over there i mean this is the news hour live from london coming up in the program. the iraqi army says it's taken a full control of kut could province from the. two more devastating attacks in afghanistan as mosques are targeted and sixty people are killed. calls for cat food cash withdrawals in catalonia separatist increase the pressure on spain's banks and the government. and here is the ever shadowed by controversy ahead of kenya's second presidential election this year. and our peace summit in doha with all the day's sports news including the l.a. dodgers defeat the defending champions the chicago cubs to reach their first world series since one thousand eight hundred eight.

so then iraqi forces have claimed control of the whole of province from kurdish peshmerga forces the army says they captured the last town elton capri which is situated near with the help of shia militias stephanie decker has more now from the battle zone. a new front line opened early friday iraqi forces together with hash all shabbier shia militias move towards peshmerga positions now to the kurdish it's around thirty kilometers south of erbil on the road to cook. yes they're attacking it out and copely and they're attacking from dbase also and there's nothing we can do about it only slightly i'm urging the coalition forces to come in and help as it hit the peshmerga no doubt we have martyrs there. a steady stream. every enforcements were sent throughout the day blankets in mattresses packed in with the soldiers ready to defend their positions many here

feel betrayed by iraqi government leaders in baghdad some fellow kurds and the international community. in reality when we used to fight isis everyone used to praise the peshmerga they are brave they are fighting for the world and now they have done this plan they are attacking us as i see right now everyone is turning their backs on us. mortar shells machine guns were fired throughout the day. everyone here is tense. there's a heavy presence of ambulances here waiting to take any of the injured. back to our . prime minister has ordered iraqi forces not to enter abele and to stick to what he called the two thousand and three lines this is all about disputed territories longstanding on resolved issues between baghdad inner beal about who controls what

the peshmerga gained more territory since two thousand and fourteen as it pushed out of many areas the iraqi army used to control and last month's referendum on secession seems to be the final straw for the iraqi government to neighboring countries who oppose kurdish independence the irony there were very similar scenes just a year ago as the peshmerga iraqi government forces and shia militias all moved in to ward a common enemy i saw but now their guns are turned on each other stephanie decker al jazeera on the road to kirkuk well as tell you the latest developments on we're joined by who is the managing director of the consulting and intelligence firm the focus is on the energy industry in iraq welcome to the program so what do you make of these latest developments what does it actually mean well what we. are a friend of happened in twenty fifth of september and there was. some ways that he's miscalculation by the kurdish leadership which resulted in the assaults by the

iraqi government some people call a soul some people call invasion of kurdish area trees but the iraqis say that they're doing their constitutional duty and implementing the constitution however these areas where today we saw the clashes are largely kurdish areas yes there are different minorities and let's not forget in two thousand and fourteen when isis came to. iraq invaded mosul and then they pushed further south. there is were abandoned by iraqi military and it was taken over by kurdish forces and protected those areas and it's been in safe hands and what's happening now is people know those areas are suffering and pain the price for skakel ation by their leadership ok going forward what does it actually mean now that iraqi forces have arrested control of all areas of kirk probably what does this mean for the iraqi kurds well it's been a humiliating me for kurds and in some ways people feel feel very

let down and betrayed by the only the ship first of all and then secondly by the international community you hasn't done much on the ground what it means this is part of an agreement which was reached in two thousand and sixteen for the iraqi government troops to come back to those areas however these troops have. p.m.u. the popular mobilization units which are shia militias where in some cases they can be controlled by the central rocky government by the government of prime minister by the so the defeater is where those areas where they are militia has sort of came they haven't really retreated as play agreement and that that could cause some heartache and some real problems is the end of the iraqi kurds dream of independence i don't think the dream will end but the. this is almost like a reset and it's sort of a reality set in for the kurdish leadership to realize that. given where

kurdistan is and given where the geographically located and the hostile neighbors iran turkey and in some way iraq too and the mess in syria the reality is very different from what kurds once every kurds wants to see their flag waving in the u.n. building but i think it has to wait for quite some time it's also the strategic importance of the area and oil of course is a big thing i mean history of kirkuk oil is already always. played a big role and in some ways taken over kirk who failed in two thousand and fourteen empowered the kurds and gave them that sort of economic backing to go for this independence referendum and try to declare independence however as we can see this has backfired and now there's oil fields are gone back to central iraqi government's control and the kurdish region already have

