how then will the un security council play a part? the un security council play a part? ued any statement was on the 3rd of august which condemned this growing violence in the country. since then it's been completely overtaken by events. but i think the permanent members of the security council, the so—called p5 of russia, china, the united states, france and the uk are meeting later today as you mentioned. and they do have at least a degree of overlapping interests in afghanistan. and that is on the counterterrorism agenda. because all of those countries which normally have very different objectives and look at afghanistan and a very different way, none of them want afghanistan to be a crucible for terrorism externally. all have reasons to fair if the taliban allawi says, al-qaeda and other extremist groups to operate in afghanistan. back is a basis for a degree of understanding between the five countries. to degree of understanding between the five countries.— five countries. to what extent is money or _ five countries. to what extent is money or finance, _ five countri

we've been watching live as the un security council meeting to consider passing a draft resolution on safeguarding afghan civilians and guaranteeing access for humanitarian aid. will they have voted to adopt that draft resolution? it's called 2593 with 13 votes for non against and to up sanctions from china and russia. and there were lots opponents afterwards about holding the taliban accountable. well, let's bring in christian salumi now to give us her up some of what we've just heard . it was interesting listening and kristen into the language that was being used there by the different countries about how the international community is watching . we have to get this right, and this is really about making sure that safe passage for all humanitarian activities becomes almost a guarantee. that's right. it's about safe passage for foreign nationals, for afghans who want to leave the country as well. for humanitarians who want to help increasingly, a need civilians. and it's also a condemnation of terrorism and reiteration of the respect for rights, particularly women girls and minoritie

the un security council has adopted a resolution to let them go safely. but it's not known if the taliban will comply. more than a 110000 people have been evacuated in the past 2 weeks, but those left behind include many who worked as u. s. allies. well, we have to correspondence covering this story for us to sign a moment. we'll get reaction from washington dc with gabriel alexander the last 10 to rob mcbride, who is in kabul. president j bought and keeping his word to withdraw from afghanistan on by the 31st of august. but of course it's come at a cost, took us through the events the last few hours. that's right. i mean, it's interesting in a couple of hours from now it will be dawn here and people in cobble people across . i've got this done. we'll start to wake up to what is a new reality that for the 1st time in 20 years? no. us soldiers on african soil. this is obviously being welcomed by the taliban and the taliban supporters. but for many people here in afghanistan, they will be trepidations about what the future holds. the departure of the americ

the ranch, making it the 1st provincial capital to fall to the monster offensive and all the un security council meeting to discuss the escalating situation. and if not, i either can fidel, this is al jazeera, my from doha. also coming up israel father, back with artillery off the hezbollah launch is a branch of rocket southern lebanon. wildfires. burn on the northern edge of athens for things thousands more people to flee from their homes. ah, we'll begin with breaking news in afghanistan. concepts the taliban has captured the southern city of the ranch, the 1st provincial capital for since the group began and offensive to take over territory. video released by the tele bomb shows them on the streets around the city reports just about 20000 people have fled across the border from numerals province into iran. well, i diplomatic editor james bass joins us now live from cobble. james, tell us what more about this, do we know? i mean the 1st provincial capital falling, that sounds fairly significant. very significant. i think yes, it's not the biggest place enough canister on. it's a desert provinc

security council also signed onto it. let me make a point on the prc and other governments. it is not only this un security council statement. we have spoken including in recent days of a number of groupings of countries that have , over the course of months or longer, lent their voices and efforts to supporting the intra-afghan dialogue, supporting a political settlement between the parties. when it comes to the prc, they are a member of the extended troika. the extended troika has recently -- troika, as recently as recent dates, has spoken with one voice about the need for a negotiated political settlement through a process owned and led by the afghan people. a forceful takeover that ignores the basic and fundamental rights of those very afghan people would not be consistent with what we have heard from any number of countries, including the prc. reporter: that is the situation on the ground. let me ask another question. the statement from president bush and laura bush -- a joint statement about the urgent need to take care of refugees, including a much larger population and a much more expansiv

and i mentioned this at the outset, you saw the statement that emanated from the un security council. obviously, the un security council has a permanent set of members, several of whom are among our closest allies in the world. and a couple of countries where our interests are rarely aligned. nevertheless, this document, it is quite strong. it is quite clear. i think it is reflective of the broad consensus that is emerged from the international community about not only our thinking what the united states may or may not do going forward as we assess ultimately what has come to pass. but what the international community will do this statement says that the sustainable into the conflict can only be achieve, gives through an inclusive, just durable and realistic political settlement that uphold human rights. including for women, children and minorities. the security council speaking with one voice, which as you know, it's not always easy feet cold on all parties to adhere to international norms and standards on human rights and to call for an immediate cease to any abuses in that regard.

