1:06 pm
didn't want to know the cobble airport situation, people flooding via. but there's a lot of confusion about how that works. the tell about a free saying let people go if they have core travel documents. the problem is a lot of these interpreters, a lot of your life don't have travel document, they don't have passports, they don't have visas, they have certificates, and it's ivy case number some for the taliban that that is not enough. they want to see more and it's without having any us consulate stuff on the ground. it's very hard for us telephone and others who are trying to help this to, to cross that bridge and make sure that that people can leave with whatever documents or they have and shot at as far as the humanitarian situation. we've been hearing a lot of about some hospitals running short on supplies, funds being frozen, and so on. just give us a sense of how acute the situation is on that from there. the
1:07 pm
sirens sounding hey, i can tell you the world health organization, doctors without borders after i read chris and red cross everyone know putting out for it's relates to saying this is huge. we need help and be humana here. i mean, it's kind of someone already vulnerable and this country relied on international door news international a lot of the health system running on international life. the problem is that since the taliban took over the sanction of the un sanctions are getting the money to these organizations through health clinics is very difficult. now a lot of money has been frozen and now it's starting to play out on the ground with house clinic starting to close the borders saying that that thing clinics where people haven't been paid even in months and health work is working up the job. the world health organization saying of one program that they're associated with the $2300.00 health clinics, 90 percent of closing imminently. put that into context for you. those clinics.
1:08 pm
50000000 people last year and that is 3 quarters of the population. 90 percent, not at risk of them and the closure 3rd, it just shows years how the payment they are on this money. and at the moment it's not coming through and it's not clear how this funding is going to get through when sanctions on the tell about us still in place. all right, i'm michelle. about us life 1st there in cobble. thanks charlotte. richard brennan is the regional emergency director for the world health organizations office in the eastern mediterranean. he says, getting aid inside afghanistan has become complicated and it urgently needs to be simplified. well, i think we need several steps taken. we need to get the airport up and running in couple. so those commercial flights can come in. we need security on the ground. so then once those supplies do arrive, we can distribute them confidently to the clinics and hospitals that need them. we
1:09 pm
also need the boarders consistently open to humanitarian assistance. there are some restrictions from the neighboring countries right now we cannot launch across a large cross border 8 operation right now because of some of the limitations of the borders. the backbone of health care across afghanistan is what's called the the basic package of health services project. and this was funded by international donors through the ministry of health. and it supports essential health services in over 2300 clinics and hospitals across the country. because of their own laws and regulations, both donors and now no longer allowed to channel the funding through the ministry of health. and what we're looking at is a precipitous closure of up of those health facilities as of september the 5th because they are supported by non governmental organizations. and those
1:10 pm
n g ers that have a written to the government saying we can't sustain services beyond september. the 5th, this would be a precipitous and calamitous closure of health care at a time when needs are skyrocketing. but on the ground in afghanistan, the ton of bonds opened fire to disperse hundreds of protesters in the capital cobble. yeah, the protests mostly led by women have been held across the country since the group took over me and my shadow government has declared war. it's calling a people's defensive war against the military rulers receive power. in february, the national unity government is made up of politicians deposed in the coup it all annuity. as this is a public revolution, all the citizens with me and mar revolt against the rule of the military terrace in every corner of the country on me. and my shadow government was formed in response
1:11 pm
to the military coup on february 1st and the subsequent crackdown on protesters. the national unity government was set up in april and is led by a group of deposed civilian politicians, including jailed former leader on trying to cheat. in may, they announce the formation of an armed people's defense force. they said it would defend anti qu, protesters from the military, violence that's killed. hundreds group has carried out a tax on june to forces the shadow government has also allied with several of me and was armed ethnic groups which control some boarder regence of the country. many broke cease fires to join resistance to the crew of got hired la s life force from bangkok here in thailand. so scott, how of people inside me and my reacted to this declaration? what, what impact is it expected to have? well, the national unity government called this d day, this announcement of his call to arms if he will call the armed literally with the
1:12 pm
armed groups out there and the body, the army that they say they've been forming the national unity government. but it's also a political call to arms and that is there, encouraging those bureaucrats still working for the genta to not go go to work essentially and how they're reacting on the streets across me and my there are still some small protests and these have been going on, in these months since the co back in february. so we're seeing some smaller protests. there's one, at least that had a sign that, that directly reference the national unity government so that those are still going on. that's one way. they're reacting to this announcement on the streets of me and more. we know in young gone there was a little bit more of a security presence on the streets. nothing a very, very big but something more than what we have seen in the last several weeks. there are some reports of people going out to the supermarket and buying someone called a panic buying. we saw some put it's, it didn't really look like that, but at least more people are going out. i guess a bit concerned about this. one thing that needs to be said is it,
