cover all of latin america for most of my career, but no country is alike, and it's my job to shed light on how and why we understand the differences in the cultures, the cost of what moves with the news and kind of that master to you. i hope that will come under attack and i've got this done as fighting between the taliban and government forces intensified ah, the horizon and you're watching. i was is there like my headquarters here in the hall coming up in the next 30 minutes? you concession, but a longer time line. most military promises multiparty election, 6 months after seizing power and cracking down on the opposition. today,

i stayed on behalf of the new zealand government to offer a formal and unreserved apology. and breaking the silence. new zealand prime minister says, sorry, for race that's raise from pacific islanders half a century ago. also, indonesia, the last generation social work has struggled to find foster care. but children opened by the pandemic whose mm. welcome to the peg over again. and i've got this done with government forces of fighting against taliban assaults on major cities rocket. so struck kandahar airport in the south. all flights in and out of the city a cancelled the taliban offensive in that form a stronghold is going on as it also lost her guard. the besieged capital of helmand province there as gun f also has also been blamed for a homing of

a hospital killing at least one person. the owner says the facility was targeted because the military, wrongly believe that taliban fighters were being treated. that was what i did, so some of my hospital was bombarded, but they were no telephone in the hospital. they were only 6 staff members and i with pharmacists and nurses, and our 2 nurses were wounded patients, caretaker was martin, and another patients kid take that was wounded title. in the heart of germany, we request from both sides not to destroy any public property that can affect people in the future of as get this done by the government and taliban should be careful. the taliban should not use those places and the government should not bomb bob. those places fell further in the west of the country. the taliban, advancing fast and head off, which has a border with iran. film group took control of the road to the airport and flight. the city will hold it on wednesday. that's bringing correspondent, charlotte, dallas. he's lying for us in the capitol cobble. charlotte. the fighting does continue, as we've reported, and several cities are under pressure. certainly overnight. what we know about the

situation so far? yeah, this, the 3 cities that you mentioned facing the most parisha and we can ha, city is the 2nd biggest city in afghanistan. and herat is the 3rd, or it is incredibly significant. president ghani has just spoken in a cabinet meeting where he said that he expects the security situation to change within the next 6 months. he said that we are really focusing on securing cities. and he also said that he doesn't think that the taliban interested in picks a prior to that to be spokes person from national security forces held a press conference that was taken by local networks. he looked really reassure people as, as this telephone, a face to kind of narrows down and focuses on the city where he said, we're actually not conducting some operations to avoid civilian casualties. he said we're sending special forces to hotspots in particular. he spoke specifically about mesh cargo, which was capital of hellman province where he said we are trying incredibly hard

to get that back and we will have commanders in that city to hold it once it is clear, but fighting is ongoing bit and it is incredibly tame. local forces, i've just told us that i expect all communication to the city to be cut off within the next 30 minutes. that's really started in earnest. yesterday we started to see videos coming out on social media fires burning in the city. the residents told us the telephone in the city and we talking fighting street to streets, which is incredibly difficult for africa, military to counteract and also very dangerous for civilians. it strikes have been ongoing from the african military, but also usa strikes around lash the people they're staying inside. the house is very nervous and about to be cut off from all communication as to what is actually going on. and they said he and then as you said, these 2 other cities tend to have to be in herat both both surrounded by the taliban. and both of the airport had been cut all 4 flights,

canceled because of rockets and my thing on the roads to get to those the airports and it's, it's, i've got a situation wasn't grave enough. the elements seem to be hitting the country to yeah, there was heavy rain here 4 days ago in the east of the country and the province of nurse for a lot of flooding with one district in particular who can dish at the time. we knew that there was flooding beer, but because it's remote is about 200 kilometers from cargo. very difficult to access. it's helped by the taliban. normally in the last day have we started get an accurate idea of how bad this really was. $113.00 people killed $110.00, missing african rate crazy. just in the trying to help the you win is trying to access to help was said, temporary shelves is food getting clean, drinking water in there, but it's helped by the taliban. so they have to negotiate access to that. and this, this is quite interesting because the taliban is getting more control of these

rural areas. this is real test for beam as if they're going to govern more of this kind of territory. how are they going to help the villages and these types of situations? charlotte, but as far as they are in cobble, thank you for the update. now, miles, military leader has promised multi party election 6 months after he sees power from the democratically elected government events on su, cim mean on lay made the announcements. in a televised stress, the army took charge in february, disputing november's election one by sue chief party. more than 930 people have been killed and thousands more arrested during the crick. 20 chang is monitoring and 11 from neighboring bank. exactly 6 months since the military sees power from the democratically elected government of anton sued. she. a lot has happened in that time. i think there was perhaps a perception from the military that this would be a clean and relatively bloodless queue. it has been exactly the opposite, very from the,

from the very onset. there have been strong objections on the streets, from the people all across the country, and the military have cranked down with a brute force that left just under a 1000 people that in the last 6 months. we've also seen that the splintering of much of the most society and basic infrastructure with a lot of people joining out to a civil disobedience movement which has rendered things like banking systems, health care systems, transport systems, completely ineffective. and that's particularly important now, particularly with health care as covert 19th, 4th wave has just swept across mamma. i think that's put a lot of pressure on the military to be seen to be doing something. but this is not the 1st time gentlemen online has made the statements to he always said that there would be elections at some stage initially in february said they would take place in 6 months, then they push that back to a year. but i think the important thing to remember here is also what you just heard him say that the emergency state of emergency would last until august 2023.

