rock by allegations of corruption, seemingly linked to the upper echelons of the country's political in the aim of our ruling class, was to get the 1st 3 repeal money to europe in front of people in power investigation where the country goes from use guerria at the crossroads on a me i this is al jazeera ah hello, i'm need parker. this is the, i'll just use a live from london coming up. sure, i've gone, he takes to facebook to address. i've got to start from exile in the u. e. he says he left to prevent bloodshed plus i'm charlotte,

felice and emergency hospital and cobble adults is treating patients who were shot at cobble international airport. anger and frustration in haiti, a tropical storm compounds, the problems with survivors of a devastating earthquake. and i'm devin ashwin sports. we will be seeing dominic team i left the u. s. hyphen trophy for a 2nd time. next month. the defending champion has withdrawn from the ground from tournament with a risk injury that keeps him out for the rest of the season. ah, i've got a son's former president has defended his decision to leave the country during the taliban takeover of the capital. kabul gaudy. speaking from the united arab emirates, as he left to prevent bloodshed and denied remiss that he fled with suitcases full of cash. the u. e says, gone, he has been taken in along with his family on humanitarian grounds,

much human devotion. we should include if i stayed, i would have witness bloodshed and couple, couple should not be turned into another yemen or syria over power struggles. so i was forced to leave i left with just a waste coat and some clothes. the personality assassination against me has been ongoing, saying i have taken money with me. the accusations are faithless lies. but you can even ask customs officials, they are based for lynn. i've got a son and just a day after the taliban reassured the world that people will be safe under its rule is fighters have reportedly open file and protested. the 3 people sent to have been killed at a demonstration against the group to take over the eastern city of july. about people were marching in the streets chanting and carrying the flag. video of the event later show taliban fighters firing in the air and hitting protests with sticks. the gunfire has also been

heard during process and the eastern city of coast have been no immediate report of injury. demonstrates us raised the african national flag over a road in the city taliban fighters with n seen chasing crowds away. may marley coble airport, us lead troops fight into the to disperse people who have been trying to leave the country. taliban soldiers also fired into the as a control the crowd, but an official says they have no intention to injure anyone. in the immediate aftermath of the taliban takeover there was a surge of injuries and hospital admissions in cobble. some of the patients came from the airport where they were short trying desperately to get on flight out of the country. so i'll bet, let's visit to the hospital in the capital where patients are being treated this 10 year old from a scanner stanz eastern province of talk to you was shot on saturday. it took his

family hours to reach emergency hospital and central cobble. my been, he was in bad shape. this is the 1st intensive care unit in afghanistan, doctor say they witnessed a surgeon patients after the telephone took over cobble on sunday. they said most were the victims of armed clashes, criminals and chaos at the airport. politic situation that unfortunately causes many, many of the people by bullets by phone. so today's the hospital was slowing. they added extra beds. all admissions were from gunshot wounds. the hospital says it has received about 20 patients from cobble international airport since monday for have died and the rest of being treated for gunshot wounds after the taliban and us forces tried to disperse, crowns that breach the perimeter. be to see if the patient from around bug off they

are going to spend most of most of them the ability to do it through the chest and hate this hospital. it's run by emergency in g o, an international humanitarian organization with the taliban in charge. they say the operations have continued on uninterrupted. they say the minister of health has remain the same. and fighters have introduced themselves. i also say so far out of 20 yesterday, we are in the country. we always, we able to walk and everybody respect off. nobody for the last few. that was not just the big division. lou brahman is 12 years old when the telephone took over his province of host on sunday. he ran out to meet them. he was hit by a government water and now the child died and he is now paralyzed. we have 18 or 19 years of war and in the last 10 minutes he was injured. at least

he is alive and he will be okay. i can suffer and tolerate this if there is peace. that is after the war may be over. in afghanistan, the healing will take a long time. charlotte bellis, osha. 0. cobble. the secretary of defense says american troops don't have the capacity to extend beyond the cobble apple perimeter in order to get more people out of afghanistan. really working hard to get as many people through as possible. and quite frankly, we're not, we're, it's obvious. we're not close to where we want to be in terms of getting the numbers through. so we're going to work that 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and we're going to get everyone that we can possibly evaluate evacuated. and i'll do that as long as we possibly can until the clock runs out, or we run out of capability. let's bring in tip them out together to james base, who joins us now from the united nations in new york. james,

