1:02 pm
watch lists, china and cold for an open and inclusive government. it says it will maintain communication and recognize the new leadership. well, the group promised an inclusive government representing all africans, but no shia or previous administration officials have been chosen to take part acting. prime minister, one of mohamad huss on the corner is a taliban funding member. he served as foreign minister and the deputy prime minister during the groups last engine power from 1996 to 2001. the taliban co founder, popularly known as mall, about adopt, has been named as the deputy prime minister. he had to de groups political office in doha that has been the taliban most visible face in recent years. the acting defend this minister is small v mohammed, jehovah and the eldest son of taliban find a mother omar. he's a military commander, and he's rarely being seen in the public tie. all of a should have done so, honey will become interior minister. he's head of the her connie network,
1:03 pm
which has been blamed for some of ghana stanz most violent attacks in recent years . and they're, all of foreign ministers is going to be filled about by more of the army, a one we're talking, who took part in negotiations with the u. s. ok, let's going to, let's speak now to chop stock vote. who's live for us in a couple charts. what's the reaction amongst of afghan is now to this way. this can you government? well, it depends on who you speak to, rob. we understand there's going to be a lot of support for this government certainly in and around to talk about strongholds of the south in helmand province kandahar, for example, interested. we speak to a lot of people here on the streets of cobble as well. and one thing that a lot of them, if not majority of who said is that there is a sense of relief, at least this government is interim government has now been announced. and there is a sense that if nothing else, at least even amongst their detractors, those that oppose, that's all a bond, there is
1:04 pm
a sense of security greatest security. i mean, bear in mind that this country self 20 is even more of war. lot of people have been telling us that now they just want to restart their lives. they want food on the table, they want economic opportunities, they want jobs. interestingly, some of the women as well that our team has been speaking to in cobble, said that they are insisting that they have women representatives in this government or in a future government of the interim government aids. because as they say they all, in many cases, the sol breadwinners, they are the members of the family that will go out and the money to put the food on the table. and they say that it is more, more political representation is interesting. when you speak to analysts and question them as to what, what they think about the fact that they're all, for example, no women in this into government, they will say, well, we shouldn't be surprised because according to the solid bonds interpretation of
1:05 pm
sharia law, there would be no real chance for a position for a woman in real leadership. anyway, of course, there are concerns about inclusivity when it comes to the various different ethnic groups here. a lot of the focus of attention in recent days is being in the fighting in the punchy valley where we know the majority of the population there are they certainly very under represented in any of these into portfolios. as all the was banks about me was basically saying, give us a chance. there was a statement made last night by the supreme leader gonzalez. he said this was his 1st statement. he said that i've got to start new rules are committed to international laws, treaties commitments, not in conflict with islamic law. a lot hangs on these statements. the international community, the europeans, the americans are looking for proof that the tale bond will stick by their
1:06 pm
commitments in protecting human rights. because of course, if they don't, there is that threat. that's millions of dollars of i can cash and vital funding for humanitarian. i could remain frozen, as i say, in general, the streets of cobble this morning. com. and by and large there is an underlying sense of relief. but putting together an interim government is only just the 1st step. there are a lot of challenges for us kind of standard, of course for the taliban themselves as well. that's right. again, another thing that you hear from any analyst you speak to is doubts as to whether the tolerable and have the experience. the know how the technical know how, for example, of pulling this country back together of getting it back on its feet. the incredible economic, a humana, cherry, and challenges that it faces. the un, i said, time and time again that the country is literally on the cusp of humanitarian
1:07 pm
catastrophe. they also say that 18000000 people of a population of 38000000 rely on humanitarian aid every day. and of course, america and europe and states are very concerned about some of the personalities in this interim government that they say are cues of being part of terror networks on un blacklists. and of course, there is the vital notion of the vital element of funding that hangs in the balance . and i mean, one of the most devastating faxes to is that the world health organization in the last couple of days has said that over 2000 health facilities across this country could be forced to stop working in the next few days because of money being held up by the world bank, and yesterday we went out to a room community and we visited one of these health facilities. this is what we found. for zona is in pain. she's come to this room clinic,
1:08 pm
north of cobbles, the treatment for the doctors can't help her. i want to have done another some, roger versa. 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 af, gonna stop, because there's no more medicine available to treat the sick or treat even the most basic medical complaints and made them publish and they call it cut out the 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. so last night we had to help women give birth using our mobile phone lines. the world health organization says 9 cheaper centers, more than $2300.00 health facilities. face eminence closure because world bank
1:09 pm
