4:02 pm
coordinating the rescue effort us tomorrow. hi to join us from islamabad. what can you tell us about what's happening and what's being done right now? come on the way right now, a cop judge of the army aviation are trying to sing the address keywords as close as possible or did that cable call, which are now at the 9 good because of the to get both that snap uh, not, not, but to have uh, basically broken off, but particularly positively from the police, which i suppose to part of that uh uh, canada is no, it is important or is there to know that it is windy conditions, the helicopter need to be stable in order to be able to winch those people down for the rescue effort, however, that being hampered by high rains and the fact that there is another k bartley which is about 30 feet above the helicopter,
4:03 pm
which prevents the above that scattered. so the way to prevent that lake up to from coming low in order to be able to do a more accurate operation. so indeed, a delicate, dangerous operation. and now the, we are heading that the head of the mando. you'll notice that the dates that lead focus on the structure of the mando unit, they come on new office, started on the side. that was so talking of positively carrying on into the night. it really be dogs within the next one. our head and focused on that of god is good for the serious problem. also, the fact that rather and do that, you guys can change rapidly. so all everybody have will be praying that everything goes smoothly, but indeed a dangerous operation. indeed, and trying to rescue these children to walk, stuck on the carriage, come out to i want to bounce off a point that you just made. it's it's 6 pm right now. in case we're booked on the
4:04 pm
course of the sun is going to set and very soon they're gonna have to be doing this in the dark. is that possible? has there been any communication on what can happen once there's no more lights of the way that is going to be the biggest challenge because like i said, i look up there operations are not a lot of dr. dogs and it's mountainous region. this is a, a treacherous fit in the mountains on both sides. the cable guard is dangling over a river. no farther is down below it, so that of course is going to add to the complications. however, there will be one last minute, a 10 before doc. oh, well, how that goes out because as i mentioned to you earlier, the rescue is being hampered by waynes which pick up in that narrow riley. and also the fact that the weather can change. and of course not to mention. as you mentioned, your set of, uh, once in dog, it really be very challenging that really needs pressure light,
4:05 pm
perhaps 5 saving knights, bridge and equipment in order to carry on the stretch queue effort to mount height or they are reporting from it some about if there are any major developments do let us know you'll keep a surprise. thank you very much tomorrow. and so come all did mentioned the weather is also a factor here. so let's bring in whether present to jeff harrington. it was joined us in the studio. what can you tell us about weather conditions at that precise location to what you know, winds are the big factor here so, so i was just checking gus right now 25 to 35 kilometers per hour. so when like that is enough to sway the cable car. now we know this is about 300 meters above the ground, right? so undoubtedly for those 8 people trapped inside that cable car, a little bit of a sway must be terrifying. so we didn't really, really the big factor here. now, that's the bad news. the good news is the monsoon rains across focused on have actually backed off. could you imagine these pictures that we're looking at right now? if that was an intense rain, storm,
4:06 pm
and rescue crews were up against that. so that is the one thing working on the side . that said there is the risk of thunderstorms in this area tomorrow. and any time there's thunderstorms, the winds can pick up without just notice. and when we talk about wind gusts, these are verse of wind and it doesn't mean it sustained rate through. so every now and then you'll get a gas about 30 kilometers per hour. again, another display that cable car been on is that something we're going to see what over the next few hours? yes, it's going to persist. absolutely. and come all also mentioned that this is a mountainous area. so conditions can really rapidly change. this is something that we have to keep an eye on. so the wind is a bad news right now, but the good news is at least the conditions are calm. there's no rain in the area at this moment. okay, that's all really valuable information at this point. jeff harrington, thank you so much for joining us. you're welcome. now the african union has suspended new share from all activities. and it's urging all countries to refrain
4:07 pm
from giving any legitimacy to its cool leaders. it is nearly a month since the military deposed democratically elected president mohammed by zoom. a you is also warning against any interference in african security affairs by any outside or is including mercenaries in private military companies. it's good morning. this from address was live in the nigerian capital boucher. i'm it. how significant is this? because the share has already been under sanction from the regional block equal was and now they're being completely cut off from the african union. i know it has several implications. festival major officially ease isolated diplomatically, and it can only because i mean countries who have signed the say you talked to about to sort of respect any of the sanctions imposed by the african union. that means more troubles for it. and is your already the sun shifting post by the kind of communities your west african states that include closing of voters,
4:08 pm
