a series of scandals protests and confusion in bolivia the country waits for presidential election results but government is accused of manipulating the outcome and for drugs companies reach a multi $1000000.00 settlement for their role in fueling the u.s. opioid epidemic. so protesters in lebanon are standing their ground despite the government approving sweeping economic reforms prime minister saddle hariri announced the measures to diffuse the biggest demonstrations in years against the nation's leaders the activists are not going anywhere until the entire cabinet steps down this report is from zanuck order in beirut the all of the people have spoken calls go beyond fighting corruption they want accountability and early elections and they say they aren't leaving the streets until that happens protests are growing by the day the

lebanese government however is refusing to step aside instead it is offering a plan that is supposed to fix the economic crisis without hitting the public with more taxes modest. mccarthy the cabinet approved the 2020 budget with a deficit of 0.6 percent with no new taxes the salaries of top officials including legislators and members of parliament will be cut in half as part of the economic reform package the central bank and the banking sector will help in reducing the deficit by about 3400000000 are the decisions that we have taken might not fulfill your demands but they fulfill what i have been calling for i will not allow anyone to scare you and it's the government's duty to protect your peaceful demands. too little too late the proposed reforms are not enough to calm the anger people have no faith. they are right they have no faith and no one the government of.

prime minister the president the fundamental people have no faith in the world. even if they think that they were going to do the floors positive for so i would begin to believe that. the way forward according to the protesters involves the government resigning a transitional council made up of judges who don't have political affiliations taking over until elections and those elections will be held under a new law whereby lebanon will become one single constituency and sects will no longer just elect their own sectarian leaders. come to demands the governing alliance has already rejected the protesters are up against those in power who won't hesitate to use it but there is hope they don't know what's going to become whole with the transition is going to happen or are we going to fall with. luggage it doesn't need to go to a position of the sun does not this is the be the people. who are. we all going to

be able to do it or who she was a supporter for many here it's a new beginning. those who are taking part in this protest movement say it is a rejection of the political. they have been in power for decades exploiting the sectarian system of government at the expense of building a strong state that state resources to maintain support in their community now some of their supporters have risen up against that the 1st and the serious challenge. the path for political change in lebanon has now been drawn but the road ahead won't be easy i think the most important thing is the sense of liberation would be achieved so funny live in a different city this is. the this room to feel and believe to be protected and the be mobilized to the not and if the lebanese the want to live together i think that's. beyond the. crowds this size protesting for this long young old rich

poor muslim christian and without backing from political parties has not happened in lebanon so recent history a revolution seems to have already happened but the crisis is far from over. beirut . the thoughts now all of us who we spoke to an adjunct professor at george washington university's elliott school of international affairs he told us the situation in lebanon is unprecedented and so won't be solved by tried and tested techniques what we have today is a crisis of governance in lebanon the people who are in the streets in their hundreds of thousands just are unwilling to listen for whatever the officials on the platform are going to offer. their sense is that there's been plenty of time for the officials to time and again deliver on past promises and they fail one of the more interesting things that's happening with unprecedented really in lebanon is that each of the communities are taking on the established political powers in

that very community people are very aware that they don't want this to be a sunni versus shia or a muslim versus christian so we have revolts within revolts in various communities of people trying to overthrow the political order that they feel has done them wrong. to other news on a deadline for kurdish led forces in northern syria to leave the areas along the border with turkey expires later on tuesday turkey wants to establish a safe zone there and says it will resume its offensive against kodesh fighters if they don't leave any more u.s. president or trump is defended his decision to withdraw some troops from northern syria he says he never agreed to protect syrian kurds forever well that he has not what can be how. they fought and died for years alongside united states forces in the effort to defeat eisel but u.s. president donald trump is defending his decision to withdraw u.s.