money issued under the previous government has run out. and it froze funding when it's holly about retook power. so this is the clinics medicine still 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 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 the u. n says that more than 30000000 people benefited from the world bank funding clinics in afghanistan like this one last year. to have a 100 that remind kurdish about who could mergers? well, unfortunately, the hospitals work is coming to
1:10 pm
a standstill. we have no fee drugs for patients on the people can't afford to buy their own from other places. so the, the well, 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, head home with a young son. they and millions of guns liked them suffering as a consequence of events and actions. far beyond their control, charles rapid al jazeera mere boucher could stand toby, but said i was a member of the peace negotiating team under farmer africa and president shelf. connie, she's joining us now from isna in turkey. it's good to happy with us on our agenda . you have been in the room, find these negotiations with the taliban, have been taking place now. several of those taliban members are forming part of the new government of afghanistan. what was your impression of them when you were sitting in that room? thank you very my job. my impression,
1:11 pm
even in the beginning, was that the ton of on a don't believe to liberty. they don't believe to women. of course, they believe women drive to something different. they want to say that we are less spec thing. women respecting women to stay at home. it means that the women to stay at home doing nothing, not to be in the public, not to get job, not to go well at the beginning. it was clear or as we were told on, and i need table with where we are. there was a comfort on the meeting or something that were there was no new single woman among them. and of course it was clear for me for, for me and for our team and especially for me. and so it's not that kind of the right for me, because they don't believe the woman's rights. and of course they are thing that
1:12 pm
women are not not and now to under high position. but it's not, it's not just, not the saying something, according to the chevy at the beginning of the slum, doing a month for all women war. once they made out of money. now it seems, or digital product say she was, that was, profit must be set on him. so she was working with the prophet mohammed showed that marshall and that doesn't mean that women can not be on the top of the top level company, but they don't believe the woman that the issue, of course, is as wider than also that did interest of women we're talking about doing says entity of representation from minority groups as well. and i've kind of stand,
1:13 pm
there's a man, this amount of international attention being paid to the makeup of our taliban government. and i've got a son going forward and there's a lot of money writing on this as well as there is a lot of investment. do you think that the structure of the taliban government, as it is at the moment, gives us an indication of how kind of son is going to be ruled in the future? given the fact that the taliban has said this is an interim government. there are still posts to be felt. do you think that that is going to put greater pressure on them to actually be more inclusive than given what you are saying? perhaps they want to be not only women? yes, i will. i want to do that because see any minority on that route. why? why on the entering government that the women and might not if they can not be improved? what is the reason for that? i think it just, they have mentality. that's not something that they can be just,
1:14 pm
i mean, not being the responsibility they have to, to responsibility. and then there should be a push from in commission community to them that we haven't been talking about the inclusive as we start off and cruise at the bottom. and so this is, they don't believe that that's why there shouldn't be a lot of pressure, not only for the top one, but the, the, the people, the company that they, they are the one they have to be. i shouldn't be a pleasure to them, that they have to convince them that they should listen to the people they should come to the other. what they can not. let me ask you to forgive me for interrupting you, but i want to ask you about the about the logistics of this. the child is that start for the correspondent was just talking about the challenges that the taliban government faces going forward. given your experience that you've heard about talking to these individual, these, these individuals talking to getting an idea of their personalities. do you think
1:15 pm
that the taliban in practical terms in terms of running a country is different now compared to the way it was in previous incarnations? it's not a big difference. it's not the big difference because a big composition of the government is not, and we can not see any excellent people. we can not see any progression of that. they can run the company all the malone that they have been having didn't. it's not for sure, you know, the village of martha, they are coming and they took the position to run the country, of course and running the country. nice expertise needs for christianity that the people that they could be professional on the f. b, at least, for example, if you can, you want to take money or give kind of thing to the donor community that to do something that needs,
1:16 pm
that kind of proportionality on day economy. undefined them shouldn't be push what the mission of people to to run the country in the now what question out at the not, not about to run the come hobby, but sad about it. so we appreciate your being with us and i'll just see them. i'm thank you very much indeed for your time. you most welcome. thank you. tony bye had on the news are including getting his new military brothers sides when over the people as neighboring countries consider sanctions. communities in america is northeast to take stock of the damage left in the wake of harkin item and in sports the netherlands are flying high and low cup qualify as thanks to their captain more than that later in sport. ah, moroccans are voting for new members of parliament and regional cancels the election comes amid an economic crisis. deepened by the pandemic, and
1:17 pm