stopping important exports into the concrete cutting of financial. then you cannot make supplies to the countries is biting very, very hard at the moment. but again, countries bike a judy, a motor tenure in particular, who have been warning against ad are taking unrestrained measures like immediate mix. envision in that country. if they have a full spite, a you to take action to close up their borders. that will cause strict new just access to external support, external supplies, like food and medicines, already we understand, we know that uh, but as soon as possible. and molly, i really haven't put strings yet. but if these are all you say you resolutions, he's been enforced, then that wouldn't be more trouble. but again, if you look at the you resolutions, they're talking about the review of all functions. part of the review of the african started by force with separate concern by force. now,
4:09 pm
i always wanted to go to this year. if i the endorse, they already stated that they are against any been 3 action. but if they induce this done by force, it could be more trouble for and yet, so basically we have why we all have started. it's a stalemate manager as reporting from a booge. i thank you very much and they had a port type parties for us. that's how we see and it will become plans new prime minister, earlier on tuesday for a prime minister text and shinall was returned home and was immediately sentenced to serve 8 years in prison. tony st. reports from bangkok, a tex interested in what emerges on to tale soil for the 1st time in 15 years. the 1st order of business to lay a flooring offering and to kneel, ingratitude before an image of the king. then waves and smiles flanked by his children. he drank in the name of a quick handshake with friends and supporters to minutes of freedom. the whole
4:10 pm
thing was the way that's a concern about his them back inside the terminal. to me, the police it is to pull to is a still out there and, and find boys that come out in the thousands to welcome and i'm the role this time . besides, i guess i am very happy. i have always wanted to see him coming home like yours may be, the country would be better. now do you come here today and we are very happy. why? because he comes back to todd involuntarily. even if he has to go to prison, die. and that was exactly where the former prime minister was head of his crowd to support his way to the outside. the supreme court texan was driven inside 3 guilty verdicts in his absence is to be so. and then, as most pulses challenged outside, he was driven into plum prim, central prism discount and sentence. but how long will the spend? and so many think a deal has already been done for an early release. testing might have made some
4:11 pm
sort of agreement in order for him to be coming back. and in order for him to, to sort of bring some of the issues away from the parliament and from the court. which in those issues include the formation of a new government and finding a new prime minister, the debate that was taking place in parliament across town of the several months of stalemate, texans political allies. prototype, say they formed a ruling coalition with votes coming into the normally it was clear the ministry bank sent it to my approve top. so that's how it's how we send a property. developing tycoon confirmed thailand's new prime minister, the techs and should walk from his jail, so may still be pulling the strings. tony chose a 0 thing called earlier i spoke with, nope, i don't put down a member of parliament for the ruling port type party. i asked him what role he expects the tax and will be playing and type politics. now that he's back in the country,
4:12 pm
i think you know around to be inactive collisions because he can not do it under present law because a title are probably bits of him from the ferrying of from managing the political party and prisons all of thailand. so he might, if you need some advice, you might, uh, uh, some advice from him. but normally he will not get involved inside politics because of the law projects him from doing so. to see you could be a source of inspiration. you could be an adviser to his daughter to pass on time by so you cannot get involved no day to day management of the type of thing. okay, let's talk about
4:13 pm
a plus i a little bit more broadly before the elections. but when i said that they would not join military back parties, now your party is in a coalition with 3 of them. how do you expect that that will go down with voters? yeah. all of these vision to form the government has been, has been criticized bye bye bye or support to us and by political opponents as well. we understand that, but we cannot form the government. we move forward by to because to be can not converse or secure. you're not thoughts, free, 75 points from both the senate and the house of representatives and, and keep it basically. so deadlock, what ties trying to do is to, to, to move the country forward by having a very strong government. so we have be left, we've been a leader choice,
4:14 pm
but we have to defy as a parting thoughts from from other political parties. we understand that and b, b, b, accept that. we may not follow what we have done during compare, but is out of necessity. not of political luxury and there's plenty morehead on this news. our ukrainian drones targeted the outskirts of the russian capital briefly, shutting airports for 4th nights will also be reporting from zimbabwe, where political parties have ended their campaign rallies are headed. wednesday's presidential election and in sports, a new sprint star emerges from the pac at the world championships in hungry. and they will be here with that story later. so the, we are getting some breaking news now from greece. firefighters have found the

4:27 pm
