Self shredded is heading back under the hammer. Hello and welcome. The taliban appears set to announce a new government for afghanistan within days, but the European Union and britain have said they wont be recognising it. Speaking on a visit to pakistan, the uk foreign secretary, dominic raab, said he wanted the country to be stable, and aid could be provided via charities. We begin in kabul, where our correspondent, secunder kermani, reports on how the taliban are already changing daily life. Side by side, taliban fighters and local residents. This is Friday Prayers in kabul. A cleric from the group tells the Congregation Theirjihad is changing, from a Military Campaign to one ridding society of corruption. Theyre still yet to establish a new government, but an announcement is expected soon. Translation what we want the new government to do i is tackle poverty and unemployment. Whenever they announce it, people will be able to properly get back to work and the economy will improve. The most important is peace. Prosperity second. And we must try to consolidate and make unity between the afghan nations. Already the face of this city is changing, under the influence of its new rulers. For years, these blast walls, painted over with bright and inspiring murals, had been a colourful feature in kabul. Now you can see womens faces have been blacked out, and the taliban have told decorators to paint over all of this, replacing it with these Black And White slogans. This one reads, the blood of the martyrs has washed away the occupation a glimpse of what the new afghanistan is going to look like. Close by, this beautician� S Shop has also been ordered to paint over its signage. Despite taliban assurances women will be allowed to work, many Fear Theyll be erased from public life. This morning in kabul, a protest by female activists demanding equal rights. Earlier this week, taliban leaders said Women Wouldnt be given senior roles in the new government. Translation throughout decades of war, women have suffered a lot, mentally and physically. After a lot of effort, they managed to create a space for themselves and achieve some Equality And Justice while retaining their islamic identity. If we lose all this, it will have a very negative impact on afghanistan. Some arent waiting to find out what the new government will look like. These afghans are stuck at the border with pakistan. The uks foreign secretary, whos been visiting pakistan, told the bbc he wanted the taliban to live up to promises to allow those afghans eligible to leave the country to do so. Whats important for the uk and all of our partners whether its in the us, but also in the region, including pakistan is to try and exercise the maximum moderating influence on the taliban. So, whether its safe passage, whether its no Safe Haven for terrorism, we need to send a clear message. Afghanistan is changing fast and will change even more in the coming days. But no ones yet clear what exactly the future will look like. Secunder kermani, bbc news, kabul. The taliban say theyre making advances in their efforts to oust the last remaining armed opposition in the panjshir valley, just a few hours from kabul. But resistance leaders there have denied the claims. Panjshir is a mountainous region famous for holding out against the Soviet Army in the 1980s, and the taliban in the 1990s. Thousands of fighters are thought to have massed there, refusing to give up. Known as the national Resistance Front of afghanistan its fighters can be seen here in a series of training drills. Theyre a multi ethnic group of militias and former afghan Security Force members. The former afghan Vice President , amrullah saleh, is in the panjshir valley. He claims he is the true Caretaker President and says reports he has fled the country are baseless. I am in the panjshir valley. The reports concerning my escape from afghanistan are totally baseless. I am here. We have had several meetings regarding the situation. No doubt, the situation is difficult. We have been under invasion of the taliban, their alqaeda allies, terrorist groups from the region and beyond, as usual backed by the pakistanis. We have held the ground. We have resisted. The resistance is not going to surrender, its not going to bow to terrorism and its going to continue. There are difficulties, but i have not fled, i have not escaped. So, i want to assure you through this video that everything said to this moment that i have been injured or i have fled are baseless fake news. The us secretary of State Antony Blinken has been speaking about the situation in afghanistan in the last few hours. He said any new government should be as broadly based as possible. First, as weve said and as countries around the world have said, there is an expectation that any government that emerges now will have some real inclusivity and that it will have non talibs in it, who are representative of different communities and different interests in afghanistan so we will see what in fact emerges. We can now speak to omar samad, former senior adviser to abdullah abdullah, the former chief executive of afghanistan. Let me ask you first of all, in terms of the taliban, they have been saying, you know, we want to have a government