more than 2000000 people, but only those with permits are allowed to travel be on its borders. inside there are limited options for cultural experiences. so families try to enjoy stones at home. but the cinema boss offers a welcome change. i sent him, i had a cinema is really nice. i wish we had a big cinema like this one. so we could always go to it because we don't have access to things like this. it's the 1st time i've watched a movie in a cinema like this, a movie about love and caring about yourself. a message designed to reach everyone along the gaza strip. gillian wolf all to 0. ah, is, i'll just there, these you top stories, us and allied forces have 7 days to fly foreign and ask our citizens out of kabul if it's 6 to the august 31st deadline. but now us president joe biden is considering whether to keep troops the longer the taliban says they'll be

consequences if that deadline is pushed back. john henry has the latest from washington, or hearing the final deadline for the us to leave afghanistan might not be so final, after all, that president biden will decide by the end of tuesday, whether to unilaterally extend that deadline. and he wants to do that in order to give the pentagon time to prepare for whatever happens then. and that could be significant challenge in his said that deadline is a red line and the u. s. cross is it only at its own peril. couples airport remains in a state of chaos that reportedly 14000 people waiting with at least 10000 more side hoping to get in. taliban fighters have reached the outskirts of pantry valley last and only region in afghanistan, not on there is control opposition. leaders and former government troops have created a resistance group. in recent weeks. us vice president,

come la harris has address situation in afghanistan during her visit to singapore. she said, while the u. s. is laser focused on the evacuation from kabul, washington are looking to advance its interest in the east. the u. s. medicines regulator has fully approved the pfizer cove in 19 vaccine for people over the age of 16. its been an emergency you since december and powerful as greg that had haiti earlier this month is father hampering the countries vaccine will lead only around $20000.00 jobs have been administered. he's outbreak has been relatively small. severe drought is threatening more than 12000000 people in syria and iraq humanitarian groups. they urgent action is needed with people losing access to food, water and electricity. those all you have lots of nice continues out there to catch the taliban has taken control of afghanistan. 20 years also,

it was supposed from power. the country now faces a new reality. how will that impact the people as events unfold in the world, react day with the latest news and analysis from us going on? no, i use hello, i'm sammy's a dan. this is counting the cost on al jazeera and the world of business and economics this week. the taliban economy off the decades of running a power of administration can be averted crisis that the u. s. breezes. afghans billions in brazil deadliest manmade environmental disaster. 5 years on and tens of thousands are yet to be compensated. but a $7000000000.00 lawsuit against the anglo australian binding giant heading back to

london court room. the gambia lift covey restrictions of the west african country could be a long way from recovery with no control over off it economy. the news when cobble fell, it did so without the shot being fired, the tiny bon walked. busy into power as the country's president, i should have plenty fled the country, allegedly, with millions stuffed inside suitcases. the toddy bon, has the keys to the presidential palace, but they don't have access to all the leaves of power, including billions of dollars held overseas. in fact, the tiny bon inherit, the world 7th forest country, international aid accounts for 75 percent of the government's budget. and according to the world bank, about 43 percent of the economy. last year about 47 percent of the population lives below the the poverty line, according to the asian development bank and poverty could accelerate after the

united states froze $9500000000.00 in international reserves held by afghan, the stand central bank. it also stopped the shipment of dollars to the country before the government's fall. without the greenbacks, the economy may collapse dollars and needed to pay government salaries, keep the financial system afloat and pay for imports. as the country runs a trade deficit. without it, the currency will continue to depreciate, causing inflation, and food prices are likely to rise. the international monetary fund is withholding $460000000.00 it was supposed to send to afghanistan as part of its covert relief program. washington could use that as leverage to make sure the tale bon forms and inclusive government doesn't become a haven from groups. but that may be easier said than done. the taliban have existed outside before banking sector for the last 2 decades. they've relied on

taxing trade routes with drugs only forming a small part of their revenue stream. that's according to u. k. think tank overseas development institute. an example would be the south western province of nym ruse, which borders pakistan and iran. the taliban collects $54000000.00 in revenue every year. that breaks down as follows. $17000000.00 as a levy on fuel $23000000.00 as a tax on goods entering from iran and transiting through the province and $5000000.00 collected from the drugs industry. right, let's get some analysis now with jonah blank. he's a lecture at the national university of singapore and the senior political scientist and the rand corporation. good to have you with us. so without the international military spending without the international aid, what do you think is going to happen to the afghan economy? well,

