Another senior taliban official has said that afghan women will be banned from playing sports wise to bbc. Persian correspondent summa saffy and. I began by asking her about the women who've been protesting on the streets of afghanistan and the price they paid for it. Edison style announced some restrictions on 'em females abbreviations for example in schools and universities the resistance in panjshir and the blockade. There people were struggling with food with internet and everything else And the banks were shot at women were told not to come into the offices because they're fighting ships are not trained or taliban fighters are not trained to deal with Civilians so everything just came together and sparked this ungar that was brewing in the society. Anyway and that force people to come on the streets and most of them were women yes. They were directed by different groups. Because there is this thinking that strike. The iron is hard because the taliban or all these horrible things and you need to come out and voice your concerns But there's also a group who say give the taliban time because it's still early days. Let's see what they're doing. But i think for most women. It's pretty clear what they're doing. They are to be imposing of restrictions. That many african women are not used to an simply. They're not prepared to put up with you getting a sense from speaking to your your friends. Your colleagues your family in afghanistan that women are prepared to listen.

It hasn't happened to women yet but even how things were in the past. I think they can am envision. The sort of scenario that their mothers and grandmothers may have dealt with under the communists so there are both groups and i think the ones who are ready to go onto the streets will continue to go onto the streets and dimond walks. They think they deserve on what they do out. What we mustn't forget of course. Is that many. Afghans have grown up under a western style government. Goals have been allowed to have an education. Women have had jobs a degree of independence. Do you feel that women and girls will suddenly except after twenty years being told no you can no longer do this or do you get a sense. There will be a growing up rising and discontentment an a will to have their voices heard. You're right to say that the law's twenty years have been very free for afghans in the entire region but athens..

"The taliban have declared victory. In the eastern provinces of punchier the part of afghanistan to fall under their control the group posted of their pfizer raising their flag in the territory however the region's resistance groups maintain. They haven't been defeated. Let's get the latest now with surgeon. Gazelle a visiting teacher at the london school of economics. Welcome to the program. So is john. Do you think the war is really over now homeless. Do we actually know about what's been happening in punchier. Well the war has perhaps An ended in the sense that the taliban have declared victory across afghanistan but there will be another conflict internally where you will see pockets of resistance across the ghanistan against taliban role and that is something that will likely last for years come because there is resistance towards the taliban at the moment it is not significant enough to concern them but it is something that is noticeable and it is getting a support across many of the urban centers of the country. And what about in in pens year. The region's resistance groups. They claim that they are still fighting. Well the resistance in punchier. Is that now off. A insurgency ironically similar to how the taliban used to be previously the punchier valley is a geographically very difficult place to control. It's god valleys and ridges and no one had previously been able to take control of it. Not even the soviets during the occupation of aghanistan in the nineteen eighties. So the fact that the taliban claiming victory and they've been able to hoist their flag in the capital of punchier is significant but they don't entirely controlled into the whole region off the punt share valley. There are still some pockets of resistance.

The dotan never managed to control back in the nineteen nineties when the group had control most of the country and so clearing this valley now it really clearly displays how much more of a formative fighting force the taliban is. Today than it was twenty years ago. They have much more training. They've been fighting against one of the most Powerful militaries in the world for the last two decades and they're also much better equipped force and this is largely thanks to desertions and surrender deals with afghan government forces in the lead up to the fall of kabul so now the taliban controls the entirety of the country we are waiting for them to announce the official formation of their government and meanwhile there are still so many afghans who were trying to get out you have been reporting that kabul airport is now open again for domestic travel What does that mean susannah. What does that look like. It's still a bit of a mess couple airport. I'm the only reason that some domestic flights have resumed is because of this temporary radio. Communication has been set up by country engineers between pilots and air traffic controllers. But there's no other navigation system set up at the airport. They all damaged during the chaos of the evacuation which means that all pilots when they're taking off and landing. They need to do it by sight. And this means that any commercial airline who wants to come in and out of kabul airport is just not going to be able to for insurance reasons and because of international aviation guidelines and steve mentioned earlier. These four planes that were supposed to evacuate people have been unable to do so. What's going on yet. So what i've heard from some of the people who are organizing this evacuation effort and some of the people who are waiting to be evacuated is that they've been waiting for days now and it's because the taliban is not giving these planes permission to take off most of the people who are waiting and it's hundreds of people who are waiting to be evacuated from zar. These are people who didn't make it onto planes in kabul so they are seeing this as their last chance to get out of the country But the taliban if true the taliban is not giving these planes permission to leave the country it