around the world, you will actually want accountability from the people who are running their countries. and i think often people's voice is not heard because it's not part of the mainstream news narrative. obviously we cover the big stories and report on the big events going on. but we will say, will tell a story that people generally don't have a voice whenever chance. never be afraid to hand up not a question. and i think that's what they were when he does the all the questions for people who should be accountable. and also we get people to give them view of what's going on. the news. this is al jazeera. ah hello, i'm back to go. this is been use our on al jazeera life or my headquarters. coming up in the next 60 minutes, renewed fighting in the pan g valley taliban forces surrounding the last 5 of

resistance to their rule of afghan ethnic tension. slayer in montenegro protest dropped against the serbian orthodox churches. inoculation of a new archbishop also the sour i've gotten for another in no way hung up and aiming to remove celebrities from the spotlights. china, impose this new room from the entertainment industry to promote so called traditional value and support. world number one actually bought it out of the funnel grand slam of the faith and they'll straighten was beaten in round 3 of us opened by 100 shelby rogers. me thank you for joining us. the battle for control of afghanistan span g valley is intensify with taliban and resist inside is both claiming to have the upper hand.

the region surrounded by mountains north of cobble is the last to hold out against stanley band roll. more fierce fighting is being reported between the national resistance front, made up of malicious and form rock gun security force members. and taliban forces both sides claim they've infected heavy losses. a top us general has warned there's a chance of a broader civil war that's bringing our corresponding char stratford, who's in campbell for is our tony. i know you've been speaking to people in pantry, tell us about the latest jo, harry and also the significance of this balance. we have, i know. okay, we seem to have lost the connection to child stradford there, but we hopefully we'll get back. we'll get back to him in just a moment when reestablish that connection. meanwhile, aide is slowly starting to come into a gallery sun as the capital airport was made operational on yesterday.

so his charles report about that was on the tsar, had to travel 12 hours with his sick mother to this cobble hospital to get the light saving dialysis treatment she needs if she isn't treated every couple of days, dr. saying she could die within 2 weeks. among the facts and they give him several people 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. 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. but 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 afghan histone like other western institutions and governments, it said it wants proof the tale barney's keeping its promises to protect rights. before money is released among the doors 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 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 and 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 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 that any international donors as the budgets. so take a lot 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 funds to be released. these probably have gone standard, sick and vulnerable will suffer the most. and charlie joined us once again from cabal with an update on the situation on the fighting in pan share valley. charlie, what are you hearing? was interesting development. and the last couple of hours going to sources that we've spoken to. they are saying and they are close to the valley. they are saying that the n r f, the national resistance front, inside the valley are claiming that they have taken capture of up to 1500 taliban fighters. the details of which it seems apparently these taliban was surrounded,

they moved into an area layer around a district called apologies. we have lost our connection to chance, transferred in campbell there. we will hopefully reestablish later on this news hour and bring you the latest on the fighting in pan share. let's head to iraq now where there's been 2 separate attacks on security forces which have been blamed on iso. at least 12 police officers were killed when the checkpoint was attacked near the northern city of care. coke. 3 soldiers were killed in a separate incident near mosul. mahmoud ab did. we had his art correspondent in baghdad joined his live on the news. what more you hearing about the circumstances of these 2 attacks lunch willfully there is heavy military prisons in russia area and southern nuclear cook photo and the attack the twin attack by iceland. the idea that killed 12 for the police individuals injured

3 others and one for the police individual is still missing this according to security sources and a care cook. now the area in there are a shad is very difficult which help isolate launching multiple attack starting thing for the police. and also that follows the sweep operation by the federal police that led to the apprehension of military commanders isolate commanders in the area. and that's probably the reason why they came in under under attack by iso militants in the area. remember this area ice and i still militants, have been launching multiple attacks targeting security forces including federal police and also a popular mobilization forces in the area over the past. 2 years, one of the reasons why these areas are not cleaned yet is that it is distinguished

by valleys, marshlands. and also were, as you know, areas that has force forests and photos which is which is making it difficult for security forces to clean and sweep them room. but these areas were abandoned villages, whole villages, abandoned and deserted. following the fight against isolated in 2017, probably the government is looking into trying to bring people back to their area so that it can make it easy for them to can make it easy. in fact, for the security forces to get rid of ice militants in the area. now, on the other hand, in the most in more area, isis militants attack the checkpoint, that is controlled by the iraqi army and killed 3 iraqi army individuals. thank you, militants in my more are active,

