food waste and greenhouse gas emissions. ah, i've got to stop most independence day on thursday with small demonstrations around the country. and while the african flag was flown in defiance, a symbol of resistance to taliban control, the threat of violence and reprisal was never far away. at least 2 people were killed in protest in a sad about with more injured as taliban fighters fight into crowds in july about who were flying the afghan and not taliban flag. the scene at cobble airport remains chaotic. people scrambled over was to try to get evaluation floods. believe 17 people were killed by gunfire or in stamp speeds. and the un is warning. the aid workers need access to the african people to look out for their rights and deliver food supplies from mcbride begins coverage from couple

at cobble airports. main terminal. this is proud control taliban style. follies of gunfire. scatter people in panic. the that's another gate. even more desperate scenes, as the airport continues to be besieged. and at the side of the airport, whether u. s. military evacuation is taking place. private defense contract is there. use. take us at the british embassy compound long lines, gather daily to apply for special visas. with promises from the taliban of amnesty for those who worked with foreign forces and safe passage to the airport. but many doubt the taliban promises fears, raised bites, treatment of protest is wanting to retain the national flag. deadly classes with taliban fighters have taken place in the city of gyla bad with emotions running

even higher as afghanistan celebrates independence day. there have been further confrontations in the city of a sad about the violence if they say in dependence day has res tension in what is already a very highly charged that was a bike o incident. it comes on the same day as assure us, the most important day in the calendar. a ritual of the here by the minority has, are a community i targeted in the past by i still bombers. the commemoration this year is also overshadowed by the current upheaval. and concerns the community may face further alienation and re taliban governments. made of a lot of that. as i see it, if the government is going to be dominated by just one ethnic group, it makes us worried that the country could slip back into civil war. and destruction on the streets of cobbled, there are signs of life returning to something like normal with more business

opening and hopes for a new start. but now we are on the go that everyone was tired of the previous government. people are hopeful for whatever is coming and the business will be better, but the views of a nervous population remain make it better for our future if the countries free of all these troubles in his fortunes another in each other. we don't want to go back to the previous television era when young people would have to follow the strict code or get me, you know, with more taliban patrolling the streets. there's also been the return of a familiar site, traffic police in their distinctive uniforms, back on duty. a small comfort for a population, a need of any kind of reassurance right now. rob mcbride, al jazeera couple. while the united nations is calling for an inclusive government in afghanistan, secretary general antonia, could tara say they've communicated with the taliban? but he hasn't yet spoken to them personally. i'm, i mean, i'm ready to speak myself. when it is clear,

with whom should i speak for what purpose? i was in close contact yesterday the day before yesterday with the deputy prime minister near the front of the heads of catan, we are following the katara initiative and supporting it. let's hope that there will be away foreign and an inclusive government in afghanistan. meanwhile, president joe biden has said that us forces will stay in afghanistan until all americans are evacuated. mike, hannah has more from the white house. well, president biden said in the course of the day in an interview with a local us network, that there was the possibility of extending that deadline. he said that every american citizen is going to be evacuated from double and his forces will remain in place until this is the case. this is the 1st suggestion from any aspect of the biden administration, that there is a, the end to this timeline that it is,

in fact a loose deadline, determined by how many people effectuated now on that particular tax state department says over the course of the day that it has evacuated some 7000 people to this point. it adds that there are a nother 6000 people that couple airport who have been processed and ready to go out and transport flights. they do not specify what the nature of these people are, whether they are embassy workers, american citizens, or indeed can nationals who were working for the u. s. and have been granted single immigration thesis. the state department also says that added state department personnel are being sent to kuwait and to cut to help process those seeking to enter the united states. this in reference once again to africa, nationals, as i said, those who worked for the u. s. and also a number of

n g o. lead is for example, who are seeking exit from afghanistan. aust, repeatedly the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff said that the us forces somebody do not have the capability to be able to move out of the airport in to couple proper to be able to school those within the city itself. who have not been able to get through that ring of taliban around the international airport. so this is a major issue because looking at the arithmetic estimates were that there was some 16000 us citizens in couple we pads, department saying that 7000 people have left and other 6000 people are waiting to process at the airport. now we do not know how many us citizens are still outside that airport region. and importantly to, of course, we do not know how many afghans who would be eligible to take those evacuation flights in couples. city, we do know that there are many in that category who are elsewhere in refugee camps

in pakistan, for example. but the key to get out is obviously at this moment to get to couple airport which is impossible for many to do state department not giving any indication how people are going to be assisted to get to the airport through the taliban lines. for an embassy staff, an african citizens who have managed to board evacuation flights have begun arriving in several european countries. many landed on flight to madrid on thursday . spain plans to lift around $500.00 people, including embassy staff, and the afghans who work with them. prime minister petro sanchez, the spain could become a hub for african refugees and lifted to the european union. but no further details have been given in germany and those becca st on airlines flight carrying a vacuum ease, landed in frankfort. the german military arrange an air bridge between campbell and it was a capital pass kent and as evacuated several 100 people. so far, evacuees are being taken to temporary accommodation in brandenburg while

we don't want the taliban to get them in the past. they've attacked people that overturned women's rights and they orchestrated genocide against the his are people on the national flag is displayed in defiance of the taliban who are replacing it with their own white flag containing scripture from the koran. young women, sport, long hair, pisses, and jacob, as hallmarks with their liberty, another active defiance and women. clearly the full runs of efforts to win to mines in europe to help out the taliban isn't just a political cause for them. i remain has several female relatives back home and she fears for their lives might be let you know going to something that many of them are teacher. many of them are journalist, part of the army. some of them are working army with the government. all of them are in danger. if they return back, they have to accept their violence. they have to be in community live on the

