that's why i worked so hard with senator shaheen of new hampshire to provide funding to help clean up this source of pollution. finally, and in my view one of the most important features of this bill is the broadband investment. i want to reiterate the significance of our historic $65 billion investment in broadband. senator shaheen and i worked literally night and day to negotiate this section with our colleagues here in the senate and with the administration, particularly secretary raimondo at the department of commerce. this will make a real difference in the lives of americans, particularly those living in rural areas who do not have access to internet service at all in some areas or who have access only to unreliable, very slow service. it has become increasingly clear in recent years and especially in light of the pandemic that broadband is no longer a luxury. it is a necessity. and, madam president, i can't tell you how many people i have talked to in maine about this problem. i have talked to a selectman on swans island who was telling me that the residents of swans island wer

for the last 15 years, shaheen and his family have lived in exile in doha.ifestyle he leads here is miles away from the battlefields of afghanistan. if you were to return to kabul, how would you govern? there was in the past some mistakes that we have learned from because at that time we were new to the government. to stop education of women and girls. that is not our goal. of course, education is their right and it is much needed. and when there is the education there, of course it is they have the right to work. so we want to end this phase of occupation and bring about another government which is acceptable by the people of afghanistan. so it would be one person, one vote? we've seen a number of targeted killings in afghanistan at the moment. the taliban deny that they're involved. so who's behind it? some people who are military people who are fighting against us, we are fighting against them. that's clear. but other people who are the common people, who are the asset of this country. it is, i think, no reasons and no rationality to kill them, if i kill

suhail shaheen a short time ago.ny must now be terrified because they are facing either an islamic emirate or bloody violence. exactly, and suhail shaheen wanted to make clear that bloody violence was something they wanted to avoid. we are hearing from the government as well as various different groups within afghanistan, who are saying kabul needs to remain intact. they have a memory of the city being flattened during the civil war, which is not something they want to see happen again. that is also part of the narrative, having built this country, this city for two decades, young women i am speaking to tell me they are terrified. they are destroying documents, for example, that have any mention that they may have gone to the american university of afghanistan or other institutions which have links to the west. so many people right now, so much chaos and desperation, so many people unsure about their future. its, unsure about their future. a colleague of mine spoke earlier about— colleague of mine spoke earlier about

suhail shaheen was promising a peaceful afghanistan, and a taliban that had changed.was about to meet another taliban leader. that was just a contact who's been communicating with a taliban commander from helmand, and we're hoping to meet him. i've just heard that he's ready to meet, not in helmand, but here in kabul. i mean, what's surprising about all of this is that quite a well known commander can make his way from helmand to the capital and feel quite comfortable being here. it makes you realise just how much they've infiltrated the city. the commander i was meeting had been released as part of the prisoner swap that took place last summer ? in the hope it would pave the way for peace talks. it's very hot, does he want water? do you want the taliban regime to come back into power? if we talk about law, orderandjustice, if someone were to steal or commit adultery, what should happen to them? what about girls going to school? can girls go to school andup until which age? but in your districts and villages that you live and fight, do girls go to school? and if so, u

we asked shaheen.eas that you reported to have taken there are reports of video of women lashed in public and people having their hands chopped off, girls schools destroyed, hospitals destroyed. why that? what does that say what afghanistan would look like under the taliban again. >> those are fake -- from the past years. >> you say it is all propaganda and none is real? >> yes. it is wrong. that is against our marianne: the wild fire has been burning for a week in northern california and it continues to burn out of control. this one of several blaze in the drought-stricken state that burned thousands of homes and caused people to vac rate. vice president kamala harris meets with singapore's president and prime minister monday, kicking off a week-long visit to southeast asia. the trip is to strengthen ties with key allies in the region. they hope to bolster ties with both nations to counter china's influence in the region. sacrifg afghanistan. >> if put in today's contact. taliban come to a district wi

