9:30 pm
today marks two years since the taliban takeover in afghanistan. the un says the country is experiencing one of the most severe humanitarian crises in the world, and has warned of a huge shortfall in funding amid a deepening economic crisis. women and girls have also faced severe restrictions since the taliban came to power, including the banning of girls from secondary schools. our chief international correspondent lyse doucet has this special report. cheering. days gone by. stadiums with female fans, female footballers. now sports are only for men and boys. girls once went to school. now their high schools are shut. qargha lake outside kabul, once a family favorite. now only men are allowed. afghan women are banned
9:31 pm
from public parks. even beauty parlors were shut two weeks ago. this salon went underground. schools operate in secret, too. it's risky, but these women are fighting for more than just beauty. translation: beauty salons were a safe place for women. i even had customers who were coming to the salon only to talk and spend some time, laugh and cry with other women. the only thing i can see from my heart is that the women of my country are deeply distressed. the un says this may be gender apartheid, but the taliban government spokesman told us the world shouldn't interfere. translation: this isjust an excuse to put pressure on afghanistan. - we have made progress in other areas. there isjust one small issue remaining and we will sort this out, as well. it's just a matter of time? because most people believe
9:32 pm
they seem to be there to stay. translation: women are working| in some places now and for the rest as well, as long as sharia allows it and there is a need. the same goes for girls' education. we have never said that these restrictions are going to be forever. afghans ask if, when, their lives will change. security is better now. no more taliban attacks, of course. foreign troops are gone, but donors are turning away, too. the un appeal is only a quarterfunded. one message that afghan people really give us so forcefully and strongly is please don't abandon us. we have already now a more difficult situation. if you take away ourjobs and if you take away even the basic needs that we have, where should we end up? more and more children are ending up like this, like ismutala and asif working 14
9:33 pm
hours a day to feed their families. together, they earn about a pound a day. just enough to put bread on their table. their father used to be a driver with a foreign company. it shut down when the taliban took over. war injured him, too. translation: my baby has no cradle. i sold it to buy some flour. if there's no other way, i would be forced to sell my children to survive. agonizing choices. that's life in afghanistan now. lyse doucet, bbc news. stefan wolff is professor of international security at the university of birmingham. thank you so much forjoining us.
9:34 pm
the consequences of withdrawal were entirely predictable from the severe humanitarian crisis to the economic crisis, given that, what responsibility does the west have to play for afghanistan is right now? in the sense that yes, the consequences were predictable but it is not like there was a prolonged western presence in afghanistan but it made a significant difference. let's not forget there was no agreement between the united states and the taliban in the 29th of february. they arranged for the withdrawal of all western forces, all international forces from afghanistan. but i was predicated on dialogue that would not have seen a takeover of afghanistan by the taliban and subsequent establishment of the portal to connect regime
9:35 pm
described last month. violence has diminished since the taliban takeover but we are seeing an escalating conflict between the taliban and the so—called islamic state. what impact has that had on the region? an interesting question and their two points. on one hand, yes, violence in afghanistan has decreased and that is completely out of the question but that does not necessarily mean that afghanistan is a more peaceful society and security gains that have been made of, the cost of really harsh repression and the taliban have made it out to all the taliban have made it out to all the positions and former government officials and ethnic minorities and women, the aspect of the situation
9:36 pm
in terms of terrorist groups in the confrontation of force between them an islamic state but on the other hand, the taliban of created certain degree of space for the terrorist groups to once again make afghanistan a base for their regional operations and potentially much more global operations that we have seen and the taliban were in charge and al-qaeda had a major influence of the country. think other countries this as a threat? they do, not as much an acute thread in the same way that it was in the late 1990s into thousands, but is also interesting that at the moment, i think with the countries most concerned about that is china because china has significant fields
9:37 pm
that extremists were presented in organisations like the eastern group which might establish a base in afghanistan and then started to attack both china and also chinese interests and just today, we have seen an attack on chinese contractors in pakistan and pakistan is massively affected by the insecurity in afghanistan. bring back our panelists _ insecurity in afghanistan. bring back our panelists and - insecurity in afghanistan. bring back our panelists and i - insecurity in afghanistan. bring back our panelists and i want . insecurity in afghanistan. bring back our panelists and i want to talk about this question. does the uk see the situation afghanistan as disabling, destabilising? f’lik uk see the situation afghanistan as disabling, destabilising?— disabling, destabilising? puk of stru: ale to disabling, destabilising? puk of struggle to do _ disabling, destabilising? puk of struggle to do with _ disabling, destabilising? puk of struggle to do with the - disabling, destabilising? puk of struggle to do with the offence l disabling, destabilising? puk of- struggle to do with the offence have transpired _ struggle to do with the offence have transpired with withdrawal from afghanistan and it's chaotic and very turbulent and it was ward with

will ever do that now two years after they actually consolidated their regime quite significantly and it would be from more more to lateral cooperation with afghanistan and the clearly efforts and regular meetings of special and major international players and china, us, and also regional countries in central asian neighbours of afghanistan, pakistan, ithink central asian neighbours of afghanistan, pakistan, i think that is one way forward and with more collective pressure what's really interesting is the position of china because china clearly has economic interests in afghanistan and a security concerns also a paper in afghanistan and the chinese foreign ministry makes reference to and

