a un security council waiver allowing afghan taliban officials to travel abroad has expired. they've been subject to a travel band since 2011, but 13 taliban officials had been granted an exception. so they could attend peace talks. some security council members wanted removed our to the group to power by force last year. they could vote again on monday on an amended waiver for just 6 taliban officials. kristen pseudo me has more from un headquarters in new york sanctions against the taliban, including travel restrictions have long been a thorny issue for the security council. they were 1st imposed back in 1999 related to the groups sheltering of al qaeda. the council made exceptions in 2019 to allow some members to travel outside of the country for peace talks. but since the group took control of afghanistan last year, some council members have argued the waiver should be conditional on the taliban respect for human rights,

particularly the rights of women and girls. the un stepping spokesperson for the secretary general summed up the dilemma. some of the members of the council appointed to the benefits of allowing them to go about a travel for diplomatic work, including for example, to the doha, you will have seen what the contribution of the, of the process ad doha has, has made in terms of the wider dealings with the taliban at the same time we've clearly expressed our concerns about at the dollar, bonds own records and, and their failure in, in recent months to, to uphold out their stated commitments to maintain the status quo on human rights, including in particular the rights of women and girls, china back by russia has argued that the waivers are as necessary as ever given the dire economic situation that afghanistan finds itself in. but diplomats tell us that other countries have been pushing back led by ireland. they want to re impose

travel restrictions, at least in part was kristen just mentioned. it's been a year since the taliban sees control of of janice done. many women are still banned from taking jobs or getting an education. women are allowed to move around in cities, but in rural areas, strict rules and cultural practices. many at home are some of bon jovi, reports from couple thrift is business is nearly come to a hold. earning a living from making tradition of clothes and handed cross is no longer an option. since many small businesses have gone bankrupt. in addition to sanctions and frozen assets, the thought abounds, reversal of bremond sport dissipation and society has further hindered the flow of age to understand fresh. they're struggling to keep up morale for her 7 children whose education has suffered for years. first, because of the pandemic, and then the taliban take over dna and sancha that care. it's been one year that they have been promising and haven't done any thing. we haven't seen any results.

girls can't go to schools and women can go to their jobs. raymond, in cities complained of harsh restrictions from face feels to women's attire and suspension of many public jobs that are live on government says it is implementing is lamar law. the ministry of. 5 vice and virtue has replaced the ministry of veterans affairs. there are some them and who've been appointed by the founder, been who don't think it's just tokenism of them on amazon. i'm amazon. i am saying that women can't go around the city or do their jobs freely, isn't to accurate. i still have female staff working at this hospital, female doctor the doing their jobs as in the previous government. besides, doctors, other female personnel are also working in some government departments. 3 quarters of bonds live outside the cities and most of rural iowa. nathan is traditionally conservative. that's where the dollar bonds biggest support base comes from neil for is a teacher. and despite her brothers being unemployed in this government,

she supports the taliban. i'll, she says the majority of women in a blend of san we're what she calls the he job in their own rig. and that's enough gone tradition. well, to fall upon rule in, wouldn't most women from of land stand look at you and hair you and think that you've been brainwashed. and this is not what most women of afghanistan want each other yet that they believe should an army panella. you know, we aren't brain washed, i teach the koran islamist given rights to women like inheritance, education to become a professor and anything they want to be. if we go without the he job, it's against the crohn. and if we have muslims should follow that cron. balaban officials have been accused of using excessive force. men, women protest. they in turn want bremond to organized protest after seeking permission. and they also site safety and security is concerned. but to achieve that, most women of afghanistan will have to trust the taliban. and that's unlikely.

500000 tons of grain have already been exported from here since a landmark deal was truck between russia and ukraine with the help of the united nations and turkey last month. and this is the place where, until tanya would terrorist visit to guarantee and to monitor how this whole process is ongoing. he said that access to food and fertilizers must be guaranteed access to russian fertilizers, but also for training. and for what he says, that's much more needs to be done. and that he hoped that the amount of food that is being exported from ukraine will increase from $3000000.00 tons a month to around $5000000.00 tons a month. another issue of major concern that's happening here is the situation around the nuclear power plant of a sub 40 show back in march. russia took over that area, established a military base, and there's been lots of fighting in shelling going on around that area. there's

a lot of concern that the plant could be damage and that's why the international community has been demanding that international monitors are able to visit. that part of the country. also ukrainian state nuclear company announced that russia was getting ready to unhook the plant from ukraine's grid, and tanya would carry denounces, and this is what he had to say. what is true is that the fees did you set eyes as we propose the plan? the problem will be solved and obviously the electricity from zip codes here is ukrainian directory city. and it's necessary, especially during the winter ford of ukrainian people. and these people must be fully respected. so there has been a big debate about how visit by international inspectors should happen while russia saying that it should happen to russian. so ukrainians at the united nations are

