challenge for the africa and local police. these commanders, government officials whose families are living there. they are probably from the same tribe, klein and families. we also saw chaotic scenes of the taliban walking down from valleys blocking. i saw the general about highway in the spillover impact of kuhn are in lot of mine in the east and province. a strategic province, a major hub would be felt. so that that is, i thing a constant question that every african is asking. why are these places falling? why are african governments soldiers not putting of a fight? and i had a chance to listen to prison. nation. one is message. very tired. he look tends.

you said that he wanted to prevent further bloodshed by working for a political settlement, but he fused to elaborate what that would mean. there was talk of resignation. obviously that is not true as of now. so all of this compounded has created a climate of uncertainty among ordinary ones with that in mind. and he says he's not going to quit. he says he's going to protect the people. but what realistically can the president do, given the leaders of fleeing and abandoning the people to their own devices and troops are pretty much doing the same in so many areas without much resistance. what does god have left? i think you are looking at a severe crisis of leadership within the security sector. the fact that the african government did not know that some of his governors and other senior officials in provinces war and negotiations with the taliban about surrenders are in

a safe passage, shows you how big that problem is. but at the moment, soldiers who are fighting against the taliban, they come from very poor communities. they come from northern, i've done mostly and from certain areas and from the east of the country, they also see a big disconnect there. we are fighting, we are suffering while leaders in cobble have better homes. their families are living outside of. one is not connected to the country and we are beginning to see that fisher getting bigger and bigger. that being said, we also know that last night the americans carried yes, tribes outside of carver, literally the gates of cobbled province in region targeting at the taliban. so it will be also a massive dilemma for the americans and the international community. we're here. it is quite possible that cobble could see street the street fighting and parts of the

city, and that would not look very good for the americans. and others is what might have been that those strikes are all to do about making safe passage to get their own people out rather than keep cobble intact to the people in carbon, in any way. reassured by that's or indeed what their own presidents been say. while the american mission in the mission of these western embassy is very clear at 1st about themselves, then it's about those are the ones i work with them who will be resettled or re, patrick. did you know that the bravado and the statements coming over the last few years from these western officials cobble was safe? so that's why we could send back from europe that these few stuff were p stocks that the thought about would not target cities, not district centers. you know, it all proved wrong and there is also a big gap between international community and the african people. just like there's

a big gap between the afghan government and the ordinary people that live enough mistrusted that. and one really feel sorry for the families of those who have been sending their son to fight for the government to know that their sacrifices. what just for this, this is chaotic of mine is san an insecure nevada son that actually did them both in many ways. the 1990 s. when this country at the 7 war and the subsequent rise and fall of the taliban as you, that the psychological impact this must be a man's. now what about those families, those households that are left in cobble? what's the humanitarian situation like for them as things stand right now? we have to remember the fighting started and finest time during the harvest season . farmers come in to the royal honest, i've lost all of that income businessman who had invested from hundreds and thousands of dollars to millions of dollars lost their money that investments

because of the fighting. you know, so there is a worst sick nomic situation. you have the pandemic and then you have bought this humanitarian crises where more than a 1000000 people have been forced to leave their homes. but we have to really also remember millions of 5 lines don't have that choice. they have to be stuck in kandahar city and last guy, and it was with because the highways are infested with roadside bombs. this fighting there has been, strikes, has been artillery. and for many ones, i think the friday, the lies in the fact that this has been happening to generations that they have been used and abused by the number of governments over the for d, as all under the names and slogans of various progress and stuff like that it's so difficult the weeks ahead, they're going to be so tough. but as you say, tragically they've been here before. we really appreciate your reporting and for us,

every few hours it said to pull that, we get a, a full picture of what's happening in cobble for now though. thanks for joining us . meanwhile, the deployment of us troops has arrived and cobbled to help evacuate embassy stuff from the country. $3000.00 more expected to arrive in the coming days. and as the us lead alliance with draws africa, nationals who help foreign troops now see a taliban reprisals. one group who desisted. u. k. forces run it on the streets of cobbler, friday, demanding protection from the british government. perhaps that cause of being heard, 600 british troops have been deployed to safeguard u. k. nationals as they evacuate the capital. as want to support the relocation of former african staff, we spoke to an interpreter who worked for british american forces. he asked to remain anonymous out of fear for his life. my family has received it. in the past, some time my friend, the home was attacked twice. my father has been given warnings and threats many,

many times my. my dad's name was called that has lights will be severely at risk because he offered not one but to offer some this against the italian. recently, one of the interpreter, his father was caught in bacteria a province. he was beaten very badly. and he was asked to ask his son, who is an interpreter, to come and change the cause of the taliban in the past year. and so a number of interpreters have been appealed or targeted by the taliban. recently, one of the interpreter who used to be an interpreter for the american special forces was assassinated by the telephone. of course they will be coming off to them . they'll be coming off to their families and those interpreters. so there will be but sure there will be 2 americans have gone away versus going away. everybody is running away. who are they leaving behind the interpreters who have served

