4:30 pm
this mixed reviews because in some senses the taliban have done a good job and security. a lot of people say to the cabinet, was it? you know what? i'm happy that the tell about their power because it's much more secure than it was right. my house is getting twice a month. now there's no save people, happy about security, but there are others very concerned about representation. let's talk to people who are shia. majority group here, who said we don't have representation. but in the accent cabinet of women saying, we don't have active representation either. i'd be concerned about what that means for their rights. and if they will still be looked off to a new governments. and then of course, we've had the firm to what has ended badly and many cases with journalists and purchase open i big to pay. it's a mix review. i mean, they're not as conservative, at least in capital,
4:31 pm
and restrictive and cobbled as they were in the ninety's. right. but it's, it's certainly not the government that we're capable to just joining us on al jazeera. it's now $1330.00 g m t and we are about to witness the 1st national commercial flight taking off from campbell airport since the taliban to control of gannon found. this 5 arrived earlier today, but i always triple. boeing, triple 7, arriving earlier today in cobble. it's a 1st commercial international friday. evacuations were completed 10 days ago. i made very chaotic scenes as you will recall. the plane landed earlier carrying aid and is now leaving with passengers on board passengers who are going to be headed to doha. and later on, dispatched to a several countries it, there's a lot of work that has gone into making airport operational once again after the
4:32 pm
damage is sustained during those evacuations. contrary technical teams, as well as turkish technical teams, have worked hard in the last 10 days to restore the fact port reestablishing communications lines. the radar system as well as chart was telling us one way which is badly damaged. they've said that 90 percent of the airport is not operational. and we can see now this 1st commercial plane toxeme off the runway, they're about to take off for a doe hi charlotte says we've been saying a very significant moment. an important moment after the chaotic scene that we saw at the same airport a few weeks ago. it's hard to believe having, having watched events unfolded here over the last month. now that we went from having a functioning airport with commercial flight to president connie laying on august
4:33 pm
the 15th and then panic and sewing, and people flooding onto this very rough way with heretic scenes for people trying to clamor on to planes. commercial flights, as well as when the us military started doing evacuation flights, trying to grip on to the plains and try to get out of here. and there were thousands of people on this on this from waste time. we've been running off to see 7 pains is they took off down the tall mac, and then in the weeks that followed, we saw those evacuation flights take off and the thousands of people that surrounded this perimeter, hoping for a chance to get out pleading the case that they were us allies, that they were interpreted that they held the right visa, some getting through. there's not talking more than $100.00. 20000 people evacuated on those flight. apologies. we've lost some connection to charlotte valley. there we were talking of course about this 1st international commercial flight taking off from campbell since the taliban took charge of i'm going to sign
4:34 pm
a shot. it was saying they're so very different scenes from what we saw at this same airport a few weeks ago when there was chaos. people running after american crafts that were taking off from campbell trying to be on those planes were passengers. and now on this commercial flight, we saw many families, a shot it was saying are so women and children of various nationalities, some italians. charlotte was saying also some afghans who are leaving and coming 1st to doha. and then there later on be going to other destination whether in north america or else way in europe, it's unclear. and this is happening after the airport was basically restored. i mean, because it was badly damaged, falling to evacuation south of americans, among others. the runway was damaged, communications lines were damaged and the taliban in fact accused the american
4:35 pm
forces being responsible for the damage, shut the airport cobbler for sustained. the plane is about i think it's faxing off now and it is about to take off charlotte. we lost you there for a brief moment. tell us a bit more about the people who are on board. they say a crowd. we saw a lot of families, of course, women and children. you spoke to them. how are they feeling as they leave cobbled today? you just can't just stand but but folly. i did hear you say who are on the plains and yeah, mostly families, small children, wives, husbands, some people. i mean most of them that we spoke with had foreign passports. we spoke with someone who worked in italy, they lived in rome, they said that lived for a long time, and they just come here to see the parents and they got caught up in this and hadn't been able to get out again. another person from canada who came here to see
4:36 pm
her mother and siblings and then had got stuck also to being here for a number of months. and she was actually very emotional. trying to say it's really hard decision to leave because i don't want to leave my family behind. but there's a flight. i have a canadian passport and i'm going to get on it. and she actually said to us, you know, i, i had wanted to get out prior, and i'd come down to the airport, but it was so chaotic and so dangerous. and of course it was that i saw bombing that killed a huge amount of people. and so she said i, i stayed clear and just waited for a commercial flight and, and hoped that one will comes sooner rather than later. and then she was boring. this one today, taking the opportunity, saying, i feel much safer. coming through the international terminal, going through the procedures as i would then clamoring at the gate like would have happens a few weeks ago. yeah, there was that i for bombing at the airports as well. i mean, we, we can forget about that. not just the chaotic evacuations, but the bombing also what, what sort of damage should the air for sustain after that bombing when they
