the more than 300 dead for a 7.2 magnitude quake should caribbean nation leaving another 2000 injured the series of off to shocks and rocking the country this morning. the news either very good morning. this is the weekly round of the top stories of the last 7 days. i'm what's happening then as you could see those headlines there. there is a lot happening now to tell you, but this morning i'm kevin now and good morning to you. so in the latest development, the 1st week of ghana stand, a place that we've been closely covering all week the coming days are going to be absolutely crucial there in the volatile history of the country with a tell about taking control of most of it. i've gone, officials say the militant group has captured the key city of july, the bad cutting off the country's capital to the east. it means that cobble is now

the only major city and i've got to stand to resist the militant groups, territorial sweep, so far and confirmed reports say the taliban is just 11 kilometers as it stands at the moment from the capital that's building on, on the rapid games by the taliban for the week on friday they took, i've got to stand 2nd largest city kandahar. miss minutes and group said it see hundreds of weapons and vehicles as well as large amounts of ammunition in the city . meantime, the us embassies that reported they started evacuating vista from the country, 5000 troops of being sent there to help get them out. it promotes are also reported . they directed destroys, sensitive documents and computers before they left. well, here now for you this morning, the latest pictures from the afghan capital kabul where a people are desperately seeking shelter up to fling that from the taliban advance . but how long that's going to last, the course remains to be seen. they know face harsh living conditions at the moment,

an acute shortages of food and water mog, from all of my, came from the northern jo john province. there was ongoing, brutal fighting and we could only save ourselves and fled to cobble my mother myself and some people of the town. car, condos, and bergland provinces came here to the park. we have all fled to fighting. there is no food and no water. the families have very worried because they have no idea what to do with lead from the hero proven is due to have if i chain many other families, also flood and live in and that conditions, dissertation, continuous like this in galveston. they want us to return. they should support us and give us weapons so we can defend our country as we have lost our family members during the case of war. now as african women, we should get weapons and fight that we discuss the latest developers, enough canister with 10 stone from the hamilton coalition to stop the war and also

cobble journalists below. so worry the fact that the americans need almost 5000 us troops just to quit a 1000. so 5 lines in the embassy, it tells you where the sun is after 20 years of massive investment in blood and treasure, not only by the americans, but also by the international community. and every time you hear to these countries tell the citizens to leave us on as soon as possible, especially cobble those type of messages. it is terrorizing ones who are really very fearful of what could happen. we heard. busy a lot of gotten fired from the police here. yeah, it's in p d 12 where the biggest president is and everyone thought that this was a thought on the talk inside the city of cobble. so it did terrorize the local population, especially when i had a coffers flying over the prison. then we will have

a laugh going officially that there was a problem in the counter narcotics wing of the prison. so you can imagine the impact of what is happening around the country. so it's not a success story. and it's also not the time you know, that the americans could blamed africa and needed africa. leaders could blame, you know, the americans. i think everyone has lived down the avalon people, and now we can see even more bloodshed and sufferings if the sci fi does not come any time. so clearly, washington is, did miscalculate and scramble to increase troop levels to compensate for that, the u. s. should never have been, and nato should never have been in afghanistan in the 1st place. this was a unilateral and illegal invasion and occupation that took place without the

approval of the un security council. now today, a, the united states, a staging a withdrawal, a retreat from afghanistan, and they're doing it in a unilateral fashion. again, they didn't use the help that they could have called upon from russia, china, india, iran and pakistan. and those regional and, and asian powers to organize an orderly withdrawal and the creation of a stable government in kabul. that one that might have been a government of national unity or a power sharing arrangement or coalition government. instead, the u. s. deliberately left mass. right. another developing story 20 people have been killed. simpson on entered in a gas tank explosion in the north. 11th morning and may find these images coming up now, disturbing them just coming into us. a number of people still reported missing their red cross, metix transporting burn victims. the local hospitals,

the cause of what happened, still not known from 11 east prominence, is sadder aries, colder than countries president to step down over the incident, drawing a parallel into that massive explosion in bay root a year ago. let's try and get across this lindsey to, to means in pay route this morning. linda, 1st off what, what, what some exploded here. is that a tanker, a laurie or a some sort of static tank. what was it? what happens? yes, it's the gas tanker that was reportedly transporting fuel into the city of probably crossing through according to what i'm hearing today and local reports. it's possible that this truck was smuggling fuel and the neighboring countries, namely theera here. this is according at least to local residents who do report having seen someone firing directly at the gas tanker. now this has often happened knowing that a lot of smuggling have been taking has been taking place,

