healthy you will you every one ah, ah, this is al jazeera, ah, hello, i'm adrian again. this is that he is alive from coming up to the next 60 minutes. the us threatens more sanctions for all parties involved in ethiopia as conflicts, if later negotiate and then to the violence. and we're just doing what we need to do to keep the straight and size and protect the national interest astray. as prime minister dismisses china's outraged response to a new security alliance with the u. s. u k. u and security council extends its

mission and i've got on the part of the resolution referring to women and girls, was watered down before the boat. and the family of a man who died of cove at 19 after confronting it at an austrian ski resort sous the government. i'm going to get over to the board and abundance cricket tour packets on the security concern just before the team scheduled matching back has done in 18 years. ah, the united states is threatening more sanctions against the theo pier, with the goal of ending the fighting in the northern region. a new executive order opens the door to sanction members of the unit, eritrea and governments, the to cry people's liberation front and the hot regional government. the biden administration is looking to put pressure on the warring parties to come to the negotiating table. is

a look at the conflict integral now into it's 11 months to grow people's liberation front dominated ethiopia as politics. for nearly 30 years, until prime minister ahmed took power in 2018. last november, they ordered a military operation against the group, which had retreated to, to gripe, accusing it, attacking of attacking a federal military base and killing soldiers. since then, the conflict has killed thousands of people. the un says more than 2000000 have been displaced on more than 400000 living close to famine. in june, the african union lost an independent inquiry into reports of human rights violations against civilians and retrans forces who are sent to try when the conflict 1st began. i've also been accused of rights abuse. it's no more in this now from, i'll just see russia have returns he, his life for us in washington. this threat then of sanctions as she goes out to all sides in the conflict. yes, and in the last hour we have some more statements through various means from the

secretary of state as the blinking about the thinking behind the threats of 2nd still threatening knobs. not majors sanctions being imposed have been previous. sanctions have been relatively minor travel restrictions and so on, but, but still no, no, firm sanctions on leaders or any part of the conflict really much to the dismay, i think of liberal interventionists so that lead ministration more on that. a bit attorney blinking saying that immediate steps taken us to us is prepared to delay the imposition of sanctions and focus on support for the negotiated process. and then repeat calls or try and forces to withdraw a cessation of hostilities and negotiations without pre conditions. that's interesting because on background, say department officials are telling journalists, actually there's no specific time at all for, for any sanctions to be imposed, but it's not indefinite. but what they say they really worry about is the next 2 weeks. they think that prime minister abby homage will want to declare some kind of

victory on october. the 4th, when he's sworn in, in front of a new parliament, which might mean an escalation in the coming weeks. and they fed that of course, the t p. s. them will do everything, get counted, prevent any kind of victory declaration. so that might be an escalation in the offing. but still still, despite that for a relatively softly, softly approach will need ministration and several reasons. it would seem for that 1st 4 years, crucial to the u. s. is opperation in africa, horn of africa, and that region around that. i do not want to lose ethiopia as an ally. in addition, i'll be outlet you talked about. the previous administration has, has abandoned the socialist principles of a t p as busy privatizing the economy, which is great for us multi nationals, but indiana. and i think we're going to do this and talk about this in a different form in a moment. in the end, the u. s. c. foreign policy entitled through the prism of china and i do not want to lose ethiopia to china and prime minister, as in really skilful and yes,

reaping enormous humanitarian aid and other aid from the us. but also taking a lot of investment from china and i think this is ministration knows. busy but i'll be, i'm can play both sides and you can, can very easily if the washing that's too hard on the government that he could sell . right. and, well, then we're moving firmly into the chinese camp. and as we know, this white house is obsessed by china. i was 0, she returns the reporting like that for washington. she had many thanks. indeed, let's get more than from ethiopia itself. journalist time you will get that. you join us on skype from addis ababa. samuel, your analysis of this, this executive order? it's, it's the threat of sanctions with no actual sanctions just yet is that threat going to be enough to make a difference? it really, america is still a powerful influence and he has invested since the beginning of the conflict begun to november. it has invest. that was over half a $1000000000.00 in terms of the conflicts providing aid and basic support to

all the, the millions of victims we've been seeing from a distance. and that's a great region. there is also the issue of trade. ethiopia has benefited from a trade agreement that was signed by george w bush in 2000, 2000 in 2000 and cor, saying that countries like if you guys should benefit from duty pre privileges. and there was a peer that would be withdrawn and how much of your success in the past has been in terms of trade. its industrial parks occupied by america not multinational benefit from this tax benefit. those that introduced 2 decades ago. and there was a fear that would be withdrawn, but that did not happen. and then the release and the sub of right. so if you has much to lose what about the other parties in the conflict? well, the, you know, it, you can, government continues to accuse the american government of supporting the

