lore which are restricts public gatherings has effects on political nature of any protests but more importantly he says he's able to mobilize people to join the defense effort not the war effort but the defense effort he wants to see more voluntary service of of forces to defend the country furthermore there is an escalation of the diplomatic initiative from ukraine to try and get some results from nato to get some results from the united states other allies he wants to see some action. he's not seeing enough action he's not saying it boldly us isn't doing enough but he's indicating that there is no sign of sanctions yet there is no sign of any military form of action at all and so therefore in a way ukraine feels a bit short changed in this situation donald trump has indicated in an interview

with the washington post that he may cancel his meeting with vladimir putin which is jew at the g. twenty summit in one of saris later this week but there's no indication of what the united states intends to do under some of the. following events for us out of moscow russia saying about the sailors have been detained. well the judge in simferopol has ordered equal pretrial detention periods of one month and twenty eight days for twelve of those twenty four ukrainian personnel captured by russia so far we're expecting more because action later on wednesday now according to russia. they're not saying that these men are prisoners of war as crane is insisting on the geneva conventions prisoners of war are.

obliged to receive certain treatments or russia not calling them prisoners of war essentially they're being prosecuted or process that leads to this moment as mere more ordinary criminals they're being accused of illegally trespassing russian maritime borders which i think russia is intentionally doing to try and keep this within its own core system and it could probably resist the calls from ukraine to allow these people to be seen by the international red cross in more news russia is also deploying another. of its. much publicized s. four hundred air defense system now this will be in place in crimea by the end of the year we're being told by the defense ministry in september they announce that a third battalion was already operational in crimea so this might simple calculations would make it the fourth when it's finally operational later in two

this is not a pledging conference rather it's a chance to evaluate whether afghanistan is delivering on its promises to the international donor countries the un assistance mission to afghanistan or you know is pointing to several areas where things are getting better thanks to outside support one concrete example ensuring that there is a police force which is trained which functions police men and women across the country receiving their salaries that is something where there's been huge investment by the international community and that investment continues still virtually every aspect of life in afghanistan is affected by the conflict which has got worse this year besides the war with the taliban and there's now the threat of attacks on civilians by i saw five thousand children have been killed i mean within the first three quarters of twenty which is equal to the total number in twenty seventeen so we are expecting this numbers to go higher by the end of the at the in

have him safe and sound my whole body was hurting and when my son arrived i felt like something passed through me and took the pain away. they've got to take the border with us the church has taken the maid for the first time in more than a month they have regular meals a place to wash their clothes and a roof over their heads they're lucky most of the caravan is getting ready to spend the night in the open air in a makeshift camp that's become so crowded that some people are having to sleep outside its walls but the razor lies patrols in their road and the four thousand kilometers they covered to get here weeks of sleeping rough in particular affected the children my eldest boy almost died of pneumonia they put him in the hospital and put chips in him because he couldn't breathe properly it almost broke my heart seeing him like that now all the dreaming of getting to be of the side reliable the goodwill of

a president who's determined to keep the caravan aren't. we want an opportunity and the us is a land of opportunity we want president trump and his government to give us a hand to think positively not to negativity. in reality there's next to no chance they'll get in they're fleeing poverty and his economic migrants won't qualify for us the soil of their plan b. is mexico having a baby here has given them a chance of citizenship but those decisions can wait for now they're just happy to be sleeping in a bed john holden how does it. these are the top stories the director of the cia will reportedly not take part of a u.s. senate briefing on the murder of. the secretaries of state and defense will brief senators on weapons day on the saudi journalist matter

a very high price if he decides to attack us it will be like a cold shower that will stop the madman who have plans to attack ukraine and if there is no further aggression we will assume that the goal of these actions is the chief indonesian investigators say a plane that plunged into the sea killing one hundred eighty nine people on board should not have been flying the national transport safety committee says the boeing seven three seven should have been grounded over technical issues that experienced the day before the fatal flight the aircraft crashed into the java sea shortly after takeoff from jakarta in october early analysis of the plane's flight data recorder the pilots had battled to keep the plane from going. u.s. republican cindy hyde smith has won mississippi senate runoff election following a controversial campaign myth was caught on camera saying she would happily attend a public hanging if invited she faced african-american democrat mike speak he used to lobby for the former. has been charged with crimes against humanity