especially throughout that area on their way to syria. a lot of fuel husband smuggled, i mean, it's such a terrible mass because we don't have fuel the way it is in lebanon. we are plunged in the dark generators are struggling to keep up and now with a lack of fuel and the price hike, because of the subsidies being listed on fuel lebanon is completely in the dark. and as i'm saying here, i'm running on generators. i don't know, at what time it might cut off and you guys who so it was sort of speak. i mean, it's just over a week know since the year on a massive explosion leaving that's an understatement at the port bay road. no cause for the president to step down, should he go and what difference is that going to make? well, the people of lebanon, at least the ones, the revolutionary ones definitely want to overhaul the entire political class. starting from the president downwards. they want an entire reform,

an entirely different government that will be able to run this country the way it should properly be run. because at the moment the government has been so inefficient ever since the beginning of the crisis, all they've been doing was to throw the blame at one another, just trading blame and doing absolutely nothing. the crisis has been spiraling downwards. ever since, and things keep getting worse just when we thought we had really hit a rock button. we wake up to use like this. i mean, i'm really currently out of words at this stage. i don't even know what they are even to friends. what has the government been saying about how they've handled what's happened over the last year? the fall out from that massive explosion. i guess it's too early to comment on this gas on the, on the fuel tanker. explosion this morning. has it been any official comment from the government about it? not yet. absolutely not yet. just like what happened with the, the port explosion they had promised answers upon 5 days after the

explosion and over a year. and we still have no answer as to what happened and what caused that devastating port of explosion that killed over 200 lives here in lebanon, and displaced hundreds of thousands, not to mention injured thousands of others. so for now, we still don't know what exactly is the cause of that attack up in our side, but very likely, according to what residents are saying and witnesses that were on the ground and that saw the shooting. they did say that it was people who attacked that jackson because they were angry because they are already lacking fuel the way it is in their area. so to see that being smuggled and that you know, those 10 being smuggled over to syria and neighboring countries is absolutely outraging. briefly we're posting 20 killed 79 inch is not likely to go up or is that kind of confirm? no, well, so far, these are the numbers, but you know, in these situations the numbers keep rising, logically speaking in and like we mentioned a little earlier, a lot of people have disappeared as well. and there account with,

for so far as i'm sure that eventually i really hope that they're found, but i'd really hope that we also know their faith and what happened and their, their safe and sound as well. linda, thanks for coming on live with us. local here in this little in bay roots and maybe catch up with you later. but previous again, yes, you will check for next to something else is coming to tell you about this morning . a lot of news around to brief you on a series of after sharks rocking the caribbean nation of haiti, i was off for a deadly quake left more than $300.00 dead forcing the government to declare a state of emergency across almost half the country. a warning fear next, i'm sorry to say may find the following image is disturbing. the will the quake which is also felt in neighboring countries, brought buildings and left rubble strewn throughout the streets. almost 2000 people were injured comes his. haiti continues to face political instability, months after the assassination of president jovan movies. a tropical storm is also

expected in the coming days to in so. so injury striking just 150 kilometers from the capital and the quake was even more powerful than the one back in 2010, which killed around 300000, devastated the nation and spoke to humanitarian crisis. an expert we heard from says, an effective warning system is difficult in places like 80 in quick have similar characteristics to a devastating trauma that occurred 11 years ago. fortunately, the time it didn't happen near the capital most populated, 50 port prince as it did in 2010. however, we still see its effect and his use of damage to infrastructure for an early warning system to work. and unit detecting from us should be near the, at the center of the population should live farther away, giving them valuable seconds to react. but in places like haiti and california quakes occur in well populated places, that isn't an effective warning system which would give people time to prepare

