all in south korea has been transformed from west offender bill by leader in foot recycling, either reporting on how your technology is making this possible. in kenya, i mean the farmer and santi, what he did, the oil, the 11th or dependent was life. or just for me. ready the news the un warnings of hunger crisis and i'm gonna start adding to the challenges facing the country's view taliban rulers. ah, i'm robotics and this is the 0 live from don't have also coming up towards fail between the taliban and leaders of the only province left out of its control. the u . s. supreme court refuses to block the country's strictest anti abortion law

that's come into force in texas and 73 students have been kidnapped in yet another attack in nigeria. all surrounding schools have been ordered to close. ah. we're going to begin in afghanistan, where the taliban is now in charge of a country in crisis. it's expected to form a government over the coming days, but there is 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 there 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. tradition of human data in perspective continues to be stimulated 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 makes it really concerned about the future of the social sector . as there will be all these limitations in the ability to see it. saturday of the teachers and education workers and those social sector workers be paid because most of the budget issues to be the salary as extra k from the for an aide. and right now, we don't have to do provisions to cover those. those support for the taliban has surrounded the only province resisting its occupation and talks to negotiate. a settlement have failed. the rugged mountain area of afghanistan's punch of valley is north of couple people there, resisted taliban during the 1990. dozens of people were killed on tuesday when taliban forces lost a renewed assault on punch here. rama brides. joining us now live from couple the

situation in punch years. sounds as though it's not going anywhere. what do we know about what's happening there at the moment? first of all yeah, i think that the situation there remains extremely tense around here with that i build up of taliban units, taliban fighters all around. so not completely surrounding the valley that have been taught ongoing about and it goes to a few, some sort of surrender from the, from the resistance movement that much as we've seen in other parts of afghanistan have been at times it looked as though those tools were going to produce the breakthrough, but the latest is that now those talk according to taliban, so it's have stalls and that the taliban have actually been appealing to people in the past year to try to put pressure on their leaders to to recognize the islamic camera, to come around to basically give out, give up any thoughts of resistance, but as they do this is it continues that have been some classes reported also to

some civilians have been leaving from the valley. clearly expecting that these classes i'll go into worth and that we remain to be seen just what happens, that whether it will escalate or whether they told will redo the punch. it was the traditional home of resistance. it was 20 years ago with a so called northern alliance, that was where they were based, but the situation is very different. now. 20 years on it is far more isolation, the age cut off. it doesn't have the same kind of support and links with other parts or pockets of resistance in the north of afghanistan. they simply don't exist this time, but of course they don't have as they did 20 years ago, the united states called on put support to call and asked strikes and so on. so every made a pretty precarious situation where the resistance movement in that value remains to be seen. what will happen? and as i was just talking about a couple of minutes ago that the taliban expected to be putting together some sort of government in the, in the next few days. all of that, of course,

against the backdrop of warnings from the u. n. about the food crisis, but also a limited access. in fact, we've virtually no access to cash from foreign funds or funds, but it's got a broad or need any aid that's right. i mean this, the government, whatever the look of this you government, they will have a man in a crisis to deal with one on stacked on top of another. that talks have been continuing down in kandahar to to decide exactly what the light of the government will be. we don't know the, all of the individuals who would be involved, but we are being told again this, these watch words have inclusive, etc, etc, that it will be respectful of human rights, women's rights. but within the framework of islamic law, we're also told that possibly that will be some full members of a former administration, but just how senior they will be. remains in question, have a tool that comes out at the supreme leader. all the taliban is expected to take

some important leading role in this new government. but that again remains to be seen just what that role will be. but as we've already said, that when this government is announced that his per diem of the, to be down here is backing cobble itself as a continuing government. they will have all of these different problems to deal with, most notably now with these renew warnings about the food situation here in afghanistan and the fact that within a month or so, the cold weather, the winter months approach afghanistan might be running out of food, which which is it next, which is probably the most important problem for it to deal with. i don't so the fact that report suggested maybe up to a 3rd of the population is actually going to bed hungry at the moment. not going to stand. so i look at whichever government and whatever the government looks like, a lot of problems for it to be dealing with in the coming days and wait. well, thanks very much indeed that sort of bright talking to this from couple while that

