a high security measures have been put in place to secure this editorial law process. but he, at the turnout is, is still at low. and that could be also explained because of the, some kind of disillusionment among people, especially young people who are this is how are up disappointed that in fact, at the political parties, you know that these are the boy cutters. most of them are at the young people who rose up against corruption and get his mismanagement in 2090 in what is known as the the that the sri revolution. and by the way, it's still in going and the people are cutting this. the people have to show our beginning of this election. they say that because it is not bringing any change because it, it is just reproducing the same old parties despite the fact that the same old parties have been re shuffling their candidates. they have been presenting at different phases, but yet the revolutionaries in iraq across iraq say that the because the selection,

because it is not going to bring the, the change they hope for. now the security measures have been put on high alert, as you know, that all airports and borders across iraq had been closed since at 9 p. m last night. and then this would remain the same situation until the end of the voting. the process. again, the movement between a given rates has been restricted except for those who have biometric cards. the biometric cause that is that is that should be used for the casting. the vote now here in baghdad, security measures had been on highlights again and some other governments, as i mentioned, and dep officials, including the president of the states. but some solid and the prime minister of a prime minister must have academy. they have just cast their votes, a, it's a kind of a trying to a message, convey a message to the people that they should go for the pose. they should vote,

i think it sort of reflects the current feeling and as a taiwan itself, where you find, i think the majority of the people at the moment, at least, are equally resistance to all of this pressure that's being exerted from across the taiwan strait from china. and saying, when we've written, saying when referred to that directly talking about china exerting this precious, she said more and more that's tie. one could not relax. also referring to the ag increasingly assertive at times, aggressive posturing in the east china. see where a taiwan is located. evidence this incursion a bye up to 150 war plain sir last weekend. so as she said that they had to resist that this kind of pressure that was being exerted by her, by china, and also referring directly to the example of hong kong. where of course we have seen in the recent months with the application of the national security law,

various freedoms and rights, which had been enjoyed by people here for a number of years. i have simply been eroded away. china and the government here would argue that he's not the case that it still enjoys certain freedoms that do not exist on mainland china. but many people here would say that it is, they are not getting the kind of rights that they were guaranteed and saying when's warning to a taiwan is that if we follow the same path as hong kong, we too will lose those freedom. so she wanted her hong kong to serve as a warning to taiwan. so when it comes to the whole point of re unification, the process. yes, the have been these renewed calls are from she gym, ping of china that i should be a peaceful re unification saying when's a view is that the island of taiwan will determine what its future will be saying that the future of taiwan and our is in the hands of its people,

talks between us and taliban officials of entered the 2nd day here in doha, the 1st in person meeting since the armed group seize power in august, security, aid, evacuation flights. the rights of women. these were all disgust on day one. the taliban has ruled out cooperating with the united states in the fight against i soul. in afghanistan, as after a series of attacks, including fried his bombing of a sheer mosque in condos or killed at least 60 people. natasha can aim following events from dough hiron. what more can you tell us? what most coming out of all of this is this a good start given we're dealing with, you know, effectively to new sides. in these discussions. the afghan delegation led by the acting foreign minister, american mo mo talkie came here with duelling economic and humanitarian crises at home on top of emerging and emerging security threat by iso in afghanistan. and it

is clear that it needs international recognition, but more importantly, the money that will flow as a result of that recognition. at the start of the talks, the u. s. made clear that these talks are a quote, continuation of pragmatic in tank engagement with the taliban, and not granting recognition or conferring legitimacy to the taliban that that will have to come with a, quote, sustained track record. so what we heard from a foreign minister because the americans are not talking on the record at this point is that we heard assurances, we heard please for assistance and warnings on saturday, the acting foreign minister ma talkie said that he understands that a stable afghanistan is not only important for off guns, but important for the international community that it wants positive relations and dual commitments with the united states, as well as the international community. it also says that it expects the

international community to help afghanistan with its significant financial woes. i'll get into that in just a minute. but it also issued a warning. he also issued a warning saying that no one should de stabilize the government or metal in internal affairs and that the wishes of the afghan people must be respected on the issue of assisting afghanistan with its major financial stressors. the united states government as a means of leverage. once the taliban came into power post. august has frozen about $10000000000.00 in africa and assets and groups like the international monitor refund in the world bank have stopped providing a financial assistance. so what the taliban leaders here are looking for is some much needed assistance. the u. n. refugee agency is issuing awarding today saying that 3 and a half 1000000 afghans have been displaced by war,

half rely on foreign aid. and if that assistance by the international community does not begin flowing again, there will be quote, a catastrophe by winter with regard to security. yes. the taliban leaders are saying they will go it alone. they can on their own, contain the threat of iso in afghanistan. but surely the united states delegation as well as the afghan delegation, will be looking to see if they can find any common ground on the issue of security . the united states of the international community remain very worried that afghanistan will return to being a safe haven for arm groups and use as a staging ground for attacks elsewhere. in the meantime, we know that the united states is not the only focus of the afghan delegations meetings here. they have met with countries, and they will be meeting with representatives from the e. u and other countries. in the coming days. natasha going on keeping eye on the taliban. you as talks here and don't abdullah,