telephone or they have violence. how they can work with solomon, that there is no human god. there is no behavior. didn't a human woman how they can work with them? but for europe, the issue is highly political, not least here in greece. the main gateway for refugees crossing from asia into europe. afghans in greece are asking the government to speed up the progress of asylum applications. well, they can patrick's who need to find very paving here. but africans are already the largest ethnic contingent applying for asylum here. 20000. they are 4 times larger than the next ethnic contingent who are the syrians. and they accounts for nearly half of the total number of small amount locations. the government is worried with the situation unfolding enough to understand those numbers could rapidly rise. the european union has long excluded africans from a relocation policy that helps relieve external border states. now,

greece fears it could be left to cope with them. john, so to pull us al jazeera athens ah, for an aid is finally reaching rural parts of haiti, devastated by a powerful earthquake on sunday. hundreds of people in come, paris have been waiting for provisions and cued up for handouts from the un. the delivery was delayed out through a month side plot the main road leading into the area where the haitians made homeless by the disaster with sleeping out doors. when tropical storm grace hit, just days after the quake after strokes continue to cause panic in the country, south west nearly a week after the earthquake killed more than 2000 people. so in the home it visited the hardest hit city of the k. a nearby villages this is the as yet little known center of haiti's disaster zone to i was from the city that

america has been given approval to enter into an $850000000.00 settlement with the victims of historic child sex abuse. the organization was flooded with sexual abuse law suits in 2020, after several us states allowed accuses to sue over allegations, dating back decades, which on hand wouldn't join says live now from washington d. c with more there. so john, what exactly does this settlement achieve with the boy scouts of america were a venerable institution for decades or so people thought they were founded in 1910 and for more than a century operated in a way that many american boys wanted to join this organization. but as the me 2 era dawned, one story after another began to emerge about former scouts saying that they had been molested by scout leaders and others so much so that by the time this became

a class action suit in 2020, 82000 people filed claims saying that they were victims of sexual abuse at the hands of the boy scouts of america, and that financially threatened the organization. so they went into bankruptcy, asked to court to resolve who is owed, what, and then eventually hopefully in their eyes to allow the organization to continue. this proposed settlement would do that for amount of a $150000000.00. that is the proposal that the boy scouts of america is putting out there the judge approved in principle that that settlement but didn't approve every aspect of it. so this is still a proposal. at this stage, the judge denied a portion that would have given millions of dollars to lawyers who had helped file these claims. it also denied a previous agreement that the boy scouts wanted to get out of one of their insures the hartford had agreed to pay $600000000.00 and then be absolved of all further

liability. the judge said, no, you can't do that as part of this settlement to those things. have to still be resolved. with those $82000.00 claim, it would also create a child protection committee that would try to prevent this sort of thing from happening in the future. but there's a long way between this proposed settlement and actually getting it done. the settlement has really ballooned dramatically. it began with 275 people making claims and now is at 82000. and that was allowed to happen because many states in the u. s. had statutes of limitation. that said, you can only file a claim for several years after an incident happened. well, many of those states got rid of those statutes of limitations or expanded them, or that allowed a lot more people to get involved. so now this has to be approved by the people who are owed the money that is mostly the victims. and right now the insurers are

saying that they don't agree with this because they think there is fraud. so a lot of things need to still be resolved. but right now the judge has said she would approve an $850000000.00. settlement some details still to be resolved. john entered a washington d. c. thank you. malaysia's former deputy prime minister is likely to lead a new government signaling a return to power for the long time ruling parting its mouth. oper jacobo has majority supported parliament and now needs to be approved by the king. he represents the united malays national organisation party, which led malaysia for 6 decades before being brought down by corruption scandal 3 years ago. going prime minister maria dean. yes. in resigned on monday, after losing support over his handling of the cove at 19 pandemic. cuban government has introduced tighter controls on the use of social media bonding, false news, and anything it says could damage the country's prestige. but it's theresa bo

a short period of time. and also the ability to apply technology to scale this from an industrial point of every year. the world produces more than 1000000000 tons of residue from food. this wasted along with the resources used to make it but more impactful than that, is that what that food start the, the composing methane methane is submitted because of the composition and missing gas. greenhouse gas, that is $23.00 times more not done until 2. so what waste alone is one of the highest a seal 2 meters in the world. scientists are leaving little doubt that reducing greenhouse gases, fighting sustainable sources of food, and accelerating the transition to a circular a corner. we cannot wait if our species is to survive on our planet. this larva

absorbs tons of waste without emitting any gases. then it's turned into highly nutritious fly flour, which is made into pellets for feeding fish, chickens, pigs and dogs. to most people, these little crunchy critters don't look or smell very applique, but they were in fact packed with po team. and they also produce an oil kind of butter, which in the not too distant future, we could be sporting on or toast or using in our face cream because it's properties or so. but official like coping oil and breast milk. it's high in laura acid, m hard concede the flies still have a bad name and that in most western cultures eating insects is still hard to swallow. but perhaps more important is what these flies eat. using black fly larva to absorb and up cycle or organic waste, before it becomes missing gas could potentially turn this still young industry into