allies and regional powers, including katara and turkey, while france and the will urge the un security council to create a safe zone in cobble to protect humanitarian operation. they are seeking to involve both russia and china, who are permanent members of the un security council. we have 3 correspondence covering all the latest developments in afghanistan. charlie angela is live in london for us. alan fisher in washington, d. c. but 1st, let's go to charlotte bellis in cobble. so charlotte, what's the latest the we're hearing on those attacks in the airport in the fall out from that. so the rocket attacks have in this morning i still has just claimed responsibility. they say that they shot 6 petition office would be a force. residents told us this morning in the area where they were shot from that there was a car that these rockets were, came from a trunk and the direction of the fort about 4 kilometers to the waste. at the end of the runway. one had a building, another we understand land is inside the open area inside the perimeter. and then the ram and the missile system managed to interce

up to my pick editor james batten's that for us live in campbell will be un envoy to ask on the stone told the security council the international community cannot stand by as the conflict escalades kristin salumi reports from the un headquarters in york thing the country is at a dangerous turning point. the un special representative for afghanistan called on the security council to act and act quickly 1st by demanding an end to taliban attacks against cities to attack urban areas is to knowingly inflict enormous harm and cause massive civilian casualties. nonetheless, the threatening of large urban areas appears to be a strategic decision by the taliban, who have accepted the likely carnage that will ensue. russia said the emphasis should be on restarting stalled political talks between the afghan government and the taliban. achieved mister william lewis showing you how it is clear that there is no military solution to the afghans situation. but in the current situation, given the absence of progress on the negotiation track, the prospects of afghanistan slipping into full scale and protracted civil war. unfor

enemies to our national security, russia and china, china holding the rotating presidency of the un security council. you said the coming war on china. our you noticed the difference here as regards palestine with china, apparently trying to force the issue with a statement from the un security council core received against the wishes of the united states. the whole, the whole campaign against china and the campaign against power, san one and the same thing it is about control is about imperial power at a certain time in their history threatened they feel threatened. they're not actually threatened. they have threatening economic terms in the they may, there they are, economic prosperity is receding. but so in order to correct this, they are playing with the prospect of war. it's a terribly dangerous game. when i made becoming more against china and that was in 2016, i wrote the title almost says, a provocation. if i was doing that, so now i would say it's a reality. in a few short years, china from being in many senses are strategic ally of the west. certainly in the so called war against terrorism

in the un security council has been warned. afghanistan is heading for catastrophe as the taliban steps. so it's offensive. the united nations and boys, as a conflict with government forces, has entered a deadly more destructive phase after the armed group sees the provincial capital of the ranch. it is the 1st 50 to fall to the group since the u. s. began pulling out the last of its forces entrepreneur to get us a james space has moved from couple. this is significance around the 1st provincial capital enough. going to start to fall into taliban control. these pictures released by the taliban ship fighters driving humvees and other vehicles paid for by the us and nato and taken from africa and forces the airport the only one in the desert province, as well as key government offices were captured, were told by eye witnesses with barely a shot being fired. earlier the taliban fighters had broken into the prison breaking out detainees which included some of their own fighters. they urged the governor abdul karim brow, who into surrender. he released this video saying he would not. but jus

security council members to intervene. we have an opportunity, an opportunity to demonstrate the commitment of the un security council and the regional and international community that you represent to prevent galveston from descending into a situation of catastrophe. so serious that it would have few if any parallels in this century, which all balances lie for us. now, in kabul, charlotte, a 2nd provincial capital ship, a gun in the north, has apparently been taken over. what more do we know? well, a local source affiliated with the government has told us that sure the gun has fallen to the taliban, although it is quite new in fluid. the color bomb put out a statement saying that they have taken the city to show the gun and therefore, the province of jose, john and the north. they said that this happened early this afternoon when they got the police district offices. the intelligence office is the governor's compound, they even rated the prison and released a number of prisoners, although the government is denying that they have full control of the city. we do understand, there are some security forces at the airport, and t

