For help to reach the victims of haitis catastrophic earthquake . And 30 years on from the failed coup in russia by communist hard liners. What is its Relevance Today . The taliban had promised there would be no retribution against those who worked with us forces. They also said afghans would be free to leave the country, if they had the right papers. But today both of those promises look uncertain. An Intelligence Briefing for the United Nations says the taliban are stepping up their search for so called collaborators. That includes those who served in the afghan military or police. And the International Airport At Kabul remains chaotic. Our correspondent in Kabul Secunder Kermani reports. This is crowd control, taliban style. Outside the airport, thousands of people desperate to leave. This is the Road Anyone being evacuated has to travel along. The taliban repeatedly stopped us filming. They dont like the images of so many afghans are fleeing their rule.

I want to go anywhere else other than here, says this man. But the embassies and offices are closed. What can i do . Then taliban fighters bring the interview to an end. The taliban are everywhere you go in kabul. They are heavily armed. But for the most part, in the city, they are friendly. Today, so more protests expressing defiance to their rule, rallying around the afghan flag. Outside the canadian embassy, more chaos. Hundreds of people frantically scribbling their names on pieces of paper hoping it will somehow lead to a visa. The embassy has already been evacuated. These people have no real information about what they can do to leave afghanistan, but they are desperate. They are asking us, is it too, will the canadians give me a visa . The fact is, most of these people will never get one. This Family Havent spoken to anyone at the embassy, but heard rumours that if they turn up, they will find help. There is war, misery.

The taliban in advance of moving into all major cities, notjust kabul, not just lets look at covid 19 in the us now. The number of people in hospital is surging , clear evidence the highly contagious Delta Variant is spreading among the unvaccinated. Look at this graph in 7 days to august the 16th, an average of 7a thousand people were in hospital with covid , up from 59 Thousand the previous week. But the numbers are more alarming when you drill down into the younger age categories. In the 30 to 39 age group, infections have been on an upward trend since late june , 30 higher than they were in and hospitalisations for Under 18s are on a similar path. Currently 2000 children are in hospital. Well, earlier i spoke to Dr Jeremy Faust who is an Emergency Room Physician at brigham and womens hospital. I began by asking what he made of these latest us Covid I9 trends. Sydneys lockdown has been extended for at least another month. The decision has not come as a huge surprise, with daily Covid I9 cases growing at a rate rarely seen in australia since the pandemic began. 6a2 new cases in New South Wales were announced on friday, and a further four deaths. In tougher measures parts of sydney most affected by the virus will be put under a night curfew. Foreign aid has started to trickle into haiti five days after a powerful earthquake killed more than 2,000 people and flattened Tens Of Thousands of buildings. Courtney bembridge has more. This was a welcome sight for haitians waiting desperately forforeign aid. I dont have a job. I dont have water. I dont have food. My house was destroyed. There is nothing. Roads and bridges were badly damaged in the earthquake and Heavy Rain since has brought mudslides, hampering efforts to get help for it is most needed. Each family will receive 50 kilos of food. For a family of five it should burst one month. It is very basic aid. It is not enough. These people have enormous needs and we need to help them. Haiti is the poorest country in the americas and it is still recovering from the 2010 earthquake which killed more than 200,000 people. Hurricane matthew destroyed my house. I rebuilt it. It was destroyed again. I have eight children. Things are not good in my community. Thousands of people had been injured in the latest quake and remain cut off from help. Us aircrews reach some of the remote areas and to critical patients while others are being treated in makeshift hospitals. There are also concerns about a looming public health crisis. The sanitation, situation is quite critical and it is our hope that we dont have an outbreak of cholera. So we are preparing for a public health disaster. All the while, tremors are adding to the anxiety. We are afraid to go inside so we sleep on the ground in The Street. Tens of thousands of buildings have been reduced to rubble. Many of them yet to be searched. And officials say the Death Toll will continue to rise. Makayla palazzo is Policy And Advocacy manager at concern worldwide, a humanitarian organisation, and joins me from port au prince. Thank you so much for coming on the programme. You might thank you. You have witnessed some of the badly affected areas and what are some of the things that saw . I what are some of the things that saw . That saw . I have. I was with concern that saw . I have. I was with concern worldwide. That saw . I have. I was with concern worldwide. We that saw . I have. I was with | concern worldwide. We were conducting an observational visit to plan our response and is part of that i had a chance to talk to a lot of people about what they have experienced and three stood out in particular. The first was a man whose Hotel Building had collapsed. I met him and he had a look of disbelief and told me that a few people inside had died and others had been severely injured. He showed me a picture of what the hotel looked like before and it was beautiful. It was unrecognisable compared to what i saw before me. The second was a couple as pharmacy had been destroyed when buildings fell down. While their house was ok across The Street that was the main source of livelihood and they had the Cash Register buried under the rubble which they intended on for funds for they intended on for funds for the next month. I talked to a woman whose family was sleeping outside of their house which had caved in during the earthquake. We asked her if she had hoped to rebuild and she said i sell peanuts for a living. How can i afford to rebuild a home. While i was living that house there was a very slight after shock, so slight i did not feel it myself but it turned everyone around me into a panic which shows the psychological effects people are experiencing after having gone to that dramatic period. Heartbreaking. We are seeing pictures of the devastation as youre speaking. We know there are problems in getting this aid to where it is needed. Why are we having these problems in this Aid Effort . This Aid Effort . First i would sa that this Aid Effort . First i would say that he this Aid Effort . First i would say that he may this Aid Effort . First i would say that he may retain this Aid Effort . First i would say that he may retain un l say that he may retain un organisations and the government are on the ground responding but this is a really challenging operational environment for us. Firstly the scale. The government says that something like 500,000 people are in need which is about 40 of the population and then complicating matters many humanitarian organisations have to travel through gang controlled territory to reach areas. We have been able to negotiate access but thats not secure and not certain we can access those roads in future and on top of all of this logistical challenges as well. Votes have rubble and then still the degree makes it unsafe to drive. We have tropical depressions this week that dumped ten inches of rain in the affected area making it even more difficult to travel but i think it is really important to emphasise here that international ngos, local ngos and the haitian government are all working as hard and quickly as we can to get aid to people. Quickly as we can to get aid to eole. , ~ , thank you. Stay with us on Bbc News still to come. Trans atlantic invasion why these Alien Crabs are threatening biodiversity in the mediterranean.