solely with us. rough ghani, of course, speaking in exile in the united arab emirates, no message to the people over going to stop me. amount of appears to be on the, on the back foot justifying why i left the country. this was only deeper than the african people sense of abandonment. surely. yeah, i think so. i think people are very angry with us, rough connie, he said he left to avoid a blood bath like syria or yemen, but gave no idea of what would happen in the future. and i don't think he really feels he has a place in afghanistan future. what he also was trying to do was trying to refute some of the allegations that be made against him by some african officials and by russian embassy officials in cobble. they say that when he left, he had 4 cars full of dollars. and they tried to put all the money in a helicopter and couldn't fit it all, all in the helicopter. and the, in some needed to be left on the tarmac. we allegation is to the left the country with $169000000.00 of cash. he of course denies that,

but some of those around him do not agree. in the final days before he fled, he was seen in the final hours. in fact, on a hill top overlooking cobble with his defense minister, fisma la. com. well, miss miller con, has now been on social media and says, those trading and selling out the motherland should be punished and arrested. and then he added the hash tag, interpol arrest ghani even gone. he's vice president of a former vice president umbrella solar says he's now that a gentleman, president of afghanistan. we believe he's still an african soil. we believe he's in punch share, which is a small province one of the few places that the taliban have not got total control of. and there are some in punch here, including umbrella solar, including the son of alma sharma, masood ahmed masoud, who say they're now going to start a gorilla campaign. but they've only got a tiny little bit of territory. but talking specifically about taliban control and thinking of course about cobble apple. what continuing role do you think you and

countries play in afghanistan? that will of course be a point where control of the airport comes to the end. and another crisis unfold. i think that's one of the biggest problems facing the humanitarian community right now is what happens if that lifeline that is cobble airport. now right now it is a lifeline for those leaving the country for evacuation flights. but normally, it's how great deal of the aid is distributed around the country by the united nations, by agencies. and the airport is only operating right now because of the u. s. military or operation. that airport. there's going to come a point in the coming days where the u. s. and all their allies are not going to be there anymore. they're going to leave. and how are they going to operate a big airport like that? it's a somewhat dangerous place to land because there are mountains all around it. the u . n certainly can play a role,

but most un experts i've spoken to. so the you and probably couldn't do this on their own. that have been talk that maybe turkey could come in to run the airport the taliban, certainly a few weeks ago said they were opposed to that idea. certainly the us is going to need to step up. i think even though the u. n. is evacuating some of its personnel . we understand that about a 100 us international staff will soon be working from kazakhstan from a remote site there. but i think in the longer term, the u. n. may well have to scale up its humanitarian operations in afghanistan. and some are also saying the us needs to play a big diplomatic role as the only real player that can properly negotiate with the taliban. and try and persuade it to live up to its commitments with regard to things like women's rights, and also coming up with a more inclusive government. james base the un new york, thank you. of kind of suns. neighbors are closely watching developments. russia has

begun among long joint military exercise, which the cheek has done. they the afghan border about a 1000 soldiers have been using tanks, artillery and helicopters. russia has promised military assistance to ex soviet nations in central asia if they face attacks by on group. so i've kind of done conflicts, dawn kirk is done and to just on all part of a russia lead security part and the outcome taliban is now in talks with the pakistani government couple hider has more from the border town of to come in pakistan. a sunnier of our delegation comprising of, of our leaders and budgets on, at the moment they've already had an important round of dogs for the country's military leadership. they have met the bugs on the prime minister buckets on a stretching on the point that has to be an inclusive government. that dollar bond have already signals that they will tolerate other religious minorities, as well as admitted written down to varman inclusive government. it is going to be

