a voter registration seemed in kabul where afghans received identification cards for elections and not toba longer use them when i arrived at the scene we helped many wounded people to carry them to the hospital all the victims were women and children who were here to get their identity cards and registration for election. the blast happened in whist in kabul when many of the minority shia has a community live it's the latest in a series of attacks on voter registration seen tis they opened just last week part of the long process to get afghans properly registered allegations of fraud have long plagued elections in afghanistan registration process is designed to guard against that the independent election commission says it hopes as many as fifteen million people will register for the parliamentary and district council elections but the election commissioner admits turnout so far is already low

a senior member of the afghan army had told afghans they would be safe that afghan forces would be there to maintain security at voter registration seem to is this latest blast will do little to reassure afghans it's worth the risk made in holland zero. has more now from kabul. now the death toll could rise because there are a number of people who are critically wounded number of women and children were among these casualties there were a couple of other attacks in the past week on these water just ration centers throughout afghanistan you have heard attacks in northern afghanistan in western afghanistan. also the election commission. members are concerned about the turnout in october the election they were expecting more people

to come and turnout for the water registration they're not satisfied with the numbers that they're receiving the concern is the security at the afghan government is. telling the afghans that they will be able to secure these polling stations and they have promised to secure these polling station now we spoke to one official in southern afghanistan and how month province where he says just just in helmand province five of the districts or not. going to witness any elections because the taliban have full control of those districts. now police in armenia have detained the opposition politician ical and two of his colleagues who have been leading anti-government protests by sheehan was arrested shortly after an unsuccessful meeting with the newly appointed prime minister. he's

demanding the lead to step down accusing him of a power grab a former military officer who backs moscow sarkisyan was elected president in two thousand and eight and served two five year term under his watch the constitution was changed in two thousand and fifteen shifting most state powers to the prime minister and making the presidency a largely ceremonial post on tuesday parliament approved sarkisyan as prime minister under the new parliamentary system a potent say this effectively makes our christiane on the news lida for life on a gay go has more. i. the tenth day of mass demonstrations in the capital yerevan and there's no sign of them slowing down they are the largest protests seen in armenia figure is tens of thousands of protesters blocked roads in the city center. police arrested three opposition leaders provoking yet more anger. at the appointment of former presidents or sarkisyan as the

country's prime minister armenia's a ruling republican party nominated psaki said as its candidate more than a week ago opponents accused him of engineering a power grab so i guess you know who was president for ten years the night he had any intention of becoming prime minister that was until a few weeks ago when he made public the decision to run. to the protests and calls for his resignation by his political opponents. a faction that got seven or eight percent of the parliamentary vote has no rights to speak on behalf of the people. if you do not accept the legitimate requirements of the state then goodbye what he's adamant he won't quit his new role as prime minister so he seems legacy as president poses several challenges i mean here has struggled economically for two decades and despite actually dependent on russia the

official unemployment rate is at nearly twenty percent with a third of the population living below the poverty line and the main industries are in the hands of the business elite including the prime minister on top of all this the borders with azerbaijan and turkey remain closed and there is little movement in normalising obvious relations with its neighbors so anybody ever al-jazeera. we can now speak to robin forestay a walker who is in the capital yerevan and robin we've been speaking about damage. strange tense between riot police and protesters today what is happening when you won now. well right now we've got thousands of think it's republic square that's the main square. and they're here despite the fact that the main leadership has been arrested and so

this is. the response to the government's maces today which. try to quell this movement and this is this is a response thousands of people back on the streets of iran a very. smooth coming from these protesters i've been wondering around. all different walks of life different. young and old. and this really this this feels different the question is really how for all they've been prepared to go. to hold on to this knowledge without any serious leadership now without leadership in jail or in detention. the protests against the prime minister or against the former president's appointment as prime minister has now gone into a tense day do you sense that these protests are going to continue and are they growing in terms of numbers. i feel that in the

last twenty four hours. it's been given you and this is some of the largest crowds on the streets last night. where the wave got great saddam but still right. they will kill you it's now a strategic a little bit. allow them to think that they will fizzle out. or is the government prepared to raise the straits. for us to try to. quickly. it's anybody's guess at the moment we're going to get. we know there's a great deal of frustration they feel what we've said. rosa because. these people want. they want to be. free of corruption. they want new leadership in opportunities. many are millions who've been forced to leave the country. so

there's a lot of expectation. it's difficult however to see how we can be way through this with me the side of course when he's making the compromises in the government really stepping up. taking it by seizing the leadership i always sunny have a sense of the activity taking place behind you for now thank you very much robin forestay was at the latest from the. thousands that have been taking part in demonstrations. but francis has called for an end to the violence a nicaragua when more than twenty people including a channelized have been killed in anti-government protests over the past week and had seen here in the been shot was shot dead while he was reporting about the protests live on facebook as colleagues have claimed that government sniper for his death the protests broke out after controversial plans by president talked again and his government to of a whole pensions. now people in paraguayan voting in
