>> this is al jazeera. >> hello, welcome to our newshour. coming up, fighting intensifies in afghanistan where resistance fighters are trying to repel a taliban advance. i reporting from the entrance of

this valley were fighting is being descbed as the last bastion of resistance to their role. >> hundreds march that alice in kabul demanding their rights are not overlooked >> president biden is in louisiana to survey the damage left by hurricane ida. >> and its port, daniil medvedev reaches the fourth round of tennis as he chases a third grand slam title. fifa have opened disciplinary proceedings following the ugly scenes in hungary where players were racially abused. >> we begin in afghanistan where the taliban is locked in a battle for this region, the last remaining area outside of its

control. those from the national resistance front have repeatedly repelled advances from the group. several thousand fighters and emden's of the government's armed forces have massed in the valley. some say just before the takeover, they saw government troops transporting vehicles and equipment to the area. the region resisted taliban rule during the 1990's. the number of t's is hard to verify. hundreds of families have fled after heavy fighting. we report from the area. >> smoke rises from this town, the entrance to the valley in afghanistan. neither the soviets know the taliban have ever managed to control this mountainous region around 100 kilometers north of kabul.

a shall lands nearby. taliban fighters ready their weapons. many in the village say they have driven their wives and children to safety. they are angry and scared. >> the americans betrayed us. the president betrayed us. he left us under the canons and thanks and we cannot stop either side fighting. how much can they kill their fellow afghans? they have to stop fighting. >> the taliban drive american military vehicles and pickup trucks taking fighters to and from the front lines. thousands of men like these across afghanistan have known little else but conflict in war all their lives >> the fighting started three days ago. now we have taken a lot of areas of their. we have no issue with the civilians. we are here to defend their

rights. >> the national resistance front of afghanistan is believed to be several thousand strong and made up of ethnic touch of fighters and former afghan soldiers the group is led by this man, british military academy trained in the sun of a man who fought against the soviets in taliban, assassinated by al qaeda two days before the 9/11 attacks. he is demanding the taliban form an inclusive government which guarantees the rights of all of afghanistan ethnic minorities including the topics -- tajiks. >> we have a lot of equipment so we will defend. we have even one drop of blood

in our body, we will resist the taliban fighters. >> they walk along tracks they say are heavily mined. as we were getting ready to go live, another shell landed close by. taliban has blocked phone networks in the valley. there are growing fears about the estimated 150,000 people living inside and many in taliban-controlled areas >> a big concern is that the forces are coming around on the mountain ridges and trying to surround this area in order to isolate the town. >> we are leaving. i came from kabul to collect our belongings. i already took my family out. the fighting is ongoing. both sides are shelling. >> afghan families flee for their lives in one of the last pockets of resistance to taliban

rule. >> al jazeera, near afghanistan. >> the taliban co-founder is inspected to lead the new afghan government. he says improving the economy as a top parity. >> regarding the government that we will form, it will include all factions of the afghan people. i want to assure people that we are doing our utmost efforts. the government will provide security because it is necessary for economic development not only for afghanistan the whole world. -- but the whole world. you will not spare any effort to reach our objectives. >> a group of women have demonstrate outside the presidential palace, calling on taliban leadership to protect women's rights including access to employment and education. if similar protests on thursday.

a taliban official recently promised there would be a place for women in afghanistan's government, but not in the cabinet in the last 20 years, we have taken part in all aspects of life shoulder to shoulder with men, no one can eliminate us. all of the international community, especially men from other countries around the world to support us. >> will speak now to a man who was on his way to kabul to continue teaching as a professor of law when the takeover occurred. he joins us now live from rome. thank you for joining us. as a way to see with the taliban is as a government what ordinary taliban want to see from the government? >> there are two issues, one is the issue of legitimacy and i think that will depend on two factors >> one is how the

government will perform the population >> -- the population. the economy is a major issue. another issue is the representative miss of the government. we can think of three different forms of representation. one is gender inclusivity. it half the population will be included in a meaningful way or not. the taliban have signaled they will not include women in higher positions. there's also the worry of ethnic inclusivity. and whether the taliban will allow different ethnic stickers made in government. so far, most of the appointments have been to one ethnic group and the last is diversity, if those who hold views opposing to the taliban who adopt predicate values or adopt different views of the taliban, if they will be included in the government or if they will be allowed to engage

