getting 200 people with around the world, more than 300000000 people are seeking refuge. yes. why? because no one should have to flee. make up your own mind. w. made for mines. ah. this is d w st asia coming up today. the hypocrisy of the folly bonds treatment of women. the group sits at the same table as pakistan woman, deputy foreign minister, but denies the same rights to afghan women. instead, many face torture and humiliation from the group. i don't know which taliban member slapped my face 1st because i don't know because my age honestly damaged

earth and he snapped me again at my mouth. started leading. what prompts this behavior? and what does this mean for afghan women moving forward? ah, i british manager, welcome to did up the news asia. glad you could join us of got his $1000.00 bon rulers, born to allow women to join their cabinet. but they have no qualms meeting a woman cabinet minister from another islamic country pakistan's, deputy foreign minister. he not a binding heart, was in kabul earlier in the week to meet her opposite number in the taliban. the taliban, happy to return at the airport and then sit across the table from her. and afghan woman doing the same would be unthinkable. among other things taliban rule has seen, most afghan women prevented from going back to their jobs and girls prevented from

returning to secondary school. and that is something to discuss for more. i'm joined the studio by d. w. bought a venus job it finished welcome. in her meeting with the taliban, did deputy foreign minister, he never bonnie car bring up the issue of the treatment of african women. babyish the official communicate. duffy that back if and brought up the issue of human rights in its negotiation, but taliban and during her visit to couple in arabic, cut, also met with members of african women chamber of commerce and boxes. and also stressed that it would prefer doing business with us women entrepreneurs. and i think the fact that back isn't fender women minister instead of foreign minister, beloved put, don't any other mil official also short to the world and also to taliban that when a woman is educated, she has agency, she has freedom and she has a she's empowered as she can be involved in the most important deficient making of

the country. and i think taliban the world also thought saw that taliban, who asked that woman to cover themselves from head to door and i crushing their rights here. there are meeting of women minister from nibbling muslim country, not even our western or the european country. and hillary bonnie cut his lot only has not had head is also not properly covered, but they wouldn't allow. and i've gone woman in that position of command where she's leading a delegation and talking i'm equally with of grant, guided by leadership. so send me a message to be our grandfather, bond leadership. and therefore, the question, how important is restoring women's rights and of grandson for partisan? i mean, it's important, but i don't think that it's a priority right now for pakistan. bucket found right now is under ted from that it is m activities of pakistani taliban. it's a group that has 4 years attacked buckets and he said it's people, children. and since i've gone taliban took over in afghanistan,

these attacks have increased and pakistan believes that i, cassandra taliban, and these militants are based in afghanistan and they are planning these attacks from the of gun dated city. and i remember in august 2021 i was in islamabad, that minute of gone taliban took over. some military officials were very jubilant and happy that now pakistan will have a friendly in, especially gordon. and of course, because i already has a horse down there, but on its eastern border. but the reality has been that western border has been ha, has seen a lot of problems and did have been at docs on pakistan. did it? did i say, i think number one message that he made up on the coat gift to have learnt taliban was that they want help of, of gone by the bank or countering this take off that it is them that budget and believes is coming from the of long sway aside from the foreign policy deliberations. i understand that you yourself were in kabul of the ministry of

foreign affairs in 2012. what was it like? yes, i saw i was a part of fun journalism fellowship program and i stayed in gobbled for 10 days. and i remember that at the ministry of foreign affairs, we were welcomed by these a young woman, a foreign ministry officer. and they told us about what kind of a gun is done. they want, what kind of foreign policy they were pursuing and what kind of relations they want . but i've gone on, i also went to different a government ministries and to also to a news channel or the news. and there were women participants there. so women were very active part of the society and that is completely missing right now. when i see visuals of hinted up on the cut meeting, but i've gone a guided by leadership. and one thing i'll quickly say, i remember the story. i've gone and learn journalist told me that he, his sister was actually 6 years older than him than him. both of them graduated at the same time because from 1996 to 2001. when got afghanistan was under taliban

control, his sister couldn't go to school. and unfortunately that is happening again after so many years with so many of grand women, which is just disappointing and extremely hard brick. it is really rebecca, thanks so much for you. and has been used to serve the situation is very different . now women, human rights activists, for instance, have been arrested and tortured actors such as a part of our non robbie who spent $24.00 days in jail after being arrested for participating in a women's rights protest. in kabul in mid january this year, she's all in germany as a refugee and spoke to did up the news about her experience in prism call. me call me back. thank you. what do you know what punishment we have chosen for you? a taliban member asked me one day when i said i didn't know, he said they would stone me. tell the other girl to pray. we're going to stone you . he said i started crying and asked him what my crime was. that was the worst time

