when say to really know someone you must walk a mile in their shoes. who in their footsteps that's the fault of their way in the world. shares these personal journey. inspiring stories of people considering on their chosen path. we can use documentaries on our. welcome back here's a reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera u.s. president donald trump has confirmed the leader of i so i will back it up but that is that he was targeted by u.s.

forces during an overnight raid in northwestern syria from says baghdad he detonated a suicide vest after being cornered in a tunnel california's governor has declared a state wide emergency as wildfires and extreme weather conditions force almost 200000 people from their homes almost 1000000 in the northern part of the u.s. state of had their electricity cut off to try and prevent further fi. and tens of thousands of people in lebanon have formed a human chain to demand the resignation of the government protesters joined hands for 170 kilometers across the length of the country to present a unified front. it's going to germany now where support for the far right attorneys have for germany party has surged in elections in the eastern state of 3 an early exit poll. the incumbent far left. still managed to hold on to the top spot with 2929.5 percent but the if he doubled its share securing

turns against the f.t. there aren't any more elections in states where they might prosper for around 18 months the real winner in one sense of this election is the far left dealing capacity it's serving prime minister go to him a little says the result of his party was achieved 1st place is a mandate for him to govern but there's also something to be said about the folding out of the the coalition that he has previously with the red red green with the other parties of his coalition while they will struggle to form a majority for him and one final point to make here is the in this the 30th year since the fall of the berlin wall well now you have a state where the people who are voting have voted for the parties of the political extremes far left and far right an indictment from the voters of the mainstream policies of the grand coalition in berlin between the center left and center right which certainly leaves many questions for people in berlin to try to answer from

cotton on society. give us a little what's it going to be like like the british with their excess of what are we going to separate from poor russia. will it really isn't worth it we meet isn't it together. and the tensions haven't been this high since the illegal referendum in october 27th see both sides now and not backing down from. politicians president charge of that region and the madrid section government reason being because there is a general election on. both sides are very keen. that force neither of them back down. u.k. police say that they will work with their vietnamese counterparts to investigate the identities of 39 people found dead in a truck on wednesday several people in vietnam have reported relatives missing and fear they could have been inside the trailer container discovered east of london

those elections and that is really based on the fact that there was a rescue out to give russia that we showed isolations and that iraq because it was frozen and something like by the time i strike i was later if i do went back into action if she was gone i was right to live without having to go to secular out. of the european union and you would i say should of american states. that puts doubt in the process now you recognize asian american states so there's actually 2 orders that they say that i find think that i think i would have a fight here and so it's governmental and the opposition seemed to feel good that we thought i'd hear from the organization of american states to think ok that you could speak to that since you can't tell i thought it was a little bit stake and when you look at the end of this crisis you believe you know . colombians have been voting in the 1st local election since

for watching but i. join is going. to be unified with the my. bike the consequences one i want to investigate determination to remain independent on al-jazeera. so. so. so. who in this country. certainly didn't want to be this one but i just feel like. both afghanistan and sardar won't

. be. many consider this luxury hotel to be one of the safest spots in kabul but late thursday taliban gunmen stormed the serena who tells restaurant killing 9 people including prominent journalist sardar achmad his wife and 2 children all 4 shot point blank to the head afghan authorities say the 4 gunmen hid guns and ammunition in their shoes to evade security we are still waiting for for all those investigation to take place. where was i go how much is the more you know you cannot go wrong. i wish for a moment. i would but

the list goes from. oh good i'm going to go toward bush with a mob. raising money is money that can become a. boon when you go to shrink post but johnny johnny that of most informative insulated they sure as in they didn't even have bought as the shows. by the vegas i go to more of a hook on the off my clothes were going to be good yes and then you. called me if i was in the washroom if i'm going to fuss because. tony is either one of them. i would be going to a lot of. this is sardar and these are things i got his boss at the f.b.i. let me have a few things from his desk he had this really weird cute love of pine

cones one time he was like hold out your hand so i did any put a pine cone in my hand i think it was this one actually he was really into the free a.j. staff. thing in cairo and we had a day here where we all went to the al jazeera bureau. it sort of missed it and so he came to my office and he had me take a picture of him holding this and it's like now like a widely used photo of him so i don't know i think trying to find out what happened to him is maybe it would bring some closure is that i don't really know what else to do.

