the prime minister clamped down on the press covering the waves. the news is covered the listening post on a just on the un ones of a hunger crisis and kind of some adding to the challenges facing the countries new taliban rulers. ah, i'm all about this in, this is all just have a life and they'll have also coming up. this is a ruthless group from the past. and whether or not they change remains to be seen. us defense change to keep an eye on the taliban and insist the afghan war hasn't been fought in vain. 73 students have been kidnapped and yet another attack in

nigeria all surrounding schools have been ordered to close on the strictest. fancy abortion law in the us comes with a force in texas, finding the procedure up to 6 weeks of pregnancy. ah, we begin with that kind of stuff where the taliban is now in charge of a country in crisis is expected to form a government over the coming days. but there's no word yet on the safe relocation of thousands of people who still want to leave. the un says food could run out in just a month, and that isn't enough cash to buy basic supplies. speaking from couple on wednesday, the un humanitarian coordinator in the country, said one in 3 afghans is facing hunger. condition has gone from human data and perspective continues to be extremely tense. as i speak to you today from couple more than half of the children do not have it tonight or not. and that's the

reality of the situation that face on the ground makes the really concerned about the future of the social sector. as there will be all the limitations in ability to see saturdays of the teachers and education workers and those social sector workers be paid because most of the budget they choose to pay the extra k from the for an aide. and right now, we don't have budgeted provisions to cover those those assets to work. well since a ton of on to power 2 weeks ago, i've kind of sounds, economy has stalled. the groups ordered banks to reopen in a bid to help families get food in the table, but the price of basic goods has skyrocketed as a currency plumbers. vegetables now cost up to 50 percent more petrol. prices are up by 75 percent. families have been shut off from cash sent by relatives abroad

because money transfer companies have closed. about 40 percent of of ghana, standard economy used to be supported by aid, but much of that has disappeared. it's got $9000000000.00 in foreign reserves, but that's held outside the country and out of reach of the taliban, exact, and previously served as the us treasury department, financial latasha at the embassy in tumble. he says, things are going to get worse because the company is losing value. the situation afghans dan is quite dire right now. many, even before this crisis, many afghans were living well below the poverty line. as of last year, roughly 90 percent of african, or about $35.00 or $36000000.00 people lived on less than $2.00 a day. and this is from former president ghani. so the situation has been very challenging. the international community and the united states had previously stepped in to provide tremendous assistance to the afghan people. but the situation were in today is cause directly because the taliban withdrew from people

negotiations and a peaceful, political process and engage in the violent takeover of atkinson. and unfortunately, there are terrible consequences for their misguided action. well, we're seeing the impact through inflation. the cost of every day, goods are going up and the afghan people's ability to pay for those good has not changed. there isn't more money coming to the system. so these are costing more money. and so people are not able to buy the same amount of things they had before for basic goods like we like bread like rice, like petrol. and so those challenges are spreading across the country. the country is having challenges bringing in money. and so we're also seeing that the currency depreciate the afghani against the u. s. dollar and against other foreign currencies. mean that you can buy fewer. you are afghans with, we can buy more, you ask any with the price of a dollar. but if you wrapped in it can be obtained as well. and we're seeing those

huge lines around banks. and that did another nother very large challenge. the taliban surrounded the only province resisting its occupation and talks to negotiate. a settlement failed. the rugged mountain area of i've kind of stands punch. value is north of couple people. they are resistant taliban roles. during the 1990 s. dozens of people were killed on tuesday when taliban forces launched a renewed assault on punch. here. technicians from katara been arriving in pakistan, then i'm gonna stand to help get couples airport operating again. it was damaged during the recent evacuations that we still working, but the terminal and air traffic control to need repairs. the carter is a spokeswoman for the cost of the foreign minister. she's been explaining doe has plans for the aviation experts. it sent a couple and a conversation with cnn. it's been also upon the request of our international partners that we work with, the power there on the ground in front of sun to as you the operations in the

airport so that the outbound flights as well as the inbound flights, can just resume normal operations as you can imagine after many experts have left the country and after the operators and many of them have been foreigner. companies basically, and experts have fled. the country by the band is left with very, very little expertise to, to run the airport. that's one aspect of it. the other aspect is actually the actual infrastructure. it seems like many of the equipment is damaged or actually was taken well that i still questions about what went wrong with the plan. departure of us forces from off canister and that helped defense troops had been facing the press for the 1st time since the end of the withdrawal. they said the war hasn't been fault in vain. political. he has been at the time to come these are the men in charge of running the us military, ultimately responsible for carrying out the president's orders. now defending that

