mm. welcome to portal. i'm sandra gammon back with more great content from the digital side of al jazeera as our website, social media and podcast. now this week, it's all about afghanistan. we've got a film about the struggles of some young african refugees in norway and the woman who helped them. we'll show you that a bit later. but let's begin with what's been happening in afghanistan since the taliban took over. november 23rd marks their 1st 100 days in power. so for this episode of start here, my team and i decided to take stock. we looked at how things have changed under the new government and the desperate situation now facing millions of afghans as winter sets in. ah, let's talk about afghanistan. and what's happened since the u. s. pulled out and

the taliban took over. there was the desperate scramble to leave me and there were fears about what might happen to those who couldn't. and there were so many questions about what like could be like under the taliban. we've seen protests bombings, economy as basically collapse. people are really struggling. this is the count don't took us trophy, the taliban have now been in power for a 100 days. that's a 100 days to figure out how to run a country of almost 40000000 people. so if you've not been following the story, here's what's going on with or let's start with how almost everybody in afghanistan, 95 percent, don't have enough food to eat. more than half the population are at risk of

starvation. that's 23000000 people and includes 3000000 children under the age of 5 in christian, i get it. i wish to get them a promotion was that the mother had no hold on. it's about the shop, not on the water would answer. when you combine that with freezing wind conditions, you've got catastrophe, poverty, hunger and tough winters are nothing new and got us down. but right now, 2 things are making the food crisis so much worse. first, there's a terrible drought over with the, you know, we're lucky to the what go below the, the sound. i know we have them all the little and 2nd, there's the state of the economy. the whole financial system collapse or assets are frozen age many was. so what happened was when the taliban took over the u. s. fro is more than $9000000000.00 of afghan assets. that's basically money and investment

held in the us. at the same time, foreign financial aid was also cut pretty much overnight. now you have to realize that under the old government, 75 percent of its budget was foreign aid. and that money is just not there anymore . the economy of, of, on the phone was completely artificial. it revolved around aid and true to see that, that on day one, the aid, the assets, the loan, everything gets caught. how are you going to serve on mobile, local issue j g mon, monday she oh, how did you saw the modem that is felicity? so the us and others don't want the taliban to get their hands on any of this money, but it's crippled. be economy. one of the big problems is a major shortage of cash in a country that runs on cash. the banks don't have enough and have set limits on

withdrawals, and everything's getting more expensive, especially important like fuel. because the currency, the f connie has dropped to an all time low against the dollar, from civil servants to construction workers. people just aren't getting paid. mister janice. well it, you know, told wendy one can know bundy shut that up on the top of the verse order level over the summer. like we should have got the put him in the to you for a country that had a budget of 11000000 and 2019. and now having literally nothing, it's a humanitarian crisis. and we can't be numb to the situation. no matter who empower not a single country has officially recognized the taliban government. but the afghan people are also hurting from this isolation. the un another international agencies are still working and if god has done to deliver food and supplies, that's the main way help us getting to the afghan people right now. but if ghana

stan needs so much more than just emergency aid, it needs to be able to trade like any other country, whether anyone likes it or not, the telephone or the reality of the country right now. and if you say that you care about the people that are honest on, then you need to deal with the people who are the leaders now. so who are the leaders? while they've named an interim government made up entirely of senior taliban members home in house, and i could and he's reacting prime minister and is on the un sanctions list. the dean connie, who's designated a terrorist by the u. s. is the interior minister. and mohammed, your group, the son of the taliban founder, is the defense minister, is also the taliban supreme leader, him to la quinta, who has ultimate authority over the group. but he's rarely seen in public. the who's really in charge and what their plans are. it's just not very clear. we don't know who is playing the song. you know, nobody knows who plays. you're unable to communicate. what exactly they are doing,

what exactly are there so far and would be them. what is a policy up the how they are artists in the taliban do not have experience or funding or personnel to deliver sophisticated government services. and there's also confusion about what the new social codes are, which so many people were worried about when the taliban came to power. the leadership of said that people's rights will be protected in accordance with islamic law. at least their version of it. that is our vision for, for a future of where we are an open society, a diverse society where people have freedom of movement, freedom of expression, and all the other rights that islam has given to every single individual. the problem is they haven't really specified what they mean by that. all we know is what's happening on the ground. and what's happening on the ground is a mixed picture. what they're saying at the top isn't reaching the bottom. they

said dress how you want, do what you want, go about your life. we're not going to get in your way. but there have been several instances where they do actually come out, you and sometimes they're violent with it. and sometimes it's just, it's just a verbal confrontation court for certain areas. now they are cautious off, out of prison themselves and probably in and certain they have suffered there. but that does not indicate any departure from the core on the mental principles of their ideology. and had art taliban officials killed for alleged kidnappers, and hung their bodies up in public. an uncommon or 2 journalists were beaten when covering protests led by women. and what about the situation for women? while they're definitely been changes, the women's affairs ministry is now the ministry for propagation of virtue and prevention of vice. female aid workers have been restricted from doing their jobs and more than 30 provinces. women are mostly back at university,