so her shaheen was telling me a few moments ago. does it look like the picture that is emerging here? is that one of a tale? bond strategies simply to surround the city or on all or as many sides as possible . and pressure the security forces, the government, what's left of it to simply unilaterally hand over and surrender. it seemed like an i don't know if you saw the new alert, be a just release that there is breaking news that the art is that the legation in presidential policy in copper right now. negotiating all signs and i cannot confirm that the be recorded news via english that i looked at. i cannot complement independently, but it seems like, as you said, the sticky point. i said earlier, i think the point is that whether it's going to be a complete surrender, meaning cala bond will take over and then they decide what does an inclusive garmen look like? but it, it, inclusive government mean who should be included or it's going to be hand over to a transition attorney that is acceptable to many side and has some sense of inc

we asked shaheen.orted to have taken there are reports of video of women lashed in public and people having their hands chopped off, girls schools destroyed, hospitals destroyed. why that? what does that say what afghanistan would look like under the taliban again. >> those are fake -- from the past years. >> you say it is all propaganda and none is real? >> yes. it is wrong. that is against our policy. shingles? oh... you mean bill. he's been a real pain. again with the bill... what? it looks like a face. ...hearing about it 24/7 is painful enough... i don't want to catch it. well, you can't catch shingles, but the virus that causes it may already be inside you. does that mean bill might have company? - stop. you know shingles can be prevented. shingles can be whaaaaat? yeah prevented. you can get vaccinated. oh, so... i guess it's just you, me and bill then. i'm making my appointment. bill's all yours... 50 years or older? get vaccinated for shingles today. >> welcome to fox news live. in los angeles

senator shaheen ?reen is the senate in a -- mrs. shaheen: is the senate in a quorum call? the presiding officer: it is not. mrs. shaheen: i'm here to speak in support of the infrastructure and jobs act, which is the bipartisan legislation that's before the chamber. that will make historic investment in our nation's core infrastructure, and i'm pleased to follow my colleague and friend from utah, senator romney, who was one of those who i worked with to help negotiate this package. this is historic legislation that provides $550 billion in new federal investments over the next five years to respond to the needs that are facing our country. this bill will rebuild crumbling roads and bridges and tunnels across the country. it will provide clean drinking water in american homes and address harmful contaminants. it will increase connectivity in our communities to bring broadband to even the most rural parts of our country. it will prioritize sustainable solutions to improve our infrastructure systems for future generations and it will combat climate change by making the monumen

thanks to rob merrick and faiza shaheen. goodbye for now.

so has shaheen, the telephones, international media spokesmen. he says the group wants peace, but military aggression has force that to fight our.

so have shaheen. here is the international media spokesman for the taliban. he joins us from here in doha, via skype. thank you for your time. i want to put that question to you that we just heard from earlier. guest who is questioning how the tele bond can be a true partners of peace. how anyone can believe that it wants to negotiate a settlement when civilians are being killed in f, thousands in the midst of such intense fighting on the ground. what's your response to that? our response is clear. we want a peaceful solution of the issue that we we waited for for the last one year. but unfortunately, you may have seen that the head of the college ministration on the day of he did. he announced a military strategy for 3 months in 6 months and after that they started banding, city hospitals, clinics, schools of intellect. god, they have done all these things and it wasn't above the super part of that is not the commitment to peace in the conciliation. but when there are announcing the military is taught to g, we have the capability office taking what cities ba

well, the most significant gain, however, is the northern city of condos for hell shaheen. as the taliban international media spokesman, he says they want peace.

in doha, i met with suhail shaheen, a member of the taliban peace negotiation team.would you govern? there was in the past some mistakes that we have learned from because at that time we were new to the government. to stop education of women and girls, that is not our goal. of course, education is their right and it is much needed. while suhail shaheen continues to talk about peace, it's clearly not a view shared by taliban commanders in afghanistan. back in kabul, taliban commander mulana from helmand agreed to meet me. do you think that there should be a power—sharing deal with the current government, like the discussions that are being had in doha? translation: we would be happy to have a joint government under. the umbrella of the islamic sharia. a sharia—based system in afghanistan is like the system the taliban used to have. if someone were to steal or commit adultery, what should happen to them? translation: all this is clearly stated in the koran. _ if someone steals, there is a punishment. for example, for some thefts, the punishment is cutting off the hand

