also coming up. soon as he is president, how you seed on bales and you government. but gives no hints about loosening his divisive power. grap, rebels in ethiopia as to cry, reach and say, government forces of launch that all out ground defensive against them. a highly anticipated assassination trial begins in burkina faso, the former president, blaze computer, who's among the accused is refusing to attend. ah, in the last hour the you and chief said the wealthier to find a way of getting money and assistance into afghanistan. now to prevent a humanitarian crisis, engulfing half the population. and tony garish has praised the efforts of the aid agencies, but he said it's not enough. you meditating assistance saves lives, but if you lot solve the problem, if the economy of afghanistan collapses,

we also need to make sure we do everything we can to prevent the economic collapse of the country already before the taliban takeover. in august afghanistan's fragile economy, which has been kept afloat by foreign aid over the past 20 years, suffered from the impact of drought and coffee. right now with s, it's frozen and development, age pulsed, the economy is breaking down, banks are closing, and the central services such as l, scared and been suspended in many places. we need to find ways to make the economy but he again and these can be done without violating international laws or compromising principles. we must seek ways to create the conditions that will allow often professionals and civil servants to continue working to serve the african population. i urge the world to take action and inject

liquidity into the african economy to avoid collapse. live now to the un and of diplomatic added sir james space. so james, how does mister katasha anticipate the world being allowed or getting into re floating the afghan economy? well, the timing for this peter is very important, and that's the g 20 r meeting in extraordinary session. in the next 24 hours, they're going to be having a video conference of g. 20 leaders are they? they're not going to meet in person in rome, in just 2 weeks time and said, that's why you're hearing this plea from the secretary general right now. now what they're not going to do the g, 20 or many of the other countries of the world is actually hand over the assets of afghanistan. thought to be about $10000000000.00 that have been frozen and give that to the taliban government. that is a non starter, i'm told by diplomats they say that the u. s. and many other western countries are

opposed to that. so what the u. n is now working on is a different plan, drawn the jack money into the afghan economy and what they're going to try and do is use trust funds. what one from the world bank, one from the u. n. development program, for example, but there are others. i'm told as well and don't put the money into those trust funds and that money in those trust funds will be used to pay for vital supplies use to pay for salaries of, of, or of medical workers of teachers potentially without the money going into the taliban. hands, that is what the 2nd general is working on, and that's what he's trying to persuade. the countries of the g 20 to support and trust his idea on this, james many thanks. james bass, our diplomatic editor there. in new york, afghanistan's acting foreign minister has been speaking in doe har about what he calls a new phase and the taliban relationship with the world. he led a delegation to qatar for the 1st face to face meetings with the u. s. and the

e. u. since foreign force is pulled out of cobble, lemme died, a group of on would agree a new chapter of the positive relationship with the world was opened. the door agreement in february 2020, between afghanistan and the united states of america is defined as good relationships. i believe that the full implementation of the doha agreement between us and the u. s. can tackle any problems. that is why it is important that both remain committed to the doha agreements. we want positive relationships with the whole world. we believe that such balanced international relations can save afghanistan from instability at the same time. so in bas robbie, as our correspondent, following those discussions in the category capital for us, this our zane, every one talking about women's rights in afghanistan, including the un secretary general in the last 90 minutes or so. is the taliban talking about women's rights today? that's exactly right peter. really the rhetoric in new york and in doha has really

been on point today, the acting foreign minister of the afghan taliban government. mr. mckee here in doha spoke during his speech at a center for conflict resolution about inclusivity inclusivity. he said is not a problem under the taliban. and he boasted about the fact of $500000.00 civil servants there worked under the former government have not been fired, have not been placed under threat, have been told to come back to their jobs and are currently working. he said that passports are being issued again and women are part of that workforce. he was asked point blank in a follow up question. does that $500000.00 strong civil service include women? and he said in one word, yes, he expanded on that then saying that they've been told to come back, those that haven't are still being paid their salaries as a show of good faith, a 100 percent of those that worked in the health care sector are back to work 50 percent of those that work in the education sector are back to work. so again, the rhetoric on point it would seem that the taliban may have turned to page. the rhetoric is very different from what we've seen in the past with regards to the

