8:06 pm
each other's countries, respective contributions regarding the evacuation from afghanistan, very clear warm words about the way that germany has allowed so many evacuees to be brought from afghanistan to the ramstein bass pending the further travel to their final destinations. but they were also hard words for the taliban from both ministers. specifically from secretary of state lincoln. when it came to what sort of recognition the world can give to the taliban government, the caretaker governments recently announced the taliban seek international legitimacy and support any legitimacy any support will have to be earned. and we heard that across the board from everyone participating in today's session. we also discussed how we will hold the tower down to their commitments and obligations to let people travel freely to respect their basic rights, including women and minorities. to ensure that can stand is not used as
8:07 pm
a launching pad for terrorist attacks and not to carry out reprisal violence against those who choose to stay in afghanistan. close sentiments very much shared by foreign minister mars the approach of the german government. in so far as this new can take, your administration in kabul is concerned very much for scribe behind that of the binds administration. but it is worth making the point that there is a view in germany, certainly among the senior political circles, not just in the social democrats, of which, like a massive pop, but also from the christian democrats. angler macros party about the way that the united states administration's post under president trump and latterly under president biden have gone back there africanist on withdrawal policy. many people here are unhappy about the way that that was, was brought about. and this very much a sense here in berlin, that whatever form of recognition, if ever there is a form of recognition of anything in cobble from the taliban has to be consensual
8:08 pm
across the international community. germany's far mr. also warned of a looming humanitarian crisis in afghanistan. and alex and steve, i know she is right in front of our eyes. the severe humanitarian crisis is emerging. we need to prevent that from happening. and this is why we need to provide humanitarian assistance quickly to the people on the ground, but especially through the united nations. and this is not only a moral obligation, it is also a question of regional stability. we expect from the taliban that they will allow access to that. the reopening of capital airport is planned and it would be a very important step. we hope that we will succeed very soon in reopening the airport. and i think every once that's made a contribution to that, with a breaking news from the ethiopian, i'm hotter region where reports say t gray rebels have killed at least 125 people. the killings are said to have happened over 2 days in a village near the town of last week to ground forces deny the attacks, calling it
8:09 pm
a fabricated, fabricated allegation. some new get the true is independent journalist. he's joining us via skype now from adis ab, thanks for being with us. so let me ask you, 1st of all, what is your reading of this development where we've been speaking to the local administration, including eye witnesses there, confirming that at least at least 125 people have died. which almost all of them, if not all of them are us. but in the last hours the t p left spokesperson, right, does come out to say that they're calling for some kind of independence investigation. and they're denying that they're just really committed what's being unleashed at the moment. so i just talked to clarify for us, just explained to us who are the t p a t p l f t p r, a former,
8:10 pm
the rule, the ethiopian in the coalition, which was dominated by their forces. but they were there term ended in 2018 when the prime minister was selected to need some kind of change the revolution that came from the earth. and they've been since they've been designated as a terrorist group from the suburbs. and those are who they are. i mean, melissa, now he was the head of the prime minister, was the head of the government in the field, and they've been with the children government since. so how is the current ethiopian government likely to react to this them? well, if you open human rights commission is said to be launching a new investigation the u. n. is continuing to show this appointment and this ongoing conflicts updates at thousands of people, but the job site hasn't responded. they do respond on social. ringback media, we've been waiting their response,
8:11 pm
their reaction since they haven't responded. but again, people are dying. the conflict that be gotten in november continues so many people, thousands of people that have died since. and this is the latest tragedy that has been the result of it. and this latest development where, where does it fit into the larger picture of what's been happening in the t gray region and beyond in ethiopia, the conflict begun within that to grow region is no longer within gray. it's going to hard to form, hara this happened in china, which is an hour away from going to the historic city of go under. and this goes to show you that the conflict is not just that's not ending or slowing down. it's going to continue to affect to billions and it's everyday people are being affected . but again, this concrete has been ongoing since november 8th. and so many people are watching
8:12 pm
its 1st year in november. good to talk to samuel, get to, to join the staff from out of a thank you. thank people in morocco are voting for new members of parliament and regional councils. the election comes during an economic crisis deepened by the pandemic and frustration over a lack of political reform promised a decade ago. about 18000000 people are expected to vote. the election is the 3rd since the new constitution is introduced in 2011. let's bring in jim elisha live 1st now from rebecca. so jim, how have things been help unfolding so far? the very slow indeed. how's them the number of voters that we've been seeing here. one of the major organizations in the capital have been very small to say the least . not being said the according to official. they claim that as of 5 p. m. local
8:13 pm
times, roughly an hour ago, 35 percent of those $18000000.00 people who are eligible to vote have voltage, however many will be costing doubt on that figure. because like i say, the polling stations that we've been asked to, or spoken to people with monitoring, have supported similarly, small scale numbers. and a reason for that is the campaigning prior to elections was limited because of the lack of ability to have large gatherings joined by a campaign and experts offered in my money. i want to stop by asking you about the challenges that many of these political parties have faced because of the inability to gather in large crowds. how did they get around much show before you know that it's the term elections for the new constitution? it was like a very specific conditions are typical situation because of the pandemic. so today the, the political parties were forced to you and you had a new, china's
8:14 pm
a new and it was, they was like, forced to use a new kind of digital strategies. we're talking about, for example, promoting the programs and the content and many social networks. websites like facebook and instagram they, they try to use some new technologies using social networks, for example, for like, for the social listening technologies to, to check what to what is that what he's talking about and what ask you on that. because we've seen in other countries that foreign powers have used the c. so social networks, the digital platforms, to influence collections from the u. s. to even neighboring tennessee, or is this something that people are worried about here that maybe that would have happened in terms of projecting starting messages or in influencing the selections? well, it's normal. think i think because the situation may dot in this election,
8:15 pm
the political parties use this kind of message to, to, to deliver, to the people here in morocco and tim, but we're talking about more than 26, millions of broken who have seen, at least once the ad for the advertisement in internet doing huge influence and also a very big budget which was invested in this kind of company. and finally, do you think that this new approach that they've used to try and connect with the voter? has it paid off? because when we're looking at it, at least in terms of where we are, it doesn't seem that they are being connected, or were they able to connect? and people just lost faith in the whole system because of the lack of reforms. i don't think so it's we're talking about 5, we're talking about more than 36 percent of the of the participation the way it's which is very important in this fun demik situation. i think we're really the
8:16 pm
promotion companies that have been lunch like they try to, to, to enhance people to, to go to the centers and i think it works. so i think the less of the day we're going to find like between 40 and 50 percent of the participation rates. so the challenge have been done successfully. thank you very much. so i didn't my money there is still just around an hour. we're just under an hour to go, can you go repetition, or how it is very fiercely contested election? let jamal jamal say, i live 1st there in a cell ahead on. i just, you know, the heart rending scenes outside of prison and indonesia where a fire has killed more than 40 people. and now the big coin is an official currency . and salvador, we look at the controversy around it. ah,

a legal fight in the states supreme court. alan fisher has more from richmond virginia, this monument avenue. this is where there was a line of confederate statutes, but this was the tallest and the most symbolic. because general lee led the confederate army and remember, they were fighting to preserve slavery in the united states. it was seen as a symbol of white supremacy. and now you can see he's been removed from his plan right to the heart of monument avenue, here in richmond, which remains a capital, the capital of virginia, not the capital of any room state. and down to its left, you can see the statue itself. it didn't take long to take it off the points. in fact, it was just over an hour from putting on the straps to pulling it off the plan, the youth timers and saw to cut it free and to the chance of nana he good bye. it was pulled down onto the ground. it's one of $160.00 statues that have been removed
