1:08 pm
iran's foreign minister is in beirut as lebanon reels, under spiraling economic crisis a month now after the formation of a new government. jose and ami a de la hand met with lebanese prime minister, michelle. our terran is an important back of has been which is also one of the main groups in lebanon's government. iran has been sending fuel shipments to lebanon as the country experiences what the wild bank calls. one of the west economic collapse is anywhere over the past. a 150 years. on wednesday, the lebanese army, as you can see, prevented angry crowds from storming a bank after being unable to withdraw cash supplies of fuel medicines and basic necessities all running quickly. le, let's speak to our correspondence in a honda in beirut, zanna, this is obviously an important visit, especially given what terrans already doing. how is a ron's role viewed there in lebanon? well, the hans role in lebanon is very divisive. it's a ally has for law controls,
1:09 pm
political power, of course, along with its allies. they control parliament, they control government. but critics of the group believe that it uses its weapons because this was the only group that was allowed to keep its weapons after the civil war. in 1990 to impose its will on the lebanese state to impose iran's agenda in lebanon. in fact, they accused iran really using lebanon as a bargaining card in its negotiations, either with the americans or the saudis. lebanon is entangled in the regional conflict. there were some protests yesterday. some of the people described iran's role as one of an occupation that lebanon isn't occupied country, but his visit comes really at a critical time for lebanon. you mentioned the economic turmoil, lebanon is a much need of hard currency dollars. this is something iran cannot provide, so lebanon is reaching out to the international community, the west, the international monetary fund. but if the international community gives that money,
1:10 pm
then reforms will have to be carried out. traditional parties like has bella, will weaken their influence over the state. so iran's, the influence will weaken. so if i'm really trying to assert its presence, show that it is a main player and lebanese politics. and it, too, is a stakeholder at a time that are many western envoys are, are visiting, are visiting lebanon, xena, and feels like every time we speak the crisis there has deepened even further. how much do you think this help from iran? this engagement, especially when it comes to fuel, how much will that change? things isn't actually enough to tide. anything over know the fuel and diesel shipments are just not enough. its not a sustainable solution to the crisis. there are still a fuel shortages because the owners of petrol stations, the site to horde the fuel and create a black market. there's just no state in lebanon to be able to clamp down on
1:11 pm
smuggling because a lot of fuel is being smuggled to syria. you mentioned earlier, people protesting outside banks, their savings are trapped and banks. they have no access to their money, which really has lost value because the local currency has been in free fall. it's bio mentioned. that's why the only way out for lebanon right now is to get dollars and to get dollars from the international international community. the fuel shipments are undoubtedly alleviated some of the suffering, the shortages of people, but that was more of a propaganda geopolitical a victory. iran saying that, you know, we are, we are here. but at the end of the day, the lebanese officials, they're stuck in the middle, really caught in this, in this conflict because they talk about good relations with arab countries. but arab countries, gulf arrow countries, lebanon's traditional allies, have shunned at the lebanese state for the past few years because they feel it as controlled and dominated by iran, then a 100 there with all the latest for us from buried. thank you so much, dana. well,
1:12 pm
there's still plenty more i had you. the sneeze are included right in and ask them said he wake dolls and can still attend high school that are still deep the apprehensive about the future on the front line of argentina's drug trade, we joined the lease on raids and one of the country's most dangerous dishes and, and sport, the world heavyweight boxing champion hits packet accusations that he's a cheese. ah, now the world health organization is backing the roll out of the fast, ever vaccine against malaria. it's a huge step in the battle against the virus, which is one of the wilds leading killers of children. it's recommended. the job should be given to millions of children across africa, the tory gate, and be 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
1:13 pm
year in sub saharan africa. monica has been with us, poor millennial, and the dream of my letter. boxing has been a long held, but on a tenable dream to day. the r t s. s. money vaccine. more than 30 years in the making changes the course of public health history. the vaccines smith, klein vaccine has been given to infants and gone at 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 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 like seats in the future will bring us malaria burden of disease down
1:14 pm
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 muscular 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 coven, 19, and other competing priorities. we've roman i are being a disease boss, specially i by and large and dizzy as far as sub saharan african children. ah, and given the digital geez, that our country is, are facing our which will that be international? clear g, r e is going to, i stand up and, and make dyslexia available to with children needed. the world health organization recommends giving the vaccine to babies in 3 phases, followed by