a sense of frustration over the lack of political reform promised a decade ago. about 18000000 people expected to vote. this is the 3rd election since the new constitution was introduced in 2011 violence miss joining us live now from workers capital robot. i'm the one of the people in morocco feeling about these elections. rob van general apathy, really a sort of lowest turn out is expected not more than about 35 percent of the voting station in robots in or about sub where the prime minister saturday now mom has just voted. he's still inside there, minute talking to the press. the question is whether this is this is the last election is left vote cast as a prime minister has the justice and development party. it's the largest party has been the largest party and parliament since more democratically focus elections following the arab spring in 2010,
1:18 pm
2011. but the rules have been changed. it's going to be harder for the p j. d to win the majority of seats this time round. and also there is a general feeling that they have not been able to achieve as much as they wanted to achieve. a lot of that to do with the fact that the king remains in control of much of the policy in the appointment of cabinet ministers, but also criticism. but the p j. d has not just not been able to deliver politically. so there are various options, various contenders, one of the main ones is thought to be the canoes. the leader of the national riley of independence was very close to the palace and this thought of it, his party comes up and has the most part. and most number of seats, he will be selected as prime minister, but whoever it is, it's going to be a large coalition, larger than coalitions have been before made up of many more parties before because of this new way of allocating seats on the fair. that is it with lots of coalitions, you're going to have a weak government because so many people, so many different parties have got to be pleased all the time. and so again,
1:19 pm
america won't be able to advance much on the political democratic front. the king is the one who still calls the shots. he will appoint most of the main ministers and it's him that he's still seem to be driving government policy, economic policy on the cobra 19 response program. but a thanks very much indeed. that's bernard smith talking to us from morocco's capital robot. well, the west african economic block was will hold an emergency summit later on. why does that discuss the military crew in guinea groups threatening the sanctions after president self? a condo was ousted on sunday. on tuesday, the country's new military rulers released political detainees who are being held by the deposed government already juice reports getting his capital colloquy. guineas new military rule as i want to charm offensive to attract more public support. momentum appears to be on their side and cohesion seems to be growing
1:20 pm
among senior commanders about the call that the president of the 11th at local markets. business has picked up again after sundays, take over, led by lieutenant colonel, mom i did him, we are. and there is optimism about the new rules you haven't. we are very happy we are praying for the new leaders. people have been through hard times. we seen how inflation has eaten into our earnings. many families have suffered under the previous government mining, which accounts for most of guineas, revenue has resumed as and land borders of reopened. political commentators, though, believe phases from the past will dash hawks of change in a country where poverty is overwhelming despite boston. you know, these are people that we are savvy in, in the lunch or not, and jenny alonso not mean until did it find themselves in the african days government. and they want to find themselves in these, my, my,
1:21 pm
the government. so i want to make it possible not to believe, we seem to be very careful to be steadfast, to be based on any of these things. still giving us political opposition sees the course an opportunity for a fresh start. much of the support for the military take over comes from the opposition. there's a huge sense of relief here. the cool it is have now released doesn't support it, can detainees and security code on put in place in opposition? areas has been lifted the next few days and weeks will be critical. on wednesday, a virtual summit of the west africa regional block, of course, is expected to lay the ground rules for the return to democracy. went to the typical to show that even if we don't expect them to delay putting in place an inclusive transition government to take us out of the situation. the cool leaders created although they have corrected the situation that was not normal. the fate of the post president of the country isn't known the united nations, the african union,
1:22 pm
and echoes all want him released many hope wednesdays echoes summit will at least start to pass back to democratic rule, but with a position consolidated for now guineas new rulers may only be willing to make a few confessions, alma degrees, i'll give you a powerful earthquake struck mexico near a popular beach resort. magnitude 7 jumped the center north of acapulco and the state of glasgow. at least one person's been killed as buildings were damaged, including the control tower at acapulco airport par was caught in some neighborhoods. the chalmers were felt up to 100 kilometers away, including the capital mexico city. but then joe biden says it's time the us got serious about the code. red danger of climate change is declared at everybody's crisis. visiting ne, in states head by how to can ida 45 people were killed in new york and new jersey last week. the storm dumped record a months of rain. so folks,
1:23 pm
regardless of the scientists and economists and the national security experts, they all tell us this is code read. the nation and the world are in peril. that's not hyperbolic. that is a fact. they've been warning us. the extreme weather would get more extreme over the decade and we're living in real time now. alas, owners reporting for manville in new jersey. the bill work stands out in front of his home on main street, sorting through this small mountain of what's left of his possessions. it's everybody blows up it flooded off that was under what this is all based. this is generally everybody's based in his basement filled up with water. and it's now a muddy mess with what little he could salvage, and it totally filled up with water and floating above the floor above us. when i 1st moved here, where kohler has lived in the town of man, deal new jersey,