in political activities. those elements of rep resented of governments -- representative governance are going to be important. no government has been able to function effectively without foreign support, affected afghan history and the taliban will not be different. it was no different in the 90's when they were a prior state cut off from most of the world. they could not function and most services were delivered by aid organization and ngos. they show a lot more sensitivity to the issue, how much compromise they are willing to make on matters of ideology and

the core value of the movements, that is an open question. it seems like the international community is divided on the question of recognizing the government. some have fewer reservations but the west end of the u.s. may have different demands. what should also not be forgotten is there is a humanitarian catastrophe taking place in afghanistan and i think the world should not deal with the humanitarian issue as they would deal with recognition of the taliban. it should not be interrupted regardless of how they deal with the taliban or not. they are going to need that assistance just for surviving.

>> we talked about the events in the valley at start of the program. how do we see that playing out? >> it is one of the types of representation i talked about. one is the inclusion in the taliban, who have not shown for constituencies. they asserted demands for different types of communities in afghanistan. people are advocating certain types of these with great democratic values, self-governance and such. with the taliban need to be able

to accommodate those demands or not is an open question. so far, those have been the terms discussed. there has been no different way of how people who hold different views of the taliban are brought into the government yet. i believe the centralizing power could allow for different people with different views on different issues. the taliban have not shown any indication they are willing to agree to different terms and are key to impose a government that is more in line with their ideology. >> thank you very much indeed. >> secretary of state will travel to delhi for further talks on afghanistan.

they said the taliban must honor commitments to see any sanctions relief. >> we work intensely across the international community to set a clear expectation of what the world is looking for it freedom of travel. and now among other things, the security council resolution. that significant in a number of ways because as you know, they are seeking sanctions relief. there were seeking the ability to travel freely, which under you and sanctions they currently cannot do. and if the government is in violation on this latest resolution, it will be clear to see how they get that kind of relief. >> not only is there a big diplomatic push, but there is

also going to be a concurrent military thank you. not only will antony blinken be traveling to the region, but defense secretary lloyd austin is also going to be in the region in order to thank u.s. military as well as military leaders for their assistance in the recent evacuation from afghanistan. the main point of antony blinken strip from doha is to consult not just with the members of the u.s. embassy who are temporarily working out of that city but to also consult with qatari leaders who are keen for among other things to reopen the airport. so that those afghans who want to leave the nature will be able to leave. there will be talk that perhaps

the airport would be opened by friday. that turned out to be too ambitious but certainly the secretary of state on's to be in close coordination not just with qatari officials but turkish officials who are working on this project to try and keep that all-important lifeline between this landlocked country and the outside world open. >> still to come, the river turned red via a leak from an angolan diamond mind. the congo seeks compensation. chile's mature bay people declare war on 4th street companies and the chilean state. a huge boost for next year's enter olympics in beijing. more on that come out later in sports.

>> the u.s. president is in louisiana for a first-hand look at the damage wrought by hurricane ida. joe biden has met governor edwards and other local officials. torrential rain brought widespread flooding and power was cut after a storm hit the coast. at least nine people were killed in louisiana. this caused more flooding with at least 49 people killed across new jersey, new york, and pennsylvania. resident biden has just finished touring a small community 35 miles west of new orleans. he vowed to get power back on as soon as possible. >> i know you are frustrated by how long it takes to restore power. it is dangerous work. 25,000 linemen from around the country have come to help, crews from 32 different states.

two of them lost their lives in the process of trying to get power back. we are working 24-7. >> christian is in new jersey. the situation there is pretty grim. >> it was. where i was standing was completely underwater. today, the water is gone but what destruction and death it left in its wake. sadly in this conflict behind me , four people were killed, the highest death toll and all of that is due to the flooding. if you look over here, you can see where that family sadly passed away three of them were also in apartment building and the water was up to the doorway. neighbors on the second floor tell me they received calls from

people on the lower floors asking how it came so quickly. the people on the second floor said that the stairs were flooded and they could not open the doors because the water pressure was so great. there was some 12,000 people without power here see the devastation of the vehicle. the water was to the roof of these vehicles and now this is what we are seeing all over new jersey. stranded cars covered in muck. people are soggy and the water has mostly receded, though in other parts of the state, rivers are peaking so there is more expected elsewhere even though the weather is beautiful, the damage goes on.

