Britney spears� father files a petiton to end his controversial 13 Year Control over her estate well have the latest live from la. Welcome to our viewers on pbs in america and around the globe. Medical workers in the western afghan city of herat say three people have been shot dead when the taliban opened fire on a protest. It comes as the islamist group announced a Caretaker Government, more than three weeks after they ousted the afghan president and took control of most of the country. The head of the interim cabinet is this man mohammad Hassan Akhund Who also happens to be on a un terror Sanctions List. Earlier, hundreds of protesters, many of them women, also took to the streets of the capital, kabul. They were met with Warning Shots from the taliban. Secunder kermani reports from kabul. Death to pakistan, the crowd chant. Theyre furious at what they believe is the countrys support for the taliban, including, they allege, in taking over panjshir, the last province to be captured by the group. Translation pakistan has| directly attacked our country. We dont want pakistan to announce the government here. Afghanistan is a free country. We women and men are not the same as those 20 years ago who were being whipped into submission. But pakistan says the taliban are afghan, its got nothing to do with them. Translation | accept. The taliban are afghans, but behind them is pakistan. They gave them this ideology. Pakistan says it has always worked for peace in afghanistan. Taliban members initially appeared to allow the protesters to march through the city. This is the biggest challenge to the Talibans Authority that weve seen so far, and its not coming from a militia force. Its coming from peaceful protesters, from both women and men. This is the biggest challenge to the Talibans Authority that weve seen so far, and its not coming from a militia force. Its coming from peaceful protesters, from both women and men. And amongst the protesters, some not afraid to directly criticise the group. Translation we demand freedom of speech, democracy, national resistance against the taliban. Arent you afraid . We are not afraid of death. We are the young generation, and well bring the bud of freedom. Our voices will make history. At a taliban press conference, the group rejected what they termed propaganda about pakistans influence. This evening, they finally announced their new government, naming Mullah Obaidullah emir, or Supreme Leader of the country, Mullah Hasan Akhund as Prime Minister, and sarajuddin haqqani, wanted by the fbi, as minister of interior. Theres no women in the cabinet. What message do you think that sends out . Translation we havent | announced all the ministries and deputies yet, so its possible this list will be extended. Back at the protest, convoys of taliban vehicles made their way to the site. Rapid gunfire. Eventually, fighters fired shots in the air to disperse the crowd. Dissent is not something the taliban is used to. Secunder kermani, Bbc News, kabul. Earlier i asked Raihan Ismail, a senior lecturer in Islamic Studies at the Australian National University to explain what is Sharia Law. Sharia law is supposed to govern all aspects of human life. It govern all aspects of human life. It is govern all aspects of human life. It is the govern all aspects of human life. It is the simple definition well trodden path of water, so it is meant to govern all aspects of your life, it is meant to regulate all human actions, but as you have correctly pointed out it is quite complex. We talk about Sharia Law, there are different categories, so there could be generally format categories. The first category deals with personal acts of worship, so here we look at prayers, fasting the second category would look at several matters, for example, islamic finance and how to regulate your banking system, for instance. Third category deals with personal acts, sorry, personal status rules, and here we look at divorce, marriage, inheritance, and the final category as islam and criminal, which is where it gets more complicated, because it has can be seen as oppressive. But, the majority of muslim countries dont actually implement this. That point was interesting, the last one, so it is a matter of interpretation in different countries and different people interpret it differently . Absolutely. And when we look at how Sharia Law is interpreted, it depends on the different schools of thought. The cultural elements play an important role as well in understanding the local interpretation of islam, and there are some examples of how islam in one country or Sharia Law in one country is interpreted differently from other countries. But, one thing i would say as well as that Sharia Law continues to evolve. You have different constitutions propagating different interpretations, because they argue Sharia Law isnt static, needs to to changing circumstances within the broader community. And itjust from your sands, i know it is difficult, we have onlyjust had the announcement of key Government Figures in the last few hours or so, but what is your sense of the interpretation and likely consequences for the Taliban And Afghanistan . Again, that is a great question. When we probably look at the taliban, its movement has been operating in isolation for so many years. And when it comes to, you know, the groups� understanding of islam, some would argue it involves a very promotional of conservative islam. One example is not allowing women in public office, not allowing women to basically work. They have said they will allow women to work but they have restricted women� s mobility and the ability for them to find genuine appointment. So, when we look at the taliban, it does promote social conservatism, mainly because of the fact that it has been operating in isolation for a very long time. And it hasn� t really responded to the changing circumstances. This is very different to other parts of the muslim world. That was Raihan Ismail there. President biden has been in New York and newjersey to see the damage caused by tropical storm ida. Ida first slammed into louisiana as a category 4 hurricane more than a week ago, then became a tropical storm, as it deluged the northeast. More than 60 people died across eight states. In newjersey, Heavy Rain and catastrophic flooding killed 27 people and took the lives of 17 in New York.

