corruption scandals. some girls are still in the classroom in afghanistan, but the future of their education is remaining uncertain. ah, and i was great in pakistan has killed at least 20 people and hundreds more have been injured and measured at 5.9. and it happened in the early hours of thursday while people was sleeping. the worst hit areas reported to be the city of hon. ny in ballasa don province rescue efforts to said to be more difficult because a lot of the roads are bad, and cellphone coverage is poor. come all hide has joining me now from a slam about kamala. and we're obviously just in the 1st few hours of this, since this earthquake happened, what more to be know about what's going on? well, 1st of all, it should be remembered that this particular quake happened about 3 m. as you

mentioned, very early in the morning. most people would have been sleeping at home. this is an area which has mostly marked and storm construction. wait for construction quality at dad killed many of the b. but what trap done that a rule? many, as you mentioned, at least 20 canada military ellicott to and then what rush through that area to evacuate the most mediately injured and also to move and send out the equipment. this is i've got at a more region and the fact that dia craig, were there shallow one thought configurable damaged. it also cut off the key access road. so people out to was that the force this bond direct to work with dodge lights to dig through the rob. but however, we are told that military rescue teams at now dead, the national debt. the provincial de dr. management auto did not dare and dead. of course, probing to see what had happened on the ground and not many structure have collapsed

. wake what felt at faraway and the provincial capital went about a 168 kilometers away from road. and now that area then after chokes, of course, continued. but so far, the dead door leads not significantly high. however, we shall find out as the rescue efforts and recovery effort of gotta get underway. come all, thanks very much. indeed that's come all high to talking to us from is slomo. but i want to bring in young persley, she's a g, a physicist with the us geological survey. and she's joining us from golden in colorado. thank you very much indeed for being with us. from what to come all was describing. there seems to be a particular combination of circumstances that would, it would affect just to how, what kind of an impact and, and as quite cause just talk us through what's happening with this one and why it has hives such an impact? well this earthquake, it may not seem very large, but it was shallow. this,

the shaking was very strong in the of the center area. her name is very close, you are only about 15 kilometers away from the abbey center. and so if you add that to the construction of the harms and structures in the area that will unfortunately cause learned damage. the fact that it happened at lag rent, diversely being that even exacerbates the damage and the injuries that would happen in the area. because it's in the mountainous region, the region will be brown to landslides, blocking the roads and hindering aid coming into the area. how does this compare to previous earthquakes? we've seen in this region. in the past 3 years, jessica sorry has recorded about 21, many to 6 and larger earthquakes within approximately 250 kilometers of the epicenter. so the regional knows large earthquakes and they, they happened from time to time. the most notable events that happened where

magnitude 7 point one in 1997 and then to magnitude sevens in 19311935. there were very damaging here dollars either the earthquakes and seismic activity and climate, a related incidence or something that we report on regularly when it comes to the earthquakes. and seismic activity like we're seeing is any effort being made to try to develop systems that would at least allow people some sort of warning in these remote regions to be able to get away and try and reduce the number of people that are affected by it yes people try, people try predict earthquakes, figure out ways how we can anticipate, but will happen unfortunately. so many of these are large events. they happen at inter was that we haven't seen a repetition of been yet. and so that makes the prediction very difficult. on

another, not there folds that have been on map which adds to the problem of how do you predict something if you don't have exact data where the false lie? in terms of the advice that builds you as geological survey and other organizations like yours can give to governments and to people in terms of building houses. what kind of recommendations can you make to people. busy in these remote areas, when their houses are obviously so poorly constructed that they do get hit so badly by these events. oh, any, any time you construct your home either loosely and out of actually starlight, i break mind. you don't reinforce it. i steal, you don't reinforce it, lead out even would frames would probably be able to function better and or as

