12:01 am
city of buck look paying tribute to troops that have engaged in the conflicts fiercest fighting in recent argentina holds a massive brain through the pac streets of when, as i was in honor of their world cup winning team, american football team receives a huge welcome in robot after making history in class. ah, a warm welcome to our our of news. we begin in afghanistan, where the taliban administration has moved to restrict women's access to education even further. on tuesday, the education ministry announced that access to universities has been suspended immediately for female students. a lesser was sent to all public and private universities, instructing them not to allow female students to enter until further notice. the move is in accord, so the cabinet decision. well,
12:02 am
it's raised concerns in the international community. foreign governments, including the u. s. have said that a change in policies on women's education is needed before it can consider formerly recognizing the taliban government. she's also subject to heavy sanctions. was shortly after the taliban made that announcement, the united nations condemned the move. it's clearly another broken promise from the job we have seen since there take over and also in the past months, just a lessening of the space for women. not only in education, but access to public areas, their non participation in the public debate. it's another very troubling, troubling move. and it's, it's difficult to imagine how a country can develop. oh, could deal with all of its the challenges that it has without the active
12:03 am
participation of women and the education. well that decision was confirmed just after the taliban released to us prisoners in what was called a quote good will gesture, state department support personnel. price of the irony of the time was not lost on u. s. officials whilst condemning the suspension. i. armand, we sent him south in women to a darker and more barren future without opportunity. no country can thrive. one half of its population is arbitrarily held that education is an internationally recognized human right. and it is essential to afghanistan's economic growth and stability. this unexpected, unacceptable stance will have significant consequences for the telephone and will further alienate the taliban from the internet community and deny them legitimacy they desire. well, our diplomatic edison james base joins us live from the u. n. hi there, james, that tell us a bit more about the reaction that this been from the un. well,
12:04 am
i think many people are commenting on the timing. yes, you got those us prisoners released. then you got the taliban making this announcement, but making this announcement out of cobble after 9 o'clock at night seems very late to make this announcement until you realize the announcement came just as the un security council was meeting on afghanistan. a meeting only takes place every 3 months and diplomats believe that this was very deliberately timed. an act perhaps of defiance towards the un security council, which all of its members have condemned the of the lack of girls education in secondary schools. and now this has been extended to female students in the university. in the news of this emerged, as the council had been meeting had been meeting for some time. one of those was a civil society activists and women's rights activist who had been addressing the security council. she'd already given her speech. when then she saw this news,
12:05 am
she told me about it. every single brenda was pressure on the taliban blessing also done or you haven't done this or this is not done enough in the canada and baby. can you make it harder on the women? so the women have janice on actually have become as i said, you know, be done for them. they don't, they don't really exist. they're not human beings. they are, i don't know what they are. they don't consider them as you know, they just, they just are using, continuing for the way they think then. and then you think kind of erased the woman from the, from the society of work from education, from everything from black. there are different views on the security council on how to deal with the taliban. how much to isolate them, how much to engage them. clearly, there are some countries that have better relations with the taliban than others.
12:06 am
for example, a pakistan and china talk to the town about a fair bit, but i can tell you, i spoke to both the pakistan ambassador and to the chinese ambassador. and they were pretty shocked by this news and said it was a very negative development. james, just following on from that, what will power does the un and the international community, the larger international community have to engage differently with the taliban to secure some of these high one rates for women and girls. i think the problem is they have virtually no leverage at all or what, what the, the only leverage they probably have is the money that's going to try and help the humanitarian situation in afghanistan, which the security council was told. it's not getting any better. it's really, really desperate, and clearly you can't start taking away the food that is feeding so many afghans. and that's really the only leverage the international community has over the taliban at a stage. james base, they are joining us live with the latest from the u. n. james, thank you. well,
12:07 am
over dealer, the here is a university lecture and the founder of the campaign. let afghan girls learn. he says that the decision is a huge setback for women across the country. is a recurring nightmare recurring nightmare stretching over generations. the same 990 s over this is august 15th again, this is march 23rd. when they ban girls from going to high school over again, we use something like this was going to happen almost 2 months ago. there were rumors going around and rumors that had a lot of verification to it and authenticity to it that something like this was going to happen, which is why we did our campaign and kept going with our campaign. and the point was to show the tyler bon show the world that there were going to be repercussions
12:08 am
