jalalabad in northern afghanistan three explosions followed by a six hour gun battle at least fifteen people have been killed and the same number wounded it's a city that's been popping up time and time again in recent weeks in the news hours as the security situation deteriorates it's been attack after attack often claimed by eisel most recently saturday tens of people fled to safer rooms to escape fighters who stormed a training school for midwives but it's not the only region hit in afghanistan today charlotte bella's has been covering events from the afghan capital kabul and she tells us more now she joins us live so charlotte tell us how all this played out today. good evening well let's start with the attack in jalalabad the distal has gone up so enough fifteen people dead fourteen civilians and one security officer and fifteen others were wounded this attack lasted around six hours inside it around and live in am local time.

laden with explosives drove up to the department for refugees in and then go home province two gunmen jumped out wearing suicide vests and made their way inside there were multiple explosions they blew up the car and then a gun battle ensued with afghan special forces for the following six hours now a number of people did manage to get out of the building as the gun battle ensued but obviously a number did not this building is in a very sensitive area some external you had a u.n. compound on the other side main hospital in jalalabad it is also just one hundred meters down the road from where that the tech and midwife training facility happened on saturday very similar attack to the one we saw today explosions then gunmen in that attack three people died and sixty seven people were trapped inside for the better half of the day on saturday i so took responsibility for that attack no one has taken responsibility for today's attack as yet ok so and what else can

you tell us about what happened in the western far province. so the attack in far province happened around dawn there was a passenger bus it was morning from hair off right in the waist of afghanistan making its way on the main highway towards kabul when it drove over a roadside bomb a live in people killed thirty seven wounded tragic seeing those thirty seven being treated in hospital. the government coming out saying that they believe that this was the taliban the taliban and the government have been engaged in heavy fighting in far province this year you may remember in may the taliban briefly took control of farah city until they were pushed out and the government saying that they believe that this roadside bomb was meant for these security forces unfortunately the passenger bus we have refused all right charla bell us live for us in kabul and one of our viewers who follows us on facebook by the name of harris says sympathies

and condemnation from pakistan in reference to all of these fatalities today in afghanistan more than a decade after the fall the taliban in two thousand and one the armed group is still active across afghanistan check out our interactive bits on al-jazeera dot com showing which parts of the country the armed group controls. consistently inconsistent that's one way of looking at donald trump's approach to international diplomacy he surprisingly announced a willingness to meet iran's president a little more than a week after threatening him through tweets written in all caps trump says the meeting could happen any time and without preconditions but his iranian counterpart says before any meeting takes place the u.s. must first reenter the two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal from which trump with true earlier share at all echoes his interactions with north korea's leader who he threatened with fire and fury before forging a quote special bond so what can be taken from this pivot this different approach

to iran from donald trump is with us live in washington d.c. mike actually what does secretary mike pompei o taking from this new approach. well my pump has gone on the record within hours of donald trump saying he would be willing to meet the iranians with no preconditions saying actually there would be preconditions they want to make sure that iran limited its nuclear ambitions that it stopped what he described as a malign influence in the region and also they discussed human rights the donald trump at his news conference with the italian prime minister said he was ready to meet any time any place with no preconditions so is there a split between the two while might pompey oh really is i suspect trying to please some allies there will be those in the region particularly the israelis the saudi arabians and the emma ratties who will be deeply concerned that donald trump would

even consider meeting the iranians given that he has been seen really by them as an ally in their battles against iran over the last eighteen months two years or so and so i think that was to carry them down but let's be clear donald trump runs the white house if he decides this is what is going to happen then this could actually happen but it seems there's going to be a long way between seeing that in a room in the white house and something actually happening for a number of reasons not least the iranians aren't overly keen unless the u.s. goes back into the arena a nuclear deal you remember it was in me that donald trump breached the international agreement by pulling the united states out of it and we'll see sanctions beginning to snap back at the beginning of next month and there's also the additional problem of who facilitates this where north korea was going to have talks with donald trump the south koreans played a key pivotal part because they had links with going yang there is an all this

