starts aug 19th on. line from the taliban. despite peace talks to protect civilians also on the program. remains. special autonomous. trade and diplomatic relations with the. citizens of dayton ohio tell president.

here. to offer his condolences following the mass shooting in which 9 people. working to stop dying. to keep them up. to the program we start in afghanistan when at least 14 people have been killed and $145.00 wounded by a suicide bombing in the capital kabul the taliban says it carried out the attack which said to smoke in the city. police station and military school the majority of the victims are thought to be civilians. the united states to withdraw its troops from. mr.

w.'s us under president has reported extensively on the afghan war can tell us more welcome. let's start by putting these 2 events together but the taliban currently in the middle of peace talks with the united states so why carry out this bombing i think it's about leverage at the negotiation table if we just look at this months of july if i can share the statistics with you with the u.n. has just put the knowledge in the month of july alone we saw more than 1500 civilian casualties that is killed and injured and that means almost 50 casualties a day that is because of a big spike in a text like the one today we saw in kabul but also we see a rise in let's say air raids and nitrate so everybody is power mongering because that is about leverage at the negotiation table taliban want to prove look we can strike the heart of the capital at any point of time we want to and surely if you

are exploding detonating born bomb as happened today even if you do that in front of a police station all recruitment center for the police you are meant to hit civilians because it is in the middle of the capital you know and there are civilians moving around this was a rush hour traffic kids going to school women going shopping men going to work so yes you kill people essentially but you say it's about leverage but if they if the taliban says we won't kill civilians and then kill civilians there would mean nothing yes that's one way of looking at it they would say look this is what other people call civilian casualties happening this is the cost of war this is how we collectively average yes it's collateral damage and the others are causing collateral damage to and they were very quick today to claim this attack because we have moved if we look at doha in. to

a very decisive face there looks like things are being wrecked up in doha in fact the u.s. chief negotiator has already left it's just technicalities left so you know it's like small teams discussed in tiny bit of detail and from what we hear is the next step will be a meeting in berlin scheduled for friday so us and what hala is that will come to the german capital and then things might move on to hospital and what we would see there is really really crucial that might mean a more meaningful start off you know intra negotiations meeting also government representatives and that's not one bit about it this is sort of pre-negotiation this is just the taliban of united states the afghan government has had no part in these negotiations of them we had 8 rounds of negotiations between the u.s. and the taliban and the afghan government really is also quite angry about this because they feel neglected and then one has to keep in mind that the government we're talking about is also a blogger heads there's

a lot of infighting and the taliban are refusing to talk to the government they say 1st we must see an agreement with the u.s. about troop withdrawal and everything else comes off to show. looks like even though there are there there's there's still this car bomb today it looks like the peace process is moving in the right direction or are being too i'm still a little bit hesitant to call it to peace process i would call it framework negotiations that might lead us to the road to peace because this force us and taliban it still is and we might see an agreement very soon it looks like it you know there are a lot of promising tweets a lot of media chatter happening at the moment but i think we should be rather careful not to mistake whatever agreement is reached between the u.s. and the taliban with peace in afghanistan because that is something that only the afghans can decide upon and they haven't been part of this as of now it's very

clear under president thank you so much. pakistan has downgrading its diplomatic relations with india as a result of the indian government's move to bring folks the autonomy of the part of kashmir it controls pakistan is also suspending trade and one report says it has expelled india's envoy to islam about kashmir remains in lockdown for a 3rd day with security forces on high alert but many shops closed residents say they are running out of fresh food telephone and internet connections of also big cuts in indian security forces imposed a curfew over the weekend. nasir is on has a real home. he does not know if he will be back because he does not know if he will survive. is a police under lockdown ever since in just the special autonomy status the state has enjoyed for 70 years. on his way to nasr stopped by this protest held

in solidarity because he. lost he could see days ago that his mother was speaking on well he does not know if she made it to the hospital last words she said to me i'm not feeling better tomorrow is my appointment good. and bad tomorrow we passed the deployment. so she could not. she could not reach out for the doctor i don't know whether my family's alive or. not sit on the protesters have to leave demands. it was the government's decision to lift the communications blackout. arrested locally to. many young in delhi to work and study have joined in. they have had no word from home because we will never accept that the speed is not come that out of ports of islands and up water in except that we have nobody is taken from further it's to our not which

