9:00 pm
to a training camp run by the boys from different corners. i never see, no american dream in america. you just feel like your caged animal. things on my child shouldn't go through the program. that isn't your i know tennis if you well today on al jazeera, ah, ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello, i'm rob matheson, this is the news, our life from joe, coming up in the next 60 minutes left on a government off the 13 months of political deadlock, but critics warn if the same old leads back african regional heads. all sorts of leaders of the recent qu in guinea. they're demanding the release of the president
9:01 pm
. i'm a french helped us just charge over her handling of the coven 19 and demick. the show of force, bella luce and russia long, some major military exercises got their neighbors on high alert and, and fort painful planning for a wildcard every 2 years has come in for more criticism with liverpool manager and club, saying that idea is all about money with no regard for player welfare ah, to 13 months of political good luck, lebanon has a new government is going to be headed by billionaire. a businessman, nigi mccarty, lebanon, has been without a functioning government since last year's bare route port explosion which plunged the country deeper into an economic crisis. then
9:02 pm
a caller has more from beirut. it's been more than a year of political wrangling, lebanon's feuding politicians have now reached the deal on the distribution of power in cabinet. it's common for them to argue for months, but this time so much is at stake. the incoming government needs to stop the financial collapse and know how to help me. i hope that we can bring our country back on its feet. let me hope that this government will be able to function at least put an end to the bleeding hall. and we can all come together as one hand to bring back 11 on feet proud and prosperous. the political paralysis had worse and than economic crisis. the united nation says more than 80 percent of the population is considered poor up from 42 percent 2 years ago. since then, the local currency has lost more than 90 percent of its value. the minimum wage is worth just $35.00 or salary barely less. today's we are depriving
9:03 pm
our own children from what they need though she went on with those officials should return all the money they stole and transferred abroad. the political class is blamed for decades of corruption and unsustainable financing. months of street protests and international pressure failed to bring about a new leadership. not optimistic that this government can actually undertake the font because they have shown voc, they are ready to hijack any forms that actually help the people versus safe guard, the interests of the one percent or the ones for quality connected. people have been struggling to meet their basic needs. there are shortages of almost everything, including fuel. the incoming government is not the non partisan cabinet specialist demanded by the international community to unlock a but it appears they are ready to work with what they call a capable government may actually just say he has 4 and backing, but many people feel that there will be little change with the same parties in
9:04 pm
power. the local currency did gain against the dollar on the exchange market, but lebanon is experiencing hyper inflation. and in days, subsidies on basic goods will end. the government's formation is only the beginning . so there, osha, theda, beirut. well, that's bringing leverage political activists on a hurry, who's talking to us from powers. good to happy with us on all the 0. how do you think 11 people are going to react to this new government? i think they already reacted. you can see it already from the online community, but you can also see it on tv. and in the reports that you just showed that there been nice people and people in lebanon had lost his trust in this political class to, to meet. and we know that it's exactly the same political class that formed this government within the same process, the same thing, carrion process that usually do if we don't see people on the street,
9:05 pm
it's not because they are content. it's because they have lost a lot of energy of fighting for 2 full years now with everything happening with the explosion with the economy crisis, i think people are fed up, but mostly they have lost a lot of energy to be able to fight. especially now where they have to secure their basic living condition. i don't think people have hope in this government. i might be wrong, but that's not what we reading. that's not what we are seeing. and i think the experience of the past several decades of the same political class doing the governments in the exact same degrading way as completely abolishing people's opinion and, and people's will and exactly going again and again within the same process. i think people have totally lost hope in, in the people governing us and i'm afraid,
9:06 pm
lost hope in a lot of things. unfortunately, do you think that the government might be reaching a tipping point in lebanon as much that if has been alleged, there has been so much corruption, particularly amongst government officials and so on, that essentially, to an outsider, it looks like lebanon has been bled dry. if there's nothing left for those officials to take out if there's nothing left for anybody who's involved in corruption in lebanon to take out of the country, is this not the point at which the government should be turning the country around and looking to the country itself? rather than perhaps their own self interests, or indeed of course, it's not just those in government, but corruption, as we know, is endemic within lebanon that these people should be thinking. there is no more for the country to give. we have to move it forward. we actually have to start governing my fear. is that the actually what you said is absolutely correct and that there is nothing left to rob. and so how do we get more international aid?
