i'm open to dialogue. i'm not going to take into account the concerns. listen to what the prime minister had to say. to afghanistan where there has been an explosion inside the police headquarters. the blast happened outside the office of the police chief. one person has been killed. jennifer glasse is in kabul. police confirmed it was a suicide bomber responsible for getting into police headquarters, and blowing himself up near the police chief's office. the police chief is unhurt. a main deputy was killed and seven people were injured in the attack. police are looking at closed circuit tv footage to determine who this man was, he was not in a police uniform, came in in civilian clothes asking to see the police chief, trying to determine how he did that. this is a secure compound in the

heart of kabul. not only to police headquarters, but the governors office, courts, and brich. 30,000 a day -- prison. 30,000 a day goes through the compound. it is fortified with many levels of security. the taliban claimed responsibility for the attack and the police will look into how they managed to breach the heavy security at the compound in the heart of the capital and how they got explofs in well. >> two citizens in north korea arrived in the united states. kenneth bae and michael todd miller were freed, they flue to pyongyang for talks. they had been sentenced for 15 years. michael todd miller served a 6-year gaol term. i'm afraid we don't have that

report. u.s. air strikes hit a gathering of fiers from the islam -- from the islamic state of iraq and levant. it was thought to be carrying senior i.s.i.l. officials. the u.s. officials can't confirm if abu bakr al-baghdadi was part of the convoy. he made a rare public appearance in july, giving a sur mon in mosul. imran khan is in baghdad sending this update. local police forces told us that abu bakr al-baghdadi was not hit in the attack. senior i.s.i.l. commanders, pro-russian sites denied that abu bakr al-baghdadi was in the convoy. they are pushing hard that he is alive and well. the border crossing is a key point between iraq and syria much the fact that the border crossing is in the control of i.s.i.l. is a concern to many in

iraq. they say the coalition air strikes should have closed the border crossing. despite that it is used, crucial. when the air strike happened against the gathering of i.s.i.l., leaders and fighters, what we are hearing reports say is that the injured were ferried from iraq into syria using the open border crossing that i.s.i.l. fighters control. whilst this happened, the americans announced they'd send 1500 advisors here to iraq. >> smoke rose from the border town of kobane, following a coalition air strike. that comes as a monitor group says more than 1,000 fighters have been killed. since the yate group launched an offensive. fighters from the i.s. group accounted for 609 of those. bahrain is hosting a conference

on combatting terrorism and funding. representatives from 30 countries are here to discuss fundraising for organizations like i.s.i.l. a senior writer at gulf news says the problem is not going to go away. >> as long as there is a pool of resentment in the sunni world, i.s.i.l. will not go around, and it will not have that much difficulty erasing money. whether it is from individuals or organizations or tribal backings. as long as we don't address the core reasons as to why institutions like i.s.i.l. or organizations like i.s.i.l. come up. we have to face this dilemma, that's why the conference is important. this conference presumably will have the courage to dig deeper than what has been done so far. i'm not sure whether this is the ideal venue to accomplish those

tasks. >> there has been intense artillery bombardment of the city of donetsk. the overnight shelling has been described as the worst since a ceasefire deal was confined to the government. we go to donetsk with the latest. >> we heard shelling throughout the night. it intensified at 2:30 local time, and was heavy for two hours, and there has been continuation for the shelling throughout the morning as daylight struck. we don't know of any confirmation of casualties or destroyed buildings in the center. it appears the fighting is going around to the airport area. there has been a tense standoff for months. between the pro-russian and ukranian forces. >> commemorations are under way in germany to mark the 25th

around the brandenburg gate. the berlin wall runs in front of it, dividing a city, country, a continent and the world in a superpower stand off. the world didn't come down because of decisions at the top. because of tens of thousands of east germans taking to the streets. this former dissident was one of them, and he overseas the files by the police. the fall of the wall has a message to the world. >> what can you learn. i would say that resistance is worth it. speaking truth to power is worth it, and democracy is not a construct. it's something that needs to be worked on every day, something that young people should be reminded of. >> a 15km line of lights follows the path of the wall and the death strip where soldiers shot to kill. the climax comes as they are released into the sky of the new