it will certainly be very severely hurt. the economy is founded on the relies on international app, and it relies on the spending all united states military and of other militaries that are there. so this will really be a hard but i think the biggest problem is going to be how the tama bomb managed to reorient. not only the economy but society of the boarding science, i think are not are, are really quite worrisome. and on top of that, you think the us is going to use f kinda stands reserves, and the flow of dollars in the country can use that to kind of influence the political landscape there. it will try, but i'm not sure that it will succeed. the ton of on has proven in the past that you're interested in money, but money is not really as powerful tool as some outsiders might take,

is long as it has enough funding to fulfill its basic duties. as it is, then i think it's not really going to care whether an extra 1000000000 to 1000000000. are there come into the treasury? it needs enough money to get by and it, quite frankly, is going to have that just from customer's revenue of illegal narcotics and various other flows that are not dependent on the international economy. what about china and russia? do you think they can fill some of the vacuum or the void there? can they benefit from the departure of washington? i would say highly unlikely. there's a lot of discussion about china in particular filling the gap. and i just don't see that happen. i think china has had 20 years in which it had a free hand to do any business deal wanted. it has explored rarer it has explored

copper mining. there has been talk of a pipeline that never went anywhere. if china didn't do these things with the united states providing the security environment for free, it's hard to see why they would do it when they would have to pick up the security costs. as for russia, they just don't have the money. they don't really have the. 2 interest in doing this and they, they've had the experience and i've kind of stuff. 1 i don't think they're really going to want to get back in that you know, a really significant way. so given what you've just said, them, one assumes that all the talk about the tyler bond sitting on one trillion dollars of mineral wealth. they're not going to be able to access that very easily. now, not at all, even if it's true. that one trillion figure goes back to a pentagon study or something like 10 years ago. and it never has amounted to anything. it's all really based on

a lot of speculative numbers. what would happen if these rarer and other mineral wealth were in fact present and able to be brought to the world market at prevailing prices and every element of that. a analysis is at best questionable. all right, so given everything putting everything you said into context, will the taliban simply fall back into the sort of mode they've been used to dealing with, which is running a state shadow state, a shadow economy and relying on the sort of revenue streams it has developed over the last 2 decades, that's what the science looked like. we've seen a lot of indications of color, bon actions, not lining up with all of our rhetoric. and we have to deal with the basic fact that the tele bond is not really a cohesive top down organization. it is a lot of different plans groups, tribes,

all with their own separate agendas. and a couple will have a really difficult time imposing any real order. we have to remember that every ask on government going back century is probably going back forever. has been a very decentralized regime just 20 year experiment in centralized rule from cobble has been the 1st time that this is really been tried. and i would say that a lot of the dysfunctions that we've seen in the afghan government have stemmed exactly from this trying to impose centralized rule on a country that has never really accepted centralized rule. the top will find the same thing. reading the initial signs though from the international community, particularly the u. s. do you think there is the desire to see a stabilized staff kind of stand as long as the taliban does not allow the country

to become a place where groups gathered to attack other countries? yes, with the asterisks that the international community you would also need to see a regime that has basic respect for human rights. there's a lot of fuzzy this there, obviously. but i think that if a regime were stable, but we're a flagrant abuse or of human rights, it would be difficult for a lot of nations, not all, but a lot of nations to establish a diplomatic representation. i think however, that we're going to see both sides of that equation really cold into question, and probably sooner rather than later. how important is it for the afghan economy? the stance that will be taken by some of afghanistan's major trading neighbors, pakistan, iran, so on very important. and of course, hottest on, and iran have rather different interests, you know, kind of strong. i think that we're going to see, as we saw in the ninety's,

i've got a son being a in arena of competition among its neighbors rather than a ground for of, for cooperation. right. in good talking to thanks so much for your thoughts. jonah . thank you. the controversial changes to hong kong immigration law came into effect this month. critics say will give the government sweeping powers to stop people from coming in or out. but thousands have been leaving before it came into force. and as adrian brown reports from hong kong, that figure is growing. hong kong international airport is a quiet place these days except here, the check in area flights to london. these people are not going away for business or pleasure though. they're leaving for good feeling, a mixture of anger, guilt,

and defense. they're being forced out. this is our home. why do we need to leave? i mean, i have been living here for more than 40 years already and it's my home. so it's really sad to leave the home and you see that everything is she's a finance worker and has no job to go to like others who sacrifice careers often for the sake of their children. bolivia. so for many years we have our korean, we have family. yes. so it's been upset for the for the future of my child. and i think we need to do with the sat scenes and now being played out daily as more people join a growing exodus from the territory where communist party rule is being tightened. in the past year, an estimated $36000.00 people have left for britain under a special visa scheme. many supported over part of the anti government protest

