subway in new york shots, gree composer and politician mickey's for that our case has died at the age of 96. he was a major symbol of resistance to military rule in the 1970 i hello britain says it has no plans to recognize the taliban government being formed and i've gone to sun but is ready to engage directly with the group before and secretary dominic rob speaking here in the fall after talked with catherine for a minister, mom, i've been on the rush man, and fanny said his government is working with the taliban to get couples airport back up and running. we are working very hard and also engaging with bought a bond to identify what are the gaps and that is for having therefore to back up and running. but we would remain hopeful that we wouldn't be able to

operate it as soon as possible. there are concerned food could run out within a month. the un has warned if it catastrophe with about a 3rd of the countries. 38000000 citizens facing hunger prices. if essential goods have sword. while the u. s. has frozen about $10000000000.00 and national reserves . getting air traffic moving is one of the 1st challenges facing of gun stands, new rulers, a 2nd category jet carrying a technical team has now landed a couple that team is evaluating how to resume operations, but has not yet agreed to provide technical assistance. jamal cl was at the foreign ministers press conference in doha. have more details on efforts to restart operations, a couple airports, the country for minister just now brahman, tiny, confirm that a technical team from his country was deployed to of kind of spun 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 crowds who 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 rulers on the ground to come up with some sort of a mechanism. although that deal hadn't yet been finalized. he did indicate or point to the fact that they do expect something to be agreed within the coming days, which was corroborated to a certain extent by word we're hearing from sources inside of kind of son who said to 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 resource told me that the initial flight cutter would be helping to operate would be either humanitarian or evacuation ones. that is their main focus

for now. not necessarily civilian one. the world health organization has worn that african hospitals could soon run out of supplies. troll stratford has been to one of the busiest facilities and couple we went to dialysis. ward have people being treated on dialysis machines. the doctor's very concerned. the factors, a world bank funded project, they hadn't received any money for about 3 months now. that means none of the stuff have been paid. they're running very low on vital equipments and medicine in that department. one doctor said that if the people they're being treated do not get treatment on on a regular basis, they could die within 2 weeks. they also spoke about the fact that some medicines had arrived this morning, but only enough for a week. they were delivered by the organization medicine, cell phone chair, and they were actually for the emergency not the dialysis,

not the dialysis department here, a refill scenes as well. one poll elderly woman on a stretcher, choking on on her own blood in a terrible state. and did the elevators don't work simple things like that. she was having to be taken up on a stretcher for stories to the war to be treated so horrific and worrying seems there. we also went to the own college department. now this department is funded or was funded by the former government a similar scenario there. the budget had been signed off by the government, but they haven't seen any money yet. big concerns there that the charlie bond, we're not going to sign off on this money for whatever reason, whether it be seeing that that money could be used in, in a different sector. again, salaries hadn't been paid. and death rates, mortality rates going up all the time. anyway, certainly people dying from cancer,

again because of what people say is the mismanagement of funds that should be put towards raising greater awareness. many of the people coming to this hospital with stage 4 cancer and in a terrible state. so the situation here certainly is this hospital, and as i say it is the largest and i've got to start is anything to go by the health to in this country is hemorrhaging. and there are serious concerns of the withholding of international money could make things even worse. richard brennan is the regional emergency director for the eastern mediterranean at the world health organization. he says the agency needs access to the airport to bring in medical supplies. we need to get the airport up and running in cable. so those commercial flights can come in. we need security on the ground. so then once those supplies do arrive, we can distribute them confidently 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 can not launch across a large cross border 8 operation right now, because of some of the limitations of the boards. the backbone of health care across afghanistan is what's called the the basic package of 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 of their own laws and regulations, both donors and 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 jose have 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. well, the taliban is still facing armed resistance in the passenger valley. the mountainous enclave is 150 kilometers north of capital. since the capital fell, its been the only province to hold out against the group. there is been more fighting after talks between the 2 sides fail to reach an agreement. dozens of people have been killed. dozens of women in afghanistan, 3rd largest city, has staged a protest demanding the taliban preserved their rights. a group gathered in front of the governor's office in her rod, holding the cards and chanting slogan. taliban leaders, a promise to allow women to work and attend university. but in separate classes from men, many fear gains and women's rights over 2 decades will be ruled back under the groups rule. at least 20 people have died in the northeastern united states as

tropical storm. i'd brings wrecker rainfall and floods. new york city mayor bill de blasio has declared a state of emergency residents are being warned of dangerous conditions on the roads. in the past hour, the u. s. president joe biden has called for unity and promise to bring aid to those affected by the storm. my message to everyone affect it is we're all in this together. the nation is here to help. that's the message i've been making. clear to the mayor's governors, energy utility leaders in the region who my administration has been working closely with over the past few days. we know that there is much to be done in this response . on our part, we need to get power restored. we need to get more food fuel and water deployed. i get hourly updates and the progress from theme well of the knife and will be

working around the clock until the critical needs of the region are fully met. and we will meet them. chris and mr. running us from new jersey 1st christian to talk about more about what the president had to say. i mean, this is the us president that's dealing with multiple crises. absolutely. and he linked all of these events from the flooding here in the northeast to the power outages in the south to the wildfires in california to climate and what is expected to be and increasingly common theme throughout the country. as climate does change, promising to push for more funding for resources to harden us infrastructure against these kinds of disasters, he tied all of them to, to, to climate. although the cause of these is complex and certainly here in new jersey

