5:03 pm
a strong message that there is an issue to deal with the or the taliban taking it very seriously. just 2 days ago, the interior ministry giving a press conference warning about infiltration within taliban ranks and you know, telling its fighters to be vigilant. and also just moving around the capital. today we saw it across the ministries that security has been tightened and there is an increased awareness, certainly of what could be potential, you know, attacks in the future. so, it is a message from iceland now that the taliban is no longer an insurgency group. they have been fighting each other for quite some time, trying to stabilize it now, as it tries to govern. stephanie and other assured us want to talk to you about it is the drone attack, which happened in campbell. this was just as the u. s. was completing its withdrawal. 10 people, i think children that attack mistakenly it would seem in the end and the pentagon is not talking about payouts for the victims. that's a tragic mistake. this said come cold. it had meant 10 people killed her. you
5:04 pm
mentioned some 7 of those children, the u. s. saying initially they believed a car that they had followed this was in the days following that devastating suicide attack on cobble la airport. as people thousands of people were trying to get out of the country as the taliban took over the u. s. assuming that this car was part of an eyesore sal and i still operative. it wasn't, it appear to be a man who worked for us aid agency living with his extended family when he came home later in the afternoon in that vehicle it was targeted and that ended in the killing of 10 men of him and 9 other members of his extended families are now you have the, the, the american saying that they're going to pay compensation. and the specifics of that haven't really been clarified as of yet. we spoke to the family today, and this is a what they had to say. laundry, cargo start the u. s. said they will provide aid and they will compensate us a lot so far. they haven't done any of those. and they said they will take us to the us,
5:05 pm
but they haven't. oh definitely. we are eager to go because we are under security threats every minute and every 2nd of our lives are in danger. and i miss my friends so much. nobody can understand our pain. they have harmed us enormously and have ended our friendship. i even dream of them. so i have to wait and see how in practice that problem is. that pledge is going to actually, you know, reach the family members. they're not the only ones who want to leave the country cabal. you have a thousands and thousands and thousands of people here desperate to leave. not only because they're afraid of the taliban and don't want to live under this rule. but also because the economy is in such a dire situation, there is no money here. a particularly linked to the withholding of millions and millions of dollars of international cash that this country has become hugely dependent upon in the last 2 decades. stephanie decker in cobble, thank you for that. onto the news and protests of the gathering and sedans, capital to demand greater representation. the government was rather been organized
5:06 pm
. find the lines of armed groups and opposition. members, there is growing tension between the civilian, the military leaders, prime minister though, so think divisions and are causing the worst crisis yet in the countries transition to. so if you move about doing, i would not be exaggerating. if i said this political crisis is the worst and most dangerous crisis that threatens the transition and even threatens our entire country and warns of a terrible evil. this is due to the deep splits among civilians and among the military as well as between the civilians and the military. more on this would have been morgan, she's in cotton. they call themselves the forces of freedom and that's the same name of the alliance that met and to government protest against president dominant here, which eventually led all the through by the military. but these people, the group that make up this new f a t, their a splinter from the main f s the, they're mostly on grouping opposition. they say that's because the main medical
5:07 pm
william political parties do not present them and have a clue to the group and other opposition parties from the coalition and from governance. again, this is a joint civilian military government. now when the, our sharing agreement was signed in august 2019, it was said to be 39 month 21 month for the military and civilian component of the car sharing government. now a peace agreement with finding october last year, which reset the clock back again. to the starting point against another 39 months, it was not clear yet what happened was maybe a month where the minister wasn't control to the civilians are expecting that it would be devised equally between the civilians and the military. but there is a division that has been widening since we attempted to last month and between the political parties themselves. say that their base should be expanded to include the u. f. f c faction and others who say that because there are groups because they have already signed the lease agreement, which guarantees mc and the national government, and nationally completed with somebody in some state that there is no need to
5:08 pm
either the base where the security of british and peace is now being reviewed after the killing of a long standing politician. and what police are describing is a terrorist incidents amos with stab to death at a meeting with constituents on friday afternoon. the u. k. home secretary, pretty patel says steps will be taken to prevent such an attack happening again. the measures underway right now. i convince meetings yesterday i've been with the speaker of the house and with the police and security services to make sure that all measures are being put in place for the security of m. p, so that they can carry on with that juicy as elect to democratic members. we also saw the prime minister bars johnson and the leader of the opposition customer visiting the site to pay tribute earlier on saturday. a 25 year old man in custody held on suspicion of murder. after being arrested at the scene. where a challenge is reporting for us from the unseen to the you case. leading
5:09 pm
politicians gave a display of unity at that scene on saturday morning. boris johnson, an kiss tom both came down together. 2 men who are in their day jobs thereon, opposite sides of the divide quest of each other's motives, question each other's integrity. today they put that aside and i think that's a message that is coming loud and clear. from westminster, this has transcended it's overcome those normal divisions that you see in british political life. forest johnson said that david amos is one of the kindest, nicest, most gentle people in politics. and that's the kind of message you're hearing about him from all parties and friends. from old people who knew him, the messages in the tribute sort of being left have a very similar tone to them. essentially saying that he was a kind man and a dedicated public 7 man who was killed essentially doing something that was integrity to his job. he was going out there and he was meeting the public face to
5:10 pm
face that, that the police, the thank this is a terrorist investigation. now it's harry investigation is the metropolitan police that is looking after the investigation. the early investigation, they say, has revealed a potential my situation, links to islamic extremism, but that's as far as that goes with that at the moment. if politicians, if m p 's author carry on meeting the public face to face, it's an activity that is so crucial to their jobs. it's crucial to how they operate as public servants, but it makes them vulnerable. we also spoke to matthew goodwin, professor of politics at university of kent. this is the link between politicians and the people really as vital david, i use himself was a great believer in a british democracy in the historic link between the voice of the citizen on, on the one hand and the politician on the other, i think to be frank,
5:11 pm
he is the last person who would want to see that link become much weaker or even blocked. so i'm, i don't think there's a case to day for ah, using security to shanta m p. 's from their constituents. but i think there is a very good discussion about how can we put some measures in place just to give em he's greater security both at home and in their constituency offices. for example, having a police member, a member, the police of is present when they are conducting those meetings. let's look at some covert news. new zealand government has held a one off nationwide vaccination day, trying to get as many people immunized against over time as possible. the country had been loaded for it's handling of the pandemic, but the vaccine roll it's been slow and he's in now struggling to contain an outbreak of the delta variance when he has the support. oh,
