nature's fury is dangerous and exhausting. work would rather give whatever with the hope is the fire will stop when it runs out of fuel. but for the moment, the fuel is everything in sight. ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello and welcome. i am pete adobe. you're watching the news. i live from our headquarters here in doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. at least 60 people are killed by a suicide bomber in a conduit mosque in afghanistan's worst attack since the taliban takeover. jealous dmitri murat often maria resar win the nobel peace prize for their work to defend freedom of expression. picking up the pieces,

search and rescue team scow remote areas was a virus forming. a dirty quake in pakistan. also had early voting has started 2 days before iraq's parliamentary election, but there is anger among some who say they aren't allowed to cast a ballot and in sport, brazil, hit 3 in our latest world cup qualifier. and when i venezuela, keeping them on calls for next place in the next his finals in castle are back on level terms in caracas. ah, let's get going in afghanistan and the deadliest attack since the taliban took power and explosion inside the ship mosque was killed at least 60 people, and wounded more than 100 others. it happened during a friday prayer service in the northern city of condos close to the border with to g. you start? no group has claimed responsibility, but the taliban has been dealing with a growing threat posed by i. so let's speak to hush m r barrow. who's in northern

afghanistan in the city of missouri? sharif. what's the latest update you have for us? hash him on that blast? well peter, let me just update chill the latest about the blasting. can there's no local media or quoting m. some are security officials in funders. are saying that this was a suicide bombing attack, a suicide bomber managed to get into the, or the she r moss by mid day to day in punters detonated himself. and this explains the high number of casualties. we've been talking to people in hunters and they were basically saying that the scenes were horrifying. panic pandemonium and the aftermath of the glass was what was insane to the point where there was struggling to deal with. the human remains scattered over the ear throughout the back yard or of the mos people. a yet to identify the identity of the people who were killed,

but it expecting the death all to further climb in the coming hours because they're saying that many of the people injured were or what would in critical condition we've been talking to many people, senior taliban officials, they're trying to distance themselves from any visual announcement about who was behind by the are starting to point finger at these lie mc states of color, holler sandwiches. the ice in affiliated in up line is than any reaction from the taliban yet. well, peter, they have just announced that they have sent their illit unit. he has seen all the hell area and they're trying to figure out exactly what happened and try to and then defy the circumstances of the suicide bombing attack. this is a serious development that will have run if occasions on the status of the taliban

in the country because when they took over off line is turned on by the end of august. they said basically other than major asset is implemented safety and security across the country. this doesn't seem to be the case any more. ice gave, for example, managed to get its act together. rig grew, it's built or a focal point in the some parts of country in july about loss at accenture let about then move to the capitol about 5 days ago when it lodge and her where was behind a blast, where 5 civilians were killed. and now it hit ponders in the north targeting the hazardous she or has other minority enough had he said this is definitely going to put more pressure on the taliban. this is a mess as if that if ice care was behind this, it is definitely going to be a met his ac trying to further expand its footprint across of that is then leaving the taliban grappling with how to deal with security now that their main rival ice gate seems to be saying, there no way, no, no way. defeated, hasn't many. thanks,

sam. i'll borrow their report and load. the news are from missouri sharif or staying and afghanistan, the you and human rights counsel today at re to a point in you special reporter to the country. they will be responsible for monitoring human rights following the takeover by the taliban. amnesty international has welcomed the decision, saying an independent legislative investigative mechanism rather will be critical in the organization has accused the taliban of human rights violations, including targeted killings of civilians and a blocking of humanitarian aid. stephanie decker has more from cobble we haven't had any official reaction from the taliban as of yet in terms of, you know, whether they would cooperate with such a position. we're expecting that position to be taken up or on march of next year. but of course the a, the countries now controlled by the taliban, so any movement across the country needs to be coordinated with them. and then of course, if you have any taliban presence,