>> representative shaheen, i'm an aggie and can only count to my fingers and toes and i defer to you math but that sounds accurate. >> there was discussion with respect to poll watchers. does the legislation not on page 11 allowing an election judge to call law enforcement at the request -- at their request of a poll watcher be removed if a poll watcher is disrupting the peace or violating any type of statute? mr. murr: that is correct, representative shaheen and in addition, there's not a restriction for law enforcement to be contacted with those scenarios to exist even today. mr. shaheen: with respect to poll watchers and concern of them interrupting the process is it true on page 12 poll watchers must take an oath not to disrupt the poll process or harass voters? mr. murr: the legislation describes a express oath that a poll watcher must take as part of the process of being a poll watcher and being appointed by an appointing authority to represent them essentially as their eyes and ears at a voting location. eyes and years. >> and didn't you point out during this topic that curren

thanks to rob merrick and faiza shaheen. goodbye for now. hello, and welcome to the film review with me, anna smith. i'm filling in for mark kermode to review this week's releases. so, legend has it that if you look in the mirror and say his name five times, he will appear behind you. candyman. anthony... candyman. anthony, no. candyman. stop! stop it. candyman. stop it! 0k. you better not do that. 0k, 0k. whispers: candyman. you play too much! ow, no, stop! yes, the candyman is back. while there have been other sequels, this is framed as a direct sequel to the 1992 horror about a supernatural killer with a hook for a hand, who is hunting the housing projects of chicago's cabrini green. fast forward to the present, and the area's being gentrified with luxury loft condos. it's a comfortable life for visual artist anthony, played by yahya abdul—mateen ii, and his gallery director partner, brianna, played by teyonah parris. at least until anthony decides that the best way to get artistic inspiration is to invoke said candyman. let's just say hi

earlier, i spoke to taliban spokesman suhail shaheen — about what they plan to do now.ir properties, their lives are safe, there will be no restraint on anything. we are deserving of the people and of this country. our leadership had instructed ourforces to remain at the gate of kabul, not to enter the city, we are awaiting a peaceful transfer of power. when you say peaceful transfer of power, what do you mean? what is actually likely to happen? it means that the city and the power should be handed over to the islamic emirate of afghanistan and then we will have an afghan inclusion, islamic government, in which all afghans will have participation. when you say participation, do you mean one vote, one person? what do you mean by participation? participation means that we will have, in the government, other afghans, they will be a part in the future government. but it will fall under the umbrella of the government of the taliban? the islamic emirate, as you describe it? yes, there will be, as i said, an afghan inclusion, islamic government. will there be a delegation goin

so ho shaheen is the tale, bonds, international media spokes. and he says the group wants peace, military aggression has forced to fight. our response is clear. we want a peaceful solution of the issue that we we waited for for the last one year. but unfortunately, you may have seen that the, the head of the college ministration and the fee that he announced military strategy for 3 months and 6 months. and after that, they started ban bangor, cities, hospitals, clinics, the schools of at least for huge wildfire as a burning out of control in greece. a growing blaze on the island of via has in golf 5 more villages. more than 2000 people have been evacuated since last week. a major you in climate change report is due to be released in the coming out. it's expected to paint a bleak picture of a world already living with the consequences of climate change. troops and moses, big back by rhonda forces say they've recaptured a key town from rebel fighters. the ports has been a strong hold for the group known as our chabad. the army has been struggling

joining us now is the leading voice on this issue in congress for many years senator jean shaheen. about this a lot, but now you've got legislation and this would create a white house national security council post. they have someone appointed now, but this would make it statutory to oversee the response, the medical access, government wide. is not what bill burns, the highly regarded cia director just did to appoint someone for his agency to try to find out what's happened here. this is a veteran cia officer who we understand was deeply involved in the bin laden hunt. so has a great success record. that's not good enough. >> well, i'm very pleased with the work bill burns has done, we all very much appreciate that. this legislation builds on what we did in the defense authorization bill that was just passed out of committee. it not only sets up the enter agency position and, unfortunately, certainly under the previous administration and while we're seeing a lot of progress under this administration a siloed approach to dealing with this. different based on which agency the public