for years and years are status and i've got some tracing risk and benches. however, the, you could government instead of saving deadlines, bringing them here to live in peace and safety with their kids. they are making excuses and new conditions put in place only to reject their case. it's all i'm hearing from my colleagues is that their cases have been rejected, rejected. there was a number of cases which were told that they were good to go. there were even given there was sent an email confirming that when they were ready for their flights, they are told now that they can already take to the u. k. i and my brother, both of us would interpreter for the coalition forces. my brother is still enough kind of the british government is making a false accusations and excuses to withhold. not only my

brothers, but many of the interpreters who genuinely need the british governments help and very high risk. it's frustrating for the people who have served the british forces and currently are a priest. and i think it's a huge is a moral and moral big ation to, to protect those who have worked alongside them enough canister. i strongly believe that the telephone will hunt down every or an interpreter who is so if the british american forces, it will be the african interpreters or who will pay the ultimate price of a headline news then in a state of emergency of wildfires has been expanded to cover 2 vast regions in east and russia, 6 smokes covered parts of the t a for weeks, and it's now spread to the neighboring. a could screech and the fires are threatening. it doesn't villages now with several having to be evacuated this week

. and the news team's been following frontline cruise. ah, ah ah, what are the red ones? those are fires. fire covered this area. what's highlighted and green was also a fire. what's red is what is actively burning now. how much land does the fire cover for about 150 square kilometers, or 150000 tech tears. and there was a huge but you have already put it up. it was here when we drove the fire 100 kilometers from me.

ah, it just looks like we're running and driving trying to find the fires, but the shift fast and the wind an open escape. sometimes they move one kilometer in each direction. i mean everything burns for us. where is a fire? so then you're told everywhere. that's how you could burn here. it's a total nightmare. i've never seen it as bad as this before, so i looked like a smart. so where is the fire now, everywhere. that obvious, the main part is now behind the village. i'm scientists mistake with everyone is trying to do something to save the forest or it will all burn. it was this year. this is how the forest bird. this is the episode. i can't even breathe here. the small fire to the guys are trying to put up with their own hands. so my little piece like this burned down dozens of miles a forest. me me?

ah me just what we were told the summer would be the same as usual, more arid. that's understandable. because it happens every 5 to 10 years. we've been preparing for this. but what we have now is the tri summer in history. we could not imagine that this is a very serious challenge. mm. mm. mm me . kay, also battling wildfires and turk, in a tragic development there to tell you about

a fire fighting plane has crashed in east and turkey, its russian belt of be $250.00 a craft. and it came down the softer noon. 5 russian service crew and 3 turkey citizens were on board. young florence were aware the fate of the crew is not yet known, and the false goes defense ministry has sent an investigative team to the area. we'll get the ball details when we find out that is our t international on the way next, the scottish government off his new guidance, claiming the children as young as 4 are able to decide that gender identity without parents consent. more on that max ah ah, ah, the news

on the road is driven by a dreamer shaped by those in me who dares think me we dare to ask me ah

ah hello again. according to new guidance, published by the scottish government children as young as for able to change that name and gender at school, claiming that it's possible to come out as transgender at any age. how schools are being recommended to support pupils if they want to transition without the parent's consent. it means that trans children should be able to use whichever laboratory or changing room they so choose to have the kids better understand their gender identity. schools have also been advised to suggest neutral books and uniforms. but activist marion called a thinks that it's a dangerous path to tread. this is inherently flowed through id only use which pushing on the lobbying groups, which helps right this. this document 4 year old has no idea what been gender is

very kind of easily influenced and very easily influenced. ready by adults and what they say around them. so gradually putting kids in boxes, that's an age of 4 years old and just saying, oh well it's a boy and you're like, you're playing with dolls. maybe you're actually trumps. these are very dangerous ideologies that we're actually, we're going in and i'm being progressive naturally betting the question about the scottish government says children are happier and learn more at school when they feel safe, respected, and included whenever they decide to transition. here's how the broadcast room, former british mp george galloway seated the nationalist government here, frustrated by its failure to achieve its primary goal the breakup of britain, the independence of scotland has made a turn to matter, solve sexuality and gender. in a truly remarkable way, i have as it happens, a 4 year old school. and if the teacher wanted to take her to the park,