important to see what kind of progress will be made and reaching a political settlement. and meantime, to buckets on a foreign minister is planning to wear their turkey and also a whole consultation read for different states such as iran. 30 minutes dawn with bit gets on budget gets on and also read the chinese down to barge buckets on has played a lead role. and facilitating the dog between the $1.00 bond and the united states . it is acting as a facilitator and of gods. what happens head and slum bots will be crucial, but it adults are important to know that buckets on it, watching cautiously, the moves inside of vanished on the signs, are good. that the force diamond decades, that the people of afghanistan have a rail volpe and reaching a political settlement to the one conflict. well, the taliban has made repeated pledges that women's rights will be respected under

its interpretation of islamic law. but many people fear return to the groups period in power more than 2 decades ago when women were shut out of public life and briefly punished for breaking rules. well for more and this i'm joined by natasha walter, founder of women for refugee women. natasha, thank you. so much for joining us. of someone who worked in afghanistan, we all thought when it became very clear a few days ago that the taliban were about to take, the capitol is just horrifying and heartbreaking to think about what is happening to women in afghanistan. now, i mean, i was working at the report when i went to afghanistan and cheese has been to 2006 . and i mean, what i really remember is just being credible coverage of the women. i met them who lived through time and such extreme brutality, such extraordinary repression. and yet were coming out of their houses, going into education, going into work, going into public life,

insisting on taking out their rights. and they were doing it because of the promises, obviously made by the western governments in the international community that those rights will be respected. so, i mean, it is heartbreaking to see here what is happening to women. now, the absolute terror that we're hearing coming from women in afghanistan and whether it's, you know, the few videos that we're seeing, say, a women shouting through the fences at the apple screaming for how the voices were hearing of women who've been going into hiding. terrified about what's going to happen to them and their families. because women who have moved into public life, they're not going to stop. they know that they are going to be targeted that they are in danger. i didn't specific know. what do you make of assurances from the taliban? but they are not the same taliban as old, but that women can have a rolling society under the taliban. they say or be caviar heavily within sherry

a law. well, i prefer to listen to african women rather than the men of the taliban about that. and what their say is that those promises and nothing. you know that they think they were already seeing over a ton of repression. women are already being told to leave the streets already hearing about violence against women, women being targeted. and obviously a lot of what we'd like to hear about we can't hear about because already what you know coming to pass is what we fear, which is that women are beginning to disappear from public nights. we cannot just stand by and let this happen. i mean, here in london, you know, you take off mant has said that it is an a we settlement theme for african refugees and says that women and girls would be prioritized. but it's, you know, nobody seems to know how that can possibly be implemented in this current. absolutely chaotic situation, where the humanitarian is about humanitarian evacuation is needed rather than

resettlement on why this wasn't planned full way before the withdrawal of troops is just absolutely baffling. i mean, i remember when i went trap kind of not in 2006 meeting a policewoman who said to me, even now she said i'm in fear. you know, i know that the tunnel on could come for me. so anyway, some countries talked about renewing support. sorry, so many western countries have talked about the urgent need for continuing support . not any support women, but other n g o, some charities operating in the country. how practically, is it possible to get that support to people on the ground without going through the taliban itself? what exactly? it seems impossible and as your report showed, so clearly, you know, even that control of the apple. it seems as though it's going to go really soon and then how enough is that lifeline going to remain for africa,

people for women who are at risk. i mean the international community has to do all that. it can in order to live up to promises that are being made to day, to ask women that they will not be abandoned and work as hard as possible with those civil society organizations. the able to operate in the region with those african women's organizations that are still able to operate either secretly in afghanistan or a neighboring countries in order to try and identify women at risk and bring them where possible to say sky natasha walter, founder of women for refugee women, thank you very much. thank you. still to come on the news, our, the vaccine battle spills onto us college campuses. and the lim peon, who auctioned off a metal from tokyo to help a sick child story coming up in support.

ah. one of our shops will be offered in the us from as early as mid september as the delta very it drives up cases. the health officials say people will be eligible 8 month off the getting. the 2nd job is after finding the protection offered by the vaccine wayne's over time. but the world health organization has warned wealthy countries against giving booster shots until more people are vaccinated worldwide cove, in 1900 cases and hospital admissions are increasing. and almost all us states let's go to, she have returned z whose life for us in washington d. c. she had, 1st of all, if they saw the back of concerns about the long term, efficacy of existing jobs in the face of the delta vary. and what does the approval of these pizza shirts mean in practice?

