told me why it's so many lines for lost in this fire. it's important to know the geography of the space that we're dealing with. services are relatively small building with low ventilation and it's a very densely populated area. and we know that it took quite a long time for emergency services to arrive. we have eye witnesses saying it took over an hour for ambulances to arrive a little less than an hour for fire services, even though the fire engine headquarters is nearby. 5 minutes away actually, someone said, and so that's on one side. emergency services are very so people are saying that it was an impromptu rescue effort. the residents of the neighborhood were rushing upstairs to carry children out of the fire. people were jumping out of windows to escape the fire and officials say that most, that all the casualties at this point, they've rules to be a judo succession. and now what can you tell us about the victims

of so far? their eye witness reports that say that a lot of people being rushed out were children. we don't have an exact number of like confirmed reports of how many of the victims were children. but we do know that a little over a doesn't remain in hospitals in the, in the neighborhood. and we're waiting on confirmed reports of how many of the casualties injured or children. we have been hearing the authorities say that an electrical fault was to blame for this blaze. to people believe this explanation at this point. yes sir. there is no information just to say that this was arson. um, it's not, it's not an unfair question just because of had one churches that when of him several similar accidents happen. the local community does cast out upon suspicions . all my questions that there is,

this is an accident. this doesn't seem to be the case here. what we know happened, according to the official sources on local reports, is that the electricity was out in the area and they were working with the generator. and then one deal crispy came back because they hadn't shut down the main power line on the generator overloaded. and then the 1st thing to blow is basically the air conditioner, which is why the interior ministry saying that they're blaming it on an air conditioner. and that's been confirmed by local records as well. um and unfortunately, accidents like that, like this. i accents like this one are common in cairo and in egypt, especially in dusty populated neighborhoods where the buildings are a little older and infrastructure is inadequate. emergency services are slow. so this point, yes, that is the information we have. you mentioned the slow reaction of emergency services and that of as a result, many of the people died of smoking. ha lation. how are people in egypt reacting to

this tragedy? i'm right now we're hearing that a lot of frustration from the local community from the neighborhood does. this could have been avoided, the scale of tragedy could have been avoided. at the same time when something like this happens, the fear that grips the community, especially, is that usually takes a very long time for churches to get renovated to get reconstructed. there are bureaucratic hurdles and very long delays, even though there is the legal infrastructure in place to speed things up. but this time we just got an announcement from the presidency that the armed forces engineering authority have been tasked with renovating and reconstructing the churches. so hopefully that won't be the case this time. that was been here, i mean journalist and kyra reporting for us. thank you so very much. 6 a year on for the taliban returned to power and afghanistan, women and girls are largely borrowed from public life. security forces broke up

a rare women's rally in the capital, kabul. they fired warning shots and assaulted protesters marching past the education ministry. the women were demanding food and freedom to work and travel. under the taliban attending even peaceful protests is risky. organizing one is even more dangerous, and that's why many women have gone underground to rally support a dangerous display of solidarity cattle, food leads emerge, calling for freedom, for justice, for women to be able to work that was before. now, cattle must work behind closed doors. i am here, she is covertly organizing a protest action to mark the anniversary of the taliban take over val as adam. she says, this is the only way to get anything done. site actually, la scala, after our faces were recognized, they now know us. our photos were released and we gave interviews to the tv

channels on about on the tv channels, ada interviews, and program sadhana. and now we are being chased. and this is a serious problem. so what that, that kind of thing. she's paid a physical price for her activism here. she displays bruises and cuts from scuffles at protests. one time she says she fled her own home when the taliban were about to arrest her and broke her leg, jumping over the wall to escape. she also says she suffered a miscarriage during a demonstration. ah, many he showed their faces at protests last year were later detained. summer suspected to still be in prison. others who were released fled to neighboring pakistan. the next woman requested not to have her name mentioned. with they treated us very badly,

