and rather boats. you and hcr and rescue or provided aid legal pathway the needed for those seeking international protection. as tentative canister. now where the taliban says it's speaking directly to the us about building relations more than a month after american and foreign forces withdrew. but in an interview with al jazeera, the telephones phone affairs spokesman denounced us drone operations, an afghan ass base. here, 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 doe agreement clearly stipulates that to the united states and the other countries as well. its allies will not

interfere in internal affairs of for up with understand they are not only you violating the own commitments, but they are also violating international law. the issue of women's rights was also brought up. ok. he insisted that it will simply take time to see some change. 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 for 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. we understand it very well. and we are working but again, i must emphasize that as the saying certain goes wrong was not built in

a day. george's former president smith, kale fact surely has spent the night in detention after returning from exile to support the opposition for elections. he was detained just hours after arriving in the country. he was in smiling as police took him into custody soccer. shirley had called on people to load against the governing party and saturdays local action. then hold street protests. he was convicted in absent here in 2018 for abuse of power, but in says the case was politically motivated. robin for i say walker has more from tbilisi. nobody expected that nickel 2nd really was going to show up on the elite, on each of these elections. he has in the past stated he would come to georgia this time. he said he would fly in to night. well, he sort of surprised everybody showed up yesterday morning then everybody was wanting. where was he? was he really here? what impact, what was he going to be able to achieve on the loose in georgia? a wanted man in any announcement last night that he had been arrested. i,

what this goes to show is how much of an influence this man continues to exert over the georgian 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 didn't have a change in georgia and showed our objection to discover their will. so george's, who will be very put off by the 2nd video return. they've had enough of, of, of his involvement in the jordan political scene. and so that may work in the governance government's favor with, with their supporters. emboldened to come out and show that they still support this government. it's still the most popular party, in fact, in georgia, consistently in the polls. several percentage points a heads of mikhail sacrifice, vinnie's opposition party, the united national movement. the citizens of compar are casting their ballots in

the gulf nation's 1st legislative elections. then acting members to the sure a council, it's a 45 seat advisory body, an to until now, on its neighbors, had been appointed by the in, in a 30 st. so 2 thirds will now be decided by votes. the council dates back to 1972. it's responsible for proposing laws approving budgets and can even sack ministers. the amir still holds veto power. there's 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 powers to an elected parliament. hand on martha is a former sure. a council member, she says caught our wants, its people more engaged and have a golf country is wrong. i believe strongly. it's very important for got out to be, to be taking 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 society 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 as you'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 had 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 uber by the, the, the political leadership. ah, but you know, i again go back to what's going on when it comes 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 or, and take your time after time. more the elections and the more generations come to this search, what our council i can see about the civic, the civil earth and engagement and such political participation is going to be, are more mature and even more active towards building a real, a civil society of the country u. s. president joe biden says he hopes his political rivals. the republicans will be responsible and not stand in the way of congress raising the debt limit. the government needs to increase or suspend its borrowing ceiling by october, the 18th, to avoid defaulting on their payments. well, i hope the public will be solely responsible to raise the government from about that would be totally uncomfortable. never been done. so i hope that won't happen. my can join us now live from washington. d. c might just bring us up to speed. so

the attempts to raise the debt ceiling well, what we are looking at is a political circus, one that is virtually unprecedented. the republicans insist that it's up to the democrats to raise the debt ceiling by themselves, cuz they control all 3 branches of government. however, the a democrats contend that the reason why the debt ceiling has to be raised is because of the massing spending launch by the republicans when they held control in congress. the problem is in all of this, is that raising the debt ceiling requires a vote of 60 in the senate. you heard the president biden referring to the filibuster. now that would mean given the democratic slim majority in the senate sex only one, which is the vice president unique 10 republicans to raise at that limit. the republican leader saying, no, this is not going to happen. now that would mean that the government for the nation

actually infringes on its debts. basically, it cannot afford to pay it spills the country would descend into economic chaos. now some content, this is political gamesmanship on the part of the republicans that they will in the end, come round and work together with democrats. but at this stage they are insisting that they will not and mind care. what about the infrastructure bill? a very big piece of legislation. how's that progressing? well, that is got to be seen in the light of 2 separate bills. one is the infrastructure bill, which has already been passed by the senate, just requires the go ahead by the house to go to the president for signature. but that is linked by some democrats to a why he to bill a bill about co good relief about climate change, which some democrat saw insisting has got to be passed in its entirety,

along with the infrastructure bill. in other words, they are saying they are not going to back that infrastructure bill if it does not come along with that massive trillion dollar bill that president biden. once republicans have already indicated they have no interest whatsoever in passing that particular bill. but these bills, both the infrastructure and the code relief bull only require a simple majority in congress. but what is holding that up is some democrats who wanted all on going to allow anything to pass my cana in washington dc. thank you. still head on al jazeera, called for an investigation, the shooting of a prominent rank elidah inside the world's largest refugee camp. ah, to lanes chair, the end of a long cove at 19 state of emergency. not everyone's convinced that the time is right.