that is inclusive, we want to engage with the international community. How much should we believe what they say and how prepared are they to be able to actually do that . W} prepared are they to be able to actually do that . Prepared are they to be able to actually do that . If| actually do that . No audio. If i could ask actually do that . No audio. If i could ask you actually do that . No audio. If i could ask you again actually do that . No audio. If i could ask you again that i could ask you again that question. What did the taliban need to prove in the formation of this government . Need to prove in the formation of this government . Well, they need to first of this government . Well, they need to first of of this government . Well, they need to first of all of this government . Well, they need to first of all listen of this government . Well, they need to first of all listen to need to first of all listen to what the afghans are saying, asking, they also need to listen to what the international community is saying and has been saying for the past few weeks. They are now at a very critical moment days before they are supposed to announce a government that they, as you say, have claimed has to be broad based so we need to know what broad based means to them. The only way we can find out is once they formally announced it and then we can figure out if it is actually broad based, does it have qualified people in it, does it have people who can be trusted, people who do represent the different constituencies in afghanistan and can do thejob of making sure that the government functions as it should. find functions as it should. And thats the functions as it should. And thats the key functions as it should. And thats the key point, functions as it should. And thats the key point, isnt i functions as it should. And thats the key point, isnt it, is that the taliban, they have been fighting a war, they havent been running a country. That is going to need people who have experienced doing exactly that, so it looks as if they are going to have to ask they are going to have to ask the help from people who are not members of the taliban to come and govern the country properly. Come and govern the country roerl. Come and govern the Country Preperly properly. So, there are two es properly. So, there are two types of properly. So, there are two types of individuals properly. So, there are two types of individuals that properly. So, there are two l types of individuals that they would have to rely on, ask for and use for governance. Number one, afghanistan being a diverse society of different societies, different religions, needs to be represented adequately and there needs to be some level of equity in governments. Numbertwo, it is a question of the criteria and the qualifications that have to be used to make sure that we have people who can handle the job, and run the government according to the people and the very urgent and dire needs in terms of humanitarian problems that exist and the economy that has been taking for the past few weeks. Has been taking for the past few weeke has been taking for the past few weeks. ~. ,. , ~ few weeks. What you think the Bi Est few weeks. What you think the biggest challenges few weeks. What you think the biggest challenges are . Few weeks. What you think the biggest challenges are . For i few weeks. What you think the | biggest challenges are . For the taliban to be more inclusive, in terms of including women in government, in terms of affording women equal rights of at least some rights. Do you think it is likely the taliban is going to see to that pressure or not . I is going to see to that pressure or not . I think that they have pressure or not . I think that they have no pressure or not . I think that they have no other pressure or not . I think that they have no other choice. L pressure or not . I think that l they have no other choice. We need to also realise that there has to be engagement with the taliban so they get the message in that they are somewhat cognisant of what the international community in afghanistan needs. At the same time we should be pushing too hard because pushing too hard and having very extreme demands can also push them in the wrong direction or create a backlash so we need to create a balance and we need to have pathways to engage the and communicate with them and also provide for the afghan people. It is very important, whether we go through the taliban or through different channels, other channels, United Nations or ngos, that we do address the needs, the humanitarian needs of afghans in this moment. Haw of afghans in this moment. How difficult will of afghans in this moment. How difficult will that of afghans in this moment. How difficult will that be of afghans in this moment. How difficult will that be given the likes of the Eu And Britain have said, look, were not going to recognise a taliban government right now. Welcome the Recognition Government right now. Welcome the recognition is government right now. Welcome the recognition is one government right now. Welcome the recognition is one aspect. I the recognition is one aspect. Well, recognition is one aspect. You have ways of engaging this new set up that hasnt