because we can't stay in venezuela. closely local news that matters. made for martin's. this is news lot from pushing for peace in afghanistan the u.s.'s 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. 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 peace moves with the u.s. . hundreds of children are charged with terror a report alleges a rocky and kurdish officials tortured children to force them to confess suspected allegiance to the so-called islamic state. and in football a stunning development in the champions league defending champs real madrid are out there are limited by acts of answered out 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 in the eastern city of jalalabad the a saw. 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 the 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 why more in 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 bad foreign influence from the country in one thousand nine hundred ninety six the taliban seized 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 two thousand and fourteen leaving a small contingent to train afghan security forces. the taliban use this to their advantage by taking back large parts of the country. or. can 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 conflict 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 bakeries 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 as i can buy and suicide attacks bomb blasts protection wards why are 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 sad truth is that we have almost half of the country being either controlled or contested by tun 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 lower our expectations you know the americans did that because they accepted to talk to the taliban and the taliban in a way also did that because they seem 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 these are the two basic principles that kind of got these negotiations going but we are still very far from anything that would resemble a sustainable peace deal and it's important to say that in these direct talks the government of afghanistan is not involved isn't 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 faction of the government are we actually talking about plus you also have an afghan 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 u.s. you're there are a lot of international players on this very crowded battlefield 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 go. our

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 after the 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 it would see. if these negotiations that take place at the moment about a framework are effective for a very quick u.s. withdrawal because that seems to be what president trump wants or if it's really a condition based approach that will take time that will take a lot of political will and patience to eventually lead to

a sustainable peace to give us some pictures man reporting for us thank you so much for your analysis and we will have more on the peace talks with the taliban coming up on 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 ngo says iraqis in the regional kurdish government used torture to coerced confessions in some cases they estimate around fifteen hundred children are being held in detention for alleged i.a.s. affiliation. children caught up 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 on a solution they tortured me using plastic pipes. they said confess what you with us and i told them i wasn't. but they forced me to confess in order that they put out cigarettes on me. this woman's thirteen year old son is still missing every man and my son has nothing to do with i asked he was not trained by us but people thought he was because his father was. the iraqi police said it's just an interview and will bring him back he's been gone for four months i want to know what happened to him is he alive or dead human rights watch says thousands of children were recruited by us in iraq as the jihadist took over large swathes of

the country some were forced to join others did so because they were hungry or felt they had no other choice. as the evacuation from islamic states final enclave continues this report is a timely reminder that up at three child detentions violate international. let's catch up on 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 fake it's not clear how many workers were inside the illegal mine on the island when it caved in last week. and former nissan boss carlos going has been released from prison after putting up bail of nearly nine million dollars goannas 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 he 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 donald trump work on dismantling the so hey facilities 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 it faces fresh sanctions if pyongyang 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. just week or ten days before trump met with 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 but they did not see which was any evidence to 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 furtively 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 day nuclear rising the korean peninsula u.s.

secretary of state might come 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 has been one of the biggest supporters of engagement with north korea he was dealt something of a body blow by the failure of the trying to summit and this latest news on the rocket side there will certainly cause him more problems as he tries to reach out to japan has also continued to raise concerns about north korea's continued weapons development so this is certainly not good news for them either all right workers

correspondent josh smith in seoul thanks for bringing us up to date. if you're watching news still to come how a smaller budget club for master them came from behind to beat the rich club from madrid in the champions league now around the drive to champions three years in a row will watch the rest of the tournaments from home. our first earlier this year germany rolled out a plan to tackle a big shortage of care workers the government wants to find ten percent more trainees by twenty twenty three now bosnia is one country that's training nurses and sending them to germany and other e.u. countries but a scandal is threatening to damage the nurse's reputation and sarajevo one nurse is outraged that some of her colleagues allegedly bought their credentials she says that puts her reputation and cumin lives at risk. mirela calls it her dream job for twelve years she's worked in

a state run home for the aged in sarajevo and she loves it she's highly qualified but the job pays just five hundred euros a month. only a lot going on you have to finish nursing school and that's when i see easy and if you want to land a spot to study there you have to have excellent grades in school and then the training program takes four years to complete. renowned for their nursing excellence bosnian nursing staff are also sought after abroad in western european countries but now a scandal has tarnished the reputation of bosnian schools. investigative journalist as are all made of it discovered that several schools in bosnia have sold diplomas to people with no training at all she uncovered the fraud by posing as an interested client. that's all i got

i called and asked if they could help me out with retraining. a man said sure and we met up the next day right here where we're sitting now. he told me to bring two thousand five hundred bosnian marks and my graduation certificate and then he'd be able to arrange everything. it took exactly seventeen days for me to get the diploma after that first phone conversation based. on marriage and her editorial department secretly filmed her interactions with the fraudster and confronted him when he gave her the diploma the public health employee refused to name any of his backers. news like that makes me really angry she knows better than anyone how even experienced nurses can make a mistake. with potentially fatal consequences but i want to put in on it it's playing with people's lives this is a job with

a huge amount of responsibility an unqualified person taking responsibility for someone's life i could never do that why on earth would someone do something like that all matter of it and her colleagues discovered the diploma she had bought wasn't just a cheap copy of a real one it included certificates and documentation backing it up for an employer would never have been able to determine it wasn't authentic that journalists accused bosnian or thora to use that being connected to the criminal enterprise. the scandal is a disaster for nursing schools that play by the rules. of time listening to all of us this line of this is pointless we study in the school for four long years to take a diploma and hopefully find a job in the field then they come and get the same thing in two weeks. diligent tick-tock it just doesn't make sense. but. the police

informed the state prosecutor's office in sarajevo about the case four months ago so far it hasn't reacted. says she's never considered working abroad but for other nursing school graduates who dream of a job in western europe the fraud has made landing one a much tougher proposition. to sports now and the best football club in europe for three years now has been knocked out of the champions league well madrid is out after a stunning loss at home i axed from amsterdam dominated the second leg in madrid to overcome a deficit and to win five three on aggregate meanwhile in the other match of the night at tottenham's harry k. knocked when asked this english club brushed aside wonderfully the leaders dortmund to advance to the quarterfinals. all right let's talk about all of that champions the action with aren't so easy from sports aren't 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 christiana rinaldo who went over to your 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 goals were scored already very early in the first half. and daveed 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 two one win for i.x.

of amsterdam and 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 the real madrid players at least four or five top players they know that no christian or naldo is they're not going to have the same kind of success and also the dutch decided to play what they 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 cross had this to say about the match. it's disappointing to the. young men used to grow in this competition. but today we have to be honest. we deserve to grow its thing i outsource was a bit. 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 three nil 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 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 preachings one in manchester to nail so they've got a comfortable lead but their german coach thomas tuco 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 source pronounced that right he is a norwegian international who 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 the from date of use for thank you very much. now the world's biggest car companies are going electric at the geneva motor show currently underway in switzerland they are rolling out more electric cars to meet tougher european limits on greenhouse gas emissions that will go into effect in a year's time we took a look. at 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. he's a new c.e.o.
