on are marking the day was televised prayers and speeches. but since their return to power, the former insurgents have presided over an economy in freefall lab in his own. i received my book. this has fueled one of the world's worst humanitarian disasters. as dw sandra paid us mon found out, i should warn you that the 1st images in this report are disturbing. ah, this is chassis 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, you see a newman jamita why she is suffering from both severe pneumonia and severe malnutrition. her pneumonia has actually caused her malnutrition, not slightly. my lucy model that essentially are lower. see that ethic as i feel, i am 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 set 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. landed, i 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 doing the verification in selection. but to 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 heaters 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 cobble. 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 on as mammy,

they are forced to beg. why else would we sit here all day again, as, as that a vision, vision, bill yak, thought that like i take the bread home and i eat it with my children. got them, 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 unique, but our stomachs are never full because of all of my name. me money, monet, theater, make money, bakery own i am your dell, half marty has registered around 1000 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 in of, of what that additional got them kitchen egg associate. i started this project out of a strong sense will be due autism because our people, our job, lucy morris, the international community has stopped their assistance for us that we are forced to fight for our people. i'm for our land to me about what that a, my, them all the thought that

a hockey mama but m a water. 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. how to brought 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 in this career status is costing african steely. the report there by dw sondra petersburg in cobble i asked her earlier if there's any prospect for improving the situation in afghanistan. well, the situation is really dire and there is no real indication as of now that things will improve right now. the word food program is feeding half the population. 20000000 people. that is and more and more people get jobs less because the economy

is crumbling. as collapsing, people are forced out of jobs. shops have to close down and with shops closing down . of course, people get sent home without money and the prices of living here are increasing for people and there are less and less people who can really afford good quality food. and so what you see here on the streets is an increasing number of beggars. and at the hospitals, you see an increasing number of children who have to be admitted to the amount of tricia woods and our hotly enough beds for every one. and we are looking at cobbler here at the capital where 8 is to reaching. just imagine how desperate the situation is and the remote countryside and how to reach areas. the tell above have been in power for a year now. do afghans willingly accept them as their legitimate government sandra? was they don't really have a choice. this is a taliban off. this is a government off the taliban for the taliban. and we were witness of

a demonstration of voice is off descent on saturday morning when a group of about 40 women assembled and the road that runs past the ministry of education and authorities here allowed them to march for approximately 500 meters. but then some taliban fighters started firing life shots to disperse this very small crowd, very brave women. and what is happening here that people just stay indoors, try to voice. they are concerned more on social media or behind wards because they are really afraid of these new rulers out there who know how to ruin with a gun, but don't really know how to serve a people in crisis that you've been covering up yellowstone for many years under what strikes you most about the country to day what i really find hard to come to terms with is that on the one side there is without a doubt increased security. i myself am the last couple of years i was here. i

couldn't walk the streets out of fear of suicide attacks or battles erupt in just like that because frontiers were so unclear. and now you can walk the street syrian cobbled. there are taliban checkpoints, every a few 100 meters and saw into your re do get checked, you have to show your papers. but the sense of security doesn't really transform to a better life for people. that economic crisis is all encompassing and fear in insecurity really have a firm hold of people. and a lot of women that we spoke to, especially women, really want to leave the country. i can still try. i can still remember one teacher who really tried almost on my shoulders, saying she finds it so hard to tell her as students that they cannot come back to school. and without schooling, there is no future for them in this country. chandler, thank you very much, shar correspondence angela peters mont. in couple, despite afghanistan's enormous problems,

the telephone or celebrating this anniversary is a day of conquest. journalist ali ltv was at one of the festa brawlers in cobble and join. just now ali, what did you see that raleigh? you know, we saw hundreds of the hollow barn and their supporter lined basically outside the massive walls that guarded where the former u. s. embassy were they were waving flags, they were talking a lot of excise. they were dancing, they were really in a joyous mood, you know, welcoming revelers, welcome onlookers, and just trying to display their happiness and their pride. any way you can, i mean, you have to remember this is a call a bond. so they're not necessarily known for carrying out joyous celebration for this is about, you know, i'm happy and joyful as you would probably see a group like that. but they definitely wanted to make their presence known in the

