this is due to the new news coming to you live from berlin a massive explosion rocks kabul officials there say at least forty people are dead more than one hundred forty others are wounded as we'll get the latest from the afghan capital also coming up the kurds are mobilizing to protest the turkish intervention in syria thousands of members of germany's kurdish community are demonstrating and cologne police have beefed up security fearing clashes with german turks who support the ministry operation.

i know it's on a welcome to the program we begin with breaking news and it's reported that at least forty people have been killed in a major explosion in the afghan capital of kabul the country's interior ministry also saved more than one hundred forty were injured in the attack which happened after a police checkpoint in the city on saturday morning the blast was caused by a car bombing near foreign embassies and government buildings the taliban have claimed responsibility. earlier i spoke to to here to derry in the afghan capital kabul who says that the authorities there often downplayed the extent of the chaos let's have a listen to what he had to say. yes there actually as you say severe has been a really tragic day here in afghanistan in kabul actually it is a serious and the following of

a series of attacks over the last couple of weeks here at least forty people have been confirmed but don't forget that the afghan government normally downplay the number of the casualties the number is far higher than what they are claiming to be more more than one hundred fifty people or one most of them civilians but the attack happened in a very crowded place in the heart of the capital where there lies you know all these government offices and it was closed. and the young couple of other you were in office and also other embassies there it happened at the really bought time because normally afghans at this time of the day they go outside to have a lunch. how are the people in afghanistan coping right now with the situation. will president of afghanistan couple of days ago in an interview say that afghanistan is under siege call is under the so it really is under siege i mean no the only calls on the other provinces are under siege people are really fed up

people are really sad of all what is happening and people are quite concerned about the future as well because nowhere is safe these days i mean now imagine a car full of explosives through. a through a checkpoint a security checkpoint seems that there are those of infiltrates within the security as thick. as well like for example getting back to what happened in the intercontinental so that will go through their evidence example that they have failed in ensuring the security of its citizens. it's not a nice mages event i there there have been many attacks in afghanistan maybe can you tell us why that is. well it is because the afghan government. internal politics what people call politics forgetting that there is a higher a much more important. responsibility that they have got to ensure security on the other hand. is also. also an emergence of the so-called crisis here in afghanistan

too because now most of these attacks. claimed the by the. taliban and on the other hand very. process wise people didn't fly and of course it is true it is very bold very bold over the country even though there are thousands of afghans back in kabul but because as i remind the audience that the afghan government this. internal politics. you know something much more important which is security so that's why we have. been witnessing a series of attacks across the country especially because the so-called all over the last few weeks. that he's in the german city of cologne are preparing for a large protest by kurdish groups and against turkey's ongoing military offensive in northern syria police expect more than fifteen times and which german
