that has not vaccinated its population as a headlines, these continues here on al jazeera and after the stream. and i'll see after that, i found out the cannes film festival is back in full swing with the plane. some blockbuster stopped up to remind us that the thin mar, experian thief, back on the many organizers will roll out the red carpet for ukraine and to start billing address. but president phil lensky will see solidarity help. the agenda live, cooperate on al jazeera did with i am i to have a dean today on the stream 3 stories we are following closely, 11 years into the war in syria. we look at how it's impacting generations of syrian children. next afghanistan, where the taliban is once again forcing women to cover their faces in public. but we start in sri lanka where a political crisis took

a violent turn. this week. the commission in sri lanka is getting less in a daily basis should be the skyrocketing by itself is inches. it's a current. you couldn't study so the speaker took it bursts that are shorter use of food items, only limited stocks release. there are charters may be seen, and there are huge cues fall for a domestic gas and kerosene. and he does, in fact of the transportation and the soup kitchen as good the do income families has impacted quite a lot because of these issues. and the other part of the societies, phoebe, i, as well, we from gas station as been helping the families with food essentials around the country. on thursday, sri lankan president good tiara de pest poxy appointed a new prime minister to contain protests over his handling of a severe economic crisis. the government is grappling with rising oil prices and the impact of tax cuts. here to discuss more from the capital, colombo is al jazeera, as michelle fernandez. now,

thank you for being with us. i want to kind of get straight to it. it seems like every day the situation is escalating a political crisis. economic crisis turning into basically social upheaval. what's the latest? so a couple of hours ago we got a new prime minister run into vicar missing her. he's not new to the rule, but it's his latest sort of turn at the post of 5 minutes self shalanda. he's been serving for a record number of times as 5 minutes of this country. and this is to have number 6, a jesting lee. he's never yet been able to complete a full time at right. and i understand that even though he's been on the political scene for decades, he doesn't have a lot of support amongst a public or the opposition as you outlined. i mean, it seems like it's realigned because economy as we've been talking about for weeks as we know is in a freefall in terms of you know, the desperation for lack of a better word. what's it like men along the ground?

i mean, i've seen the lines, i've seen a lot of footage of people looking for basic goods. how bad is it? it's getting increasingly difficult to source essentials. now there are obviously certain kinds of goods that are in short supply or just not available. for example, of cooking gas or now petrol and diesel fuel for vehicles. so, so those are sort of key things which, you know, every single household more or less relies on. and when you're not able to secure those things, in addition to the fact that you know, your basic staples are also a sort of becoming more and more difficult to come by. as well as the fact that cost of things are skyrocketing. i mean, every sort of visit you do to the supermarket or the grocery store, you need to double check on prices because the rupees in freefall. yeah. for after

a long time of sort of controlling it very tightly, it's oddities of now allowed a freeflow. it's all of a sudden it's skyrocketing. so all of these things put together, surging inflation. 30 percent plus is really making it tough for the ordinary shalanda. and i, you know, speaking of how tough it is, let's listen to ordinary sri lankan themselves and take a listen. i hit the bottom economically. we earn a living from money made by driving this auto ritual. by the time i q up for fuel and managed to get any petro the curfew will be imposed, i don't have enough time to do my job. i will have to go home without my landlord. that would not hello, come out even dog shops, but there is no point. there are no people what were adjusted or not good. you know, i, i see those people speaking and i hear what you're saying. it seems like concerns are rising yet when it comes to the president himself, he's tweeting saying, i urge all sri lankan to reject the subversive attempts to push you towards racial

and religious disharmony. promoting moderation, toleration and co existence is vital. this religious disharmony that we keep hearing about. i mean it's re, lumpkins have criticized the speech on wednesday by the president. i believe it was his 1st. if i'm not mistaken, manella since the protest really began. oh, what, where do you see this going? is he able to contain this politically? economically? is he going to be able to, to appease people or to deliver the basics for them not to increasingly get more volatile and violent? that's what he's hoping. and that's what's the appointment of running vicar missing hayes all about essentially trying to sort of steer this ship through some very, very choppy waters at present. because his own team of people that he had surrounded himself with to deal with chill, our economy had let him down so badly. now there. 5 members of his div, that's the president, steve,

that have sort of accepted the fact that the president was misled, that he didn't have the right kind of advice from officials, but the at the end of the day, these are not sort of surprises. you've had the opposition for months almost up to a year. if you are more warning of the fact that it's debt has been unsustainable, that it is heading towards a major crisis. weights. foreign currency reserves are concerned, in fact some of the sort of stronger representatives on the economic side of the opposition had urge that we going for a sort of a plan before on the trip payment. i mean, this was almost a year ago, but the government just continued in almost a pigheaded fashion of insisting that they were in control of everything. but on the side, they just continued printing money on copious amounts of it to sort of balance their payments. and at the same time,

