it but it's real whipped up high wind and high wave with detailed coverage of government and up to still full rent. and all the children not only put them from around the world. hundreds of children have been born to women abused by fighters. in addition to social pressure, you can only carry their religion if both parents are leading. i me ah, hello, this is edge data cobbles, airport is back up and running. civilian commercial flights in afghanistan have taken off for the 1st time since the capital fell to the taliban. the airport hadn't been running since the last u. s. truth withdrew last week, but it's now been repaired with the help of technical teams from turkey and cut out

a plane full of aid has arrived from doha. in the past few hours, victoria gate can be reports, 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 have 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, come 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 a gun is done 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. well, let's talk now to karen donnelly,

his senior vice president for crisis report response, recovery and development at the international rescue committee join just now from new york. thank you for being with us. so clearly a step in the right direction that the, the airport and cobble is, is up and running again. but just a few domestic flights. that's not nearly enough. is it to get the much needed aid to people there? know i've seen the reports of slides starting to resume a capital airport and around that kinda stuff today. it's an encouraging sign as you say, but it really is only a small part of what's needed to avert a deepening of the humanitarian crisis in the country. getting flights in getting supplies in is critical. it's not clear at this point how long it will be before the airport resumes full operational functionality. but even when it does, that's only 11 of the pieces that's needed to get services operational health services, working at the economy, running in the countries as

a lot still needs to be done. and in terms of aid, what, what is the most immediate need right now that you will see most immediate needs are for people who have been displaced, especially those who have been recently display center, cobble and other major cities. afghanistan has, are 3000000 people displaced, over half a 1000000 of those are displaced this year alone. and those who have been very recently displaced are an urgent need of a shelter of food, of water and health care support. those are the most immediate needs, but it's important that we remember 18000000 people in afghanistan or a native humanitarian assistance that's about half of the total population. the country has suffered from years of drought and conflict. the health services, despite the gains that have been made in the recent years, are very fragile and precarious situation. and the country is now facing a cash and liquidity prices as people are unable to access their wages aren't able to, to access their savings. prices are increasing as well. so it's, it's

a very potent mix of risks facing the outcome people. and you mentioned that the humanitarian situation that has been a long term problem in afghanistan. but how, how much has it been compounded by the events of the last few weeks? it's very much a long term situation. the international rescue committee we've worked and i've gone on since $988.00. so we've been working with our communities through cycles of crisis over the decades that we've worked there. what we see today is a crisis that's compounded by the history of conflict of displacement of under development, more recently by the colored crisis. and of course, by drove and food insecurity. fighting in the last several months displacement called, but i find in the last several months have only added to the, to the burden of humanitarian need in the country. what we see today were government services are not functioning at the level that they were for

international financing. for much of those government services has been suspended. and where aid organizations have not yet fully resumed organ operations, means that for many afghans who are already in a very precarious situation, there sliding further and further into and to really desperate need and will continue to do so, unless we're able to find a way to reverse some of those trends. so how many, how many flights? so just give us an idea of what, what the scale is of flights going in and out. that needs to happen in, in cobble foot for you to get organization like yours to get a to people. i don't have specific information on the, on the level of flight operations that would be needed. the u. n. is working to establish an air bridge and that will be an important part of getting supplies in the health service in the country realized heavily on medication and cervical

supplies being important through the airport food imports, nutritional supplements are critical. so i think it's really important as soon as possible to restore the airport to full functionality without access into the districts in the country, which are far from the time i can cobble cobble airport where the needs are greatest without the ability to access those districts without the ability for people to be able to provide for themselves reopening the airport is only going to be a small part of the solution. good to talk you. karen donnelly, thank you. thank you. ad doctors and nurses say the afghan health care system is close to collapse. many hadn't been paid for the last 3 months. charles strafford reports from campbell island. the czar had to travel 12 hours with his sick mother to this cobble hospital to get the life saving diana's his treatment she needs. if she isn't treated every couple of days,

doctor said she could die within 2 weeks. among the facts and they gave him, several people are living in poverty. the situation is bad. patients need diocese and treatment. if 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 in afghanistan. the dialysis department is mainly funded by the world bank, along with money from the previous government. the hospital staff say they haven't seen any cash for 3 months. they come by 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 i've gone a stone like other western institutions and governments. it said it was proof the tale barney's keeping its promises to protect rights. before money is released