there are so many unanswered questions as per usual the taliban claimed responsibility but we think there's more to the story for laura's so he was a well known guy in afghanistan everyone knows him and when deserves it and he deserves that definitely and he deserves that and me a new as is your lists so this is one responsibility we don't have guns on arms to go and fight with at the wrists our pen our camera our newspaper as our own guns so let's fight through duct work. so let us work over this issue to follow that what happened with some of the worst case what happened within the investigation which the afghan security officer how it's been said or not it. actually was others in north korea.

and iran that i don't care and trying to move on past very. very. grave is exact their cities are. and it's you know that word isn't good for reasons all reason to do it it's got us oh boy she's a brilliant writer she runs. all the buttons. and here i'm sure you have never been here you know a thing i hate this place. where nightmare happened. to me this is definitely amazing that such a baby hotel with one deep corner see how it's possible a few young tourists can get inside this place everyone gets away with everything here you can go in and attack a hotel and kill people and kill children and nothing happens. so now we're going

to try to get answers from the ministry of interior because obviously they're the ones that were 1st on the scene and should know more about who these people were and what happened and how it all was even allowed to happen with duping what will she wants findings well unfortunately one of the exact findings because we submitted everything the seen on all those proofs and evidence to the end yes because they were responsible for the distribution of these complicated tourist attacks and the 2 warning if you want a place like cyrano with more of the mighty courts can be counterfeited how did it how is that possible to do other than there was a question there were security personnel who were in the city in the company you were personally with everyone or they were already in place to get the government

doesn't hold just remarkable doesn't seem to keep going on they have their conference is people still so it's just they say ok yes we've got a new security company and then that they're allowed to continue paying. the story is the government would not be able to cover that when insider was killed some of the guys were saying courtney john this is afghanistan as if that makes it ok you know her and i think there is never except to just because you have suffered attacks every year isn't that they continue that this never ever k but the world should know that to be. here to price and it's not ok you shouldn't have been should have because it. had the right to have you know like really is a feather people around the world. joy robert they are covered in a lot of it because most of those phone with us on this were called the. focus not on them because of course around most of the money. most was how to cover the

ground moment touched the lives of this absorb the hardest on your jungle the yearning for joy without your who does it without. so i give an example yet it would be great like like what well my personal in was your 1st but i love you most of you know well it's good to hear that i stayed up but now you know people dagos for worse but if you want to say i was going to go i don't want to say it's probably the only person telling him he's not ideologically stupid like it is a lot they just became well blows away about it but he's just used to us all how but. talking about my concerns for my family members when something happens 1st then comes the moment i make sure that everybody at home is far and then i go to judges to muddy the waters yet it is true.

that was the worst thing was when we were at the mosque. before the burial here and when the 4 ambulances came. what does the banner say freedom of speech and priest suck the blood of thousands of aware young journalists and since. 5 years old almost 40 years old. thought of our own home.

i think it's a good bye to. war with a guy when they. have it they weren't supposed to then. it will go hard on less. noticeable one them what they really. don't make them in the film i'll just miss i myself was adamant though i mean they got caught i mean can i get. the rest. we thought. not yes. if they like a book out on me or in yours they're going to be in the thick of this they learned the. more they honcho then and then you can have

a mobile homes and then you become could solve the problem british i was sick of them. from some of the prism of them scanning. how much i mean listen. first to. telephone. oh. was the last any good. this was the moment when we 1st was in the. oh well that's the. hope of. playing a play. courtney's on the this is the security footage from the c.c.t.v.

cameras from the night of talk when they go through the. x. ray like they don't all 4 of them must have beeped yeah right and they have didn't stop them didn't this i'm not a security guy when i see such people they're so suspicious yeah i'm going with unusual clothes in such a place. and it happens when they see that you're not for example normal or something strange musky did we were going. to just from the very beginning when they have a body search right until here it shows that no one is also going them that we're going. to just love see here. become a most right that's amazing they were tracking them the whole time and yeah how did they not stop them this is the t.v. cameras didn't want zoom when it's normally somewhere and it does not move around but right now they're tracking these guys.