a weak economy and large deficit ins is budget and this will cripple even further and as we know in the last week they lost nearly three hundred thousand barrels a day. from those fields and now in the hands of iraqi government all right great to get your take on this appreciate that thanks very much for it's a lot of thank you well kurdish fighters who helped drive isilon of rackers say the people of the city will determine its future u.s. backed forces have fully recaptured the syrian city which had been nice or self-proclaimed capital since two thousand and fourteen they formally handed over control of racket to accounts of local officials and tribal leaders most of it has been reduced to rubble and less than one percent of the pre-war population of three hundred thousand still live or. well the future of rocco will be decided by the people of rocca this is quite important and family of the government will administer their affairs by themselves every peace loving

country and people to come and take part in the reconstruction the rebuilding of the city and its countryside here a sexual state rex tillerson has congratulated the syrian democratic forces for retaking raca for meisel control but turkey's president is angry at the kurds presence in the city resit has condemned the group for displaying a giant poster of the leader of the kurdistan workers party which turkey considers a terrorist organization of delegates one is currently in jail in turkey. in syria they're collaborating with a terrorist organization like the white b.g. to defeat another terrorist organization this kind of logic is unacceptable there waving the poster of the terrorist leader in iraq how is the united states going to explain this. now that suicide bombers have targeted two mosques in afghanistan killing at least sixty people and he say that one bomber detonated explosives

inside a share most to kabul clue thirty three people a separate bombing at a mosque in the province killed in these thirteen the latest in a series of attacks across afghanistan in the last week jennifer glass has more now from the afghan capital of kabul. the attacker made his way into the in mom's amman mosque in the middle of friday prayers he placed himself in the middle of those per growers now that of course is a shia mosque in western kabul and then he detonated his bomb killing scores of people injuring scores of others this is one of a number of attacks that have happened against the shia population no one has claimed responsibility the vast number of these attacks though against shia have been claimed by the islamic states in an increase as a kind of increase their offensive here in afghanistan at the same time as that was happening here in kabul in central afghanistan a group province another attack or another bomber detonated a bomb in another mosque this is

a sunni mosque now his attack his target quite different a local militia commander and his men but these two attacks kept off a very very bloody deadly week across afghanistan where we've seen not only these attacks on friday but across afghanistan the taliban have killed at least one hundred fifty people in the north in the south in the east in the southwest of afghanistan give you an idea of the challenges the afghan security forces face the afghan government determined to bring the taliban to the peace table but not only is the afghan government facing a resurgent taliban you also have other anti-government forces as well creating unrest in afghanistan. well this week we've seen forty three soldiers being killed that was on thursday after the taliban stormed a military camp in the my one district city of two suicide car bombs before a gun battle a fight has also attacked a police headquarters in the southeastern province of gars the on thursday the second attack or it this week and the group was responsible for an ambush in the

northern province which killed six police officers on wednesday and this after it unleashed a wave of attacks on choose day targeting police compounds and government facilities with suicide bombers and killing at least seventy four people so there's been a real upsurge in attacks i'm joined in the studio now by cell ashraf who's an associate professor at not university center of conflict security and terrorism welcome to the program. why are we seeing this. why there in so many this week this seems to be what i describe as a deadly dialogue what we've had is the us strengthen its commitment to afghanistan we've had an increase in u.s. attacks against taliban in our terrorist targets and so now we have a response which is trying to grab the headlines and say look you haven't succeeded we're still here sadly of course some of the more recent attacks of meant

civilians going around about their peaceful worship in mosques shia mosques and so the loss of paying the price for this dialogue so two separate attacks today would you would you apportion responsibility deliveries that you claimed well yeah it's it's unlikely to be claimed in a rush because it's not going to be to be. clothing anybody in glory but generally the taliban at least have self-respect and decency to engage military forces on the whole and avoid in general civilians i says. are much more comfortable attacked. example is particularly the shia so it's likely if we are to guess at this stage to be one of the taliban groups that is now affiliated with isis who dies that may be responsible for the two mosque attacks but it's difficult to call it could go either way so you have the government facing

these twin threats from isis and from the taliban which is in the ascendancy as it isis. well i says becoming more and more prominent but these these groups are not. wedded to any particular organization even the taliban is not a unified group it's a group of a collection of small warlords who are affiliated themselves with the umbrella of the taliban organization and similarly you have these ex taliban warlords who some of whom decided to go and pitch in with isis but certainly ice is will be trying to grab the headlines it has all the reasons to reassert itself having lost rocka having lost most of its big gains in iraq and syria it needs to be seen to be confronting the u.s. confronting u.s.

