we must not forget pakistan had officially good taliban and bad taliban. they both work against pakistan interests. they are taking an internal issue to afghanistan and creating an original problem for afghanistan, which was bitter. a real problem. now all these seem in a dream, which may not come true, with the taliban in power. host: our other countries in the region putting pressure on taliban to contain threats from isil and other armed groups? and if so, how much pressure? rabia: i would like to comment on what faiz said, to point out a contradiction in his statement. which is, how is it beneficial for pakistan to have a destabilized western border, that it already has an equally fragile eastern border? the contradiction is, chinese interest in afghanistan, how does it serve pakistan's interest to destabilize afghanistan if it wants economic security, and to play a role in connecting the region? with respect to the isis situation, the concerns are great, but i do not see a lot of countries coming out in the region and putting pressure on the taliban.

hazara.0 -- taliban 2.0.ey have an all forms of entertainment. they have cracked down on afghan media. the taliban have banned the education for girls. all sorts of excuses. if you listen to the taliban. the reality is, this is an ideological issue for the taliban. basically do not want to allow it. what we also see is the most powerful taliban, the ideological ones, those who are calling the shots, are against it. so you have certain taliban leaders, especially the younger ones, taking this issue under social media and saying, this is great injustice, i want my daughters to be educated. it is quite depressing at the moment because afghanistan is a country where millions of girls will not be able to achieve their dreams of becoming doctors and engineers and teachers. if you look at the last 20 years, afghan -- played a massive role and rebuilding the country. especially people who were born in 1998, 19 99, 2000. they are today the leaders. today, people who have successfully represented afghanistan all over t

the good time now the good taliban embed value. but somehow, the looks back against some interest. so pakistan is taking its internal conflict and militia internet. it's for the g to out of the gun. it's somehow me creating the original problem for tyler bond, which was some which was bitter and off from the beginning. i'm thinking that they might get very soon that start up what happy costs are 1000 project real from my projects from becky stand to la, hold or pakistan. but now all these things seem somehow and a dream, a dream which may not come through within and power robbie or other countries in the region, putting pressure on the top one right now to do more to contain the threats from iceland, from other armed groups and if so, how much pressure is being applied? i would like to just, you know, comment on was face said if you allow me to find out a contradiction in his statement, which is that, you know, how is the beneficiary for august to have that in the stabilized mission more than it already has any really eastern water

a giant, sony explains to us why the taliban are trying to band opium production. his institute collects data and research is drug cultivation in afghanistan. the objective is certainly to get the approval 1st of the international community hopefully move closer and closer to the recognition of the regime, which is very important for them because it would been allow many other revenues to fluid. oh, so for the taliban minister confirmed this in the interview. he said the world has to help us. we asked them to take notice and stand by our side. we didn't know how to move gentlemen are from his time goal is corresponded. i knew that the fi who's reported from of gunnison for many years. i li, the thoroughly bon have banned opium cultivation officially. but as we see in our report, they don't appear to be actively enforcing the ban wise that you think i mean, this is the thing that this is the same issue that there are public had that you know, enforcing the band is extremely difficult because on the one hand, if you enforce it, what you're going to be doing is taking

taliban 12 months and see if they change.nately, every day you wake up, the taliban have something new to do -- torturing people, killing, disappearing, children malnutrition and everything. it is easy for others in the st or elsewhere to say, give the taliban a chance. but it is not easy for me. every day, i see my phone getting hundreds of messages from young girls, young boys, families, and people, doctors and officers saying we have been tortur, we have been oppressed, we have been disrespected, and what are you going to do about it? there is pbably thousands of afghans getting these messages. reporter: but we hear from many in the afghan countryside which bore the brunt of the war in the past 20 years that they are so relieved that the u.s. and afghan warplanes and drones are out of the sky. they are relieved, whatever they think of the taliban, they are relieved at least that there is peace. would they give the kind of support to your fighting forces that you would need in order to make any kind of advance? >> i think,

but in early april, the taliban forbade poppy cultivation butter choose. i will, if this plant is bound from cultivation, my friend that we will be forced to steal. i like it doesn't make any sense to harvest of the crops, like mays, all pomegranates. they don't do yielding of profits to live off, and that's why demanded johnny machine. we visited these farmers just as this year's crop was being harvested for 28 years. mohammed tanya's family has been cultivating opium. the extremely dry climate in south afghanistan is ideal for the plants tide our credit. but we started planting opium because we don't have enough water. all the necessary equipment for the crops shows that the people are poor and opium is profitable. the. this farmer tells us he has 25 family members to care for . he has many children. he also grows grapes, but that's not enough to make ends meet. these bags contain his valuable product and this is the market where the ra opium will be sold. and it's the place where local drug lords meet. they smuggle the opium to pakistan or iran. from th

