for blowing themselves up more than eighty other people were injured shelob ellis says more from kabul prison ghani has come out he issued a statement a very really does that after bombings and attacks but this time with it being a shia mosque he has come out condemning the attack saying afghanistan will not be divided sunni shia we stand together and we're unified against attacks of this nature taleban has said this is not they work is suspected they have targeted shia many times especially over the last year there were two attacks here in kabul in march thirty nine people killed both suicide attacks last year there were four quite significant attacks all in kabul suicide attacks and more than one hundred people died in those again i say took responsibility parliamentary and district elections are coming up on october the twentieth security is a big issue the presidential elections are announced for april next year and it is

only everyone's mind not just day to day attacks we've had a couple of attacks on civilians and then province. its operations there and then she put a few attacks between the taliban and i saw this so this is attacks across the country and civilians really taking the hit and being in the crossfire on those attacks in recent months and of course prison gone it's mind he's he's really concerned about the suiting up to the elections to the point that he seems in the national army to afghanistan's fifth biggest city in jalalabad to take control from the police to try and shore up security for civilians. in iran this content is growing over the country for social services and. videos are being shared on social media of demonstrations being held in the small towns and more recently the larger cities including the capital tehran it's from there the reports.

protesters in iran have been chanting against the religious and political elite but for these men and women what they say is the government's mishandling of the economy is their main grievance. this summer identified woman remove her headscarf and increasingly common way for iranian women to protest and began addressing others. let's build a country with our own hands people to not be afraid if we stand together and united neither internal or external powers can confront us we are a rainy and it is not our business what is happening in palestine syria iraq or lebanon why should all our resources go to them social media messages suggest she was arrested. not every iranian on social media is angry some are trying to keep their sense of humor about their financial circumstances posted a video to show how it feels when your money disappears right before your eyes.

even the clerics seem to be showing some compassion delivering this week's friday sermon this preacher said the economy is affecting everything and fixing it is the key to happiness for everyone he blamed government mismanagement and high level corruption for iran's economic troubles that i had said mattie corruption that seriously when it comes to fighting violators there should be no exceptions regardless of their position on their relatives or their contacts these traitors must be called that this. many iranians see the government of president hassan rouhani as being out of touch with them protests aren't expected to topple anyone anytime soon the demonstrations are regarded as being. to small and the government as well as security forces too strong. but people say they're losing faith in their leaders and. in my opinion people should rise up because this government won't be fixed the pool will just get poorer if more efficient people take jobs in

government it would everybody is after their own interests. and. people have the right to protest economic and social issues are all connected and people are really under pressure how much more can they tolerate it arising in that if protests result in a government action and have a positive impact on people's life why not i would part speak well just are not something that we should not look at it from a mystic perspective. protesting doesn't like many are just pushing people to move forward that they themselves don't come out the latest protest come days before the next round of american sanctions are due to be imposed on iran the cleric addressing worshippers at friday prayers this week took the opportunity to take a swipe at the american president donald trump is not human he said he's a wolf disguised as a chip while trump may have alienated america's allies by pulling out of the twenty fifty nuclear deal if his goal was to hurt iran then from what people here are

while i am talking there are thousands of people being tortured without food and without medical care and prisons the regime terms of the family that their relatives have died just to close this chapter of detention this is very dangerous and this is the reason why we came here today to tell the world that thousands of women children old and young people are still detained and tortured and lost their lives because of their opinion and political activity while the world keeps silent . glow has more details now from istanbul. the humanitarian conditions in the syrian prisons have always been a matter since the syrian war began and many hooman rights organizations have published reports about the human rights abuses and violations and tortures in the syrian prisons and now these turkish and syrian n.g.o.s have come together and they are saying that international community even the are of nations are kind of death to this problem and they are pointing out that as the syrian regime is a vent thing in the south they are coming to their approaching to

a political solution and they are afraid that bashar assad is trying to get their way with his every jeems and supporters crimes by publishing this fake death records saying that these people lost their lives and not by torture but some natural health reasons according to the official numbers at these two hundred thousand people have been detained since the syrian uprising began seven years ago at this one thousand of them or under the age of eighteen and four thousand five hundred of them are women and rape is the really big matter among women and young kids according to the witnesses and the syrian civilians and the current number of the taney is three thousand seven hundred according to the office show figures but the human rights organizations warn that these are good numbers by the regime and the actual numbers are probably much higher than that.

