madge having bowed frankly to the inevitable after the pressure that has been put on him to step down to the good of the party for the good of the country. he was vowing to hang on bind to defy the critics insisting that he had a mandate from the 14000000 people that he had voted for him in the 2900 election, despite the fact that his cabinet ministers were putting in their resignation, letters and some of the language that they were using in those letters, which actually gave him a forest johnson's leadership of his integrity of his vanity as well. the most recent ones, the guy was carolyne johnson who's the conservative party chairman the cumulative effects of your areas of judgment. she wrote, have squandered the goodwill of our great party. she's just one of the 50. she was the 55th member of the government to quit. he was frankly running out of staff, running out to a people in government to govern width and full. just remind us how we got to to,
11:31 am
to this point, what's led to this political crisis the, the straw that broke the camel's back was an incident with a member of a government whose job is the deputy chief. we're not responsible party discipline . essentially, michael, chris pincher. who was very, very drunk in the carlton club during the course of last week and essentially sexually assaulted a male staffer now the boss johnson was questions that i present had been appointed to this job. when given the fact that he had a little bit of a track record for this, he had been the been an incident when he was at the foreign office back in 2019. and boris johnson said he had no knowledge of any prior situation about crispin's your product concerns. in fact, he was pulled out for that. being untrue bonus,
11:32 am
johnson had been briefed in person about the situation with chris pincher. i'm about the fact that chris pinches conduct had resulted in a formal process and the, the complaints had been upheld. but johnson tried to wriggle after that by saying, oh yes, i forgot about that. sorry, yes, i'm sorry, but it was simply an oversights, a mis recollection, but the weary and peace on his own party of the conservative party, frankly, had had enough because we've had a succession of this. you've had a party gauge, for example, during the course of 20202021. when staff here in the prime minister's own office, holding gatherings in breach of corona virus lockdown rules, the prime minister himself was issued with a fixed penalty fine by the police. as a result of attending one of these gatherings, again, he followed a typical path in the forest johnson, which is festival. to deny that there was anything going wrong, but then to apologize and say, well,
11:33 am
we consider the matter close. it will wash any more. and now he's, after, i'll just here is pull brennan, reporting live from dining street in london. just to remind you once again, british media are reporting that private subarus johnston has agreed to resign. his face a growing rebellion within his ruling party of a series of scoundrels on number 10, as not said anything other than the prime minister will make a statement to the country later today that he is continues here on out a 0 after the stream, which is coming up next a weekly look at the world to talk business stories from global markets to economies and small businesses to understand how it affects our daily lives, economic damage in counting the cost on outages you i

11:37 am
millions of either women. i was able to bring in the laws into, within the countries, you know, legislation as part of the, the teams that we have been working and worked with so many other women, you know, who found they had we sold to they like after august 20 and you know, augustine, when i've won a son was kind of handed over and you know, without a political settlement add to the taliban at piece deal that happened that was signed by viola said that you know, many of the out on politicians, we're not, we're literally kind of you know, sold out as a while and then what happened was i'd like overnight. so all those, you know, to 1000000 women who would, what a king like a clerk or an a. so in the civil service teachers, the next day they all kind of, you know, rush to their what works and spaces and then they were stopped at the gate, them at the doors that know you can't go any more. so it was a very big shock to a lot of women because we had, you know, like women working in on these sectors. not just in the big cities and cobbled
11:38 am
where we have been living. but also in the, you know, in bigger cities and urban areas. so it was a very big shock and we talk ok. maybe the situation will start changing in a few months. at the taliban will find the out of their space, but then life became harder. so right now and natalie, you hear about the girls schools being, you know, close, that's wines. this part of the story. women are not able to go to work. you know, i went with 200 women on daily basis and the store, as i hear, you know, the women who are not just the revenge that, that's being taken from them. but about the space that has been taken away. so like if you had a woman and i've gone, has done your life starts within the door for was off uniform from the morning until even so much more women on now stuck in the own. i'm 70 bringing soccer soccer. welcome to the conversation. so lovely to have you here. recently, just a few days ago there was a grand assembly, a loyal joker that happened, and no women were invited. what does god tell us?
