turkey in order to keep calm, opperation or to make civil evacuations. if these people are possible, we will have a role to keep discussing that with the taliban. the doing say, because they will have a special role in that mit the entirely bunch question. well, let's stay with our top story. the evacuation from cobble and many refugees also heading to the u. s. and some of them. and in the state of virginia where they're being temporarily house at an expo center. phillip else be meeting them in the town of chantilly. i have been travelling for days, they are weary. they are worn. they've been terrified, but at least now they're safe. it's a hiring experience for them, for sure. these are some of the thousands of off guns that fled cobble. they got out where so many have failed and all still failing. many leaving families behind some creating them amidst the chaos and the misery. i mean they that, that moment so happy because the baby so healthy. this baby born is it's family fled cobble heading to

a us base in germany. the mother went into labor in the i suffering complications. now here in the u. s. she and her child are doing fine. they are so happy that you're here. and the family said many 11000 people have been evacuated from afghanistan in just a 12 hour period. the majority of coming into dallas, the big international airport near washington d. c. feel unsafe just they were put on the buses, driven the 1st few miles on american soil to an expo center. what was the trickle is now a flood of people each with their own, harrowing, terrifying tales based buses. and i will arriving fairly regularly. perhaps one every hour, every hour and a half, the refugees get off that go into the convention center. but this is not their final stop. it is simply a layover somewhere they can get something to eat somewhere. they can use the facilities, they will then go into places like texas, like wisconsin, and even further afield. the journey here in the united states has only just begun

. they will that this man hasn't heard from his wife since she left cobble. you have to just way to find that where she ends up landing. i'm sorry, you're going through that. he tells his story to her, nasa. she is hearing a lot of these and afghan interpreter with a local muslim support group. she was out the airport helping those refugees make sense of that new surroundings. she has had some harrowing tales. a lot of these people have made safety, but they've had to leave their families behind and they don't know what happens when it's really traumatizing because they have to pick and choose to want to come with them. even the people who went to the airport, not everybody was able to get on the plane across the street. a flooring business is now leading the local effort to get essentially, to refugees. foyce too. and there's john, an african refugees himself is working. non stop to get packed, ready donations are turning up almost every minute. we're all here to help. we all

humans thanks to geneva, where we have shows up. but the chairperson of the african independent human rights commission speaking, let's listen to what she has to say about. i've gone on 4 months and may, following the horrendous attack on the girls school and cobble the coast over the 5 p. o, a fun, fun, independent human rights commission called on the un and the international community for move beyond statements to action for face the life of homes and prevent further atrocities. specifically, we called for a fact finding mission to monitor and reports got the evidence of while ations and abuses and advance accountability. as millions of phones are suffering, the future of the country, the means uncertain. fundamental rights of women and girls are being depressed and every village, town, and city across on the san hundreds of thousands are fleeing the country,

particularly ethnic minorities, human by defenders. journalists, why about the fall of on prostitution and oppression? believe the special session can do is to elicit faith through actions to funds that they will not look hallway, that the world is committed to at least a credible strong and well resource mechanism document that uses and acts as a deterrent. my them present. the data is lucian, pe, both today is a travesty. we have document that the fall, a bon advances came with somebody executions. the appearance of the fixture on woman media and cultural life. this is not in sham petri, this is earlier this month. and the 5th, the bay woman and upon a phone are being turned down from their offices by the fall of bon universities have been asked to discuss gender segregation. possibilities,

woman are required to be accompanied by male members of their family in public media are not worth casting music. journalists and activists, or in hiding or in flea. former members of the avalon national security forces are scared of the worst the family executions. how to, how searches and information gathering has led twice but fair people choose the test or other kind of are being punished and ways that undermine this human dignity without due process. additionally, as the council knows for the past 20 years, and even before i've one of my husband, the size of menu are crimes, hospitals and newborn babies have been attacked. school children blown up media have been directly targeted and some civilians have been killed. and yes, strikes are illegally paint and portrait a nice that is one of this council to these abuses of the form.

most international human dice body cannot be business as usual. often, activists from the gowns my colleagues on the grounds will face diving for their life and the life of their families demand better while they have everything to lose by putting bas, ask for a better mechanism forward to be frank with you, you are failing them. but now they not next man, not next march. you have the chance to redeem yourself. please take it, please and sure the session has a current balance, strong outcome. please do not leave the tomorrow or the next month. money, i speak to an honest on all they do that may not been and not how about tomorrow and our worst moments recall on news until better. thank you. she was. that's where that the chair pest of the i've got an dependent human rights commission, the stating girl, certainly

