in their forces or not, there is some truth to this statement that they are kind of strained in terms of what they do. they have acted as a centralized network and figuring the horses into vertical r e is not a challenge. but at the same time, it is true that some of these actions are taking place with tell about leadership ability for various reasons. and me, important question is, what can leadership can do and whether they are doing a meeting they had, i think there are concerns as to what they know major example of power by holding their fight as accountable even for instance says we're become public that the public pressure around it. so it is hard to precisely frame the issue because if you understand the issue of somebody, actors who are challenging that i'll be there,

it is going to be helpful and talk about the shading with the wrong thing that you cannot pressure on the you're already working class and i just in the meantime what more can be done to facilitate access and transparency? there is this statement from the national community and then organizations like human rights watch have documented over a 100 summary executions in killings in province is from god's need to to hell, man, to kandahar. so are they getting enough all those organizations getting enough access to be able to monitor what is happening in the country so that he's kind of properly documented? honestly, i don't think so. they've been telling the based on journal local journalism journalists who have acknowledged the network to actually possibly give a reliable information on everything that is not inside the country. they've been

cutting funding to extend support. but also they've been telling just even really bad journalism, there is an unpleasant trends so that local journalism is kind of very much a weekend extremely. and under network of international organizations, you have also pretty much dismantled the presence i called on on most people on the miniature aid and disruptions in their local presence. and the presence, the limited presence there is the needed to call the international human a. so there is a huge information gap in terms of knowing what's going on the country. it will be, report like this are very helpful because they are bringing evidence to these allegations that were out there. and it's very important in this capacity to monitor for the human rights situation. the country actually remains and actually

a built up the us that the committee could do. that one thing they could do is to support the internet, going to get critical coverage for those. busy who act at the same time indicate enough resources for international organizations that they can work with the actors underground, civil rights activists and such to make sure that we actually know what's going on in the country. our thank you very much oppressor of laura university of afghan. it's on how to and he knew for joining us, appreciate it. which had developments in the us now where the foreign presidential candidate bob dole is died at the age of 98, though was a world war to veteran and represented kansas. as a republican senator for 35 years on successfully ran for the white house against bill clinton in 1906. earlier this year it was announced i was receiving treatment for lung cancer, or rob reynolds joins us live from los angeles and tell us about the impact bolt

dull had on american politics and how he's likely to be remembered roll. well certainly he was a housing figure in the republican party for many, many years. i was a very, very junior person in the news business in 1976 in kansas city at the republican national convention when bob dole was chosen by then president gerald ford to be his running mate. and that was what really catapulted dole to national prominence and leadership in the republican party. they didn't when they lost to jimmy carter and walter mondale, but there was a memorable exchange during a debate between dolan mondale, where dole referred to the war, dead of the all of the conflicts the united states have been involved in, in the 20th century as the victims of democrat wars that was somewhat shocking and

mondale responded rather coolly. the senator dole has just richly earned his reputation as a hatchet man, a dole. later on in washington, i had an opportunity to speak to him a number of times. he was a rather gruff figure. of course, by then we all knew that about his back story growing up, dirt poor in depression era, kansas fighting in world war 2, being grievously wounded in a battle in italy. a wound that cost him the use of his right arm for the rest of his life. those experiences certainly shaped bob dole and made him an advocate for the underdog. and he'll also, you know, gave him a certain edge. he was a partisan politician. he was tough, he was a fighter. there was another incident that i recall very clearly when bob dole ran for the republican nomination in 1988. and he was on

a program with the then vice president george h. w bush who had just defeated him in the republican primary in new hampshire. the recorder on that show asked bush, well, what would you have to say to bob dole and which sits of the gland like i wish him well, then it was bob dole's turn and he snapped, stop lying about my record. so that gives you an idea what kind of a person he was, but he was definitely a towering figure. and someone ah, senator and a lawmaker with a rich, a history of, of passing legislation. and the kind of figure that we do not see to day, frankly, in washington, dc, in of the nations, lawmakers. i'll thank you very much, rob reynolds reporting to us from a sanjay on that story. thank you. rob. in an interview broadcasts on iranian television, present abraham racy, has urged the last to lift sanctions in auto finance. i talked to proceed. comments