9:07 pm
how do we get more money into our pocket? and more importantly, how do we get legitimacy now that we've lost that internationally, somehow, even if the international community is still beating at the exact political class, but mostly internally with our people. so are they doing this for the international aid? are they doing this? because next year there are parliamentary election and they need to spend this money and kind of, you know, give us a shot of coming down the people, the anger and then gained back their legitimacy that they completely law. that's the actual question. i don't think it's it's, you know, oh, forgive us, we did all this wrong doing all these years. so now it's a tipping point. let's fix it. i don't think the same kitchen can fix it. i mean, i don't think the same people would fix it, or else they would have done a government months and months and months ago and they didn't. and it's the exact same people. if we change spaces, by the way, it doesn't mean that it happened. that stage has changed. a lot of the ministries
9:08 pm
today are actually part of the system, a lot of ministry today. we're actually part of the steering occupation of the occupation of lebanon. it's not that big to certain states that there are good names in this government, 2 or 3 good names. and i'm actually surprised that they accepted to be part of this government. maybe they could make a change. maybe there are some areas where actually we can salvage, especially in the health sector. we can salvage bits of the or ease the pain of the population. but i don't think this is what we're looking for as a sustainable solution for lab. and this is just the ferrying the problem more and more and get the got deeper and deeper into the, at the mess we are in just very briefly because unfortunately time is against us. you said before that the energy of people had been completely depleted. that that's the reason that they were not on the streets. if this new government does not work,
9:09 pm
if it does not prove itself, how likely is it? do you think that people are going to take to the streets? and we are going to see the violence and the streets of bay route, and other parts of lebanon that we have seen in previous years. listen, i think this political class has been monopoly of violence. whether it's actual violence, why does she think people on the street or incarcerating people, or starving people or, or, or doing an embargo on people, they have the monopoly of violence. everything else is actually self defense. now i think a lot of the lot of energy is because we didn't see the actual journey of change. if we go on the street, the street was there because it was necessary to say we are. we have the right to live in dignity until the week. now there is an important step back here in the parliament. and i think if we see it certain ability to change, it's a possibility in change. i think the energy will be back in effect because they didn't
9:10 pm
have to disappear. what actually, if we, if you want, what actually was a big turns awkward, going on the streets and then what they are shooting us and the international community is still supporting them somehow. so what's left alone, as people in this big jail left either to leave or to starve. and this is where the lot of energy came. i don't think it's because there is a lack of will. i think there's and we don't see exactly how this is going to happen and how we are going to get rid of them once and for all. there is, there is a window. if they, if they actually make parliamentary elections, there is a window of how, maybe, and this is where you'll see the energy will come back because it is, it is inside and waiting for it for, for it to get out and actually express again. and again, i refused for this political class to actually run
9:11 pm
a curry. we appreciate your time and thank you very much for the indeed for talking to us on august the thank you. thank you. thank you very much. a demonstration from the west african law was, has met guineas, ousted president of a condo, and says he's in good health. they also held talks with military leaders behind sundays to demanding the restoration of a civilian government. both f a was and the african union suspended guineas. membership for let's speak to an interest in the get in capital concrete. so the echo was members, or some of them, at least, did have a meeting with the president, but they really wanted to get the president. i was of the country. what has been going on to the meetings that have been held today? well basically when they arrived the corner at port, they were met with some officials of the military government in cornell, cree before the arrival of the call, eda, kind of my

9:14 pm
after he refused to admit, he lost the election. the block 2nd military action which eventually led to some as exit. in october, last year echo was helped mediate molly's transitional government after a military coup. when that government was overthrown, 8 months later, the block suspended money's membership, but it did not impose sanctions. but i'm a gay as a former information director for echo was he says the block has been ineffective and tackling conflicts in the region. they've been sleeping for the we use of the organization. instead of really being brought div addressing the challenges in because it's members 15 members, they have been really opposite with those what has been breaking the nose within their countries from a candidate who what i could do, what are you in phil marcie fella as be a regular tv. listen, mister expecting disrespecting,
9:15 pm
the rules of wrote all those problems at the end of the b, b to the girl that you should see, you know, and somehow it was coming like what we said in french medicine up in a whole doctor. after that, i don't think call us will go away anytime soon, because it is a powerful brand. don't really regional organization. when you talk integration organization in africa, what comes to mind? you sickle us and maybe mesa to call us as middle name, $0.40, because it has to be one of the best institutions in africa decided to bade into the peace process. fixing corporate africa. the motor ahead of the knees are including blocks at the border. why vital goods bones but i've got to stop in danger of washing away kickbacks. abide ministration vaccine.
