a one goal deficit to be champions league title holders brail mitra. 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 in the eastern city of jalalabad the assault 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 debt. while this 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 u.s. says progress is being made but that more time is needed we'll have more on those talks in a moment but first a look at how the taliban came to power in afghanistan. the taliban emerged in afghanistan in the early one nine hundred ninety s. their aim was to turn afghanistan into a theocracy and banned foreign influence from the country in one thousand nine hundred ninety six the taliban seize the capital kabul and began to enforce strict laws women were forced to wear burkas girls' schools were closed television and music was banned. after having been largely ignored by the west for years the country became the center of attention in two thousand and one in the aftermath of the nine eleven terror attacks. at the time the taliban kept close ties to al qaida the terrorist network behind the attack of the taliban also sheltered its mastermind osama bin laden. i gave taliban leaders

a series of clear and specific demands close terrorist training camps hand over leaders of the al qaeda network and return all foreign nationals including american citizens unjustly detained in your country none of these demands were met. and now the taliban will pay a price. only weeks after nine eleven the united states led an invasion of afghanistan and drove out the taliban regime. the u.s. that alliance brought a new president to power and funneled billions of dollars of aid into the country. the taliban fighters were forced into hiding but soon after they regrouped and launched an insurgency against the u.s. backed government and foreign troops. despite the taliban insurgency continuing in afghanistan most foreign troops pulled out of the country in twenty fourteen

leaving a small contingent to train afghan security forces. the taliban used this to their advantage by taking back large parts of the country. or. that president trump intends to send even more u.s. troops home. washington's priority is no longer to defeat the taliban but negotiate an end of the conflicts but out of a lot of. data on has almost two decades of reporting experience in the region including numerous encounters with the taliban she joins us now on the story sandra how much has this country changed since the u.s. invaded in two thousand and one after nine eleven. if you look at kabul the capital when i arrived there in january two thousand and two there was a huge pile of rubble it was almost completely destroyed then you could see the city slowly being rebuilt you know there were flower shops bakery people roaming

the streets children going back to school with women coming out of the house but then in the last couple of years what you saw is i can buy and suicide attacks bomb last protection wards up the wire going up so now kabul seems to be like a fortress and yet people are dying in kabul almost on a daily basis because the violence hits the capital and if you look at the rest of the country the sections is that we have almost half of the country being either controlled or contested by taliban forces have that uptick in violence is because of a resurgent taliban and now we're seeing washington holding direct talks with the taliban is that the way forward to peace. i'm afraid it is we might not like it but i think if we want to get a peace process going in what we are seeing right now is framework talks for a possible road to peace we all need to know our expectations you know the americans did that because they accept it to talk to the taliban and the taliban in

a way also did that because they seemed to have given the promise that they will make sure that you know afghanistan is not used as a terror base to attack either the u.s. or its allies so as these other two basic principle it's the kind of these negotiations going but we are still very far from anything that would resend the a sustainable peace deal and it's important to say that in these direct talks the government of afghanistan is not involved in that bypassing one of the most important stakeholders if you are president hadi the president of afghanistan obviously it is but it's not only. in government that is missing here and we are looking at a government that is often paralyzing itself through infighting you know so what section of the government are we actually talking about plus you also have an elite outside of the government who should be represented in talks at some point and what about the civil society what about you know women's groups groups ethnic minority

groups you know it's a very complicated conflict and also if you look at the region we're not talking only the afghan government and the taliban and the us here there are a lot of international players on this very crowded field because in the end we are not looking only at seventeen eighteen years of war we're looking at four decades of almost continuous conflict in afghanistan and you're saying talking with the taliban is essentially unavoidable but what is the political solution at the end of these talks are we going to see the taliban return to power i think that's what they are asking for a share in government and let me again emphasize so new we all need to lower. expectations and the big question here is where do we draw the line we know for a fact that at this point of time the taliban are not respecting the ethnic constitution so you know where do you draw the line what parts of the constitution could go into negotiations and where do we draw the line and say this is not

debatable you know this is going to stay which involves if you lost me human rights and specifically women's rights as one big part of it and that hasn't been defined yet so all at the moment a lot of the talks is happening behind closed doors and we would see. if these negotiations that take place at the moment about a framework are ific leave for a very quick u.s. withdrawal because that seems to be what president trump wants or if it's really condition based approach says that will take time that will take a lot of political will and patience to eventually to a sustainable peace to have used some reporting for us thank you so much for your analysis. and we will have more on the peace talks with the taliban coming up in asia a little bit later now human rights watch says the iraqi government has charged hundreds of children with terrorism because of their links to islamic state the