especially in the areas that are not controlled neither by the iraqi army or the by the big mitigate. that's where they're getting reinforcement from other areas around much more. okay, thank you very much for update mahmoud. i've had correspondence i live in baghdad. in other world news, the non duration of an orthodox church feeder in montenegro has been held despite protests against the move. the ceremony anointing. bishop, you're near tia as, as a new head of the serbian orthodox church, took place in a c 10 you earlier demonstrators. broad roads and font with police before the observation opponent. see the church as a symbol of serbian influence over montenegro. 15 years after independence, i speak to, i'll just hear balkan reporter, yvonne pavlovitch who joins this lie from the capital article. read that. thank you for being with us. so the non duration of the bishop has gone ahead. how disruptive have the process

to jason? always come in to see feel the same thing about this integration take place. this morning we saw some pictures for classes between protest this and the police. the police protested with here against the respondents with throwing back rocks to the police. as we heard from the police there, there is a couple of people injured on both sides of the situation. so actually comb. protesters finished with their rally after they heard that the variation took place of the by the book at the the they blockaded the city. in in order to prevent the gratian but the head of the serbian orthodox church. and the bishop unique here came there with the helicopter. and now after the ceremony, and they went back to the 50 cup, adult of capital of, and that ego. so now,

hero of the 30 kilometers away from the same thing from the place where the integration took place. now they are holding award to the believers. they were not in a position to speak to the believers because they were no people there at the monastery setting. and now they're saying we can see actually some people here get there in front of the sample with serbian flags. people who protested in 15 were holding on to negro states flag. so, so a question of identity and about divisions in this country. i have to mention that the main population in this country when it comes to the religion are orthodox christians. there are, some of them are montenegrins, some of them numbers are serbs and the only official church curious serbian orthodox church after the church involve directly into the election

place. and they openly call their believers the vote for parties which are now on power in montenegro. once in egan's felt that there is a huge influence of belgrade in serbia through the church. and that's why they didn't want to allow the integration of the new bishop in the city or stephanie, which is considered as the main symbol of montenegro, state, and of montenegrins, the nation's montenegrin nation. so mentoring also feel that serbia not to the search are not willing to recognize them as an independent nation. he's not willing to recognize them of their own language. so they feel that there is a strong influence on both. right. and that is going to continue. okay, thank you very much in advance. thank you. even for that update from pods teresa while to find out more about the issues surrounding this controversy, let's speak to radical village of a choose professor of political science at the university of montenegro and is

joining via skype from port teresa. thank you very much for being with us. these protests certainly reflect the tensions in the country since it's independence from serbia. what is really at the heart of the issue? is it about identity or politics? to me, for example, this is a very large society that is related not only so religious but also from the cultural and political type. this is, for example, what was shipping in the 2nd year today. and yesterday, he's just new match in the city is between the pro rational, serbian forces, one side and problem invest. the forces are started regarding the future of the country because be an autism church. the strongest grossey or frustrating to the prostate frustrating to be in the original problem,

additional, the creasing detention in the country, the leader in me and also took the latest poem into election controlled right. i was going to have to do that because the president claims the orthodox church is trying to undermine montenegro independence and bring it back on the should be as control. is that the case? i mean, to what extent is this also about the president trying to get back at the church who supported the opposition in the parliamentary elections, which saul is 20 suffer big losses to, to go to the leader. one of the gender is not accepted by other horses, cb and, and actually the, the nurse on this and the current government. they actually said ultimately that the serbian or to the church was a part of the original can be. but also the most part of the confusion about the,

the government who is going to be the minister and actually the city, not the church control, the number of the ministers in the government. so actually the printer. right, and she says that actually the audio is controlling the government. but also i understand that she's also using the support to teach, to mobilize the support. this is christie calling regarding the performance of the government or she'd be to use that later for the next 2 actions. the, the majority of montenegrins are members of the serbian orthodox church. how deep though, are the divisions over over time with phobia within the society. lakers pools presented by that one of my colleagues from departed with compliance for whom are the out of total number of the people in denito. something more than

40 percent support. they find themselves in order church and something more than 20 percent of them. they then defy a bit more than even or 2. so the vision is great, big the other, they don't feel they are more for some kind of go the unified. so in the order of those, those who really like to see some good sporting people and not promote the national values or the other stage, but actually still be in the church more national that these, that these bridges. that's the problem. you know, the, this is again the orthodox religion. thank you so much for talking to us and giving us your insight onto this into this story is logical value of h from the university of montenegro joining us. thank you for your time or some