a whole litany of issues of issues that the guns are dealing with that we've already heard about in terms of the repression, the stigmatization summary executions. the ta, she was listening into that. she also said that the draft resolution is a travesty. it is not business as usual in afghanistan, and that she wants a credible, strong out come from this meeting today has to be today not tomorrow, next. next month and not next year. i think the urgency was in her voice. yes, he certainly did not meant her word. she urged to the human rights council. sorry that i have to interrupt you there. even a question yesterday about because a m a d should be back to the, to the republic is also seeking this and taylor will come straight back to you. i also would like to find out why the membership of the human rights council on the

old servers states we joined in great numbers stating their support for this special session. colleagues, we started this session with a heavy heart and deep concerns about what the future holds for. i've gone to some of the region the current situation in the country and its recent developments are critical and requires you are at most attention and millions, fearing for their lives. and a humanitarian crisis is unfolding as we speak. the people have gone a son, in particular, the thousands of human rights defenders, journalists, academics, professionals, civil society members, and former security personnel who wore the backbone. and we hope still will be of a contemporary and democratic society and whose lives

a livelihoods or risk the millions of girls and woman who have currently lost their access to education, freedom to work, and participate in the political and social life of their country. well, 4000000 internally displaced people who currently live with little to no humanitarian support on money. more afghans who are fearful of their lives and their future. they deserve your full support. here at this counsel, at least your moral support. because ladies and gentlemen, on many other photos on platforms, the guns were told that the conflict and i've done this done, does not have a military solution. they were told that the just an enduring piece will come to negotiating tables in the luxury hotels of the region. they were told that their rights, dignity, and their dreams for better future will not be treated. alas,

the dire predicament of the guns today, from the gut wrenching answered, then said the cobble airport to atrocities and the plains of pinball luck in kandahar. under this place, people and the besieged valleys of the hindu kush. tell us a different story. that there could be military solution, even a forklift that the civilized and rule bond communities could be abundant over night and thus atrocities could not be condemned and could be forgotten while the president, the situation on the ground this uncertain on di it requires serious attention. responsibility and accountability. we witness a high number of serious violation of international humanitarian law and human rights abuses which are documented. and most of those gruesome videos are available

on life. while some taliban water and all are still talking differently, restrictions on violations are already taken place as we speak woman the rights in particular, including incidence or forced marriage restriction on freedom of movement, access to education and workplace. media outlets are being intimidated, uncontrolled, and in some cases, door to door searches are being carried. examples of which was reported last week to the civil society activists, woman rise defenders, journalists, and many more fear retribution and sit back for the works and accomplishment in the past. 20 years international community, in particular, this counsel call upon the taliban and all parties to respect international human rights law on international humanitarian law, uninsured, the safety and security of all while the president, mother, my commissioner,

beside the protection. this is a key moment for the human vice council to embrace the preventive role. that's it has money time spoken to the colleagues. do you do whatever excuses this session may, shall fall off? establishing a fact finding mission as requested to look into the pathfinder missions and abuses, help accountability and justice for all and to prevent future atrocities. we still hope and we urge you that the outcome of this session delivers a strong message to all parties, including the thought that abuses and violation of human rights law and international humanitarian law undermines both peace and justice and will have consequence money off. you may have seen devastating images from global airport. this ather desperation for we out off. i've gotten this done, conveys a sense of fear, uncertainty, money, guns,

feet. we call up on all states to keep their borders open, to facilitate the exit and provide access for all africans, for the one who are most at risk, and who wish to leave seeking asylum is a human rights. and we urge you to welcome all those in it's why the president and boss of those and who's 7 and who's so ever, listen to me at this moment around the world as an engage and concern. so does enough. i've got to stop. i was an a student of history of my country. let me in my statement by reminding all of us that the main listen from the past 100 years of our history. is that a durable piece and a sustainable estate in a multi ethnic and diverse i've done this done, requires a practical, an androgynous political structure, a governance, a polity in susceptible to authority and use them on the dictatorship of any type

or manifestation. hence, there is no alternative to this publish mode of a right based florist take broad based government that includes all the groups and woman representative in an open mind. while some states have adopted the policy of wait and see, human rights system cannot and should not wait and see. we need that tension and action for this. the are you to remain fully engaged on abreast of the situation in afghanistan? and i thank you very much, my them prison. i thought you what you know there are english. why wasn't there emmett? and these are the bass of the, of the islamic republic of gun. it's done speaking to the human rights council by the president, addressing of course, many will speak as it will come through the more. let's cost back over to natasha butler live in paris. natasha. i'm sorry to interrupt you there. at least on 2 occasions, we had obviously the chairperson of the independent human rights commission. and