well, we should be clear, these haven't been approved yet. we're still waiting regulatory approval in the united states from the food and drug administration. and the centers for disease control actually has another one of the many reasons why this announcement has raised eyebrows. because why is the white house getting a had a regulatory approval? i mean, surely this is kind of putting the thumb on the scales a bit, actually what are supposed to be independent agencies. but what we kept hearing there from the administration has been that they want to get ahead of the virus and they want to be playing catch up. but in fact, the cdc released a couple of 3 studies today to try and make the make the case that both the delta variant has proved to be so so combative against games with ac seen. that's the a booster shot. sorry. and anyway, as he was suggesting, the efficacy of the, of the pfizer modelled vaccines is going down anyway. but actually those, what are we conclusive? and a lot of experts have looked at those, those, those studies that were presented and said, well wait a 2nd. if anything,

shows just how strong the pfizer madana vaccines are preventing serious illness and hospitalization. amongst most people yeah, i mean okay, we can see that there may be a case for those who working in emergency emergency work, nursing homes, maybe for the elderly, for immunosuppressed people and so on, you know, and then happens to move in that direction already in the us, but we don't see why a perfectly healthy 18 year old needs a 3rd. a 3rd booster shot out, in fact, some of the stated isn't terribly conclusive as to whether it's actually because of the efficacy of the vaccine or whether it's because maybe people who've been actually wearing masks anymore. i mean, it's just that conclusive. so a lot of questions right now about, about this particular move by the, by the buttons, dogs, especially pie didn't ministration at least theoretically, to be offering everyone over the age of 18 who took, who took madonna or pfizer, a 3rd shot. and bearing in mind that, of course, many countries around the world are still waiting to administer 1st, 2nd doses to their populations. how is news of these food types this booster shot

been received beyond the us? it was pretty clear when joe biden was speaking just a few about half an hour ago that he had the you have that question mind because he anticipated. and he said, you know, are there, there are those and other countries say we shouldn't be giving booster shots when so many people don't have a toys that i disagree. we can tech, we can take care of america and help the world at the same time. and then he pointed to the huge numbers of vaccines that have been donated and have been pledged by the us around the world as he was pointing out more than every other countries donated put together. the problem is that really there is something very wrong right now. because despite the u. s. is donations, there is that huge gap, the hospital and pressure on biden to do far more to try and pressure some of your pin countries on the pharmacies will countries themselves to waive that payton's for more technology transfer to get more vaccine production. it was great. the

biden and the biting the session, so they were in favor of that, but i haven't done anything since, and that's a real problem. in addition to the world health organization has been particularly outspoken. as you suggested, the chief scientist, a thing, having seem to be the same data the we've seen, we believe clearly that the date of the day does not indicate the pieces are needed . and finally, there was a very point in tweet from another w h r official. he said we are planning to have extra life tracking to people who already have life jackets while we're leaving other people to drown without a single life jacket. that's the reality. she returns in washington dc. thank you. all thoughts may be turning to a 3rd vaccine. there were still some people in the us who don't want to get their 1st role rentals reports the political control vesee has spilled over to college campuses. more than 20000000 us students are headed off to college. this year, there's a new item on the curriculum. cobit 19 vaccine mandates, more than $700.00 colleges and universities now say students must be vaccinated or

face repeated covey testing and forced social distancing, or even be barred from campus. colleges are desperate to prevent a replay of last year's damaging campus. shutdowns and other outbreak would be extremely disruptive. we're risking another evacuation from college campuses in the fall, and it will have an even greater impact on those who are already the most vulnerable in our society. in the politically hyper charge debate over vaccines in the us. there are naturally those who refuse to comply riley o'neill, a student at loyola marymount university in los angeles, is one of them. it goes back to the idea that i should be able to choose whether i get the vaccine or not. and if i'm going to be coerced into doing that, i doesn't feel like a free choice for me, and it very much feels like oppression. he has sued the university over its vaccine