success to do that with the iranians although the french would probably be key to all of this but no one is leaping into this to say yet we can get this sorted and get this sorted quickly so there's a lot. of groaned to cover this is donald trump doing what donald trump does which is largely speaking off the cuff and so you're question not thinking through the consequences not consulting or even beginning to consider consulting his foreign policy stuff and just seeing something that he hopes might lead to something else hillary mann. sure pardon me i'm jumping to the next voice in this conversation my apologies alan hillary mann leverett is a former white house official and a former negotiator with iran during the toward bush administration we always look forward to having you it conversations a time like this i got a little bit ahead of myself hillary but the first question is considering that donald trump did pull out of the iran nuclear deal what reason does iran have to

trust him in a negotiation to even come back to the table. iran has absolutely no reason whatsoever to trust president travel or the united states government the history between the united states government and the government of the islamic republic of iran has been one wrought with tremendous ups and downs mostly downs so there is real no real really no reason to trust but that said the relations between states are not really built on trust and they're not really built on friendships they're built on interests and in fact what i think has been under reported has been have been the meetings that president trump has had with former secretary of state henry kissinger who famously coined that line that states don't have friends they have interests so if there are interests that iran has that it seeks to protect or promote and they could do so by meeting with trump not necessarily to resolve problems between the united states and iran but to protect or promote iran's

interests in some other ways perhaps even to constrain the united states because a president trump is speaking with president rouhani he's not attacking him he's not sending u.s. warships against him there could be a variety of iranian reasons to meet and be in talks with the united states that don't necessarily need lead to the resolution of problems so is our alan fisher said in some ways this is donald practicing diplomacy or foreign policy off the cuff if you will sometimes he says things that it's clear that people in the state department did not know about how would you characterize that as as an effective tactic if it's effective at all. well it remains to be seen whether it was effective with north korea a similar set of dynamics happen with north korea then secretary of state on the u.s. side secretary taylor's and had no idea what was going on with north korea he found out from from new shows so we'll see how successful it was with north korea whether

or not it is in fact in substance over the long term successful with north korea the white house president trump thinks that his policy toward north korea and setting up that summit with the chair with chairman king and kim of north korea that that was successful and from what we understand he is seeking to replicate that where he can and where he thinks it's useful for the united states and most importantly for himself and he may be able to replicate that or i think the view is that he could replicate that with the iranians but he recognizes in order to replicate that he would have to do so with no preconditions not listing the litany of concerns or gripes that the u.s. has against iran and we have to basically meet meet the iranians halfway in an atmosphere of mutual respect ok hillary mann leverett thank you so much for joining us we appreciate it. thank you so what are people saying about this online when we

talk about iran and us president donald trump people always have opinions leah's so what are they talking about online they do it's quite divisive as you can imagine and sometimes it's just easier to tell the story in pictures more specifically political cartoons now some are saying the proposed trump rouhani meeting is all about oil or assets as hillary mann leverett was saying while the u.s. may threaten to not buy iranian oil iran has control over the strait of hormuz a major oil export route for global trade so that's one option here we have others saying that the relationship between the u.s. and iran is all about trust and broken trust this cartoon poking fun at the iran nuclear deal and iran supplying supreme leader saying cheating what cheating than with a nuclear warhead hidden under his robe we also have kevin sears he's an artist and he shows north korea's leader giving rouhani some advice on meeting with trump trump here texting to never threaten the u.s.

again rouhani receiving the text message asking what now then kim saying call him a dotard then you'll then say you'll denuclearize than hell brag about how he saved the world now at the end of the day is the proposed meeting just all talk artist bill de thinks so and is calling the bluff on both sides he calls them both dangerous when bags simply means they talk a lot without getting much done now if you see a political cartoon about the story do let me know they're fun to follow you can get in touch with us as always with the story with the hash tag a.j. news grid for shell. and also comment any time or on facebook facebook dot com slash al-jazeera or on twitter our handle is at english or just use the hash tag when you do that has fact a.j. news great what's happened telegram is plus nine seven four five zero one one one one four nine we like to hear from you and bring you into this dialogue. senators and the u.s. are grilling at the shells on how they treat my current children had been detained