even announced the government yet. I think that making sure, as it happened today when it a planeload of Humanitarians Assistance came from the uae, that you do have the means and the channels to get to the afghan people. Whether they are women, minorities, whether they are the 18 Million afghans who live under the poverty line. So in my opinion, you have to again take a step by Step Approach in the taliban, at the same time you have to be cautious and you have to watch what they are doing and not what they are saying. fit. Doing and not what they are Sa Inc. �. ,. , doing and not what they are sa inu. �. ,. , doing and not what they are saint. ,. ,. , saying. A lot of people have said look. Saying. A lot of people have said look, you saying. A lot of people have said look, you know, saying. A lot of people have said look, you know, the. Said look, you know, the taliban government, afghanistan under the taliban could end up looking a little bit like the iranians regime. How likely do you think that is, given that in iran at least women are afforded some rights . They are two different afforded some rights . They are two different countries, afforded some rights . They are two different countries, due two different countries, due different societies, two different societies, two different political systems, but there is a possibility that taliban might adopt certain structures that exist in iran. All have existed in the iran since the revolution. Or. If thatis since the revolution. Or. If that is the case, they will have to adopt the afghan model. There is no way that you can adapt to the Iranians Model fully because the sheer structures, the sheer system is very different from the sunni system that the taliban is espousing. The taliban has to take into account what the afghan population overall, with all its diversity, also need and want so that they have some level of participation and agency.

Thank you. Really, really interesting. President biden has visited the Us State Of Louisiana to see the destruction caused by Hurricane Ida. More than 60 people have died across eight states since it made Landfall On Sunday many were killed when torrential rainfall caused flash flooding. Our Correspondent Nada Tawfik has more. One week and a storm that brought america to its knees. Man look at that tornado from New Orleans to New York, it was a dramatic beating. Record rainfall, life threatening floods, destructive winds, and tornadoes usually only seen in the midwest, tore through communities with no mercy. In some places it was unprecedented, and sparked fear about the Ferocity And Frequency of future weather. Woman crying oi my god. The river is flooding. Part of this Newjersey Town was abandoned after the nearby river crested and left cars and homes under ten feet of water. Four people died and about 600 were left homeless. Gloria jett lost everything, but was lucky to escape with her life. She cant swim and had to be rescued by neighbours, as the Water Rose inside her home. I started pounding for somebody to come help me, so i wont die. I felt like i was dying. Down these streets, peoples belongings and memories are laid out for garbage pickup. The Roldan Family lost three cars and everything in their basement. But already, the Insurance Company has told them they will not cover much of the damage. Its the first time that it happened. But if we stay in the house, what if it happens again . Like, does it really pay to stay in this area anymore . President biden has approved an Emergency Declaration for New York and newjersey. Today he travelled to meet victims in louisiana, where Ida First Made Landfall as a category 4 hurricane. After surveying the damage, he highlighted the threat from Climate Change. And folks, Hurricane Ida is another reminder that we need to be prepared for the next hurricane and super storm. Theyre gonna come and theyre gonna come more frequently and more ferociously. I have been working closely with the governor and our colleagues in congress on both parties, on my build back better plan that will modernise our roads, our bridges, our water systems, sewers, and Drainage Systems and power grids, and transmission lines. The cost to life, Property And Infrastructure has been a staggering. Still Climate Change remains at divisive political issue. And so over the years, america has ignored warnings and some would say this is the result. Nada tawfik, bbc news, newjersey. This is bbc news, our main headlines the uk and the eu say they wont recognise afg hanistan� s new taliban government. Meanwhile the taliban claim to be making advances in the panjshir valley, the only part of afghanistan they dont control. President biden has been touring one of the areas of louisiana that was hardest hit by Hurricane Ida last weekend. President biden has defended his record on the economy, after the Rate Ofjob Growth slowed down in the last month. Fewerjobs were created in the us in august than in any other month this year. Just under a quarter of A Million people were hired when many economists were forecasting closer to three quarters of A Million. But the president insists that the economy is growing consistently. Today we learned the economy created 235,000 newjobs in august, and the Unemployment Rate fell to 5. 