the force of a 5 part series alley re addresses the appropriation of our most personal characteristics. all hail the algorithm on jazz. ah, this is al jazeera, ah. hello barbara sarah. this is the 0 news our life from london. thank you for joining us. coming up in the next 60 minutes, the taliban announces the 1st members of it's acting afghan government naming established leaders, but no women. a funding crisis for afghan is fans health care sector? thousands of facilities could soon close down. the court ruling against french cement giant,

lethargic will now face further scrutiny over claims that was complicit in crimes against humanity during syria's civil war. and independence today hold to action by brazil, president thousands of his supporters facing the street is treatable, sonata targets the country. the supreme court found a homeless and not have all the sport for to go maintain their own beach and run and walk up, call fine with victory over as a big done. oh, the taliban has unveiled an interim government giving the most powerful positions to men who dominated the 20 year war against the us. led coalition and this african allies, the groups supreme leader. hi, but to law inside the says they are committed to international law as long as it

doesn't conflict with a slimy rules. there are no women in afghanistan, new cabinet, and the taliban hasn't said if it will eventually hold elections. mohammed has santa coon has been appointed acting prime minister. he's from kandahar, which is the taliban birthplace, and is seen as more of a political rather than religious leader. dean, how can he will handle secures? he is acting interior minister. he leads the hack county network, which has been blamed for some of a scanner stands most violent attacks and has a 5000000 dollar balance on his head said by the f. b, i acting as defense minister is mohammed the a cool the of the son of taliban founder, omar. he's a military commander, but his rarely being seen in public. and the mere con, packee will be acting foreign minister. he took part in negotiations with the us and called on rival african forces to hold talks rather than fight on the battlefield. well, the interim government will have to rebuild the country,

devastated by decades of war, food is running out and more than 2000 medical facilities face imminent closure. because international funds have been blocked since the taliban took over. charles stratford reports for his honor is in pain. she's come to this room clinic, north of cobbles, the treatment for the doctors can't help her on the done another some budget, but i hope to come here when we get treated and go home. but there is no medicine available and i can't afford to go to a private hospital. this hospital is struggling to keep going because there are constant power outages, not enough petrol to keep generators going, and no money to buy any more. these empty wards are typical of rural clinics across i've gone is done because there's no more medicine available to treat the sick or treat even the most basic medical complaints. madam, how much and they call it,

cut out that a good only patients come and they get angry and fight with us because we have no medicine. this is the only hospital in 7 district still open. last night we had to help women give birth using l. mobile phone lives, some of the world health organization says 90 percent of more than 2300 health facilities. face eminence closure because world bank money issued under the previous government has run out. and it froze funding when the taliban retook power . so this is the clinics medicine store, just look at these empty shelves. there aren't even basic medicines here. bear in mind, they started out as a maternity clinic and we have pregnant women in the wards. there are no rubber gloves. there are no anesthetics, there are no antibiotics, there aren't even paracetamol tablets available here. and it's been like this now for 3 months for the past off saying they are struggling to support their families . i think maria comes with much of that. we don't have enough money to pay for

taxes to come to work. this is no, we haven't been paid in 5 months. there's another. the u. n says that more than 30000000 people benefited from the world bank funding clinics in afghanistan like this one last year. so if a 100 that remind kurdish about who could mosher? unfortunately, the hospitals work is coming to a standstill. we have no free drugs for patients on the people can't afford to buy their own from other places. so the bank says it's frozen afghanistan's project funding because it wants the tale bound to prove itself on human rights before it releases any cash flows on. and a husband hit home with a young son. they and millions of guns liked him suffering as a consequence of events and actions far beyond their control. cha, strap it al jazeera mirror, but you could go next on while the taliban had said it would create an inclusive

government. and while the group supreme leader has pledged to support people from all walks of life, there were no specific promises on the rights of women. more worried z i. e, a senior director of the canadian women for women in afghanistan and his previously worked with the african ministry of women's affairs. she joins us live now from calgary in canada. madam, thank you so much for joining us here on out 0. so after days of waiting weeks, really we have seen the interim government. there are no women in that government and no talker of any possible future ministry for women. surprised. thank you, barbara for having me in your show i and how to say i'm not surprised because i know holland and i know the promises of peak. they were just for meeting, making those promises to please the community and to convince the united states to