and separated from their parents there has been an outcry since the top administration ordered young children including parents to be held in detention centers after crossing the mexico border but some older minors are being put in similar places long before this new policy came into place this is the hearing right now that is happening before the u.s. senate we're going to listen in for just a moment a lot of times you will not want to take that child back with them and risk having to make that journey again they've succeeded by getting their child here and as we have seen with these individuals that were arrested many of them during the zero tolerance probably program many that individuals are repeat offenders they've been deported previously they've got premeal histories here in the united states meaning they've been living here in the country illegally were caught arrested and report and removed it's easier for them to leave their child here to go back to their home country and try to reenter this country again illegally as a single adult as opposed to with a child in senator feinstein and then i'm going to step out

a minute senator hatch will be after senator feinstein thanks very much mr chairman i'd like to have a conversation with you commander my finance jury in this goes back to the year two thousand when i happened to be watching television and i saw a young chinese girl maybe twelve years old before an immigration judge in seattle she was manacled hand and foot she couldn't understand the judge the cheers who were poor and down her face that was in the days when people were coming in and can . tain ors some died some survived she was a survival and we did a bill called the unaccompanied alien child protection act of two thousand which took children out of ice and put them in h.h.s. the bill also provided for some pro bono and legal help which didn't make it into

the final bill which i'm now told was the homeland security act of two thousand and two so senator hirono has picked that up and done that part of the bill probably better than i did it but i'm happy to be her co-sponsor. and so there's a long and emotional history i was so struck this morning by the fact that there are eleven thousand. three hundred and sixteen minors in care of h.h.s. today. it's clear that we have a huge problem in my understanding those numbers are down to somewhat. how did all of this happen. it appears to me that when border patrol agents were separating the families at the border they did not adequately document the family

units so your knowledge with the children you have what kind of documentation do they bring with them when they're arrested or across the border or goes through a port of entry wherever it is that is helpful to you. thank you senator so. the mechanism for referring a child into the care of or are. by a d h s agency typically c.b.p. but in in some cases it can also be i think. is that they have limited access to the i t system that's used by the us supreme which is called the portal they have the ability to refer into that portal and they can actually in the case of c.b.p. they can make a referral starting with their system so there isn't. you know. we

just say it like it is don't worry about it. this is a novel situation it is there have always been some miners who have been separated . typically because of serious criminal charges faced by the parents or other concerns let me interrupt you we had a briefing that senator grassley arranged for some of senator durbin i know was there and i think senator leahy and we were briefed and i thought the number was fifteen percent to twenty percent at the highest there listening to the singer senate senator that is from california dianne feinstein that in the senate for decades now putting questions to officials from both ice that is that immigration and customs enforcement and h h s which is health and human services both of those departments have been dealing with the. minor children who have been separated from their parents by order of the trump administration and castro has been listening to

this as well from washington d.c. haiti it seems like that at least from what we have been able to hear what the senators want to know is when you separate these families at the very least what is the document documentation you have to figure out who goes where is that kind of what the crux of the questioning is banned. it is and it's notable richelle that these critical questions are coming from a bipartisan panel of leaders here who have said that this separation of families issue in the welfare of these children is not a partisan issue and in fact these concerns date back even prior to the trump administration but what they're really zeroing in on now and as you indicated is where are these children and where are their parents notably the four hundred and more who were deported from this country and how will it be possible to bring those two parties back together and there is an astonishing lack of answers coming from

the government both in this setting before the senate judiciary committee as well as before several federal courts where these questions have come up and the consistent explanation given by government representatives has been that there is a lack of a legal mechanism to reunite these four hundred plus children with their already deportee parents and at this point. they the government are working with advocacy groups in central america to try to track down these parents establish their true claim to these children and then that still leaves open the question of exactly how to put parent and child together so this will be a long road ahead for shell it will show castro life for us in washington d.c. and one of our viewers following this on facebook as a pretty upset about the situation of the children being separated he wrote human rights for human that includes women and children right so appreciate the comments and i hope the comments keep coming with this next story we're about to report on

