ah, on the 10th anniversary, we look at the situation in the will. young gets country off the civil war and the displacement of 1000000 have a you have a listen. government. secure stability for the violence of the past fell into the oil rich nathan, south sudan, 10 years better coverage on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello, i'm north tina. this is down here. news. i live from london coming up, a plea for help from lebanon's can't take a prime minister because his country's hurtling towards a social explosion. i've got to sell and says it's launching

a counter offensive to take back the district seized by the taliban. he was one scene of the better russian president main election rival. now, victor rica has been jailed for 14 years and all 3 of ours enforced in commission and finally rises on the can film festival. i'm devin ash, with both of us do are 2020 semi final gone into extra time. italy we're leading with 10 minutes left. same hit back late on tuesday. and again, i have been in his pleading for international help with the catch a prime minister warning the country is just days away from a social explosion. how sunday ab says, global health is urgently needed to prevent outright economic ruin. lebanon's currency is foreign to the floor. it's not last about 90 percent of what it was worth. in late 2019 blackouts, a common because of

a dilapidated power grid. some areas are only getting to as well interesting day while drastic fuel shortages mean even private generations failing. hospitals have dropped elective procedures and rationing medical supplies. and lack of fuel is led to fight, so petrol stations. dia warned the lebanese people are running out of patience. and when ashley, though i reckon my plate today to all the king's princesses, presidents, leaders and ally and friendly nations, and i call on the united nations and all international agencies in public opinion, to help save to live in these people from teeth and prevent the destruction of the country, leaping on is it a short distance from a social explosion and the liberties are facing the stock site on their own? so the holder has more from beirut. the country is in crisis, it has been in crisis for more than a year. the state is near nearly bankrupt and it's just

a daily struggle for every lebanese. we're outside one of the gas stations here, and you see the long lines, people wait for hours just to fill up one 3rd of their fuel time. there is a fuel crisis just as there is a lack of medicine after people fill up their cars with gas, they go to pharmacy to start looking for medicines, which more often than not, they do not find. and then there's a hyper inflation, the price of food. it has more than tripled in recent months. yet the minimum wage remains the same. and the majority of the lebanese people turn in the local currency, which is now worth less than $50.00. and the reason is if i were to destroy god without throwing up, we have money, we're going to buy anything. we have money, really. we have money about going to buy anything. that's not there goes on. there

are those people who fill earnest salary, but unemployment is on the rise. it's now 35 percent and research institute say it is going to increase to 40 percent of the. this is a country which is starving for dollars for hard currency. and the central bank mandatory reserve is drying out, and the central bank was giving importers dollars in order to buy fuel medicine as an affordable price to subsidize these goods. and like i mentioned, it's running out fuel prices have increased by, by 50, by 50 percent. so has the price of bread, so people are struggling and you just heard. a that man, there are those who have money or able to buy something just can't because they cannot find it in the country which import to almost everything that it needs. emission, cosa, is a managing director of a root, consulting joyce's life, melodies capital, thanks very much for being with us. how accurate do you think is the can take

a prime ministers warning? the dilemma has been days away from social explosion. we are already into inside the social explosion. it is the consequence of the policies of this government because, you know, they started the subsidy program since last year, which has the trigger, the a huge problem of smuggling. and the hardening of goods by many of traders started the program has failed all over the world and they were following it since last year. we need to stop it right away and we need to health ed for persons who cannot afford to buy the basic stuff. this is what needs to be happen and anything related to the stop. yeah, i mean the, you installed agency last week, the 77 percent of households didn't have food or can't afford to buy food. is that your impression of how serious it is on the, on the future? just wondering why, why is it so scott was speechless. guess actually,

you know, the most, the important is the, the basic basic was the basic food and the basic medicine and the fuel for, for the, for the hospitals, we have a current, the problem we have a evaluation was it's getting hyper inflation. and you know, 80 to 90 percent of the saturday. that's why most people they cannot afford anymore to buy anything related to the basic stuff. we have subsidies on the medicine, but people cannot find them inside the pharmacies. the same problem, we have it and the and if you will, you know, it still. so it's the 75 percent may be subsidized on our pricing fuel at the $1500.00 for, for the euro. while it should be on the, at the price of the, of the market, which is $18000.00. so basically, traders that are not selling the fuel, they are trying to smuggle it across the borders. or they are trying to,

to keep it inside their storage to set it later at a higher price. that's why we have a fuel problem right now. tell me what, what reaction is we can expect from the international community for that call from for help from, from d, given that billions of dollars of a were pledged at the time of the port explosion. and, but they were tied to the formation of a government. and so in that still hasn't happened. actually we need to go and buy a bigger plan. we need to go to the i, m f to solve the, solve this, the sewage problem that you are facing right now. we cannot, we cannot do anything anymore ourselves. we need the an international umbrella to come to us with, with a full program to help us get out of this crisis. we cannot do things in portions anymore. we have to do a full recovery program to regain trust and to try to solve our,

our currency. this is the major issue right now. we have a currency that has already evaluated from 150800000 we are running out of dollars . so we need the i'm as soon as possible. thank you very much and into mishenko, after talking to thank you. thank you. coming up on the news out from london, parents praise, they wait for news after the nation school can nothing and non area where is a growing of a last generation of students. hopes a criminal investigation will find out why a plane crashed into a russian mountain, killing 28 people. and coming up in 40 lympics protested, arrested squatting. a water pistol. ah. the african government says areas recently captured by the taliban will soon be retaken in a counter offensive its national security advisors,