4:37 pm
happened at abbey gate, which was the escape of the poor at the end of the runway this way. but it was for the most part, outside of the wrong way, i don't believe it did much damage to the airport structure or the runway itself. i'm just going to move out of the shot because the plane is about to come down the wrong way and take off in front of you. but yeah, it didn't do too much damage other than of course, the huge loss of life and foreign personnel kills and also ask and some so and people just when it was really devastating because so many of those people would come with such high hopes. and then, of course, and such a staging attack now coming down the runway will be able to take off very shortly. it's going to be what if we our flight from couple to 3 hours flight and then they will go through the terminal and then on to the various
4:38 pm
countries. they have a commercial flight to take off from cobble onto a telecon late government significant moment in the history of a gun. it's on the new history. this new chapter in the history of a gun is done under taliban ball. the 1st commercial plane, taking off from campbell since they took charge of afghanistan, a cut i always going triple 7 headed to doha, with passengers on board last the families leaving, i've got to stand at a very big contrast from the chaotic scenes that we saw a batch female for just a few weeks ago, not just the evacuation of course, but also the bombing charlotte was saying the bombing at cobbled airport which
4:39 pm
kills so many people. so some very desperate scenes at this airport. and today some for incense of normalcy, i guess returning to the airport after all the chaos hit witness in the last few weeks and perhaps no more sealed to charlotte. now returning to i've got to stand under the taliban. we're just going to pen for, you know, see the play, the spelling, triple 7, circling over, cobble as the sun. and that is not going to do the 1st. this is not going to be another one. later on. i understand another commercial airline. when we've been told that another cut away fly will be coming in tomorrow to take more passengers, more people who have passports and baez's and we'll be moving through the international departures terminal just like happened today. so this is expected to
4:40 pm
be the beginning of many commercial flights to come and go from carville, and i think for a lot of ask in a lot of ask, and i mean, talking to people inside. they said we are relieved. and i think, i think for a lot of people with it is there is some relief that they have now an option that's not trying to get through some land border that they can, they will not be able to take going forward. i mean, there is obviously the restriction that they need passports and, and travel documents just like you would if you're into any commercial take, get on any commercial flight around the world. traditionally, sir, for interpreters and another it's i v, applicants who don't have travel document to the big question of what happens with them. because this really obviously isn't available to them at this time because the condition is unique, legitimate travel documents, and to get those interpreters and the applicants and, and others who believe that they will come to us allies and should be getting
4:41 pm
asylum and be evacuation by the americans or others, it's hard for them to get those documents because for example, the u. s. has ended up canceling activities in afghanistan, they don't have any. or how do they get those people, those those travel documents is still a big question. charlotte, thank you very much. for that, charlotte valleys reporting live from campbell airport as the 1st commercial international flight takes off from me because i add ports for the 1st time since evacuations were completed about fame, airport 10 days ago. charlotte bell is thank you very much. the me i turn our attention to other world news and a few crisis in lebanon has worse, and in a matter of weeks, severe shortages and high petrol prices have increased transport costs. it's affecting people's earnings and some a strong being to get to work for high rod report. somebody wrote after keeping up
4:42 pm
for hours and he said is fine. he gets a little more petrol in his taxi supplies are being rationed as lead. non doesn't have enough fuel. when the central bank partially lifted subsidies last month, prices jumped by 70 percent at the same time running and maintaining a vehicle during lebanon's worst economic crisis has gone up. i have been driving all morning and there are no passengers. it has become too expensive for them, petrol is costing me half of what i own. i can't afford to support my family any more. people are crying. they're feeling humiliated. no one cares about us. this is what decades is systematic. corruption looks like black markets and hoarding of basic commodities, including fuel, have contributed to hyperinflation. that's pushing people further into poverty view and warns it could get worse. phase of the things i was saying across the country every single day. fuel is expensive and is
4:43 pm
a made sure to make a basic living and for those that trying to get to go about their business, they're running a living room is bankrupt and with a local currency losing most of its value to the us dollar passengers to say struggling with public transport almost non existent, people rely mostly on calls will private services. but tax season buses have either stopped working or have increased their he wanted to us dollars. that's too much for me. it's very shorter. i'm not too expensive. i'm finding it hard to get to where the other location to fill the void. these young entrepreneurs from bay route took matters into their own hands, providing an affordable, tentative bus service. and just go to work, go to school, go to you need. on the buses we offer why fi on a climate controlled environment?
