security council resolution on freedom of travel, it'll be pretty hard to see how they would get, for example, that kind of relief to tell a bank or find out what are the economy bhatnagar is likely to lead to the new afghan government, which is expected to be and soon he says improving the economies, the priority. the products regarding the government that we will form. it will include all factions of the african people. i want to assure people that we are doing utmost efforts to improve their living conditions. the government will provide security because it is necessary for economic development, not only rough canister on the whole world, we are able to provide security. we are able to overcome other problems. we will not spend any effort to reach our objectives. meanwhile, officials from cars foreign ministry have landed in couple. it's another step towards getting the airports running again and ready to receive aid. cutter and turkey have already sent technical teams to help restore operations. that's 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 countries 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. dozens of afghan women have demonstrated outside the presidential policy and couple calling on the town and leadership to protect a woman's wise. one like all right, a society in which women are not active is a dead society. itala unofficial recently promised there would be a place for women in afghanistan, government, but not in the cabinets. many women fear

a returned to the brutality scene when the group last held power 20 years ago. a some, a bunch of aids been given exclusive access to july about and spoke to african women there my country, my 22 year old wisconsin is a medical student. she works part time to support her family because her father, who's an engineer has been out of work for a long time. she says the images of off guns clinging to plains, frankly, the country was painful for her to watch. she emphasizes with their fear, but once up guns to serve their country, regardless of who runs it a bit, but no, tell them and go sit. in cute is what? are you going to stay in the summer williams? is there a doctor? i should leave my country in purpose, my attention that i just finished. so it says there

be no problems for her. and her elder sister to go to school, the taliban has said schools will be segregated for boys and girls. this is one of the few private schools in july about since then to har. province's 900 educational institutions are still closed. and to september, the 15th, nearly a 1000000 students and almost 16000 teachers are at home. but the servants were not paid for months before the taliban to go over. among them 2300 female teachers. many who are very of working under taliban rule at been under hard regional hospital patients and female staff said there have been no disruption. segregation of fixes which the taliban has announced is already in place here. what is all of this is again even before that yes. yes. you put that on us would like this because in my car, he can't tell you all that he was in bed with his job.

but not everyone's convinced. the taliban has changed. dr. being it remembers the taliban government, which according to her was that islamic, nor pious north. but it love to go home because in 2 weeks we haven't seen anything bad. but i can tell you that they don't have people of high caliber or talent. if they want to govern, they have to have people who are highly qualified, who are to to the nation. they lou now reminds us of old times. they blew up our homes and killed our brothers in front of us. how am i supposed to trust them? we have no shoes with the taliban. we want them to safeguard the resources of the country. we are also muslims alone, not just this. he is ours as well. nearly every woman we spoke to say they're nervous of what will happen under the taliban. ready and officials told al jazeera issues such as mil, guardians, and company. women only need to be there in guest a journey more than 3 days. a lot of confusion arises from propaganda and functions

. and those who are coming out of their home, say so far, the taliban fighters have been respectful and not what they had imagined them to be less moody to we did the we were very afraid of the taliban when they took over, as we thought they would be the same brutal taliban we thought 20 years ago. but now we're more comfortable with them. they came and gave assurances to get back to work without any issues. and thank god they are supportive. women and unger hearted rulers are acceptable as long as they do not depress and work for the people and the country volleyball, and now has to prove it can deliver some of the job down there to learn about. you know, as president joe biden has been taking a look at the damage from oregon. ida in louisiana, 63 people have been killed across 8 states because they sent me reports from the bat me head city of elizabeth and new jersey. more than a day after ida barrel through the northeastern united states,

many parts of new jersey are still under water. but in elizabeth, where the floods retreated, it leaped cars, flooded homes and death in its wake. the water rose so quickly at this new jersey apartment complex. it caught many people off guard. it's merged vehicles, and pushed up against the doorways trapping for people inside. people who lived on the 2nd floor got calls from neighbors below. the lady will be you, she called my mom. she was like, oh, you know, can you open the door? we couldn't open a door because the water was so high. 6000 here have now been evacuated after the fact. nearly $12000.00 or without power. because the water line came up here in the water got as high as many cabals, front porch emerging, the lower levels, 6.3, feel water. by the time he got the flash fled alert, the water was already rising. he's lived here 20 years. we've had a little bit

a little bit like anywhere else, but this was extreme, like never in my while, the streams and dissipate stuff. you see in the movie stuff that's going on down south in new orleans. i got that. we're by bodies of water, but not here. we're in the middle. a city, new jersey governor, still murphy says it's clear where the blame lies as we continue to contend with the reality of climate change. it is no surprise that the storms are happening with greater frequency and greater intensity. this conversation is one that we will continue having probably for the rest of our lives in the state of louisiana, where i'd 1st made landfall on sunday. the death toll was lower, but hundreds of thousands of people across the state remain without power. i'm had no air. a no power when no generator, because see the power line is down, i can't get out of my car to my car to do anything. and everything, no gas, no meth, and i want to cry. on friday us president joe biden came to see for himself some of

