a woman's health and human rights campaigners, mexico supreme court rules that penalizing abortion he's unconstitutional. uninstalled faith, there is nothing. it's effort to organize the world. every 3 years, being president of football, governing body says, almost 90 percent of countries are in favor of the change. ah, there's been a mixed reaction from all the powers, the makeup of janice tons, new interim government, the taliban, john from its old guard to fill the top posts. the us says it's got concerns about the affiliations and track record. and so some members of the cabinet, some senior figures on us and global terrorism watch lists, european union and iran the say the government is not inclusive. china also sounded similar warnings,

but says it will recognize the new leadership. while the group promised an inclusive government representing all afghans but no share our previous administration, officials have been chosen to take part. i think prime minister mohammed her son and is a taliban founding member. he served as foreign minister and a deputy prime minister during the groups last since in power from 996 to 2001. the taliban co founder, popularly known as miller. bottom dollar has been named as the deputy prime minister. he had the groups political office in doha, and he's being the taliban. the most visible face in recent years. acting defense minister is more vain. mohammed jakob the eldest son of taliban find mohammed molar omar. he's a military commander, and he's rarely been seen in the public high movies saturday, and connie will become interior minister. he's head of the hall county network, which has been blamed for some of our stands most violent attacks in recent years.

the role of foreign minister will be followed by movie on your hand. ma talkie, that part in negotiations with the us. well, let speak to char stratford live for us. a couple. charles, how are off guns reacting to this new policy? would be we've been speaking to people on the streets of cobble and direction has actually been quite surprising the vast majority of people no matter whether they be opposed to the taliban or not, or expressing a great sense of relief to finally this into him. talking about government has been announced, no matter the makeup of it. as we say, we've been describing these figures as members of the old guard, a number of whom are on you and blacklists, at least one that is accused of being a member of a terrorist network. people are saying that they can now get the opportunity finally to try and start rebuilding their lives. they was saying that the most important thing for them was security. bear in mind obviously that they have

suffered for decades of war and conflict and being able to change rates to be able to work again. if they can indeed get the jobs to get food on the table for their families. interested. we spoke to a number of women as well as we know that we know female figures given portfolios. busy in this into administration, that's cause consternation both here and i've got to stand and among many countries in the international community. well, the women that we spoke to here, many of them were the sole breadwinners in their families. and they was saying that it is vital that either in this interim government was more ministries are announced. so we were told last night by the out of an oil in a future government. it is vital that they have their voices heard. and the best way to articulate these voices would be through women parliamentary as a women political representatives, of course, on a humanity or in level. the situation remains very grave because in the eyes of the

international community, that's all about have to prove that they are going to stick to their commitments and promises on human rights all seemingly those billions of dollars of funds and assets frozen in us banks. and by, for example, the world bank will remain frozen the un describes as displace. i've got it. as being on the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe. almost half the population relying on humanitarian aid . re day. we know the eighty's coming in, but it is still at a trickle. it is vital that the airport gets up and running on a on a more efficient and more our basis. we know that the countries and the church would be busy helping doing that. but yeah, as i say, it's also important to recognize as well that the taliban have a lot of support, especially in the south of the country in helmand and can kinda haul for example, their heart landed. and we saw when the time about reach control of cobble big

celebrations in the south. so we can only presume that there is great support for this into river administration in the south. there's a great sense of calm so far in the streets of the capital. of course the security risk does still exist. we know about the threats that the taliban are facing as well. but by and large, a sense of relief here and it's gone on this afternoon. thanks very much indeed. that chance try for talking to us from couple. i want to bring in the full i look, he's a researcher and political analyst is joining us live from cub. oh, good to have you with us on here. a great deal of attention being placed by the international community, particularly on the inclusiveness of the taliban government, would have actually made any sort of difference if the new government had been inclusive. well now the taliban are speaking from the position of and in this was expected, the thing that the

a for you and we're to the power and it is now them to call the fox. and they have called the chart by announcing a new government, which is called the interim last night. so d impulsivity, they say that into c d, u has almost become their big us to the point of clichy loss or could be here in a lot of fun. what if you see both the, the of the terms of the present, the former president because i, the, or inclusive but inclusive and most of them are the waters in which actually created a lot of internal divisions and fracture of in the african polity. and indian, if you see the doctor was offered a gunny, there were also an inclusive but created a lot of problems. i think taliban think that they can hear this can be together. they can even dismantle the islands of power that have been created in the last

