a guarded of voter registration center on tuesday attack as kidnapped three employees and two policemen from a voting center in horror province marianna honda reports on the latest attacks. police say a suicide bomb addition ated explosives at the doorway of 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 seemed is 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 same tis this latest blast will do little to reassure afghans it's worth the risk made in holland zero. who has more on this now from kabul. now the death toll could rise because there are a number of people who are critically wounded the number of women and children were among these casualties there were a couple of other attacks in the past week on these water distribution 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 of 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 in helmand 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. could be as an associate fellow at

human security center a foreign policy think tank based in london he says the attacks demonstrate how in effect at the ineffective the government is at protecting people. there's a consistent push into making sure that people are unable to notice that the birds if they attempt to register. there will be attacks on them but i think the issue of democratic process is compounded by the you know dick who seems i mean competency of the afghan government itself or not being able to protect the the voter registration centers and the voters a lot but i think what makes the attack in kabul to. be tacked up on the western part of kabul dusty virtues it's a main because of populated part of the capital who it's an attack on a community has been under attack for more than two years consistently of the

attacks on the night i returned from kabul only about two weeks ago i mean it's very difficult to turn to to turn into any street in kabul not visiting or not seeing signs of of victims of or the names of the victims of terror attacks on the here's our community. well now to our other top story this hour police in armenia have detained the opposition politician nichol russian yann and two of his colleagues have been leading anti-government protests and was arrested shortly after an unsuccessful meeting with the newly appointed prime minister. is demanding the lead to step down accusing him of a power grab a former military officer who backs moscow sarkozy and was elected president in two thousand and eight. and served two five year terms under his watch the constitution was changed in two thousand and fifteen shifting most state house to the prime minister and making the presidency a largely ceremonial post on tuesday parliament approved as prime minister under

the new parliamentary system opponents say this effectively makes an armenian is leader for life sonicare go explains was the tenth day of mass demonstrations in the capital yerevan and there's no sign of them slowing down they are large as protests seen in armenia figures 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 candidate more than a week ago opponents accused him of engineering a power grab. who was president for ten years denied 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 right 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. main industries are in the hands of the business elite including the prime minister on top of the list the borders with azerbaijan and taki remain closed and there is little movement in normalising obvious relations with it snape is something i hope. alive now to

have robin far say a walk in the capital aragon and robin when we spoke last just over an hour ago you mentioned demonstrations involving thousands of people that are in the armenian capital what's happening where you are now. they have actually the. who were giving speeches there are people you know still directing the crowds who despite the fact that the. lead is in detention they told everybody to go home at ten o'clock local time they say because their concerns about security and also if they're in this for the long run they're not in the position to holds demonstrations on the square twenty four seven so they have agreed to meet again to morrow morning from nine am local time and it's going to be

a repeat of what we've seen over the last few days which is civil disobedience in the form of students and some of some of the public on strike there's a large. media there on strike and they will be carrying out sort of top up protests throughout the city playing cat and mouse really with the police using really some new tactics to block streets to surround buildings and generally stay one step ahead of the old storage seize keep this protest movement go we. saw seems to be the tactic that they're employing no. can you tell us who is turning out to these demonstrations how widespread are they does it involve a cross-section of society these protests. when i was old. when the crowds were here.

it was the older generation but i would say in general most people. this is. the section of society that feels most dispossessed. excluded from the kind of improvements that they would like. to get where we want. to be people going abroad so it's really this is this is the moment so the young. the students and schoolchildren who have been coming out in large numbers but we've also seen protests around the country as i was driving to. streets. in villages and it was a bit of a struggle to get down here and then as we approached the capital city we heard what appeared to be government supporters. trying to block the

getting in to the city center. thank you very much for now and yerevan robin forestay walkway appreciate it rob and i still speak to sara. a generalist and co-founder of impact yerevan which supports social change she joins me now from aragon via skype thank you very much for speaking to us and we just making to our correspondent who is also there in the capital describing the challenges people are facing because of a distressed economy because of unemployment and saying that these protests are really seen as an opportunity for young people to express their frustrations how would you describe the mood at that. yes i would agree with that characterization we are seeing really unprecedented numbers of people. every strong army in society everything from people students are on the streets on

mass but also people from villages villages as truck drivers taxi drivers family it is. really really it crosses all kinds of economic levels here the movement the way in armenian that. can i ask you what they are hoping to achieve what they want from these protests i'm having a hard time hearing you but i think you asked what people are. interested in achieving mostly people are top byard of the same in leadership in this country this is now. sarkozy young third term he promised the people of this country that he would not seek a third term but unfortunately. manipulation of the system and turning the country into a parliament three system president sarkozy is now prime minister psyche and people

feel duped. that they were told and to having the same leadership now are years and they want to change. all right we do apologize for the quality of that sound but we certainly got a sense at all of why people are protesting and the fact is behind these demonstrations we will leave it there for now thanks very much for your time sara joining us there from yerevan in media. more than twenty people including a journalist have been killed in antigovernment protests nicaragua over the past week and hell it gonna seen here in the blue shirt was shot dead while he was reporting about the protests live on facebook the protests broke out after controversial plans by president daniel ortega and his government to overhaul workers' pensions and while pope francis has called for an end to the violence. so dear brothers and sisters i'm very worried about what happened in the last few

other forms of transport according to government findings the most damaging way of hauling congo is by road for air quality and costly to maintain. so why don't more companies use into the waterways water transport is slow only eight kilometers an hour in a city canals. but there's an attractive economy of scale the fast growing ports like this on london's river thames are exploiting the rivers being deep into allowed massive tankers closer to the capital. britain's waterways were once the arteries of the industrial revolution and with the u.k. now poised to exit the e.u. they could play another vital role in bringing the world's goods to the u.k. and the u.k.'s goods to the rest of the world. during the building of london's olympic park two million tons of building material arrived at construction sites by water helping to deliver one of the greenest games in history. several british