constantly reminds the taliban of the need to form a more inclusive government to include women but also respect the rights of ethnic minorities. now — we often cover artificial intelligence in the context of the fears and concerns people have about so many new technologies appearing and changing the way we live our lives. but there are many really positive ai projects around the world and in every field. 65 year old julie lloyd is part of the uk's first trial of high tech ai trousers. julie suffered a stroke and struggles to walk unaided. butjust a few minutes after putting on the trousers she was able to walk freely for the first time in six months. the "neuroskin" trousers stimulate her paralysed leg using electrodes controlled by artificial intelligence and they could be life changing for millions of patients

i have to say that the injury to kevin is bad for us, a big loss, kevin having specific qualities which you can lose for one game or two games, but this is hard for us. the doctors and the physios, he told me he felt good but unfortunately, it happened. it's official — neymar is leaving paris saint—germain and is moving to saudi arabian side al hilal. the deal is expected to be around 90 million euros, around 98 million dollars, plus add ons. neymarjoined the french champions in 2017 for a world record fee of over 254 million dollars. but he was apparently not part of new coach luis enrique's plans so he's the latest big money transfer in the saudi pro league. harry kane and his family put

on their smart clothes on and took a stadium tour of his new club bayern munich. the england captainjoined the german champions on a four—year deal from tottenham for an initial fee of 100m euros. and after he inspected the pitch, he met a few of the most enthusiastic fans for a quick selfie. kane scored 280 goals for spurs and is the club's highest ever goal—scorer. spain have sealed their place in sunday's women's world cup final after beating sweden in a dramatic semi—final tie in auckland. a game of few chances sparked into life when 19 —year—old substitute salma para—lluelo gave spain the lead with just 10 minutes remaining. sweden — who've now lost back—to—back world cup semi—finals — equalised through rebecka blomqvist and it looked like the match would be going to extra time. butjust 93 seconds later spain's captain olga carmona scored an 89th—minute winner to spark wild

9:54 pm
so far. we know it's going to be a very competitive game. we don't feel the rivalry that much. the main rivalry is in rugby and cricket and last week in netball. we know it's going to be a very competitive game. lots of players from australia play in the women's super league and they know us and we know them. the main competitiveness that will get in front of us tomorrow. levelling the tie—down aggregates shortly after half—time, equalised on the night in his school from the first league, it was enough to see

his side through to a match—up and for the first leg next tuesday. and there's been a u—turn from ben stokes — he's going to be part of england's one day side looking to retain the cricket world cup later this year. stokes will come out of retirement and be part of the squad for a four—match series against new zealand next month. the world cup follows in india in october. official confirmation is expected on wednesday. england captain owen farrell has avoided a suspension and is free to play in the rugby world cup in france kicking off next month. farrell was given a yellow card that was upgraded to red by the bunker review system for a tackle on wales forward taine basham. it means the 31 —year—old is free to feature in england's two remaining warm up games before their world cup opener against argentina in marseille on the 9th of september. great news for us and the squad, as

a team and they've gone through the disciplinary process and come to the outcome which is some, yes, it is great for us and getting with the process and cracking on is normal. to connect to the bbc website for more information. and that's all the sport for now. hello there. the weather has started to turn a little drier and a little brighter. and over the next few days, we can expect it to turn a little bit warmer as well. it will start to feel quite humid. now, through this evening and tonight, most places will be dry with clear spells, but we'll keep more in the way of cloud across northern and eastern parts of scotland, maybe north—east england, bringing just one or two
9:57 pm
showers through the early hours of wednesday. a few fog patches are likely to form as well. temperatures generally holding up between 9 and 13 degrees. it mayjust be a little bit cooler than that across some parts of east wales, the west midlands and down into the west country. so for southern england, parts of wales, northern england, southern scotland, northern ireland, we do have the potential for some fog patches through the morning, and at this time of year, that fog can linger for a couple of hours. so it may still be quite murky for some through the morning rush hour, but that fog will then lift and clear. we'll see some spells of sunshine. just the small chance for a shower. a bit more of a chance, i think, of catching a shower in the north of scotland, where we will also keep more in the way of clouds. 17 degrees for aberdeen, but further south and east, highs of 26. as we move out of wednesday into thursday, our area of high pressure strengthens, it drifts north—eastwards and the winds will start to come in from the near—continent, and that will lift the temperatures in many locations. many of us will get up into the 20s
9:58 pm
celsius on thursday. a bit of fog first thing across parts of northern england, up into scotland. that should lift and clear. sunny spells, not too many showers, most places will be dry. and those temperatures, well, quite widely between 20 and 2a degrees. but some places in south—east england, maybe around some western coasts as well, could get to around 26. now, friday will be a warm—feeling day as well, butjust how warm depends upon the progress of these frontal systems from the atlantic. if these fronts hang back and we see more in the way of sunshine, it could be a very warm day indeed. but at this stage, it looks most likely that cloud and rain will spread from the south—west. heavy rain, at that, and temperatures will be held back to between 17 and 2a degrees. but it's going to feel very, very humid. that rain sweeps northwards and eastwards during friday night. and actually, we can expect quite a lot of dry weather as we head through the weekend.
9:59 pm
22 in aberdeen. bowing to the start of next week, we may see another surge of warm airfrom of next week, we may see another surge of warm air from the of next week, we may see another surge of warm airfrom the near continent particularly across southeastern parts of the uk. the chance for showers at times, thunderstorms picking out across the southeast corner. later in the wii, high—pressure looks at to build from the atlantic, but this will bring us at the wind direction. those winds coming in from the west. not particularly warm through the second half of the week. so briefly a spell of warm weather is possible early next week, but still with some showers for the north and west. looks like those temperatures will generally come down a bit through the middle part of the week. but some summer warmth and the forecast
