uprooted fears about the erosion of basic price, particular for women and girls. despite assurances from the taliban and about the return to true punishments for the crimes. everybody will be safe, nobody's kid will be kidnapped again, parental now together that feeling their way forward into the new reality. ready the. ready post clothes and voting vote counting begins in one of germany's most competitive elections to replace the anglo michael office. 16. ah. there i'm the pain. this is out there. live from also coming out. the thousands on the streets of june is demonstrating

against and for the president moved to consolidate power. a funeral has been housed in the occupied west bank after 5 palestinians was killed in raids by israeli forces demonstrates as an eastern don and block oil pipeline and protest against a government p. steel with rebels. ah, well we begin in germany where poles have just closed in the countries general election. vote counting is currently underway and one of the most unpredictable poles in recent history and also the fast vote in 16 years. a chancellor angler buckle is not on the balance where we have 3 correspondence currently covering the story. first. the need isn't the cd stronghold of the football step. vasa is following developments for us at s p d headquarters. but 1st let's speak to dominant kane in berlin. he'll bring us up

to date with those results. we're getting dominant clue both things over counting under way. what can you tell us of this very early stage? yes, no more votes can be cast. now it's all about counting them. but exit polls have already emerged and one particular exit poll suggests a dead heat in terms of 1st place, putting the kristi and democrats, and they're very narrow as the c s u level on 25 percent of the vote with the social democrats rember these 2 parties of being government with each other for many years now, but they are both put at exactly the same percentage points. but now crucially, the question will be, how many seats will these parties win in the parliament? that's the decisive total, not the percentage of the vote. they've got the number of seats they've got in the parliament that will form after the election results have come out. we see the greens according to one post, at least in 15, on 15 percent of the vote. and then the other party,

so the alternative for germany party the far right party which emerged in parliament which, which emerged into the parliament in the last election while their vote is held steady around 11 percent. the same percentage share for the free democrats, the liberals, as it were, center right, liberal party around 11 percent of the vote. what this suggests is that it will be quite difficult now to see what coalition might be able to be formed. crucially, the far left party that they call dealing care the left party in german 5 percent of the that's very important because if they fall below 5 percent of the vote, well they won't get any seats in parliament unless there's a particular provision where they might, if they are able to win 3 directly elected seats, but the headline here is quite clear, quite simple. the social democrats and the kristian democrats on 25 percent of the vote. a peace, a dead heat. the suggestion, just a suggestion being projected right now by one of the german news agencies is that

the see to you in the c s, you will might have one or 2 more seats in parliament. but clearly it's early days . the exit polls suggests that that heats and there would be lots of recriminations from different party leaders about what they might have been able to do. but the voting is over. the counting is under way the exit polls suggested that heat, dominic can keep an eye on those figures for us in berlin. thank you so much, dominic. well, let's not bring in step bass and you also in berlin, but b s p d headquarters that this is obviously a huge de, i'm assaults law shoulds, i'm sorry, how all the social democrats now reacting off to the latest exit polls. the you can hear me much ready got their candidates. well that sounds good. when

you say you have lots of stuff here that wouldn't saying close that for you hear it out there and that if p d had courses, thanks step. well, let's move across to dusseldorf. now and how to observe hamid, how does we've been saying a lot on the line for the c d u today. what are they hoping for given these raise it in polling margins? we've been seeing i think at the moment i be quite content with these exit polls because all the polls before the election showed them lagging behind the social democrats by 2 or 3 percent in the last days. now,

what's gonna happen next is that we, i don't know if all the boost to the mailing votes have been counted yet, is estimated that a large number of germans have voted through the mail because of the kobe demick. so it's early days really to say, what will happen next? but i think what happened here is that when angle americans stepped in over the past week, she, you know, as i said earlier, she is very popular. germans call her moody, which means mother, she really put her full weight behind the social, the christian democrats rather. and i mean, less should. she said that he was represented stability. and that's something germans really look for when it comes to an election. they like continuity and like stability. so probably this will when that is as certain satisfaction in the last

