the border say it's not because they have improved back home. they say it's a good continue to be targeted because many of these are being reported. and when they come to taking refuge here last time i we're going to do everything in our power to get all americans out and our allies, chaotic evacuation as couple airport forces us president joe biden, to we think pulling out troops by the august 31st deadline. international monetary fund adds to us financial pressure on the taliban. suspending, i've kind of stands access to its currency reserves. ah, hello,

i'm madison with world. busy news, and i'll just hear a live from joe, have also coming up, flocking holmes, and no aid inside. i'll just get a travels to the epicenter of haiti's, devastating earthquake. let's kill more than 2000 people. most people here are telling us is that this time around there are unable to help each other because their victims. new zealand tries to contain an outbreak of the delta variance which appears to have come into the country from australia. and india's most popular state proposes a controversial to child's policy which could make women even more vulnerable. ah, i've got to stand should be celebrating it's anniversary of independence this thursday. instead, the country is coming to terms with life under taliban rule. in the eastern city of santa but at least one person is being killed and in independence day rally down south in the city of cost taliban fighters and enforcing

a curfew to stop protests against them. south balances live for us in cub charlotte, just talk us through what we know about what's going on. so there are a number of incidents now tied to these independent se celebrations. traditionally, people are out on the streets. they are waiving the republic flag, which is red, green and black. it is a moment of celebration. people drive around with music playing. there hasn't been so much of that in cobbled today. and they have also been isolated incidents of the taliban trying to disperse some of these crowds and shooting into them. and people being getting injured, getting shot, being hurt, and stand paid. and then isolated incidents of people also being killed. so we've just confirmed out of a sod, a bad crew not provence, that there was a sam paid in, gunshot fired into a crowd. as you said, 2 people were killed. 8 people entered via also a lot of where it's going to the center of the celebration traditionally that the

taliban have fired towards the crowd beer. and that 2 people have been shot beer in cobble. there also are some isolated protease, which are linked to the flag itself. are people walking down the street women also walking down the street pass hello fi shoes waving the old flag under that was under the republic and sang our flag is our identity. they also processed yesterday around the flag and multiple places because the telephone have taken the old flag and raised and state the lab, which is why some, some people pushing back on that very upset and the end independent say today you typically see the flag everywhere. so this is certainly an opportunity for people to push back and say, no we, we want our old flag to continue to be raised and not the telephone one. and all of this is happening is people are still making their way to couple airport, i believe in order to try to,

to leave the country thousands of thousands of people trying to get to cobble international airport for these evacuation lines. they just keep coming. people are sleeping near the airport. they gather around the telephone, are in control of the perimeter, trying to stop people flooding past having things like we saw on monday, where people flooded on the tarmac and evacuation flights. couldn't take. the problem. is that how they are doing crowd control involves shooting into the air and whipping people. and so a lot of people running away, even if they have a valid these are and pass him are entitled to get on to be some of the flight they too scared to try to push past the telephone line or they just not getting any traction with the telephone really overwhelmed by the thousands of people were trying to get onto the slide, the telephone actually, in the statement saying, we're telling people to go home if they don't have

a legal right to travel. they have acknowledge that they have been at the airport saying that they are from gunshots or stampedes, bay and nature. also confirming that 12 people have been killed in cargo since i took over on sundays. we were at a hospital yesterday and can confirm that some of the people that were killed came from the chat about a live person couple shot a thank you. all having scenes of chaotic evacuations from couple airport has led us president joe biden, to rethink the timeline of the withdrawal of american troops in place to keep his forces on until all american citizens are out of the country. even if it means after the august 31st deadline, here's what he told a b. c. news. all chips are supposed to be up by august 31st. even if americans in our afghan allies are still trying to get out, they're going to leave. we're going to do everything in our power to get all americans out and our allies does that mean troops will stay beyond august 31st if

necessary, depends on where we are. and whether we can get ramped these numbers up to 5 to 7000 a day coming. now if that's the case, they'll all be out because we've got like 10 to 15000 americans in the country right now. right. and are you committed to making sure that the troops stay until every american who wants to be out? yes, but joe biden, secretary of defense, it says the truth don't have the capacity to operate beyond the perimeter of couple airport to help american military commanders have been speaking for the 1st time since the african capital fell to the taliban, they defended their actions. seeing intelligence did not indicate the african military would collapse. so quickly. i took all his reports for the pentagon. the top military leaders in the us faced the press and make promises. and we are the united states military. and we fully intend to successfully evacuate all american