11:39 am
a grand assembly, thousands of men, not a single woman. thank you so much, jan. i'm not saying this i, i got a loss, i got that. i got that off on my last, not on the last came to be that and then the wanted to get my legitimacy and i didn't get my food for thought and this was the main contact thing up there, someone last year to get enough on the sun unfortunately, and i feel it's not inclusive yet wasn't on off that it next from the to well, the representative on next. and i want to find inside of this, there was an i need to present that the of off one moment. so this is many on if you miss all of them. this is that if you have thought about that, they are not accept. thank you. now little mind as a you went and i can see and then they have their own. if you plan to be going to
11:40 am
go to the into on a ship on home because of the thinking, a few of them so they can do. i know, i think that the one with bell wilma and also and said that the buddy, i mean that is out back to be prime from deaf my last gathering and i've on a thought it was that that's all about is the same problem. they have not changed. yeah, that's all the one off. yes i will. and data those be found that data data did increase their crimes on violation on last night on a woman right right now, and i don't want to find that plan yet. well, i mean, well, yes, yes, go ahead. uh huh. yeah. so i just wanted to add to everything a john fred, you know, like husband interrupted with the life of people and they are generally about the
11:41 am
whole country as if everyone is waiting for this nightmare to and, and they don't know when, and it's almost been a year now, i mean, and women, i mean, everyone knows what's happening to learn a f one and it's a long list of what they have lost and but beyond that, i think one thing that i can say is that women have lost their passion and space. and their political space and their being removed from the site and just adding towards that was on that. yes. you know, joe was a party of men who have one thing in common. and that age like restriction on women's side, they came together and that kind of joe doesn't have any social or political and legitimacy in my view. let me just bring in the voice of the taliban a ton of and spokesperson, who was asked about what are you doing for girls education. and we've paid that up
11:42 am
with a women's group who were pushing back on. we have voices need to be at the table. we need to be at the table. this was from a few days ago. let's have a listen. let's have a look. a topic of girls education. i said earlier that it is a problem that requires a solution. and the governments will take the responsibility of looking into this demand of the people. it's important for future generations as well. that will be a conducive atmosphere for it's when religious scholars agree on a mechanism than it can be approved. it will take some time that a lot. the motor is that out there should be an afghan woman representative when there is a discussion about african women and the future of afghan girls. only she would be able to explain the pain through her words. nobody else can represent african women . nobody can explain the pain african women have suffered for the past 40 years. and especially over the past 10 months said, oh my thought that it, yes ma'am, i don't know that. so i see you nodding when you, when you hear that woman talking about the pain,
11:43 am
i want to share with you another video. this is of women protesting against the increasingly tight dress restrictions. i want to ask you about the spirit of willing who are in afghanistan, daring to protest. let's have a look. i got a ministry, a basin virtue has imposed the job on women across afghanistan. his shots are in islamic issue, but the taliban want to apply their own ideology on all women. i know that we will raise our voice against all the injustice and will oppose the taliban tyranny against the people of afghanistan, especially women. the women of afghanistan will fight to the last breath i saw this is bold. it is, it is i, i have a lot of respect for older women who have the courage to go out and protest. and
11:44 am
at the same time, i'm working from outside. i'm very much connected to us on the phone and like, by my john, i recounts to to the horrible news from off on a phone and sleep with the same kind of news. and i work with women directly, women and girls who are not allowed to go to school are not allowed to work. i just want to say, and i don't want to clarify it from outside. i want to say that but who are inside up on the phone and it takes a lot of courage to be who they are and to do what they are doing with all of the restrictions that they're feeling. i just want to find out that you are because if i did before and so now with a total of one and patriarchy, they were hand in hand. and i told her both on women and i have to say that, you know, like, we shouldn't look at of honest on an app on situation. the app on demand situation and isolation, you know, or, or goes school issue in isolation like, you know,
11:45 am