come to this peace need and redraw from us on and on. so do those who are just fake and pulse promises. and i am not surprised at all by their act, but i'm afraid and i'm afraid of the future of women in the hands of a cabinet for no terrorist. this is to include the cabinets, a ton of on how funny group, and perhaps some of them either. it is a lot and pick here. but what do you think that the international community should do at this point? because as we're seeing the caloric situation. galveston is terrible as a to could, could help. of course, a lot of that was terminated when the taliban took control. but at this point, what do you think or how do you think the international community could put pressure on the taliban? better national community had leverage but

a lot of those opportunities in the past, but there is a still much to be done. bowie directions on 8th, 2 civilians. national community is making another mistake. people are really suffering. and i just saw on your show on your report now to the again and terms of health access and and on other facilities including food and shoulder but like directions or sanctions on aids distribution to civilians is not the proper way off for sure. i've been taught about one don't can about when you give to up on people or you not. 21 cares about them. those sanctions should be taught. one of the national communities still have been leverage to not of them. i've told one of the government, there are terrorist groups from atlanta on one people's eyes. they should be

treated that way. they shouldn't be any good mission to this cabinet. there should be a strong statement by western countries. far in reaction to this cabinet. this is a terrific clue, this cabinet and i said that before to add sanctions against paul about themselves . sanction on movement, i'm sure is on the recognition political sanctions and also they want the leaders to be out of the blacklist of the united states and the united nation. that those are the type of sanctions that it was that countries and the nation community should enforce on top of, on not sanctions on a distribution to civilian civilians was tougher. and that, that will be, that will leave the country in human rights. humanitarian crisis, which already exist. yes, and of course in most western capital they will now be cussing what reaction they should have to this new taliban government. i mean, we have seen so far,

no representation of women. i mean the taliban still talks about education. when all of that is to be seen, do you think that there are some red lines though? where for example, women are not allowed to be educated or not allowed to work. whereby the international community should been reacting and even more stringent way. and another community has a more responsibility because they promised to up on women for the past 2 years that you would protect your rights and the we see 2 promises as, as really again, whole promises that promises are broken and women are left alone in the country. you are seeing that they are coming on the streets, protesting for the rights without any support to them and time national community for the past 20 years with that community claim that they have been supporting or protecting women's rights. and i want to know this is the time,

this is the time that they should protect that, but they are not doing it. everyone can do something when they're to the stability and some kind of ability and peace. and the international community did that. and the password to teach in 20 years. but now just right now that women are alone, the boys themselves are left alone in colon and other provinces. they are demonstrating for their rights. no one is there to protect them, but they are taking the risk because they are afraid of the future. and the national community i'm calling on you. this is you are more responsibility. you promise to add on people, add one women that you would protect their rights and that you've missed the again, for in, for the past 20 years. this is the time and you should the soon without, with think anymore, we've just been watching some of those images of women protesting on the streets of cobble. and i guess over the 20 years, a whole generation of women has grown up with those rights that as you say,

were promised to them by the international community. how does that change the balance? do you think that now you do have generations of women that at least have been used to having a more free life and more opportunities? whether you have seen the generation how they changed significantly from 996 when one 1st came to power. and now they are facing a new generation. they are not quiet, they have been pushed back the, they've told one used violence against women on the street, the, and the attacked women for processors. and they pushed him back. but i'm like the 1st day there were few women on the scene that can be the number grew that and in the week then there are no hundreds of women on the street. the or the educated women who have, who thought hard they had right for the past 20 years. it wasn't easy for all these

20 years. it wasn't, peace is the one where a tapping at packing them from going to school and university and work, but they risk their life to reach where they are now. and this is a new generation, your challenge and tolerable on asking for the right the right that is long have promised them i'm giving them who are the polar 12. and then 9 goes for dual rides . and for these women. so these, i want people to this duration is not that from the years back and told me to have the choice of killing every single one coming on the street or they give they have to, they must admit, this is a new generation and they are, they shouldn't be given the full protection of the rights and the new government was a senior director at canadian women for women in afghanistan, who also worked previously with the african ministry of women's affairs. that madam,

