and there you go about the recipes for success and the strategies that make a difference. taking bread. on. this is a lot from burlesque pushing for peace in afghanistan the u.s. says talks with the taliban and qatar are making progress but what will be the price for ending seventeen years of war as given the terrible legacy of the taliban how do the afghan people view the prospect of their return to speak to an afghan filmmaker. also coming up new satellite images from north korea are causing concern
12:01 pm
they suggest the country is rebuilding a rocket launch site that it dismantled last year as part of peace moves with the u.s. . and i.x. of amsterdam to overcome a one goal deficit to be champions league title holders to bring on the trip. i'm sumi so much going to thank you for joining us afghanistan has been hit by a new wave of violence in the last hours at least sixteen people have been killed in a militant attack in the eastern city of jalalabad the assault began early this morning with militants detonating suicide bombs or storming a construction company near the city's airport security forces rushed to the scene and exchanged fire with the attackers all five of the assailants are now said to be dead. while that attack comes as negotiations between the taliban and u.s.
12:02 pm
officials continue in qatar the talks are aimed at ending more than seventeen years of violence in afghanistan the taliban have launched a charm offensive and at winning over the international community and the afghan people but as we report many afghans are worried about the role that the fundamentalist group will play in their future. malawi calum again 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. to see that the afghans want to live in the shari'a law again about how a holy war wasn't in vain the poor afghans want to shari'a law over again not just
12:03 pm
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 kalimba doing today has a different spin on this brutal oppression. 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 it's one of god's commandments the men as covering up for women. who want sharia law must accept these rules. afghanistan is a conservative islamic society but the country has changed in recent years more
12:04 pm
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 to fatality and it's not just the internet we would lose all of our freedoms with the taliban present themselves as more moderate than before but now we call them 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. in the lives lytle 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 because of. the compromises are inevitable to end the war with the taliban these are likely to come
12:05 pm
at a high price let's bring internalised he is standing by in couple right now ali as we heard there our fear is that the taliban could soon return to power and afghanistan and let's not forget this is a movement that's known for its incredibly harsh rule fundamentalist stance on education and its repression of women as well how do afghans feel about these talks . there's a lot of trepidation about these talks because the truth is that there is no up on representation there you know as all my colleagues are representing the united states any of the taliban but there's no one there from from the government there's no on there from civil society there's no women there's no minorities there's no you there's no journalists and you know like right now i'm sitting in a very hip cafe in kabul where young people you know it's the young people can afford like a seven dollars above but still young people men and women can come and hang out and have coffee and you know. just enjoy a pastime and have this sort of
12:06 pm
a culture the risk is that if the taleban go back to their ways from one thousand nine hundred six to two thousand and one that sort of a system something like this could be lost you know you know this sort of camaraderie in the sort of a freedom the sort of a social life you know could be at risk for a lot of people are right real concerns there among afghans. speaking to us from kabul thank you so much for your insight. and you well let's talk more about the transformation of afghan society over the last two decades and what the current talks in qatar mean for the country we have a filmmaker and human rights activist. with us tonight thank you so much for joining us what do you make of what we just heard there those concerns that much of the progress that's been made could be lost especially with these talks happening direct talks between washington and the taliban. i agree completely with with what he just said and it's the fact that we have no clarity makes it very difficult to make any kind of assumptions and because they are assumptions what we're making
12:07 pm
right now the negotiation team has to include exactly the use to minority groups the ethnic groups and women of course because i always say that women's rights sitting down here and talking about the film that is about women inspiring women of afghanistan living in afghanistan. you have to you have to you have to realize that just because you want a war to end and the violence to end that does not equal to peace it will not equal to peace ever if you do not include all of these aspects and all of these factors and all of the stakeholders have to be have to have a say in this because these democratic mechanisms that have been that have been in afghanistan in the last seventeen years especially is crucial to the sustainable peace that we're talking about and since there is nothing that we know about this these talks behind the doors it is makes it very difficult to do some kind of projections it is indeed something that you're very much invested in and as you
12:08 pm
said you were mentioning a film you have made a film called the women of afghanistan it's a film looking at the story of the country but also very much your own story we have a clip let's take a look. it's. i'm going to tell you the story of the girl she had a privileged and happy nights in the northern district of kabul afghanistan with her three sisters her mother and her father one of the country's most prominent political figures it's one thing to absolutely nothing to do with your family nor with any afghan living in peace and acceptance of all cultures and religions. is the beginning of a series of boards which have devastated the country and its people for years. and forced that eleven year old girl and her family kind of there's thirty seven and dangerous journey and sort. of chemist. and i am.
12:09 pm
now your personal story that you're sharing but one that many afghans have experienced of course and that violence that you say caused your family to flee it is continuing to the state within such an optic and violence in the past two years in particular what is needed for a peaceful solution how should peace negotiator i think when the time comes for the real peace talks because these these what we call the so-called peace talks and the moment is supposed to lead to actual negotiations the negotiation team the composition of that team is crucial to the i think to the success of the so-called peace that we're talking about everybody wants peace in afghanistan but i think that the afghans and the international community want a responsible withdrawal and i think that it is the moral responsibility of the international community to make sure that that happens. what would a return to power by the taliban mean for your country would it mean that much of
12:10 pm
the progress that you've just been talking about would be wiped out is that a possibility. do you think is possible right but they're being so vague and their description of what we actually are are will be facing what are the these rights the day they're talking about so many different things the but there's nothing concrete for anybody to even sit down on the table and say ok how can we work with so until we get a clear cut. you know statement saying that this is how it's going to be under the rule of the taliban but the government and the people of afghanistan have to be included in this in this negotiation so therefore nobody can tell what's happening at the moment right filmmaker and human rights activists now he'd shyly me thank you so much for joining us on day to have you thanks. let's catch up now on some other stories making news around the world former nissan boss carlos goanna has been released from after putting up a bail of nearly nine million dollars goannas charged in japan with underreporting

summit with u.s. president donald trump work on dismantling the so hey facility began last year but satellite images from the several u.s. think tanks and south korean intelligence services show evidence of reconstruction the u.s. has warned the north it faces fresh sanctions if a pyongyang fails to take steps to denuclearize. reuters correspondent josh smith is following this story in seoul hi josh so u.s. and south korea analysts they've been looking at those satellite imagery what do they claim that it actually shows so they say that in the images began to see activity. just week or ten days before. we can john last week they started to see not only halt some of the dismantlement that north korea had started last week or last year but actually a reconstruction of some of the facilities and this satellite site that being said
12:16 pm
analysts we spoke to also emphasized what they did not see which was any evidence that some kind of missile test is imminent still josh it would appear that pyongyang is then not keeping its word and promising to dismantle the site this did certainly raise a lot of eyebrows in washington and around the world because there have been very few concrete agreements between north korea and the united states but this area was one that north korea had of the furtively told trump they would shut down and dismantle and that now appears to be being reversed so after the failed some a do you see this as another setback for negotiations on denuclearizing the korean peninsula. u.s. secretary of state might prompt said on monday that he's hoping to send another team of u.s. diplomats to pyongyang soon to try to restart talks with this context of this new development of the missile site it does mean that those diplomats may face greater
