�*welcome to newsday, reporting live from singapore, i'm karishma vaswani. the headlines. as the first aid from the world food programme arrives in afghanistan — since the taliban captured the capital — we have a special report from the pakistan border — on the worsening refugee crisis. anyone could give me a home or place to stay, pave the way for me to study to do what i want and i will 100% do that. no doubt about it. iran and the un nuclear inspection agency strike a deal on monitoring some iranian nuclear facilities — in talks described as constructive. we remember the first racially—motivated hate crime — the murder of balbir singh sodhi — in the backlash against

the september 11 attacks. and also in the programme: making tennis history — britain's emma raducanu becomes the first qualifier to win a grand slam title — just months after finishing school. it's six in the morning in singapore, and 2.30 in the morning in kabul where the the united nations world food programme says a plane bringing much needed aid has landed for the first time since the taliban captured the afghan capital nearly a month ago. it comes as tens of thousands of refugees are thought to have crossed the border into pakistan in the weeks since

the fall of kabul. they'rejoining a huge population of afghan refugees already in the country — a million and a half who are registered and an estimated one million others who are undocumented. our world affairs editorjohn simpson has travelled through the khyber pass — to the border between pakistan and afghanistan at torkham. fight overfor 3000 fight over for 3000 years. the insignia of every inch of ground here has been fought over for 3000 years. the insignia of former british and indian regiments are carefully preserved along the way, and the khyber�*s a major trade route. trucks toil up the gradients carrying afghan fruit and vegetables into pakistan — the occasional passenger too. smugglers trudge along the footpaths as they always have. at the head of the khyber, torkham, a border crossing into afghanistan. now above it is a white flag carrying the shahada, the muslim proclamation of faith.

up there is a makeshift taliban flag — not, you notice, the afghan nationalflag, even though this is the afghan border. just over there, two soldiers facing off. the nearer one is pakistani, the further one is taliban with a white facemask. behind them is a growing crowd of people, desperate to get into pakistan. many of them are hoping to get through on medical grounds, and if they've got the right documents, both the taliban and the pakistanis will let them and their families through. they shuffle along in a continuous line — and you can see how happy they are when they finally made it through. this taliban guard seems relaxed, but makes no apologies for what's happened. "the set—up in afghanistan has changed," he tells me.

"it was democratic, now the flag of the islamic emirate flies over it." at a border crossing further south, there's been a continuous flood of refugees. most will end up staying here in pakistan, though the younger ones dream of getting out. anwar, for instance, from an afghan family which has lost almost everything, is desperate to get to the west. if anyone, like, give me a home, give me a place to stay, give me a hope, like, welcome me with open arms, like, pave the way for me to study, to do what i want, i will 100% serve them — there's no doubt about it. this refugee camp outside peshawar opened up a0 long years ago. muhammad wazir was ten when he arrived. he used to long to return. now he knows it'll never happen. "what could i do there?" he says.

"if the fighting goes on, there'll be no work. "what's the point?" now, a new generation of refugees is growing up here. how long before they despair of going home? john simpson, bbc news, peshawar. there's plenty more coverage on afghanistan online including an article looking at the taliban's new rules on female students which include universities being segregated by gender, and a new islamic dress code will be introduced. just go to the bbc news website. still to come a bit later in the programme: we'll be speaking to a doctor who returned back to his home in singapore after 16—years working in afghanistan — we'll hear his take on the situation there. but first, an agreement that gives time for diplomacy, that's the assessment on the un's nuclear watchdog,

after they struck a deal with the new government in tehran. international inspectors will be allowed to service cameras that gather data at some key locations. the iranian refusal to allow them access had brought efforts to revive the international nuclear agreement to the brink of rupture. the move eases tensions, but the thorny issue of the country's nuclear programme is yet to be defused. after his lighting visit to the iranian capital, the head of the iaea — rafael grossi — acknowledged that he'd not healed any wounds, but applied some diplomatic sticking plaster: the continuity of the operation of the agency's equipment here, which is indispensable for us to provide the necessary guarantees, and the information to the iea and to the world that everything is in order and that we are going to be able to assist, also, to assist iran in its future negotiations

