is impacts like sea level rise, cause people to move further and further in learn pretty more more pressure on environmental resources for people fleeing the impacts of global warming. it's survival at all costs. this isn't my story. it's the story of my friend jesus. she told us that she didn't want to be here. she didn't want to live anymore, was too hard. a survivor dedicates her life to educating and saving others from suicide. we're the ones that are dying. we're the ones that are losing our friends and therefore we have to be the ones that will stand up and solve it because no one else is going to. where there is hope, a witness documentary on a just, ah, after talks with the taliban, the un top ranking, female official tells al jazeera, the women and girls of got a son,

cannot be abandon. the women are getting trodden on. they need to breathe. they need to come back, they need to have their rights and protected, and given back to them where they've been taken away. ah, you're watching, i was, is there a light from a headquarters in ohio, daddy? you navigate also ahead diplomatic tension between sweden, enter key or build off the far right leader is allowed to burn the koran and stock of hopes for political freedom. townsend, he has main opposition, holds its 1st rallies in the listing of bound impose and 2016 celebrations. begin across asia for the start of the lunar new year as they mark the year of the rabbit . ah, hello. the un deputy secretary general has told al jazeera,

the women and girls of dynasties cannot be abandoned. i mean, i'm how much has just returned from high level meetings with the taliban and couple, she says her delegation made some progress on women's rights, but much remains to be done earlier. my colleague volleyball both spoke to the deputy secretary general here in del home. specifically, has there been any progress made on the issue of women working for n jose and afghan women and girls being able to attend secondary school? yes, there has been some progress. some exemptions are being made to the edicts that have covered the health sector. and i think that's because the international community, and particularly the partners who have funding this, were able to show the implications and the impact of your women to women's services, particularly childbirth getting food across and very hashmi to conditions. not enough. that's just the very beginning. we've opened up a crack and we hope that through the reversals, we can eventually get to a stage where you neutralize those edicts and women

a back in school and girls. and of course in the workplace, i wanted to to, to find out more about your meetings with them as a woman and muslim woman, you were meeting with taliban along with the head of you when women see my boy hose . did you find that that made a difference having women in there to, to have that perhaps uncomfortable conversation for them about women's rights finishes? it was always very clear to me. i'm going in there as an opportunity to hear the voices of women of afghanistan. we heard this some young women who said to us, we don't need your voice senior to amplify ours when you get in there, since we don't have that opportunity. so going in the house, very focused on getting those messages across, getting into the room. it is always intimidating when you're facing people who do such things in this world as we don't accept. but i think, you know, focus on the issue and push it and we did and they didn't, in some cases, didn't accept it. and try to put you in your place,

but i think we were strong enough to push back. the reason i ask is, because very often there's been criticism that all too often foreign delegations send men only teams will reinforce the county bands. conservative views of the world was the decision to send you a muslim woman to lead this delegation on the basis of represent ition or likelihood of progress. no, i think you find yourself a muslim woman at the helm of affairs in the united nations. and it so happens that there's a delegation of work that you do in that. and the top that goes out there being a muslim woman, i think, was a plus for the international community. because i know that my religion doesn't teach or preach that we don't have a right to cation. i'm a products of education and the deputy secretary general, the united nation. so that in itself i think was important with the un recognize autonomy back eventually. i hope there's a day that we do recognize this government provided it is based on the principles

that they need to understand. they have to hold a part of the international family. but i do fear that what we are doing is having women and girls caught in the crossfire and it's really important. we don't do that . we heard the stories of many african women who because of this, i'm not able to see their children. this is this you the painful stories of women don't know where the next meal is coming from. there's a level of depression. i think no one has ever imagined in afghanistan. i've done but car bulky is a spokesman for the taliban ministry of foreign affairs and he says some and jews were trying to create what he called social change and i've gone on. but he says the taliban is allowing organizations to operate if they align with the nation values as the cardinal principal off. and your work is impartiality and neutrality to that and those in jose

who were really involved in humanitarian work. and we're committed to this principle and not interfering in the local customs and norms. they were given exemptions in some areas including health, they have resumed their work and we welcome that. as for those who are unable or unwilling to stick to this principle, they have only shown that perhaps this decision was the best interest of a son and india. and we will continue to prioritize the stability and security off of amazon. i mean, this idea that there's a ban on education is absolutely incorrect as part of a particular narrative and agenda that has been driven by some actors who again have taken hostage to you and in terms of helping the people of science

instead of working on areas and in a way that empowers the government to take the needed actions to help and provide the basic needs of atlanta son. and danish far right politician has burned a copy of the koran, the muslim holy book outside the turkish embassy and sweden capital stock home. russ most palo don holds both danish and swedish nationalities and was granted permission by the government to stage the raleigh. it prompted anchor to cancel a plan visit by sweden. defense minister turkey is a nato member and has held off on approving sweden's application to join the military alliance. it wants the government to crack down on groups anchor a seas security threat rewards either like alice roger tiger rhetoric. we've been following the process regarding this visit. as you are aware, we observed that they've been no reactions from the swedish administration

regarding those disgusting and mean actions against her kia and our president. at this point, the visit of swedish defense minister paul johnson to to kia on january the 27th has become meaningless. so we cancelled the visits or some cost of our glory. following developments from istanbul. all reactions by the turkish authorities say the same thing. they condemn this protest, and they accuse swedish authorities for giving permission to such, such an act that in their terms and courage, hate crime and is i'm a phobia in width and, and that's why the reactions from the turkey side, from the turkish politicians have in har so far and at a turkish foreign ministries, calling for it and, and other countries and the west to take necessary measures because for the, for on these kinds of process just provoke, different actions, different emotions in people. this is what they have set so far. of course,

