is a celebration of democracy and peace. ah said buildings. the biggest thing in the world is this spiritual freedom he amazes the world with his buildings. an architect of emotions, architecture is kind of a mystery. believe me, daniel lee discount starts december 25th on d w. this is dw asia coming up today. the hypocrisy of the folly bonds treatment of women. the group sits at the same table as focused on woman deputy foreign minister, but denies the same rights to of god women. instead many face torture and humiliation from the group to them. i don't know which taliban member slapped my face 1st to think about it. i felt my age honestly damaged,

then i can eat not 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 the dublin years, asia, glad you could join us. of got his $1000.00 bon rulers, won't allow women to joined their cabinet. but they have no qualms meeting a woman cabinet minister from another islamic country barkus don's deputy foreign minister. he not a bunny. hod wasn't a cowboy earlier in the week to meet her opposite number in the thought. bon the taliban, happy to return at the airport and then sit across the table from her and off gone . woman doing the same, would be unthinkable. among other things taliban rule has seen, most of gone women prevented from going back to the jobs and goals preventive from

returning to secondary school. and that is something to discuss for more during the studio by d. w. bought a venus. java finish. welcome. in her meeting with the father bondage deputy foreign minister, he, nobody car bring up the issue of the treatment of compliment perish. the official communicate, does faith that bacchus and brought up the issue of human rights in its negotiation . but taliban and during her visit to couple in arabic, co also met with members of african women, chamber of commerce and bucket and also stressed that it would prefer doing business bits of wine, women entrepreneurs. and i think the fact that marcus and found a woman minister instead of foreign minister, beloved, put on any other mil official, also sure 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 are crushing their rates here. they are meeting of women minister from neighboring muslim country, not even a restaurant or a european country and how to panic, right, is not only has not, is had head is also not properly covered, but there wouldn't allow. and i've gone women in that position of command where she's leading a delegation and talking i per i, an equally with of crime color by leadership. so send me a message to be of grant funded by 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. our bucket found right now is under ted from dead. it is them activities of pakistani taliban. it's a group that has 4 years attacked bacchus, 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 and found the son and they are planning these attacks from the afghan. did it, did he? and i remember in august 2021 i was in islamabad, and men of, of gone taliban took over some military officials were very jubilant and happy that now august. and we'll have a friendly neighbor in its western borden. and of course, bike isn't under the has a horse down near but on its eastern border. but the reality has been that western border has been a seen a lot of problems and did have been at docs on pakistan. did it? did i say, i think number one message that ended up on the code give to have learned galvan was that they want help of of 9. that the bank are countering this. take off that it is them that bugs and believes is coming from the afghan 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 about a fun journalism fellowship program and i stayed in gobbled for 10 days. and i remembered that at the ministry of foreign affairs, we were welcomed by these young women of foreign ministry officers. 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 got this and i also went to different a government ministries and to also to a news channel or the news. and there were women participants, there for women were very active part of the society and that is completely missing right now when i see visuals of hinted up on the meeting, but i've gone a guided by leadership. and one thing i'll quickly say, i remember the story i've gone and if one journalist told me that he, his sister who's actually 6 years older than him, than him. both of them graduated at the same time because from 1996 to 2001 asked

allison 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 and do any she will leave it there. thanks so much for coming in here and has been used to said 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 needs robbie, who spent 24 days in jail. after being arrested for participating in a women's rights protest in kabul in mid january, the sarah. she's are in germany as a refugee and spoke to beat up the news about her experience in prism for me coming back. thank you. 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 as part of one and 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 barred from school and women. faith increasingly harsh social restrictions. after protesting for women's rights in the afghan capital kabul, these robbie was arrested de,

covered with them care manner for me than could i am. i don't know which taliban member slapped my face 1st. civic her bones that i felt my eardrums were damaged them. you are like mitchell said s and he snapped me again at my mouth, started leading his other back. wasn't that not that point when 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 and with his pistol said i'm calling. because my son nicholas presented that 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. turnbow talk more with a word as for hampstead, where the toilet was in the same room where they kept me. how long, wicked m performing for some of the taliban were watching me all the time. okay. even when i was using the toilet, come washing myself with i'm or just walking in the room at the moment i had to

cover myself with a clock while using the toilets about an hour passed and i had no privacy, a slender and long tolliver hayman was him that american amish of the colon naturally shut down the see me as a former policy special adviser to the u. k. minister for i've gone resettlement and minister for refugees. she joins me now from london. mister, see me, why does the taliban need to torture women? when they have already curtailed their rights look, i think one thing is very clear that the people are back annasae and in particular women are being denied that 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 there legitimacy and part a 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 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 dangerous sign. the taliban are becoming more and more defiant in showing the war. well, they are embracing the policies of the past, i think. and you're a dental and, and well for them before and it role not and for them at well for them again. now you used to advise you could government and policy in a brand, a son under been 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 after until 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. senior girls have been banned from school. it is the only country in the world where young girls are not allowed to leave in education. it is a shameful mark on, on the international news, he 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 or the way about kennesaw receiving from you and international 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. the expectation is always there for them to show their support. but i think right now, because the caliber talent i'm power afghanistan is rely more in 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 sand. there is no future for a growth in the economy in diminishing the humanitarian crisis or any kind of prosperity in a 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 that are gonna stand out. it is on the incredibly

important that the global community come together now before 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 advisor to the euchre minister for of god. 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 gov, forward slash issue. we're back again on monday through then both slash her i'm you can that i work that tag and in the end is a me you, i'm not a lot as to you anymore. we will send you back. are you familiar with this smudges were lions of the what's your story. ready

received the bulk of its russian oil imports. beginning monday though, shipments fall under embargo, they'll 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, tobar, russia exported 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 search to other countries, especially india and china. in october alone, russia transporting the equivalent of 1100000 barrels of crude oil to india every day. and january by comparison, it was just a mere 100000 barrels of crude exports. a china have also increased. many experts believed that as the embargo approaches russia.
