when of september, the 11th defined the world, they grew up in just a huge moment. these are their stories. 911. witness on al jazeera. oh, you want to help save the world. sneeze into your elbow. in the news, this is al jazeera. ah, oh i'm hasn't think of this is the news i live from coming up in the next 60 minutes. some afghans welcome news of the tyler bonds, new interim government, but others are taking a wait and see approach. us secretary of state antony, blinking,
9:01 pm
express concerns about some members of afghanistan's interim government as he met with german allies. the west african block co suspend guinea following the military coup that ousted president an alpha conduct pose at closing this hour in morocco with the vote to turn out in this year's elections has been low and then for fif upsets. asked to organize the walk up every 2 years. the president of football govern, buddy says almost 90 percent of countries are in favor of the move. ah hello, there's been a cautious reaction to tuesdays announcements by the taliban of a new interim government. some of the officials named are on american and global terrorism watch lists. us sex to say anthony, blinking has been in germany where he's reiterated those concerns. during his visit,
9:02 pm
he held the virtual meeting with more than 20 western nations in an effort to coordinate how they engage with the new government. 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 taliban 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 a launching pad for terrorist attacks and not to carry out reprisal violence against those who choose to stay in afghanistan. ordinary afghans have expend expressing mixed feelings about this. as charlotte bellis reports to cobble for many, it's the basic issues that all the most pressing. i telephone can take you government announced and an amorous resurrected security was increased. the senior leaders
9:03 pm
surveyed cobble new domain outside. what was the u. s embassy? telephone members discussed who's been appointed and to which rogues, the leader. hi bertoli, arkansas. with crowd the amir. a 33 cabinet appointments with her son who is the leadership council received the top job of acting prime minister. sir janine had connie is now the acting interior minister. despite being on the us terra watch list with a $10000000.00 balance on his head. and will your coo, the son of taliban found them? will oma has become acting defense minister serrano watches from a distance. it's his 1st day's taliban flag seller. he doesn't know the leaders, but has heard the names. he had noted the cabinet was all taliban members with nor women. the vote was that the one was a w. hello. joe had said that there are few seats left and they are going to appoint more people and god willing it will be an inclusive government of them promise and inclusive government. but the majority of acting ministers and their
9:04 pm
deputies are pastored, meaning of our communities like this one have no representation. it is lived many in this neighbourhood feeling sidelined this much. i don't know why, but there are new has ours. i didn't see his ours that don't care, but it's not a tool hottest told me about whenever tried people are from each should defend their rights or seats, what designations and rights should be ours, but that's not the point. one guy who is opposed to all people should be equal. women were also left without representation. no one was appointed to the ministry of woman's affairs, yet some woman we spoke with said the priority is survival and security. much it was about my none, but whoever it is, we just want some bread and peace and no robberies. nobody should both my children . that's all i want. but one on the piano told us women need
9:05 pm
a voice and government to protect their rights, especially to employment on our, on our lot, much in on. but them, if they stopped me working, i'm the bread winner of the house. what was i feed my family, the way i have this fear, there are thousands of women like me. lemme people see a lot of things here. the, some, it's the new rulers and becoming invisible. the others, it's going hungry or being caught in an attack. now they are ceasing which is a warranted charlotte bellis. oh to 0. couple or the u. s. secretary said anthony blinking also said to he wants the taliban to allow charter flights to resume out of afghanistan. one house correspondent. kimberly. how could join us now with more on that? so kimberly always, obviously this whole issue of the charter flights and why they're not taking off a big concern there. it's a huge concern and a problem for the,
9:06 pm
by the ministration. you'll remember prior to that august, 31st withdrawal day, the by the ministration said, any america that wants to get out, we'll be able to get out. and we know that was a broken promise given the fact that up to 200 were left behind that well, the state department is now working with the taliban in order to evacuate. the concern for the by the ministration is that the taliban has not kept its word. in other words, promising that those that wanted to leave would be able to. now the same person is working very hard to try and get those remaining on board charter flights. but the problem made allege is, is not the state department, but the pal about itself blocking the flight from taking off from the cobble airport. that's why speaking alongside his counterpart in germany, the secretary of state reiterated his call for the taliban to let americans evacuate. take a listen. as of now, the taliban are not permitting the charter flights to depart. they claim that some
9:07 pm
of the passengers do not have the required documentation. while there are limits to what we can do without personnel on the ground without an airport with normal security procedures in place, we are working to do everything in our power to support those flights and to get them off the ground. now prior to the withdrawal of us troops and august 31st, there were questions raised by law makers and others that the taliban could not be trusted to cooperate. at the time the bike administration assured those that were raising that issue. that what the taliban thought with international legitimacy and as a result, it would be judged by is actions and would likely not do what is he doing right now? and that is blocking both flight from taking off from the airport. so it appears that the by ministration is in a bind, it continues to appeal to the how about but as you pointed out,
