centers opened just last week it's part of the long process to get afghans properly registered allegations of fraud have long plagued elections in afghanistan the 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 at mit's turnout so far is already low this latest blast will do little to reassure afghans it's worth the risk. this with a young al-jazeera. police searching for a gunman who shot and killed four people in the u.s. state of tennessee the man who opened fire in a nashville restaurant on sunday was arrested outside the white house last year she has had to go for reports this isn't the first time travis ryan king has been in trouble with the law he was arrested by the secret service in july twenty seventh

groundwork for a summit between u.s. president donald trump and kim jong un well after initially welcoming north korea's announcement donald trump now has tweeted a more cautious message saying we are a long way from a conclusion on north korea maybe things will work out and maybe they won't only time will tell a lot of that it is a james face has been given rare access to the north capital pyongyang to find out where the trump donald trump that is on their minds. right. this is one way north koreans relax at the weekend. the last few days had been a diplomatic roller coaster but as people enjoy the fun fair in pyongyang they're unaware of much of what's happened. ordinary people have not been told the cia director came his secretly that their leader is negotiating with the us all that

he's planning a face to face meeting with the country's sworn enemy donald trump so when you ask people here about trump they tell you what they've been told repeatedly in the past by the state controlled media from the mine in montreal every korean gets furious when we hear what trump says he threatens to annihilate the entire korean nation is even a human he is a wolf. down by the river they were playing volleyball. i've . this is where i met a young medical student. i don't have them in a. five year old american people but american government i hate american imperialism imperial i don't like why. all the korean people hate at the prison. no date or venue has yet been set for the meeting between supreme leader kim jong un and president trump one

senate foreign relations committee we were trying to sell himself as america's next top diplomat said if i'm confirmed i want to know senators are suggesting you may not be right for the job come cia director easily won the nomination for that role but secretary of state is a bigger job with a broader responsibility and democrats who are seeking to find common ground we're trying to figure out some ways they could demonstrate some bipartisanship and i think that reservoir of potential goodwill that trump had won in january twenty seventeen with senate democrats has dissipated significantly since then a former kansas congressman a former u.s. army officer some senators have been unsettled by pompey was past positions you pose as the iran nuclear deal has criticized gay marriage and has claimed muslims are a threat to america he's seen as a hawk someone who promotes and aggressive foreign paula. there's no one as you just heard what i described there is no one but someone who served in uniform who

understands the value of discipline the sea and the terror and tragedy that is war like someone who served in uniform it's the last resort it must always be so god bless you all your bumpy always pick for the job of secretary of state after rex tillerson was unceremoniously sacked by tweet in march from people recently made news by holding secret talks with north korean leader kim jong paving the way for a summit in the coming weeks president will trump is urging a yes on his pick i think my campaign or. you know one of the really scary is that republican senator rand paul has already said he will oppose the nomination and democrats don't think you'll do enough to stand up to the president we didn't hear any evidence at that hearing for a direct appeal that he was willing to do so now the committee vote or it's crucial for donald trump it would be really bad for donald trump with a republican senate failed to achieve confirmation of his chosen secretary of state

donald trump thinks that might pompeo will be a better fit for the job as his top diplomat someone he knows someone he believes he can trust like pump a thinks like the president and will echo his view on important issues on the global stage senators on the foreign relations committee have to decide if that's something they want i want fish or i'll just say you know washington syria's government has continued to pummel a suburb of the capital damascus to force out myself isis they've agreed to leave the southern on place but are yet to surrender the area they occupy which includes the palestinian refugee camp is one of the last near the capital that hasn't fallen to pro-government forces. an airstrike by saudi led forces set a wedding party in yemen killing seven people it happened in the western province of harjo more than a dozen others were injured who three rebels say that another attack on earlier in the day killed six people the un has criticized the saudi led campaign for killing