if you're interviewing any sort of survivors or victims of a legit atrocities, if you have any shadow been present, they will be a possible to speak pretty. it's already very difficult to verify things at the moment. there's a lot of reports of taliban going house to house intimidating those. it used to work for the government or with foreign forces translator. as you know, female judges gone into hiding because many prisoners were released. taliban chasing them. these things are very difficult to verify on an independent basis. and what is absolutely true is that people remain fearful, certainly in general about what the future holds. but i think this is also a message from the international community that the eyes are on the taliban. that they're trying to put pressure on them to adhere to certain things that were agreed upon in doha to this agreement. and of course, is that a time when the taliban once and needs international legitimacy, recognizing it as the official government of his country. because you're talking about millions and millions of dollars of aid that is being withheld. now that is really having an impact on the ground here people i cannot stress enough like do

not have enough to eat. they don't have the means to buy anything. people are selling their household items. you have many people who live and to mouth, day by day labor as you go out and simply survive on the little a few dollars they make a day. a day off for a powerful earthquake sheets pakistan southwestern richard, families of burying those killed and taking in the full extent of the destruction at least $22.00 people. all confirmed dead rescue was still looking for survivors. many more a wounded and they've been left homeless. and bellagio stones, honey, the worst truit region is asset bake. first came the 5.9 magnitude earthquake, then the death and destruction below. and now people a, bearing their dead. in this impoverished region of focused on the survivors have to try and rebuilt as of the live in georgia. but there is fear all over. we are all from a neighbourhood. almost the whole city will have to spend the night outside the houses . rooms of verandas are not in

a condition to spend the night there all have been damaged. most people here live in mud has is many of them were unable to withstand the force of the earthquake and collapsed as if those inside were asleep. prime minister him ron con, has sent his condolences and promised aid and compensation for those affected. but some say they are still in need of help aquarium, badly and haven't received any help from anyone, nor any of the government. officials have visited, we are in extreme distress and are in dire need of help living under open skies. after a my build homes were completely collapsed. it's not that this is vicky with this. the are big. i'm a poor lady with 4 kitch despite the fact that i did my masters am unemployed and that's why i'm worried about how i'll be able to rebuild my house as winter is approaching and i'm penny. logistically, job in some regions are isolated and rescue efforts have been further hampered after roads were blocked by landslides caused by the quake. hunter of people are displaced and we are trying to relieve them,

or we are thankful. a 2 hour armed forces and our army for quick transportation by her lease her to her to the she much greater or from this sparked i didn't. and her we are hopeful that her we are, are doing our 1st to hilliard them hospitals in the regional capital cueto or treating the injured but some of the countries poorest people live in the region small villages. and they will need the most help in the days, weeks and months ahead. i said, bake i g 0. plenty more still to come here on. the news are for you, including nigerian security forces, say they've lost one of the biggest rescue operations in the country's history. and health care on life support will tell you why the emergency department at lebanon's biggest hospital is almost empty. and in the sport, central african republic produce a huge upset and world cup qualifying, and he see with that story at about quarter to

ah, the nobel peace prize has been awarded to journalists, maria brezza, and dmitri murat. off the weekend. nobel committee announced the pair was joined when is that the 2021 prior to the ceremony and also share woman barrett rice. anderson commanded them for their fearless journalism. miss and miss the mirror are receiving the peace prize for their courageous high for freedom of expression in the philippines in russia. at the same time, they are representatives of all journalists who stand up for this id in the world in which democracy and freedom of the press case, increasingly the condition. well,

one of the winners arrested cold on the world to come together to stop the spread of full sneers. what has happened in our information is this by risk of life that has been introduced to the algorithms of the social media platforms. it infects real people and changes and if i compare it to an atom bomb, exploding in our information ecosystem and at the world must come together like it did after world war 2. to solve this problem, what did they do? they created the united nations. they created the universal declaration of human rights, the work. this is that kind of moment. and i don't know how we in the philippines will have integrity of elections. if guardrails aren't put in place around the social media platforms, journalists will continue doing our jobs. but they're always repercussions if you do a story, someone doesn't like why my 2 are slow, my colleague, rory,

