also a speed things are serious note for years prison system didn't use talks with a former inmate who's now speaking out about her ordeal plus in the bonus legal minds hosted lepsis in a cheek lunch for both sides minds are battling against relegation unless you're still hoping to secure a champions league spot next season i'll show you who came out on top. thanks for your company everyone we start in afghanistan the country is reeling from a string of bombings at least twenty five people have been killed and scores injured in two back to back suicide attacks in the capital kabul another blast encounter her province to the south left eleven children dead and in the third attack in the east the b.b.c. says one of its off gone reporters was killed. and the kabul attacks nine

journalists and four police officers were among those who died so-called islamic state group has claimed responsibility for. the two suicide bombers struck in the central shot star rock area near nato headquarters and the afghan defense ministry staggering the blasts for maximum effect. after a motorcyclist set up the first explosion another attacker embedded with journalists running to the scene detonated a second device a month i want to study a shock to the enemy was posing as a camera man. he detonated his explosives among a group of journalists in the area. in the resulting explosion a number of our journalists and other people in passers by this includes nearby residents who were gathered at the scene were wounded and martyred. so he do exactly sure that one of the dead sharma wright was a of peace chief photographer in kabul some three dozen journalists have died in

attacks since two thousand and sixteen reporters without borders says this was the single deadliest day for journalists since the taliban were driven out of kabul in two thousand and one. the mother enemy down at the i was about ten meters away from the side of the first explosion trying to get there when the second blast happened it was very powerful when i finally got there i found many of my fellow reporters lying on the ground some of them dead already. the afghan government has pledged repeatedly to improve security in the capital but hundreds have already died in attacks since the start of this year. freelance journalist until all us are warry is in kabul and joins us are right now a good evening and bill all of bloodshed is continuing today in afghanistan tell us a little bit about the attack in khandahar that killed eleven children and more can you tell us about that. today was a very bloody day we had attacks across several provinces kabul kandahar and anger

are in the east in the province of kandahar a suicide attacker targeted a convoy of international forces we're being told remain in forces as a result of that at least eleven children were among at least nineteen people killed it just sort of shows you that the front line in afghanistan is now everywhere it's hotels in small states it's highways and the people of afghanistan really don't feel safe anywhere today was also a very bloody day for afghan journalism at least ten afghan journalist work killed including my colleague in the south eastern province of poe's and side a major provincial capital last week another journalist was killed assassinated in the province of kandahar so colleagues there had decided that they will not cover the news but on the part of the afghan government as well as the militants i think

what you're looking at is a continuous weakness in terms of the afghan government and its international allies failing to protect afghan lives and every day life in afghanistan celebrate their beloved going to talk about that a little later on as well but i want to focus again on these reporters in the first responders seemingly were targeted in today's second attack in kabul is i.s.i. actively going after members of the press in afghanistan. well. is a mystery dice show of which vented which dies i mean this is a question that's lingering what is for sure that there is a militant group that's quite brutal and in the statement in the arabic language that the issued this said that they had really targeted the apostate media now. free media and press is one of the major achievements of post taliban afghanistan to low t.v. was targeted by the taliban almost

a year ago so it has its enemies it's also warlords in many other corrupt politicians who really fear the truth but today was indeed a very deliberate attack because these were the forest responders and the attacker or the militant groups would have clearly noticed cameras and microphones and we're being told by the spokesperson for the police chief of kabul afghanistan exactly their attacker had some sort of an i.d. he introduced himself as a member of the press corps so the questions are being asked that after many many years of these attacks why has the afghan government not come up with a strategy where they can cordon off the area where they could have a home sort of an islamist service providing. information in as a member of the afghan media i have been to these areas quite often be allowed to that point though and very briefly if you can what does all of this mean for elections that are scheduled to take place in the fall if authorities just keep

continuing to fail and secure the country the capital for its people. that process of parliamentary elections is already delayed for four years many afghans fear because of security issues but they also feel that their vote really didn't matter so why you have a very slow voter registration process that has been affected by these bloody attacks the attack in kabul that killed at least sixty people so no doubt but every day life in afghanistan is not protected and i think you're talking about a lot of coffins that afghanistan can simply not afford all right below us or we're reporting from kabul afghanistan thank you. all right i want to bring up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. a monitoring group says twenty six people have been killed in missile strikes on military facilities in the north of syria the blasts are reported to have hit a syrian army base where iranian backed forces are also stationed iran has denied