we are not against the taliban, we are against the way they are governing. a bit of tragic news out of afghanistan tonight, the head k i lea 50an people have been killed in a suicide bombing after friday prayers. the telephone authorities are quotg a much lower figure, saying only 10 people died. this is the latest in a series of attacks on civilian targets in the country during the holy month of ramadan. authorities in india are warning that around half of the country may be facing a prolonged heat wave. the mercury has risen a staggering 45 degrees celsius in some places. that is 113 degrees fahrenheit. the intense heat has also led to an increased demand for electricity. the bbc is on the ground and have the latest. correspondent: the heat is scorching here. we are in the middle of a city which is usually known for its magnificent tourist destination. the heat does get unrelenting in this desert area, temperatures going up to 50 degrees in june. but they have started climbing much earlier this summer. people have been advised to stay indoors as much as po

join to go into a struggle against the taliban andjoin our to go into a struggle against the talibanet some sort of a political unity among our and then work together in the younger generation of afghan leaders into going on and freeing our people from the taliban so what we want to do this, you know, create circumstances whereby even the taliban themselves, the moderate taliban could become part of the government, could be safe in our society. we are not against the taliban. we are against the way they are governing. the textbook is wrong for afghanistan. let s get some of the day's other news. sri lanka's central bank chief has warned an expected imf bailout package could take up to three months to arrive as protests continue over the country's economic crisis. the pakistani government has issued a heat warning after temperatures in parts of the country reached highs of 47 degrees celsius. the increase demand for energy due to the intense heat, combined with poor infrastructure and fuel shortages, has led to regular power cuts with some regions reporting blackouts of up to 14 hours

the taliban have also issued a number of other new restrictions.ve been barred from flying without a male companion. men and women will no longer be allowed in public parks on the same day. and all male government workers must grow beards or risk being fired. this is 16-year-old khadija from kabul, one of the many students who was told she had to go home after she excitedly arrived for her first day of school last month. >> it was like a day of mourning. it was like losing a loved one. everyone was crying. the girls were hugging and crying and saying goodbye. even if it would be very difficult, i still wanted to be a doctor. i like doctor's white coats but now i cannot do anything. my future israel and. amy: and this is a school teacher at a protest outside afghanistan's education ministry in kabul. the taliban are scared of an educated girl. if a girl is educated, the families educated. if a family is educated, nation is educated. amy: the move prompted u.s. officials to cancel talks with taliban leaders in doha last month to address the economic

to sergey viktorovich, one of the conditions for russia in a number of countries to recognize the taliban government is that the taliban ensure its inclusiveness, that is, the participation of all ethno-political forces in governing the country for 8 months, then either the old ones are in power, and the leaders of political parties fled, well, except for korzh and abdul new alternative political forces that ah would have declared their readiness to enter the new inclusive government have become over these months. they didn't identify themselves. please tell me how why do you think during this period? failed to ensure, and the formation of an inclusive government a truly inclusive government. and uh, is it possible at all in general in your opinion, and the formation of an inclusive government in afghanistan by the taliban. thank you, this is a big question . i think it’s quite artificial about whether for some reason or m, something was possible and something else was not possible, you can always argue. why did the americans and their allies fail in afghanistan? why did they stay there f

so if aces claim responsibility, where are the taliban?ries these operations. thank you so much for speaking to us, that is akram gizabi, just to underline as well that where that mosque was it is a hazara community, they are muslim hsia, and very much affected by that and other attacks over the past couple of weeks. —— shia. stay with us on bbc news — still to come: meet the ultimate company man. we'll tell you about the veteran brazilian worker who really, really loves hisjob. nothing, it seemed, was too big to withstand the force of the tornado. the extent of the devastation will lead to renewed calls for government to help to build better housing. internationally, there have already been protests. sweden says it received no warning of the accident. indeed, the russians at first denied anything had gone wrong. only when radioactivity levels began to increase outside russia were they forced to admit the accident. for the mujahideen, the mood here is of great celebration. this is the end of a 12—year war for them. they've taken the capita

