history on algebra, we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world. no matter what you call hand era will bring you the news and current affairs use. oh, i this is al jazeera. ah, you're watching the news, our life from headquarters in delphi. i'm jerry and obligated coming up in the next 60 minutes. caballo airport reopened the 1st commercial flight to take off off the repairs are made to the runway and communication system. relaying from food and fuel shortages, lebanon pursues

a us back to important gas and electricity through syria. brazil's worth drove to nearly a century. these reservoirs drive, the government warns it may start rationing energy. frances worse, current environment outbreak unfold several times over the way. the hospitals are overwhelmed in french polynesia, on caribbean island and in $4000.00 foot. but that remedy coffee was calling on football, governing bodies to take a hotline to be plus. the mack for stephan delights the home, found the whole position for the dutch grown pre me. hello, welcome to the news hour. we begin and i've got to stop where a couple airport is back up and running. civilian commercial flights have taken off for the 1st time since the capital fell to taliban forces last month. and this follows repairs to the runway radar. with the help of technical teams from cats are

and turkey. victoria game begins are coverage, african food and airplane cobble international airport bound for the northern city of missouri. sharif technical teams have been working for days to repair the badly damaged runway and radar system. and on saturday, the efforts paid off. this is the 1st domestic flight from cobble since it fell to taliban forces last month. and apple staff say they're looking forward to more in the coming days. tires were very happy because the internal flights of started. and now we're taking our wages and everything is going according to plan on. the reopening should soon allow afghan a stand to reconnect with the outside world and vital a to get in. but the taliban says more what needs to be done before the apple is fully operational. again, i'm on and as you know the it was destroyed by the americans. they burned down

every possibility. therefore we needed time to repair it. we predict that within a few days, international flights will be in progress. ation, experts say international airlines are unlikely to resume flights to cobble until airport security is guaranteed. it's going to take a lot of convincing and reassurance to have a foreign airline fly, not just over afghanistan, because over flight is off limits now to but to afghanistan, we're talking about across that are insured by 3rd party companies and leasing companies that will say no airline you are not able to take that that cross there because we can't guarantee that it will get out in the state that we required. and so on. thousands of people still want to leave cobble, and the taliban leaders have promised they will be allowed. some will see the gradual reopening of the airport as a sign that keeping their word victoria gates and be al jazeera when we're fighting has taken place in the last pocket of resistance against the taliban. and i've got a pads your valley with both sides, claiming advances. the national resistance,

france is made up of militias and former africa security for members. and is the last group to hold out against taliban rules. for the former off gun vice president general assad? i says he's in pens your valley. he posted a video rejecting reports the taliban had taken control of the region. bush. yes, i see you are the managing the current situation. there is no doubt that the circumstances are difficult. the face attacks by god that douglas and taliban, who backed by buckets done defending homeland and that assistance continues the enemy as a foot casualties. we have also taken casualties. yes, they are the body and ceremony for some of the fighters to face attacks the enemy at 2 or 3 positions. but we remain in complete control situation and verified reports. the taliban had taken pens. your spark celebratory gunfire across couple on friday nights. but falling bullets left several people dead and

dozens injured. doctors and nurses say the afghan health care system is close to collapse. many haven't been paid for the last 3 months. troll stratford reports from travel alone. the czar had to travel 12 hours with his sick mother to this cobble hospital to get the life saving dialysis treatment she needs if she isn't treated every couple of days, dr. saying she could die within 2 weeks. long. the fact that you're going to get there, people are living in poverty. the situation is bad. patients need diocese and treatment . they don't get it on the foreign aid stops. and if people can't afford the treatment, it's going to be very difficult on this is the largest public hospital and i've gone histone. the dialysis department is mainly funded by the world bank along with money from the previous government. but hospital staff say they haven't seen any cash for 3 months. they can buy vital equipment and medicine and they lost received

their salaries in may. doctors say the situation is critical and it could potentially get worse because soon after the taliban retook power, the world bank said it was freezing. hundreds of millions of dollars in funding for african stone, like other western institutions and governments. it said it once, proof the tale barney's keeping its promises to protect rights before money is released among the boys amongst up. and we used to be given money for the project and patient's medicine. now all the material is finished. we have nothing in 6 months like this. these problems did not start the telephone. if the world bank stops helping, especially in the health sector. and god forbid, some of the hospitals, most basic facilities are in need of repair. the lift is broken, an elderly and infirm patients have decline flights of stairs. those in a critical condition, a carried up on stretches their 86 female staff members at the hospital. despite

