ever global financial investigation among its findings, king abdullah, the 2nd of jordan, who used shall companies to build a real estate portfolio worth more than $100000000.00 with properties spanning malibu, washington and london has no indication of suggestion in our reporting, but this is indeed a legal, but i think we have certainly asked the king why, why these purchases made through show companies. why has none of this been disclosed? publicly, representatives of the king insist no wrong dealing is involved. they told the consortium that he used his own money, not jordanian government funds to make these legal purchases. the reports also st. canyon president hurl kinyata and his family have at least $30000000.00 in offshore accounts. mrs. president her for many years and even a few years ago, set down with ah, a, b, b, c, 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 the pandora papers were doing just that . other notable leaders with lucrative holdings. the former british prime minister, tony blair, who the consortium says avoided paying hundreds of thousands and property tax on a townhouse by buying the company, which owned it. the check prime minister entre bobbitt up for reelection. the investigation found some of pakistani prime minister im wrong cons. inner circle also benefit from offshore trusts. he has vowed to punish lawbreakers. quote, my government will investigate all our citizens mentioned in the pandora papers. and if any wrong doing is established, we will take appropriate action. some will question whether countries such as the u . s. and the u. k. are doing enough to regulate the use of shell companies and tax

avoidance measures. analysts say this latest report makes it hard for citizens to trust their leaders, including in the middle east, inadequate, exposes, much more and, and just asked and he exposes this explicit me, actually he, and, and my me that is that it is, i think from this when an intersection between business and ernestine makes use of the, ah, the allegations in the pandora papers are just that allegations. there is no proof that leaders mentioned in the stories broke any laws, whether those laws should be changed is a matter for public debate. rosalind jordan al jazeera washington on to other news on sol, says north korea and south korea have restored a stoled communication channel. chung, cut the hotline in august, in protest against military drills, which so conducted with the united states last month, telling us that it may consider a summit with its southern neighbour,

rob mcbride's in hong kong to cover this one for us today. hi, rob festival, for people who don't know, can you tell us about this hotline and how it will, how it did work? these hot lines are very important. they are the lines of communication across the dmc between the north and the south. it prevents any accidental misunderstandings. it's very important that they are kept open, given the fragility of relations and the, the amount of arguments along the d, m. z. now, they tend to be cotton restored depending on how relations are at any given point in time. at a cost with the dipping relations that we saw in the last year or $2.00 with the ab, with the ending alpha negotiations over at north korea's nuclear austell, los st. all those talks became stoled. the north reacted very badly to that, and it was in june of last year that they took the step of cutting all of the communication lines and even going as far as destroying with explosives and liaison

officer been set up. what during better times be when relations were, were better between the north and the south. so it is important that they are kept open and they were cut 2 months ago again because of the north, protesting against military exercises in the south. the south is hoping that this time they will stay up a fo a permanently because they are hoping that this could be done. we have to use the caveat, said that it, this is only a possibility that there might be a stop now of better relations. but certainly the south is as welcome this move and saying that it could now stabilize and restore relations with the north. yeah, i mentioned young said it may even consider a summit with solomon that would be under the current situation or a huge step forward that has been mentioned has been measured by kim jo, john, that's the influential a sister of kim jong on the leader of north korea that was mentioned just over a week ago and that follows a, a no, but your from moon jay,

in the president of south korea who is desperate to try to restore relations. he's now well into his final year in office. he's a liberal presidency, made it his mission to try to restore relations. everybody knows he has only got so many months left in office and he could be replaced by a conservative. so the north knows that better than anybody else that this is their opportunity. if they're going to win concessions from the south from some sort of negotiations than they have to act now. so we do see this a strange jewel strategy that while they have these diplomatic efforts coming from the north, they are continuing with their missile efforts reducing an increase in their launching of short range ballistic missiles. but as far as the north is concerned, it's part of the same strategy. it keeps up the pressure and it reminds the south that the clock is ticking. rob mcbride with those are updates on what's happening in at north and south korea. thank you. up. that is 13 people been killed in an explosion in the afghan capital. cobble the bombing target at the entrance of the

2nd largest mosque in the city where a memorial service was being held for the mother of town. abandoned spokesman's abbey hold homage. a heat, sama, bon jovi has more from capital. what he's were brought to nearby hospitals after sundays attack in the afghan capital um from uh, from on. 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 opened away. we were about to leave. it was supposed to be a memorial at the city 2nd largest mosque, a chance for the people in cobbled to meet the viola mage. i had the thought yvonne's deputy information minister an offer. condolences for his mother's death. hundreds of fall unsupported, and edith had gathered to pay their respects. multiple tears of security were set up, but couldn't prevent the attack. gobble had 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 hel, dedira about the threat from iceland have gone to stun thy shed though, kara, polly did i so as not a visible thing here they are in hiding. some disturbances have been seen in kabul and gyla bad, but they are not present and other places we are paying close attention and we will not let them create and wrist. and our suggestion to them is that they don't instigate fighting inside afghanistan. what is this is an islamic country, there is an islamic government here. foreign forces have withdrawn from the country to 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 eisen 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 kind of fun as low. so for example, in south for a few years back, they were downgraded a lot by the efforts of foreign security forces. the foreign student 1st appointment, but over the past years. and so it has theresa has a witness and we have written as a resurgence of their activities. so it continues poses a threat and when considered a 3rd off langston, hassan parents has been largely under estimated sources of told out 0 a number of people were arrested after the attack. balaban fighters have been carrying out reeds in search of i from fighters. in the last few weeks, dozens have been arrested in connection with attacks and cobble, and bombs targeting fall upon fighters angela bud. if security deteriorates, it would further complicate a fragile 8 effort for millions of afghans. enter c is increasingly worried ab,

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, the don 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 with others era. couple girls have still not returned to secondary school in afghanistan. although primary age pupils start their classes last month, i've gone astounds acting minister of education moving moodle up near as tal down

to 0. women will not be barred from education, but there will be changes. now, as a muslim state, we have to follow the laws of sharia. for example, that we said we don't want mixed education because it is against our sherry and teachings. we are now speaking with experts on how to prepare the right environment for i've gone woman to continue their education. we don't have any plans to prevent women from education, but we cannot follow the same models followed in countries such as america. and the reason that we have our own laws and values in the news ahead. can we just say that that is a basic right that everyone has to know that they only save money, enter a healthcare facility, job or job, or debate of a vaccine mandates in the u. s. is having an impact on and already time lay them on the london medicines back and it's giving charity finance is a much needed this. ah,

ports women's coast received a year's worth of rain in a single day. the ground is bone, dry and unable to absorb the rain, triggering flash floods in northern and southern governments. at least 6 deaths and dozens of injuries are being blamed on the storm, and se iran residents of a line in the united arab emirates have been told to stay home while saudi civil defense authorities have warned several regions of possible flooding. enter chappelle al jazeera major cleanup operations began along california's southern coastline after an oil spill. and the 600000 liters of oil of spilled into the waters off orange county's and saturday from a broken pipeline, which was connected to an offshore oil rig. and the skate, it's still looking into exactly how that happens. no vaccination reads in the united states have been climbing is more and more places require proof of a jab to work or to play. a thousands of people are still expected to lose their

jobs in health care and education. as a result of vaccine mandates. as kristen salumi found out the impact on an already tight labor market remains a 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. they want to know what the 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 and some procedures and the overall is going to affect the people that need to 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 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's 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 rates in the country. so 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, millions of voters in cities and towns across italy. you are taking patton male elections. this is the 1st test of vote a sentiment. since mario groggy became the prime minister in february. mateo,
