so they do not cross into argentine territory from this home argent time authorities can monitor for what's happening in economic exclusive films. but what a 40 here are saying is, and what's important is to regulate what's happening in international waters. ah, the taliban stage, their 1st news conference promising women's rights media freedom and amnesty for government officials and evacuation lights resume at campbell airports a day after thousands of people tried to flee the taliban takeover ah. down to 0 life in london was coming up. sheltering on to make shift cover. now people in earthquake hit haiti facing flash floods brought on by

a tropical storm on the u. s. because the 1st water shortages, its largest artificial reservoir could made the worst drought of the century even more severe. ah, the taliban has vowed to respect women's rights. forgive those who fought against them and ensure afghanistan doesn't become a haven for other armed groups that made the promises in the 1st news conference since a stunning take over the countries capital and major cities. they've pledged inclusion education for women, religious tolerance, and media, freedom within the constraints of islamic law. taliban leaders also say amnesty will be offered to anyone who worked with a government or foreign forces. many afghans remain skeptical, and they have been ports of human rights abuses in other cities, captured by the taliban. the move on to the 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, i'm a camera to that kind of stand does not have any conflict with anybody. we want the fighting to end out there is charlotte bellis was at that news conference and asked the 1st question about human rights for women. children. it's funny and not what i hit these. i'm a camera to kind of stand is committed to the rights of women within the framework of shari'a. our women have the same rights. they can work in different sectors on the basis of our rules and regulations, and 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, me robert bride has letters from campbell. it was very significant. i mean, this really was almost like a key note having setting out the tone and the china for the, for the forthcoming taliban government. and i think what we were getting with what

the taliban wanted to, to get was the softer, more acceptable face of taliban rule. and a that we started with in quite a triumphal, it's way quite uncompromising, talking about the grand terms about the emancipation of the country after 20 years expelling the forward as, as it was put, talking about this being a proud moment. i think actually given a sudden collapse of the governments and the suddenness with which the taliban suddenly found themselves inheriting this country, i think they could be excused to crow. but very much this was been aimed, i think not only at the gun journalist and reassuring people here, but really beyond kind of stand the international community here work stream, the skeptical, even cynical about the taliban as an organization that with memories of what happened 20 years ago, with more recently the way it acted in negotiations,

for example, meant to have had negotiations directly with the government device rep gunny, which didn't happened, although the taliban says it's not their fault, they were acting in good faith. there is a lot of suspicion about the taliban and then more recently in conflict that we have seen the some of these really nasty, isolated incidents by and groups of taliban fighters allegedly involved in war crimes which international organizations, human rights groups said should be investigated. so it was really the international community which i think needed to be convinced. so in addition to these very important messages, which we were expecting about assurances on the rights of women about maintaining a healthy media media culture for example. although owe be within the framework or dictates of sharea, whatever that means and on who defines exactly what those are. so that's more problems for the future. ahead of a ton of and political office in katherine capital. doha is heading back to

afghanistan. we'll do that on a let the groups negotiations in peace talks with the u. s. and the african government. he departed after meeting catherine for minister on tuesday, talks between the taliban and former african officials will now be held domestically instead of indo huh. or significant part, so that's kind of on whether a ton of mine enjoy support from certain ethnic groups. the talk and border crossing with pakistan is one such place it has now reopened and there's no rush of people trying to flee as come on. harder explains the man border crouching red rain of ron at dawn and buckets on the door is now open for business truck, have been travelling and board direction. there were apprehension that as the talib honored wants across the country, tens of thousands of refugees read for across the board and to budget on. but the ground reality is ready. different people living floated up august on the border all the way from hillman province to noticed on up into not mostly pushed to tribe

