united nations is saying the taliban is attempting to it steadily of race, women, and girls from public life. the comments come from a joint statement by a group of rights experts. they're saying that the taliban policies constitute a collective punishment of women and girls, grounded on gender based bias and harmful practices. and they are concerned by continuous and systematic efforts to exclude women from the social economic and political spheres. they also one that it's now harder for women to work and to make a living, pushing them further into poverty or otherwise put to fuzzy a coffee. who is the 1st female deputy speaker of parliament in afghanistan, and are women's rights activists. she says, even before the taliban take of women were suffering inside the country, woman and under developed communities. and the minorities are the main victim of this humanitarian crisis. because during the war over for,

for the kids of war and but particularly over to the kids of war, a lot of women actually lost the bit winners of the family. and they have been the big winner of the family now that they are stopped from accessing office is going to work. or even they are not allowed to get out of their homes and travel up to a certain distance with the main company. and if the without the main company, if they have to travel in public taxes or buses, they need to be asked for a mail company or madam. and if they don't have a company in the taxi driver cannot, basically the taxi drivers have become like, you know, a moral police for woman or which is so wrong. because how can you actually ask a police, a taxi driver who is not even educated to be the, the board of police for women. so women and minorities are the most, i receive hundreds of calls per day from the local communities asking for basic food. and i think yes,

humanitarian crisis is there. we need to really ensure that women are in the mainstream distribution of the 8, not only as recipients, but not as decision making as people who are higher. i don't want to put as international community to make gender inclusion as a condition, but we need to really seriously negotiate the international community. must negotiate to ensure that women are part of the, in a distribution of 8 in the decision making, as staffers as managers, as people who are actually by international community. they need to really showcase that women can do. and women must be included. a german foreign minister says she'll do everything and have power to guarantee you crane security. and alina burbock made the comments during a meeting with ukrainian officials in kiev, and trying to revive full way peace, silks of russia and france to end the conflict in the east. and don, boss, region assure has been massing troops at a border with ukraine. arising fears of an invasion,

jannen foreign minister will meet her russian counterpart in moscow on tuesday. dominic came brings us more now from berlin. the thing that really stood out from this meeting, at least the news conference it emerged after the meeting of the 2 foreign ministers was a reiteration of germany's perspective, germany's support for ukraine and alina bell, bach saying effectively to the russians that any further, each further aggression would be met with some diplomatic response from her country and others saying in her opinion that diplomacy is the only way to solve this crisis. also referring to the normandy format, saying that the full way meeting of ministers between paris here, moscow, berlin, that that's a format that they want to reinvigorate where possible. but it is worth making the point that in questions both to mrs. burbock and to her counterparts. me total, clear, but when the question was about whether the german government would seek to provide

some form of material support in the form of weapons, perhaps. and alina beveled did not touch on much choosing not to answer the question directly, which of course is interesting in itself, because they're all those who say that if germany wants materially to support ukraine and perhaps weapons would be a way of doing it. but as a say that was not touched upon, at least not by the german foreign minister, the global vaccine sharing program kovacs has reached its target of shipping a 1000000000 doses to a 144 countries. it started in february, but global vaccine inequity remains high with only 5 percent of people and poor poor nations fully inoculated, and more than 40 percent of the world's population has not yet received a fuss dose. while in brazil, children aged at 5 to 11 years old on our seething vaccines, even after delay. creative by the president, monica dana key. f has more. after months of political

wrangling, mass vaccination of children is finally under way. in brazil, lunar or the video told us he's relieved. his 5 year old asthmatic son has just been inoculated against covered 19 watchmakers of us now. so the vaccination campaign could have started before delay in brazil was result of the government's doing all of the pandemic and the lack of leadership. i got my sonata when i got some health officials expect that most of the 20000000 children between the ages of 5 and 11, will show up to get their shots. despite president jay bull scenarios repeated attempts to discredit the vaccines efficacy and safety, he has announced that his 11 year old daughter will not be inoculated walker. oh, are you going to fax in that your child against something which someone young can catch have an almost 0 chance of dying? some 300 children have died in brazil. since the pandemic began brazil's health

regulatory agency on visa approved the vaccine for children in december. but the president publicly questioned the decision, suggesting there was something shady about it, but with burden, what's behind place, what are the interests behind it? what are the interests of vaccine maniacs? made his remarks were contested by on visas. president unbundled bah, for his who like many of both scenarios, advisors is also military officer. he asked the president to show proof of wrong doing or to apologize for making unfounded accusations. political analysts sable sonata is trying to maintain the support of his hard core followers, as polls show he will probably lose his bid for reelection in october. he has lost nutrition and death situation and, and there were, there were other, i'd yell at me told that he has lots of walk from the military on his position about the boxing issue. or why?

because the, the military themselves have said determined that no soldier or opposite should go to work with dogs, proof of vaccination. meanwhile, the delay and vaccinating brazilians, both adults and children, has had serious effects. i've asked, they've been why we lost time and could have avoided many hospitalizations and deaths. luckily, brazil as a country where people trust vaccines and show up when there's a national inoculation campaign, or beth has cassiano says her family never had any doubts. her 14 year old son has already had 2 shots and her 8 year old daughter will be vaccinated next week. maybe somebody may don't remember to politics in brazil is very polarized, and the vaccine ended up being a part of this political lawyer where people are more interested in proving his right. and he's wrong instead of treating this is what it is. a public health issue and a right to life. i did that, that a recent poll says 8 out of 10 brazilians are in favor of the coven, 19 vaccine,

despite their political preferences, and fake hughes monica. you're not give all jazz 0. after a strong start, chinese economic growth slowed at the end of last year. the pandemic real estate troubles and the lowest birth rate and decades of being blamed for the slump. root climate has more now from hong kong. as trying to tackles its on the chrome spread, a temperature check on the health of its economy shows mixed results. 4th quarter g d p rose by 4 percent from a year ago. according to china's national bureau statistics that's stronger than the government's own target. but nearly a full percentage points slower than the previous quarter. the chinese economy grew by 8 point one percent in 2021 with the help of steady industrial output as the world continue to buy china's goods. in taxes you father, industrial production, experienced sustained development, and high tech manufacturing and equipment manufacturing experienced fast growth. but momentum is waning and it's economy last steam in the 2nd half of the year,