analog news from here in the week to wasn't wildfires continuing to grip rushes far east. more than 160 arranging in the republic of your coat here at the moment, then smoke from the fires as grunted able and 5 fighting teams across the region. acute is being blanketed in choking smoke. no for weeks and spreads the neighboring air could screech in the state of emergency was expanded on saturday to cover the 2 vast regions of east in russia. the 1st thing it doesn't village is there now with several having to be evacuated. this week. i'm out of the scene that dimitry poke, just arrived at the camp sky where we're supposed to be saying, but apparently we might actually have to evacuate right now because the fire is already near the camp. as you can see behind me, it's spreading really fast, like that trees are caught on fire and like less than a minute and still really dry. there's still been no rain. and the, the reason for a while for over a month,

me the listing, if you really need people here now, the fires cover a very large area, it's hard to keep the track. it's almost impossible. i don't know how we can manage that for water with a hand pump, but this by being very primitive is one of the most effective things they have me so basically we go round around, around the fire. soon as we see some flame hit them, so ahead and with some water. but some of these are actually routes on fire. and in order to fully extinguish them,

you would need to go up because they're not burning on the surface. they're burning under ground. me just finish battling one fire and then literally like 2 minutes later there was another one just 20 meters to the left. and there is just not enough people right now in this camp to be dealing with all this effectively. thankfully this is a bottom fire. so they call it as basically when the ground is burning, as opposed to a top fire, where the top of the trees is burning, which is the most dangerous thing there is. because if we pick that up, it's pretty much unsolvable me wondering what the roads all these places look like, something like that. the so

we just arrived at one of the locations where the firefighters have now created this mineralized zone. this and basically the whole purpose of this is that the fire, if you could 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 as you can see, the ground hears all ash, all of this is bash. ah, there were fallen. tis an employees from the ministry emergency situation. so everyone his head plow, plough, manage, extinguish, saw ah,

so we've traveled back to the village that is currently being threatened by the wildfires. there is one coming from one side and the other. it's chaos right now. we tried to go to the fires, but this place is very big. and so we just didn't have enough time to reach it. it's way too far away and it's through very dense wilderness. the only thing that can get through there are things like this, but they're all packed with firefighters. 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 chaotic all of this can be. i have information about hearty scatter. the problem there is vos, not still to come concerns going of a cases of trans identified men being placed in female jails because of series of

special reports on it. after the break, the join me every thursday on the alex simon show. when i was speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business, i'm show business. i'll see you then me the i think is part of mental health revolution. we increasingly freeze political claims. the language of mental health became more common. so if you disagree or 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 adventure logic. you say your micro grass mate,

you say you triggered me. you said you hard me again, some psychological way, just news or psychological terms. and i guess an enormous problems or politics because it's almost impossible to have a discourse on that terrain. the ah, i got this management for the brighter than so not his own special project. in the susie reports we're looking at the issue of transgender convicts abusing female prisoners in countries around the world. says kit taylor's been investigating a rising number of such cases. what should be done by women's rights activists? a horror show. oh, in fans over where to house sex change prisoners are particularly high in california with our being

numerous complaint from inmates there being a number of recent cases that might explain that worries me ah ah, they're getting a full erection who locked in this room? 247 with the man. and there is nothing you can do about it. the nobody cares about us. we are in danger here. there were never love mails with full mail and that to me, sharon shall worse with us in a group shower room yet now men can share our showers. me.

she's a proven sexual. tried to haven't committed multiple crimes against women yet. the state of washington had no problem moving him into women's facility. ah ah, yeah, i had the chance to speak to penny nancy, who is the ceo and president of the concerned women for america activist group. now she's worried to some male inmates might change that gender identity, sympathy, so as to take advantage of incarcerated women. when someone simply identifies as a woman in that predators are willing to say anything to get access to women and to hurt them further. i recently read a statistic that said in the united states, about 80 percent of women who incarcerated, say that at some point in their life they've already been sexually assaulted. these are women who are already very troubles. there's no excuse in which

a person who is biological male or biologically female, should be victimized in prison. if the prison system would take the issue of safety more seriously than that, then that concern would be match. i, again, there's no use for allowing someone to be victimized in prison. there must be common sense met and used in dealing with people who are. they're locked away. they cannot leave and we must take measures to keep them say, cases of alleged abuse of women by tons. the people in jail have left some incense in light of a controversial bill passed in california at the start of the year. the law that's trans and made a request to transfer to facilities, but align with that gender identity effectively allowing male prisoners to move to female jails since the laws passed around 300 such request have already been