it just tells you how quickly and unexpectedly this all happened. all of the people i have spoken to in this community tell me that they have never experienced anything like it and i spoke to people who have lived here in this building for 20 years and other parts of town for 20 and that includes superstorm sandy back in 2012, which was a record-setting storm as well. but this area did not see major damage at that time. since sandy, billions of dollars have been spent to harden and protect coastal areas from flooding that these were rivers that rose so quickly and storm drainage systems that were not built to handle so much water at one time. they were just overwhelmed as a result. people got warnings about flood alerts that they came too late.

because of not being used to these kind of things, they did not know where to go and sadly for some, they did not survive. >> we speak now to a senior climate scientist at the union of conserved scientists who joined us from san francisco. thank you for being with us. in terms of these extreme weather events, what do you make of the reserve planning that has been in place. clearly there has not been enough of it what is missing that enough of it. what is missing? >> we knew climate change would affect many events but we have not properly invested in making our communities more billion. that means there is a lot of deferred maintenance on our infrastructure and it also means there are not everywhere about

what to do if a disaster is approaching and even for some people, it can be very difficult to evacuated due to financial constraints. so there is a lot that needs to happen to make u.s. communities more resilient in the face of climate change because we know that projections are to only get worse >> joe biden said the latest events are here and he talked about improving infrastructure. those projects usually take time. can those improvements be delivered fast enough? >> infrastructure decisions are usually made thing out at a horizon of decades. we want our roads and bridges to last 50 years so it is really critical that the decisions we make now fully account for a range of climate risks we might see in the future.

we are already seeing the ways deferred maintenance on infra structure is coming back to bite us. it was designed for a climate of the past and that past climate is not a good indicator of what we are going to be experiencing now or in the future. the fact that we have not kept up maintenance on our infrastructure and invested in all of the enhancements that are needed for climate change to make it climate resilient is really coming to a head with all of these disasters. >> is the u.s. government focused too hard on risks in the future as opposed to current risks? >> climate change is an interesting problem because for a long time, the perception and the reality was that these were effects we would be experiencing decades into the future. and so in that sense, it is somewhat easier to think about targets for reducing emissions

so we stave off future effects. but we have spent so much time did during here in the u.s. and in the world on what to do about climate change and what those targets should be that we have now come to a point where it emissions is not sufficient. it is incredibly necessary the first line of defense against the climate is but because committees are experiencing climate change, it is here and now and happening already and we need to invest in making our communities more resilient and in some cases, that might mean a seawall, and other places that might mean increasing parkland along the river so that when flooding occurs, it's not getting to people's homes. so there are a lot of ways committees are thinking about how to build resilience but absolutely, the time for that is now.

>> thank you for talking to us. >> thank you for having. -- having me. >> joe biden has ordered a review of all classified document related to september 11. any documents that can be declassified will be released to the public. >> as we approach the 20th in verse three of those attacks on the pentagon and the world trade center in new york, the families of the victims have been pushing for this declassification for quite a while. what we have been saying in their recently released letter is they do not president biden to visit new york city to commemorate the anniversary of those attacks unless he fulfills a campaign promise and that campaign promise was essentially to kick off the investigation or

review it would allow for the release. that families allege could expose saudi arabia in some fashion to the september 11 attacks. so in advance, the president has now signed this executive order. what this does is direct the fbi to begin this declassification process related to the attacks that the families allege have a link to the government or officials. we know that this will allow for at least access to what until now has been secret department of justice files that is a federal investigation but has never seen the light of day by the public so what this executive order does is it will essentially begin that review process and allow for the documents to potential hibi released over the next six months that it is important to

note it is not just the families and victims that have been pushing for this. increasingly, we have seen members of congress and the president's own party, senator bob menendez recently sank that the u.s. government needs to know who is a friend who is a foe and they are also alleging there are connections to saudi officials and 9/11 attacks and that is why this has started to gain momentum. we will be watching to see what comes out of this declassification process. for now, joe biden has made good on a campaign promise by signing this executive order. >> this is the news hour from london. still ahead, from protesting change to packing up and leaving. reports of mass exodus leading to a severe brain drain.

