ah bulges with so i the european union pledges a 1000000000 dollar aid package for afghanistan as world leaders me to address a looming humanitarian crisis. ah, hello, i'm fully back you boy, you're watching al jazeera live from doha, also ahead. one of the worst public health failures that critical reports by british m. bees into boys johnson's early handling, or because 19 pandemic nigeria has got maintained via the plant to stop violence by armed groups in the north, but some are resisting it. mm.

and has found abrasion of mexico's indigenous heritage, and a reminder of the injustice community says it's phil stoffers ah b e u has pledged $1000000000.00 for afghanistan as leaders of the world's largest economies. me to discuss the situation there. the european commission chief says the money will help avoid a major humanitarian and socio economic collapse. it will be given to international organizations working in afghanistan, not the taliban government, which brussels doesn't recognize. that g 20 meeting comes as delegations from the u . s. u. k. and european union gather here in kata with representatives of afghanistan's caretaker government. the afghan acting foreign minister says his administration is entering a new phase in his country's relationship with the rest of the world. attorney

bonnie's on a diplomatic push for international support and recognition. stephanie deca has more from couple the one leverage the internet community has, is this recognition recognizing the taliban as the official government here in afghanistan. so this is what they're using to put pressure on them to form an all inclusive government at the moment. the interim government is made up only of talbot members. there are a few minorities, but certainly there are no women. women also women's rights. a major issue talking about allowing particularly girls to the ages of 12 and 18 to return to school and university. that hasn't happened yet, the taliban says they are looking into it. they will do it. but it takes time to sort out the logistics in terms of segregating boys and girls from going to school . so this is a back and forth when it comes to the politics politically, but it's really causing a major impact on the ground. as you've been saying, this countries become fully dependent on international aid. on the international influx is of cache over the last 2 decades of war here,

and that's suddenly been withheld. so what you see is a, is a, you know, we'll talk about the economy in free for what does that mean? it means that people cannot feed their families, it means they don't have money, it means are no jobs. it means that you know, they're selling their household goods. it means that people who work on a daily basis, hand to mouth, can no longer feed themselves. that translates to 8 organizations giving severe warnings about what's happening here, particularly world food program saying only 5 percent. i'm just imagine that of households are actually eating enough and people have large family. so is incredibly difficult. salaries haven't been paid. security situation is difficult with an increase of ice. okay. and that's something that the international community in particular is very worried about. so i think at some point, something is going to have to give. but yes, i mean, this international recognition is the only leverage the international community has . and they're hoping that that's going to put pressure on the taliban to make some kinds of concessions to their demands. then figure out a way forward early i spoke to amar,

abdi who's the deputy executive director at unit set recently returned from afghanistan. he says the humanitarian crisis has deteriorated and will likely continue to do so. even before the recent i people, we estimated about 10000000 children were in need of humanitarian support. and at least 1000000 of those were crisco dying with severe mom. trish and i visited their hospital a couple of the money tricia was what we saw was very shocking. chill the hospital will still be on capacity and lot of children did break up dying for boundary conditions. we expect this tuition to even get worse with the winter coming with severe trouts with the collapse of the social service system. as you reported, situation will get worse unless we all of their lives quickly to

a test sort of the priorities to our back to humanity and crisis while talk. so i'm going between the de facto government and the 2 national community. we have had similar situations in yemen and other places where support to protect you went to the population. so the you and can set up systems or where support can reach people directly. now the weldon is the you case, governments delay in imposing a lock down at the start of the pandemic is one of the countries worse at the public health failures. as the conclusion of a newly released parliamentary report. inquiry by m. p also found releasing people from hospital into care homes, cost thousands of lies. they also criticize a test and trace process and weak border controls. but they praise the case vaccine program shown a whole has the latest from london. it found this report that the delay in boris

johnson's ordering of the 1st lockdown in march last year, the k for 2 months after discussions initially started to be held between ministers in scientific advises. there was a delay that cost a lot of lives. it was also a delay that was based on a deliberate policy in the tubing heard immunity, and it was a policy put forward by those scientific advisors because lives, as i say, it was only abandoned once it was deemed impossible to achieve. heard immunity report further accuses scientists to ministers of a so called group think that was part of that policy of heard immunity, a group think that led to a lack of transparency and decision making. a lack of meaningful challenge of decisions that were being made and the inability, or lack of knowledge sharing with international experts. also dealing with this crisis and dealing with it pretty much the same time. it said that despite being one of the 1st countries to come up with a meaningful 19 test,

the u. k. squandered that lead and turned it in fact into a situation of permanent crisis when the government gave up mass testing in march 2020. and when an effective test trace, an isolate system so called effective eventually came along in the summer. the report concludes it was slow, uncertain, often chaotic and ultimately failed in its objective. and they were further criticisms level that the government's failure to protect vulnerable groups, including care, home residents, and black, asian and minority ethnic groups as well. he will say the taxes has banned organizations and companies from enforcing coven 19 vaccine mandate. governor gray gambit has been one of the most vocal opponents of making vaccines mandatory in the us. his move comes as a bind in administration, prepares to require employees with more than a 100 workers to be vaccinated or test weekly for the virus thailand. plans to accept vaccinated toys flying from countries, it says

