consulate so they could travel to to judge allow about now local tells us that yesterday there were some rumors spreading on social media that the pakistani consulate today would hand out more visas the usual and caused a lot more people that would normally gather outside that stadium to. go and try to go out and get inside so as a result when they gates open to from what locals tell us there were thousands of people will try to rush in as fast as they can as they could and that's what caused the deadly suck stampede and adriana why are so many people so desperate to get a visa to pakistan. well adrian pakistan is one of only if a handful of countries where afghans can get a visa and travel to the afghan passport continues to rank as the worst in the world for international travel so afghans have pretty much trapped here so i mean

chance they have to get out of here for many reasons for example of pakistan a lot of them they have family there there is a lot of afghan refugees families that are separated and a lot of them also have to travel to pakistan for medical reasons because of galveston has one of the worst health care systems in the world and that's why there are so many of them trying to make it to pakistan and you do get the same sense outside the pakistani embassy here in kabul where every morning hundreds of afghans gather a lot of them are sick a lot of them have to spend the night there just so that they can make it in the next morning and try to get a visa for pakistan a process that has become a lot stricter on harter in the last couple of years adrian video contre for reporting live there from kabul for you many thanks indeed in northern afghanistan 7000 security forces have been killed another 5 injured in that attack by the taliban it happened in the taco province which borders to the taliban has intensified attacks across the country in the last few weeks as peace talks with

come protesters. their demands among others include far reaching reforms of the police and the prosecution of officers accused of extrajudicial killings torture and disappearances not care is going through things we have been protest in we have not had any reasonable results which is what we want out why are we to come and address it not by what you know is all wrong as your conduct legwork and why not really listening to when does what is going to. be occurring every day so yeah yeah i voice i don't buy that i don't want to and i say it's wrong well yes i believe these well i'm going to yell. and said you know make us on lining up behind some of the protesters demands i will not sign off on a 2021 budget that does not include adequate full visions to compensate those who have suffered violence and brutality of the hands of the police in nigeria in the

which are. nationwide protests place in sudan as the economy the but the government says it has managed to pay $350000000.00 to the united states in order to be removed from its list of states that sponsor terrorism i was there as malcolm webb reports. it was on this street 22 years ago that i was driving to work it was just outside the american embassy here in kenya's capital nairobi then it was attacked 1st with grenades and then a truck bomb that's where the huge blast went from bad be. good. douglas was one of thousands who suffered horrific injuries like him many had their faces cut and lost their eyesight because of flying shards of glass now there's a memorial part of the american embassy one of the names of the people who were

killed or engraved in stone in. the embassy building was at the front it was damaged in the attack but the building behind with completely destroyed with many people inside most of those who were injured or killed in the attack with kenyan who just happened to be nearby at the time the u.s. embassy in neighboring tanzania was bombed at the same time. claimed responsibility for both attacks the u.s. accused sudanese president omar al bashir of supporting the group and enabling the attacks. saddam was already on america's list of state sponsors of terror since 1993 bashir was eventually overthrown following popular protests last year sudan's new government desperately needs reprieve from american economic sanctions its negotiated terms for its removal from the terror list with us president donald trump the agreement includes compensation for employees of the

u.s. government who were killed and injured in the attacks by all. but nothing for people like. he was working in a bank across the road from the nairobi embassy when it was bombed he says he was lucky to survive a shrapnel wound in his neck he chairs an association of hundreds of others who were injured many of them so severely they could never work again if. this is seen to a given that people like. so now it would be leave. the country then that is the wrong really are we human being american why is it that the american president can go on negotiate with people under don't want all both picked up by the moment douglas and ali has spent the last 20 years campaigning for compensation under the new agreement between the governments of the u.s.

and sudan no closer to getting it malcolm webb al-jazeera nairobi kenya the u.s. seen nearly 300000 more people die this year than it usually words the centers for disease control and prevention says that at least truth. because of the coronavirus it says the black and hispanic americans have been disporting disproportionately affected by the covert 19 related deaths are likely higher the official numbers. cathay pacific is cutting nearly a quarter of its workforce nearly 6000 employees will lose their jobs mostly a hong kong where the airline is based the company will also close down its regional airline carriers incomes have been decimated by travel bans and border closures because of the pandemic the u.s. justice department is taking legal action against google the lawsuit is being described as the most significant challenge to the tech giants power in decades

google is accused of using its market power to maintain a monopoly of a smaller rivals the complaint says that google pays billions of dollars to phone manufacturers and browsers to work keep it as the fault search engine the company says the suit is deeply flawed larry magid is c.e.o. and co-founder of connect safely dot org a nonprofit organization focusing on online privacy and security he believes that google will put up a strong defense. i think one argument that they might make is to go back to 2000 i'm sorry go back to 1998 when microsoft with on the hot seat for very similar charges and i remember specifically bill gates speaking of congress saying you know some other company could come along and unseat us and indeed that very year a to graduate students from stanford were in a garage here in palo alto building google which actually did overshadow microsoft when it came to the internet so i suspect that's the argument they'll make and i

suspect the common argument will be made that that google controls the entire android platform it dominate search and that it promotes its own products and it makes it difficult for other companies to compete either with search or with internet advertising there's a lot of both a legal and a political war going on between washington silicon valley but this is a very specific lawsuit issued by the justice department claiming google is exercising monopoly power over search and over internet advertising so there is probably by far part of his support for this battle i mean the trump administration that has their gripes against google but so do democrats so i suspect this will be vigorously prosecuted and even if joe biden were to win the election i wouldn't be surprised if his justice department continued the suit. a weather update next here on our 0 then muslim organizations in france are targeted after a teacher was beheaded the showing cartoons of the prophet mohammed.

through space about 320000000 kilometers away from earth its mission is to scoop up rubble that scientists hope will help us better understand the solar system alex o'brien reports i'm going to. step down declared a major success for a mission he is in the making of. the spacecraft dubbed osiris ricks is about the size of a van it's been circling the asteroid since 2018 getting ready to make its precarious landing oh my god we're there for hawks that was amazing i mean i don't know if you saw the team here but they just kind of blew up there went from being severely odd to like celebrating the super bowl it's a pretty amazing technological feat and all of this was done by this probe by itself you know it's it's it's far too far away to be controlled in real time by its handlers yonder osiris rex chose a flat spot and nightingale crisis to touchdown surrounded by boulders as big as