reports that its base in the country was hit u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o has urged palestinians and israelis to resume political engagement america as the top diplomat made his comments during a visit to jordan today responding to questions about recent violence on the israel gaza border mr pompei o said israel has a right to defend itself thousands of people have gathered in central moscow to protest against recent restrictions on internet freedom in russia but protests come after authorities began blocking the popular telegram messaging app earlier this month the company's founder has refused to share the key its data encryption with authorities citing privacy concerns. a un security council team investigating me and mars treatment of its were henge a minority has met with the country's leader aung san suu kyi and its military chief the army launched attacks on revenge of villages last august and as

a result around seven hundred thousand people fled to neighboring bangladesh where they've been living in makeshift shelters on the way to me in march the security council visited a refugee camp. tears flowed freely as rwanda refugees shared stories of rape and murder speaking to members of the un security council they told of how they were forced to flee their homes in myanmar following a violent military crackdown last august. i think it shows that a little shouting match a bad youngish riot that you counsel to find some way to do that enable the people to go. in their first ever visit to the camps the un security council members observe the living conditions of the displaced muslim minority group some seven hundred thousand have fled myanmar in the past year most of them live in this dusty camp in cox bazaar bangladesh where refugees have built their own shelters out of

scrap and where water is limited while many hope to return home they are afraid that they would be killed in myanmar yeah you go there but most of them want the support of the u.n. so that we can get justice for torture carried out by the myanmar military if we get back our properties and land then we will go back to them that they want to. do during their visit the security council promised to quote do all they can to bring an end to the crisis after years of silence about the plight of the rotunda me and my leader aung sun suu kyi says she will cooperate with the un and help the refugees come back to myanmar. when and how they will return remains unclear. in washington us we still have a lot more to tell you about including syria's notorious prisons allegedly hold over seven thousand women correspondent you haven't met one woman now speaking out about the torture she endured and the want to see the mine stay out of the

relegation zone but have to battle to pass to get past european hopefuls life since . before all that we've got ben here and a question will he all will he a deadline is looming and well us down to twenty five percent on european steel and ten percent on alimony and could come into effect from tomorrow that is unless an exemption is extended a permanent one is what a youth leaders want it's what both france's macaw and germany's merkel personally pleaded for a talks with trump last week but they didn't get any assurances from him. behind the scenes u.s. and e.u. representatives are scrambling to find a last minute agreement to avoid the introduction of punitive tariff spy the u.s. the americans expect concessions saying they've been unfairly treated when it comes to trade with the e.u. the munich based institute for economic research study the tariffs on five thousand products to compare the e.u. and u.s. tax each other the results there are considerably higher barriers for u.s.

products entering the e.u. than vice versa on average europeans charge a five point two percent levy as opposed to just three point five by the americans u.s. beef is especially hard hit it's taxed at sixty eight percent meanwhile the u.s. charges a forty nine percent levy on european tobacco products and twenty two percent on trucks. experts suggest lowering import duties on both sides while that would reduce european customs revenue it would certainly be cheaper than starting a trade war. in the air or to think that you can fight protectionism with protectionist policies it's like trying to tackle stupidity with stupidity. and if the conflict intensifies people could end up losing their jobs as a result. if that happens i'll be

a little as if to talk about it from the macro economic policy institute at the hunt's book the institute will he or i think we don't really know it's one of the things of donald trump does things very unexpectedly and we just don't know yet there are some last minute talks with. you commissioner for trait she can do something but i don't know you're expecting more than a tweet i'm expecting an entry there was something that it will be a last minute it will be very last minute but this president is so you know we don't really know what he what he is going to do but on the other hand i mean he was very strong and being anti-trade and being protection is so i think the likelihood is higher that he is actually imposing those kinds of terrorist but we don't know what the last minute talks will amount to these sort of last minute things to have a damaging affects on markets whether or not it's short term but even looking to the long term we are talking about consequences here for exporters who made look to