we have lost our all space that we had created for 20 years. so you know, women and businesses. so i could to, for example, a typical day in my work like, you know, my morning would start with meetings with, for example, you know, in the government or with either organizations with women. or we could simply, you know, for lunch, we could go to a cafe, which was run by women. we could simply go to a restaurant which was run by women or in the afternoon we would go for a gym for a simple workout. all of that is taken away right now. it not only died in the level of caea that has been a, you know, that you see and women because for us, for example, right now i'm talking to a number of women whose men in the family have been taken away. like it's all about half kidnapped men to sure to see a to make women afraid the society already presses women. so now like the families would, would press women more that the woman you raise your voice, the men are going to actually pay the price. so that also kind of, you know,
11:46 am
has created in so much fear. so literally, i think there's literally nothing in terms of the rights that you can say for women back over all the countries. also, it were like the nor tough of, honest on right. now that i'm talking to you in the north of carl bush there is i bomb explosion, that's ongoing. the 5th when i actually, you know, i just saw that the 5th one half a happen. so let's not just see that ad when women are in crisis, actually this is the country, you know, 40000000 population in crisis. i'm so glad you said that because that, that conflict, there's economic crisis or humanitarian crises as well earlier. so i'm going to put this to you earlier. we spoke to a senior advisor on afghanistan at the crock institute. the international piece studies. this is a ref, he gives us a really candy description of life in afghanistan today. have a listen to a riff and then please respond. funds are facing a great number of challenges and dives. purchasing power of the absolute majority
11:47 am
of the population is too low. growth above grade 6 or losing a whole year of school. and there is no indication that the ban on their education will be listed. there is even using violence as suppression as a strategy. i dos its own people and there's i q local inability to address natural disasters that are national responses like building a roof and then realizing that there are no walls to support them. so how does a country have all of that? how is that possible? what are you hearing? i thank you so much before i coming to you, i want to just truly go on the long term opening. unfortunately, unfortunately,
11:48 am
i'm not allowed to see a few of that. their presence in the opening got this thing with your law firm. so that's funny, that as i click allow, which is part of why they continue being a small guy, i'm not certain that i think they are saying i'm on vacation. i don't want to see shirley fall and i'll send you. and if you are out, why do you not see openings at the school and i am i am, i was almost referring to my son is the only company that cassie and last saw minus i cancel. my son is the only
11:49 am
reason i thought it was their school and i guess i'm dad and he needs to work. i need i got a woman that concept choose data, data, data group. they can go out without the same i company then when the fact that they can go to the doctor when they shut the phone line off of the main member of the family. and also they can look for some formula because so that i went out to vicki on that fall, avantia bath not die about a hour. they don't have the for region to draw those. will that the out a lot. okay. so there is a lot in you when you get enough and just there are
11:50 am
a little man back now in avalon, a son lavonne at all, be in any school mindful on all of the aspect of the life i see on the sign of wilma. but for the chance right now, enough on the i to guess i have a questions for you from our audience. who watching right now, i'm going to ask you to address these questions briefly because then we can get to more of these questions. so very straightforward question for this one comes from ali for you. sa ha. all women allowed to what in afghanistan is? look, if you're a woman band, can you tell eli i mean, generally a, i believe more than 95 percent of jobs for women are and, and it's only some women like doctors who are allowed to work or some people who work on travis officially. some teacher, if you met t shirts or teacher, you know, students and the primary school and also some
11:51 am
t v presenter. but you can already see how they have been forced to wear a face mask on air. and so it's only a small percentage of women who can actually work right now. okay, and i had another question because i'm going to get in as many as i can. thank you . off of that one, judy kinsmen off. thank you for watching. judy, thanks for your question. a women being supported by men in afghanistan, are they being left out to dry? our men happy with willing having few rights watch mom who i think, you know, i don't want to embed into this battle of the genders. but i know that, you know, in a society when it, when already that the, the number of violence against women cases were and, you know, thousands and when the taliban, the 1st thing they, they bid for the courts. they said, a woman cannot complain against their husbands or men in the family to the any court. so, i scores, you know, it takes away and you know, it gives,
11:52 am
