and sure, full of hardships a 3 years and that wouldn't change the world forever. my jillions journey around the world, starting september 7th on d. w. ah, this is the w news line from berlin, italy, by mark a year since i takeover of afghanistan. talib, i'm fine to sing and celebrate in the streets as millions of afghan struggle with severe hunger, thinking economy and the loss of women's rights. also on the program, canyons pray for peace as i await the results of

a cliff hanger presidential election. the almost all votes county deputy president william router has taken a slim leaped. i'm mystery surround a mass fish die off and a river between germany and poland. now a joint task force is investigating a growing ecological disaster. ah, i'm so gale. welcome to the program. to date marks a year since the taliban regained control of the afghan capital ending 20 years of us led military intervention almost overnight. a year ago today, thousands of people fled to cobbles, air force as the taliban closed in trying to board any play that would take them to day. the fall about marking the event were televised prayers and speeches. but since their return to power, the former insurgents are presided over an economy in freefall,

which is fueled one of the world's worst humanitarian disasters. sandra patterson's report contains images that you may find disturbing. ah, this is chassis at b, b. o. she was born just before the taliban returned to power, shall he has strep between 2 curses that challenged the best efforts of doctors hearing cobble with trying to help her. he is here, newman jamita, why she is suffering from both severe pneumonia and severe malnutrition. her pneumonia has actually caused her malnutrition lot, slightly multi model that essentially, i don't know who that is because 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 want to be filmed,

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 madison. half of afghanistan's people are experiencing acute food insecurity, that's 20000000 people who are so hungry, their lives are at risk as we drive to cobble facts and figures become faces. this is one of the weird food program centers in the east of the city, florida. i've got a project manager of a 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 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 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, get us as that a vision, vision vill yak? thought that like i take the bread home and i eat it with my children. 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 monet 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 in of, of that additional got them kitchen egg associate. 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 assistant for us that we are forced to fight for our people. i'm for aligned to my but what that a my, them all the thought that a hawk m omega 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 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 their resume. this per status is costing ask and steely all our report from sandra pet. osman, who joins us now from a cobble. oh, welcome. a sandra a year on then from the taliban take over. what are the countries prospects for improvement from the current terrible situation? i can't see improving any time soon because what we hear today from the u. s. is that they won't unfreeze the national assets that are frozen in the united states. so we're talking about $7000000000.00 here. and without the recovery of afghanistan's banking system, without investment coming in from outside, without taking back,

the mess of 8 cap backs that are hampering the situation here. i can't see the situation improving and i myself and wondering for how long the international community, especially the white food program under these circumstances, faced with sanctions, can keep up with feeding half the population. that is 20000000 people with taliban have been celebrating, what they've described was the liberation of the country. is that the way afghans say it? i mean, just take a look at the streets today. what you see on the streets is taliban fighters on their ranger pick up cars, fully geared without arms, some having colorful garlands round the neck in a very celebratory mood. but if you look at the people at the citizens of afghanistan's, most of them to day chose to stay indoors having family time as this was declared a public holiday by the taliban. so essentially, right now, what we are having is a defacto government by the taliban for the polish taliban and voices of dissent

are not really appreciated. are not allowed. i mean, amnesty international has today released to reports are indicating cases of torture, of arbitrary detention, of lawlessness, of, you know, and committing crimes without being charged for it on the site of the taliban. and people here that is the sense that i'm getting, especially in cobb with, they're really afraid to voice their descent. and if they do so, they choose to do it behind wards or on social media. it's a little bit different if you go to the countryside. i mean, we have been traveling to water doc, which is a province that used to be a major battle ground. when u. s. forces were still here, an area that saw a lot of air rates and drones try again. night rates and people, they're telling you that they are happy that the war is over. so the improved security is something that they really appreciate. yet still the economic situation is hitting them hot and one women told me you used to kill us with bullets. and now

you're killing us with sanctions. right, so it afghan is found is that is a country with a history of strife that mr. bay, or the nater pull out was just the end of the latest phase of ugh, what about way you've been covering afghanistan for, for many years of what strikes you are most about the country now? i mean, right now what i really am struggling with to understand is that increased sense of security that many people are experiencing. but that comes at a very high price. i mean, yes, the war is over, but it doesn't transform to better life conditions for the people. and the people are really in the grip of a very dire economic situation. and the projection is that it will get worse over time because the international community is not willing to unfreeze assets because they don't want to strengthen the government that is led by the taliban on the