fears, the taliban would tell them to go home when they took control of cobble, they say it's all about actively encourage them to continue their work. more thinking whether hey, job and i come and go with ease. i want them to let me wet because i studied hard for this job. they shouldn't ignore my education. my wishes that they left me to work and help society. experts say i've got a stance health sector would collapse if it wasn't the international aid. and there are big concerns about billions of dollars of afghan cash that he's being frozen by western governments and institutions. staff at this hospital say their biggest fear is whether the taliban can better manage a system that has been close to breaking point for years. this is the hospital's oncology department used to be funded by the previous government. doctors tell us many of the cancer patients here won't survive because they started getting treatment too late. none of the staff in this department have been paid for 3

months either, and millions of dollars that the previous administration signed off on for this year is now in limbo because of the sudden change of power. fortunately it is on which it's projects, it's not depend to the any international donors as the mental budgets. so take a little bit of time, but should approve this with no indication as to when the taliban would announce a new government, a no definitive timeline for international furnace to be released. he's probably gonna stand sick and vulnerable will suffer the most. char stratford, al jazeera cobble, now group of women rallying for their rights have been prevented from marching to the presidential palace in kabul. the gas was reportedly fire to this 1st the crowd, a taliban official recently promise. there would be a place for women in afghanistan, government, but not in the cabinets. i'm the one of the woman's who they were able to

speak to anyone. i came outside to talk, we call a bond and to help women who didn't come to go to work, go to school and want to be the wife of them. well, many women fear are returned to brutality, seen when the group last held power 20 years ago. but taliban officials say there are different and women are only afraid because of propaganda or some of job aid got exclusive access to the city of gyla bad and spoke to afghan women there. my country. 22 year old was gone, is a medical student. she works part time to support her family because her father who is 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 the country, regardless of who runs it. because it met no sentiment.

institute is what are you going to stay in the summer williams is or me because the doctor who i should so is my country in people my business hosting is country michigan, michigan. 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 linda har. province's 900 education 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 an under har, regional hospital patients and female staff said there has been no disruption.

segregation of sexes, which the taliban has announced is already in place here. and what is all of this is again, even before that about him i yes, yes. he put that on us would like because in my car, the contrary of the few months been back. so coming with his job, but not everyone is convinced the thought about has changed. dr. being it remembers the taliban government, which according to her was there is lumnick nor pious nor, but he's got 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. and officials told al jazeera issues such as mil, that company women only need to be there in guest a journey of more than 3 days. a lot of confusion arises from propaganda and assumptions. 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 live movie to we did the we were very afraid of the taliban when they took over, as we thought they will 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 younger hearts. the rulers are acceptable as long as they do not depressed and work for the people and the country. the taliban now has to prove it can deliver some of the job done

severe to learn about. well, the us says, most of the 57000 african evacuations, who are staying at its largest middle east. they're basing cats are, have been flown out. some were sent to processing point in europe, while most of the others were taken directly to the us. but at present, we've got less than $1400.00 on the installation. and those are principally divided into 2 categories. the 1st categories of folks who are, are awaiting onward movement, and we hope to move them to have things go according to plan. will have a very small number remaining and l need. and then a small segment of folks who for in to ensure that they have the medical care that they need their remaining behind until they're ready to travel front him or head on in his hour, including the harrowing stories for mothers who are seeking just as for their sons disappear during columbia, civil war. not backing down more approaches in thailand against the government.

different as the prime minister when the vote of confidence in parliament, in support. we'll hear from an emotional naomi. we're going to take another break from tennis after her. us open exit. ah, but 1st, syria says it's ready to health crisis, hit lebanon by allowing gas and electricity to transit through its territory. a senior lebanese delegation is in damascus in the highest level official visits and syria's war began 10 years ago. food and fuel shortages of crippled loving on the economy, enforce cutbacks in essential services, and now be rude to seeking to import gas from egypt and electricity from georgia and using syrian infrastructure. the u. s. backs the plan despite maintaining sanctions against the shuttle as a government in syria. jenny jenny, as

a nice party to help from syria for 11 to pass gyptian gas and jordan in electricity through syria. the syrian, sorry, welcome to request and assured us it was ready to oblige. both parties agree to follow up on the detailed technical issues via junk technical team. let's talk about this with the christoph, i've been a thief who's the director of the lebanon program at the middle east institute in washington, d. c. he's joining via skype from boston. thanks for speaking to us and al jazeera . so, as we're saying 1st such level in a 1st such visit, excuse me, in 11 years, just give me your initial reading into it and tell me how you think it's going to impact lebanon. thank you. thanks for having me. it's an interesting visit given the context that live in on going through right now. the humanitarian crisis that you've alluded to has been crippling the country. people have been losing their lives effectively because of lack of access to hospitality, to hospitals, lack of access to clean water, etc. so this really comes out of necessity 1st of all,