n.g.o.'s says the iraqis in the regional kurdish government used torture to course confessions in some cases they estimate that around fifteen hundred children are being held in detention for alleged i.a.s. affiliation. children cool shop in islamic state leave behind a world many of them were born into. most are now all friends and face an uncertain future. while some may be handed over to aid agencies there are concerns about the fate of the older boys in particular. a report by human rights watch says around fifteen hundred children are being held on terrorism charges over the border in iraq some claim they've been tortured this teenager says he has the scars to prove it at sixteen he was arrested for alleged links to i.a.s. and held for twenty two months and. they tortured me using plastic pipes.

a timely reminder that up at three child detentions violate international. law. about some other stories making headlines around the world at least sixteen people are now known to have died after a collapse of a gold mine in indonesia officials say hopes of finding any more survivors are fading it's not clear how many workers were inside the illegal mine on soloway sea island when it caved in last week. in kenya right police have dispersed striking ground staff at the main international airport in the capital nairobi hundreds of passengers face delays as flights were diverted the national flag carrier kenya airways is in dispute with the aviation workers union over contracts and job security. former nissan boss carlos going has been released from prison after putting up bail of nearly nine million dollars going is charged in japan with under reporting his salary for years and passing on personal losses to the 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 trump work on dismantling the so he facility started last year but 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 a trace is fresh sanctions if young and 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 shows. so they say that in the images they began to see activity in just week or ten days before. we've kim jong un

last week they started to see not only halting and some of the dismantlement that north korea had started last week or last year but actually a reconstruction of some of the facilities and 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 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 at least virtually told trump they would shut down and dismantle and that now appears to be being reversed so after the failed summit do you see this as another setback for negotiations on nuclear izing the korean peninsula u.s.

secretary of state might come 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 gave his dream one of the biggest supporters of engagement with north korea he was dealt something of a body blow by the failure of the troops to 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 and so this is certainly not good news for them either all right we're

just correspondent josh smith in seoul thanks for bringing us up to date you're watching news still to come how a smaller budget from amsterdam came from behind to beat the rich club from the drink in the champions league now well madrid the champions three years in a row we'll watch the rest of the tournament from home. but first fears are growing about human rights in china after the merge 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 for a sense of fences like not paying taxes or walking a dog without a leash their reports shine a light on how china is using personal data not only to boost prosperity but also to tighten control. china a fast nation 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 orders 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 wallet to their human save time to increase their efficiency to create more value jobs so i won't i suggest will not care so much about 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 it leave for listeners society so we know that data is very important for martial law really for the artificial intelligence industry at a satchel so. we know that we have to sacrifice or to contribute a certain amount of information data to the culturally for them to learn this flood of data is given 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. compiling essential 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. the world's biggest car companies are going electric at the geneva motor show currently underway in switzerland they're willing out more electric cars to meet a tougher hear a pm limits on greenhouse gas emissions that will go into effect in a year's time which is. the audi q four each trans world premiere an electric car industry tearing an image shattered by the diesel emissions scandal the english based company has been hemorrhaging customers to rivals b.m.w. and. his new c.e.o. showed is giving top priority to electrum ability to queue for each on goes on sale next year aggressively priced at forty thousand euros a bold attempt to conquer

spend knocked out of the champions league real madrid is out after a stunning loss at home i axed from amsterdam dominated the second leg in madrid to overcome a deficit and win five three on aggregate meanwhile tottenham's harry kane shined as his english club brushed aside what is legally does dortmund to advance to the quarterfinals. all right let's talk about all of that champions the action with aren't so easy from the sports art what happened to ailment and 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 leaders barcelona they were knocked out of the spanish cup copa del rey and the i don't think they ever got over the loss of christiana rinaldo who went over to you ventus and in this first leg of the of the series against i.x. of amsterdam 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 a midfield a survey 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 madrid are out so was this a case of rail being too weak or were i axed just that much better well both i mean i think 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 originated 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 crows had this to say about the match. it's disappointing to of course. we are not used to growth in this competition but. but today we have to be honest. we deserve to rhodes was was a bit of due 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 hotspur had beat them at home three nil and so they would have had to put out all the stops and they did a tour out of 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 door and more action tonight could be in for more surprises well there's a very interesting game precision man or p.s.g. is hosting manchester united the present is one in manchester to nail so they've got a comfortable lead but their 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 out anybody can pull this out of a hat he can't 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. now three stars from germany's two thousand and fourteen world