submitted. and as of june this year, non have been rejected by your forty's. california is the latest you state to adopt such legislation. similar in may, housing policies also exist in connecticut, new york city, massachusetts, and new jersey and women's rights groups are alarmed that other parts of the country might follow suit. the definition of transgender is dangerously inclusive and california department of corrections and rehabilitation. these are basically heterosexual man, ruining the superintendency for the trans community to be safe. and now they have a big pool of potential victims. males cannot self declaring themselves out of maleness, the yes, shouldn't fall, kelly for you here into this horror. can you think that there is a concern with ec stories like the ones that are merging, that they can do pretty irreparable damage to an entire transgender community, doing ripley, the damage not only to the transgender community, to, to people who have, have been going through their transgender, their,

their changes, your di, legitimize the moment, you're actually going to start to demonize them by using them as a cross, using them as a commit violence against women a very long time. women obviously felt on hud. they felt forgotten about they felt use they felt vulnerable, then they became empowered. and now suddenly it feels like a trend is going in the opposite direction. is that how it looks to you? there has been a drive to be the most possible inclusive in california, specifically. and here's where we're running into issues. we're not protecting women, we're not protecting those who were born women. and we have to understand that there is a distinction between those who identify as women and those who are genetically women. katie such a complicated issue. so what's the solution here? is that single sex prisons because, you know, when you read a lot, a lot of trans inmate say i don't feel safe anywhere. so how do we make sure that everyone does feel safe?

yes, we have male prison. we have the no person. that's how it's been because we know that that works better, but maybe having other facilities or individuals that i identify it's trans, making sure there is better security for some of these people. i don't know, maybe even looking into their medical records, not just taking somebody from california. i'm going to said basically you can get a piece of paper and check a box and then be has the bunch of women that you can much that's not okay. i'll t as keeping close tabs on developments in the spare, and you can be sure that will be returning to this topic in future broadcasts. me . avoid this in the week is one of the most infamous symbols of the vietnam war, agent orange, the extremely toxic herbicide and defiant, used by the us military and the campaign. but then the chemical cause, the suffering of hundreds and thousands of people in the lasting effects and passed out across generations and warning. you may find the next images coming up

upsetting ah, in me that was born in 1975. and i was missing both my arms at the elbow down and my left leg from the knee down. the hospital that i was born in. ringback never seen anything like that before. so they weren't sure if i was gonna live or die. and it's made my life pretty difficult growing up because i had to just to everything. ah . they were just following orders. they weren't arguing that they weren't gonna spread. they were commanded by the officials to spread,

so they had to do what they were told to do. i several major court cases against every single one day when i'm not sure why they will take responsibility. but as it is right now, over 8000000 people have died from the effects of aging. and there's countless numbers of people, more number, disfigured and deformed and they have cancer, tumors. you can't even really name them all because of just so many. ah, the me, my mom live in the veteran. my disability would be a 100 percent covered by the v a. and it would take full responsibility for about since it was my dad. they said that there is no way that he kind of affected the veterans. kids and the veterans themselves have serious health issues. and

medication is like our originally expensive me, like i know several of my friends that are children to be in veterans and with the illnesses that they have been literally spend thousands and thousands of dollars a month out of their own pocket because the us government will even supply the medication they need for the illnesses and they've got the exposure talk inheritance, isn't that? well, some news, just a know before i believe you this morning, this just coming in. we'll do centrally 13, we're hearing a been killed including 6 children, 7 women in an explosion in karachi and southern pakistan. reports hungry aid was thrown at the pickup truck there were traveling at the time. the motive is still unclear at the moment the local counter terrorism department is suspecting a terror attack still to be confirmed, would be across that as well. if you're watching for last, you know, there's been lot used to brief you on this morning, but for now that was the way clear enough international with me, kevin. and i'm,

but with more in just have a half an hour. but for me and the rest of the team, meantime, we do hope you have a good rest of this sunday. the now we have eaten reds. i just heard that it was a healthy alternative to figure out how do we trust tobacco companies with their message that these new products are actually going to reduce? are these, these are making the tobacco tours ah ah ah ah ah,

i will. i will the other stuff and having to talk the you know, i can better understand your time when i just find them. well, i don't even know if i made one on one of those on if you could provide me with any questions on.
