12:00 am
to see about what will happen with the economy, with their income and their life with detailed coverage. so career is hoping china with considerable influence over north korea to bring it back to the negotiating table from around the world. has the law is being accused of trying to expand around the influence here? ah, this is al jazeera ah. hello, i'm lauren taylor. this is the al jazeera news, our live from london coming up. at least 13 people are killed in an explosion outside a cobble mosque during a memorial service for a taliban, spokesman's mother, the king of jordan, and president of azerbaijan, a named in
12:01 am
a huge league of documents, exposing the secret wealth of well leaders. ah as thousands around to nicea show their support for the president, suspension of parliament, police arrest 2 of his permanent critics and spain vows to rebuild la palmer as the islands, volcanic eruptions intensify. 2 weeks after they began adding sport ramage, at least for the 2nd time in a week, plus a fantastic satellite. go from liverpool mohammed salads. but it wasn't enough. the way as mans is the city come back twice to draw. he will begin in afghanistan, where it needs 13 people have been killed in an explosion and the capital cobble. the bombing targeted, the entrance of the 2nd largest mosque in the city, a memorial service was being held there for the mother of taliban spokesman. debbie,
12:02 am
who am which i heed. hours later there was another explosion and gung far as security sweeps were carried out in the city. targeting the group i saw in afghanistan, i saw have been job aid has more from couple what he's were brought to nearby hospitals after sunday's attack in the afghan capital. oh my for the money. i don't know the exact place. i heard a loud sound. all the people were running away nowadays, a situation in afghanistan is very bad. i hope god will help us. right now, always are close. and we are waiting here and we don't know when they will help and the way we were about to leave it was supposed to be a memorial at the city 2nd largest mosque. a chance where the people in cobbled to meet the viola mcgraw had the thought of ons, deputy, information minister, and offer condolences for his mother's death. hundreds of taliban supporters and edith had gathered to pay their respects. multiple tears of security were set up, but couldn't prevent the attack. gobble has seen unprecedented safety and security
12:03 am
in the last few weeks. the checkpoints gone an unrestricted movement in the streets . minutes before which i had been to the memorial service, he spoke to hel dedira about the threat from iceland have gone to stun thy shed, though caterpillar 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 a suggestion to them is that they don't instigate fighting inside afghanistan or this. this is an islam at 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 every one must respect us. and if they don't respect us, they will face a very powerful reaction from afghan citizens and also our forces. we will filter them out and will destroy the hot outs, but destroying small groups with one nor do i sell fighters is easier said than done. although no one has claimed responsibility analysts see patterns with similar
12:04 am
attacks which have been taking place in east, in the plan to sun as low. so for example, i saw for a few years back, there were downgraded a lot by the efforts of one security forces. the forms to go to 1st appointment, excel, but over the past years or so it has research, has a witness. we have, it has a resurgence of their activities. so it continues poses a threat and one can say that a 3rd of slang to her sample as has been largely under estimated sources of told, are there a number of people were arrested after the attack. i live on fighters have been carrying out raids in search of i from fighters. in the last few weeks, dozens have been arrested in connection with the tax and cobble, and bombs targeting fall upon. fight is angela bob. if security deteriorates, it would further complicate a fragile ada effort for millions of of guns. enter c is increasingly worried ab, that predominantly,
12:05 am
we are worried about their impact of the upcoming winter. and it is very cold in afghanistan, and their needs are mounting with the challenge as we see with lack of physical cash and banks being closed. we don't have access to our bank accounts and they have reason to be concerned. in addition, the nurse don't seem to be able to translate their pledges into actual grounds. the new taliban government has promised its citizen, security and safety and vowed that complicated affairs such as governance and education will be thought of later. but if an attack can take place despite heavy security in the heart of the capital, that dream of a peaceful, secure life under father bon, may remain just that farmer job with other. there are a couple as me to imagine sharma he be who's a former us counterterrorism adviser and founder of rise to piece an organization that focuses on preventing extremism around the world. he joins us via skype from
12:06 am