camp, especially that he has been criticized so much over the past weeks. and he was criticized today throughout the day because of that mishap he had at when he went to vote, showing his ballot, read it to the media, everybody to find out what he did. but we still have to wait and see what happened next. as dominic says, it's going to turn into coalition negotiations when these final result there. so i would say that the things are still quite up in the air. yes, the christian democrats did better than it was thought. but in general, they did worse than they usually do what we need there for us in default, or i thanks so much harder. well, that's bring an orac brooklyn. he is a professor of political science at stanford university in berlin, and he joins us now from the or a when you and i spoke yesterday. we talked about how michael is really changed the political landscape of germany over the last 16 years. and we see the poles now

suggest we do have some months of coalition negotiations ahead, but whatever happens today, do you see any seismic shift syndrome and politics here where the seismic shift is that an era came to an end. and it's very unlikely that anyone who will be her successor will get even close to what she managed to achieve to terminate with 16 years. so what will be happening? no matter who the next transfer is that across the political spectrum, everyone will negotiate with everyone to find out which 2 or 3 parties correlations are technically possible and where we have enough content overlap. we talked a little without correspondence there about how the c, d, u and social democrats have done in the res so far. but we also saw the very notable rise of the green this time round. can you talk through what's driven well, when the green party nominated a young and a chevy,

female candidate for the 1st time in the past, they are not strong enough to even dream of. couldn't that they could become the chancellor of germany. it created a great height and they would have been winners with 27 percent. now the leaders are at 25 afterwards and i made a few mistakes and people can command regarding green issues. also calm down and now we find them around 15. so they will certainly be strongly in coalition talk, but far from being a potential chancellor in germany. there was also a lot of talk about the far right f d party. how's this election gone for them in terms of expectations? but last time they had a bit more than 12 percent. now it seems as if they are and it seems that no one who through ours the program of the deed wouldn't even care what they do. who's in

charge. this is a mish mash of neo nazis frustrated people. people who feel neglected. it's unclear why as someone is voting for a party on the right end of the spectrum. for there's always been people who are more open to auto re, terry, and say no phobic races positions and this is what they represent. well, it feels like the political spectrum in germany hasn't changed boss lee, but i want to take a step back because with the exit of math, we're also seeing a huge shift in the power structure within europe. what implications might this election have for the state of b, e you itself, i imagine president micron for instances keeping a fairly close eye on things, not mine. but that will be very interesting because what we can observe is, and then the last weeks of the election campaign, every candidate was focusing on the degrees of domestic affairs. while we are

facing climate change, financial issues out to the us spending packages for post fund that make recovery. and last but not least, a reform of the european union. and none of these topics have been addressed in the campaign. it was all about domestic affairs and whoever is in charge now and whoever is part of the coalition needs to address urgently what is on the agenda and the european union and how to support my call. so he can win next year. the presidential elections against his candidates rivals and 1st and foremost money depending on the right and the spectrum. all right, fucking that professor of political science at stanford university and belin was great to get your thoughts. thanks for joining us again. all right, thanks for having me. now moving on and thousands of people have been protesting against that unity in president in the capital. but supporters of side were also

out on the streets of janice. on wednesday he announced he would rule by decree and ignore parts of the constitution. next year brian, under a heavy police presence, crowd gathered on the tune as in capitals main boulevard to protest against the president. the anger has been growing since july, when chi said suspended parliament and sec to the prime minister. 2 months on they still know parliament. no prime minister and people here say no plan to improve their lives. but when you have a home, you know what i, what i, what he's acting like he is the son that is rising on the country. the general prosecutor, the president, the parliament, the government. he's acting like he is everything. that's an issue to people and it's movement don't. once they cite, president side says his actions were needed to address economic stagnation and a poor response to the corona virus. his critics are calling it a coo and cy. he tightened his grip on power on wednesday,

announcing his rule by decree and ignore parts of the constitution. but that constitution was a hard forward product of the 2011 revolution that triggered the so called arab spring. protest is say, the president who the constitutional law professor is endangering the progress has been made. calling his actions at the trial of democracy. we need to go back to the constitution. we need to go back to the flow. we are a democracy and nobody has the right to break the 60 days since june. as he, his largest political party enact is facing a crisis of its own. more than a 100 party officials announced today resignation on saturday, accusing its leadership of failing to counter sides actions. it's quite clear that the political leaders are, they didn't understand or even they didn't assimilate. the huge psychological

