4:02 pm
london. thousands of demonstrators of rallied against what they say is roshan, that, that civil liberties, they say, track and trace measures using a mobile phone up and limiting them movement. england lifted most of its pandemic restrictions last week. and this is the scene in the french capital demonstrates, is there a rally against the introduction of a so called health path stand news and some travel options. opponent say it's an attack on the civil liberties. let's take a closer look at francis health pass. it shows if the holder has been vaccinated, had a recent negative code 19 test, all recently recovered from the virus. it was introduced early this month. the people going to large scale festivals and nightclubs. on, on wednesday it became compulsory for visitors to sports events, museum cinemas, and other cultural venues. on the beginning of olga study mandatory for restaurants, bars, as well as long distance train and plain journeys. bahati lawson is

a professor of anthropology risk, a decision signs of the department of infectious disease epidemiology at the london school of hygiene and tropical medicine and join me now from london. go with us on the program at this last mean the government to any government would suppose a damned if they do and damned if they don't find a solution to movement and business generation within any country be at france or the united kingdom. so a vaccine passport does seem a logical way forward. yes it, it makes a lot of sense. and ironically, for those who want their freedoms, the vaccine can allow different freedoms. i mean, when you think about it, the options to this past are that we close restaurants. we stop large gatherings. it's we have to give somewhere. if we want to get ahead of those virus, do you think the messaging has been, you might say lacking from the,
4:04 pm
from various governments because one can see the logic in the vaccine path in gaining your liberties, gaining your movement, gaining your so called freedom, an inverted covers whatever that freedom may be, but the messaging has been weak or inconsistent. well, i think the part of the anger and the frustration is not just about today. it's accumulated frustration over, you know, along a long time. now. i mean, it's been an era was at the beginning of this, the worst of it, and it's been a very long year and a half people are angry. people are frustrated. i mean, the irony of these demonstrations here in london so called freedom gay. it seemed like a total contradiction, but it just speaks to how this is much deeper issues and anxieties. people are not happy about the way government have handled this in some settings,
4:05 pm
but that's not helping us move forward. we do find that these kind of measures can be helpful even though there are protest and but i think that if we really want to slow this down, we're going to need some, some effort. here. we've done a lot of research with the public on these issues. overall, the people who get vaccinated and are positive are very happy about these measures . they're very willing. but the ones who hesitate or refused are very much against the notion of being documented and being it makes them even more reluctant . so we have very complicated publics right now in a, in a complicated situation. but i think our choices to let this virus get ahead, take us hostage again, or we try to ran it in and try to restore our economies and our academic and social
4:06 pm
lives. and that is the real worry, isn't it? is that you want to open up the rest of the world, certainly during the summer months, because if you don't, then you have a looming all in the winter weather israel consent for the skeptics that may be watching al jazeera right now around the world and seeing those demonstrations in france and united kingdom. can you actually just advise them? what are the advantages of having such a mobility pass a vaccine pass where ever you want to call it? and what you think the minimum requirements of your sort of personal identity a required in that pass. and those are the questions you should ask from your national governments. what would you like to see in a pass that works for everyone? i think that it's really important to i think we really people have to think beyond themselves. this is not about an individual. this is about what you do affecting others. and if for one minute, people who are full we seem to have lost
4:07 pm
heidi last in dialog connection. she slightly frozen, i think, but we can see the scene certainly from france, obviously, many people out there in the french capital hoping to understand what the vaccine path may be, but also to voice that protest at what the president and then will macro had proposed earlier in the week and of course will follow those demonstrations both in friends and in the u. k. as the day progresses. well, thousands of people in australia, most australians with popular city have preached korean virus restrictions to protest against locked on measures. the but me because it's to me and items are thrown at officers. please shut down the city center. i made a number of arrests. sydney's been locked down for the past 4 weeks. the state of

4:13 pm
a limb. pick gold metal with a surprise when on the road. so we coming up with joe ah, goodness, the government has imposed the curfew from saturday and $31.00 out of the $34.00 provinces. it's aimed at cutting the recent increase in fighting as the taliban makes rapid territorial gains beyond group has warned, there'll be no peace until a new government is installed. this week, the senior us generals of the taliban, that controls half of afghanistan's districts diplomat together to james bay's, has this update from cobble less serious concern about the situation from africa officials. they have a regular morning security meeting in cobble with senior cabinet ministers and senior generals. it's normally chad by the vice president, but it has now been chaired by president ashe, rough ghani. and immediately following that meeting,
