5:06 pm
facts and figures become faces. this is one of the wet food program centers in the east of the city, london. 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 there. 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 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
5:07 pm
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 and on as we amy, they are forced to beg. why else would we sit here all day again as, as that a vision, vision vill 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 stomach, somebody. i divide the bread and pieces and give it to my children so that none of them dies make, but our stomachs are never full because of allah. my name may muddy monee is here to 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,
5:08 pm
of that additional got them catch on ag associate. i started this project out of a strong sense of be draw to them because our people, our job, lucy morris, the international community has stopped their assistance for us. i don't, we are forced to fight for our people. i'm for our land to know what that a, my, them all of that of hawk m omega m a water. zack wanted atkins 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 status is costing ask and steal. let's have a look at this river, neither neither re who is a senior advisor to the former afghan president and the lead negotiator in the d.
5:09 pm
doha talks with the taliban, which led to the withdrawal of u. s. forces in the eventual takeover of the country. a by the taliban of welcome to d. w. can we start with at that point about the afghan assets being held abroad? $7000000000.00 from the afghans central bank currently frozen in the us. so we just saw from the report, millions of people in your country facing starvation a should the us just return those funds. all. thank you very much. as you reported today, and it is today a day of morning and the day of darkness for almost all of our funds across the world and in the country. so need to be recognized as the collective pain of where wherever they are. and because of what's happening today,
5:10 pm
no one is called and marked in our history as the darkest day a year on. now coming to the issue with needs of the, the reserve funds, the reserve friends are the property and the capital belong to the people that live on the field create systems and in the stand that the real power lies within the hands of the people and their lives and it will only be based on peoples acceptance. they have failed so far to gain that legitimacy, boat 1st, the hive of people and then to look into national partners. okay, so the address, the, the point reading of my question, which is this is afghan money. we have to accept that afghanistan is now led by a group that we the, even if we don't particularly agree with them, they are the country's leaders. so should that $7000000000.00 that belongs to the
5:11 pm
country be returned to the country's government? not because there is no government that could be recognized or accept it, but there is an obligation to this many not to be spent any other purpose. and therefore, they need to be a mechanism to which independent utilization of that one, not for 10, very short term food purchases, but more for how to stabilize the economy itself. and that cannot go to the town itself because they are not putting in place an independent impartial central bank . and it could be used for purposes that would not get again to the population. and therefore, we must be careful. the funds must be the restrictions on transaction between the private banks and its national banks need to be relaxed and therefore this fund to be used not as increasing or injecting leg with you because then it
5:12 pm
will have a longer term consequences. ones that are going to be their friends, the reserves are spent that i've been parents have the only backing which is this reserve. and then if that is the spend, that poverty will go so far and will sustain itself because the depreciation that happened currency will follow with that, it taught to say how much further the poverty could go under the present sanctions . afghanistan remains and internationally unrecognized to perish state. is it now time for the international community to do what it can to help the afghan people, even if it doesn't like afghanistan. government indeed, there are ways the national community can support the avalon people, not the not the, the group are going to fax to a courtesy. therefore,
5:13 pm
utilizing those means that includes setting up a trust fund like one reconstruction plan before, but not to be channeled through the government because they are not all people just a point on your own. a role within the country. you spend something like 2 decades helping to build afghanistan's democratic structures and civil institutions, but they collapsed almost as soon as the us withdrew and the taliban returned. why was i so fragile after 20 years? well, there are at least 3 factors into the 1st factor in nature of any will to take in the 1st thing they do, because they don't own legitimacy with the people they destroy any foundation for the democratic institutions. and that is, in our case, they're not to find the constitution which was debased for the democratic institution. second is our fear. throughout the past 20 years,
5:14 pm
we could not build resilient institution that they could sustain some of which are they're taking the civic institution, the civil society, some of these women courageously. yesterday today they still being on the street, they the mom, their rights are some of those seats that were planted. and the average woman i've turned to become a woman, right? stronger resilience that the community based structures do still exist. but institutions are formally that fail. and her, it is the international community, there was always the short term one year plan for 20 times. that was looking in both in terms of there are institution building, but also in terms of the longer term democratic commencement. there was was almost declining as we were moving. unfortunately,
5:15 pm
we were today of the class. plenty of blame to go around. thank you so much for giving us your time. not on the dairy senior advisor before i've gone present. thank you. thank you. we bring it back to our top story. the much anticipated the election results in kenya. william router has been declared that one of elections that took place almost a week ago formally can use deputy president to run a type of contested rights against the opposition leader. right. i think this is a speaking now. scuffles broke out just ahead to be a nice with the federal election official site. then we can test results. let's do a database corresponding to phoenix marine got who's in nairobi. welcome, felix. so talk us through what we know of the results. so, kenya has a new president, william some way router is the president elect. he granted
5:16 pm