it has cleared up nicely for japan. now that typhoon min delay is pushed off north . we are seeing lots of sunshine come through and the temperature in toko will touch 30 degrees. by the time we get to monday, but it is going to get wet of the korean peninsula up in the north. you can see that really heavy rain. we could see some flooding here, and that weather system moving across central and north eastern areas of china, bringing some very heavy downpours and we could see further flooding here. that sure update. ah, the on air or online be part of the debate or pacific people, the ocean is our identity and the source of well being weak are the ocean when no topic is off the table, it's as children side atmosphere, people are demoralized. they're exhausted and many health care workers are experiencing p t s d like symptoms jump into the stream and jew, he now global community of heal on lied on utah right now. you can be part of those

conversations. wealth this stream. oh, now to sierra. ah ah, you're watching al jazeera reminder of our top stories, the cell, 4000 refugees and migrants, including women and children, have been rounded up and attained in libya. the country is a transit help for people, mainly from africa and the middle east, trying to cross the mediterranean to europe. the town of on says it speaking directly to the us about building relations on the taliban throne, affairs spokesman denounced to us drone operations in afghan air space as a violation of international law. george's former president mikhail suck actually,

has spent the night in detention after returning from excel to support the opposition and elections. he was convicted in 2018 for abuse of power, says it was politically motivated, more than 600 events taking place across the u. s. for the annual women's march this year, the event is focused on laws and several states to restrict access to abortions, especially in texas, which has effectively banded hydro. castro is in the texas state capital austin, heidi what's happening there were youa came organizers here of the more of the win is marge, are expecting thousands of protesters here up to 10000. and they are gathered here at the grounds of the state capital in austin, texas was really ground 0 for this. the fight of ab, reproductive rights advocates. because on september, 1st,

this deep became the ground for the most restrictive anti abortion law in the country, which effectively says, anybody who's been pregnant, more than 6 weeks, at which point a fetal heartbeat can't be detected, can no longer get an abortion that has led to effectively, abortions ending in axes, women having to travel long distances out of the state to get the procedure or being forced to continue with an unwanted pregnancy. and the protesters here say that assembly, i are hoping that the courts will eventually overturn this texas law though. so far the u. s. supreme court has refused to block it him. 2 yeah, that i mean, that texas lower fiction effectively banding abortion is being described as a sort of vigilante law. right. because it just, it's kind of aimed at the people who would aid a woman to get a termination. so i'm wondering what does all of this mean sort of on a national level?

yeah, that's right. those who drafted law in taxes did its own away. the depending on which side you're on. see, it is innovative or conniving in that it does not allow the government to be used as a defendant efforts on this law, which are broken, reproductive rights advocacy is blatantly unconstitutional. what happens is it allows any private citizen to sue up abortion provider in texas, who aided in an abortion. and that is the case that the u. s. supreme court will likely eventually have to consider, but more immediately on their plate is another law from mississippi. another conservative states that the supreme court will hear their case in early december and that law was written to directly challenge roe vs wade, which was the landmark of georgia hays that legalize abortions in the united states in 1973. so there are many challenges against the access to abortion in

the u. s. texas is only one of those points. how does your castro thank you for that? i'll write that outgoing philippines. president rodrigo de tirty has announced he's retiring from politics. he confirmed, he won't stand for the vice presidency and next year's elections, despite speculation to the country that i say is constitutionally prohibited from standing for president. again, he says there is overwhelming public sentiment that trying to become vice president would violate the spirit of the constitution. to me, the island oaken has more from manila, whether the church has claimed that he is 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, you know, loyalty and alliances. at this point, it is definitely too early to tell and it what the 30 did today, president of the good that there is switching and changing his mind is quintessentially the 3rd day. this is his political fire, but what remains to be seed 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 manufacturer 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. china is facing a major energy crisis with periodic power cuts and northern parts of the country.