in the context of the jcpoa. i'm joined now by mark fitzpatrick, he worked for 26 years at the us state department in many roles including as deputy assistant secretary for non—proliferation. he's now with the international institute for strategic studies. how significant is this as a decision from the iranians? this was a necessary step to preserve the prospect of a diplomatic solution. it doesn't solve anything, itjust avoids disaster and that is a good thing. but the path ahead does not look so promising, i'm sorry to say. what

mark avoiding disaster is usually a good thing. but rafael grossi has repeated several times that this is not a permanent solution — so then what is? there are a couple of issues here. one is getting the organisation restored and what happened today reserves the possibility for this because of they had not done this today, there would've been a resolution in the border of governors that would've criticised and censored iran and many would've broken off talks altogether. so whether or not iran comes back to talks or not, as we sincerely do not know but they might. the second set of issues with regard to all of this evidence that iran was conducting nuclear weapons work had not reported and they have found traces of uranium pointing to it and that

all looms as a rather difficult issue because i don't think iran is ever going to admit to this nuclear weapons work cast a shadow over everything. how much will the new govt in iran make a difference to the talks? i'm afraid this new government and iran makes the talks much, much harder. in the spring, the united states and the european partners and iran came very close to reaching an agreement on restoring the gc poa. there was some sticking points and they were very inflexible, making demands and saying that every single one of president trump's sanctions had to be lifted. all five or 600 of them. the united states were able to lift over a thousand but some of

them had nothing to do with this where for things like a ron's human rights violations, the murder of hundreds of protesters in 2019. there was a hurdle and the former government was able to make a deal, ready to make a deal and they made a report to the parliament in mid july among all the compromises that the united states had made and the said we needed to make a few more and get it done. the new government is even tougher. tensions between iran and the west have soared since 2018 when president donald trump pulled out of the nuclear deal — and restored us sanctions. how do you see the biden administration dealing with iran? president biden made a pledge to restore the this injanuary and she did not move very quickly on it because he had so many of the things he had including getting a very

divided congress but he started and eventually they got the talks going and, but he's not getting to the point where were wondering whether or not this deal is worth saving because every day that passes, iran accumulates more uranium and gets more knowledge about how to make it further enriched and reduces the value of this deal. i'm not sure that the biden administration wants to make the compromises that iran is demanding. let's take a look at some of the stories making headlines in the uk. a vaccine passport scheme for nightclubs and other venues in england will not now go ahead at the end of this month — the government confirmed today — despite ministers saying just days ago that it was the right thing to do. the news comes ahead of this week's plan on how covid will be managed over the autumn and winter.

leading trade unions say more than 600,000 jobs could be at risk if the uk fails to reach its climate change targets as quickly as other countries. the tuc warned jobs could be moved to competing nations. the government has pledged to cut carbon emissions by 78% by 2035 and says it's considering an independent report into the future of green jobs. if you want to get in touch with me i'm on twitter — @bbckarishma you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme. we'll hearfrom emma raducanu — who has made history at the us open — to become the first british woman to win a grand slam singles final, in 44 years — just months

after finishing school. 30 hours after the earthquake that destroyed mexico city, people have no idea how many people have died. don't there are people alive and not alive. ~ �* , ., ., alive. we're “ust going to give them whatever alive. we're just going to give them whatever we've _ alive. we're just going to give them whatever we've got. _ alive. we're just going to give them whatever we've got. a _ alive. we're just going to give them whatever we've got. a funeral - whatever we've got. a funeral has been held at _ whatever we've got. a funeral has been held at the _ whatever we've got. a funeral has been held at the place _ whatever we've got. a funeral has been held at the place or - whatever we've got. a funeral has been held at the place or is - whatever we've got. a funeral has been held at the place or is she i been held at the place or is she married 26 years ago. it looked like they had come to fight a war but the mission is to bring peace to east timor and no other place needs and more badly. the governments case is being presented by thejustice minister. he is campaigning vigorously for this. hundreds of pilgrimages are made here. not that she has become a saint, it is expected that this area will be inundated with tourists. the local businessman regard this as yet another lesson of saint elizabeth.

