More than 200,000 people died in that. The country still recovering from that. The government of qatar, which is mediating talks involving the afghan government and the taliban, has called on the militants to stop their offensive. But taliban have continued to seize more territory across afghanistan, moving closer to kabul. Heavy fighting has broken out in the afghan city of mazar i sharif, the afghan governments last major city in the north. We are also hearing that the taliban have seized control of the Capital Cities of two other provinces today. Meanwhile, the Afghan President , ashraf ghani, has spoken publicly for the first time since the taliban intensified their latest offensive. In a televised address to the nation, he described the Remobilization Of Armed Forces as his top priority. Translation our dear country, afghanistan, is in severe danger of instability. 2010 earthQuake really fresh in the minds of haitian, just a quick reminder, that was only, if you can say only, but that was a seven magnitude earthQuake. More than 200,000 people died in that. The country still recovering from that. I offer my condolences to the martyrs of the Security Forces and civilian, and wish the injured people a speedy recovery. 0ur Effort is to take care of our compatriots who have been displaced due the situation.

I heard another think he will do that . Thank you for having me. I heard another priority| having me. I heard another priority from President Ashraf ghani as well, which was very much about avoiding further bloodshed and destruction, particularly In Kabul and i think thatis particularly In Kabul and i think that is absolutely the priority now, time needs to be won, and time can be won by continuing to support the afghan force, including us support for them, afghan force, including us support forthem, but afghan force, including us support for them, but time for a political settlement, the urgency for that is clear qatar as you say is hosting talk, those showed proceed quickly and seriously, all the regional powers should be involved. There needs to be time for a political settlement and time for a proper management of this, to avoid a humanitarian disaster In Kabul. The taliban dont want to give up any time do they .

They will crash into The End of it. They will crash into the reality of a divided afghanistan, where they are are not welcome by significant constituencies across the country. Going into a crash of International Isolation, that has been clearly signalled and they are going into taking responsibility for a huge humanitarian Case Load and disaster for which they are not equipped to deal.

We know how and we have seen how they are treated, we spoke recently to an afghan member in doha, and you know, he described how those who broke their rules were treated, and we know how they treat women, so, if they dont agree to a peace deal, why should they . There is no threat to their existence . To their existence . There are those within the taliban to their existence . There are those within the taliban who to their existence . There are those within the taliban who have within the taliban who have experienced the effects of International Isolation after 1996 and they are wise enough to know that that is not something that they should be repeating or need to repeat or want to repeat, so there is possibility, but i absolutely agree, time is desperately short, the momentum is clearly with the taliban, but they need to pause, they need to apply the brakes and all of those with influence on them need to be saying the same thing, the situation needs to be managed. And who would be the alternative . . If the taliban isnt there, because already people are questioning the legitimacy of President Ashraf ghani. I legitimacy of President Ashraf ghanl ~. Legitimacy of President Ashraf ghani. ~. ,. , ghani. I think we have to be absolutely ghani. I think we have to be absolutely clear ghani. I think we have to be absolutely clear that ghani. I think we have to be absolutely clear that the ghani. I think we have to be absolutely clear that the taliban will be a major political factor in the future immediately of afghanistan. There is no doubt. But they are not the only constituency, they are not the only constituency, they are not the only religious or ethnic group in the country too and the only success for afghanistan can be an inclusive political settlement that brings together all the stakeholders, and the taliban know they cannot impose their will. They didnt up until 2001 run the whole country, but these are desperate time, the humanitarian situation concerns me enormously, 5. 5 Million people were food insecure before this offensive started and so it is only worse now, particularly with internally displaced people. There need to be a Concerted International Un led effort for a humanitarian response and that also requires a pause now, in the fighting. fine Response and that also requires a pause now, in the fighting. One of the thin. S pause now, in the fighting. One of the things the pause now, in the fighting. One of the things the we pause now, in the fighting. One of the things the we are pause now, in the fighting. One of the things the we are hearing, pause now, in the fighting. One of the things the we are hearing, sir| the things the we are hearing, sir nicholas, is the concerns regarding women, and the treatment of women. So as well as the humanitarian concern, that you have laid out there, obviously it is Human Rights as well. We are talking about about. You have worked in afghanistan. I wonder if you could explain to us why do the taliban have a problem with women . I why do the taliban have a problem with women . Why do the taliban have a problem with women .

