the smell is overpowering. a lot of the stories that we cover highly complex. so it's very important that we make them as understandable as we can to as many people as possible no matter how much they know about a given crisis or issue as i was, is there a correspondence? that's what we strive to do me . ah, the man watch list, stub, 70 people in a new zealand supermarket. the prime minister says the attack was isolated quiet. what happened today was despicable, was hateful, it was wrong. ah robin, what feelings there were like my headquarters here in doha coming up in the next 30

minutes? i'm sure i'll stop the reporting from the entrance to the punch in the valley where the fighting is escalating between the tale bond must be described as the last bastion of opposition to the rule. also, japan is set against a new prime minister after you shoot us to get. the bill stepped down as leader of the governing party and struggling to dry out. the clean up is underway and part of the northeastern united states to tropical storm ida sweep through killing at least $45.00 people. ah, welcome to the program. police and new zealand have shown that a man of his stamped 6 people at a supermarket. the government's calling it's an eyesore inspired attack. no authority say the attacker was a star lankin national. you've been in the country since 2011 and was all the security watch list. video posted online showed panic shoppers fleeing the scene

shopping mile in the city of oakland. 3 of the injured already in 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 it's necessity. but it individual person who was gripped 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 form. jordan raja is a journalist with television news zealand and has the latest from the scene of the attack. there's still a heavy police presence at those count down supermarket in west oakland when a new zealand. it is new zealand, largest city to my lived and to my right, this is a main street we're on and both ends accord 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 saying they were people running, they were cars whizzing around the streets and people 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 added sharing their stories as to the shocking saying they had just witnessed. now to night there are 6 people across 3 all, clint hospital. 3 of those are in critical condition. the other 3 moderate or the prime minister just under either came out very strong saying this terrorist quote is an iso sim poseida. he was a known as ration has been since 2016, which is the reason why up until now. he's been under constant surveillance now,

prime minister just under to and told the media now this which she was quite strong on this one, that the attack was carried out by an individual not a site, not a culture, not a necessity, but an individual person gripped by an ideology that is not supported here by anyone that's going to san future was one of the topics discussed during a meeting between the foreign ministers of the u. k. and pakistan. they all speaking now in the pakistani capital islamabad, let's just listen into what sha moved correctly. the pakistani foreign minister is saying it's, you know, impala bon is a fit, and we will, we will work with that reality. we're waiting to see what happens and the next few days like you with the eyes and ears open question from the gentleman here. thank you. this is nan from

news. mr. said he do you believe that the speak paper was upon the stand by the taliban? indicate italians. thank you. look the the take over, i think it's fair to say was faster than anyone had anticipated. not just the united kingdom, the nato allies. but i was talking with our friends here and i suspect the taliban and organ afghans were taken by surprise. we can look at all the different factors that relate to it. but i think there was a common widespread surprise at the speed with which the they b consolidation of how it happened. the big question from the lady in the middle, the bank and the clock from a half came to

a question for mr. rob and you said that you've been, you want nations to that, not maximum moderating influence. what are you looking for from the taliban? and also the danger of pushing them too far and the group turning inward and embracing radical tendencies. think it's a good question. i think we need to set some of the tests, of course, actually on the evacuation between the middle of august and end of august, there was dialogue on the ground. and we wouldn't have got 15000 more than 15000 people out without some measure of constructive dialogue with the taliban. so we know that there be further undertakings made. and so to address your point, i think we would hold them to be undertaking that they have made and test the sincerity and the will to deliver on those kinds of things. we're talking about reflected now in the un security council resolution. but the u. k. pushed

a strongly forward thoughts in the us. we noticed that russia and china stains acquiesced. i'd like to think of it. we need to bring a stronger basic consensus about those issues. i think the security council resolution raises many issues that i've discussed described today, and also his excellency foreign minister. and we need to try and urge a stronger group of countries in a wider group of countries around those basic issues. more inclusive government safe passage out. no safe haven for terrorism, the humanitarian lifeline that it's in all sides interest to see aloud and preserve to preserve regional stability and the range of other things. so i think it's important that the states to set to judge the taliban by these early initial, probably quite modest tests and see where they can deliver. and i hope that balances reconcile is what i think is

