denying that the position of the socialist party is still far from the position of the boss of this sort of the guts of the nationalists they're not going to give them independence don't want to give them independence but there's certainly a room for compromise within the box and they really depends on how. close they can they can become and how they can say you two accounts freshly goshi asian the fresh socialist government scientists from the u.s. space agency nasa say the curiosity rover has discovered the best evidence yet the life once existed on mars the rover has an organic molecules preserved in three and a half billion year old rock in the base of a crater that's believed to have once been a large shallow lake i mean says the possibility that microorganisms once populated mosse the closest planet to earth and i spoke to tanya harrison a director of research at arizona state university of new space initiative and she explained why this is such an exciting discovery it's
7:18 am
a lot of organic material compared to what we've seen before and it's preserved very close to the surface and on the surface of mars the radiation conditions are such that organic material should break down pretty quickly and so we're really surprised to find this much preserved still close to the surface that tells us that we might be able to find better and more well preserved stuff very deeper down so if there is or was life on mars this gives it a little bit of our basically a boost for our chances of finding it rather than it being completely destroyed by the radiation. a reminder of the top stories here on al-jazeera the u.s. president says he's willing to invite north korea's leader kim jong il to the united states if negotiations between the leaders goes well donald trump was speaking after meeting japan's prime minister ahead of next week's summit in singapore. has been seeking assurances that japan's grievances against pyongyang

one i want to east the world is watching with anticipation the first ever meeting of a sitting u.s. president and the leader of north korea said it would june the twelfth in single. bring the breakthrough to reduce the global nuclear threat and find out on al-jazeera. in war torn afghanistan. simply going to school can be a privilege. especially if you're a girl. two out of three girls don't attend school this is by billions of dollars in aid spent on education over the last two decades . i'm steve on this episode of what i want to use to reinvestigate why so many of
7:22 am
afghanistan's girls are kept outside of the classroom. into the dawn of a new school day across afghanistan and girls from the dash district or neighborhood in west kabul begin making their way to class. pushed a trickle. and soon a steady stream out. by six am the outpouring from the gates. there steve from norwich maybe. it's six am seems early for school and it is and. that's because this is the first of three ships here. it's the only way to accommodate the more than fourteen thousand students from the school wolf split almost evenly between schools and.
7:23 am
over the next week we've been given extremely rare access inside the cia the shahadah school to try to understand what life is like for a girl for him to school in afghanistan. the combination is so hard for us in our country. how was our problem. our war problems. sixteen year old man. has been a student at seattle shahada since grade one over that time she and principal akila tasha cooley have seen the numbers of girls at your school more than ok melissa yes . and though we have. a few buildings here and there. was a student here they get this seven thousand just as just here so i wonder how long
7:24 am
. the huge increase in the numbers of feel studying it. is a welcome sign of progress compared to the days when the taliban were in power and girls were forbidden from going to school. but the school's enormous growth has a major consequence too many students and not enough classrooms so we have a few buildings here yeah which ones are for girls one is simple this. time of movement is saying that that building is from the beis building them from the from the five buildings from the price we are seeing the buildings are all the buy all the building all the boys are the mice yes. one of the girls that's there is full of the yes.