citizens want to get out of afghanistan, all american citizens who want to get out of afghanistan, they are priority number one. but then these leaders admit, they can only do that if the taliban let them. and right now there are widespread reports of people being denied access to the airport. we don't have the capability go out and collect up large numbers of people from bar. they say they are negotiating with the taliban to allow americans and credentialed afghans to pass. but say the number of us troops there means they can only focus on keeping the airport safe. and with another 2000 people evacuated on tuesday, there are still tens of thousands of us citizens and need to get out. how did this happen? the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff says no one saw this coming the timeframe of a rapid collapse that was widely estimated in range from weeks to months and even years following our departure. there was nothing that i or

anyone else saw that indicated a collapse of this army and this government in 11 days. the consistent mind from the pentagon has been this is not the time to look at what went wrong, but instead to focus on the mission. but with growing outrage from both republicans and democrats, it's likely congressional hearings could start as early as next week, for what many are calling a humiliating. catastrophic failure. patty gal hang al jazeera at the pentagon with on the president of connie has emerged for the 1st time. it seems free the country he's now in the you eat, county defended his decision to leave as the taliban pushed towards the capital, saying it was to avoid violence is also denied. rumors that he fed with suitcases for the cache, much deputy adoption disaster and they should input. 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 baseless lies, but you can even ask customs officials, they are based off for millions of outcomes, is not just the political future of their country, which is at stake, but also the economy. one of the world's poorest nations is heavily reliant and foreign aid. it's unclear how the taliban can govern without international recognition. international monetary fund says, because of the lack of clarity, it's holding $455000000.00 in new money reserves that were due to be made available on august the 23rd, the gun central banks assets. so was $89500000000.00 and they're largely held outside the country. officials in the us say the taliban won't be able to access any cache held there. i've got to stand central by governor says it will be easy for the taliban to govern, and i small commodity who's left,

the country says poor afghans will be hardest hit by advising food prices. they can come and see connie's been depreciating by about 6 percent off the taliban seas couple. after the taliban took control of afghanistan, prices of daily consumer items have been rising before things were much cheaper. now they are about 4 times the price of this province has been under taliban concert for the last 3 months. at that time, there was peace and business was good after this tale about took control of all of our understand we are facing difficulties in our businesses, but we hope that taliban will control the situation with peace soon. well, joining us from a couple is fucking saddam, he's head of the international relations department i called on university. thank you very much. indeed for joining us on. all just say that if the taliban and whatever form of government comes into force in afghanistan doesn't have access to

these finances. what is going to be the impact on af county people? well, part of those separate. that is, the 1st thing that comes my mind because over the years, whatever has been in the country and whatever is happening, their primary the primary target of this upgrade is the common man. and now if under, under my, an international assistance does not load up one is done. this was not only put in problem, but the uncommon men and, or didn't receive by the what was the for more and more there was that is already 54 percent of the that would go up really. we can 1000000 people are in dire

need of assistance. you manage are in the system that would go up your back. we have the board on most 410-0000 they were in a, in a situation that will go up. so i think they're not bring, i'm the hardship in the can be on the, on the 38000000 people now will be part of that into the next page. we've been reporting on the fact that the title upon appears to be making some sort of moves to pull together some form of government to the senate in it's in a very basic form. how much does the international recognition of government matter to the taliban? and if it gets that international, reckon recognition, does that mean that there is a better chance that i've kind of stand will have

a more inclusive government? well, there are 2 things. international recognition will come under conditions on how to meet those conditions. conditions. i believe the 1st condition for international commission and as we hear from the international community, is that the bond has to do how it brought a all inclusive government. one of the reasons i think that the time that we have been announced a map for the country is because of this. they don't want to be isolated. and that is why the in negotiations we random meetings between the taliban showed high ranking officials and they are one meters

and some of the government, the previous government, official doctor of the law and express it in homage and as well as and the group then hit my data, the leader i'll not be who was currently in there, had been meeting yesterday and that's how you'd be all mid towards visit all the people i'll do it has been large. the meetings were to ensure their security and protection also that are another group of people who lead to pakistan lead the president and much people who are also presenting some parts of the country and people that impact negotiation

maybe would would that would that pocket money brains and if got our people out of my pocket. yep. we are waiting for an announcement. let me in touch with that. just briefly, an interesting point about the level of security in the country because that is key, of course isn't it the, the level of security, enough kind of sound, but also the level of corruption that also existed under the johnny administration as well. has been a major problem for investment in the country and confidence in investing in the country. do you think that the taliban from your perspective is in a position to be able to deal with those problems which have existed enough canister on for many, many years? well, there is no doubt that corruption was paid and immigrant needs government. and one of the reason that the people were odd that and somehow unhappy was or was

