our correspondent in istanbul, esra yalcinalp, gave me this update. turkey has seen, to the largest extent in its history. firefighters are trying to put out the flames, both on land, and also in air, through helicopters and planes that were given by russia, ukraine and azerbaijan. so far, more than 100 fires have been going on in 32 cities. however, five or six of them are still going on in bodrum and it is affecting the tourists, the tourism industry in a very bad way. hotels have been evacuated, people have left their summerhouses, whole villages have completely burnt down. for example, i have talked to a couple last night, and i have been in contact since. they have evacuated their summerhouse and were waiting on shore, waiting for the officials to give them, to provide them with boats, so that they can evacuate the shore, because the fire kept coming towards them. so, they get on the boat... and were spending the night in another place. many of the stories coming from the region, the fire is still strong. the wind and weather conditions are not h

from istanbul, it's great to have you with us. again. it's quite significant. does it know that we'll have dual county, but that is heading back to afghanistan. does this give any indications you think of who's going to be making up the governments? what kind of government we're going to see specially, know that the top people are basing themselves in the capital of the country they have just seized. so that's to be clear that he's not the top person in the top of a movement below brother. he's been the head of the political office in doha, but they have a system of leadership. the leadership council is at the head and my brother had generally been acting as a political office. you can compare him to kind of a minister of foreign affairs in a sense. but the head of the military committee and the leadership committee are 2 different people into the what kind of garmin you can expect. now, given the development to be there so far, i had hoped and the hope had been that there will be an interim government that is neutral, that hope was lost in any escape cobble an