now the basset of a gun is done really on the same page when it came, came to talking about the violations that they and now hearing goals, both from civil society and really at a very high level diplomatic front. but the message is the same. there are major problems beyond the urban areas of i've got his son while by speakers certainly did not meant their words. they said that this was an opportunity for the international community not to just stand by and, and come up with resolutions, which might not lead to very much, but really to do things and act 3 things that have a real impact. now, one of the things that both those afghan speakers said was that it was important to the un human rights council put in place a fact finding mission in afghanistan. this is something that various international

organizations and charities white's organizations have been speaking about, including human rights. what recently saying, but what is needed is for us to put in place a mission that would be in afghanistan to document abuses, to hold those people responsible, accountable to really be on the grounds. and this is what they say because they was very important. they said that the council should make sure that this was one of the outcomes of this meeting to put in place this fact finding mission. they both documented the abuses that they have heard of over the past few days and weeks. i look, there has been a terrible history of abuses in the country, but it's not just the history of something that people are experiencing. now. we know the girls are being told they can't go to school. we know the women are being told to stay at home. human rights activists are trying to get out of our scanner or so on that note. we the format scan, i'm back to, to the end,

talking about the international state's responsibility to look after those who are trying to flee. he said there was the responsibility the service to seek asylum should be able to do. so any 2, he said, the state to keep their boarders open. so whoever wants to leave because they are people who are faring for their life under the taliban. because of course, i was going to come to that point about open borders because he was very clear about the international responsibility to those that do want to leave a bit. he also said, you know, 100 years of history we have to remind ourselves, i've got to stand is, should not be under an oval or for a terry and dictatorship, but must be a pluralistic, multi ethnic grouped country. able to listen to all voices. he seems to reiterate exactly what everybody else wants to re, re, to reiterate what the taliban are actually also saying that they want to respect all the ethnic groups. it's a hard sell really old friends. yes. i mean

we've heard that from, from all sides. the, the cool, the color found being urged by the national community to respect minorities, to respect all groups, to come together with some sort of perhaps a government in the future that would reflect all these different groups in afghan society, the taliban saying that they will respect people's rights, all these things being said, but what will the reality be? i mean, thought is the big question. when the evacuations rover perhaps when those foreign last foreign forces and representatives out of the country, what will be left? and i think that's obviously the huge concern for many of those. so the human rights counsel today to try and get the message across to the taliban. but the international community is watching. it won't for taliban today? it's, it's national rule whether or not the taliban will do that when the dust settles.

nobody knows. dr. bartlett's empower so as thanks very much just cross over to cobble. charles stratford was also listening in his standing by for us in the capital. one of the things that be baset a talked about charles was the issues of, of confrontation in spin bolduc in kandahar where human rights violations according to him are recurring. but that's all part of the tension. beyond the urban areas, there is a build of tension north of the capitol at the moment. just bring us up to speed all we know about what's going on there. yes, and also the capital is area cool. the can she, she can share valley an area that developed a reputation for resistance initially against the russians in the 19 eighties and an area that the taliban has never taken control of each. now, under the control of

a group calling itself the national resistance front and is led by a man called bassoon, the son of a very famous fighter who for the russians who was actually killed assassinated in 2000. and one masood is demanding from the tyler bond that he's group, once proof of an all inclusive, ethnically diverse clue, really stick government he has was through, but to be around $3000.00 fighters under his command as we know the tyler bon, promising. that certainly the statements that have been made here in kabul, but also worryingly thousands of all about fighters. we understand now have surrounded that valley, the pan shift valley. it doesn't seem as if any kind of negotiation so far this stage are going particularly well. so there is there that, that could well be some heavy compensation in that area. and as the child about basically trying to take control of the last area of it,

hold up all that kind of stand which they haven't controlled in the last 20 years. and of course, this has huge worry ramifications for more displacement of people and for these ongoing air lift of evacuation out of college level. indeed, charles, another thing that the basset mentioned in the address of the human rights council was the fact that the appeal to countries to maintain the board is to be open. of course the skies need to be clear across i've got this done. so all of those evacuees kind of leave, i suppose, eyes in terms of the board of being open will be to the west and pockets tom, when they look at the total carbon chairman borders, to the north and, and also to iran. i mean, these countries all heavily involved in trying to make sure participants, maybe not iran, but certainly pakistan, but they couldn't maintain a diplomatic conversation with the taliban to make sure those one to leave candidly, whether it be through those land borders or to make sure the apple stays open

a great deal of tension. now, the cobbled international app old that's right. the lines of people still there. the crowds trying to get into the airport. we left the airport watching kate maybe yesterday we came in through the through the southern gate. we've been told that that gate was going to be a lot less crowded. it was far from that thousands of people queued up. a lot of tell about fights is a great sense of tension. we've seen these areas as well. we seen flash points in recent days, which seen a fire fight between what was described as an identified government. and i can remember the afghan security forces killed on monday night. so yes, still so much focus on the airport, whether the deadline is, is going to be, it's going to be expanded. it's going to be delayed, a lot of pressure on the bite and ministration for that to happen. but this,