as well the u.n. special envoy to syria says he wants agreement from iran russia and turkey on the formation of a body for drafting a new syrian constitution stephon by the story hopes to finalize the plan in september he made the comments is the latest round of talks wrapped up in the. city of sochi all parties vowed to work towards the resettlement of syrian refugees as well as a pilot project for prisoner swaps between the government and opposition is going out ahead of tell me who's been following the talks at sochi so tell us more about what came out of this. well i think really what the most concrete thing that came out of this is that all parties agreed to talk again so certainly they will be and has done a eleven round before the end of the year now when it comes to for the formation of a constitutional committee where if you listen to the russians they will tell you

that both the government and the opposition have put forward a list of twenty five names there'd be a similar list representing the civil society but also when you talk to the u.n. well they tell you that they still going to meet in september to decide on the formation of that committee so still a lot to hash down there now there's another file that has also been discussed during these two days and that's a swap of prisoners and from what we understand these have been very difficult talks that idea has been for put forward first time during the us than the eight talks so that was at the beginning of the year the idea of having a pilot meaning just to have a limited swap as a measure of confidence building between the two sides well from what we understand and certainly we just heard that from the head of the opposition. delegation that is here in sochi that that should happen but the names have still not been fully

greenlighted by old sides they will be also another meeting of the working group in the coming weeks probably by early september now certainly there is a big elephant in the room at this particular moment and that is the looming battle for live if you listen to the head of the syrian delegation in boston bashara jaafari he made it very clear that the syrian government will take control of the entire territory including it libya actually. accuse the turks of occupying that area where even you listen to the opposition the opposition is warning against that saying that it was actually quite this safe area that that back to will certainly put a lot of problems for any kind of further talks would be

a huge roadblock between the two sides there is certainly a huge concern to three million people living in that area and their safety is a huge concern so i think that really the biggest achievement is that everyone agrees to talk again ok thank you very much joining us from sochi and there have of course been a lot of changes in syria in recent months with the government sweeping across the country retaken territory eisel and opposition rebels so let's look at a map it gives you an idea of who controls what in syria now so the green area. in the northwest is where most of the rebels who have surrendered have been sent in exchange for handing over their weapons to our forces hopefully we can get that map we lost the map but we're going to continue this conversation there it is ok and there's lots of dots there as well the russian iranian and turkish posts and circling the rebel area just to give you kind of the lay of the land right now

saima move on as a lecturer in international relations at lancaster university joins us via skype from darkest or south yorkshire we appreciate your time very much so simon is it your understanding. that the rebels that have chosen the opposition have chosen to participate and these talks be it a star or sochi are they truly connected to the rebels on the ground what's happening on the ground. well i think that's been one of the biggest problems within the syrian context the syrian war ever since it started that the people who were speaking to the opposition were people that didn't really have that strong connection they were people with that with the context in the conflict on the ground in syria there were people that had got out of the country very early on and yet were speaking on behalf of people who were either unable or unwilling to leave the country which was was really quite quite unpopular with the people of syria who really struggled to build some kind of affinity with those people who were

allegedly speaking on their behalf understandably so so i think what we see is that yes there are people speaking or supposedly for rebel groups but in actual fact they aren't necessarily speaking with their oath or see or with their approval so so what this will actually mean is that if there is any agreement down the line it may not actually draw the support from those people who are in syria fighting against the assad regime on a daily basis it certainly makes the question will anything actually be successful and so that that's a big concern another may concern is that the big sticking point is still disagreement over what should happen to the assad regime regime should they stay should they go if that can't be overcome what chances is there that any of this will work. i think that is as you say the fundamental sticking point it's the issue that has plagued this conflict ever since the protests began early in twenty eleven