9:16 pm
mandate fox, a political storm and the united states is republic instructing. legal action. i'm counting down to rinaldo is in manchester, united. returning more than that later course. ah. the 2nd commercial flight from us kinda stand. this is the taliban seized control has landed in cut out around a 160 people were on board, including british nationals, europeans, americans, canadians, and model tensions. some of the passengers will be transported to a facility housing african evacuees. foreign ministry says couple, the airport is operational and it's up to other airlines to decide whether not to use it. the most important, this is not evacuated mission. this is a free passage, a free movement passengers traveling through international airport through
9:17 pm
international airport. i think it's not, it's not too important to me. i would say to call a chart or commercial. the bottom line is that the airport is a personal. people can travel easily. that's the most important, i guess it's up to other airlines to fly to chicago or not. i think as far as that goes there, and i think it's really opertitional. well, how much i'm zoom has the latest cartels international airport. there was a little bit of confusion yesterday as to whether the 1st flight that took off from from cobble and landed here and how that went about 113 passengers on board. if that was just a regular passenger flight, or if that was considered a charter flight clarified today by a re official even before this flight landed that it is technically a charter flight. when i asked dr. bonnie: about that he the fact that look easier, passengers are able to leave of their own volition yesterday before the flight to cobble on cobble airport. how many cars i airport in cobble. he said that these are
9:18 pm
passengers who will have their papers, who have tickets and boarding classes and they got on this white. whether or not they are technically considered a vacuum. we're back to the matter is they were able to leave and that's what the officials were here and i are stressing doctoral funny thing for him at the moment . the important thing is that the passengers had their papers that they were able to get on those planes and that they were able to arrive here as well. about whether or not we say, expect more of these types of flights in the days to come specifically upper airway flights like the plane you see behind me coming from cobble arriving here in durham . and he said that that's going to be up to, in some regards of other airways, they're going to be corresponding, communicating with the airport in cobble and, and arranging these flights. so there's still a little bit of vagueness about how exactly this perceive the program is warning, the 93 percent of families and i've kind of stand on not eating enough
9:19 pm
d u and it says the country is less than a year away from a 98 percent poverty rate and calling for urgent efforts to boost the economy, which is facing collapse without international help to keep money flowing in. what we have found is that the number of portion of families, resorting to extreme coping mechanisms. those are things like stripping meal or preferring to get food to children instead of adults, or limiting portion sizes to make food last longer have almost doubled. so now there are 3 out of 4 african families employing at least one, if not more of those approaches. the writing secretary general says he's played with the international community to continue dialogue with the taliban. as a country faces economic collapse and famine. the win is a key role to play in many teddy unaids to a people that is now in
9:20 pm
a desperate situation. desperate situation and so we decided that it was our duty to engage sullivan to create the conditions for the possibility of effectively many tadja, ne, the impartial to reach all areas. and to take into account our concerns in relation to women and girls. for instance. while the monetary and crisis looms enough canister on board of trade with pakistan could play a crucial role. the corruption and smuggling slowing the fluid flow of goods and leaving tons of much needed food, rotting in trucks. some of any of age reports from home crossing for killing me districts laden with fruits, vegetables, and other perishable items, lane the road to pakistan. this is the main highway leading to the door border crossing. some of these drivers have been queueing for days with rotting loads and diminishing fuel. among other mom doesn't watch what parts of matters great parish
9:21 pm
. we are all losing hundreds of thousands of dollars every day due to the slow clearance process. by pakistani authorities, they must look into our plight. the slow down as do district checks on the back sunny side. customs officials recently seized us made weapons from trucks and regularly fine drugs and luxury items hidden and vehicles. each truck goes through a physical check and then passes through an x ray scanner to see anything under the crate. its a meticulous process that takes time by kasanya officials say managing a 2600 kilometer long border without a government on the other side is a difficult task. so we got can we get them? if you shot the risk? yes, the bank after crude goes to pakistan, keep better open and the blues them and if you do them, contributing to humanity in questions with it. right. and if you have to treat them,
9:22 pm
dr. traffic is backed up on either side of the crossing gear to get, i've already or lower audio. when you enter pakistan, there are 3 different checks. first, it's the military, the customs, and then the narcotics force. each one takes almost an hour to clear, and that's the reason we have to wait and wait. you know, guardy there is that you can up border officials are under the problem and this video be slowed down. you can see a security official rejecting a bribe. and he realizes he's being filmed later, he took $2.00 from the driver. similar actor repeated a different posts, hundreds of time today, the law that we circled back to talk with the drivers who missed a deposit or face further delays. what the driver is telling us is he has to be multiple rides at checkpoints. and what i cannot show you the spend your writing tomatoes because he's been waiting for average hours in
9:23 pm
a very long queue off trucks trying to cross into buckets, phone street to see after the fall, a former president sharp done. he's government and take over by the taliban. they do not have to pay bribes inside the bonus done. but they still have to pay them and $50.00 live impacts done. some of the job done, there are some border i remember ceremony has been held at the pentagon to honor the victims of the 911 attacks in the us, saturday, march 20 years since attackers flew planes into the world trade center and new york . as well as the pentagon in virginia, any 3000 people were killed. the secretary of state paid tribute to the victims under families at a separate ceremony in washington, dc. some members of our community, last family and friends that day, our hearts go out to all of us. every one of those losses sent ripples that radiated outward. the stories of those who died were told around the world.
