we what gives you hope that it is going to be peace because the situation on the ground seems to be pointing, otherwise we listen. we were never on whatever road to off migration. we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories on sierra ah, a man on a watchlist stub, several people in new zealand supermarkets, a prime minister says the attack was i still in spite of what happened today was despicable with hateful it was wrong. ah, tell us how many watching onto there and like my headquarters here in the coming up

in the next 30 minutes. i'm show strapped the reporting from the entrance to the punches valley where the fighting is escalating between the tale and what's been described as the last bastion of opposition to the rule. japan is set to get a new prime minister to give she'd have to go says the field step down as leader of the governing party and struggling to dry out. the clean up is underway and parts of the ne united states and the tropical storm. either sweeps through killing more than 40 people. ah, welcome to the problem. we start with breaking news coming out of new zealand where police have shot dead man. after he stopped 6 people at a supermarket, the government's calling it an iso inspired attack authority say the attacker was a swank and national who had been in the country since 2011. i was on the security watch list. video posted online shad panic. shop is fleeing the scene to shopping,

mile in the city of oakland. 3 of the injured are in a critical condition. what happened today was despicable. it was hateful, it was wrong. was carried out by an individual. not a faith, not a culture, not and its necessity, but it individual person who was grouped by ideology that is not supported here by anyone or any community. he alone carries the responsibility for these ex. let that be with a judgment for children rud, it's a journalist for television, new zealand joins me now from the scene in oakland. slight delay on the line because of the satellite link. but jordan could talk about this on the program. still a heavy police presence at the scene of the attack, so the investigation continues. good evening. that's right. at 7 pm here in new zealand and emergency services were

cool here just after 230. and as he mentioned this, still a heavy police presence at the countdown supermarket in west oakland. when a new zealand is new zealand, the largest city to my lived and to my right, this is a main street we're on and both ends a cold and off with police lights flashing. and as you can probably see behind me, there are police carrying out investigations as to what happened today. and it was chaotic sings when we got here shortly after 230. they were people running, they were cars whizzing around the streets and people just didn't know what was going on. and most notably, the sound of sirens echoing out around the region. there was confusion to people didn't know what was going on. they were asking, may, do you know what's happening? they were taking videos and they didn't actually know what they were recording that was until, cause said, filing out of the main car park here. and the people in those cars started cheering

the stories as to the shocking saying they had just witnessed. now to night there are 6 people across 3 oakland hospital, 3 of those are in a critical condition. the other 3 moderate. so as you can say, police are remaining here and probably will be very license to the night to try and paste together exactly what's happened. indeed, the prime minister has already made a statement in front of sort of national television. the authorities seem very clear on their actions, but there are still many questions that remain unanswered. that's right. the prime minister just under either came out very strong saying this terrorist quote is an iso sim poseida. he was a known as the race and hes been since 2016, which is the reason why. up until now. he's been under constant surveillance. he was considered a threat to public safety after twice buying lodge hunting knives and possessing

islamic state videos. he's only recently been released from prison and like i said, was under that constant surveillance now, prime minister just under to told the media now this, which was quite strong on this one, that the attack was carried out by an individual not a site, not a culture not an a necessity, but an individual person gripped by an ideology that is not supported here by anyone drank here. all countdown and pharmacy staff who were locked down in the small have come out, which was good to say all looking visibly shaken, but smells investigations, continue. jordan raj from television easy, thanks very much for joining us from oakland. the funny thing i'm gonna say is escalating between the taliban and the resistance group in the bunch of valley the mountain. the thing place is 150 kilometers north cobble. it's been any province to hold out against the taliban despite being entirely surrounded. now the national

resistance front, as a multi ethnic group, made up of militias and full african security force members. dozens of people living hill on both sides in recent days. charles dropped that has more from a village near the punchy valley. behind me, you'll just about be able to see the town of gould hall now that is the entrance to the punchier valley, the only entrance to the punchy valley civilian population and in the thousands, when we arrived there was a lot of smoke. there was a lot of artillery being fired at that town. we understand that the child by the taliban are in control of it, but they have been responding as well in the last 5 minutes or so. again, more artillery heavy machine gun fire being heard. we've spoken to locals in the area of many locals telling us how terrified they are. they say the fighting started about 4 days ago. and as i say, they say that it's especially bad at night. it has been an escalating. they also say that the resistance,

this group called the n r s that are in control of punch. if they said that they sold a group pulling in weapons, bringing weapons into the area in and around the time that the taliban took control were pushing towards taking control of cobble preparing themselves for this fight. now, bear in mind that this valley is historically known for its, for its strong resistance. the soviets, whenever able to take it, the tale bond have never been able to take it. it is 95 percent plus tasha population of around 10150000. the resistance is being led by a man called ultimate masoud, the son of a very famous fight against the russians in the eighty's. we know that they have been negotiations in the last few days. obviously they have fallen by the wayside. now. they have failed a telephone stakes and says china has promised to keep its embassy and telephone open and to increase aid. the chinese government says it wants to play a role in the reconstruction of afghanistan,

