a religious leader. cedar judy and tommy will handle secures. he is acting interior minister. he leads the hack county network, which has been blamed for some of kind of stones most violent attacks and his high and has a 5000000 dollar bounty on his head set by the f. b i acting is defense minister is mohammed the cooper, the l. the son of taliban founder and willow march. he's a military commander, but has rarely been seen in public. and army or con, tacky will be acting foreign minister. he took part in negotiations with the us and called on rival african forces. the whole 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. he's come to this rule clinic,

north of cobbles, the treatment for the doctors can't help her on the done another some budget stuff 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 got to stop 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 bone the 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 our mobile phone lines. the world health organization says 90 percent of more than $2300.00 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 or the past off se if they are struggling with families. i'm not comfortable, much of that. we don't have enough money to pay for taxes to come to work citizen. we haven't 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. 100 tuckerman curtis. but who could mosher?

well, unfortunately, the hospitals work. he's coming to a standstill. we have no free drugs for patients on the people can't afford to buy their own from other places that the, the world bank says it's frozen afghanistan's project funding. because it wants the tale to prove itself on human rights before it releases any cash flows on and her husband had home with a young son. they and millions of guns liked him suffering as a consequence of events and actions far beyond their control. charles, rapid al jazeera, mere, but a quote of going to stop. at least 2 people have been shot dead and several more injured after a protest in the western african city of head up dozens of people march to demonstrate against pakistan's alleged support for the taliban. women were also calling for greater representation in the new government and for their rights to be respected. members of the taliban have fired shots into the air in kabul to

disperse hundreds of protesters, many of them women. the several journalists were briefly detained. those rallies took place in the capital against taliban rule. thousands of protesters mainly women gathered outside the pakistan embassy, alleging interference in afghanistan. we are protesting because we don't want a dictatorship. we don't want pakistan's into services intelligent, interfering, and our country's domestic war. we are protesting to support the women and we came here to support the national resistance from well, the us secretary of state says the taliban has reiterated a pledge to allow people with travel documents to freely the part of canister on anthony blink and made the comments during a visit to capital capital doha, where he and defense secretary lloyd austin,

including american citizens, a freely depart, afghanistan, as with any commitment atalla makes, we're focused on what they do, not just on what they say another important topic of discussion, how company teams are working towards reopening, how many cars international airport. but we have fixed a lot of that events which are over there and we are about to get everything operation at a very soon. now we didn't reach 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. flight with, with the 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 l. o. date, airbase and doha,

where they paid tribute to both american troops and afghan. but this visit was about more than just appreciation. it was also a way for the united states to signal it will continue to stand by its allies when it comes to afghanistan. president binds administration is 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. it's then it's critical. while stopping by a compound housing afghan refugees lincoln met members of the afghan girls robotic team. another attempt at reassurance in uncertain times. mamma jim drama is here. several planes chartered to evacuate about 2000 afghans and the americans are still on the airport tarmac in the northern city of missouri sharif that have been reports that the taliban are blocking hundreds of people from boarding charter flights out of the country. taliban officials say that will let

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 father 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 fed the fortune you that the risks were high of keeping the fact you running in that region because a graduate before installed. but the 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 of admitted to some mistakes were made. but they say that it was mainly the syrian managers on the ground who are making decisions at the time. so to come in this half hour, it's just, i can take it any more. i'll tell you why some doctors and nurses in the us are quitting their jobs. is that from colbert 19 hit a new high. and wrapping up germany's economic recovery angle merkel says a motor show was crucial to her countries post pandemic plan. ah.

however we got big blue skies across much of australia at the moment, sir. not looking too bad till we have got quite a brisk wind, rattling through the bites. still while the breezy they're into tasmania, easing over towards new zealand, but bright skies for many or maybe we'll see some type of rain, grassy pushing into the south west of australia as we go on through wednesday. so some weather weather coming in just to the south of perth at this state thought and trial swear, still fading, a general wesley wind towards that southeast corner. so melbourne. adelaide 2122 degrees. it will warm up as we go on through the remainder of the week. so we're getting a little warm into the mid twenties in adelaide as we go through thursday 26. therefore, sidney weather will make his way across the south, out of new zealand. not too bad to the north island, 16 celsius. therefore oakland lassie, dry and fine here for the time being fine dry into northeast and parts of china.

