[000:00:00;00] aah! al jazeera with whoa, whoa! and telephone says it's talking to the u. s. on improving relations, but as made clay, it's anger about america's drone operations in afghanistan. ah, by money and fight, this is out there. a lie from dough also coming up. end of an era, or is it outgoing philippine present? rodrigo detached, a says he's retiring from politics ahead of next year's elections. voting takes

place in casa in the country's 1st legislative election. on the 4th of nature, the eruption from le hom as well, k no intensifies shooting wall, molten lava and toxic gas across the island. ah, we begin in afghanistan where the taliban says it's speaking directly to the us about building relations more than a month after american and foreign forces withdrew from the country. but in an interview with al jazeera, the tele bonds, foreign affairs spokesman denounced us drone operations in afghan as space their violation of our territorial integrity of afghanistan. it is a blatant and a clear violation. it is against the commitments that the united states of america

made in the doha agreement. the doha agreement clearly stipulates that to the united states and or other countries as well. its allies will not interfere in internal affairs, offer up the understand. they are not only violating their own commitments, but they are also violating international law. more on this, let's go live town correspond hash and about laura in kabul will say the taliban is denouncing us activity in afghan air space, but it's also now speaking directly with washington. what should we make of all this? well, basically, marlene, this is what is happening now. the taliban saying that they have intercepted the u . s. drones flying over afghanistan's air space over the last few weeks. and that the, the want this practice to stop because they signed an agreement with the americans in doha, there,

year last year there was conducive to her tale bonds are forming a government here and also the americans putting guards from afghanistan. and there were hoping to see some signs from the americans that we are willing to diplomatically recognize the government led by the taliban. that is perhaps a going to take some time because the americans are looking for strong steps from the taliban, particularly when it's coming to an inclusive government. reaching out to minorities women and also are clamping done on a hider and the ice k, which is an affiliate of these like states in their live and for the americas. until all those conditions are met. they won't be able to recognize their tentative, and on the other hand, the taliban se told me that the got some messages from different keep play as internationally. that is going to be just a matter of time. before that recognition comes into effect. and asked him in the center,

he also discussed the rights of women and girls. what have the taliban got to say on that? well, the prussia has been piling up all their tally than for the last few weeks because in the government there's no women in that government. thee took those decisions about restricting girls education. they are not allowing female secondary students from going to school as people are telling them this is not helpful. and there's absolutely no way you can get access to the international market to the international community unless you address those issues. but here's the problem. money within that taliban itself? there is that debate? there is a divide about how to move forward. should that taliban reform itself? should the taliban reinvent itself? should that taliban understand that in this well in 2021? there is absolutely no way you can get international recognition if you continue to

deny girls access to schools. let's listen to what are the hot or bol, he had to say about this particular issue. we have committed and we have guaranteed all the rights that have been afforded to women in islam. that is the right to education, the right to health care, the right to work. and are they the, the process that the world wants us are the steps they want, want us to take, we are taking them, we have seen progress in them. we understand all the complexities, offer off the of the current world or we understand it very well. and are we are working? oh, but again, i must emphasize that as the saying sit goes, the room was not built in a day. how so much help our reporting there for us in campbell. now the outgoing

philippine president rodrigo detach has announced he is retiring from politics. he confirmed he won't stand for the vice presidency and next year's elections despite speculation, to the contrary. to today's constitutionally prohibited from standing for president . again, he says there's overwhelming public sentiment that trying to become vice president would violate the spirit of the constitution. jamila adding dugan has more from manila whether the terror does claim that he's going to retire from politics will impact the 2022 elections remain to be seen. that is because there is still around 6 days to go before the ending of the filing of candidacy. and there is still up to november 15th, where parties and candidates are allowed to switch candidates. this is a multi party system where you can have as many as 76 candidates in a presidential elections where you can have those backing out, supporting another others pledging allegiance, and pulling out