soldiers, bravery they are cold when some months power, the head of us said was in town. she did get the audience that she expected from the prime minister. so there was all kinds of complaints from the american side, but i mean this conflict is still going on and we're pushing its 1st year in november and lot. so for victims and also the conflict happening and, and regions. yes, just to remind us of where we are at the moment in t gray and i'm particularly the humanitarian efforts to get aid to people who desperately need it on the ground. it's her desk where it has to gets according to the un some 91 percent of the population to growth are need of emergency aid. there's the famine that define the children the past. coming back to define the country. once again, there's close to 1000000 people that are facing firemen,

according to the u. n. and it's getting, it's getting worse. but she's ations remains their money, money, accusations, and counter accusations that's going back and forth between the children side and the left. and here we are, close to the 1st year since we begun. could talk to you again many thanks and a journalist, you'll get a to that live in at a stop about. thank you. china has accused the u. s. industrial area of colluding to smith. it's reputation in the latest fall out after the 2 countries joined britain in a new alliance. many see that you security agreement as part of efforts by the west to contain china's growing influence in the region, particularly of a contested maritime claims. 9, i want sugar on the south china sea, taiwan and hong kong, china. the position is clear to us unless trailer or colluding with each other and for selfish geopolitical gains are smearing china. their interfering and chinese

domestic affairs. really, as facts of proven china, not only a major engine for economic development in the region is also for stability and peace and china development. representative morse for peace in the world and the regions development houses. here's katrina you and bay. james says the china feels the alliance will cause irreversible damage. all relations between by doing camera are in very bad shape. an analyst that i've spoken to here says that this really is the nail in the coffin, that if there was any opportunity for the relationship to improve this really close that often, we do expect the relationship to remain frosty, for at least some years to come and china's relationship with these other countries through the u. s. and the you can also worsening. china has repeated its rebuke. of this security packed accused these 3 countries of harboring a cold war mentality of creating an exclusionary block and of interfering in china's internal affairs. we had a new statement released by the chinese embassy in australia earlier today. and in

that statement, it said that a strictly should handle its relationship with china in a genuinely independent manner. meaning to say that beijing sees australia is acting as little more than a porn of united states in the region. and it seems that reflected in this trade back in this exchange of this nuclear submarines. but more to come here on that is including an ancient treasure trove and chemist on the delicate balance between protecting the nations heritage. extracting its mineral wealth, the u. s. moves closer to offering cobit 900 boost of explanations, despite the w h o warnings that it's unnecessary and irresponsible. and thesis says that a survey shows family support or more frequent world comp pushes on the controversial plans. the hold of every 2 years. that's coming up later in the sport of jo. a

china as president, she's in thing is calling for a smooth transition in afghanistan and urge the new government to follow what he called moderate policies, asian leaders, and beating and touching sustan's little to shondae to discuss the taliban takeover . shanghai co operation organisation is the 1st major summit of regional countries since the armed group seized power last month. member states have expressed concern about an influx of refugees and the risk of attacks. the un security mean council meanwhile, has extended its mandates of mission enough. galveston for the 6 months. the vote was passed unanimously. they settled on a temporary extension, given the uncertainty and i've gone on since the telephone take over. the security council also called on the taliban to create an inclusive and representative government by extending the mandate of the un assistance mission in afghanistan. today, we demonstrate this body's commitment to the un vital role in supporting the afghan

people. by extending unanimous work as assigned in resolution 2543, we are emphasizing the importance of the un continued commitment to human rights. civilian and child protection, humanitarian assistance, coordination, and countless other functions which will be fundamental to the future of a scanner stands. more on this for multiplan, i think it's a james base, he's up to you and he's with us now live, james. the mission is known by its acronym unit, huh. what is it? and why is the decision to extend its mandate significant? it's the un assistance mission for afghanistan, and it's been in place since 2001. but actually the un in some shape or form has been in afghanistan since 947, a range of roles that they've done over the years. some of them i think, are not going to be ones that can be performing anytime soon. for example,

promoting democracy and arranging elections has been part of their role helping the african government with that, clearly, i don't think they're elections anytime soon enough kind of stuff. but there are parts of the mission which i think you're going to be greatly increased. for example, the humanitarian assistance in afghanistan, real worries about the state of the economy, the not properly functioning, banking system, the idea that literally thousands, maybe millions of people will start a slow and steady exodus from afghanistan across the borders. although it's very difficult to get across the board is because they're closed. that's why the un security council has not done what it normally does, which is extend this mission just as it is every year for another year. they've decided really they need to look at the shape of this and how it's going to work. and that's why they've now agreed to a 6 months except extension. for now, the resolution was passed unanimously, but some of it had been watered down ahead of the votes. had it yeah,

