than 30 million can vote in art's election. in the lead up to this week general, many risk their own safety to attend centers to apply pore a voters registration card. 350,000 afghan soldiers and police will secure the venues right across afghanistan. there are now eight candidates to choose from. the current president, hamid karzai is unable to stand for this election. our chief international correspondent lyse doucet is in kabul. >> reporter: there's been a wave of deadly taliban attacks mostly here in kabul in the days leading up to the poles that are set to take place tomorrow in afghanistan. we understood they would be targeting polling stations and security forces. but today has come this name that two foreign journalists has been shot and one deed. we will report on the mood of

the country in just a moment. first we are joined by the spokesperson for afghanistan's minister of the interior. sidiq, we understand the attack took place in eastern afghanistan close to the pakistan border. what other details are now clear? >> we are working on the details. but it was a very unfortunate incident. the security is very tight. and the guy responsibility for the security of this place might have a wrong conclusion of the place or the person approaching him. we will investigate the unfortunate reason this incident happened. >> you seem to suggest that it wasn't a target killing, it was mistaken identity. >> it could be mistaken identity or bad conclusion or calculation by a police officer who was responsible for the security of that area. he's in custody.

we are going to investigate to find out what went wrong on that particular night. >> we understand the journalists were traveling with a member of the inspect election commission. tell us how they would have looked as they approached. >> the police did not know about the movements of the journalists there. but we are working now on each detail of the on incident. but these two journalists were traveling to that part of the country. we are very sorry for what has happened. but let us investigate to find out reason. >> in that part of the country close to the pakistan border for the security services for the ministry of interior where you work, it's a sensitive part of the country. >> that is one of the areas we are very much concerned. and for the past 24 hours, many of our border police were under attack from taliban on the other side of the border. ther had he of much concern for

us. we have strengthened our measures in particular places. >> not long to go now. less than 24 hours before polling day. massive security preparations. give a sense of what's going on across the country. >> our security plans are well under way. we would like to give assurance to people across the country they should not be afraid by the taliban that they have been assuring the last few days. they have to come out. there should be a visibility of those measures for the afghan people and who would like to show the strength in the streets, everywhere so that can give a sense of confidence for the population to come out tomorrow and vote. and that's the most important for all of us. >> thank you very much for updating us on the breaking news in afghanistan. two foreign journalists have been shot.

one shot dead. we're waiting for more information. all this less than 24 hours to go before the polls open across afghanistan. huge security challenges. but there's no denying the significance of this moment in a country emerging from more than three decades of war. historic time. afghan will choose a successor to hamid karzai. he has been here since fall of 2001. this is a significant year for other reasons too. it comes as foreign troops are starting to pull out. >> this isn't the first time foreign forces left afghanistan. the soviet union used this major road running northeast of kabul to bring their troops home in 1989. the a-76 highway runs very close to bagram air base, which is used by national forces. we will return through the valley of sayed whel through the year to test the mood of this country.

the snow hasn't yet melted on the mountains. but there were all the signs that spring has arrived in this valley. this year the greatest change is political. election posters still plaster the walls here. in rural areas like this many afghans have always had their own guns. some carry them with them. some of his neighbors have also dropped by. these politicians have spent millions of dollars on these elections, this man complains, they don't know how poor we are. >> so in the last two months since we met, you have become even more pessimistic? >> translator: the whole nation issen enthusiastic about these elections because people are tired of war and poverty. we want change but we are not expecting change in our own lives.

our leaders will build palaces and we will suffer. >> the other side of the value aziza has other matters on her mind. she takes no notice as a military aircraft roars overhead. a major u.s. base is at this province. this mother of six children is involved in the local elections. it's a family affair. aziza proudly wears the colors of the afghan flag spent the last few months meeting people in her community. it's left her full of hope. >> translator: i learned that people's awareness is much higher now than it was five years ago. women, young boys and girls, even elders. i didn't expect bothered men would receive me so warmly. i even had calls from farmers who wanted to know about the elections. it made me feel so proud.

