mexico and economic full ox august era brings you the latest on the pandemic thesis . had vaccinated more than 1100 people here. all of them migrate. farm workers, people on cold testing, because they think that there is a risk to democracy, special coverage on al jazeera. what's most important to me is talking to people understanding what they're going through here. it al jazeera, we believe everyone has a story worth hearing. ah, one of the biggest leeks of financial documents known as the pandora papers claimed to reveal the secret wealth and dealings of dozens of world leaders. ah, hello, i'm come all santa maria herein doha. with the world news from al jazeera, at least 13 people have been killed in a bomb blast in kabul. it is the deadliest attack since us forces left afghanistan
3:01 am
. also coming up alive, a sorry, a report from mexico where thousands have marched against abortion. can we just say that that is a basic right that everyone has to know that they will be safe when they enter a healthcare facility? job. what jap, our debate over vaccine mandates in the u. s. as having an impact on an already tight labor market. ah, so a huge league of financial documents, perhaps the biggest ever as exposed what it found to be the secret assets and dealings of some of the world's richest people. a collection of nearly 12000000 files was published by the international saw him of investigative journalists. they have called it the pandora papers. his, some of what we've learnt are from the leaked fans. they purportedly show jordan's king abdullah is the master luxury property portfolio worth around
3:02 am
a $100000000.00 and alleges the purchases were disguised through offshore companies . incorporated in the british virgin islands. as lawyers say, all properties were bought with personal wealth. the president of azerbaijan, alam alley of his family is close associates. they have been involved in property deals in the u. k. with more than half a $1000000000.00, the olives have also been accused of looting their own country. used offshore companies to buy you k property, including a $45000000.00 office block for the presidents, 11 year old son. his revelations could prove particularly damaging for the u. k. government highlight its failure to create a register of offshore property owners despite repeatedly promising to do so. we're going to talk more about us about john in particular in a moment. but 1st let's hear from will fits, given who's a senior reporter for the group which released these documents on of the names that jumped out to us all. immediately the reporters looking through these dead was the king of jordan. abdulla the 2nd that's on one hand because we found his passport,
3:03 am
literally in these documents, but also the she a number of shell companies and secret property purchases that we were able to establish these. her properties worth over more than $100000000.00 that show companies connected to the king have purchased over the years, including many multi $1000000.00 properties in a very fancy neighborhood in california that will purchase stars during or after the arab spring revelations. there's no indication or suggestion in our reporting that this is indeed a legal, but i think we have certainly asked the king, why were these purchases made through show companies? why has none of this been disclosed publicly? and what if any connection do these purchases have to the state of jordan? ah, an experts we speak to say that it will be terribly embarrassing for a king who prides himself on a reputation as a modernist and an ally of the west. or i would say other names that jumped out at me were obviously the president of kenya, who literally appears as
3:04 am
a 2nd beneficiary of a secret foundation in panama. again, this is a precedent to, for many years. and even a few years ago, sat down with her herb bbc interviewer and said, if anyone has something to tell us that we haven't been transparent about, let them tell us. and i suppose today with a pandora papers were doing just that. so the said we're going to talk particularly about to as of as john and alfred shy of is joining us from barker. he's a political analysts. thank you for your time and it's very early. monday morning there in barker. i believe your view is that this is all fake, basically that this is some sort of hit job against the leadership of azerbaijan. yes, thank you. greetings from. but you know, the real fact is that this information has no real wages and completely black p r against, as a regional government because this type of information is circulated in a number of based on media from time to time. and later,
3:05 am
it turns out that this is completely false in this way. some are some of ours, especially where the international organizations are trying to get some political influence on the as of agenda state and county is 1st person special, a president ha, malia, and the purpose is clear to this credit, the republic of, as of a john, which as she was an independent foreign policy in the region and the in the international arena to can the black p r campaign against the president ali and his family members to obtain a certain concessions from optional bucket. because as a john is counter each in oil and gas and a number of the star companies have signed agreements with as or by john and as of agenda is one of the leading exporters of oil and gas for the war on the other hand . so all the stuff that i willing to write because i want to like i want to ask