I had the privilege of being a Uk Ambassador before i i being a Uk Ambassador before i retired. I am being a Uk Ambassador before i retired. Iam not being a Uk Ambassador before i retired. I am not a spokesperson for the taliban you would have to ask them. But it is well documented their period up until 2001 their treatment of women infringed all international standards and norms, and the world has changed, the taliban may not have changed, but they have to realise that the world has changed everyone since the mid 90s, there is now robust accountability for War Crimes for crimes against humanity and also for international criminal actions too, and that needs to be factored in too. ~ ,. , and that needs to be factored in too.

As i say, i hope that there will be a pause, and Wise Heads Will Prepail and those with influence upon the taliban will help to achieve that, so there can be a managed political transition that takes place.

Research also suggests three in five people would delay seeking medical advice because they dont want to be a burden during the pandemic. 0ur Health CorrespondentAnna Collinson reports. Cancer services are back to pre pandemic levels and are busy, but Nhs England says over the past year there has been a 10 drop in cancer patients receiving treatment. We know that people are out there and we are worried they may have symptoms and not be coming forward, so the purpose of this campaign is to highlight those symptoms, to make sure people are aware of what is normal and whats not normal for them, and to come forward if they need help. Just, youve said it too. Health officials are particularly concerned about abdominal, neurological and lung cancers, as this new advert shows, symptoms can include discomfort in the stomach, blood and urine, persistent diarrhoea or a cough that lasts longer than three weeks. It was a gp who first detected Declans Kidney Cancer eight years ago. He is now a patient at this Urology Clinic at Guys Hospital in london, and is mostly able to live a normal life. If there is something bothering you it may not be something serious but it is absolutely worth getting it checked out, you know . And i know that you can go to your gp. I think some people think that these things arent happening now, but they are. The earlier cancers are detected, the more likely it is that we can treat them effectively. If a patient spots a possible symptom, the nhs as it is ready to help. Anna collinson, Bbc News.