among the boys amongst up, 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 until about if the world bank stops helping, especially in the health sector, and god forbid, some of the hospitals, most basic facilities are in need to prepare. the lift is broken, and 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 encouraged 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 and help society. experts say i've got it stands health sector would collapse if it

wasn't the international aid. and there are big concerns about billions of dollars of afghan cash that is 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 hospitals, 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 loaners as the budgets. so take a little bit of time, but should approve this with no indication as to when the taliban will announce a new government,

a no definitive timeline for international furnace to be released. he's probably going to start sick and vulnerable, who suffer. most. johnson offered al jazeera, cobble. a fighting is continuing in the last pocket of resistance against taliban control, with both sides, claiming advances. the pension of addie which is walled off by mountains held off both soviet occupation and the previous tolerable government in the 1990 s. national resistance front made up of malicious and form, ask and security force. members say it pushed back the tyler bonds, attempts taking the territory. another news syrian government forces have, shall be southern rebel held enclave of good and bad injuring civilians. that's after 3 days sci fi, which so russian military, much military patrol, the rebel stronghold. but people in that i say the government did not allow aid in and accused president bashar said, forces of trying to take control of the area. the saudi led coalition fighting the

hootie rebels in yemen, says it has intercepted 3 missile attacks. they targeted the men in the oil, which eastern region of saudi arabia, as well as jazz and nat geo, on a close to the border with yemen in the south. a still head on edge, is it a brazil's worth strapped in nearly a century? leaf rest was drive the goblin warning. it may start rationing energy, lebanon turns to syria for desperately needed energy supplies. as a technology crisis pushes more people into property. ah hello gets a few away. we go with your headlines for the americas. we may have something cooking up in the bay of can pet. she just seen the rotation there is to do check

back with us on this 1. 1 thing for sure. we do have is hurricane larry. so this one's expect it to intensify to a category for through the weekend, mostly out toward the central atlantic oceans and not posing a major threat, but we will see if it moves toward bermuda in the days to come. got her tropical moisture fallen across the top end of south america, a heavy falls for coastal sections of columbia through the northwest. the venezuela impacting the venezuelan andes on monday for their towards the south. temperatures have fallen, but what weather? pushing out toward the south atlantic, porto allegro could just still see a few spits of rain, but the temperature at 22 degrees away we go to the western us, the desert, southwest star temperature at 40 degrees in vegas. so cow, los angeles at $33.00 and monsoon or boy stir for arizona into new mexico on sunday for western canada. what through coastal areas through the fraser valley trying to see if it will squeak over on the other side of the rockies and unsettled for the

great lake, straight toward the northeast, trying to get a hive 25 degrees on sunday. that's it for me. bye for now. the the latest news as it breaks the storms spared the worse for a long island, which fear to direct it, but it's still whipped up high winds and high ways with detailed coverage. the government and set up is still too risky and all the children, not only program the kids from around the world, hundreds of children have been blown to women abused by fighters. in addition to social pressure can only carry their religion if both parents are you the, the the

a again, you are watching as a reminder of our top stories. the 1st civilian flight has left cobbles, airports, all along, took over half cans. it hadn't been running since the last us troops left last week has been carried out with the help of cuts out and 30 humanitarian aid from cutler . as a rise in a common apple, united nations has warned that afghan is done is on the verge of a food crisis. taliban a still try to form new come. fighting is continuing in the punchy of valley. the last area, not on the title bar control. national resistance front says it pushes the top on back. the us president will visit storm ravaged parts of new jersey and new york next week to assess the damage from hurricane item. dozens of people were killed after the storm hit louisiana and left torrence of rain along the east coast. but

the clean, i've been hampered by problems with infrastructure and housing. gabriel elizondo reports from washington security cameras record the moment a basement in a home starts to fill up with the rainwater and then water pressure from hurricane ida is too much to bear and the walls give in the family was able to escape. they were lucky in new york city, many were not 13 people were killed. after being trapped inside basement apartments, they ranged in age from an 86 year old woman to a 2 year old boy and both his parents all found dead and flooded basement apartment . they were unable to escape housing experts say up to 300000 illegal basement dwellings in new york city may not conform to safety codes and don't have proper drainage or escape routes. many of the people who live in them are on low incomes and often immigrants who can't afford to live anywhere else. the city doesn't have