those are your headlines the news continues here on. the stream i'm back in about twenty five minutes i'll see you very soon. for you. the war in afghanistan is now here and there is little sign. what will it take to break the deadlock between the government and opposition forces. for millions of afghans the grinding war is now sadly

a part of the daily routine from indiscriminate bombings by the taliban and i still to deadly air raids by afghan and u.s. forces civilians and change how they go about their day just to survive although security forces eventually manage. attacks remain commonplace in the afghan capital but we could go a suicide bomb blast killed dozens of people at a religious gathering to mark the birth anniversary of prophet mohammed. nobody ever heard of any attack on prophet muhammad saree in the past talking on prophet muhammad ceremony is an inhuman act human being never commit such an act and all those who are behind this clearly they are the enemy of the enemy of the qur'an the enemy of the prophets and the enemy of this nation. in recent weeks the taliban and so have stepped up attacks in the regions that had been comparatively peaceful thousands of living in the provinces of. fled their homes after deadly

ambushes that surprised afghan security forces many say they have been forgotten by the government so with the war bogged down in an apparent stalemate is there any hope for peace more on this i'm joined from geneva by sure enough kasi and al jazeera journalist she's covering a meeting with you an afghan leaders and international diplomats looking at ways to end the war. money is a media and technology entrepreneur in the afghan capital kabul he launched reportedly gotten that it's a new site that aims to broaden coverage of issues affecting afghanistan also in kabul is that she recently ran for office in afghanistan's parliamentary elections and is an architect and entrepreneur and completing our line up from kabul is. he's a freelance journalist who was extensively covered political and cultural developments in afghanistan welcome everyone to this string you know ali i will start with you though as a resident i know you're well aware of what i'm about to show but i want to give our audience a look into what life has been like in parts of afghanistan and this is just over

the last few weeks so take a look at my screen here afghanistan life under attack in this is coming to us from our colleagues at al-jazeera dot com a rolling tally of the attacks one hundred eighty four nearly two thousand people killed this is since january twenty sixth team in this calendar here shows just those. and to really highlight what that looks like if this link leads. here these are those attacks in detailed format and scroll down to just over the last couple weeks november twentieth november twenty third and november twenty sixth convoy police officers attacked on its way to a district in western province and then today before show time this news this from the new york times three u.s. soldiers killed by explosion in afghanistan and this was near and does need city how do you make sense of what we've seen recently. it's obviously a scare tactic so the idea is that these groups whether it be tall or ball and

whether it be diet so for instance what the clip that showed the tack on the prophet muhammad's birthday it specifically shows what they're trying to do and what they're trying to do is to say that no one is safe not at any time not at any place and not for any event and as we've seen it's not only a tax rate so so we have attacks on major cities kabul jalalabad in the east but we've also seen districts and provinces nearly fall or fall to the taliban in the past few months so still these are major major issues because essentially what they're doing is showing their might and showing people that now wherever you go you're not see that that whatever you're trying to do you can be targeted you can be attacked it's not one group of people or another group of people or one city or one province or one district it's spread out throughout the country all kinds of people and you know just last month i was in greece in the morea refugee camps and

you know there i saw on refugees in abysmal conditions in greece on the island of lesbos you know who were fleeing this exact kind of violence and who. is in in geneva right now and one of the issues that they should be talking about is this idea of afghan refugees and then being deported from the e.u. and turkey being deported back to a war zone you know we've seen attacks on the entrance to the airport where these people will be coming in from. and it's awful thank you for sharing that snippet of a life for so many and afghanistan you're hearing what he said there in that the idea of these attacks is to show that no one is safe would you agree with that assessment. i think i think. entire communities are under attack.