well, that's another 2 years. and the power the military have granted themselves have allowed them to to, to make illegal the national league for democracy, uncensored cheese party, and to know reelections of november last year. the n l t one and learn landslide. so if there are elections, take place under those conditions, they're really not going to be seen by anybody, is free offer. well escaping report by human rights watch outlines how many miles military has been committing atrocities, pieces that could amount to crimes against humanity. well, the right group is calling for targeted sanctions. so let's talk to many mon, the asia research of human rights watch. join me now from sidney via scott. good talk with us on the program for 6 months now. news agencies, tv, tv programs like out there as news programs have been dealing with and reporting on how wide spread the crack down is the pictures we sometimes think speak for themselves. but what does your research tell you about the crackdown?

thanks to hell. i mean exactly. in the last 6 months human rights watch has determined that crimes against humanity has been committed against the civilian population by the military. and as you said, the pictures speak for themselves, but actually these widespread, correct, and i'm not, you know, individual military soldiers taking at whatever they want and conducting the correct as they feel we've seen widespread credit towns all over the country on many days where they've been multiple violent crackdowns in cities and towns and villages that appear coordinated and systematic. you know, essentially we've seen the constant attack on the civilian population that warrants investigation. you know, we talk about the civilian population in sort of a wide brush strike. but what has been quite evident over the 6 months is that as

soon as particular groups who are either supportive or start to help those protesting, actually you might say, come to the attention of the authorities. they to a targeted and i'm quite worryingly medical staff. that's right, and especially now, but we have such a devastating wave of code that on our hand, just on the 3 percent of the 54000000 population is vaccinated and many of them can't get access. now, because what we're seeing is a total collapse in the health care system. if medical doctors are being targeted for treating injured people, then how can they care for the sick and dying? it's something that is pushing man more towards a pariah state. i mean, some would argue that we're already there, but certainly the health care system has collect, brought adams, who's the age director for human rights watch, says my quote, these attacks. so the population amount to crimes against humanity for which those responsible should be brought to account. how will or can this be achieved?

while it's been 6 months now and you know, we can't say that governments haven't done anything, but what we need to see is more enhanced targeted sanctions that a unified and coordinated. and that means cutting off things like military access to revenue flow. so cutting things like the access to money that comes out of extractive industries, especially the gas revenues. on top of that, we want to see the un security council take more action and this means passing a resolution of its own to support what the un general assembly has declared possible, which is an arms and bugger on men. ma, we want to see stave being prevented from selling any more weapons or julius goods that the military they can use on its own population. many mon, from human rights watch. joining me from sidney. thank you very much for your time . me

ah, by the way, racially motivated because police basically targeted pacific islander deportation while ignoring people from other countries. it had a lasting impact on museums, pacific island communities. today, i stand on behalf of the new zealand government to offer a formal and unreserved apology to pacific communities for the discriminatory implementation of the immigration laws of the 19th stephen teeth that lead to be a being of the dawn rides from walton his way. me on any cool winter's night, unusual in the main city. a taste of more tropical pacific islands can easily be found. oakland is the world's largest polynesian city. with indigenous mouldy, joined by generations of migrants from countries like some more. fiji and tongue up

. but the vibrancy color and contribution of polynesians haven't always been welcomed. here we were the people that were responsible for the disintegration of, of the economy. and the new zealand dream, the painters were vigilante group sit up in the 1900 seventy's to defend the rights of moldy and pacific islanders, and to change the racist views held by many white new zealanders. we can educate them, they're not new to our way of life. let's keep stuff. one result of that sentiment was an immigration crackdown targeting pacific islanders who had been brought here because of labor shortages. the often violent dawn rage, which the government has now apologizing for. so police searching homes, businesses and even churches looking for over stairs to deport the sense of injustice is still felt to day, mainly because it was only pacific islanders who were targeted, not the majority of overstate who were at the time from the united states or europe

a formal government apology for past injustices is rare in new zealand. it has to meet strict criteria, including the victims being definable as a distinct group that continues to suffer hom, connected to those historic events today. many of those affected feel a sense of shame about what happened and reluctant to talk about it, even to their families. you would have just felt like you were trampled on in some way emotionally, spiritually, many, many ways. and i think that has been answered generational. the polynesian pent is welcome the apology, which have been campaigning for for decades, and they hope it will help people of the pacific islands move on the alastair and proud because of who we are and achieve that very, very basic and simple goals for why we even came to this country so we want they also hope saying sorry will help build trust between the island

communities and the government and into a future generations feel secure in new zealand. even if the apology has taken nearly 50 years. wayne, hey, al jazeera auckland's, well 6 people have had their accreditations revoked at the take care lympics. the organizing committee chief says they violated rules imposed to curb the crone virus pandemic becomes just the head of the much anticipated 100 meter mens finals. she has 100, it's, you know, you need about the incident of the olympic village on the night of july 31st multiple athletes and delegation members were at the park within that village and they were drinking alcohol. we are aware of this fact currently we are investigating the situation and based on the results we will take appropriate action. and you can follow the stories that we're covering by logging onto our website. knowledge. is there a dot com updated 24 hours today? ah.
