10:11 pm
there had been concerning reports from the country going about the situation for women. so to sum up, he went to the taliban, seeking to not only assess what they need for aid, but to make sure that the conditions on the ground are going to be good enough for them to receive that aid. and he said he seemed cautiously optimistic and the briefing that he gave you also was optimistic that the united states was going to route to provide a lot of that funding or substantial amount of funding for that appeal going forward with those assurances, kristen salumi with the latest from the united nations christmas. thank you. will the your secretary of said says the taliban has reiterated a pledge to allow people with travel documents to freely depart afghan, his son anthony blinking made the comments during a visit to catherine capital though. ha, where he and defense secretary lloyd austin, held talks with their catherine counterparts. they said evacuations of that risk.
10:12 pm
afghans and americans from cobble will continue. we're going to continue to engage for gauging as we speak to resolve these issues and need to hold the taliban to it's pledge to what people with travel documents, including american citizens, are freely depart. afghanistan, and we've reiterated this point directly to the taliban in recent hours. as with any commitment itala makes, we're focused on what they do, not just on what they say. we have fixed a lot of that and then switch off over there and we are about to get everything operation and very soon life. now, we didn't teach yet an agreement on the way how to manage or to run the airport, but yet we are continuing the humanitarian support. and we are chartering almost on a daily basis. flights with, with

10:14 pm
northern syria between 20122014. despite the threat of armed groups including iso in the region, it's ayesha butler has more from paris. when a 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 cement prod, running in the law to syria, in
10:15 pm
a region that came under the control of isis. now, la force is accused of paying armed groups, including eyes will some $50000000.00 in protection money to keep the crowd running . now, activists and you said, and former employees as well, have fed the fortune you that the risks were high of keeping the fact you running in that region because a black way to their foreign 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 are making decisions at the time. the right group, amnesty international says dozens of syrian refugees have been detained,
10:16 pm
abused and tortured by security forces since returning home. their report describes violations against 66 people, including 13 children. it says 5 are still in custody while the phase of more than a dozen is unknown. murray for fear is the author of the report. she's a researcher on refugee and migrant rights. that amnesty international. she's. she says the syrian refugees are real risk of suffering persecution when going back home. the main concern is that the keys have subjected and people returning to syria to horrific human rights abuses based on the fact that they will receive based on the fact that they fled abroad. this led to conflict, they found with huge abroad and because of this, so you know, for kids perceive refugees as opponents or as terrorists, which is the same for the, for it,
10:17 pm
he's the subject them to human rights validation because there are opponents according to them. so this is all concerned because these perception could effect potentially any refugees. and that's what leads us to conclude that refugees are at risk of being persecuted if they returned to julia. and that's why it country hosting richard should maintain their protection to riches. some countries, especially in europe like marco, sweden, computer that's part of syria, now are safe as they say, we wanted to look at what is really happening with refugees when they return. and all they actually faced, and we concluded that they are not. and the problem is that these european countries consider that safety is mainly a question of if they're fighting in the military hostility and on this topic, that is true that need to be hosted to have reuse even though they have not ended.
10:18 pm
but what we are calling for an international is to include in the safety assessment, the criteria of the respect of human life and human rights are still not respected and enforced to ensure you're at the moment. still to come in this half hour, dozens of people reportedly starved to death and the few p, p. gro region where food supplies are running out and humanitarian supplies are blocked. ah hello, we got lots of late summer sunshine across so much of your pat. the moment the last, the clear skies, last of warmth around too high pressure, dominating the weather here. so that's keeping it settled and sunday one to focus afraid into scandinavia, some showers to some shop showers about it. the central parts of the mediterranean, still one or 2 showers. they're still around spain and portugal pick change comes

10:22 pm
in dire need of food assistance in the northern province where a conflict is spilling over into neighboring regions. mohammed, the reports in if you appears north antigen region 9 months of war between the if europe in federal government and lead us into great how spread into the neighboring regions of our firm. and i'm hotter creating us vh military and crisis. so united nations warms that's what's effectively a blockade on a convoy unable for pushing millions of people to the brink of family. people like sadie ali and 5 children, they fled there from 2 months ago following a talked by to great fighters. this makes sense in the upper region has now become then you home. she said it took 2 weeks to get here by foot, who in the whole journey was through the scorching sun and the thirst for drinking water was agonizing. we were forced to drink rain water from the ground,
10:23 pm
but that made us sick. last week, the w. p called on purpose to allow the movement of aid into the region where 90 percent of the population didn't need of help. it estimates $100.00 trucks of 8 need to integrate each day to fit them. that warning came a little force, reportedly looted, warehouses, destroying, crucial food supplies. we don't have any food stocks at the moment to, to plan with or to distribute whatever we have is currently being distributed or has already been distributed. so what we're looking at going forward is a difficult situation for us to keep providing services for our community. in our forum, hot or the number of this place people facing farming is expected to rise. situation improves unless the fighting dies down. we can only see the situation deteriorating expensively in the next weeks and months as part warning in
