a similar approaches which took place and harass on thursday. a ton of unofficial recently promised that would be a place for women in afghanistan, government, but not in the cabinet law that'll be saw 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. we can speak now to her own room. he may, was on his way to campbell, to resume teaching as an assistant professor of law at the american university that kind of stung when the telephone take over occurred. he joins us now. live from room by skype. thanks very much for being with us. so as we wait to hear what the taliban has of it, as if, as a government, what you think ordinary afghans really want to see from the government? i think in terms of the 2 issues, one is the initial list and the thing that is going to depend on to one is

performance. how the government is going to perform for the population and economy is going to be a major issue. the other issue is going to be representativeness of the government . and in terms of representative, we can thing to treat different forms of representation. one is gender inclusivity, whether half of the population will be included in a meaningful way or not. want to have a signal that they may not include women in higher position. that is worrying. there's also the issue of sneak include the video on ethnically diverse country where it will allow different ethnic groups to participate in government. so bar, most of the appointment the made in the interim arrangement that be from one group . and lastly, will be the issue off. what are people who hold views different and opposing to the top on those who adopt democratic values, those who don't different views and talk about it will be included. and the

government over there will be allowed to engage in political activities even outside the government. in those elements of representative government is going to be important to as well as the performance, what the government will be able to improve people's lives or to avoid and try to be the maybe unfolding in the country and all that. to me personally, one issue they'll, they'll have is, is access to money. how will they run the government and get hold of the finances they need? no government history has been able to function effectively without support. at the facts of upon history, carbon will not be at different. there'll be no difference in the ninety's when the war a prior state, meaning they were cut off from most, most of the rules. they could not function. most services were deliberate by a organisations and n g o. i think they've learned that lesson and that's why they show a lot of more sensitive sensitivity. but the issue of internet recognition. but how

much compromise they're willing to make on matters of ideology and the core values of the movement in order to secure internet rhythm? that's an open question. the world has also changed. seems like the internet community is divided under question of recommended by government. some regional actors maybe more eager to recognize the bond with fewer reservation, but they're worse than the us may have depend. i think what also should not be forgotten is that there is a humanitarian catastrophe taking place and on a thought. and i think the world should not deal with the human internal issue the same way or in the same kind of approach that they wouldn't deal with their issue of recommendation on those to, to, to be couple, humanitarian a should not be in crop that regardless of how different countries choose to deal with about or not. because 35000000 up, i'm going to need those agents assistance or just surviving it to

tell me just go back to where we talked about events in the pantry valley at the start of a program. what, how do you see that situation playing out? i think the pension value to present to of the told types of representations that i talked about. what is the issue of ethnic inclusion. there isn't a kind of and still have not shown a lot of difference to demand of different constituencies and different community thought. and they said their actions and they're all of their point. and so for shown lack of diversity. and that is, i think, one of the concerns that people have with regards to pend here, actually trying to a certain type of demand for different type of community. awesome. the other issue will be the out, will deal with the issue of the people in patent you are advocating for certain types of views with regard to democratic values, governance and such and what and how long will be able to accommodate those demand

or not. the open question so far the only insisted on surrender that's in the terms, discuss no meaningful way of discussing how people who hold different views and on can be brought into the fold of the future government. yet, i believe the centralizing power could be an approach that could accommodate different communities and upon a son, and allow for different people with different views on different issues. to be part of working political arrangement, comment have not shown any indication that they are willing to agree to kind of term. they see themselves as the winning side. and they are keen to impose a garmin that is more aligned with their ideology, even if it's not what many different constituencies may may different community upon them would like to see our ro, hey me, thank you very much. in the appeal horse are subject to the sexual state will travel to dough hall on sunday for further talks on afghanistan. actually consists

of taliban must honor its commitments in order to see any sanctions relief. we have worked intensely across the international community to set a very clear, international expectation of what the world is looking for from the taliban when it comes to freedom of travel. now enshrined in among other things that you want security council resolution that by the way is giving it a number of ways, one of which is that as you know, the taliban among other things is seeking sanctions relief. un sanctions. it is seeking the ability for its leaders to travel freely, which again under you sanctions they currently cannot do absent an exemption. and if taliban like government is in violation of this latest security council resolution on freedom of travel, it'll be pretty hard to see how they would get for example, that kind of relief was in jordan has more from washington dc. not only is there