4:14 pm
the interior ministry as issued an important announcement saying that in many parts of africa, stone, that is going to be a nighttime curfew put into place from 10 pm until 4 am, which is the time of 1st prayers the curfew will take place in 31 out of 34 provinces. so the majority of afghanistan, but it will not take place in 3 large population centers. they are called all the capital and the providence around it. 9 go ha, province to the east with a capital july alibi. and also in punch year, which is a province just to the north of cobble they for now will be exempt from this night time curfew. the reason for the curfew is not being given other than it's for security reasons, but it's been clear for many years that in contested parts of afghanistan, the government may control things during the day. but the taliban very much own the night fame. so that is the head of the international relations department at cardon
4:15 pm
university, joyce via skype from cobble get up with us on the program. what's your understanding of this announcement and how it affects the country? one of the basic reason from the government for the announcement is that the one to curve the according to most of the errors and the destruction coming late night. so this, this somehow got home. and with that also this will why. but i think the primary reason for because you is that the government now wants to keep an eye or risk being moved many from one region to another region like from canada and from 2 to way. also if you will also send a message to the large population in urban climate that the war has come to the
4:16 pm
door and those pigments office assign. ready him, in order to got many needs to wake up and contribute with any kind them be kind of an i'm a reason for this. announce the can also be trace of the economy. you see the situation now that largely urban one is done with a ton of buttons and one is done with the government. so that is also a fee that there will be a 3rd in the violence that now will be eat is also the holidays are over. so it is possible that the combine would be okay, what's in for free and kind into the 1st white overall, i can say that the government is consolidating its security forces and prepare ace . or if that's the case,
4:17 pm
it's just that how do you see the effect? all of you might say consolidating positions in the urban areas. when, when the fight itself is really going out of the fight itself, is actually going out into the country. and the government forces are seeking support from the americans by the air. is this the right strategy to use alongside the ongoing conversation? should recall it between government and taliban in places like doha? be the 3rd of the battle p b. we're not you because of the year to get back in that was related in the law ages are redrawn, they got many fight paid to forego women lit by you category. particularly the remote district where they were not
4:18 pm
able to provide logistical support on time. and they largely focused on keeping the population protected in the are venue in the urban. now that's one of the, of the immediate consequences of the withdrawal. and now we are in the 2nd stage when we have to take over all just trying to enter. and the government is not only consolidating to defend the urban because if, if the problem is call it, the government will have naga impact then this big on into the let me just come into a lot of the urban centers. don't actually facilitate the tribal leaders who are obviously in and around those urban centers. where did the tribal leaders in terms
4:19 pm
of fighting the taliban and having supported the government? come into this equation. are they talking to the taliban? are they taking orders from cobble, which way do they said? where do they sit on the fence? is on a waste particular region you're talking about you know, why this is a multi nation can be different. it needs to be living in a different time and have different orientation. and you might find some of them in rural blindness where the government largely was able to provide any services pro tommy by mike taylor taking that order from taliban. but that is a lot of kind of goes with the programming and the not only support the government, but she's in some of the area between the government and
4:20 pm
what we should see. what happens to the moment for him so that joining us from cobble, thank you for your time sir. you're welcome. now the u. s. government is giving us gun, his $1100000000.00 in emergency assistance to refugees and displaced people. it includes those affected by a recent increase in fighting as the taliban takes more territory because the biden has promised continued support to africa. meta, usher, ghani, and interpreters may also be able to move canada, who's the government is lodging, especially immigration process for those who helped coalition forces, other local staff and their families will be included in the program. now the dutch government has been accused of not doing enough to relocate and scan interpreters. he worked for its forces, thousands of afghans who help foreign forces and now at risk of attack by the taliban set bass and has more from the hague. this is the new base where making a new base the dutch government and making a new base c hoc worked for that forces in afghanistan from 2007 to 2009. he
