8:00 am
we followed the citizens of this war to a nation as they pushed the limits for supplies. risking is sierra leo on al jazeera. ah . but taliban names established members as ministers, enough ganna songs, new interim government, but a washington voice, a strong reservation. ah . hello, i'm diamond jordan, this is out. is there a lie of also coming up a fire to prison in indonesia hills, at least $41.00. and these dozens injured will have a live upstate victory,
8:01 am
the pro abortion rights campaigners in mexico. the supreme court rules of criminalizing the procedure is unconstitutional. and the only surviving suspect in france's back on the tax does on trial impacts. ah, but taliban has unveiled an interim government declaring up against on islamic emerett 3 weeks after seizing control. the most powerful positions have been given to men who dominated the 20 year war against the us led coalition and its african allies. there are no women in the government, and the taliban hasn't said if it will hold elections. acting prime minister mohammed has an account and is a taliban founding member. he served as foreign minister and deputy prime minister during the group's last indian power from $996.00 to 2001 acting defense ministers mohammed the crew, the eldest son, the taliban, found that mila mom. he's a military commandant and has really been seen in public service. judy. hi,
8:02 am
connie will become interior minister. he's head of the how county network, which has been blamed for some of the gun stones most violent attacks in recent years. the role of foreign minister will be filled by a con talkie, who took part in negotiations with the united states, and another participant in peace talks carried in mohamed. how nice has been and economy minister, let's begin. charles stratford, he's live for us from the capital combo charlie. so the taliban has announced this all male interim government. so what are the expectations and of the afghan people? well i think it's fair to say that the expectations of many of the afghan people was something that was going to look a very different to this. as you say, most of these appointments are members very much of an old god. and of course, in the build up to this, this announcement of this new into room cabinet, we were told by repeatedly, by taliban officials,
8:03 am
the spokesman that this government was going to be inclusive, that it was going to include women that there was going to be representation of various different ethnic minorities in, in this, in this government that's simply hasn't happened. so yeah. as i say one can only imagine that a lot of people are very disappointed. now experts are saying that one of the main reasons why 1st, why there was such a delay. in the announcement of this government was because of factional in fighting between taliban leaders of various different shades of ideology and an interests. and of course, there was the battle in punchy valley that may have delayed it also. but they're also saying that the appointments are reflection also those factional differences. and that may be one of the reasons why we have so many old names names associated with, with a ton of on leadership of yesteryear. now it's all about have said that this is
8:04 am
going to be something new. they say they have changed. and as i say they all promising a permanent, a permanent government later, we don't know when that is going to be, as you say, there's been no mention of elections with respect to the appointment of women. now that was very much sort of fudged over last night. by the taliban spokesperson missouri head. and he was asked by a journalist, why are there any women in this cabinet or that have been appointed? he said, well, it's not over yet. there are still more ministries that we need to discuss that we will be appointing people in. and he said that women's rights would be reflected in those appointments. so nothing solid really on, on that front. as i say, i think not only afghans will be disappointed, but obviously there will be big concerns in the international community as to whether these people that will be leading this country are capable indeed of
8:05 am
delivering the goods and delivering on their promises of protecting human rights and for example, not using this country as a place to haul, the terrorism or groups that may want to launch attacks against foreign countries. something that the tyler bond has repeatedly said. it will not allow to happen until the health sector. there is close to collapse due to a lack of money and the countries still heavily dependent. is it not on international aid? absolutely down. yeah, i mean, the un says that these countries are the point of a humanitarian catastrophe. we know that around $18000000.00, that's almost half the population we need on a daily basis. a few managerial night thought has been held up because of the ongoing crisis. and of course, you know that so about ship the, the funds of that this country needs are being frozen either and in american bank.
8:06 am
so we have the world bank saying that it needed proof that the tyler bond, we're going to act on the commitments they've said on human rights before the funds were this. is it millions? tens of millions of dollars. and let's not forget that some of the people who have been announced as a, for example, the, the interim interior minister. now he is wanted by the f b i, he's considered to be belonging to a terror organization. the colony networks name is roger connie. now the child said connie network do not exist, but they are accused of committing some of the worst attacks in recent years. so one can you imagine that the americans and the rest of the world are going to be looking and saying, well look, these are exactly the kind of people we didn't want to see in power. because you know, that makes it very difficult for us to act on our promises of freeing some of the money that you need. and in the last couple of days,
8:07 am
the world health organization has said that potentially over 2000 health facilities in this country. the point of actually having to be closed because world bank money isn't being made available to them. and we visited one of those clinics in a rural area just outside cobble yesterday. and this is what we found for zona is in pain. she's come to this rule clinic, north of cobbles, the treatment for the doctors can't help her. i want to have done another job. 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. the med them permission there,
8:08 am
call it carol, does a bonus. patients come and they get angry and fight with us because we have no medicine. this is the only hospital in steven district still open. last night we had to help women give birth using our mobile phone lives. some of 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 it's valuable, retook power. so this is the clinics medicine, so we'll 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 saying they are struggling to
8:09 am
support families. i'm not comfortable, much of that. we don't have enough money to pay for taxes to come to work since we haven't paid in 5 months. that is another thing the u. n says that more than 30000000 people benefited from the world bank funding clinics in afghanistan like this one last year. so for one of the remote curtis, but 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. the world bank says it's frozen afghan stance project funding because it wants the tale, bonds to prove itself on human rights before it releases any cash flows. ana and a husband had home with a young son. they and millions of guns liked them suffering as a consequence of events and actions far beyond their control. charts, rapid al jazeera mirror, but your quote of going to stop. meanwhile,

8:11 am
a joint press conference in lincoln also pushed the taliban to stick by its promises. the people can leave afghanistan if they want to us. we're going to continue to engage. we're in 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, as with any commitment itala 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 and then switch over there and we are about to get everything operation. and 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 a humanitarian is lincoln and austin are the most senior us officials to visit the goal since the taliban retook power. enough can stand in august. both men also went to elo date, airbase in doha, where they paid tribute to both american troops and africa. 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. 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. mohammed jim drama just now 41. people have been killed and fired a prison in indonesia, the blades that the tango and jail knew the capitol. jakarta has not been put out
