Hello and welcome if youre watching in the uk or around the world. The head of Pakistans Spy Agency has visIted afghanistan amid continued uncertainty about how the Taliban proposes to rule the country. General Faiz Hameed is thought to be advising the milItary as Its continuing Its efforts to oust the resistance in the panjshir valley. The Taliban have insisted all factions will be included in the new government, though Its not yet clear how that will work. Our South Asia Correspondent danjohnson reports. The Taliban says kabul is being cleaned and decorated ahead of a new Government And Cabinet being announced. Many afghans see their freedoms being erased before their eyes under a new Taliban regime. For three weeks, Bank Queues have grown while afghans have wondered what Taliban rule will bring. They are still waIting and still hoping. Translation our demand from the islamic emirate i is to activate the schools and universIties for students and to provide jobs for the people. We want them to prevent armed robberies and to reduce killings. Translation securIty is good all over the country. People are happy, but the lack of work and the Non Announcement of the government is worrying people. Everyone is confused and people dont know what the future of the homeland will be because everyone is confused. The head of pakistani intelligence is in kabul, possibly playing a part in shaping the new power structure. Faiz hameeds presence will be enough to convince some of pakistans influence over the Taliban. He says hes working for peace and stabilIty. North of kabul, they are still fighting. The Taliban has pushed deeper into the panjshir valley, a tradItional bedrock of opposItion. There have been many injuries on both sides, but the resistance has denied Taliban claims of victory and says there will be no surrender. In kabul, these women are refusing to surrender their rights. Protesting is a brave move in uncertain times. Reports Taliban used tasers against them may be a hint of what they face in the new old afghanistan. Dan johnson, bbc news.

For those of us who have been watching these affairs in afghanistan evolve, not in the last ten or 20 years but the last, i mean, going back to 1973, this has been pakistans project. WIthout pakistan, the Taliban would be a nuisance, not the competent organisation It is. In some ways this is pakistan sealing the deal. There are many fissures across the sura in the Taliban but the most significant is in rawalpindi. Pakistan denies It supports the Taliban behind the scenes in anyway. Pakistan gets away Ith-'>WIth lying largely because most people dont counteract them. Various foreign ministers and army chiefs, presence and Prime Ministers have gone, before various programmes like your own and make these statements and most people are too polIte to question them. And It becomes part of the ossified fiction. Ive wrItten a book on the Pakistan Army using primary sorties. The pakistanis first begun the jihad in 1973. It didnt happen after the soviets invaded, as is popularly believed. Even though pakistanis will make those claims, theres also those who very forthrightly admIt It.

The Pakistan Army is a product of the Itish-army'>BrItish Army in india. So from the earliest months of the pakistani state, It has had a continuation of interest in afghanistan. The afghans themselves did not help their own posItion by denouncing the duran line and interfering in vinces. We cannot see this as something you in provinces. This is in pakistans strategic culture. The question that you post about islamic state and alqaeda, right, this is a complicated question. Part of those organisations also advance Pakistans Interest.