city. the television also held a federal commemoration ceremony. i understand what happened there. you know, it was a lot of speeches. it was a lot, a lot of talk about, you know, we've basically what other people were saying, what they were saying with their supporters and they themselves saying on the street, you know, we fried the country, we've ended enough. the patients we brought in the climate government were moving forward. we want to provide for the people, you know, it was, it was very wrote, very expected in that way. so why did you find ok? we'll leave it. generalist on tv in cobble, thank you very much. thank you. take a look at a few other stories making headlines around the world today. china says is his carried out more military drills around taiwan in response to a new visit by a group of us lawmakers to the self governing island. a congressional delegation

arrived in taipei and met taiwanese legislators just 2 weeks after a similar trip by house speaker nancy pelosi, anger, beijing. yon mars military junta has sentenced former leader on so. so she to 6 more years in prison on corruption charges. she had already been sentenced to 11 years on similar charges since her ousting in february last year. analysts say the charges are an attempt to legitimize the military's seizure of power. to run his denied any involvement in an assault on author, someone rusty, iran's foreign ministry distance itself from the new york stabbing attack, but blamed rusty and his supporters. for insulting islam. the author is the target of a decades old fall issued by iran's late leader. i had told out rolla fun meaning kenya is inching closer to finding out who is who it's next president will be with the

electoral commission provisionally putting william roto ahead of his main rival rider dingo. we've got live pictures here of the national tallying center in nairobi where they're expecting an announcement any time soon. the boat has been largely peaceful in contrast to the post election balance of 2007, in which more than a 1000 people died. let's bring in felix marengo. here he is. our correspondence standing by force in nairobi . it's a, it's quite the nail biter felix. we've been waiting now for a couple of hours for these results for the things to have now are we asked seal 11th hour. the result is yet to be announced, and it still very people still don't know who the exact presidential candidates

is and who their president elect will be. bats are, but they're into independent electoral boundaries. commission had said will make an announcement at 3 pm eastern african time. ah, we have been waiting. it's already for $413.00 p. m. eastern contain. and yet no announcement has been made. we've seen several lee does stream into their bomb us of can or is the national telling center. so this is where their presidential result will be announced. and so we just wait because already had said, they'll announce at 3 pm. it's already an hour plus later. and they have not yet announced, but theses the day. what about the boat counting processor hasn't been transparent above board felix while the vote counting processes given ah, a clean bill by the observers who have been observing their elections from different

organizations from the european union. the african union and the east african community. however, it's important to note that the national tiling center, there was a little bit of chaos as agents of the different political parties are engaged in wides and i, there seemed to be confrontations. he and there, but at least nobody fought within the telling center. there was a little bit of confrontation. but the good thing is, all the information or all the votes that were cast. all the information has been put on a public portal where everybody's able to access so nothing can be changed either. for myself can you always there? and just the final telling center and where the presidential i result is actually on the presidential certificate runner is issued. yeah, we're seeing soma, pictures there of some pushing and shoving at that, telling center. we know that there was election, there was violence following elections in the past. our kenyans expected to accept the result of this selection. it's still too early to tell with

a canaan suite. i agree to the result of the election course they do not know who it's these are the moment, but religiously dies. even the 2 leading presidential candidates. yes. that day during the chat services they called for peace, they called for kenneth to exercise restraint. and we hope that kenneth will actually head to the called by the really justly does by the civil societies and by the 2 leading presidential candidates broccoli, exercise restraint. once the, once the final results has been announced, so it's just a case of wait and see. we do not know yet what will happen. but yeah, as a, as it is, let's wait and see what happens immediately. that result is i noticed felix, thank you very much for now. that was our correspond. felix marina in nairobi, ukraine's president vladimir zalinski has again called for european countries to introduce a ban on baez's for russian tourists. his appeal has been echoed by estonia and

finland, 2 european countries that share borders with russia. they want all states in the european union to stop issuing tourist visas, to holders of russian passports. you countries are divided over the propose you member state lithuania, also borders, russia, the w's, constantine, egg asked lithuanian foreign minister, gabriella us, lawns, bagus what he thinks of the proposal. new thing has made this decision quite quite early. and also, not only just because of the political reasons, but also because of the practical, this was the thing is that when the war started in the scene, it felt a huge influx of people who were seeking for shelter, running away from prosecution bead from from bellows which, i mean, so it's a long time ago, i mean, i just went to you. yes. 2020, almost 2 years now. and also from, from russia, from moscow. so,

