of a 5 part series, highly re questions the neutrality of digital deductions. trust me, i'm an algorithm on a jessina. oh, be the hero. world needs right. ah washer. in the news the fell down holds its 1st press conference, promising women's rights speaking of freedom. and i'm the fee for government officials, but human rights concerns all being res. consolidate said, hold on power. ah, i'm out of my, this is al jazeera, my from doha. also coming up, make sure shelters are shattered. people in earthquake had hate to you know,

facing flash floods both owned by a tropical storm and fuel shortages and 11 and left many going hungry and hospitals in critical condition. ah, ah, but taliban has held its 1st press conference since taking control of afghan sun. it has been keen to show when you face to the world pledging inclusion and education for women and religious tolerance. the group insists it was from the state to any one who works with the governments or foreign forces, but reports of their ruined cities captured during their advance of raised fears about their promises. the move on to hum, put up a city we have pardoned anyone, all those who had fought against us. we don't want to repeat of war. we want to do away with the factors of conflict. so these nomic, emerett of africa stand does not have any conflict with anybody. we want the

fighting to end. it's money, amount of money. i hid that these nomic emerett of afghanistan is committed to the rights of women within the framework of shari'a. are even have the same rights. they can work in different sectors on the basis of our rules and regulations in education and health and other areas where they are going to be work and shoulder to shoulder with us. what we want to assure the international community. there will be no discrimination against women, but of course, within our religious framework. well let's go with a couple now under correspondent rob mcbride's role, but that was an interesting price conference given indication of certainly had the taliban is wanting to reassure women, but also reassure afghans who are trying to flee the country. that's right. i think this is how it wants to be perceived. i think we got the kind of news conference that we were promised that we expected. this is the taliban, i think tried to show a soft aside to to the world. i thought it began not to be quite an uncompromising

. probably i'm foolish. no talking about the emancipation of the country after 20 years expelling the foreigners, a proud moment for the whole country. but then when you look at the speed with which all of this has taken place, the collapse of the previous government and suddenly taliban finding itself inheriting power in the way it has. i think it can be excused for crowing just just a little bit. alternately, i think this was, as well as being a reassuring afghanistan and aimed at africa journalists. i think this is really aimed over the overseas community asking for foreign journalists to pose that question. so this was very much trying to trying to persuade what is a very skeptical, cynical, if you like, international community because of the history of the taliban and its relationship with afghanistan. what happened 20 years ago? memories of all that,

but also in more recent times about the negotiation suspicions that it didn't keep its word and it was meant to have the go see ations with us ref, connie's government, although obviously they would deny that. and then, more recently, in the conflict that we've seen around the country, allegations, possibly of war crimes, allegations that and various bodies, international bodies, human rights groups say, should be investigated. so i think that work with the objective this was really to convince the international community that's what they set out to do. so in addition to those things that we were expecting, some of the staples such as women's rights such as a free media, which they say will be addressed, they will grant those things. although obviously, with the caveat that it has to be according to the values of sherry and according to its dictates, and obviously there's going to be problems about what those dictates are and who defines those things that the press conference spoke about. afghanistan not being

used for the training of foreign fighters that would threaten the international community, especially the west. and that's something that the international community really wanted to hear that goes to the very relationship, the essence of what happened 20 years ago. and the reason for the intervention for the confrontations to begin with, but then also these reassurances for people who may be linked to foreign armies to nato, to the united states. the people who are just a couple of kilometer in that direction and have been for the past couple of days clamoring to get onto aircraft. and in fact, as we were listening to this news conference, and as we just came all day just now again, we hear more gunshots in that direction as the taliban gods on the terminal. trying to keep people back from. i get once more storming into that terminal looking for flight to get out. well again, the message was, you have nothing to fear that will not be any recriminations. go home, the reason for you to flee the country, they will not be a knock on the door. that will not be any interrogations. i think,

given the mistrust the animosity that exists here, that is an awful lot of people who are still very worried and will still take a lot of convincing. i just finally one last guy and you don't have what i thought was a start really notes and according to my judge, dean a he had that this message. let's have more of these news conferences. again. it's this trying to be portraying the taliban once more as a new type of taliban opened full of government. okay, prob mcbride, bring in the very latest form. carbo will. thank you. well, the head of the taliban political office in cutters. capital doha is heading back to afghanistan. miller, of doing connie, but other lead the good negotiations and peace tolts with the us and the afghan government. the departed after meeting with cutters. foreign minister, earlier today,