a loyalty alliances. at this point, it is definitely too early to tell, and it was the 3rd it did today president through the good that there is switching and changing his mind is quintessentially the 3rd day. this is his political style . but what remains to be seen is who will field, who will be the administration bet for the 2022 presidential elections. there is still no opposition candidate. and even his former ally boxer minute bucket has already pulled out. so again, it remains to be seen, it will take several months before we truly know who really has a strong chance of becoming the next president of the philippines. georgia is full and the president mikhail is soccer. she really has spent the night in detention after returning from exile to support the opposition for elections. he was arrested just alice, after arriving in the country. he was seen smiling as police. take him into custody . such as really had called on people to vote against the governing party in saturdays local election,

and then to go on to whole street protests. he was convicted in absentia in 2018 for a beast of power, but insists the case was politically motivated. robin fortune walker has moved from tbilisi. nobody expected that because such beauty was going to show up on the elite, on the eve of these elections, he has in the past they did, he would come to georgia. this time he said he would fly in to night. well, he said, surprised. everybody showed up yesterday morning. then everybody was running. where was he? was he really here? what impact, what was he going to be able to achieve on the loose in georgia is a wanted man in any announcement last night that he had been arrested. what this goes to show is how much of an influence this man continues to exert over the george and political scene. and whether or not his reappearance in georgia is going to somehow ignite a passions here and get more people to come out and vote. he's a divisive figure,

and so there are many georgians who may feel that this is the chance now to deliver change in georgia and show their objection to discover their will. so george's, who will be very put off by suckers, video return. the got enough of, of, of, of his involvement in the jordan political scene. and so that may work in the govern government favor with, with their supporters. emboldened to come out and show that they still support this government. it's still the most popular policy of parked in georgia consistently in the polls. several percentage points ahead of recall suckers, really? opposition party, the united national movement. the citizens of cat, all casting their ballads in the gulf, nations fuss, legislative elections. they electing members to the sure a council. it has a 45 seat advisory body, and until now all its members have been appointed by the amir. but 30 seats, or 2 thirds will now be decided by voters. the council dates back to 1972. it's

responsible for proposing laws approving budgets and can even sac ministers. but the emir still holds veto power as varying levels of elected representation across the gulf, bahrain and oman hold elections for one house of their parliaments. kuwait is often regarded as the 1st gulf monarchy to give substantial palace to an elective parliament. handled with dies a full mature, a council member. she says cat, i once it's people more engaged in how the gulf countries run. i believe strongly. it's very important for caught up to be, to be taken, disturb. it's a very historical, a step towards or moving, or you know, the whole society into more active political participation and more specifically into the civic or society societal participation and to more powerful early distillation. taken into account the very significant role of the shorter council, as it does later, buddy,

which walks hand in hand with the cabinet or the government or proposing and she'll wink of the legislation after the 2017, the author of looking at the crisis. ah, i believe, ah, that the political maturity among the quarterly people have been raised very, very carefully and very are mature to the extent that it's not about that other people are, you know, asking for such will election. even though we've been listening to some voices from the elite pupil, however, it's more about top bottom approach that being supported and initiated by but by the, the, the political leadership. ah, but you know, i again, going back to what's going on when it comes to looking to different strategies, you know, and different and campaigned by the different candidates. ah, i can see that such are input. i would say input are and tick, you know, time after time more the elections and the more generations come to this search what i can. so i can see that the civic of a civil or in engagement and such political participation is going to be,

are more mature and even more active towards building a real, a civil society of one of the country. still a head on out as a nurse with the u. s. president, l divide and colleagues to push through as government overhaul no matter how long it take calls for investigation. and the shooting of a were hang, a leader inside the world's largest refugee. ah, it's another beautiful sunny day of 35000 feet. the weather sponsored by cutter airways voted world's best air line of 2021. hello there. let's start in east asia and the final warning has been issued for typhoon min delay as it pulls off to the north east, away from japan. would it see some pretty rough conditions across some of the islands,