saying that it could happen through ukraine, even though it could mean going through the front lines. doing a telephone conversation between french president im on with my grown and a rush as president value me to put in be agreed of a need for a v inspector to visit the plan and even a precedent bloody me to pull being said that he was going to reconsider whether he would agree or not, that to change his his mind and that the inspectors would go through ukraine. mexico's former attorney general. hey, so's maria has been arrested on charges linked to an investigation. inter 43 students who went missing in 2014. maria led the original inquiry, which was highly criticized, is facing allegations of being involved on the torture and forced disappearances of suspects. as well as the obstruction of justice. it was international outrage when the students disappeared in the southwest in the city of guar. still had an al jazeera miramar struggling economy is leaving people short of food and electricity

so bursts of rain to come for cobble the hive 27 degrees on saturday for turkey. it's looking like this, i think. yeah. okay. shower is around that black sea coast. maybe even seen them sneak into is stumble at times as well. after central africa we go and we're seeing the rain pick up toward western areas of the democratic republic of congo, raid up into bungie as wildly take it to the south. because we got this vigorous weather system moving in to the eastern cape province qua sewland at tall. this is really going to pick up those winds across the eastern cape, co sign. so i think for example, in port elizabeth, we're going to look for maximum wind gusts of about 90 kilometers per hour. so that could certainly cause damage. also seen those winds pick up in durban, m r pato as well with some cooler air shuffling in. we'll see soon, hatta air with issue airline of the journey. talk to al jazeera. we ask for the rebound, you speak of his really come you get a high cost for airlines and the industry, what's going wrong. we listen you,

arrested on charges linked to the investigation into 43 students who went missing in 2014. his this, maria led the highly politicized inquiry. he's now facing allegations of being involved in the torture enforced disappearances of suspects as well as obstruction of justice. a you and way about a loving afghan taliban officials to travel abroad has expired because the security council couldn't agree whether it should continue. taliban officials would be subject to a trouble by instance 2011, but an exception was granted to 13 of them, so they could attend piece talk. only i spoke to almost some up. he's the former afghan and basset to france and canada. i asked him about the impact to be expired waiver will have to wait a little bit to see what the final decision is going to be from what we see so far. the deadline has expired and the, the nation with the under the u. n. s. c, security council,

they are going to have to find a formula that works because this decision needs the consensus vote, which means that they have to all agree on what to do with the ton of on travel band. whether to leave it as it is to reduce it to limited or to totally do away with it. so i think you have not only an issue that has to do with a garrison the telephone and whether they can travel or not. and how many people can trouble, but you also have issues that are being raised between the great powers and between countries around the table who are taking site that one way or the other. if you haven't been able to find the right solution so far, how important is it from members of the taliban to be able to travel in order to hold an negotiations and carry out other diplomatic efforts?

well, if you have to turn it on, obviously they will tell you that it's important because they have to go to certain capitals and putting. ready ha, for example, and discuss issues with our diplomats, whether they have to do with human rights, women's rights for the girls school band that has to do with the way afghanistan is going to be governed in the counter terrorism issues. so i think for the top one is important for the other countries. we, what we do see is or nuances. i mean, you have china and russia for example, who are pushing for a continuation of the exemption and even extend to the thing that extended to other countries. but you have others who have other ideas about this and those who actually at this point would. ready like to have a full travel power back on because they feel that we have not come through

with some of the commitments that made more than a year ago before the fall of hobble into would the removal of the ban. do you think, encourage the taliban to change it stance with regards to a women's rights within afghanistan? i hope that it does. i hope that it sends the right messages. i hope that it doesn't create a backlash. i hope it doesn't become a contentious issue that then is entrenched and i hope that all sites will use. ready goodwill and the get the message, the talk about have several messages that they need to understand that has to do that have to do with the go school band that has to do with how women are treated as that have to do with counter terrorism. and many other issues, on the other hand, the international community in those countries will care about the african people

in the future of the country need to realize that there is a certain level of engagement that is needed. and there's a certain level of discussion with the time to bond that is needed for. ready a variety of reasons, so i hope that they can find the right solution by monday and it's listen. aguilar have arrested a catholic, bishop known for his criticism of president daniel ortega, rolando valez as being detained at his home in the capital managua. as a latin america editor, the scene newman reports, it's part of a wider government cracked on on dissent among members of the catholic clergy. for the last 16 days, mcgraw was police had prevented much the gallop as bishop landel albert is from leaving his residence. not even to preside over mass 0, but a always the road in front of our diocese is closed and blocked by the national police long. but that was not the end of it. before dawn, friday, police raided the bishop's residence, detained, laid priests and staff,