but also given the potential lifting or at the very least evening of restriction that the u. s. had imposed on countries companies, entities, dealing with the regime. seeing flexibility coming from the u. s. has definitely helped propel but forward, but also in the heart of the treaty is 1st of all the humanitarian crisis in living . but also the interesting regional dynamics that are happening on the economic level as well. with jordan, with egypt that are also in a way of reaching the wheels for such a deal to be taking place for the liberties delegation to actually had to damascus today. right. but you know, christophe, emery, analysts say that the reason this has been facilitated and particularly with the u . s. s. blessing is because of the iranian oil tankers that are now currently on their way to 11 on. and these are rated old tankers, were coordinated by has butler. so do you agree with that? so i think it's an interesting chicken or egg dilemma here because although both

announcements came at the same time 2 weeks ago, both of them have been in a way in the making for many, many weeks before i negotiate. because have a natural, la, announced the iranian oil tankers when he spoke on television. and shortly afterwards, the american ambassador in the us announced that she was willing to facilitate this correct. so, so that announcement came at the same day effectively. although again, both both plans were shaping up. so the announcement coming at the same day, it is in a way very interesting has blown away by striking 1st really played this proactive diplomatic card. forcing the us in a way into a situation where, where they effectively lose faith and some in some way or form. because if they were to follow through and in both sanctions, then it would be poorly perceived because in a way reinforced this conspiracy or this, each theory that has been promoting or the past weeks and months that the us really

has been imposing this embargo in a way on lebanon, and if it weren't to go through that has been perceived domestically as the one entity dot and away saved the lebanese, by producing or by being able to import some of this fuel. so by striking 1st and away has been lower, wasn't a win win situation. although if you were to think about it, really, tankers coming in from iran are very, very tiny drop in an ocean. and away, when it comes to meeting the, meet the needs of the lebanese market, right? right, right. but it is so help it is any, well, any help is welcome. a lot of people say, no matter how small at this point, because of the crisis that lebanon is facing. but let me ask you this. i mean, what's really interesting as well is to see how the u. s. off a sudden is not ready to lift sanctions. or some of the sanctions, at least that the u. s. is placed on syria just to try and offer another alternative to iran has butler. that's true. so i would be careful,

potentially letting thing lifting the sanctions. i potentially think that this is an exception to the rule. it's important to see like how that develops and how the integrity of the entire function system is really perceived in the days ahead. i don't think that this is only a lebanese play for say, i think this is more of a regional play. jordan is a very close allied to washington dc. jordan is suffering from a lot of fiscal pressures right now. they are over supplying effectively. they have an oversupply electricity that they actually pay for. so part of that component it had to do with sending pressures fiscal and non cri, fiscal and economic pressures off. jordan, who will also be one of the beneficiaries really in, in this deal. so i think it's more of a multi faceted deal where definitely the u. s. is in a way, playing or competing, i would say, well, maybe not competing, but at least playing well we can say competing with, with iran in a way, in terms of rain ends up providing that. so that love and does not fall into the

further into this fear of iran or that around doesn't end up being perceived as really the facilitator or the said, you're in the price because it's really from what i understand and correct me if i'm wrong here. but this deal, this jordanian egyptian supply is going to need many months and perhaps years to be operational. is that correct? it will say, wow, i don't think we're here. we're probably talking weeks to months. the infrastructure is actually in place. the problem is that there's a lot of the grid, a lot of parts of the grids that actually need maintenance because they did get damaged during the civil war and conflict and syria. the technical part of things is not going to take more than a few months to actually achieve and this remains away the only given the current state, right? so when you're under water, it's stuff to really think further ahead and right in the medium and longer term. unfortunately, the government has 30 years really to think through contingency plans for a scenario where today this will take a few months,

but it will eventually contribute. it will not resolve the problem. it will definitely ease the pressure off the lebanese people. off the foreign currency reserves that are being depleted right as a result of having to import the large quantities of fuel. thank you so much, kristof c for speaking to us from boston. thank you so much for having me. now the economic crisis 11 on as pushing people further into poverty, verify us reports in the northern region, where people are increasingly desperate. 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. well, i used to buy me chicken investable. now we count. sometimes we don't have enough