and knowing that counselor capacities limited means that people can issue only so many business. so basically you have to answer yourself a very simple question. could you issue a visa 1st? is it a family of, of a, you know, n g o or a member who might be persecuted, whose father or mother is being persecuted or some tourist, you know, who wishes to spend a few lovely days by lithonian seashore? so the answer is obvious. so we've, we've basically stopped or visit ations to people who would go for recreation. and the only reasons that are issued is the human tarion cause business. so for us, this is not a new debate, and obviously we support that. it would be a european decision. because as you know, what shaken works like that, basically it's a porous borders. it means that people entering one finland, dishes,

a visa to someone than the company exact. and we've seen those cases as well. people who are not supposed to be independent, they are suddenly finding themselves in anything new, all in other countries. so that happens. so we would totally support the european decision. and then yes, obviously there is a political side of the question in the morning question. and when we understand that the people were forced to flee ukraine, some of them are remaining, they're fighting for their lives. fighting therefore for their homes. while the country who is at war is still free to the people from the country, feel free to, to travel and enjoy all the amenities of the free world. basically which their government is fighting against a shift carrying grain for ethiopia has set off from ukraine. it's the 1st ukranian famine relief, cargo bound for africa. since the start of the war, 16 ships carrying grain have had safe passage so far through the black sea, under

a deal drawn up by the united nations and turkey. dw mateus burning a reports now from use not on the black sea loading 23000 tons of grain. this ship, the brave commander, arrived at the port of p den in 2 days ago. the car was destination. is it fuel pia? the u. n's world food program ordered the shipment, the 1st human italian food age shipment, leaving ukraine since the beginning of the war. we trust that this is just the beginning of many ships that will be leaving. am 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. the route 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 g 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 bring you mind that the much a lot of what you 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 i sent into ukrainian pause are still sailing into a war zone. what did you study or were you not?

the goal is to have 5 ships a day coming in and out of ukrainian ports. but that remains some way off. there's like a smother new stories to day. germany's gas market operator has announced a levy on natural gas prices starting from october 1st, the $2.00 cent per kilowatt hour. levy means an average family of 4 could pay around $500.00 euros more per year. levy is meant to help gas importers cope with soaring prices, caused by cuts and russian supplies. and shipping companies in germany are preparing for the worst has water levels on the rhine river dropped to critical levels. authorities, warren, many vessels will be unable to navigate the key shipping. if levels drop, what were further? a drought across europe has left many rivers running dry. germany and poland have set up a joint task force to deal with

a burgeoning ecological disaster that's affecting a major river bordering both countries. they want to find out what's caused mysterious death of thousands of fish in the river odor upstream on the polish side of the border. the dial 1st spark concern about the wider impact on the river and wild life downstream. mac that inevitably have skies on the lookout. the conservationist is searching for dead fish in the water is nothing about this chemical. it harms the fish, but also all the fonts in the river and we fear that it will penetrate into the earth. the whole area is assistant of water canals. this chemical can flow into the marsh land through this water. not only aquatic organisms live there, but also mammals and many birds. fornia thought the wave of that fish is getting closer. 20 kilometers from here. fire fighters are pulling dead fish out of the water. there are still only a few here, but a bit further up stream. it looked like this the previous day. it's still unclear

what caused the mass deaths. german and polish water samples have shown high levels of salts. the polish government suspects that chemical waste was dumped into the river. critics say the polish side has reacted too slowly. too high ranking officials have since been dismissed by poland, prime minister, with my ministers from germany, and poland to have met to try to agree on a joint approach. he's got you with with other people. i love you fully doors who hold political responsibility must provide clarity on this environmental disaster to minimize the damage to identify the perpetrators. young. i hope this meeting today has made a real contribution in that direction by a task and i stood, shall know the results of the water samples will be shared and discussed together. all of mario's murder shows the meeting. we agreed on faster decision making and an appropriate course of action for the hours and days ahead. huh. on the german side

of the rivers estuary, the situation is relaxed. the disaster is not yet visible here, but things could change soon. sports our and by and munich have continued their strong start to the bonus laker season with a to nail when ever a ball spoke. the defending champs are top of the table and it's becoming clear they have a teen star on their hands. here's look at the match by and fans were in fine voice for their 1st home game of the season. they welcome back form a coach, nico covert who's now in charge of all spoke. and the visitors started in promising fashion. patrick them are almost forcing an own goal from boyens alphonso davies. the host true 1st blood though jamal marcial or missing a brilliant individual effort in the 33rd minutes. the germany international showing great perseverance and skill for his 3rd goal of the campaign.