or hash met mostly is an independence afghan analyst. he's interviewed to taliban and come to the group extensively. he says that taliban has one support among some minorities who are frustrated by the governments in action. the advice of atalla was surprising to the world to the american government. and i believe that even it was surprising to talk about themselves. the main reason i believe the taller bond managed to capture most of i'm going to say so fast so quickly was that there was a seismic shift in the opinion of the other minorities towards the thought of on mainly due to the government, corruption in action. busy the government had all successive governments, you're not going to sell for about 20 years under the wing of america. did not perform well that did not. busy meet the promises that they gave to people of denison. if you look at the thought on success,

it began in northern part of hopkinson, which is absolutely amazing. it is amazing because 1st of all about emerged in the $994.00. they emerged in the heartland of the question in the southern part of going to some that was the hotline. that was the are based on from did they move on to the north and east and west. and they had a very, pretty tough to fight to capture the northern part of going to the late ninety's. however, this time around apollo managed to capture the north faster than anyone could expect. and that's because the population in the north, the projects that was mixed on the has on what fed up with the corrupt leaders and the broken promises. and they shifted towards the polar ball her can pakistan have agreed to work together to help bring stability to afghanistan. turkey has already taken measures to prevent an influx of margaret's along 3. ron, including this fall on the border. foreign minister said the turkish government, welcome repulsive message is given by the taliban,

and has proposed to meet with the arms groups leaders for talks. they use forum. foreign affairs chief says the block has to work together to avoid another refugee crisis. after the town can take over the you earlier, cold for humanitarian colors or see, avoid the risk of refugees attempting dangerous journey's issue. refugee, the settlement long been a divisive issue between european leaders, risa fat. it can also again become the entry point for millions of refugees crossing the mediterranean has to issue a new depot situation created in africa. understand by the return architect. events does not lead to our lives, the scale migrate to the movement over and we need to coordinate between the to be a union member, the state, and they can place it will be how you know agenda and we will have to support

it. time sheets and neighbors. countries have shown a hall reports now from london for the moment. of course, the focus is on getting foreign nationals out about going to stand along with africa and support staff. some countries in europe are going further. the germans are adding human rights activists, lawyers, other people deem to be at risk from the taliban to their list of evacuees. the british government is later due to announce details of an emergency resettlement scheme for those most in need focused a thought on women and girls in afghanistan. but not all countries are going to be quite so willing and eager to help. the greeks have already said this morning, they are not willing again to be a gateway country for refugees, making their way from turkey across the water water into europe. austria, for instance, as we speak is still continuing with deportation plans for failed afghan asylum seekers. back to afghanistan as a means of deterrence for new arrivals and doing so with the support of 90 percent

of the austrian public. so it's all very well for people like the french president, the manual macaroni to stand up as he did on monday, and call for a joined up european approach to ensure the safe passage of people coming if they want to come. but this is an incredibly thorny issue in europe. it's led to the downfall of governments in recent years. it's spawn right wing movements in almost every country. governments, i think, will certainly be on their god, if not all of them actively preparing to accommodate what may soon, becoming their way. almost awful been the solids in kabul is that she feels operations and emergencies that unicef and afghanistan. he says the agency has had major concerns for women and children, but if cautiously optimistic after finding an agreements with the taliban still have more than half a 1000000 again that are being bush on the road. and there are top of them are

children with concern because the drought is still affecting the country and a 1000000 are in need of top of them are really concerned because the conflict claim life of 550 children since the beginning of the year is the highest number that we record since we started recording, the number of children killed. because the conflict previously, even for us going into the rural and remote area of again, it was challenging because access to be negotiated on both sides, back in december to find a working agreement with oregon to extend community based education in the hard to each area remote area and focusing on your education that agreement signed with the same thought of going out today in, in capital. we've had most of the contacts with them,

the list of them where today and john about and come out with the printed. and you commissioner for those area so far we received reassurance. transits from them that will be able to review my work and access should be provided. you receive guarantee that schools will be reopening and today and our primary and secondary school are open. we'll go ahead our community bid occasion, and this is from the out of the way to symbol that are operating today, 1500 children and then they go schools and out of them 500 or girls. so we are conscious that we will be able to carry, you know, work, and hopefully to expand it. so ahead here on how to verify carol a state in india still start can a ways of call the 19 infections that hit the rest of the country month ago. and

europe feel for hate climate change from france to greece. we'll have the latest on the ground. ah hello, good to see you. hot check, sunny check and high temperatures check. that's what we've got going on across the middle east. but we also have a shamal blowing down from a rock impacting q 8. and also the country of cats are on wednesday, but this is a dry wind. so that lowers your humidity. think the higher the humidity, the more saturated the air is and the more uncomfortable it is for you and i star humidity, 70 percent heat index, $51.00, but the winds will shift around on friday. that's an e swing coming off the golf. sorry, heat index will dial it up to 54, you know, around the arabian sea. we have an on sure of flow here. so that's going to swirl

