play the last. was always told from the. basketball superstar le bron james get back to his community by opening a school for elementary students. so we begin with a developing story out of afghanistan a gun fight and explosions in the eastern city of jalalabad. just a few hours ago and followed an early attack on a boss in far a province in the west where eight people died in the jalalabad attack shops and government offices have been targeted. between afghan security forces and the gunman at least three explosions have been heard child about us as live for us in kabul this gun battle appears to still be raging. what more do we know.

sporadic gunfire is being heard and they sin city of jalalabad between afghan and special forces and an unknown number of attackers we do understand eight people have been wounded that's just coming out from the negev provincial government spokesperson eight people wounded but he doesn't believe that they were hurt by gunfire or explosions but rather in the if it's to seek safety this will start around ten am local time about four always ago three explosions were heard then gunfire and then the always that have passed the battle is right between the f.b.i. and special forces and these attack is we do understand the government directorate for refugees building quite a very an external to you in compounds the other side is a large hospital we do understand that some people have managed to escape from the stricture of refugees building but sporadic gunfire is still being who now jalalabad capsule of provence is becoming increasingly insecure security has

deteriorated gear this year significantly we have learned in the last twenty four hours statistics which one hundred sixty civilians have been killed more than five hundred wounded in the last three months and thirty attacks by various groups you know the taliban is operating in a province eisel even the haqqani network there was an attack one hundred mi sits down the road from where we're seeing this attack today on sunday in a midwife training facility in that attack three people were killed three staff members at this midwife training facility and so we know that's that the situation there is very dangerous i still took responsibility for the that attack nobody has claimed responsibility for the tech today although the taliban has just released a twitter account that this is not their work and just briefly saw another secure area in afghanistan far off where we've seen. in this other attack happened

happened today. you saw there happened earlier this morning we understand a passenger bus was targeted by a roadside bomb it is in a very remote province of. the west woods iran information is slow coming in on that although we do know around forty people were injured and eight people killed from that passenger bus ok many thanks for the update from kabul. now he's threatened and vowed to isolate it like no other now donald trump is suggesting talks with the russians present hasan rowhani with no conditions it would be the first with an iranian leader since one nine hundred seventy nine live to tell just a moment but first alan fischer has this report from washington d.c. . the u.s. president's surprise offer came during a news conference at the white house with italy's prime minister no preconditions no they want to meet only any time they want. any time they want the u.s.

spy lifted the deal is signed with iran and its international partners when president trump announced in may the u.s. was pulling out even though there was no indication iran was in breach this was a horrible one sided deal that should have never ever been made he don't get for months it was a terrible deal and vote to scrap it when he became president his offer to talk with iran's president well threw up many more questions and moakley conditions means that he's ready to sign on the dotted line so to speak with the iranians so will that be acceptable to the region to the powers in the region to the g.c.c. specifically saudi arabia and the us. i doubt we've been here before they will be met with fire and fury. north korea and its leader before agreeing to a meeting and earlier this month he met russian president vladimir putin in all sinking at a top level summit it'll be interesting to watch the reaction to donald trump's

offer when barack obama was in the white house and said he'd be willing to meet the iranian president he was heavily criticized by republicans democrats and by many right wing commentators who know largely support donald trump. one additional problem might be who would broker a summit with iran south korea pave the way for the meeting with kim jong il in france might be an option president emanuel mccrone had arjan donald trump not to walk away from the iran deal during a state visit to washington is links with tehran and that might open up the necessary diplomatic channels there are voices senior people in this white house have been very critical of the iranian government and called for its removal but this is donald trump's white house if you want something to happen then it could and soon alan fischer al-jazeera at the white house but tom's own senior staff appear to contradict him u.s. secretary of state might pompei or says he's on board with meeting iran's president but that's a several requirements before it could go ahead. president wants to meet with folks

to solve problems if the iranians demonstrate a commitment to make fundamental changes in how they treat their own people reduce their malign behavior can agree that it's worthwhile to enter a nuclear agreement that actually prevents proliferation and the president said he's prepared to sit down and have a conversation with them that's going to run in our correspondent zain. quite a turnaround what are we hearing from tehran in response to this offer of talks. yes absolutely this entire devolution of the nuclear deal has had. excuse me dramatic ups and downs and throughout the process anytime the united states has saber rattle or or verbal e attacked the iranian government what president rouhani and his administration have done time and again is begin leaning on the europeans and saying that it is