the worst effected areas. and he had knowledge the need to hard in u. s. infrastructure to future storms coming in and seen. all pulls down. well, you know, i mean we go back better. i mean, you know, we know if it's underground, it's called a lot more money. but guess what? it says have more money, long term damages from ida are still being assessed, but expected to be in the billions of dollars. kristen salumi al jazeera elizabeth, new jersey still ahead and i'll just say that they say the protecting the last of the land, the butcher, people of chile declare war on want us to companies and this fate. toxic league from a diamond mine and gola kills 12 people, democratic republic of congo, ones compensation ah

and still we're seeing that line up. those heavy falls on saturday for their toward the south temperatures. really bouncing back nicely. south africa through but swanner, namibia and also in bob boy, but our next system is pulling into the western cape. so those winds will wind up and we've got some rain, so we'll see gus to about 40 kilometers per hour on sunday. that's it for me. thanks for your company. ah ah, this isn't my story. it's the story of my friend jesus. she told us that she didn't want to be here. she didn't want to live anymore. was too hard. a survivor dedicates her life to educating and saving others from suicide. we're the ones that are dying, where the ones that are losing our friends, and therefore we have to be the ones that we stand up and follow up because no one else is going to. where there is hope, a witness documentary on not just the

the me to data. reminder of our top story is this our fighting escalated between the taliban and a resistance group and the time you have valley enough, gannon on the margin is on tape is about 150 kilometers north of the capital capital. it's the only problem to hold out against the us secretary of state visit, cut out on sunday for talks and i've gotten this done as we blinking this as the taliban must stick to its promise. that in order for sanctions be less than joe biden says the us must do more to prepare for future storms. he's been in louisiana to see the impact of product can either they're buying that,

investing in infrastructure would save lives on money in the long run. 63 people have been killed. the us government may release classified files linked to the september the 11th attacks presidential by this audit, a full review of the documents. just before the 20th anniversary of the day, the twin towers in new york were hit. any papers which can be declassified could be made public within 6 months. why does correspondent kimberley hall get 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 of about 16 to 1800 of them, depending on which count you youth have been pushing for the declassification for quite a while and what they were saying is in the 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 it still fills a campaign promise, and that campaign promise that he made was to essentially kick off the investigation. the review would allow for the release of documents, the family of alleged could potentially expose saudi arabia in some form or fashion to the september 11th attacks. so in advance of the 20th anniversary of the us 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 this is

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, top sen. bob menendez recently saying that the u. s. government needs to know who is a friend and 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 started 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 document. families have been pressing to see for a generation kind of remind leverett as a form,

a member of the national security council and a former state department official. she says declassified documents may reveal embarrassing mistakes. there is no reason to have kept these files classified, that i knew i, when i was either in the clinton administration or the bush administration. there of course were mistakes in the states and intelligence mistake, and now a mistaken judgement. but those, all the american people had a right to see and understand what happened and why, who did what and when there's really no reason to keep them classified. even though in president biden, executive order that he issue today. there is a little bit of a call that he's keeping for himself for the u. s. government to preserve some documents that they say are of such enormous significance to national security. it'll be interesting to see what actually does come out and what is withheld. with 17, the hijackers being from saudi arabia, there has got to be more information there that have not come out. that would be

embarrassing if not to the saudi government, to at least the families and people who know who knew those saudis who are involved . but there is, there isn't one enduring question which i had when i was in the u. s. government never got an answer to and to this day, 20 years later, i still don't understand which is why did the u. s. government get so many saudis, out of the united states on airplanes right after $911.00 when the aerospace was close to everybody else. i was in the white house at the time and i didn't know the answer to that and 20 years later, i don't know the answer to that. that's something i'd like to know. and i think it probably could be embarrassing to the saudis, but i really don't know. machinery belonging to forestry companies has been set on fire in southern chile, as indigenous people demand, the return of ancestral lands. they say they've lost faith in the political process . latin america editor, lucy, and human spend a day with a father and son trying to protect their land and auto commune. this is disputed

territory, a wilderness when done battles between militarized police and indigenous ma put a rebel groups are frequent. this sign reads, territory and recovery forestry companies out of the way. we've come to meet marcello medina and his 16 year old son grandma who are fighting to take over this land little right. okay. is there any way this land belonged to my grandfather and was taken from him and we've come to recover it with my son. and i have been living here for a month, but the rest of the family gave up because they're afraid that someone might be injured, jailed or killed by militarized police. i think so. he blamed the forestry company that legally owned the land for burning his cabin, 3 times civilian. we want the forest companies to go back to where they came from. because this is the put a land in the marines and clear and eucalyptus trees, part of a lucrative forestry industry that sucking up most of the water. but at the top of