9:08 pm
already with respect to the government, it promised to be inclusive and is not. and now the flight not taking off. this is certainly a disappointing for the by did ministration as we try to work with this partners and allies around the world to ensure that those that want to leave afghanistan will still be able to do so. or i, kimberly, thanks to that. kimberly how can live 1st at the white house. now at e t o p, as i'm howard region, there are reports. 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 dan. but last week to grind forces deny the attacks calling it a fabricated allegation. samuel get the true is an independent journalist. he says e p o p s rights human rights commission is investigating the killings. well, we've been speaking to the local administration, including eye witnesses. they're confirming that at least a least 125 people have died. which almost all of them,
9:09 pm
if not all of them are horace. but in the last hours, the t p let's spokesperson, get her to read. 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 alleged at the moment, but the fact is, money must update that. yup. in human rights commission is said to be launching a new investigation. the un is continuing to show disappointment in this ongoing conflicts that has affect the thousands of people. but the children site hasn't responded, they do respond on social media. we've been waiting their response, their reaction since they haven't responded. but again, people are dying, the conflicts begun 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 the conflict of begun within the to grow region is no longer
9:10 pm
within gray. it's going to hard to form horror. this happened in sheena, which is an hour away from the historic to corner. and this goes to show you that the conflict is not just, it'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 are facing so many people. it's up watching its 1st year in november. americans have been voting for new members of parliament and regional councils. their 1st elections on the new rules, making it more difficult for a party to get a majority in the house of representatives and economic crisis and frustration that a lack of reforms have motivated voters. bernard smith, reports from about morocco's prime minister will have a tough job holding on to power in these parliamentary and regional elections. the
9:11 pm
conservative justice and development party has headed the government for 10 years. it came to power promising an enter despotism and corruption for the party. a struggle in a system where the king appoints most of a cabinet direct policy suburban him do. many young people have to vote for the 1st time who wish them long. as for the trunk, but the patient to get involved in politics because it effects everyone's daily life and their children's future and all kinds of services. i don't want them of the constitution was reformed after the 2010 are spring, supposedly to give more power to political parties. but many people are skeptical whether elections make much difference to how the country is governed. aladdin, the p. j id party, has done nothing. they made promises, but when they came to pass, nothing happened. they haven't even given an argument why they haven't on a de promises gentlemen not flesh. he said, i hope this vote god willing will lead to greater care being taken of the young and
9:12 pm
give them a chance to prove themselves in service or work for our beloved country. a new method of allocating seats makes it almost impossible for big parties to gain a majority, while much smaller ones will be represented in parliament for the 1st time. we have more both in his asian, both in the local parliament and with which means that political parties will find it very difficult to build coalitions. and to find consensus when you have a large they are all parties. ladies, for example, a municipality, or a government with 7 or a political party. there are $32.00 parties running in the election. it's hard to pick out any significant policy differences between any of those standards. once the votes are counted, the haggling influence in the coalition will begin and it took 3 to 4 months after the last the elections for a new government to emerge. but whoever ends up leading the parliament here will be
9:13 pm
expected to implement the king's policies. what he called a new generation of reform and project at a new model of develop bonus points. i'll just say for rebecca i, let's bring in jamal shea ela alive now a from robot. so jim out the, the poles of clothes there. what's happening? i've looked like the last 5. be sorry jim, can you, can you hear me? i'm sorry. ok. doesn't. doesn't look like he can hear me there. apologies for that. we will try to fix that and come back to him at some point. let's go to some breaking and use for not of west africa. the regional block echo us has suspended guineas, membership, falling sundays military coup with, with through president alpha con day, it's also demanding the military rulers release con, day from custody. echo us. we'll send a high level delegation to connect 3 on thursday guineas army has released
9:14 pm
political detainees held by the deposed government. and promised to set up a transitional authority on nicholas hawk is watching developments force from dock in neighboring cynical. so nicholas, what are we to make of this development? not entirely unexpected. that's right there. not really a surprise there that they would suspend the country from the west. african body echo was as soon as the crew happened, there was a communication from the chair of the vehicle was led by the president of got a cooper audio saying that, you know, this was an unfortunate and regrettable act. but let's face it, there's been recoup in the last year in west africa. and the echo has done very little to prevent or to be able to suede or to put it any leverage or wait onto those 3 cruise. and the other 2 cruise happened in molly that was the 1st one back
9:15 pm