troops from northeastern syria allowing turkey to attack the kurdish fighters but we help the kurds and we never gave the courage and commitment that we'd stay for their good 400 years of protest that they've been fighting with the turks for 300 years of people no. and nobody ever committed gee if you do this we're going to do that we're going to stay with you forever nobody ever said that trump has faced bipartisan criticism in the u.s. congress about the troop pullout and his decision to drop turkey sanctions as part of the cease fire agreement that expires on tuesday. and despite anger at home and abroad trump maintains the ceasefire is holding even as turkey's president wretch of type of heir to one is vowing to continue his military campaign the white house has promised to lift sanctions placed on turkey as part of its cease fire deal but trump isn't ruling out more in the future we have

a power that nobody thought we had to the extent to call sanctions it's called tariffs altera of the hell of it their product coming here they said tremendous amounts of steel to the united states and other things trump also maintains his goal is to keep a 2016 campaign promise to bring troops back to the united states as defense secretary who is in the region traveling to saudi arabia late monday says some troops may remain in syria to secure oil fields well others continue fighting against eisel in iraq the purpose of those forces a purpose of those forces working with the s.d.f. is to deny access to those oil fields by isis and others who may benefit from their revenues it could be earned given the tenuous nature of the cease fire agreement with turkey democratic leaders in the u.s. congress are promising to introduce their own bipartisan sanctions against turkey to reverse what they say is a humanitarian disaster unleashed in syria by president trump kimberly help at

al-jazeera the white house meanwhile the u.s. secretary of state has given an interview indicating washington is prepared to take military action in the region if required. where we see american interest at stake or fundamental norms around the world that need to be enforced will use all the powers that we have you suggest that the economic powers that we've used will certainly use them or use our diplomatic powers as well those are our preference we prefer peace to war but in the event that kinetic action or military action is needed you should know the present trump is fully prepared to undertake that action and the turkish president says the military offensive in syria is not a land grab type criticized his allies for not supporting what he calls a fight against terrorists. we have passed our offensive in northern parts of syria for 120 hours that's why this is in a crucial time those 120 hours or nearly over tomorrow i will travel to sochi to

meet russian president vladimir putin for talks and after that we will take the necessary steps now as you mentioned before there are american troops who are staying in northeast syria they are there to protect oil fields those facilities are mostly east of the euphrates river in deir ez-zor near the syrian border with iraq areas controlled by u.s. and kurdish forces before the war in 2000 live in syria was actually producing 400000 barrels of oil a day 32nd in the world that and gas production made up about a 3rd of its export earnings and a 5th of the whole state revenue but as i still took control of eastern oil fields the u.s. treasury estimate of the group made up to $500000000.00 from. you assert your defense is a continued presence will stop myself from regaining those or oil revenues has learn. but now who is a professor of energy policy at the doha institute for graduate studies he explains

the significance of the u.s. keeping its troops in syria. in the middle east the main revenue of moscow of nantes is oil or gas and very often the countries which have oil have also gas and in syria like in other country as oil plays. even if syria is a small exporter of oil it can play a role in what we've seen but it plays an even greater role when president trump is withdrawing a few 100 troops from syria but sending a few thousands to saudi arabia so that say's that to me and to many analysts the troops are following the oil money quick look at what's coming up for you on this news hour israel's prime minister fails to form a government again we will see what that means for the country also chile's president orders another overnight curfew is violent protests show no sign of letting up. and in sports football is in colombia threaten to go on strike despite

facing the threat of contracts being born or. the latest on canada's elections now with the polling stations are now closed so far the ruling liberal party is in the lead trudeau's liberals facing strong competition though from the main opposition conservatives that by and for sheer triggers campaign has been rocked by several scandals including old photos emerging of him in black face an update from daniel lak now in toronto getting late in the evening and now daniel bring us up to date. welcome ali we're hearing from the t.v. networks here that we're probably going to have a liberal government once this vote counting is over it's quite a good bold prediction at this point and they're not saying whether would be a majority or a minority probably the latter the liberals started the evening fairly strongly in

the east of the country winning fewer seats than they did in the past election in 2015 but enough to call it a convincing victory in eastern canada they're busy now counting votes across most of the rest of the country and the liberals seem to be holding on to their own at least in the 2 largest provinces ontario and quebec there has been a surge for a quebec separatist movement in quebec seen mostly as a protest vote here against the 2 mainstream parties i think it's safe to say the conservative party led by the rookie leader andrew shear is somewhat disappointed at least so far tonight it still could tighten up though as we head across the west of canada where people tend to be more conservative party supporting and on the west coast there's a big knot of votes around the city of vancouver that tend to swing back and forth between $12.00 or 3 of the major parties in the country still a little early to be confident if your liberal prime minister justin trudeau but with the t.v. network saying a liberal government of some sort i think there's

