to a foreign planet. in the 16th century, it meant being a captain and setting sail to discover a route, a race to military interests, a race into political and military facilities, but also to finance and adventure full of hardships, dangers and death. magellan journey around the world, starting september 7th on d. w. 50 that 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 goal, plus tragedy in sri lanka as well where hunger is affecting those hit august for

the countries economic crises. ah, i'm british manager, welcome to the dublin news. asia ledger could join us. one, yes, and the last us 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 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 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. president and they're devastating. and frankly difficult to comprehend. we worry that they will soon become worse the shot extent of these fundamentals, difficult to estimate the year back when the u. s. completed its military pull out from the country up and ready to take it there. that pull out immortalized by this picture behind me of the last us soldiers stepping onto a military transport to leave couple airport the very next day, members of the party bond and to cobble airport withdrawing us troops. that's

behind equipment and damaged a craft. so the probably button couldn't use them, but that didn't matter. much to a military claimed a big surprise country. so isabel's head of research and resolution summer bertelsmann was recently in of garrison for close to 3 weeks, joined me in other studio now summer. welcome. one years is the thought advantage gold of grammar storm and also the same month times as the u. s. withdrawal. what was the overarching mood that you felt in of by miss on with her? it really depends on who you ask if you are in cobble 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 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. and yeah, the banking system really collapsed and there for you of you and the you and your mouth, or did you 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 were 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. 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 when 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 they can then take home and that we and 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 group one that you made about to renew will butler province of the woman told you the do? things are saved. now i'm, this is something that i live on her promise that journal. we will make things safe for them. there are other promises of the heaven gift, such as allowing woman to work. what about verbal, do? we're, what do women? several, do people say to the back of our lunch? 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 as her. 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. good thing. 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're effective. he bought from secondary education, which means you're also bought from university from medical school. so that's

almost like a last 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 over the timing, but thank you so much for joining us to this under bertelsmann. had of did others research and investigations to pub? thank you so much. dozens of countries also and left of their citizens and afghan, barkers from cobbled international airport after the city felt valuable in mid august. one of those countries was south korea, which brought in nearly $400.00 afghans. 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.

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 home rigidity. this attitude also affects a 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, when he wrote thing about when the gall along, the afghan also says south korea helped 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. and you will find more to golden analysis on the