when people took to the streets demanding a better quality of life they demanded a more democratic syria and ever since then the regime of bashar al assad has sought to crush the protesters the opposition movement and using all manner of its sovereign power be it restricting civil society restricting political space or indeed using the military apparatus of the state to regulate life and kill people and so with that in mind after seven years of brutal behavior of killing ninety five percent of all of those who've been killed in the syrian conflict i think it's hard for there to be any crazy shit and well positioned figures world hola right the continued presence of bashar al assad in an office and that being said as well it's hard for the u.s. and for the u.k. to hold such a position having seen assad routinely break international law with our use of chemical weapons simon upon thank you very much for joining us we appreciate it

thank you i may have a page on our website al-jazeera dot com devoted exclusively to the continuing updates on this seven year war in syria also be investigation into chemical weapons used by the o.p.c. the u.s. position as well they are what they call their troops go to our main page and click on syria's war tab at the top if they're watching us on facebook live an extra story coming up on sort of all thank you very much and also ahead on news credit scoring the vulnerable more allegations that british charities had ignore years of sexual abuse by staff. indian. hello and welcome back let's look at the weather across levant and western parts of asia a largely fine picture tashkent there community thirty four degrees again tehran

very close to forty fairly old fairly stiff wind blowing down through iraq condones through the gulf and so it has chances and lifted dust around around the eastern side of the mediterranean sea looking fine still some shows cross the caucasus and those expenses it continues to head on into service day but a bright day in beirut highs of thirty degrees then in theory be impinged breeze is certainly working its way down through the gulf so the humidity remains fairly low which is unusual for this time of the year here forty three degrees is the forecast high forward other side the potential not quite as warm forty there from indiana forty two from i can you see the cloud across more southern areas and. little bit cooler with low cloud at times down into southern portions of africa it's a fine picture fairly brisk breeze for cape town the highs of sixteen degrees fine conditions continue to head on through into thursday for central parts of africa seen some big showers across parts of kenya ethiopia and highlands we've had some

flooding in sudan so sudan seen some showers some showers towards the gulf of guinea region also for parts of west africa and it could be a wet one in bamako. the nature of news as it breaks the syrian government with the backing of iran and russia now controls sixty percent of syria after steadily recapturing territory with detailed coverage what was supposed to be a summit between the two most powerful leaders in the world is taking things to a new level from around the world the backdrop of course all of this is a gigantic power vacuum in northern irish politics with no functioning local government for eighteen months. full of struggles most of the rick warren goes along very well done with and with time this is you done with he she flew in with a. full of pleasure. is a virtue and i had to get our bonfield an intimate look at life in cuba today maybe

for us on the thought of course i got my boss around me when i came out of a sort of all people i may hang my cuba on al-jazeera.

and online and had at our website we have an eye to some of the stories that are trending that have your attention we've already covered here on news spread including fifteen people to work filled and i am after. and a stand today and number four on the list is a topic about. historic elections in zimbabwe yesterday the first without problems in about forty some odd years it was a landmark election and zimbabwe and we are still waiting for the. ahead of a result so let's go to. who's going to be reporting on this part of the front runner say they're certain of victory but some observers have raised concern about vote rigging and the independence of the electoral commission have been checking less hung up outside polling booths to see who's ahead in the count and their areas. twenty four hours after the big day i

guess that the next big day will be actually know officially wine. exactly and the commission says it only announce the results of the presidential election once they have all the results in from all the polling stations more than ten thousand polling stations they told us it could take time and they must be patient joining me is a he is a commission at the electoral commission that he was joining us. the opposition say that the results have been rigged to favor upraised when the response to that. is that the. by the commission is if they come from the polling stations. to announce that it is out the accusation is unfounded it's unfortunate and it is. just. the very patient and. the opposition is threatening to announce their own set of results which they say

they have won if they do what happens to. the commission. and they know the consequences of. it so we can. one is to be very very patient to allow the true process to be followed to allow the commission to get orders out. and there we do the announcement in terms of our law results will be announced within a period of five days so this would be. before the end of the prefix so why do you think some zimbabweans say they don't trust the electoral commission. commission and of course there are some that say they don't those that say they don't trust it it's because the some political parties have used the name of the commission. and therefore the. year

