students of the people obviously up here. now the spanish government has pledged $239000000.00 to help the island of la palmer recover from the devastation caused by its still abrupt in volcano prime minister pedro sanchez made that commitment on sunday during a visit to the island. the financial package will be the 2nd stage of a plan that was approved last week. volcano though, continues to spear red hot lava and thick clouds of ash 2 weeks now after it began interrupting. well, let's now bring in jonah, how he is on the island for us journal. it really feels like there's been very little less up. can you talk us through the situation there right now, it's looking very smoky behind you. well, it's been a particularly active explosive 12 hours or so for this volcano, emitting ever growing quantities of lava, it was already clear throughout sunday that it was entering a new much more aggressive phase will be at the bulk of balkan ologist say there's
1:31 pm
nothing particularly unusual about this sort of ebony flow, but you could hear loud booms throughout sunday, across very great distances. on this island, the plume of smoke was more impressive than it has been at any point. and then at about 10 pm on sunday night, something really quite significant. did happen, a wall of the central cone collapsed in on itself effectively. we think they think consolidating the 3 emitting vents into one and causing an enormous surge of new very liquid, fast moving larva out of that volcano. now we're told that the new lava flow has joined the original lava flow down the western slopes of the mountain over there towards the sea. but with warnings that are the original flow at hot larva now turned to molten rock over the past 2 weeks. as course changes to the topography that could yet deviate the new flow of lava potentially endangering more

property, more buildings, more businesses, more homes. and here's my report now on an island economy already badly hit by the pandemic. and now suffering immeasurable losses because of all of this and at the time of the year when people ought to be arriving in the, on this island in large numbers to enjoy some winter sunshine. 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. these farm faces disaster. much of the crop has been ruined by falling ash, volcanic ash entre thought up buried elevator. the last possibility of thought, undress explains that the salt was about to be harvested for of now this he is yield will be down by up to 40 percent. so rank he
1:33 pm
said yes, i will not be funny. i know i would describe it as a nightmare, an awful dream of to such a bad year with cobit 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 i'm salable, and worst. 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 we're just going out get this whole boat in full with the 60 people every day from monday until sunday. yes. like 2

1:35 pm
smoke. well, it's an eternally impressive site that smoke billowing from the mouth of a volcano here on sunday to see it as well was spanish prime minister pedro sanchez on his 3rd visit to this island since the eruption began on september the 19th he came with good news for the people of the island, pretty demoralized they all are a central government financial package worth $230000000.00 that will be signed off this week to go towards recovery, reconstruction, re housing, people helping businesses lost jobs and so on. and he also urged tourists not to shun this island. he said it was perfectly safe, but it is already clear that this could could go on for a long, long time, potentially months. it could be a while yet. before palmer becomes the island, it once was turn how there on the ground for us in upon that with all the letter. thank you so much. n o. the vatican has been hosting an event to call for more

1:37 pm
one of the most important religious leaders, of course, on the planet, has put his imprimatur on this. he has been saying this for years that the earth is god's greatest gift to mankind are human kind. he says, when he says is important that we honor that not to spoil it further. so we're hearing a lot of that similar message from these dozens of leaders now from the castle on the then charles put him on to his in court and sardinia over his extradition to spain. he was detained by police when he arrived on that italian island last month . although the judge ordered his release just a day later, his importers had been rallying outside court. priest amount is wanted by madrid over his role in catalonia is a failed independence bid in 2017. he has been living in self imposed exile and belgium. on the taliban says its target had a cell of iso in afghanistan just hours after a blast and capital cobble. there's been no came of responsibility for sunday's

1:40 pm
analysts see patterns with similar attacks which have been taking place in eastern afghanistan as low. so for example, in south for a few years back, there were downgraded a lot by the efforts of one security forces. the foreign student 1st appointment, but over the past years or so, it has research has a witness and we have it as a resurgence of their activities. so it continues poses a threat and one considered a 3rd off langston horizontal and 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 raids in search of i from fighters. in the last few weeks, dozens have been arrested in connection with the tax and cobble and bombs targeting fall upon fighters in july labord. 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
1:41 pm
afghanistan, and their needs are mounting with the challenge as we see where it 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 with other there are a couple well, let's return to sudan now where the government is wanting the country is just about to run out of medicine, fuel and wheat because of the closure of its main port. our correspondent, mohammedan is in the eastern city of ports you don and joins us from there now. mom