>> reporter: but this family also worries about security. gunfire rang out just before we arrived. there was a shooting the day before. in the quiet of the day, kanjur finds solace in afghan poetry. like much of afghanistan, even the most worried and weary still harbor hope that these elections can at least bring peace and prosperity to this land. >> lyse doucet there in afghanistan. so where was the shooting incident involving the two ap journalists? this is eastern afghanistan. the two journalists had been traveling with a convoy of election workers. it's reported that anja died instantly when a man in an afghan police uniform opened fire on their fire. cathy gannon was hit twice but is stable in afghanistan.

both women had spent many years covering the various conflicts in afghanistan. well, let's go to bbc's correspondent david loin. firstly, your reflections on this incident given that you as a bbc correspondent have to travel quite often to areas where you're not sure about security. >> reporter: yes, indeed, nik. on the list of stories one doesn't want to cover is the story about close friends who are killed. i saw anja only a few days ago. always full of life as she was. we were planning to meet up for a drink after the election. i've known cathy 20 years or so. she has been traveling in this region 30 years, in pakistan, probably the most experienced journalists traveling in pakistan. jn anja came here a lot.

it is a difficult and dangerous country to report. it seems they were unlucky. a police officer, according to this account, opened fire on their vehicle when it was stationary in this police convoy. they were doing no more or less than i've done and i will be doing in the days to come. traveling towards polling stations. they were looking at the preparations for this crucial election on saturday. there are some 400,000 troops altogether, mainly afghan troops with international troops, basically on standby now. afghan troops are leading the way. in protecting this election. they're all armed. of course we don't know what happened this morning. but they are all in a fairly nervous mood. traveling around kabul today we were stopped frequently at road junctions by soldiers, police,

members of the afghan intelligence service, checking identification papers, looking into vehicles. because they are desperately worried that the taliban and other insurgents are planning to disrupt this election. all gateways into kabul have been sealed since noon today. they will be sealed until sand. so right the way through saturday and sunday kabul is effect ofly sealed off. of course taliban and other insurgents might well be inside the city. people planning to disrupt the elections here. talking to officials, both afghan and international officials, about how they're going to protect this election, they're really worried that the taliban and other insurgents will carry out the ring of kabul. kabul is obviously the plum target. but there are many other place they might attack. they are particularly looking at logar. i had exclusive access of the most senior commander with the general, the afghan general

commanding troops to the south and east of afghanistan. and they were looking at logar province south of the capital and saying they were at the seeing and hearing intelligence reports that the taliban might be about to attack election targets there. so the country is very much on stand by for an election. whether it's expected to be a very high turnout. >> david, thank you very much indeed. david loin in kabul. . 28 days after the malaysian airliner disappeared the underwater hunt for the mh-370's so-called black box is under way. richard westcott explains the technology now on location to discover where flight mh-370 is and why it disappeared. >> the seabed in that part of the world is like under water alps. 4.5 kilometers deep. 2.5 kilometer high mountains. now, that is the kind of terrain

that hides its secrets. this is what investigators are after. the black box that should solve this puzzle. how to find them. well, this piece of american kit shaped like a stingray will lead the search. it is a towed ping locator. now, they might get lucky but it's a long shot. they will be across an area. there's another on stand by as well. this underwater vehicle swims up and down mapping the sea bed. they won't start using it until they find a piece of the actual plane. so they have the best tools available. but that doesn't mean it will

work. they had the same state-of-the-art technology as five years ago. they went over the wreckage yet heard nothing. the company that helped find that plane told me why. >> afterwards it was discovered both pingers had failed. it is the same situation now where malaysian 370 where you have no information where the the wreckage could be on the ocean body and malaysian air 370 is in an area 20 times the size we were dealing with air france 447. >> reporter: other details have changed recently that throws new light on what happened here in the cockpit moments before the aircraft turned off course. we were told the final word to air traffic control were all right, good night. pilots told me that was too

casual. they were suspicious. maybe it was a clue something was wrong. weeks later and seemingly out of the blue the malaysian suddenly changed the final words to good night, malaysian 370. a normal sign-off suggesting nothing was amis. if they don't find floating wreckage soon they may never find this aircraft. >> stay with us on "bbc world news". a turkish court overturns a ban on youtube a day after the government was forced to unblock twitter. we debate the implications.

