i. use it to beat champions league title holder real madrid. hello i'm terry martin welcome to the program reports are coming in that at least sixteen people have been killed in a militant attack in the eastern afghan city of jalalabad. are said to have targeted a construction company near the city's airport suicide bombers first set off explosives before armed men stormed the building triggering an exchange of fire with security teams. the attack in jalalabad comes as negotiations continue between the taliban and u.s. officials in qatar the talks are aimed at ending more than seventeen years of violence the taliban have launched a charm offensive aimed at winning over the international community in the afghan

people but many afghans are worried about the role the taliban might play in their country's future. malawi kalama dean once wielded enormous power he led the enforcement of taliban regulations during their rule of afghanistan from one thousand nine hundred ninety six to two thousand and one now he's hoping for a comeback as the taliban and the us hold peace talks after years of guerrilla warfare the taliban want to be in charge again callum again says that's long overdue. the fans want to live in the shari'ah lore again about how a holy war wasn't in vain. all afghans want to shari'a law again not just the holy warriors from the taliban. afghanistan under taliban rule movie theaters destroyed films burnt everything

considered western was strictly forbidden men were forbidden from shaving their beards women were forced to wear burkas infractions were met with severe punishment prison or death by stoning kalam boudin today has a different spin on this brutal oppression. so we never punished anyone better than those people advice and if we threatened anyone because he didn't have a beard it wasn't because we wanted to be the one of god's commandments the men as covering up for women. who want to be a law must accept these rules. afghanistan is a conservative islamic society but the country has changed in recent years more than half the population is under the age of eighteen most young afghans want the war to end but they reject the idea of others telling them how to live their lives . at least there isn't censorship of the internet not yet anyway.

i'm afraid if a taliban it's not just the internet we would lose all of our freedoms. the taliban present themselves as more moderate than before allowing calum again appears on talk shows to promote his interpretation of islam but western analysts consider this a charm offensive not a sign of long term change this is the individual vital to secure individual and democratic rights this is doubtful with the taliban they haven't presented any clear ideas about how they see the future of afghanistan. compromises are inevitable to end the war with the taliban these are likely to come at a high price short while ago i spoke to a journalist in kabul i asked him how ordinary afghans feel about the taliban being involved in direct talks with the us about the future of the country. the biggest

problem with these negotiations is that there is no other on present other than the dollar but the negotiations are between the taliban and the united states which is exactly what the taliban has one thousand and once you know the trump administration has sent. as their representative to doha but he's not there as an on he's there as a u.s. representative you know you have to remember that under the bush administration he was u.s. ambassador to afghanistan as a leader to iraq so there's really no indication that he is there to represent anything having to do with the people of afghanistan or the government of the on a son he's literally just there for washington the taliban regain control in afghanistan what impact will that have on people's lives on women's rights and education for example. the thing is no one knows i mean because we really don't know what is the i can't stress this enough we really don't know is being

negotiated we don't know it was on my fellow has handed over to east of the presidential palace of the taleban and we're just waiting for his announcement so we don't know how involved they could be possibly in a government right away there are chances that they would stand for election things like that but in terms of an immediate government we have no idea what their role would be and the biggest fear for people is that do the taliban realize that it's not one thousand nine hundred six anymore because when they came into power in one thousand nine hundred sixty was a very specific window of time in afghanistan coming out of a civil war coming out of soviet occupation where people were desperate for for a civil war that that that partition kabul that that made it into ethnic ghettos that that hundreds and thousands hundreds if not thousands of rockets being launched every jaipur out city killing civilians and. kidnapping and all of these other abuses you know that's what led to the taliban coming to power that doesn't exist anymore and the fact is that the people of afghanistan are not willing to

even quote unquote temporarily give up their rights for some semblance of order so this is the message that needs to be conveyed to the taliban and hopefully my fellow who is the only other person at this point talking to them is making sure that they know this. thank you very much for your insights journalist ali t.v. there in kabul. now despite the stories making news around the world today former nissan boss carlos ghosn has been released from prison after putting up nearly nine million dollars in bail goen is charged in japan with under reporting his salary for years and passing on personal losses to new song tycoon was detained for more than one hundred days but maintains that he is innocent. north korea is reported to be rebuilding its long range rocket launch site following the collapse of last week's summit with u.s. president all. satellite images from several u.s.
