this is d.w. news law from pushing for peace in afghanistan the u.s. says talks with the taliban in qatar are making progress but what will be the price for ending seventeen years of war and given the terrible legacy of the taliban how do the afghan people view the prospect of their return we speak to an afghan filmmaker. also coming up new satellite images from north korea are causing concern they suggest the country is rebuilding a rocket launch site that it dismantled last year as part of piece most of the u.s.

. and in football a stunning development in the champions league defending champs rail madrid are out there limited by acts of amsterdam is this the end of an era for one of europe's best clubs. i'm 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 and the eastern city of jalalabad these all started early this morning with militants detonating suicide bombs before 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. 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 aimed 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 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'a law again about how a holy war wasn't in vain that. all afghans want to chivvy

a lower 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 kalamu doing today has a different spin on this brutal oppression. we never punished anyone back then those people advice and if we threatened anyone because he didn't have a bit it wasn't because we wanted to be the one of god's commandments for men as a 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 . that lesser isn't censorship of the internet not yet anyway. i'm afraid of the 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. in the lives of 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. let's bring in journalist latifa 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 stances 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. 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 the 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 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 and the sort of a freedom the sort of a social life you know could be at risk for a lot of people all right real concerns there among afghans. speaking to us from kabul thank you so much for your insight. 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 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 afghan 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 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. i'm going to tell you the story of the girl she had a privileged and happy night in the northern district of kabul afghanistan with her three sisters her mother. 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 cultures and religions that was the beginning of a series of wars which have devastated the country and its people for years. and forced that little girl and her family to kind of there's thirty seven movies and dangerous journey and sort. of chemist. and i am.

not 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 we see in such an optic and violence in the past two years in particular what is needed for a peaceful solution how should peace negotiator it 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 the progress that you've just been talking about would be wiped out is that

a possibility. anything is possible right but they're being so vague and their description of what we actually are will be facing what are the these rights the the they're talking about so many different things the but there's nothing concrete for anybody to even sit down on a table and say ok how can we work with this 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 filmmaker and human rights activists nahid shailene me thank you so much for joining. us. now to some other stories making news around the world former nissan boss carlos going has been released from after putting up bail of nearly nine million dollars goanna is charged in japan with underreporting salary for years and passing on personal losses to nissan the tycoon was detained for more

satellite images from several u.s. think tanks and south korean intelligence services show evidence of reconstruction the u.s. has warned the north that it faces a fresh sanctions if fails to take steps to denuclearize. reuters correspondent josh smith is following the story in seoul hi josh so u.s. and south korea analysts they've been looking at this satellite imagery what do they claim that it actually shelves so they say that in the images they began to see activity. just week or ten days before. we've been going on last week they started to see not only. some of the dismantlement that north korea had started last week or last year but actually a reconstruction of some of the facilities at this satellite site that being said 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 listed certainly raised 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 at least virtually told trump they would shut down and dismantle and that now appears to be reversed so after the failed some a do you see list as another setback for negotiations on denuclearizing the korean peninsula. u.s. secretary of state might talk to you 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 hurdles than they would have otherwise so talks will continue between washington

and pyongyang but what about north korea's neighbors like south korea and japan who are directly threatened by the north's missile program what do they think of these efforts to negotiate. south korea's president mugabe and his dad one of the biggest supporters of engagement with north korea he was dealt something of a body blow by the failure of the trump him summit and this latest news on the rocket side there will certainly cause him more problems as he tries to reach out japan has also continued to raise concerns about north korea's continued weapons development so this is certainly not good news for them either right words correspondent josh smith in seoul thanks for bringing us up to date now fears are growing about human rights in china after it emerged that the government has started penalizing citizens who engage in anti-social behavior some twenty three million people have been blocked from buying plane or train tickets friends for

offenses like not paying taxes or walking a dog without a leash the reports shine a light on how china is using personal data not only to boost prosperity but also to tighten control. china and fascination with a booming economy that produces masses of data. more than eight hundred million people here use the internet and they've embraced digital life like almost no other society payments or does bookings it's all done by smartphone. china's population is a gigantic bubbling source of data that's veritable boon to chinese companies like the successful voice recognition firm i fly tech. the company says they take data protection seriously but they need to use the data to improve their software in a world all that data is used to to create a better to their human time to increase their efficiency to create more value