decree to the occupied west bank. now where a funeral has taken place for one of 5 palestinians killed by israeli forces. yeah. the bodies of the others are being withheld by israeli authorities. the troops stormed several villages in jan in ramallah early in the morning surrounding houses and opening fire. israel says its soldiers rated the villages to arrest what they call mass operatives. neither abraham has worn out from alco baby in the occupied westbank. what happened early on sunday that these really forces have rated 5 different villages in the occupied bank, including here in the maybe they've killed 5 palestinians. all the all and 3 of them were here and look, maybe we went to see the house. where are these palestinians were hiding? and, and we've seen the remains the belongings of those palestinians. of course their

bodies were in there because they were, according to witnesses, left to bleed to death fit then were taken by the israeli forces. these 3 people are from the mass and the party has more their death calling for more resistance against the occupation. and one of them is the head on who has been on the run for weeks israeli forces as tried to arrest him and his house when they couldn't. they understood his wife and parts and other members of his family as a way to force him to surrender. of course did it. this didn't happen and it ended today with his death now also in g mean to palestinians were killed and according to the palestinian health ministry, one of them was a 22 year old and the other was a 16 year old. now, 4 of those bodies that were killed of the 5 to they are still with these really forces, but one of them, the 22 year old has been laid to rest in genie. and in

a funeral that we've also seen his fiance crying, she was, they were supposed to get married next month. the father said that he just celebrated his birthday yesterday. so it is a very tense situation here in the occupied westbank and many palestinians are saying that this is part of the price and the pain they're enduring under these really occupation. well meanwhile, israel has released a prominent palestinian politician after 2 years in detention kalita. gerard was arrested in 2019 and an overnight raid on her home. she was accused of inciting violence under belonging to a band organisation. in july, she was refused permission to attend the funeral of her daughter. moving on and demonstrators and sudan have blocked 2 oil pipelines in protest against a peace deal with rebel groups. it's happening in the eastern city of ports who don, the ministry of energy says there are enough results to last up to 10 days. last october, several rebel group signed the piece deal with 2 dawns,

transitional government. but protesters from the badger tribes say that agreement ignores their interests. him, morgan has more now from call to and all goes back to october, 2020, which is about a year ago when a group of opposition, an armed group, signed a peace agreement with the sudanese government. after months of negotiations. now the b to tribe is one of the main tribe that is counting ethan sedan and they have rejected this piece agreement, saying that it is not representative. and as does not address the root causes of marginalization and of under development in the eastern region. now it's worth noting that there are b to cries or beecher groups that did sign an agreement with the student needs transitional government. but those currently brought blocking the route and highways leading to the recipes. they say that the group that signed an agreement with the transitional government does not represent them. so there's an issue of who exactly represents the beach or tribe right now. the be a group of elders or the council of the beach or elders have loved the main road

that leads to the rest the states, as well as the road that leads to the main ports, blocking that port effectively on, on, on saturday they also block the pipelines causing economic destruction. this is something that has caused so much concern that members of the sovereignty council and the executive council here in the transitional government, have flown to the to, to the rest, the state capital of port down to try me, go see it with the processors to open the road that need for the state, but also to open the airports as well as the ports to make sure that the operation and the economic activities continue to make sure that the country that is suffering from an economic crisis does not suffer further. now 11 years of conflict in northern nigeria have left hundreds of thousands of children, their traumatized doctors, and many other caregivers are concerned about the long term effects on young children. i'm going to just report from my degree i born and raised in book when i'm kim's,

these children i experiencing for the 1st time. what it means to be a child. they are part of the 6000 victims and family members of what i'm fighters, who surrender tonight, durham security forces in the past few months. after a few weeks of psychological support. those helping them are surprised by the rapid transformation they see. you see a lot of them coming into the base, looking very distress team can hungry what we coughing gauge meant because we get them for 3 months, sometimes depending on how we see they wouldn't, ability and all of that. so we offer the engagement to see a lot of changes. you see them interacting better. you see them taking leadership role doing much better for these children, born and raised in bulk when i'm camps. why toys forbidden this moment of fun is a work of many children here in the northeast. they were born into this conflict. they have never known

a life that is outside of conflict. there are children born into this place counts . and for them this is normal. this is not normal social workers one, but it's a difficult process. sunday said may never know the joy of childhood. only a small fraction of the over 5000000 children affected by the both and i'm complex . overseas income, psychological or social support never left is causing that much one. but unless you've received the help they need now. no, i mean didn't. i could be facing a bigger crisis when the, when i was nearly a 1000000 children out of school in niger northeast. most of them in most states that i concern say, may be targeted for recruitment. my uncle, if he's not that he the impact to be very be because this has to then of 5 he to 17 and only says and they need to go back to school. they need to integrate bonds