thanks to that wet and windy weather with some coastal flooding. but that has cleared it is looking lot finer and dryer for much of the south. and central areas such as han shoe and the temperature in tokyo is expected to hit 30 degrees by the time getting to monday with plenty of sunshine coming through. but for the korean peninsula, it is going to turn wet at thanks to that weather system that's pulsing pockets of rain across central and northeastern areas of china. we could see some flooding all way from such one province up to shang dawn as that heavy rain continues. but further south of this, it is looking hotter. 35 degrees in we'll have lots of sunshine for shanghai and it is going to dry up in hong kong in the days to come. now was new to south asia. we think very well whether indeed across southern parts of pakistan as that super psych like storm moves off towards the gulf of a man. it why is that for new delhi but it is looking rather wet in the north east . we have got an amber warning up for heavy rain for parts of a some,

and that could affect nipple and neighboring bangladesh. that sure update. the weather, sponsored by cattle airways, voted world's best air line of 2021. frank assessment is likely to change biking behavior at all. it's not going to change their behavior. they are going to continue to do what they do and in depth analysis of the days, global headlights. inside story on al jazeera, how many nukes has too many new comerica had in many ways driven the arms written parties are much more like the british parties about to the. there are a few regulations to own a tiger than there are to own a dog. how can this be happening? your weekly take on us politics and society, and that's the bottom line. ah

ah welcome back you watching out. as a reminder on top stories this out, the taliban says it's speaking directly to the us about building relations about the taliban. foreign affairs spokesman denounced us dry operations in afghanistan. space is a violation of international law. the outgoing philippine president rodrigo to tell you has announced he's retiring from politics. he confirmed he won't stand for the vice presidency next year's elections despite speculation to the country. george's former president mikhail stock. i should really have spent the night in detention all to retiring from exile to support the opposition in elections. a was convicted in 2018 for obese of power but says it was politically motivated. whereas if nava continuing to spew from the comedy via volcano and the canary on its new cracks have been opening up giving rise to more eruption. hundreds of homes

have been destroyed and thousands of people have been forced to leave and thousands more being told to stay in doors to avoid inhaling the sick smoke coming from the volcano. a spring in on. corresponding jenna how, who's on the island? we getting more details now about the reach of the lava extending. what more can you tell us about that? at well, unpredictable and constantly evolving is what vulcan ologist had been saying about this eruption since it began 2 weeks ago on september the 19th. and so it has proved, particularly in the last few days, i step out the way so you can have a better look at what's going on as i try and explain to you a little bit about the changes currently happening up there. a new vent opened on thursday night. it is now in full flow. it's around 400 meters to the north west of the original mouth of that volcano. it's emitting a more liquid and fast moving larva flow, which is heading off in

a brand new direction. a northerly direction, it's expected that the topography of the mountain side will lead it round in a loop so that it, it joins the original flow down to the sea. but not before, as i say, completing a rather large loop and potentially finding in its path. yet more infrastructure buildings, houses and so on. and indeed we're told that overnight more buildings did come engulfed by the lava. more drama had more people to help is how the local government had described. is that a press conference on friday night? or there are no new evacuations planned as we understand it, but it does seem from these new developments that among the 6000 people who've been evacuated so far, at least some may find that they lose their houses or some of their property in the hours. and days, ed and looking at that picture behind you, it doesn't look like that. smoke is getting a thick hair and black hair. there is concern now about people breathing that smoke

in there's a lot of wind about as well. the wind direction is subject to change. there's all sorts of things that can affect the toxicity of that cloud behind me and where it goes and who it effects. we're talking about sulfur dioxide in that cloud. sulfur derivatives as well as a very fine volcanic ash particles, all of which go go towards contributing to things like irritable eyes, irritable skin. they can in bad cases, affect the throat and the lungs. and clearly there is a situation now down on the western slopes there where the air quality has worsened . as this erupt, sion itself escalates and the new order has gone out to communities. down there last janice and el paso, particularly 3500 people living down there to confine themselves to their homes at the moment, to close doors and windows even take them off if necessary, and avoid using the air conditioning so that they're not sucking in external air into their living environment,

