ok for now, jonathan steel. thanks very much for joining us. ok. next the modern, popular, and their eco friendly. we're talking about those electric scooters that seem to be popping up more and more and getting them faster. in theory, they are a great way to get around the city. but it perhaps goes without saying that in the wrong hands or face to the big enough paul toll that they might not be that safe either for the rider or anyone in their way, more or more accidents are being reported. so we took a test drive through 2 very busy cities. fos, convenient and environmentally friendly, e scooters of massively growing in popularity here in the u. k. over the last few years, the relatively cheap to run and use electricity so perfectly in vogue with the current focus on renewable energy. although russia is a relatively low lead boomer and the market of shareable electric scooter, this service has spread rapidly across the country with a number of users doubling. since the beginning of the pandemic, as more people are being encouraged to use and the

security force or that despite no evidence being presented so far international as commentator jonathan steele told me that it's too early to jump to conclusions. i just like the front line between iran and the states supported by the rest, very suspicious around him is what scared to tom was wrong. and so, because of often been years to start this season and stopping, searching for some kind of attack, i mean, john, is that just hydrogen thing? we need to know who these people really need to get some information perhaps from the crew of the ship. and so today they must be in contact with the hijackers and the crew, the captain of the ship, where they had to be speaking, fussy, when speaking arabic, language was speaking to each other. we need to know little facts until we get more information about how the western government, sort of it cheers to iran, got the evidence and what the evidence is. it's hard to know how strong it really is. a fate of wildfires has left behind a trail of devastation and touchy with fast swathes of forests and turned ashes. thousands of people have been evacuated t

that's ongoing breaking news here at our national jonathan steel international. if has complicated joining us here on the program this evening. good to see you tonight. thanks for coming on with us. the international airport i was thought to be relatively safe, guarded both by foreign troops and by the taliban. you think today's string of attacks that mean that basically nowhere is safe in cub. all right, now, in fact, you know, safe. i mean, you've got crowds of people massing of the gates and the airport. it's very easy for somebody to infiltrate with the suicide, vest, or bombing some kind. so there is almost inevitable that something just happened. these warnings of the u. s. gave last night saying they had very specific warnings that could be tac may happen, suggest the probably somebody who's either aspire within the ice correson entourage well and gave to the americans tracking kind of friends had actually heard something about a minute. what's about so we've had to confirm blast that around the airport area. we've just spoke with autism or gas via of our
