soldiers after suicide bombers and gunmen attacked a military academy also called islamic state has claimed responsibility for the attack part of a wave of violence this month including a powerful car bomb where the talabani used an ambulance as a weapon. there is no escaping the military presence on the streets of kabul for the third time within days attack is have killed victims in the afghan capital this time the target was the army itself militants including suicide bomber has stormed a battalion near the marshall fahey minute trick catch me and began an onslaught afghans are turning their fury on the government that you know is not a modest look at what's happening to this nation and you're not able to control the current situation it's better that the security ministers resign what's kind of government at ministry is this you're not even able to secure the city you're going
6:03 pm
to go to. the afghan defense ministry says two gunmen were killed in the exchange of fire and two others died off to detonating vest suicide vests one other was arrested now people want to know how the attacks keep happening in a city already on to tighten security measures. all right and then we can take your to kabul now of where the security situation has been very precarious for some time now but the uptick in violence over the past couple of days is very concerning a journalist to hear contrary is on the line from the capital with the latest tara what is the situation in kabul right now. well the situation in call everyone is in shock and everyone is terry all right and horrified of the recent terrorist attacks because it was in the attack the only attack today we have had a couple of attack over the last few days in fact three attacks over the last ten days in kabul and hardly more than two hundred people killed so people are still in
6:04 pm
or even though the afghan government in a declared a public holiday today because the indonesian president was coming to afghanistan is in afghanistan so that's why but it's still people are still thinking until morning about the loss of those of civilians that nobody knows why all right well to hear why is kabul facing such an uptick of attacks right now at this moment what's going on there. well the afghan government elaine that at least more than twenty terrorism groups operate inside the kabul city and the president of afghanistan recently say that kabul is very speedy but the afghan people here don't believe that it's not only kabul but the whole afghanistan is under siege and the problem is that he can come in has recently been so much holding internal politics so therefore god and the deer is you know a priority for them for example three security ministers appeared in a press conference yesterday three of them people who are accused additionally sit
6:05 pm
down as soon as possible but they don't seems like the afghan government as well people here accusing the afghan government of spirits but when the afghan government accuses the regional countries some specific countries or interfering into a kind of here and in the security it is you know a blame game that afghans don't like it here because everyone wants some sort of accountability at this point all right now to hear you're already alluded to the fact that to the indonesian president jacoby doto is visiting kabul what does that say about president a shotgun his government and the security forces ability to secure kabul the capital. it is not the first time actually when a high profile foreigners are in the town and attack six place it is very unfortunate even though the afghan government wanted to because there has been an outcry an outburst of trust ration by public over the last few days the afghan government thought that perhaps its base to declare today as
6:06 pm
a holiday so that nobody may take to the streets and protest but unlike that you know unlike even to the expectation of the afghan government another attack took place so it was very unfortunate and even did an afghan government didn't expect it and i'm sure it was in a very good welcoming to the indonesian president but it is not the first time with such attacks take place when high profile people come to afghanistan so that's why afghans for quite cleaning that is typical of a biology of the president for ensuring security for your kaderi in kabul thank you . all right want to tell you now about some of the other stories making news around the world. observers say at least sixteen civilians have been killed in government airstrikes on syria's it live province well that brings the death toll to some thirty three people since sunday it live is the only problem is in syria under the control of opposition forces government troops have been making advances in recent weeks. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu is in moscow for talks with

6:08 pm
only the world's biggest producer of plastic products it has also been importing millions of tons of plastic waste for recycling beijing gave only six months warning that it was going to imposed a ban and that left countries scrambling to find alternatives to sending their plastic garbage to china the bad will have far reaching consequences for the world but let's first look into what impact waste from abroad has on china. so these chinese children have little to look forward to each day they spend most of their waking hours between plumes of smoke and mountains of plastics so their families are now livelihoods by sorting wastes these scenes are from a chinese documentary. one too long spent many years filming small chinese garbage dumps he was haunted by what he witnessed. in a way i have a daughter of my own i couldn't bear to see her grow up in such
6:09 pm
a horrible environment some of these children have been surrounded by garbage since they were born i don't want kids living in rubbish every day. this is the dark side of the recycling business. these families sorting the trash are exposed to numerous health hazards including toxic fumes and harmful substances some of the children here don't go to school. thank you what's not recycled often ends up elsewhere in the landscape polluting the groundwater as a result animals. some of the mountains of garbage catch fire. pressure area the stench here is horrible it's almost impossible to bear. but what else can we do. with the air is no good the water is no good. the only thing that's good is the money. while shooting his film one to learn made
6:10 pm
another discovery most of the garbage comes from overseas for. one day for my research i was at a massive garbage dump and had a province when i took a closer look i saw the packaging from the us japan germany france and i realized that i was looking at the garbage dump in the entire world. until the beginning of the year more than. half of the world's waste was sold to china when also shot footage in the us where waste was the sixth largest export to china germany has also been exporting several hundred thousand tons of plastic waste and to the far east. but now in an effort to protect the environment and its own population china says it no longer buys so-called foreign waste. your hard to know without that. this is good for the environment.
6:11 pm
and it is urgently needed. of course it will also lead to a lack of role materials such as paper and plastic to. where under. now china itself is producing too much waste but environmental awareness is increasing modern recycling and incineration plants are being built in many locations as a result other countries are stuck with twenty four types of waste banned from import to china. because there was and there i would see how other countries such as germany britain the us all the european union should all think about how to solve their waste problems. instead of relying on the world market and simply export water treated here. when jay leno also sees change many of the recycling plants he visited have since been shut down the filmmaker says the
6:12 pm
conditions at this garbage sorting facility in beijing are satisfactory. meanwhile his film has won several international awards for one to learn the import ban is good news and will contribute to solving china's environmental problems. we also hope that people in industrialised countries will see the facts and hear the truth are off film and that they give more attention to this issue. lang lang is no longer allowed to show his film on china's strictly controlled internet but he's convinced his work has contributed to a positive change in china's waste related activities. are to some other news now the stars of the music business were out in force in new york city for the industry's annual grammys awards well the surprise winner of the night was bruno mars who beat tough competition likes of jay z. and kendrick lamar to take home six awards but music wasn't the only item on the