a russian and looking on government back in mandy might be a better and that they were corrupted. there were hardly corruption happening back at that time. so we have to see if the dotted buns, rank, and file remain. now, because one of the, it reasons that the people will welcome to the bon wholeheartedly. if you see that they are not corrupt as the previous government. so this is something to be seen about it but consolidate an actual governance for him. said that we appreciate you joining us and i'll just get a thank you very much. indeed, sir. still ahead and all of us defies the world health organization and says that a lot of booster vaccines recovered 19 within weeks. ah

hello, thank you for joining in. we're going to begin your weather story with australia, but hang tight, we'll get to asia and just one second. and so toward the se, we do have clouds drifting in and the potential to produce some scattered showers. it will be breezy on tasmania and you know, really truth be told for the next few days, hobart, or you'll see what being winds up to about 60 kilometers per hour. and the rain will always be near for a new zealand at southwest wind for the south island is going to keep us into single digits and run of rain toward the north island, but a bit warmer here. so good. been 18 degrees southeast asia. once again, sumatra locked into that weather more than a 100 millimeters of rain over the past 24 hours. and our heaviest concentrations of rain will be toward the malay peninsula, borneo,

to the ways the rate into pop you out on friday. god talk about japan, and now we can say it's been historic rain here. this part of hans, you almost 80 millimeters of rain in a single hour and we know on q 2000 millimeters. so that is a meter of rain over the last several days. and if we look at the forecasts on friday, that rain is continuing, but we've got a heavier concentration as we look towards chicago on friday. and so for that reason, they're still the risk of seen land slides. the boat area, the poorest nation, the european union rock by allegations of corruption, seemingly linked to the upper echelons of the countries. political in the aim of our early was to get the 1st to repair money to your phone. people empower investigation where the company goes from the carrier at the

crossroads on a o . the me you want, you know, just a reminder of our top stories. this, at least 2 people have been killed in the african city of southern rallies, be held, locking the country's independence day, is not yet clear that the death resulted from a stand paid on time on fighters. open fire with a crowd. us president joe bite infected forces could stay on enough kennasoft until all american citizens are out. that have been chaotic scenes or the co ball airports with atkins desperately trying to leave after the taliban seize the

capital. ok, let's go to johnson. awful. us in athens for demonstrators have been calling for rapid asylum approvals for thousands of afghans already in greece. john, i can see the protest. they that the tribes there with the, the banners behind. you just tell us more about what's going on the well, the people you're seeing here behind me, most of them women and children, but us vulnerable people are in the situation that is now holding in afghanistan, shouting. i've kind of want to live slogan dave developed as a protest against taliban rule. many of these people have relatives still in the country. many of them educated professionals who works with allied forces. many of the women with university education, they're really worried about what will happen on the taliban rule. i spoke to the president of the ask and he said,

the key demand here is that the greek should make it easy to apply for asylum and be approved for asylum. and he's also worried about the transfer of travel from afghanistan to greece, because there are so many points which can, can be intercepted and present from reaching st. have it in your area. the problem is where people in kc like now there are problems on the turkish radian border, which is the usual afghans was there. ok problem on the turkish maritime border, where we can push back people her friends with the silent people. the number of people you see here is about 200. there are an estimated 40000 here in greece. was in the

application. and you hope hi, this community. the purpose of the cruising goes asylum application. now rapidly processing jones that awful enough and john, thank you. saturdays question. haiti has no killed nearly 2200 people in tropical storm grace that hit days afterwards is hampering rescue efforts in more room areas closer to the center of the quake in china, communities have been flattened as john, home, and voice. this is the as yet little known center of haiti's dissolves design to i was from the city that captured attention following subsidies, earthquake things, a worse. we drove through 10 kilometers of countryside in which most of the houses were simply destroyed. we stopped and we saw this building in the village of florida. how's the communities, hospital, church and school for 50 for years on saturday. in

a heartbeat it was gone. thunder fell. now we're trying to find to at least find a tent to help the kids back to school. so they don't miss the year. the for on district chief says 98 percent of the houses have went down to. judith was washing clothes just like when we met her, when her house collapsed behind her i saw the us moving and we started running. there were 2 people inside. fortunately they managed to get out. now she and her family of 9 homeless just thought most of the community here. some lives have been lost to rahman and so been son was out in the fields with his dad when he was killed by a landslide, said of by the way, i feel terrible. every time i'm taking care of the animals, i think of him because he enjoyed doing that. yesterday would have been, he's 14th birthday. they showed us a photo of him and abruptly it caused an outpouring of grief.

