international gathering of peace and co operation becomes the scene of a horrible tragedy. arab terrorists, armed with sub machine guns, went to the headquarters of the israeli team and immediately killed one man. and that this will be the last time i saw him like i wars fears me lies tonight. they're all gone. how i witnesses experienced the terrible events and this the world should not forget the long shuttle. the $972.00 olympic massacre start september 3rd on d w. this is did up the news asia coming up to date of god is on one. yeah. since the u. s. military pull out you and is wanting a feminine asking for money to support off guns, correspondence tells us what she saw in a country facing multiple tragedies. that's one goal. plus tragedy in sri lanka is

where and where hunger is affecting those. it's hard for the countries economic crisis. ah, i'm british manager, welcome to the dublin news. asia ledger could join us one year since the last u. s. soldier withdrew from afghanistan. the you and your monitoring chief has urged donors to provide $770000000.00 in assistance for afghans. addressing the security council on monday, martin griffith's warned that some 6000000 people were at risk of famine. with winter approaching, he went on to explain the breadth of crises facing afghans today. more than half of the population, some 24000000 people need humanitarian assistance. and an estimated 3000000 children are acutely malnourished. they conclude over 1000000 children estimated

to be suffering from the most severe life threatening form of malnutrition without specialized treatment. these children could die. i've got to stand has also witnessed unprecedented levels of internal displacement and population movement. some 5800000 people remain in protracted internal displacement requiring long term solutions that these are the figures mr. president and they're devastating. and frankly, that difficult to comprehend. we worry that they will soon become worse. the shirt extent of these volumes was difficult to estimate a year back when the us completed its military. bullard, from the country up to nearly 2 decades there. that bullet immortalized by this picture behind me of the last you are a soldier, stepping on to a military transport to leave kabul airport. the very next day members of thought

about entered cobbled airport withdrawing u. s. troops left behind equipment and damaged oh craft. so the police bob couldn't use them of that didn't matter much to militant firms that had slimmed a bigger prize. your country itself. the doubles had of research and investigations under bertelsmann was recently in madison for close to 3 weeks, joined me in the studio. now sandra, welcome one years in safari, bon, take a lot of agronomist on and also the same month times in the u. s. withdrawal. what was the overarching mood that you felt in of by miss on when you bear? it really depends on who you ask if you are in cobb will in the capital and most of the people i met bear. they felt defeated and away they felt deserted, betrayed by the international community. but if you traveled to the countryside, which we did, for instance, we visited what that province are, which saw a lot of intense fighting, especially in the past decade,

between american and african forces on the one site and taliban forces on the other . such a speak to people there, especially women. they told me, look, there is peace now and we can go about things we can carry on living a normal life like other people do. they were like, constantly scared and being afraid of drones strike air strikes, night rates and all that is gone now. but the over arching thing that everybody has to go through is that intense economic crisis that afghanistan is facing ever since . on the international troops left to and in the country. saul 8 cut bags of frozen assets abroad and, and yeah, the banking system really collapsed and every of you and the you and your mouth, or did you possible for $770000000.00? have people in the renaissance begun to resent the worst for a bending, the abandoning them as it were? or is the we're still being able to help. i mean, the international community,

namely the weight, foot proven does help. and about half the population is in dire need of food 8 and and the world's food program has laid out a huge program. am to 8 p per with the wheat flour with lentils, with cooking oil, with basic essentials. but of course, if so many people are in need, it's never really enough. and also the money that the united nations are asking for is not provided because we have other intense crises in the word of kindness thoroughness, not the only one. so yes, there is a sense of abandonment and i can so clearly remember as we're driving through town where figures became faces, people knocking at the windows of our cars, begging especially children and women. we drove past bakeries in the evening. this almost this ritual of women assembling as silently sitting in front of the bakeries hoping for a loaf of bread. they can then take home and that we has an impact on us would

drive through town. it's a, it's a common feature these days. and also what was new to me, i mean there were always drug addicts and cowboy at a very particular spot. but now you can see them almost anywhere really desperate, many male and squatting in the streets and really being spaced out. and a lot of them wearing suits. i think these are signs of desperation. just go to a point that you made about to renew, wouldn't bother province. and the woman told you that the things are saved. now. i mean, this is something that i live on had promised that journal. we will make things safe, but then there are other promises of there haven't kept such as a lone woman to work. what about verbal do or what do women? several, do people say do there of balaban again, it depends on who you are. i would say the majority does not. i mean, even the one woman that we spoke to, we spent a lot of time with her, a former member of parliament actually. and who is now and working for the taliban? as of jain, ecologist, and she said, look, you guys in the west,

you occupied our country, especially addressing the us. and she said to and you used to call us was bullets. and now you're killing us with sanction. so she clearly is expecting the sanctions to be withdrawn and to be lift, hurt, and unfrozen assets. that's also something she demands. but at the same time, she says that the taliban also need to change their minds about giving women access to participate in the economy, giving girls access to school. it's because there is the school been telling place is still in place for secondary school goods. and if you ask them, they are so desperate being stuck at home. i mean, we went to a school and spend time with a great 6. now this according to taliban, is the last year of school. so look, you are looking at 1213 year olds and we asked them, so what do you want to be when you grew up in all hands went up where we as you want to be doctors. but then you know, this is your last year in school and you are effective. he bought from secondary education, which means you're also bought from university from medical school. so that's

almost like a lost generation was met. so many women really been stuck at home. desperate can't go to university, can't participate in the economic life. so there was a lot of depression at stake, re lovely with their for the time being with her so much for joining us to this under bertelsmann. heard of do the bos, research, and investigations department, thank you so much. dozens of countries also and lifted their citizens and afghan, barkers from hobbled international airport after the city fell to the taliban in mid august. one of those countries was south korea, which brought in nearly $400.00 of guns, while undeniably fortunate. those people have had to rebuild their lives in a foreign country, which is not always been welcoming and with the language they do not yet speak kill . she is not a dish that usually appears on the table of an afghan family. but as see me, his wife and children are adapting to the korean lifestyle in their new apartment

in, in shown close to the south korean capital. now i knew a thing about my boss what, what i did in the past and what are doing now? not just, i thought everything. i, i thought my life from 1st here. i'm the 38 year old was a journalist. but like hundreds of others, l lifted from afghanistan to south korea a year ago, the elite cobble university graduate had to give up everything, including his job. as amy, now pike's plastics. at a factory. today he has a 12 hour overnight shift ahead but it's not the long night that makes him struggle. the most difficult us, we don't know,

couldn't languish. he has no time to attend language classes. that puts a big hurdle in assimilating in a country where many still believe in ethnic homogeneity. this attitude also affects as seamless children. as south korean parents have protested against african kids entering local schools. but the family are still grateful. their children can grow up in a free society. my, my daughter can go to outside along and them can go to school along everything. but here i winnie road thing about when the gall along. the afghan also says south korea, help them escape the taliban, giving them a safe space. integration is anything but easy. but the family is trying the best to make this place their new home.

rampant inflation means gonna sicaro might not even be able to feed her daughter soon. although the government is seeking a multi $1000000000.00 bailout, financial assistance is still distant, leaving the family to wonder how long life can continue like this. and that's it for to birth is of course more from the region on our website, d, david dot com, forward slash asia. and as ever you can follow us on facebook and twitter or back tomorrow at the same time. would see you then the bye. ah, sometimes books are more exciting than real life raring to read. oh, what if there's no escape?
