Disappearing glaciers Mount Kilimanjaro the only place in africa that has snow throughout the year, but climate scientists say that could soon be a thing of the past. And Britney Spears� father files a petiton to End his controversial 13 Year Control over her estate well have the latest from la. 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 Hasan 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. 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. Dr Amyn Sajoo is a scholar at simon Fraser University and he is Contributing Editor of the 2018 book the sharia history, ethics and law. Hes in vancouver. It isa it is a pleasure to have you in the programme. Something taliban authorities said from the Get Go is that they would be implementing Sharia Law. What is it . Be implementing Sharia Law. What is it . ~. , ~. , what is it . Well, thank you for havin what is it . Well, thank you for having me what is it . Well, thank you for having me on. What is it . Well, thank you for having me on. Theyre what is it . Well, thank you for having me on. Theyre very what is it . Well, thank you for | having me on. Theyre very true Sharia Law is suspect, and your News Report right now shows why. Afghans are clearly not buying this claim of legitimacy, and i think the term Sharia Law is problematic, it can ignores the fact that sharia is primarily an ethical framework from which a legal tradition has derived over time. As soon as one recognises this, one is suspicious of the modern state claiming to be the Steward Or Custodian or keeper of the sharia because essentially what the taliban or at islamic state, or whoever, is claiming to be the keeper of the sharia is doing, is that they are insisting that the sharia is, a, contemporary body of rules and laws they can use to administer, and beer, that it can be imposed on you against your will. Near the point is consistent with what they sharia is really about as an ethical framework. But whatever we might say about the Sharia Law and interpretation of that, they will be implementing their version of it, wednesday, and afghanistan, and people have to adhere do that, presumably . What they are not getting is legitimacy, and that is what this political theology is about, it is about a claim for legitimacy because without it, whatever the taliban got to fall back on to mark if they had constitutional law, if they actually had a constitution that people were involved in writing up, they would be accountable. The whole idea of claiming that they are implementing the sharia as opposed to whatever Power Trip they are on, whatever first unicode, cultural code they are imposing, that the whole idea of claiming religious legitimacy as to dodge accountability because then what theyre saying is, they arent accountable. And i suppose people are on the same page . I would like to think so, contemporary muslim scholars want to basically that the modern state is so powerful, so intrusive, so careless about our privacy that the idea of giving the modern state the custody of the sharia is preposterous. Essentially, it is a surrEnder of the moral conscience. I dont know why muslim should be expected to consent to this any more than Anyone Else would. It consent to this any more than Anyone Else would. Anyone else would. It is fascinating. Anyone else would. It is fascinating. Dr Anyone Else would. It is fascinating. Dr amyn i Anyone Else would.

The superstar has been under conservatorship since 2008, which means she has not been in charge of decisions concerning her life, career and assets.

All the top business is coming up. Stay with us. I will see you injust a moment. Very quiet on the Weather Front out there right now and quite warm too, after a hot tuesday for some of us. Heres 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. Theres just the possibility of some showers early in the morning in cornwall, maybe even the Odd Crack of thunder. But for many of us, its sunshine right from The Word Go and warm 17 degrees in the morning. Now, the reason the weathers going to be changing over the next 21t 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 wont make much progress during the course of wednesday. In fact, by the afternoon, theyre 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 wouldnt 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. Its 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 21t in hull, 25 in norwich, but out towards the west, were 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.