australia reports record code cases. -- covid cases. ♪ >> thank you for joining in. the cluster of cells we had towards northern and eastern sections of spain, for the most part that has cleared away and is in the south of france plenty in the way of son. downpours can be expected to central and southern areas of italy. to get through the weather in france, we have some in play warning about the risk of flooding and i think this may

creep in paris. this batch of wet weather around the balkan states have transferred it to russia. summer does not want to let go so here is where we revisit paris. here's a look of thunderstorms and we pump up amateurs to 30 degrees. dry across greece and turkey, we may see an odd shower but a stable 26 degrees. have storms across the gulf of guinea heaviest into sarah -- into sierra leone. see you soon. >> too often, afghanistan is portrayed through the prism of war, but there are many afghanistan's.

>> fighting has escalated between the taliban and the resistance group in the panjshir valley, the only area to hold out against taliban rule. the taliban tells al jazeera the premise -- the economy is a priority and security is an important first step. the sectarian state will visit qatar, saying the taliban must stick to its promises for sanctions to be eased. democratic republic of congo says it is seeking compensation after a leak at an angolan diamond mine polluted drinking water killing 12 people. thousands fell ill when part of the wastewater ruptured in july.

it has acknowledged it then leaked into a tributary of the congo river. officials say that in began to seal the breach. >> the fact that the angolan government recognized what happened and that kotoko mining also recognized this bill for us it is good. now we are at the assessment stage. i cannot give you the cost because of the limitations of my mission, which is sampling and research. >> it is still not clear what contaminants polluted the river or what the longer-term consequences may be. >> drinking from those rivers, what type of pollutants. the river and what could be the type of communication for people , this is what we are investigating.

we do this so we can really see the impact and also longer-term. ex-pence from both countries both parties and also from angola will go to the source of the pollution. this is really for sustainability and river-based management. >> three people remained in critical condition after being stabbed in an auckland authorities say the attacker who was shot and killed by police is being closely monitored by intelligence agencies. >> an afternoon of shopping has

been interrupted by a burst of gunfire and sirens. it soon emerged that police shot and killed a man who had walked into a supermarket in west auckland and attacked shoppers. >> he stabbed this woman. i went down to the other end and there was a european man lying on the ground. he got stabbed. >> did not take long for the prime minister to label it terrorism and reveal details about the attacker. the sri lankan came to new zealand 10 years ago and for the past five years have been a person of interest to security and intelligence agencies. because of that, police say they were able to stop the man because -- before he attacked more people here >> the attack began at 2:40 p.m. and was undertaken by an individual who was a known threat to new zealand. the individual was under constant monitoring and it was

the police surveillance team and special tactics group who were part of that monitoring and surveillance that shot and killed him with an untold the space of 60 seconds of the attack starting. >> there are also restrictions in place because of a covid-19 outbreak, meaning there were fewer shoppers inside than normal. new zealand has been on alert for attacks when an australian white supremacist killed 51 people in christchurch. the prime minister said it was not clear if friday's stabbings were revenge for what happened in christchurch, but police are confident this was a one-off and the attacker was acting alone. >> japan's prime minister says he won't seek reelection as leader of the governing party. it has left room to be replaced after just one year in office.

he took over after the former leader resigned, citing poor health. the approval rating has since dropped as the nation struggles with its worst wave of covid-19 infections. the european union and astrazeneca have reached a deal ending a legal battle over the slow delivery of covid-19 vaccines. they say they will provide 300 million doses by march of next year. shipment delays initially hampered vaccination drive and officials launched legal action earlier this year. the block accused the drugmaker of acting and glad faith -- bad faith but provided doses to the u.k. before fulfilling its own orders. while australia is hitting record levels, new zealand is seeing numbers decline. meanwhile, south korea has extended social distancing curves ahead of holiday and

taiwan has received its first batch of pfizer vaccines. we have a look at covid-19 in the asia-pacific region. >> new vaccines arrive as australia has its worst day of the pandemic with a record number of cases and the most deaths in one day. the pfizer shots arrive in sydney. the shipments came from singapore in a swab arrangement. a similar deal has been struck with the u.k. and will bring more vaccines to australia. >> this is likely to be our worst in terms of number of cases but it is not the number of cases we need to be focusing on how many end up in our intensive care wards in hospitals and how many we have vaccinated weekly as possible. >> more than half of australia is under a stay-at-home order. in new zealand, some progress in

