a quarter of the country's population. the fighting started after 2 weeks of negotiations with the taliban collapsed. we have a lot of equipment with ourselves. we will descend from our relief from our territory until we have one blood, one drop of blood in our buddy. so we will resist. will be modified here. talking about fight is edge of a slope along trucks. they say a heavily mind as we were getting ready to go live. another shell landed close by the taliban, his block phone networks in the valley. there are growing fears about the estimated a $150000.00 people living inside and many entirely bound controlled areas around gold. the hall. the big concern is that suits forces coming round on the mountain ridges. trying to surround this area in order to isolate global ha love and

jain, you presence ink of all coordinated with that and i to service if the security conditions allow for it from that we should support the departure of nation nosy to be a nation. not that i still there and i've gotten a risk. the british foreign secretary dominic rob echoed those sentiments earlier on a visit to pocket on heels one ounce the u. k is increasing a to help. i've gone to stunned neighbors deal with refugees. pakistan says it would support any afghan government that's backed by the people and speaking at the eastern economic form, russia as president plumber, vladimir putin accused america on the west of abandoning their allies and said they should learn lessons from the disaster of 2 decades of conflict so for them, i suppose it's a catastrophe because the americans very pragmatic people spent more than $1.00

trillion dollars on this campaign over the years. and what is the result? 0. if you look at the number of people who've been abandoned in afghanistan, who have been working for the collective west, the u. s. and their allies been it's a humanitarian catastrophe as well. growth. meanwhile, officials from catherine for a ministry have landed in campbell. it's seen as another step towards getting the airport back up and running and ready to receive much needed aid. both cats are in turkey, have already sent technical teams to help restore operations. so what we hope our efforts will speed up the full or at least the gradual re operation of the facility . this will help more flight into cabal airport. after the diplomatic course, we need to continue to talk with the taliban to iron a certain political issues, namely to ensure the peaceful transition of power, comprehensive political reconciliation, and above all, to restore the country's peace and stability. the 2nd issue is providing humanitarian car doors, and we hope to see this in the coming 24 to 48 hours. the 3rd issue is to ensure

the freedom of movement while the taliban spokesman says, china has promised to keep its embassy. and i've got to stand open and to increase aid and her smallest senior trans atlantic fellow with the german marshal funds of the united states asia program. and he says that china stands to gain a lot by working with a new african administration. suddenly over the long term, china was able to get some of the mines that it's already committed to potentially be i'm not coppermine some of the lithium investments and other things that are all significant resources that china is one of the actors that is keen to step in and benefit from it and the level of revenue that could accrue to taliban to, to a few traffic on government would be very significant. but as many years away, in fact, before, that really translates into meaningful resources for whoever is in power. so you have a short term question which is in the immediate economic crisis and the immediate aftermath of a new government. what it, what sort of measures he's trying to,

willing to take in those circumstances. kind of doesn't do large scale aid. it will provide aid. modest to provide humanitarian assistance and it's not going to bail out a new government and they may do some smaller scale investments. but those long term investments even will depend on that. being enough stability in the country in security, in the country for these to turn into something that's economically viable channels and wants to make sure that it's a government sufficiently politically stable, that they can make these long term best. there's still some limitations to what china is really going to be willing to do economically, even if it's continues to be happy. and the taliban came to be able to send these signals to china's willing to swing in on scale. well, dozens of women have demonstrated outside the presidential palace and couple i there are calling on the taliban leadership to protect women's rights. one card read as society in which women are not active as a debt society. a tell about official recently promised. there would be a place for women in afghanistan, government, but not in the cabinets,

might not be solved in the last 20 as we the women have taken part in all aspects of life, shoulder to shoulder with men. therefore, no one can eliminate us. we not only oscar is lima camera government, but also all the international community, especially women from other countries around the world to support us. us president joe biden has arrived in the state of louisiana for a 1st time. look at the damage brought on by hurricane ida. torrential rain brought widespread flooding and power was cut to a 1000000 people after the storm hit the u. s. gulf coast last weekend. it caused more flooding as it moved to the northeast. new jersey, new york and pennsylvania are the worst hit states. 45 people have been killed in the region. chris is salumi standing by knows the best new jersey, but 1st let's go to our white house correspondent, kimberly how kate so the president now and louisiana. kimberly tell us

