Its six in the morning in singapore, six in the evening in washington and 2. 30 in the morning in kabul, where the taliban is moving closer to establishing a government, now that the us exit from afghanistan is complete.

But the group still hasnt established a new government, leaving many afghans in a state of limbo. Now that the final foreign troops have left, an announcement is expected soon. The last time the group was in power in the 1990s, their Regime Saw public executions and women banned from working. Now they say things are different, though they admit Women Wont be in senior positions. Maybe they will be in the government, because many ministries, almost half of the workers are women. So they can come back to their work and they can continue. But in This new government that has been announced in the top, i mean to say in the cabinet, there may not be a woman. The uncertainty about what the future will look like has seen the value of the Afghani Drop and concerns about the economy rise. The World Bank and imf are holding back on help.

I pray god brings stability to the government and these problems can be solved. The afghan economy has been heavily dependent on international aid. Whether that continues, at least when it comes to the west, is likely to be dependent on what kind of government the taliban create and what kind of laws it enforces. Establishing a afghan government is going to be more of a problem for the taliban than taking control. They been holding meetings. But many doubt whether they are willing to really share power.

The area is a popular Tourist Destination but its largely deserted now, as strong Winds Fan the flames of a blaze thats destroyed more than 700 structures most of them family homes. Im joined now by our North America Correspondent peter bowes. How are Fire Fighting efforts going and what challenges are Fire Fighters facing . There are huge challenges, not least because of the size of This fire that covers the equivalent area of the city of chicago.

Theres some good news and that 20 , a fifth of the perimeter is not contained. And in the past few days, it is slowly moving in the right direction. But tremendous challenges, not least the winds.

And thats one of their direction. And thats one of the major challenges and the fact that This is a a populous area. 50,000 people have been evacuated, many of the fire are usually in california or in remote areas. The force results in many people live in. This is a popular Tourist Destination and the fact that there are some the people around poses a challenge for the authorities. This summer fire season, according to experts is shaping up as one of the most destructive on record. What are some of the conditions that have led to This . There are several reasons. Of course, Climate Change Cannot be ignored. Growing evidence that these huge Super Fires as they are sometimes referred to are linked to climate change. Buyers that we see now they go on for weeks and weeks and weeks. Yes, there have always been fires in california, but never of This intensity. That is one of the key reasons. Also, the prolonged drought which he could see he is also related to climate change. The fact that the forest, the foliage, the deadwood, everything is tinder dry and burns so easily. Longer term reasons as well. Policies, first policies of Fire Suppression over the years. In other words, not allowing fires to burn where is the more recent thinking is that had those forests been allowed to burn, the foliage thinned out on the ground, perhaps some of these Forest Fires when the fin is intense today.