challenger correspondence falling. that story. right. so this is journalism as piece campaigning, but i guess i mean you and i both spoken to maria, so she wouldn't describe herself as a campaign or per say. she's a hard, tough journalist primarily, but the consequences of what she says, what she prince go far and wide. yeah, and i think that's what the, the committee to know about committee in norway was alluding to balance. you were stating pretty candidly, actually, when it made the announcement when her barrett rice. addison stood up in front of the cameras and said why these 2 journalists were getting the award. what she said was her maria miranda and dmitri murat off her. we're giving this award because it's intended to underscore the importance of protecting and defending the fundamental rights of the freedom of information and the freedom of expression. because she said without freedom expression, without freedom of the press,

it will be difficult to successfully promote fraternity between nations. disarmament and a better world order to succeed in our time, those of the founding principles of the nobel peace movement. and that is why she said that these 2 journalists were being honest with it. that if you look into the countries that they are both reporting from the philippines and russia, both countries with fairly repressive, fairly autocratic governments tracking down on exactly those freedoms of expression . freedoms of information. we have to be to murat off who is the editor in chief of a publication called nevada, as yet it's been a bastion of independent journalism in russia. since the early ninety's. it's an organization that is no stranger to tragedy. it has lost 6 of its journalists and a lawyer over the years to violence, assassinations, murders,

one of those being the very famous sternness, anabolic of sky who was skills or 15 years ago, a couple of days ago, the anniversary of her death. so those kinds of environments that the nobel peace prize is trying to shine a light on and trying to combat laurie. thank you very much for a challenge there for us in our slow joining us live from manila is leanne began justice report. so fort wrap low the organization that maria dresser co founded leanne beyond welcome to the news i here and al jazeera. if according to the nobel committee, this is about freedom of expression, about being free or than you were before. does that mean that you, maria, and rattler that you are free or to do more of what you've been doing since maria reza set up the website? i live just braces take to be as free as me can be. every since rat larry wasa was create that. i mean there are attacks here in there. we've been fight to shut down in 2018 marie has been, has been convicted and not just rattler

a jesse been the largest network has been shut down. so there are threats to freedom, but filipino journalist, one thing to persist to be we and i think the bell rings us, you know, it's a vindication not such and an accurate nation that what wriggling, the, just absolutely legally when you stop doing a, when do you moderate what you're doing, so if you carry on doing it your a few steps or a few meters away from crossing a line and becoming opposition. politicians, setting yourself up to have a political fight with. let's be clear, rodrigo, to 30 because maria has been in his cross hes, for a long time now. i don't think we have do you know what bother a tour of the larry selves with what length to cross not to be political, you know, across the line over the political opposition. i think we just have to tell the truth. and if that truth gets in the crosshairs of the that rather than, than, that's what it is. and i think that that's what we are all during the lesson. the

philippines tried to do is just about that. you no matter what line it crosses, how do you try to put that ecosystem of algorithmic social media in a box that his honest fair and balanced? because maria says this is as significant what we're seeing at the moment, essentially a corrupt ecosystem of social media. and social media republishing. but media that is construed in a particular way, i, your website wrap law. she wants some sort of legislation or some sort of mechanism put in place around the world to make sure that that improves what it does. but surely that is impossible. well, i think what maria said earlier is that this nobel recognition should, you know, i'll give a booster that was, should not, by, not just by her, but by very journalists were big back to look and let the one themselves and do the

changes that been let's do i don't think that it's a job just for a journalist to do just are definitely not just for out like a do but you know, it's not a boosted it was for those in big did he okay, we must leave it there. not leon, we, on the in manila, thank you very much. russia has designated more than 150 news outlets and cios and charities as foreign agents. the authorities say the law is no different rules and other countries aimed at organizations that get support from abroad. but critics say the law is being used to silence russian independent media. that refuses to tow the kremlin line. bernard smith reports now from moscow to the russian state, the staff of this newsroom, a foreign agents, but dodged or tv rain has no connection to foreign governments. it is one of the few independent media outlets left in russia before every break and every program,