this is newsday on the bbc. i'm in singapore. our main story as the first aid from the world food programme arrives in afghanistan — since the taliban captured the capital — the afghan refugee crisis on the pakistan border worsens. "a looming humanitarian catastrophe" is how the united nations is describing the situation in afghanistan. it will host a high level meeting later on monday in a bid to convince governments to maintain humanitarian support for the country despite the taliban's return to power. the un estimates that 18 million afghans — almost half the population, are in need of assistance. the united nations will host a high level meeting in geneva and new york on afghanistan today,

in a bid to convince governments to maintain humanitarian support for the country despite the taliban's return to power. the un estimates that 18 million afghans — almost working among the afghan people as a doctor and humanitarian worker for more than 16 years is singaporean medic, dr hakim young. he'sjoins us now from singapore — where he has recently returned to from afghanistan. karishma's questions: i know you talk to your friends and colleagues a lot in afghanistan — what are they saying about the situation there now? thank you for having me. our friends are fearful, angry, sad and have trauma. in the sense that the world has abandoned them as they struggle with basic survival needs, safe shelter, food and water. they go for provisions and they are nervous about how the new government will behave. and this trust of global

powers and in the kabul university graduate needs food for his wife and child in so the last few weeks he has tried selling bananas and vegetables and would push the cart. i do miss sharing this even when the security in kabul was worsening dramatically in recent years. and. we are seeing some pictures of what daily life is like in afghanistan right now. the un is saying there is a looming humanitarian crisis under way there. what are some of the most urgent medical needs — especially for those most vulnerable? i think that trauma is a real urgent need besides food, water and save shelter. the un has estimated that one third of afghans worry about

where the next meal is going to come from and they also report that 72% of afghans live below the poverty line and as a harsh outcome is coming up, i think it is very important for the world to support afghans as they struggle to provide food for the families and also a big water crisis over this claimant. are they getting the help they need? is the aid getting to those who most needed? the is the aid getting to those who most needed? . , ., needed? the aide is getting through the big agencies _ needed? the aide is getting through the big agencies who _ needed? the aide is getting through the big agencies who have _ needed? the aide is getting through. the big agencies who have negotiated with the new government, but on the ground with local ngo that used to

operate, the urgent tasks would be to get supplies and on the road, as well as to have a reliable means of delivering funds to the organisations that support afghans. thank you so much forjoining us on newsday. to have a look at them when you get the chance and thank you for joining us on newsday. breaking news now. north korea carried out successful long—range cruise missile tests over the weekend —— that's according to state media. the korean central news agency reported the new type of rocket flew 1,500 km before falling into the country's territorial waters.

the test launches, which took place on both saturday and sunday, were observed by high—level officials. we will get more analysis from our teams looking into the story when we get it. be sure to tune and for that and later additions of newsday. in the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks, the us saw a sharp rise in hate crimes. the attackers — mostly self—styled white patriots — targeted those they believed to be arab muslims. the innocent victims included balbir singh sodhi an american—sikh who had a beard and wore a turban and ran the family gas station in mesa, arizona. his murder, four days after 9/11, was the first racially—motivated hate crime in the backlash to the attacks. balbir�*s brother, and for the first time, his son and the gunman spoke to jatinder dhillon. shrai popat is the video producer.

