worst humanitarian disasters. as dw center peters month found out a warning. the 1st images in this report are disturbing. ah, this is chassis at b, b. o. she was born just before the taliban returned to power chassis as trip between 2 curses that challenged the best efforts of doctors hearing, cobbling, trying to help her. oh yes sir. norman jamita, why she is suffering from both severe pneumonia and severe malnutrition. her pneumonia has actually caused her malnutrition, not slightly maloof to that model, that essentially are lower. see that i think as i for them, the prognosis of children like her with severe malnutrition is not very good as their growth development. and intelligence may be affected. list of those on the home that was a problem. shes yes, mother did not one to be phoned,

but she told us she has 8 children and is pregnant with her 9th. there is never enough food at home, she said, and no money for medicine. half of afghanistan's people are experiencing acute foot insecurity. that's 20000000 people who are so hungry, their lives are at risk as we drive to cobble it. facts and figures become faces. this is one of the wet food program centers in the east of the city. loudon, i've got a project manager of local 8 organization, is in charge here. the worst part of the job choosing who should get supplies. it is exactly very difficult for as how to choose the right person over the air. many of them they are hungry, many of them they are in need. many of them even they are running after as when we

are giving their verification in selection. but sir, we cannot do all. we can not provide food for all those he picks get 50 k g of wheat, just over 6 k g of lentils, and 5 liters of cooking i. there are also packets of peanut butter, paste for children, and special nutrition for pregnant women. it's supposed to feed a family for 3 months. it hardly ever does. o. s. the sky starts to darken over kabul. if we visit a bakery in the north, people with money by fresh bread for dinner. sometimes they buy extra for the desperate women who sit outside hoping for charity. many of them are widows. many have walked for more than an hour to get here. we act and on as we amy, they are forced to beg. why else would we sit here all day together says that i be in vision vill yak, thought the pike. i take the bread home and i eat it with my children. got out but

it's not enough to fill our stomachs. i divide the bread and pieces and give it to my children so that none of them dies, make it, but our stomachs are never full because of all on monday may monday minay is theater, make money, bakery own i am your dell. half marty has registered around $1000.00 women for the bread donations only though is with a car to get a loaf. it's his way to try to help but also to keep the situation under control. i it of i thought that additional got them. katrina, i guess also i started this project out of a strong sense of be do autism because our people are jobless. the corner of the international community has stopped their assistance for us. we are forced to fight for our people. i'm for aligned to man, but that a mother, mom, all the thought that a hawk in mamma, what m a, what a zack wanted afghans and not only victims of massive 8 cutbacks, but also of the sanctions against their fundamentalists, rulers billions of dollars of national assets held abroad

a frozen st markets continue, but the wider economy is collapsing and the taliban have no experience of serving millions of desperate people in crisis. not a single country has recognized there is im, this per i status is costing ask and steely that report by a zunker pay this money cobble. i asked her, what's the way out of this di, situation that as the seemed to be an easy way out, the trajectory is actually that the situation is getting more dire. because right now, the international community, namely the united nations, up providing essential food items to about half the population, 20000000 people. and they will have to continue to do that because the economy around us, despite the fact that there are still local markets and the way the economy is collapsing and increasing number of people is job less. we met a lot of people who are really very keen to leave the country,

many fearing the economic down for much more than their security situation. and i myself, personally, am wondering for how long the international community will be able to keep up this huge international humanitarian effort. when you have a look around the word because there are other crisis ongoing as well and of kindest on might be one of those forgotten crisis. and in that time to come. and another issue there is this clamped down on women's rights. what sort of pushback has there been i mean, if you speak to women here yesterday, for instance, i spent the entire day with a young woman who used to be a top shot. she used to be a university student. she used to work in the presidential palace and now she describes herself as her prisoner at home. she taught us that under this regime, she doesn't want to continue her studies because of the curriculum changes and also because she simply can't afford to pay the private university that she was studying

