1:02 pm
said britain will have to engage with the taliban, but has no plans to recognise its government. meanwhile, he gets hired counterpart, said he's government, who's working with the taliban to reopen cobbled airport as soon as possible as the taliban prepays to valley new government. afghanistan's economy is ne, collapse. prices of essential goods have sword. while the us has frozen about $10000000000.00 in national reserves mostly held abroad, the taliban is still fighting opposition and resistance in the mountains, province of pan, shia north of cobble. they've been more fighting after talks between the 2 sides failed to reach a settlement. dozens of people have been killed. meanwhile it's feed, afghanistan could run out of food within a month. the un secretary general has warned of a humanitarian catastrophe with about a 3rd of the countries 38000000 citizens icing hunger. okay, let's go to jamal al sheil, whose life for us he enjoys how, where catan,
1:03 pm
foreign minister and his counterpart from the u. k. i have just spoken jamal. thanks for joining us. what was said about the operation of the airport, which is obviously key to the humanitarian effort the well, the country from now on the time the confirm that the technical team from his country was deployed to kind of start off the 24 hours ago. they're there to assess how to get that airport up and running. obviously, a lot of it was destroyed either by the huge amount of crowd she descended on it or intentionally by the occupying american forces as they left there. so it does require some sorts of reconstruction or rebuilding, but the more important one is who is going to be running it was going to be man and gets into that the country. foreign minister said that his government was in talks with the turks as well as obviously to talk about the new world us on the ground to
1:04 pm
come up with some sorts of a mechanism. although. busy that deal hadn't yet been finalized. you did indicate or point to the fact that they do expect something to be agreed within the coming days, which was corroborated to us. that's an extent by word we're hearing from sources inside of kind of span. who said the taliban are hoping that domestic flights will be resuming in the next few days and possibly international flights within a week or so. a senior. how to resource told me that the initial flights, but i thought would be helping to operate would be either humanitarian or evacuation ones. that is their main focus for now. not necessarily civilian 1. 1 of the main takeaways from that press conference drama was the fact that rob said britain will not recognize the taliban, but sees the need to have direct involvement. how is that seem to be playing out? well, i mean that's been the same message has come from most western countries, particularly those who were involved in the invasion and occupation of afghanistan
1:05 pm
. ultimately, most of these countries that either designated the taliban as a terrorist organization or at least, you know, dealt with it in that way. so there isn't or wasn't expected that there was going to be a southern turn around with regards to that rhetoric about being said, there is also a realization that there needs to be an engagement with them on the ground because 20 years of occupation has essentially left them in charge and without having those discussions, there is no way that's all the thousands of people who are evacuated over the past couple of weeks would have happened. there is an accomplishment that without having that engagement to any future discussions with the tunnel with kindness on any future relationship with of kind of fun won't really come to fruition. the military approach obviously failed over the past 20 years. and therefore,
1:06 pm
the for much of one has to happen. the question people are wondering, guess what, what is the difference between recognizing and engaging if it's not semantics, obviously there is some, and the diplomatic terms of, it's in the sense that you want to have bilateral links. you may not necessarily have an embassy and you want to have those meetings between the heads of state, certainly states officials, but behind the scenes. so many of these countries, including the u. k are having direct talks with them and we'll be coming up with agreements or deals with them all be it's not official as true on par government, jamal our sheil. thank you for that. update live for us. say in jo. ha. okay, let's course live to road mcbride. now, who's on the ground in cobble? hello there. rob. we've been hearing about this resistance force against the taliban in the north east in parts of afghanistan. why did the talks between the 2 groups failed? yeah, i mean,
1:07 pm
this is standoff has now intensified but talk have been ongoing now for some time days they've been tried to talk, trying to seek a peaceful resolution of this after the resistance, basically to lay down their arms to recognize that new government that this is a fait accompli and there's nothing to resist against but, but they, the latest talks have broken down and the, according to the taliban, it was because of the demands being made by. 2 by the resistance fighters, this resistance force being completely irrational. they have been told with on the suit he's the leader at this resistance movement, resistance of force that according to the taliban, they were seeking things like retaining, being allowed to retain their own weapons and arms. which isn't that outlandish me that's going to stand is full of groups with, with their own weapons in the space that the provinces but they apparently, according to taliban were also demanding a 3rd or 30 percent representation in the taliban and new government. which if that