so they joined 3 other communities further down towards the sea. where of course there's a different kind of chemical reaction taking place. there also can find that it's, you know, pretty uncomfortable conditions to find yourself in particularly down there where daytime temperatures are now exceeding 30 degrees. okay, many thank that jane hall at there for us on the island. the united states has the past 700000 deaths from coven 19 at remains the worst affected country accounting for 15 percent of the 4700000 fatalities worldwide. by 67 percent of eligible us adults are now fully vaccinated, leaving $70000000.00 who have still not received a shot despite them being widely available and free of charge. ask elaine is an epidemiologist and a national public health official, he explains where vaccine resistance is, having the worst impact were seen significant a pockets of course in the southeast in the,

in the mid west. and definitely in parts of, as we say, southern areas of our, of our country, which just lead points to the fact that this of sustain activity, and especially the way it's, it's impacting the unvaccinated is, is such a concern, especially as we talk about the fact that deaf rates or discounts that we see are lagging indicators. so by the time individuals are dying, we've already gone through a significant progression on these, which will continue to perpetuate, in our, in our society of, for the sad part of all this. when we think about data and more specifically around the access, there are certain countries in the world where people still don't have access to vaccines. the vaccines are readily available, especially in attendance to individuals who may not necessarily be able to build themselves of it. and even so we've seen in this country alone, only about $64.00,

roughly 65 percent that have gotten one dose at least one dose. but when you look at the bully vaccinated that that percentage is roughly about 55 percent. so less than half or a little bit more than half sorry, of our population are fully vaccinated. in the midst of a global pandemic, it's totally missed of california will become the 1st us state to make vaccinations . compulsory fiscal children, the governor gavin nice and wants it to come into effect from january. the monday for 12 to 15 year olds is pending approval from us regular basis. the white house says the president and members of his democratic party have made progress as they trying to rescue jo biden's economic agenda in iraq presidential move bite and met his party members on capitol hill. divisions among democrats threatened his ambitious plans. rosalind jordan has the latest from washington even though you as

president joe biden's trip from the white house to capitol hill was televised on friday afternoon. the democratic leader didn't get what he wanted. members of his party agreeing to vote on 2 key pieces of legislation. a $1.00 trillion dollar infrastructure bill, as well as a $3.00 trillion dollar social services and environmental package. that's because progressives and conservatives in the democratic party are split on just how much money to spend, even though they all say they want the same things. now the members of the progressive wing, the more liberal wing, have been holding things up in the house of representatives. they say they're members were sent because their voters want to see more spending on things such as health care, education, child care, and a clean environment. and they intend to deliver, they say without a guarantee that that $3.00 trillion dollar bill is going to be passed. they're not

going to vote for the $1.00 trillion dollar infrastructure bill, which would improve roads, bridges, internet connections, telecommunications and the nation's power. grid because of this political standing, the president was called in, basically to try to get the more conservative wing of the democratic party and the more liberal wing to find common ground. but even after that closed door entreaty, they didn't really agree on what to do next. this is what the president had to say as he left capitol hill on friday afternoon. doesn't matter whether it's a 6 minute day or 6 week, we're going to get it done because members of the health did not vote on a full infrastructure bill. the one that's already been passed by the u. s. senate . they instead spent friday evening voting on a short term 30 day funding package to take care of us until transportation

industry needs. that means they're going to have to come back and deal with that matter in a months time. in the meantime, members of the house of representatives are going back to their districts across the country for the next 2 weeks. if negotiations turn out any sort of real compromise that members of the entire party are willing to support. they could be called back to washington, but as with everything here, don't hold your breath. taiwan has condemned china for sending 58 fine to jets to whether it's as space. it is the largest approach reported so far. it happened as beijing mouth, the founding at the people's republic of china. robert bryant has this report with increasing tensions between the 2 neighbors. china in recent months has been stepping up these kinds of incursions. but according to taiwan, this was the largest number of aircraft reported in a single day, a total of $38.00. it says at the defense ministry says that they came in to waves
