9:06 pm
as the insurgents closed in thousands of people fled to cobbles airport, trying to warn any plane that would take them. a taliban have been marking the anniversary with televised prayers and speeches, but since their return to power, the former and surgeons have presided over an economy and freefall, which has fueled one of the world's worst humanitarian disasters. sandra pet osman is d w correspondent on the ground and to our viewers at home. please be advised that her report contains images you may find disturbing. ah, this is chassis at b, b. o. she was born just before the taliban returned to power. shit's, yes. trip between 2 curses that challenged the best efforts of doctors hearing cobble with trying to help her you see a newman jamita why she is suffering from both severe pneumonia and severe
9:07 pm
malnutrition. her pneumonia has actually caused her malnutrition much lacy melissa model. that essentially probably knows who that is because i, for them the prognosis of children like her with severe malnutrition is not very good as they gross development. and intelligence may be affected. list of those on the home that was it. 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 set and no money for medicine. oh, half of afghanistan's people are experiencing acute foot and charity. 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 wet food program centers in the east of the city. glad i got
9:08 pm
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 and 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 cobble. if we visit a bakery in the north. people with money buy fresh bread for dinner. sometimes they
9:09 pm
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 mammy, they are forced to beg. why else would we sit here all day again as, as that a vision vision will. yeah. 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, make it, 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 $1000.00 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 what that additional got them catch on ebay so, so i started this project out of a strong sense will be due autism because our people are job lucie,
9:10 pm
florida. the international community has stopped their assistance for us. i don't, we are forced to fight for our people. i'm for aligned to know what that a, my, them, all of that hockey mama but m a water. zack wanted africans 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 him. this per status is costing ask and steely a report from santa pate us man, who joins us now from kabul. sondra good to see you. a year on from the taliban take over afghanistan. overseas assets remain blocked. humanitarian aid flows from abroad have decreased significantly. is there any chance of ghana stan can get out
9:11 pm
of this misery without more help from outside? i don't think so and it's really a very desperate situation. and as we heard today from sources and the united states, the u. s. are not thinking of releasing the frozen fans any time soon. that is $7000000000.00 off of gun askance national assets and without cash coming into the country without the banking system here being restored without investment in this crumbling economy. i fear that more people will go hungry and already, as we have seen in the report, the word food program is providing food a to about 20000000 people. and i personally am wondering how long can they sustain this? how long can the worth sustain to feet? half of the african population with so many other crisis going on in the world? yo covered have got us out for many years and i remember when we 1st met you were gushing about how fascinating you find the country. how much of the of ghana stan
9:12 pm
you came to know is left today. i still find this country extremely fascinating, especially its people. what i really admire about the africans is their extreme resilience. i mean, we're looking at a country that has been in conflict and war for over 4 decades and to still carry on living to still trust journalists like me, sharing stories and talking to us though the taliban clearly are disliking dissent . i think that this takes a lot of guts. let me just give you one example. on saturday, we were covering a small protest of brave women venturing out in the streets about 40 of them, assembled in front of the ministry of education, demanding the right to work, the right to education, the right to food. and then they were allowed to march for about 500 meters, i would say. and then some taliban fighters started to shoot life rounds in the air
9:13 pm
to disperse the crowds. and a couple of women got taken in and also journalist got arrested despite all of this, people are still talking to us sharing their stories. and as i find incredibly brave to day, the taliban have been celebrating what they describe as the liberation of their country. how do the people you've been talking to feel about that? it really depends very much who you speak to here in cobble in the capital. there is a great sense of abandonment, especially when you speak to women. i can remember a teacher literally crying on my shoulder saying she finds it so hard to tell her female students, the teenage girls that they cannot come back to school and there is no sign that girls schools, secondary schools will open anytime soon. i can remember a student who is out of school since 2 years, 1st due to corona and then because of the taliban school been and she is really at
9:14 pm
a loss she is experiencing dark days. she is bought out of her skull and quoting her now, and she wanted to become a doctor and now she really fears for her future. she thinks she doesn't have a future in this country. but then as her trevor to the countryside, we also visited a province called wild duck, which saw heavy fighting during the last 2 decades. a lot of error rates, night rates drone strikes. and i spoke to a really outstanding women there. and she told me, look, what we have now is at least peace and we can carry on with our lives and, and for her, this increased sense of security is more quality of life though she also despises the taliban school been and then she added another thing saying you used to call us with bullets and drones, and now you're killing us with sanctions at western ally than the former afghan government and try and to install and strengthen democratic institution for 2