policy. if he refuses the shots, he could attend loyola marymount, but would have to undergo repeated testing and observed social distancing with other students. o'neil's lawyer was quick to frame the issue in political terms. there is going to be this continued divisive effort by the laughed by the progressive side of this nation to try to create this division between the vaccinated and the vaccinated. so far legal efforts to overturn college vaccine mandates have fallen flat. a federal appeals court recently ruled against students suing the universe the of the indiana over its vaccine mandate. one of the judges wrote, people who do not wish to be vaccinated can go elsewhere. and the supreme court has upheld that ruling. o'neill seems unconcerned that unvaccinated young people will

get infected and spread the virus to more vulnerable people. quite frankly, my age group isn't nearly as affected by coven 19 as, as older generations are. that's a problem that says higher education authorities. part of our educational responsibility is to talk to people not only about their rights, but also their responsibilities and liberal education. america's historic commission of educating for democracy requires that we in part, that message. now, more than ever, survey show the overwhelming majority of college students approve of campus vaccine mandates. rob reynolds al jazeera los angeles. new zealand has reported 9 new cases of covey, 19 taking its active total to 10. the government announced a 3 day locked down from tuesday when the 1st case with announced before this week that be no local infections for almost 6 months. all the new cases of the delta

variance and have been linked to an outbreak in australia. i need everyone to think about what it would be like to receive a call. if you do, we need you to be at home, not out putting others at risk. we very unfortunately need only to look at new south wells who today have reported 633 cases. $92.00 were active in the community while inflicted level 4 restrictions, the to protect everyone. and australian officials, a warning current of ours cases have not yet peaked in sidney and the city should prepare for more death. several areas of experience, the surgeon infections, driven by the delta variance. the state of new south wales reported a record day. the rise of more than $630.00 cases in the past 24 hours. the government is announced, heavier find some more policing to enforce a lockdown in place since june. according to the data, we have,

every person who has the virus is spreading it to at least more than mumford now for us to know that we've reached out peak that can't continue. so what the daughter is telling us in the last few days is that we haven't seen the worst of it . and the way that we stop these is by everybody staying at home. this is the news our from london still ahead will be speaking to save the children who are warning mound. nutrition enough kind of sun is likely to rise. you accuses valerie using refugees as political tools and in sport. a new generation of indigenous canoe is inspired by what they saw the tokyo olympics. ah, ah hey there,

your weather forecasts for africa coming up in a sec, but 1st full focus on europe and we've still got this disturbance over scandinavia . slowing down, wet and windy conditions through the north sea. so there are some weather alerts we need to talk about amber alerts and okay, here we go. sweet and could see up to about 100 millimeters of rain and poland also in the line of fire. 70 millimeters and look at those winds. they see them gust up to about 80 kilometers per hour. what is windy also through the baltic states on thursday. got a pretty good batch of what weather along the western shores of the black sea that could spill into romania, giving us some pretty hefty rainfall amounts as well. you know, portugal had warned about 75 percent of its districts were at an increased risk of wildfires. because of high temperatures, and we're starting to see them flare up here. and the good news is temperatures have started to fall here, so lives been high of 25 degrees. could see some stormy weather, just west of barcelona on thursday. also,

the risk will not the risks we're putting it in the forecast some brain for it's stumble. moving through the boss 1st with a high of 30 degrees. i promise you, we would get to africa. we've got some storms through southern areas of nigeria pushing into toko and gonna on thursday that sure weather update. the news most people will never know what's beyond these doors. the deafening silence of 100000 and how it feels to touch danger every day. most people will never know what it's like to work with. every breath is precious with fear. it's not an option, but we're not most people more than 10 years after the global financial crisis, you've taken home more than $480000000.00. your company's now bankrupt our

economies in the state of crisis. i have a very casey question, 1000000 lost at home the us held responsible. i will be fabulously wealthy and i will not pay any price for us. the men who still work on al jazeera ah the ah. reminder at the top stories here on al jazeera, former president, sharp ghani, is his house of war. he called baseless accusations against him after he fled the country. speaking from the u. e. he said he left to avoid bloodshed and i've got

a son itself. taliban fighters purportedly open fire.
