ah, ah, clinics the age of battle coded 19 mountains of medical ways piling up the one on 18th to investigate this dangerous pandemic for one al jazeera ah grilled about the chaotic withdrawal from my dentist on us defense officials, all facing shelter. questions from dentist. ah, so there i'm hand, this is your life. and also coming, announcing a coalition against the president, a group of political parties together in june is due to leadership. we apologize to

these people are women and the girls for the suffering that they have had vowing strong action. the w h. r. leadership responds to sexual abuse allegations in democratic republic of congo, and spain declares the island of the palma, a disaster zone, as a volcano continues to few folk. ah, ah, well, we begin in the united states where sentences are grilling senior defense officials about the withdrawal of military forces from afghanistan and the collapse of the african governance defense secretary lloyd austin, joint chiefs of staff chairman loc millie and the head of central command, general kenneth mackenzie are all testifying. the biden administration has been widely accused of being unprepared for the fall of couple. senior officials have since had misses the taliban force as advanced far more quickly than they anticipated. so we help build the state mister chairman,

but we could not for donation. the fact that the afghan army that we in our partner strain simply melted away in many cases without firing a shot, took us all by surprise. and it would be just honest a claim. otherwise, we need to consider some uncomfortable truths that we didn't fully comprehend the depth of corruption and poor leadership and the senior ranks that we didn't gras damaging effect effect of frequent and unexplained rotations by president ghani of his commanders. that we didn't anticipate the snowball collect effect caused by the deals that the taliban commanders struck with local leaders in a wake of the doha agreement. and that the doha agreement itself had a demoralizing effect on afghan soldiers. well, let's bring in a correspondent party call hands. he is watching proceedings for us on capitol hill . patsy. there's obviously been some very pointed questioning on everything from

civilian casualties to intelligence failures, to the us about you ation a lot of tough questions. not a whole lot of answers. one very interesting thing that came up early during this hearing. now, just taking a quick lunch break is that we heard from both the general that they did. in fact, they imply that they did, in fact, tell the president joe biden, that he should teach 2500 trips there. the reason that's a little bit notable is that the president passed interview had said none of his military commanders had recommended keeping troops in afghanistan. he could recall to obviously that's going to be a question for the white house press secretary. but really, what we're seeing here is a lot of angry senators demanding answers and not really getting any you heard there from the secretary of defense, say, obviously we made some mistakes. the chairman, the joint chiefs of staff, mark, milly, he said the intelligence was bad. and he said one reason that might have been is because they took trainers out of those african units through years ago. so well

they can know how many tanks they had. they couldn't know exactly how hard they would fight because they were americans or contractors in those units getting a sense of how they were feeling. so a lot of like going around, but there's one big question they keep asking is you still protect the homeland from an attack and we must continue to protect united states of america and its people from terrorist attacks coming from the dentist in a reconstituted al qaeda or isis with aspirations to attack the united states is a very real possibility. and those conditions do include activity in ungoverned spaces, could present themselves in the next 12, the 36 months. that mission will be much harder now, but not impossible. and we will continue to protect the american people. the chairman, during his staff, took an unusual sort of try and circumvent criticism that he was going to get from

republicans that he is still getting. basically, it was a book by journalist bob woodward, really painted the picture of mark mark really, really going behind president trump back. that was the implication by calling his chinese counterpart. he is defending that saying he was done with the full approval and authorization of the trump administration, that that is his job to do that. and really, i think a lot of people expected that he would be taking a lot more criticism than it is on that score. but he sent the message out very early that people who are in the room, this is my job. i will give you all of the, you know that all of the transcripts, so you can see for yourself as you how, hey, there was all the latest for from capitol hill. thanks so much. patty. well meanwhile in afghanistan, the taliban says it's planning to implement a constitution from nearly 6 decades ago. i've got a song, the rule is one to apply it only where it doesn't conflict with the version of islamic law and the existing constitution withdrawn up with the help of the us back

in 2004. but taliban says at once, no foreign interference moving on and a group of political party isn't you? nicea has announced a coalition to oppose the president. the group says, can you say it has lost his legitimacy accusing him of a qu. last week, the president announced a rule by decree and ignore parts of the constitution, alexia bryan report. what had been presenting a united front against a precedent? they say is illegitimate. for political part is a warning chi side, but he must back track on his decision to seize executive power could be or if the president has taken everything, he has canceled everything. even the institution for sorting out these problems like fighting corruption, all these entities have been closed by the president. there's no parliament. there's no committee for overseeing laws. there's no government. yeah, demonstrations have already been held against president saeed. who last week

announced he'd rule by decree. and ignore parts of the constitution. but after he sacked the prime minister and suspended parliament in july, on monday to unity as foreign minister told the un general assembly that the president was acting with the will of the people that were in was unhappy, too dangerous situation, threatening our country and community is attribute to a deeply rooted political polarization and a social comic and health crisis. this is why the president of the republic had to interfere and take a series of exceptional resolutions and measures based on our constitution to put the contra back on the right path towards democracy and all the largest political party and not a says the president should call elections to prove, he has a mandate. why should one person says that he can a buddy one of the people? so if he is with, with the will of the people and if he is expressing their will have people,

he has no authority or for elections and let the people decide local and international human rights groups. a warning of a slide towards authoritarianism. while the development in july were broadly popular to month own, people are growing frustrated by what they see is a lack of progress. analysts say that could work in the new coalitions favor with the typical mach rises, but we are going to see the ethics of it's in the upcoming woodson mounts. they would seize maybe the opportunity to show that, unfortunately, even by a power grab even by the gathering or the powers prison fight is unable to find the really crisis of the conditions that are social problems, economy, etc. in the 2 months since case fight seized power, political parties and civil society groups here, say the president hasn't approached any of them. now they say they're reminding him again, that back here and that he should talk to them. and listen. bernard smith,

