picked up by hamburg police on tuesday evening. that recent events in turkey and bulgaria have again brought attention to the dangers faced by many journalists around the world it's become a particular problem in nicaragua in the past few months since anti-government protests began in april reporters of found themselves under attack just for doing their job by the way republicans been speaking to fellow journalists in the capital managua. assaults harassments and death threats have come to characterize the working conditions for many independent journalists who are. going to be a member. yeah. we have a video journalist and recalls the moment he was shot in the arm while covering an anti-government demonstration only one batter. i tried to stand and couldn't contract and couldn't feel it i mediately thought the worst. moments after being shot other journalists rushed to winston's aid and drove him to

a private hospital. winstone says most of his colleagues have also been the targets of attacks. is winston's boss and the founder of one hundred percent news he says that since the unrest began threats against his staff haven't stopped said but only thing being a journalist today is a matter of life and death thanks. we've been harassed shot at angry mobs sent by the government to intimidate us at one point you're under siege unable to leave the building for several days. last april in the city of laon a radio station known for being critical of the government who set on fire with journalists still inside. the flames are so big they burst through the front door and ignited the clothes on the taxes as well as a security guard. walking through the charred remains of his office francisco tortoise an independent radio reporter showed us where men armed with machine guns

explosives and petrol canisters stormed the building this is what is left of the offices of radio deal the fire destroyed the roof and practically everything else this radio station was one of the first media outlets to be attacked when the political crisis began but acts of intimidation and violence against the nicaraguan press continue. attacks against the press have left at least one journalist dead so far government representatives however have ignored our request for a statement on the matter as the political conflict drags on organizations like the interim merican press association are calling on the nicaraguan government to investigate and prosecute those responsible for attacks against journalists and their families. and dizzy when i was at the white house is accused venezuela's government of being involved in the death of an opposition leader in the capital caracas fernando who was taken into custody last week over an alleged plot to kill

president nicolas maduro officials say he later killed himself by jumping off the tenth floor of the police headquarters but his party says he was murdered washington is calling on president maduro to release all political prisoners in mediately afghanistan's government is trying new ways to help young men and boys who fought with the taliban some of them are as young as twelve and have been sentenced to offenses for offenses such as attempted suicide or possessing explosive devices prison authorities are using education and games to reverse taliban brainwashing as tony burke now reports. this is a former women's prison at bottom bagging kabul it's been turned into a juvenile rehabilitation center housing children the government says fought with the taliban we can't identify the children all start because they fear reprisals but the boys have either been charged or convicted of a range of activities including planting roadside explosive devices and attempted

suicide bombing offenses they all deny mohammed is sixteen and he's serving a five year sentence for possessing a roadside bomb he says he was framed by family and his and claims he has no connection with the taliban. i have nothing to do with the taliban bad people pay the police to frame me but i did nothing. this type of facility is the first of its kind in the country it houses thirty four detainees age from twelve to seventeen and they are part of a new strategy by the afghan government to move from previous harsh detention conditions to a new more compassionate approach aimed at winning hearts and minds. we try and reverse the taliban brainwashing we are also using some of the same techniques but they only explain to the kids one side and we explain through education both sides and try to tell them that everything that they've been told is not true. once these were cells and now their classrooms boys are taught to read

and write here and given an education they otherwise wouldn't get is designed to show what life is like away from taliban control in many ways they are more fortunate than children detained in other parts of the country. i am studying and i'm going to know all about good things now when i am released i will continue with my life. to marchmont aware that some of the juvenile centers have reasonable living conditions but we get reports of abuse in some of them because of a lack of education there is not violence and sexual abuse. or the. officials say these methods are proving successful in eighty percent of cases but some would argue that the inmates have no choice but to comply but there are no guarantees that once they leave here they won't succumb to the pressures and circumstances that lead them here in the first place. lack of food in prospects can be a driving force behind a young boy's thinking and with

