policeman voting center in cork province where on the whole include ports on the latest a tux. police say a suicide bomb addition a should 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 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 love 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 st is this latest blast will do little to reassure afghans it's worth the risk made in holland zero of delicious hood has more now from kabul. now the 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 couple of other attacks in the past week on these waters 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 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 are not. going to witness any elections because the taliban have full control of those districts. well joining me via skype from washington d.c. is java document he's a nonresident fellow with the atlantic council's south asia center at jabot a very warm welcome to the program so we know that isis have claimed responsibility

at all what does this tell us about their current presence in the region. thanks joy i'm the. isis has mosque almost all of its territory here over the past year and most of the group's top leadership in its rank and file have been taken it's degraded from some three thousand fighters a year or so ago. six hundred to seven hundred fighters up so whatever is left of the group at the moment it's not on the run but yes indeed it still poses that important threat i think on the part of the afghan government yet time today it was once and for an intelligence failure that's unfortunately becoming all too familiar now but fundamentally there are at least two things. clear. with the first is that their participation of. the afghan people are elections and democratic processes warring groups like islamic state in the taleban and their

patron motion because these elections for the alienate the insurgency from the accounts of the grassroots level and there are also a lot of them a little bit of an agenda mysie that they want to claim to have among the afghan people and this is because there are the realities of a new afghanistan one completely opposite and contrary to the ideas and perverse regime of isis the taliban in afghanistan and the mobs a crime essentially is to control them through intimidation and subjugation and fear the second is that so damn it i just wanted to ask if it if the taliban were to agree to negotiate at some point and how then does peace move forward if you have attacks like this from the islamic state. sure and one one one quick sort of out of the blossom is that the taliban are attempting access attempt to distort if we can. she will admit tensions because of the many recent attacks that are

happening in areas that where a majority of the afghan minority groups and so and we're likely going to see more and more of those coming back to bear the question of peace first is that the afghan government has made clear that there are negotiating with groups like islamic state of on their own to go shooting with a gun on the town a bunch of but the afghan government's already extended an olive branch to taliban by outlining a more peace proposal in kabul on february twentieth i believe which the president not going to present them to enter peace talks without preconditions now the taliban have not yet responded to that for them but i must say that the taliban are unlikely to ever be in a stronger position than there are right now to negotiate who's not whether or not they will embrace it remains to scenes but the challenge is that the taliban is no longer unified and they're more centers of power within it and now the question is if the taliban are interested in serious about engaging in touch ups they should

come forward and openly say so which is probably going to kill it but they want to pin saddam and in a point of peace envoy and i couldn't gauge and talks with all sites including afghans. the bigger issue right now is that the taliban doesn't seem to have such a leader who can bring the entire movement around a single deal just like their voices in the west that believe in military solution to the afghan conflict there are also people and voices within the taliban that believe the notice you showed and that's their sudden western doing but for now the ball ends isn't it thomas or to have a plant at joining me there on skype to have a thank you. kissin armenia have detained the opposition politician nicole pasha and to his colleagues have been leading anti-government protests was arrested shortly after an unsuccessful need to get the newly appointed prime minister serge son gets in and he's demanding the lead to step down accusing him of

a power grab well former military officer who backs moscow so i guess ian was elected president in two thousand and eight and served two five year terms under his watch the constitution was changed in twenty fifteen shifting most state powers to the prime minister making the presidency a largely ceremonial post on tuesday parliament approved as prime minister on the new parliamentary system report and say this effectively makes him a media's leader for life robin for a say walker has more now from the capital yet of on. by arresting opposition leaders police appear to be trying to neutralize dissent but instead and the government protests have grown in size here rallying outside the police station and their violent opposition leader because i said yeah but it will devise is it going to be held i question the prime minister said.

earlier on sunday that televised meeting lasted just two minutes your years on those functions and 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. the main opposition dymo and is the prime minister's resignation cues him of a power grab. shortly after those talks police moved in and seized the called passion and. said she ruled armenia as president for ten years and said he didn't want to be prime minister but last week parliament appointed him to the more powerful position and now he's in no mood to compromise while he is adamant he won't quit his new role as prime minister is to start to see hands legacy as president poses challenges i mean he has struggled economically for

twenty years this financially dependent on russia unemployment stands at twenty percent with a third of the population living below the poverty line. industries are in the hands of the oligarch business elite including the prime minister and the media as borders with azerbaijan and turkey remain closed the thousands of protesters who gathered here at republic square little will. have to return in the border they will continue the act of civil disobedience protests around the capital this movement is far from finished reading first it will come out zero. well joining us now on skype from the capital caravan richard get a goal sand founder of the armenian based think tank of regional studies sent us our very warm welcome to the program is this the classic power grab that the protesters seem to feel that it is the short answer is clearly yes