withdrawal from afghanistan, it was her, oh it, it was historic duty to focus on the fact that they say 124000 people were evacuated in a hostile environment. but that leaves out the questions. how could the intelligence be so wrong about the strength of the taliban? why was in such a chaotic situation. why weren't they able to get out all americans and the 10s of thousands of afghans they pledge to help during disorderly evacuation? that's all $175.00 people killed, including 13 us service members from a suicide attack near the airports. that they said are questions for later. cannot also say that no operation is ever perfect. i will tell you that we will do what we always do, and that is to, to look at ourselves and do after action reviews and, and we want to make sure that we learn every lesson i can be learn from this

experience. they may be questioning themselves in private, but allies are doing it publicly in the most you, we do not need another such job political event to rest, that you must strive for greater decision making to autonomy and greater capacity for action and throughout. the disappearance was less about reassuring allies than their own troops. the emotion of this moment made clear by the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. this is tough stuff. war is hard. it's vicious, it's brutal. it's unforgiving. and yes, we all have pain and anger, and when we see what is unfolded over the last 20 years, and over the last 20 days, that creates pain and anger. the mission now is to try and contain the political fall out and figure out what went wrong. well, trying to reassure the troops that 20 years of war were worth it, even though they left the taliban back in control using their equipment and celebrating what they say was the total defeat of united states. petty clean l g 0

. washington state college or former us assistant secretary of state. he explains the circumstances under which the taliban and the u. s. could work together. well, there is a narrow, common interest fighting the islamic state and the horse on a lot depends on what the taliban have learned. in 20 years. outside of power of the united states had almost nothing in common with them as late as 2001. they have successfully worked together on this evacuation. but now the united states will look, for example of to taliban pledges. for people who want to leave, will they be able to leave? what will happen to women and girls in the country? you know, so i think as the taller bon secures the country,

if they secure the country, you know, what kind of government will they form, how inclusive will that be? i think it's going to take some time, probably a month for the united states to assess what kind of relationship it thinks it can have with it's all about in the future. i do think the taller bond is going is discovering already that it is easier to run an insurgency going to run a country. they're going to need help. clearly, what kind of international assistance are the open to, how will that be delivered? you know, to what effect, you know, so there is some leverage. but i think that's one of the reasons why secretary defense austin will be traveling to the region. a group of gun one has abducted 73 students in northwest nigeria. the children were taken from a secondary school in the remote village of kaya and some for the state. all schools in the state to be in order to close more than 1000 students have been kidnapped nigeria since december. attacks are often carried out by criminal gangs

who hold the students for ransom. fidelis and bias following developments from the capital of boucher. the kidnapping happened to wednesday morning when gunmen riding on motorcycles have gone to the government secretary school kaya, which is in my model, you said the hometown of the state governor and abducted the students. nobody knows where they've been taking to. but people were suspecting that they would have been taken to a very big forest, which on the boundary of the states we call the states in the northwest region of the country. this is just happening 5 barely 5 days after some type of students will release these web students, hopefully higher efficiency, the same done for state. so the police fadia trying to find the location where the student have been taking to and or the military. and part of military security perhaps also be mobilized to see if they can present the doctors to be able to

rescue these children. but the parents have been advised to hold on and be patient why these positions have been carried out. but again, you may actually turn out to be another round of negotiations for around some payment before these children will be released. israel's foreign minister says it's a bad idea for the us to plan to reopen. it's considered an east jerusalem as a base for diplomatic contact with palestinian. yeah, to repeat, it says the move could destabilize is just relatively new coalition government palestinian sea, east jerusalem as a capital of their future state. we have an interesting yet delegate structure of government and we think this might destabilize this government and i don't think the american administration wants this to happen. so most for

political reason in politics is and policies always mix and both on the logical and for the logical reasons. susan is the sovereign capital of israel and israel alone. and therefore, we don't think it's a good idea. we know that the ministration has the different way of looking at this, but since this is happening in israel, we are sure that they're listening to us very carefully when we explain to them our point of view. and this is still ahead and i'll just say to why the struggle to get citizens and allies out of couple could lead to the creation of an you rapid reaction force on people who side louisiana before. how to can ida hits are being ours and not to return home. ah, ah,

it's time for the journey to winter sponsored by cut on airways. hello, hope september's off through good start for you weather wise across the middle east . it's pretty well unchanged. we've got hot sunshine and temperature is above average. as we look toward back that 45 degrees q 845. i don't also above average with a high of 41 degrees next for go into pakistan and we may see some might mon sooner moisture just clipped. southern areas karachi, i'm going to put the risk of some showers in there for you. not expecting some drenching rains, however, with a high of 32 degrees after turkey and the black sea region getting hit hard again with them. heavy falls, particularly toward the ne, impacting places. once again, like our hobby rate up against the border with georgia, it's stumble. we'll look for a high of 27 degrees on thursday. after the tropics of africa, we've got to storms, where we would expect to see, particularly through the ethiopian highlands, south sudan into the democratic republic of congo. temperatures are bouncing back