other markets to new customers and other parts of the world to trade with of course i mean the u.s. by having this kind of policy is damaging its own reputation as being some you know good negotiator that you can trust and this will have a democrat in the long term too but in terms of really what is being negotiated here it's only i mean we should not dramatize what is being negotiated here because it's only two percent of you trade with the united states that is that it's your impact upon it is a small amount but what about the counter tariffs that they e.u. has already threatened with yet the moment at the moment we see that the e.u. once to impose a terrace of denim on motorcycles harley davidson and bourbon which kind of sounds a little bit like a set you know targeting specially american goods even if those counter measures will be imposed this will still not amount to much however if that. then hits back was was terrorism car. yes i think that would really really be very hard for the

european economy cars would really when it comes to germany also symbolically considering because of what germans us so well known for that's what the germans are so proud of making how sustainable is this policy of trumps these tit for tat tariffs and these threats that he doesn't often come through it's not sustainable at all it wouldn't be if you would really go forth visit there's a lot of bluster about it because he would also hurt his own economy by imposing the tariffs on steel at the moment he would hurt u.s. produces which would which by steel which consumes you and by imposing a terrorism on cars for instance a lot of american produces they produce approach and import that to the united states and he would also hold those kinds of american producers with those kinds of car terrorists if it would really if the trade war would really escalate finally is

trump so right to worry so much about his trade deficit enough to surpluses i think yes he is the united states has the biggest trade deficit of the world at the moment the european union has a huge and increasing traits up less which basically means that the u.s. has now become the consumer of last resort for everybody else and basically also the china and the european union depend make themselves a lot of depend on the united states this increases on the one hand the poll of the united states to impose their will but also increase u.s. debts and this is also one of the problems that the trouble is about thank you very much for coming in today thank you. it's a really bad cell from frankfurt only the german news agency d.p.a. is just reporting that trump is going to sign something tonight we don't know what but the fact he's going to do something at all is positive don't you think. but

and i don't know if it is i'd have to guess that i would hope it's positive but somehow i get the feeling that if he's signing something. it might be negative indeed and all his officials are buttoning up it's a deafening silence that you have from washington and if they had something positive that they were expecting you'd think that there was some sort of indication but we have to wait and see we don't know in the german wording there is talk of a problem ation this might be an executive orders trump signs a lot of executive orders certainly if it is something on steel and aluminum then it will be negative very negative this news bit of news came just a few minutes before official trading closed here in frankfurt the stock market didn't have time to react what happens if there's no extension then and it does spark a real trade war well if the e.u. reacts and kind of puts tariffs on bourbon and harley davidson and denims and all

that then it can escalate very quickly and that's what people don't want to see here and that's why everybody was super nervous this monday and they don't have time to react they don't have occasion to react tomorrow it's a public holiday people would like to see the e.u. take a step back in german economics minister peter all meyer says even if he doesn't impose tariffs make them on for anyways an offer on which one can continue negotiating ok thanks for the update on that for us in frankfurt. and to a d. w. exclusive now layla so much beyond human rights groups estimate that more than seven thousand women are behind bars in serious notorious prison system exact numbers aren't known but reports from female prisoners who've been released are disturbing they talk of systematic humiliation beatings and the use of electric shocks corresponding to yon went to the turkish city of ghazi on tap to speak with a syrian refugee who shared with her what happened to her when she was locked up

for months in a syrian jail. a few put a plastic bag over my head in pygmy. body but then he had me up by my feet from the ceiling. how much story is hard to listen to. in the end i said once he came and said i've got a present let me show you. yet she still wants to share it. planted and it was a stun gun that's going to go all the details. he asked know where your heart. here i said and he electroshock i'll not have to write a letter. for months i was locked up in a syrian detention center for the on the back i saw a woman with her daughter and into she cannot forget what happened there. and

that is their soul was very small and dark the girl cried all the time be cuticles he. gathered up the lot and tried to catch something like below the door. mourners thirty two years she's been living in turkey because the un tape has become a place of refuge from many syrians. like city here in the busy markets she doesn't attract attention. in syria she used to teach music but in twenty twelve she was arrested because she joined the protests in there is sore against president assad. she was released after a while but then detained again and brought to damascus to military intelligence branch two one five detainees call it the. hell branch because torture there is