great then might houses, which in that area where this one happened. i realize it's a difficulty. yeah. personally, we appreciate you joining us and all da 0. thank you very much indeed for your time man. thank you. thank you. the world health organization's backing the roll out of the 1st 7 vaccine against malaria. it's a big step in the battle against a virus, which is one of the leading killers of children and struck amended the job should be given to millions of children across africa, victoria gate, and the reports. it's being described as a game changer for child health, a vaccine that could help save the lives of hundreds of thousands of children each year in sub saharan africa. my letter has been with us for millennial, and the dream of my letter vaccine has been a long held, but an attainable dream. to day. the oddity as s mallet vaccine, more than 30 years in the making,

changes the course of public health history. the vaccine smith klein vaccine has been given to infants in gonna kenya. i'm allowing since 2019 as part of a pilot program, it was found to be about 30 percent effective at preventing severe cases of the disease which is transmitted through mosquitoes. but that figure raised to around 70 percent when the vaccine was combined with all the treatments, i think eradication is still a quite some time of it. but i think the combination of benefits kimura relaxes and dyslexia that may be other vaccines in the future. bring my love your burden of disease down substantially and africa. malaria causes fever, vomiting, and fatigue, and kills more than full $100000.00 people each year. mostly children on to 5 as well as pregnant women. the r t s. s. vaccine also known as musky ricks has been welcomed by researches as an historic breakthrough. but many on the continent worry

about funding and whether a mass roll out will be possible in the wake of coping 19 and other competing priorities. we, roman i are being a disease boss, especially i, by and large i and dizzy as far as from south africa, children. ah, and given the digital geez, that our companies are facing, which will that be international, clear g, r e is going to a stand up and make dyslexia available to with children needed. the world health organization recommends giving the vaccine to babies in 3 phases, followed by a beast, a shot, but that may take time. the next step is to the global vaccine alliance, known as gabby, to look at whether the vaccine is a worthwhile investment. if it's approved, gabby will buy it the countries that request it process that it's expected to take at least a year. victoria gayton, b al jazeera or u. s. federal court suspended

a bit of cold showing early signs of winter in touch. you could stand, for example, not quite afghanistan. and that breeze blows across the caspian buck, whose temperature 50 is actually where it should be, its average, but it probably feel a bit chilly in that breeze and it's generating showers in the north of iran as well. the breeze goes across the black sea, so it'll blow through the fuss, the boss for us. but beyond that, beyond these shall the rain progress coming into greece is a fairly dr. picture of a turkey down through cyprus and the levant wind, not strong. he had gathered about 20 degrees, most places, probably below 30. and as the season shows so the showers are coming slowly. sites with the sun still there are in lake victoria. ah, for the congolese, the journey to work or means unimaginable hans. i prefer to get the captain to chancing life and limb when

let me read it because she's really kept her cards mostly to herself and to her inner circle. it is also important that the vice president comes from the opposition party. she has been subjected to a tax of from the support. there's not just from the support this of the president, the president of the legal without the himself. she was a reluctant candidate. she was never really a politician. she was a rights lawyer who was only propelled to power when her husband died, who was interior secretary during the previous administration. she wanda, vice president and beat the son of a former president and dictator, fred marcus, all who is also going to be running for the presidency. so this is the service actually showing. she's 4th and the polls. but these are surveys that are seen to be preliminary at this point. and so pretty much it is an open game. but her announcement today makes her the opposition oppositions official candidate for the 2022 election. tell us about the other contenders and what the main issues are

gonna be when it comes to the election. well, so far, those who have announced are as you know, the world renowned boxer money back out, ascended their band to relax on. and manila mayor is got moreno, a lot of them, almost all of them are, you know, packaging themselves as the opposition. but actually they were allies of the president, the support that the drug war, the they were also some of them instrumental in a breath or prosecute persecution, of members of the opposition. so this is pretty much an open game at this point. and, and what is important to remember is that even though the line up the filing of the candidacy ends tomorrow, the lined up won't be final rob. that's because the commission election actually allows the switching of candidates until november 15. and there are a lot of discussions here that they might pull off, you know, something that was in that their dip labeled that there may be an announcement even