somebody to be more to down because there was a reference to reporting on women and girls by the secretary general because sex general supposed to produce a report before they come up with the next deliberation on what they do after the 6th month. extension and that specifically was going to include a section on women and girls that that reference to women and girls was taken out of the resolution. but i can tell you that security council members say they hope and expect the secretary general to still talk about the situation regarding women and girls. the reference that was taken out by china and russia who did not want that specific reference in the security council resolution at this time, i think it shows behind the scenes, even though it hasn't. i think affected the passage of this resolution that there are tensions among these countries and different views on how to deal with the taliban. and remember that is going to be,

i think one of the other problems going forward for the un is whether to recognize the taliban. there is not gonna basset is still in his seat, who represents a government no longer exists. the thought about, i think we'll try and get the seat at the united nations. but many countries, i think, believe that's one bit of leverage they have of the taliban. so they're not going to give the taliban recognition very easily. or diplomatic. it's james by his there live of the you and james. many thanks for james has been speaking with the un secretary general antonio could tell us about the failure of foreign military intervention. and i'm going to start over the past 2 decades. the television voiced concern over the unpredictable situation, including the prospect of a total economic collapse. it will be a total disaster. it will be lots of people dying. and i believe a massive out flow into the neighboring countries with audible consequences for the stability of those countries. so i think it's very important to avoid that collapse that i've been saying that you made a teddy and

a these essential. but at the same time, it's necessary, and of course there are ways to do so even in respect for international law. when we go back 20 years to 911, you were the leader of a nato country. you were the prime minister of portugal. since then, you've been the high commissioner for refugees visiting afghanistan. many times. few people have the same insight as you and what happened in afghanistan. tell us in your view, what went wrong. i think everything went wrong. such the idea that the african people can be ruled from outside. i'm in the british strides and say the russians tried and failed the soviets at the time. now the americans tried and said, the african people is the people who is any problems. they have lot, lots of problems among themselves, but they have even more problems with the idea that they can be dominated from the outside. on the other hand, i think that there was too much military action and not enough

support to building institutions. and we have seen that the african army was so fragile in the way it was built that when the tale about an attack, in the absence of the presence of foreign forces, they collapse in 7 days. some here in the u. s, saying nato in the u. s shouldn't have been doing nation building, you seem to be saying they should actually have been doing more nation building and less bombing people and fighting nation building is probably the wrong concept. i think what is important is to create the conditions for a country to find its own way. the problem of nation building is that sometimes we try to impose a model copy. it's from other parts of the world in which the cultures, the social relations, the ethnic diversity are completely different. and we all need to understand that

we need to act with the people of a country, understanding the people of the country, understanding their culture, understanding their traditions, understanding that history and obviously helping them to adapt to the modern times. but not trying to project on them. what we are, as you can see, the full interview with the un secretary general antonia good, sad as on talks. well, just hear it as fast saturday. oh, for 30 hours. gmc of china moves to engage with the color bonded setting it sites and i've got sounds vast mineral resources. the interim government wants chinese recognition so that the mining could begin. but as charles stratford reports from miss isaac, the plans could threaten some of the nation's archaeological treasures. the we follow the taliban guns on the motorcycle up through the gorge to a plateau high in the mountains of lucca province. this baron isolated place in

eastern afghanistan is believed to hold the 2nd largest copper or deposits in the world worth at least $50000000000.00. the chinese flag flies over a make shift mining camp. in 2007, the former afghan government signed a 30 year lease with a consortium of chinese state owned companies to start mining work here. it never did. and the taliban is in control now. that ed morgy who are the yellow country is economically very weak. we hope the mind will help the whole country. if the work is not beneficial for all that guns will restart the process and give the contract to someone else on the taliban fighters that is through the gate for the guard working for the chinese companies refuses to let us film coming, said i look, look at our camp, but you cannot record the last chinese stuff to flee. what became

a fast deteriorating security situation left in early august, but years of fighting between the taliban nato forces and the afghan army is not the only reason why excavations have not started yet. this valley is absolutely full of history, buddhist zoroastrian. ok, let's just say stretching back to 2000 years, the taliban say they're going to do all they can to protect the archaeology. here. before mining for copper on the other side of the mountain stops. these ancient ruins were once a thriving city on the silk route between china and europe. its inhabitants were mainly buddhists. with the article, the tower were nomads. when we were traveling through these mountains for years, says this man, the surface was smooth. we had no idea there was an ancient city beneath. come yet

a local taliban official guides us into tongue to show where afghan and foreign, archaeologists have been working for years to remove artifacts before the mind starts. but just like the chinese minus the archaeologists also fled when the taliban arrived. we walked up so on a cliff where he reveals one of the estimated 500 buddhist statues, was carved into the mountain side. in 2001, the taliban caused international outrage by blowing up giant buddhist statues in the eclipse of balmy on. so we'll do something like that here to that for normally when i was a 2000 years old, the chinese made an agreement, the artifact, they have to be taken away and protected. if we wanted to destroy them, we would have done us when we took control, but we didn't. we protect ultimately. it's unsure when the archaeologists will return an experts say until china recognizes the taliban government contracts are