3:06 am
more questions to you. the type of a, as you've pointed out, this type of thing has appeared many times. this is not the 1st time we've heard allegations like this. it's a p a many times in many media. but it points to a president who seems more interested in personal wealth and amassing property and money elsewhere than actually running the country. shouldn't his 1st job b and his 1st responsibility be to the people about the by john? not as his his, his property portfolio. you know, our president, i live is rolling as of a john from 2003. and we have a different black propaganda against him. and as i said before, the influence, then the main goal is to influence the independent cortisol azerbaijan, because as a bridge, and the main goal is to abstract its relations with turkey and russia,
3:07 am
and the control of that as a bridge. and again, a strong black male against president ali against his family. and i would like to know once again that the major, all of us that published this information later for us to publish an apology message because such information has no basis. of course that is only so would you say it? hm. ali or when you say has about yes. are you saying it is? absolutely. it's not the, the scale of the issue that you're talking about. i mean, are you actually denying that that the president owns property off shore that he has property in the name of his then 11 year old son that he has this massive portfolio outside of the country on the fact. the fact is the president of caesar, mrs. civil allie of a lives in the united kingdom, and it is normal to have a house in london in another city. but how,
3:08 am
according to some media outlets, the existence of so called billions of dollars in progress to its fate and fabricated ok. so it would be nominal history to have property. yes, but his 11 year old son of an apartment block and his name, you know, didn't sound right. president a used to live in the united kingdom. i don't remember maybe more than 1520 years. and it is normal for her to have a flat apartment in london because a lot of people from azerbaijan, i'm in a politician's, maybe a business man. different citizens from azerbaijan has property in moscow in united states, in london, in your case, but all of the existence of billions of dollars is a huge money and billions of dollars in property. that
3:09 am
if you have ali a, as in u. k, it is a freight and it is fabricated, you know, especially to time by time we as of this kind of fabricated information last the as a bit, john has the story to tell integrity during the 40 for the car will. and this victory war is a number of countries in the world. in this regard, they have begun to spread hard misinformation again and the aim is to damage the atmosphere of class between that as of a janet people, i'm president. how are you? ok, how to say to this double as ice station in azerbaijan, but i think these at times will not work because your home ali is not only the president of us, but is also the separate commander in chief of victor. is county and such slanders cannot cast a shadow over is image of joining us from back. who thank you for your time. thank you. thank you. on to other news,
3:10 am
at least 13 people have been killed in an explosion in afghanistan's capital capital. the bombing target at the entrance of the 2nd largest mosque in the city and memorial services being held there for the mother of the town about spokesman. that the home, which i hate some of in job it has moved from capital. what he's were brought to nearby hospitals after sunday's attack in the afghan capital, ram rental from us on the monday, i don't know the exact place. i heard a loud sound. all the people were running away. nowadays, the situation in afghanistan is very bad. i hope god will help us right now, always are closed and we are waiting here and we don't know when they will help and the way we were about to leave it was supposed to be a memorial at the city 2nd largest mosque, a chance where the people in cobbled to meet the viola mcgraw had the thought yvonne's deputy information minister an offer. condolences for his mother's death. hundreds of dollars on support of the needles had gathered to pay their respects. multiple tears of security were set up but couldn't prevent the attack. gobble has
3:11 am
seen unprecedented safety and security in the last few weeks. the checkpoints gone an unrestricted movement in the streets. minutes before which i had been to the memorial service. he spoke to el dedira about the threat from iceland have gone to stun thy shed, though kara pleaded, i sal is not a visible thing here they are in hiding. some disturbances have been seen in kabul angela bad, but they are not present and other places we are paying close attention and we will not let them create an wrist. and a suggestion to them is that they don't instigate fighting inside afghanistan or this. this is an islamic country, there is an islamic government here. foreign forces have withdrawn from the country . there has been a major jihad done against foreign occupation. so every one must respect us. and if they don't respect us, they will face a very powerful reaction from afghan citizens and also our forces. we will filter them out and will destroy the hot outs. but destroying small groups with one or 2