4:44 pm
it's a comfortable environment. people can just pick about can traffic and do their stuff on the commute. and if people do so, then maybe there won't be any traffic anymore. so to meet demand, they have increase their fleets of buses with additional routes being considered with the crisis. it's harder for people to get gas, it's harder for people to go around. so i think it would be easier this way. you know, you, you'd have a reliable way of actually moving from one to another. the transport disruption is also impacting the supply of basic goods, like food, water, and medication. and with fuel now costing nearly half the minimum wage people in lebanon are finding themselves having to make tough life choices. so to hide it, al jazeera beta results from morocco's parliamentary election point 2 big gains for liberal opposition parties. it marks a crushing defeat for the governing justice and development party is leader and prime minister side
4:45 pm
a dean and money was among those who lost their seats. turn out is said to have been around 50 percent during a time of economic crisis. made wars find the corona virus pandemic. with 96 percent of the votes counted the opposition. national radi of independence aligned to the monarchy, has around a quarter of all seats with $97.00 stress behind it is the authenticity. and were there any party? another opposition go with 80 to cease, and the ruling justice and development party has just 12 seats down from 125. let's speak to jamal was child in morocco, capital robot for is the crushing defeat. for the justice and development party, which i found is made allegations of irregularities in the election. tell us about the reactions well, for the yes, as you mentioned, that they have filed several cases in different districts and cities across the country where they said that supports us all for the victory v. it's inactions, we're handling out large sums of money for people to vote for the national value of
4:46 pm
independence. they, they know some of their candidates were also intimidated even some of their offices in fact. but really, it is by the, by, in the sense that the results of the elections were so resounding, of a defeat for the representative for the people, for the justice and development party that it really doesn't matter what people are talking about here is, is the shift in the vote, a vote of confidence for the head of the national value of the independence. they've been in our business men here or resists. in fact, a protest vote against the somebody roots at party, the justice i'm development one, it seemed it's more of the lot. so they had the bigger share in parliament over the past 10 years and failed to deliver on many of their promises. they had positioned themselves as a, not necessarily a counter voice to the monarchy,
4:47 pm
but at least something that would provide an alternative to what's americans had been accustomed to for decades prior to that. but in reality, it through their governance or the limits of governance. they had, they ended up pursuing all these similar policies that were coming from the palace . ironically, it doesn't seem that the you vectors of these elections will do anything different because they are also seen to be very close to the palace. that being said, the former leader of the justice and environment party, but was a very popular public here in morocco and was ultimately removed from the position of prime minister by the king has come up and demanded that the current party leader resigns. now what we're waiting for to move forward and looking forward funny is to see how this new government will look like. because none of the parties managed to get a single majority for them to be able to rule on their own. that has to be some
4:48 pm
sorts of coalition, the $390.00 seats in the parliament. none of them even surpassed 100 and 55th even . so they are going to start going into negotiations. but this time around, it seems that with the liberal party is getting the bigger share between the 2 or 3 for the 1st place. second them 3rd place parties. but they will be able to come to some sort of an agreement with the priority being look, looking at the country's economy. i'm trying to fix it off the damage that co, with on the coast to jamal. thank you very much. jamal and child live in robotics. let's discuss this further now. with mom i thought to who's a professor of political science at the international university of boston. he's joining us via skype. thank you for being with us. how do you explain this humiliating defeat for the p g? well, 1st of all, i must say that moroccans went in for a major surprise or to major surprise member one, the crushing defeat of the busy
4:49 pm