a di conditions in many parts of rural afghanistan it will not be difficult for the taliban to find willing recruits there are concerns of these new government methods don't work these teenagers could pose a threat in the future not only in afghanistan but also other countries to create. suicide attacks or global threat not just to damn a stand and if we don't stop them here then they can happen in other countries as we've seen. it's hard to imagine watching them play volleyball that these boys' lives have been so marred by violence like many others they've lost more than their freedom they have also lost their youth tony berkeley al-jazeera kabul well the ousted president. is challenging the results of last month's election his party's lawyers a filed a complaint to the country's highest court claiming it's was rigged and for the ballot papers were used it mean was unexpectedly defeated by opposition candidate mohammed and his you to hand over power on november seventeenth. it's world

mental health day the world health organization says one in four people will experience some form of mental illness by twenty thirty depression is predicted to be the leading cause of ill health worldwide yet the condition currently receives less than one percent of global aids gender how visited one in groundbreaking mental health organization in sweden. if the countries of northern europe sweden norway denmark and finland regularly feature among the world appears to then why do so many people report being unhappy in sweden alone one in five young women point to rising stress levels affecting their mental health. i think that we have a lot of pressure being perfect. and achieving things and not listening and slowing down. it's expected that by twenty thirty depression will be the

world's leading cause of ill health at the fountain house group of international clubhouses they're focusing on something conventional treatments sometimes overlook the person behind the illness hospitals doctors medications all important but they don't have the resources or perhaps the goals to build relationships and once you get to know somebody you can see beyond a diagnosis. i'm a healthy person here i'm chasing i'm not my diagnosis people always. ask me to do stuff and i think why they ask me i mean i don't know but i do know and i can help. fountain of the save me save me i don't think i'll be around is it fun to be in here for me it all began in new york in the one nine hundred forty s. patients and social workers got together to create

a shared community that would ensure those who got out of the often brutal mental detention facilities of the time it would never have to go back so these are the what three hundred thirty houses that currently are around the world really the united states europe very dominant but a lot of work required in latin america africa and asia yes there's still work to do it needs to be a clubhouse in every country. central thing about the clubs model we talk about the need to be needed you need a place where you want when you where you are. accepted for who you are. i was headed home for many years and isolated myself it was suggested to me to come here and i thought what do i have to list. voluntary to come here that's very important that you come here because you want to come here not because someone else say you have to be

a. human model it's not a swedish mom the american model and. why does it work everywhere because people are the same everywhere we need to be seen we need to be loved to be part of something. it's going more in this now joining us live from washington d.c. is joe hockey freidman who's the vice president of research at the american foundation for suicide prevention madame thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera well the world health organization saying not only that one in four people will experience some form of mental illness but actually by twenty thirty depression is predicted to be the leading cause of ill health worldwide i mean we just had a report from sweden which is one of the world's richest and apparently one of the happiest nations in the world but to say that mental health depression to be the leading cause of ill health worldwide is quite something what do you make of that

statement and how do you interpret it first of all thank you for having me here on international mental health day. depression world wide it is not there's no group or country or demographic that actually is protected from depression and in addition life circumstances environment financial stressors all these factors come together to lead to depression and so these nobody in the world is. immune from those pressures and if we don't start treating it we will have become number one in the world. i mean but this prediction that by twenty so she will be the leading cause of ill health i mean does that mean that things are getting worse or does it just mean that we are diagnosing and accepting that something is the pression whereas perhaps in other times it would have been dismissed or ignored

well that's a good question and i think there are many factors going into it so one of the factors is that we're not investing in mental health the way we invest in other health conditions and so therefore we're getting better at other health conditions and we need to do the same for mental health so that could push other health conditions down and mental health can become a bigger problem in addition i think we are becoming more literate about mental health and so more people are coming forward and saying that they have been suffering i'm not sure that the numbers are increasing as much as the report and the requests for help around the world is changing whether or not it will be the. top cause of. illness that that's left to be seen there mostly depends on what we do as a world if we pay attention to it then there's no reason for that to be the case

you mention that no group. and then certainly on.