a little bit more about what his plans are. well, the us president was to survey the damage caused by hurricane ida on his own. a really does make a difference when you set your eyes on the pictures on television and the a that are photograph just don't do it justice in terms of really understanding the scale and the scope. and so that's why the governor of louisiana invited the president down. not only does he want to ensure that the millions affected by the storm in his state get the support they need, but also, but it gets there quickly. you have to remember that when i hit shortly after whether 1000000 people without power, some of that is still not been restored. at half a 1000000 were without water. and again, some of that is still not restored. and so that is the concern, coordinating the federal response because of course, we know that the storm didn't stop in the southeastern united states, cut

a swath all the way up the north east that even hit about an hour from here. and that was maryland, pennsylvania, new jersey and new york. so significant impact and the president really there to kinda get a feeling for just how bad the damage is. and what he can do in order to ensure that those that have been hit, the hardest get the help that they need, right. and how much pressure is on the bite in administration to actually do something about climate change with the multiple crises we're seeing in the us. yeah, the u. s. president has been talking about this recently including today, but he campaigned on this, this is a campaign promise and it really motivated a lot of young people for which climate change is a critical issue to support jo by them. and now they're looking at him and say, hey, we need you to deliver on those campaign promises. he how does a 5, but he believes that climate change is an existential threat to that. and there's

already been a number of measures that the bike and ministration is put in place, but the one is really i and now is the infrastructure package that's currently in congress. he wants to see that push through, in order to make the infrastructure of the united states more robust. why? because the storms are more severe than they have ever been before in the united states. that it's not just what we're seeing on the east coast. the west coast is also experiencing the effects of climate change through the wildfires that season lasting longer and burning hotter than it has in more than a century when records are recorded. so of what the president is saying is i'm hearing you. i know what needs to be done. i need congress to get on board. he is under a lot of pressure. his supporters say look at, you've got a democrat controlled congress and you control the white house. this is your opportunity to do something and we're watching you. ok. thank you so much. kimberly

how can reporting from washington d. c. let's now get an update from kristen salumi. she's joining us from elizabeth new jersey. as we're saying, new jersey has been one of the hardest hit states. kristen, talk us through what you've seen, where you are. yeah, the death toll here has risen to 25. the highest at all in the country as a result of hurricane i'd of 4 of those deaths happened here in elizabeth new jersey. so today, really, people were seeing everywhere cleaning up and taking stock for those 4 feet. holidays happened in the apartment complex. you see behind me, let me give you a little sense of what people went through. if you look over here, you can see some of the vehicles that this parking lot was completely submerged in water over the tops of the cars. and it really took people here by surprise, everyone we talked to said that they did not see this coming. this area was not evacuated since been evacuated. so if you can imagine the water up to here,

people in this building over here tell us that it was to the top of the doorways. and as the water began to rise, people on the bottom floor couldn't open their doors. and sadly, for people in this building on the bottom floor were not able to get out. and we heard these harrowing stories from neighbors who said they were getting calls from people who needed help. a maintenance person made a historic, heroic, excuse me, the rescue of a woman who was trapped swimming across the parking lot to get her door open and get her out. but others were not able to do that. so now this entire complex, 6000 people in this area and the surrounding area have been evacuated. the power is out for some $12000.00 residents of new jersey. and everywhere we go. we see people emptying out soggy furniture, so mattresses from lower level apartments and basement apartments in new york

where there were 11 p tallies all the people who died. there were in basement apartments again where the water rose so quickly that they, they just simply couldn't knock it out in what's really fascinating talking to people here, including people who've been here for 20 years and, or is that they've never seen flooding in these areas like even back in 2012 and super storm sandy came through and really reach havoc on new jersey and new york. these areas were not that badly affected while a lot of money was spent after that storm to make the area more resilient, it was focused on coastal areas. and what we saw here was so much rain in such a short amount of time. record sending rain as much as 9 centimeters in an hour. it was too much for the systems of the drainage systems to accept and it's just behind the building over here that the water that the river flows and it just

quickly came up and over the bank. and so the systems were not able to handle it. and with storms like this expected to become more common and that's where you have local officials, the governor of new jersey, the governor of new york, asking for that federal assistance from joe biden to make those systems more resilient. ok, thank you so much. kristen salumi reporting from new jersey. a more head on the on is there any are including this one pregnant palestinian women found herself in prison after a dispute and illegal is really subtler our 1st to be able to get back to the country. barbara report on why thousands are leaving, living on in search of opportunities abroad. and that huge booth for next year in winter olympics in beijing will tell you all about that a little later. ah