in many ways after a decade it in power that this isn't by the former president to simply continue he was prime minister has triggered it on press at the dented responds in many ways unexpectedly the government actually really thought that it would be a much smoother grip did transition in transformation to a parliamentary system what was totally unexpected it was the severity and in many ways the outrage in terms of an arrogance of power that many ordinary armenians see as simply a tipping point of richard how much of a threat it is passing on his current day in custody. well what's interesting is in many ways the movement the protest and demonstration ins are much larger and deeper than any one man as a figurehead leader is important as an opposition member of parliament but his

arrest this morning has only galvanized and mobilized even greater numbers of people so in many ways his removal represents a miscalculation by the government especially given the fact that he along with two other members of parliament were arrested without having their immunity lift did this also raises legal complications and for the governor more open for what we see is where we're quickly approaching the precipice in terms of how this plays out the removal of pasha is perhaps most risky because he was the one ad but caving not violence and with the removal of a professional political and mature leader ship the risk now is a much more emotional and perhaps even defensively the violent reaction by the ordinary protesters that said get out go san and it's you knowing me from the get

of i'm richard thank you you thank. still to come on the al-jazeera news hour as looters ransacked nicaraguan shops the country's president says he will reverse controversial social security reforms which speired days of protests. syrian rebels finally arrived in northern ireland course part of a government if the accusation deal. and support this year's finalists are decided in the f.a. cup joe will be here with all of those details. france's president has urged donald trump to stand by the iran nuclear deal on a visit to the u.s. a man well mccall said abandoning that agreement could lead to a north korean style standoff here as president has threatened to walk away from the twenty fifteen agreement ahead of talks with other western leaders. what do you have a better option i don't see it what is a what if scenario or your plan b.

i don't have any plan b. for nuclear against iran so that's a question we will discuss but that's why i just want to see on nuclear let's preserve the framework because it's better than the sort of north korean type of situation so i'm not satisfied with the situation was iran i want to fight against belize to me fine i want to contain their influence in the region so my point is to see don't leave now as a just a purely as long as you have not a bitter regime for nuclear and let's complete it with benefit me fine and original containment. fisher has more from washington d.c. . well donald trump and president mccrone do have a special kind of chemistry he gets on better with him than perhaps any other european leader but that me not be enough to stop america walking away from the iran deal donald trump has been against the deal for a very long time those critics will say it's reflexive because it's iran and also

that he's never actually read the iran deal but he opposed it when he was candidate trump a soon as he walked into the white house he said that he would like to see it scrapped he has renewed it as he has to do under american law but the last time he did that he said he wasn't going to do another time and he put pressure on his european allies to come up with some sort of solution that would address his main concerns which are iran's ballistic missile testing and also its growing influence in the middle east but they're really and have not been just clearing the field to let others talk they have been giving interviews to american t.v. as well in the last few hours that the iranian foreign minister appeared on one of the main t.v. networks and he made the point that america has got an obligation to follow through on this deal that others have signed it and if they break the deal then they would consider the deal absolutely broke it and he suggested that if that was the case then iran could could renew its nuclear program at

a much faster pace than we've seen in the past we have. put a number of options for ourselves and those options are ready including options that would involve. resuming at a much greater speed. nuclear activities. and those are all. envisaged within the deal and those options are ready to be implemented and we would make the necessary decision. when we see fit you have to remember that donald trump also has john bolton has his new security advisor someone who suggested there should be regime change in iran and also he would like to see mike pompey are confirmed as his new u.s. secretary of state has come the cia director who spoke about quite forcibly on the iran deal in the past but it won't just be negative voices that donald trump will

be hearing in the coming days until america the german chancellor will also be in tone and undoubtedly she'll be saying to donald trump that this is a deal that the u.s. should not be walking away from it was president is withdrawing proposed reforms to social security to quell violent protests that have erupted since wednesday the protests escalated to looting in the country's capital earlier with a twenty people have been killed in clashes between demonstrators and police including a journalist who was filming a facebook live stream the time let's go to john holmes joins me now from mexico city hi there john so we've got a client time now from the president. you know it's exactly that and it came as quite a surprise because yesterday president take it came out for the first time since the start of these protests and struck more of a belligerent tone saying that the protest has been infiltrated by criminals and saying that the government had to do what it could to try and quell this so today

it's a much more tone which is much more willing to dialogue with these protests you wonder if there might be an aspect of that he's coming under international pressure just now from the u.s. state department also from the european union at the u.n. over his government's handling of the police's handling of these protests and of course the fact that it doesn't show any sign of stopping these protests and now not just in the capital my work but in several different cities in the country. and john these protests they are just about this time i. know you're exactly right it's not just about social security although that may be how it started off it started off actually when the government decided that among other things it would have to take five percent of people's pensions away from them and put it towards other things like medical expenses and that was what got people riled but since it's begun it's really exposed the underlying political tensions in