terrorists are attacking those who are civilians they just go after everyone we just saw as you mentioned. you showed the pictures we back there was an attack on the holy prophet muhammad but. it was. a sunni. all in ma. gathering the same. couple in. where the other communities of afghans are getting so there's a feeling that everyone has been attacked in afghanistan. and i think the terrorists and insurgents are going after. a very late. strategy. which. was just part of i think their strategy to tell the world that they can target everyone and to tell. they are going after

everyone and of course showing the government. but i think we are not at a point to say that you know we are defeated. or we have to lose hope that there is a future for afghanistan while there are a number of attacks at the same time there is life going on there there is a vibrant community. in different parts of the country who are just. trying to do better life. across the. here's the reality and also the hope and what you're saying there and so i want to bring attention to our community who is weighing. and here this is a tweet we got from someone. asylum seekers and they write please cover the humanitarian crisis unfolding in afghanistan where the taliban have seized control of the safe is districts killing hundreds and forcing thousands of men women and

children to flee these are the districts that had remained a safe haven for the past decade so i want to give this to you because we're seeing from people online who are saying that yes this is including this violence is including everyone including those who are in areas that are relatively thought as safe i want to share with you a video comment from someone whose family is in one of those areas and this is what she told the stream about the. brutal massacre of her son was in school and we heard from families who friends that had been in the jury province they described the situation as horrifying were introduced trying to run for their life in every direction. into the mountains and amongst those fleeing was also my grandmother soon we lost contact because the two communication towers were destroyed by the taliban after days of uncertainty about the safety of my grandmother who only discovered that she was safe to a new displaced people. who find that she was. use

of living in her village but sure enough she mentions people running barefoot in the winter she showed a picture of the woman she mentioned her grandmother there in this with hash tag the hoary under a tree attack and you can see the picture of her there to talk to us about what we are seeing in these areas that were relatively safe. so now the situation in afghanistan has you see it it's not just the areas that we know the areas that are under the taliban control but now in areas that are also safe havens i mean they were not attacked before they were saved people were living their life but now the problem here is the other one keep denying the fact that they have their attack in these areas quoting to them it's someone else attacking syrians now it's a very complicated one that we cannot really gauge who is who even when it comes to our troops we cannot say whether these are the taliban or it's eisel fighters it's

just a vague complicated very fluid situation we cannot really confirm who is attacking who i mean it's an overall situation and it's on right now where some people say are the districts are in the taliban what others say i still fighting in those areas and then i saw in the other one of my other so it's like a complete but what's what's the sad reality is our suffering she shared a picture of her grandma and. looking at her age is very you know i don't know i think it's just a dire situation for everyone where there seems like all these bizarre hours are now being targeted so. the overall situation i think it just does not limit to. why they've been attacking a certain group or a certain community or certain say it's an overall situation in the country right now. is this. follows up on that video coming in this tweet she says central has

our districts under the attack of the taliban are an iron wall between democracy and extremism and they hold the fragile democracy in afghanistan more than buffer zones they have been the most fertile grounds for democracy that what do you make of shock with a comment there. well actually. they can say that the terrorism reached every place and. every corner of afghanistan has been effected by terrorism. this has darley there is a pressure on who is a part project leader is a or is a buck so we have a month miserable and different army of afghanistan so not only has our every tribe has been effected by terms. i see you nodding your head there i think this is something that people forget because. i think about a month or two ago i actually brought a story for al-jazeera about

a neighborhood in west kabul which is predominantly and she of being targeted. by forces claiming to be diet and at the same time we saw the city of jalalabad one of the biggest cities in the country in the east predominantly pashtoon area that was just as targeted you know and for weeks for attacks including on a midwife training center so i think what we have to understand is that this conflict encompasses the whole country everyone is being targeted everyone is falling victim to it and i think the world sort of needs to wake up because so much of the world is here whether it's through international aid organizations or whether their soldiers are here at one point so much of the world is here you know they're all meeting in geneva but the reality is no one is paying attention.