7:25 am
we don't have a classroom because we don't have buildings and that's just for our parents all of them the buildings are trying to buy if we don't have any building. how many classes in three times we have more then for. what it costs us to come in times a day free time when they. really get is ok just go hard to be on the bus to lug with you. you're. getting. some time off. there is only one high school in this neighborhood which is why the girls come prong far away from all the population is growing and day by day the girls come knocking on our door to be enrolled and we cannot tell them no joy. we have to accept them but we don't have enough space and that's why we have
7:26 am
problems. the. lack of infrastructure is only one of many reasons why so many afghan girls are out of school. in fact no one actually knows how many girls are in school not even the afghan government the ministry of education is not sure how many students are there is it eleven million or is it seven point two million is it eight million nobody knows exactly how many students are there. that's just one of several findings of a recent independent review on corruption within the ministry of education released late last year the results made headlines across the country it found widespread corruption throughout the education system ministry. of bashar is the former
7:27 am
director of afghanistan's anti corruption watchdog and author of the report after spending billions and billions of dollars in the last sixteen years. we have not been able actually to have any kind of building for most of the schools our finding shows that. the treaty money was taken in cash to remote parts of afghanistan by the trustees and we had information that the money did not make the right people. had siad all shahada there aren't even enough classrooms for the boys. many classes are held in the hallways or in stairwells wherever a teacher came from space. the only place you won't find boys attending classes is in a tent or out in the open with the girls in the past living area where together by some girls we didn't first through lack of that class is ok we had enough classes
7:28 am
here but right now we have too much people we have too much a student here because of this there is no play is. recognizing the desperate need at the school japanese donors built to need buildings five years ago so girls would have their own classrooms. at the school shura community leaders decided to give those buildings to the people. in this school is the blanks for us to girls because when a freelancer coming we were under the sun we were under the radar and therefore in ours next one did the school's frat but right now is this vices i don't know why you feel angry about. the angry yes because in the past the three are when they are coming so they will think about us as about about the gears but right now it's the my school i don't know why and it's right makes me really angry that's why i always
7:29 am
the right of the girls are like. improving education especially for girls is a well known objective for international donors principal akila says the local community gave the buildings to the boys thinking. that donors would come back to build more classrooms for the girls. the honey. what if. people think n.g.o.s come here to work only for girls so the community decided the bolling's should be for the boys. i don't know if the school's management or others interview these issues are always decided by the males in the school management. did the donors ever come back after they built the building. they came once to visit then went back home to ruffle. the security
7:30 am
situation continues to deteriorate in afghanistan as a result there we feel international donors are able to visit the projects they support so many rely on third party monitors to do that work which according to the anti corruption committee opens yet another avenue for corruption we've found that the school monitors and instead of doing proper monitoring off the quality of education. they have been working for themselves you know to go to some of the school to kind of harass the teachers in the school administration get money from them and then through their evaluation once they were happy we had an example our school that we were working with them but actually on which has a thousand kids on the register actually when we went in there there were twelve kids coming to school. in kaplan is a researcher who contributed to the anticorruption report as an education
7:31 am
specialist he works with the norwegian and geo providing support for schools throughout afghanistan including this school for the deaf and kabul. sign language which. kaplan says he's fortunate to be able to visit the projects and geo supports it's often kind of difficult for donors to be able to do that because of security concerns but also sometimes it's not always the interest to go out and follow up on these things and to go out and visit so it doesn't happen very often i think even when you get a feeling for something in a way that you don't if you're sitting behind a desk you know you see people and you see them engaging in learning it and i mean for me that's the reason to be here but without that i would just lose the feeling for it i think altogether but he says lack of donor access and oversight is only one of the issues affecting girls' education in afghanistan while girls of lacking so much more than boys when it comes to education well i think you know at least in the past there'd been just much more of
7:32 am
a focus on just getting anyone in the school first and then it was easier to get boys into school and. you know and also just because of gender norms you know that the more attention has been focused on boys than girls generally see india as a country that's leaving all this like saying that they are not that they're not that there's all this thing that they're. as the top. levels of the afghan government and the international community deal with the findings of the anti corruption report the staff and the girls that say it will shahada face more immediate issues. the first shift of the school day from six am to ten am is almost over and while four hours might seem a little light on school times it may be a blessing in disguise because any longer on the girls may happen is to play with.
7:33 am
the trash talk a new car bomb we have seven thousand go but both male and female students have to use the same time on soft toys. we tell them during the summer do it at home before coming to school. have you ever gone to the toilet in your school yes i was seven years old. or when to call and. it's a will but situation here. the biggest car would you. go to the bar. with this. poor working conditions in most schools make it more difficult to attract female teachers yet they're desperately needed because many families still will not accept men teaching their daughters.
