boston. i was busy doing construction work at home. as soon as the praying started, we heard the explosion. i went to look for my relatives at the mosque and all i saw were bodies on the floor. our present moment stephanie deca in cobble and that sir admission or that claim of responsibility, i guess doesn't come as too much of a surprise at stephanie no, i think i the taliban. most people are expecting it to be isis k. they of course is you said also claimed responsibility for the mosque attack here and couple last sunday and before there was a claim of responsibility for myself. okay. you're ready had the taliban launching in operation in northern areas of cobble against ab cells of the group. so i think they'd certainly seemed to have a clear message that these kinds of attacks are linked to the group. as you mentioned, that has been increase in the spate of attack. so that has been claimed by ice ice . okay. in the last couple of weeks, it started particularly angela,

bad in the east of the country. then of course, that significant attack hair and cobble against what was a gathering of high level leaders of the taliban at a mosque. and now a really devastating attack over 60 people killed when a suicide bomber from mice. ok, manage to enter a mosque of the she out minority group the has are as and dad to nate himself. so it's presenting major security problems for the taliban. come out. they are downplaying it somewhat there are saying that they have it under control that they are launching raids. they have arrested people over the last couple of weeks. picky also here in cobble als is saying that they've killed various members of the group . but i think we're starting to see somewhat perhaps of a pattern of course when the taliban came to power as well here in the last 2 months or so. they released a lot of people including isolate fighters and on chi to members from prison. many of those just seemed to disappear into thin air. so i think, you know, there is a concern now that the group is regrouping, i think by estimates of those who follow it. and they don't say that they have

massive numbers. but of course, you know, times a changing the taliban is now no longer what we've quoted insurgency group. they now have to run a country. some people will tell you that with time perhaps, you know, there's right recruitment for the taliban fighters who believe to continue their fight to move over. so i think certainly difficult times ahead when it comes to these kinds of challenges. and i guess, stephanie, this is the real business of running a country now, isn't it for the taliban that the, the way they took over looked incredibly easy. and then it was a case of pointing ministers and people in charge of districts and the like. sure. now all the taliban having to deal with exactly what they've been doing for the last well decades. absolutely it's. it's the kind of attacks that the taliban is used to launch, you know, attacks against minority groups and, you know, i, e, d, 's, all these kinds of things. that's the language that very well versed in. darrow less versed in running a country particular country. when the last of their, of higher was 2 decades ago, come all lic,

afghanistan has changed. the people have changed. the women, for example, farmer educated as the youth farmer connected, globally, far more independent. so this is a very different cancer, particularly and talking about the capital here in cobble. and i think yes, it challenged our 8 or on the country to run the ministry to get this country, which is really at its knees. come all on track, that's going to be very difficult if it doesn't get those millions and millions of dollars that are being held by the international community. because of, you know, it accusing the taliban of not adhering to certain agreements, made in doha, particularly, things like not having women and it's cabinet not allowing girls to go back to school at the moment. those over 12 and all these kinds of issues. but i think now one thing that's about taliban always said that it had it's, it's, it's trump card if you will, was that it could maintain security of this country. it has done that, let say rather you like to taliban or not people. some people will tell you, it's fine that they're here. i just want my daughter to go to school. the situation on the ground is far better, but then they say, but there is less freedom before we had far more attacks. but we had freedom,

whereas now it's far safer on the streets. but we had, you know, more freedom. so this elisha now now you're starting to see these attacks, which again are bringing back a sense of insecurity. stephanie decor reporting from cobble this friday. thank you . stephanie, we'll keep it with afghanistan, the human human rights councils agree to appoint a new special rough or turn to the country. i will be responsible for monitoring human rights following this taliban take of amnesty international. welcome. the decision saying, an independent investigative mechanism will be critical. the organizations accused the taliban of human rights violations, including targeted killings of civilians and blocking of humanitarian aid. on to other news, the nobel peace prize which has been awarded to philippine journalists, maria, reza, and russian. jonas to me to remove it off for their fights to defend freedom of expression. they all representatives of all journalists who stand

when facts are debatable, when you don't have facts, then you can't have truth. and then you can't have trust that any of these things. you don't have a shared reality. you can't have democracy. you certainly can't have any meaningful human engage. deal with the x a central problems we face climate ah, the corona virus. so i think this is what the choice of the committee has shown that we must maintain facts, but the people in charge of maintaining the acts, the people tasks with that are facing, far greater danger than we ever have before. we work on it on 3 fronts, the 1st this to expose to tell people to do the stories that show exactly how insidious manipulation happens. how social media has, has become a behavior modification system. the 2nd is to actually strengthen independent journalism. continue to demand in this case

legislation for the tech and then i just was recently i accepted a co chair for the international fun for public interest media along with the former ceo of the new york times to actually try to help independent media survivors and then the 3rd pillar is community. you talk about trust. well, you can't have trust if the platforms take it. if a virus wise enters the information ecosystem. so the way you do that is you begin to create communities that build resilience and, and we're going to do that by making sure that it is fact based evidence based reasoning that can help take apart the problems we face. and dmitri morris are very dedicated the prize to his colleagues who were killed because of their work. if the premier occupant, of course this awarded for anna pollock of sky eureka kit morrow eager damica of