to family or friends. integrate or does it work if they time is running out for hundreds of thousands of children? and this is, they say could be the reality tv communities in nigeria. ne, why, but what i'm still continues to go into to tax it. reese, i'll do my duty now, the un says afghanistan is facing economic collapse without immediate assistance and humanitarian aid. billions of dollars of ass, con assets are frozen in foreign banks. shops had report though, of me as the sold land at home in all his thoughts of his textile company. 40 years ago. he says he has since invested half a $1000000.00 in the factory. close afghan and foreign companies use to buy the clothes and scarves. it makes the business as virtually ground to

a halt. in recent weeks when the tale bonds have control of off gun histone. in august, the us froze nearly $10000000.00 of gun assets filled abroad. taliban leaders were forced to restrict cash withdrawals from local banks. puzzle. good, because the other palate bond taliban government has to reopen the financial institutes, mileage so people can withdraw enough money to buy materials for their businesses. and the international community needs to soften their attitude. the stalemate badly effect everyday people. a lot of the calendar is one of the factories, few employees who still comes to work on paid he for the soviet army. when it invaded afghanistan in the 1980s. he never dreamed he would still be struggling to support his family. 40 years later, he saw that it was caught up, the country is in a terrible state. the security situation is improved, but there are no jobs. there's no happiness in life, no joy,

the country is amiss. the factory employs around 30 women work in a separate room from the men. some employees fled the country on evacuation flights . when the taliban took control. no ab shows me a video of men he used to pay to collect move for him. in the northern city of muslim sharif and so we can't afford them right now around a 100 people are employed at this factory. but as you can see, it's just down today to a skeleton staff. and one of the big problems the company is facing. is it one of its main overseas clients is refusing to buy the products at this company makes because the taxes that this company will pay on the profits that it makes. now go to the new taliban government. foreign companies nervous about dealing with the afghan business partners. that's because foreign governments won't recognize the taliban government,

as some of its members are on terrorism and un sanction lists. 29 year old entrepreneur of the law. he spent a $1000000.00 on what he says is the largest wool spinning machine, and i've got to stop. he finally got it up and running 3 months ago, but was forced to suspend operations earlier this month because foreign and local clients canceled orders. and some investors fled the country with their cash. i endeavor work because i had big plans to buy more machinery, but i am dedicated to my community and but the current situation is hopefully all my employees are forced to sit at home because i can not pay them. no ob says he wants to help his workers, families build a new canister for the time being. he and many african business owners like him have no choice but to put their dreams on hold tal stafford out his era cobble while in spain's canary islands. the volcanic eruption of the palmer is continuing

to destroy property. there were 7000 people have been forced to leave their homes and the government has promised aid to those effected nickos. hock is on the ground forth in the palm because of the wind direction. you can see i'm no longer wearing the glasses i was wearing earlier on and the air is there's less ash into the air it sees were on the north side of the volcanoes. so on the side where the airport is, this has given way for the airport to be reopened. it's another story when you're on the south side where the wind is blowing and interesting enough. if you look at the volcano right behind you, the one side you see this, a gray clouds reaching up for kilometers into this guy. really see all sorts of, of gases from sulfur dioxide to oxygen to menu him and calcium. and then next to it is a white smoke coming out and that's where a fuse of lava hot magna love. it's pouring down the slope. and that's what

that's is the focus for the geologist there on the ground. because there's already this river of lava it bouncing slowly towards the ocean. and with this fluid love of the fear is that it's going to advance even closer to the ocean. it's moving a currently at the rate of 30 meters an hour slowly. it has built 2 kilometers to go. so in the short run, what's happening here is that people are evacuated, homes are being destroyed. entire villages have disappeared, have been swallowed by that river of lava and it's unclear whether they're going to be allowed to be to come by can, because as i mentioned, this is quite temperamental. things could change it at any moment. ok, hello again. this is al jazeera and these are the headlines. holes of closed in germany is general election. exit polls show the 2 main parties. the s p d and cd. you are tied with 25 percent each. this is the 1st vote in 16 years where