traditional grazing methods. we have to take you a little boy brutal but it's very difficult because many people don't know how to do this they always think the hurdles are stupid. they're members of the shepherds association of the mediterranean mountains given the risk of forest fires in this part of southwest spain the organization is promoting the practice of allowing sheep and goats to roam extensively and create natural fire breaks. you have to have everything prepared fires can always break out but if there's no fuel for the far then it won't be so serious but you have to begin the work in the winter we've always said that. the technique is as simple as this the more scrub and undergrowth frogs can eat the less fuel there is for a fire to spread. ultimately it may prove difficult to reintroduce traditional

know how the herders get older they cover less ground and youngsters just don't seem keen to take on such a tough job. now there are more fires these days is less. and when there are a few flocks of farmland gets very overgrown and it's going to take a lot of work to recover that. the ruins of farm houses like these dot the countryside and there are a clear sign that the old ways are dying out and the younger generation simply don't find sheep herding profitable anymore. but for these brothers it's their way of life where man and beast blend with the landscape. spain. opponents of maker i was president say his government is taking unprecedented action in order to crush a nationwide uprising

in this. the lack of guarantees of due process is more worrisome than the law itself says a nicaraguan constitutional expert. the courts don't act in accordance with legal constitutional principles that govern a state of law but rather in accordance with the political interests of those who decide what happens in nicaragua but daniel ortega and his wife they don't hide it . or take unapologetic accuses the u.n. of being an accomplice to terrorists criticizing a law that could soon see nicaragua's prisons overflow. you see in human al-jazeera . and now for a reminder of the headlines on al-jazeera zimbabwe's opposition leader is claiming fraud in monday's election the president that wrestling just over fifty percent of

brown in the heart of china soil country where local farmers say they've got a lot to thank president trump for find out why on al-jazeera. fresh from elections pakistan is facing a financial squeeze the economy is running low on foreign reserves now august time has had fourteen i.m.f. financing programs since nine hundred eighty and new loans are likely to come with strict conditions talk of a bailout is putting the country's economic relationship with china in focus the fifty seven billion dollars china pakistan economic corridor has led to massive imports from china u.s. officials are linking the chinese super project to pakistan's financial ills they demanded details on the terms of any chinese loans but islamabad is accusing the u.s. of trying to sour pakistan's financial relationship with beijing kamal hyder reports

from markets in islamabad. the outgoing government had already left a. government. doubling the country. and of course many challenges for iran contra government. that is born to rule on a policy which will make the country more coverage the people of pakistan have voted for change they have already. been out of control again. and. to a hybrid. what they will be hoping for the new government measure that relieve the suffering of the people. joining us now from london is gary seen the emerging markets economist at capital economics good to have you with us first of all how big a financial crisis is pakistan facing it's facing a mountain in

a mounting want an increasingly serious one as well now the backdrop to this is the big infrastructure projects currently going on in the country at least began a couple of years ago and in many ways they're exactly what pakistan needs they're going to build bridges railways roads energy plants which is which is what they see pakistanis it's own economy back on track the problem is that the money is coming from china nobody really knows who is coming from this left pakistan with all of that it's also led to the emergence of a big current account deficit in imports of capital goods needed needed for the construction first started and so they're increasingly facing quite an acute crisis what they've been doing over the past few months is nothing really more than stock measures so they've allowed the currency to weaken a little bit they've raised interest rates they've been spending the foreign exchange reserves piece increasingly got to the point that they need something a lot more drastic and there's a lot of rumors now that they are going to be applying for a loan over the next probably the next couple of weeks even mention the foreign