we know that's all about have said that august, the 31st is a red line and they say that there will be consequences if that red line is crossed . what those consequences all remains to be seen. it's bad to say though, that at this stage, the telephone want some sort of international legitimacy. they want to be taken seriously. they say they have changed. and they also are in dire need of money around $9000000000.00 that is being frozen by the us of money being held in us bank accounts. so there is a lot of pressure on the taliban politically. villa, terribly, economically financially. and of course, with respect to human rights, which has been the great focus of this meeting happening in france, sorry, of the un human rights council today. and a child's course will continue to depend with both you in cobbler correspondence or in the country. and of course, keep an eye on what's going on in geneva to throughout the day, charles dropped for the senior correspondent in cobble the us vice president,

come out, come, harris says address the situation of got his son during her visit to singapore. however, said that while her country is quote, laser focused on the evacuation from cobble, washington is looking to advance his interest in the east singapore. it's her 1st stop and at all of the asia pacific region where concerns are being raised about increasing chinese influence the possible strangers most popular states have begun. 9th, because he's to contain the latest outbreak of k with 19 new south wales has been struggling to limit adult variant infection under and away across the country cycle 0 covert policy. but in new zealand, the government is hoping to increase its saxon nation rates during another nationwide lockdown wayne. he explains. enlarged parts of sydney, the streets and now off limits at night. around 2000000 people have been ordered to stay home from 9 in the evening until 5 in the morning. the curfew covers areas of

city most affected by the latest outbreak of the covert 19 delta variance. any one cord violating it could be fined and ordered to isolate for 14 days. but as the new restrictions were coming in, the leader of new south wales was already talking about easing some for people who were fully vaccinated. that's now around 30 percent of the state's population. obviously our 1st and foremost priority is to protect human life until it's fairly as possible while we do that. but we also have to accept that there's been no fatal nation on the planet that's escaped. the delta strain that's escape having cases and we just have to be real about that. but the handling of the situation by new south wales has increased tension with the leaders of other states. they say the virus must be suppressed before lockdown can be relaxed. sydney was slow to impose restrictions at the start of the outbreak leading to cases in other australian cities. and new zealand. new zealand has one of the lowest infection rates in the

world, but like australia, it also has a low vaccination rate, which is partly why the government says it will continue with its strategy of trying to eliminate the virus while speeding up vaccinations before beginning to open its borders early next year. in response to new zealand spoof positive cases in 6 months, prime minister jacinta rod durn ordered a nationwide lockdown. it was introduced last week and has already been extended until at least friday in the largest city oakland. its been extended until the end of the month. it's a tough time for businesses like fledgling events, company, red herring, but polling suggest there is public support for the government strategy of short, sharp lock downs. we just had a crazy amount of time that we had no coverage in the country which is allowed for us to run our we're going to have mass gathering up by that. although, right now, no, i do. we just know that if you do, just wait for it to get stamped out. it's worth the long run. with cases rising

each day, the prospect of having those mass gatherings anytime soon seems a long way away. but the government believes if the latest lockdown is working, the numbers could begin falling in the next few days. wayne hey, al jazeera toner, new zealand theory says under the former balls of the t o, the court old bank to mexican authorities, eduardo orlando. felix was in charge of a vast drug smuggling operation along the us board. and i said, 13 years and 15 year prison sentence in the us before being ported, he's been really arrested in mexico and organized crime charges and emergency crews in the u. s. state of california struggling to contain another fine that is destroyed more than 600 buildings. the cycle counter 5 began on august 14th. it's been more than 400 square kilometer so far. 24000 people have been moved. that's what i learned about the more news just after the break, to stay with us here onto there.

ah, the grim consequences of mexico's bloody drug. watch the people around you, mr. governor, you've got people who are with the narco, through the eyes of the journalist, determined to report the truth. your government is full of narcan, she said, that's how the article should start 60 years on we revisit the report is still risking their lives being another outbreak. violence of more versus with you on the rewind, the deadly beat on algebra. latin america is a region of wonder joy, tragedy, and yes of violet. but it doesn't matter where you are. you'll have to be able to relate to the human condition. the way i've been covering all of latin america for most of my career,

but no country is alike, and it's my job to shed light on how and why in countries like mine, people have been killed to be william. the united states have privatized the ultimate public war. this was a deal with saudi arabia. things were done differently. saudis, and other areas, when they came to britain to be all to help the bomb steal your from. so this meeting, saddam, isn't that interesting there. i am shadow on al jazeera. we town the untold story. ah, we speak when others don't. ah, we cover all sides. no matter where it takes a police fan of your guys and power in pasha,