it seems that we may have lost the connection there with shaheen. we were going to ask him about the future of women in afghanistan under taliban control. we'll see if we can at least get that connection. unfortunately we lost it. the english spokesperson for the taliban >>> joining me is a journalist who lived in afghanistan for years covers both that country as well as the region. she is also now an author, an acclaimed author. thank you so much for joining us. for journalists like yourself i want to get your initial reactions to everything you see. you watch the taliban take control in a span of two weeks. heard from a former afghan minister of parliament afraid for her life and heard from a taliban spokesperson how they intend to govern. i want your initial reactions to it all. >> i will tell you that pretty much everyone i've spoken to who spent time in afghanistan, a journalist, diplomat, ngo worker or tried to find work, we are all devastated. i know there are people out there saying what were the 20 years for? these 20 years for those women

amanda worked with senator shaheen on this same legislation as well as this senator, and i'm pleased to partner with senator shaheen again in introducing today's measure that will affect -- hopefully affect more states adopting this legislation. this bill that we sponsored then gives each state a financial incentive to adopt new rights for survivors in all sex crime cases, modeled on the same rights that victims in federal cases now enjoy. each state that extends these same rights to survivors of sexual violence would then be eligible to receive a federal grant under the legislation that we've introduced. the amount of each state grant would be calculated based on the formula that is used to calculate stop grants funding to states under a program that's authorized by the violence against women act. finally, this measure that we have introduced would authorize $20 million annually for each of the next five fiscal years to support the implementation of the new grant program established by this bill. so once again i want to thank senator shaheen for joining me in leading this legislatio

different nord stream 2 sanctions, both of which i authored, along with democratic senator jeanne shaheen, both of which passed the senate and the house that were signed into law, both of which enjoyed massive near-unanimous bipartisan support. in addition to that, strong russia sanctions that are mandatory, that are designed to force a president to sanction russia, even if they are reluctant to do so like joe biden is. right now, the administration is defying the law, and so the message that i have conveyed to the administration repeatedly is follow the law. i'm not asking for a change in the law. i'm saying follow the law. that's number one. if you have an administration that is openly defying the law. but number two, that is openly defying an overwhelming bipartisan con veterans of congress. this is not a narrow partisan issue. and i would note after joe biden waived the sanctions on nord stream 2, in the senate foreign relations committee, i introduced an amendment to reverse his decision. every single senator but one on that committee voted in favor of my amendment. the senator from

earlier, my colleague, mariana marsey, spoke to us hell shaheen. the itala bands political spokesman and a member of its negotiations team in doha. she began by asking whether the taliban were expecting an attack. everyone knew that this, this all in one all worked talking, but it was the hatch or huge crowd of people. is it not us but it to take everyone because some of those were inside. but yet, how's about people inside that you're walking outside we are taking them. we are not allowing that one. d day when some of those come to walk out are asking on requesting that we should allow those without the any proper document to, to work with the airport. but we are telling them that. a this is caddies that is called for tub because they, they should not be they should have proper documents. if so this happens when you pen for what in best incidence. and it is because of such hold your foul but, and bought me by without any good. can i ask you, i'm not happy. i s k, it is not a challenge to you when they have staged some horrific attacks over the pas

so hale shaheen. i it was clear that what they're looking for is the other side to basically hand over weapons and join and join the tony bon. when you look at what this line this dropped recently from the african, an interior minister quoted by reuters tweeting that the transition will happen peacefully. that sort of confident line is it indicated that they are reaching an agreement for some kind of surrender to the tommy bon. well, i spoke to you a special representative zelma has little that a short time ago called him in. hi. and when we heard gunfire, and we heard that the telephone, there was some talk, the telephone it into the city. i said, have the negotiations broken down. and he said no, in fact, they are going very well. so this they have as far as i guess, avoiding conflicts, they seem to be going well and avoiding some type of military takeover of coll but certainly the taliban holding the reins here. i mean, in the last 9 days they have managed to take and i've almost lost count, but i

so hail shaheen, who says the group has always been came to reach a peaceful solution to the conflict in the country. our response is clear. we want a peaceful solution of the issue, the problem that we we waited for for the last one year. but unfortunately, you may have seen that the, the hate of the company ministration, and he announced the military subsidy for 3 months in 6 months. and after that, they started ban bangor, cities, hospitals, clinics, schools, in that god, they have done all these things and it one bomb the super part of that is not the commitment to peace. in the conciliation, when there are announcing the military is taught to g, we have the capability of taking water city's back to we were waiting for them and our policy is via the for pc, consolation. but of course, when, when they launch the up in the us, they started bound binding against the weedy after. when really acted, we talk to provincial center, but still lower. finally, caesar negotiated settlement of the issue that's going on to the news. hundreds of trees now battling 4 major wildfires across greece