a big sigh of relief over liberal circles at the moment yeah just quickly dan and this is more a bit of housekeeping but you talk about the spread right across the country it is a very large country so when would you get or expect to get more definitive results once everything is coming. i think in the next couple of hours we'll be able to say with more certainty what kind of government it's going to be and confirm that yes indeed it is as predicted led by the incumbent prime minister justin trudeau the reason being that we've got just so many votes to count from so many really large constituencies and some of them are still quite close specially across the 2 largest provinces ontario and quebec not a lot of votes are coming in just yet but enough to give a firm indication just to be safe just to be sure we really need to get more votes in before we can actually call with certainty that candidate has re-elected a liberal government ok we'll get an update from you again later on down your lack in toronto and now and also on sky we've got political analyst michael brown secu

he is joining us too well i mean you would have heard what daniel said there it all seems to be a little bit not quite anticlimactic but the liberals holding on and that is kind of indicative of the whole campaign isn't it wasn't a big fiery campaign with a big central issue or anything like that. you know well actually what's happening right now is a surprise to all of us because i think all of the problem right now the liberal society is sort of leading or like it at a 142 that does pretty much. rather often than already government if they get 170 and they're trending that way you're going to have a majority government about 5 really i think all of the friction now i think what happened here is your correspondent well is that i think a lot of voters went into the voting booth undecided. these fearing conservative cause probably fearing what the n.d.p.

will they went with a safer bet and went for a liberal despite even all of those scandals you mentioned in your introduction with i think people who are willing to forgive him for about a vote for the paper bags. for the polls were pointing to everything being actually quite close like the way it is turning out as you saying you're waiting to see whether it'll be minority or majority but you'll saying it's more of a surprise. because you know what was happening especially into back if you had the emergence of the floppy the cloth and a 3rd party finding out that you know that the horse suffers. the same thing that was was the boat if it starts more flooding across the country and then you then either minority liberal government or whatever the conservative government now would have to go in coalition with a smaller party now it's $138.00 and again $874.00 or 8 liberals are within striking distance so would that mean that they're going to be able to go ahead with their programs far more funding for middle class childcare that sort of

thing they've got a pipeline to complete from bridge for modest to get. that 5 water so with with a majority they'll be able to probably get off and what about trudeau himself i think throughout the rest of the world he has a slight when they have a bit of a halo around him a lot of people sort of a drawn to me as the sort of. he's got the good looks he's got the personality and all these sorts of things but i i feel it's not quite the same for canadians and clearly if if there's less of a majority in this election than that that says that out. you're right i think it's not the same are true i mean your graduate if we don't that's really the tarnish i think katie is what i'm not not a celebrity prime minister you want someone here whole to roll up its sleeves and solve a lot with a lot of economic problems and also i think even his star is fading overseas with all this publicity about the plot it's about disasters some state visit to india

about letting his attorney general or her debts it's a lot a lot of there are all of those things but they get their knickers little excited but i think they're going to start not now may you want to reshuffle because of your circle is the better advice or better optics for him but very very different from where we were and 150 cent claim all right michael both of you thank you for your time do appreciate it but for now but it is electoral board is finally updated its provisional vote count but there are growing concerns about the validity of the presidential results 95 percent been counted and president evo morales appears to have a 10 percent lead over his main rival connell's messa a man who has accused morales of manipulating the results but spoke to john homan in the pas now john well 1st of all tell us about where you are and what's going on there. yeah we're implausible livia where

just a short time ago you can probably see she there's quite a lot of riot police on this side there were opposition supporters a stump i'm still here and government supporters on the other side of the process trying to sort of head off against each other and these riot police just creating a barrier between them quite a lot of tear gas going around quite a lot of stones as well starting to move now to plaza morio which is where the presidential palace is where president ever more or less might be at some point we're hearing ready to sort of announce he's trying now let me tell you a little bit why the people are unhappy here especially opposition supporters the rapid folk who is completely frozen for nearly 24 hours after going to 83 percent in which you see not there was going to be a runoff between president morales and the 2nd place candidate who's carlos messer and then suddenly after 24 hours of being frozen it started moving again and it

went from a 2 horse race into being a situation in president were ollie's and he needed just. less than half of the percentage to be the outright winner in this round so a lot of questions are being asked about why that 24 hour frozen and then wide when it opened up again to president right is suddenly have enough of a lead to win in this round or that's what i want to ask you what is the formula is it you need to be x. number of votes ahead or you need to hit a certain number. yeah exactly that you have to be more than 40 points get more than 40 percent of the vote and be twitter 10 percent ahead of your rival and at the moment president morales is 9 point something ahead of carlos messer with more than 95 percent of the vote counted so it's definitely swinging very much in his direction after that 24 hour gap we have been talking to analysts day in and they said this is very strange it's something