where i'm standing, flooding has happened in the past, but the strength of these around the intensity of them is unlike what we've seen. you know, like the last time in the northeast was super storm sandy where we had a major weather disaster and that was in 2012. and it was supposed to be a one to 100 year event. but we're, we've seen records broken for for rainfall here in the northeast in just the last 2 weeks twice we've seen what rain records broke. and so joe biden, promising federal assistance directly and response to these catastrophes in the form of fema emergency management association and help for homeowners help for individuals, but also talking about his bill back better plan and fortifying that so that the

country is better able to withstand some of these extreme weather events here, kristen and tell us what you're seeing where you are. and what the latest casualty figures are. the latest reports we have, are there 14 people have died right across the northeast? yeah. then those numbers have been climbing. we're hearing actually 20 confirm dead now, but honestly, officials here are still taking stock. we've got a storm that stretched from new york to new jersey to pennsylvania, and officials have been giving updates all morning and all 3 states and the numbers are still in flux. but we know, for example, here in new jersey, a family of 4 was found in their apartment. in new york, 8 people were found dead and their apartments from flooding events just all happened so quickly in new york city. they issued a flash flood warning for the 1st time ever on wednesday night. and i think people either didn't hear it or didn't take it seriously because we really haven't

experience something like that in the new york area. so in addition to that, we've had wind events. we had a tornado here in new jersey, which does not appear to be responsible for any loss of life, but to massive destruction, to homes in southern new jersey. so, you know, i'm skipping around the region because that's really what this weather event it. and we're just getting this information and tid bits from, from different areas, but it, but you know, it's a beautiful day. the sun is shining. you see behind me though, the remnants of what's happened in the street to the back, you can see cars that are just stranded in the middle of, of the street and all over new jersey in new york. that's what they're cleaning up in new york. there were no less than 100 rescues by 1st responders from people trapped in their vehicles. again, it's just not something that northeastern irs and new yorkers in particular, are used to dealing with. so i think this really caught

a lot of people off guard and officials here or help me to answer questions about the infrastructure not being up to snuff either and being caught off guard in terms of the impact on sewer systems and subway systems. the subways are being impacted by this met of them have yet to reopen, as a result of massive flooding to the subway systems. so, you know, the question is, if these events become more common, how costly and how resilient, how costly is going to be to fix them and to, to make them resilient to future events. it's a, it's a moving target at this point. but clearly a lot of concern because you thousands, if not millions of people are being impacted by this in the northeast. ok. thank you so much. kristen for reporting from new jersey. well, the u. s. supreme court has narrowly rejected an emergency appeal against the new abortion law in the state of texas. so the court voted 5 to 4 to allow the

country's most restrictive law to remain in place and bands the procedure from 6 weeks into pregnancy and makes no exceptions for rape or incest. and 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 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 an abortion if that's what the patient wants. several other states mostly in the conservative south, has 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. the way 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 abortion access, regardless of what the supreme court decides with the jackson case. access to abortions as long been a divisive and deeply political issue in the us. but momentum seems to be gathering pace to challenge the choice of women across this nation. and galico algae 0 go ahead on our 0. being or lanka, or the lack of essential good times the government declaring a state of emergency. ah ah, it's time for the journey to winter sponsored by kettle airways.

to ease the burden for millions of families. michelle fernandez has more from colombo, sugar, sugar. it's everywhere, but not a green to buy. has been the complaint from consumers in sri lanka. the government says this is one of the reasons hoarding by trade is to create an artificial price increase. on wednesday, government officials rated warehouses in colombo. they said we're not registered with the consumer affairs authority and see 32000 metric tons of sugar, pumping the stock. so we made available to the public. we distributed through government retailers at an affordable price range like this to acquire hidden stocks, follow president, go to the raj boxes decision to impose a state of emergency and introduce regulations on a central food supplies. under these rules authorized officers will be able to take

and having its currency many here just want their central goods at an affordable price, manip fernandez or just the ra, colombo. the world health organization says the world is failing. people with dementia and calling on countries to take action. in a new report they w. e chose us 55000000 people globally, were affected by the disease in 2019. and that number will more than double to a 139000000 by 2050. as more populations get older. the report also says only a quarter of countries mostly in europe, have a strategy to deal with people suffering with dementia and their families. there is no treatment for the illness and mostly women are forced to stop working to care for their loved ones. the world's health organizations, once countries to invest in care programs and services to reduce the burden on informal caregivers. the global cost of dementia is estimated to be $1.00 trillion

dollars that was in 2019. but that could rise to it's much as to point 8 trillion by 2030 dr. catherine's see her as a technical officer with the brain health units at the world health organization in geneva. she explains how dementia can be prevented or delayed. here at 1st and foremost it's, it's important to remember what's good for your heart is good for your brain. so here we're targeting risk factors that are shared with other non communicable diseases, such as being physically active, maintaining a healthy diet, maintaining a healthy body way. not smoking, not drinking alcohol or reducing it to a minimum, but they're also mentioned specific risk factors, for example, such as traumatic brain injury. so that's why we're asked for creating or protecting our head by wearing helmets. whenever we write a bike or him a much

a cycle. so there is a lot we can do overall about 40 percent of the mentor cases could potentially be prevented if we were to reduce the risk factors to, to a minimum. and that's why we keep calling on on countries and the general population to increase awareness about these things that we can do to protect our brain. green says last one, if it's leading classical music figures. composer mickey's, for that in case and died on thursday in a career spanning decade. she was known for political resistance early on and grew to personify the modern face of greek music for a challenge. looks back at his life. come on my boy, me its pluck strings again and its dance