money to even buy bread food as an affordable you at the live, you know, another car was devastated further last month when a fuel tanker exploded, killing at least 30 people. soldiers sees petro from the black markets, and they were handing it out to locals. and it says 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 handout, but even that cost us our lives. nothing is for free agencies and now receiving hundreds of calls a day asking for food handout, we are able to distribute around $300.00 to $4.00 on the 3rd month, which is only last thing 10 days for the family. its the worst case currently. since 2 years, people are only thing 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 cars. 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. it's only a temporary solution. we need to revive our industries again and fix our broken infrastructure with our water. broken is how people feel attending the funeral to to family members that died in the fuel tank, a blast or 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 about our pharmacy in the united nation says

lebanon is facing an urgent humanitarian crisis off to use a systematic corruption. the majority of the population is skipping meals, and as they feel increasingly neglected, they can only but take life one day. at a time thought a height of al jazeera, northern lebanon, brazil's worse drought, and nearly a century is drawing up reservoirs and threatening its energy supply. water levels and many hydro electric dams have dropped to record lows. the government says it may have to start rationing electricity. emily su reports, this is the furnace reservoir next to one of the main hydro electric dams in the brazilian state meanest arise water levels. there have dropped 15 meters since last year caused by the worst route brazil has seen and more than 90 years. resident say there's barely enough water for boats to operate. that much of

a certainty. the water level has gone down a lot. several send things like he's in the canyon, so there is no space for all the boats to maneuver. when one boat enters, the tourist will take a picture and leave, so the next boat can enter because there is no space for all the boats to enter together. record low rainfall is also affecting fish farms in the region. beg, looking to be c, v. a used to catch 1520 fisher day now it's been reduced to 5 or 6. and now the drought is squeezing energy supplies in a country that relies on hydro power plants for 2 thirds of its electricity. the government has warned that rationing could be next. problem i said, the problem is serious. i appeal to you at home. i'm sure that you can turn off a light now. turning off one light helps, it saves energy and water for hydro electric plants, water levels are a 10 to 15 percent. and most of these hydroelectric plants were at the limit. some

will stop working if this water crisis continues. consumers already feeling the impact power bills are going up, as well as the prices of basic goods such as grains and meet him, but put his blue buggy in december, my electricity bill was a 164 dollars this month. it's $235.00 using the same number of phrases without changing anything on the price has gone up a lot. it's hard to work like this. the drugs also devastating coffee crops, brazil is the world's biggest exporter. production is expected to fall by quarter. this season, a situation made worse by cold snap in july, experts say amazon deforestation which has accelerated under the bowl. so now government has played a role in causing the crisis. and with more dry weather expected throughout september, life could get more difficult for brazilians. and the 2 i'll just 0. let's go analysis on this and the cross over to brazilian joining via skype is graciela test

. she's a professor from the school of public policies at the julia fergus foundation. thanks so much for talking to us on al jazeera. how worrying is a situation in brazil right now because of the drought? it's very worried that we had a similar situation to sell some one. and we ended up coffee election off the president by dam biden. damn, we also had to rational electricity and now we're going to the same situation. my grand plenty years. right. that's exactly what i want to talk to you about. in fact, as brazil, at the point where the rationing energy is going to be needed. yeah, it's better probably that if they are trying to, to manage that with the prices of energy, people do reduce the consumer. they can, they can think about not ration,

but it seems like going so, so guess what point where it will have to happen. yeah. and how is this all impacting livelihoods? because reports point to food prices climbing, for example. yeah, yeah, food prices and actually the price of energy is so high that it's so faxing slaves and not always separate persons and hardly specially the florida for whom the value on energy is higher for some off the household budget. how is this affecting the government? yeah, exactly. you took out the wonder presidents by them because those who had a high like for a call and couldn't really elect the successor because of this. he was a high cost. and now during the 20 years, and my mom, you best were maybe use

a structured for me ration and this should have the fact present both on auto sense of real action. already has a low approval among population. right. so do you think that the government is taking enough measures to kind of get a handle on the situation now? or what does the both scenario governments need to do? sure, brazilians to reassure them of the situation. the minister of mines and men are just sad that the want to be in the off. what's your energy pride, what out of the question. so i think it was just waiting for the crisis to so don't happen before the election, but now he's, he's like, wait this long time and the most. so why he should have

been done before, especially in best, the need for strokes are covered from not one is going to affect the population's going to affect the economy any going to affect the re election? well, ok, thank you so much. grab your test effort. speaking to us from brazil. yeah, thank you very much. still ahead on the auto renews our no sense of security. why bella, russian pro democracy activist, living in georgia state, they could soon be deported. as more animal species are added to the endangered list, we reveal what's brought some types of fish back from the brain. and the advantage india and the 4th cricket test against england action from day 3 coming up and for a

hello from dell hi, it's great to be with you. speaking of though we've.
