00:50 Recently appointed Chinese ambassador to Afghanistan Zhao Sheng presented his credentials to Taliban
00:55 Prime Minister Mullah Hassan Akhund in the capital Kabul on Wednesday, effectively becoming
01:00 the first country to establish diplomatic relations after the radical organization toppled
01:05 the civilian government in August 2021 and established its rule.
01:09 During the ceremony, the new Chinese envoy expressed his happiness on his new mission
01:13 in Afghanistan.
01:14 "It is a place of honor for me to start my work as the Chinese ambassador to Afghanistan,"
01:18 he said.
01:19 He also mentioned the virtues of the leadership of People's Republic of China.
01:22 Wishes and greetings were presented to the Prime Minister, Al-Hajji Mullah Muhammad Hassan
01:25 Akhund.
01:26 Sheng also said that China, as a good neighbor, fully respects Afghanistan's independence,
01:31 territorial integrity and independence of decisions.

01:38 in the fight against corruption, crimes and drugs, along with ensuring the economy and
01:42 security.
01:43 The International Organization for Migration and Agency of the United Nations said on Wednesday
01:49 that at least 30,000 people have been left homeless due to the catastrophic floods in
01:54 Libya's Darna.
01:55 "At least 30,000 individuals displaced in Darna," the IOM said, adding that thousands
02:00 more had been left homeless in nearby towns.
02:03 The floods were caused by a huge Mediterranean storm that burst dams, swept away buildings
02:07 and wiped out as much as a quarter of the city.
02:10 According to a report by the news agency Reuters, officials in eastern Libya said that the death
02:14 toll so far stands at more than 5,000 and fatalities are expected to climb.
02:19 Around 10,000 people are estimated to be missing and many are believed to have been swept out
02:23 to sea.
02:24 Darna was home to around 100,000 people and many of its multi-storey buildings on the
02:28 banks of the riverbed collapsed, with people, their homes and cars vanishing in the raging
02:32 waters.
02:33 Emma Coronel, the wife of imprisoned Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, will
02:41 be freed in Los Angeles on Wednesday following her arrest in 2021 on drug trafficking charges.
02:47 Former beauty queen and dual US-Mexico citizen Emma Coronel Aispuro was arrested in 2021
02:53 for conspiring to distribute heroin, cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamine.
02:57 She is being held at Long Beach Residential Reentry Management in California at present,
03:02 according to US Bureau of Prison Records.
03:04 Prosecutors had initially asked for a four-year sentence.
03:07 However, US District Judge Rudolph Contreras said a three-year term was enough considering
03:12 Emma's role was only a small piece of a massive organization.
03:15 She also admitted to acting as a courier between Guzman, who led the cartel, and other organization
03:20 members while he was being held in Mexico's Altiplano prison after his 2014 arrest.
