who language? i have read the names that i news conference in couple earlier. most familiar. coming from the grooves, old gods acting prime minister, mom it her son, according to is a taliban founding member. he served as foreign minister and deputy prime minister during the groups last in 10 power from 99062001. acting as defense minister is mohammed jacobi, the eldest son of tommy bon founder, milan omar. he's a military commander, but has rarely been seen in the public. hi. roger dean, connie will step in as interior minister his head of the county network, which has been blamed for some of afghan sounds most violent attacks in recent years. the role of foreign minister will be filled by a mere cotton will talkie, who took part in negotiations with the us and another participant in these negotiations. kerry didn't harm it. honey has been named as the economy minister.

charlotte bellis was at the announcement and tells us more about who's been named the taliban have announced in acting care take a government they have announced who will be in what position, starting with the amir or the supreme leader of afghanistan being keep told, the arkansas was the current leader of the telephone, they have named the people who will be in the acting defense and interior ministry positions. the acting defense minister will be molar mohammed who use a son of mine. he lives accountable military commission. more recently, also the acting minister of the interior search of dean connie leader of what was the had connie network and it's folded into the taliban in recent years. they have names, a prime minister as part of this year government they have named one of mohammad her son. he was actually the deputy prime minister during the last telephone government in the 1990 s. we know is the hotline from kandahar. and in recent years, he has left the leadership council. in fact, to the last 20 years,

his deputy will be gone. the paradise. he has been the political chief based out of dar. hi. you'd be leading the negotiation with the united states over the last 3 years. he was pulled out of pocket on the person to lead those negotiations for the telephone. so he will be the prime minister's deputy. they have named mean they have named people who were in the taliban government from the 1990 s. they promised an inclusive government. whether or not this is inclusive is not for much debate because it is the tele bomb members. there is no one from the form of government. there are very few minorities included in this if any. and there are also no women, they used to be in the previous government and ministry for women's affairs that has been abolished. it would seem over. they have said that there are a few ministry name. but in this press conference, the women and the women's ministry were nowhere to be fairly. i spoke to by doing

that by here who is a political analyst and a lecture at the american university of afghanistan. he says, a makeup of the can't take a government won't help taliban split shore. international recognition. i think on the pilot buns, bart, it is meant to appease the west. it's meant to show them not there yet hope for it . inclusive system and a system that can be accepted by the west. the taliban would use this as an excuse to saying that the current circumstances within the country and how rapidly a lot of fun sells to them meant that they didn't have time to negotiate with different entities as to forming a more inclusive and a moral internationally acceptable system and that they have to go to however, if you look at the history of the continent and countries within 3rd world, often time caretaker government stay for years if not for decades. so they're at that apprehension as well, even for the politically apathetic enough. lot of fun,

they couldn't help, but notice that when you were a movie movie or a lot in the list of the cabinet that was announced, that meant that everyone who has been appointed is a member also found the body. that doesn't mean that they have the merit that thought to by the office that they've been given. but i guess the term protection is that not announcing any government. so as long as their administrative offices that they're filled, that that's on the bottom start taking government seriously. it's really important because as you saw in the demonstration that people are anxious and the sooner we thought about start getting used to their government rules, the better for fun stuff. so this is better than not having a government altogether. all things sudden and while un monetary in chief has delivered a bleak assessment of the situation in afghanistan, he says, the country is running out of money to fund basic services, while food supplies,

and other life saving age down to dangerous levels. nearly all of the population are in need of assistance. the 18000000 people generally speaking, some mantra, protections, 14000000 need food, 9000000 need access to water. 600000 of been entirely just alone. and $5000000.00 people remain just based on the secretary general will launch and appeal on monday, the 13th september and geneva flash appeal which has been cut together by the agencies about $606000000.00 for a full month period that covers the existing your manager needs an updated assessment live to christine salumi, the united nation for as christina, very bleak picture, painted there by martin griffin. what is assessment of the needs in afghan?