up descending. does for huge swats of mine on wednesday, for pockets done largely finding dry here, and that's allowing the hot sunshine to come through. the hor, me even hit 40 degrees on wednesday off to turkey, and it's looking dry here. thankfully, which will allow a for the recovery efforts that we have going on through the black sea region, just a few scattered showers at ward, that ne, portion, tropics of africa. heavy rain has been falling through the central african republic and we will see some more strong storms for bungie on wednesday and further toward the south. what and wendy for cape town season. the if you are looking at this from the outside, you would really wonder what was going on, what, what is this is a religion that they have an in depth exploration of global capitalism on our obsession with economic growth. this is still the center of capitalism. there is no

limits. i view myself as a capital artist we are trying to bake as well as smaller and smaller. we don't want to be so realistic in the world. we would rather have a fantasy growing pains on al jazeera. oh, i think i'll just have a quick reminder all the top stories for you know the taliban is held at 1st press conference and taking power. it's promising amnesty to governments officials women's rights and media freedom group and 5th. that will not feel like groups like i saw the operates the news. foreign affairs chief says the counts to work together

to avoid another refugee crisis after the taliban take over the issue of refugee. the settlement has long been as divisive issue between the european leaders, turkey and pakistan have agreed to work together to help bring stability to ask on this on. turkey has already built a wall on the board with the wrong to prevent an influx of migrants and refugees. well, lebanon's fuel shortage is endangering patients as hospitals struggle to cope. businesses have been forced to scale back or shut down the country go through its worst economic crisis in recent years. say no harder has more from bay roots. there is bread only when there is fuel. a resource that is now scarce. lebanon's economic crisis is getting worse. the state barely provides electricity. many bakeries that can't afford the rising costs to power. generators have had to

close local, but they've been seeing them as there is no bread. few diesel electricity, no madison, but the official 2 are fighting for their interests. live in homes that are lead their generators are working. they have humiliated to people a lack of fuel when there are difficulties pumping water and distributing it. every aspect of life is affected by what is being described as living words, financial and political crisis. but there is no work in the country. you work one day and sell couple of things that as other days we sell nothing and nearly bankrupt state. it's failing to secure people's basic needs. there isn't enough imported fuel and a corrupt system is blamed for allowing what is available to be smuggled across the border into syria. even hospital rely on generators. a few days ago,

they almost ran out of fuel further stretching the little medicine and resources they have. patients' lives are at risk. if machines stop working. to make sure that we have identified 3300 critical items that are critical for life saving and 25 percent out of stock and the country. and we cannot find any of those items in the country. we cannot to the people without energy. we cannot 3 people if we don't give them the right medication. what is happening now is totally unacceptable and unbelievable. businesses in factories have also been affected. luffy got about. sometimes there's no diesels or private generators, so we can't work. and when the diesel, we only get 3 hours of electricity today with the united nation says at least 78 percent of the $6000000.00 people are now poor. the economy has all but collapse. so have basic services,

yet politicians continue to struggle for power 11 on has been without a function in government for more than a year. oh, there is pressure to address the financial collapse. people have started to attack officials, homes, incidents of violence are becoming more common. as lebanon's tragedy continues to unfold. the fear is worsening conditions could lead to a security breakdown that there was ita balte. well, let's bring in. hi coven. and he's the lebanon project director at the international crisis group and joined us by skype from, but through the, in lebanon, a great south, you, with me assuring to see that appears you half electricity, right? something that many in the country have not most in the country as a luxury, they don't enjoy right now. so to suffer just explaining to people who are not familiar with what's going on and lebanon, white, ne, how did they get this bad? well, i mean, to me, as xena said,

the state is nearly bankrupt. and so essentially the country has lived for years and years way over what it can afford. and it has done that by attracting money from abroad and for the interest rates that had to go higher and higher. and as we all know, these kind of sit ups when you pay old credit, sold credit, us with new money. at some point the music has stopped and it stopped 2 years ago. the money was gone, and since then, the political leadership has been unable to get oh, we appear to have that skype piece of polls. those keep trying that connection there again with high co vivian. we got the old view there for high call. unfortunately. oh, it looks like his back again. hi. could, can you hear me?

i can hear you and this is just the reality. i mean, obviously we have to, yeah, we have to bear in mind, there is a, this is just the reality of what is happening in lebanon by night. the electricity supply is so patchy, it's difficult to maintain even a basic skype connection. right now. let's try and check in with high call volume, and again, soon to get the background of what's happening in lebanon. but for now, we're going to move on to other news and heavy rains are lashing parts of hating as a tropical storm. bears down on the islands. there are reports of floating in some areas that have already been hit by saturdays, devastating earthquake. more than 1400 people have died. rescue teams are searching for survivors. john holman, isn't portal prince and has this report. haiti is still reeling from subsidies earthquake every day. more bodies have found and the death toll continues to rise.