a big diplomatic push, but there's also going to be a concurrent tom military. thank you. not only will secretary of state antony blaine can be traveling to the region in the coming days. but the defense secretary lloyd austin is also going to be in the region in order to thank u. s. military, as well as regional military leaders for their assistance in the recent evacuation from afghanistan. now the main point of antony blink and trip to doha is to consult not just with the members of the u. s embassy, who are temporarily working out of that city. but to also consult with cut re leaders who are very keen for among other things to reopen the airport in cobble so that humanitarian aid can get in. and so that those afghans who want to leave the country will be able to leave. there had been some talk in recent days that perhaps

the main airport could have been reopened by friday, but that is turned out to be perhaps a little too ambitious. but certainly the secretary of state wants to be in close coordination, not just with kataria officials, but also with turkish officials who are working on this project to try to keep that all important lifeline between this landlocked country and the outside world. open still to come on the news hour. the river turned red by a leak from an angle in diamond mind. the democratic republic of congo seeks to compensation. they say that protecting the loss of the land. today's treat people declare war on 1st re companies and the trillion state and huge boost for next year is wintered and fixed and basing demo. tell you all about that actually support ah,

ah, yes, president in the state of louisiana for the 1st hand look at the damage rule by heart can either draw button. so film at louisiana as governor john bell edwards and other local officials. and will they to be flown over areas hit by the storm? torrential rain brought widespread flooding and power to a 1000000 homes and businesses was caught after the storm hit the gulf coast. at least 9 people were killed in louisiana. but as cause more flooding, after moving ne, with at least 49 people killed across new jersey, new york and pennsylvania. president barton has just finished touring the place a small community about 35 miles west of new orleans. he vowed to get power back on as soon as possible. i know you all are frustrated about how i take the restore power. dangerous work, 25000 alignment from around the country have come here to louisiana to help cruise from 32 different states, right?

and 2 of them lost their lives in the process of trying to get power back up. and we're gonna work and 247. let's go to christine roomies in elizabeth new jersey and the situation that was was pretty great, wasn't it? it was a couple days ago where i'm standing was completely under water. we wouldn't be able to be standing here and today the water is all gone. but what destruction and death didn't leave in its wake. sadly, in this apartment complex, behind me, 4 people were killed, 25 total and all of new jersey. that's the highest total of any state from the storm and all of that is due to the flooding. if you look over here, you can see sadly where that family passed away, 3 of them were from the same family. a neighbor was also in that apartment building the water were told was up to the top of the doorway. here, neighbors on the 2nd floor. tell me that they received calls from people on the

lower floors asking for help. the water rose so quickly, many didn't see it coming, didn't expect it somewhere sleeping. it happened at night, but the people in the 2nd floor said that at that point there stairs were flooded with water. they couldn't open the doors because the water pressure was so great. so now after the fact this entire complex has been evacuated, there are some 12000 people without power. here you see the devastation of the vehicles. the water was to the roof of these vehicles. and now this is what we're seeing all over new jersey stranded cars. covered in mach people cleaning out houses and basements that are soggy because of the water, which is mostly, again, receded in most parts of the state. although in other parts of the state, still rivers are peaking, so there is more flooding expected elsewhere, even though the weather now is beautiful,

the damage goes on. it just tells you how quickly and unexpectedly this all happened, all of the people i've spoken to in this community tell me that they've never experienced anything like it. and i spoke to people who've lived here in this building for 20 years and other parts of town for 20 years. and that includes super storm stand, sandy, back in 2012, which was a record setting storm as well. but this area did not see major damage at that time . since sandy, billions of dollars have been spent to harden and protect the coastal areas from flooding. but these were rivers that rose so quickly and storm drains, drainage systems that were meant not built to handle. so much water at one time and they were just simply overwhelmed. and as a result, even people got warnings about flood alerts,

but they came to late and because of not being used to this kind of thing around here, they just didn't know where to go or what to do. and sadly, for some here, they didn't survive. christian salumi, thank you very much. indeed. we speak now to dr. christina dollars, senior climate scientist at the union of concerned scientists to join us from san francisco in california. thanks so much for being with a with us in terms of these extreme weather events. what you make the, the resilience planning that's been in place me clearly that hasn't perhaps been enough of it. what do you think's been missing and what are the areas that need to be addressed? so for many decades we've known that climate change would amplify extreme with our events, like the events that we've seen throughout the us this season. but we haven't properly invested in making our communities more resilient. and that means that there's a lot of deferred maintenance on our infrastructure and also means that there

