how do we make cities greener? how can we protect animals and their habitats? what to do with all our waste? we can make a difference by choosing reforestation over deforestation recycling over disposable smart new solutions over steam set in our ways, or is truly unique. and we know that, that uniqueness is what allows us to live and survive. good ideas, the environmental series in global 3000 on d, w, and online this is did up the news asia coming up to date of gone is on one. yeah. since the u. s. military pull out the u. n is wanting a family and asking for money to support off guns. correspondence tells us what she saw in a country facing multiple tragedies at one gold plus tragedy in sri lanka as well

where hunger is affecting those hit hardest for the countries economic crises. 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 un humanitarian 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 to day. 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 a son who's 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. present and they're devastating. and frankly difficult to comprehend. we worry that they will soon become worse. the short 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 and thought

about entered cobble airport withdrawing u. s. troops left behind equipment and damaged oh craft. so the poly bud couldn't use them of that didn't matter much to militant forms that have claimed a bigger prize for your country itself. the doubles had of research and investigation. sunup id, as mine was recently in madison for close to 3 weeks, joined me in the studio. now sandra, welcome one years is the thought avante garde of agronomist on and also the same month times as the u. s. withdrawal. what was the overarching mood that you felt in of by the sun when you're there? 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, which saw a lot of intense fighting, especially in the past decade,

between an 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 . the international troops left to and in the country saw 8 cut bags of frozen assets abroad, its m. and yeah, the banking system really collapsed and there for you of you and the you and your mouth at a g. boston for $770000000.00. have people in of runners and 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 food program has laid out a huge program to 8 people with the wheat flour with lentils was 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 van is 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 faced as 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 that can then take home. and that re,

has an impact on us would drive through town it. so 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 back to a point that you made about to renew, wouldn't bother province. and the woman told you the do, 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? we're will do women's here will do people say good. so parliament, 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 a giant 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 lifted 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. 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 being stuck at home. desperate can't go to university can participate in the economic life. so there was a lot of depression at stake, re lovely with their for the time being without so much for joining us to this under bertelsmann. heard of did a bruised research and investigations to papa example. dozens of countries also and lifted their citizens and afghan, barkers from hobbles international airport. after the city fell to the taliban in mid august, 1 of those countries was south korea, which brought and nearly $400.00 of guns. while undeniably fortunate, those people have had to rebuild their lives in a foreign country, which has not always been welcoming and with the language they do not yet speak. can. 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 sean, close to the south korean capital. now i me the thing about my 1st what, what i did in the past and what are being now, not just i thought everything. i thought my life from 1st here from 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 he me now pike's plastics. at a factory today he has a 12 hour over night shift ahead but it's not the long night that makes him struggle. the most difficult us,

we don't know could in language, 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 the 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.