1:24 pm
his entire life, 68 years, and seen 5 different clubs. this was the worst. you see the garages, but the belts, fine. yep. you see the black line? yeah. so this is displayed, the water level was here, like fire as bad as it looks from the ground. the true scale of the destruction can only be seen from the air. a few days ago. first, the town flooded, then gas line breaks, set some homes on fire in. manville population. 10000. its estimated 500 people are now displaced. after the remnants of hurricane ida came through and flooded the town over the weekend. in new jersey, 27 people were killed, making one of the worst natural disasters in the states history that came with a vengeance. the king so fast and so high. i've never seen it as high as they came . ever. i get your all my life and i've never seen the waters as high as they were, their low, low warning. they didn't sound sirens,
1:25 pm
and so after the town started flooding many residents told me the weather is changing, and for the worse they keep telling us that a 100 years or 500 years storms, whatever they tell us. but is that really the case? you know, you look at, look around, i mean, this is 100 year storm and yes, it works on averages, but i think we're, we're exceeding the average quite a bit. his scores are getting more and more intense in the area in a town that bore the brunt of a deadly storm with a long recovery and rebuilding process ahead. gabriel is on dough. how do you see that men do new jersey? a new un report into global disasters says increasingly extreme events are interconnected and the compounding each other. the study examined 10 disasters in the past 2 years, including arctic heat waves, but 2020 texas fries and the corona virus pandemic. it says, all the events are connected to human activity,
1:26 pm
whether greenhouse gas emissions or insufficient risk management and separate disasters are overlapping. smartphone i'm find last year because of spike in coven, 1900 cases. in northern india, after forcing people to crowd into shelters, research, say the solutions are also interconnected. reducing emissions will not only decrease disasters, but there are frequency and overlapping consequences. as it is, if his body is a senior scientist at the united nations university institute for environment and human security, she's joining us now from bon in germany. thank you very much indeed for being with us in terms of the level of interconnectivity that we're seeing. that's being reported in this, is this an extrapolation if you like of an existing situation? or is this something totally new? it does something new because as i said, i just mentioned the fee that these disasters compound more and more. so they
1:27 pm
happen at the same time and if they happen to have the same time, we do see be friends and more severe impact and what are the poor, poor dies we add. additionally, to the time at the 2 x teams or other kinds of experience such as the bio explosion or the extinction of the fish fish species. and with that we can show that it's not the climate change, but it goes beyond that and that will impact connected and we have to find integrative solutions which help us actually to backer this challenge. are we getting close to a point where these become self perpetuating that it gets to a point where it doesn't matter what humanity tries to do. you can't break that chain and it just goes into this perpetual cycle. yes, if it comes to climate change be do and i think reports but what referred to might and where it's
1:28 pm
a really strong child to to act and you have to do more and we have to do it faster . and this was joyce for the buyer. there is a crisis and it's showing up with insufficient disaster disconnection, whereby it's, it's not just one country matter, but it's really something we see globally document the industry when you use a phrase like disaster, risk management, what kind of things are you talking about? what can countries do to try to mitigate the risks from events like this? what is important to recognize that there is not such a thing as a natural disaster, sir. there's a natural, has a which combine them up with our ability is about with our lack of ability to cope or to the sport. and so we need to increase our adaptation efforts. so climate change is going on. we need to feed, you talked about the building after ida for example. what does it mean levy?
1:29 pm
i think if we expect that some of these events will hit again and again, we need to take much more into consideration that some of the area we are living in . we'll see these extreme events again and again, we've got the comp $26.00 climate change conference happening blogs going gotten later on this year. one would imagine that this report is going to at least feature part me in that, but is, is it's enough to wait for a conference like that to bring countries together to get a unified response are, how can you actually bring countries on board with this? and get them to start working on it as soon as they possibly can. i think it's time that, well, i'm the stand, the urgency that there is no time we can lose, can't afford to do maladaptive actions, their response to one crisis and then actually make another member as for example, taking action for climate change, but the using biodiversity. so we need to see this as
1:30 pm
a buffet and then integrate the bay. and we also need to recognize that everybody as a citizen can also contribute. we need to know our desk. we need to reduce our own list by picking out insurance by proofing or how is this by stocking water or food surely called measuring or so. what everyone can do by him or herself is important to really good. get your thoughts and this is it a bit satisfactory? we appreciate it. thank you very much indeed for your time. thank you. still had an order 0. the homes left in ruins. we looked at the growing crisis in democratic republic of congo of people displaced by violence. i can't take it anymore. why some doctors and nurses in the us are quitting their jobs, even as the pandemic rages around them. for the 1st time and a 140 years,