a daily routine. if you or shiver of what i told you is only half of what happened in that prison especially to women that many rape victims i many have been tortured some are tortured to death all the people in the world should know about these things he loves them how does she. know was released in an amnesty decree and managed to escape to turkey but thousands of women are still in torture prisons says fired it up to her knee he documents human rights abuses in syria now all sides in the war use violence against women he says but not to systematically as the syrian government bashar al assad's forces target women to intimidate opponents and spread fear. so using the woman or captured a woman or

a being or doing sexual harassment against them this is not individual this is a strategy actually and when she goes to speak to the society what's happened to her that will deter a society to do anything to even to speak one word against this kind of of a regime this is the regime. more now mohammed experienced all of this she wrote down her story and she's collecting the reports of other victims of torture she runs a support group where she helps women from syria she calls it project recovery. but haven't seen you sat down at the foot on the fact that some women refuse to talk about their arrest. they don't want to talk about anything that happened to them in prison the. heart of this breakdown and cry all the time. that we try to convince these women that they are strong and what was done to them

is not their fault. i tell them start in your life was them because how that is it would lead to higher finish to the. moon as new life is here in turkey but one day she hopes she can help bring her torturers in syria to justice. in sunday's world as leader actually resurgent mys hosts at leipsic the red bulls have had a string of poor performances and are champions league aspirations hang by a thread and they might even miss out on a euro by league spot their hosts mines have been on fire of late with survival in the bundesliga edging closer. the pressure on both coaches to pick up three valuable points was palpable by sixty more van i was denied an early goal in his

round it renee are but alexander had made a last ditch block on the line. half an hour in stefan as on coming at minimal contact with your shin removed to outside the box and moved to hit the deck in seattle fashion but a penalty was awarded after consultation with the law. lost his crease in the spot kick to open the scoring for his fourth goal in as many games. after the break use of power and went down in the mines penalty area they were free to check the video replay but saw no follow relief or an exam to hockey who was already on a booking mind speight much of the game on the counter-attack and the strategy paid off substitute alexander moxy making it to nil in the closing stages. but mind went quite done yet both a backcross chris printed wrapped up a three nil win a perfect way to celebrate your bluesy good debut in added time not six misery was

complete and not. for a tactical follow just six minutes after being booked so minds notch up a crucial win in the crest to avoid the drop with light sick now without a win in for the games. all right so let's see what this means for the bundesliga table all for now while hof and hiram have taken the fourth champions league spot away from the recusant but it's still very much up for grabs as is the race for the europa league which goes down to seventh place holes work are in the relegation play off spot but him burger bleeding down their necks colo will definitely be sent down. in formula one sebastian vettel and lewis hamilton are going head to head for the top spot again this season and sunday's battle in because through that title race wide open meanwhile both red bull drivers have been reprimanded for their involvement in a crash. the wind has

a bust in fact it was on the cards until mad max messed up and threw the race into chaos the twenty year old collided with his own red bull teammate which took both of them out of the race to stop and blocked off last week's win of daniel ricardo although the team later said both which to blame. the ensuing safety call faceoff ethel's lead shortened and when he tried to have a take failed terry bottas laser on a botched bit of breaking saw him slip down the rankings eventually finishing fourth behind force india said joe pass. looked to be on course for victory until a tie a puncture handed teammate lewis hamilton the wind behind him ferrari's commute raikkonen took second in hamilton admitted both boxes i'm special deserve more it's a little bit odd to be up here but i've got to take it i mean i didn't give up i kept pushing but definitely a very untidy race for me a sixty third career win puts hamilton's title defense back on course as he moves

up the first in the rankings. the latest installment of marvel's avengers series has had a staggering success on its opening weekend in cinemas around the globe estimates suggest avengers affinity war it took in some whopping six hundred thirty million u.s. dollars worldwide at the box office on its first weekend while the final tally still has to be confirmed but the amounts would give it the edge over star wars the force awakens giving it the largest opening weekend take of all time. so i guess we'll have to go watch it thank you so much for spending this part of the day with us news continues at the top of the hour have to see that.