1:08 pm
is true and this is done to the taliban, the version of why these talks broke down. that's the pretty extraordinary, given the relative weakness of this resistance movement. the pan ship is the home of resistance in the home of the northern alliance. it was so called 20 years ago, but compared to the northern alliance, this is a much smaller force. the northern alliance was able, justifiably to say that they represented broad sways of the northern afghanistan. it could also be those links for the us. they would call it strikes and so on. this force that we have now is nothing like that same kind of strength. so it does, does make you wonder about what they were thinking of with making these kinds of demand. so it's that taliban, it seems clear, will not be meeting the demand. and so there is a build up potential that happen more classes. we do know that the number of civilian have already left, fearing that this is going to intensify and the taliban has been appealing to
1:09 pm
people directly in punch, telling the people that look, put pressure on your deed as to come around and recognize the facts and recognize the new government in kabul and rob the taliban has been promising an inclusive government since its tango. the battle depends on its interpretation of sure. a law . have we got any more details about what kind of government we are going to be looking at and what it means? so women in afghanistan yeah, these talks are continuing down in kandahar and we are told that within the next few days or so, we will see that you line up who had the government, who is in charge of different ministries, which already give us a good indication of which way the government is heading. although we have been told again to expect these things like include devotee, respective rights, human rights, women's rights, children's rights. but all within this framework is sharea. so it does depend very much on interpretation and implementation of that. so we are expecting possibly
1:10 pm
some compromises, but you know, expecting the the taliban to stray too far from that funder mantles from the idea logical beliefs that they've held for decade to me to get they, they wouldn't straight to fall, then they wouldn't be the taliban. so they, there is an expectation or suspicion here, especially from human rights groups that wants to focus the world's attention has drifted away from cobble and the taliban. that down on the street level, at least it's prevention level and that in the suburbs. so the neighborhoods of cobbled, we might see that taliban reverting to type and going back to the very strict interpretations of sharea, which is the concern still for many groups. human rights groups. and that definitely especially women's group from mcbride. thank you for the update live for a couple. the un says food could run out in just a month and there isn't enough cash to buy basic supplies. it's humanitarian coordinator has told al jazeera,
1:11 pm
wanting 3 afghans of facing hunger. tradition of 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 makes it really concerned about the future of the social sector. and there will be all the legal patients in ability to see saturdays of the teachers and education workers and those social sector workers be paid because most of the budget we choose to pay the salary as extra k from before an aid. and right now we don't have budgeting provisions to cover those efforts before the taliban will go over afghanistan, 90 percent of the population lived in poverty and with the flow of international
1:12 pm
aid trickling to a stop. 38000000 afghans are now facing food shortages. cash is limited and transfers from relatives abroad is not possible. the un says it stock pile of emergency food for hundreds of thousands of africans will be exhausted by the end of this month. with winter approaching, the un says it needs $200000000.00 to fade the most vulnerable and needs a total of $1300000000.00 for its overall i'd if it's and the world health organization says it needs medicine for hospitals. food for mel, nourish children and supplies because 19 measures. richard brennan is the regional emergency director for the eastern mediterranean at the world health organization. he joins us live from cairo by skype. hello there. can you tell us a little bit about how critical the functioning of the airport is to this humanitarian, if it yes, what we've been saying since august the 15th, since before the central government,
1:13 pm
how important is to have regular access to the airport to bring in vitally needed medical supplies since that date, we've only been able to bring in one plane load of medical supplies urgently needed supplies. because as you've indicated right across the country, hospitals, clinics running out of essential medicines, essential disposable products and so on. right now the, the couple a port is not accepting commercial slides or 8 flights. there's going to be a lot of repairs done still there. today, we've only been able to bring one plane load of supplies into the country through the airport in missouri sharif. but we do hope that we'll have more regular, a lips starting from tomorrow. rigid, if you had a magic wand, what would you do to fix this problem? what is it that is needed right now? well, i think we need several steps taken. we need to get the airport up and running in
1:14 pm