In a move likely to set a precedent across the country, the court ordered the state of coahuila to decriminalise abortion. This Mariana Ardila is a feminist lawyer from the organisation women� s link, Shejoined Me From Bogota in colombia to discuss the importance of the ruling. It is the first time the Supreme Court of mexico rules on the constitutionality of a criminal provision of abortion, and is undoubtedly a step forward for mexican women and Latin American women, Latin America is seeing a trend with reducing laws that eliminate abortion. How surprised are you with this decision . Mexico is in a very consistent trend, let� s say, since 2007 when the city of mexico started to decriminalise abortion, so it is the consolidation of a trend, and a little bit of a step further because in this ruling, as the report says, you cannot use extensively Criminal Law to eliminate abortion, you have to allow women, at least in the earlier stages of pregnancy, to be able to make decisions of their own without fear of jail. What effect do you think this will have on the region, countries outside of mexico . I think it is part of the trend, and i was mentioning, and actually i think it should be a clear sign to the constitutional court of columbia, which is about to rule on a claim, one of the plaintiffs in that claim is moro lass the same line, that we should eliminate the use of Criminal Law to regulate abortion. Going back to mexico, what about the Public Opinion . Is this something that is broadly supported, orwill this something that is broadly supported, or will they be measured have conservative catholic households uncomfortable with this . For sure, abortion is always a controversial topic but studies have shown that since the decriminalisation of abortion after the 12th week of pregnancy and city, polling has started to show opinion is understanding it is not about abortion being good or bad, Thatis Abortion being good or bad, that is personal opinion, but it is about how we protect women from unsafe abortions and being injail.

Canadian prime Ministerjustin Trudeau has condemned anti vaccine protesters who threw gravel at him at a campaign stop, saying the incident wasjust an example of what Health Care workers face every day. His campaign has seen multiple protests from people who have criticised his handling of the pandemic and the country� s vaccine rollout. I� m joined now by canadian political Journalistjustin Ling to explain what is happens on the campaign trail. Thank you for coming on the programme. Thank you for coming on the programme thank you for coming on the rouramme. , ~ i. ,. , programme. Thank you for having me. Good morning. Programme. Thank you for having me. Good morning. I programme. Thank you for having me. Good morning. I want programme. Thank you for having me. Good morning. I want to me. Good morning. I want to draw an important me. Good morning. I want to| draw an important distinction, there are people critical of Justin Trudeau and critical of the governments handling of the pandemic and that is healthy and normal. What we saw although and whatjustin although and what Justin Trudeau although and whatJustin Trudeau wanted to address with something slightly different . That is right. What you have seen over the last couple of weeks is an increasingly bold, increasingly organised and increasingly organised and increasingly loud movement of Anti Vax, agitated, and the Prime Minister called them a mob. These are folks protesting the vaccine themselves and mask mandate, protesting Vaccine Mandates and linking it to a broader movement of far right conspiratorial, sometimes anti semitic, anti immigrant groups that have been active in its country for a number of years. Many of these protesters were showing up to Campaign Events when the publisher was running for Re Election two years ago and they coming out today with renewed vigor. They are following him from City To city across the country, showing up with science, chanting and linking in with the far right political party and showing themselves to be really effective in organising. You can see the images, in some cases dozens of them, very in your face and not afraid to get right up to the liberal leader and it� s causing a lot of consternation amongst Security Detail and there isn� t really fears that could escalate, this rockthrowing is probably the most aggressive they have been to date but definitely a sign that they want to keep going. To put some context to it, we used to seeing the rise of these conspiracy theorists in america, for example, with qanon for example, and donald trump, and in canada, clearly the movement there is nowhere nearas the movement there is nowhere near as large but is a concern that it near as large but is a Concern Thatitis near as large but is a concern that it is growing in a particular mood . That it is growing in a articular mood . ~ ,. , particular mood . Absolutely. Over the last particular mood . Absolutely. Over the last number particular mood . Absolutely. Over the last number of particular mood . Absolutely. L over the last number of years, you have seen a number of far right groups, organisations take root in this country and in fact we tend to be a larger exporter of far right personalities. Many of the biggest, several of the biggest us names in the far right movement are actually canadian. And there is definitely constituency here. In fact, a little over a year ago, a man was charged for driving through the front gates of where the Prime Minister lives, armed with an Assault Rifle and shotgun and a letter claiming thatJustin Trudeau was ushering in a communist dictatorship and he wanted to end it. So you have absolutely seen a rise in this anxiety, in this belief in conspiracy theories, and now it is plugging into the anti vaccine movement, and it has been cheered on by a number of organisations, political figures are Media Outlets when labelling this as a crusade for freedom, they are labelling this as fighting against tyranny. You are even seeing the leader of a political party using that language. You think candidates standing for election in this country, suggesting thatJustin Trudeau should be tried and executed like mussolini. The rhetoric is getting extremely heated, extremely over the top have been coming genuinely worried that something truly bad could happen here. That something truly bad could happen here that something truly bad could ha en here. ,. , happen here. Ok, we must leave it there. Thank happen here. Ok, we must leave it there.

