migratory, illegal status shouldn't be deported. but haiti is too dangerous. our own diplomats cannot leave our compound and quarter branch without armed guard and the already failed. essential services delivery. the haitian government is really overwhelmed in places like c d, so lead the biggest slum. and then the sphere i've seen pictures of, of waste and stuff. so deportation in the short term is not going to make a more stable. in fact, it's going to make it worse. daniel ford also talked extensively about the security situation in haiti saying that essentially porter prince is now being run by gangs and he was aware. 3 that in one day alone, there were 20 abductions. that's the point he makes about ations going back. the security situation is extremely darn. there really is no functioning government at the moment at now. of course, the biden administration's main policy is

please fill it. the swedish academy has promised to become less western centric, as well as less male oriented good is when follows. to female prize winners in 20192020 his books including after lives and the book of short listed paradise were written as he worked as a professor at the university of kent. demand for them could now go through the roof a half on the c, m at he half, where we don't have any more clue than anyone else who's going to win. and then when it's announced, people are excited and want to buy the books. there's often a shortage, so we have to be ready to order. they mean, as soon as the announcement is made of goodness, when breaks ground for african writing. although he still in a small minority of non western literature laureates. the swedish academy has faced questions over the prevalence of europeans and americans in its previous choices. and over the relevance of this, a 120 year old prize in today's world,

the sudden fame that has fallen on abdul ross art good in becoming the 2021 nobel laureates in literature, answers both of those questions. for this year, at least, polaris out his era stock i it's 20 years since the 1st u. s. air strikes him miss al attacks were carried out against al qaeda and taliban linked targets in afghanistan. and now after the taliban take over in august, businesses as struggling to stay afloat as the ve cash crunch and soaring food prices, keeping customers away as ama binge evade visited flower marketing. cobble where trade is far from rosie. in cobbled famous flower street, there is very little business now. after 20 years of the us led invasion, more than 2 trillion dollars spent thousands of us led coalition and fighters lives lost tens of thousands of afghan civilians killed. the only thing that has remained constant is the suffering of the afghan people. shopkeepers here have been telling

us that there is very little business for them these days. since the thought of on takeover, they say that there has been some semblance of security and safety. but they're not sure what the policy of this new government is going to be on this street. people used to pick up cards, the used to a set of flower beds for reading readings, and they've been telling us that they can't do it anymore because people just cannot afford it. people have not been paid for months. the banking system is near collapse and those who are actually have had some readings are saying to us that it is very difficult for them to organize those parties to feed their guests to figure out what is going to happen to the bride and groom once they get married, will they be able to enjoy their lives as a family? so the biggest concern that people have now under this new government 20 is on is what happens next. and what will be the future of their economics. in this new regime, the taliban says the international community should not use aid as

a political tool and as a tool to put pressure on its government and rather help the afghan people. we've been hearing statements from the united states as well as nato allies, seeing that, i understand, was lessons learned. yes, there was the debacle in going out of this country, but the risk was that if they continued, it will be an open ended conflict. so all in all, 20 years on the international community has spent trillions of dollars and replace the taliban with the taliban. the people of afghanistan are now waiting for this government as it continues to make statements that it is going to live up to the expectations that people have, that it is, they do serve the people. there is going to be noble corruption. there is going to be peace and security, and everyone in afghanistan will be included so far. remains as promises a ran sarmens to says he's country will stand by lebanon as it faces, as spiraling, economic in energy crisis. hussein and me abdul ayana tell talks in bay, wrote

complete, the m is complete the last 2 hours in face all this breach of that event on somebody. but more importantly, mr. me, his government, are you in order to, to find a way to get out of this economy and financial crisis. lebanon is in economic turmoil. it's seeking a bailout package from the international community. this could undermine iran's influence, since the much needed hard currency will have to come from the west and lebanon's, traditional allies, gulf arab countries. as of late, those governments shunned lebanon because of iran's influence here, as it is caught in the middle of different rivalry with saudi arabia. and the united states has below, is armed, and along with its allies, controls, political power in lebanon. critics say it is for the ring,

iran's agenda at lebanon's expense. we don't feel that liberal is the besieged boy or by any country. the only country that is so feuding or making ruben severe really. and the factors, felicia, was the international community. is the malpractice over you? i mean, it's proxies. the visit by iran's foreign minister was more of a message than one of substance. and while he received a warm welcome, lebanese officials were careful, at least publicly, not to position themselves firmly in one camp center for their elder cedar boot. the you and human rights council has voted to end its war crimes investigation in yemen. of the 47 member, you and council 21 countries voted against the resolution to extend the the investigation by cheese, with 18 in favor. independent investigators have said in the past that all signs in yemen, ongoing conflict have committed acts that amount to war crimes. newcastle,