a $7150000.00 votes that the, representing around 50.49 percent of their total votes cost. and that is, that is all to that, the chairperson of the, in independent electoral boundaries commission has used to declare william, brutal as the president elect william router is the incumbent was before this particular moment, was there incumbent deputy president. and now he changes at the mantel of office. he's now been elect if now been given the mantle of office to lead kenya for the next 5 years. now william, brutal um, has a deputy by the name regarding a chicago, and the 2 individuals used the hustler narrative, which seemed to appeal more to the young people who are much as it's not so many of them that came out to would they still the duel was able to get $50.00, which was ah, more than what was required because the requirement was 50 percent of the total
5:17 pm
votes cast. and i'm plus just one. what as you can see behind me the screen over there, that's deputy press. are there president elect addressing canons? and he has said that in the cell in this particular election, these non loser, all of them are canyons. and he's called on a fellow competitors to come on board and walk together, which is something that we may probably be seeing in the next few days as a router takes their mantle of office. so this pay this way for his swearing in should their lecture not be contested. he will be sworn in, in about the next 14 days and after that he will now be kanyes, 5th president. okay, so 50.49 percent of the vote are but the vote has been contested. tell us about are the concerns that have been raised so that as the
5:18 pm
meal coalition side, which if agent and just before the result was announced, came out and addressed the press and said that i that i, b, c, c, stamps, had been hacked. and i, that woman of kenya was a crime scene. we also saw some of the disgruntled as immune coalition members inside of a bomb as well mass telling hall i throw chairs and it was an ugly sin inside i the bomb us of kenya. but that did not stop at the announcement of a result, of course, or for other commissioners have again also addressed the press just before this particular announcement, and said that this there is also at the election and the results generally. why collected in a no pick manner. they didn't go into the details, but they said after this particular declaration, they will be giving more details about they'll pick less of their electron. so we shall be waiting to see what the details will be. and whether this details will
5:19 pm
actually find their way to the supreme court. so we have an act, we have the allegation that the electoral commission systems were hacked. we have our members of the electoral commission saying that they did, but they will not stand by the vote. was that has there been an official response from the electoral commission to these allegations? there hasn't been an official announcement or a response or cause there fast activity by the electra commission chair, pass on was to announced their president elect, and that is what has just taken place. the president, president elect william, brutal has just been handed over this certificate that is formed that you 40, which is the national all declaration form that he's duly elected as president. so 3 commissioners, i stand by the result for commissioners do not stand by the result. so call me soon as do not stand by the result. so we wait to see what, what happens after these
5:20 pm
a cause. it looks like the commission is divided by a half, but as it is, kenya has a new president and the president elect is william some way brutal. thank you for that. felix favorites were ringer in nairobi or germany in poland have set up a joint task force to deal with an ecological disaster affecting a major river that borders both countries and want to find out the cause of the deaths of thousands of fish in the river. oda upstream on the polish side of the border, the doff of spot concerns about the potential impact on the river and wildlife 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 about how much at the goals we know nothing about this
5:21 pm
chemical. it harms the fish, but also all the fun on 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 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 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 reactive to slowly. 2 high ranking officials have since been dismissed by poland prime minister to get with my ministers from germany and poland to have met to try to agree on a joint approach with,
5:22 pm
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 it's not good. 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. thomas anesco from poland green party is in us, no new bosky, as a town not far from the river odor. welcome to d w. how serious is this disaster for the river and the communities around it?
5:23 pm
it's, it's very serious. we couldn't really overestimate the consequences that this disaster is going to happen in communities. wow. what you basically have to day is that the river, and you can imagine what that means for people who are involved in, in fishing tourism and recreation industries. or in used a river ester background to the they are daily activities. right? it seems unthinkable that, that a pollution incident of this size could have happened without anybody knowing what, who was or what was responsible and without anyone sort of putting their hands up. i'm sorry, yes. sorry about that. we did this. yes, it's especially outrageous because that's the green party, paul, and we are dealing with cases like that on a daily basis. not of this magnitude perhaps and cases would not park that much interest from when the media and public opinion. but this is, this is hardly surprised. i think this was the disaster in making we've been
5:24 pm
getting with, with the tuition where the current radical right wing government driven by either logical hostility towards the nature preservation. and there are mental conservation. and they've been engaged in massive project of the drenching and deepening the river and building the rector, returning the wild river into shipping shipping channel. and the consequences like what we see today, we're just going to happen. and is this a region that has industrial plants or chemical plants, so heavy industry in it the upper surface of the river? yes, this is, this is the founder of polish industrial regions. and there are many potential sources of operation and, and i can imagine it will be very difficult to pinpoint which of those was
5:25 pm
responsible for this, for this situation, assuming that the k, this is the single band, single cape worst, some business, some, some factory. indeed, really talk that they were given what you've said about poland government at the moment you must be very pleased that this is going to be a joint investigation between poland and germany. if we are, we were in agreement with those who are calling points and asked me to ask the question to this to this case because we have very little confidence in their work being carried out by the government we. we have a long history with them hiding and misleading the public opinion, preventing ball information and, and planing, lying to, to publish the present and to our partners in other countries of the european union . thank you so much for joining us to mash initiative from poland green party.