2 , the lowest it has been in 18 months. But despite the impact of the delta variant, and ill talk a little more about that in a minute, what were seeing is an economic recovery thats durable and strong. The Biden Plan is working. Were getting results. Heres the view of chris low, Chief Economist at Fhn Financial in New York on whats behind the slowdown. We were expecting a lot more Job Growth this month and the reason we were expecting it is that federal Unemployment Benefits end this weekend, theres 9 Million people collecting those benefits who have to find work now, starting next week, or, you know, find some other kind of public assistance. So we had seen an acceleration in Job Growth injune and july, as people began looking for work, but in august it really slowed down. What does this tell us about the way the us economy is working right now . Well, i think its unrealistic to expect that the us economy can continue to grow at the rate it did in the first half. 6. 5 growth is remarkable in an economy that before covid was trending at 2. 25 . I think what is happening now is that we are slowing down to something closer to what would be recognised as a normal Trend Rate of growth, and most of the economic Data Series we track closely, things like retail sales, consumer confidence, manufacturing activity, actually peaked in march and april, at the same time federal stimulus peaked. That was the last big federal Stimulus Payments that went out to the public. Obviously everyone is talking about this big Infrastructure Spending Plan that President Biden is tabling what do you think that is going to do to change anything, if at all, because obviously it is a plan to invest money in infrastructure, not jobs . It is, and look, i think actually it is a plan that has strong bipartisan support. The nice thing about Infrastructure Investment is that it pays dividends long run. The problem is that it is tied to another 3. 5 trillion plan which has very narrow support, and in fact just yesterday, senatorjoe manchin, a democrat from West Virginia said he will not support that plan unless he could be convinced otherwise he will not vote for it and the plan will fail. If the plan fails then the Infrastructure Plan fails, because in the house progressives have said they wont pass the Infrastructure Plan unless the other plan passes. So at the moment it will be two or three weeks of nailbiting while we see if any of this gets done. In the meantime, unlike last years stimulus, nothing we are talking about here is tailor made to address the economic problems created by the pandemic. The uks four chief medical officers are expected to decide within days whether to vaccinate healthy 12 15 Year Olds against coronavirus. The committee which advises the British Government has refused to approve the jabs. Heres our medical editor fergus walsh. From france to the united states and israel, many wealthy nations are already immunising all 12 to is year olds. Not the uk. The scientists who advise government on immunisation Thejcvi Today said a further 200,000 young teens with heart, Lung And Liver conditions thought to be vulnerable to covid would now be asked to have the vaccine, but it would not recommend the jab for healthy 12 to is year olds. Whilst the benefits marginally outweigh the risks, the risk of Heart Inflammation is still uncertain, and we want to see what wider societal and educational benefits there are to children before recommending universal vaccination. The key concern for the jcvi is the potential long term harms from a rare Side Effect from the pfizer vaccine. Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle, and Pericarditis Inflammation of the heart lining. Data from the united states shows that for every One Million boys fully immunised with the pfizer vaccine, there were around 60 cases of Heart Inflammation. Among girls, it was much lower, with around eight cases per million. Symptoms include chest pain, shortness of breath and palpitations. But these were generally mild symptoms and short lived. As for covid, healthy children are at minimal risk of severe illness, with just two in A Million admitted to Intensive Care after infection. Immunising Under 16s might help suppress covid, but should the young be vaccinated to protect the old . If we are going to vaccinate our children it has got to be really in their interests and not in societys interests to vaccinate them, and i think it is a difficult decision. Vaccinating 12 to 15 year olds could help their education by limiting outbreaks in schools. The uks chief medical officers have been asked to consider this by the health secretary, sajid javid, who had little else to say tonight. Whats your reaction| to the Jcvi Decision . Thank you for coming. So what do families make of it . People between the age of 12 15 should be able to get a vaccination to prevent the spread of the virus. I would not recommend for the moment. Its too early. I think if we want to get i the pandemic under control, then we have to vaccinatej as many in the population as possible. Many other countries rolled out vaccines to the Under 16s during the school holidays. That opportunity has been missed here, but it may only