welcome back. a recap of our top stories on al jazeera, v e. u has pledged $1000000000.00 in aid for afghanistan. leaders of the world. 20 biggest economies are holding an emergency meeting to address the growing economic antibody daring prices. the money will be given to international organizations, but not to the taliban governments. a newly released parliamentary report has called the u. k. government's response at the start of the call, the 19 pandemic, the countries worse ever public health failures. however, the report praises you case last seen program avenues now in the u. n to top court has rejected kenya's games in a maritime border disputing the indian ocean somalia filed the lawsuit with the international court of justice in the hague, after kenya, awarded exploration rights in water. somalia says within its boundary, the disputed 100 square kilometer area has large deposits of oil and gas,

kenya has already said it will not recognize the court's ruling. there, spring in markham webb was life or is in my robi. so malcolm, the i, c, j rejecting can years argument talk us through the decision 1st the, i see david jack did most of kenya's argument, so the new maritime borders of the court specified gives most of the defeated territory to somalia. the little sliver of it kidney about as you just mentioned, central to all of this is that under the c, widely expected that there are rich deposits of oil and gas. and there are people in both governments who hope to be able to expect to profit from this, along with international oil companies and other partners who have blind themselves up with each of the sides. and this ruling indeed does favour somali as case kenya had been arguing for a boundary based on some colonial era boundaries,

which gave it much more of this defeated area of the sea. somalia is arguments were based more on equity, but now we'll be waiting to see what kenya says in response to this ruling. a high the, as you said previously rejected the ruling ahead of the ruling. so you're saying, yeah, i'm going to ask you what a fake here with this, what was a significant felt this dispute territory? what to say is, is the potential for making money from oil and gas for the beneath the sea, kenya had rejected the ruling of the call even before it was made. it said that the court was biased and the court has already said that kennedy doesn't have any legal grounds to reject this judgement because it's signed up to the court to authority in the 1906. he's been a cons retroactively renee or not, but the question is now will, can you accept this ruling and if it does not,

it certainly put somalia in a much stronger position to think support from the un to the diplomatic in support enforcing or obliging kenya to hold this ruling, waiting to see what can you going to say about that and the how somalia would further interest as well. mark and thank you very much for that month. web 314 there live from night will be kenya. any right preliminary results from the parliamentary elections show a positive outcome for the party of shia cleric, montana. oh is find that good showing? none of the political blocks appear to have secured majority, former prime minister, nearly a monarchy looks set to have the 2nd largest hold among shia potties. sunday school was house several months early and voter turnout hit a record low of just about 40 percent. and he hashem is in baghdad with more on the results. it's clear this is not going to change

a hailing and new treatment for head and neck cancer. a trial testing a combination of immunotherapy drugs showed it may work better than chemotherapy. find is in london, found mixing to medications significantly reduced or killed tumors in terminally ill people. survival rates are the highest reported in a 1st time. first line therapy child for people with head and neck. cancer patients who took part lived an average of 3 months longer than those receiving chemotherapy, and the new treatment reportedly cause fewer side effects. kevin harrington is a professor of biological cancer therapies at the institute for cancer research. he explains the aim of immunotherapy. so in contrast to normal treatment with chemotherapy, immunotherapy tries to wake up the patients own immune system to attack the disease . so rather than trying to poison cancer cells into submission, we actually enlist the help of the patients own immune system to do the heavy lifting and to attack the cancer. i think it's important to set this into context

so regrettably, for patients who have head and neck cancer, whose disease comes back off to the original treatment, which is usually either surgery or radiation and chemotherapy, or a combination of all 3 of those treatments. when the disease comes back, the average life expectancy up until now has been about 10 months. that's a miserable figure for these poor patients. what we've been able to show in this study is that in contrast to chemotherapy, the average survival, the average survival has gone up by 3 months. but for a significant number of patients, it's greater than this. and so in the best responding group, the average survival is as high as 18 months now, which is a very real improvement. and for some patients, for the 1st time, we're beginning to see we can potentially cure their disease. so they remain in durable man remission for many years after treatment. so there's still a great deal more to do,

but we are potentially beginning to get to the point where we can cure these cancer . in some patients or wine fire in southern california, i shut down a major highway, leaking it with the north of the seas. more than a 125 fire fighters have been battling the blaze in santa barbara. the flames are being fueled by winds up to a 112 kilometers and ah, logan. i'm fully battle with the headlines on al jazeera, the e u has fledged $1000000000.00 in aid for afghanistan. leaders of the world. 20 biggest economies are holding an emergency meeting to address the growing economic and humanitarian crisis. the money will be given to international organizations but not to the taliban speak.