9:15 pm
decades looking back, why do you think those structures turn out to be so fragile, i think there's a sir question that also a german parliamentary commission of inquiry soon looking into. if you want to take my personal note, i think we really have to look back at the beginning of this intervention barely a month after the 911 attacks. when the intervention started, it was taking sites in an actor severe war going on in afghanistan, excluding the taliban from any kind of decision making in this really back fi it. because what you saw is, on the one hand, trying to trying to build up institutions. and then on the other side, you saw on the international community waging a war against terror at these 2 things really never liked. plus, there was a great deal of corruption and the state was never really able to stand on its own feet. it needed all the money from the western world. and now with that money being
9:16 pm
cut off, you see a state crumbling. i'm a pet us man and cobble thank you so much. while afghan president asher kani fled the country, when the talbot rolled into cobble his predecessor hammond cars, i chose to stay in the capital. he hoped to be able to act as a mediator with the militants. the new rulers restricted his movements and placed them under effect of house arrest and an exclusive interview. he spoke to d. w about the vital role of education in afghanistan's future development. lack of education means poverty. lack of education for girls means lack of abilities. lacoff education for girls means half of the suicide. at least half of the society, at least because of girls are not educated. men are also undermined abilities. therefore, at least off of society, not being able to produce and participate better sex sexually weakened, weaken,
9:17 pm
and deprived of garrison. and he's launched the full exclusive interview with former ask, i'm president on a car, is i on our youtube channel. the address should be here on your screens. and returning to our top story today, the much anticipated election results in kenya. william router has been declared winner of elections that took place almost a week ago, formerly kenya's deputy president brutal ran a tightly contested race against opposition. leader rayleigh dingo scuffles broke out just ahead of the announcement and several election officials say they will contest the results though we use felix marino follow today's events for us in the canyon capital nairobi felix. the president elect calling for unity in his 1st speech. is the opposition likely to work with him though? good evening. yes, he actually called for peace and he actually called the opposition to come on board
9:18 pm
and walk with him. but in another media interview that is just done, he mentioned that he's just calling on the opposition to come and walk on the side of the opposition so that they can check his government. he actually, her seemed to through a job at um, at the handshake that took place between president wilkins dane dre loading back in 2018. and he said that he does not want a government where the opposition will come and they will now sit together so that there's confusion between the executive and our who else is in that government. he said, the only thing that he wants to they'll position to come is for their position to come and have their full mandate of keeping a government in shock so that they can be able to serve their citizens. so as to whether the opposition will walk with the deputy president or with their president elect for g r e to means i guess of wait and see, but he's extended an olive branch only on the basis that they will come and be an opposition for i learning as partner contest the alex unresolved,
9:19 pm
as well as part of the electoral commission. what do you expect to see in the coming days? so as, as that a loading, as tim and there, some of the commissioners actually contested the election results. the deputy president seed that this was the, ah, was the fast election that he has seen, which is very credible. and a one might see that maybe it's because he's one, sorry. again, my one might see that it's because he's one that he's seeing it is very credible, but he was seeing that it's the 1st time that people have been able to access results on a public portal. it's never happen again. he said again, by the time people who are coming to promise of kenya, they already knew their results. so yes, there was contestation. but on the other side of our, the winning candidate deputy, i really am brutal. he said that this was the most credible election that he has
9:20 pm
seen in his career and politics or it remains or wait and see. of course, now they're the push and pull has begun. remember, toys seen it was credible as in new york or leash. only seeing it was not course aid was not a credible. some of the commissioners have actually joined the, in that some of the commissioners have approved their election. so it's, it's, it's, it's a matter of it's, it's leg. leona being skilled so we will see woodside has more weight in their days to come. it looks marring, and they robi, thank you. now, take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world to day. france says, all of its troops have now left. molly french forces have been fighting islamist militants in the west african nation since 2013, but a decision to pull out was made in february after relations between paris and barcode deteriorated, the troops had become increasingly unpopular with the molly and public. china says the aid has carried out more military drills around taiwan in response to the