. they have got radical dollar bonds. they have kinda dollar bond roland bought. and what we saw at this border crossing that instead of tens of thousands of on coming across the border, we saw hundreds of off ones eager to cross the border and go back to the country. most of the people that we spoke to a half are elated and uber learned read the fact that that's all a bond back in follow. they, on the other hand, do not agree with the international community. and they see a rail vote for a lodging of one settlement among norman picard. what we welcome to taliban. becky mack and his tongue as they are the true heroes of the country. and none of them can bring lasting peace to this water country, destroyed by many tumble among the shallow with the canister in ruins from the last 4 here. firstly, we were made homeless by russians and then the americans. but thank god,

finally we've got freedom from their invasions. we trust the taliban and hope they will bring peace, stability, and progress to this country. while the duration on the border was not returning back to normal, there was a frantic diplomatic effort. you're trying to port the leader on the same day, but red atalla bon, the former foreign minister of runners dance. allow the rub, bonnie: it didn't bug it's done along with you're not gonna need a head of the parliament and walk amongst that group here. present the minority community. what buckets on i'd be telling the dollar bond is that the b and the government, which includes all the ethnic group run. it's done, therefore to offer the rail vote for the 1st time and 2 decades. what a lot of people do the conflict, what the budget done is i've been saying that dollar bond did had to be an

inclusive government. that dollar bond volter and now and said that there will be no retribution, even for those people who been working with the american the white house is hell, a news conference on the nations developments in that kind of sunlight, canada is there. so mike said, what has the thing well, we've also heard from the defense department in the course of the day saying that the order has been restored to couple and port, saying to that within the next 24 hours, there will be some $6000.00 us soldiers deployed around to secure that airport. they also say that the lights are resuming the evacuation flights. they estimate that they will be able to evacuate some $5.00 to $9000.00 people each day. so very much back to program as far as the d. o. d is concerned. we also heard from the national security advisor who continued to defend the bite and administration's decision to go ahead with this withdrawal. and also defended the manner in which

the withdrawal has been conducted. making very clear and repeating president biden's position that the alternative to going ahead with this withdrawal was to get involved in an escalating civil war. in another country. he repeated president violence assertion that the taliban, we're going to take over at some stage. the us forces would once again be faced with hostile approaches. but at that mission to from the national security advisor that they were taken back and surprised by the rapid taliban advance opponents of president biden. and even some of his allies insisting that this constitutes a massive intelligence failure. and what about the us timeline for withdraw? has that changed? well, that was very interesting because it was stressed by the department of defense at

the pentagon. that the original date that is the end of this month, which was set by president biden earlier this year, is still the deadline for withdrawal of both civilians and us forces. so despite the chaos of recent days, it doesn't appear as though there's going to be a ramping up of that deadline. well, not officially. clearly, they are trying to get people out as quickly as possible. but in terms of the planning, in terms of the pentagon spending the deadline for total withdrawal of us forces and also us civilians is the end of this month. that is something that they say they sticking to. but that raises questions about another few weeks of securing that airport, the dangers inherent in that very clear indeed. my kind of thank you very much indeed. a tomatoes of a powerful earthquake in haiti and now having to cope with

a tropical storm. heavy rain lashed, makeshift shelters in the southern city of one of the worst areas. in 1400 people are known to have died and saturdays quake, thousands more were left homeless. many say they're still waiting for aid from the government to arrive. i've got a problem, ma'am. i have my guy, but it's not good here. my home was destroyed. i have nothing my home yesterday, they distributed aid, but i wasn't able to get anything. it rained last night. we couldn't sleep, we have nothing to eat. or put a john home in is at the airport in porter prince. you can see the helicopters of the us post office. hi me. and that's how we help seems to be getting to be effective region in south with take the right now by air. and that because the road, especially the roads going out for a friend to that region, the only one is the battle ground at the moment when gang really half the supplies

this failure, ask and leadership lead to the tragedy we are witnessing today. return the taliban rule signals. an ignominious end to nato's 20 emission enough kind of stone. for the last european members which threatens a repeat of the refugee and flux, shook the e u countries in 2015. turn our report among nato allies in europe. there is a feeling of deja vu. the looming threat of an afghan exodus recalls the influx of more than a 1000000 refugees in 2015 most fleeing war in serious, many, even then from afghanistan, it was a movement of people that reverberated politically strengthening right wing support across the continent. the direst consequence of the taliban takeover of afghanistan for europe now, with the repeat, the distributed has shown that have given you stories, again, destabilization of afghanistan research causing irregular migration to europe.

