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, which is 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 raised 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 for students and to provide jobs for the people. We want them to prevent armed robberies and to reduce killings. Many afghans see their freedoms being erased under 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. His 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. Our Correspondent Secunder Kermani is in the afghan capital kabul, and has the latest on that visit by the pakistani intelligence chief. Turning first to this visit of the head of the pakistani intelligence services, certainly pakistan has been requesting to help with the evacuation of the remaining foreign nationals that havent yet been able to do so. That is likely to have formed part of these discussion, but pakistan also has a long history with the taliban. Pakistan has always denied that, but it acknowledges having some leverage. Theres a lot of Stuff Speculation that this is about the creation of a new government in afghanistan. Its been nearly three weeks since the taliban took over kabul. Whatever the cause, its prolonging this period of deep uncertainty about the future that many afghans are facing. This is the one place yet to be fully captured by the taliban. Weve got conflicting reports coming out from there, but the taliban seem to be saying they made some advances. Fighters call themselves the resistance are yet to be defeated.

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. Our 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 in july 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 to lebanon via syria. The iranian president has said hes ready to return to talks on irans nuclear programme, but would not negotiate under western pressure. Speaking on state television, Ebrahim Raisi said he wanted talks to result in the lifting of the sanctions that have hit the iranian economy hard. Ethiopia says humanitarian aid is again being delivered to people in the north of the country, days after the federal government was accused by the un of Mounting A De Facto blockade. Theres been no independent verification of ethiopias claim that more than 150 lorries have reached the province. 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. Here in the uk, the 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 Joint Committee On Vaccination And Immunisation recommended against the measure for all 12 to 15 year olds. Our health correspondent, jim reed, reports. In the united states, theyve been vaccinating children for months now. 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 justifyjabbing 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 world and our country more, to give us freedom and protect our children and things in schools, then absolutely, ive got no objection 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 4,000 of those are already eligible for the jab because they live with an adult 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. Jeans Son Scott lives with asthma and she doesnt know yet if he will qualify for the jab under the new rules. To me, 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. Were not the medical scientists. We dont want to enter into that territory but we do think the question of disruption in schools and the measures that we can take to to avoid that disruption, they should be front and centre for the government at the moment. 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 Prime Minister of thailand has survived a Censure Vote in parliament, in which some members of his own Party Manoeuvred to replace him. This is general prayuth. He seized power in a coup seven years ago and retained the top job after an election. Today, police are lining the streets expecting more protests from activists who want the Prime Minister gone. Hes been widely criticised for his Governments Failure to deal with a serious outbreak of covid 19 this year. Heres our correspondent in bangkok, jonathan head. There are a lot of complaints against the general that have been brewing up for a long time mostly the broad unpopularity, very much about covid. There are other governments in this region also struggling. The lack of preparedness. Weve seen a new Prime Minister in malaysia last month, and injapan. Those are not unique to thailand, but general Prayuth Made A Coup seven years ago. Theres a general feeling that hes out one his welcome, hes irascible and not particularly good at dealing with a very complex situation right now. Their problem is hes written the rules. It makes it very difficult for those in his own party to find another candidate. Theres a limited choice of candidates that can legally replace him. I think thats what persuaded those who to back off this time. But i think hes out one his welcome, he no longer has much public confidence. They cant hold an election will covid is as rampant as it is right now, but at some point, i think we will see a new election and almost certainly a new Prime Minister. The headlines on Bbc News. The head of pakistans military Intelligence Agency has been Visiting Kabul where hes reportedly been holding talks with taliban officials. Meanwhile, the taliban claims its fighters are closing in on the last organised group defying them in the Panjshir Valley. Scientists have found that tuna populations are starting to recover after years of overfishing. Numbers of yellowfin and Blue Fin are bouncing back after the introduction of strict fishing quotas. 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 odd species of animal are now at risk of extinction. Caroline pollock is senior Programme Co Ordinator for the conservation groups red list. Here she is first talking about the positive signs revealed in this survey. The news about the tuna is absolutely fantastic. It clearly demonstrates what can be done when regions, fisheries, teams work together because these are massively wide ranging species. Regions have to co ordinate, and its finally paying off. Both species have moved into a lesser threat and category. But it doesnt actually mean that we can all go out and start Fishing Tuna like crazy now because there are still some concerns in certain parts of the ranges. For the atlantic bluefin, the Western Atlantic bluefin, the Western Atlantic stock is in serious decline, but thats a smaller population. The Komodo Dragon itself is native to indonesia. In actual fact, the population, although small, is mostly stable, although one part outside of the national Parkis One part outside of the National Park is declining quite severely. The main concern for the Komodo Dragon is Climate Change. As the Human Population feels Climate Change at the moment, so our species around the world. The Komodo Dragon, based on modelling, it could actually lose up to. Of it have a set habitat. Caroline pollock on the latest tuna conservation survey. A Nature Reserve in South Africa has come up with a creative way to count Big Cats as part of conservation efforts. Lions are classified as a vulnerable species, under threat from Habitat Loss and poaching. Courtney bembridge reports. Mooing. The sound of an injured animal reverberates through the bush and the smell of a fresh carcass fills the air. But this is no ordinary meal. This is how you conduct a lion census. We have to do this process to count predators because they dont. Its difficult to count them from a helicopter in an aerial census. They hide in the trees and its difficult. Census takers have to crisscross this sprawling Nature Reserve to try to count all of the Big Cats. 20 years ago there were very few here, but last year more than 150 were counted. Lions do incredibly well in this area, mainly because there is a large enough space for them to operate. The rest of africa Habitat Loss is the biggest threat to lions, all over the continent. This reserve is part of an even bigger ecosystem covering more than 2 Million hectares, including the kruger National Park, and extending all the way to mozambique. Conservationists say huge habitats like this are key to the Big Cats� survival. Courtney bembridge, Bbc News.

Now, to some unfinished business from the world of classical music. Beethoven is one of the most celebrated composers the world has seen, but he died without completing his Tenth Symphony. What it would have sounded like has always been a mystery. Now a computer has been enlisted to solve it. Tim allman reports. Classical music. Beethovens ninth symphony, also known as ode tojoy, is viewed by many as his greatest achievement. But it was his also his final symphony. A tenth was planned but never finished. , here in the swiss city of lausanne, the Conductor Guillaume Berney and programmer florian colombo want to do something about that. Inputting much of beethovens work into a computer and then letting Artificial Intelligence take over. Composing its own version of what his Tenth Symphony may have sounded like. The two men had no idea what to expect until the sheets of music were printed out for the first time. Translation in the end, the idea i is to be able to press the Button L and have the complete score for the entire Symphony Orchestra without any Human Intervention other than my work at the beginning. The result, a four Minute Extract dubbed symphony 10. 1, performed by guillaumes orchestra. All this intended to honour the legendary german composer. Translation its not blasphemous at all. I we have to see it as a tool, as an aid. Nobody replaces the human. There are many people who are afraid that we will replace the artist, that divine inspiration will disappear, but i really dont think so. No one is under any illusions. This is simply an interesting exercise. An insight into what might have been. As Guillaume And Florian admit, nobody replaces beethoven. Tim allman, Bbc News.