3:12 am
eisley fighters is easier said than done. although no one has claimed responsibility analysts see patterns with similar attacks which have been taking place in easton of glen to son as low. so for example, i saw for a few years back, they were downgraded a lot by the efforts of one security forces. the forms to go to person that was an appointment, but over the past years or so, it has theresa has a witness and we have it as a resurgence of their activities. so it continues to poses a threat and one considered a 3rd off langston horizontal and has been largely under estimated sources of told out of here a number of people were arrested after the attack. balaban fighters have been carrying out raids in search of i from fighters. in the last few weeks, dozens have been arrested in connection with attacks and cobble, and bombs targeting balaban fibers and jill above. if security deteriorates, it would further complicate a fragile effort for millions of afghans. enter c is increasingly worried. at
3:13 am
that, predominantly we are worried about their impact of the upcoming winter, and it is very cold in afghanistan, and their needs are mounting with the challenge as we see with lack of physical cash and banks being closed. we don't have access to our bank accounts and they have reason to be concerned. in addition that don't nurse don't seem to be able to translate their pledges into actual grants. the new taliban government has promised its citizen, security and safety and vowed that complicated affairs such as governance and education will be sorted later. but if an attack can take place despite heavy security in the heart of the capital, that dream of a peaceful, secure life under taliban may remain just that farmer job it other. there are couple the check on the wall where the next and then the cost of the volcanic eruption in the canaries. we talked to islanders who are losing their livelihood in

3:16 am
why we're tired school of families, businesses and media organizations. simply blown up. goes a 60 minute warning. oh no, jesse around ah ah, these all the top stories this all we're on al jazeera jordan's king abdullah. the 2nd is among the world leaders and billionaires whose alleged secret business dealings have been exposed by a huge leak of financial documents. the so called pandora pipe is also reveal ukiah property deals by the president of azerbaijan and his close circle, with more than half a $1000000000.00. the lease highlight failure by the british government to register
3:17 am
off shore property owners at least 13 people as well killed in an explosion and afghanistan's capital. a bombing which targeted the 2nd largest, most cobble a memorial service, was being held for the mother of a taliban spots. living comes gods, intercepted a boat carrying about $500.00 refugees and migrants to europe and has returned them to libyan shoals and other vessel rescued. 65 people traveling from libya on a wooden boat on saturday of recent days libyan security forces of the time thousands of migrants during raids. officials described it as a security campaign against illegal migration drugs. trafficking is thomas garofalo, the viet country director of the international rescue committee. this is, europe needs to do more to help the living authorities. the living coast guard is not really capable of monitoring the, the, the crossings. and so we have, he has national rescue committee have have called on the european union to do more
3:18 am
to start their own search and rescue operations. that's one thing. on the other side, in libya, there really isn't any visibility into what happens inside the detention centers. we are, we the, the i r c along with you and hcr and, and some other humanitarian agencies have some access into the detention regime. but it's quite incomplete. we're able to provide some assistance of a life saving nature through our medical teams. but a, by and large, the situation is failing the not only the asylum seekers, but also many law abiding peaceful people who have been swept up in this effort by the libyan authorities to, to stop migration. a catholic and conservative groups and mexico rallied against a court ruling that could pave the way for the de criminalization of abortions right across the country. on a reply, as this report now from mexico city,
3:19 am
were walking down the main avenue that cuts right through the middle of mexico city with several 100 demonstrators. now this march was organized by religious institutions, as well as anti abortion groups that are against a recent ruling by mexico's supreme court. that effectively decriminalize is abortion. nationwide. getting the guess at it have you say we won't our conclusions following the supreme court decision to be taken into account. there are millions of women who are not in favor of these changes are mill. this more derives on the heels of pro choice demonstrations that have taken place here in mexico and elsewhere in latin america marking international women's reproductive rights day. well again, yeah, yeah, many goes far raped and then fullest to be mothers and that has to change happen. america has low cannot ha, many of the demonstrators here are dawning blue and are waving flags and holding up a lot of religious imagery. after all,