well, martin griffin met with the deputy leader, the new deputy leader of the taliban government. over the weekend, muller bar adar and laid out exactly what the united nations in international community would expect from the taliban in order to deliver the aid that the un is planning to request. the appeal is going to be launched on monday in geneva, by the secretary general for 606000000 dollars to help fund some of the most pressing needs for the people of afghanistan. that includes getting food and other forms of aid to nearly 11000000 people with that include some 1000000 children and women who are facing acute malnutrition as well as help restoring services like water or sanitation. and also to help replace income for people who are suddenly

not able to go to work or finding liquidity issues and work, cut off for them. and griffith said he laid out specifics as he would in any country where the united nations is working in terms of what assurances are needed in terms of freedom of movement. freedom of access, he said, aid workers have to be free to come in and out of the country and travel the country safely and securely in that clouds. women aid workers as well as male aid workers and 8 organizations need to be able to hire women as well as men. 156 different agencies. he said would be responsible for distributing this aid once the funding is achieved. independent of the taliban government. so this was the scenario that he laid out for at taliban leaders. thank you, christine, for that. christine salumi, 9 for the united nations fennimore head on the news hour, including guineas who leaders, ty, to the control of the country. by naming military governors. i call to arms mas

shadow government declares of people defensive war against the military, june. and in fort brazilian police open an investigation into the argentine in football is accused of breaking, pointing. ah, in other world news, frances top court of appeal has rolled against one of the country's largest companies, over allegations that it funded i saw in syria. the court overturned a ruling not to formerly investigate cement, make a la phosphor complicity in crimes against humanity. the company continue to operate in northern syria between 20122014. despite the threat of on who including i saw in the region patasha butler has more from paris. when ferny a big blow to the far is reputation,

a judges from says highest court effectively overturning this 2019 ruling. and what that means is that it pays the way in the future for the french cement, make a to possibly be investigated for complicity in crimes. against humanity over its actions in northern syria, at the height of the civil war. now to be clear, that doesn't mean that force is under investigation right now, but we'll just say it is in the future. another court will concede and decide whether or not such an investigation can go ahead, but as i said, a huge blow to lithography is reputation. really this case centers on the fact that between 20122014, the father kept the cement plant running in the north of syria in a region that came under the control of eiffel. now the father, she's accused of paying armed groups, including eyes will some $50000000.00 in protection money to keep the prod,

running. now, activists and g o fed and former employees as well have said that the force knew that the risks were high of keeping the fact you running in that region because they were actuator there for installs. but there sir, install were left there to keep working, some were kidnapped, others were killed by our groups again, including iso. now the force is always denied the accusations it has admitted in the pass. executives and frauds have admitted that some mistakes were made, but they say that it was mainly the syrian managers on the ground who were making decisions. at the time. earlier i spoke to canal la vega, who's a legal advisor at the european center for constitutional and human weiss, she says, lafarge prioritize profits over human lice. when the court, the supreme court said today is that's not my prison to be transferring for 1000000 euros to other rooms. why knowing the price to mention may have been committed in

the north region including nearby factory necessary. and these amounts made the permission of crimes and that therefore it could be completed and should not be exaggerated from this investigation on the charge. just because, as you mentioned, you know, it pretends it is pushing original objective or the trying to ensure safe for us appeals not cancel, discharge in order to be completed when she shared the perpetrator. well, that's not, should have had the policy cracked, she gets medicaid. and today the code to get the job. she prim court is saying this will need to be judged. so another court will have to judge whether or not the

charges against mentally should be maintained or not on the basis of a new interpretation. which is an interpretation that our organization ross, that is in line criminal law in which means that in order to be completed, one needs to have the knowledge that crimes are being committed and be aware that by faction it may contribute to the mission of this friends covered 19 cases in the united states are at the highest since last winter, so to hospitalisation, then death driven by cases among the unvaccinated. and after more than a year and a half. the pandemic is taking a toll on some health care workers who say enough is enough out there. it's hydro. castro has a story. a 70 year old woman has just died inside the shreveport. louisiana