exact numbers of illegal basement dwellings, but the governor said floods are the new normal. so they need to find answers with the higher elevations now, where the flash floods which were unknown before this is the 1st time we've had a flush, a flash flood event of this proportion in the city of new york. and in the outlying areas we haven't experienced before, but we should expect it. the next time in louisiana recovery efforts are hampered by power outages and continued flooding. residents of a senior living community were evacuated after living without power for several days. the staff had all evacuated days before leaving residence alone and in the dark. no, nobody showed up. no body, not one person showed up to come check on. all 8 electricity transmission lines feeding southwest louisiana were knocked offline by ida officials say power won't be completely restored to many areas until the middle of this week and the hardest

to areas until september 29th. it's clear after hurricane items something needs to be done. and, and joe biden is looking towards congress to take more action on his multi trillion dollar infrastructure plan. that he says will make the us better prepared for extreme weather. and climate change. biden is planning to tour the hardest to areas in new jersey and new york on tuesday. gabriel, joe, i'll just either washington and brazil's worst route in nearly a century is drawing up reza wise and threatening its energy supply. water levels in many hydro electric dams have dropped to record lows. and now the government says it may have to stop 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 sandy things like he's in the canyon, so there is no space for all the boats to maneuver. when one boat enters, the tourists 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, she used to catch $1520.00 fish day, now it's been reduced to 5 or 6 days. and now the drought a 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 envelope again. 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 drought also devastating coffee crops, brazil is the world's biggest exporter. the 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 narrow 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 20 iran's president says,

his country is ready to revive talks on the 2015 nuclear deal, but not on the west. and pressure. talks have been poor since june. and france has called for an immediate return to the negotiating table after a un nuclear watched report confirmed increasing atomic activity. and then the longer going through more to man. i've said previously that we will definitely have negotiations, you know, order of business, but not with the pressure that the other parties are pursuing. this pressure has failed before the americans in european to experience multiple times that these negotiations along with pressure do not work. what we are pursuing in these talks is the listing of the cool sanction 11 on the deepening economic crisis has led to a thawing of relations with syria over a fuel import deal. egyptian gas will be imported to jordan and use to make electricity, which will then flow through the syrian grid to 11 on the us backs the plan, despite its sanctions against serious government food and few shortages,

a crippling lebanon's economy. man, you can have a nice party ask for help from syria for 11 onto suggestion. gosh angel, damien electricity through syria. how does the syrian start welcome to request and assured us it was ready to oblige both parties a great to follow up on the detailed technical issues via junk technical team. christopher abbey, nasa is the director of the lebanon program at the middle east institute in washington. he says it's possible electricity from syria could be supplied to lebanon within months. it's an interesting visit, given the context that lebanon's going through right now, the humanitarian crisis. i've been crippling the country, people have been losing their lives effectively because of lack of access to hospitals, lack of access to clean water, et cetera. 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 dot forward, but also in the heart of it really is 1st of all the humanitarian crisis in live in on. 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, reaching the wheels for such a deal to be taking place for the liberties delegation to actually had to damascus . i don't think we're talked here. we're probably talking weeks to months. the infrastructure is actually inflate. the problem is that there's a lot of the grid, a lot of parts of the grid that actually need maintenance because they did get damaged during the civil war and conflict and syria. 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 as a result of having to import the large quantities of fuel of the economic crisis 11 on its pushing people further into poverty, sought a higher reports from the northern region of cod, 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, we used to buy meat, chicken, investable. now we can see that sometimes we don't have enough money to even buy bread food as an affordable. you can play 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. been the dollar above a dad. they 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 3 $100.00 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 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 car. and they'll receive a box like this. it has the most basic items. you've got pounds, it's 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 bought a broken 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 liters of fuel and they don't care about a car. we lost our children, and none of those response will ask about us. the united nation says lebanon is facing an urgent humanitarian crisis. after years, a systematic corruption, the majority of the population is skipping meals, and as they feel increasingly elected, they can only but take life one day. at