In New Zealand, the person behind a Terror Attack in auckland has been named by local media after a Court Order expired. He is mohammad Samsudeen Adil aged 32 and from sri lanka. The attacker, who was killed by police less than a minute after he grabbed a knife in a supermarket, had been living in New Zealand since 2011. New zealands prime Ministerjacinda Ardern said his interest in extremism became apparent five years ago. In 2016, he came to the attention of the police after he expressed sympathy on facebook for recent terrorist attacks, violent War Related Videos and comments advocating violent extremism. He was spoken to by the police twice, once in April Of 2016 and then again in may. This activIty online continued and in may of 2017, he was arrested at auckland international airport. Police believed at that time he was heading to syria. 0ur Correspondent in sydney, phil mercer, has more on the case. We know that after he was arrested by officers at Auckland Airport in may of 2017, he spent three years in custody after prohibIted Fundamentalist Material was found at his home, there are also weapons offences and assaults on prison staff. And this man was released from Prison Injuly this year. The authorIties had tried everything, they say, to try to keep him behind bars but they exhausted every legal avenue and as far as new Zealands Counterterrorism laws, as they currently stand, this man wasnt able to be kept in prison and thats why for more than 50 days, he was under 24 Hour Police Surveillance and was being very closely monItored when he launched his attack in that supermarket in auckland on friday afternoon. The latest on the new Zealand Attacker, named as mohammad Samsudeen Adil. Lets look at some of the days other news. Lebanon says syria has agreed to help It import electricIty, to help ease Power Shortages now crippling many areas of life. The project was discussed in damascus in the first high level talks between the two governments for years. It would involve using egyptian gas to generate electricIty injordan, which would then be sent lebanon via syria. Thousands of people have again demonstrated in france against the governments covid policies. They denounced the new Health Pass System they see as unfairly restricting the rights of the unvaccinated. The pass means anyone wishing to enter a restaurant, theatre, cinema, long distance train, or large Shopping Centre must show proof of vaccination or a negative test. The Prime Minister of thailand, general prayut has survived a Censure Vote in parliament, in which some members of his own Party Manoeuvred to replace him. The general seized power in a coup seven years ago, holding on to the top job after an election. Here in the uk, the Ition-labour-party'>OpposItion Labour Party says It believes theres a strong case to vaccinate healthy children against covid, to prevent any further disruption to their education. Ministers have asked the uks four Chief Medical Officers to consider the broader implications, after the Ittee-on-vaccination-and-immunisation'>Joint CommIttee On Vaccination And Immunisation recommended against the measure for all 12 to 15 year olds. 0ur health correspondent, jim reed, reports. In the unIted states, theyve been vaccinating children now for months. France and germany too have been pressing ahead. In this country, though, there is still uncertainty. Government advisers have said the medical benefIt alone does not justify jabbing all those between 12 and 15 years old. Its left parents waIting for ministers to make a final decision. If Its going to free up our country more, to give us freedom and protect our children and things in schools, then absolutely, ive got no objection to It whatsoever. We dont know that much about It so ijust think at the moment, anybody above that age, 16 onwards, thats their choice, they can make that choice, but a child of that Age Cant make a choice. Around 3 Million 12 to 15 year olds Live In The Uk and around 11a,000 of those are already eligible for the jab because they live Ith-'>WIth an adult Ith-'>WIth a weakened immune system. Another 350,000 also qualify because they have an underlying health condItion. The crIteria for that has just been widened to include problems like heart disease, epilepsy, and asthma that is poorly controlled. Its very confusing. Jeans Son Scott lives Ith-'>WIth asthma and she doesnt know yet if he will qualify for the jab under the new rules. I think we should have the choice because, as i say, It is the only area of society right now where we come together and there are hundreds of unvaccinated, so It would be amazing for us. And It isntjust the health aspect, but the Mental Health, as well, because scott is anxious about being in school and being in large numbers. But Government Advisers were only told to look quIte narrowly at the possible health benefIts and rare Side Effects in children. Ministers have now asked this man, the Chief Medical Officer for england, chris whItty, and his counterparts in the other nations of the uk, to report back on the wider implications on childrens lives, including education. Ministers have got to look at the whole range of potential benefIts and harms, and one of the things thats been very disruptive to young people has been the disruption in their schooling. A source told the bbc that the government believes there is a strong case for extending the Vaccine Roll out to that younger age group. Ultimately, It will be ministers in the four nations who will have to decide, as more Secondary School Pupils Return after their summer break. Jim reed, bbc news. The headlines on bbc news. The Taliban claims Its fighters are closing in on the last organised group defying them in the panjshir valley. But afghanistans new leaders are still to announce a new government.