we continued the villages wanting to show us all they've lost. i asked the nice cast stone by the ruin of her house if the community got any international aid, no, no vocal. there's many, a teams flowing into haiti and heading to this region, but it seems the help has yet to filter down to here and it's needed. you go from house to house in this community. there's 123, and $4.00, and then mostly destroyed. and what people hear it telling us is that this time around, they're unable to help each other because they're all victims. the district head is very clear about what floor own requires. then, then stop pulling water and foot. what a 10 for the most important thing. he says that he's already talked to the prime minister, who asked him to wait. meanwhile, fresh off the shots,

continue through the town. a powerful one while we visited this frightened crowd into the street. they already have little left apart from each other, john home and l just either thrown hey to new zealand. his report to 21 new cases. of course, 19 before this week, the country hadn't seen any local infections from 6 months. for ministers just in the down has ordered a nation wide lockdown. we have of course, cove at 9 teens. reemergence in new zealand means the streets are empty again, the government ordered a nation wide locked down following the discovery of the delta strain and the largest city auckland's, the prime minister jacinta rod doing his testing shows that it was brought into new zealand from australia. i can now report from the how genome sequence analysis that our current positive cases are a close match to a recent recount

a from sydney. it's likely to have leaked from a quarantine hotel and investigations around a way to find out how you feel in decision to lockdown after just one case of the delta, very intimate headlines around the world. but the prime minister said they only had to look to australia to see what could happen if they didn't go hard. and early on thursday, australia recorded it's worth numbers since the pandemic began with 754 new cases most are in the state of new south wales where the government opted for a slower, softer lockdown to try to contain the latest outbreak. when it's 1st case emerged on june, the 16th it took 10 days for the state to introduce restrictions. i appreciate what we're going through is difficult, but every site in australia will have to come to terms of the fact that when you get to a certain level of vaccination and start opening up, dale to crepey in australia and new zealand are among the slowest in the developed world to vaccinate the people you zealand is trying to speed up the process and it's decided to make defies of vaccine available for 12 to 15 year olds. this is

not a decision we have taken lightly. many of us appear in south south and take this judy of making decisions about other people's children extremely seriously. but it is safe. and it's the right thing to do. new zealand, which still only has a handful of cases, is now in a race to try to contain the new outbreak while vaccinating as many people as possible. wayne, hey, al jazeera towed on the new zealand. the president says he disagrees with a help organizations warning against giving corona virus booster shots, joe biden says, his government is capable of looking after his own citizens as well as helping the world as commons come up to the white house and veiled plans to offer booster jobs for mid september in the indian state of auto pradesh. the government is working on a policy to discourage couples from having more than 2 children. experts say the proposed bill is unfairly aimed at muslims will be disastrous for woman. utterly

mental reports. it's lunchtime and good james henry cars, household the copier, works as daily wage owners and say they had 5 children to help and more money. they also wanted more boys. they live in the tradition. yes, most populous state, which is drafting a bill to promote a to charge policy for probably $5.00. the policy will benefit the government, less russians, less subsidy, and those are 2 kids will get. what does the government? it's none of their business. does the paid and job to feed the children? this is a weird way to the states to child policy by families from several welfare schemes, including food subsidies in one of india, poor states. the government says this will improve development, but opposition parties believe the aim is to deepen the community divide ahead of next year, state elections. the state is governed by prime minister and arrange modi's

pathogen party whose members have promoted. the idea that muslims have too many children threatening in the hindu majority. i'll just reached out for comment, but our request was denied. those behind the bill want to bring down with the provisions store this paternity rate $1.00 by 2030. but government data shows the state paternity rate has already been falling life as far as india and would have achieved those levels in the next decade without the controversial to try. policy. levy were saudi, who patients include poor andrew women advocates to fewer children, but says that a restrictive policy could make things worse. what can happen isn't our country is a male dominated country, so it might, might lead to increased illegal abortion, which i feel we need to check on because everything is illegal, but there are places there not everybody knows the fact about experts believe this

bill good hom women, poor communities and minorities. what we need to do for them is to provide the family serving family planning services close to their doorstep with good quality and choice. education will take time. it is a magical one to factor for women's future. they grow their environment. the bill has gain traction in other b. g p government states, a sam has already passed it thing. it was the only way to bring down illiteracy and poverty among muslims. for families like the genders who depend on subsidies to feed their families, believe this low relief people like them was off. pardon me, missile? i'll 0 for lunch ahead with the dish. ah,

and this is all of these are the top stories, at least 2 people have been killed in the african city of a sud about a rally was being held, locking the country's independence.