. my biggest wish was to get a helmet so that i would not get hurt if they stoned me. i checked my clothes to see if there was something that could protect me from stoning. and i wondered, what would stoning hurt one ah, active his power one is robbie spent $24.00 days in the taliban prison in afghanistan . her work fighting for women's rights put her in the hard line groups firing line . since seizing power in august 2021. the taliban have severely restricted these rights. girls have been bought from school and women, faith increasingly harsh social restrictions. after protesting for women's rights in the afghan capital kabul, this robbie was arrested de covers wisdom care manner for me than could i am. i

don't know which taliban member slapped my face 1st. civic about himself, i felt my eardrums were damaged them. you are like mitchell said, oh and he snapped me again at my mouth, started leading his other back. wasn't that more time for him? i tried to get out of the car in which they were carrying me by another taliban member who was sitting in the back seat. hit me and my back him with his pistol said i'm calling because madison napoleon presented that bush that miss robbie says the taliban tortured her and forced her to sign a confession, documents eventually releasing her. the activists recently arrived in germany, but remains haunted by the inhumane conditions she endured. tom, they'll talk more with allied us for hamstead, where the toilet was in the same room where they kept me hung wicked and performing . the taliban were watching me all the time. i'll talk it even when i was using the toilet. come washing myself with i'm or just walking in the room. but mom,

i had to cover myself with the clock while using the toilet about a war pass. i had no privacy as slender as and on top of him was him that american amish of the colon natural that shut them messy me as a former policy special adviser to the u. k. minister for of gone resettlement and minister for refugees. she joins me now from london. mister, see me. why does the thought of on need to torture women when they have already curtailed their rights? look, i think one thing is very clear that the people who are canada and in particular women are being denied their basic human rights. and the bottom line is the taliban have so clearly demonstrated that they are not going to abide by any agreements that they may have made with the international community. over the years . they seem to think that their legitimacy and part in large part is on keeping women out of sight. and any kind of public role. they use theme and violence as

a means of controlling women and, and the country. and they have no legitimacy, no complications to govern a nation. and it is only through curtailing women's rights and the rights of the people who are canis van that they can control. and they believe they can control the nation and, and govern it and is both appalling and a dangerous sign. the taliban are becoming more and more defiant in showing the world a world they are embracing the policies of the past. i think you're a dental and well for them before and it role not and for them as well for them again. now you used to advise you could government and policy in afghanistan and iran involved with the country. do you think of the international community is no longer as committed to have gone to san as it was. so even on the on to the yearbook, look, i think it's, it, it definitely is incredibly heartbreaking to see how little coverage the

situation of women in afghanistan is getting. because the future of afghanistan as a stable and a peaceful nation, just as any other nation in the world depends on the future of women's rights and 15 months have already gone by where women have been banned from, from a restricted from working young girls, teenage girls have been banned from school. it is the only country in the world where young girls are not allowed to even education. and it is a shameful mom on, on the international community on humanity that a country like that this where human rights are restricted for the basic human rights for women. so i think it is definitely a setting to see how this whole support all the way in about kennesaw receiving from you and it's ashley community. but it, it, it shows even more how desperately they need our attention. particularly the muslim

majority countries in the west have been there for 20 years, and the expectation is always there for them to show their support. but i think right now, because the caliber talent i am power, afghanistan is rely more on the muslim majority countries on neighbors to convey a very unified and strong message about the cost of stability and prosperity is half the population isn't allowed to contribute to society. afghanistan, very briefly. what was the future of women in afghanistan? underfunded? bond rule looked like very bleak, very dark. there is no sheet rock and a stand. there is no future for a growth in the economy in diminishing the humanitarian crisis or any kind of prosperity in the nation. where like i said, half the population is restricted and imprisoned at home. currently, the taliban have proven that they have no respect for humanity for the dignity of

the people who like amazon. and it is honestly incredibly important that the global community come together. now before. ringback it is too late. we'll leave there for the time. thank you so much for joining us. shopped on assuming your former policy special adviser to the euchre minister for of course we settlement and minister for refugees. thanks much. and that's it for this week. there's more stories from the region on our website. it's d deborah dot com, forward slash issue. we're back again on monday through them. with every journey is full of surprises. we've gone all out to give you some time why the indian, the footsteps of the great hall. i'm in your northernmost count to please ah,

deliveries received the bulk of its russian oil imports. beginning monday, those shipments fall under embargo, though stop altogether by early january following a grace period. many russian oil tankers as a result are now heading toward asia. but can asia really make up the difference? well, october russia export it almost $8000000.00 barrels of crude oil and oil products such as diesel per day. roughly 2 and a half 1000000 barrels of that went to the european union, the bulk of it transported by sea. and that's down from before the war. and crude exports have recently surged to other countries, especially india and china. in october alone, russia transporting the equivalent of 1100000 barrels of crude oil to india every day. in january by comparison, it was just a mere 100000 barrels of crude exports. the china have also increased. many experts believed that as the embargo approaches russia is.