couple. so those commercial flights can come in. we need security on the ground. so then once those supplies do arrive, we can distribute them constantly to the clinics and hospitals that need them. we also need the boarders consistently open to humanitarian assistance. there are some restrictions from the neighboring countries right now we cannot launch across a large cross border 8 operation right now because of some of the limitations of the boards we're hearing from the some western countries that they won't recognize the taliban, but they will work with the group, how does that impact the humanitarian situation on the ground? can you work with that scenario? it's usually employed, and it's a really important point for those of us working in the health sector. so the backbone of health care across afghanistan is what's called the basic package of
1:15 pm
health services project. and this was funded by international donors through the ministry of health. and it supports essential health services in over 2300 clinics and hospitals across the country. because that their own laws and regulations bows down as a now no longer allowed to channel the funding through the ministry of health. and what we're looking at is the precipitous closure of up of those health facilities as of september the 5th because they are supported by non governmental organizations. and those n g hours have a written to the government saying we can't sustain services beyond september. the 5th, this would be a precipitous and calamitous closure of health care at a time when needs skyrocketing. while we appreciate your inside search, brennan is the regional emergency director for the eastern mediterranean at the
1:16 pm
world health organization. thank you for your time, richard. thank you. thank, thank you. there is still questions about what went wrong with the departure of american forces from afghanistan. us defense chief, have been facing the press of the 1st time since the end of the withdrawal. they say the war hasn't been forced in vain. petticoat high reports from washington 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 us game, stan, 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
1:17 pm
they pledge to help during disorderly evacuation. that's all 175 people killed, including 13 us service members from a suicide attack near the airport. that they said are questions for later. and i'd 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 that can be learned from this experience. they may be questioning themselves in private, but allies are doing it publicly in much you. we do not need another such job political event to rest, that you must twice for greater decision making to autonomy and greater capacity for action throughout. and the disappearance was less about reassuring allies than their own troops. the emotion of this moment made clear by the chairman of the
1:18 pm
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. while 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. russian president vladimir putin has criticized americans. lengthy involvement in afghanistan, saying 20 years of war achieved, nothing. you can ski, vice guy, american troops were present in afghanistan for 20 years. and over those 20 years they were trying. and this can be said without offending anyone to civilize the
1:19 pm
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. ok, let's talk to al jazeera senior political analyst a mile in bashar. he joins us on skype from paris. hello, my. when britain and other western nation say they won't recognize the taliban, but they will engage. what's the difference between recognition and engagement in a practical sense? well, recognition certainly will be styled legitimacy and government. that is not clear yet what, what would be the ology or its program or its intentions in terms of relations with the outside world. while engagement is born, not a necessity, not just that it's more of nothing set than the factory alex, you know, against, on not going to just missing of
1:20 pm
a new government against the latter. the one born out of necessity that need to engage with decided by specialists who will basically make sure that there is some sort of a process, some sort of roadmap, whereby the taliban will need to make or take certain steps. the international community will take steps as well in order to stabilize the situation and in order for the taliban to be able to create what international community or the western countries hope to be an inclusive government. and inclusive here of course, is, is not exactly creating clear world's word because it could involve just a number of personalities with no political weight. or it could involve the various segments of the gun societies. so we will see how that performance katara has been playing the role of diplomatic media for years now. but it's now more
1:21 pm
important than ever. how much pressure is. so ha, i'm done. well actually there's a, there's a pressure, it's brought about by, by itself because we didn't need to do this. it separately. there's, there's a 2nd when on the part of our to carry this operation. but also there is history that has the experience after years of mediating between the united states and kind of on our insurance and credibility. and certainly it has the means and a certain sensibility as a, as a concert with the muslim society musket country or cut out, i could play a role that would be engaging on not as an outside foreign to the very slam mc or mr. in approach with which the taliban is trying to tackle issues against that because what we've heard from the corporate and foreign minister is
1:22 pm