year. so now they are in a position that include cvd will not matter a lot to him. what is important, i think for then is to this country from united, from united front, they're called himself. and so i don't think even if you see the reaction of the us, the, the, the, the turkey last night direction was not that much of a strong reaction. to the, to the kind of the government they have announced in their strategic and i think come into them to, to, to, to keep a room because they have a room full or for any change if they, if they feed and push upon the, from the international community so all you know, and i think the international community should also force some pragmatism. and now the recognize the government and work with just goldman, because if the goldman goes by a solution, i think the that would be

a counter productive act on the side of the financial community. because of this will be given the title on the excuse for the failure there may be facing and delivering the info services to the people. one is an hour at night. it, i think would more decided to come to an argument, industry, industrial, big organize. and therefore, be given the chance to, to, to run the country and see what happened on the point of delivering essential services to the afghans that requires cash. and cash is not something to african i've got to stand has a loss of and indeed the taliban is very restrictive in terms of a lot of the cash that it might have been able to get access to on one of the considerations from foreign governments. but on the 8 organizations, but also i believe from the world bank is that the government has to be seen to represent all of us can stand and only at that point will they allow cash to come

into the country. so it's one thing to say that the taliban may not be that interested in being inclusive, but it is rather key to getting hold of that money. do you think that that in that kind of leverage that financial leverage is actually going to force the taliban? perhaps against its wishes to be more open to be more inclusive in order to be able to get access to that money well yesterday valuable stops for some of the language i had, i think made it very clear that they are not open for dictations from the foreign countries, and now it is entirely a per diem to be fide, the nature in form of the goldman fighting. that leaves no room for them one for some countries to, to get to the taliban. but on the, on the commitment in promises that they have better the international community. i think they have addressed the issue of c t by appointing one of the 2 of the,

the appointees from other cities. but what that will suffice? i don't think so. and we will see the reaction or vote for them for the, for the kind of the government in the future. i'll for of the financial constraints that the taliban are not is concerned. i think it is the biggest challenge for them . and they have to make it clear that the central bank on why it's on should be functioning properly in dominica by non should be functioning properly in order for them to be able to to, to get the one $1000000000.00 frozen by the use. and then also to attract the financial support from the one that agencies and from other international financial institutions. so it is a big challenge for him. but that needs a lot of the dictation on the part of the valuable and they have to for it. but look, we appreciate your time. so thank you very much. indeed. my little dentist in my

head on the news are including we're going to live in richmond in the us state of virginia or a stature that long been controversial is finally taken down the u. k. is selling its largest warships through the south china fee as a seniors bucks and it's smart for them to dispute waters for the 1st time and a 140 years. a canadian man has reached the semi finals of the us open more and not later in sports. ah, motors in morocco or choosing new members of parliament and regional councils. action comes during an economic crisis deepened by the pandemic and frustration over the lack of political reform promised a decade ago. about 18000000 people expected to vote. the election is the 3rd since and the constitution was introduced in 2011. but let's bring in smaller lives from

or about july they find a sound a correctly it is the k, a morocco who actually controls a significant amount of power. so how significant in that context are these elections? well, they are pretty significant. robin not as you mentioned, since the new constitution came about roughly over 10 years ago. the idea was true or not, of the opposition or frustration that many people in morocco fell to the time that was that tired of reform that was sweeping our wall. the r uprisings, and the idea was to maybe dissolve or to delegate some of the monarch's powers to parliament in order to give greater representation. but as time has gone by, what we've seen is that maybe there been, according to some people regression with regards to that new electoral law. this is the 1st time that it's going to be implemented, which the current ruling freedom and development parties say, is targeted against them before we go over to hear from what their needs are said

in an interview with autism. just hours before polls opening just a few of the facts that have come here in the past couple of hours because of the economic crisis because of the current pandemic, there is a very low turn out so far. the nature statistics probably is the only around 12 percent of people are voted. there isn't expectancy that this will increase once people finish work. there is a general feeling that there is distrust between the voters and the people. we put one of those concerns to the prime minister. let's hear what he had to say. we're here at the ruling justice and development parties. headquarters with the prime minister started off monday. thank you very much for your time. let me start by asking you about your predictions for these elections and your thoughts about the new election law. yes, horrible. and it's difficult to give a decisive prediction. however, we can say there are full parties that are contesting for parliamentary majority