its battle against the outbreak fueled by the delta variant. a large drop in cases from the previous few days. >> we need to continue to keep our testing rates up to give us the confidence we are catching covid in the kennedy and finally, these results are encouraging, but the job is not yet done. we must continue to be vigilant. >> the slow outbreaks cross south korea where officials have extended social distancing for over a month. the toughest are in the greater city areas where many small businesses are suffering. ask we barely see people on the streets. if our prophet was a thousand $700 per day, now it is half. we can barely pay the rent and don't think social distancing measures are effective. my family has been running this

business for over three generations and we are facing the worst situation now. it is so hard. >> taiwan received its first shipment of the pfizer biontech vaccine. political pressure from china has made it difficult for taiwan to strike deals directly with companies. beijing real -- feels it rules taiwan as part of its territory and the deal was made with china-based distributor after months of negotiating. >> north korea's leader has ordered tougher coronavirus restrictions after turning down vaccines offered by the you and backed covax program. they were told to increase prevention measures despite the worsening economy and concerns over food security. north korea turned down millions of doses of sinovac and the astrazeneca vaccines. columbus health minister says

and pine. the forces brimming with other plants used for making medicine. he says this is used for dyeing wool and this for weaving baskets. >> the native forest is life. that is why we attacked it we have a spiritual relationship with it as important as water. >> taking the lives of scores of people who believe they have the right to live and work here. they make up 10% of the population and are the poorest segment of society. farley in the capital and indigenous linguist is presiding over chile's constitution. >> it is to send a message that a newco situation can lay the groundwork for a national state and dialogue with those fighting.

but leaders reject the entire process. >> the only exception is if the convention discussed territory and autonomy for the people but that is difficult to mention. >> why should i help the country that killed and invaded us? >> he tells me he will not respond to a summons by prosecutor investigating him for alleged illegal possession of weapons of war. instead, he plans dropped out of sight, haps in the state of forest or in the increasingly vast areas of south-central chile the state no longer seems to control. >> the number of people leaving lebanon look for opportunities abroad is at an all-time high. a new report warns mass exodus is leading to severe brain drain as people lose hope in their country's future.

>> they are visiting a square in beirut for one last time before he leaves for germany. it is here he spent day and night protesting for months with hundreds of thousands of others against the government's rapid corruption. >> for the ruling political class, it really meant nothing. they kept on creating a crisis. >> he will start a scholarship, one of many young professionals and activists leaving lebanon for good. >> almost everyone involved in the revolution, those who were on the front lines in leading the movements, we all have the same thoughts that we have to secure our friends -- ourselves first before we are able to get back to the country. it breaks my heart to see the young people who were key to change trying desperately to get

a visa. >> now even more are leaving as people struggle to make ends meet. >> generational trauma is what people tell us they are suffering from right now. for many, lester's favorite blast blamed unsystematic corruption was too much to bear. they have no functioning government economic and health care systems are made worse rather pandemic and have all but collapsed. for those leaving the country, they say they have lost the very little hope that they once had. >> new findings show three quarters of lebanese youth want to immigrate. the world bank estimates the economic crisis could take a couple more decades to recover and experts warn of the long-term impact the latest brain drain will have. >> is very worrying. those who own the economy are actually doctors, they are the

first to leave and they are leaving in tens of thousands and that means the economy is collapsing even further. >> travel agents say they are receiving an unprecedented level of calls. >> we are seeing an increase in people booking flights out of lebanon on a one-way ticket with no return, especially those who already have residences abroad but have chosen to live here. >> it's difficult because none of my friends have remained and i don't have any more family. >> most of his friends have left for europe. he is set to be leaving his family behind but looks forward to a future with new opportunities abroad, the ones he fought for so tirelessly in lebanon. al jazeera, favorite. -- beirut. >> filter, among why hamilton

, given a high-profile. the sanctions should be allowed to apply. sadly, that did not happen and what gets the perception that the sort of sanctions are being applied in a way that they are very perfunctory. therefore there are other actions the government should be following up with before the sanctions are put in place. >> pakistan's first ever gold medalist at the paralympics says he hopes to be a role model for others with the disability they won the men's discus in tokyo with a personal best throw. he previously won the silver and bronze medals but in long jump.