A water dropping plane with eight people On Board has crashed in southern turkey, killing all On Board. Russias Defence Ministry said five russian servicemen and three turkish citizens were On Board the plane. The country has been trying to contain some of the worst wildfires in years along the south coast. At least a0 people are known to have died from the devastating floods along turkeys black sea coast. In the worst hit town, bozkurt, several apartment blocks were brought down by floodwaters from a swollen river. President erdogan promised swift Government Help to rebuild but some residents have criticised the authorities for failing to provide an early warning. Seals are a big attraction for tourists visiting the eastern coast of england, especially the northern county of yorkshire. But as Visitor Numbers increase, conservationists are worried that the seals are getting stressed. Theyre particularly concerned that people and dogs are getting far too close for comfort. Heres our environment correspondent, paul murphy. Yorkshires Seal Population is one of the wonders of the East Coast but it is under threat. The biggest impact is coming from human disturbance. Selfies on the shoreline or perhaps just dogs that are brought to close. Predominantly what is happening to the seals is they will have a Fight Or Flight response, they will perceive the human is a threat and try to escape that threat. We have seen a massive prevalence of humans try to seek out those encounters so rather than be anecdotal, there actively out anecdotal, theyre actively out walking to pursue them. This is what can happen, it is known as a seal stampede, they injure themselves as safely across the rocky shore line. Even from a distance they can find humans intimidating. You dont realise youre quite far from them for them to be like that, yeah. I didnt think they would be that sensitive to us being 200 metres from them. The surge of visitors to this coast has meant extra policing has been put in place to safeguard birds, whales and dolphins from irresponsible water users, but conservationists have now launched an online petition to get specific legal protection for the seal colonies. So where you have whales, dolphins and porpoises, seals are separate from that. So whilst the former are protected from harassment and reckless disturbance, seals are not, so we are trying to change the law here in the uk or particularly england and wales. Government funded campaigns are trying to get the message across, but the stark reality is that if the disturbances continue, experts believe the Seal Population could actually start to decline. Paul murphy, Bbc News on the East Yorkshire coast. Lets remind you of our Breaking News this hour. A big earthQuake has hit haiti, prompting fears that many people have been killed. The haitian Prime Minister says the Quake caused � several� deaths in various parts of haiti. This is coming from the Prime Minister, enormous damage to southern areas of the island, the us gs has issued a Red Alert which warns of deaths and damage to the local infrastructure as well. So it struck at 7. 2 magnitude on Saturday Morning at a depth of ten kilometres, it was round 150 kilometres, it was round 150 Kilometres West of the Capital PortAu Prince. You remember port Au Prince. You remember port Au Prince was hit badly back in 2010, devastating earthQuake, it was a seven magnitude earthQuake, and it resulted in over 200,000 deaths, so far, and i must stress this, we are simply getting reports of several deaths and this is how the haitian Prime Minister is describing it, but also enormous damage, Social Media has been showing video, we have yet to verify them, of buildings and rubble and people also being pulled out of the rubble of what was once their homes. We are getting more on this, we are watching it very closely, do stay with us here on Bbc News. We are going to have the latest news on Bbc One with rita. First here is the weather. Hello, its a mixed picture this weekend. Sunshine for some. Cloud and rain for others. Has been bringing rain into parts of wales, the midlands, Northern England and Northern Ireland, but elsewhere, we have had some warm spells of sunshine, this is the earlier Radar Picture you with see we have had the breaks in The Cloud, this rain pushing in to Northern Ireland, Northern England, lingering across parts of the midlands and North Wales but that will begin to ease this evening, it will fizzle out as we head through the overnight period. The showers becoming confined to Northern Scotland but we could see more cloud pushing back in to wales and south West England later, Bringing Mistiness And Patchy Light Rain and drizzle. It a mild night again for most. Could dip into single figures in scotland and the far north of england. The Frontal System is still with us tomorrow, bringing a lot of cloud and patchy Rain Tieded in with this, particularly in the Morning And SouthWest England. Still the zone of Cloud And Rain through Northern England, looks like the showers will be mostly confined to the far north of scotland, so away from this zone of scotland, so away from this zone of cloud across Northern England and the midlands, should see spells of sunshine, once again in East Anglia and the south East England which will help temperatures up to 23, but just 11 celsius for the Northern Isles and a rather cool day in Northern Ireland as well. Through Sunday Night and into monday, looks like we will lose the rain across england and wales but keep the showers going across scotland and also a Cooler North westerly wind setting up as we head into monday. That is quite a moist airflow so we will see a lot of Cloud Round as we start Monday Morning, could see one or two showers feeding in on the north westerly wind. Most should have a dry day and the best of any Brightness Or Sunshine will by a cross eastern counties of Scotland And England but certainly a cooler feeling day to start the new week, with highs of round 16 to 20 celsius. Now for the week ahead Little Change really, you can see temperatures round about average, could get warmer by The End of the week but on most days there will be cloud with the north westerly wind, it will bring in one or two showers but the week ahead is looking fairly quiet and mostly dry.

The second element is a certificate for the Shot Gun and Shot Gun itself were taken off him in december because of an allegation of assault in september but injuly police returned both to him and anybody who did any research onJake Davison after the shooting could go through his social Media History and see elements of depression, extreme violence towards his mother being discussed, discussion of extreme violence towards other women and an obsession with Mass Shootings and one of the questions will be was enough research done onJake Davison before at certificate and that shotgun were returned to him . In afghanistan, the taliban have continued to seize yet more territory and are now in control of more regional capitals than the government.

We are hungry, we have no home. 0ther Makeshift camps are even bigger, but this, in the heart of the city, shows how quickly the country is unravelling. We dont go back to the 19th century. We just want to be as far as we have developed until here, we want to go further and further. We dont want to go back to the era where sisters in our education sector, in our development sector, was so harsh, we dont want to go back to that. Today fighting erupted around mazar i sharif, one of the few major cities still under government control. Whilst in kandahar the insurgents cemented their position, with their own flag hoisting ceremony. Finally addressing the nation, president ghani didnt comment on rumours he may resign. Instead, simply promising to remobilise beleaguered forces. For now, for many people here In Kabul, life is continuing more or less as normal but the taliban are getting closer and closer to the city and there is increasing concern a fierce and protracted Battle For Control Of Kabul the speed of the advance of the taliban has led to the us and uk sending in more than 3500 troops to afghanistan to repatriate many of their own citizens and many embassy staff. Many afghan cities are now being handed over to the taliban following local deals with the Security Forces. That may be the only way to avoid even more suffering In Kabul, too, but it would mean an end to the life here as residents residents know it. Secunder kermani, Bbc News, kabul.