coming from the president of the legal that they're just family, that another presidential candidate may be announced in the coming weeks i was going to be interesting isn't a similar ellen dog and we appreciate it. thank you very much. indeed. the president of china and in your us are expected all talks before the end of the year . a strategic rivalries, been deepening between the 2 global powers on a variety of subjects, from trade to taiwan, top advisors to both joe biden and she, jim ping agreed to the virtual meeting. after 6 hours of discussions in switzerland, it's not clear, find the talks are going to take place, but there will be aimed at improving communication and relations. my connor has more from washington dc, was very significant, and leaders have agreed in their phone call that they held last month that it's essential for them to maintain open lines of communication. because of the nature of this broad relationship. they've made very clear that it's necessary for them to talk to each other, to try and lower what has been an immense amount of tension between china and the u

. s. at the u. s. phases at, in terms of competition. this is a word that china says it does not like it is seeking, it says a good relationship with the u. s. as it stands at the moment. president biden has now made clear that he will continue the policies instituted by his predecessor, in particular that agreement that was reached in january last year. the so called phase one agreement, in terms of which china made certain commitments which president biden says, he is now going to insist that china meets also staying in place. so other straight tariffs that president trump, then president trump, imposed no sign that the u. s. administration is going to change that there despite repeated calls from a number of businesses who are believe i'd be suffering from that particular trade tariff, a policy that was instituted by the trump administration. so very important though, from both leaders to keep the lines of communication open to avoid any

misunderstandings as it is put that might occur. i, schools and public universities are still closed across are gonna stand. and that's raising more concerns about education for girls. but it must have a chevy, if they're still welcoming classrooms as hush, omar, how bad reports girls are having to weigh their dreams against their worries for future. this is the only place in afghanistan where girls can go to school. mazata sheriff is a vibrant cultural and commercial center and schools have remained open since the taliban took over the country. here at go ha ha tune one of the most established elementary and high schools in the city, girls hope to pursue their studies and chase their dreams. i will make dream. oh, it's me all life, little print and i want to be an astronaut in the future. and it seems to be

decide about goes education. look at at the provinces. universities are still closed. the bahama, nor any, is the tally vans. senior culture and information official in the city. he says education is one of the top priorities for the leadership hormone, macarthur hall, and the school for open details and students go to classroom for life, normal, and curriculum to remain the same. we haven't changed anything so far. neuron is one of the many taliban officials who believe the u. s. and many european countries are trying to discredit the group when it is desperately seeking international recognition. the debate of a girl education in afghanistan has extended to what kind of role, where they have under the taliban rule. and will they get represented in the government and parliament? and most importantly, will the basic rise be protected? the taliban has dismissed international concerns about women's rights as

a propaganda and insisted the world must also respect of god. his dance culture and the taliban is conservative. outlook hash about about al jazeera mazata city are going calls to ban offshore oil explorations close to southern california. after a big leak from a pipeline more than half a 1000000 liters of spilled into the oceans and saturday, it's believed a ship's anchor may of hips, the underwater pipe residence in the worst affected city of huntington beach. have father lawsuit. i mean, the loss of income and exposure to toxins said his mayor says the beaches may be closed for months as the clean up continues. rob reynolds has more from huntington beach. every wave that breaks on the shore here brings with it more oil to be cleaned up. and while the exact cause of this spill has not yet been determined, suspicion is increasingly revolving around the possibility that an ocean going vessel dragged its anchor across the pipeline, distorting it, and causing

a. here is what the governor of california gavin newsome had to say about that. fossil fuel jobs literally are out numbered 5 to one versus clean energy jobs in the state of california. outnumbered 5 to one to day. this does not have to be part of our future. what you're seeing happening in this industry is a lot of the mature and larger companies are selling out to smaller companies. as i said, crews are working non stop to mop up the oil that has gotten into some, some, some very sensitive ecological areas like wetlands. but it is a huge task. and authorities estimate that the clean up will take months. the eruption of the volcano in the spanish island, la palmer is getting stronger. $6000.00 people to be enforced from their homes since it began on september 19th, rivers of lava have destroyed almost a 1000 homes. prosecutors in austria and investigating chancellor sebastian courts