france, as i've said, has and will continue to do its duty for those who are most threatened. but afghans in times to come, will need to muster their strength, and europe cannot shoulder the consequences alone. cause for humanitarian corridors and a coordinated european response by the likes of emmanuel micron and the outgoing german chancellor angle merkel. likely to meet resistance from some countries. greece has warned against, again becoming the gateway to europe. austria plans to continue deporting, failed asylum seekers. back to afghanistan. e u. foreign ministers meeting to discuss the crisis and nowhere near consensus. second, we have to issue a new political situation created by the return or the tele, lance does not lead to a larger scale. migratory movement over much will depend on the willingness of transit countries like turkey to contain the flow as it eventually did in 2016.

after a deal that cost the e u $3.00 and a half $1000000000.00, whether afghans, state or flee in far greater numbers will depend on the taliban. and i would like to ask the woman, please don't recognize him or let me fall a bond without any congregation and who doesn't give. thank you, rachel. thank you very much. says precious little. any one else can do. it was extremely difficult to make the decision to end the nato mentor presence in afghanistan. and it was difficult because i share your pain. nato's 20 emission enough galveston has ended in failure. european alliance members can do little more now than watch and wait for what comes next. jonah, how al jazeera, the 1st time, the u. s. is declared a water shortage at its largest reservoir, triggering mandatory cuts to some western states. lake made on the colorado river.

40000000 people farmers in arizona expected to see the biggest drop in supply region is struggling with a drought and record high temperatures. wellborn is at the hoover dam in nevada with more. what is the situation like that? well, lauren, this is the most dramatic evidence. so far that we've seen of the impact that the climate change and more than 20 years of severe drought has had on the western united states behind me, you can see hoover damn. it was built in the 19 thirty's, an incredible piece of construction and engineering. and behind it, the water you can see lake mead. this, as you mentioned, is the largest reservoir in the united states. but look at that light strip of, of the light colored strip, kind of like a bath tub ring above the water. that's how far down the water has fallen from its

maximum. its now at 35 percent capacity lake medias. and as you mentioned, this is a lake that is vital to cities from los angeles to phoenix, arizona, to san san diego. and of course, las vegas, which is not very far from here, millions and tens of millions of people who rely upon the water from the colorado river. the colorado river basin is stressed in scientists from the u. s. department of interior say this says this past 16 years has been the dry s, period along the colorado river basin in the past 1200 years and a hydrologist and tying to say the trends are pointing towards this continuing. and the water continuing to shrink here in the desert. so you thought about the

situation where you are, what about across the region? tell us more about that. yeah, indeed. very severe is impact all across the region. for example, the 2nd largest reservoir in california, lake oroville behind a huge damn. the level there has fallen so far down that they can no longer run water through the turbines to generally generate electricity. the effects from this water club will be felt not so much in the cities, which will still receive drinking water, but it will be hard for farmers, particularly in places like arizona, which despite being in the desert, grows a lot of cotton and alfalfa water intensive crops like that, and hydrox just say that again,

that the trends are moving in the wrong direction. there's less snow fall in the winter time in the mountains, and that means there's less water to melt to feed the streams, rivers and lakes. and the, the, as the trends continue, there will have to be some serious reckoning done about how water is used in the american west and how the patterns of growth and, and economic exploitation are, are going to continue. lauren rental, thank you very much. indeed. firefighters battling to contain fast spurting wildfire in the southern french tourist. fusion of our thousands of people have been evacuated from the areas. the fire broke out on monday official sate spread through about 50 square kilometers of forest water dumping planes and helicopters have been used to try down the flames. strong winds, hampering efforts to put out forest fires in the central spanish province of villa
