situation on the ground seems to be pointing, otherwise we listen. we were never on whatever road to off migration. we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories on sierra ah job us military officer. it means to a strategic failure in afghanistan and tells congress to favor keeping a small force. ah, hello, i'm emily angland. this is al jazeera, alive from jo house to coming up. i'm sorry, i'm sorry for what was done to you. the world health organization valves to punish stop the accused of sexual abuse or working in the democratic republic of congo.

lava from a rocking volcano on the spanish island of la palmer has reached the shore of the land to ocean and the latest james phone film premiers in london with intimate hoping it'll sparkle with surgeons after the demand ah a strategic value. that's how the top us military officer has described the end of its 20 year war in afghanistan. general mark miley and secretary of defense lloyd austin, testified at congressional hearings which focused on the chaos withdrawal of troops and the taliban take over. last month. petticoats have reports from capitol hill are the ones in will move the top military brass walking a fine line,

but up here into public good question. their boss, us president, version of events in afghan is dan, how you doing president joe biden had said he couldn't recall any military adviser recommending he troops in afghanistan before he ordered the withdrawal. the top military bosses appeared to contradict that won't share my personal recommendation of the present, but i will give you my honest opinion and my honest opinion and view shaped my recommendation. i recommended that we maintain 2500 troops in afghanistan. the white house responded. i would note today in the testimony that was given by secretary austin by general milly, they may clear secretary austin specifically said if he stayed there a pot force posture of 25. hundreds. certainly be in a fight with the taliban, and you'd have to reinforce from the senators dooley narratives over which president is to blame for the chaos. donald trump, who made a deal with the taliban to take troops out, or president biden,

who set the date for removal. anyone who says the last few months were a failure, but everything before that was great. clearly hasn't been paying attention because of the date, certain rather than a conditions based withdrawl because of a decision that was made by our president. because of that, we laugh american citizens behind. so what went wrong? this hearing didn't produce any real answers, but the military admitted here something did. we have the state, mr. chairman, but we could not for donation. the fact that the afghan army, that we and our partner strained, simply melted away in many cases without firing a shot, took us all by surprise, and it would be dishonest to claim. otherwise, the pentagon is conducting its own review of its action. but some senator say that's not enough. they're calling for the creation of an independent commission that can look at what went wrong, not just at the end, but during the entirety of america, the longest particle have al jazeera washington came. it served as

assistant secretary of state for political military affairs. he says it will be crucial to understand how president biden missed the general's recommendation. the general's made, the recommendation is probably a national security council meeting. the president may or may not have been there. but in any case, his own staff had the responsibility brief, president biden, on the conduct of those meetings and those recommendations that came from his military and secretary defense. so either president biden was not informed for which. ready some of his people ought to be held responsible for he was inform, misunderstood what the commanders on the ground in the us military was saying, i think we've got to stand back and realize that we bought inside about can span for 20 years. we went into file, kind of, we defeated all kind of, we brought in blogging to justice,

but with this collapse that we're seeing and i can't stand right now. candidly, all of the successes. and all of the effort that we put into afghanistan has now been reversed. the worst possible outcome would be that the taliban allowed al qaeda, isis, k, and other terrorist groups to come back into afghanistan and take advantage of uncovered spaces with an afghanistan to set up training camps and plot future attacks in both europe and the united states. so that's the greatest danger we have in our ability to control that. i think general milly was saying limits. meanwhile, the taliban says it plans to implement a constitution from nearly 6 decades ago. i've got some new rulers will apply it only if it doesn't conflict with a version of mac law. the car constitution was drawn up with the help of the us and 2004. the taliban said he doesn't want foreign interference. and in an exclusive

statement to al jazeera on taliban spokesmen to hail shaheen says they still intend to create a new inclusive constitution. constitution is a need of a safety guarantee in one sunday was what june? because of the lack of constitution. now the farmer and kings time constitution announced to be open to is on $1010.00 basis. we will work on a new constitution in a free at once. the error in an independent applying is done. we are intending all basic rights of the avalon people will be enshrined in the coming constitutions. the rest of the day and the head of the world health organization is promising. we're phones and accountability after allegations of sexual abuse by work is sent to fight a bowler in democratic republic of congo. the un agency is apologize to victims