at. and if you look at the larger picture, you have a lot of women who are just scared to voice their true feelings to voice their descent. we were witness of a small demonstration on saturday. about 40 women assembled in the front of the ministry of education, demanding their right to work their right to freedom, their right to suit. and then what happened is the authorities here let them march on for about 500 meters and then they started firing light shots. and that light shot situation lasted for about 30 seconds. the women were dispersed and also a lot of journalists were arrested at the scene because they were bearing witness to this. how were the taliban marking today's anniversary center? so far, it's a very calm and quiet day. they have declared today a national holiday, so the streets are really come yearly. com. i would say not a lot of traffic going on here. there is supposed to be something like an official

ceremony at 2 pm local time, where we expect some speeches and maybe some prayer that is supposed to happen at the national tv hall. whether or not there will be something like a parade going on, or any other festivities in the streets remains to be seen. but one must say, there are also a lot of security concerns because the last 14 days, in particular. so quite a few blasts and saw a lot of rick tim's, especially in the western part of town where the shia has our, our community lives. and there are security concerns for today because it's the taliban are basically the rulers of this country, but there is still opposition to them from the national freedom fight and also from the islamic state here in afghanistan. and suppose it easiest limit, state has got some sleeper cells here in cobbling said repeat us, man, thank you very much for your reporting. mary. ellen mcgrory leads the world through

programs efforts in afghanistan. what is urgently need a bright now and what will really help? yeah, good morning. we urgently need to keep the foot on the very strong and largely scaled up humanitarian response. we still have unprecedented levels of food insecurity and malnutrition in afghanistan. they have never been seen before, almost 20000000 people. so that will be closely there for a 2nd, mary ellen and we're trying to get you back. but if you can still hear me, i can you tell us how much longer the international community can keep up this huge 8 effort because half the population i believe, is in need of help. according to sandra, how much longer can the incident, national community keep up the so if it, i mean,

if we need to keep up this effort as long as it's as it is required, and alongside that we need solutions that bring us off the, came out here the manager in peak, we need to stand by the people of afghanistan today and tomorrow. whether in an absolutely dire situation. 8 organizations have been worried about the misuse of contributions by the taliban. how are you dealing with that? yeah, i mean we, we, we have an extensive network across, across the country. we work with local partners, we work with local communities. we have over 700 monitors across the country. and we are very strict rules in terms of where our distributions are delivered, like no distribution without monitoring and no assistance without an assessments. and these are processes that we have developed over the year. a reporter also told us the situation is only going to get worse from where you're sitting. how. how would you analyze the situation now?

yeah, i mean, i think it's, it's, it, we're not seeing the signs up. we need to see for recovery. the harvest this year was not as good as we hoped because you still have in some areas back to buy, right. and the economic crisis continues and then the situation continues to deteriorate. and the longer in economic crisis goes on, you know, what, the worse it's getting for the people people's, you know, we're facing into another winter. and this is the 2nd winter. the capacity and the reserves of households are completely exhausted. and many, many households have just untenable levels of debt. the wilford programs, marilyn mc grody, they're on the dice situation in afghanistan, one year on, under the taliban school. thank you. and can you, the electoral commission is putting william brutal ahead of his made rival by loud dingo in the race to become the next president. officials of countered votes from almost all constituencies. the election had so far remained largely peaceful

violence following the vote in 2007 killed more than a 1000 people. d w's, marya and mueller went to the small town over to a guy in western kenya, where old ethnic conflicts may be flaring up again. kenya is on tenterhooks for days, the country has held its collective breath waiting for the official result. but his attention rose. so does the fear of violence, especially he and elder it, the stronghold of william, brutal so far it has remained largely peaceful. unlike in the village of chic iea, an hours drive from hell to rent. here many are packing their belongings. dozens of people are fleeing their homes. that, that to get a gold coins. i'm afraid to be here because i don't feel safe at this hour. you know, grow because of the tension and we don't know what happened next and always in odd . we still have crops, potatoes, and ms. know gone on. my line was what so much more. you. 3 houses had been burned

down since election day set on fire by unknown culprits. conjures house was among them. he doesn't want to be recognized for fear of reprisals, although they tried to break in but couldn't. they told me you will die like your father died in 2007 magic. then they torched the house. that's what they said. if you don't vote for router, you have to leave your homes and go back to where you came from. what william lou 2 belongs to the collision ethnic group, which forms the majority here. the perpetrators also spoke al engine credenza says his family is kick, who you? i, minority in this region. there has long been rivalry between the 2 groups in the village, mainly over land conflicts usually flare up during election season with. karen just brother is packing up in a hurry to leave the village. those who remain have armed themselves for 7, while the others walk article, but in 2007. this is how it started. they started burning houses and knocking off a little girl in one family, 7 people were killed in the end of a living,