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 a humanitarian is lincoln and austin are the most senior us officials to visit the goal since the taliban retook power. enough kenneth stand in august. both men also went to elo date, airbase in doha, where they paid tribute to both american troops and afghan. but this visit was about more than just appreciation. it was also away for the united states to signal it will continue to stand by its allies when it comes to afghanistan. president bind's administration as grappling with the fallout from which widely been seen as a messy and chaotic withdrawal. that means the timing of this visit a week after washington announced the beginning of a new chapter of engagement with afghan. stan. it's critical while stopping by a compound how's the afghan refugees? lincoln met members of the afghan girls robotic team. another attempt at

future for the french cement, make a to possibly be investigated for complicity and crimes against humanity over its actions in northern syria, at the height of the civil war. now to be clear, it doesn't mean that force is under investigation right now, but what judge is said 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 foreign kept cement plug running in the law to syria in a region that came under the control of eiffel. now the force is accused of paying armed groups including eiffel, some $50000000.00 in protection money to keep the crowd running. now, activists and you said and former employees as well. have said that the far she knew that the risks were high of keeping the fact you running in that region

because a graduate before installs, but their theory and stuff were left there to keep working, some kidnapped, others were killed by on groups. again, including i saw now the force is always denied the accusations it has admitted in the pos executives and frauds have admitted there's some mistakes were made, but they say that it was mainly the syrian managers on the ground who are making decisions at the time. rebel fighter is say that at least a 150 people start to death starved to bethany c o p s t gray region last month. and that half a 1000000 people face famine conditions the you and says as many as 7000000 people are in dire need of food assistance in the northern province where a conflict is spilling over into neighboring regions. mohammed adult reports in if you appears no fun to guy region, 9 months of war between the if you appeal federal government and lead us into gray

house spread into the neighboring regions of upper and i'm hotter, could be eating us vh military and crisis. so united initials warns that's what's effectively a blockade on a convoy by forces pushing millions of people to the brink of farming. people like sadie ali and her 5 children, they fled their farm 2 months ago, falling out of talked by 2 grey fighters. this midship spent in the upper region has now become then the home. she stays, it took 2 weeks to get here by foot. the whole journey was through the scorching sun and the thirst for drinking water was agonizing. we were forced to drink rainwater from the ground, but that made us sick. last week the w. p called on purpose to allow the movement of 8 into the region where 90 percent of the profession. and i just need of help. it estimates $100.00 trucks of 8 need to enter to grade each day to fit them a lot. that warning came, rebel forces reportedly looted, warehouses,

destroying crucial food supplies. we don't have any food stocks at the moment says 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 alpha. and i'm hot or the number of this place people facing from it is a corrected to rise. situation improves unless the fighting dies down. we can only see the situation deteriorating extensively in the next weeks and months. us warning in a country that's already suffered. so much. mohammed our dog is eda. i will be kenya. dateable sonata has the pack, the brazil voting system and the supreme court. while critics accuse him of trying to undermine democracy in latin, america's largest country, police of fire,

tear gas, the brazilian president supporters as they attempted to storm the supreme court. they're unhappy that judges of back that investigation into the both scenario administrations handling of the pandemic as well as possible corruption. earlier the president lashed out of the court while addressing supporter as an independence, they rally know, we don't want disruption. we don't want to fight with anybody what we call it, except as it's to distort our democracy, we call it success. anybody who puts our freedom at risk or critic fear both scenarios support his will eventually be encouraged to invade the judiciary and cause a riot. a bit like donald trump supporter is did in the u. s. at the u. s. capital back in january. that's cost daniel shrine. lo, who is in windows i it is a pretty strong if not in century words from the president. daniel, what do you think he's hoping to achieve?