following a report which is described as harrowing and heartbreaking it date out at least a few cases of abuse by w. h o. employees and i work a separate investigations into the same allegations have been launched by unicef and the international organization for migration. i'm sorry, i'm sorry for what was done to you by people who are employed by w jo to serve and protect you. i'm sorry for the ongoing suffering that this event must cause. i'm sorry that you have hard to really to relieve them in talking to the commission about your experiences. but this isn't the 1st time you and agencies have been accused of sexual abuse. they have more than 800 allegations of sexual exploitation or abuse reported in un missions globally since 2010. the most infamous case was

a child at 6 trafficking ring set up by her lankin u. n. co pays cape is in hyfi between 20042007. in 2014 many abuses have been reported in central african republic, former un secretary general ben kramer encoded a cancer in our system. the code blue campaign by the aides for world group is calling for accountability for the abuse. it says the you and regular miss handles cases of sexual exploitation. and paula donovan is the co director of the aides free world group. she says the latest allegations of sexual abuse need to be passed on to the place. the world health organization has no authority to investigate criminal allegations of any kind. and it's preposterous that they should wait after receiving reports of abuse by their own personnel until the farm dose investigations, to bidders, and hired a firm and appointed their own commission. and done some very basic. what's the

commission itself called prima pharmacy, or on 1st impression investigating to determine whether or not crimes had been committed. this is, this was not a criminal investigation, and it should have been from the very outset turned over to, to legal authorities who can actually conduct criminal investigation. there's never been any accountability through a process like the one that w h o undertook and then never will be because it's simply not possible. the w h o cannot hold people criminally accountable, but also the, the w h o itself has been implicated. so the, these commissioners who were again selected the, the heads of the commission were selected by the head of w h o himself and and then. busy they conducted their investigation through people . a firm that was hired by w h o. lava from the volcano in the spanish island of la palmer has now reached the

atlantic ocean fees and live pitches where a huge cloud of toxic vapor and gas has been released into the air. as the lava mixes would say water, spain has declared the island in the marys a disaster design. more than a week after the erupt in the country set aside an initial $12000000.00 to help rebuild hundreds of homes destroyed by love. nicholas hark has the latest from the pomo. the much anticipated thermal shock. it's currently taking place with this lava the 1000 degrees celsius, hitting the ocean authorities right now, are quickly monitoring the situation and trying to figure out what is this, how is this affecting the population. you have plumes of smoke going up into the air. we were just on the port moment ago and the spanish gorgeous sea build pushed all of the people that were there to watch the spectacle out of the port. i have

told people to stay on log down to where goggles cover their mouth stay close as much as possible, not exposing your arms because in the air is north of gases such as sulfur dioxide . now they're monitoring the level of sulfur dioxide from these toxic gases also is hydro chloride, and in other gas is emitted by this volcano. opposition politicians into nivia have warned the call. so widespread protests unless the president reverse is moved to save power for political parties, a form to coalition, to oppose. chi said they say his last legitimacy after carrying out what they describe as occurred last week said, announced he'd rule by decree and ignore parts of the constitution. then it's smith has more from chinese or the dina, and the presenting united front against a precedent. they say is illegitimate for political parties, a warning chi side,

but he must back track on his decision to seize executive power 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 decreed. 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 nada says the president should call elections to prove, he has a mandate. why should one person says that he can embody the will 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 then 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. emily say that could work in the new coalitions favor with the typical mac rises that we are going to see the ethics of it's in the upcoming weeks

and months. 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 said 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, i'll just 0 jonas. still ahead on al jazeera. we look at how the pandemic is causing a spike in the number of children being traffic in india and cuba is control of the economy has failed to deliver new reform for businesses. ah,

child trafficking operation. but the activists leave without the children they came for. sanjay. sather traveled more than 230 kilometers from the city of that bunker to pool near to find his 13 year old brother don. good. um, sanchez has gone. got arm has been held in the slam by the traffickers for several months. so there might be a good job. my brother is working at the processing unit and he has a movie. i like, he's not there on his own. been, even if he or others like him tried to talk to a family member. they're always listening. like an increasing number of people in the eastern state of be hard. those in the slammer often forced to work for little processing. one of the regions biggest exports, low to seeds behind the world's largest producer of low to see which are known as fox not once have been roasted. the popularity of the seeds is growling in india and broad. but children are being used to meet the rising demand

