ancestral lands and tens of thousands of bolivians rally and support the president a day after anti government protests. and in sports, denmark book that place that next year's awhile up in casa plus in the m b, a brooklyn nets ban, kyrie irving from playing. i'm practicing with the team until he gets vaccinated against k with 19 ah, european union has pledged $1000000000.00 to afghanistan as leaders of g 20 countries met to discuss the deepening crisis, their delegations from the u. k. and e. you also met to representatives of the taliban in cutter. the money will be given to international aid groups, not the taliban government. to help prevent a major humanitarian and socio economic collapse. at least 95 percent of households in afghanistan currently don't have food to eat according to the world food program

and at least 2000000 children, a malnourished because of acute food shortages. meanwhile, 90 percent of afghanistan's health facilities are closed because of the lack of international aid. the u. n says $600000000.00 is needed to sustain basic humanitarian operations for the next few months. before the taliban takeover in august, international aid accounted for 75 percent and state spending. stephanie decker reports from couple thousands of kilometers away from afghanistan, the political negotiations go on. following their talk to the americans, the taliban delegation met european representatives in katara capital, doha, afghanistan on the agenda to at this virtual g. 20 meeting led by italy prime minister mario draggy, warned of a humanitarian disaster o vivier bruce humanitarian emergency that is unfolding is very serious illness. many people in representatives of international organizations and the united

nations. i've talked of humanitarian catastrophe, alco gomez, and they have notes of that with the onset of winter, with the situation will get worse in cobble. hardly any one has any money as wealth . okay, wonderful. um, you have on the 60 arrival of these la mc emirates, i believe that all our colleagues have been unemployed. meanwhile, our salaries have not been paid by the government. therefore, my request to the government of these law mich emerett of afghanistan, he stood by yes, our seller is 1st, because the people leaving poverty, unpaid salaries, no jobs, a country that has a severe cash flow problem, huge dependent on billions of dollars of international aid that is now being withheld and there's a growing security problem too. with iceland, afghanistan increasing its attacks. we met the man in charge of cobble security. he says the taliban is more than capable of handling the iso threat bears good from a hot that it by one. if i saw a threat to have gone to sean, it will also be a threat to the neighboring countries. talbot have promised the world that it will

not let the terrorist groups use of gunnison as a base for launching attacks. as i can see in the past when he days taliban damaged iso capabilities with our security operations against him. but iceland, afghan astonish, managed to carry out deadly attacks, including here and cobble venting arm groups like it from gaining ground here and using it to attack other countries was one of the top points of last year's doha agreement between the u. s. and the taliban. despite engaging and dialogue with the taliban, the international community has made it very clear that this does not mean an official recognition of the taliban. as afghanistan's government, that's dependent on things like an all inclusive government and protecting the rights of women. and as that back and forth continues, billions of much needed dollars have been withheld abroad. not having a devastating impact on the people here. daphne decker al jazeera cobble chosen grubby, is the u. n. well freed programs spoke 1st person in new york as to how much difference

will is that $1000000000.00 or mirrors being touched by that you make to situation in afghanistan? thank you so much, lauren, for having me. it will definitely have a huge difference. as the report was saying, i mean the situation not honest, then the country was already at the brink of crisis. before the taliban take over, you've got over 19 years of conflict, 2 droughts in the past 3 years, and it has pushed millions and millions of people right to the edge. one in 3 of honeys today are severely food insecure, and we've got 1000000 children who are at the edge of starvation. so we need to step up, we need to, we have a moral obligation to help the people of afghanistan as soon as possible. and we need to do that now before winter sucks. and because once the snow sets in, it's going to be too late to reach families, families will be cut off any axis to us and whatever we can provide them before the

winter sets in could be their only life life. and this idea of, of bypassing the chat about and perhaps using trust funds to, to pay agencies. is that something that you think will work and how quickly can that happen? i mean, there are conversations on various aspects of the issues we in the world. food program have been providing assistance consistently since the takeover. as a matter of fact, in the past month, we managed to triple our reach in september to reach almost 4000000 people. and you know, we're preparing to swiftly add to scale up as soon as possible because the needs are rapidly rising. so the conversations are happening, but we need to also center that around the people understand who are ultimately paying the price of this economic crisis. and the accumulation of the