taliban. on bear side, they are claiming that they are striving for self reliance, but without international help. i can't see them getting anywhere. they might have experience in leading and winning and in search and see. but the clearly don't have the experience to serve people in need. and people in afghanistan are in dire need because half the population here is really acutely food insecure. and depending on for innate. thank you that sandra and sandra paths, moving cobble germany had the 2nd biggest contingent of the light nato lagged mission in afghanistan until last year's hasty withdrawal. now a parliamentary commission is looking into what went wrong and who's to blame. as the taliban takeover of cobble unfolded and made, sometimes chaotic scenes, germany did manage to get more than 5000 people out of the country. but many local agents who worked with german forces were therefore at risk of being targeted by the taliban, one back behind,

on 380 of them and their families are still waiting to leave. the country were pleased to be able to talk to ralph stagnant and i was a member of the german parliament ice heading parliamentary inquiry into the withdrawal of german forces from afghanistan. a welcome to d w. can we start with those guns who helped the german military, who was still there a year after the bundis van and left the why are they still there? and what was the last you heard of them for their different numbers? re her re here. that's us to left and i think we should use all the new cherry and possibilities. we have to have them come over because they supported our work in afghanistan. they did that. it was a lot of risk for themselves. and although we managed to have a lot of people come to come here, still, we should have them who are still living. and i've gone to son want to comment. and

besides our parliamentary commission, we'll have to look into the reasons for what was promised to those people. why didn't it didn't work as it did for other countries? what were the misperceptions and the misjudgments that were made? and that's the task of, in the parliamentary democracy that we have to do. ok, so you have to go through this, this process of gathering evidence and it's been a year you've been looking at the situation and what, what are your thoughts a so far? where do you think the german withdrawal went so wrong? or maybe the secret service of many countries were wrong with their assumptions for what happened when the russians left the county and it took 2 and a half years until the attorney took over here. it took just a couple of days and maybe it was also wrong to think that with the central government that was also very corrupt that you could manage to get by in the

country that has a wall odds and truck commonality and very ancient society and outside of couple anyway, and therefore maybe people are right to say neither the british nor the russians know the americans and the allies really got to know the country. right. you mentioned the bit is the russians, the americans and the allies. let's talk about germany. so you've talked about security services, you say that security services got it wrong, you would, you include the german security services within that. and presumably you also accused the german security services failing to anticipate the way that the government collapsed so quickly. right? that at least is an assumption after. busy can true, i don't want to jump to conclusions before we heard the witnesses and saw all the files that we. ready can get but as it seems,

it maybe it was not that the african trucks were too weak. but rather than that, a majority of the people welcome to turn it back. and that was a mis assumption or sign up to see that coming. and we have to see why that happened, and there are more countries, so we'll look into that. they are straight, it does in the netherlands to, to learn from the mistakes because it can always happen again that we have to get out another country where our soldiers are. and you have to think we're talking about 20 years, a lot of money and 50000 soldiers and a lot of people to try to help. and this was a really catastrophe in the last days. but i hope we get a chance to speak again when your committee reports. for now though, s p d member of jim palmer, ralph stegman. thank you so much. thank you. a former african

president, how many cars i chose to remain in capital when the taliban seized power, the new rule is restricted, his movements effectively, placing him under house arrest. speaking exclusively to a dw sandra pettus. man, he talked about the importance of education in these countries, future development, lack of education means poverty, lack of education fargo's means lack of abilities. lack of education for goes means that half of the society at least half of the society, at least because if it goes or not educated, men are also undermined abilities. therefore, at least off of society not being able to produce and participate to 2nd, sexually. we can, we can and deprived of got a son. and he can watch that exclusive interview with former african president. how many cars i hear on the w after this policy or head over to our youtube channel

address is that on your screen. we'll take a look now add some more stories of making headlines around the world. and china says it is carried out more military drills around taiwan in response to a new visit by us lawmakers to the self governing island. a congressional delegation arrived in taipei and met taiwanese legislators that just 2 weeks after a similar trip my house speak at nancy pelosi and angered beijing. in mars, military gender has sentence the country's former leader, uncensored she to 6 more years in prison, on corruption charges. she's already been sentenced to 11 years on similar charges since she was removed from power in february last year, and less say the charges are an attempt to legitimize the military seizure of power to run has denied any involvement with an assault on offer. salman rushdie, the country's foreign minister ministry diff distance itself from the new york stabbing,

but blamed as the salman anti support for insulting islam. the author is the target of a decades old fat were issued by iran's late leader, ayatollah hominy. i to kenya where the actual commission has professionally indicated that presidential candidate william router is ahead of his main rival, riley, or dingo. that is a life pictures of the national actor. usually i'm expecting a live pictures. these are just pictures of the national tallying center in nairobi where an announcement is expected. so the roads be largely peaceful in contrast to the post election violence of 2007, which more than a 1000 people died lester, date of the correspondent of felix and the ringer in iran in the canyon capital nairobi. welcome felix, a. when to expect a final result. well, on their chairperson for their independent electoral boundaries,