mostly silent so far today. uh, we saw some footage on being tired of people expressing that discontent and rumbling while on the plane. of course, people are unhappy with the closure of the efforts and most current flight delays, but apparently they refused to realize that they are also participants in this conflict. what are they like to know to the closure lat pull to the necessary measure to prevent the worst case scenario. as trends of course, oppose a grave danger to plains and civilians. a tropical storm is threatening flooding in the caribbean. jeff harrington is back with a check of the forecast to this. daniel is bracing for a tropical storm franklin to make line fall that will happen on wednesday. so here's the forecast on tuesday that land fall. by the way, it looks to be just to the west of dominican republic, capital santo domingo, looking to pick up a months worth of rain in under 24 hours. same goes for haiti. this will be bad for you too. it's capital port print, same goes for you. months worth of rain in under 24 hours. then we've got this
4:28 pm
tropical disturbance slamming into the south, west coast of texas ne mexico. that too is likely to trigger some flooding. things are slowly beginning to dry off across the us desert, southwest after tropical storm, hillary. but it's injected a lot of moisture into the atmosphere that's traveling northward through oregon, montana that weather also point into canada. so this should help drop a bit of rain on the wildfire burning in west cologne and british columbia. storms firing up through the upper midwest that eventually that energy eventually moves into the great lakes. these will be violent storms, top end of south america. there's tropical storm franklin, again striking a lot of moisture from the pacific right across panama. and then we've got somebody of an atmospheric river setting up here. so a stream of rain off the pacific for chillies, capital santiago, lot of rain coming for you. still a head on elza 0, we'll be hearing how much bail money donald trump will have to pay when he

4:31 pm
such as having seen will become thailand's new prime minister. earlier on tuesday, former prime minister text and shinall was returned home and was immediately sentenced to serve 8 years in prison. the african union has suspended new share from all activities and is urging all countries to refrain from giving any legitimacy to cool leaders. it's nearly a month since the military deposed a democratically elected president mohammed by the president of south africa. it says that he shares views with china on the expansion of the bricks. group of countries several around a pose, a greeted chinese president choosing paying for the brick summit in johannesburg. leaders from brazil and india are also discussing expansion of the alliance. it already accounts for 40 percent of the world's population and a quarter of the world's g. d. p, well, so me to millers in johannesburg, simulate what we'll want to know what we can expect from this meeting. i know you have a guess,
4:32 pm
so you have the flu. the thanks to 0. well, you've mentioned the expansion and that really is one of the key issues that will continue to be discussed at the summit. we do know discussions and negotiations around that began many months ago and as an entirely be consensus. but hearing from the rich representative, the solve african bridge representative to shut off 2 bricks. he has said to back the end about individual shoppers of these countries are putting together reports and recommendations. and these will be put forward to the foreign ministers of member states. and it's likely that they'll be some sort of outcome, or at least some sort of statement made towards the end of the summer taking place . but to give us a better idea of what the considerations might be, what the criteria is, who might make it, and who might not. were speaking to a gustavo at the come video, he's from the south african institute of international affairs. no, gustavo, the hasn't been consensus around who might make it into brakes. there. existing 5
4:33 pm
members at least 23. have a whole many applied to be members at this point. what is it that the brakes countries might be looking for in terms of what they might admit? i think at this stage, the most important aspects of the discussions is to understand what really the criteria is. but also, how long is it gonna take? what is the process going to be, but particularly what impacts that is going to have on the existing structure of rigs? much of the expectations that not any or many countries would be a point to the, to, to join groups at this stage. but particularly what we are a boy more hearing with policy makers from different countries is every may have some kind of an announcement that describes the process. imbedding itself is very important because it gives to all of the countries that are applying, but also to exist the members a much better spend 2 terms of what rex is going to be in a couple of years. and that the moment to be brought to play is such as russia and china, who it's debatable, but some would say,
4:34 pm
would dictate what happens next. these 2 countries would have specific agendas in place, in terms of the addition of additional members. i think all of the countries do the reason expectation to china, to a certain degree is that what is the member there is the most king to actually set some new members india to a certain degree quite concerned up, especially when it comes to the rivalry between india and china, russia is very keen considering the situation and reserve in south africa, having slightly quiet for a few months. but in recent days we've seen some clarification in terms of their position. president lula is more and more presenting some concerns around how does expansion is going to be, and particularly, what is the impact on breaks? and we've heard a on sunday president room opposed it from south africa. also, 1st time, publicly announcing that said, africa is in favor of that expansion. so we seen a very different view. it is not to say that the only china and russia have any impact in those decisions. and we're going to hear much more, especially when the heads of states meet with one another tonight here in
4:35 pm