last september. and again in, in may when the president, the president of transition, the prime minister transition. and molly was arrested here again, it seems that it has very little effect. the issue here is that, unlike the other countries in west africa, guinea is not part of the common coming currency. so expelling it or suspending it from the eco was won't have any effect in terms of the financial transactions that the country may have with neighboring countries. what might be interesting is the closing of borders. but we know that under alpha con, day in the past year, those borders had been closed specially to the border between senegal and guinea, where there's a lot of transaction. senegal is highly dependent on guinea in terms of agriculture, of fruits and vegetables, coming from guinea, export it to senegal. it has border with molly and going to be in the portal with
9:16 pm
that which has been close before because alpha company has had such bad relationships with the neighboring countries. but what's interesting here is the reaction within the country from the military to, into the crew. leaders of the crew plotters that were involved here. the seem to believe that what echo watson doing doesn't really matter. in fact, the echo was, has lost a lot of had ability amongst defenders of democracy. 2 of the presidents are members of echo last year the president, the president of the coast and the president of guinea have tweak the constitution, allowing them to run for a 3rd mandate. and across reaction to those tweaking of constitutions to allow these people to, to run it for further or longer, has been quite muted, much to the disappointment, to civil society actors in the region. so i'd have to a certain extent law, some form of credibility to the larger public. so spending across the prize. and
9:17 pm
i think that within a guinea, the military that we'll, we'll try to reassure the international market, especially the mining industry in which is highly dependent on to get foreign exchange. half of the, the aluminum that imported in china comes from guinea countries like russia that has strong historic ties, but also economic ties in each box. the iron or export as well as the united states, while those those exports will continue despite the suspension from echo i had them . all right, nicholas will leave it there for now. thanks nicholas hock. life was there in duck on neighboring cynical on this new development. that echo us region of nations has suspended guinea as one of its members stake. let's go back to morocco now where people have been voting in elections and hopefully we have dramatic joining us from a robot. so, jamal polls have just closed their, what should we be expecting them?
9:18 pm
what has them? yes says you say about 15 minutes ago, the voting ended here in boston across morocco and what seems to be a very flux election, at least in terms of the number of voters that we've written, this take to the podium stations that we're no longer q is here in the capital city and the numbers that we're trickling through throughout the day, didn't really pick up as many would have expected. there's a number of reasons for that to discuss them. i'm joined with calling list professor adriece from one of the universities here. let's start by asking about the impact of these, of the new electric bill and the impact of corporate on these elections. well, the corporate situation has limited the public meeting. otherwise, they impose the meetings that should not 5 people. in addition to
9:19 pm
that, the most of the b b happened really if there were some within social media, which basically did the large number of nation that area have access to. so what about the next symbol? people say that they were targeting the bigger parties essentially trying to guarantee hung part and therefore maybe even further some and where all the power is, which is the monarchy. well, the election, the new march, 2021 clearly set limits to the possibility of any part to have major position within the parliament. and this is clear the according to some i know that she was meant to target the from this party . but there is also an issue of the tax structure, roxanne's, our b, c,
9:20 pm
d solution we political part because they seem to know that particular power does not reside in the parliament, but rather in the circles of power within executive monarchy. so i think throughout the years more i can have become more aware reality. and honestly, also there is a kind of speaking of help. there is a health issue, really the help of course, you can park the last 2 years. so this is clearly evident in the kind of the be that you find within social media among moroccans who have as i mentioned, basically last real interest in politics. when also from an international perspective course playing a bigger role regionally. with regards to libya, for example, there's the crisis,
9:21 pm
not between julia and morocco sort of ties. morocco was one of the countries, there are countries that decided to normalize with the dye in the state of israel. what do these elections mean for those policies? don't mean very anything honestly, because the real power reside within the executive monarchy and this will not affect these kinds of policies. so the fact that we have whatever political party that we have, he's not going to affect foreign policy because foreign policy is part of the secret. the field of the inner circles of thought were and even the head of the government, what whichever party he comes from is not going to have really much to say as far as major strategy, whether economic or foreign policy issues. so i do not expect any major changes, regardless of who ultimately will win. but for sure,
9:22 pm
this is going to lead to more of a fragmented a political scene, which already was fragmented and more weakness, as far as the particular parties are concerned. professor, thank you very much for your time. has him. so the vote counting begins. now we do expect preliminary results in the next few hours, but one strong view, as we've heard there, which has been echoed by our the analysts and monitors is that there is going to be some sort of stagnation with regards to the parliament at least. and that there isn't expected to be a major winner here. if indeed, there is one. the differences between those parties could be as little as one or 2 seats and what that means in terms of the political future. well, some believe it means that hung parliaments obviously adds to that political technician and maybe less loss of faith in the political process. others will point