A unicef study on the impact of School Closures in india has found that 42 of children reported not using any type of remote learning during the pandemic. The Indian Government has rolled out tools for online education but to very mixed results. As schools finally consider reopening, the bbc� s Divya Arya meets some children living through this long shutdown of education. Radhika and herfriends are excited but nervous. They� re trying to write after many months. Radhika lifts her tiny chalk, hesitates and finally writes the wrong letter. The 10 year old� s education has become a casualty of the pandemic. What did they teach you at school . , i ask her. A, b, c, d, the Hindi Alphabet and math. They used to teach us everything, she says. Hindi and english were herfavourite. Children in this village in eastern india� s jharkhand do not have access to internet or smartphones. Parents are mostly illiterate. With no classes during the pandemic, online or offline, learning has come to a halt. This dilapidated building is the local Primary School for children up to the age of ten, and it has been shut for more than 16 months now. And even when these doors open, some children may have been left too far behind to compete and get through school again. Education, definitely, for most poor parents, it� s the only hope that their children will have a better life. Economist Jean Dreze is co ordinating a survey to understand how underprivileged children have been impacted by the lack of schooling. The Public Policy is driven largely by what is called the middle class, but actually it� s the privileged classes a relatively small minority, maybe 20 30 of the population. And this entire policy of complete reliance on online education, that is geared to this so called middle class, it works well for them, their children are safe at home. Like in this home in a delhi suburb, where this seven year old continued to study safely. She is helped by her educated mother and has online classes regularly. How is having classes online . Good, but bad. Good because i can wake up at quarter to 8. 00 and also sit in my class. And bad that i have tojoin, not go. She has also learned dance and the spanish language, but it� s not enough. I want to go back to school. No, no, i demand that it opens. It� s what radhika told me too. The wide gap between such children has only deepened during the pandemic. When schools feel safe enough to reopen, the challenge will be to bridge this learning divide. Divya arya, Bbc News, jharkhand. The father of Britney Spears has petitioned a Los Angeles Court to end the pop singer� s 13 year conservatorship. The superstar has been under conservatorship since 2008, which means she has not been in charge of decisions concerning her life, career and assets.

Very quiet on the Weather Front out there right now and quite warm too, after a hot tuesday for some of us. Here� s a reminder of the temperatures we had on tuesday in a selection of places. These are the hotspots up to 31 degrees in one or two spots in wales, close to 30 in many other areas, for example, across the midlands. And wednesday is going to be another hot one, with tons of sunshine on the way. But we are starting to see a breakdown of this sunny weather in the far southwest of the uk. There� s just the possibility of some showers early in the morning in cornwall, maybe even the Odd Crack of thunder. But for many of us, it� s Sunshine Right from The Word Go and warm 17 degrees in the morning. Now, the reason the weather� s going to be changing over the next 2a hours or so is this low pressure which is approaching us. In fact, you can see itjust on the bottom of the screen there. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to creep, gently creep into southwestern parts of england and wales. They won� t make much progress during the course of wednesday. In fact, by the afternoon, they� re just into southern wales, just across the west country, maybe a shower possible in northern ireland. But look at the weather across the rest of the uk hot and sunny. I wouldn� t be surprised if temperatures hit 30 degrees once again on wednesday. Now, even through the evening on wednesday, you can see these showers just about moving a bit further north into the midlands, into central, southern england, many of us remaining dry. But a risk of downpours certainly possible, and that risk will continue into thursday because this low pressure will come closer. It� s going to park itself over us. The winds will be light in the centre of this low pressure, and that means that these showers circling the low will be slow moving, so the possibility of long lasting downpours and even some Flash Flooding across parts of wales and england. Some eastern areas may escape the worst of the showers. And here, still a little bit of warmth left, maybe 2a in hull, 25 in norwich, but out towards the west, we� re talking about temperatures maybe not even making 20 celsius on thursday. So the hot spell will come to an end on thursday for all of us. And you can see in the outlook the temperatures come the weekend will be barely making 20 degrees across many parts of the uk. That� s it from me. Bye bye. This is Bbc News, the headlines the taliban have announced a Caretaker Government in afghanistan, more than three weeks after taking control of the country. There are no women,nor minority figures, in the administration. Mohammad Hasan Akhundhe who is on a un terrorism Sanctions List has been named as the head of the interim cabinet. A number of protests were held in the country and three people were shot dead during a demonstration in herat. Many protestors have aimed their anger at neighbouring pakistan which is accused of being involved in setting up the government. President biden has visited some of the sites in newjersey and New York, which were hit by tropical storm ida. He� s said that every part of the us is being hit by Extreme Weather events and Climate Change now poses an existential threat. Now on Bbc News hardtalk