it gives them the patriarchy, a lot of rights to continue suppressing. so by then i want to also ask the question that, okay, so what is the solution? yes, i can sit here and for ever talk about all these challenges. but what, what, why this has happened? the worlds of the international community has a rule that they have played in destroy and up on a sun, they have responsibility for where we are this mess, and they are not doing what they should be doing rather than those photo ops and doha, which the u. s and add that, you know, diplomats are taking up pictures with the taliban and they think something is happy . you assigned a deal with the taliban now come in, deal with them make. make them actually, you know, i got right now. one is fun in a way that the people could actually breathe, at least, and their dad dictatorship right now, earlier my singular sent us this thought about how do you deal with the current situation. and it's about assets of people from afghanistan being frozen right now
11:53 am
. this is what the pseudo says should happen. next. the u. s. continues to freeze the afghan central banks reserves at a time of a huge economic and humanitarian crisis. in addition, 2 and a half $1000000000.00 of other monies continued to be frozen. that includes the money of ordinary afghans of companies and of ngo's. african families are dealing with record levels of hunger and poverty. 90 percent of afghans don't have enough to eat. half of them are surviving on one meal a day. and while famine was largely averted this winter, due to the support of donors contributing to a un fund, afghans are wondering what will happen next. the, i am just looking here when we talked about this, what happens next? let's be realistic about what's happening now. in afghanistan, food insecurity in afghanistan, this is come from the integrated food security phase classification report from may
11:54 am
of this year. 19000000 people acute food insecurity. 20000 people in catastrophe. oh, goodness, 6000000 people in emergency, 13000000 people in crises. so many levels of multiple crises. is the taliban set up to cope with this? watch my hand, they because they're saying if we just have the money, she let play that play, give us the money we can handle it. and i mean, let me just play the taliban. this is a little template as a give us the money. and we can handle it as i've listened to them. please, someone is in the world to give their most basic right, which is the right life. and that is through lifting the sanctions and i'm presenting our assets and also giving assistance after destroying life for 20 years . a, you know what the cigar says that and when the u. s. left of honest,
11:55 am
on $18000000000.00 worth of military equipments were left inside of funds. and from what we hear that a lot of this is being actually sold out in pakistan and other, you know, illegal markets. so the taliban are not actually broke right now. at the, in the past 10 months they have been receiving millions and millions of dollars actually in the heat. but the problem is governing, i think, the international community because they brought the pol upon on top of i want her son. and you know, i like literally on top of our heads. so now be held responsible to teach the toddler on how to govern. oh, we are not asking for another water on ted, and we saw how failed. you know, that was what we're asking is that at least there has to be some kind of, you know, it is a bra city in and negotiation with the taliban in a way that's more conditional that actually bring some results. and at the same time, make the taliban actually respond to the needs of the people in their put some sort
11:56 am
of, you know, and it sticks to what the taliban are actually promising because it's not about just the money. and by the way, for that, that's the money that's frozen, it's 15 percent off of ones be at one bank. so it's not, it's not going to go into the pocket of i have one people, it will go into the pockets of the toner, but i really urge yet please. lisa haka had cuz i really gauge of what we heard that which was what happens next. what will happen next, that from somebody from afghanistan, what will happen next saw, can you? yes, i understand what might happen next. yes. first of all is if they don't like for the group, for the total one person thank save lives and send me for a group that the tech arrives. the people who made our lives literally nightmare nightmare of all of on the stay. and they talk about saving lives, it's quite about what could be done,
11:57 am
the international community and the un, they're funding confusing messages to their world under the toner. one as well from one side they talk about, you know, they put all these and restrictions on the toner, bonner and pensions on the other side. they fly them, but private just to norway and other countries. mr. tony, this is a very mixed signal. and if a wrong one, and it's wrong for the people on the international community and be you and they should have they should work together to have one kind of message to tom once in a way that room and either make them responsible and accountable. or, you know, find other ways of dealing with them because life has been instructed enough cornerstone outside for one that is, i, i want to thank you all so much for helping us understand what is happening in