a message must by law appear on screen telling the viewer that what they're watching is created by russian legal entity performing the functions of a foreign agent. it's a designation that the stations management says is created to scare off subscribers and advertisers. you know that the history of russia, of terrible period of time with communism, where the foreign agent mark label was air in a, at a terrible thank a terrible thing. that meant that you can not have anything in common with the foreign agent. that's why, for some part of the society he in vash at that might be a problem. t v rein says it subscription model helps it stay on air for now. there are more than 70 news outlets. journalist, an activist on the foreign agents register, alexander kosky, was part of a team of journalists who had worked,

who rushes most respected business newspaper company when it was taken over by state and his giant ross left the editorial team left and set up v times website to him, within 10 months, they've been branded foreign ages. my explanation because we were, we became a one year less than one year, quite powerful. and we proved that we are serious. and we were independent for the state for normal functioning. there are only 3. are ways of feedback. this is a free media then on real elections. so normal political system and independent the direct vertical system. all 3 are destroyed and rush archie, america, rushes, law on. foreign media agents was adopted in 2017. not long after the u. s. justice department told russia today, america to register as a foreign agent. there. russia's federation council says activists and media it claims being sponsored from abroad, aren't being discriminated against,

but the public as a right to know who they are. now more than $200.00 organizations have signed an online petition asking for the foreign agents law to be repealed. bernard smith, al jazeera moscow early voting underway in parliamentary elections in iraq security forces, prisoners and internally displaced people accosting their ballots. 2 days ahead of a general vote election was one of the key demands of an antique government protest movement. the began in 2019 and that spring and mark went up to whitehead, whose life was outside the pudding station. in bagdad housed the voting process and the turnip going well, peter, it has been going normally as of yet and through the records who have been getting it from here in baghdad and other government rates. it goes around 40 percent turn out so far. this is the mid day report released by the high national election

commission, the independent state election commission. but here in this, sir, sir, and this is a pudding center here in baghdad at we've seen a low turn out in the morning at the out in the morning. then at $32.00, it's peak at noon around the noon time. then it went down drastically again, as you can see, the developed stations behind me like for example, this a bullet center has 5 bullets stations. but now empty and employees inside, they don't have any more voters to deal with. it seemed that the voters, they tried to add to a cast their votes at certain hours as you know that these are the see. as you know that these, these are security forces there that there were, are there, there were there, including other categories of the iraqi society, the displaced people, the security forces that belong to the ministry of interior. along with the prison in mesa, these categories, today's voting is allocated for them over

a 1000000 security forces. uh, we're also eligible for voting get today. this dupree of voting. get a day ahead of the of the general election day on sunday with the selection was a top demand, of course falling on from nationwide protest. how significant is that? well, its significance lies in the fact that it is one of the top demands of the 2019 a revolution that ousted prime minister that i've been mad about. the irony is the irony. as recently, the protest her as who called for election, they are boycotting. most of them are be cutting the election. they say that it is it producing the same old faces the same all dominant up political parties are running for office. and they believe that this election, despite the fact that it has it, has the region and an international at the significance above and also

a concern. but yet, many people here believed that it won't bring any change because it's just reproducing the same old part is the same old regime. they say that they cannot accept any change unless the political system as it changes. as you know, peter, that the political parties have been recently trying to shuffle their candidates chunk, changing phases, but does not mean changing policies that does not mean changing at agenda. so today is the pre voting day that is dedicated for the 7 categories. i just mention, and that's also preparing for the main general election day, the main verb voting day on a sunday. ok mac with many thanks. while among those casting ballots are internally displaced, people, but any haven't received their voting cards, something that is likely to affect the results. iraq, sidney muslin minority is also calling for a boycott saying they've been ignored by the central government. his him rank on a

proud display a political affiliations. the polls opened on october 10th, xerox parliamentary election, $423.00 candidates, are competing for 30 full seats and government here in, in of a province. but across the province, the turn out might not be what the candidates a hoping for. the provincial capital is mostly a predominantly suddenly muslim city. there's a lot of anger and frustration directed to the government in baghdad, who they accuse of forgetting about them because they're suddenly so much so that many a calling for a boycott of the vote. i heard via my credit i day. now what's voting going to change? nothing and at the same people will be in charge right after as they were before. ma, who's diesel, is a professor at the college of political science at mostly university. i want an hour to an artist, norman. there are many calls for a boy called the 1st is from the people frustrated with the old parties who have