the protests are not limited. with on burning, there have been protests targeting true care for the last capital creeks since finland and sweden are trying to be members of nato. and everything is packed to true kid approval. as a major member, things are critical. 3 countries signed as 3 way agreement that would finally allow these countries to be an 8 on members for these kinds of acts by sweden, or just violating the agreement, signed by the 3 to to you also have a list of 130 people that wants to be expedited from suite and enter your husband because in sweden for not taking the necessary measures and being committed to the agreement, crow built sweden's former prime minister. and he is now the co chair of the european council on foreign relations. and he says that sweden needs time to

facilitate the agreements that it had made with turkey. we do have an agreement, as was alluded to, made between turkey, sweden and finland to improve corporation on certain of these issues that has been done that been several fairly substantial meetings on this. and actions has also been taken in action is will be taken further. these are not entirely on complicated issues. this is a country where the rule of the law, but i think that has been the recognition also by the relevant turkish authorities that has been progress in this particular talk. then of course there are, i agree with that. there are sort of extreme, is the news running around. we want to sabotage the entire process, but they should not be given eco by the authorities and anchor, if the thought is an anchor. truly interested in coming to the agreement truly interesting, cooperating all these issues and truly interested to deal with, which is the question of the security deal. all of you are in all the 10 situation

. the conclusion of the last meeting, that was the own state statement, saying that that's been progress. but of course if we're talking about these particular issues, they are long term. i'm talking about of increased cooperation when it comes to fighting tears that is dependent upon all sorts of acquiring intelligence sharing intelligence, assessing that italian see what really holds. ready what doesn't, is not a political process, is a long term. it is a long term process of cooperating with the law enforcement bodies. and that is underway and that has been recognized by the thought. but it's not that there is one solution to it that happens one 1st, and then everything is ok for these issues. the ones that we are faced here, they are probably far more problematic in x number of other european countries in the united states that are in suite. but the relevance legal authorities rule of the law authorities must deal with in a spirit of confidence and cooperation. the u. s. is

designating russell's wagner group as an international criminal organization that will allow it to impose wider sanctions on the group. the white house says about 50000, wagner mercenaries are fighting in ukraine. my kind of reports from washington, d. c. a 3rd force and the ukraine conflict. soldiers from russia as bog. the group essentially hired mercenaries, many of them hired from russian prisons. the group is controlled by a guinea pig. oh, seen a close ally of letting me put in and this week featured in a video made by his own media service, visiting injured fighters in st. petersburg clinic. you must not petty a soldier, a war. you must take care of him. therefore, each soldier should be unique, with more than $50000.00 deployed in ukraine. the wagner group has been on the us rate, offer a number of months. and now it's been declared

and also professional criminals released from jail. that's what styling actually did as well. us has also accused north korea of arming the wagner group, displaying images of what it says are russian rail cause being loaded with north korea and weapons systems. potentially putting the group in a position where it could change battlefield dynamics and ukraine. something the u . s. clearly hopes it sanctions will help prevent mckenna, odyssey era. washington thompson, he has main opposition. party has held a rally for the 1st time since the gatherings are banned. nearly 7 years ago, the government lifted a ban earlier this month was composed by former president john mike. a fully in 2016. under the restrictions opposition. rallies were violently broken up by police and politicians were frequently jailed. the next presidential election in tanzania is due in 2025. i can declare you is

emma remaining boy and the cheapest one of the ruling pat. this is him who is also the president of sam. yes. so it's very good, it's the finding a new space bill. it was pacing the country whereby we'll have our, not completely a level playing field for politics, but an improved space where bay opposition political parties can actually mobilize organized campaign, especially as we are going to 2025 election. if we really want to have a really change, we need to, to walk on the constitution to the, for the constitution, especially the national electoral commission, how it's composed out operates so that we can ensure that we have our free and fair election whenever we have either local elections, or general elections still ahead on al jazeera, how low can it go? we take a closer look at lebanon's leader of the countries. economic crisis enters

because the local currency is nearly worthless. to shanice name of the law. we buy everything in dollars. our goods, our rent electricity. yes, we should price in the local currency, but it's not possible because it's value keeps fluctuating. trading is dominated by the black market exchange rate. it's hovering around $50000.00 lire to the dollar, causing even more economic difficulties for people already struggling to get by. but it's not the only rate. politicians and bankers are accused of creating a multiple exchange rate system to cover up losses in the billions of dollars solvency problem because their money public sector at the central bank government, the public, is unable to pay them back. they have this major gap and they are trying to shift it because it is through the hair cut. and how do they do their hair got through this multiple exchange rate system. it's known as the lawler, lebanese dollar,

doesn't have any more, any liquidity, because it's actually running losses of more than 60000000000 dollar. so there is no credibility to this new exchange rates, the political and business liter blame for failing to implement reforms in the financial sector. instead, they have been offering temporary solutions that really lebanese se benefit them and worse than a crisis that's now in its 4th year that they're elses ita, beirut, january 21, march 3 years. since the 1st case of coven, 1900, was reported in the united states. about 1100000 people in america have died from the illness while the country has made advances, fighting the virus, the number of deaths continues to rise. al jazeera gabriel is on their reports from new york. for angela praia. it's a never ending nightmare. in april, 2020,
