days later, they said that applies to women on t v as well. if i had one last on but up this decree is unpredictable for all female presenters, because a slum has not commanded us to cover our faces. every islamic scholar and political figure has opposed this decree. forcing women to cover their faces is a return to a signature policy. of the taliban is passed hard line rule. the taliban said female presenters. it could wear a medical mask instead. regardless, sonya says she feels trapped. i saw this. if such decrees are issued and imposed on women than women across afghanistan will be eliminated. as we see now that women are being gradually eliminated. if women don't comply, they or their mail guardians could get fired from their jobs or imprisoned. taliban leaders had promised to respect women's an girls rights when they retook control of afghanistan last august. but rights groups have voiced concerns about the growing

crackdown, including liberty and girls education. and now the female face is the latest target wiped from afghan tv screens. leah harding al jazeera ah. carrie jones with the headlines. iran's elite military unit revolutionary guard says, one of its members has been assassinated in the capital. tehran gone men on to motorcycle, shot dead hassan yard. when are you in his car? russian forces are stepping up. they're bombardment of front lines, city seeking to gain military momentum, rushes defense ministry says it's been hitting ukrainian military targets in the eastern region. the 1st u. s. military aircraft carrying 32 tons of baby formula from germany has landed in the us state of indiana. america has seen a critical shortage due to a product recall by the countries leading baby formula manufacturer as well as

this is inside story. ah, hello, welcome to the program. i'm hashem alcala. australia has seen unprecedented bush fires and flooding in recent years. the extreme weather has brought climate change to the top of the vote as agenda and greens and climate focused independence made big gains in saturday's election of the expense of the conservative coalition. australia is a major export of fossil fuels, and the art going government often objected to plans to reduce greenhouse emissions . neighboring pacific island say australia is blocking action even as their territories are under threat of sinking. uneasy ties with the island nations are

spilling into security as concerns mount in australia and the u. s. about china's recent deal with the solomon islands. we're bringing our guys shortly. first. this report from sarah clark in sydney, day one in the nation's top job. and anthony albanese is promised unity and optimism into a strength in voters. he'll hit the ground running, boarding a flight to tokyo on monday for his 1st official meeting as a nation's leader. obviously the quad latest meeting is an absolute priority for strayer. and it is, it enables us to send a message to the world that way. there is a change of government. there will be some changes in policy, particularly with regard to climate change in our engagement with the world on those issues. the selection race was run on personality over policy. powerful swings let the conservative coalition party,

without the numbers to hold on to government. as voters drove the liberals out of key margin with states. the are going prime minister returned to his church, conceding his party, misjudged the electorate. given us with right foundation from which we can walk, what has been a very difficult walk? i gotta tell you, have the last, almost 4 years. but at the last election. ready we really understood that it was for such a time as this and and now we both know it was for such a time as then new to parliament or at least 9 high profile female independence. the group campaigned for more action on climate change and legislating a federal integrity commission to investigate political corruption. that appealed to voters who abandoned candidates from scott morrison's party in blue ribbon seats love to fit the independent fucking through china and

a step forward. and for the environment, a fairlight, maybe nozzle, time for us to, to do something different. and if we can get action on climate change, they're not going to be quite excited. this election has seen a seismic shift in australia's political landscape. not only is there a new group of independent, monning, grind, directional climate change, the grains potty is also having it as the best result ever with dramatic, dines in both the lower and the upper house. the postal boat is still being countered and some seats remain undecided that the labor party has bowed to get down to business with more united approach to federal politics. sarah, clock out 0 city. ah, let's bring in, i guess they're all joining us from australia encumbered carlisle fire emeritus professor at the university of new south wales and director of fire consultancy in melbourne. anna scott beck, seo climate work center in won't go. gregory mil of it's professor of history and

politics of the university of ongoing welcome to the program. carline, often times climate change is an issue that would be relegated to the backbone of an election campaign except for this time. it has become this size if, why? well, as your lead in said, straight experience, bush fires as part of the globe and we have a very active community here that understands the need to confront climate change. i myself participate in 2007 in a study by the u. s. government on $36.00 countries of interest in my particular area, southeast asia, sea level rise, which is, will affect the pacific and southeast asia was seen. temperature will change, affecting crops, it will affect it. infestation by insects. so all across the board is suppressing

exit central issue. and we watch the major powers equivocate as a attend international conferences and particularly the morse government. and so the reaction by getting the greens in queens on getting these independence have been to pick up the mantel and say the major power survey of us and are the major power. both the opposition and the government have lost a substantial role from the support that i know what, what does the shift in the climate policy mean for the labor party or the new prime minister? are we likely to see less investments in fossil fuels, or cutting emissions? becoming a top priority, well being coming government does have a higher ambition for its climate policy than the previous government. both parties are committed to the net goal for 2015 and the incoming government has a higher target for 2030. but interestingly,

that target is not as high as the large business group, such as the business count for strategy or, and other groups have us government guy. and it's, it's certainly not as high as what would align strategy with the parents. the agreement, goals are well below 2 very than one and a half degree. and so the greater than the independent candidates will be coming government to rise examination for the emissions reductions to be achieved in the next decade. there are also substantial for investments in transmission and our gene restructure and other policies to increase action from industry and electric vehicles. and there is an increased policy agenda from the incoming government. greg, saying that the country's going to take you direction is one thing, but do you expect any sort of backlash from the business says,

which are historically centered around the very basic fossil fuel one would expect there will be, you know, at the current point of time strain call exports doing extremely well, of course, because of the situation in the prior russia, there's a great demand of the world for call in various places. and this is because there's a shortage of some of both gas and coal. so in some ways of the current economic circumstance. no. strayer is very much being held up by both call and gas and explore salon all ok, carlisle for the time being we have to wait and see whether the the labor will have the majority in the parliament. but in case we end up having a hunk parliament, how do you see a policy is being shaped?