also libya. in fact, tripoli could see some thunderstorms on sunday, with a hive 26 degrees. seasick ah, the end of the country with an abundance of results trade far and walk indonesia whose firms for me, we move pool to grow and fraud. we balance for green economy, blue economy, and the digital economy with the new job creation law, indonesia is progressively ensuring the policy reform to create quality jobs investment. let me park linda. this is growth and progress in indonesia now. ah

oh, on al jazeera, these all the top stories this, our voting began in iraq to elect to new parliament. and a poll brought forward in response to mass protests. prime minister most barrel academy was among the 1st to cost a balance and an attempt to encourage turnouts, tilts between the united states and taliban officials and doug harv into the 2nd day. the 1st in person meeting since the arm group sees power, security aid in women's rights from the gender fist towns president, sighing when says had government will not bow to pressure from beijing. she was speaking during national day celebrations. remember in the past week, nearly a 150 chinese jets of approached tie ones at defense. so returning to our top story, the iraqi elections. and we are back to enron. khan, who is in the northern city of mosul, hopefully can hear me. all right. why don't you take us on

a little tour of the straits there and show us what's happening and run well, you know that big security plan, the iraqi government put in place where you can actually see it in action here. there's 2 checkpoints in this main voting center of mosul, one at the very top of the road where all the equipment, anybody's bags, everything, etc, is searched. then there's another check point. just there were those 2 soldiers are and then there's the entrance to the polling station there. that's one of the biggest putting stations in mosul about 8000 people are registered to vote in that particular pulling station. we haven't seen any kind. oh no, no it neither kinds of numbers that it would suggest that we're going to come to that pulling station build big trickle. but it is still very early here. it's like, you know, goes past 9 ah, pulling closes at 6 o'clock. what are the main issues here, though the people are voting on? well, basically, it's the relationship with baghdad. this is

a suddenly majority city. as any muslim majority city, they say they've been ignored by baghdad that they haven't been given any helps, particularly since the war against deisel came to an energy 1017. and that's really what they're very angry about. so whether that translate the anger translates into people coming to vote or just simply ignoring the vote at remains to be seen. but if the numbers that i've been seeing and you can see empty street behind me that, ah, it doesn't look like there's going to be a huge amount of turn out when it comes to this particular police station. okay. there's a, a boycott, the vote movement around, you think that's a factor or the boycott. the vote movement has been very interesting here in mosul. it's been very, very vocal. now one of the big things that one of the reasons it say they say that they boycotting the vote is because actually voting. they say, doesn't change anything. what the protesters wanted down in the south of the

country and what the sunny muslims wanted. it was representation of their voices within parliament itself. remember, this is a parliamentary election we're talking about. so the biggest party, whoever gets the majority, gets to vote. and the prime minister that's never happened. so it's normally a consensus, canada, which means it's basically the one person, all the parties can agree on. and oftentimes that person isn't particularly powerful, and he becomes prime minister is just the guy they can all agree on. now, unless that changes and say people hear their voices aren't going to be heard. so there's a lot of frustration, a lot of anger. so let's see what happens head throughout the day. we will and we'll be back with you later on again. and ron can in must so at least to 20 people have been killed in nigeria as scott, a state after gunman attacked, and marcus on groups continuing to disrupt life of millions in the north west. and as i did jer, supports from kaduna state governors are arming, local people to fight back. wow. these are members of what's

called the community, visual or service. and they ought to protect their communities from other gangs. they soon see people with motor bikes. we often used by armed groups and are banned by the state government. they attempt to make arrests but are forced to retreat. in the last 3 years, criminal gangs have over on communities in nigeria, especially in the north and with federal forces overstretched, local people like these are being trained and equipped by state government to provide security. this undertaking the hath with the police and with us ever ready to go with it because it has affected them directly and that italy, they have lost relations. they have lost properties. they have lost their houses. so you can imagine this an angry man can do anything when he's 1st,

so they're not deterred because of what they were physically bonded. thousands of people have been killed by armed groups in the region. in recent years, thousands more have been kidnapped, including school children, ransoms of hundreds of millions of dollars are estimated to have been paid by state governments and relatives of the victims states in nigeria, i increasingly turning to vigilantes to help secure their communities. but as the number and sophistication of criminal and growth grow, there are concerns that lightly ambridge lantus like this may not be a match for groups armed with anti aircraft guns, people also divided over whether to help malicious get better weapons. experts won't creating local, delicious or so called vigilantes may prove counterproductive. because by the time you are done was unbundled 3 and
