quite shocking it was quite big and was together with my other colleagues we were just. coming back from the field today mortgage halls that were. in one walk here and we were having a bit of rest and all of a sudden the power was gone and the ground with starting to shake and we rushed outside quickly. just really trying to stay away from the building in the dark i mean you say it was very shocking as we can of course imagine in a series of aftershocks following the quake and of course a quake two weeks ago as well how are people reacting there was a state of mind right now. there is one that happened this afternoon the two or create that happened this afternoon

required shocking as the community level we had quite a few footage from our colleagues on the ground who were trying to reach some remote are yes but there was hope and the middle of the way because of the strong earthquakes and they had to help people around the local community or people were running around trying to get away from the buildings from construction so that you know there were a few and all through like within the red cross we have been working on really rebuilding the lives of communities so we've started directing. for them here it is and all through of providing their regular the court record in court the health. and water and sanitation that well you know that the store

have been. quite shocking and all. and although we have to be more like you know we're committed if we're really supporting the board on what they need on the ground right now because the new officer did your damage there on the other calling at the moment well. thank you very much for taking the time to talk to us through the international federation of the red cross on the island of mombasa thank you the. afghan president has declared a provisional three month ceasefire with the taliban he said the truce would hold only if the insurgents reciprocate meanwhile the taliban have said that they will free hundreds of prisoners for the forthcoming holiday the announcement swallowed a week of fierce fighting in which the taliban launched an assault against the city of gas knee near kabul. to the wall the woman.

and journalist he joins us on the line now from kabul he's been following this story. this is not the first time they've gone he's offered a ceasefire this year and just last week we saw fresh fighting the taliban also announcing that it would be that would withdraw protection from the red cross so what has propelled me to offer this ceasefire now. well actually you're right two months ago during the first the festival can you all see it all for an unconditional actually offer proposal to the taliban but this time it's conditional he say that you know he will give them the opportunity to embrace you and if they do agree and if they agree if they do. approve this proposal then you know for three months to ceasefire but the problem is that the taliban are always been going back on their promises i mean last time we quite

a number that only for three or four days they accepted that ben but then shortly after that we you know witness quite a lot of attacks in kabul and in north of afghanistan on loads of afghan troops on afghan civilians have been killed two people are not really optimistic to be honest about. all five even though i mean we hear from international figures as well like today the need to secretary general olds who welcomed it and i've been speaking you know to other diplomats as well saying that it might be actually opening the gateway for the taliban to embrace peace for a break before afghanistan so welcomed by the international community but first of course the taliban have to agree to it how are they reacting to the offer. well the taliban actually you know when you really need to message it doesn't really talk so much about this even just to say that they would be releasing. a dozen of afghan

prisoners that they are in captivity within the taliban groups that they haven't been really you know elaborating on this issue but it seems like the taliban all quite a global ready but the problem is that the taliban is not one united states get this point let me clarify that they are so much sigrid a say that they are still my divided actually your money future of the taliban so if one group embraces actually welcomed this peace proposal might the other groups that they might be you know causing it as they did in the past as well today and you talk about a divided taliban say the ceasefire was to hold is that the post but it's the of peace talks in the near future or two things for that. well we have been afghans have been waiting for the peace actually for servants and you know our generation we have been just. peace that we haven't seen it for a day i mean we see that the taliban last time two months ago they call them in the cities and they were the things i scream out of the afghan prison footage but

unfortunately only after a day this sort of feeling just as audiences offering up guns and afghan children as we witnessed in a couple of is going call them into with tough calls so that is the problem you know the problem is that they are so mike divided the jury is not one single group that the afghan government can pull to even do now pakistan is involved in it's the neighboring countries old and poor involved in it and saudi arabia is actually quite eager to help them with this offer but to be honest with you today afghans on the ground they are not really optimistic about their country believe that the only way to defeat the taliban is on the battlefield. ok so not much optimism this stage but tactic of the area journalist in kabul speaking to us thank you very much indeed thank you. venezuela's president nicolas maduro has announced a series of economic reforms aimed at curbing hyperinflation which could hit one million percent this year now

a new currency is due to start trading this week it give you an idea of the daily hardship people are facing this pile of venezuela bolivia is that you can see here will buy you in fact just one chicken likewise this is how much just a few tomatoes will currently cost you in venezuela and while take a look at this which part of paper is worth more here the actual paper or the toilet paper itself venezuela is a fleeing the economic crisis in their droves they're facing tough restrictions on getting into other countries. brazilians in the border town of parker turn on venezuelan immigrants forcing hundreds to flee back across the frontier violence flared after an alleged attack on a local restaurant owner but tensions have been building for years as huge numbers of venezuelans escaping turmoil at home have poured into brazil. chaotic scenes

also on the border between colombia and ecuador which has tightened passport requirements for venezuelans wanting to enter the country like many fifty year old gabriele malo volta wants to travel through ecuador and then into peru but the authorities there too are cracking down on venezuelans. i'm here with my wife we're hoping for some kind of humanitarian measure from the ecuadorian government that allows us to enter so we can continue our journey to peru. we really want to contribute. if we don't work our kids will starve. we're going to stick together until we get to our destination in peru so we can work and fight for our kids. that may now be more difficult but with the venezuelan economy in tatters and no guarantee president maduro is reforms will succeed there's little incentive for would be emigrants to

return home. and joining us now from the venezuelan capital caracas is all scottish lanka he's a correspondent covering events for. thank you for joining us we're hearing reports of absolutely dire conditions in venezuela can you describe to us what people are going three. well it's quite difficult not only because there's a fluid shortage in a medicine shortage but also services like electricity and water especially outside of the capital to that us it is it is really tough for people to to handle and in the past few days since the news of these new economic measures that mother is introducing it's made complete chaos here in venice where with supermarkets full of people trying to spend the money that they still have and filling up their their gasoline tanks with the news of an increment in and gas prices here and

there's also a lot of confusion on to how people are going to calculate the new currency that's going to be implemented by tuesday now it's thousands of people are trying to face neighboring countries using at columbia as a corridor or i think being treated to as illegal migrants. well the thing is that a lot of those these countries and in south america have a treaty that they allow immigrants to pass without using a passport now if it were to work the group have to claim it's a it's a passport to accept these new immigrants because of the influx of and as well as that are coming in now you have to understand that these countries are not used to having immigrants in this large and these large amounts and they don't have the legislature or the accommodations to go to attend to such

a migration and we've seen the u.n. calling this the largest migration of people in the hemisphere so we are starting to see much more difficulties for venezuelans in these countries but up to now it's been pretty pretty easy for them to travel within these countries. thank you that talking to me from caracas you're watching the w. news from bali and plenty more coming up at the top of the hour and have an outbreak thank you company. fun beethoven. his works as for tonight. the monstrous intrigue. beethoven faced off twenty.
