a series of bombings in the eastern city of talbot. and we're hearing that of another explosion, more gunfire in the afghan capital. and stephanie decker is live 1st in cobbles. tiffany: what's happening there now? guys? or that we might have a small issue with her sound at at to stephanie. we'll just check or we can get a baxter if stephanie can hear us stuffing her mit, do you live at so with lauren in the studio and london? no, but i think we have stephanie. will it, sir? let's hear from her a summer binge of aids who reported earlier on earth. the explosion in cobble while it is going to be a big dent in the taliban se claim that this country is seeing an unprecedented piece in security. obviously it has been the case for the last 6 weeks, but this attack in the heart of cobble at an area which was secured by all of that
10:03 pm
olive on fractions here, is going to san shockwave. definitely across of gone to san where people are going to be asking questions about how secure it really is. this is the place where hundreds of people were gathering at not just taliban fighters and supporters, but others as well, who will try to get a glimpse off the thought of on spokesman, who has been avoiding, appearing in public places for a very long time. this was a time to go and meet him in person and give your condolences and our facility went there. we saw that there were multiple tears of, of security. their initial report say, i suggested it could have been a suicide bomb, but it haven't been confirmed by sources on the ground. but it does go through show that how difficult the situation in a got a son is for the taliban to control it. because by and large, they have taken over control of security, but they also released hundreds and hundreds of prisoners as well, which they were criticized for. it is going to be difficult for them to curtail
10:04 pm
this sort of activity where according to tyler bonfire does, it's not i sal or other groups which control and our area in of one sun, but are operating in smaller sleeper cells. angling back has tiffany dickens and stephanie were saying that there's been another explosion and tell us what's happening there now. well, there seems to be some kind of a security seat carried out by the taliban across different areas of the capital. here cobble one taliban stores confirming to us that 3 ice okay fighters and had been killed when they detonated suicide best when they were besieged in a home. and we've seen video of certain areas of heavy exchanges of gunfire. now having said all that to, they're still hasn't been any official claim of responsibility when it comes to that attack. an outside the most fascinating this seems to indicate that the taliban is pretty sure, at least at who was behind that explosion. we did ask the spokes person of the
10:05 pm
taliban a little early before he went to the most for that service. ah, for his mother who passed. how much of a problem i so k was and this is what he had to say. i should glue carpet. i cell is not a visible thing. here they are in hiding. some disturbances have been seen in kabul, angela bad, but they are not present and other places we are paying close attention and we will not let them create an wrist. and our suggestion to them is that they don't instigate fighting inside afghanistan. this is an islamic country. there is an islamic government here. foreign forces have withdrawn from the country. there has been a major jihad done against foreign occupation, so everyone must respect us. and if they don't respect us, they will face a very powerful reaction from african citizens and also our forces. we will filter them out and will destroy the hot outs. waterville. now security is something that the taliban has maintained. it is brought back to afghanistan. everyone really you
10:06 pm
speak, you will agree with the whether that's here in the capital or in the provinces that to they feel safer. but i think this is a significant event. certainly a turning point in the sense of an attack on a senior leadership meeting. were you know, a memorial where they were gathering where security was incredibly tight. it's the message of defiance to the taliban by whoever carried it out, that it can attack them in the heart of the capital, emit tight security. and i think now we're gonna have to wait and see if this is going to be a pattern moving forward. the taliban is now having to govern this country. they've had to move from insurgency mode to governing and, and going to have to now deal with the types of attacks that they used to carry out themselves. stephanie decor, thank you very much indeed. ah, a huge leak of financial documents is exposed. the secret dealings of some of the world's richest people, almost 12000000 files and documents were obtained by the international consortium
10:07 pm
of investigative journalists. and examined by more than 600 journalists from a 117 countries known as the pandora papers. the documents reveal that king of de la, the 2nd of jordan, has built up a property empire worth more than a $100000000.00, including properties and malibu, washington, dc and london and asked her to in the u. k. his lawyers say all properties were bought with personal wealth. as by john's president illema leave, his family and close associates had been involved in property deals in the u. k. worth more than half a $1000000000.00. the f's who've been accused of looting their own country used offshore companies to buy you k property, including a $45000000.00 office block for the presidents, 11 year old son. revelations could prove particularly damaging to the u. k. government to highlighting its failure to establish a register of offshore property owners despite repeatedly promising to do so. it's gonna let him, mike hannah, who's in washington dc. like,
10:08 pm