3:20 am
mexico is one of the most populous catholic countries in the world. so there has been an expectation that there would be pushback by religious conservative against the d criminalization of abortion. what's interesting as well, is the timing of these protests which are occurring as pro choice demonstrations have swept the u. s. following that court ruling in the us state of texas restricting abortion rights, opening the door to a scenario where women in the u. s. could be turning to mexico for safe and legal abortions despite abortion de criminalization being finalized here and mexico religious groups say that they are committed to continue to fight for that ruling to be overturned. so the current of ours news in vaccination rates in the us have been climbing as more and more places require proof of a job to work with to play thousands of people that i was still expected to lose their job in health care and education as a result of vaccine mandates and as kristen salumi discovered, the impact on an already tight labor market remains
3:21 am
a big concern. health care workers were among the 1st to be offered vaccines in the united states. and many consider it a privilege as well as a responsibility. i believe, yeah, the mandate is a good idea. i think people should get access to it. but now it's no longer a choice in new york. it is a state and soon to be federal requirement in the medical field. yeah, i think everybody did, man, did you know i don't care if we get them a big one of your blood flow here at erie county medical center in buffalo, new york, more than 95 percent of the staff are compliant. but the rest have been placed on unpaid leave, the hospital has had to cut back on some procedures. and the overall is going to affect the people that need the help. it's going to affect the patients and the people that are sick and in those homes that are going to be understaffed. a lot of surgeries that are being canceled. so if the patients that are being affected by more than anybody else to ease staffing concerns, new york governor has signed an executive order loosening restrictions on who can
3:22 am
work in certain positions. but she's defending the mandate, which will also affect teachers. can we just say that that is a basic right that everyone has to know that they'll be faith when they enter a healthcare facility? or you have your elderly parents or grandparents in a nursing home that they will not get sick because of someone who is charged with their care. still, physicians, assistant, deborah conrad says she's been safely serving on the front lines of the pandemic without the vaccine. and would rather lose the job she's held for nearly 2 decades than be forced to comply. she says she wants to see more long term studies on vaccine side effects. i have all my childhood vaccines, my updated vaccines. my children have their vaccines. just because i'm questioning this one, which is a new technology for a new virus, doesn't make me an anti vaccine person. it just makes me somebody that wants informed consent. the state of new york actually has one of the highest vaccination
3:23 am
rates in the country. so if there are compliance and staffing issues here, the question is, what will that mean for the rest of the country where there's more vaccine resistance and mandates from the federal government have yet to go into effect even before president joe biden mandated shots for businesses with more than 100 workers, however, dozens of high profile companies from united airlines to disney had already begun insisting their workers get vaccinated. the federal mandates alone will cover as many as 100000000 americans. and if they achieve their goal and sure there are enough healthy people available to fill any vacancies. kristen salumi al jazeera buffalo, new york, is a big cleanup operation that's begun along california to southern coastline. excuse me, after a major oil spill nearly 600000 liters of oil spilled into the waters off orange county since saturday. it's come from a broken pipeline connected to an offshore oil rig investigated still looking for
3:24 am
the cause of that bake. meanwhile, the spanish governments pledged $239000000.00 to help the island of la palmer recover from the devastation brought bites, erupting volcano prime minister petro sanchez, made the commitment during a visit to the island. with the company via volcano continues to spew red hot lava and thick clouds of black smoke. more than 2 weeks after it began interrupting officials at the expense of activity is only intensified from la palmer. jonah, how reports, volcanic ash and toxic gas explode into the sky, 6000 meters up, and the wind can carry it almost anywhere. for the island of la palmer, that means everywhere. here on the southern shoreline, on the opposite side of the island, are salt pans carved into black volcanic rock. this farm faces disaster. much of the crop has been ruined by falling ash cash on top of those. i beg of you though,
3:25 am