us to questions about what went wrong with the plan departure of us forces. the top defense chiefs had been facing the press for the 1st time since the end of the withdrawal. they say the war hasn't been fought in vain. practical have has been to the pentagon. 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 it such a chaotic situation? why weren't they able to get out all americans? and the 10s of thousands of afghans they pledged to help during disorderly evacuation? that's all 175 people killed,

including 13 us service members from 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 twice for greater decision made into autonomy and greater depression . for action 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 in 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 the united states. teddy glean l g 0, washington. the state of texas now 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 has just been rejected by the u. s. supreme court. and he 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 feel lawsuit against a huge range of people, including frontline workers. that health center is including counselors, 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 groups say the legal push maybe leading up to a direct challenge to the 1973 landmark roe v wade federal ruling. they gave women the right to seek an abortion state of mississippi, as 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 direct challenge to ro and what's happening today and going forward. and texas is deeply alarming because they may have found

a blueprint for rolling back abortion. accept regardless of what the supreme court decides with the jackson case access to abortions as long with a divisive and deeply political issue in the u. s. that momentum seems to be gathering pace to challenge the choice of women across this nation. and to galico al jazeera, a group of gunman, abducted 73 students in northwest and nigeria. the children were taken from a secondary school in the remote village of kaya and some father of state. all schools in the state of, in order to close more than 1000 students have been kidnapped in nigeria since december. the tax are often carried out by criminal gangs who hold the students for runs from fidelis and bias following developments from the capital allusion. the kidnapping happened to wednesday morning when gunmen riding on motorcycles have become a synchronous school kaya, which is in my room. margot is said, the hometown the state governor and abducted the students. nobody knows where

they've been taking too. 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 often higher decisions in the same gunfire state so deeply fadia trying to find the location where these children have been taking to and or the military and part of military security perhaps will 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, my actually turn out to be another round of negotiations for around some payment before the student will be released. still ahead of knowledge, is it a venezuela's? l position ends a 4 year election. the boy caused, we'll hear why they've had

a change of heart and safety 1st trouble, clothing companies sign a deal on workplace standards in bangladesh. ah ah, hello hope september's after a good start for you weather wise across the middle east. it's pretty well unchanged. we've got hot sunshine and temperatures above average. as we look toward back that 45 degrees q 845. i don't also above average with the 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 some heavy falls, particularly toward the ne, impacting places. once again,

like our hobby rate up against the border with georgia, it's dembo will look for a high of 27 degrees on thursday. after the tropics of africa, we've got her 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 town. 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 when goes up to 55 kilometers per hour, and those will spread to the eastern cape as well. that's it for me. the who's 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 bombs deal. zillow your from so was meeting saddam. is it that interesting? there i am. shadow on al jazeera. ah. the a reminder of our top stories this are you in the sense food, enough kind of stuff to run out in just a month and there isn't enough cash to buy basic supplies. it's warning over humanitarian catastrophe. one and we, afghans, now facing hunger, top pentagon officials said the war enough can't stand,

hasn't been caught in vain. but senior military commander general mark milly says they'll be watching to see if the taliban remains as ruthless as it has been in the past. the us supreme court has refused to stop the implementation of an extreme abortion law that's been enacted in texas bands most terminations by prohibiting the procedure after 6 weeks of pregnancy. and that includes cases of rape and incest. well, let's get more on that controversial measure. victoria robinson's a pro life advocating, she's joining us on skype from nashville in tennessee. thanks very much indeed for being with us on al jazeera. one of the criticisms of this, this law is the fact that it appears to be at 2 invasive. that's one of the arguments has put forward by those who oppose it. that because it is limiting any action to after a 6 week prior to a 6 week period. of course that is a period during which many women wouldn't know that they are pregnant. that essentially just wipes out any options that women may have. how do you feel about