meanwhile, we got some wet weather. the process of pushing across the korean peninsula, making its way towards japan on shoe q. she's seeing some very, very wet weather, 3 wednesday and going on into thursday. composition. take it around $28.00 celsius . brightest guys. come back in behind with a legacy of one or 2 sharp showers. the my name is sandra. i'm the foster, i'm in the county killer jeweler, refund of shoes. if you bought for a living mechanic, was shop. you will see that you said you're gone after baby i mine i did as it was just estimates on to nothing. mine i do the are women are strong with my my. on our do there. ah,

me, the ah, come back is a reminder of the top stories on al jazeera, the taliban spokesmen has announced the names of the men who will be leading a kind of new transitional government. the list of cabinet members is dominated by members of the groups, old guard, and there are no women in the world health organization meanwhile says more than 2000 medical facilities across a chemist on face in minute closure. that's after the world bank blocked tens of millions of dollars in funding for projects after the taliban retail powered last month. and francis top court of appeal has ruled against one of the country's

largest companies, over allegations that it funded eyesore in syria. the company continue to operate there between 20122014. despite the threats of armed groups including i saw in the region, jaytal, seattle has attacked brazil's voting system and the supreme court. while critics accuse him of trying to undermine democracy in latin, america's largest country, police have fired to peer gas at the brazilian president, supporters as they attempted to storm the supreme court. they're unhappy that judges of back that investigation into the ball from that had been distractions handling of the pandemic as well as possible corruption. earlier the president lashed out of the court while addressing supporters at an independence they rally know that we'll get to it. we don't want disruption. we don't want to fight with anybody, but we can't accept as it's to distort our democracy. we call it success. anybody

who puts our freedom at risk. critics fear both and our supporters will eventually be encouraged to invade the judiciary and cause a riot, like donald trump support his data, the u. s. capital back in january. that's cost. daniel schriner, who joins us from woodside. is daniel, good to see you? we just heard both, so now they're talking about possible distortion of democracy. i mean, pretty strong words and concepts. so what we hope to achieve and all of this what is often said, barbara, especially by both scenarios. detractors, what donald trump said and did in the united states gyal sonata was likely to do in portuguese, a few months later. and he certainly seems to be doing that. he is trailing badly in the opinion. polls the next october presidential elections to the former president enough. louis enough, you'll do that. the silva, he knows that he's beginning to question the integrity of those elections, trying to lay the foundations for a possible defeat,

which he says he won't accept. he said, any 3 options available to him next october, that he has victory, death of a forgotten, the 3rd one, the victory death or prison of the 3 possible options. defeat certainly doesn't come into it as far as he's concerned. so he has been questioning many of brazil's democratic institutions, including as you mentioned, the supreme court, which is investigating him for possible corruption. he's losing support drastically for his handling of the pandemic. also for those corruption charges against him for his attitude to women, to indigenous population, deforestation, all sorts of issues. at the same time, he still does have substantial support. many tens of thousands came out during the independence. they rallies as a show that support to him for him. many of them urging him to take control of the of democratic institutions using violence if necessary. so strong was and it seemed

like it is, there's going to be more to come more to come over the election is i think roughly a year way. so how is it likely to play out ahead of that election? well i think we've already seen during the rallies that brazil is an increasingly polarized country. politically. we have those supports as i mentioned, supporting a right wing of president the rest. the next biggest challenge is the former president, luis enough to lose the silver a left wing president who spent some time in prison on corruption charges which were late later overturn. very little in the way of center grounds. and it seems unlikely that any center is candidate will emerge between now and those election. do you have to real choices for president next year? the right wing president or the former left wing president? so he's really just increasing the polarization that we saw out on the streets,

across the grill of brazil during those independent se rallies than the traveler with the latest on that from one. as alice. daniel, thank you. gravel fighter is a say that at least 150 people starved to death in e. 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 or a conflict is spilling over into neighboring regions. mohammed though, has long if you p as north on to guy region 9 months of war between the if europe in federal government and lead us into great how spread into the neighboring regions of up for. and i'm hotter creating a severe military and crisis. so united initials warns that's what's effectively a blockade on a convoy and i will for pushing millions of people to the brink of family. people like sadie ali and 5 children. they fled there from 2 months ago,