a reasonable challenge to the international community. yes, i think that's what i'm describing. if you said early tests based on what they have said they're willing to do. i think that's a perfectly reasonable approach. any regime or set of leaders taking they've made i think is reasonable question from the gentleman in the middle . this is melissa at the daily metro much mister tracy. you have tell us about our latino as well as at present lis. you did not catch me. it's a, it's a big issue that is a lot of human rights violations. the dead bodies are not safe because the body them under your command. i've got your question. in fact,

i did, i did. and i, i job you didn't. or the 1st 2nd feet on how, say legalities, family was treated yesterday. the way the body was snatched by the security forces into in a get a decent burial, gets abundant, right? which the family and the man at 92 was denied as people feed very strongly about it or but do not realize you can stop that. but there will be few rules over on there's going to be one today in the style about everybody's been theory and every minister and everyone will go to, you know, had you not been at, i would have been there. right? so you cannot, you cannot suppress human feelings and sentiments. so i

did talk about that the atrocities. yes. i am that, to be honest. the foreign secretary very clearly said opposition on kashmir is moon interest to the position. but that does not stop us from raising human rights issues. and if they do that, thank you. well, you'll know the long standing position of the u. k. is that it is for you in pakistan to find a lasting preschool resolution to the situation in kashmir, which we certainly want to see. it's got to take into account the wishes of the kashmir people. it's not for you. k, to prescribe, impose a solution or even to act as a mediator. we encourage both sides to maintain a positive dialogue, to constructive dialogue, which is going to be necessary. there's going to be a lasting diplomatic solution. of course the, the, paste the scope,

the modalities will be for them to decide. thank you. they didn't, then i said, we don't have time for me. no questions. thank you. thank you so much. you've been watching a dominant rob that the british foreign secretary meeting his pockets on the counterpart in the capital. it's on the board in pakistan. sullivan surveyed the is life for us in bush. i was listening into all of that. it's been a whistle stop tool for the british. foreign secretary was doha, on thursday, pakistan. and it's not about today importing it, meeting important regional leaders and countries that can help in the issues of afghanistan. absolutely. so the, the priority for the united kingdom remains the exit of not just a british nationals who are still in the sun, but also those people who help the united kingdom as well. and that was said by

dominic rob, who's coming to a great criticism at home, and then it's spot this regional tour that he's making all of these stops to make sure that all the people left behind have an opportunity to leave. and obviously because the color, the situation at the top left ports, now it is only possible for them to be violent borders. bucks on being one of those neighboring countries, the united kingdom, the thing that it is they do step up. it's $84.00 regional countries around have gone to sun for basic purposes of those people who are leaving the country to about $4041000000.00. and some of that is going to come to its budget on the bucks on the is have raised a trip to the border for dominic, rob, you'd be able to go and see the conditions himself for actually the box on the foreign minister saying that the priority remains a box on the see piece and the finest on stability of that is that is not just crucial for progress on before the region as well. and we've been hearing a lot of bilateral issues as well, including bucks on status, on the financial action pass. 4th grade list,

focus on the back of issues with the united kingdom, the issue we came up. so it is a wide range of meeting, but the core, the essence of it remains the situation in afghanistan. how to get everyone out and the people who remain in of understand how to provide much needed aid for them. a summer been job it in the shower. thanks so much for the update. no fighting and the going on is escalating between the taliban and a resistance group in the bunch valley the mountains. angler is 150 kilometers north of cobble. now it's been the only province to hold out against the taliban. despite being entirely surrounded the national resistance front of a multi ethnic group made up of militias and form african security. both members, dozens of people who been killed on both sides in recent days. charles stratford has this update from the village very close to the valley. behind me, you're just about be able to see the town of goulburg 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 escalating. they also say that the resistance, this group called the n r f that are in control of punch valley. 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 taliban segments as china. her po is to keep its empathy and i've got a son open and to increase aid. the chinese government says it wants to play a role in the reconstruction of the country, 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 tends 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 of 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. now. japan's prime minister, yes she, the suga says he went to seek reelection as leader of the governing party this month. it sets the stage for his replacement after just one year in office. the cigarette took over after formerly the ship, the arb resigned last september, fighting for how to get approval rating has been struck below. 30 percent of the nation struggles with its west wave of cove in 1900 infections. a general election is expected. next trip. not michael pen is a president of the should get through news agency and independent news agency in japan. he says, who has struggled in the face of growing criticism. the fact that he's out as prime minister in the season is not, is not much of a surprise at all. although the,