now up to you that is signatories to this nuclear deal signed in two thousand and fifteen it is now your responsibility to make sure we can continue to rebuff economic benefits and that you ignore threats by the united states of sanctions and secondary sanctions and that's exactly what he's done this morning as well he received the credentials of the new british ambassador to iran rob macare and in that meeting he made two very important points he said that iran does not intend to interfere with persian gulf oil traffic as he said but he said that the government here maintains that it will continue to sell and export oil no matter what the trumpet ministration says and the fact that the new ambassador is a former oil executive with b.g. group a british oil and gas company is no small matter it sends a signal to iran that the british government is keen to continue working with them and it sends a signal as european governments have been sending to the trumpet ministration that

the nuclear deal was a good deal that it continues to be the stipulations of the deal iran continues to meet them and so donald trump's government has really struggled to gain the support of the wider diplomatic community to go against iran and that's really what leaders here are hoping will pay off in the end again there is a clock on this august sixth is when american sanctions go back into effect against iran and so there is definitely a sense of urgency here for something to change and if we look at ordinary iranians that i mean they must be disappointed by the u.s. putting out this dale and especially after so much optimism when sanctions were lifted that they want the talks to take place. well that trust deficit that we talked about a little earlier really does extend to not just the leaders in iran but the iranian people as well the white house has hope that policies that it has put in place would create a groundswell of anti-government sentiment that could put pressure on iran's

government but that's really not what's happened many iranians see things like the travel ban that was implemented by the trumpet ministration against majority muslim countries as a direct attack on them and their ability to travel to the united states so many iranians see a lot of what's been coming out of the trunk white houses directly targeting not just the government but them as well the economic sanctions the threat of economic sanctions are definitely something that have hit the most vulnerable members of iran's community the hardest the value of iranian currency the ryal has fallen by more than half in less than a year and that is directly affecting iranian people so while the people here are critical of their government for not seeing these moves by the trumpet ministration coming in advance while they are critical of their government they were participating in the gauche asians in the first place negotiating this deal that did not work out there for more critical of the trumpet ministration so it was

really difficult to see how the rouhani government might be able to gain any sort of public support enough momentum so that it would be worth it for them to sit down with the trumpet ministration and carry on with more talks so at this stage in the current political climate in the country it's very difficult to see how any talks between iran and the united states could go forward ok zain many thanks for bringing us that view that from attack. well donald trump says he can do a deal with anyone and claims his tactics have brought america significant triumphs but i don't follow the normal rules of diplomacy now with north korea trump first threatens kim jong un with fire and fury and had neighboring countries fearing conflict on the korean peninsula but within weeks trump surprised everyone by announcing a meeting with kim in singapore where he called him very talented and talked of a very special bond it ended with a supposed pledge of completely clear a zation the deal came however with no details earlier this month

a similar meeting with vladimir putin this time in helsinki trump accepted the russian leaders denial of any interference in two thousand and sixteen elections and later invited him to the white house now he wants to talk to iran's president hassan rouhani after vowing to squeeze the country's oil exports down to zero and threatening iran with consequences few in history have ever suffered tom brooks is a professor of law and government at durham university in the u.k. he joins us now live so tom we seeing a person here in trump's behavior when it comes to dealing with foreign issues foreign policy issues. well we definitely see a pattern of his talking up his this kind of very kind of goma's violent imagery of fire and brimstone all this kind of talk really playing up how his resistance and

his integrity is a towards america's traditional enemies only to do this spectacular u. turn moments later when he finally meets can join an already meets putin or if he goes ahead with this meeting in tehran of what a wonderful friend they are oh the. perfect reassurance is evita is a spectacular turnaround so he's been doing this several times now and i think that we're all getting wise to the tough rhetoric on the one hand the pleasantries that will follow afterwards. not much it would seem following from that the big announcement tends to be that he will meet it all not that the meeting will produce something right ok i mean he says himself that he's the mosque of the deal but i wonder whether this kind of negotiating while it may have its place in business deals has any place and translates when it comes to global politics. yet know exactly right so he sees himself as the world's greatest filmmaker no one

can do it better than him and that the problem certainly in ited states in his view is that the deals of all they by politicians who haven't lacked his business expertise or sufficient business background but at the moment there isn't really anything to show that trumps methods are working so for example he went to north korea that surprised a lot of people that he did that there's a lot of criticism about giving him but his providing a platform to the north korean dictator standing alongside him on an equal level but what is a virtue to parity this morning are reports from the united states that north korea's not only not getting rid of any of its nuclear weapons but it appears to be creating new missiles and a report that was just out in the last few minutes with putin in russia he's again played very strong on going to be tough on russia and so on and so forth but what happens i think today is a is

