tragedy unfolded, the abilene, say same church is located in a densely populated neighborhood at egypt, 2nd largest city, visa, eye witnesses say the blaze blocked, exit, and trigger destined paid. many worshippers were trapped inside the style, a thought to some people who threw themselves out of windows. so with this constant it, when a man hid it, jumping from a window of an now recent hospital with a broken back. i'll look a little more of that. all bottled before you. the full story building also housed a nursery with the doctor. there was a day care center on 2 floors. a lot of the 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's deed. 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 literally in the coming are was, those was condition has stabilized, it will be the charged safety regulations are poorly enforced in egypt. and this is one of the worst fire tragedies in years. well journalist, but here i mean, and kyra whether the local community accepts the official explanation for the file at this point. yes, there, there is no information just to say that this was arson. it's not,

it's not an unfair question just because all the time one church is 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 the official sources on local reports, is that the electricity was out in the area and they were working with a generator. and then one deal tricity came back because they hadn't shut down that main power line on the generator overloaded. and then the 1st thing to low 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 with over grades as well. and unfortunately, i think this one are common in cairo. and in egypt, especially in the populated neighborhoods where the buildings are a 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 that 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 comp, 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, to see 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. let's look at some other stories making headlines around the world prize winning ortho salman rushdie has been taken off a ventilator and is able to speak after suffering severe injuries in a stabbing attack. friday at 24 year old suspects has appeared in course charged with attempted murder. rusty was attacked as he prepared to give a lecture in western new york state. in kenya, deputy president william brutal has edged

underground to rally support. a dangerous display of solidarity. cat or food leads march, 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 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. way 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. so is there any chance the taliban might listen to women demanding basic rights? we ask, journalists are little tiffy and couple. it's quite unlikely because if you look at it, it's been bakley 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 color barn 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 return to school and for them to be able to work properly and be active members of society in that way. journalist ali, let's see,