but the deputy minister for taliban drug policy tells us this law is not being enforced. those who would refer as you can see from our announcement, we said that for the moment we will not be taking action against pharmacy planted opium this year. i will if we do this with him, many farmers will suffer great problems. lismore will grant bill wish to luckily in 2020 afghan has 10. was the world's largest opium producer, responsible for 85 percent of global production according to the he, when the taliban taxed the cultivation and trade of the crump. earning millions of u. s. dollars and helping finance their war. something they have never officially admitted. as i sunny explains to us why the taliban are trying to ban opium production, his institute collects data and research is drug cultivation in afghanistan. the objective is certainly to get the approval 1st of the international community. hopefully move closer and closer to the recognition of the regime, which is very important for them because it would been allow many other revenues to fluid. oh, so for the taliban mi

then came the taliban. i thought from the moment taliban entered and i'm going to send an especially couple till now. dead. even the reaching out 3 months later he's leaving afghan a stand for germany. his goal to make a name for himself in the berlin fashion theme. the with kills you is when you're not a life, even though you're breathing, you're not able to use your power. you don't need to use your talent. that's what killed the most. even if i'm going to stay, or anybody like me bursted, there's nothing to do with that. it's the day before. hum as departure. he isn't just leaving his home. he's leaving behind the dream of a modern afghanistan. with his modeling agency, he wanted to shake up conservative society. it should go without saying that women to can show their bodies and public very image that people think a female model based modeling. and she is known as a model. maybe she is present it comment found at the agency model stan and $29.00 team. it's already made quite a different i. when we did t

the buckets on the taliban known as the re key taliban, all the t t p has been carrying out attacks in the countries northwestern belt for decades. now it predominantly targets politicians and public areas. the ttp has wanted to overthrow the buckets on the state and impose sherry a law. more recently though, much like the african taliban. the ttp have been trying to project a softer image. it now says that he wants to take over buckets on tribal areas and make them independent, be boxed by the government has made it clear that its fight is not with the t t p and not with the african taliban. but experts have been critical of the strategy. so the 2 groups are common allegiances, ideology and finances. amazon or she, there is a journalist in lorem boxes on the he predicts these a lead strikes will increase tensions in the regions. a lot of tensions between fox valley even though they are gone when they. 4 government own living in facts down in support of blackstone. so we have a very chronic situation now. and thank you son, by taking it. if it's true that they have bomb valuable positi

the the taliban recently, band farmers from growing poppy. it's a plant that is used to produce heroin, but one senior member of the taliban admits that the band is not being enforced. why would, if ghana stands ultraconservative leaders look the other way? because they can't overlook reality. afghanistan is broke and foreign aid is not coming back anytime soon. one of the only ways to fund the state is by exporting opi. the brown mass oozing out of this, pompey plant is extremely valuable. and right now its harvest time in afghanistan. farmers are collecting the raw material necessary for opium, morphine and heroine production. but in early april the taliban forbade poppy cultivation, but to choose i would if this plant is bound from cultivation, my friend we will be forced to steal. i like it doesn't make any sense the harvest of the crops, like mays, all pomegranates, they don't do yielding of profit to live off and that's why the man under your machine we visited these farmers just as this year's crop was being harvested for 28 years moha

when you talk about opposition to the taliban, i think the important question is who will lead it?enough, trusted enough, charismatic enough, so that a large chunk of the afghan population would gather round that person? you look into the current situation and you don't get a lot of names. the way the russians and western countries began cooperating in space was one of the most heartening things that followed the collapse of the old soviet union. say their farewells... there was genuine comradeship onboard the international space station, but now in one of the completely unintended consequences of russia's invasion of ukraine, that is now in jeopardy. russia says it will end its cooperation with the west in space until sanctions is on russia are lifted. i talked to becky morrell, our science editor. collaborations which have been been going on for decades between russia and the west have started to collapse, really, so in the last few weeks we have had a joint european and russian mission to mars, which is now not going to be a joint mission any more, europe has said it doesn't wan

this neighborhood has previously been the target of taliban attacks.sts warn violence may be on the rise. >> the most important thing we have to consider is the fragile nature of the spirit can easily be disrupted, as we have seen today. therefore, i think a lot has to be done on the part of the taliban to provide -- to the entire population. but, it is going to be impossible for them. if you see the economic hardships, the disenfranchisement, the public discontent that is going with every passing day, all of these things combined together will make it difficult for them. >> back at school, security forces arrive to seal off the area. the taliban has can -- has been cracking down on armed groups since they came to power. this latest attack is a reminder that security remains one of its biggest challenges. >> ha son abbas -- author of the taliban revival, says the situation in the country is getting worse. >> you can imagine in this month of ramadan, a month of peace, blessings and spirituality. those who act in such fashion, this explains the nature of