johannesburg. so thanks very much for your time there, gustavo, get the video explaining to us some of the interesting intricacies that go into the established for bringing in more members to that breaks block. but the other issues that might be under discussion is one of us, not necessarily a new car and see, but one about great to trade and local currencies of these existing members. and also increase the investment as well as the infrastructure development across africa. a given that it's a continent that potentially a sense to benefit from a summit like this for me to miller reporting from johannesburg. thank you very much to you and your guest to the united nations mission in afghanistan has published its 1st reports as the tell a band take over 2 years ago. and that report documents 800 cases of serious human rights violations that have taken place since then. they include torture, disappearances and killings, or former african government officials and security forces. this despite the taliban,
4:36 pm
amnesty for workers and the previous governments. yes. can foreign ministry denies allowing any extra traditional killings. jonah fraser is the chief human rights officer of the united nations assistance mission in afghanistan. you are joining us from cobbler. we appreciate you being on the show. can you please detailed the main findings of the report for us? so this is just the tools that you know has done in the past 3 months on the human rights situation here. now scott has done on the portal, specifically look that the general i'm gonna do that the topic on um, so just over 2 years ago in general, um as the that was to get guarantee the safety and protection before government officials and full members of the full say, well, we have documented students band is that happy as the said, the 800 human rights violations against these individuals, full coverage officials and for moment the,
4:37 pm
for the human rights and violations include x 2, additional cleanings and incidents of all the tre arrest and detention incidents of georgia and your treatment as well as a foster care disappearances. when we've spoken to back to the relatives in the community. we have also how many people who fall within this category are very fearful. they don't want to leave that home. and we also have cases where a relative speed of individuals, not knowing what end of the rid of just have gone and individuals to themselves, to be held in the cartridge attention. we have documented these cases across the country. and uh, we just also see that the fact that the jews at the top of found themselves
4:38 pm
announced 2 years ago. the fact that it can be not how is creating a lack of confidence in t the why. so we need to see more action being taken by a defined to the 32. 0, how general the and the key role that it could play in contributing to met do society to the decades of culture. it is this a systematic campaign that has been thought out and then it put implemented by the taliban authorities against members of the past government and security forces? or are we looking at something slightly different we, we've heard reports that that could be something like that, but we don't actually know. well, we can see that on the human rights violations i'm taking place. there's or expecting that the general c a was supposed to protect the 5 to warranties,
4:39 pm
consistent response to all has the kennedys. and the other side of the notes occurring to those were supposed to be protected. and if they do, then they all the work of individuals who came on personal m as he or a badge as well. they kind of a meeting, and so will they have stages public key. so we actually need is we need to see their commitment from the, to 5 to warranties, to fully implement this general d. i'm what we mean by that because we need to see some clear richard instruction on all the scope of the honesty. what actually need we need to see investigation or where the cases or your report also acknowledges that there is in afghanistan and a culture of revenge. meaning if somebody feels aggrieved,
4:40 pm
then revenge is part of the culture ok. within the framework within the context of afghanistan, annual report of knowledge is that this is also at play here. and that's certainly what on the taliban side will be speaking to them in a minute. what they say might be happening, in other words, that they're not actually going after former government employees, again, their argument, but you might be finding on a case by case basis incidents of revenge, your thoughts an answer on that part to or she's have the responsibility now to defend human rights violations, which is what we have categorized. and they also have the responsibility where these violations and to investigate them and to brain power train to um, to account the state. if i got a strong, has a role of obligations that have signed up to you, n t t o human rights. and now the defined to already have the responsibility to
4:41 pm
ensure the protection for the people who live within this country. or if you had a fracture of the afghan mission of the un mission, i beg your pardon the un mission, and i can stand. thank you so much for joining us on the program. we are joined now by a book on her bulky. you're the spokes person for the taliban ministry of foreign affairs . so i'd like you to respond to what you just heard. this is a documented report by the u. n. and it has found 800 cases of violence raging for ranging from torture to abductions to killings, against people who served in the previous governments. and with the security forces before the taliban came into power, your reaction a thank you very much. i would just like to uh, correct this narrative, this is not a documented report. it has a report uh by you and i'm
4:42 pm