follow the latest round of discussions in vienna, aimed at reviving the historic pact. washington is accused to her on of not being serious about negotiations. yet one saw your daddy well, we say things from the beginning. one is to neutralize the sanctions and then to lift the sanction. they would think that we were not going to take part in that because we have nothing to say. but the world was convinced that iran actually did participate very actively. and with those already when it comes to j. c. p o, a quarter when it comes to the lifting of sanctions, we were pursuing it. and we want to make sure the 2 things happened and violence is broken out to rally for far right. friendship presidential candidate, erickson murray. some people who joined a peaceful protest against him, lar sneak into his riley scuffles and broke out with his supporters and chairs. the weapons, the political pundit declared his candidacy a few days ago. some commentators who can sit in front this version of donald trump

believe that he could be more popular than marina pan. but recently his support has dwindled a bit. it's actually butler was at demonstrations earlier in paris. approach working in person are demonstrating against eric the more he's holding his 1st presidential campaign. riley on the outskirts of the capital now is a well known television puns it and really to hear from us. but he has no political experience, but he's 3 me, famous in france, record traversal, inflammatory, fall right opinions there. it's a more is mc migration, his anti islamic talk in the post about supporting muslims. he's also upset many in the jewish community by saying that the regime of world war 2 here and problems the collaborated with the not the should be glorified. he also has many opinions when it comes to women, he sees their role as in the home as child bears. he says that biologically

incapable of being leaders. and what people here say is eric more is a threat to democracy, a threat to from his institution. well, a month or so back the more was doing rather well according to the opinion polls full suggested that he could be to the far right political party lead to marine the pen to reach the 2nd round runoff against the french president, emanuel micron. but in recent weeks, his ratings do seem to slip mainly due to a number of personal gas. you made an obscene gesture at a protester in the southern city of mount say, he had a very poor performance. it was widely perceived in a high profile television interview, but already that the conservative right wing part if not picked very candidate for this presidential race. and that is also going to have an effect on eric moore because she is trying to appeal to the same sort of voters that he is. and the

french left his presidential candidate on shore, has also held his 1st major writing in paris. speaking to a crowd of the forces he called for resistance to the rising popularity of far i ideal a g. and i'm sure contested the 2017 election but was knocked out in the 1st round based election campaigning on social inclusivity, special education, and lowering the retirement age will be probably don't need you. we are here to give the country back courage as it's of merge and the darkness of the debate in which some one to one against the other on issues of religion or the color of skin . and we have to say, once again, that no problem is not right. for drums is about social security. public hill, emancipation, education research center community. now, several 1000 people have rallied in brussels against new coven related restrictions

and its value to afghanistan given its current economic plight, has never been more important. for saffron producers, the turmoil of the taliban takeover has caused disruption for the shipping and banking services they need for exports. but they say at least there isn't the same corruption. they faced under the old government and african meconium. problems of the banking system are a big issue for businesses, but i think we face list bureaucratic interference. and in the long term, i'm optimistic about the future as get extracting the precious filaments from the flowers, processing the individual threads to remove impurities, then sorting them into different grades requires painstaking attention. it's a role traditionally carried out by women. while men do the work in the fields, despite concerns the taliban,

my tried to stop women from working produce as we spoke, to say there's been no problems so far and that's good for the wider social significance of this spice. for in the last couple of decades, it's been promoted as an alternative to growing poppies for the opium trade. a trend helped by saffron's rising international price. and of course, there will be some interest from the other problem has been about. they see that the price is really high. of course there is a debt bring also the honda, the contribution of the flooring. yeah. the thought from as a lucrative alternative to puppy production, sat from cultivation was encouraged across afghan is done by the previous administration. it stands as one of its more successful legacies, but the vast majority of the country, saffron and the best quality spice still originates from the fields of had us. it's been recognized by international awards as among the best in the world,