she would have to have my consent to do so. but under this new set of regulations, if my 4 year old wanted to change our agenda, her name, her personal pronouns, they wouldn't have to even inform me. nevermind. as for my consent, this decree undoubtedly rob's parents of the rights on the european human rights convention. it is absolutely illegal in my view, i'm responsible for my children until they reach the age of majority. morning ministrations against kobe restrictions in france right now with thousands turning out to get in paris for the 5th consecutive week is have a mandatory health policy is now needed to get into restaurants and other public places of the authority expect up 220000 protest. this time around us,

around 3000 and more than last week. let's go live to the french capital. now, corresponding policy is that paula. these rallies couldn't via an intensity. how's it pounding out so far? what we sent me, what's the thing a great crowd this weekend? and then we still last weekend as of again comes to the house and at the same time, again, having to take fascination, not happening, to people and anger. what people are shopping right now is we are again still possible also being shouting, spoken like liberty and freedom at the same time being close to that people have been holding up, come pe, be mandatory use of having a help talk to you now have to show when you into a restaurant, bob or even a hospital, they compare this to past

a south africa. i've also seen post just saying shame on the past, and this is a health dictatorship. there we actually demonstration happening at the same time right now across parents. there are also protest happening in other cities across bronze for example, in most say and to live at the same time, the roads around the area where we all we, when an old part of parish will be closed. so there is a relatively strong security presence that they have been no incidence of violence in the mood on the ground doesn't suggest that they will be just as i say, a lot of frustration talking to people. they say they'll keep coming out from the street because i cannot continue. people telling me it's, i'm democratic, they refused to take. we'd like to see these kind of demonstration continuing quickly and that a few we can. okay, so moment seems just excitable rather than agitated. let's have it stays that way. ok for the polish layer in parish. thank you. ok. we're going to keep on top of

that for you and the other developing stories of this saturday. i'll be back here to update you in around 35 minutes to see that by, by the this is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed what will make you feel safer. type relation or community. you going the right way for you being that somewhere which direction? what is truth watches in a world corrupted?

you need to defend the join us in the depths or remain in the shallows ah, in the us. and then you need to talk to the someone who i can tell them and i can offer job when i'm in a position where they need what's going on for me. which mobile don't want you to know about what was working for me, but it was easy. i got to get to the office and going to

be as long as it doesn't work for you need that because that quote this is boom. but so one business show you miss branch a board and i'm rachel robins in washington. coming up. we do have economy is on a winning streak, but how long will laugh? we'll take a look at the latest issues with iris trade post. it was 3 of the world's most influential billionaires have set their sights on greenland. what could the reason possibly be both of us, and then we turn to argent tina, where the south american nation is considering falling salvatore's steps. later on we'll hear from boom, bust christy i about the nations fresh plan to tackle an old problem with a fax today. so let's dive right in

the and we leave the program with sir richard branson selling roughly $300000000.00 in virgin galactic stocks. the eccentric 1000000000 are sold more than 10000000 shares in the company between august 10th and 12th, according to regulatory filing. the move comes is wall street analysts have downgraded the space stock due to a lack of upcoming flight as they focus on maintenance. the parent company issued a statement on the matter saying, branson quote intends to use the net proceeds from the sale to support its portfolio of global leisure holiday and travel businesses which are still dealing with issues due to the pandemic. adding the virgin group continues to be the largest single shareholder in virgin galactic. virgin galactic stock is down more than 50 percent since reaching all time highs in february of this year. and the

united kingdom emerged from cobit lockdown. the economy grew by 4.8 percent for the 2nd quarter of 2021, just shy projections from the bank of england. the growth follows a 1st quarter contraction of 1.6 percent. the british economy was propped up by retail restaurants and hotels education also field. the recovery, as schools reopen in the 2nd quarter, the nation's economy is still 4.4 percent below pre pandemic levels in february of 2020. so what does this latest data mean for the world's 6 largest economy as it still deals with the follow up from breakfast? well, to discuss, we welcome our friend hillary forward board member with the british american business association and president of st. mark l. l fi. now, what is the take away from the growth that we're seeing in great britain in the 2nd quarter, and how do they get back to pre panoramic levels? is that going to happen this year?

we'll pleasure to be back review brent and rachel. well, yes, i would say that the sun is never going to set on the british economy. it does not seem good. britain was actually the hardest hit of the g 7 from the pandemic. and i think many people are tribute to napoleon, but it was actually a french, illusionary, who quoted it as being a nation of shopkeepers. they said it rather derisively, but it was actually taken with great pride by the british, why it is a nation of shopkeepers and the british are very social people. why was the u. k hit so hard and why is it bounce back so strongly? it is because the british have now gone out a lot of those statistics in the 2nd quarter. of course we're boyd by the success of the british, the english soccer team doing so well in the euros. the celebration that every piece of power across the u. k. was making pieces in the shape of footballs, thought apart from that bushy, soon that the chancellor of the exchequer has said, he's not going to be complacent. i don't think anyone should be complacent about this. but it is.