from their parties. being being good to go. for the issues that we do thank you very much thank you for talking to us what's happening now is that outside the opposition party headquarters hundreds of opposition supporters are celebrating they are convinced that their presidential candidate nelson chamisa has won and they celebrating what's also going to happen in about thirty minutes the home affairs minister is going to give a press conference he will deal with the police so you probably warn the public not to announce results and not to incite violence so people are starting by for that as well and for the next batch of results came out at seven pm local time. thank you very much joining us live from harare the semen inside story took an end look at what is at stake in zimbabwe selection millions of zimbabwe and have lived for years in a relentless poverty corruption and are now voting for their future both frontrunners are promising a better future but can they deliver you can check this out if you go to our

website al-jazeera dot com slash shows slash inside story all right we're going to hand it over to my colleague mary now in london for more of the day's news mariya. i there that's right we begin with a call from the united nations 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 deep the conservative kingdom but a number of women who had been advocating for the change have since been arrested the un human rights office said genuine reform appeared to be taking place but dissent was still not accepted since the fifteenth of may at least fifteen government critics were detained we understand that eight of them were later temporarily released until the completion of their procedural review. in some cases their whereabouts are unknown and there is a serious lack of transparency in the processing of their cases are on kabul and is

the director of policy analysis at the doha institute he says the saudi crown prince is taking the same stance on political dissent as his predecessors. one of his a man would what would very much like to be seen as someone who was leading the reforms not being pushed to make the reforms and it seems also that he's taking a zero tolerance policy towards a new sort of dissent especially political against political activists we have seen him actually over the past few months starting 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 zero tolerance policy against any sort of dissent. is his approach actually and this is why we are seeing all these artists in the country. or you

that's the conclusion of a parliamentary reports into that sector recently the u.k. based group oxfam saw several resignations after a scandal involving its staff and haiti the dean baba has more. earlier this year the charity oxfam was rocked by an abuse scandal its deputy chief executive in britain resigned that was after all found was accused of covering up allegations that staff used sex workers while delivering aid to haiti in twenty eleven now a report by the u.k. parliament says lessons a still not being learned by the sector we did reach the conclusion that it would appear that often reputation of the organization has been put it at the protection of the vulnerable that cannot be right that must stop. the report highlights four key areas where there's a clear need for improvement empowerment meaning everyone who receives a should know how to seek help if their rights are violated reporting with donor

organizations actively seeking and responding to reports of abuse accountability including an independent women for victims and survivors if established channels have failed them and screening including a global register of aid workers to prevent known abuses from getting new jobs. the report also looks at reported abuse and exploitation by united nations peacekeepers including in the central african republic it says there's no single u.n. body trying to investigations and quote victims appear to be essentially forgotten campaigners say there needs to be a global push to prosecute and jail abuses wherever they work when i work for the red cross and balls in your i heard of rumors of the sexual exploitation of children in the bosnian war and we've now seen in the whistleblower movie that in fact many people and pound you in the nine hundred ninety s. that this was a problem early to thousands we've seen the food for six scandals and we saw this is a problem the difference is finally that people in britain are starting to realize

and the people around the world a starting to realize this is not just a betrayal of the children and the women that are being raped this is a betrayal of taxpayer funds and this is a betrayal of the dinah's. the u.k.'s charity commission is currently investigating how save the children handled such a harassment allegations against senior staff the charity suspended bidding for u.k. government funding so has oakes fine and it's also set up an independent whistleblowing lawyer positive steps but real global change could take many many years to al-jazeera the. first one is a senior law lecturer at the university of essex and former director of the charitable human rights organisation redress she joins us live from essex we appreciate your time very much so as nadeem reported there there have been resignations from from oxfam and save the children some senior officials but should there be legal accountability absolutely

this is a really important report but it should be seen as the first step in a whole series of measures that should lead to greater accountability both with respect to charity aid workers. assigned with u.k. organizations but it has to be dealt with at the global level one needs to have consistency across the sector to ensure that accountability can be something that is a reality now and into the future is this a a cultural or a structural and institutional issue with the world as a whole or are can reports like this sometimes paint too broad of a brush across the sector that that by and large is was established to do something good. humanitarian aid workers