1:13 pm
it's not as though there are armed fighters streaming onto the streets across me. and this is something that we knew was going to be coming down the road when the national unity government said that they had an armed force that they wanted to use against the gentle forces. one thing that need to be said to the bulk of that will come from these at an armed ethnic groups along the borders in me and mar. they have been fighting the gentle forces over the last couple of months, but for, for decades before that as well. so they are going to be part of this and have been part of this movement against the junk military action against the junk. but it needs to be said that they are separate army. so for them coming together and to work in unison is going to be a very big feet indeed. but right now this is van and taking the national government, taking the step forward thing. this is now we're calling those armed groups to arms and they're even encouraging the, the soldiers who are part of the gender force to turn and come and join them as
1:14 pm
well as the border guards along those border areas that i was describing. the job itself did react to the, the day. it's been called the day by the national government saying this was a ploy by them just to gain a tension head of the un general assembly next week. scott, thanks for that, scott holler in bangkok. we got plenty more ahead. all news news out guineas new military. we was make signs of conciliation. they'll have to convince neighboring countries battling vote to apathy. the tough challenges facing politicians ahead of morocco's election and in sport, brazilian police open an investigation into the argent time football is accused of breaking quarantine all the details. later in the news, i
1:15 pm
saw that still ahead. the 1st amnesty international says dozens of syrian refugees have been detained, abused and tortured by security forces since returning home. a report describes violations against 66 people, including 13 children. it says 5 are still in custody, while the fate of more than a dozen is unknown. and as the also criticized several countries for pressuring refugees to return. well, joining us from paris is the author of that report to marie forest. the a. she is research on refugee and migrant rights and amnesty international. thank you for being with us. so let me ask you, 1st of all in putting together this report, what are some of the main aspects of it that are of concern to you? well, the main concern is that the keys have subjected syrian people returning to syria to horrific human rights abuses based on the fact that they were received based on
1:16 pm
the fact that they fled abroad that fled the conflicts they found rich, huge abroad. and because of this, so you know, you perceive refugees as opponents or as terrorists, which is the same for the warranties and the subject them to human rights validation because there are opponents according to them. so this is all concerned because this perception could affect potentially any refugees. and that's what leads us to conclude that refugees are at risk of being persecuted if they return to syria. and that's why it country hosting richard, you should maintain that protection to rickety. can i ask you for how, how this report came about? how did you arrive at this information? well because of some countries, especially in europe like the marcos, we didn't consider that part of julia now or save of this say we wanted to look at
1:17 pm
what is really happening with the big cities when they return and all they actually faced. and we concluded that they are not, and the colonies that these european countries consider that safety is mainly a question of if they're fighting is their military hostilities. and on this topic, this is true that military hospitals have reused even though they have not ended. but what we are calling for an international is to include in the safety assessment, the criteria of the respect of human rights and human rights are still not respected and enforced in syria at the moments. what other kind of specific action are you looking for from other nations to address this? i mean, we mentioned that at the top there, that in several countries pressuring refugees to return well on the one hand, we are calling europe the country. first of all, to grant richard is status and not that temporary protection to serial asylum
1:18 pm
seekers and to include these assessments of human rights in their safety assessments. and to stop pressuring refugees to return to their countries by growing their residency permit. and on the other hand, we are calling countries in the region of neighboring countries. turkey li, been on jordan, not to pressure syrian to return to syria, to keep their border open. because something richard is who have returned to syria and who are afraid of further human life violation. seek to return to the country where they were displaced, but because borders are closed, they cannot return legally, and they have to use memory which, which puts them further at risk. so we're calling neighboring countries to keep that open no pressure. so then richard used to return and not deport. simon richard is to syria because this is illegal coding with international law because that would be at risk of human rights violation when returning their good to talk. you
1:19 pm
