a 3 years that wouldn't change the world forever. but germans journey around the world. sports september 7th on d. w. ah ah. this is dw news live from berlin. dozens are dead after a fire ripped through a church in egypt. the building was packed with the worshiper, celebrating the comp to christian mass. authorities are blaming and electrical fault. also on the show. again, a sand marks the years since the taliban returned to power women's lives are again

severely restricted. as the anniversary passed, security forces broke up a protest demanding more freedom and a ship carrying desperately need a grain is ready to sail from the black sea. the brave commander will transport cranes, 1st of famine relief cargo to africa. since the start, a brush is more ah i married evans theme, it's good to have you with us. more than 40 people have been killed in a fire at a compton church in egypt. the building was packed with worshippers and quickly filled with smoke. many of those trapped inside and jumped out of windows to escape . authorities say in electrical fault, started the blaze in visa, which is near the capital cairo. ah,

thousands of compton christians were attending sunday mass here. when the tragedy unfolded, the abilene say, same church is located in a densely populated neighborhood of egypt, 2nd largest city, visa, eye witnesses say the blaze blocked exit, and trigger dist unpaid. many will shippers were trapped inside the style a thought. some people threw themselves out of windows. so what are biscuits didn't it? wet man hid it, jumping from a window. now recent hospital with a broken back, i'll look a little more of that all vulnerable for you. the full story building also housed a nursery with the doctor. there was a day care center on 2 floors, a church worker managed to rescue the kids downstairs. he didn't know their way more upstairs than the noise and yelling started to bubble up when we finally got upstairs. we found people with like a shout back of all over. not very terrible. i saw them bringing that people from

the upper floor that from suffocation, including children. we didn't know how to get to them. i know we can't even tell who sons or daughters they are. how can something like this happened? egypt interior ministry says the blaze was caused by an electrical fault in an air conditioning unit. the prime minister and other officials visited the scene. they promised funds to help restore the building. and they visited survivors in hospital a lot of hopefully in the coming i was those was condition has stabilized, will be discharged. safety regulations are poorly enforced in egypt. and this is one of the worst fire tragedies in years. i as a journalist by eda, i mean in cairo whether the local community accepted the official explanation for the fire at this point. yes, 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 a similar similar accidents happen, the local community does cast out upon suspicions. all my questions that there's, this is an accident. this doesn't seem to be the case here. what we know happened, according to those official sources on local reports, is that the electricity was out in the area and they were working with a generator. and then one dio, tricity came back because they hadn't shut down the mean 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 reprints as well. and unfortunately, accents, this one are common in cairo and in egypt, especially in does the populated neighborhoods where the buildings are little older and infrastructure is inadequate. emergency services are slow right now we're, we're hearing that a lot of frustration from the local community from the neighborhood. the,

this could have been avoided, the scale of tragedy could have been avoided. and at the same time, when something like this happens, the fear that groups the called the community, especially is that usually takes a very long time for churches to get renovated to get reconstructed. there are some bureaucratic hurdles and very long delays, even though there is the legal infrastructure in place to, to see things up. but, but this summer 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 a year on from the taliban to turn to power in afghanistan, women and girls are largely borrowed from public life. security forces broke up a rare women's rally in the capital campbell. they fired warning shots and assaulted protesters marching past the education ministry. the women were demanding food and freedom to work and travel. well under the taliban,

attending even peaceful protest, it's risky and organizing. one is even more dangerous. and that's why many women have now gone underground to rally support. i don't think it was a dangerous display of solidarity cattle fo, who'd leads and march calling for freedom for justice for women to be able to work that was before. now cattle must work behind closed doors. here she is covertly organizing a protest action to mark the anniversary of the taliban take over a van as adam. she says, this is the only way to get anything done. say that one more skill after our faces were recognized, they now know us. our photos were released and we gave interviews to the tv channels later on. but on the tv channels, ada interviews and program sadhana, and now we are being chased. and this is a serious problem, so more that,

that kind of thing. she's paid a physical price for her activism here. she displays bruises and cuts from scuffles of 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 when they treated as 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 afghan as 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. so is there any chance that the taliban might listen to women demanding basic rights? i put that question to journalist ali latifah and cobble it's quite unlikely because if you look at it, it's been back lea

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, assembling for 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 colored 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 meeting 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 to 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 hello been to power and we know that you've been in cobble since then. what's 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 locked, 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 as 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 norm or life may be in this situation. journalist ali latifah reporting from campbell ali, thank you. thank you. let's get a check. now some of the other stories making news around the world. a man killed himself after robbing his car into a barricade close the us capital. the 29 year old shot himself shortly after getting out of the vehicle. the car went up in flames after the crash.