that hasn't happened in past elections that that rock account has just been pools and pools for so long usually the results just trickle in throughout election night so this is something unusual that's happened this time around. ok thank you for that update john holmes out on the streets of there in bolivia. president is promising to meet opposition leaders to create what he calls a new social contract sebastian pinera is trying to appeal to the protesters who defied a military curfew for a 3rd night united nations is now calling for an independent and an investigation after 11 people were killed in the rising over the weekend to raise about has our report from santiago. no violence chant this protestors on the streets of santiago. it's the 8th day of protest in chile and people continue to take to the streets to demand reforms. just like we don't know how to administer the

wolf with problems in education and health and everything. protests are going around the country the government has declared a state of emergency and has deployed the military. we're at war against an enemy powerful implacable the does not respect anything but he's words did not go unnoticed among protesters here. present they were dumping you just spoke about being a poor and this is something that has angered people here even more because it means that the government is not listening to their demands rosemary is a professor and since she needs change we sing the. star these tried to put what are we worried. we were only trying to money money for the state of said what are your brothers that. exactly is

30 years ago we have to. dictatorship. when we want. our attention we don't have such as you can review and we don't have that. even though the protests began because of a race in the subway fare they have asked. elated to show the discontent among the population who police of police abuse have increased in recent days united nations have called for an independent investigation into their disturbing allegations of excessive use of force by security forces they're also calling for dialogue regarding the state of emergency decreed by the government the united nations system in chile recalls that its provisions must be applied in strict compliance with the rule of law and international human rights standards to which chile has adhered to the united nations also calls are all sectors of chilean society to

reduce tensions reject all acts of violence and seek peaceful solutions to this challenge facing the country of chile is considered to be south america's most prosperous country the recent protests show the profound problems that still need to be resolved. and. israel's prime minister has failed to form a government for the 2nd time this year benjamin netanyahu says he tried to form a broad coalition but was unable to secure support for a parliamentary majority so president reagan rivlin is now expected to ask netanyahu is centrist rival benny gantz to put together a coalition but he'll get $28.00 days to do so and if he fails israel could likely face its 3rd general election since april here is hard for support more from west or isn't. well after the end of the last of a series of jewish holy days and on his 70th birthday benjamin netanyahu admitted defeat in his efforts to try to form a coalition government he laid the blame for that squarely at the feet of the head

of the opposition blue and white party benny gantz saying that he and his colleagues had rejected all of his efforts to try to form a unity government indeed they have rejected those efforts they say because they are unwilling to sit even in a rotational arrangement as prime minister with a man who as netanyahu is is facing indictments in 3 separate corruption cases than young is accusing benny gantz of wanting to form a minority government with support from the outside from the 10 members of the joint list the mainly palestinian israeli parties who have committed their support to benny gantz as a prop attentional prime minister the head of that joint list grouping has accused netanyahu of inciting against arabs again and he says that he hopes that will be the last time he does so as prime minister now the israeli president riven rivlin has indicated that he will give the mandate to benny gantz potentially on tuesday he would then have a 28 day period in which to try to form

a government but his prospects either of forming a minority government or indeed of a unity government with could with the could potentially jetted status inning was prime as prime minister in their leader they both look extremely unlikely prospect so he may well fail as well if that happens then the mandate would go to the knesset as a whole potentially with anyone from the knesset any member of the knesset who was able to muster enough support potentially trying to form a government him or herself but that too is exceptionally unlikely and that period could well coincide with the attorney general's final decision on whether to indict nessun yahoo or not in these 3 corruption cases if there is no government formed after all of this the netanyahu could stay in office until a 3rd election in less than a year that would be potentially in march next year but there may well be a legal challenge as to whether a prime minister could continue to sit in office while being indicted and so it does seem that there is a very turbulent bumpy few weeks and months ahead in israeli politics. and the news

ahead tens of thousands of people in sudan or back on the streets will look at what's brought them out their. face book reveals new attempts by russia and iran to meddle in next year's u.s. presidential election and in sports roger federer looks to play in his tennis title at home passing yet another career milestone. hello the rain appears to be returning to china coming up for debate and platter this arc of cloud which just to cool very much looks like is going to generate something quite substantial rain or snow depending on your height above sea level without rain is flooding well into the heart of china it's not going to come to the

