rules that criminalizing the procedure is unconstitutional. ah, we begin with guns dawn as be international community begins reacting to the taliban and new interim government. the united states says it's concerned about some of the members named in the cabinet announced on tuesday. washington says the concern is over the affiliations and track records of some of the new cabinet members. a state department statement says washington will judge the taliban government by actions as hotline as take key posts. the entirely mail cabinet is made up of senior taliban figures, some of whom own the u. s. and global terrorism watch lists. while the group had promised in inclusive government representing all. ready ass gowns, but there are no women shear,
10:02 am
all previous administration officials who were chosen to take part. let's go through the less acting prime minister. mm hm. it has some acount is a taliban and founding member. he served as foreign minister and deputy prime minister during the groups last stint in power from 996 to 2001. the taliban co founder, probably known as mueller barava, has been named as the deputy prime minister. he had the groups political office in doha and has been the taliban the most visible face in recent years. the acting defense minister is mohammed. yes, cooper. he is the eldest son of the taliban, found that omar, he's a military commander, and has rarely been seen in the public eye. sir jude and connie will become interior minister. he is head of the hi connie network, which has been blamed for some of the afghanistan most violent attacks in recent years. finally, the role of foreign minister will be failed by a mere con talkie,
10:03 am
who took part in negotiations with the united states. as go to charles draft that his lie 1st in cobble, charles with the taliban has announced this old male in term government made up by old god taliban figures. how's this likely to go down with ordinary afghans? well, i mean, certainly the ordinary guns would hold a very different story by the taller bon, he's fair to say that i've guns. we're looking forward to possibly a far more inclusive government than this. as you say, a government that would have at least had appointments. women appointed more ethnically diverse cabinets and wider appointments. that simply hasn't happened yet about spokesperson last night. say that obviously this is not a permanent government. this is an interim interim administration, and implied that later on when more ministries are announced than his words,
10:04 am
things like women's rights would be better accounted for. but there were no great details given there. and as you say, all these main members are taliban figures and figures that were, had some sort of role in the previous taliban government, or have been right at the forefront of the fighting against us late nato forces and the previous government here. and i'm sure that guns are very concerned about what that means for them in the eyes of the western world. when you have figures like sir richard in connie, the leader of the connie network, a group that you know, the west to blame for some of the most terrible attacks in recent is who is on a wanted list, an organization that is listed as a terror organization. when he is made the into the interior minister, you can imagine what a lot of people here think when there are complaints,
10:05 am
by the way, that this is happened. and the west is saying, well, unless this is a bore, inclusive government, unless the taliban behaves and axel and commitments with respect to human rights, you're not going to get any money. which of course, has an immediate effect on the millions of afghans here live getting poverty that according to the u. a, in almost half the population is in need of humanitarian aid. and of course, studies dependent on money being frozen. the world bank has frozen tens of millions of dollars. we know that the u. s. government has around $9500000000.00 frozen in us accounts as well. it's all about last night, according to their spokesperson, still says that, you know, this will be an inclusive administration that will, that will take on board those ideas that so they need to be given a chance. they will prove themselves. but the analysts will tell you that many adults are not surprised that this is happened. and he said another example they
10:06 am
say of. busy despite precious from the west, despite precious from betty elements within this country, the tall about will do as they please. so yeah. all eyes on western reaction which we expect to be receiving today. and also obviously on exactly what kind of reaction there will be inside off can. i can stand by ordinary afghans. many thanks for that tone, strong diverse in couple moroccans are heading to the pulse to choose new members of parliament. regional councils becomes an economic crisis deepened by the pandemic, and a sense of frustration over the lack of political reform promised a decade ago. by 18000000 people are expected to vote in the general election, which is the thud since a new constitution was introduced in 2011. 395 seats in the house of
10:07 am
representatives are being contested, as well as more than 31000 municipal and regional positions. a new law has changed how the policy share of seats will be calculated, will be based on the number of people on the electoral roles rather than the number of people who actually vote the justice and development party which heads the current coalition. government says the reform unfairly benefits smaller parties that's going to correspond ben smith who is live for us in the capital robot. but good to see you. so as we enter election day, what is the mood of people paul's opened here. what about 10 minutes ago and really only a trickle of people we've seen going through to vote at the school. an indication really of the after apathy that there seems to be a morocco over these elections. so now rate is going to be estimated to be only around 35 percent or so particularly low. this is the school wide web prime
10:08 am
minister sod money will vote later this morning. really, the biggest question is whether this will be his last boat prime minister, lead the justice and development party has been out since the elections 1st post. our springing elections here in 2011 when the constitution was changed, supposedly gave political parts and the prime minister more power in regards to the king. what people say has happened in morocco over those last 10 years. in fact, the king has continued to wield a huge amount of influence. for example, while the, just as a development development party has the prime minister's position, it doesn't have any positions in the cabinet. the king points all those significant cabinet members, and he's given them to other parties. so the justice and development party will say the old, a stuck against the king,
10:09 am
doesn't like them. everything is trying to be done to try and stop them winning, including this particular way. they're going to change the voting system, waiting in the wings. say the analysts say is a national riley of independent leader. these new she's a billionaire agriculture minutes, a very charismatic character. viewed as being very close to the pallet, he is the one who people suspect might get enough votes to be able to combine the role of prime minister. i get many things for that. but as smith monitoring the election in robot for us, we can get a little more analysis on this mohammed mass by the president of the moroccan institute for policy analysis and an associate fellow at chatham house. he joins us live from robots. many thanks for taking the time. let's just start with the chart changes that have been made to the electoral system. how these like heat impact, the election process. i think if it's into way,
10:10 am
firstly, it will allow smaller, far to get a bigger share all the seats. but however, this is just, or the parliamentary elections or the local election will also send a smaller and smaller parties. and this means also that we will have more both of these asian, both in the local parliament and with which means that political parties will find it very difficult to correlations. and to find constance this, when you have a large number of political parties, they did, for example, i mean, if the policy or a government with 7 or 8 political party, we would, we heard that from our correspondent bennett, saying that turn out is expected to be low, there's a lot of apathy with this election, why people are invested in it because there is no trust in political
10:11 am
parties, and the actual promise is given by policy support. it has been borne years law since 2 or 3 decades. and since that's nothing has changed actually, fifties in know that's actually the real power is not in the hands of political parties in dance of the us. so actually this gives like a kind of a fuss. the with election became so boring for people is just an older election like any other talk through some of the challenges facing morocco at the moment. we know that corona virus, for example, is hit the country hard, but the economy is also in a lot of trouble, isn't it? indeed, i'm in many countries over the world. i mean, because it actually impacts,
10:12 am
but not only does we have structured problems with the economy link to high level of fuel. roy meant corruption and for on isn't all this type of problems has been added to the proof of virus photo mix, which is very but, and even before the call, the record denies the speech that the current a photo make more space and, or does a new commission to propose that answer so that the new government actually is expected to apply what this new commission has already proposed. so even with the election, it's the government we were going to just apply was an order formation. provided a solution for the phone of the interesting money fund fee analysis mohammed mass by president of the moroccan institute for policy analysis. speaking to us from robot. thank you. at least 41 people have been killed in