washington, d. c. thanks very much for it for being with us. so on this, this latest mosque attack a, is it likely to be iceland, afghanistan behind it? well, i says hasn't claimed the responsibility for attack. it wouldn't surprise if to do what we see in the last. i would say 10 days since september 18th, ice is, has committed about $25.00 attacks and none gerhardt province in to empire $1.00 and $2.00. in kabul. a we see the attack of the abbey gate in cobble airport and then attack earlier. it was similar attack to the one by the central mosque in of honest on today that happen. and within hours there was another explosion in the northern outside of cobble. so these chains of attacks that good are connecting the dots that it could be isis. so by the haven't claimed responsibility, we also look into a resistant force vanished on be, have been, although in punch here and there in the mountains. so it's, it's, it's really hard to see if they have committed a r d that tax or yet or not. but it's most likely to be eisen and i'm the
12:07 am
timelines main boast when they came into power that they were bringing back security. how big a threat to, to them is the, is a kind of a resurgence of if it is indeed to iceland, afghanistan. how important is that as a threat to the taliban? at a's a tall, a bon, do not want ices attacks resistant force attacks. any types of attacks, so ticket proof to the world that he can maintain of worn stone. here is the problem. tom bon took off warner uneasily, but maintaining power is hard. we're talking about between 14 to 20 to 2 terrorist groups operating of want to spawn different political leaders, the resistance forces. so it's going to be a challenge that tall bon wants to secure and bring security. but that is going to be a challenge or would the whole economic crisis and as humanitarian crisis happening in i've won a storm on, on top of that, the world unwillingness or silence off on a storm to where that recognize the tall barn on. yeah, on, on the issue of family, you know, what the international community does about it?
12:08 am
i mean, they, they, they left all the americans pulled out of afghanistan, saying they've kind of done what they want to do. and it was the no longer threat. internationally, if, if groups this can start to operate there, could they become a threat? a beyond afghanistan? yes, they will. we see ice ice gain of on a sunday. so for us on the toner, bon commitment to catalyzed with carla has not been proved yet. a general milly, mackenzie, and sift of state austin d, all called tal of on a terrorist organization of the same time. does say there is no evidence that a tall one to cut ties little kite. i think so we talk about al qaeda. we talk him and i says, and at the same time what the u. s. and international community has. what for the u . s. is over the horizon counterterrorism operation, which i do want to track monitor war i and target. so that's going to be hard if the world recognize upon upon how the u. s. will conduct over the horizon
12:09 am
counterterrorism a missions. i think it's, it's a serious threat for the world, especially for the united states. not knowing what's happening and i've won austin without any until yet, or not that i mean by didn't after the attack on couple efforts at times said due to isis k as he called him. we're not done with you yet. but the town of i know already complaining about the americans continue to use drones over the territory. how actively can the u. s. pursue i so i left kind of on a would have to call it if they haven't got it or said not allowed, essentially to use the drains, which are busy. they can use menu even if they're not allowed to, but you see what i'm getting at? yes, so what will the last 3 administration wanted to build a strong institution of honest on one that could portion of the u. s. in combining terrorism. so right now the all are on the and the offers on the table for the u. s . govern for bite administration. if the tom bon could be a partner in combating terrorism. so it's a tall, a bon for spec human rights if the tone upon a cut ties what i'll tie it out. that's a possibility that work with the united states to combat terrorism. particularly
12:10 am
die for us on, but that is the, the possibility of that is really less at given to the tone of bon hatred with the u. s. and dear unwillingness or failures to implement the agreement that was signed last year to hock a. tar. so it's really hard. oh, but we're looking at the over a horizon counterterrorism. but what needs to be done eas, for the world, especially for the not a states to work with the actors in, in the region. and making sure to eliminate the sale of terrorism enough on a stone we cannot in the world, cannot afford another $911.00 style attack without intelligence, without any pressure and stays small chairs am, i'm a channel he be thank you very much indeed for joining us. thank you for having a huge leak of financial documents as exposed the secret dealing as of some of the world's richest people. almost 12000000 files and documents were obtained by the international consortium of investigative journalists and examined by more than 600
12:11 am