east coast is not going to affect hong kong or shanghai to any significant degree but where it does sit that nice potentially i don't usually quite wet for the time of the year dropping science and we follow the line of rain that goes north and south with the sun is heading slowly south it has produced some rain in western java but as you can see that is not typical it's to borneo where the focus is singapore sumatra and sudden thailand and that's going to be remaining the case i think the tuesday and for wednesday you wouldn't rule out showers and so the ways he would java you certainly wouldn't concentrate your forecasting mind on that part of the world and the monsoon though retreating is temporarily good enough that direction you can see more or less what's happening in the bay of bengal the cloud was sort of circulating we might get a real circulation on the other side which brings ring back up through go into maharashtra again. the weather sponsored by catalona is.

the scum of the world of al-jazeera. the best films from across our network of channels under 506 boys and to go to none of them have citizenship fresh perspectives and new insights to challenge and change the way we look at the world . how does the world. on al-jazeera. the latest news as it breaks into this market started peacefully egypt confrontation is taking place for those with details coverage they get will be heading with that 110 meters which is so deep they let me have 15 minutes on the seabed from around the world the remains of jamal may never be found if they still exist yet his legacy lives on.

here on the news on here at al-jazeera and these are the top stories protesters in lebanon say economic reforms approved by the government are not enough many want the entire cabinet to step down prime minister saad hariri and all the measures on monday in an attempt to diffuse the country's biggest demonstrations and he is president defended his decision to withdraw u.s. troops to northern syria that is where i'm kurds been fighting against kurdish backed fighters. turkey has given the syrian democratic forces them to choose day to leave the area and they can. prime minister justin trudeau is projected to hold

on for a 2nd term in government holding sessions are now closed across the country in what was seen as a tough reelection bid for the prime minister. for major u.s. drug companies have reached a settlement to avoid a federal trial for their role in the opioid crisis they've agreed to pay $260000000.00 to $2.00 counties in the state of ohio setting a precedent for more than 2000 similar cases across the country the full details now with john hendren. the leaders of 2 ohio counties walked out of a courthouse and into a landmark settlement in the united states' opioid epidemic we are the poster child has seen thousands of people die and the last several months and the last several years scuse me and and it's a tragedy in summit county was no different this settlement with 4 companies is worth $260000000.00 critics call that pennies on the dollar but ohio's summit in cuyahoga county has called it money they need to cope with the crisis now people

are dying now we have to deal with these issues now so the fact that we were able to get the money in a short time frame is very helpful and that's one of the motivations for settling this the deal settles claims against distributors amerisource bergen cardinal health and mckesson and the israeli opioid manufacture. in a statement the distributor said while the company strongly dispute the allegations made by the 2 counties they believe settling the bell-wether trial is an important stepping stone to achieving a global resolution and delivering meaningful relief to have a declined to comment the pharmacy company walgreens boots alliance did not reach a settlement saying in a statement that the company never manufactured the drugs nor sold them to so-called pill mills the partial settlement by 2 ohio counties came at 1 am cleveland time hours before the start of the 1st federal trial of drug makers and distributors that trial combined thousands of cases brought by local communities

across the u.s. against companies blamed for the opioid crisis that has led 240-0000 overdose deaths over 2 decades the settlement with the ohio counties could serve as a benchmark for a larger $48000000000.00 settlement with the drug companies that would end the federal prosecution entirely the question local communities are asking is is that enough money is there enough money to fix this problem. this is going to take a society effort the companies do. not admit wrongdoing but communities in the suit say they overprescribed and deceptively advertised the drugs and failed to flag unusually high numbers of prescriptions settlement money will be used for treatment and alternatives to prosecution for those addicted to opioids at the cleveland courthouse the federal case moves forward as drug makers and distributors negotiate to come to a settlement that is expected to be the biggest opioid settlement ever john hendren al-jazeera. the thoughts of william solomon who is the chairman and c.e.o.