with more than 2000000 workers aged between 5 and 17. b hard has the can highest number of child and adolescent work as in india, many a traffic. it is one of the greatest cell in this be facing. see what is happening that this area, or near the street is bothering the street, got less than one, and it is getting the knotted. so we are facing major issues of child trafficking and some of the children are employed in the sector. also. the latest crime figures suggest that human trafficking cases in india declined by more than 20 percent in the past year. but many sharma says that's not right. as many cases aren't registered, definitely who bodies and coming during the pending trafficking has increased many for often because of the covered 19 people lost jobs, and traffickers has used it to their advantage. their locals, the identify,

paid and lost their job, loan the money, and later traffic the children and push them into child labor. i left the man rested in the room on the remains of custody while he's investigated on suspicion of human trafficking and charm. but rights group, se, until the government addresses the root causes of the crime, poverty, poor education, combined with an understaffed police force and the tories, the slow justice system. and these children will continue to be at risk of human trafficking. elizabeth moran and al jazeera pulled nea be hard. russia has launched a new criminal case against gerald opposition later alexandra vomiting. the prominent kremlin critic is being investigated on suspicion of forming and leading an extremist group. if convicted, he could face up to 10 years in prison. he's already behind bob's parole. violations accord has already outlawed novalis,

anti corruption foundation as extremist. his allies are also under investigation. they say the case is absurd. if they just think there's some donation. this is undoubtedly a form of political pressure as we've never been any kind of extremist. we took part in elections, participated, and peaceful protests against injustice. we worked on investigations that received dozens of millions of views on youtube about the corruption of officials will make a person and has in circles. the story is the fact that this happened a week after the elections shows. this is a clear blow in response to the small voting that we organized, stay engaged in voter fraud, but that isn't enough. they also need to clear out the political failed. it's not a message, it's a direct blow kind of statement saying you are enemy and we will crush you. still in russia and the country has recorded hives, them were daily corona, virus fatalities. since the pandemic began 852 people have died in the past 24

hours and more than 21000 new infections have been confirmed. dela cases started climbing early this month after millions of russian students went back to school and university health authority, se they'll tide and controls around mosque wearing. just tried to stop a 4th wave. his once solid wall of state control is cracking is the country faces its worst economic and political crisis. since the collapse of the soviet union, new laws have gone into effect, allowing small and medium size private businesses to operate and trade with the world for the 1st time. our latin america editor, lucy, and human found this report. for more than half a century cubic communist economy has been frozen in time and not running nearly as well as these iconic vintage cars. digging back to before the 1959 revolution, the level of the form i will put now at last. the government is opening the door

for cubans like carlos miguel british to start small to medium sized private companies with up to $100.00 employees. when he hourly business is the director and founder of dolph lenny a software company that until now has been unable to expand an export its products login of the lot. but when aliya really, this will give us legal status as a company before we have to use our own name and capital. now we can have partners and hopefully access loans and trade internationally as a private company. 53 years ago. fidel castro, eliminated all vestiges of private businesses. eventually, as the economy floundered, individual entrepreneurs were allowed to open family restaurants and rent rooms, which could be opened or closed at a whim. but in july, unprecedented match demonstrations against economic hardships, convinced communist party leaders to finally move forward with wider reforms. a

recognition that their model of total state control of the economy had failed to deliver the goods. you're going to get sick sick. i mean, i think that of cuba really wants to achieve concrete results, has to move towards the vietnam style mixed economy. we aren't vietnamese, but it's what we're able to deliver the goods and services and jobs that people are waiting for. it's a novel idea in cuba, but entrepreneurs like carlos miguel paid his place problems such as obtaining finance and come to the bankrupt by passing red tape. and above all, increasingly tough us. he could make sanctions ever ok or not somebody gonna know solomon, do us economic embargo doesn't just punish the state sector even as a private businessman, no us bank will transfer money to me here. i can't use online platforms that are vital for the development of my business. our fledgling private sector is, is blocked by us sanctions as cuba state run sector. so we're at a tremendous disadvantage. but despite all the difficulties,

he's counting on the same cuban ingenuity that has kept these cars going for so long to help his eyelid nations swim through these unchartered waters. to see in human al jazeera, the long delayed premier air of the 25th james bond movie, no time to die has taken place in london. bond active, daniel craig, is the star attraction in the 5th and final acting. as the famous favorite agent in premier will postponed 3 times because the corona virus with them is being shut down to the pandemic industries, hoping this latest installment of bond will help it recover in the grand scheme of things that over to over low down the list of priorities thought this is olivia needs to be seen in the cinema and i'm just incredibly grateful to m g m and about holding them here. and film critic rebecca perfect says the popularity of the bond