they sort of went on this major trip saying they have never before to the country. and indeed, since independence, we did never defaulted on any debt and loans that they would do this. so we saw the foreign currency reserves plummet, right. and until such time that there was almost no more money in the kidney, then they kind of woke up and started talking crises and started asking everybody to get involved with this kind of recovery. so it was a bit too late, right then you know, we have a lot of people in our you tube, char commenting, live saying for example, raise one rahim things 3 long because economic crisis is a tailor made one by the raja pasha family. and we've also been seeing a lot of the footage really shocking footage of cars as you can see on twitter right here being dumped into the water there and to lakes. and you know, it seems as though certainly online that the story is, is not going anywhere. we're going to keep following it. now. i want to thank you for joining us. we're gonna have to leave it there for today. but you can also

follow all of manella reporting at al jazeera dot com from sri lanka we now moved to syria in 2021 on the stream we marked one decade of war, but we also candidly asked, does anyone even care anymore? since then, we've seen other conflicts take over the headlines, but have a listen to what our guest doctor had saw fluid and aaliyah malik how to say what's happening is, syria is affecting a whole generation of children. it started, the student crisis started with children calling for freedom and 55000 of them have been killed since the beginning of the crisis. their life expectancy was got down by 13 years and then years of conflict. and there's still, you still are the main victims of the crisis. and unfortunately, the international community does not have a solution for them to end this crisis. and. ready towards peace and justice. young children are quite literally the future. and i just think how can you build the

future on you know, for this generation and with this generation by this generation, when the trauma so amounts and there isn't really a possibility to, to remediate it. by asking for justice or accountability this week, unicef warned that 12300000 syrian children are in need of aid, both inside the country and in the wider region where they've fled since the war began. to discuss this, we have julia to mom. she's regional chief of advocacy and communications for unicef in the middle east and north africa. julia, thank you for being with us. i want to ask you straight off the top i, we've heard a lot of different concerns around the welfare, the well being of children in syria. what is the most pressing matter on your mind? first the while and then let me thank you for having me about them. more importantly, i'm sincere condolences for for your loss over there,

coming out there, shading on barkley. thank you very much. what concerns us, that most of the time, the fact that 11 years down the line, the needs of faster in children, are huge. in fact, that last week we recorded the highest number of children in need insights area. and it was i and on the eve of their boston conference where we have asked for a region funding that we needed for syrian children. yeah, you know, when we talk about that urgent funding, looking at a tweet from a j plus wrapping up some of the statistics, you know, syria relief saying that a 100 over $100.00 schools will be close by august. this is obviously gonna have ramifications that go far beyond that. you know, we know 1750000. that's almost 2000000 children in siri are out of school. obviously that increases the risks of them. and, you know, confronting kind of tougher life realities such as child labor and child marriage.

how realistic is that connection? what's the immediate need? do you mean for education specifically? yeah. like in terms of, you know, if they're out of school at how, how large is the risk of them, they might fall into a tougher life realities very large. in fact, we have seen the education crisis developing over the power that came where so came about half of 53, and children who need to been going their after school. and the longer children stay out of school, you know, from, from others that things more difficult. it becomes to get children back to school. so they do indeed full pray, hard labor and times marriage. and in the case of, we've seen many, many children, sadly joining the fighting. right. and, you know, it's, it's really tough to imagine. it's been over 10 years. and yet it's so seldom that

we actually see any real focus. i least in the media quite frankly, these days put on syria. andy warrior, kind of talking about this disparity and how far we've come in youtube saying to us, i think the world should stop caring and interfering and leave syrians time for themselves. they can take care of themselves, they were doing a pretty good job, obviously not, not the little simplistic, possibly in terms of a criticism, but this notion of who is responsible at this point. juliet, where do you try to draw the most attention? or where do you expect to get the most support for these children? ok, well really, you know, confirm to point fingers or to say who is responsible. what really matters now is that children in syria and in the neighboring countries have been suffering for way through long and until they finish fighting. and until the solution

is found, we have to, we have to continue, continue, help children in theory, and in the neighboring concrete, the needs are huge. the ripple effects off the direct prices into serious neighboring countries like lebanon joined in turkey. egypt is phenomenal. these countries have been so generous, taking on almost $6000000.00 refugees over the course of the year. we can give up serious chips and the children of the region and really protracted conflicts, obviously, making that all the more challenging you know, with what's happening in the ukraine and russia in the fall out. i do want to ask you before i let you go, juliet is still in our region if you will, mental health, really a taboo. i do know that thousands of children have been identified as needing psycho social support due to trauma. and this also might mean that they're less likely to get that important support. how big an aspect is that in terms of where the needs