movement, like dark su now in birmingham with his family. he says the change to the immigration law will encourage more people to go. i think the hong kong government speeds up the immigration plan for many home comments. for us, we did not plan to leave hong kong at the beginning, even after the protests in $29.00 team, like many others, he says he's unlikely to return to hong kong as city that still regard itself as asia's finest. the government denies the law gives it unlimited powers to stop people entering or leaving hong kong, insisting the amendment is aimed at screening. illegal immigration at source, amid a backlog of asylum claims. and the people's right to free movement will not be effected. those who go to the u. k. have opted for a new life in a country where koby 19 rates, a soaring and job prospects scares. yet that seems preferable to remaining here.

back in 2015 the fun day, damn collapse. releasing almost 40000000 cubic meters of mining waste in the rio doj basin. it was the biggest environmental disaster ever in brazil. it killed 19 people wiped out the villages as the waste swept down the river to the atlantic ocean. molden 650 kilometers away. the dam was owned by the some arco venture between b, h, p, and brazilian iron or mining giant vale. 5 years later, some 200000 people are still seeking compensation related to the disaster. in july of this year, a london court of appeals agreed to reopen the $7000000000.00 lawsuit against anglo australian mining giant b. h p. while to get to the state laws have had to overturn decisions that have gone against claimants. joining me now from london fell off all about the fun day. oh, damn litigation cases, petro martin's pedro is a partner at law. firm p g m b,

m, and the lead lawyer in the case representing the brazilian claimants. good to have us. first of all, why do you think the court of appeal agreed to reopen the case? well, the judge is in the point of view, believe that you have the real prospect of success. they have right le, highlighted the sexual nature of the case and said that the claim itself is of exception importance. both because of the number of claimants and important to them of obtaining such compensation as they may prove to be entitled to they. they have agreed that a judges in previous decisions had actually a regional origin. and he failed to address essential points that go. busy to the heart of the issues that need to be discussed in order to allow our clients to finally get compensation is won't give us an example of the sort of claims being made. so we were present over 200000 when they are divided in different categories,

represent municipalities, represent legal persons liberal, represent ego entities as well. i can give you 2 examples that for me are very descriptive of how bad the x that was the 1st one of our individual clients have lost. busy memorabilia, so basically we're talking about very vulnerable people in very vulnerable rural areas. so. busy we're a really, i mean, pictures of their families. they kept these memories in pictures, not digital pictures, not uploaded to a computer, but actually photographs. and the muds basically took every day when he passed destroyed their houses and destroyed. busy also. busy their memories, in a sense, another one that had quite a descriptive of how disastrous this was, is the claims made by the granite indigenous communities. the river in the credit

tradition actually represents their, a god for them almost like their mother. i've called walk to this how they call. busy the rubric, so basically when the wave off docs it much destroyed the river, it killed part of, of their, of their culture. now the, you know, the issue concerns brazil, brazil has courts. you got asked the question, why is this being heard in the u. k. court basically be judge b h b, e a u k based company. they are domiciled here. and all claimants believe that upon appeal will be able to establish jurisdiction in english against the h. b. we argued that the redress that allegedly being given in brazil it's completely inadequate. and b, h, b has largely protected itself from the legal consequences today and our clients

we are you have the right to pursue this case where they are let mister barish p. as i'm sure you know, claims is going to pay compensation. i think $360000000.00 in financial assistance this year alone that slightly they say to rise almost a $1000000000.00. is it necessary to go to court at all? our clients do not feel that they have adequate justice in brazil either to the settlement scheme foundation that was created by by d h b and is controlled by d h b and on this, please don't, don't take just my word for it. the united nations have been damning on the h. b. the un special reports or backwards to cock, had argued that those responsible for the disaster, including of course, p h. b, had failed to effectively support or compensate the victims. he specifically,

by the way, highlights the inadequacies of the renewal of a foundation. this settlement foundation that was created. so it's not about, it's not about whether what the h p is offering is enough. it's some serious doubts about whether any of these promises are going to come true. well, in fact, i think it's, it's both simon, the amounts of compensation that are being offered in terms of settlement in brazil are far from being adequate to fully compensate these victims and the damage they have that they have suffered beach be arguing the case should only be held in brazil. why do you think that is? well, i think each be so far has managed by means of using very expensive lawyers and using some procedural intricacies of the brazilian legal system to be able to avoid its liability to be able to avoid. busy the fact that it