journalists from a 117 countries known as the pandora papers. the documents reveal that king abdullah, the 2nd of jordan as built up a property empire worth more than a $100000000.00, including properties in malibu, washington, d. c. london, and ask at in the u. k. his lawyers say all properties were bought with personal wealth. as a by johns president in m l e f. his family and close associates have been involved in property deals in the u. k. worth more than half a $1000000000.00. the f su been accused of looting their own country used offshore companies to buy you k property, including a $45000000.00 office block for the president's 11 year old son of the revelations could prove particularly damaging to the u. k. government highlighting its failure to establish a register of offshore property owners despite repeatedly promising to do so. so if its given is a senior reporter for the group behind the release of the documents on of the names
12:12 am
that jumped out to us all. immediately the reporters 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 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 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? 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
12:13 am
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, interviewer, 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 a pandora papers were doing just that or a challenge has more on the european leaders mentioned in the papers. the 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,
12:14 am
it seems is to use a, an offshore company. and 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 days and weeks to come to you already left to the for one of whom is president zelinski of ukraine. who in his campaign to become president, very critical of his full runner, petrol jenko, an oligarchy who zalinski said, was corrupt and was squirrel in cash overseas? well, it seems that zalinski has been doing something not completely dissimilar together with a group of associates for on his his tv comedy days. it looks like he was participating
12:15 am
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? that's the way you see that sir elections coming out later this week. i sent more that'll this with my ira martini. she's a research and policy expert on corruption. money flows at transparency international, joins us live from berlin by sky. thanks for being with us. so many governments, and i've talked in the past about the importance of new corporations and wealthy people, paying their fair share of taxes. yet it seems that many of these leaders have been doing the opposite of that. what would you make the, the kind of scale of revelations we've seen here? yeah, thanks a lot for having me. and let's just me start by congress relating to journalists
12:16 am
who are come this revelations, because once again, we have to rely on them and their brain and brilliant work to, to shed light on the potential abuse of the financial system. to put a little bit in context, not so we're talking about 330 politicians from 90 countries who are seeking secrecy with the help of flyers accountants and bankers. and how they were seeking secrecy by opening anonymous companies in different jurisdictions where their names and the real owners of this companies were not disclose and very often not even recorded bio. and i think what is very concerning is that, as you said, many of those are the ones in position of power. so we're talking about presidents, we're talking about prime ministers. we're talking about ministers in central being governors. who actually are the ones who should, may be making the decisions and taking actions to tackle the flow of 32 by but
12:17 am
they're actually the ones abusing the rest of the system and benefiting from the current status quo. right. so that's why just really, really concerning with this revelation. i suppose what one thing that people would say in the defense is that it's not technically illegal to set up a benefit from an offshore company. but i suppose it allows for kind of climate where people can hide things and therefore people do people who are been hiding things or evading tax, specifically can get away with it what, what do you think needs to happen to change that? so we, we think that 3 main things didn't to happen and i think does revelations to they make those very clear. they were ready very clear with the panama papers backing in 2016. but i think number one, what needs to happen is that it shouldn't be possible to hide before behind unless it was companies anymore. so we need to make sure that when someone incorporated the company or create the chest,
12:18 am
they need to provide information about the real natural individuals who control and benefit from this company. and this information needs to be checked by authorities, right, to make sure that no one is trying the game to system and. and then you need to make this information available to everyone. every seats and journalists, the police should be able to check, ah, the owner of a company that is operating in their neighborhood or in their country. and then the 2nd thing that needs to change is, and, and this is clear with, with revelations, is that the networks that support criminals, so cream knows and the cropped, they're not really operating alone. they have a networks of lawyers, accountants, in corporate service providers that needs to, they need to be regulated. they need to conduct checks on their clients. they need to know the source of funds of their clients. and they shouldn't be allowed to borrow their names as company directors and shareholders without the consequences.