this law, taking your fax and having such a significant impact on the options for women? well, thank you for having the rob. i think today the monumental encouraging set forward for human rights. i am a woman who shows abortion over 30 years ago and had this law been in place at that time, my son would be alive today. so what i would say to that is, of course i'm celebrating today. it's not just about saving the lives of the unborn . the most innocent. the most innocent and most normal in our country is also about the fact that these men and women, these parents who are making decisions out of fear, out of their they don't know what to do. they're very vulnerable, but they're manipulated by a multi $1000000000.00 abortion industry into believing it's their only option when it isn't their only option. so what this is going to do is give men and women a time to take a part and to, to find that there are other,

other ways of headache, you know, the challenge that they're, they're facing head on other than abortion. so i think it's any of my mental day to celebrate you say that it gives people a pause, which would suggest that they have a pause in which to think which makes perfect sense. but then at the end of that pause, they have an option under this law, they have no option. if they take a pause, they are going to end up with a child that could, as i'm sure you know, the arguments far better than i do. who may well be putting the may well, we put at risk or the lives of the parents may well be thrown in into turmoil. when you say that there is a pause, this is all about choice isn't said. and this law essentially eradicates that option of choice. well, 1st of all, rob, it's texas. thank god protest. this is the only state right now that has this law in place. if, if a woman is determined to abort her child,

she'll be able to drive across state lines to another state to have her abortion. this law is only keeping a woman from having an abortion in texas. so yes, i do. i feel agree with the heart belie i'm, i'm thrilled that it's happened. i am a woman. as i said, he had an abortion. i'm a woman who does after abortion recovery, then i have been for 26 years and i meet women and men who are devastated by the choice of choosing abortion. and the abortion industry manipulates in life. so the people at the most horrible time of their life, they deserve to hear all the facts. and when it's a rush decision, they're not getting them. and when it's a multi $1000000000.00 industry, they're not going to take the time to tell them. so the reasons in my opinion that the abortion industry is having such an issue with a bill like this. so with a law like this is because it's going to affect their bottom line has nothing to do

with women's health and women's rights and women's choice. it has to do with the bottom line, which is it's a multi $1000000000.00 industry and it's going to put a dent in there. bottom line. let me ask you about another significant element of this law, which it also empowers ordinary citizens to be able to sue abortion providers and those that help women forget the procedure. now, what is the rest? do you think of shifting that responsibility from the states, from the legislature to individuals who would then put pressure on bring legislation against pete medical personnel who are in many cases just doing their job. they may not be the ones actually carrying out the operations, but they are simply part of the process. but they get caught up in they, the legislation caught up in any sort of legal action that could be brought them, brought against them by individual people,

as opposed to the legislative i would say that i'm an individual person and if i decide tomorrow to go shoot somebody, my neighbor because they their dog desiccated all my property, i'm going to go to jail, so there's law against it. so with this law in place, they're going to have a choice, but i want to reach out to there because i do understand the argument that you're trying to make. but at the same time, if you tired, if you do do something like in the example you've just use that legal action is going to be brought by the state. it's not going to be necessarily brought by an individual in the 1st instance, whereas this is the difference. we're going to have people who can choose to take legal action against medical medical professionals who are involved in this process to okay, i understand you're saying rob, and here's the, here's the thing that i'm trying to say. i'm a woman. as i said, he's been through it. if i could have gone back after listening to the lives of the

abortionist, he told me it was nothing but a blob of tissue in a clump of cells that it was never going to affect me in any way. physically, psychologically, emotionally, if i could go back now knowing what i know now to see him, i'd be the 1st one in line. so if the doctor want to be honest with these women who are coming in for abortions to let them know your baby has a heart beat, your babies already being formed. let them know the truth and let them make an educated decision. i am not saying i don't think women should have a choice. i'm probably more pro choice rob than pro choice people. i think that what i'm against is women not having all the facts. women deserve to know the truth . so if these doctor don't want to be at risk of being sued, as you say, by that individual woman who later on is affected greatly by choosing abortion because he lied to her and told her things that were not true. hey,

