women's lives are again severely restricted. on the eve of the anniversary, security forces break up a protest demanding more freedom. and in the bundle you gotta buy and be to vote school off the more magic from jamal marcial, our goals and highlights from that game coming up. ah, i'm all azako. welcome to the program. more than 40 people have been killed in a fire at a coptic church in egypt to building was packed with worshippers and quickly filled with smoke. many of those trapped inside jumped out of windows to escape authorities to say an electrical fold started the place blaze in visa, near the capital, kyra ah, thousands of comp to christians attending sunday mass here. when the 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 dist unpaid. many worshippers were trapped inside the style, a thought, some people who threw themselves out of windows. so what are this cost? didn't it wet man headed, 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 church worker managed to rescue the kits downstairs. oh, 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 down, but give me a shout back of all of her not very trouble. 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 i was, those was condition has stabilized, will be charged safety regulations are poorly enforced in egypt. and this is one of the worst fire tragedies in years. we aust journalist, but here i mean in cairo whether the local community accepts the official explanation for the file at this point. yes, there. there is no information 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 blow was 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 brits 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 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 call to 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 speed things up. but this amp, 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 more stories making headlines around the world. and kenya, deputy president william router has edged ahead in presidential elections with almost half of the votes counted. router has more than 51 percent, while opposition leader right is trailing at just over 48 percent. earlier, ryan police will call to the national vote counting center as tension rise over the

results. prize winning author salman rushdie has been taken off a ventilator and is able to speak after suffering severe injuries in a stabbing attack on friday. at $24.00, your suspect has appeared in court, charged with attempted murder. rusty was attacked as he prepared to give a lecture in western new york state interrogation of us lawmakers has arrived and taiwan amid heightens tensions with china. following the visits of how speak and nancy pelosi, beijing views the self governing islands as a province of the mainland. and considered visits by the united states as undermining the one china policy a year from a year on from the taliban return to power in afghanistan, women and girls are largely barred from public life. on saturday, security forces broke up a rare women's rally in the capital cobble. they fired warning shots and assaulted

protesters marching past the education ministry. the women were demanding food and freedom to work and travel. earlier i spoke to our correspondent sandra peters. man, he was out that protest in cub yet was about 11 local time when the women assembled, it was about 3040 of them and they were marching in front of the road that runs past the ministry of education. there were already quite a few security forces in the area, so they let the women march and chant for about 500 meters, i would say. and then the scary moment came, a couple of taliban fighters started firing life rounds in the air to disperse this very small crowd of brave women. and we all started running and seeking shelter because what goes down in the air at some point obviously also comes down. and then towards the end of this, quite a few of my colleagues got arrested, detained,

held for about 10 hours. and it really took till the evening that they were released and they were questioned and they were asked about who was behind this protest, who are the organizers they were asked to pass on phone numbers and what show and what this clearly shows is that the taliban struggle with voices of dissent. hearing. cobble, sandra, what are the women that you've been talking to in cobble saying about the future in afghanistan? it really depends on who you're talking with yesterday. for instance, i spent the entire day with a young woman who feels like a prisoner, she feels confined to her home. she used to be a student, a student of journalism. she used to be a working woman doing her studies in even in classes and all of that is not possible anymore for her. so she really spends her days at home. i got the feeling that she is quite depressed and really she is experiencing dark days. that was the

term that she used. and yesterday she also wrote a letter into my notebook. the letter was addressed to her own country and it was a letter full of tears and you know, hopes that you might have had for her life are not there anymore. she clearly has the sense that under this regime she cannot continue the life that she wants to live. now if you're traveling to the countryside to areas where and people who really experienced the brunt of war where they experienced nitrates, air strikes drones, tracts, if you speak to women, there in the more traditional and conservative areas here, people that have a strong sense of, we are now more liberated because there is security and we are not targeted any more, the war is over and that is really the prevailing sense in the countryside. that more security means a little bit more freedom to them. although we have a regime here that is really having a tight grip on power, the telephone ceased control a year ago to day have they been able to run

a functioning government? i mean, they clearly have a firm grip on this country, and a lot of analysts say that this is probably the strongest in terms of force, the strongest government in the past 4 decades. but what you must keep in mind all is that we are experiencing here a country and crisis. afghanistan as the country of 40000000 people and about half of them are in dire need of food 8. so they need food distribution and the taliban might know very well how to fight and win and in search and see but, but we see here on the ground is that they are really struggling to serve for people in crisis mode. sandra peters, man, are correspondent in cobbled many thanks. ship carrying grain for if yo fear has set off from ukraine is the 1st ukrainian of famine, famine relief,