you're with "bbc world news" with me nik gowing. i have the latest headlines. press photographer anja

neidinghaus has been shot dead in afghanistan. this as afghans prepare to vote on saturday to replace hamid karzai. security is intense right across the country. a court in turkey has overturned a blanket ban on the video sharing website youtube. it comes a day after the government was forced unblock twitter. i'm joined by bbc turkish service. this shows the tension between the court and the political leaders. >> yes. it is true. over the last couple of months what we have seen in turkey is a i conflict between the legislation and the executive.

>> what is the constitutional court saying about youtube? that it's legal? >> it is a local court that took the decision now. we are expecting that the ban will be lifted. it is worth to note that the reason why youtube was banned, it comes after a leak of a recording that appears to be a key security meeting between the high ranked security officials in which most foreign minister as well. what he has done is said twitter was related to privacy concern but youtube was a national interest, national security measure. >> here we are two weeks after twitter was banned in advance of the elections by the prime minister. what there appears to be a is a clear move accepting this is

part of social dialogue, twitter and youtube. >> it is true. because all the leaks comes from accounts which are shaping the public opinion. all the discussions are around those leaks. >> is this a defeat for the prime minister even though he did well in the elections. many found a way around to get around prohibitions. it appears a gap between the connection and the executive bodies. even if it's not a defeat, what we see it is a way of political dialogue ahead of the presidential elections that are coming in a couple months's time. >> all right. bbc's turkish was, thank you

very much indeed. two important developments in turkey. breaking news on the michael schumacher, formula 1 driver who has been in a coma after a skiing accident the end of december in france. a spokeswoman said in a statement he now has moments of consciousness and awakens. he was seriously injured in that ski accident in france. let's move on with business. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> forced out of his position over opposition to same-sex marriage. he gave money against same-sex

well, major tim peake, join me, why is it important to have a name and a competition for it? >> traditionally every european astronaut has had a name. the conclusion of mine is today at 11:00. >> you're a european astronaut. you are not working for nasa. >> a british astronaut. the first with the space agency. we only had one britain who flew in space before, and that was in 1991. >> what about the politics of this? i have to ask you, you've just been in star city with the russians. how complicated given they are joint sponsors of the whole space station operation? >> they haven't influenced by training or the international space station operation. it is business as usual. >> how much are russians integral to the whole operation?

>> every partner is dependent on one another. we have a european, japanese, american and russian laboratory. >> major tim peake on the half of europe just in star city in moscow. more to come here on "bbc world news". stay with me.

i'm nik gowing with "bbc world news". our top stories. pulitzer prize photographer anja neilinghaus shot doead. security has been intensified right across the country. the next stage in looking for any missing airliner to search

under the southern ocean. the challenges of being an artist in the gaza strip. we meet a painter there. well, i'm sorry about this technical problem. it is a defining moment for afghanistan's future. combat troops are well advanced in packing up so all are out of the country by the end of the year. on saturday, afghan's will choose a new president to replace hamid karzai. it has been underlined by the shooting of two respected western journalists working for

the associated press news agency. one photographer anja ne i.d.'inghaus. cathy gannon is stable in hospital. they were e traveling with election observers when it was reported an afghan police officer opened fire on their car. 12 million people out of more than 20 million can vote in the lead-up to this weekend many risked their own safety to attend centers to apply for a voters registration card. 350 afghan soldiers and police will secure the venues across afghanistan. there are eight candidates to choose from. hamid karzai is unable to stand for this election.

