now being challenged. and despite the taliban saying it had the idle threat under control just a few days ago, the interior ministry giving a press conference asking taliban fighters to be cautious among their ranks, hinting at concerns of infiltration, the harder dollar delivery barriers so that if someone is found in any of army units linked to i. so let it be known that the unit commander will be interrogated and the unit will be dissolved assaults. it's 2 months since the taliban took control of the country, having to adapt from insurgency to governance. and despite a diplomatic push abroad, millions of dollars of much needed international donor money are still being withheld. as the international community demands a more inclusive government and the protection of women's rights and those of minorities aid agencies, a warning of a humanitarian catastrophe. as the country is running severely low on cash, salaries haven't been paid in months. millions of people don't have enough to eat, and winter is coming. all this compounded by an unpredictable security situation

compensation is going to be paid. this is not unprecedented. back in 2019 more than 70 such cases were conducted. payments were made ranging from $135.00 to $35000.00. but why this is complicated is that normally these discussions are held by regional commanders on the grounds. they all know us troops in afghanistan anymore. so this is not being dealt with at a distance by the under secretary of state for defense would be policy department. so he's talking to the c o n g o that employs the killed man. he will be talking to lawyers as well as it goes down the line. but further complicating this is that to the secretary of defense, lloyd austin, has guaranteed that the men surviving family will be repaired created to the united states or brought into the united states as is their wish. now this is a method that is dealt with by the state department, so you've got another government organization that is going to need to get involved

protests that we've been having here in hong kong for the past couple of years. it's being seen by many pro democracy groups as a further tightening of the screw by the authorities using the legal system, the court at basically to try to climb down. generally on the central though, the authorities would obviously deny that was the case. these are 7 defendants in total, they were found guilty of the charge of inciting others to take part in the legal assembly that the states back to july. the 1st protest of last year, which is normally a day of protest when people judicially would take to the streets here with the anniversary of hong kong handover to china. but it came at the height of the cobra, 1900 pandemic. and there were restrictions in force to stop people gathering in large numbers. so these people were found guilty of contra beating, that 5 of the defendants actually arrived here at this court in one shot in prison bands. because either they had been denied bail old. busy already serving lengthy prison terms for other charges, linked to these protests to the defendants arrived in the front of the court. they

have been out on bail. they were greeted by the supporters who chance to messages of support as they went in. one of them is a well known activist here, jenkins saying he is nicknamed at the ball. we spoke to him before he went in. in fact, he is now starting his present term and he said he was not very optimistic about his court case. i did the don't very optimistic generally about hong kong, seeing what he sees that the rolling back of the right to free speech, especially in the last couple of years, was interesting that you mention supporters. that chords one impact this trial, others like it had on that push for democracy and free speech in hong kong. there has been a real see change, especially in the past year since the introduction of this controversial national security law which came into effect loss july because it covered just so many things that the crime of succession,

a subversion of colluding with our identity isn't just the way in which this can be so broadly interpreted by the courts and it has really changed the political dynamic, the mood here in the city about what you can say and can't say now the pro about the probate ging groups here. kerry lamb, the chief executive, they will argue that it is thanks to this law that normal c has returned. that sanity now prevails in hong kong and it's true that we longer see the big protests that turn violence, the fire bombs, the crashing of subway stations. and shopping mouth, but there are many people here who will tell you this is come at an awful cost for hong kong, the rolling back of freedoms that they had enjoyed. and that you have basically ended up now with a pretty much a masculine city. many things that rob mcbride that 1st live in hong kong, at least 3 people, a dad onto magnitude 4.8 earthquake hit the indonesian island of bali. great target