1:15 pm
a boost to shoot. but that may take time. the next step is for 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 for countries that request it process that it's expected to take at least a year, victoria gate, and be al jazeera or malcolm webb has more now from nairobi and tanya where there are about $3000000.00 cases of malaria every year. hey, kills hundreds of thousands of people every year. almost all of them here in africa . world health organization estimate that it killed me. 400000 people in africa in 2019. now some great gains are be made in the fight against malaria. but those stormed in recent years is important to understand is very unequal, disease in urban areas. in wealthy areas, people are much less likely to get it much more likely to be able to treat it. if they do, it can be as simple as going to a pharmacy, getting a test, buying the medication and take it now in poor rural areas. it's
1:16 pm
a completely different story. the made, you know, pharmacy noted it, people can't afford to go there. and in some of the most malarial regions in the continent, people are getting dozens of infected bites, bites from infected mosquitoes every week. and it's in these kinds of conditions where people are constant and fighting malaria and other diseases, that is much more likely to be fatal. particularly to children in these kinds of areas that the scientists hope that this vaccine could make a big difference. but of course, it depends on the extent of the rollout and of course on how effective the vaccine actually is. well, it's now been 20 years since a us led coalition fired it's fast air strikes on taliban controlled afghanistan in response to the 911 attacks, the so called war on terror, targeted al qaeda and other taliban linked groups. tens of thousands of people were killed. americans, the longest war finally ended in august with their chaotic troop withdrawal and the taliban back and power. let's take
1:17 pm
a closer look at what's happened over the last 20 years. president george w bush orders an invasion after the september 11th attacks that swept the taliban from power. none of the attackers were afghan, but the u. s. said the company, the country was harboring al qaeda and osama bin laden by the end of 2007, there were 25000 us troops deployed as the taliban began to rebuild itself. cheers laser, then you as president brock habana announced a trip, said the number rising 280-0000 in may 2011 us special forces killed at ben lot and in pakistan and trip numbers were then reduced to 3 and a half 1000 in september 2018 peace talks began between taliban leaders and us diplomats in cattle that led to the eventual withdrawal of old coalition forces from afghanistan in august of this year. that happened as the taliban seized back palin. when it speak to our correspondent, a sum of inch of aid is on the ground and cover for us as i'm
1:18 pm
a 2 decades on this is really less and fairly profound skulls that well dissociate 20 years later what has happened in afghanistan is that the us led coalition has replaced the taliban with the thought lavonne. now the taliban are empowered. they are in control of the whole country. a greater than 22001. they were only in charge of the eastern and sentence pods and the northern parts were congested. the thought of on say they are back in power. it is a different thought of on, according to them, they are going to respect not just human rights, but women's rights and international norms as well. and most importantly will not let afghan soil be used against any other country by any group, such as alti, there, iso or others. but this is the situation on the streets and toppled. we're in the famous flower street where people are telling us that what has remained constant in the last 20 years is the suffering of the people. of guns are still poor. they do
1:19 pm
not have access to their own cash from the banks. they do not have jobs or prospects and have been stun. i've been seeing an exodus of people even before the thought of and came to try and find refuge. another a view of areas, try and find security and peace. what has happened in the last month and a half since the thought about have been in power is that there is relative security in the street, the kidnappings for ransom, the petty theft, the crime snatching of mobile phones is down. but people are still afraid. they do not know what's gonna happen a few months down the line. the thought about government has not been accepted by the international community and the economy is suffering. and then again, there is the problem of women's rights in the new taliban lineup of its government . there are no female members present. there are very few members of the ethnic minorities which make up this diverse country. and the cabinet is dominated by wish tune taliban people who they trust who have been fighting. so it is going to be an interesting transition for the taliban to change from a fighting force,
1:20 pm
which has been at odds with various governments and forces for the last 20 years to now effectively govern the country. and trust more people, more bureaucracy, more technocrats to be part of its government so that it can work for the people who replenish them. as only you mentioned the international community that i see, the russians are now inviting the taliban for talks. i know it's early days, but is this potentially a sign that they are living towards grayson's national legitimacy, perhaps when it is quite interesting, decided even before that i live on to go where you saw the thought of and gold co founder going around across the globe are stopping in russia in pakistan, in iran, going to central asian staves, going too far east asia are trying to consolidate support, which hasn't translated into recognition of a taliban government. yet the international community is still demanding from the taliban that they need to live up to their promises. the schools for, for instance,