James, thank you Manchester United made a superb start to their Premier League Campaign today with an emphatic 5 1 victory over leeds. Patrick gearey was watching. Two uniteds sharply divided. If you wanted a game to demonstrate the difference having a Capacity Crowd makes, here it was. A chance to feel the expectation that followed paul pogbas pass to bruno fernandes. The goal and the reaction a long time coming. But under marcelo bielsa, leeds attack in faith and numbers. The man coming onto the ball is in their right back, luke ayling. Absolute mayhem. Commentator theres an early contender for goal of the month. | what a moment, butjust a moment. Mason greenwood was born in bradford but came to manchester, here completely bypassing leeds. 21. Now Manchester United pounced. Fernandes again, his shot cleared not off the line but, as it turned out, just over it. Goal. While leeds want to be full fat going forward, they were thin at the back. 0ne pass, one shot. Fernandes, three, Manchester United, four. And still they advanced. Now with pogba. Play it right, said fred, and he made it five. Some start. The two uniteds comprehensively divided. Patrick gearey, Bbc News. Were back with the late news at ten. Now on Bbc One its time for the news where you are. Hello and welcome to the Film Review with me, anna smith. Im filling in for Mark Kermode to review this weeks releases. There are a lot of films in cinemas this week and im going to start with my personal favourite. Im your man, a genderflip on the Pygmalion Myth starring downton abbeys Dan Stevens as a romantic robot. Set in berlin, im your man is a german Comedy Drama with a Sci Fi twist. It stars the excellent Maren Eggert as alma, a scientist who is taking part in a trial of Humanoid Robots to see if they could make realistic life partners. Almas ideal match has been created using algorithms based on her brain scans, her responses and research involving 17 Million people. As it happens, alma has a soft Spot Forforeign men. Enter Dan Stevens as tom, a charmer who speaks fluent german with an english accent. He speaks german. Alma is initially sceptical, but when she starts to warm to tom, she plunges into a period of Self Analysis and self doubt. Im your man has a very sharp sense of humour, and a Pitch PerfectDan Stevens makes the most of comical misunderstandings between humans and ai. But this also takes a serious look at identity, humanity, attraction and happiness. The set up recalls everything from Blade Runner to the 2013 Sci Fi her. But this is inspired by a Short Story by emma braslavsky, and directed by Maria Schrader and the female perspective makes it a distinctly different work. Im your man is a playful intelligent Conversation Starter that is as fun to watch alone as it is with a Real Life partner. He speaks german. It is in cinemas and on Curzon Home Cinema now. My name is guy. Sunday should be warm and sunny. Just a scattering of drive bys. And i live in paradise. Ive got a best friend. This is the greatest cup of coffee of all time. Mondays, am i right, joe . Now to another charming funny ai character, this time played by Ryan Reynolds in the disney Action Comedy free guy. Guy is a cheerful Bank Teller who loves his routine life, from his Morning Coffee to small talk with his co Worker Buddy who is played by lil rel howery. He even shrugs off the daily raids from bank robbers. What he doesnt realise is he is a Background Player in an open World Video Game called free city. Those violent robbers wearing sun glasses, they are avatars of Geeky Real World players. When he sees molotov girl, played by killing evesjodie comer, he falls for her, not realising she is the real World Coder who is trying to prove that her idea is stolen and so a Computer Game Comedy turns into a romantic Action Thriller with existential angst to spare. Free guy owes a debt to more classic Sci Fis than i have time to list, but there are clear parallels with galaxy quest, tron, Groundhog Day and the matrix. But its biggest influence is perhaps the truman show. Likejim carey before him, our innocent hero grapples with the knowledge he has been living a lie and is merely a pawn in a world created for the entertainment of others. This is a much busierfilm than the truman show. This Central Idea gives the Film Heart and its helped considerably by Reynolds Ability to balance deadpan comedy with sensitive boyish charm, and a dash of deadpool� s mischief. Jodie comer proves her versatility as both her English Avatar and The American who created her, although i was a bit disappointed that this Genius Coder is characterised chiefly by her love of Bubble Gum IceCream And Mariah carey. Still, she shares good chemistry