It failed, largely due to massive civil resitance in the capital moscow. Steve rosenberg reflects on the anniversary. It was the day The World held its breath. There had been a coup in a nuclear superpower. Tanks rolled into Moscow Right up to red square. Communist hardliners has seized power in the Soviet Union. But the people were not having any of it. Defiance on The Streets. And outside parliament. From Russias President boris yeltsin. The coup collapsed. Four months later, so did the country. The Soviet Union was consigned to history. Dmitry had helped build the barricades outside parliament. He and his wife tatiana still remember their elation when the coup failed. I felt a great hope for a great new russia, democratic russia. Where everyone has the right to influence all the things going on but now i feel that my hope failed. The country is deteriorating, Human Rights deteriorating. The Soviet Union is an autonomy. At the time the collapse of the coup was hailed as a victory of People Power but in the years that followed, democracy failed to root itself in russia. That is partly because life became so tough here that in the eyes of many russians, the very concept of democracy became discredited. But it is also because for those running russia today, authoritarian rule is back in fashion. This year, the authorities cracked down hard on anti government protests. And there have been Police Raids on government critics. So, where does that Leave Democracy . For many here a distant memory. This monument honours the three men killed in the 1991 coup.

The Fishing Industry in Southern France is becoming increasingly concerned about the spread of a foreign invader. The bbc� s Tim Allman has the story. They have been fishing these waters for years. They normally make their living from catching eels. But in recent years, the hall is mostly full of crabs. Lots and lots of crabs. Since there are crabs we no longer Catch Eels and as long as we no longer Catch Eels we no longer have any it is worse this year. Last year we caught a few eels but this year nothing. Nothing. The crabs are all over the lagoon everywhere. The Blue Crab has been described as one of the 100 most invasive species of the mediterranean. As well as eels, they eat oysters and mussels in small fish and they are an Alien Invader with a voracious appetite that could threaten local biodiversity. So it is a species that come from the north East Coast of the us. It grows very fast. It is opportunistic. It eats everything and reproduces very quickly. You can say that again. Along these coastal lagoons are single female crab can lay around 2 Million eggs one suggestion, these fishermen could start selling the crabs themselves. Its flesh is said to have a subtly sweet flavour. Perhaps the hunter becomes the hunted. You can reach me on twitter im l vaughanjones. Hello. After whats been a relatively cloudy and relatively cool week so far for many of us, the weather is set to change a little bit through friday and into the weekend. It will briefly turn a little bit warmer. It will also start to turn a lot wetter because low pressure is pushing in from the west. This frontal system bringing rain very early on on friday across Northern Ireland. That Will Push Eastwards over the coming days. But ahead of that weather front, we draw in a southerly wind, bringing some slightly warmer air in our direction. But many of us are going to start off on quite a cloudy note on friday. For england, wales and scotland, most places will be dry, just the odd spot of rain. But for Northern Ireland, this Heavy Rain working its way in. That will persist into the afternoon, Rain Extending into southwest scotland, maybe getting into western fringes of england and wales. Further east, a few sunny spells will start to develop. Turning quite breezy, particularly for western coasts, but with that breeze coming up from the south, itll feel a little bit warmer. And given some sunshine, Eastern England could see highs of around 2a degrees. As we head through friday night, our band of rain will move a little further eastwards. Its likely to dry out a little bit across Northern Ireland by saturday morning, some Mist And Murk and low cloud on what will be a pretty mild night. A mild start to saturday with our band of Rain Working Erratically Eastwards and heavy bursts running along it. Eastern parts of england will see a little bit of sunshine for a time. Northern ireland should brighten up, too, along with the far west of scotland, wales and the southwest, but some thundery showers could break out here later. Highest temperatures likely to be across Eastern England if we see some sunshine, maybe up to 25 degrees. But for the second half of the weekend, this frontal system continues to journey eastwards. We end up with a little area of low pressure lingering close to eastern counties of england, so still the potential for some rain here. Quite windy for some of these eastern coasts as well. Elsewhere, some sunny spells, a scattering of showers, but we lose that southerly flow, we lose that slightly warmer feel. Now, into next week, High Pressure looks set to establish itself, but the winds generally will be coming down from the north. To see any sort of heat wave, wed need the winds to come up from the south, but thats not going to happen. So, there is some pleasant weather to come through next week. A bit more in the way of sunshine, a lot of dry weather, but no real heat wave. Temperatures generally around the low 20s. This is Bbc News.