cars. see reserves and when those start doing bling asia the clock starts ticking down doesn't how much time does the new government have to deal with this so these foreign exchanges as they fall in by about hauffe over the past year or so then now the equivalent turn two months worth of imports so they've got a little bit of time but the trajectory the way things are going is pretty clear and with a sudden surge in exports which seems very unlikely given the competitive problems that pakistan has it's really only one solution which is another loan that they'd ideally get that from china or maybe somewhere in the middle east in this room is the ground of a deal maybe in the offing but that's going to be nothing more than just a stop at what they need is more dramatic measures which i think the i.m.f. will ask them to provide while talking precisely about those dramatic measures because money usually comes with strings attached will that mean that noncom will have to backtrack on some of those campaign pledges exactly say the i.m.f.

is going to be quite tough i suspect in a number of areas first it's going to demand a lot more transparency on these chinese investment projects that at the moment nobody really knows where the money's coming from nobody knows he's going to pay for it nobody knows who's getting what so they're going to want a lot more transparency than ever it's going to upset the chinese. who like the idea the fact that nobody knows exactly how much they're making from these projects they're also going to demand a significant tightening of fiscal policy which means that imran khan who was elected on these pledges to kind of create an islamic welfare state in pakistan is going to base after the opposition have to cut spending rather than increase it and that's going to be quite unpopular i think the one thing he's got going for me is that he's still obviously very early on in his term in office so he can at least blame the opposition but straightaways can have some tough choices to make gareth leather there from capital economics things. still to come on counting the costs opponents are calling it the poison package i'm. will to lift restrictions on past

this size is being voted on one of the world's biggest food exporters. but first the soybean market is going to announce in retaliation to u.s. tariffs china has slapped a twenty five percent levy on u.s. soil beans well the usa is the biggest grower china the top buyer the beans are a key part of the global food chain and used in animal feed china is also trying to shift its supply chain to latin america and boost domestic production our china correspondent adrian brown has this report from the northeast of the country. farmland is precious in china only fifteen percent of the country is arable that makes the lush and fertile province of hay long jiang very important especially now . close to the border with russia this is soybean country.

china is the world's largest consumer of soybeans but it can't grow enough and so is reliant on imports to meet demand that means the decision to impose a twenty five percent levy on u.s. soil beans creates risk yet in this province the trade fight appears to be having a welcome impact. farmers like mn foundling are being urged by the local government to switch their fields to soil from corn offering subsidies as an incentive that'll raise incomes moon says he has a lot to thank president trump for for one when you know hard on when china stops importing from the united states is possible where the price of domestic soybeans welcome up and that means we'll make more money soybeans may flourish in this province but only around ten percent of those consumed in china are domestically grown the instruction to local farmers to grow more soybeans was

a political priority but the reality is this china is a long way from ever being self-sufficient in soybeans which means it's going to be reliant on imports for years to come hi everybody i am a soybean in this cartoon video china appears to be targeting u.s. farmers it's been airing on the international service of state t.v. and has a clear message in china can buy soybeans from other countries if that happens soybean farmers in the u.s. could take an even greater hit. and the soybean plays an essential role in the chinese diet used in cooking oil sources. tofu as well as animal feed the government's now taking action to ensure there's no shortage of what out the door the government is offering more subtle it isn't too salty and farmers are so i believe the gardens been very supportive of the whole soybean industry in the past

cheap soybean imports hurt chinese growers but the tariff war with the united states could secure their future. this week china's ho are way over took apple as the world's number two seller of smartphones the market leader is samsung but apple is still a hugely profitable business this week it joined a very exclusive club on thursday following a spike in its shares its total stock market valuation hit a trillion dollars helping it hit that milestone better than expected quarterly revenue for the global market for smartphones is slowing according to the international dart a corporation higher selling prices and market saturation are among factors weighing on growth apple's next move is to take on netflix in video streaming it's already hiring the talent to make original shows social media giant facebook says it's deleted fake accounts attempting to influence the u.s. mid-term elections almost three hundred thousand people follow the suspended pages