but they have to study separately from men. women can continue their university, but axis has been widely restricted. confusion knows who the restricted by the column on family members or the individual afraid to be active until friday because of from my own organization. her i have samples of all 3 and there are even fewer answers for teenage girls. in most provinces. they haven't been allowed to return to school. the taliban say that's temporary. but there's got 2 of them from amazon and when willy and could have been shallow model help. the 1st time talking about kids, the schools are going to close are girls? the experiences weren't exactly the same excuse as now rate 6. and the women of dennis from waited 6 years and never got so you think,

but it's not trust. ok. so what about security? because that's something the taliban said they can handle. that was the one thing that they kept typing themselves up about. you know, they're like when we come, peace will be here. p violence will and bombings will stop. but they haven't quite been able to deliver on that. because an affiliate if i saw a group known as i s k, p has stepped up attacks since the taliban took over. there was a suicide bombing at cobbled international airport that killed more than a 180 people. another attack at a military hospital killed 25 and i s k p have claimed responsibility for at least 2 attacks. and she, a masks were since were killed. i now remember it wasn't very long ago that the taliban were the ones carrying out attacks. so one of the big challenges for the new government is how to navigate this kind of role reversal. on the one hand, you have to deal with this arm group that's doing all the kinds of things used to do. and then on the other,

you have to figure out how to at the very least try and operate better than the former corrupt government that you are fighting all along. and they haven't been able to really succeed in either metric. the taliban though, say it's still early days. rome was not built in the day. what we are asking is the for time thing is right now afghans don't have time. their lives are at stake. and after a 100 days with the taliban in charge, there are still so many questions about afghanistan. future questions that the taliban need to answer, but plenty of others that the u. s. and the international community need to answer to after the taliban took over, one group of women had a very particular reason to be scared. women who'd worked as judges many got threats from the men they'd sent to prison. but we're now free our news podcast.

the take spoke to some of those women. here's a short clip. ah, during the time i talked to him and i asked him, when did you do this to your own wife? was to tortured her and then killed her. at the end of that time, he looked at me and said, hey, when i get out of prison, i will do with you what i did my own way. he told me, i've got an order from you should let your phone number and id gone from the court . and he told me, i can find you way. i can find your family. he scored entricken me many times. he continued to run through b. i was didn't get my relatives, she's my location and ended up renting out another house and i went to a place. no one can find me. but of course i don't feel safe now. it's not just that murder was trying to find it all that i live on. there the enemy of all the women who worked in the previous government, especially of human judges. because if i live on, don't accept of woman as

a judge. you can subscribe to the take on spotify, apple or wherever you got your podcast, and i really recommend you listen to that full episode. okay, up next is the film we talked about earlier out of norway. it's about several afghan teenagers who fled their country. well, before the recent political turmoil and ended up in norway alone, one norwegian woman though, stepped into help and give them a sense of family. ah, ah, this is she? i mean, every hint. then 15 divided to 2, suddenly the, the distemper dispute about it more for it in she made it already. and brian smith, the premier discussion h e, big does or, and their negatives kitty b. e of the snap. a

with the a portrait believe. yeah. or a hint, the dino dba few them, no it the horse in a mom or among of the hard mom mighty of colonies. terms from the ability glory, her men detour, liquid thought and ma my nod goes ah, it continues to attempt to 6. and the double body l. washington, nobody can be able to make it easier. so see our little cloth is something that the blue routed out school, all divided profs dylan extended without it to teach today that nearby sake. so

domino corporate based on the hub being in for me landed they live in nevada, the we helped you in on the ali, andy or presented as award among isn't police didn't deny it. yeah. so the ball not to get them without that. they come to come think mother punishable as many mom, nickel many let big eat out and i received a call when you some of them are more research on it. we get. thank so much. so now you might want to look up with the text. my mom, later on on my mobile device again,

ah. your other update for the middle east begins right here, right now. and things are bouncing back for cross northern areas of saudi through some of the gulf states where we had low temperatures and we've got some active weather moving across western areas of iran. but you know, tater on at 14 degrees, that's actually above average for the sum of the year off the pakistan things looking good in the south karate at $29.00 degrees, but some instability through the foothills of the himalayas. no, for turkey were really seen a weather front just slide across here. it's going to slam into the western portion of the country around the eastern met as well. so a few days of rain to come for on talia. but i think the worst of it will be on tuesday. we'll see when gus up to 70 kilometers per hour, and potentially pick up 50 millimeters of rank, births of rain to be expected around kinshasa through gabon in camer room. but if i take it further toward the south, we've seen some severe thunderstorms, western cape eastern cape right through to the free stay,

but most of that starts to peter out on monday, but still toward that northeast corner of south africa. we'll see some active weather here. so for johannesburg, the rain is going to be near over the next few days and likely to power up some thunderstorms here. and then we go from 28 degrees down to 22 on wednesday, those thunderstorms, cooling the atmosphere season. ah frank assessments, this crisis is continued to weaken a location even though they're cap. see, believe them the beginning, the informed opinions, i think politicians will now be under incredible pressure from the young people. that is one of the most of the things to come out of this critical debate. do you think they should be facilitated? not okay, great. it's a really simple question. let's give samuel chops once. inside story on al jazeera aah,

al jazeera with man mas deposed, lay the long same suit. she has been sentenced for years in prison. ah, i'm sad me say that this is al jazeera alive from dell hall. so coming up, i did not allow myself to succumb to the dictates of hooligans. the prime minister of the solomon islands survived in our confidence, both in parliament, sparks by anti government riots.