1:43 pm
they to have their own armed group. their fault was with the government before, and they're saying that their grievances have not been put into consideration by the government. there was a government delegation led by some cabinet ministers, including the foreign minister. what i have here days ago and one negotiated with the b j elders. and they too have not been able to achieve much accept getting at the clearance from the elders to have sell to dance oil exported from these port. there is a pipeline between here and the sod sedan, which the oil that a $164.00 bottles of oil bud per day that sold sudan produces. and this is a lifeline, not just for sudan itself, but also for south su, done, and sofa. the beecher elders are not budging, they're saying there was hon. that ground until the government agrees to miss their demands. no matter though they're on the ground for us infants, you don,

1:45 pm
any accidental misunderstandings. it's very important that they are kept open, given the fragility of relations and the, the amount of armaments along the d, m. z. now they tend to be cotton restored depending on how relations are at any given point in time. and of course, with the dipping relations that we saw in the last year or 2 with the ab, with the ending alpha negotiations over at north korea's nuclear arsenal. those st, all those talks became stalled. 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 the liaison office that had 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 or they were cut to 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
1:46 pm
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 start 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. now catholic and conservative, great from mexico have protested against a court ruling that could to pave the way for the de criminalization of abortions. manual palo has more from mexico city, 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 edit of 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. one of them,

i mailed this more to rives 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, the bed yeah. yeah. many girls for raped and then forced to be mothers, and that has to change that in america has woken up. ha, many of the demonstrators here are dawning blue and are waving flags and holding up a lot of religious imagery. after all, mexico is one of the most populous catholic countries in the world. so there has been an expectation that there would be pushed back 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
1:48 pm
abortions despite abortion. di criminalization being finalized here in mexico religious group, see that they are committed to continue to fight for that ruling to be overturned, or at cuddle us government is meeting indigenous leaders and rural community groups . and a dispute about the future of the mining industry that they are threatening to stage protests unless the government blocks mining project, which they say caused huge environmental damage. and at no time, no reports the idyllic town of law must said that one osiris high in the an these mountains has become a battle ground. the flash point between those who want to exploit it may by golden copper reserves. and those who want to maintain a way of life unchanged for generations. so there was no good m o community, any legal need. we don't want legal or legal mining because of the environmental damage they cause we've survived for a long time without gold. without mining, we live from the food we produce. they don't get that yellow. they know about
1:49 pm
a legal mining. thousands of a legal mind has invaded this territory in search of gold leaving behind massive devastation when government forces evicted them 2 years ago. now bigger legal mining concerns want to exploit the copper reserves, they believe a here providing jobs a much needed foreign income yaki i hear there. well, there are people who were previously working in legal mining who are now disguised as environmentalists who don't want to give all of us the chance to work and look at the situation has become complicated. some local people do welcome ham ryan exploration of mining. the ecuadorian subsidiary of the australian company hancock prospecting. many more do not accusing the government of applying laws for the silence their protests less than most men. unfortunately, there's been a systematic persecution of all the defenders of this land. when we raised our voices about the reality of what was happening that were being invaded by multinational companies, they denounced us with the only intention of silencing and intimidating us. some of

1:51 pm
reasonable social manner. the ecuadorian government insists it must exploit his mining potential to create jobs and income to help his battered economy emerge from the pandemic. opponents say mining will bring on the pollution and misery. they say will take to the streets if they don't reach agreement and talk to the government. the conflict that could have repercussions far beyond this small community than this one. there are 20. mostella had here on al jazeera in thought, strict measures in place for all athletes wanting to compete at test events and the beijing winter olympics, ah with