means that they are going back on a promise that they gave that afghans would have freedom of movement after they took control and we should note there are us visa holders among that group trying to get outright that is true and we should just say that the us government has not confirmed the status of these planes. I wanna talk about women susanna because there have been these photos circulating online of these protests. Afghan women out in the streets in kabul demanding their rights and these these protests these rallies have turned violent. What can you tell us. Yep these women have shown incredible courage coming out onto the streets. I pressed taliban's spokesman. Zombie elementary head about this at the press conference that i just returned from. He said it was bad. People who carried out this violence he did condemn the violence when asked about it directly but he said the taliban are asking all people men and women not to protest until security is better restored in the country. Susannah george of the washington post reporting from kabul. Thank you thank you. So this week marks twenty years since the nine eleven attacks. These attacks obviously provoked america's twenty year war in afghanistan. The effects of the war depend on where you are nine. Eleven means one thing in new york and it means something different in kabul. It has other meanings in the homes of american troops. That were killed or for detainees of the president guantanamo bay. Steve is looking at the war this week. From another critical vantage point. He's reporting from pakistan which shares a sixteen hundred mile border with afghanistan and has always had an outsized influence over what happens in that country steve. So from where you sit. What do people there in pakistan think of what is happening just over the border in afghanistan. Well i thinking about a lot. This is a country that was called upon to help the us in afghanistan which it did. It was the scene of a lot of spillover violence. Many thousands of people were killed but this is a country that was also used as a safe haven by taliban fighters and where osama bin laden hid for years until the us killed him in two thousand eleven now. Of course the taliban are back in power as you've been discussing so we spoke about that with hamad mir who's a leading journalist here. The legacy of osama bin laden is sitting in the presidential palace in kabul know who is ruling afghanistan no taliban who are taliban. The biggest allies of osama bin laden and the america signed agreement with them. Devi capture of kabul by the taliban and the establishment of a new government of taliban in kabul is the vindication of songaila signed a peace agreement with the taliban. now rachel. you'll recall that peace deal between the us. And the taliban and twenty twenty said the taliban would cut ties with al qaeda. Nobody thinks they have the united nations among others. Says they didn't and that al qaeda is still there one of the problems and complexities for the neighbor next door right so just explain pakistan's relationship with the taliban over the years. I realized that the big question. Oh yeah well. Us officials have considered pakistan far too close to the taliban over the years especially a group called the connie network which a top military official once called a veritable arm of the isi interservices intelligence. It's pakistani military intelligence. Pakistani officials have denied that but they admit they of course talk to the taliban They just say they don't control them. Taliban in this situation did not do exactly what pakistan wanted. They wanted to negotiate situation instead. It's a complete takeover. There certainly was some glee and celebration here in pakistan but also questions about how this is supposed to work concerned about side effects and the isi chief himself became the first senior pakistani official to visit kabul over the weekend so the us used to say a lot and it was true. That pakistan was a safe haven for fighters who who went into afghanistan. Could the reverse happened now. That is one possibility pakistan as you know. Rachel has its own version of the taliban which is attacked the government and many targets here And it's conceivable that they could get safe haven in afghanistan. And that's something pakistani officials want to guard against the pakistani taliban by the way seemed to be growing more active. They claimed responsibility for a bombing in western pakistan. That killed several people in recent days on the whole this doesn't feel like the most dangerous time in pakistan but there's an awareness that could change quickly. I we appreciate your reporting today in this week. steve. Thanks..

"Airport to allow more Afghan civilians to be evacuated. The issue will be the main point of discussion at Tuesday's virtual G seven with a decision expected after the meeting, Our South Asia correspondent, Yoga telemetry reports. Thousands of people, foreign nationals and Afghans continue to throng the gates of the airport. Amidst the crowds, even those with the right permits aren't able to get through. Some have been waiting there for days with little shelter of food. At least 20 have been killed in shootings and stampedes at the airport since last week. More than 10,000 were evacuated on Monday. But time is running out. The Taliban have said that if foreign forces stay beyond the end of August, it would be considered a violation. Many are hoping US President Joe Biden will announce an extension off the deadline, NATO official has told the Reuters news agency. The evacuation of international staff and Afghans is being conducted on a war footing and better crowd management is needed. Namir Iqbal is in Washington. The US government says it's been in daily contact with the Taliban. One of the issues that has come up is who is in charge of Kabul airport where many thousands of people are crowded outside, desperately trying to leave after the Taliban swept to power. That price, a spokesman for the State Department said. There is an agreement between the US its allies and the Taliban. There's a functioning airport is needed right now, the U. S. Is relying on the hardline Islamist group for security there. The U. N Human Rights Council is holding an emergency meeting today to discuss Afghanistan. This follows warning from eight agencies about the deepening humanitarian crisis and growing concern