they insulted us and told us to give away our organization. and they asked us, which party we worked for and accused us of working for the resistance front. and they took away our phones for those who stayed behind afghans then has become an increasingly dangerous place. and that has taken its toll. we have spent a very difficult and painful time. we have suffered more pain psychologically and physically. i'm currently not doing well mentally. and my family members are also not doing well mentally. meanwhile, the protests continue. just not outdoors. these women have gathered to send a message to the world, calling for education, freedom, and access to work. the only safe place to do it is behind these walls. we can as ain't a journalist, ali la tiffy who is in the afghan capital

a capital. i like to see you. so these women that we just saw on our report, we're demanding some very basic riots. is there any chance that the taliban might listen to them? it's quite unlikely because if you look at it, it's been exactly a year and not very much has changed. in terms of, you know, the rights they were asking for, for teenage girls to go back to school for all female government employees to be allowed back to work. you know, so far, only women working in 3 ministries have been allowed back to work. that leaves tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of other women out of work. they may be paid, you know, a semblance of their previous wage stay at home. but their actual skill and their capability is missing at the time when the government needs it so badly. and you know, just a couple weeks ago we were talking to a fairly mid level color,

bon official. and he was saying that in all of their, for in a meeting, these issues of women keep coming up, which would lead you to wonder. first of all, didn't you expect this to come up, given your track record? and secondly, if it keeps coming up, why aren't you needing the basic demand? you know, they may actually help ease some of the sanctions and restrictions the rest of the world has both on you. and, you know, when you think about it, as you said, all these women are asking for the most basic fundamental things. you know, the right for their teenage girls return to school and for them to be able to work properly and be active members of society in that way. so we've been saying it's been a year since it's helen bennett to power and we know that you've been in kabul since then. what daily life like. it's better now because not to say that the taller bonner necessarily better or that the situation is necessarily better. but, you know, i was speaking to

a young entrepreneur who still wants to continue investing, and i've gone on a young 100 north. and i remember, he said, you know, he said like if you locks, if you lock yourself in your home for 2030 days, you're no different than a prisoner. and at some point you have to go out and you have to try and resume your normal life. and the one thing they have to remember is society gets more constricted as they want you to fit a specific mold, whether you're a man or woman, down to even what you, where the more you sort of go out and make yourself visible and try and sort of maintain your own sense of identity, the more that is a statement. and i think that's what's happening right now. that's why people are still trying to go out. people are still trying to, you know, go back to having some sort of whatever normal life may be in this situation. journalist alley le tc reporting from campbell ali, thank you. thank you. let's get a check. now,

ship carrying grain for ethiopia is ready to sail from ukraine. it's the 1st ukranian famine relief, cargo bound for africa. since the start of russia's war 16 green ships have had a safe passage so far under a deal drawn up by the united nations dw mathias booting her reports from ukraine. loading 23000 tons of gray. this ship, the brave commander, arrived at the port of p. den 2 days ago. the cog was destination. is it fuel via the u. n's, world food program ordered the shipment. the 1st humanitarian who date should been leaving ukraine since the beginning of the week. we trust that this is just the beginning of many ships that will be leaving to provide hope and food to people across the globe. there has been 3 weeks since the grain deal was closed,

allowing ships that were stuck in the port since february to leave 16 ships that have been sitting in the ports have already left. now it's empty. ships coming in being stocked here and leaving the ports like this one through it goes through a see that not only sees fighting but is also heavily mine ships have to follow a fixed road that both sides have agreed to the mine. however at the moment it is unclear how many owners are ready to send their ships on this route. much depends on the success of missions like the brave commanders we presume i'm sure the much a lot more. but if we understand the scheme is working and freight price is half

started falling a little. but of course, insurance remains expensive. after all, the ships that are sent into ukrainian pause are still sailing into a war zone. what did your story away law? the goal is to have 5 ships a day coming in and out of ukrainian ports, but that remains some way off. and there's the latest and heavily in is this. our up next is shift living in the digital age and marion, everything for me and the entire news team in berlin. thanks for watching someone else to the hard work. t. v highlights the selected for you. new every week in your inbox, subscribe. now. when you become a criminal m pre.