aren't everywhere the proper systems in place to effectively warn people, effectively message what to do when disaster is approaching. and for some people, we, even when a major hurricane or wild hire is approaching, it can be very difficult to evacuate due to financial constraints. so there's a lot that needs to happen in order to make us communities more resilient in the face of climate change. because we know that the projections are for this to only get worse, and we will learn biden on thursday, said the latest events in the u. s. showed the climate crisis is here, is he put it and he talked of improvement in infrastructure. those kinds of projects usually take a lot of time, can the improvements be delivered fast enough to so infrastructure decisions are usually made looking out at a horizon of decades, right? we want our roads in our bridges to last 50 years. and so it's really critical that the decisions that we make now fully account for the potential range of climate

risks that we might see in the future. obviously we're already seeing the ways in which the deferred maintenance on our infrastructure is coming back to bite us because it was designed for a climate of the past. and that past climate is not a good indicator of what we're going to be experiencing now or what we're going to experience in the future. so the fact that we haven't kept up the maintenance on our infrastructure and haven't invested in all the enhancements that will be needed for climate change to make it climate resilient is really coming to a head with all of these climate disasters that didn't be on the u. s. government so often focused to hold on targets in the future as opposed to the, the current risks from, from climate change. you know, climate change is an interesting problem because for a long time the perception was and the reality was that these were effects that we were going to be experiencing decades into the future. and so in that sense, it's somewhat easier to think about targets for reducing emissions so that we stave

off those future effects. but we've spent so much time dithering both here in the us and as a world on what to do about climate change and what those emissions reductions targets should be that we've now come to a point where just reducing emissions isn't sufficient. it's incredibly necessary. really our 1st line of defense against the climate crisis, but because communities are now experiencing climate change, it is here. it is now it's happening already. we need to invest in making our communities more resilient. in some cases that might mean building a seawall to protect a community. in other places, it might mean increasing parkland along the river. so that when flooding occurs, when the river level rises, it's not getting to people's homes, but rather to open space. so there are a lot of different ways that communities are thinking about how to build their resilience. but yes, absolutely,

the time for doing that is now daughter christina doll. thank you very much indeed for talking to us. thank you for having me. as president grove, arden has ordered a review of all classified documents related to the september 11th attacks. any documents which can be declassified will then be released to the public within 6 months. our white house correspondent, kimberly how kit has more essentially, as we approach the 20th anniversary of those attacks on the pentagon and the world trade center in new york, september 11th attacks, the families of the victims, about 16 to 1800 of them, depending on which count you use have been pushing for the declassification for quite a while, and what they were saying is in their recently released letter is that they don't want president biden to visit new york city to commemorate that 20th anniversary of those attacks. unless you feel fills a campaign promise, and that campaign promised that he made was to essentially kick off the

investigation the review would allow for the release of documents. the family is allege could potentially expose saudi arabia in some form or fashion to the september 11th attacks. so in advance of the 20th anniversary, the president has now signed this executive order. what this does is essentially a direct cspi to begin this declassification process related to the $911.00 attacks that again, the family's allege has a link to the saudi government, or at least saudi officials. now i in terms of how this move forward, what we know is this will allow for at least an access to what until now has been kind of secret department of justice files that have the investigation of federal investigation but have never seen the light of day by the public. so what does the 2nd order does is it will essentially begin that review process that will allow for these documents to potentially be released over the next 6 months. but it's

important to note, it's not just the families of victims that have been pushing for this. increasingly we've seen members of congress including members of the presence own democratic party. in fact, the top sen. bob menendez recently saying that the u. s. government needs to know who is a friend, who is a foe, and they are also alleging that there are connections to saudi officials and the 911 attacks. and that's why this really start to gain momentum. so we'll be watching very carefully to see what comes out of this review of declassification process for the next 6 months. but for now, joe biden has made good on a campaign promise in advance of the 11 attacks the 20th anniversary by signing this executive order that could potentially reveal documents. families have been pressing to see for a generation. this is a news from london to the head, from protesting for change to packing up and leaving a report which is a mass exodus from lebanon will lead to a severe brain drain, australia reports,

flooding. and i think this may creep into paris more on that in a 2nd, but our batch of what, whether across the baltic states, it's transferred into western areas of russia. you know, summer just does not want to let go. so here's where we revisit paris. there's the risk of thunderstorms on saturday, and by monday we may pop up your temperature to 30 grease. it's almost a good 10 above where you should be looking largely finding drive across greece and turkey may see the od showered toward northern areas of greece, but it stumbled 26 degrees with some breezy conditions as well. we've got our storms across the gulf of guinea, but heavy as for senegal, the gambia into sierra leone free town as high as 26 degrees on tuesday. caesar the. ready too often of cornerstone is portrayed through the prism of war. but there were many