d, the london touring power for almost 10 years now. and the 2nd thing is the liberals coming into force to form the government. the, everybody believes that the longest will come back for another term to power. and they were preparing themselves for that said actually he, that the defeat was surprised and why they were defeated. they were defeated because 1st of all, they did not deliver their promises and people, or fed up with their code of conduct and their moral duties, it cetera. so that's number one. people don't have jobs, especially after the pandemic. and the slum is probably not been able to create any jobs or to create the wealth that will create that kind of jobs that are going up. surprises the liberals, the liberals,
4:50 pm
3 parties are come in force into the good will probably in the government. but actually only 2 parties would need to form the government and that these riley and of the independence and do do city party. they can get together and form a government and if need to be the can have also these 2 websites and that will reduce the problems and the friction between the different people. so what less and see, think we can draw from this, can we say now that morocco has close the chapter of its own version of the abs spring? how is this all being viewed you think across the region? well, i think this guy situation shows that morocco may be moving slowly towards kind of a democracy that with where, where you have kind of parties taking turns into power.
4:51 pm
and these people are going to be into power, have to deliver on various fields, especially after the pandemic. people are suffering in spending because you know, all over the world and young people need jobs and all the people also need jobs and they need a better sustain and, and all kinds of things for economic reasons. so these people who are coming into our have to be extremely careful. and the 2nd point is they have to take into consideration the new development plan which tries to reduce poverty, which is especially in rural areas and have some sort of equity in these areas. and provide also lots of jobs. thank you very much for your inside mommy to try to professor for little sign that the university. sure you are to be over by joining us there from the morgan capital. we appreciate your time. britain is planning to

4:53 pm
a huge amount of pressure on the government. a huge amount of pressure on the home office in particular to do something to stem this type, especially with concerns that events and i've got this done may prompt yet further numbers of people to try and reach british shows. and so we have what looks like a new plan, the state them from the home office released on wednesday night saying that efforts run the way to train border full staff to employ so cool. turn around tactics at c or b as in limited and very specific circumstances. only well, this plan has received an instant and absolutely ferocious pushback from various quarters. during the course of thursday morning humanity are in groups calling it cruel and inhumane immigration expert saying it's simply illegal. you just can't do this to vessels see that are considered in any way vulnerable. and of course, the vast majority of these small boats are in some way vulnerable, and you simply can't do it without the consent and cooperation of the french. they

4:56 pm
illnesses, for the strengths. it can be frustrating from a medical point of view to find so many instances that so flagrantly violate the measures necessary to mitigate contagion. last month, more than 2000000 tourists visited this part of mexico the 3rd month in a row with tourism figures even higher than before. the start of the pandemic vehicles, as that was for me, was proximity to the united states. and the fact that airlines are flying to destinations in canada, asia, european caribbean, because many of not reopened has made us a viable alternative. in fact, today we have more flights from the united states than we did in 201910. today's one of mexico's most popular destinations, and while many here are following sanitation mandates, health officials, ward the risks are still high. i'm afraid because the virus still exists. and the true is there is terrorism and large gatherings of people in many places, even though i'm vaccinated,
4:57 pm
they say vaccinated people can still get sick. but i also have to work authorities in mexico see most tours arriving from abroad or vaccinated. unfortunately, the same can't be said for a majority of mexicans, putting at risk a health system that has struggle to provide adequate care for still growing number of corona virus. patient manuel did up a little al jazeera us present. joe biden is expected to outline a plan to contain the fast spreading, delta, very tough, covey 19 infections out at their highest level since last winter. and so hospitalizations and deaths driven mainly by the cases among people who aren't vaccinated. the world health organization has once again urged wealthy countries not to offer corona virus booster shots to their citizens. the w h o director general says he's appalled many poor nations can't get jobs while richer nations are considering for doses. some countries are struggling to access in our fax seems