and our focus will soon turn to the un security council. we're members will meet soon to consider a draft resolution on safeguarding afghan civilians guaranteeing access for humanitarian aid. will kristin salumi is live from the united nations. i there, kristin. so this is a resolution that's being pushed by by the u. k. m, by france. but what's actually being decided here that's right in the united states has well, with the us withdrawal from afghanistan eminent these 3 major powers. wanted to have on the record, the passage the and call for the safe passage of not only foreign nationals who want to leave the country after the u. s. withdraws but also of any afghan civilians who want to come and go. they are very concerned about the security situation at the airport and on the ground in general. the resolution also calls for safe passage for humanitarian actors as well humanitarian aid and the preservation of human rights, particularly for women and girls, which is of particular concern for the international community that has worked very

this would build on a un security council resolution that had passed on monday.to stick to their promise to let people leave who wanted to leave. and also coordinating with people, countries in the region to make sure that the airport was open. and that un resolution also talked about other expectations from the taliban. things like not creating a safe haven for terrorists, guaranteeing human rights for women and children and girls and minorities in keeping open humanitarian access. a kind of set of ground rules that the international community agreed on in terms of what they wanted to present this new taliban led government and how to deal with them. just this new taliban led government and how to deal with them.— how to deal with them. just briefly, secretary blinking _ how to deal with them. just briefly, secretary blinking is _ how to deal with them. just briefly, secretary blinking is due _ how to deal with them. just briefly, secretary blinking is due to - how to deal with them. just briefly, secretary blinking is due to speak. secretary blinking is due to

we've got this resolution decided, i think, to build on in the un security council among permanent 5 members for the consultation among the g 7. which we've been sharing and g 7 and extended format, working with regional partners to look at ways which we, where we need to move forward on some of the longer term questions. thanks. type some i think from a lot of big newspaper, my question is regarding un troops, are you in favor in your national capacity? are you in favor of having un troops securing the capital area or the airport, and you have any common since you are one of the 3 countries who were responsible for the resolution. any comments on the fact that china and russia abstained and the common they had to cancel? thank you. thank you. so i think on the 1st question, i mean it is critical that the airport is properly secured. and the tragedy of the bombing of the suicide bombing at the airport was such a cool that into question. and apart from the 300 or more people killed and injured meant that the possibility of safe passage was severely disrupted. i think there's still an

you heard these dire warnings of the un security council today, people being stoned to death again, beddingsle having hands chopped off. they are urging the talib to stop and say this is turning into syria or sarajevo. surely those words are going to fall on deaf ears, as far as the taliban are concerned. unless it is backed up by force. after the iraq war, in 2003, that banner on the aircraft carrier, mission accomplished -- this does not look like mission accomplished. this looks more like saigon in vietnam, when americans pulled out with the last helicopter leaving the u.s. embassy. na: it seems like this will not be the last time the u.s. is asked about its policies there. thank you so much for joining us. turning onto greece or a severe heat wave has caused a series of raging wildfes. thousands of people have been ved from their homes in the northern suburbs of athens. the prime minister says the nation is in the midst of an unprecedented environmental crisis. our correspondent is in athens. >> desperate attempts to fight back the fire threatening to engulf the town just north of athens

the un security council holds an emergency session over. i'm going to start with representative devotion concerns over the persistence of terror threats in the country. we are still concerned by the ongoing presence, a terrorist threat to mechanics which can spread across the borders isn't the threatened security of neighboring countries and central asia. the why from moscow? thanks for joining us. and i told our team, and i shall, i'm daniel hawkins. review are welcome to with ours coverage. and we continue looking at the dramatic events that have been unfolding. and i've got a son over the last 24 hours where the taliban, of course, have now declared an end of war. not offered fighters effectually captured every major city in the country, including the capital, cobble of being overthrown, a us invasion 20 years ago. when nathan group is now back in control of the entire state. there are on confirmed reports stating at least 7 people have been killed. the capitals airports a warning you may find the following images distressing the . c bod