a that has not been corroborated with the government officials with the relevant departments. we have also given our response and the antics is this report as also unprecedented in the sense that, that report about the 2 years of incidents that have happened in atlanta science. this is the 1st time that you know, my has actually released a 2 year report. they're usually either quarterly, half a year or annual reports. and if we look at the contents of this report and this document that was released by june on the extra judicial killings which, again, have not been cooperated and have not been sorry. so i have, i have to jump in what state are not. why do you say this is not a documented report? why do you say this is not corroborated? they have been going around the country talking to people. how is that not cooperation of some sort and documentation of some sort it does
4:43 pm
it of some sort. i mean, if we go along the lines of some sort, it is of some sort. i'm talking about proper documentation or for fourths, which includes verification, which includes a, detailing all the circumstances of what happened and then corroborating it with the relevant departments and through the justice ministry to see where the cases are. how that happened, who was responsible? what was the follow up actions? so in that sense, they're not documented. they are, it is a report, it's a one sided report. and i can personally say that none of these instances which are infect 70, that have been reported as not a 20218 instances of extra judicial congress. it's 70 over the year, 2022000 just the killings. but i always thought that would be okay we, we weren't sure the force disappearance is $800.00 incidents total forwarding
4:44 pm
through un. or if you read the, the, you know, my report, it clearly states um, a few things which are actually contradictions. uh, they say the, the vast majority of these colors you and i'm always unable to, to determine which specific entity of the defect office are these most responsible . so that is one they have not even gone through the proper academic and scientific methodology of corroborating and off substantiating of who was actually responsible . and in the very ugly line, it says, members or members of the defect are far to use where the uh, it clearly states that this is not the policy or the deliberate doing of the government off of linus on it. and it also says when it comes to arbitrary detentions, it says, may be considered arbitrary due to lack of clarity regarding okay, will legal framework. i bet your point,
4:45 pm
but it's still get to the heart of the matter is that they like to me, do you deny me that there are taliban people who are in one way or another, employed by the defacto authorities who have carried out either extrajudicial killings or instances of torture or force disappearance against members of the former administration. or i think this is not something which could be denied by any society. every single government has individuals that are involved in corruption and other illegal activities. we will not go to the extent of denying such reports. what we are denying is that this report is not documented. it is not substantiated. it has not been to instances have not been shared with the minister of foreign affairs, which is the point of contact for you, nama and others that have not been corroborated with the relevant departments. but if we look at the overall picture,
4:46 pm
if we look at the overall picture and the theme of, of this report, this actually shows an improvement in the situation and apply to sign up because we have to have a yardstick by which we measure. you cannot measure or, or uh, compare of understand to a country that has had peace for centuries and decades of what i understand is a country that has come out of a 50 year war. and if we compared to 2019, there was 3403 civilian extrajudicial killings and 3055 in 2020. if we compare that's 2022, which is only 70. i mean, this is a drastic reduction and it actually shows up here. so let me ask you guys dresser, improvement and the security and human rights situation in the bottom. so let me ask you this. i've been to afghanistan. i know people who work to the former administration who worked with the security forces and they currently either have left the country because they were afraid of the taliban because they had received threats, very concrete threats. so we know where we, where you live,
4:47 pm
and if you come back to home, we'll come and get you. um, or who are still in afghanistan, but live in hiding. why do you think they're living and night? why are they afraid of the town? so i think that's the question that you should ask them. i'm not in, in a position, to be honest very why they have these when you're running the country. now there's, there's 44000000 people living and i've gotten this done. there's not only a few 1000 security personnel, there was a nearly 400000 uh, security personnel. all of them are here and i've gotten this done. majority of them either working with the departments in the minister of foreign affairs. there's not a single former official or government worker who has been fired from his position that work the shoulder to shoulder with, with us within the government, off of understand none of the lives of fretting. i think these are cases where people would like to portray fritz and there has been very incredible reports
4:48 pm
released by international organizations that demonstrate that some of these cases and threats are not actually true. and these are made up stories to seek asylum abroad. right. okay. i'm do look on her about the you're the spokesperson for the taliban ministry of foreign affairs. we thank you for coming on the program today. i just want to bring an update on our top story that breaking news out of pakistan . one child has no been rescued from that cable car that has become stuck, 300 meters above ground in northern pakistan's kiper. but the 2 club province rescue experts are on sites in our apparently when uh when children to safety one by one will bring you more details on that as they become available. and the japanese prime minister says the treated radioactive water could start to be released into the pacific ocean from thursday onwards. china, south korea, and pacific island nations as well as japanese fishermen,