for such a bad to happen. but honestly, it's just, i wish i was wrong. i wish we were all wrong. and we've been sleep walking through the day and waiting for it to sink in. so we can at least figure out what to do next. and the problem isn't that this is a temporary done or a change in conditions going to occur because this excuse has been running since the ninety's. the reason women are banned from parks, from, from schools, from a public bots, from jim's, even when they're segregated, is always some or another logistical excuse. and time is asked for and seems like the more time we give them the worst things get. i mean, i was put into shackles a few days ago. busy told that my crime was campaigning for girls education. and the reason was that they were very soon going to resolve it. that's what the
12:09 am
authorities were telling me then. and look, even those people didn't know what was going to come next. and so, i mean, yeah it's, it's time to re evaluate what we've been doing. it looks like every move done by the international community towards the pilot. one has only a piece, them only embolden them. and it's, it's time to discuss difficult options for all of us. ukrainian president, florida me. lansky has paid a visit to the eastern front line city of buck mode and presented awards to ukrainian soldiers. but has witnessed some of the heavy fighting against russian troops and is now considered to be the conflicts at peace enter local sources until lounger 0. the russian forces and fighters from the wagner group of lost some of their positions on the southern side of the city. control of buckling, we give the kremlin a boost in their battle for the dumbass region that ukraine have held onto it while
12:10 am
russia is believe to be relying on mercenaries, prison conscripts and newly mobilized soldiers in staging. relentless attacks. yeah . which is because of the show move on the budget. i want to say that we see what remains of where they left. nothing is alive with this issue isn't just in the don bus. that is why i want to tell you here in don bus, you protect the whole of you crying because after dawn bus, they will do all this and other cities of our country because they don't want anything ukrainian. i am 100 percent sure of that. and therefore, the protection of the whole of ukraine realize on your shoulders, not just on bus one, o towel. stratford is in the key region and has more on the impacts of recent russian attacks on energy infrastructure. this is one of more than a 100 electric substations country wide across ukraine. and as you can see, the level of destruction here, this particular substation has been hit in 3 separate attacks by 6 russian missiles
12:11 am
. the software tell us that this electrical plant supplies around 600000 people with electricity, those people now having to undergo and ensure rolling blackouts as this sub station tries to distribute as much power as it can obviously after these attacks. what so interesting though, is that this, like many of those substations was built during the soviet era, this particular one in 1958. and that means that the russians know pretty much exactly how this grid works. and incredibly, it was only 4 hours before the invasion that the ukrainians, disconnected from the russian and bella, russian, electrical systems was like the man, see the july was the where we all feel like we're on the 1st line of energy defense . all ukrainians are looking at us with hope that we can return light and heat into their homes. with our teams are working round the clock,
12:12 am
ignoring the freezing conditions. so much equipment has been destroyed and our company doesn't have enough spare parts to restore electricity to all civilians, all the time. ukraine's president vladimir zalinski on december, the 13th said, restoring the country's progress could cost more than $1500000000.00. damage then meant a shortfall of 2.5 gigawatts. so that was before 2 more massive drone and missile bombardments targeted the country's energy infrastructure. as an example of just how well russia knows this electrical grid system. this was an electrical transformer and it's taken a direct hit. the staff here tell us that it contained 60 tons of oil and the blaze after the bloss, they say, took around 5 hours to close out the sub station. and more than a 100 like it across the country are on constant alert. there could be an attack at
12:13 am
any time, the estimated cost of repairing the damage. here, the staff tell us could be tens of millions of dollars. and this is just one of what the ukranian authorities say is around a 1000 kamikaze drone and missile attacks against vital infrastructure stations like this across the country. just as president has called on his security services to search for spies and foreign intelligence services. and if the a statement that a me, a person also as russian authorities to protect the boy is an exterior in ukraine, delaney ordinary bizarre bus. mr. gregory, naturally d stood especially i would like to mention the units of the security agencies that started operating in the new russian regions. then yes, it's difficult for you now. the situation in the de nets can do hunts people's republics in the curtains. the parisha regions is extremely difficult, but the people living there you, the citizens of russia rely on you and your protection. and it's your duty to do
12:14 am

12:17 am
but also the families. and this is what so magical about this moment. it is something that has united people that has brought in young and old, and i saw in the streets early on an old, old grandparents with their grandchildren, families, women, children, all united to celebrate this team that has brought so many people joy and nurses. here in morocco, in senegal, where i'm based in, across africa, the arab world, and also among the diaspora in my home town. in my say, there was a lot of celebration, a lot of people watching the event unfold. it is, there is a sense that this is history in the making. earlier we met someone who came all the way from holland moroccan, a dutch moroccan who came here to witness this event with his children. the moroccan team has no figure like leon l. missy was really a collective effort and it felt like the whole country was playing on the field.