nicaragua this is a country in which many people think the president or take has been undermining democratic institutions to try and hang on to power and also turning it into a little bit of a family business his vice president for example is his wife or a saudi and what do you owe those tensions continue in the country and of course it's a protests have begun we're talking about as you said approximately twenty people dead according to human rights organizations in the country so that's just left movings one of the dead is a journalist who was filming on facebook life of what was happening in part of the country when he was shot dead last night so now there's a sense. besh we read what's going on the boil and some looting there's questions about who exactly is doing that why the police haven't cracked down on those looters when they did crackdown so hard of protesters who might be behind that there's a lot of questions a lot of tension in a very polarized country here so it remains to be seen with the president will take

a surprise announcement is enough to begin dialogue and to calm the situation down to home in there live with the latest from a school city john thank you the bodies of eleven refugees and migrants have been recovered by libyan coast guards off the coast of the western city of sobre more than eighty others survived they were attempting to make the dangerous crossing across the mediterranean to libya well libya to italy rather now libya is the most common departure point for migrants and refugees trying to reach europe by sea more than six hundred silos and cross the central mediterranean to italy in the past four years many of them from libya syria's government has continued to pummel a suburb of damascus with artillery and aerial bombardment to force out i'm still the fighters have said they'll leave the enclave in the capital side but are yet to surrender to pro-government forces the area is the last still under rebel control in the syrian capital and includes the yarmouk palestinian refugee camp that

stephen's death where the five suspects appeared there was chaos the report found that stevens' race had affected the way the case was handled. it made seventy recommendations saying police attitudes towards racism had to improve and that the brace relations act needed to be strengthened to put it to discrimination it also ordered targets for the recruitment retention a promotion of black and asian officers the most damning part of the report though was the claim that the police were institutionally racist i think it was fat back then and i think it's fair in the here and now because one of the things that people will look. on is has week quest has policing moved on and even though there has been some progress it's been slow. the metropolitan police says it is not the organization it was at the time of stephen lawrence his killing

pilots pleasure boats and reaches canal in london these ones to get to go back waters of attracting new life. before i worked on the waterways i was close to leaving london i think there's something about the community around the water there's something about water in itself that's quite call me to think that you can do down here this is a small section of a three thousand kilometer network of canals and navigable rivers of the u.k. many can also built in the early nineteenth century joining britain's industrial revolution to move heavy goods such as ion and coal today only five percent are used to transport goods most a simply about. food british roads becoming increasingly congested for environmental groups are encouraging more companies to move from wheels to water today there are more boats on the waterways than there were at the height of the industrial revolution but they tend to be used for leisure purposes for living and

for holidays the canals have become a focus for revival whether used to be kind of a national disgrace they now the focus for some of the some of the kind of biggest urban regeneration projects across the country. shipping emits less carbon than 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 in the waterways water transport is slow only eight kilometers an hour in a city canals. where there's an attractive economy of scale the fast growing ports like this of london's river thames are exploiting. the rivers being deep into allow massive tankers closer to the capital. britain's waterways were once the arteries of the industrial revolution were the u.k. now poised to exit the new 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 supermarkets are now also conducting shipping trials on the country's waterways many of these industrial relics could soon play a role in steering the economy of the future leave the al-jazeera london controversial french immigration laws passed its first legislative hurdle in the national assembly two hundred twenty eight politicians voted for the bill which would impose tough new conditions on asylum request more let's go over to david chaiten parricide a davidson can you give us more details then on this. this is a very important piece of legislation for president emanuel mccraw it essentially is toughening up the whole procedures on asylum seeking now you might wonder why man

who displays such liberal values is bringing through a piece of legislation which most people have been calling repressive essentially inside his own party that's what they say but there were one hundred thousand asylum seekers in france last year which is a record for france and indeed a record within the european union and so it's very keen to bring in some legislation which to combat criticism from the right wing and that's what he's most aware of so what is essentially means is that the whole process is supposed to be speeded up he wants to cut out and isolate the economic migrants but also at the same stage he's a he's increasing the amount of detention that the him of the immigrants in the sun seekers can be held in and also cutting down very much the time they can have to appeal and that's why it's caused such disruption within his own party and now the

right wing marine the pan on the on the extreme right wing and the left wing. have both been criticizing it saying it is a liberal piece of legislation but i know michael as made it quite clear he wants to try and help those who really need asylum to escape the wars and the terror and the suffering in their own countries and try and cut down and expel the economic migrants. there joining me live from paris david thank you. still to come on the al-jazeera news our next level honey making we meet the chicago beekeeper producing a where you'd at least expect it. i didn't feel you need to be. too is she slotted for my funeral wasn't think rejoices on eulogy is the arsenal manager speaks for the first sign is announcing his resignation details coming up with joel later in sports.