you know, 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 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, you're basically in the middle of a political crisis and wasn't able to overcome it. suda 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 in and sort of, you know, knock together bureaucrats and terrify them to get done with 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 man, a connection with the japanese people. and on that score. suga was just never showed a spark. you 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. that's what he was really missing. now, yes, president joe biden has pledged federal help for northeastern states after remnants of hurricane ida hit the region with record breaking rains. so the flooding is reported over $400.00 cars, a stretch from maryland to new york flood waters have submerged subways, damaged homes, and cut off power. it's a millions, at least 45 people are reported to have died. new york city mac hold it a historic weather event. the city is under a state of emergency. kristin levy has the latest from new jersey. the ne woke up the flooded cities and impassable streets. many had to be rescued as the remnants of hurricane either made their way north, more than 3 days after 1st making landfall. thousands of kilometers away in louisiana. there were even tornadoes,

seeming to catch heavily populated big cities like philadelphia, off guard, with the record rainfall. serious flooding caused the complete shut down of the subway system. the new york borough of queens suffered the most fatalities in the city, at least 12 resident dying as water flooded basement apartments. the 1st crisis for new york's new governor, the human loss, which is hard to imagine that people simply in their cars, in their homes, in their basements, to come to a, the ravages of a brutal storm. and their families must just be in such pain this morning. in new jersey, governor phil murphy was out early thursday, visiting the town of malacca hill hit by those tornadoes, which left devastation normally associated with the southern united states. the ferocity of the storm took many by surprise trapping families in basement apartments and motorists on road ways that quickly turn to rivers more than 20

centimeters of rain fell overnight in some areas. that's as much as typically falls in the entire month of september. when i saw that this man we spoke to in new jersey, had stopped in his truck to take a video with water and the street suddenly began to rise the river. all the sudden i looked down the road and louis it was like a river coming towards me. and me and my daughter, my 12 year with me and we just panic. i put in a 4 wheel drive and just backed out real quick before the summers. my truck, northeastern governors and president biden say the trail of destruction left by ida is yet more evidence of climate changes impact on weather systems across the united states and bite and says the country needs to prepare for more to come. we need to act. and congress returns this month. i'm going to press further action on my bill bag. better plan and can make historic investments and in electrical infrastructure

. modernizing our roads, bridges are water systems for those left, counting, the cost divided destruction relief can't come soon enough. christian salumi al jazeera new jersey settling lives in new york bar of brooklyn. he was one of he was one at one of the subway stations when it flooded. i was on my way home, on the train, into brooklyn and bush like our neighborhood, specifically. and i was jefferson l stop. and as soon as the train pulled in and the doors open, i heard this, this massive rush of water. it sounded like like a natural waterfall like niagara falls and it covered up the usual like platter and all the sound the subway. so as soon as i stepped out and my train passed on, i turned around and there was just as enormous wall of water new yorkers are

a famously tough, tough group of people. so as you can see in the video, i mean one person jumped directly through the waterfall to get home. you know, of course, many people where, where we're not so lucky. so it's, it's been a terrible situation, but in this case, you know, there are always people taking a few videos and, you know, being a little bit nonchalant about it. but certainly there were, there were some pretty bad situation. i think after sandy, i think that was a huge learning moment, the entire area in new york city, particularly in regards to subways, that was so incredibly damaging to, to the you know, more than 100 year old infrastructure in our subway system. i love our subway, but it's incredibly old and still being repaired parts that are nearly original. so i think that after sandy, everything was, was taking a bit more seriously, you know, from individuals all the way up to government. but there's, there's certainly tremendous work still needs to be done in terms of investing an

infrastructure if we're going to, you know, be able to whether the next dorm opperation is underway across northern and central stay enough to severe flash flooding on wednesday. the council on coastal town of elena was also one of the places was tess, with several calls swept into the mediterranean people, their revolt waters more than a metre high, rushing down the streets, luxuries of northern spain and the valero highlands, remain under a storm. and after 4 years of drought, the island nation of madagascar is experiencing one of the world's worst famines to be caused by climate change. the united nation says at least 30000 people don't have enough to eat with fairs. that numbers could rise dramatically. the u. n. has also reported that more than 1000000 people in the country have resulted to eating locusts wild leaves and cactus fruits. madagascar produces a tiny fraction of the world's annual carbon dioxide emissions,