jobs so i walk i suggest or not care so much about that china's government is also constantly collecting data cameras are everywhere many are used for facial recognition chinese society doesn't get to say but people here are generally well disposed towards technological changes at the same time there's increasing awareness about data protection and rules are getting stricter for companies data is the oil elite for leisure society so we know that data is very important for most alertly for the artificially tell it is industry etc so. we know that we have to sacrifice or to contribute a certain amount of information data to the company for them to learn this flood of data is giving china's authoritarian government more control over the people they're aiming to build a nationwide social credit system to collect a wide range of data on all citizens like how responsibly they pay their debts so

far only pilot projects are in place. we're compiling a social mechanism that will give advantages to those who are trustworthy and restrict those who disappoint us it's aimed at honoring honesty. and wish more. millions of chinese people have already been blacklisted and apart from flying the list of dishonest people is publicly available on the internet while it's hard to predict the exact shape and extent of china's digital future many fear there is a very fine line between smart cities and total surveillance. to sports now and the best football club in europe for three years now has been knocked out of the champions league round madrid is out after a stunning loss at home i.x. from amsterdam dominated the second leg in madrid to overcome a deficit and win five three on aggregate meanwhile tottenham's harry k.

knocked one innes's english club brushed aside bundesliga leaders dortmund to advance to the quarter finals. all right let's talk about all of that champions the action with art so easy from sports art what happened to real madrid here well they have been struggling for a while at home in their own league in the spanish league they're already twelve points behind the league leaders barcelona they were knocked out of the spanish cup the copa del rey and the i don't think they ever got over the loss of christiane or naldo who went over to you ventus and in this first leg of the of the series against. them even though the spaniards won two to one in amsterdam i actually looked like the better team and so then in the second leg the dutch decided to take the game to the spaniards and that paid off i mean the goals were scored already very early in the first half. and net as they got fantastic passes by midfield a survey in midfield general called on todd each and he had the game of his life he

had struggled for four years in the premier league at southampton but here it was the game of his life he said and then the spanish pulled one back but then the dutch gave them the death knell later on in the game four to one win for i.x. of amsterdam and and rail at madrid are out so was this a case of rail being too weak or were i x just that much better well both i mean i think the real madrid players at least four or five top players they know that no christian are and although if they're not going to have the same kind of success and also the dutch decided to play with the originator back in the one nine hundred seventy s. total football where everybody attacks and everybody defends they did that perfectly yesterday but i must say real madrid were gracious in defeat and in fact their german midfielder twenty cross had this to say about the match. it's disappointing to the course we. used to grow up in this competition. but today

we have to be on this to the beaches of two roads was was a bit of doom in both games at the end for real madrid there let's talk about the other match last night dortmund hoping for a miracle against tottenham they didn't get it that's right dortmund were trailing three nil tottenham hotspur had beat them at home with three male and so they would have had to put out all the stops and they did they tore out a page from the dems playbook attack and they could have scored in the first half but they had their top player marco royce they were denied eleven times in the first half and in the end in the early in the second half then spurs top player came on and harry came he scored the lone goal of the game to make it a four neil aggregate win for tottenham hotspur and they move on dortmund are out they tried everything but it just didn't work too bad for the door and more action tonight could be be in for more surprises well there's a very interesting game precision man or p.s.g.

is hosting manchester united the prisons one in manchester to nail so they've got a comfortable lead but there are german coach thomas to go said take nothing for granted here now man you are licking their wounds they're down ten starters they've even brought five teenagers from their soccer academy to try to make up for things but you know they are coached by all a good. hope i pronounced that right he is a norwegian international he used to play for man u. and in one thousand nine hundred nine now if anybody can pull this out of a hat he can he got off the bench and won the champions league for man you as a player scoring in the dying seconds of injury time so anything's possible could be another exciting night in the champions league aren't so see from davies for thank you very much. it's now three stars from germany's two thousand and fourteen world cup winning squad have been cut from the national team coach joachim loew of made the decision as the players prepare for the first qualifier for next year's european championships lurve was roundly criticized for his team's poor performance