are for these children? huge bird children of fair not only live in a war, they live in a war in find them. they've been trustees that no one should say, i mean, when i was in syria, i remember meeting a child who i think about 7 or 8 years old and all he talked about was about beth and he used the word death so many times. and i was just mind boggling that it's on his age knows what death mean. he witnessed that he spoke about it and he was just so numb and it was just one child. and there's many, many children like this. and so the need of our mental health are immense. we do know that children in 5, syria, especially those living in areas where the conflict is ongoing, like in the northwest bay, have children sleeping, they bed,

whereas they cry or all the time they're clean. and so the bath aspect is often under reported and often spoken about for a number of reasons, but the names are, are really, really high. i'd like to thank you for speaking to us today in general and about this julia. we look forward to speaking with you again and now to afghan a stand where the taliban is once again requiring women to be covered up had to tow and forcing them to stay indoors unless accompanied by a male chaperone. the town man's latest order is a very serious escalation in their ongoing attack on women's rights. this order not only orders that women and girls should cover their faces with either a burk or any cob when they're outside the homes. it also says that they shouldn't go out of their home at all unless it's absolutely necessary to do so. and the

order says that when women disobey the punishment will be inflicted, not on them, but on their male family members, which essentially makes every ask and man, the jailer of his own female family members. here to share her thoughts with us, pushed on on to ronnie as the director at learn, afghanistan pushed on and thank you so much for being with us. i. i thought you nodding as we heard from how they're there at the top of the segment. what do you make of what she said, how she frame things, but more importantly, as a young sort of advocate, what concerns you most, what's happening. thank you so much for having me and putting the smart light enough on the sun. although it's, it's barely in the news anymore. yeah. what heather sees, is god. dest completely makes sense. but also, at the same time, if you look at it, there is nothing left to back, literally, left to bad. you band education,

you band going to school. he's been working outside you been leaving the country. so what as is left to grab the international attention. oh. or he job or a book got there already in practice. i come from a family, my mom, i sort of the, from 4 of my anchors, but you know, because that's how we are in the regions. and that has been in place. and when the americans are need to keep it didn't change, continue eva, seem. and people, and called, well, if you look at the seventy's and the 60 and the iep, i didn't where they job back then either not by his job. i mean the whole work i by he job by me the what proper clothes and i work in color, the pieces you have to understand that it has been in practice from past few decades. and you can just see that, oh we enforcing a job on the right. sorry. yeah. well, i appreciate you bringing that up and also making a point that there's nothing left to ban. you know,

looking at just are tweet from al jazeera english men and women are not now now allowed to dine out together or to visit public parks on the same day. it seems like a lot of measure is being taken. i wondering what is the actual intended aim and i want you to speak to that, but because you also mash mentioned pushed on this idea of the memory. you know, i understand the average age of, of women in afghanistan is just under 20 years old. now i do want to ask you how old you are, but i'd imagine pretty close. and you know, in some respects, a relative sense of liberty might be all they know relative to what the taliban is demanding right now, in most afghan women's living memories, i would imagine of this idea of compulsory had and face coverings are also quite limited. what can you share with us about kind of where afghanistan was and, and what this, how people women are processing this on the ground, still protesting. well, there's the, you know,

i'm pretty for bad google think that and 25. so that's the essence. but apart from that, yes, majority of on women are under goods are under 2020 move up on the sun is a young country. and at the same time, it's not just a one good or something great. now if you're expecting a brother to be beaten or what a sister who is not hiding fees, because she's sweet too young, but as physically big a completely loses then motion are the notion that this girl is not accepted as enough on her own country. you know her own and is not comfortable going outside your own country, supposed to protect you for that. that's the 1st thing. the 2nd thing is right now, if you look at all these decrease literacy workforce traveling, everything is around women. you do that. the country is also abusing human rights right now in the northern part of a one is done and even the army officers and police officers to have fun. i'm the

color on right now are not focusing on hungry or the styrene or the managed. nothing is being done about that. how many degrees have been passed that the taliban should actually be using the texas used from that port towards the hospitals or the management wards or the star rewards? nothing back so, but all of a sudden every now and then we have a decree on women. why? so? because they're using women a for their own political gains. and at the same time you have to see that each 9 months a go. we had a country where 30 percent of the workforce was women. we had millions of good in schools. we had a fax on that women traveling alone. we had a women as better than those we had. women were politically representing, you representing you in civil rights representing you internationally. we had an identity, we had a passport, that was actually acceptable. we had a government that was accepted and at the moment and i'm not, i'm her son. i appreciate you saying you know how things were and where they're,

where they are now and where they're headed. i want to also kind of hear from some of those brave women's, still protesting this latest decision to listen. hello. hi. hi, good. that darla bon, impose their culture on afghan women under the name of the his job. ever since the taliban sees power in afghanistan, all their projects have been against women. they want to limit and eliminate women from the field of society and politics. from our here, paul mitchell, i am, but we want to be known as a living creature. we want to be known as a human being not like a slave imprisoned in the corner of the house and have our husbands beg for a piece of bread. we'll never, ever one such a day. i got another claim. bershana, when you listened to those women, i'm wondering how do you feel about that?