falling out of 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. in 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 aidan to the region where 90 percent of the population in need of help. it estimates $100.00 trucks of a need to integrate each day to feed them a lot. that warning came a little force is reportedly looted, warehouses disjoint, 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 alpha. and i'm hot out the number of this place because facing farming is directed to rise. situation improves unless the fighting dies down. we can only see the situation deteriorating extensively in the next weeks, months as a warning in a country that's already suffered. so much. mohammed dog is eda. i will be kenya. the number of deaths from covered 19 in africa has just gone past 200000. the continental 1300000000 people has suffered as badly as with fear that the start of the pandemic that have been more than 3 times the number of deaths in the united states alone. but there are concerns over the future is only around 8 percent of people in africa. 54 nations have received at least one vaccination. well, meanwhile, deaths from covered 19 in the united states are the highest as since last winter.

the latest search has been driven by the delta vary and to as those who are unvaccinated, the pandemic is taking a toll on some health care workers who say enough is enough. how's there is how these jo, castro has more. 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 told me. have you taken the loading docks? we say 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 to take her 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 seen. the staff here called this 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. 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 beg in vain for more people to get vaccinated or blamed themselves for not being convincing. now some are just set up and done was still more though exhausted and overwhelmed. press on hydro, castro al jazeera mexico supreme court has ruled that abortion is not a crime. it's an all the several provisions of a law that criminalize the act in the state of cor, wheeler cor, we lays across the border from the state of texas,

which of course has recently passed one of the harshest anti abortion laws in america, malware. apollo is outside the supreme court in mexico city. 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 in 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, this decision by the supreme court is not going to be a welcome decision. we can point to states like web log when i was while holly school just to name a few. we should also note 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 abortion. chancellor angler merkel has opened a germany's international motor show the 1st in europe since the start of the corona virus pandemic organizers last billions of dollars and canceled events. but burkle told motor workers that the industries recovery is in sight. andrew simmons reports from munich 2 years without a show when now europe's biggest comic germany takes center stage asian gentlemen. the id lies lots of razzmatazz and not a gas guzzler insight. here attempt to come and nerves of around 808000 german workers, dependent on the car industry, the outgoing german chancellor on this up when the connection and we want to pick

up where we left off and allow the economy to really catch up again. this can already be seen in the motor industry, even if some supply bottlenecks are costing shadows at the moment. those shadows take some of the shine off electric car sales. the weakest link isn't range anxiety, your recharge infrastructure. it's the chip. many millions of desperately needed semiconductor microchips to be exact. it's serious. i mean, there are many factors that have to stop certain production line because they're missing out on the p o that they have to built into the car. and this will go on for a couple of months while the motor industry itself is doing really well, the shows to promote it, have crashed, cancellations, because of coven have cost organizes more than $40000000000.00. even before the pandemic, the shows were losing money. so now, although at 1st sight, you might not realize it, there are changes. it's shiny, it's new, futuristic,

contemporary. but you might be forgiven for thinking. this is kasha. we organizers say no. make over is underway. corporate consultants have dropped the word car from the events name. it's now and the ability. sure. and the consultants have come up with what they think. a catchy questions. what will move those next steps may be this or thomas bus, or for those of us old enough to remember the bubble car. this one has its own brain. all electric motorcycles, power pedal by another question. why are we here? well, many big names from the united states and elsewhere didn't show up to answer that. the electric car is secure, the road ahead is green, but for the mobility show, the future may not be as smooth run. andrew simmons al jazeera munich can find out

much more on that story and everything else that we've been covering here now 0 on our website, the address, i'll just say red dot com the me and now the top stories on al jazeera, the taliban hasn't veiled a new interim government declaring if can astonished make emerett 3 weeks after seizing control of cobble, the most powerful positions have been given to men who dominated the 20 year war against the us led coalition and this african allies. there are no women in the government. meanwhile, the world health organization says more than 2000 medical facilities across af, catalyst on face imminent closure. that's after the world back.