the hill, there's noises. it's what's left of the native forests that once covered south central chile replaced by imported species like eucalyptus and pine. the forest is brimming with moss ferns and other plants used for making my booty. medicine for some money in says this is used for dine wool and this weaving baskets we ever put way for us. my food said the native forest is life. that's why we protect it. and we have a spiritual relationship with it. it's as important as water. but outside of this magical forest, the land conflict is becoming more violent, taking the lives of scores of my food, chip, police, and chileans, who believe they've been equal right to live and work here. one of my pushes make up more than 10 percent of the population. i know the poor segment of society far away in the capital and indigenous not poochie. linguistic lisa langon is presiding over to the constitutional convention something unthinkable just

a few years ago. it's meant to send a message that a new constitution can lay the groundwork for a flurry, national state, and dialogue with those who are fighting for not tone him is not put you nation once each other. but militant leaders like won't be tuned. reject the entire process or the alone he got held without the only exception would be if the convention discuss territory and autonomy for them, the poor people in nation. but that's difficult to imagine. what does work you then will go to the why should i believe the country that killed and invaded messages? petune tells me he won't respond to a summons by a prosecutor of investigating him for alleged in legal possession of weapons of war . instead, he plans to drop out of sight, perhaps in the madison's native forest, or in the increasingly vast areas of south central chile that the julian state no longer seems to control the sea in human al jazeera may yet chinney democratic republic of congo says if one's compensation after a leak and

a diamond mind killed at least 12 people. it still happened in late july. it's thought to have come from a wastewater damn at the largest diamond field in neighbouring on gola. c, officials to say it seeped into a tributary of the congo river, making thousands of people l files among them as director of the congo base in water resources research center. he says it's still not clear what polluted the river, not beat up jelly or drinking. so that's what this does give us, and this is when does leave us. so what, that's what he does and what can we do that the munition to people? and this is actually what we, we've been getting and we still helped me so that we can see if that could happen immediately in the mid done. but also this should be addition from the source of the, the portion. so from what countries reflecting from the out see,

and also i'm going to, this is good to the source of the depletion and in the to get. so what's expected and we hope that the government is willing to talk. and this is really for me to see what that is to management and management. you know, want to get the financial crisis and 11 on as pushing people farther into poverty. nearly a quarter of the population doesn't have enough food. so high that has this report from the governor much of our car, but a fuel tank o blast killed several people just a couple of weeks ago. they've queued up for hours trying to get hold of the cheapest food. they can buy nearly 80 percent of lebanon is living below the poverty line. as its experience is the worst economic crisis in decades. people are called the poorest region in the country are feeling it the most. the

government has the highest food insecurity in lebanon. while a lamp, we used to buy meat, chicken, investable. now we count. sometimes we don't have enough money to even buy bread food as an affordable delay at the live. you know? another car was devastated further last month when a fuel tanker exploded, killing at least 30 people soldiers, these petro from the black markets, and they were handing it out to locals. well it says is injuries a testament to the desperate state people are in because of fuel medical and food shortages. and then the dollar dudley got my newborn had a temperature i needed petrol to run the car to get her medication. so i went to get some of the free hand out, but even that cost us our lives, nothing is for free agencies. and now receiving hundreds of calls a day asking for food handouts, we are able to distribute $300.00 to $4.00 on the 3rd month, which is only last thing 10 days for the family. at the worst case, currently,

since 2 years, people are only eating bread with the teeth. the impoverished area has had the highest job losses during the pandemic. now this is some of the food a that's right for the most vulnerable families here in our car. and they'll receive a box like this. it has the most basic heights and you've got powdered milk. they you have cooking oil and even lentils and beans. but none of this is enough for a family of 4 or 5 people, and that will definitely not last them even half a month. no more than 20000 families in the region are on a waiting list for assistance. got that hired on looking at love. we're grateful for agencies helping that. it's only a temporary solution. we need to revive our industries again and fix our broken infrastructure. we probably wouldn't broken it. how people feel attending the funeral to to family members that died in the fuel tank of last got

a car is the center of poverty. my son died for just 5 leaders of fuel and they don't care about a car. we lost our children, and none of those response will ask us the united nation says lebanon is facing an urgent humanitarian crisis off the years, a systematic corruption. the majority of the population is skipping meals, and as they feel increasing, neglected, they can only but take life one day. at a time, thought a height of al jazeera caught northern lebanon. ah, this is all. these are the top stories, fighting escalated between the taliban and the resistance group. and the punch in the valley and afghan has done. the mountainous enclave is about 150 kilometers north of the capital couple. the region has been the only province to hold out against taliban rule. and the us secretary of state will visit,

cut out on sunday for talks are not gonna stand. antony blinking says the taliban must stick to its promises in order for sanction.