a trial begins of one of trump's former election advisors in the mueller investigation or several of trump's associates have pleaded guilty to a number of charges already now we turn to iran these kind of tough talking rhetoric here but will it lead to any kind of big change or pause it would be great to see it happen i would warmly welcome it to take place but i suspect what we're really going to see the big news will be that the status quo will continue but trump will try to claim some type of last minute credit. for that happening that warm relations or some kind of new warm dialogue something like this will be the smokescreen but with very little changing on the ground very interesting indeed speak see tom thanks for joining us that from dowry. still ahead here on this news hour including most of syria from opposition fighters the government trains its eyes on the next battlefield. and calling it international help the battle

against a wave of wildfires in the u.s. that showing no signs of less. and in sports it's time for. the plate for rail madrid. coming up. as about when's maybe getting a hint in the next few hours who will lead them into a new era electoral commission will soften out some results thirteen g.m.t. says it's absolutely sure no rigging nor cheating in the let's go straight to her she's in the capital harare sorry we're going to be hearing some results coming in around three hours tara how you're going to be released. well they'll be released fairly slowly in batches but right now the commission is saying things when they

say they have had no reports of vote rigging they say it was a historic turnout more so than. in the last election what's happening now is that some results have been posted outside individual polling stations and people have been coming bit by bit to see how the candidates have done to see who could possibly win this election. this one is for local authorities told to local councillors and you have the m.d.c. alliance led by the main opposition leader nelson chamisa he had two hundred votes and visit polling station and the ruling party. has four hundred two votes one polling station this is the local authority result at one polling station in a suburb in harare i've attains that we've been to have shown zanu p.f. leading for example and the m.d.c. trailing behind but it's too early to tell who is going to win this election a lot of people showed up to votes on monday and a lot of people were saying the main issue they have in mind is the economy and

they want jobs. it's the first photo. on the ballot in nearly four decades. the man who is now in charge president. promises the general elections period will be peaceful. peaceful. end. the main opposition leader nelson chamisa says he's confident of winning by more than sixty percent if the polls are free and think that people have spoken the people are speaking and it's clear that the vote is a vote for victory and one for freedom and one for democracy and one for a new zimbabwe robert mugabe voted in an opposition stronghold in harare the day before the election he says he would not. or the rulings on the party because they forced him to reside in of him by. the european union election observer mission

says the elections were in some cases very smooth but in others totally disorganized. thinking something consistencies rich. able to make your judgment a final judgment that this was. all over all of the election officials say most polling stations open on time and that there were a few issues but things went relatively smoothly some people complained they didn't get to vote. you know they did in many to put their name on the bill found the vote counting is done manually election officials say the results will be announced five days if no candidate wins more than half the votes there will be a runoff as a. no no no the emotions are high some opposition supporters fear the vote is or has been tampered with and the ruling party will try and

manipulate the vote. some analysts already saying the election results will likely be contested. so how. promising change but how difficult is it. well it's going to be very very difficult the main issue is the economy after nearly two decades of economic demise whoever takes over it's going to be really hard to rebuild things open close factories open businesses. have to be seen as credible and that maybe investors will come in and help jumpstart its economy people now anxious waiting for the official results. being played out more on social media twitter. supporters versus supporters on twitter accusing each other of. lying there's not a fake news on social media right now and telling people please wait for the

official results coming in bit by bit three pm local time today that's. ok. the votes are coming results are coming in. now an attack in southern philippines has killed at least eleven people soldiers and civilians are among the casualties after a explosion at a checkpoint. that's just across from. decades of conflict between government forces and armed fighters vidual government is blaming the ice a linked. group. has more from. it happened early choose the morning when a van coming from the hinterlands of basilan drove and stopped at a checkpoint near an army detachment in basilan upon inspection according to the philippine army that's when the single passenger there to needed the bomb it left several members of the living forces of the military dead and their dependents

a surprise many with an announcement he'd be willing to meet the iranian president rouhani at any time without preconditions the two men have been locked in a war of words as trump withdrew the u.s. from the two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal. and zimbabweans make it a hint in the next few hours. who will lead them into a new post mugabe era electoral commission says it will start announcing results at thirteen g.m.t. mondays was the first election in early forty years without a governor on the ballots. united nations is calling on saudi arabia to release all peaceful activists including women who campaigned to lift the world's longest female driving ban the lifting of that ban in june was hailed as a major step forward for women's rights in the deeply conservative kingdom but a number of women who had been advocating for the change have since been arrested and human rights offices office said genuine reform appeared to be taking place but dissent was still not accepted you know with us now is modern column director of