12:19 am
and this is why do we, we have seen an important financial sanchez, also in the middle of this story like the u. s. or switzerland. you still don't have such rules in place. and the 3rd thing that needs to change is that this people need to be held accountable. we need to see investigations and we need to see sanctions, not only to this 300 politicians that are named in those, sorry, as if there are found to be involved in rounding, but also to this professionals. the lawyers, the accountants, the bankers, were helping them to, to remain anonymous and to move money across borders that end up in lecture re, properties in the u. k. in the u. s. and bank accounts in dubai in switzerland and so on. my aaron martinez, thank you very much indeed for 2 additional 0. thank you. coming up on his knees are from london. some $500.00 refugees and migrants are intercepted off libya after thousands are detained in raids. presidential arguments lead to
12:20 am
a major diplomatic rift. algeria closes at das face to french military flights and a shock defeat for leaders past year and they eventually, gemma will have the best reaction from sundays games. ah, thousands of people in june as you have been rallying in support of the president k . sad demonstrate to say they back, his pledge to change the political system, but the opposition has accused him of carrying out a qu. i suspending parliament in july and announcing plans to rule by decree. and on sunday police arrested an m p and a t. v presenter have been prominent critics of the president bernard smith reports from the capital t unit 2 months on from the 2000000 president's decision to suspend parliament and sack, the prime minister. his supporters don't think he's gone far enough. thousands of people gathered in tunis and other towns and cities to show their support the case
12:21 am
side. we don't have, we want to deliver a word to tunisian president guy said no, going back now and to prosecute all those who have committed crimes against the people. that is the 1st and main demand to prosecute. all those who done wrong doing most of the protesters carried banners attacking the another party. it's the largest in parliament and has been the most critical of the president's power. grab me, there is no way a low excuse for abaca dictatorship or making a cool. if the people are not happy with us, then they are more than free to go to other elections and not to elect us. so we cannot give an any excuse, or legitimize any coo or any illegal actions. then either party says the recent appointment of natural, a burden as prime minister and any government she forms can only be legitimate if it is endorsed by parliament. but like i said, this is ruling by the creek and the movie,
12:22 am
so the president doesn't communicate easily and he's surrounded by people who don't have a political background. anyone with political experience is not in the presidential circle. if he won't consult those with political experience, the future remains and clear. fortunate since the president says his decision to seize power on july 25th was necessary to prevent you nicea collapse and it seemed to have popular support. but his failure so far to offer a way out of the crisis is strengthening the opposition to him and of uncle with the french president. chi said told emmanuel micron that a government will be formed in the coming days and what he called a national dialogue would follow. genesis treasury is running out of money to pay salaries and meet loan repayment. it urgently needs a government to negotiate and international baylor, bernard smith, alger 0, jonas, libya's coast guard is intercepted a boat carrying about 500 refugees and migrants to europe and has returned them to
12:23 am
libyan shores. another vessel rescued, 65 people traveling from libya on a wooden boat on saturday. recent days, limited security forces have detained thousands of migrants during raids. the u. n says one person was killed and at least 15 others injured in the crackdown. officials described it as a security campaign against illegal migration and drug trafficking. alec trainer has more from tripoli. i spoke to a senior official in the ministry of interior earlier today, and he told me quite frankly, libya is in a catch 22 situation. there's a lot of pressure from european countries to stop the flow of migrants you are reaching europe. but when they do that, they're put into these detention centers where, where human rights organizations are saying that there's a lot of abuse. that there are overcrowded, that they're not, that they're not safe and abuses occur. so the libyans are really sort of in a, in a, in a very challenging situation. when they bring back these migrants,
12:24 am
aid organizations are, are, are criticizing them. when they do not european countries are putting pressure. there been up there, the libyan coast guard there, beefing up there. there are there coastal security. and when you talk to experts, they say that the europeans aren't really moving in the right way. rather than beefing up, you know, the coastal security of libyan coast guard are, they should be focusing on investment in the countries of origins for these migrants. now these migrants are living, 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 communities 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 these, these long and treacherous journey's he would have rallied in chiles,
12:25 am