the journalists -- let's now go to lyse doucet, chief international correspondent who asked the afghan interior minister. >> security is very tight. and the guys responsible for the security of this place may have had a wrong conclusion -- wrong calculation of the place or the person who was approaching them. but he is in custody. we were going to fully investigate what was the main reason this unfortunately incident happened. >> you seem to suggest that it wasn't a targeted killing, that it was a a case of mistaken identity. >> all the signs show it could have been mistaken identity or mistake -- or bad conclusion or calculation by a police officer who was responsible for the security of that area. but he's in custody.

he's alive. so we are going to investigate to find out what went wrong on that particular moment. >> we understand that the journalists were traveling with a member of the independent election commission. can you tell us more about how they would have looked as they approached? >> unfortunately the police did not know about the movement of the journalists. of course we are working now on each detail of the incident. these two journalists were traveling to that part of the country. we are very sorry for what has happened. let us investigate to find out reason. >> i'm joined by the bbc afghan service. obviously we can concentrate on the death of anja and the shooting of her reporter colleague. more broadly, for the moment, what does it look like the atmosphere is in advance of the voting? >> security is very tight. 400,000 troops have been

deployed across the country to security polling stations and protect potential voters. and 50,000 of them are international forces. and that one interior ministry has employed 30,000 women. so they are expecting some attacks. >> even with 350,000, 400,000 security officials. >> we have seen over the past two weeks. and security officials are trying to block some of the main rooms. there are extra check points.

the taliban have threatened that they will carry out attacks. >> we have to underline what has happened here is only 12 million have registered. and even registering has been a risk. >> it has been a risk. and registration centers have been attacked in the past. out of these 12 million, if of of them come out and vote, this will be seen as a success. because in 2009, the turnout was 35%. if it is 50% this time it will be seen as a huge success. >> that's 50% of 12 million when it could have been 30 million. >> of the ones who can-can vote. >> others have not registered. >> there are more who have registered.

they have been asking people to come and vote. this is what they expect. it will be seen as a success. this is a test on security forces to secure polling stations. because this is the first time in the past 12 years that they are in the lead. they are in charge of security. >> let's move on to the incident in eastern afghanistan. there's anja ne i.d.'inghaus, pulitzer prize winning photographer who has been there for many, many years. she and cathy gannon, were traveling with an election official. and then police opens fire. >> we are getting two reports.

one says it was a deliberate act. a police officer deliberately wanted them -- wanted to target them. and then a report says it was a mistake. we don't know. the interior ministry is investigating. they were in a car and two local journalists in the car. when the car moved from the meeting they had with some officials, then the policemen fired at the car. and they were sitting in the back seat of the car. these are the reports we are getting. it words waziristan where the pakistan taliban headquarters in. they told us the checkpoint at the border were attacked many times. so it is dangerous province. they were in a dangerous location. >> we don't know whether there

was active intent to actually shoot at these two journalists and the election official or whether there was some kind of mistake or surge of kind of passion of some kind. emotions. >> yeah. these are the two possibilities. we have identified the police officer who targeted these two journalist. >> one is definitely a police officer? >> he was a police officer. he was from another province. he was not a local police officer. he was brought from another province. and he has been arrested. he's alive. he's fine. and the police are investigating why did he do that. >> all right. thank you very much indeed. developments before saturday's election and after the shooting of the two ap journalist, one of whom was killed instantly. many have been paying tribute to the award-winning photographer anja who was killed with her

colleague kathy gannon. gone gambre said she was an incredible photographer, colleague who won a 2005. >> very sad to hear anja has been killed. always remember this photo she took in libya. south asia reporter tweeted two beloved veteran correspondents. one has died. it is lear we are all targets. both at the top of their game thoughts with friends in kabul. that the coverage of the killing of one photographer and also the shooting of an ap colleague who

is in okay condition in hospital. well, the bbc's karen allen is in the north of the country where voting cards have been sent for the poll on saturday. >> this is considered one of the safer parts. it is perhaps more famous for its historic shrines and vibrant business community. nonetheless, people are still on high alert. taliban have threatened to disrupt the elections. there have been a number of high profile attacks. six polling stations will be closed for security reasons. but we're told the vast majority across afghanistan will be able to take part in this historic vote. planes like these have been used to bring materials in. they have been asked to help