policy analysis. good to speak to you why do you think the united nations is making this call of saudi arabia well i think because of the seriousness of the charges against these ladies the saudi government is actually accusing them of forming so as to destabilize the country and threaten the national security of saudi arabia contacting foreign entities. being agents for for embassies trying to damage also the social fabric of the county if these charges are made against these do these that could actually send them to jail for more than twenty years this is why i believe at this particular stage the united nation is still being in trying to put some pressure on the saudi government in order to release them why such serious charges against activists who were fighting for something that mohamed was going to enact anyway absolutely i mean you are you are right but i think because muhammad is a man with a very much like to be seen as someone who is leading the reforms not being pushed

to make that he forms and it seems also that he's taking a zero tolerance policy towards any sort of dissent especially political against political activists we have seen him actually over the past few months thought. not only women. i mean the liberals who are calling for more rights in the county but all saw the conservatives like for example senior religious. leaders have also been detained in saudi arabia so i mean this is either tolerance policy against any sort of dissent. is his approach actually and this is why we're seeing all these artists in the country how uncomfortable will these sort of calls from the international community especially from the united nations make. any of these i think i think it is very uncomfortable for him it would be very much. annoying because it damages his image because he tried to present himself as

a before model of the past i mean since he became actually crown prince of saudi arabia last year so when the united nations actually steps in and makes these calls to the saudi government i think that damages his image very much especially in the west where he's trying actually to perform very much as an informal in the country and what about within saudi arabia how broadly viewed by people well i think that there is there is different opinions on how some people actually especially the younger generation might see him as a foremost because as you said he never did the ban on women for driving actually and he's introducing some far reaching reforms social reforms this is why i think it's very important to differentiate between social reforms which is he's willing very much actually to conduct political reforms this is something that he's not

willing actually to do so i think he'll have a mixed opinion actually on mohamed bin so might in saudi arabia some people see him as a reformer specially when they are mainly concerned about social reforms this is the binion many of the liberals but on the other hand when it comes to big court rights he's said he's following. zero tolerance policy in the u.n. has recognized that some genuine reforms do seem to be being made and you say they're very much within the social sphere but even these reforms instruction center allowing women to drive must be really upset in certain segments of saudi society absolutely i guess the conservative segment of the society must not be very happy with their with the policies of mohammad this is why we have seen him as a said earlier detaining so many senior religious those in the conference who are boasting some sort of opposition against these policies so i believe that he's going to face more opposition in the coming months and years as he actually. has

his approach towards more social reforms. thanks very much for coming and talking to us. now the syrian military build up is continuing around rebel held province activists are reporting shelling on just south of it lips city and the neighboring how much province a child has died at levels the only significant territory still held by the rebels but president bashar assad has said retaking the province is his top priority the u.n. special envoy to syria is planning talks with iran russia and turkey to finalize a body to draft a new constitution stuff and in a store hopes to hold the discussions in september latest round to try and end the conflict is taking place in the russian city of sochi. meetings behind closed doors continue throughout the first part of the day now according to one source within the opposition a deal on prisoners is about to be reached yesterday there was

a session of the working group on that issue that group will meet again today now that is considered a confidence building measure which to guarantor countries meaning russia iran and turkey as well as the u.n. consider necessary to try to find some sort of common ground between the two parties now also according to the u.n. envoy to fundamental to or there will be a focus on the formation of the constitutional committee both the government delegation and the opposition that is here in sochi have put forward a list of twenty five names each now they're waiting for a similar list to represent civil society once there is an agreement that then they could be within the coming months talk about amending the constitution of two thousand and twelve or maybe changing that even that is even though that is a very complicated issue and both sides don't see eye to eye on it at this stage.

the defense ministers from russia and japan and. a decades long territorial dispute both countries claim the current currents island chain which is currently a part of russia explains the issue. the focus of this dispute is so small it's hard to see on a map russia course of the self cure alls japan refers to them as the northern territories for small islands just to the west of. they were invaded by the then soviet union in one thousand nine hundred five and seventeen thousand japanese forcibly deported shortly after the end of the second world war two of the islands closest to japan and she could turn was supposed to return to japan once a permanent peace deal was signed the deal was never reached tied into possession of these islands of fish. access to future claims for undersea resources despite numerous japanese attempts to resolve the dispute russia has remained adamant the island stay in its control deploying antiship missiles to reinforce the point some

disarming the border and withdrawing troops from the area. following the story from the south korean capital seoul. this is the second round of high level military talks taking place between north and south korea since the landmark into korean summit of april they'll be looking at implementing some of the measures that were agreed then in particular trying to defuse tensions along the demilitarized zone and specifically trying to reduce the numbers of troops and also the weapons that they're armed with as they face off across the d.m.z. including of course the troops who face off famously opposite each other. self looking at between those blue huts it seems to be one of the most overt signs of the animosity that has existed between north and south korea which doesn't seem to fit with the current mood of goodwill specifically the two sides will also be