10:24 pm
a country that's already suffered so much. but how many dollars either? i will be kenya. police in brazil, her fire tear gas at supporters of embattled president. jane will sonata as they attempt at the storm, the supreme court. they're unhappy that judges of back that investigation into the both matter administrations. handling of the pandemic and possible corruption. earlier the president attended a military rally to mark independence day and lashed out at the supreme court. critics fear he's encouraging supporters to the point that they will invade the judiciary and the cause a riot, like donald trump support his date of the us capitol. back in january now, el salvador has become the 1st country in the world to adopt bitcoin as legal, tender. the president has declared the future of for the country. but economists warned that using the viola tile and unregulated crypto currency is
10:25 pm
a risk. john holeman joins us live now from, from san salvador is so, i mean, obviously it is something, it's the 1st country in the world to adopt that is legal, tender. so i guess it's on charter territory. how was the role of going well, this morning. there's actually a digital wallet called chiva, which means cool here. it's sort of slang, which was what the, you were going to put your big coins. every citizen of the country is going to receive $30.00, a big coin. that's what the president said to sort of get this rolling and start is often so they, they can see what they can spend on. well, but did it work? the president himself got on twitter and started personally trying to manage the situation and trying to make sure that the app, the special cash points would change big coin to dollars thought it working. so that this great, great experiment of phase will actually be able to start off, i think shows you how much he has personally invested in this. it is
10:26 pm
a big risk and away because it's the 1st country in the world to do it because of the volatility. and obviously it's important that it starts well. what we're hearing now is that the app cheapo is now going on. the president's now tweeting about where you can use this pizza hut, pull your competitor, which is very popular chicken shop here, and other places you say you can go out and buy stuff. so he really pushing this, even though a lot of the population is showing slight reluctance with it. okay, so the president is obviously someone who enjoys the social media and technology in general. but as you mentioned, there are risks to all of these. so what are also the potential rewards for salvador? so basically why is going ahead with it? definitely as by re some rewards, i think the president's thinking is, well, we're going to be the 1st in the, well, we have to embrace new ideas. that's what he said. and so we have to just go for that and it's going to bring investment to the country. he says also that it's
10:27 pm
going to help with remittances that some money that people get from their relatives in the united states that sent back to salvador at the moment why transfers. we've actually been reporting this for a couple of days. and that's not actually true. the mon, the president says that it's going to make that free because you can just do it straight from big point to bitcoin. but to change the money from bit clues to dollars back here in el salvador, there's a 5 percent free. so at the moment pops the traditional why transfers in straight into dollars a more convenient for people. the other risk is about obviously the volatility. we've spoken to people. we are speaking in the surf instructor who was part of the pilot program. who said that he accepted bitcoin next they looked and they'd lost so much value that it lost value on the costs that you gave just the day before. so imagine that in one of the poorest countries in the americas, the effect on people savings and that daily transactions might not be ideal. and this is a currency big quinn that really has been moved from investments relevant daily transactions in the past. so it's going to have to adjust actually,
10:28 pm
we're right here, we're outside of the, the congress of the country. whether it's been, i'd say, mid sized protests that we were in with people worried about the effects of this currency. so the president got some convincing to do here. i bet i'm sure he's on twitter, trying to do his best john home and from san salvador. thank you. now me and mars shadow civilian government has declared what it's calling people's defensive war against the military rulers who seized the power in february. the national unity government is made up of politicians. the posed in the qu, scott hiler is following events from bangkok in neighbouring thailand. while the national unity government called this de day, this announcement of his call to arms, if you will call the armed literally, with the armed groups out there and the body of 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 did not go go to work
10:29 pm
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 assigned 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. one thing that needs to be said is that it's not as though there are armed fighters streaming onto the streets across me. and me, or 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 ethan armed ethnic groups along the borders and 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
10:30 pm
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. guineas cru, leaders have replaced the heads of administrative regions with military officers, furthering further tightening their control of the country. west african nations have threatened sanctions after colonel murmur, the don't. boyer lead a cood, the posing president house on sunday, they'll hold a virtual summit on wednesday to discuss the military takeover. ok, and now the top stories on al jazeera, the taliban has unveiled a new interim government declaring if can astonish his slamming m. read. 3 weeks after seizing control of cobbled, the most powerful positions have been given to men who dominated the 20 year war against the us led coalition. and the.