and we are one of them as to the election laws and reforms they us squarely in favor the other party has. in fact, the aim of those who introduced the law was to reduce the justice in developments parties share of the vote. this isn't the conspiracy theory. they clearly stated that this was their intention. these parties failed in competing with history can gauge with the people. and that's why they united to introduce a law that doesn't take into consideration the popular vote, but instead divide seats in an unfair way. his bladder, you know, these elections come off the back of significant regional international developments. adria severin gets diplomatic ties with morocco and about the position which you've probably seen in desperation, or these issues a priority for your party if you, when the elections will enter the form. and whilst there is a foreign minister, morocco's foreign policy is decided by his highness, the king, the government assists in implementing these policies. however, sovereigns, strategic decisions are taken by the state, not the cabinet. we are committed to have good relations with different countries.

and today morocco plays a very important role regionally, as it is a growing power. this causes issues with some countries that we will continue to pursue a com, diplomacy of being decisive and unwavering when it comes to the key issue for morocco, which is moroccan sovereignty over all of the sahara. we also caught up with the head of the authenticity and maternity party a, but it's a call forth that's been growing over the years here in morocco that was established, roughly about to just over a 1011 years ago, were here at their headquarters in the capital robot with their head of the party. thank you very much for joining us. we'll try your predictions for wednesdays. we'll talk about one of these results will be extremely close. i believe they won't be more than 2 or 3 seats separating the winner from 2nd place. many analysts believe that voters have lost faith in the political process. there's

a lack of excitement in the street. what are your views on that? it's not about loss of sight. these elections are taking place during unique times . it's a global pandemic. so we haven't been able to organize large rallies like we used to, but in our direct meetings with people with been able to connect with them and the process will be a smooth one. with regards to foreign policy, what do you believe the main priorities will be for the next government? come out, how they couldn't go into a relationship with the gulf as a priority. our relationship with europe requires re assessment. we might strengthen our relationship with the gulf even more, and allow for greater investment from the gcc. we should be more open to them than the years. because europe now struggling to deal with coven, and has and capable of playing the role that used to before. now there have been reports of some election regularities taking periods from the past few hours, particularly coming from the ruling justice and development party who claimed that

some of their officials and officers have been attacked by what they described as flags that are linked with their main content there is a new issue is from the national liberation rally or national, ready for liberation. obviously, you know, the nice these claims of irregularities aren't necessarily something that's new and regards to elections here. but for sure, because this is such a tightly contested race, they are going to be the ones to watch for, as these results come in, which we will be monitor. and obviously throughout the day, back to europe, jamal, thanks very much. and he doesn't jamal l. sheil bring us up to date from of about to go to be stepped up and the firms capital as a trial begins for 20 men charged over the facts there. really, 6 years ago, 130 people were killed and hundreds were injured in the violence in paris. one of the accused of this lamb is believed to be the only surviving attacker. let's go to natasha butler,

who is live for us in paris. so the trial is under way upon that we've had some the main suspects. what does he be saying? yes, of course. we're just the procedural stage in this trial bottle fell out. the slum is in court. he is wearing a black t shirts. he's had is long, he's wearing a black mosque and he's sitting with 40 other co accused. 6 people are actually being tried and it's frontier in this child's just worth nursing that now the judge actually started to talk to the accused. he said that he was going to start asking him to identify themselves, and at that point, fell out the slum interjected, saying, and i quote him 1st, i want to testify that there is no other goal than our and but how much is his messenger? the judge then abruptly replied, we will talk about that later. so i was then off to confirm the identity of these

period parents. he declined to do so. when all asked what is profession was all up . the slum said that he had given up his career to become a fighter for i thought one would imagine that given the fact that it's taken 6 years for this trial to come to pass the situation for the survivors of the 2015 attacks. and also the families of victims must be very difficult. what does the child mean for them? was trial it should you for last 9 months and for the survivors, the relatives of the victims, you can only imagine that it is going to be a very emotional and very hiring time they are going to have to relieve those terrible events of 6 years ago. some of them, of course, will be testifying in court. many of those have chosen to stay away from the trial because as one, the victims lawyer told me is simply going to be too difficult for them to be here . they don't want to see the accused. they don't want so painful memories to be

revived. there's also the issue, the salanza flop. who is the main suspect in this trial has until now came to silence when it comes to the offense that night, refusing to cooperate with belief. so for some of those in this trial who passed, hoping to hear what he might say, perhaps more information, something that will help them understand what happened that night. well, they could be disappointed. we weren't known for several months. so because up to some is not expected to take the stand if you choose to do so for quite a while yet it's worth nathan as well that this trial is happening in the center of paris. this is a 50 where those attacks could took place. it was a warm november night, most of the victims were young. most just gone out to have a nice evening with friends and even that basically turned into a complete nightmare. let's take a look back at the back to call concert hall in paris. some