be a matter of days before a final decision is made on whether to immunise all 12 to 15 year olds in the uk. Fergus walsh, bbc news. You may remember the banksy painting that partially shredded itself after being sold at auction. Its back on the market, and expected to fetch more this time, as Tim Allman explains. Bangs gavel. Applause. It has become one of the most famous and notorious incidents in the history of modern art. The moment when banksy brought new meaning to the phrase going, going gone. Banksy exists to kind of really sort of undermine institutions, and i think its fair to say that on that night sotheby� s was banksy� d. I was taken by complete surprise. We managed to have a modicum of order, we sold the picture, but then again of course almost overnight this picture became just an icon. An icon that is up for sale once more. And the fact that half the painting has been torn to shreds only seems to have added to its appeal. This is a picture which has a notoriety, on a level, i think it is fair to say, with something like the mona lisa. It is very different picture of course, but it is equally one with a huge amount of notoriety. Its estimated love is in the bin could go for anything up to around 8 million. After a brief international tour, the auction will take place next month. Presumably the Picture Frame will be carefully checked beforehand, just to be on the safe side. Tim allman, bbc news. Ijust dont quite have i just dont quite have the money to make a bid this time, maybe next time. You can reach me on twitter im bbcmaryam. Hello. Weather changes on the way many areas that have been stuck under cloud for the past week or so, especially in england and wales, gradually breaking out into brighter skies on sunday. If not then, at the start of next week. Why . Because high pressure is moving away, a flow of air around that bringing something clearer and warmer in from the south east. Where we have seen some sunshine occasionally this week in Northern Ireland and scotland, a change here to something wetter, gradually, during sunday. It may not be a bad thing, though, where things have been so very dry recently. Its as you were, though, as we start off on saturday morning. A lot of cloud around, some hill fog, some poor visibility, some patches of fog in wales and south West England, where there may well be a few sunny spells around to begin the day. The cloud in the east thick enough for some drizzly rain at times, and for many, itll stay cloudy. A few sunny spells trying to come through northern scotland, Northern Ireland, more especially wales and south West England. This easterly breeze, with the cloud, the chance of drizzle as well on the eastern coast of scotland, north east england, keeping the temperature around 15 celsius. For many, 17 20. Into the low 20s, though, in wales and south West England with prolonged sunny spells. And there mayjust be an increase in sunny spells more widelyjust before sunset on saturday. Overnight and into sunday, Cloud Continuing across eastern parts, some clear spells to the west, double Figure Temperatures as sunday begins. And then on sunday, well, that changes to something a bit brighter and warmer across england and wales. There will still be some stubborn areas of cloud through eastern and central england that will be very slow to clear. But overall, its a brighter story in england and wale. Itll feel warmer. The breeze picks up in scotland and Northern Ireland, and still with a bit of uncertainty about timing. Well see some outbreaks of rain moving in as the day goes on. That moves south overnight and into monday before fizzling out, but on monday, we could well start across central parts of the uk with cloud and some outbreaks of rain. South of that, in some sunny spells on monday, its going to be warming up, with the warm spots here into the mid 20s. And that warmth on monday is, for tuesday and wednesday, going to spread northwards. So for tuesday and wednesday, most of the uk are going to be warm to very warm for the time of year, some temperatures reaching into the upper 20s, before another Weather Change later next week, as we see temperatures come down again and an increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms. Nada tawfik, bbc news, newjersey. This is bbc news, the headlines the taliban appears set to announce a new government for afghanistan within days but the European Union and britain have said they wont be recognising it. It comes as the taliban claim progress in their battle to eliminate the final resistance to their rule in the panjshir valley. President biden has praised people in Louisiana And Mississippi for their response to Hurricane Ida last sunday. But he noted the frustration at delays in restoring power, and promised that infrastructure would be � built back better�. He said the White House would make sure that private insurance companies paid customers who had to abandon their homes. The us president has admitted Employment Figures showing a sharp drop in Employment Growth are disappointing. But he said that, with employment still rising, Americas Economy remained durable and strong. The number of newjobs last month fell far short of predictions, largely because of the coronavirus.