9:23 pm
to the fact that it might bring about more stability by freeing up the executive branch of the states. i. e, the king to do as he wishes, regardless of what party is empower, cannot thank you joe manisha live 1st there in, but i bought plenty more ahead don't than use our major criminal trial opens in france. will have the latest on that stories, plus the heart rending scenes outside of prison and indonesia, where a fire has killed more than 40 people and not a bad way to navigate the tide streets. sicily will tell you more about this formula once a month later in school. ah, a palestinian rights groups warning of increased tension in israeli jails is prison services crackdown following an escape. printed prisoners at mccaul,
9:24 pm
prison in southern israel set fire to several cells. it was to protest against the transfer campaign and what's rights groups have called collective punishment. inmates have had the outdoor time reduced laundry access band and meals skipped. comes off, the 6 people escaped from gilbert prison on monday. home elaina on saudi is the international advocacy officer at adama prison support and human rights association . she joins us now from occupied to east jerusalem. thanks so much for being with us. so just talk to us a little bit more about what is the stake here. so after the escape of sixpence include the confusion, there. is there any occupation, as you have initiated, a series of arbitrary punitive and retaliatory measures against policy and political prisoners. and we're talking here about over 4700
9:25 pm
prisoners. and this is human rights organizations, as mentioned and are worried about the collective punishment that those are the occupation is enforcing on prisoners and not only inside your presence but also outside. and they have also initiated arbitrary s of family members of the escape, prisoners and to keep the political prisoners and 2 of their siblings as well. so for has been outside prison were also truly at us. the and the father of one of the palestinian escape. he was also at the but then released. so we're not only talking about arbitrary measures against the palestinian political prisoners themselves. but we're also including the whole of palestine, the area of where all the sticks and escapees and come from. and so the area now is heavily secured and secured,
9:26 pm
there is pre sense of the occupation military forces and the military checkpoint. so the situation is it's tension. and if there is no monitoring of what's that, what's going to happen regarding the escapees and there's, there's going to be more increase in violations of human rights. and when we talk about inside didn't really prison. and is there any occupation uses every excuse going forth against the detainees in order to weigh, maintain control against them. and bearing in mind the escapees, great plan, the locust aria calling it, and we'll take that into the measures again. because you had posting and prisoners as now they completely and distributed. they are planning to distribute each you had the number of prisoners in different prison around the occupied
9:27 pm
territories and, and meaning they, they completely cut off the number as you had in prison in prison. and this is a form of collective punishment that they mention ok. whether it's happening outside prison or and why, why in your view is this happening now? what's, what should be read into the timing of this? i think we should read into everything has been extremely overwhelming on the palestinian people, whether it's in shape or land or in gaza or now inside you've been prison. so i think the internationally community, we should all not look into these individuals act and these individual act as, as special circumstances nor the people are fed up. we have been under oppression and per tied to him that and completely humiliates us and gave us
9:28 pm
without providing any basic human rights. so the people have reached a point where even in prison, why they are in maximum security prison with all the security that that is there any preventive services and talk about the palestinian resistant and needs we're feed them over. it takes good to get your thoughts on this thanks very much for being with us. molina on saudi. how it is a day for which many in france had been waiting nearly 6 years. the trial of 20 men charged over the paris attacks in 2015, 130 people were killed and hundreds injured in the french capital. one of those who appeared in court on tuesday was salon had to sell him his thought to be the only surviving attacker. natasha bala has more on the 1st day of the trial from paris. the trial has actually now being suspended. it is over for the day. it's come to an
9:29 pm
early end for the 1st day because one of the accused fainted and therefore judges decided to terminate patrol today. of course they will review again tomorrow. it is a trial and supposed to go on for 9 months now little bit earlier. we heard from salas this from here, of course, i believe to be the only surviving november 13th tucker in court in a black t showed wearing the black mosque, his hair and beard long. some of the slow was off to confirm his identity by the judge. the judge was off the wall of the accused, the same salon to some of that point said, and i quote him 1st, i want to testify that there is no other gold that our and mohammed is his messenger to which the judge replied, we will talk about that later follow up, the slum was also off to confirm the identity of his parents. he refused to do that,
9:30 pm
went off by the judge, what his profession was on. the slum said that he had given up his career to become a fighter for the islamic state. fil a head on it, and now the big coin is an official currency in el salvador. we look at the controversy around it. plus i'm our fisher in richmond, virginia. we're after a long legal battle, a controversial symbol of white supremacy has finally been removed from what was the capital of the confederacy. and in support, some english premier lee clubs are set for a major blow ahead of this week's this weekend's matches. ah. hello, the weather sloppy, set fair across the middle east. at the moment last the blue sky, lots of sunshine,
9:31 pm