you may find some parts upsetting. losing a brother, i think i lost so much love, because, to me, he treated me like a younger brother, and he treated me like a son and baby, and he treated me like a friend. i miss him and we always talk about him — every day. there's something, there is conversation going on, then his name is come up. we were also shocked when we saw that footage on the tv, the planes going through those buildings, and after, hours later, they start showing 05ama bin laden on the tv, and, as sikh community, i knew that — or we all knew — there might be a backlash against sikhs. i called my dad to be careful, too, because he wears a turban all the time, even at work

and stuff, and he said "no, no," everybody's so nice to him there so he's ok here, he's safe here, so... that's what my last conversation with him. every year, i go through this tough time of feeling so much sorrow- for causing that family is so much pain. - for causing that - family so much pain. what prevented me from seeing him as a fellow human being was all- |the news events of the destructionj of 9/11, women jumping from those buildings to their deaths, it caused such anguish. . my feelings toward frank silva, i... i never, ever met that person,

personally, because ijust saw him on the court states and stuff. they ask me, like, do you forget, forgive this person? i say no, i cannot forgive. he took my father away from me. how can you forgive somebody who did that? if 9/11 didn't happen, this probably would not happen to my family as well, so he'd probably be here enjoying our life with us, hopefully, so he... i think he's also a victim. it's like, even a separate incident, but he's also a victim of 9/11. what next for britain's eighteen—year—old emma raducanu, who has won the us open in one of the most dramatic victories in modern tennis.

raducanu only made it into the tournament as a qualifier, but she won the title without dropping a single set — beating nineteen—year old leylah fernandez of canada in two sets, six—four, six three. she's the first british woman to win a grand slam singles title in forty—four years. 0ur correspondent in new york, samira hussain, was one of the first journalists to catch up with raducanu after her victory. emma, congratulations. look at that trophy — big and shiny. i know! is it heavy? no — you want to feel it? do you mind? wow. that is very cool. i've got no idea what's going on, not at all — i've got no clue, but anything that comes my way, i'm ready to deal with it, and i've got great people around me to take me through these moments. and they got me here, and, yeah, i'm very excited to celebrate with them later and also go home and see everyone back home.

what was it like to receive a message from the queen? yeah, it meant everything to get a message from her majesty. i mean, she's such a great inspiration and role model for the whole country, so to have a note from her, i was extremely honoured and very, very grateful, you know, she took notice of my tennis. i mean, i can't believe it — i'm maybe going to frame that letter or something. have you been able to facetime with your parents? and how much do you wish that they were here? yeah, i facetimed them. not off my phone, though — i haven't checked that yet. but i definitely wish they were here to share this moment because it's extremely special and who knows what will happen in the future, so... but, i mean, they were watching from home and i'm sure that they were very, very proud of me. i mean, they were — they told me after the match, and it was great reassurance to just have that, because when i was out there i was playing for myself but also playing for them. well raducanu's mother grew up in china — and she had this message for her chinese fans.

dajia hao... she speaks mandarin. zai jian — wo ai ni! well she was speaking in mandarin, translation "hi, everyone. i'd like to say thank you to you all. i hope you enjoy watching my tennis. i'm so happy to win. love you all." the us open men's final is under way in new york. the world number one, novak djokovic, is attempting to become the first man in more than half a century to win all four grand slam tournaments in the same year. he's playing the russian, daniil medvedev. at the moment things are not looking good for djokovic — he's down two sets. but if he manages to turn things around — his win would also mean a record twenty—one major titles for the serb

for the serb — one more than roger federer and rafa nadal. that's all for now — stay with bbc world news. hello. as a weather system bring in plenty of cloud across the uk to start it initially from monday, most of the rain will be across western parts as we go through monday night into tuesday. that rain will become more widespread and some of it on tuesday will be quite heavy. you can see by the position of the weather systems why it is mostly across western areas that will see some rain. but of cloud to begin with and wells in western england in the eastern side of northern ireland and scotland with some rain. actually in northeast scotland and clear skies of the few misting plot patches to begin with northeast scotland with the hard lion's share of the