In other news, a Law Banning Abortion from as early as six weeks into pregnancy has come into effect in the us state of texas. It will prevent anyone in the state from conducting an abortion once a fetal heartbeat is detected which for most women is about six weeks into the pregnancy, before many even know they are pregnant. Opponents of the law say it will effectively ban at least 85 of abortions sought in the state including pregnancies from Rape Or Incest making it one of the most restrictive bills in the country. Senator Bryan Hughes is the author of This bill. We have a number of prosecutors in america and the District Attorney elected prosecutor and they said publicly at The End of 2019. Many states are considering these laws but if you pass these laws, we will not enforce them. So sworn elected prosecutors would not enforce the law. We had to find a way to enforce the law. The private lawsuits are used in american prudence all the time, medicaid in texas is a Government Health Care system, if you defraud the system of any texan can bring a claim against you. And This is been in force for a long time and in texas, we protect innocent Human Life and for years now, for years we have been coming alongside the mothers, providing more funding, more help for expectant mothers, we do notjust forget about them after the child comes along. We want to support those mothers while we protect that innocent Human Life is that that is what This bill is about, plain and simple. Samuel lau is the senior director for Advocacy Communications at planned Parenthood Federation of america. Hejoins me now live from washington karishmas questions what does This mean now for women in texas . Thank you for having me. To put it simply, This means that accessing abortion in texas is nearly impossible for the 7 Million women in texas of reproductive age. As you said, This is a ban on abortion after six weeks of pregnancy, that before many women know that theyre even pregnant. So, it is an incredibly dark day in texas and it is a very, very hard day for that Health Care workers and staff and of course all of the people across texas are now confronted with an incredibly large obstacles if they would like to get an abortion. {guild would like to get an abortion. Could This be overturned would like to get an abortion. Could This be overturned at would like to get an abortion. Could This be overturned at a would like to get an abortion. Could This be overturned at a later would like to get an abortion. Could This be overturned at a later stage by the supreme court. We have heard objections us high as President Biden saying that it was an extreme warning that would significantly impair access to warning that would significantly impairaccess to a warning that would significantly impair access to a portion care, particularly for low income texans and racial minorities. Irate particularly for low income texans and racial minorities. And racial minorities. We are disappointed and racial minorities. We are disappointed that and racial minorities. We are disappointed that the and racial minorities. We are l disappointed that the supreme and racial minorities. We are disappointed that the supreme court did not act to block This law before it went into effect today, but they still can and This law is blatantly unconstitutional in violation of 50 years of precedent here in the united states. We are planned parenthood and their litigation partners are going to continue to fight This in court and we continue to the supreme court to block This blatantly unconstitutional law that, like i said, has made the constitutional right to an abortion practically inaccessible in texas. It is fair to say that This is a hugely divisive issue, obviously not just in texas but around the country and as unpopular as it has been for many texans, it also has some support, doesnt it . An April Poll found that nearly half of the states voters to support This. If found that nearly half of the states voters to support This. Voters to support This. If you look at texas and voters to support This. If you look at texas and across voters to support This. If you look at texas and across the voters to support This. If you look at texas and across the country, | at texas and across the country, there is no state in the nation where banning abortion is popular and no matter how you feel about abortion, we can all agree that a lot like This, which again, allows your neighbour and abusive partner a complete stranger to basically become a vigilante and sue you, and to sue thy Neighbour Law for making your own personal medical decision is not something that anybody wants. These are decisions that everyone should have the freedom to make on their own with their families, their loved ones, the medical provider. We do not want politicians making these decisions for us and we certainly do not want complete strangers doing that either. The group of medical experts which advises the government on vaccines has just announced that up to half A Million people across the uk will be offered a third Covid Jab in the coming months. Thejcvi says it will be targetting people with severely weakened Immune Systems. However, thejcvi has still not decided whether 12 to 15 year olds should be vaccinated. 0ur medical editor, fergus walsh, reports This daily cocktail of immunosuppressant medication is vital to prevent howell Cohens Body from rejecting the kidney donated by his father. But the Transplant Medication also blocked his Immune System from developing protection from two doses of covid vaccine. The Ao Year old from North London is now eligible for a third dose. Its going to be really great for me to have a booster and hopefully give me some vaccine protection, and the ability to return to normal life, do things that other people are doing without thinking about it. But at the same time, its not clear if the booster is going to work for myself and people like me, so we really do need to carry on looking at other treatments. See if theres any on here. As well as Transplant Patients like hal, those with Blood Cancers or advanced hiv will also be eligible. They will all receive Pfizer Or Moderna jabs. We hope it will top up their immunity levels. Some of these people will not have amounted a good Antibody Or T Cell Memory Response to two doses of the vaccine, and we are hoping it may help those individuals. There are two more big decisions due on vaccines firstly, whether the Over 80s should get a Booster Dose to help with waning immunity, and secondly, what about jabs for younger teens . With the new School Year getting under way, there is mounting urgency for a decision on whether all 12 to 15 year olds should be offered a covid vaccine. Currently, only those with specific Health Conditions are eligible, but the scientists making the recommendation say they want to see new data on the benefits and risks. This is emma, just before she got covid. More than a year later, the 14 year old often struggles to walk because of persistent nausea and dizziness. A new study has found a significant minority of children do get long covid. Yeah, so i had to be in a wheelchair, because basically the dizziness is triggered or it gets worse by me walking around. If i start walking around, ijust feel like im going to pass out, so it was very hard for me to get around school. Vaccinating all over 12s would help suppress covid outbreaks in schools. The us, france, spain and italy have all taken This approach. A final decision in the uk may come next week. Fergus walsh, bbc news. Lets go back to afghanistan. With the taliban now back in control the country s dwindling Sikh Community faces an uncertain future. The History Of Sikhism In Afghanistan dates back to the 16th century. But many sikhs have fled since This latest taliban takeover even despite assurances that they would be safe under the hardline islamist group. Well, Iam Nowjoined by karanjee gaba, who is an afghan sikh refugee who left afghanistan with his family back in 2007. He is a model, living and working in london. Many people won t be aware of the presence of a Sikh Community in afghanistan tell us more about the history of sikhism in the country. First, thank you so much for having me. It is dating back to the 15th century and since when coming to afghanistan, he left his presence there and since then, the growth of there and since then, the growth of the Sikh Community has grown since then. We have been drawing for centuries and centuries. My ancestors and my family have been living in afghanistan until when things got worse and we had to leave the country and come here or my Family Members have to go around the other cities. How strong is the sikh presence left in afghanistan . Can it survive the latest upheaval . At the moment, not a lot of sikhs are left behind now. So from what i know, there were a few that were living there but no have left the city and also in kabul as well. So, there about A Hundred or 200 people living and staying in the area. But because things got worse, the influence of the places so from my knowledge from what i know and what ive heard from sources that i know of, thereby two to five people at the area that will be looking after the area that will be looking after the sikh society and of them, i do not know how many people are left behind.