are doing extremely good work all over the world what's important to note though is that in the rule of law gap that is associated with post conflict countries there's a natural gas in processes to deal with this kind of abuse at the domestic level in the countries where these vulnerable people are located so that is the heart of the problem which. we're very hopeful that governments will like the u.k. but also others will continue to address to ensure that their own laws are capable of investigating and prosecuting abuses of their nationals how challenging is it because yes as you said these are the most vulnerable people that need the help in the first place and then if they are raving to my surely they must

feel it's almost impossible to go speak to somebody about it so what did the need to have a mechanism in place a system in place to make sure that these people that have been read dictum eyes have somewhere or someone to to go. it's a really important problem because when you have vulnerable people who are looking to humanitarian aid organizations for food for basic supplies and then that's duty of care is turned into something horrible like sexual exploitation and abuse it's absolutely challenging for the individuals to come forward so there needs to be robust structures within these field contacts to ensure that individuals can come forward the parliamentary report speaks about in person process but that needs to be integrated into the fields contacts in every

country where where there are large scale humanitarian aid operations or carla hersman thank you so much for joining us we appreciate it. so the gun debate in the u.s. is about to get more complicated if that's even possible but it clearly is our social media presenter that harding has been a in this conversation on social media yeah well it's quite the conversation tune it's getting more complicated because guns are about to become even more excessive oil and it's all because of three d. printing as of when say if you have access to a three d. printer in the u.s. you will be able to print your own gun literally thousand copies have already been linked and printed it's all by a texas based company they want to settlement with the u.s. government that would allow it to legally publish their designs the obama administration took up the case then the trepan ministration dropped it however you

still have the money making to side to the story who will lose out on gun sales if three d. gun printing a successful the likely answer is the n.r.a. the national rifle association now just a few hours ago donald trump tweeted all about all of this he said i'm looking into three d. plastic guns being sold to the public already spoke to the n.r.a. doesn't seem to make much sense politicians on the other side of the aisle agree but perhaps for different reasons if you are prohibited from having guns because you have a lengthy criminal rap sheet multiple felony convictions you'd never be able to pass a background check in a gun store and buy a gun but you can make your own this is not a question of gun rights this is really if there were a terrorist and criminal rights organization they'd be cheering today several u.s. states said on monday that they would jointly sue the trumpet ministration in a last ditch effort to block the public from being able to download printable three

d. guns now the states behind the lawsuit argue that publishing blueprints would allow criminals easy access to weapons that issue though some say is a moot point. it makes little practical difference of the united states because with the black market people who shouldn't have guns are still able to buy them anyway the reaction online has been mixed as well the house foreign affairs committee for democrats tweeted saying that three d. guns do not have serial numbers making them illegal in several states using the hash tag stop downloadable guns others are talking about how easy it would be to take them through a metal detector with just small removable sometimes metal parts now pete here said that three d. printed all guns are the second fastest way to get a gun i think he's saying that the fastest way of course would be just to buy one kaitlin here she is for these three d. printed guns she said you should be able to print a three d. gun in the comfort of your home without the state's knowledge or approval and then

you have ed here he said i covered the three d. printing industry for four years i know that this is a threat to our country three d. printing is great but not the free transmission of gun designs like ed said three d. printers are not the problem here it's much like the enter net and can be used for good and bad things so far three d. printing has been revolutionary on many fronts take prosthetics for example by onic limbs used to cost tens of thousands of dollars but because of three d. printing some versions are jeep are and more accessible to people who may not otherwise have one guess you could say the same is true for guns and we want to know what you think how would a three d. gun be viewed in your community wherever you are would it be a sign of forward thinking technology or a total disaster just waiting to happen do let me know as always our hash tag a.j. news grid. all right for our facebook live. coming up on company watch mobile mosques to be able to host more most wanted most in japan also

on the. politics. and sports.