backed governments as they see it so you get a lot more high profile stuff from them but they are certainly not numerically as large as the taliban in afghanistan yet and as you say the u.s. proclaiming that they will see this out they will see this war through but what we're seeing this week just demonstrates how much for challenge this will be no they needed reminding indeed and the problem of course is donna military one as many of us keep saying what would go a long way to assisting the military offensive is is if the government in kabul becomes an effective government and sadly for various reasons it has failed to govern effectively and provide a degree of security as well as a degree of prosperity for its people so i think if the u.s. is serious about being there for the long term and doesn't want to get bogged down

the main effort has to be to try and get rid of the corruptions and inefficiencies within the kabul government and start to get it to perform a service for its population which sadly it's not been able to do the doctor asked of us referee pressure times from sitting in turkey. all right still to come here on the algerian news hour tourism a cry for help but it is summit in brussels but did they send her home empty handed . right now about what they see. finleyville rebukes for trump from two former presidents. and food for thought what fans are saying about the n.f.l.'s decision not to punish protesting. to spain where the government has secured backing from the opposition to dissolve

catalonia parliament and hold new elections that the prime minister mariano rajoy says he will unveil specific measures on saturday to impose direct rule on catalunya over its independence but this is catalan separatists call for a new kind of protest and recent reports now from barcelona. and online message from a pro independence campaign group saying peaceful direct action shows the power of the people. the call was to take some money out of banks that are moving their registration out of catalonia in case of independence withdrawals of one hundred fifty five euro the number of an article in the constitution being triggered to impose direct rule on catalonia by madrid why have i come because this spanish dictatorship is unbearable i think putting pressure on is a good move with thousands of people doing the same thing. but. one rogue

i mean some ed symbolic the government still has no mood for any compromise. in catalonia there are movements that want revolution so they want civil disobedience today there was a call to withdraw money from banks. then came a message from the prime minister himself saying the crisis was at a critical point and his party in the main opposition were agreed on action just that. they have broken the rule of law a basic principle of the european union they have deprived the representatives of the opposition of their right to exercise control in government imagine if i decided to close parliament so nobody could question me it would be a scandalous situation. article one five five from the one nine hundred seventy eight constitution will take power away from the regional government here it could

mean elections it could mean a formal declaration of independence it might lead to public disorder in barcelona and now you really sense a fear of the unknown on both sides of the divide in this crisis shared by politicians and the people alike we fear that we are going to need. so to me out of the danger and that maybe we will not be able to push back when we are there and that's a feeling that they think we all are in barcelona half right now. on saturday will hold an emergency cabinet meeting it's unlikely to calm the situation right now and there's a risk it could mean cause for peaceful direct action could turn into something more dangerous andrew symonds al-jazeera. french president to many more macro and says talks on the u.k. so-called divorce bill for leaving the european union aren't even halfway through the e.u. summit in brussels britain's prime minister to resume

a call for more cooperation from e.u. leaders in the slow moving brics it talks jonah how has this report. to resume a new in advance there'd be no major breakthrough fellow e.u. leaders made clear that insufficient progress had been made to move talk beyond the current deadlocked difficulties over money and to begin talking about future trade she instead issued what sounded like an appeal for help by a politically weakened prime minister who's come as far as she can and desperately needs something in return if we are going to take a step forward together it must be on the basis of joint effort and endeavor we must work together to get to an outcome that we can stand behind that works for or people what she got in return wasn't much they were encouraging words from some e.u. leaders including the all important angle or merkel. on this is. we have made progress

and it is perhaps the nature of the thing that we look at it step by step i have absolutely no doubt that if we are all focused and the speech in florence was a contribution that we can get a good result and there was an end of summit commitment by the other twenty seven members of the e.u. to begin preparatory talks among themselves about what sort of future trade deal they'd like to see. that means that at least some work will have been done on trade as the park takes down to breaks it so that if the green light is given of the next council meeting on december fourteenth for talks to move on well they'll be just a little bit ahead of the game it is the very smallest of concessions by the e.u. where the bar for such minor victories has been set it's creamy low but in order for talks to move on the e.u. wants britain to go much further than its offer of over twenty billion dollars to meet outstanding commitments and liabilities that something the prime minister may

not have the political capital to deliver jonah how al-jazeera brussels or the european union. the center protest led to israel demanding compensation for payments it made towards palestinian buildings that were later demolished a.t.u. countries are asking for forty six thousand dollars if israel does not return seized equipment more than one hundred fifty palestinian owned buildings were seized or demolished in the occupied west bank between march and orcus this year many were funded by the european union. thirty police officers have been killed in a shootout with fighters in egypt the attack took place in a remote area of giza government southwest of car there's been no claim of responsibility the government minister in somalia says three hundred fifty eight people have now died in last week's bomb attacks in mogadishu attention is focused on the group al-shabaab while its fighters have not officially claimed responsibility for the bombing they are being blamed for prompting fears about the