signed with previous afghans. ministrations are all on hold. these mountains could unlock immense wealth. afghanistan, the taliban says the archaeology will be moved and protected 1st, afghans and the world watched to see if the new rulers of this country keeps their word. charles stratford al jazeera miss isaac of gone. it's not me. austria's government has being taken to court, accused of not responding quickly enough to cobit 19 outbreaks in ski resorts, the civil war suitors the 1st of 15 such cases, more than 6000 people from 45 countries say that they were infected during a viral outbreak. in the resort of escal, donna kane has more from berlin. the fact to be what is happening here,

the plaintiffs, the people bringing the case. they say that the authorities in austria nationally, but also locally, were aware of the fact that there had been covey cases in issues at a specific bar called kit slot in town of issue. remember that issue is a ski resorts renowned as the visa on ice. in other words, a place where many hundreds, if not thousands of people would come, not just for the skiing, but for the appraise sky for the partying season element. and the argument put forward by the plaintiffs by the people bringing the case is that the authorities knew about it. they were happ hazard. chaotic in the way they tried to enforce a clamp down in that town. so that what happened was that when people found out that coven was there, they didn't know what to do. they all congregate in the same places, in the same venues, and then in the same coaches and buses, hours on and coughing and sneezing, catching cove, it passing it to other people. and then of course, leaving ish go,

leaving austria going to other parts of europe. and with its spreading cove, it around the continent. that's the case being put forward by the people bringing this case. the austrian government is rejected that version of events and is denying what it's being accused of in this civil court. the world health organization says that it will help lebanon find solutions to return health care crisis lebanon's, economic problems. of course, widespread shortages of medical supplies and equipment, w h o, excuse me, secretary general, ted ross, i don't, i'm going to say is given to us as visiting. they wrote a week after the formation of a new government serious challenge in lebanon. a shortage of medical supplies, shortage of fuel. and the banking problems also problems with water provision and electricity, which actually affects the health condition of the people of lebanon.

and we have agreed on what we can do in the short term. and what can also be done in the long term and based on the governments vision, we would be happy to support you in any way possible or not from out of harrison honda and pay route. the country is in a deep economic crisis. all sectors of the economy have been affected, the state has all but collapse, basic services are collecting, including the health care sector, the world health organization, saying that the population health is at risk and the needs are immense. and that international organizations like the united nations cannot fill the caps any longer because of the needs are only increasing. so they went, they met the officials, there's a new government in this country. i spoke to the world health organization, delegates on the sidelines of the press conference, and what they said was they sense this seriousness and willingness on the part of

the new authorities to change their ways not to follow pass policies if you'd like, because successive governments really have been blamed for underfunding and neglecting the public health sector and more and more people rely on the public health sector because the people are just for you and says 80 percent of the population is now poor. for out of 5 people need assistance. there are medical shortages in this country. there's a lack of hard currency to bring in supplies. there's a lack of fuels, there's no safe electricity. diesel shortage has the united nation has stepped in to pay for diesels in order for a hospitals to continue providing services to the lebanese people. so it is really a critical, critical time. but the international community has made this very clear time and time again. if the new lebanese government does not carry out structural reforms and fight corruption, then they will not unlock international aid. the us food and drug administration is

due to hold a meeting on whether to approve the booster shots produced by pfizer bio in tech. a panel of independent vaccine advisors will vote on whether there's a need for additional doses for people aged 16 and older top health officials of warned that some fully vaccinated people. they don't have enough immunity to cope with 19 talked about cutting from the university of exeter says that lower income countries shouldn't be neglected. as more developed nations start to handout booster shots with respect to boosting, you may be protecting some people and so the gain is very marginal. on the other hand, we are ignoring countries like africa, american parts of asia, where the, the infection is uncontrolled and extensive. and with extensive replication of the virus where there is a lot of infection. you can also get the emergence of variance. and if these very and start to bypass the vaccines, etc, it would be a step backward. so

a better public, how global intervention would be immunized the rest of the world. my view is really we need robust evidence before we go down the boosting way. and in the meantime, please donate your scenes. france has suspended around 3000 health care workers are failing to comply with coven 19 vaccination orders. the reports that it's led to surgery is being delayed in hospitals and occupation was made compulsory for health workers in july. the deadline to comply was september 15th. it's one of several measures aimed at increasing vaccination numbers. will get a weather update next year, but he's then more than just an art installation in washington dc drawers attention to the pandemic victims and those left behind in democratic republic of congo. the threat for all groups is making it difficult to make endless for some people and we'll hear from 7 times suitable. when