but it hasn't given many details. katrina, you has more from beijing. what honest foreign ministry has posted a statement on its web side, confirming that the phone call took place in that statement. it was quite brief. it affirmed the friendship between the 2 countries and at wish the people of afghanistan well and going forward and rebuilding their country. but it was quite scans on details. this message by the taliban could be its way of putting a little bit of pressure on aging. perhaps to keep its promises. aging has said that it will play a role in the economic reconstruction of the country, but it's been quite vague as to how it intends to do that. but no doubt the aging doesn't tend to play a role here because it does have some existing investments enough gone us on that. it probably wants to protect. it also has very extensive investments in neighboring pakistan. so it is looking at the economic potential of the country and the impact on the region at large. now china as a major player, was one of the 1st to recognise the taliban as

a legitimate political force. we had tele bond leader up to gunny bar, actually visit china in late july, and he met with china's foreign minister one e and throughout this whole process throughout the keiko as well as this transition, china's embassy in cobbler has remained fully open and operational, no paging has been very critical of the us saying that it's hasty with the role was to blame for the chaos caused in the country. but at the same time, china has said that the u. s. should not just cut and run that. it has responsibilities in the country and should help contribute to its economic rebuilding as well to pounds. 5 minutes they issued a cigarette, says he wouldn't seek reelection as either of the governing party this month sets the stage for his replacement. so just when you have an office figure took over after formulations or ave resigned last september, thinking for how to get approval rating has dropped below 30 percent. as the nation struggles with its worst wave of code 19 infections,

a general election is expected. next year. michael, penn is president of v should get soon. his agency and independent japanese news agency joins us from tokyo via gotten to the good type of the program. again, i mean, how surprise should we be that suca has decided you might say to step down using it seems the pandemic as an excuse the fact that he's out as prime minister in the season. it's not. it's not much of a surprise at all. although the, the timing that it would happen, you know, within about 12 hours of him saying he was going to run. so like last afternoon he, he confirmed that he would be running for the presidency of the party. and then in the morning he said, i'm not running. so that part was a little bit surprising, but he was basically in the middle of a political crisis and wasn't able to overcome it. the suggestion is that his own party really is baying for blood. why is it just about the pending election and the

concern around that? yeah, well for the point of view of the law makers on the party and especially the younger lawmakers and those who are less secure in winning their election, is that they understood. and by every indication correctly, that if so go was the person who led the party into the general election. they were going to at least lose a lot of seats and potentially even lose their majority. so that's really where the, the dissatisfaction of the party came from is that if you have a leader who can't win elections, well, you better get another leader. what i mean back in the day had a reputation as cabinet secretary, as being a very savvy operator. i mean, what pressure also unknowns do you have to contend with when you do become the prime minister? why i think the main one is that it's suga was never able to move from that number to position where essentially he was, you know, the right hand man,

the enforcer, the person who would go and sort of, you know, knocked together bureaucrats and, and terrify them to get done what the government want to get done, but then you become the number one man, you become the prime minister. and a big part of your job is communication. it's creating a career and a connection with the japanese people. and on that score, pseudo was just never showed a spark. he never showed any ability. and essentially for the entire year, every time at a local election came up, the ruling party was losing. so it was clear, he just didn't have that touch of, of connecting with the japanese people and that's what he was really missing. so if his successor needs to have that human touch, in your opinion, who should we be looking to in terms of like the successes? well, the 2, i think front runners would be one person who's definitely in the race. he's already declared that so so me o key sheet or the former foreign minister. he is. he should probably be considered

the front runner at the moment and he is going, if he wins, it'll mainly be because he gets the factional support from, from a group of, of partying, the sort of grandees, including former prime minister. she's a hobby, and the big challenger may be, although he doesn't declared yet, tara kona, who's the administrative reform, and vaccines minister and tara cona would be the one who would be more likely to have sort of a popular appeal and be able to get more popular support, but that very reason may make the ruling party hesitant to to put him in the leadership position because it's not as controllable. interesting times i had for japan, michael had always good to get your insight. thanks very much for joining us and take you. thank you. cilla had here amount to sarah, literally watching children dying before the very families in mad against each insects

you saw happening is, um, once you've talked to it was what it was for. petune is the critical debate here. it's not between cooler and any other group. we are confident here that 4 years re running that even people in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on al jazeera. oh, a book about you're watching. i was there with me. so rob, reminder stories, police and new zealand have shot that a man after he stepped 6 people at