district 30,000 tons of elections materials to four regional hubs. >> this is where all the election materials are being kept under very, very tight security. these blue boxes contain the ballot materials. these are the ballot papers inside. as you can see, a lot of them are sealed. on each of the election boxes here, there's the province and the district where they are intended to go for. that's why they are up on the truck here. they will district them out to the outlying areas. not just by truck, by bicycle, donkey, any means possible. >> it will continue with our correspondents and led by lyse doucet over the coming hours and days. search teams looking for the

missing malaysian airliner have begun a new phase. the hunt for the black box has begun. they have no confirmation where the box is. it will still help to significantly narrow the under water search. >> you can still search under water even if the locator ceases transmitting. this is where the surface search is so important. because if we find something on the surface, that's going to narrow the search area substantially. instead of searching over an area the size of ireland, we might be able to get into an area which is the size of the metropolitan area of perth, for example. when you come to the use of the underwater devices, that's going to help immensely.

now, bear in mind there are other devices on board. there's an ocean shield. there's a vehicle on ocean shield that can be put down into the water. and it can go around unmanned in very deep water for 24 hours to search the ocean floor. and that sort of equipment has proven to be very, very effective in previous searches. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov has been discussing the situation in ukraine s. russia's former soviet bloc neighbors. he said the main differences in ukraine are internal. it needs to be left alone to deal with the situation now. >> translator: the main differences which are decisive for overcome the crisis are inside ukraine. those differences are the in ability of current key

authorities to respect the rights of all ukrainians, their freedoms and the rights of ethnic minorities using principals of equality. the in ability to show real respect, not just empty words, to all regions without exception. until this is resolved, the christ will not move out. the situation cannot be turned into a political process. we propose there should be real constitutional reform. for that the interference into ukraine's internal affairs should be stopped. but what we see happening is that the west has taken the role of somebody deciding the fate for ukraine. meanwhile, the current authorities in ukraine do not show themselves as very independent. >> still to come, 20 years on from his assignment covering the genocide in rwanda, mark doyle

we had to pretent we weren't rawandan. i owe him my life. if he hadn't been there, would i be here now? i don't know. >> the gutsiness of that doctor there are no limit toss try to describe how gutsy. >> the captain never got his cross. they said he personally saved 600 lives. but there was no one to save him. two months after the genocide started, he was hit by a mortar round. there was shrapnel that had gone through the passenger door. and we know that some of that shrapnel hit the captain's head. there was blood on the seats. there was blood that had

gathered in the foot well as well. and that's how he decide. >> 800,000 paoeplt were killed in the genocide. saving 600 doesn't change that. but the captain saved those lives because simply he thought it was the right thing to do. mark doyle, bbc news, rwanda. and you can see the full story of the captain, including how he used alcohol and cigarettes to buy the lives of some of those he rescued. our world:a good man in rwanda. that's this weekend on "bbc world news". medical teams are trying to determine whether the deadly ebola virus has spread.

i was joined by the bbc's yana who had recently been in guinea and asked whether the ebola is under control there. >> if you look at the figures compared to previous works, it is under control now. but the suspected case in mali is of more concern. that is far from the epicenter. that's of course where it will be. if you look at the figures, 86 dead the numbers are kind of going down in terms of suspected case. because in any case they are saying this is control in those three cities. if it's reaching mali, that's a

big concern there. >> most people who got it, it is fatal. >> yeah. that's the good news. that's some people's recovering from the virus which means under care people can recover from it. but you have to know that people have the virus, which wasn't the case at the beginning. which is why it spread quickly. being a painter on the gaza strip can be particularly challenging. it find it difficult to import the materials he needs because of border restrictions by israel and egypt. it's difficult for him to get permission to export his work and leave the palestinian territory. he is staging his latest show in gaza city.