at the accreditation council for medical affairs in philadelphia he told us there is still a lot more that needs to be done to combat the opioid crisis. i think really this is a wake up call to a lot of the pharmacy oh is that the old way of doing things needs an overhaul and we need to look really at the process that brought us here to begin with the old way of doing things really is that every company has its own way of training and preparing people for going out and educating doctors and that needs to change we need to have a standardized uniform way where everyone that's going out and educating physicians educating health care providers has to meet a minimum standard criteria number one number 2 we need to make sure that if you do something wrong that your company you're a bad actor you're involved in something unethical that that information is collected in some type of central database that prohibits you from doing it in

another company we had a situation like that with with a company known as insist there are puter where you had a district sales manager who was involved in a kickback scheme with a physician at his prior company did the same thing and insist got fired that the same thing at the other company that is to stop you think about lawyers doctors if they do anything that's unethical what happens there de bar they lose their license right to prevent them from doing that again we don't have anything like that in place today in the pharmaceutical industry so we need to really look at this and say to ourselves how can we prevent another opioid crisis in the future something different this is to me just the tip of the iceberg we need to change the british prime minister's push to have a straight yes or no vote on his break that deal in parliament has been blocked the speaker of the house and the vote was too similar to one held on saturday and so we can go ahead the next chance to vote we choose today this decision though a blow to boris johnson who's adamant the u.k. will leave the just 10 days he's already been forced to ask for another delay

here's a real challenge with more from london. this has many twists and turns as we see over the days and weeks and months and years since this started and but this is going to be a very very crucial and perhaps decisive week for brakes it because this withdrawal agreement bill is basically the nuts and bolts of how britain comes out of the european union and what opposition parties want to do is to perhaps try and amend that withdrawal agreement bill as it goes through the house of commons perhaps attaching an amendment that means that the u.k. stays inside the customs union perhaps attaching an amendment that says that it has to be put back to the people in a 2nd referendum or perhaps voting it down entirely now of course the government is going to be fighting that the government wants this thing to pass through as quickly as possible it wants to get this through parliament by the end of the week

now most m.p.'s many m.p.'s are going to be saying whoa whoa that's way too fast this is an incredibly important bit of constitutional legislation one of the most important constitutional changes to the u.k. in living memory and it needs more time to get that nailed down but of course the government is still thinking that it can get out of the e.u. by the 31st of october and it is going to try everything it can can do to make that happen well abortion has officially been to criminalized in northern ireland then same sex marriage is to become legal that legislation went into effect in midnight local time protesters from both sides of the debates gathered at the northern irish parliament hours before that legalisation was to take effect the also passed by m.p.'s in london though as local parliament in belfast has not been sitting for almost 18 months that was when a power sharing government collapsed. i think but like we're happy that is happens

but maybe not so happy that it doesn't come from our government. but i think it's a victory nonetheless own july the 24th it was not change the british government the westminster government the force and legislation it wasn't the storm of government and who we elect it on our own and peace for us for westminster and post any change in the law so this is on democratic and it's wrong so it's important that we're here today to be a voice for the most vulnerable unborn children in our society. the united states is trying to reassure allies in afghanistan that it is committed to finding a political solution to years of fighting despite the fact it's reducing the number of troops in the country defense secretary mark asked for made the comments during his unannounced visit to kabul mohammed has. the presence of american troops in afghanistan has long been a controversial issue on monday secretary of defense mark and the top u.s. general in afghanistan told

a news conference in kabul the pentagon has been quietly reducing its troop numbers over the last year or at least 2000 we've reduced or authorized strength by 2000 here so there's a constant look as a military commander to optimize it for sure and what it's based on is understand the risks to the force risks in the mission and look at it in terms of capabilities esper try to reassure allies by saying the move doesn't mean the u.s. is backing away from its commitment to finding a political solution to decades of war and to go she added political settlement among afghans is the best path to achieving this outcome. until there is accomplished we will continue to pursue an aggressive military campaign against the taliban and terrorist groups that continue to conduct violence against the people of afghanistan also in kabul on monday to meet afghan leaders a u.s. congressional delegation led by house speaker nancy pelosi reducing the number of

foreign troops in afghanistan was the focal point of the recent talks between the u.s. and the taliban but those talks failed after president trump playing the taliban for a surge in violence. and there has been an increase in attacks in recent months mainly from the taliban and isolates groups adding more pressure on local security forces afghans are also waiting to find out who won last month's general election the results have been delayed because of tech. problems both parties to the conflict pro-government and anti government forces are equally responsible for the killing of civilians and people are really tired with the violence and want something different and they know that both the united states and the taliban have failed already and that's why they're looking for another party to come in and actually only be as the feature of afghanistan remains uncertain there's no official