hospital. she'd been here 4 days. battling coven 19. now nurses prepare her for the funeral home. i don't think anybody ever had to take the body loading docks. are you seeing a lot of doctors and nurses across the united states are struggling under the burden of a 4th wave of hospitalizations and deaths driven by the delta variant and the close to 40 percent of americans who remain unvaccinated. most of the feeling is your anxiety exhaustion, and just not knowing when this is going to end, a couple of hours taker in the state of mississippi. some 2000 nurses have quit since the pandemic every day. and just people can't take it, not because they don't want to do a good job. we've made it really hard for them with this influx, our health care system. the doctors and nurses in this emergency room are trying to manage 3 times the amount of patients that they saw prior to this family receiving

care in the waiting rooms, any where they can be the staff, your health is a constant. marathon disheartened andy, more allies, many are resigning, retiring, or taking lower, paying jobs to distance themselves and the memories of fighting the virus. i see these people over and over again. when i try and sleep. this mississippi nurse has turned in her resignation to watch this person deteriorate and ultimately die alone and in a hospital bed. to watch the combination of someone's life. i just, i can't take it anymore. staff shortages and louisiana hospitals have required some doctors to double up as nurses aides. right now the state has 6000 vacant nursing job openings. yes, there is no doubt that being overwhelmed over 17 straight months and not being able

to spend time with your family. the only natural reaction for our teams is the struggle. many have begged in vain for more people to get vaccinated or blamed themselves for not being convincing. now some are just set up and done while still more though exhausted and overwhelmed, press on hydro, castro al jazeera for spring in our white house. correspondent, kimberly, how can i live in washington? kimberly way where do things stand right now in terms of numbers? yeah, number is not looking good for the by the ministration that is still trying to turn the corner on this and thought that they had with respect to the infections in the united states. they're now 40000000 confirm cases in the united states is the start of the pandemic in about 18 months ago. and that more than 650000 people have died now in terms of the vaccination numbers, more than half the population,

roughly 53 percent has been vaccinated, but that really only amounts to 176000000 people. in other words, there are millions that are still not back made in the united states, and that is what is causing a problem because this is a pandemic of the and backs and it is now according to by the ministration officials. so they're very concerned is the delta via are very and continues to spread through the united states. what's happening is they're seeing the number of deaths rising as well, because back in june, it was less than 300 a day. now it's more than 1900100. and so what's the biden administration doing to address this? kimberly well, we'll be addressing it specifically the president will on thursday, he is going to be addressing the nation announcing a 66 pronged approach to dealing with. this is apparently going to have a range of initiatives across the public as well as private sector. the concern is, and all of this is that many of the vaccines that this administration is pushing

are that affective, for example, the pfizer vaccine, the, during the vaccine. and so we expect that there will be an announcement to about boosters and what that will look like, who needs to get it and so on. but in all of this, there is another problem for the biden administration, and that is there is weight and competence the president has this under control. in fact, 2 different polls seem to suggest that americans have lost faith in the precipice. ability to handle this pandemic, his approval rating on that is down 10 per 10 points. and also we should point out that when it comes to the feeling he has a strong message on this that 42 percent of americans believe he lacks clarity. so he's going to need that clarity, come thursday to really get that confidence back and have american feel that this is really turning around the way he promised many months ago. kimberly thank you very much. kimberly how could lie for us there in washington. now their protest in el salvador is capital against the government's decision to adopt bitcoin as legal,

tender. the crypto guarantee will be used along with the us dollar as a form of payment, but economy sworn is a volatile and unregulated risk. let's go live to john home and who joins us from san salvador. john, i understand a rocky start to a launch of bitcoin. tell us about what's happening. the yeah, you got to the group. that's really a bit of a protest that's just behind the moment. a lot of people, i think i'm happy that obviously with the protocol which is a huge medium size, but also keeping them salvador. we've been here for a couple of days report you slightly worried about, especially the volatility and bitcoin. if this is going to be part of the legal currency of the country, they're worried about the fact that it's going to go up. it's going to go down transactions that they make one day might be worth less. and next we've talked to a surf instruct for the pilot program in the country,