i'm going to be honest. at one point i am proud that there are women despite any we out of all this stuff. yes, to the standing up street. i the but at the same time i do for you side, back for the past 20 years, our women were weaponized used for legalizing this war. and then now all this, even now women are used as political wants by the current treaty to have your, their own recognition and political gains. so yes, there is a sense of pride, but also a sense of hopelessness and sort of, you know, when you feel down because that's not what is there supposed to be at work, right. supposed to be looking after that student is not best. are you optimistic based on, i mean we have a question from andy and are you to child saying, what do i have danny's feel about their neighbors and their role in the plight of janice? and are they helping or not helping? i mean, looking regionally looking at the international community, you mentioned at the top of the show that, you know,

if dana santa unfortunately isn't really covered the way it props once was, are you optimistic? the things will change for women and even even more broadly, as you made the point, you know, there have been new videos and testimonies that have been emerging online of, of new executions as well as arbitrarily detaining unarmed civilians. are you optimistic for the future of afghanistan? i think i am optimistic, i love the women of, of planner and the fact that we have isn't back in the day and it's nothing new. this has happened to us again and again. but then at the same time, one thing that i want to highlight is the regional powers have always been games. no one has done. they have always played a way to the road to make sure that the women up on the sun are always back. now i am currently honestly disappointed at the fact that the regional women were actually muslim, no philistine towards their own muslim sisters were free. right now i'm going to g banks imposing so many laws that are not even sure yet. shantia white, right?

yeah. you know, as you talk about those women, i mean, what do you think they can do? what is their role? i mean, like a 4 starters, a country pakistan has a lot of women representatives. why are those women representatives silent right now? i'm not pushing their own leadership to ask and pull it back to stop being this to the women of afghanistan to opened a school for women in up. i can, i mean, closing schools did come from that side of the border. so why are and be pushing for that? and apart from that, the thing was going on, i mean, you know, has a lot of women representatives, india as that goes way are and be pushing for that. if the want to kind of what that women flemister, well, persona, obviously this is a story that's not going away. i do want to ask, you know, we saw the news about young girls and now we've seen women being restricted, our girls able to go to school just very quickly. what's the state of no good cannot go to school guys from grade 6 to 7 to 12. i'm not a bad being. all right?

yeah, yeah. so, so essentially it's the same as it was several weeks ago when that when they prevented them from going to school. yes, thank you. past santa, for all that context, we have to leave it there to day. but remember, if you're watching this at home and you have a story idea as you'd like to see on the show, tweet us at a j string ah fixing longer house and shorter deadlines. south korean delivery drivers are literally being worked to death. one 0 one, east explorer, the dock side of consumer convenience and south korea on ouch. as sarah holding the powerful to account. as we examined the u. s. is role in the world on al jazeera, it's 74 years, often nationally, and

a permanent displacement of more than $700000.00 palestinians. a year long from the bowman, although dizzy was offices in the gaza strip of land in the weeks of network journalist sharina abbey was killed in the occupied west bank. we examined the situation in palestine in a one hour special program joiners. on all jazeera, it's rush hour at the local community center in lieu batch of 15 kilometers from the border with ukraine. donald ducats jack is a retired russian language teacher and is collecting goods donated by people from all over europe. thought i agree are helping people on the other side of the border . the ones who stayed behind who can lead since russia invaded ukraine, done new to has been driving across the border every day. crossing the border is always tricky, but the women say that the to day they have

a lucky day because the border guard is someone they know and they're trying to be hopefully much easier to bring down the goods in donato. if we leave to find a less chaotic situation, that in the past few days, people seem less exhausted just i'm, i'm not crying. as you can see. the new dos mission has been accomplished for now, but you will return with more goods as long as russia's missiles and rockets forced people out of ukraine. ah, mm. mm. after a state service attended by thousands mornings prepare for the funeral, al jazeera serena blocked. it was killed by israeli falls ah

other m t m l facilities are alive from dough also coming up for weld pressure grows for full and transparent investigation. palestinian president