commission had said that they will announce that 3 pm is suffolk on time. right now . it's about 2 hours, 17 minutes. alexa, they've not yet announced, but something funny has been happening inside the national, telling center. so as long as there were 2 sides are where different political party people had seated. so on the side of there's the meal coalition, people have started walking out. people are driven out and one of the chief agents for the as the meal coalition has actually had a press conference just outside the ball myself, kenya, and said that the bombers of kenya was a scene of crime because they, i independent electoral boundaries commission. i be says system were hocked, i was hocks rather, but those are still and verified comments. we will wait to see whether after whatever proclamation will be made in a short while, whether they will be taking the next steps which is possibly going to the supreme

court to challenge whatever result it is. but that is what has been happening. so one fade of their demure coalition, people have walked out some, some are some of their, a members of parliament, governors, senators who had come in anticipation. they have actually walked out and driven out of their premise rail verse of kenya coins or which is deputy president william router said i now seated and enjoying that music that is going on in there inside that there auditorium. and so, just so i'm clear, felix the allegation, as you say, unsubstantiated at this point. the allegation is that the electoral commission's systems have been hot. so is that it? are people saying that the votes going in are, are perhaps a suspect all but some communication within the electoral commission itself has been compromised. so he didn't expound much, but he just said that their system that was used to tally their final result was

hacked. and so if, if this is them that was being used was hocked, then they are probably pointing towards a malpractice, an election might malpractice which is again still al substantiated because within wait to see what the next course of action will be for the as the meal coalition on site, we were still waiting to see whether they'll actually proceed to the supreme court to challenge whatever decision will be made here. so we're just waiting because then osmond has not yet been made. but there's the meal coalition. members have actually walked out of the bull myself, can yeah. ok. thank you for out. felix felix marina. in nairobi, the ukranian president of all of them is lansky has repeated his call for european countries to introduce a ban on visas for russian tourists. his appeals been echoed by estonia and finland, 2 european countries at cher borders with russia. they're calling for all

e u member states to stop issuing taurus fusions to russian passport holders. you countries, however, are divided on the issue. and if you amy as a member of the european union, which also borders russia, t w's constantine again asked their foreign minister, gabriella sat lance baggers for his thoughts on this proposal. the thing has made this decision quite, quite early. and also, not only just because of the political reasons, but also because of the practical reasons. the thing is that when the war started, anything they felt huge influx of people who are seeking for shelter running away from persecution bead from from bellis, which i mean. so it's a long time ago. i mean, i just went to 2020, almost 2 years now. and also from, from russia, from us go so, and knowing that console capacity is limited means that people can issue only so

many business. so basically you have to answer yourself a very simple question. could your issue have either 1st, is it a, a family of, of a book you know, n g o or a member who might be persecuted? who was 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, it was obvious. so we've, we've basically stopped or visit ations to people who would go for recreation. and the only reason that i issued is the military and cause visas. 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 sharon works like that, that basically is a porous borders. it means that people entering one fin, the dishes, a visa to someone than the someone make somebody exact. and we've seen those cases as well. people who are not supposed to be independent. they are suddenly finding

themselves in, in the senior, 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. one more 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 was at war is still free to the people from the country still free to, to travel and enjoy all the amounts of the free world, basically which their government is fighting against it's rain is for mrs. talking to date of his constantine exit. no germany and poland have set up a joint task force to deal with an ecological disaster affecting a major if the board has both countries and will to find out the cause of the deaths of thousands of fish and the river oda upstream on the polish side of the border that off of sparked concerns about the potential impact on river and wildlife. a downstream mac,

that inevitably skies on the lookout. the conservationist is searching for dead fish in the waters of this nature park and northwestern. poland. so far she hasn't spotted any, but she is very worried. blemish at the god, we know nothing about this chemical. it harms the fish, but also all the fun on the river and we fear that it will penetrate into the earth with it. the whole area is assistant of water canals. this chemical can flow into the marsh land through this water. not only aquatic organisms lived 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's 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, going to get with prime ministers from germany and poland have meant to try to agree on a joint approach. he's got you booked with other people. i love you for the dog. those 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 task and i stood, shall know the results of the water samples will be shared and disgust together go . oh my gosh, murder shows the meeting. we agreed on faster decision making and an appropriate course of action for the hours and days ahead. humor, on the german side of the rivers estuary, the situation is relaxed. the disaster is not yet visible here, but things could change soon. in football by a munich of continued