filling up from the connecting the work future. they gotta come to gateway to whoa trade. oh, the me watching out there, let's remind you about top stories, the south top military officials all testifying before congress about the withdrawal of troops from the kind of stone and the collapse of the afghan government. the biden administration has been widely accused of being unprepared for the fall of couple a group of political parties in june as he is forming a coalition to oppose the president. the group says kind of say it has lost just in

the sea and accuses him of carrying out of the world health organization chief tedra holly, i'm gabrielle, has apologized after alleged sexual abuse by stuff and democratic republic of congo . an independent panel found at least 8 cases of sexual abuse by aid workers during the ebola outbreak from 2018. well, we can now speak passing mobile alma, she is the found an executive director of the action and development initiative for the protection of women and children. she joins us now from gamma pass. you're speaking to us from easton, d. c, a part of the well that seen some of the highest levels of sexual violence against women. i'm guessing that you are not surprised by the outcome of this panel. and that it's really just the tip of the iceberg. hi, yeah, for one. yeah. i think it's, we've broken that, we find that this report for me just come acceptable.

these to happen where you might carry on are responsible, sexual souls and sexual exploitation of women and children into the cottage republic of congo. you may know there is to be picked up by cold sheets for so many years for more than to be kate and joe acceptable that you might need. tony can still be responsible or fix your picture expeditions on women and children. i'm on. i think i got, as you monetary and we have to protect women and children, we have the responsibility to protect women and children. and in that you have seen, we have seen women and children are more of renewable and do more

of the war and the conflicts we have seen in region for so many years. and do one or the money will be responsible for the exploitation and abuse. have to be punished for what they have done on leman ventures on. well, let me ask you, then how about the response? because the w h o says it's hot broken. they fired what 4 people and they're promising reform of their systems. now this all sounds like it took the leadership by surprise, but we're actually talking about systemic sexual exploitation here that took place over a number of years. and he ted ross himself made 14 trips there during the last about the outbreak and actually publicly commended individuals have actually been named by victims and of a senior w h o official who was informed in writing of this abuse and did nothing ended up being promoted so let me ask you, then as someone who works there on the ground,

is it possible for abuse like this to go on without senior people and organizations knowing and yeah, i think most of the time, those people who are doing such as asking use mostly the power, you know, to try to abuse children and women, you know, most women and children have c 4 r bo and they tried to use their, their ability to exploit and abuse them. and i think as you many times we should not have used remember, should run. we should make sure that this people who are suffering because of war and the co fees are protected by not only the government which has the structure ability to protect women and children. against those kind

of the form of sexual expedition and sexual abuse, but also by you many who are so head there is for ability to support and help people. we go to our view again. patsy. this is obviously not a new issue. un peacekeepers. we're also found for sexually abused women in the d. c. back in 2017 oxfam staff, also phase some allocations. you mentioned this big power dynamic, this big difference in terms of vulnerable women and the power that aid workers have. how do you actually address something like that, that big chasm of power that actually allows this to happen? yeah, i think we are doing it very important work. i'm the show my organization

military li then monday, doing boy will be president until a civilian government is elected. demoya has been under pressure to hold these elections after the military coup on september 5th. or right now there are more than 10000000 children out of school in niger area because of a lack of facilities and a lack of teachers and ongoing conflict. but now new schools have been built in borne stays, and attendance is increasing. now across the country, 9000000 pupils are benefiting from a free school meals program address reports. now from my degree after years of disruptions, these high school students write their finally eye examinations. 6 years ago, most of them were either displaced persons camps on the street. what little hope of completing high school they were forced from schools like these attacked and damaged by the armed group book was ideology is to fight west in education and

influences. schooling became completely impossible even we didn't do that time because most of the infrastructure of schools had become comes then we had to roll in at that time, what was called education on that emergency. gradually, we much out of that. you might just see face and now we are walking towards the stabilize ation. face is a challenge so much apply. infrastructure has been destroyed, you know, was it becomes a disaster. it exceeds coping capacity. this is now the face, of course in northern nigeria, support no state. the epi center of the conflict, all structures rehabilitated and new ones constructed dozens of storage buildings like this have been built tubs of as many out of school children as possible. still tens of thousands more unable to access education. the government is unable to

construct or rehabilitate schools in areas whether a significant threat from local school enrollment is up. but the figures nowhere near what it was before the conflict again, the united nations children's fun says more than a 1000000 children. what targeted for enrollment in the 1st 4 months of this year. but less than half that number. why able to attend class? because of the lack of facilities and security concerns experts, one than i didn't government to prioritize safety stupidity of boss width or tended to be enrolled. that the most important t dash is security should be guaranteed. and that of their teachers. you can just give indication to those in the above areas, neglecting those in it. so those into now of it are going by because they know to fit in that is

you can no longer rely on the u. s. and he's hoping europeans must stop being naive when we are under pressure from powers who harden their approaches, reacting and showing that we to have power and the capacity to defend ourselves does not mean giving way to escalation means making ourselves respected. we must admit that for more than 10 years us focus is a loss on itself and has strategic interest. that of pivoting towards china and the pacific is micro regards the aka steel. as a wakeup call for europeans, athens clearly agrees the us and u. k. had also bid to build war ships, the grief, but mid so talk is said frances vessels were chosen not only for their technology, but to support an alloy and european interests. natasha butler. i'll just sarah paris. all calendars, catholic church has pledged $30000000.00 to help survivors of the residential schools that operated until the 1990 s. schools like this one in british columbia