how embarrassing are these revelations likely to be for king of judah? well, certainly could be very embarrassing. indeed, given the fact that jordan has been suffering through a massive economic depression in recent years, the very years that the king a spent this vast amount of money on the property in the u. k. in the u. s. so certainly there is that aspect of it to this could add to public discontent. at the same time though, his lawyers insist in a letter to the i, c i j that these were personal funds. they were not from jordan or from the family that the companies are registered in the king's name personally, that he was not attempting to evade or avoid tax, because as monarchy does not pay any taxes at all. the lawyers also contend that some of the properties apportion to king abdullah a full sleep time, so he no longer owns those properties nonetheless. so there is going to be some kind of political fallout from this fall that the jordanian king given, as i said,
10:09 pm
the economic situation over the pastor a few years. but also remembering that they are more than city heads of state paths around the world who are accused of similar actions. and here in the united states as well, there's going to be some political fallout with the revelation that some you, as states such as south dakota, had become massive tax havens for international business. people wanting to put their money in offshore accounts. now why this is embarrassing, the biden administration has been absolutely adamant that it's going to clamp down on such activities by us citizens using offshore accounts for either tax evasion or tax avoidance. here you've got a situation where exactly the opposite is happening within a u. s. state and certainly they are going to be questions to the biden administration as to how this can happen when at the same time it is pledging to eradicate such activities. my can, i thank you very much indeed. or
10:10 pm
a challenge has more now on this from the european leaders mentioned in the papers . pandora papers are essentially reinforcing what we already knew, which is that london property is a very convenient, buoyant way for some of the world's most rich and wealthy and powerful people to park. what can often be dodgy, cash, one kind of example, not necessarily of all of us, but of some of it is tony and sure re blair, tony blabbing the forward, british prime minister. what they did, it seems is to use a, an offshore company in the british virgin islands, to help them by a multi 1000000 pound prophecy in london. and avoid paying thousands of dollars worth hundreds of thousands of dollars worth in property tax. now, is this illegal? no, it's not because it's tax avoidance, which is perhaps morally questionable, but legally it's ok. and many, many other european figures are going to be coming out of these documents in the
10:11 pm
days and weeks to come to who are already left to the 4. 1 of whom is president zelinski of ukraine. who in his campaign to become president, is very critical of his full runner, petra parish, jenko, an oligarchy who is an answer, he said, was corrupt, and was squirrel in cash or overseas? well, it seems that zalinski has been doing something not completely dissimilar together with a group of associates on his, his tv comedy days. it looks like he was participating in an offshore scheme which allowed him to not declare some of his assets prime minister on refurbish of the czech republic who is actually up for reelection later this week. it seems he used a very convoluted offshore steam to help with the purchase of a multi 1000000000 dollar property in the south of france. will that hurt his re election? chances go have to wait and see that for elections coming out later this week. will
10:12 pm
it's given is a senior reporter for the group behind the release of the documents. one of the names that jumped out to us all immediately the report is looking through the state was the king of jordan abdullah. the 2nd that's on one hand, because we found his passport, literally in these documents, but also the she in number of shell companies and secret property purchases that we were able to establish these. her properties worth over more than $100000000.00 that show companies connected to the king have purchased over the years, including many multi $1000000.00 properties in a very fancy neighborhood in california that were purchased out during or after the arab spring revelations. there's no indication or suggestion in our reporting that this is indeed a legal, but i think we have certainly asked the king, why were these purchases made through show companies? why has none of this been disclosed publicly? and what if any connection do these purchases have to the state of jordan?
10:13 pm
i'm an experts we speak to say that it will be terribly embarrassing for a king who prides himself on a reputation as a modernist and an ally of the west. and i would say other names that jumped out at me were obviously the president of kenya, who literally appears as a 2nd beneficiary of a secret foundation in panama. again, this is a precedent to, for many years. and even a few years ago, sat down with her a, b, b, c interview and said, if any one has something to tell us that we haven't been transparent about, let them tell us. and i suppose today with the pandora papers were doing just that . libya's coast guard has intercepted a boat carrying about $500.00 refugees and migrants to europe and has returned them to libyan shores. another vessel rescued, 65 people travelling from libya on a wooden boat on saturday. in recent days, libyan security forces have detained thousands of migrants during raids at the un says one person was killed and at least 15 others injured in the crackdown

10:15 pm
beefing up, you know, the coastal security of libyan coast guard are, they should be focusing on investment in the countries of origin for these migrants . now these migrants are leaving, you know, extreme poverty famine war to come here to risk a very dangerous and treacherous journey to libya. and yet another journey across the mediterranean, very perilous and dangerous journey. so experts will say that the european union and, and, and the international community should be focusing on investing in, in, in creating jobs and opportunities for these people in these countries of origin. so they won't risk. are these, these long and treacherous journey still to come this half hour? ah, 1000 demand channels here show their support to the president, suspension of parliament police arrest 2 of his prominent critics. and warnings attempts could soon run drive to 3 quarters of lebanon's population.