that the Taliban are not honoring their promises. Rights groups on the U. N to set up an independent body to investigate allegations that former Afghan army soldiers and political opponents of being targeted And the Taliban militants have carried out summary executions. But the draft council resolution submitted by Pakistan Millie calls on the U. N to follow developments and report back in December. Scientists say the deadly floods that struck part of Europe in July, killing more than 220 people were made more likely by climate change. They found that while the immediate cause was heavy rainfall on already sodden ground, global warming increased the likelihood of such downpours by a factor of 91 of the researchers. Martin van asked of the University of Twente in the Netherlands. That it had been once in 400 years event. We can expect this to happen again. But we're also not saying it's likely that will happen again next year. This is In the current climate already changed climate and still in the changing climate of years to come. Still a rare event but a rare event We should increasingly be prepared for live from London. I'm David Harper and this is the latest world News from the BBC. The Asian Development Bank says the pandemic may have pushed as many as 80 million people in the region into extreme poverty. Last year, the ADP highlighted rising unemployment and a reduction in working hours in Asian economies disproportionately affecting poorer households. It said people already struggling to make ends meet, where at risk of slipping into a life of poverty. The U. S. Vice President Kamala Harris has accused Beijing of coercion and intimidation over its hotly disputed claims to large parts of the South China Sea. She was speaking in Singapore on the first leg of the Southeast Asian Tour. Katie Silver reports from the city state China's actions in the South China Sea are unlawful and a threat to the billions of dollars in trade that flows through its waters each day, according to Kamala Harris. She pledged Washington would stand with allies to maintain an open Indo Pacific. But stressed that countries didn't have to choose between the United States and China. The five day trip is being seen as a diplomatic charm offensive to combat Beijing's growing influence in Southeast Asia. So far there have been agreements with Singapore to cooperate on cyber security, climate change and combating Covid 19.

"News. I'm Mary Louise Kelly and I'm Ari Shapiro. The Kabul airport remains extremely busy and volatile. The number of Americans and Afghans being evacuated is ramping up hitting new one day highs. We now know U. S forces are sometimes leaving the airport to assist American citizens who can't make it there on their own. For the latest. We're joined by NPR National security correspondent Greg Murray. Hi, Greg. Hi, Ari. What more can you tell us about US troops going outside the airport Well, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby says U. S forces have picked up Americans by helicopter on at least two occasions in recent days. Now the troops have also ventured out beyond the airport perimeter on the ground. I don't want to leave you with the idea that we're somehow patrolling the streets of Kabul. But on occasion where there's a need, and there's a capability to meet that need, our commanders on the ground are doing what they feel they need to do to help Americans reach the airport. Now. He didn't give us any details on these operations but acknowledged the military is in frequent contact with the Taliban, said the military's evacuated several 1000 US citizens and an estimated several 1000 more remain, and we now know that three babies have been born on evacuation flights. Wow. Obviously, this is a risky endeavor. What more can you tell us about the security situation Well today, and unidentified sniper opened fire and killed a member of the Afghan security forces that are helping out at the airport. Biden, president Biden said yesterday in the Pentagon said today they're trying to expand the perimeter for multiple reasons to guard against an attack like this, so you don't have a crush of people right up against the building. There have been people trampled to death. And some people who are eligible to get on the flight say they can't get through these crowds to get to the inside of the airport. Now. Taliban leaders have issued a statement saying that the U. S. And its allies have to wrap up this operation by August, 31st a week from tomorrow. What if that doesn't happen? Well, the Taliban says this would cross a red line and there's nothing magical about August. 31st Ari. This is just a date that Biden has said. And now the Taliban are holding him to it. Biden's national security advisor Jake Sullivan, said that the US is seeking to end the airlift and to remove all the U. S troops by the end of this self imposed deadline at the end of the month, But they are leaving open the possibility of extending it. There were more than 10,000 evacuations yesterday by the U. S military. That number rises to 16,000. If you Include those taken by other countries and charter flights. This was by far the biggest single day numbers yet, but thousands more still want to get out and Biden in the military will have to decide at some point if this airlift is over. The military will also need a day or two to pack up, so it's a tight deadline. With so much attention and focus on Kabul and the airport. What can you tell us about what's happening in other parts of Afghanistan? There's already this feeling that it's kind of going dark in the other parts of the country as the Taliban takeover, the foreign media and Afghan journalists are leaving. It's going to be much harder to get information out in the very near future. We do know there's been some fighting and opposition groups say they've claimed some some areas from the Taliban in the Panjshir Valley in the north. But that points to the prospect of of continued fighting, but we don't have details. It's NPR national security correspondent Greg Murray. Thank you. My pleasure. To covid news now and a quote milestone in the nation's battle against the pandemic. That is what the Biden administration is calling the Food and Drug Administration's decision today to give full approval to the fighter Covid 19 vaccine. The long awaited decision could give the nation's vaccination campaign a desperately.