4:21 pm
arrived with his family and an adult and last april, after a lengthy and complicated procedure that took 2 years, still, fearing for his life. he does not want his identity to be re field. well, i feel for the other people that are still stuck over there during my time when i was working for this process to get out of a plan is done and come to holland. it was still a little bit easier for me because the war was not that worse on the family that are stuck there are disconnected with each other so far. 94 interpreters who worked for dutch forces have been brought to the netherlands, but many are still enough. county stan, fearing for their lives now the taliban is closing in. in total, $273.00 interpreters worked for the dutch as part of a natal mission. man to bring peace and democracy to afghan. he's done. we know these people have targets on their head. so what i want to government to do is to make sure to have a list of the people who worked for them as long as they have valid travel document
4:22 pm
. give the visa, get them on the plane, and make sure they're safe. but the minister of defense, as the discovery of faith documents, forces them to thoroughly check their identities. do not all sound on what we're trying our utmost to speed up the process, but they will still be a check. and if this is not possible, will still need to make sure these people actually worked for us on july for such groups. left off, gone is done. lawmakers blamed a government for failing to evacuate the interpreter before that date. this, this belief among politicians here in the hague, that after years of fresh, the government has so far failed to fulfill its moral obligation to those who have the life of dutch troops. it is estimated thousands of people enough god knew how during the war, and i'm now in extreme danger and neat away. our former local staff or british forces recently held the protest in couple, urging the u. k. government to evacuate them shot. he worked as an interpreter for
4:23 pm
them, but because he was dismissed his application for resettlement was rejected. he says the same happened to dozens of others as the candidate because they government to help us ignore that donation because it would not see it. they would not look our definition. it will tell our researchers estimate that hundreds of former staff has already been killed by the taliban and tens of thousands are in danger. the nato, of course, always you know, came to of gone is done promising democracy, promising equality and also promising human rights. quite a few of the people that have interviewed wonder where their human rights are. the dutch government recognizes that time is running out to bring everyone to safety. but the minister won't say when all interpreters who work for them and who want out will arrive here, steadfast and al jazeera. the hake ah,
4:24 pm
female athletes are already breaking records that the tech carol and picks, and these games will see the highest of a percentage of women taking part and riches and reports in tokyo. the people might think them quite different. if the lighting, the olympic cold unit friday's opening ceremony, japanese tennis, thought the army or socket is fast, becoming the face of the tokyo olympics. and these games will set a new height. the female athletes 49 percent of all competitors or women. compare that to the tokyo games in 964. when the figure stood just 13 percent. it's a huge shop window, just promoting capabilities of women and gowns, which often course get, get hidden, terribly balanced representation of men and women in the media. generally on high school sense media coverage is, is a woman girls. when they more than

a lympics began in 1896, they found that he had a cubit. so made a pretty blunt assessments on the prospect of women taking part. he said it was impractical. uncouth in proper and uninteresting, but women did go on to take part at the 1900 games and barriers have been getting broken down ever since. 9 additional mixed gender events are only tokyo schedule. and big reason you sports, like sir, think sport climbing, and skateboarding have been included, is because of their appeal to both sexes. we'll get a new, a new audience. you know, they'll be a lot of maybe millions of people around the world that have never seen something before and they'll get to watch it for the 1st time and, and hopefully we put on the show and, and yeah, i'd love to say that i was able to win a gold medal in the 1st year that was in the olympics. the us women's football team haven't just one full olympic titles. leading players have used their profile to fight for equal pay and social justice. women who go through the experience of
4:26 pm
discrimination or some other already have life experience like mental health issue like feeling that the pressure is too much. they choose to speak out then, then they should be encouraged and supposed to do so and they should be listen to because these people speak from genuine and authentic experience. i want to fire the girls out there watching right now in the next 2 weeks. i 2nd and thousands of of the elite female athletes have the chance to do just that. and the richardson al jazeera tokyo galen's, as they retired, british olympic silver med list and badminton from the athens gains of 2004. she says philo representation has increased in the games, but there's still a lot of room for improvement. i think some people forget that for so many years may or representation has been way more than the female. so it's great that we just have that little minds up, but like you said, just come on golf. let's just keep this
4:27 pm