well, that's right, barbara. i mean is often said in brazil, certainly among java scenarios, opponents, that if donald trump said it would, did it while he was president of the united states then job. oh, so now i was like you to repeat the import. you gave me a few months later and that does seem to be what he's doing here. he's. he's trailing an opinion polls for next october, the elections to the former president. enough of the seal of a buy quite a lot. he knows this. he's also said that there's only 3 options as far as he's concerned with those elections, victory, death, or prison. defeat doesn't come into it. so he's doing it. we can, it seems to try to undermine legitimacy, the integrity of many of brazil's democratic institutions, including as you've mentioned, the supreme court, the congress, often the media and those very elections which are due next october. he knows it seems, or the science point to him losing those. he doesn't want to accept that he's whipping

up. his support today was independence day in brazil, and he called his supporters to come out and show a force to see how far it seems. he could push those limits of democracy to see how brazilians would react to his words and his actions. yeah, i mean the elections in brazil are next year, so quite a few months to go. but how could this all play out by then? when it does seem 13 months before the elections, that the campaign with this, these rallies on the independence day seem to have started in the lines have been very clearly drawn a very polarized situation. you have this extreme right wing president maverick president. some would say fighting against his former rival, the former president enough, you lose desilva who was imprisoned and then pardon the corruption charges. so you have to extremes of brazilian politics a very little in the way of center ground. know candidates coming to the 4th to

fill the center ground. so it does seem as though the situation already polarized is likely to become even more so as this campaign rolls out over the next few months, especially with these in century words. we've heard during the rallies in brazilian ansel, paolo today more of these likely to come, certainly as things pan out and the shrine la with the laser stand speaking to us from one is iris. daniel, thank you. was going to mexico now with a supreme court has ruled that abortion is not a crime. it's a no, but several provisions of a little that criminalize the act in the state of quite wheeler court. we la is across the border from the you state of texas. which actually has recently passed one of the harshest anti abortion laws in the united states while we are apollo, is outside the supreme court in mexico. so money just want us through the vote today in the supreme court. and what exactly was decided

the right barbara will set the seed for a little bit. were outside mexico, supreme court, mexico city rain coming down, already disperse that small crowd of conservative rights activists that had gathered here unhappy with the decision by the supreme court today. but what exactly was decided this ruling, this vote today by the supreme court is specific to a section of the criminal code of the mexican state of while wheeler, which criminalizes abortion that's now been deemed unconstitutional. and what this does is that it sets in motion a precedent that would be criminalized abortion in the rest of the country as well . now this was a unanimous vote by mexico's supreme court and in broader terms. what that means is that mexico becomes the 4th country in latin america to seek the criminalization of, of abortion, following origin, tita uruguay and cuba. my apologies there. now this announcement also arrived ahead

of planned marches and demonstrations by women's rights groups. here in mexico city who are planning to demonstrate later this month, among other things, requesting the criminalization of abortion. now, police have continued to block off this area around the supreme court, anticipating that demonstrations and protests could take place. but i think the reign has been a better job of dispersing those crowds. again, following this unprecedented decision by the mexican supreme court and money. that abortion is unsurprisingly, a very issue. mexico is known to be quite a conservative country. so can we expect any pushback to this decision? while the decision by the supreme court is final, there is an expectation that pushback is going to be inevitable. we can't lose sight of the fact that mexico is one of the most catholic countries in the world of 4 states. here. mexico had already previously decriminalize abortion, including where we are now in mexico city. but we should expect that in many of the more conservative parts of the country,

the decision by the supreme court is not going to be a welcome decision. we can point to states like web log when i was one school just to name a few. we should also know that the archbishop of the catholic church here in mexico did formerly request that the supreme court yesterday ahead of this vote reconsider it's decision. but having that said wheels are in motion, mexico now becomes the most populous country in latin america, to seek legalization to, to seek de criminalization of abortion. and we should note that this does arrive at the same time that we're seeing tougher restrictions being place right across the border in texas. so it wouldn't be difficult to imagine a scenario where women in texas could be coming to mexico seeking safe and legal abortions which just a few years ago would have founded quite the real manual that i follow with the latest from mexico city. manuel, thanks a lot more felt the come in this news our just i can.