thank you. it's one of the biggest athletes in sports is in the news and it's not about sports or tatyana they're on that thank you good to see you on news group again right on top of being one of the globe's biggest sports stars le bron james as the coming one of the world's most socially politically influential athletes that could that be a future career in politics for the cleveland cavaliers star who he's admitted that

he could consider running against donald trump in the next presidential election the admission came following him launching a school in his hometown of current high on monday a move that will surely do not damage to the public profile the i promise school is a joint venture between james's foundation and the local school districts that will focus on the needs of underprivileged elementary school students while their brown is no stranger to the u.s. political scene in two thousand and sixteen he endorsed democrat candidate hillary clinton ahead of the u.s. presidential election abroad even introduced her at a rally in cleveland last year he labeled president trump a bomb and a miss he says he doesn't regret and which followed trump resigning his white house invitation to steph curry who was part of the golden state's championship winning team and their brawn has also been hugely outspoken on race relations in the u.s. well we spoke to rob at little c.e.o.

of black sports and entertainment who says the problem school to support and what it takes to make it in politics. but it kills me about le bron is that he remembers vividly that things get a grip totally different from him as a child if it wasn't you know for basketball and because now he had that opportunity he has that voice he wants to get back in meaningful ways and that doesn't always happen with every you know athlete that makes it out of the inner city just as you did he had he still hope that he's not caught up with his fame and its fortunes or that he still wants you know the kids to get an opportunity that he didn't have as a child and watching the every kid can't be think they can play basketball on play football play hockey baseball you want to give those kids an opportunity use their mind to change the world i think he has the type of intelligence. that kind of

backing the type of charm and the type of drive which comes from being an athlete that he would be very successful in public office i don't know if that's something that he would want to do because obviously politics as a reason as a college politics is it's a lot of. it is not as clean as you would want to be limited he wants to get into debt to clean it up a bit but i think yes massive crossover appeal and i think the base that he's doing now at the end of his career is les and then foundation that if you doesn't want to go into politics or pretty much anything that people see that he's more than just an athlete you're not the one is just going to shut up and dribble he is someone that is willing to take a stand to put his money where his mouth is to put his time where its mouth is and that's what people like to see on a politician they want to see someone that they did that they can relate to that is going to fight for them and obliging to show that he's the one that the will fight

for the causes that are important to him. ok on monday's news great we discussed the comeback of for well number one and the mari and katie get back to his old self after being fired lined through injury while he won his first round match at the city open in washington but after how malik reports when in didn't exactly come easy andy murray's journey back to the top is in full swing he took on american mackenzie macdonald in his first much since dropping out of this year's wimbledon but the comeback which is the marquee missed most of last year due to a hip injury didn't get up to leave the start thanks. no grandslam the new year and coming off a surgery in january mari did show plenty of fight with thanks but he also showed clear signs of rust dropping three service games in the opening set and losing it six three months. a change of outfit for the second and

a change of fortune sort of britain way with the he started finding the composure that helped him win three grand slams and he managed to break mcdonald serve thank you thanks. that set up mark take the second six paul was going to. the third that was a really close a fair and a severe test for any player that's not played hard core tennis for a year and a half but while mari started looking more confident frustration started to get a hold of the american opponent who is now making the basic errors like crossing his racquet over the net. i despite the drop in the goals level mari didn't have an easy time finishing him off he needed seven much point opportunities but eventually sealed the decider seven five for the match. was all the evidence of this display mari's still far from his best but by getting

through to see a three hour scrub the scot is at least one step closer to where he wants to be so he'll mallett al-jazeera. while there's been a lot of social media reaction for the scot via twitter let me show you some joy is a morgado with a journalist and tennis commentator he tweeted this andy murray will rise around one hundred ninety thought in the a.t.p. rankings with this went back on top six hundred fifty the tournament official twitter page tweeted this was the white prevails in the wee hours of the morning sports writer for the new york times ben rothenberg added great fights night by andy murray coming back and then hanging on to be marquis mcdonald take seven match points and two hours and thirty seven minutes as always get in touch with us using the hashtag eight a news grid or tweet me directly i am tatiana rashad back here are a tad thank you very much that was it for news breaking in touch with us on social media hash tag is at a.j.
