8:05 pm
a unity government until these elections and december 1000000 trainer has the latest. now from that conference for us in tripoli, as far as the elections, there's a couple of road blocks that you live in. government has to be able to go through in order for elections to happen. one is too, oh, there still hasn't been a constitutional framework agreed upon between the legislative branches in libya for the elections to even be help. our number 2 is a foreign fighters over 20000 foreign fighters, and we're of the control, vast areas of land, especially in the south central port of libya and, and having them in the country or what raises concerns if the elections can happen . and that's one of the topics i was discussed here today, or the government is hoping that they can build international support and put pressure on the, on the countries that have foreign fighters here. so they can leave and the country
8:06 pm
can move towards stability. now pakistan's foreign minister is the latest high ranking diplomat to meet the taliban leadership in afghanistan's capital shall not work correctly is visit focused on increasing cooperation and follows weeks of tension about cross border travel and trade routes. pakistan's intelligence chief was one of the 1st foreign visitors after the taliban takeover back in august. meanwhile, the u. n says it set up a special trust to supply afghanistan with urgently needed cash. the head of the agencies development program said it will be tapping into funds that were frozen after the taliban took over. the country has been on the brink of a humanitarian and economic collapse due to a lack of cash. stephanie deka is in cobble with more on that u. n fund. i think 1st and foremost, we have to look at what kind of mechanism is going to be a put in place for the cash to reach those who need it most. and we, we've, i think the international community agrees on one thing is i desperately needed
8:07 pm
cash needs to come here quickly. so you've now heard from the u. n. d p, setting up a fund we've heard from the european union, even the g 20 agreed. and on a form of getting cash injected into the economy here, this is a country that has become hugely dependent on these foreign reserves over the last 2 decades and having withheld it all of a sudden is having a catastrophic effect. so yes, it's much needed, but i think 1st and foremost, we have to see how quickly and how it's going to get here on the ground. and how is going to be distributed to the people. i can tell you having been here for the last couple of weeks everyone, we have spoken to whether they are, you know, health workers, whether it's someone working in a drug habilitation center, whether they're journalists, whether they're civil servants, even security guards, even taliban fighters will tell you that they haven't been paid their salaries and it ranges from what we're being told 2 to 3 months to 6 months. so there is a massive issue of cash flow, and i think this is something that we call it sort of underline enough. so these pleasures are great, but it really comes down to how quickly and how efficiently it can get to those who
8:08 pm
need it most. and it also ties into security. something we've been looking at recently, particularly the increase in attacks by iso k i saw in afghanistan, and that's really having an impact on the minority she, our population here are 2 of their most attacked over the last 2 fridays, one and conduce one. in kandahar we went to visit a neighbourhood west of cobble, where the has our community there told us that even inside their mosques, a holy place, they don't feel safe these days will so lulu mean, even in prayer for them. there is anees here. oh, holy place seems to offer new sanctuary for afghanistan. she a community. no, i'm not sure. toner regime. when the taliban came, we felt safe. but after detoxing control system in kandahar we feel very much a chris on on the taliban cannot insure security for us as the promises. despite that, we continue to come to pray, even in fi ball,
8:09 pm
even if we have to die here. call it when he had and his and his last we have witnessed a taxpayer dice who cited to slay dice if you know fit for you. and we're gonna not only hear it due to being able to re go because we are written is because we already can northville or fis garza and has our us out. it was the sheer last friday iceland. afghanistan said it was behind this attack on a sheer mosque in kandahar. the province is the taliban stronghold. it was the 2nd attack on a sheer mosque in a week. the 1st in the northern province of conduce it's causing increased worry here in the capital among the she a community. they say no one feel safe. this is the majority here area of cobble in the area has suffered numerous attacks over the last couple of years. moths have been attacked, girl schools have been attacked. many buses have been attacked, weddings have been attacked, and even gunman entering the maternity ward, killing pregnant women in their bags. there is a constant,
8:10 pm
unpredictable fear hill of when the next attack may come. most of these attacks were claimed by iso in afghanistan. the armed group attacked this moss to the largest in dashed hibachi. taliban officials of said they will do more to protect the shia community. but we didn't see any taliban presence in this area while we visited. was a lemon mockup along. we used to have 5 gars, they had salaries and weapons. now the taliban said they should return to work, but they haven't returned. there's no money. the risk is high, especially during fridays prayer. we found the taliban patrols on friday. but the risk one remains high, the shia and particularly the his, our community has long been persecuted here in afghanistan. mohammed is a student at cobble university, which remains closed. do you want to tell one to do more to protect? because of course, it is the visually cross with not only has already share heard the target of to just the talks. but all the people overgrown us on was firm called the one to do more. not only is in case of security,
8:11 pm
run in case of economic thinkers or for trust between the thought. one of the people, ha, ha, ha ha. these are uncertain times for afghanistan, she a community. and for so many other afghans all tell us, they hope taliban leaders can deliver on their promise to protect minorities and provide security for everyone across the country. stephanie decker, all jazeera, cobble. now 1000000000 doses of coven 19 vaccines have been administered in india. the government once the entire population immunized by the end of this year. and it's also started exporting vaccines again as production has been wrapped up. but still in parts of europe, the reluctance to get inoculated as prompting savage and infections has been at smith's reports. by finding its health workers across some of the remotest parts of the country, india has now given at least one dose of cobit 19 vaccine to 3 quarters of it's $1.00. 8000000000 population. prime minister neurons remotely visited
8:12 pm
a new delhi hospital to celebrate the 1000000000 dose, but only 31 percent of had 2 doses. there is a certain degree of apathy, as well as the feeling, but the worst as fast as there is no further risk. so many people are not really going in for the 2nd dose, straight away. any are sitting on vaccines, talk of a 100000000 doses and has recently started exporting again. it's africa whether needed less than 5 percent of the continents population has been vaccinated. the world health organization says that could mean the pandemic goes on for a year longer than it needs to developing countries should not have to wait for the charity rich nations. because that charity, as we've seen in the last year in a hall, is not happening. we cannot rely on their largest, we have to have manufacturing. and to do that, we have to share the recipe that were publicly funded in the 1st place in some eastern european countries. the challenge is persuading enough people to get jumped
8:13 pm