with reynolds, as well asjoe keery, who plays her former creative partner. Meanwhile, Taika Waititi and Channing Tatum enjoy smaller roles that are amusing, if not hilarious. Free Guy Isnt as powerful as the films it recalls, but it is an enjoyable actioner that brings a pacifist message to the genre, and for a disney film it even takes a swipe at our sequel obsessed culture. Bring on free guy two. Meantime, free guy is in cinemas now. Forgive me, im just a bit. Sorry, james, i know you said you had an office in board of trade, but. Is it possible you actually work at a different branch of her Majestys Government . Oh my. This is unexpected. A salesman is recruited as a spy in the courier, a True Story starring benedict cumberbatch. Greville wynne is an ordinary british businessman who is surprised to be approached by m16 and the cia during the cold war. After some debate he agrees to peddle his wares in the soviet union, while forming a partnership with a soviet officer, 0leg penkovsky. It is a tall order keeping his Work A Secret from his wife, played byjessie buckley, but then there is the more pressing concern of the soviets finding him out. Dominic Cooks Period Thriller is a quiet but classy watch. And while its a little exposition heavy, it tells a fascinating story with strong performances all round. I am volunteering to bring back the best source of soviet Intelligence Youve got at a time where Russia And America are on the brink of nuclear war. You talk about using people. For gods sake, use me. The courier is in cinemas now. Get out of here. Johnny depp also plays a reluctant real Life Hero this week, in the drama minamata. In depps first release since his lost his Libel Case against the publishers of the sun newspaper, he plays Life Magazine PhotoJournalist W Eugene smith. Smith was instrumental in documenting the devastating effects of Mercury Poisoning in the japanese coastal city of minamata. This follows his recruitment by aileen, who is played by the japanese actress minami, and his shocking discoveries in minamata, where afflicted families are battling for compensation. Andrew levitas� film feels torn between detailing the fight forjustice, and exploring its alcoholic central character, and the balance doesnt feel particularly even. But once again it is a powerful and important story, and its depps best for some time. No one has really covered it. I mean, its in the god damn fish. And thats all those poor people have to eat. The times has a tokyo desk. And we have deadlines literally one hour. So that sounds to me like, bob, time is of the essence. And you know that the Cover Up is going to be as much of a story as the story itself. Minimata is in cinemas now. I love a tense real time thriller, and the Mexican FilmNew Order did not disappoint. The winner of the grand Jury Prize at last years venice film festival, New Order is not an escapist thriller. Its a disturbing dystopian Nail Biter about escalating Class Warfare in mexico city. As a lavish wedding is taking place, riots are erupting in the streets and the peril spills into the festivities. Meanwhile, the bride sets off on a dangerous mission to help a former member of staff. A gripping and disturbing thriller, New Order is another powerful film from after Lucia Director Michael franco, and it will stay with you long after the credits roll. It is in cinemas now. Finally, a musical Crowd Pleaser called coda, which stands for child of deaf adults. An american remake of the French Film la famille belier, it stars Emilia Jones as ruby, a 17 year old who is the only Hearing Member of her family. Outside of school, her spare time is spent acting as an interpreter for her parents and brother and working on theirfishing boat. But ruby has a secret. She loves to sing. Spurred on by her teacher, she considers a career in music but she fears her parents wont support her ambitions. Funny and unconventional, rubys parents bring Wit And Warmth to the story, and crucially they are played by deaf actors, Troy Kotsur and marlee matlin, who won an oscar for Children Of A Lesser God in 1986. As for the hearing cast, Emilia Jones, who is the daughter of singer aled jones, is terrific, though Eugenio Derbez feels miscast as her flamboyant music teacher. Still, i was prepared to forgive and forget when it came to the emotionalfinale. Coda is an uplifting, inclusive Tear Jerker with a flavour of the tv series glee, and it is a real step forward when it comes to the representation of deaf characters on screen. It is in cinemas, and on Apple Tv plus now. Thanks for watching the Film Review with me anna smith. I will be back next week. Meantime, stay safe. Hello, its a mixed picture this weekend.