group's future tactics i wouldn't go as this report. some of the seriously wounded in such as bombing in mogadishu being lifted up brought forth so it went somalia hospitals of received much needed medical supplies patients turned away by one place but those in the hours and days after the talk are finally getting attention. how extended is. the. blast yet to be published u.n. report says al shabab has introduced new ways of constructing improvised bombs and increase their destructive force it says the wait till the explosives has also increased and along with military good devices the group uses for. but also fuel and gas canisters to ensure maximum damage. look at issue in two

thousand and eleven yet they continue to considerable influence and the capital but complex the election system in which many businesses give them monthly contributions and without the. big companies and a number of our houses collecting millions of dollars for their campaign of violence. the united nations says illegal taxation schemes involve extortion and other so-called fees are not let's say it's not the strength of al shabaab but rather the weakness of the somali government that's helped the fighters succeed so money is needed to be as angry and i stress and it. seems there's a huge amount of you know you know the band and the union and the e.u. and i'm so on and that is if you want to talk about somebody who could have been free for a long time ago somalia's president say it's time to act i believe it's time for

us to come together and. to unite against this. foreign ideology which we have which has nothing to do with islam. which has nothing to do with our country. doesn't seem so modest remain missing and many families are in mourning for them is a massive blow in the war against al shabaab mohamad otherwhile dizzy to look at this is some. former u.s. presidents barack obama and george w. bush appear to have taken aim at president donald trump in speeches lamenting the current political climate well they're neither directly referred to by name many of the comments as implicit rebukes to the current president of the united states white house correspondent can really help it reports now from washington d.c. in modern history it's unprecedented among the elite group of living former

presidents turning on the newest member of the club is almost unheard of but that's exactly what two of donald trump's predecessors have done bigotry seems emboldened the forty third u.s. president george w. bush lashed out first we've seen nationalism distorted in the nativism. forgotten the dynamism that immigration is always brought to america barack obama also didn't mention trump by name but campaigning publicly for the first time at a rally for a gubernatorial candidate his target was clear we would go out folks who are deliberately trying to make folks saying. to demonize people who have different ideas. to get the base all riled up the white house says it's wrong to assume they're talking about donald trump so those comments were not directed towards the president and in fact when these two individuals both past presidents

have criticized the president they've done so by name still it appears an unwritten code of silence among presidents has been broken in many ways it's personal donald trump repeatedly disparage both obama and bush welcome painting for the white house as a candidate trump labeled obama the worst president in history and in a debate blame george bush personally for the september eleventh attacks the world trade center came down during the race. for trump bush and obama reflect the political establishment he ran against and one his victory is a reflection of the values of a body of american voters those lining up to criticize include republican house speaker paul ryan using humor to poke fun at donald trump's appearance at the same dinner a year ago i know his comments according to critics went too far. some said it was unbecoming of a public figure and they said that his comments were offensive well. thank god he's

learned his lesson. trump's continued verbal assaults have and continue to galvanize supporters making the tone and tenor of trump style politics the new norm even if it offends those who once sat in the oval office kimberly helped get al jazeera washington. so come here on the. i'm alan fischer and puerto rico it's a month since the hurricane here struck and many communities are still struggling with the aftermath and they're asking where is the government help but they were promised. paying for china's president uses his own political ideology to consolidate power. and the table of data people will tell you what happens when five times this new champion ronnie o'sullivan running to find.

a fairly affluent area in sound one in the capital and that's really the only saying that there was a hurricane here a month ago but if you go in to the rural areas places that are poor then people that are having real difficulty you know they knew that things weren't going to get back to normal immediately but after a month they're beginning to complain and complain loudly the difficulty is they don't have water that they can drink they don't have electricity in many of these places getting medicines to some of these people is incredibly difficult and bridges that were swept away cutting off communities there's no sign of even temporary replacements there so people are getting incredibly frustrated they point to the hurricane of one thousand years ago and say look at that point we knew within a couple of weeks things were starting to get back to normal but if you go into rural areas they say we're not seeing anyone from the federal emergency management agency we're not seeing troops we're seeing the ordination or guard handing out water but we're not seeing much more than that there is no one making an effort to clear roads to protect people from the potential of mudslides because they're expecting heavy rains next month all of these things build up people's frustration