"For the tick-tock international moment and This first story is a pretty cool. One It's one that i'm super excited about. And it's it's it's a story of hope and also Resistance under pressure. So let's take it down to the country of afghanistan. that's we're going to call it not that new bullshit that the taliban is trying to get on there and you'll understand why guys because as the country of afghanstan falls under the control of the ultra oppressive and murderous taliban government and the entire population of terrified. Women are being forced to do things like burn their diplomas for fear of retribution. If the taliban were to find out that they were educated and female at the same time dare they. All hope seems to be lost but there is one glimmer of hope guys. That's in the form of the province of pange panja sheer who refused to surrender to the taliban and yesterday the flag of the northern alliance was raised overpaying this year for the first time since two thousand one symbolizing the only remaining free place and the last stand for freedom and all about gas tim. It's pretty it's pretty cool northern alliance. It's got a bad ass name to the northern alliance bad ass. That's partly why it has that sick name. It's very fitting and guys on late monday evening. The vice president of afghanistan soleil and ahmad masud the son of the lion of panjshir. Amman son masud were spotted boarding a helicopter on their way to bring all of the anti-taliban commanders together to reform the northern alliance guys and the panjshir valley. There bringing them which is now the headquarters of the resistance. It was like an action movie. Seeing these gentlemen keeping my misses the vice president of afghanistan who did not flee and the son of the former head of the resistance. The line of panjshir So the region of finish your sits in the panjshir valley which was unable to be conquered by the soviets during their occupation of the country. They held strong unable to be conquered by the taliban in their first occupation in the late nineties into the early two thousands and partly guys because of its geography but in great part because of its people so the senior masud was killed by taliban assassin on september ninth. Two thousand one. A good looking guy right. That's a leader. That's gonna command some respect so he lateral stately appearance about him. He led the resistance from nine hundred. Seventy nine all the way up until two thousand one through The soviet invasion the first taliban invasion until he was killed just days before september eleventh. And obviously we know that so his son. Twenty years later is now reforming the northern alliance and the old mujahedeen fighters to fight back against the taliban which is very fucking cool. Now a mood. Ahmad masud has declared panjshir as a free place for minorities and women and democracy and with ten thousand northern alliance freedom fighters under his command. He's vowed to stand with people until the end and remain bastion of freedom in the country. Nice s. impressive impressive. he's the president. Now he was the president. He's the president. Yeah well no Ahmad masuda was was not to the vice president. I guess technically is. The president of monmouth is the leader of the of the situation. The vice president is sticking helping you okay. Cool he's the vice president's now the president has boys. This is looking to castle from lord of the rings. It's like it's like munis terrific like the the castle. It's impregnable you. Just can't they're gonna hold it down on that last four they give up their freedom so like like helm's deep. It's pretty cool. It's a hard region access for sure but these guys are giving hope so. There is a resistance. They're good and he's he's following in his father's footsteps. That's pretty bad ass net. That has never been taken. They can't help it. Stay while i mean the the taliban they've been doing do you guys see all the press they've been doing they've been on a press. Tour is a non stop taliban taking questions about like what they're trying to do. They claim they want peace. So hopefully panjshir is able to offer like a democratic alternative to the rest of afghanistan. They take taking questions or they're just doing their own questions. They're like yes. We're instituting sharia law. But that's our way why no women were on the streets whatsoever right. That's within our framework but we want peace. They raigmore that cnn reporter. That was wearing The female who was wearing regular clothes one day and then a full burqa the next day. They they told her to put on gloves when she was interviewing them. You'd better not to cover those hot hands because we know we know what happens with those hands once they get around channels. Can't you're gonna take medicine. Cover them up before. The taliban cuts them off. That's the ruling afgha- so let's take sri lanka. The sri lankan president demoted the country's health minister who as part of cova strategy promoted the use of magic potions to battle cova nineteen as infections in the country hit all-time record highs so the loss of the gig was a bit of insult to injury for warren chichi who landed in intensive care back in january from getting covert and this is after she publicly drank. The magic syrup cooked up by a local sewer boy. I bet her insides were read right after. She got that cova especially considered on top of the potion couple months earlier back in november. She poured a pot of quote blessed water into a river that holy man gave her telling her would end the pandemic in toronto. As a whole. So wow imagine her face real question guises gave me the wrong post she. It was the wrong potion. Must've been you're telling me that pouring pot of water into a river to end the pandemic. Yep she joined she publicly really show off how much she believed in it. The questions guys. How was she able to keep her job for the seven months. After the potion didn't work the president was like i want to see how this one plays out a haven't made my choice on hurry. I think that. I think that if you're the president and you have a psycho telling people to take potions or whatever you just let that ride until you have to fire that psycho so you already have. You already got somebody to throw under. The bus built up so you might as well just let him ride until you actually need to throw them. Also it's also a wildly entertaining. It's like having your own like fable book. It's like you're gonna claim the potion does everyday coming to work. It's not boring. It's a win win because at the end you're like i knew she was idiot. Yeah it's like higher magician off craigslist worse off. Craigslist party has joke.