do you think he would have to reach out to other parties to be able to deliver what his promises? well, the labor government, his instead we'll have to see if they can maintain it, that they're not going to enter into into deals with parties that they're sitting on at the moment. 71 projection to have a majority. but if they haven't, depending on the size, i need 100, sorry, the 76 seats, their independence. when i talking about david polk, off from here and cambra or negotiating with the greens, which would then create difficulties for the government. particularly if they demanded the season cabinet. other quite fascinating the way climate 200 and the but if you don't know who stepped in providing massive support for the independence are changing the political landscape in australia. are we moving towards the direction now where climate change is going to be the top priority for the political establishment chinese that the community had moved ahead of perhaps,

where the mainstream politics was. and the mainstream policies has, has, has been a topic of quite divisive debate. decade in australia and the kept the deal and they be independent voices of movement. have been funded by somebody stone as bartel, thousands of small diet. but also business has moved ahead and a strategy, or is an economy that certainly you can fucking fuels at the moment, but also even open economy with, with a very large financial investment international outlook. and so we, we are very plugged into the trends of the shareholders in the institute tional investment community internationally. and so those are expecting rapid de capitalization for the safety of their investment portfolio and long term . and so that has begun to significantly shift stride in business and industry and

the financial sector who have begun to make their own commitments and begin to make preparations. and so there are many in the community as of as being shined by. the teal independence and the the increasing the grain by that where that are expecting, extravagant, business and government to do more. and i think the vote today has that has reflected that the community and industry had moved forward during the day that the political debate was quite stock. and this is perhaps a catching up recognition of that becoming more visible. greg meditech away from the outcome of the elections. one of them is particularly the the fact that the conservative coalition has suffered may just set back in urban areas. are we likely to see both of them reinventing themselves or changing the way the balance of power

has always been maintained between these 2 key players? i think that what's happened, we have to understand that the tail candidates all got up in very wealthy and affluent areas and in sydney, melbourne, and sydney and brisbin. it was the in a city areas that voted for either the grains or for the tails. and that in other parts of the strategy or for example, the national part, he, which represents large parts of the rural establishment, didn't lose a say it out. a suburban area is the liberal part. he did not lose many, many states. so what i suspect will will happen is there will be a political realignment,

particularly with regard to the, the liberal party, because it'll have to decide whether it's worth while going back and trying to win back the seats, or whether it will reinvent itself as a party that perhaps is more focused on rural and regional and suburban estrella. carlisle, one of the most spectacular takeaways from these elections is this is the wise of the teal. the independence. is it an indication of people frustrated over the legacy of a conservative or a sense that australia now is determined about the need to move forward towards new directions? well, i think it's a bit of both. i mean, one, the frustration with the existing parties. but i see it as a reaction to globalization and moves, and other democracies kind of flare up like we've seen in the united states. and not them. these are exact, or, and hungry. in parts of the united kingdom,

where the old established parties of her are now being challenged and movements have international connections. they can raise issues particularly on climate change and have a great deal of authority and challenging the political parties. and then you just add to the rising and pray inflation, skyrocketing prices for your petrol, and you have to satisfaction. and you mentioned the corruption, the mistreatment of women under the worst and government in parliament. undermining the norms that they have. and even now today, the within the liberal party where they to conservative or to progressive is a kind of argument. and so this is playing out and i say to reaction both to the existing system. but i think in reflecting international trends in democracies for climate advocates in is sarabia. this could be

a unique moment because you have the labors getting ground. gee, how the greens and how the teal independence also making gang could be the moment for all of them to team out to be able to come up with a stronger policy as far as implementing climate policies are concerned. yes, all the ingredients are in place for that. in date, over a decade ago, when the last head of minority government, they were pro climate independence with the balance of power and very significant improvement in common policy. inaction will take him in some of which were appeal, but many of which are remaining today. institutions such as the green, the best promotion in arena with the shop in that parliament and are operating successfully and has been supported by by, by governments of both parties. since and so i think it is in date, an important moment, but also it's arriving at

a time when the climate change opportunities and threats more visible to australians. so we've, you've already mentioned the fires and the side that have made climate change from or physically visible from the risk. but also the opportunity has become more visible. the cost of renewable energy and batteries has continued to full dramatically. and the availability of these technologies have become better understood, and indeed the shift has begun in many state governments than in and in the energy system in the sector. but also the manufacturers who are currently part of the fossil fuel economy i recognize being that it is blessed with natural advantages to export 0 emissions energy and commodity using the results that have to create great hydrogen or allow emission mitchells and growth. and so many companies are be beginning to invest substantially in preparing for the next chapter