drought, the coven, 19 and other crisis. and we've been sounding the alarm bell for quite some time. so it's really important that we have the funds that we need in order to support those communities. and there's no idea of who's going to worst hit. i mean, my, suppose me be, we'll assume that as people have lost their homes. but for is presumably also, people can't get money out of bank accounts and they won't be able to feed their children either. what, where, wow, who, what sort of people are you helping? well, we're helping get, you know, we're, we're hoping to reach 14000000 people by the end of this year. and these are, you know, her family's children were already seeing the devastating impact of these crises on families. and what's alarming is that we're usually we focused on a rural communities, but now we're seeing a lot of urban residents being plunged into poverty. jobs are evaporating. there is simply no cash for them to buy enough food to feed the family. so parents are for going meals and so that their children could eat. and if,

if we don't get the funds that we need, then we might have to take some difficult decisions such as cutting rations and the situations already severe. we cannot allow it to become more catastrophic than what it is today. what are the practicalities of actually getting the aide in? how difficult is it? oh, so, so far, as i said, we've been delivering assistance as of august. i mean, we've seen the hard breaking images at campbell airports in mid august, but since then we have managed to provide assistance to those with the so the access has not been much of a big issue. most of it is through cross borders and through age through through like it from neighboring countries. by yeah, it's been ongoing and we managed triple the number of people that we reached in the past month. so again,

i cannot stress enough on the need for funds and the timing because these are the 2 things that are against us. the funds, the very their availability. and we've recently received a 100000000 from some donors were very thankful for that. but we need all the money because that's only sustaining at the assistance till the end of the year. we need an additional $300000000.00 for the 1st quarter. 2022. and we've seen the consequences of not acting faster urgently. and other crises around the world and the consequences look when we cut also russians. ok, so we don't want that to happen. shows him a grammy. thank you very much for talking to. thank you. thank you. now a prominent afghan. civil activists has been shot dead by an unknown gunman, abdur rahman merwin was killed in the city of jalal about in none god province. his attacker is believed to have find at him from

a ritual before fleeing the area. targeted killings have been on the rise and east of the country. smoking concerns while he was walking toward the attack, opened far around him from the ritual and killed it happens in an area with telegraph, police only a 100 meters away. confused now because the previous regime was no television, but feeling those people who don't know who is killing them. now how can you says it will not recognize an international court of justice ruling largely in favor of somalia in a low running dispute over the maritime border at stake. his control of a 100000 square kilometer stretch of the indian ocean with prospects. a vast oil and gas deposits, kenya says it's maritime borders, should be drawn in a straight line east parallel to the line of latitude. but somalia says it should be expanded further south as an extension of its land border. the new boundary drawn by the court was closest to this line, malcolm webb has more nairobi. the court has ruled largely in favor of from

earlier in the area of ocean in question. according to the court ruling mostly goes to somalia, but a leader of it does go to kenya scenarios. see this widely believed to be rich in oil and gas deposits and kenya had actually given concessions to international oil companies to start exploring this area. that's what triggered this maritime, bought a dispute in the 1st place, kenya had already rejected the jurisdiction of the court before the ruling. it said it wasn't going to accept it. that the court said that kenya con, retroactively put out to the court jurisdiction which you have signed up to in the 1960. they can use legal obligation to hold the ruling still stands. question is, what are each of these countries going to do next? the malia has now a strong position with this court really ruling to seek diplomatic support from the united nations. from the security council can use position is weaker,

but it's certainly depend what 2 countries choose to do. more allies choose to do, and certainly important to remember that there are international oil companies and foreign governments behind the countries respected interest in extracting the wealth from the natural resources beneath the sea. chinese government is declared a state of emergency following large protests. it covers the era kani, a region where armed members from chinese indigenous my poetry group have taken control of forests from logging companies have been purchased in recent weeks in the capital, santiago, mccook tripler, demanding self determination and the preservation of ancestral lands, largely owned by logging firms and latin america editor lucio newman, has moved from santiago. they're doing it because of what the president calls a grave altercation of public order in the albany, a region. this means ongoing violence, deaths of destruction,

of farming equipment burning down of houses earlier today. there was another church was burned down there been continuous attacks by militant map indigenous, my poacher groups who say they are fighting for the restoration of their ancestral land. a lot of this land has been occupied by my poaching communities. and so there have been more than just skirmishes. it's been really mounting and mounting and many would say that the chilean state has actually lost control of much of that region. the president has been on tremendous pressure to declare other state of emergency, or even a state of scenes, which would be the next step up that would allow him to spend all of the juvenile guarantees you started by the state of emergency. what it means is that the army could now go in and a company lead, militarized police were already there. and when you see them, you really can't see much of a difference between a militarized policeman and a soldier. but apparently there is quite a difference, especially in their training. the army will be able to provide logistical support

