attack and the academy and the police battalion next to it. good morning thank you for having me. as you have been updated. about five attackers which. attacked two minutes. institutions one being the. academy military academy and the other it is a national army you need very close to the academy. and the latest on the attack essays that. the two attackers have been killed one have been arrested in life and the other is hiding and two. members of the national army have been killed and ten more injured and you know that the attack on saturday. by taleban took the lives of more than one hundred eighty three

injured. two hundred fifty five mystifying family as we've been reporting there was a previous attack of the same of the train academy and at the top of last year in which fifteen officers were killed just in the past week as you mentioned we've had one of the deadliest attacks in kabul all for the intercontinental hotel attack the save the children and why are we seeing some of the many attacks and i've got on the phone at a time you know. when. we generally fuel attacks. yes you are right that we have been accustomed to. that in the winter we see less attacks by the taliban and their allies basically the main county group based in pakistan and on several occasions there is this branch of. ice as in afghanistan we have seen less attacks in the winter but more attacks in

this string and some up but in this winter and also a couple of winters in the past two years we have seen that the taliban and its allies have maintained that level of attacks have increased of it all. and so much i think this comes. as a response to the aggressive strategy folate but the government of afghanistan and also by. a response to the us that sanctioned six members of the taliban and i look at. how can a group. this is a response they are attacking in every way that they are trying to show that they are going to tax it billions they can attack military institutions they can attack the capital or the provence its ambassador seating and that they even thought that attacking places like the military academy and a continental hotel which have been previously attacks such as this government

strategy of being more aggressive working when the attacks on just continuing but then creasing. well this we cannot say if this strategy of the government is working or not because we have not seen the results we have just seen more attacks in mobile that said. this is a showing that meeting said the strategy is working for surely that means that the government is failing to protect afghans. yes yes this is showcasing a failure this is this is another video from the intelligence that is from the national police on the national army. this is a by the government and this issue is the strength of the taliban and the other terrorist groups so what should the government be doing that. when the

government of the government of afghanistan and its allies have done a lot they have tried on several occasions to bring the taliban and the other terrorist groups on the negotiating table but. they are being sponsored by states or by neighboring states which have their own. strategies their own goals in our country. and those state sponsors of. groups they are also being pressured by the international community and the u.s. especially so their show that they are not being pressured and they are still strong and can do whatever they want can attack wherever they want mystify me it is very good to get your insights here analysis on the joining us live from kabul thank you. thank you for having me. but i want to move on to other news now

a little too close to home. even though we are hearing killis we've become used to the school has happened before when i was on the other side of the border still moved to another area for safety. turkey's offensive against the wipe the kurdish group it considers a terrorist organization is very visible here. is also stirred nationalist fervor. was shut up. and this is what that operation looks like inside syria turkey is backing free syrian army fighters and at the moment the main focus is pushing back from the border was the kurdish fighters say turkey's offensive has caused civilian casualties turkey says it only targets y p g positions. but as is often the case in

war facts can be hard to come to a turkey's leaders stress that this is only the beginning and they intend to clear the y. p.g. from its entire border area all the way to iraq but the y p g in that area further east is supported by the united states and there are american bases and military personnel on the ground their relations between ankara and washington are already tense and just another example of how complicated syria's war has become. on the turkish syrian border. russian opposition leader alexina volly has been released from custody without charge after he was arrested during an anti-government rally in moscow and more than two hundred fifty others were also detained for taking part in protests calling for a boycott of the presidential election and march or challenge reports from moscow. i know you were yeltsin does it's become a familiar routine for novelli demonstration days while supporters in moscow and st

petersburg slept in russia's eastern time zones they were already protesting hands being arrested this footage is from the siberian city of came out of a. and in the capitol police moved against the opposition leaders offices this time temporarily shutting down his internet t.v. channel claiming a presenter had a bomb from a secret location alexina valmy released a message of defiance. i want to go to the rally with they detain me only not i want to make my position clear and one day i will tell my children and my grandchildren yes i was out there to say i disagree and all the bad things that happened to me happened while i was actively protesting this is what matters to me amongst then as protesters started to gather in central moscow novelli surfaced and his demonstration and a game of cat and mouse with the police reached its inevitable conclusion its

bundled into a police van with his supporters chanting shame i lexan of ali says that his arrest doesn't matter it's old but the people who have turned out here in moscow and all around the country are protesting for their own futures i was many in the young crowds you find the rallies have been born and grown up in putin's russia and they're planning to boycott what they see as rigged elections in my. elections is unfair. and other candidates are bipeds off with them in my opinion i haven't got my candidate because i'm the one they was concealed from the election so if you have only been allowed to run in the elections you are going to the little shit was brought to bear on a few here if any really think they'll be able to prevent what you may putin winning and not by a landslide election victory but as darkness fell on

onto the internet and see where people that have these tracking devices are located and if you look at this map you see it places like the united states in north america and in europe are lit up because a lot of people in those areas of course have them but also now you can see areas where potentially u.s. military personnel have them the pentagon a few years ago gave out about twenty five hundred of these devices to some personnel in an effort to fight obesity so now there is concern that people can go onto this map and they can zoom in and they can see places where a military personnel are active places like the c. hill region of africa and an area south of mosul in iraq now the pentagon is taking a look at this it issued a statement late this evening saying that the d.o.d. is taking this very seriously it's reviewing the situation to see if training and

policy should be developed in order to keep personnel safe so this device that was given out to the military in an effort to keep them fit now could potentially be a security risk. now relations between the u.s. and cuba have to tear asia since donald trump took office has put limits on trade and made it harder for americans to visit the island but some musicians have this determined to show that the two countries can get along judy galliano reports from havana. sharing a stage comes naturally to these cuban and u.s. musicians. best known pianist this playing alongside american jazz legend. the saxophone player is among the u.s. artists who headline this years have been a jazz festival. musicians turned cultural ambassadors at a time of renewed hostilities between their governments it's now more important

than ever music is a common language connects this two countries again the politics of the politics but the art form is a common language and that will help strengthen perhaps some of the other areas the broader international relationship and that relationship has deteriorated significantly since its high point two years ago today the state department is actively advising americans to stay away from cuba but not all of them are listening even under tighter travel restrictions reimposed by the trumpet ministration and then president of number of americans visited and performed at this year's just festival here and have an hour and when asked why they're here they generally gave the same basic answer music trumps tropfest current time constraint. this cuban pianist couldn't agree more playing for a tour of american jazz lovers had respect. overtures can have just as much power

as diplomatic. ties with cuban music and culture is an explosion it's fire and that is what we transmit to the audiences beyond all the problems that exist i try to express what i am not as a musician but as a culture. and the cultural efforts extend beyond music this statue of cuban independence year of was a gift from new york's bronx of the arts to the people of cuba veiling attended by architects and other artists from both countries hope to have the start of other joint projects that's always been the artists and their cultural organizations that have really kept the conversation going they were responsible for. or initiating the conversation and open the doors for relationship building and greater connections between cuba and the united states' role castro attended the inaugural ceremony in what is expected to be one of his last public events as cuban president