Staying Ith-'>WIth sport, earlier we heard the Womens Tennis Star naomi 0saka say she is going to take an indefinIte break after being knocked out of the us open. Her defeat at the hands of leylah fernandez, an unseeded teenager, brought an end to her attempt to retain the tItle. Well, earlier i spoke to lisa bonta sumii, a Sports Psychologist who helps connect athletes to Mental Health providers. Youre talking about mental Skills Training, like physical Skills Training. We have to learn what our Skill Level is to train. There are several skills i like to train the athletes on. Imagery, different from visualisation, takes in all the senses, notjust your visualisation, takes in all the senses, not just your vision, visualisation, takes in all the senses, notjust your vision, to imagine yourself in that moment and then wrIting a script for that, and train It by reading It readily or recording themselves and listening to themselves regularly. So It adjusts the brain. 0ur Brain is naturally going to go to the negative, the times we made mistakes, the times when we didnt do well and that can stay Ith-'>WIth us. If we can image It and train our brain to see that, to experience It, to feel It, to touch It, to feel in our bodies, to smell It, the brain doesnt know the difference between mental Skills Training and physical Skills Training. If you can train your mind, the brain is like, shes working out, shes training. Its really remarkable. I dont think people really know the abilIty to train the brain. It is malleable and It will respond when you give It information, give It messages. Scientists have found that tuna populations are starting to recover after years of overfishing. But the International Union For The Conservation Of Nature says many other marine species are moving closer to extinction. Almost 40 of sharks and rays are now threatened, mainly due to overfishing. The report estimates that 30 , of 140,000 species of animal are now at risk of extinction. Caroline pollock is senior Programme Co Ordinator for the conservation groups red list. We talked first about the posItive signs revealed in this survey. The news about the tunas is absolutely fantastic. It clearly demonstrates what can be done when regions and Fisheries Management teams work together. These are massively wide ranging species. 0bviously all of the regions have to cooperate and Its finally paying off. So, four species have now moved into a lesser threatened category. But It doesnt actually mean we can all go out and start Fishing Tuna like crazy, now. There are still some concerns in certain parts of the ranging. For the Elfin Tuna there still concern for the indian ocean. For the atlantic bluefin, the Western Atlantic stock is in serious decline, but thats a smaller part of the population. Still, It needs some focus forFisheries Management there. And as far as sharks and rays are concerned, youre worried about their status. How does that affect the larger ecosystem . It has a very severe effect over the larger ecosystem in ocean areas. Sharks are the top predators. They have a very important role to play in the ecosystem. So the recent reassessment of the sharks has shown that the percentage of the threatened species we know about have actually gone up. Back in 2014 there was 31 . Now 37 of the sharks and rays are known to be threatened. Its all because of overexploItation. The fantastic work that the fisheries have done on the tuners, the fantastic work that the fisheries have done on the tunas, they now need to redirect or spread that work across to the sharks and rays as well. What about the prospect for the worlds largest lizard . I think this is something youre particularly concerned about. Yes, the Komodo Dragon. Actually the Komodo Dragon Itself is endemic to indonesia and most of the population occurs in the komodo national park, which is a very well run national park. In actual fact the population, although Its small, is mostly stable, although one part of the population outside the national park is declining quIte severely. The main concern Ith-'>WIth the Komodo Dragon is Climate Change. The Human Population is feeling Climate Change extremely strongly at the moment, so are species around the world. The Komodo Dragon, we think, based on Climate Change modelling, It could actually lose up to 30 of Its habItat over the next 45 years, just due to Sea Level rises because of global warming. So just briefly, we are talking about global warming, rising Sea Levels, a lot at the moment in the Run Up To cop26 and theres a danger that Animal Species and Human Beings are looking for habItation in shrinking terrItory. Absolutely, and that is the main concern, this balance between the Human Population and biodiversIty. Its on a Knife Edge right now. We really need to do something about It. Ideally were looking to protect at least 30 the global planet by the year 2030, and thats a key aim, to make sure theres a world for humans and a world for animals and plants and fungi.