to telecommunications and patrol alongside the police would not be able to do it on their own. so that means we're going to have the army and the really tries police hatch side by side going into that region to try to bring it back under control. as the government would say, tens of thousands of pro government demonstrators have been rallying across major cities in bolivia. so far they rallied in that as coach of amber and santa cruz. if all those days of anti government protest across bolivia against a proposed law, this is a step towards a police state and legislation being considered but allow the authorities to investigate the assets of any citizen without a court order. the government says it's essential to tackle elicit earnings and help the economy daniel showing and joins us live from when is our is what's the believe in government having to achieve with these nationwide? ronnie's what lousy lauren has

a show of strength after the rally is on monday by the anti government protesters. the government, which has been in office the less than a year, has called on its support, is right across bolivian society to really show their numbers to bolster their authority as officers herself, the less than a year in office. and to show they mean business about trying to get this law through the bolivian parliament, it's already passed through the lower house. the government is suspended, sending it to the upper house while it seeks further consultations. and he's asking the anti government protest why they're out on the streets, if they're willing to negotiate with them, to really is a case over showing their numbers to try to stifle these anti government protests. the anti government protesters have said that if the government doesn't suspend this law within the next 3 days, they're going to be out on the streets again within 3 days with a 48 hour stoppage. so really it's all about now. the show is showing of numbers

just to show you know, who, who is the strongest in this in this battle, which does seem as though they didn't in their heels. and it's about to start, as you mentioned, show of numbers. how big had they been and, and what impact to the anti government purchase on monday have what the ones are monday, the police said the rustling like a 150 block, a road blockades across the country. a 10 arrest clashes with police as they try to clear the roads or to allow people to get to work. of course it often depends which side you speak to the anti government protesters that it was a huge success. the government said it was an abject failure. both sides have said they're not going to give up in this or on this fight. so really is missing the divisions, the traditional divisions, bolivian society between indigenous people and non indigenous between east and the west of the country, between rich and poor. they are showing that they are showing themselves again, is a very polarized society,

perhaps even more polarized now with this dispute. and as i say, does seem as though it's the beginning or the rig re igniting, of a lot of long running disputes with this proposed new law, right at the heart of their annual shining. i thank you very much indeed. coming up on the user from london flooding in china's chelsea province destroys infrastructure and drives thousands of people from their homes. a scathing report says britain's failure to lockdown early in the pandemic was one of the country's breast public health blunders costing thousands of lives. and christiana, rinaldo grabs trip to help portugal score a big victory in well qualified ah tropical storm compared to has triggered floods and landslides, in the northern philippines, killing at least 11 people. 1600 people have been evacuated from homes and towns in

and 820000 people evacuated. considered the birthplace of chinese civilization. shang, see as rich in culturally important sites and relics with many now said to be at risk. shank. c is also an important cold producing province, and there have been fears these storms could worse than china's shortage of coal, which has resulted in power outages across the country. around 10 percent of mines in shang c, suspended operations for a time, although most were pushed to reopen to help cold supplies. but this seems to be another example of the increasing frequency and ferocity of extreme weather events to hit china. these floods come less than 3 months after reins and flooding in neighboring hern and province killed more than $300.00 people. again, rainfall records were broken across the province with the provincial capital,

is also sounding the alarm about rising prices worldwide, urging central banks to be ready to act quickly against inflation. the global recovery continues by the moment, as we can hobbled by the pandemic. a field by the highly permissible delta variant . the outlet for low income developing countries has taken a turn for the worse you to worsening pandemic dynamics. so why we've seen a rebounding demand. i supply hasn't been able to rebound as fast, and that combination has led to in high levels of inflation. we've seen that in commodity prices for your to think that in supply chain breakdowns on site that struggling is energy with power supply gaps in asia and europe. driving up prices, oil prices arising with brent crude reaching $84.00 a barrel on tuesday, a 3 year high and gas prices in europe are now 4 times higher than at the start of the year. that's true, and some utility companies to return to power from coal burning plants. and despite

european coal futures doubling during the same period, china's response is to pass on high cost to the consumer by allowing coal fired power plants to pass on the added expense through the power grid. despite being the world's 2nd largest co producer, india is now asking power producers to import up to 10 percent of their coal needs to avoid raising prices. item hirsch's earth, visiting contrast at the economic policy institute, he joins me from old orchard beach in maine. thanks. so much for being with us. what would you say the main factors are behind this global power crunch? you know, every electric utility has its idiot. secrecy is based on the political compromises when they were set up. but what underlying this problems everywhere in the world are spikes and global commodity energy prices. this is very common when the economy goes into downturn. and this what happened last year as we saw an economic activity