I know it is difficult to i speculate what kind of treatment they might get in the future but the taliban has provided some assurances that minorities will be looked after despite the fact that there will be islamist rule in the country. What are people telling you about how safe they feel or how convinced they are of This . 50. Safe they feel or how convinced they are of This . Are of This . So, a lot of people have said are of This . So, a lot of people have said obviously are of This . So, a lot of people have said obviously nothing are of This . So, a lot of people have said obviously nothing is| have said obviously nothing is happening right now, but from the previous experiences, they are very unsure of what step the taliban might take because right now, they have short amount of people supporting them in Case Something goes wrong, but they do not know what the future holds. This might be something they have said to me be cool things down but in the future, No One really knows what is going to happen. As you can see, a lot of people have fled the city because of the taliban. But it is very uncertain of what is going to happen in sikhism, we are very uncertain of what is going to happen because there is No One there to look after the historical places and its very disheartening to see our people are leaving their own homes. I disheartening to see our people are leaving their own homes. Leaving their own homes. I know ouve leaving their own homes. I know youve spent leaving their own homes.

That is all that we have time for on This we have time for on This addition. Fantastic speaking to you. Speaking to us on newsday. Stay with bbc news. Hello there. On wednesday, it was a lovely day across scotland and Northern Ireland. Wide Spread Sunshine and pretty warm with 25 celsius recorded in sterlingshire. Further south for england and wales it was rather cloudy. The next few days it is similar set up. The best of the sunshine across the north, more clous in the south. More cloud in the south. Its This area of High Pressure that weve had for nearly two weeks now. Pretty much in the same position bringing back east or northeast airflow. So a lot of cloud generally to start the day thursday. Eventually we start to see the cloud breaking up across scotland and Northern Ireland and into Northern England was up increasing sunshine here, it will turn quite warm to the afternoon. But again, for much of england and wales, a lot of cloud around. Some sunny breaks here and there, more of a breeze again across the south and through the channel. Lighter winds further north, could see temperatures reach the low to be 20s in the sunny spots across scotland. Otherwise for most for you have the cloud around 17 19, 20 degrees. 0ur Area of High Pressure still around with us on friday. Moving a little bit towards the east but still bringing an easterly wind. They will be a lot of cloud still wrapped up in This system. A again friday pretty similar, most of the cloud i think across central, southern eastern areas, the best of the sunshine towards the west where it will feel a little bit warmer. As we head on into the weekend we start to see our area of high Pressure Drift in towards the near continent with low pressure approaching from the west, thats going to allow a run of southerly winds to develop across the country. And we start to tap into some warmth across france. I think a gradual process but during the Weekend Temperatures will be climbing up gradually. We should start to see increasing amount of sunshine as we draw up some Dryer Airfrom the south. Saturday pretty similar to how thursday and Friday Shape up but quite a bit of cloud around. I think later in the day there are signs of increasing sunshine across southern england, south wales. That will push the temperatures up to 23 degrees or so. But for most again, the mid to high teens or up to around 20. I think on sunday theres a greater chance of seeing more wide Spread Sunshine. Certainly a brighter day for much of england and wales then weve had over the past week. As winds coming in from the south from france pushing up into around the Mid 20s across the south or high teens further north. And then its warmer still into the start of next week. Could be looking at values closer to the mid to upper 20s celsius, particularly across central and southern areas. This is bbc news, the headlines. Afghanistan is facing an major economic crisis as the value of its currency falls, sending the price of everyday necessities soaring. Many public services are close to collapse.