of a strategies economic part, which would be to global the mission economy. and engage being coming. prime minister anthony navy said in his acceptance speech last night, together, we can take advantage of the opportunity for striving to be a renewable energy superpower. and so understanding has become much more widespread in the last decade and all of those forces are coming together at this time. greg the liberals. last because there is this prevailing sentiment across the country that they were somehow la, good when it comes to tackling climate change issues and in denial. i would disagree with you the liberal thought for a whole range of reasons. the reasons west miss trail. yeah. i think were quite different to the rest of the country. they didn't do well in urban areas. there

were things to do with cost of living. there were things to do with petrol prices. i don't think that you can put a single, a single cause on the elections across the country. for example, there was a swing towards the liberals in my near. so it, these things are far more complex than this. i was just because of climate change. so in this case, in this particular case, the last in urban areas that entail their own holes in rural areas, are we likely to see them reinventing themselves in the future in a way where they will have to redefine the core constituency and agenda. able to maintain the support of the constituencies they still have? well, i think the, the liberal parties had been divided between 2 sections. the moderates and the conservatives. the last of the tales has actually decimated many of the modern

faction element of the party. so it's got to decide, is it going to try and chase those seats, or is it going to try to something else? ok. color. there's another legacy that the labor party will inherit, which is the strange relations with china the when in this election, what does it mean for the future relationship with china? the labor party has said it's when they take off, as it's up to china, which is frozen ministerial context for several years now. to resend that policy and open up the possibilities of dialogue. the labor party doesn't have the baggage of the extreme rhetoric that we've heard during the selection campaign. and so the person personalities do matter. chinese ambassador here in camber has held out

possibilities of a kind of olive branch which is different from the, his predecessor, a warrior. so that the very fact that this is a new government open to possibility, that there could be room for compromise. but labor is being very careful because as your introduction, our prime minister now is just our prime minister to be on monday, just flown off to the quad meeting. and the quad in the quad has this informal understanding of trying to contain or counter chinese influence. so the not going to look well on the stray of that's going to give away the farm, is going to open relations with china, which isn't what the government will come under pressure for business to solve trade problems. but still, it's china that puts the tariffs on and doesn't hold ministerial contacts. so there's an opportunity for china because the parties are different. and we, we have to say, so i think it's with the morrison government. they box themselves in a corner in a sense not necessarily of their own making and relations wouldn't have improved.

and really the balls and chinese court cannot see an opportunity with the government. i know whichever path discover new government is going to take. it will have to look into, into its relationship with, with china and the impact of that relationship on future. these particular, when it comes to climate change, do you think that the government, the government is going to be extremely delicate, careful in whichever direction is going to take as far as the relationship with china is concerned. we've seen in the past in relation to the global agreements on climate change. they have indeed sat above some what the geo politics. we certainly saw that with the us and china and laid up to the previous major comment making, where it becomes quite relevant for us try to reach the now immediate south east asian region and, and the pacific. and certainly, strategies,

relations with specific neighbors are, have been tested g to strategy stance. climate change action in the past and the vulnerability of our neighbors in the pacific islands to extreme climate, climate damage and their desire for wealthy nations, such as a strategy to reduce emissions much more rapidly to help secure the safety of nations in the pacific islands. in, in our region, so they're out there are many nations in a stranded region that are interested in strategies progress on comment. greg from 2018 with the australian government ban. why we from the, from it's 5 g network, all the way to words, the pact between the chinese government and the solomon islands, about setting up what the sway is. fear could be a military base that could change geo geo politics of the region. are we likely to

see this new government in australia take a robust approach, particularly as the americans, the and the japanese remain pretty much concerned about china growing, influencing the region and i think you should include india in that as well. that's why it's required. now a strategy or is i think it was compared to a flea on an elephant in comparison, our relationship with china. we sell a lot of things to china and lee. perhaps we're trapped into selling too much. ah, we import a lot of stuff from china. there's a definite, a definite, very strong connection economically. so, you know, they're from a point of view of necessity. we have to have at least a workable relationship with china. but i think at the present

time, it is very difficult working with, with, with china and simply simply because it's been flexing his muscles over the last 10 years or so. so it's, it's whether i'm deaf, skeptical, actually, whether any government in australia actually has the sophistication to, to really deal with with, with the chinese government. dan, i'm yet to be convinced that either side of politics is actually has that capability, especially the trade volume between the 2 nations, especially fall of this way. and exports are concerned, which was sending up about something like a $104000000000.00 over the last see is this is going to be really taken into

consideration for whatever decision they astray as we have to take for the time. being polite via ana scopic and greg melvin a really appreciate your insight. thank you. thank you very much and thank you to for watching, you can see the program again any time by visiting our website al jazeera dot com for further discussion. go to our facebook page, thus facebook dot com forward slash ha inside slowly. you can also join the conversation on twitter. 100 is at ha insightfully from me hush amount about the entire team here in doha. i found, ah ah