1:21 pm
sir, girls over 12 remain closed. very little university students are very few are going there up. they're also curbs and the media. so all of that is being demanded by the internationally community mean in the mean by the humanitarian aid agencies. hes been saying that time is running out. this is a been fee which is dependent on international aid and support. and millions of people are at risk here in of gun to son. so that them announcement from the russians that they were going to be talking to the thought about to try and invite them on the 20th of october is still early. i spoken to thought about sources who say that they will consider the request, but they have not decided whether it's going to be a delegation, who's going to lead it is going to be on those dates. and what will be the agenda of those dogs. but certainly thought about trying to look for legitimacy from the partners are not just on the ground here, not just in the neighboring countries, but from international countries as well. we've heard of, we've seen the various diplomats doing the rounds meeting the thought of on. but it
1:22 pm
has so far fallen short of any recognition or the release of funds which this country desperately needs a summer been to evade there for us in cover with all the latest. thank you so much santa. well, let's now bring in for him, said art he is in afghanistan, and less enjoined just now as i escaped from hamburg in germany for him when us troops arrived in parts of afghanistan 20 years ago, in many places they were welcomed. how is the united states perceived in afghanistan now? well, when they intervention us hopping the people who thought this would be the end of the suffering, a new dawn for the country. there wouldn't be democracy and a liberal values that promoted an laughlin governing institution with the international community engaged and ready to be married. got the most power or and he can be reached 3
1:23 pm
out why he would be made to your situation. i would improve and that would be a broad base government where it would be, but it would also be human. right. and i think right, chris, thank you bye bye. after the withdrawal of the americans now and looking at the current situation, it seems that the $21.00 was a commercial breed within the state. so what we see now is the continuation of the state. so when the american and they're being, they're working on this was not something that we are on people who are expecting 20 years or the bench and
1:24 pm
millions of dollars things. and many times we wouldn't be watching the sort of the greek is over for him. you mentioned the lives lost in a scale, a civilian casualties has been enormous. hardly any one hasn't lost someone in their family most have lost many. and as the us actually left, we saw that drones strike that took out 10 civilians, including so many children. and clearly, the nature of us warfare here has changed with still those seeing civilian deaths. do you expect more over the horizon drone operations now? and how might afghans view that? well, i believe that when their boots on the ground, they were not able to defeat the direct insurgency. and now are you see that you feed off conflict coverage? you started in atlanta, and this time it is a, a,
1:25 pm
an insurgency change it into our government. and newark insurgency, or as your terrorist diet is the rising. and if we look at the previous experience where the american military there presents could not do either. insurgency, i do think now over the horizon operation would be able to do the job on dual di, she's a smaller race. i think got married recently, handled by a major on be gone. existence could not beat any surgeon see being over the horizon. operations would not be able to eliminate the dietary the central for him saddam there in afghanistan, unless speaking to us from hamburg and germany. great. get your thoughts on out there. thank you for joining us for him. well, as you had our correspondent,
1:26 pm
as on the verge of aid saying high schools and public universities are close to girls and most of afghanistan, and that's raising worry is about their education. but in mazar e sharif, they are still welcome in classrooms. as are some, albert reports girls are weighing their dreams for the future against the uncertainties of the present. this is the only place enough gun eastern 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 her hat on 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 a big dream to achieve in a van stone. but i also sunday

1:30 pm
there's been a lot of flooding in italy recently, but the system that bring it in is this massive clad here is edging slowly eastward . so now the threat is more the other side of the aid reality. because wrapped around that load is a great deal of white clad, which is the rain bag stuff, but also strong winds. otherwise you look up here and that's really over the ocean, the north atlantic and i stood with dragging its feet and bringing raining to ireland and scotland. but that's the area of most dramatic weather. i think throughout the next 2 or 3 days, there are no particular warning gas moment except for the strengths of the wind, the border winders in the northeast to the it comes across croatia, downwards, dalmatian coast, but i think it'll be flooding initially all the same. now as for autumn, but it's just being held back at the moment. yes, it's wet in ireland, scotland and norway. but south that is for the court quite a bit of a warm blue 2 to 5 degrees above average, temperature wise for quite a few places. mud you, if you're further south, it's a croatia down to grease,