. thank. we saw a producer start slow down their production and start to mothball some of their least efficient facilities. then as the economy resumed, activity demand started picking up. because these are heavy industries, it takes time to start them up. takes investments that the producers are willing to do until they're certain that demand can be sustained. so while you have the demand for energy increasing, you don't have the supply catching up in time to moderate the markets. energy and electricity producers are caught in the middle of us. now european european economies and chinese economy are particularly vulnerable to these kind of shocks because they are so dependent on imported energy. european economy is, don't really have the opportunity to switch between different fuel sources as readily as some economy isn't the chinese economy. so dependent on coal,

even though it's trying to live up to its commitments, to die best from call and to put on a strong face ahead of the glasgow. un climate change from it, that there's just not enough coal to fuel china's factor is then to build the steel for it's, it is and it's infrastructure and you expect, i mean, i mean, i mean some places in india or some states are getting power. got some plans to having to shut down. do you think that rationing that interest you will become a wide spread and what economic effect will that have to think? well, the energy prices are going to be on spill over to all aspects of the economy. but i do think that the i m f, a report that you mentioned indicates that these are really temporary, transitory effects of the pandemic shock. eventually we're going to see supply catch up to demand, and that is price spikes that we're seeing are going to dissipate. but that said,

i think the disruptions both to, you know, families that are on low income, fixed income, facing the rising energy prices as well. and so to national economies as a whole that are being disrupted, reveals our vulnerability to these kinds of shocks. and i really underscores the importance of the whole world coming together this month at the u. n. cop 26 and finding ways for forward on climate action i think and you think it will push forward it green green, a power? oh do you think? i mean, because as you say in the mean time people to be reaching back to, to co. yeah. that to fill the gap. i, you know, there's really no, no other choice in the short term. that's what the infrastructure that we have that can supply that. but i think it's going to make people, you know, double down and think harder about how we're going to transition his energy systems for the future, about inflation, them into the m f warning about to rising prices. well,

why do you think that the central bank so actually kind of ready to, to act quickly enough and i do think that will that they'll manage that, that risk i think they're ready to, but it may be a mistake that they do it at this point we still see tremendous economic slack across the world, even in the economies that have recovered most rapidly from last year's downturn. and by slack, i mean that there are workers and capital equipment that are not being used to their fullest extent. even in the united states where the economy has rebounded most robustly, we're still 6 to 9000000 jobs. shy of the trajectory we were on before the pandemic hit. we saw the unemployment for black workers is nearly double that for white workers. and this is true around the world, we're in the, one of the best for covering economies, but where vaccines haven't made it yet, and where people are likely to be waiting for vaccines for some time. economic recovery is going to come much more slowly and there's going to be

a lot of capacity to expand output without having inflationary pressures at a much. thank you very much indeed. you and i was just thinking again a nearly 9 months after moving out of washington, dc. donald trump is reportedly close to selling up in the city. and miami based investment firm is in talks to acquire the lease, to his trump international hotel. just a few blocks east of the white house, the wall street journal reports the deal will be worth more than $370000000.00 comes days are to report, found heat, grossly exaggerated. the money it made a house committee obtained documents to reveal the former president hid $70000000.00 of losses at the luxury hotel was more still to come this hour, including we speak to business owners. caught up in the e. u and u. k. is dispute over the northern ireland protocol. as 15 hostages, escape their kidnappers in nigeria. desperation grows and the impact of ami restrictions to stop such abductions and in world cup, qualifying algeria,

a 3 day for madrid. you should be 90 degrees. we got you in at $25.00 and full on sunshine, northwestern europe. a wind of the north, its driving temperature is down also right down to paris and we do have somewhat weather in the mix is wall up. but for london, it's going to be an overcast day. i think the next time you'll see the appearance of it sun back in on friday, but at least it's been dry. that's the positive fair. okay. as we look toward africa, we do have our storms fallen across western areas, but more coastal sections and a burst of rain. 4th, southwest of molly ah, the planet is approaching a tipping point. in the lead up to the cop 26 climate summit, al jazeera showcase is program dedicated to one veiling the realities of the climate emergency witness screen films documenting the human experience on the