look, we are also a country chevy. i was also plays an important role and cut our but 50 percent of our working force on women. so really, there are different interpretations and that would be playing amid the thing. we're all on a number of fronts, including that, which is a lot of people in the west, or at least claiming to be sensitive about which is that the issues of women and girls and the french well will say how it plays out in the coming days. and weeks we appreciate your insights as always out 0 senior political analyst, my when bashar that plenty morehead on the news hour, including cleaning up shop, a new agreement in bungling springs highest. the better protection for work is one of the world's top gum and export is back to class. but for how long, how an education crisis in lebanon is leaving schools and parents to fend for themselves. and one of the best flu shots you'll ever see on
1:23 pm
a tennis court in the us. i've been less coming out with leah. ah, the u. s. supreme court has narrowly rejected an emergency appeal against a new abortion law. in the state of texas, the court voted 5 to 4 to allow the country's most restrictive lot remain in place . advance procedure from 6 weeks into pregnancy and makes no exceptions for rape or incest. and the gallagher 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
1:24 pm
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 the 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 to provide genetic counseling to someone about their pregnancy and ultimately refer them for
1:25 pm
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 do 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 case . access to abortions is 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
1:26 pm
jazeera, the irish member of parliament breed smith is a leading pro choice advocate. she joins us live from dublin. hello there, brave. thanks for joining us. this is being described as a bill that will significantly impair women's access to health care. do you agree? absolutely. it's a, it's a bizarre dora should have been struck down by the supreme court supposed to know it's 2 years that there's an agenda here cases and because colon virus became the supreme court to push to challenge. sure. versus way i can get 3, puts it up to the democrats. now you're going to commit to respond to the very strong way to that just for role because it really does are very, very, very dangerous. because the saying is pushing women back into the dark ages. it does mean, however, if you are well, if you are not marginalized,
1:27 pm
if you have resources and friends and other places in texas and out in the boston, new york or michigan wherever they're available at this point, if you're poor, if you're marginalized, if you're going to invest behind a very, very serious advancement for the choice movement. so i think it's something that really should be for her to find the choice comes in america. they really come together in the big, strong way like it did over me to movement push back hard against women. so i you mentioned briefly in that and said that there will be some ramifications. can you expand a little bit on that in terms of the ramifications of this law on particularly minorities and those are from a lower socio economic background? sure. well firstly, i mean it was pretty bizarre about this. no, it's just challenge the doctor and the nurse who are providing abortions,
1:28 pm
but it actually new challenges. i should know that you know anybody in the space could taxi driver a receptionist or anybody involved in the professional portion and would very much that could be challenged. could be food for $10.00 and then the law for that protects the parents and some of them if they fail to be successful. so it's a really big stress across the board. that means that they can, it's like a skeptical and approach. anybody can pick up that's gotta go inspiring them and see what's really to push. when back into the dark, i just went into corners, particularly those who are poor light going to trans women and non binary people. it's after they are the ones to so for the most, to be honest, richard,
1:29 pm
in the end of the day, what that's going to mean is the return to the bushes. because no matter what happens when a crisis pregnancy, it's one of the tri, one's best to end up pregnancy often requires some leads to endanger, own life or taken by poisonous medicines. so we're going to see your rhetoric back piling on on. as i said, the poor and the most marginalized, and we turn into a situation where in a clarity where women can afford to be the state and gutter brush and put them in, are going to have to write. one other thing about the, this is that the same cohort who push for these coney and abortion are the ones who we know, or univers, provision of tri care that needs to be addressed in crisis, or to give people universal health care. so if or want to see how they really don't give it a go to life, it's the ones that they say they're trying to protect. the children are going with
1:30 pm
the care or provision for housing and basic health care braids needs. we appreciate your insights. she is a leading pro choice advocate and was joining us from dublin. thank you bri. israel's military has shot and wounded to palestinians in separate incidents in gaza. israeli soldiers shot a young man while he was ne, the border in southern garza, 8th of con venus. the northern guys in northern gods arrive at the israeli navy shore palestinian fishermen. while he was working off the coast. the incident comes off to the government approved expanding. the garza strips. fishing on the fisherman's union says the navy, shoot a fisherman without warning.