12:18 am
and waltz were very far away from cutter. it felt that cutoff was here during the games that we watch, a witness with the fans here. and, and there is this sense now after a morocco going all the way to the semi finals that anything is possible. the actually an african 100 arab team can win this world cup. it is possible why not. some of these players evolve in, in, in, in the premiership in, on the f, the, the, the english cobb, the, the spanish leagues of the french league. what has really changed the real difference in element here is the coach. while lead regret, who is the 1st time that we see an african coach go so far leads such a team. and so this is something that's worth celebrating in morocco, in their celebrations, will continue in the days to come. there have been messages of support for t french players after they were racially abused online after sundays defeat. both kings, the common and orally and shoe are many i missed penalties in the shoe sat during

12:20 am
richard kimber has more from hong kong. well, initially the hope was that things were very much get back to normal, that manufacturing and global supply chains. we get back on track international investors started pouring money into the chinese stock market just hours after these relaxation announcements were made. but now the world bank and many international banks have started fairly, aggressively scaling back their forecasts. what they think is possible for china, not just that this year, but also for next year, speaking to employers or over the phone yesterday, based on the mail. and i was told that there are multiple cases of coded 19 on almost every country that everybody was speaking to. and that's affecting hiring, it's affecting long term planning, and it's affecting those very same supply chains that the international world. we're hoping we're going to get back on track. and so basically, the expectations from the international economic will that china's growth story next year is going to be very much hampered by what's expected to be a long drawn out recovery period. as it transitions out of this 0 covert policy, we're looking not at growth levels at 567 percent as had been projected earlier on
12:21 am
last year, but now much closer to 34 percent. those kinds of levels because of the length of time it's expected. this transition period could take a turn. his health authorities have been reporting around $2500.00 cases per day since the relaxations were introduced. they reported 7 deaths since that time as well. but international health experts are looking at this data and they're trying to make up projections based on what's happened elsewhere and look at the size, the chinese population, and try to figure out if these kinds of numbers can make sense. the u. s. supreme court has extended a controversial champ era immigration policy, which restricts asylum claims, the rule known as title $42.00 is imposed in 2020. it allows the government is covered 19 protocols to block migrants and she on the border with mexico. the high court decision fall as a legal challenge by republican lead states. he continued the measures which were meant to end on wednesday. how did yo castro joins his live now from el paso texas
12:22 am
. hi there, heidi, what is the situation currently on the florida? julie here in an elk house, so there are so many migrants who have been arriving after being processed by us border patrol agents after they turned themselves in. and you can see people because in the shelters around town are completely full. so we have people from venezuela, from the got out who are, who are essentially camping out on the streets for a lack of a place to seek protection and temperatures that sometimes dip below freezing overnight. we have people who are sleeping here outside of the bus terminal here in el paso. and we do have the community showing up as well, donating bags of bread toys to entertain some of the children. all of this happening because there has been a tremendous surge in my grins and asylum seekers who have come to this border with mexico hoping for a chance to be allowed into the us. these people count themselves lucky in that
12:23 am
they got passed border patrol. they have a silent cases, mostly some of them pending, but they are only about 50 percent of all who tried the rest, remain in mexico. and there had been hope that by midnight this evening, it would be easier for everyone to come across because that is when this pandemic era policy was supposed to expire about would have opened the borders a little bit more. however, the u. s. supreme court interviewed him yesterday saying that policy will stay in place for now. why did it do so? well, republican lead states like the governor of texas, where we are now. they said without that policy, there would be an additional tidal wave of migrant who try to come across the border and they said they would be overwhelmed. and indeed there has been record breaking number of people trying to get to the us. we in political persecution or gain violence in latin america more than 2000000 people attempting to come to the u
12:24 am
. s. just this past year alone. and heidi, what was the response from the biden's administration? yeah, they're really under fire over this. the white house has said that it is asking the u. s. congress to intervene by getting more money. there is legislation pending in congress hoping to get some $3500000000.00 approved or more order management asset. we want are 23000 federal agents who are already working the border. and then we have the states that are trying to deploy acids themselves and in some frightening manner for some of the families that have been crossing because many are encountering now. you as soldiers, as their 1st point of contact with us authorities, some 400 us national guard members arriving here in el paso. yesterday. they're now sounding bull horn,
12:25 am
trying to shout across the river that divide the us and mexico for those migrants to not try to come help or the desperation that's pushing them north toward the us remains as strong as ever hassle. joining us there from el paso in texas, i thank you. nurses in the u. k. has stays a 2nd unprecedented strike amid and increasingly acrimonious fight with the government for best to pay and conditions of $200000.00 nurses have taken part and they're demanding salary increases of up to 19 percent to make up for inflation and years of cost. cussing joan whole explain the royal college of nursing, the nurses union used to be avowedly anti strike action. oh, not any more its members now here they have no choice. i think it pays is what it is basically even time inflation. you can see that you pay that he'd be facing. i
12:26 am
would the cost of living for another out with i had a question about doing extra shift bank calling to make ends meet by the end a because it would be doing a lot. it wasn't long ago that nurses were applauded on doorsteps up and down the country for their work saving lives during the pandemic. now they're quitting in record numbers i because clapping as they chant doesn't pay the rent. and nor does the 4 percent pay rise currently on the table. the nurse is demanding substantially more as much as 19 percent to make up. they say for years of low pay that's failed to keep up with inflation. the government says the money just isn't there to give the nurses what they want, as well as giving the national health service what it needs to survive. you can't have one without the other than to say. and unless the government engages in people in the coming days, they want more of this in the new i think it will just come to
12:27 am
a point where it's an existential threat. our shortages and the collect from around me and i trust is an existential feature. and i check we all now committed to fort, not just the basic plan, our pocket butler sustainable in a chest where people can afford to live or work in a capital city like london opinion polls suggest the public or on the nurses side. oh, hooting their support, despite the inevitable disruption being caused to nurture patient care, and that's uncomfortable for the government determined not to give in to striking workers are increasingly being blamed for bringing the national health service to the verge of collapse. joe, the whole al jazeera lumber still to come here on al jazeera, feeling a forgotten and let down. why many peruvians blame the government for the countries?