should be held accountable in, in, in its entirety for the damage the day that they have. cause, i don't know, i don't think that they want this case to come to the international scenario. there's huge pressures pressures in europe much, much larger than they are in brazil for the h p and their shareholders. all right, thank you so much for talking to us. yes, thank you. business activities may be slowly returning to the gambia, off the curve at 19 restrictions have been lifted, but to the countries important economic sectors, diaspora, remittances and tourism continue to flounder. the 2 sectors constant use about half the countries g, d, p, and experts. a warning unless they recover fast. the future of the economy could be in trouble admitted race reports from ben jewel on the part of the jewel, a few ships dock waiting for goes. shipping activity may not be near what the

government expects after covered 900 disruptions. but for model, i mean who runs a seafood export company. it's an encouraging sign for businesses like history, main afloat, they need to support products. i mean, get help from government like this is sort of a lot of our grant. you'll be able to put a lot of space and be able to understanding that locally within the region on the still waters of oyster creek. dozens of boats anchored are waiting for a tourist, but only a few of them came in. let me content you hoping to convince some of them right in his boat. when we arrived, he was happy to show us the creek and river gambia, the waterways. he says, what happened bustling with tories. now hope is the only thing left for the industry. we have thousands of employees who are not late and then at home.

so basically most of the places are also closed due to maybe rent issues or the finance or this is completely, it is it is it is, it is completely a difficult citizen. at the moment, gambia lost $40000000.00 in torres revenue. introduce 24, a small economy that devastating the senate can be a cortez one of the best places to assess the help of the campaign economy. on a normal day, this area in the heart of the country tourism industry will be filled with tories and those who cater for them. now that number has significantly reduced business leaders. you can make it to it is maybe resuming slowly. but recovery is still far off, it has not ended, but there is some progress. and recently, i'm pleased to say the chamber was that it's still true. gabby international of the

2 years. he says one out of 3 businesses, he and the gambia may not survive the pandemic in one out of 6 businesses that do survive. i expected to face long term cash flow problems. that could mean more job losses or outright closures for some was a business is in europe and asia. i beginning to recover from one to disruptions. remington will be living abroad accounting for with 20 percent of the g. d. p is not expected to return to its pre covered 90 levels. that means more uncertainties for families and the economy of the gambia. the united nations is warning climate change is on the brink of becoming irreversible. that's pushing people to find new ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. one company in july is turning to insects . our latin america editor, alyssia newman, has the story from the city of chalka. they feed night and day ever

staggering speed. one kilo of black soldier fly eggs, eat 25 tons of organic residue in just one week. could you still impartially as the co founder and general manager of food for the future? a julian start up that transforms food waste and fly larva into a super food in almost a blink of the eye there why we chose the flies and a specific the black soldier fly. it's because the tremendous ability they have to process a lot of food waste and a lot of different types of food waste in, in a short period of time. and also the ability that they have 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. these submitted because of the composition and missing. gus is greenhouse gas. that is $23.00 times more not done until 2. so food waste alone is one of the highest c o 2 meters in the world. scientists are leaving little doubt that reducing greenhouse gases, finding sustainable sources of food, and accelerating the transition to a circular economy 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 appetizing, but they were in fact packed with protein. and they also producing oil a kind of butter which in the not too distant future, we could be putting on our toast or using in our face cream because its properties are so beneficial. like coconut oil and breastmilk. it's high in laura acid. m hard concedes 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 methane, gas could potentially turn this still young industry into a much needed game changer. and that's our show for this way, but remember, there's more for you on line of al serra dot com slash ctc. that'll take you straight to the page, which has been pirate as you can shop on. on sammy's

a than from counting the call. thanks for joining us. use an algebra. ah oh, stories that need to be told find away and demand to be heard, the opening the window into another light and challenging perception and personal endeavours in epic struggle with the colossal sacrifices in individual journey witness showcases, inspiring documentary change. the one on al jazeera, 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, a 1000000 lost at home. the us loan held responsible. i will be

fabulously wealthy and i will not take any price for it. thank you. lloyd, the man who still the world on al jazeera, the money side into her year stories on i'll just era here as president joe biden is expected to decide in the next 24 hours, whether to extend the deadline to withdraw us and allied forces from afghanistan, on the top and sides, they'll be consequences if the august 31st deadline is pushed back. john henry has the latest we're hearing now. final deadline for the us to leave afghanistan might not be so final. after all that president biden will reside by the end of tuesday, whether it.