marie, force the with amnesty international. thank you. how guineas qu leaders have pledged to release all political detainees in their words, just days after seizing power. on monday, the military bar government officials from leaving the country colonel mama, the doom bio summit, the cabinet ministers, and told them to hand over their passports and official vehicles. he led the crew that aston president of a con day on sunday. nicholas hark reports. and the people's palate is also known as the national assembly. members of president of alpha conveys out the government derive after being summoned by guineas, who leader lieutenant colonel mama, the doom brianna was behind closed doors. he demanded their passports and told them not to leave the country, but you also said there'd be no witch hunters he outlined a path forward. it was the fact that we will start consultations in order to put a framework in place for this peer to transition. and then the government of
1:20 pm
national unity will take you. i mean, last year on sunday, when president kennedy was driven away from the presidential palace in custody, crowd chanted freedom. it was on the streets that outcome. they had ordered security for. it's a fire for testers with live round scores were killed in almost 400 people were arrested when it did on monday it was, you have a blue the we were really in a savage state. there was no more security, no more just to confuse financial state. everyone was doing whatever they wanted. so i think we're, the rival is bethany because some of those were the streets like animals. children could. you have no idea. i am believed getting vast mineral wealth includes the world's largest reserve of bach site and or refined into aluminum. the takeover triggered world condemnation and sent global aluminum prices soaring half of china's imports of the element come from guinea. despite this mineral abundance,

the west african country remains one of the world's poorest states. do, says the corrupt economy must be overhauled on our part of the flat was, or we will not give you a history lesson today. but i just want to remind you that our country has suffered from the disreputable behavior of it. so could a lead pick one up. we found ourselves in a situation of injustice and corruption, nepotism, and the deprivation of freedoms commonplace. for in guinea, the pressure is on to explain how he will begin overturning a system. he says has stolen from the people for too long. nicholas hawk al jazeera, formerly as a consulting fellow at chatham house, he says, the crew leader has significant challenges ahead. well, he's clearly saying all right, things now about transition about inclusive political approach, reminding people of the need for the reforms, all the governance failures of the past,
1:22 pm
all of that. but the real test is going to lie really in the couple of phases of the next few weeks. first of all, in his internal discussions, he's got to secure the acquiescence, if you like, of a broad trash of the political class and civil society in this transition. and although a lot of people are expressing relief, that as the county has been turned out, that's not quite the same thing as signing up for and all the details of the new transition. and then next state be difficult negotiation with eco s, the west african block of which guinea as a member, and which really has a pretty firm constitutional rule that soldiers cannot take long term power by force. occasionally there's been a democracy cou, but immediately i was put very heavy pressure on the country concerned only
1:23 pm
soldiers who've taken over basically to say we need a clear roadmap for transition back to normal constitutional multi party elections . it's not a given that to the scenes of delight in the streets, people welcoming you and developer counties rule will automatically ensure real buying into the transition. and the transition has to look particularly credible in guinea. because past periods of military rule have been characterized by really awful brutality of the world, food program says it is delivered its last 8 shipment to ethiopia is war torn t gray region. ethiopia, government has denied allegations it's blocking aid, but no food or humanitarian assistance has entity gray. to more than 2 weeks, the u. s. has urged federal troops and those loyal to the rival, t gray people's liberation front to allow supplies in. it says more than 5000000 people who need urgent help. we don't have any food stocks at the moment to plan
1:24 pm

1:25 pm
a view. it seems shared by the people that trying to persuade to vote, they don't believe in the election. and all these are of the elections. they're like, tired of, with their own times, like see the same people, the same people get elected. old people corrupted like like simple like the corruption entirely more than half the people in morocco believe corruption has got worse in the last 12 months. according to transparency international, the critic say it's hard to tackle when there's no accountability at the top. new new of evil, but we continue to live in an exception of despotism. for example, we say that it is essential to discuss the budget of the royal palace calling lot against the budget we can talk about. we say that the king should not be at the center of political life because those that are should be accountable to the public . king mohammed, the 6 points, the government and those who don't tow the line. don't get very far. rashid, our eyes from morocco's institute policy analysis, believes many people in morocco,
1:26 pm
what's closely what top of the neighboring countries since the arab spring? yeah, most here is a majority of young voters who won't vote because they're not convinced by the way the game is played. now, but don't forget that if one day we do manage to most of the game, we managed to control the elites and the streets. perhaps they'll be convinced that we should go back to a much stronger talk with these young politicians. believe there is appetite change despite the risk is that we must have another referendum for a new constitution because in our code when there are many political unconstitutional imbalances. if we got my job in parliament would apply strong pressure for real constitutional forms. the system designed to stop any party getting a majority. such radical policies are unlikely to get very far, getting into government to morocco. it's all about building coalition and keeping the powers on on it, which is why sometimes it's difficult to find any major policy differences between
1:27 pm