through south africa. look at this, keep down 18 degrees jo, 24 durban, 26 degrees, but we will have to contend with them fairly breezy conditions. and so let me show you those. so you know what to prepare for. i could see wind gusts up to 55 kilometers per hour, and those will spread to the eastern cape as well. that's it for me. sponsored power cut on airways in countries like mine, people have been killed to be when 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 roms deals. hello your from so this meeting, saddam, is it that interesting there i am. shadow on al jazeera. ah

ah ah, you want to remind our top so is this are the un says food enough kind of stuff could run out in just a month and there isn't enough cash to buy basic supplies. it's one of our humanitarian catastrophe, with $1.00 and $3.00 off guns, no facing hunger. top pentagon officials say the water enough, canada hasn't been fault in vain. but senior military commander general mock many uses that we are watching to see if the taliban remains as ruthless as it has been in the past. a group of gunman has abducted 73 students in north, west virginia. the children were taken from a secondary school and the remote village of chi up in some states. all schools in the states have been ordered to close. i've gone to fans,

former deputy speaker of parliament fazio coffee is in cut out after fleeing taliban rule. coffee began her political career after the fall of the taliban government in 2001. she survived several assassination attempts, but that's not stopped from advocating for the rights of women. she's been speaking to dosage of audi. how do you assess the quick taliban takeover? it took them about 10 days to take control of the country and the us troops were still present, right? because nobody has been in many places, the police and army actually had under themselves to them. and in some other places, the security forces flee without even talking about prisons in some of the places that i have present. ton of them came a day or 2 days later, the security forces lead a country i think because as i said before, production, lack of mood on the dependency was the reason for corruption and lack of course

leadership from the couple. well, let's now talk about women. as you mentioned that about you, of course, in your life's work into your 2012 memoir, the favorite daughter, you talk about the hardship of being a woman and scan a son, and you describe how your parents rejected you because of your gender and how the day you were born, you were left out to die in the sun. you survived and became afghanistan's 1st female deputy speaker of parliament. what kept you going, what was your motivation? the fact that i have suffered so much as a woman. my mother suffered so much of the woman, and i have fit every woman that carried the burden of what's going on in the country kept me moving forward. what i have seen during the time, the 1st from the holiday and power, gave me the reason to come to politics, although my father was a member to follow me. but this was not what i wanted to be. but what i have gone to, as a woman,

gave me the reason to change things for others. because i know that it's actually the woman who, who always have to pay the highest price. it's the woman and the goes. if it's what they have to be lose your life. loved ones. if it is these lose the opportunities. when you watch the full interview with kind of stands, former deputy speak it upon fuzzy coffee on talk to to 0. that's on friday at $1630.00 g m t. russian president vladimir putin has criticized america's lengthy involvement and i've kind of dancing 20 years of war achieved nothing. i mean, he can ski re sca american troops for present and get this done for 20 years. and over those 20 years, they were trying and this can be said without offending anyone to civilize the local people. but in fact, they were trying to impose their norms and standards of life. the new result was tragedies and losses for the united states. and especially for the people who live in afghanistan, this is a 0 results. and while the way the us and the war enough can stand,

has re ignited debate among european leaders about becoming less reliant on america . and it's military is lavinia, they've started talking about a possible e u rapid reaction force. we do not know the such jo, political event to grasp that you must twice for greater decision making to autonomy and greater capacity for action duels. do you have been union city's mr. protect interest to defend individuals and there was based to national order to promote. and of course, we kind of each know to teach developments in the world. we do not meet more strategic tournament because we want to be stronger and more influential because we want to have greater impact. and because we want to strengthen alliances,

natasha battle has more from paris. the head of the european union council was talking at a conference in slovenia when he made those comments. and basically, what he has been say is that you must learn lessons from the afghanistan crisis, namely that i can no longer necessarily rely on the united states that you heard that show. michelle saying that the you must become more with one that's more independent when it comes to defense when it comes to security. and his comments basically echo those that we've heard for these foreign policy. chief us burrell can recently say that it is clear to those in the european union that the u. s. is disengaging with the international see more and more, and that is why many in the you and now calling for the european union to become a lot more independent as i said in terms of defense and security will borrow is