controlled parliament since 2005. the 2nd is the failure, the government to compensate those who have lost homes, businesses, and live alone, particularly in the old city. the old city of mosul was devastated in the fight against iso. the group had declared it the capital of its territory. people have been slowly returning in small numbers, but most still live in displacement camps like this. this camp is home to about 5000 people at that, about 2000 or eligible to vote. however, only 700 people have actually received voting cards. now, what the rocky federal government is said, if those people want to vote, they have to go back to their homes. but their homes are in places like the old city of mosul, or in san jose when the most destroy places within iraq itself. now they have nothing to go back to this, no homes that they can return to. so they stay in this camp a lot. the camp management of said is actually the people they want. the rocky

federal government wants to return back to their homes. are actually some of iraq's most vulnerable. similar numbers are repeated across displacement camps, housing, rockies. they are in effect, refugees in their own country. it's not known just how many people won't be able to vote, but it's clear that people are voicing their frustration with the government loudly . and whether it's the boycott, the vote movement, or people's inability to vote both unlikely to have an impact on the polls. him wrong car, out a 0 hassan sham camp. nineveh proteins. my dear in security forces, say they freed, at least a 187 hostages, held by armed bandits. the hostages, which included some babies, were rescued from a forest ins. i'm faro state where they'd been held for weeks. nigerian forces recently launched a major security operation against kidnappers, in the states which borders near atlanta address is life was included in the ultimate just take us through what happened here. well peter,

and like you said in the introduction are, this is part of a wider approaches against bandits that involved and ground troops in the region. not only suffer a state, but other states affected by of the may him caused by armed groups, especially bandits who kidnapped for ransom russell cows and displeased villagers for in the north west of the country, we talking about at least 4 or 5 of the southern states in north west nigeria, now these operations have been going on and ahead of these operations are there were measures a raft of measures announced by governments in the region, announcing measures that will help security forces deal with the situation. these include the cutting of telephone networks and those areas banning the cell of petrol in cannes and other containers. and also banning the use of motorcyclists in the region, which is of course ah, the preferred means of transportation by these band is because it's easy to

maneuver in the forest and other bushes with motorcycles rather than heavy duty vehicles. they've also announced the shutting down of markets, transportation of animals which of course the bandits go and rustle and sell to make profit and buy more guns and continue the operations. and as the operations continue, we hear reports of these bandits after their camps have been destroyed by military, bombardments, and ground forces. they are, they are beginning to move to other states in the northwest and central parts of nigeria. so it's still an operation going on in northwest nigeria and probably in north central parts of niger peter at man, man, thanks at man. it was their reporting life for us out of could do not time he will, whether his rob mckelly we have now a name for this circulating cloud. it's lying rock, a tropical storm. it's a tropical storm, defined by the strength of wind, got stronger montgomery typhoon, but it will not do that is main contribution to dangerous weather has been the rain so far its cause flooding in han and now it's raining heavily along the coast grand

on and also in central viet nam, it carries with over the open water for me to wave it will carry with a one me to storm. such a high tide will be a meter high that is normal, mainly across the coast of this part of china and north in viet nam. so that's his position. the outer edge is going to catch hong kong. it's already started. you got strong easterly winds, i think the next 2 days it'll rain almost continuously, things are improve as the rain ceases and the wind drops on monday and the temperature starts to rise. and the other massive cloud is turned into composite. also tropical storm, drifting slowly towards the north, lose on may be tie one, but the immediate future, this is the want to watch, like rock. now part of the same system which is really retreating monsoon is this line here, giving some pretty heavy rain to the end of london, nick about aisles and some fairly heavy rain up to the deck and platter throughout southern india. still to come here on this program, the european union sends