role of women in a government under the afghan taliban. so these are potentially positive signals, but we have to remember that have gone on is a difficult some would say impossible. country to govern from a centralized place from what we seen in the early days of the taliban takeover of of gone asked on what main players of the taliban were saying. and places like del, high and cobble wasn't necessarily reflected on the ground we saw in the early days in local communities, in rural areas, in various provinces that girls were sent home from school. young women were sent home from universities and women in the workforce were sent home and told to send men from their household to take their place in the workforce. so these continue to be major issues and the wider world has said that in negotiating with this taliban government, they will look to the taliban actions, not their words. and if that is the case, we've seen a commitment by the time of mind to re insert a strict interpretation of sherry,

a law of islamic sharia law in their new islamic emirate. of, of garnish down. now for a lot of the people that the taliban will be sitting across the table from in doha, they're from europe. they're from the united states and they will see the implementation of sherry, a law potentially as a direct contradiction of many western standards of women's rights. so the reality is that this remains very, very complicated. and women's rights is one of those things that is likely to remain a major sticking point when it comes to granting both humanitarian and economic relief for of gornstein under the new taliban government. st. thanks so much zoomed us robbie. there i corresponded in doha preliminary election results in iraq point to a strong results for the shia cleric looked at all sutter's party. the election commission revealed the partial figures earlier and also confirmed a low turn out just over 40 percent. that is the lowest since europe introduced its democratic system. after the 2003 us led invasion, our correspondent,

the fact that alicia that says that it goes through on. so these are, these are the do, there is in this, in this selection for the caught and from there speak up mohammad, how goose also is emerging as one of the big winners with 38 seats. at least also, this is what is being announced, what these are not final results, fill them on. and however, that also some a winners who are not expected. for example, the, the son of the former defense minister during saddam hussein's rain assault on hash of his son charlotte, one in this election is going to be an m p in the cell. and you a following. so a lot for does a lot of loses, this is going to have its impact on the whole situation in iraq. and it will also create a lot of controversy over how the new prime minister is going to be choose chosen.

who is the king maker? is this going to put once again the ball in the, a court of the external by the foreign powers international regional falls? these are the questions that are being asked right now in, but the only briefly is the center of gravity in iraq. he politics is shifting one way or the other, depending upon who it becomes the face of iraq. he politics, what sort of impact will that have on relations around the region? what region the iraq right now as a point for dialogue? we heard in the past few weeks in iran, a saudi out of ya talking over here. it says that the regional weight is still heavier than the local res. i'm a and the law kill winners. will have domestic winners will have to deal with the regional layers and international players because they have higher leverage on

their how big influence across the iraq institution. i thank you so much. any hashem, their report in life was this i out of the iraq 8 capital tennessee. as president car you said has approved a new government more than 2 months after he fired the last one. they have been appointed under a decree that k said announced following his seizure of additional powers in july. he is liada. when latino tunisia has spent the last 11 weeks without a government look at them too low until now 30 nozzler bowden who was named as tunisia as 1st female prime minister last month has sworn in her cabinet, which includes $23.00 ministers. 9 of him are women versa, though, had he been dolah, that is the state department's require an assessment, analysis and reconstructing. we aim to rearrange the priorities and regain trust and whole of the objectives of the cabinet team are based on the following points. and 1st to regain trust in the state. in july president,

i studied suspended parliament in sac, the prime minister. in september, he assumed all executive powers and began to rule by decree. and while announcing plans to amend the constitution of commerce were la shawna and the 25th of july was a historic moment. i took that decision after trying all means of reasoning with them, but it was all in vain. said he'd says he sees power to tackle tunisia growing economic crisis. but his opponents call it a q. parliament should be approving this government according to the new decree. that's not the case, though i know there will certainly be among the president's critics to question the validity of this government. but nonetheless, the, even the supporters of the president said this is the something that he needed to do to sort of name a new government sort of set forth in 2011. tunisia was the 1st country to see large anti government protests that became known as the arab spring. in recent months,

thousands have turned up to those same streets to protest against what they call a power grab by their president. be fear they may lose the democratic rights they gained 10 years ago. what am i gonna? there is no place for those who have wanted to undermine the sovereignty of the state and the sovereignty of the people. they have plundered a lot of the people's money. they have turned their hopes into despair. i warn all those who entertained the idea of attacking the state and its institutions. we will thought their plans for the coming days. aside from the economy. this new government has many challenges ahead. the president wants to amend the constitution walk to amend the political system and he's planning in bremond other year elections. so i think they, they will be limited by dime and also by power because the president announced that they will burn only and the exceptional messrs. for now, tunisia remains under the power of one man with