then he should get a different job. let me ask you briefly. in that case, if it was, if a law was brought in to ensure that medical professionals would give exactly the information that you want put to to prospective mothers. and at the end of that, the mother then chose to have an abortion. would you accept that i'm not ever going to accept of worship because i'm a woman who had an abortion. for me, let me, let me rephrase it. would you accept that woman? the woman to that forgive me for interrupting, but i'm not making myself clear. would you accept? not necessarily the abortion would you accept the woman's rights to choose having received the, all the information that you believe that she should have had i have no rights to force anyone to do anything. none. i counsel women who come to me who are considering abortion, and i give them the fax we, we talk it out, i find them the resources they need to help them for the reasons that they're

thinking they need to choose abortion. and when i can meet those needs, most of them say, you know what, i don't really want to do this. i don't think women walk in abortion clinics every day wanting to in the life of their children. i think they don't feel they have support or they've got the resources available to them. so they are easily manipulated, as i said by an abortion industry. but those women who come to me rob, they don't all choose life. those women sometimes do feel shoes, abortion that's there, right? there is nothing i could do about it, and i also don't judge or condemn them for that. that's their choice. and i'll tell you this, rob, when they call me whether it's 6 months later, a month later or 2030 years later and say i need help. because i'm dealing with the ramifications of choosing abortion. some 30 years ago. i'm going to answer the phone and i'm going to help them victoria robinson pro life advocate. we appreciate your being and i'll just, you know, thank you very much. indeed. thanks for having me. tropical storm ida has brought

flooding to the u. s. east coast. there are reports of homes being destroyed in new jersey and in new york city, a state of emergency has been declared after record breaking rain like flooding. there comes 4 days after i made landfall in the southern states of louisiana as a powerful category for how to can, but it's now we can as president joe bindings declared an emergency in california as firefighters. there baffled to save communities in a popular resort area. strong winds are making it difficult to stop the fire spreading towards lake tahoe, the flames of scots more than 800 square kilometers of land in just 2 weeks around 50000 people have been forced to leave. as it was, foreign minister says it's a bad idea for the us to plan to reopen, it's considered in west tucson as a base for diplomatic contact with stadiums. the attitude says the move to destabilize is, is relatively new coalition government. we have an

interesting yet delegate structure of, of our government. and we think this might destabilize this government and i don't think the american administration wants this to happen . so was for political reason. and 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 that 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 on this side is all positions switching tactics after boycotting,

regional and local elections for the past 4 years. after months of internal disagreement, the main opposition correlation is a great field candidates in november, our latin america edison, the c n human has this report, would they wouldn't say that was the question that's finally been answered. why we went after a very conscious and deep analysis, we decided to participate in this electoral process regional elections to choose venezuelan governors and mares scheduled for november 21st and they know position hard. his boy caught in the last presidential elections in 2018. and the subsequent legislative elections in which they lost control of the national assembly, they argued the conditions for a fair, competitive, and transparent election didn't exist. in fact, they say they still have no guarantees, but the change of heart is proof that they no longer believe that continuing to bet

on a self proclaimed interim government. led by opposition leader one by law is feasible for reading the past about the belief in we'll continue trading because we cannot continue leaving a fantasy. president nicholas, my ludo congratulated the opposition, but could not resist taking a jab wise all who had favored point caught in the elections again. i told my wife cilia 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 then i will applaud because he managed to include him in democracy again to include him in the constitution, the buddha has good reason to celebrate. he hopes opposition, participation in the elections will ease international pressure and help restore diplomatic recognition by many you. latin american and north american countries.

participating in the elections also gives you our position a chance to gain ground, especially while carrying out intensive 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 stiff even on mac 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 and human houses era. ah,

no, that is in the headlines and the 0, the un says food enough gonna start to run out in just a month and there isn't enough cash to buy.