people managed to escape through the side door inside. gunman was shooting at the crowd. the earlier the attackers had run paged across the city, getting people in several locations. by the end of the evening, a 130 people dead in attack, claimed by the french president declared a state of emergency from there was shock degrees. nearly 6 he is on thomas. met, remembers how an evening of enjoying life music at the battle rapidly turned into a nightmare. the crew, all of a sudden, people fell to the floor. i turned around and saw 2 people on the crashing cars shooting everything that moved across the floor. everyone was tried to call. it was a mess. the lights went out, we had more shouting. someone shouted, they're loading yet 3 seconds and that just ran. most of the attackers blew themselves up, was shot dead by police on the night. 3 days later, police killed a man suspected to be the mastermind of the attacks in

a paris suburb. but it was 4 months before the man alleged to be the only surviving attacker was erected sala, up to slum, had been in hiding in belgium, sala. the slum is one of 20 accused in paris attacks trial. 6 will be tried in of santia proceedings will take place here in paris says high court in a specially built courtroom. hundreds of witnesses are expected to testify among them survivors. this lawyer says that for the victim, it's been a long wait for justice to be honest and under my own experience for victims, they can not put all these behind. it is very difficult, but it can helps them to go ahead and to know that ok, even after 6 long is there is a try. and this target is important. thomas says he's anxious about the trial, but hope that his testimony will help. others shows up off if that's the only thing

i can do perhaps is to help others say like i do, i can be ok. and that motivates me to testify. the the trial is scheduled to last 9 months. it may shed more light on what happened that night. how the attacks were planned and whether they could have been prevented. years on harris's face and balls are busy, but reminders and memories of that night on never very far away. natasha butler, al jazeera paris top tongue bronze statue. the center of racial justice protests in the us has just been removed. the statue of robert e. lee, a general, the confederate army during the civil war, was taken down from its pedestal in the city of richmond. its removal was at the center of a legal vinyl in the states supreme court. the islands fisher, who's live for us in richmond in virginia island. this is more than just being at the center of a legal of angle. just talk us through what led up to this while

the code that gathered here to see the removal is that you started to filter away the fact she's been on the plan for 131 years, but the removal just less than an hour. you can see, no, the planes is vacated and don't to the left. there is the statue of robert e lee himself. it was the biggest monument to the confederate army. here in richmond, richmond in virginia. of course. what's the capital for the confederacy? the insurrection against the idea that the united states would ban slavery. and robert e lee was the lead general, and he stood there for 131 years. now the call. what is removal have lasted for almost as long as he's been on the plan. but the certainly magnified over the last year after the death of george floyd, i'm the protest that spot nationwide. the governor decided that he wanted that stat to others like it on this avenue removed, but there was a court case. people saying this was an important part of history and it should

remain there. the court eventually said no, it can go. and so the decision was made that the other statues would be removed, but the final one, the biggest one, it weighs 10000 kilograms at 6 stories high. and it is the general robert e lee, that it was time for it to go. so as people saying, not, not have good bye as it was lifted off of the plan. it is now resting beside the place. what it is good for the last 151 years, and they will move it into storage before the decision on its final position. will be decided, but it's unlikely to be anywhere in public, perhaps, maybe a park, a historical park, or perhaps as a museum exhibition that's for the plan itself. while the decision about what happens to it is still to come. but people we've been speaking to around here, one of the names on these monuments removed. they don't want to raise history, but they don't want people to celebrate what people like robert

e lee stood for which you remember was white supremacy warning people of color. i didn't shooting that, that continued. he fought a war to try and make sure that that would happen. a war that the last, i know after 171 years, his statue finally moved from the place that was his capital. calling fisher in richmond, virginia. i don't think the chinese military side is expelled. a u. s. guided missile the story that sailed close to islands claimed by beijing in the south china sea. it comes as a u. k. naval fleet to docs in japan and it's 2 of the indo pacific london says it's focusing on the regional mit increased chinese activity in disputed waters. katrina, you has more from beijing, japan's defense minister, no boar t. she was given a tour of the u. k. largest and most powerful worship the hatred miss queen elizabeth as adopt near took care of the ship, leads to destroy his que forgets