we're just hearing from taliban spokesman's hell shaheen saying that the ice is k group and i've gone is done poses absolutely no threat to their rule and their ability to establish some sort of government. now, because the very main target has been foreign forces rather than afghans. what do you, what do you make of that? well, i'd say the talents inability to prevent this attack today certainly belies that claim. it will be very interesting to see of the how the taliban deals with i s. k . we've known that they've been fighting for years. they have very distinct ideological difference says, and what the taliban will be able to successfully put down their own insurgency now, will be an interesting test for them. what do you mean by that? so yes, you're saying that there will now be how, when you say their own insurgency, i was just thinking, factional fighting within the taliban or members of the taliban that has defected to, to i. s k. well, i'm just, you know, they're now going to be on the receiving end of what us forces i've been in afghanistan for some time. they're now the gove

on the outskirts of the city of missouri sharif and the district of did not very far from the 29. shaheen corps that is protect, that is to protect the northern provinces. but the front line is outside of the main army base. so you have a very difficult situation for the african special forces for the african government. because this is the moment of panic, the taliban have created that deliberately. i did say a why a flash earlier that the her out, her police age k would be taken by the taliban kandahar courses in the south. that's been in a predominately tell about controlled area. anyway. i imagine most african government forces are concentrated more to the north and around the capital. so what does this bode for people in cobbled and will it be next? what do we have to really remember that these events are unfolding and a very rapid pace? there's a lot of confusion around the complex local dynamics where provincial governors of either set entered to the tal about or have entered the cities like in the case of was me wanting safe passage. i think it also shows you a heartbreaking. busy

so shaheen is the international media spokesman for the taliban. he says fighters have taken most city surrounding the capital, but have not entered cobble as yet through our forces have not entered the city. and we just issued a statement saying that our forces will not enter the city. we are talking in the waiting piece for transfer, a transition, awful capital city. so, and also there will be spatial, i didn't mean for the maintenance of security of the city. so that personal property and i got a borman installation offices are not hot on the 4th. if they have going that we see they have stopped the fighting and they have joined us and all probably says an all majority of the problems that. 1 they have joined. 1 forces and they have handed or they come with the way and it will thing and they are their names. 1 are just that, so the proper steps will be taken in pure job order for how they will be invaded in the government. the people will coming to us in all the provincial centers, will, our reports is inter, so it is a popular uprising and all

i also spoke with the health shaheen. the tele bonds, international media spokesman, he says they want peace, but government aggression has force them to fight. our response is clear. we want a peaceful solution of the issue. the problem that we we waited for for the last one year. but unfortunately, you may have seen that the, the head of the company is ministration. on the day of the that he announced a military strategy for 3 months in 6 months. and after that they started ban bangor, cities, hospitals, clinics, schools, alter. there are, has gone behind taliban lines in the province of helmand there calabasas on his control, the majority of territory, as i trying to take over the regional capital, laska gall eunice. i. jesse has this exclusive report from the district of gerson, bradley. while there has been fight in english for god in the recent days, whether parts of the hillman province are firmly under charley bun, control, i only 20 kilometers, separate the city of kandahar from the stronghold of the taliban. we

not much open that since however been started giving these statements which we just heard from mr. shaheen that are presented again, i'm not saying you should borrow and believe in all of that, but the thing we want to be different. we will allow the minorities to operate in what they were saying to some of the the she must them saying, allowing them to continue with their activities during the month of month autumn. in some areas they said go and don't go to the school. the point again is enough negative data, there are some positive limited time that we have since and again, i just want to give an idea that maybe if, but there are some of those that relatively moderate. and i know this is a controversial point. i'm making some moderate elements, entirely bonds if they become dominant and capital b, because they need international money. they need international support. they don't want to go the order out and below, but other is normally if i mean to say that. so i'm just trying to give some hope or making an argument. it's possible, or let's see what they do. if they do a pick of what st
