agency that all attackers had been killed on the attack comes two days after ghani offered the taliban a temporary ceasefire. for the very latest i have on the line journalist the heave godfrey on the line from palestine first of all what is the latest you're hearing about the military operation in the capital when what we hear is that at least three attackers strikers. palace we have prison and he was laboring a street during the very nature as you put it a religious festival today and you know the laws. were very badly off the afghan security forces very clear that they are jammed down all. your forces have been one day and we can we hear from or sort of take it slow coming out of the building where the surgeons were launching attacks from and if they were

a couple as well so that if he does that's a good one if we could few from this statement by the taliban it was pretty welcomed this kind of proposal so that's why you're is no doubt no one doubts that it was carried out by the taliban or by the taliban because the taliban claim that they are getting more ground in afghanistan and they are getting more recalls nation so that's why they didn't really like the idea of green lines as the supply of proposals and some of the founding fathers rejected the president's offer of a temporary ceasefire how much of a setback is this for the government and what its options. one another nothing really trying on the international community as well to bring the taliban to the negotiating table but it seems like you know there were some green signals but the problem is that the taliban are so fragmented and divided that you know one party might want to see are like taking and might accept the idea that the others might have rejected that so that is why now it comes like a blow to the afghan government that's international community that they were

12:26 pm
economy the goal is the same the goal is to bring to heel turkey and the turkish nation to hold it captive we are a nation that prefers to be shot in the neck rather than chained by the neck. that doesn't interest the ratings agencies they're downgrading turkey ever further making it harder for the country to raise new money independent observers say the economy's biggest problem is the president himself they are predicting a hard landing for i'm correct at the moment only rising prices are affecting people but soon a wave of bankruptcies could roll across the country plunging many families into poverty. shares in electric car maker tesla remain volatile amid reports that a major backer for taking the company private was pulling out a saudi arabian sovereign wealth fund that tesla c.e.o. iran musk said could help fund a privatization deal is now in talks to invest in rival lucent motors tesla shares