one village where bit coins already been to pre if you said exactly that just happened to him. so it wasn't going to use it anymore. now i should point out as well, that it's not the big point is going to be the only currency that you can use in el salvador. they're going to keep the one they already have, which is the us dollar. i'm businesses, an individual. people can choose whether to opt in or opt out at the moment. so this is an, an all or nothing play. but for the president of the country i. e. kelly, he's put a lot of his personal reputation on this. the chiva wallet cheaper means cool, and he's wanting this to be something cool. a news of the country actually went down this morning on the 1st say the big coin was accepted as legal tend to where he's personally been managing that on twitter, trying to work it out. right. so tell us what drove him to this decision to use bitcoin as legal, kenda, and what different to be hoping it's going to make well, what driven to it? if he says that new idea is a beautiful, we can't be scared if i think he has the impression that the world is going more

and more towards digital currency. and this is a way from salvador to get ahead of the game. they're going to be the 1st country in the world to start using bitcoin. he hands but side of him, which is very social media culture. it's very interested in new and at the moment, quite fashionable, i did, i should say as well that there are other things going on in the country right now . we just come from a march, which is intermingled with the big point one, which is about a 3rd of the judges in the country being forcibly retired at the moment. he's also changed the entire supreme court. so this is a president that has one side of him, but the logical sort of dream aside has the other side of him which people worries quite authoritarian. he's trying to grab more, more power to himself. and so the protests of know if it's a bit into the distance a both about those 2 different sides of the president, naive kelley, who still, i should mention, enjoys and overwhelming approval rating in this country. it's

a very interesting situation right now. thank you, john for telling us virus john, home and by for us in the capitol of el salvador, san salvador, john holeman. early i spoke to aaron yvonne vigil who's technical director of bitcoin magazine and he explained why there is widespread skepticism of bitcoin in now, salvador, it's a device, it's topic in the country. of course the item just makes it tells all the time. there's a lot of after just there and you'll find just in other parts of the country. there's also critique. it is a device that topic. some people aren't happy with the mandated part of the law. so by law, merchants are actually obligated to accept before that has been threat. track some critique, the government is investing some money and making it all happen. so the taxpayer money that's attract some critique, but some of the critique. it's also. ready i would say uninformed, you know, people. ringback are complaining that they can't buy

a whole bitcoin while that's of course not necessary. you can buy a fraction of a bit going. and so, and also the opposition, the opposition parties. they are taking sort of the controversial nature of this specific law as a focal point of criticism on the pure kelly government itself and other policies in implementing. so in that sense, it's not really about bitcoin. venezuela's government has been holding tanks with the opposition to end a long standing political crisis. prison nicholas madura holds that can ease international functions on nation. the opposition says it wants guarantees. upcoming elections will be fair. my new rapid reports. monday was a 4th and final day of negotiations between delegates of it as well as government and the countries political opposition. now these talks held here in mexico city. the 2nd round of negotiations took place behind closed doors without media access. and after more than 9 hours of talk, there was

a lot of anticipation over exactly what level of agreement had been reached. now in the most general of terms, what has been achieved is a groundwork, a framework for a larger, more meaningful agreement to be signed at a later date. now the delegation representing the venezuelan government, so the quote nothing is agreed upon until everything is agreed upon having that said, both delegations expressed. a lot of optimism related to these talks will also admitting that there's still a long way to go. many obstacles to overcome for both delegation is to find a meaningful solution to the countries persistent humanitarian crisis. now the opposition did agree to elections that take place later in november. that is arguably, one of the biggest achievements actually took place even before the start of the 2nd round of the go. jason's. the big question right now is over what this all means. 4 regarding international sanctions spearheaded by the united states, the binder administration has hinted that the u. s. would be,

would consider the lifting of sanctions if meaningful progress was made during this talk very, the thought, what all of that remains to be seen in the end of this could be seen the last 4 days of negotiations could be seen as a positive step toward mending that political divide in venezuela, but the door is now open for a 3rd round of negotiations to take place later this month. still ahead on this al jazeera and use our 90 percent of the population need. urgent health in ethiopia agree region, but the well food program says it has no more supplies. that's where germany's 1st motor show to open a door to the public fence. the song of the panoramic in europe goldfish hold enough to pull off a big tree in the united ah