address explains that the salt was about to be harvested for now. this is yield will be down by up to 40 percent. so like say a 30. i will not be 30. i know i would describe it as a nightmare, an awful dream of to such a bad year with cove it when we're trying to recover. we get this situation which is unbelievable. agriculture makes up around half of law palmer's economy, most of it bananas clinging to volcanic hillsides where they thrive. here to the falling, ash has caused terrible damage tearing into banana skins, making them unseeable. and worse. the love of flow has cut off irrigation channels to some of the islands, most prolific plantations. that leaves tourism, but the beaches are empty. package, holiday makers, absent, it's the beginning of the season on an island, famous for winter, some yet in the marina's, the boats are tied up. normally,
3:26 am
we're just going out, get this whole boat full with the 60 people every day from monday until sunday. yes . like 2 times they 3 times a day, 2 days after that the bill comes plus, we just stop. we still fight in from the banana. sorry. was defended from that big boom from the volcano there. and now we try to, we am, you know, together and fight the situation and start it again. but as i told you before, we don't know what is going to happen. how long's going to be the situation. images of the volcano being consumed around the world will certainly help to put this canary island on the map. but that doesn't mean that tourists are flocking here anything but right now. and in the wake of huge losses generated by the pandemic. that is a tragedy for many. what remains our volcano, tourists,
3:27 am
many from neighboring islands and mainland spain, but this eruption could last months and they will not sustain an economy that for the time being, is going up in smoke. jonah, how al jazeera la palmer. now it is the biggest one day charity fundraising event in the world. as 404-0000 people ran the 42 kilometer root of the london marathon on sunday. last year's event was canceled, of course, because a corona virus and this year they moved it from spring to the autumn or challenger ports now and how the charity sector has whether that storm runners streamed in their thousands towards the start lines on sunday morning. there some sat quietly gathering their thoughts, some prepared themselves physically, others put on a show. many were thinking about the reason they taken this challenge on in the 1st place, like jane, tyrone on her catholic charities. i one of the ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha ha, is long run into that. my husband was diagnosed with bow counselor,
3:28 am
christmas. this is jeff. it's the 60 year old 20th marathon. he's running for the teenage daughter of a friend who got leukemia when she was 3. yeah. side of which john says, my 1st attempt to catch her is an british art foundation because of my parents. her are problems that because i've seen this little girl grow old, a sign of special david says it's such personal connections that provide essential motivation. all those hard miles down when it's raining, when it's miserable. usually spring is cold during the winter. in the autumn, it's hot during the summer, it's a lot of sacrifice. you've got to have a personal connection. i think a lot most the people on our team, not all the people are naughty, have a good personal connection with the charity. the london marathon is the world's largest annual one day fundraising event. more than 3 quarters of people run for
3:29 am
a good course with a 3rd of entries reserved for charity runners. more than a $1000000000.00 has been raised since the merit and began in 1981 more than $5500000.00 was raised for the featured charity dementia revolution. in the 2019 marathon, there was no 2020 marathon because of the corona virus pandemic charity workers say the loss of large events and the many small ones vital to their fundraising. hit them hard way along with many others needed to make some really difficult decisions . i'm. we could see the reduction in the available income that was going to come as a result of kind of virus. and we need to make some tough decisions. we needed to be smaller as an organization. 2020 ones marathon is in october rather than the usual april. and there are some other changes, but at least it happened. well, as he might expect, the marathon is a bit different this year. all the participants have to have a negative cova test and they're starting in waves over an hour and a half to stop to many people bunching out together. ethiopia, si se,
3:30 am
lemme one the men's race in 2 hours, 4 minutes and one second. joselyn jap kosky from kenya. let the women home in 2 hours. 17 minutes, 43 seconds of the rest of those running on sunday. many couldn't manage half a marathon in such astonishing times, but that is far beside the point. the money they raise, and the good they do is the life blood of many essential charities, rory talents out a 0 london. ah . how fast the our these are the top stories, jordan's king abdullah, the 2nd is among the world leaders and 1000000000 as his alleged secret business dealings have been exposed and a huge leak of financial documents. that's been called a pandora papers. i say he built up a property empire with more than a $100000000.00, including properties in malibu and london. the papers also reveal alleged