9:24 pm
restaurant workers on breakfast, kids flying to disney land, firefighters and police officers, who, as we all know, ran into the building after the plains hit. people for more than 90 countries lost their lives that day. french prosecutors have charged a former health minister for her handling of the early stages of the corona virus pandemic. i guess, museum step done from her role just weeks into the outbreak in january 2020. she said there was a very low risk of the virus spreading across the country. prosecutors say more than 14000 complaints have been made against the government handling of the panoramic natasha bottles live for us in paris. tell us more about why agnes was in has been placed on a formal investigation. yes, agnes, with our former french health minister, placed under formal investigation, facing allegations that she endangered people's lives in connection with her
9:25 pm
handling of those early stages of the cove. it $900.00 pandemic in france. now, she is accused of doing things like, you know, making sure that there was an adequate stock of masks early on in the crisis or even of the protective equipment or failing to put in place adequate restrictions, particularly on travel, in particular on travel from china. if you remember, of course, kind of in 19 of those 1st cases emerging in, whoo, hon. well, the 1st cases in france emerged in january 2020 breeze. and then the health minister said at the time that there was very little charles for the virus would spread in france. a month later, she quits the health ministry to run for the men of paris. and then she gave a, an interview to a newspaper in which she said, the fraud, so that she faith from you know, me suggesting that the virus was going to spread very rapidly in the population. is
9:26 pm
they seem to be of course contradictory statements. i mean, there's little doubt that the french government has been under the scrutiny over its handling of the coven, 19 crisis bruise, and has, in many respects, become something of a symbol of this. and is there any likelihood that's going to spread out? i mean, this charge against agnes buddhism. is it going to have a wider impact on the government or is it going to be focused on her? do you think? i think that's something that people in france will be watching very carefully already. the fact, the facts of former french health minister is facing such allegations that has rattled many of course you can imagine in the political establishment and is also no worthy that at various times she has given interviews in which she had suggested that she showed information about just how dangerous as far as was going to be
9:27 pm
early on in the panoramic before that became as obvious to the public with the, for example, many top ministers and the government and the even the presence of mind micro himself. so i think many will be watching to see whether or not others may be a whole day and as part of a wider investigation. because what's been happening over the past here is a parliamentary committee has been looking into the government's handling of the crisis. and in fact, a few months ago, last year, in fact, of the current health minutes, the only view that home woke, he had his offices and his home rated as part of that investigation. natasha, thank you very much. that's latasha butler talking to us from powers. the republican party says is tiny legal action against the by the ministration over its tough new rules on vaccinations include mandatory jobs and testing for some with disciplinary action for those who don't comply. president biden's been visiting a school in washington and urging parents to get children age 12 and over
9:28 pm
vaccinated. los angeles has become the 1st major us school district to make vaccinations mandatory for students. those age 12 and above have until january to get their jobs. our white house correspondent, kimberly hall, who has more on the opposition to biden's mandate. there's no question that those that have felt for a while that this is a choice, not something that government should dictate are already preparing their legal challenges. there are millions of americans that are still and vaccinated roughly 80000000 and many of them are conservatives. are living conservative states and feel. 2 that joe biden has gone too far this time they feel that he has overstepped his constitutional authority as president and as a result are. 8 really putting in place already legal challenges and the feeling is, is that particularly when it comes to the private workplace, not the public sector,
9:29 pm
which would be the federal government. this is where the president has perhaps overstepped his authorities. now, we do know that there has been some precedent already where the bi magenta has had pushed back of the supreme court level with regard to the mandatory, sort of making sure that people stay in their homes and can't be evicted due to the pandemic. and not having to pay rent, which many argue with her disproportionately landlords that are not making the money that they say they deserve. so we're going to have to watch carefully to see where these legal challenges go. but the bottom line is there are already many conservatives in this country that are digging in their heels and they're saying, look at not only are we going to challenge this legally, but what we're telling others is do not comply. in other words, they're encouraging civil disobedience. so i had an order 0 watching out for people at risk of suicide because one of our respond demik is led to more talk on mental
9:30 pm
health. el salvador was president retires, a 3rd of the countries judges. but as he rooting out corruption, cement in his own power, and it's been called a very sad day for 10 crickets. find out why in sport? ah, ah hello, we've got a little more cloud across southern parts of the arabian peninsula. at the moment, i can see this system here that's been bringing some very heavy right to the north west of india, southern parts of pakistan. but for much of the middle east, dry and sunny summit it up as per usual little change as we go one through sunday, wednesday using a little around the east side of the gulf. and we are going to see a bit of a shamal just kicking in here. northern parts of africa generally try can see have a shout roll off the if you're in highlands pushing further westwards. we are