as hundreds of security personnel who fled into tajikistan will be brought back to rejoined the fight. this is the pentagon says the withdrawal of us forces is 90 percent complete. the taliban have taken control of another 36 districts or 10 percent of the country in just the past 6 days. if doubled the number of districts they control since may the 1st, when u. s. nature forces started their final withdraw. but in the last 24 hours, the african air force says it's killed. 261 taliban fighters. an injured hundreds more under chappelle report. was on the ground taliban fighters have been taking one district after another. they now control of ghana stands in northern border, which has she could stand the african governments as a counter offensive is on the way and will include soldiers who fled from the border this week. the way mother may have one is on even the african people expected that after the withdrawal of american forces in other countries, there would be no excuse for the tele bond to continue the war. and they should

cease and resolve their problem through negotiations in peace. but unfortunately, you see that instead they started an undeclared war and intensified it in the skies . the african air force is hitting back, carrying out air strikes on tolerable gatherings. it may not have the latest equipment, but the afghan air force is trained and capable. its attack, helicopters and planes are equipped with laser guided bombs. you know, if we compared our self with the american, it's a big difference. the new afghan commander, bathroom air base knows they may not have as much firepower, but he says they're ready for what comes. everybody knows we are living in a candidate for the kid for it if continue. so in this case, some, some time we go for some sometime week, we fit back. this is war in a combat, everything is possible. and nothing in this table. for the internationally backed government to retake northern areas and keep its capital secure,

it must hold on to borrow. the americans left the base last week, but there's a prison at the site holding 5000 and taliban fighters, raphael, or private in the afghan national army believes and attack is coming to freedom. what model has it is now? we haven't come here to sleep. everybody here is prepared to secure a bad gram. a morale is high bomb, but morale may not be high for long with the taliban. intensifying its attack. it's really the taliban having leverage, have to be upper hand. and i think there's a snowball effect. once you start seeing that in various provinces throughout the country, can become very hard to reverse, particularly with now let's not forget without robust us military backing and support. so in the interest of the united states, it's in the interests of countries in the region to ensure that the afghan government does not collapse, but we're heading to a pretty dark place at the moment. the pentagon says the u. s. withdrawal is more than 90 percent complete,

a lot can happen on the battlefield between now and then enter chappelle al jazeera . it goes to rosen, jordan in washington, dc. what's the state department been saying about this? while the state department is saying that the usaa was very clear when president joe biden made his decision to withdraw us forces from afghanistan after a war that's been nearly 20 years long. he also said that this is a situation where the owners is now on the taller bond to show good faith. he does not just, the government can stand. it is not just the united states, it's not just a broad swath of the international community that recognizes that there is no military solution to this conflict. the fact that the taliban continues to engage in doha to engage in intra ask in dialogue is itself most likely a reflection of the fact that the taliban to understands that only through

diplomacy? can they garner any sort of legitimacy? and is there any sense from us officials that this isn't going according to plan? well, not on the record. what you heard from officials at the white house at the pentagon and the state department on tuesday was a sense that things have been going to plan that the us and coalition withdrawal from afghanistan is going the way that it should be. and that they are really placing the expectations on the central government and cobble as well as on the afghan people to stand up and try to shape their country in an afghan vision, not in a us lead vision or in a western society like vision. but there is some concern, particularly among security analysts, that the taller bond may be reclaiming territory,

not just for its own political ambitions, but really to try to take control once again of the country and perhaps bring along some negative impacts at least from the western point of view closing, jordan, thank you very much. your entire agency's, a warning arise in school kidnappings. in northwestern adria is disrupting the education of hundreds of thousands of children around a 1000 students and staff have been abducted since december. the latest attack took place on monday at a boarding school in kaduna state, nearly 150 students, a missing for dennis and bar reports from a boucher. well, the district friends gather at the school compound, consoling one another. i think when to hear news of the meeting, children reaped fond of an empty bed. all the remain after a pack of radiate the baton baptist boarding school in not with my dear where students

to the sentence that's been given to barracka. good evening. first of all, a kind of lee, they sir, that victor were sentenced to 14 years in prison. and besides that, he was also find with 50000000 years dollars. so they, sir, sentenced is definitely politically motivated and the charges of corruption. they have nothing to do with the reality because his bank a worse audited for around 20 years in a row and no problem sexually, thea, the problems for victor. but it could be a totally after his announcement to run for the presidency. and since that moment is problem started to be, and that's also right and connection to myself often sort of get your off sky that

we lived in normal life. but when we announced our decision to run for the president, we immediately appear to be criminals. and what does this mean for the, for the other political persons, as we mentioned, they're not just the high profile ones, but hundreds of others. what are the chances of them being released in the near future? ella ruth, but i don't know if you are aware, but more than 35000 to bill of russians went through different terms in prism during the last presidential elections. and the events happen top to the day of the presidential elections. and just for you to know this is 3.5 times more than you are in polish, solid dotted mist and the number for political prisoners in bill rooster near appeared to be the largest stopped of the 2nd world war in europe. much momentum is

course when people do not have any outcome, they do not see any way out of this political situation and when the car and the guy will look shameka doesn't want to leave paul on any circumstances. the people, they really believe that they are the main source of power in the country and they will continue to fight. and we are just waiting for the right course. and we see the reaction of the western country they sanction same posed on these regime. now we see the full across the round of sanctions from the side of the european union. the so next week the united states of america will announce the next round of sanctions against him and look a sam k. he also makes a local for not mistakes even, but you know, just the moves that will even deter rate his situation. he