people died in total, even my father. following the 2007 election ethnic violence killed more than 1000 people. the authority is preferred to keep quiet about the incidence and check iea as they fear. unrest could spread, but they have sent dozens of security forces to the village. second, visit with it as a government. that would be a thing for the id. actually the analysts and they would cover mental use all over in a sauce that 2nd available to to try to actually avoid the attacks. most challenging people don't want to speak to us except for these 2. they feel they're unfairly blamed as, as i think you come and what we don't know of the collision doing these things are just criminals. we don't really know because nothing has been investigated. can you election results expected in the coming days? this time around? everyone hopes that the violence in check i will remain the exception. let's bring in dw phillips,

the ringer in nairobi. it's day 6 after the election and no official result. what's taking so long a good morning. so the election processing can, is very complex. so each involves people casting votes and pulling center as of what's being counted or physically a form that you for a being filled at or pulling center for which now translates to the constituency telling center where the form that he for b is our field. and it's ticking physically to the national, telling center. so even if you're in the far flung areas of the country, you have to come and bring their from that he for be physically to the national telling center, which is now used to are by the national telling sense such a possible to tally the, to tell you all the results and feel them in their form that he foresee, and that is what is used to declare the final a presidential election. and whoever gets no majority of the boards, 50 plus one is elected,

but also either party agents of the different political parties have been causing chaos or their national pulling center. and the chairperson for the i, b. c were flexible. cutty actually called them out this week seeing that because of their cures and everything that was happening at their national pulling center. in fact police had to be called in at some point to quiet or they undressed. and that is what has been making the delay. but as we speak, the national telling center at is, is relatively empty as their whole verification process is done. so it's just a matter of time before we know who the president elect is. will at the moment william brutal is taking a slight lead over run our ding of 51 percent against 48 percent. that'd be enough to win. absolutely, it will be enough to wind, but they're fine. all calls will be made by their chairperson for the night for

their independent independent electoral boundaries commission. so until the chairperson has pronounced himself on the result, then they remain provisional results. but something else that needs to be noted is that relo dinger, the leader for the as a mere one, cannot coalition has a majority in parliament or there are there other elective seats? he's parliamentarians will be the majority. but also on the other hand, william router of kenner cleanser land has bugged himself, a majority in the senate assembly and also has a majority of the governors in the country as we speak. so there 2 of them seem to be dividing the house in the parliament and the senate equally, and now are william root or has an edge when it comes to the number of governors or county governors. that will be under his condition. so yes, it's just a matter of time trouble. katy is expected to probably or possibly declare the final presidential results if this afternoon. but the longer this takes and remember kenya has

a history of disputed elections. what are the likely scenarios once the results been declared? so the likely scenarios once the result is announced, is that if there is any candidate was bugged himself, the 50 percent plus one points, and then he'll be declared, president elect. if the other candidate is lord satisfied, then they have an opportunity to go to the supreme court, which will again make a ruling within the next 14 days. and 7 days after that, a president is announced. but our kenyans yesterday and i various religiously does, took to the pulpits to preach peace to preach restraint, and to ask people to continue being patient their, their constitutional deadline for the i, b. c. to announce the presidential election is to more or so can also just asked to maintain peaceful the calmness that has been experience in the past week. they were asked to just maintain that for the next few days. and even after the presidential

election has been announced, that is also a something. but if need be there to get to that 50 percent plus one, then in then in about 30 days than kenyans would most probably again, according to the constitution, go back to the pause and elect alida amongst the 2 leading presidential candidates . so glad that most of what's k some lengthy scenario is there. thank you folks. marina in. i robi, let's look at more stories making headlines around the world. the death toll in an explosion in our medias. capital yerevan as bryce risen to 5. the blast happened to the fireworks warehouse in a market area. leaving many shop has trapped in ravel explosions could still be heard as emergency services searched for survivors. a delegation of u. s. lawmakers has arrived in taiwan amid heightened tension with china following the visit of how speaker nancy pelosi aging used the self governing island as