due to address m p 's members of the european parliament, and he is expected of course, to talk about getting them in in north america. more people under the age of 50 of in hospital with covered 19 that at any point in the pen demik, as, according to the pan american health organization, it says infection rates are surging in the region. the health agency is also appealing for more vaccines from south america and the can be and where it says 3 quarters of people have not been fully immunized in calling on countries with excess jobs to share them urgently. and you have the world health organization says will better prepare the world for future. pandemic has been opened in berlin, german challenge for the i'm going to marco, join the w h o director general at the opening. the focus of the facility will be on data sharing and innovation. and so this will help governments identify new

infectious diseases more quickly. the german government is investing $100000000.00 in the facility on the sky. if somebody ends up, it's about collecting data from all over the world, putting it together and evaluate, and results of that sensor will be shared with all countries on the curve at $91010.00. it also showed what we can do when we truly join forces from around the world have been expanding their knowledge and an incredible rate and sharing it to decode the corona virus. the state of texas not has the most extreme abortion laws in the country. the procedures been banned from just 6 weeks into pregnancy, but many women don't even know they're pregnant. that early the new law makes no exceptions for rape or incest. an attempt to stop the law from being implemented, there's just been rejected by the u. s. supreme court and galico reports on wednesday, the so called fetal heartbeat bill of texas became law making it one of the

strictest abortion measures in the us. this is now the only state binding abortions after a heartbeat has been detected at around 6 weeks before many women even realize they're pregnant. texas governor greg abbott, signed the bill in may with the expectation of legal challenges they work together on a bipartisan basis to pass a bill that i'm about to son. that ensures that the life of every unborn child who has a heartbeat will be saved from the ravages of abortion. by midnight on tuesday, clinics across the state were turning women away, who are more than 6 weeks pregnant, were having really difficult conversations where patients are filled with anguish and worry and fear as they try to figure out what's next to them. i'm in health group say it amounts to a total ban on abortion, but the new law also empowers ordinary citizens to su abortion providers. and those

who help women get the procedure. we think that we could see lawsuit against a huge range of people including frontline workers. that health center is including counselors to provide genetic counseling to someone about their pregnancy and ultimately refer them for an abortion if that's what the patient wants. several other states mostly in the conservative south, have tried passing similar abortion restrictions with mixed success. pro abortion rights group, say the legal push, maybe leading up to a direct challenge to the 1973 landmark roe v wade federal ruling that gave women the right to seek an abortion state of mississippi is now directly challenging that constitutional rights. and with a more conservative leaning supreme court, it may be the biggest test in decades. we certainly have reason to fear what the supreme court will deal with this stretch challenge to row and what's happening today and going forward. and texas is deeply alarming because they may have found

a blueprint for rolling back a portion access regardless of what the supreme court decides with the jackson women's health case. access to abortions as long been a divisive and deeply political issue in the us. that momentum seems to be gathering pace to challenge the choice of women across this nation. and galico al jazeera people from louisiana having told not to return to their homes after seeing that before hearken, ida hit 3 days after the category for hudson sweat through the region. more than a 1000000 homes and businesses are still without an tricity in water. 2 more people have been confirmed dad, bringing the total to 6 state officials are now wanting. there's a shortage of medical care and emergency shelters. years president joe biden is declared to an emergency in california as firefighters. they are baffled to safe communities in a popular resort area, strong winds are making it difficult to stop the fire spreading towards lake tahoe, the famous of scots, more than 800 square kilometers of land in just 2 weeks. around 50000 people who

and transparent election didn't exist. in fact, they say they still have no guarantee much, but the change of heart is proof that they no longer believe that continuing to best on a self proclaimed interim government. led by opposition leader one by law is feasible for reading the path about the belief in we'll continue trading because we cannot continue leaving a fantasy. president nicole asthma ludo congratulated the opposition but could not resist taking a jab wise all who had favored boycotting the elections. again. i told my wife sylvia to get some good popcorn because i'm going to sit in my arm chair in front of the tv with my popcorn to see one white oh, hold on november 21st and there i will applaud because we managed to include him in democracy again to include him in the constitution, mcgruder has good reason to celebrate. he hopes opposition, participation in the elections will ease international pressure and cope restore

diplomatic recognition by many latin american and north american countries. participating in the elections also gives you our position a chance to gain ground, especially while carrying out intense negotiations with the government to recover the independence of venezuela's democratic institutions. why dont responded to my ludo tweeting, get serious. we all know there are no guarantees of a free and fair election. that's exactly why you are sitting at a negotiating table with those of us who are demanding a literal and political guarantees. and a time table for future elections. mother was demanding that the united states and great britain, we moved this economic sanctions in exchange for progress being made in the internationally sponsored negotiations taking place in mexico city. for that to happen, the government will have to be prepared to make concessions that until now have been unthinkable to see in human houses. era footballers might have