makes us all the more anxious and worried for our families and the more the state will have to answer this someone like me was living dependently for 8 years now i haven't known the feeling or phone sickness for you and it's for the 1st time you need to use that i'm feeling homesick that i want to go home because my parents don't know why i didn't own up at the airport i don't know if they even to the airport to fetch me ok despite feels for their own safety if they protest openly they don't know what else to do. as voices for and against the government decision to vote great across the country mean itself is silent a complete clamp down on john list and a communications blackout has meant that anger feel and frightening rumors about the safety of loved ones back home run rampant was ok it was over yet some scoff at these one claiming that any protest against the government's decision and i'm ashleigh and being stress. this group pressure not to shout down

the protests against the government. those who are you to stop the government's progress of auto what is your intent is the isis funding you are anti india foreign forces funding you who are you. as anger boils over on board which medias are trying to decide whether it is better to mobilize drop tests here. or try to reach their families. for nasa despite the risks he knows he has to head home he has to at least try. to. rejoin. welcome song and let's start with this decision by pakistan it already denounced and just moves illegal now it's a nonsense decision to downgrade diplomatic relations with delhi what effect will this have. well phil it's difficult to say say at this stage

what effect this will have but of course it's fair to say the ties have already really been strained between india and pakistan and that you know the latest surprise move by the indian government this this week to strip off the special status hasn't really helped matters and to these diplomatic developments of course come a day off the pakistani prime minister said that this latest move in kashmir and will have serious repercussions but of course we have to remember that kashmir is really a long running flashpoint between these 2 nuclear neighbors india and pakistan have really been locked in conflict over this region for decades they have waged several wars over it both both countries claim the region in its entirety but control only parts of it and of course there is on the indian side the long running insurgency which is cause the life india routinely accuses pakistan of supporting insurgent groups it's a claim that pakistan denies and so we're having results kashmir's autonomous status mongery india is now breaking the straits of juggling kashmir into 2 can

explain to us what the reasoning behind that is. when we have to remember that india's ruling party the part of our party the hindu nationalist party led by prime minister in the in the body it has repeatedly in various election manifesto has pledged to really scrap bush leaves special status the party has long argued that article $370.00 this is the law that guarantees kashmir to its special status and autonomy to say this is long been the biggest obstacle to really integrating this region fully with the rest of india and they say that this latest step will really help spur investment and growth which is badly needed in the region and this is this will eventually be of the path for peace and national unity and what sort of reaction has this provoked. well so you know the rank and file of the b.g.p. and the many supporters of prime minister narendra modi have really kind of in

terms the ascii applaud of this move but critics on the other hand of really slammed this as unconstitutional illegal some of called it an assault on democracy they've been you know scattered solidarity protests and marches and in different indian cities like the one you saw in your report in delhi and ordinary kashmiris i think are really very angry they feel a sense of betrayal by the indian government and the broader fears you're relieved that this move would really stalk for the indian nation in kashmir which has really seen you know violent from bloodshed for many decades. we're talking just like you saw in your family in delhi thank you take a look now at some the other stories making news around the world authorities in denmark are investigating a explosion that rocked the headquarters of the national tax agency on tuesday night police said the trees in the blast as an attack 2 people were inside the building when it happened nobody was injured. british airways says resolved to

individual collections. bought some antiquities from people who collects them because this museum was established by personal efforts and at the expense of my children's bread i bought more than one piece and i put them in this museum to protect them. while lead began storing artifacts in 1975 he runs one of 5 registered private collections in gaza people running their own museums are monitored by causes tourism ministry. they gave us a document noting that we own these collections that we have the right to preserve them and add to the collection but with no right to trade them. anymore outside. the ministry has opened a public museum with several 100 pieces on display they have plans for a national collection but the ongoing blockade of gaza means the project is on hold

. but the ministry has plans to build a large national museum for all these archaeological pieces that the political and economic situation and the siege on gaza are preventing this. until that changes conservation work is vital at every level to help preserve the heritage stretching back more than 5000 he is. the world's remaining barrier reef need urgent help that's according to a recent call to action by unesco which says warming sea temperatures resulting from climate change are taking a big toll one country making progress is belize which has the world's 2nd largest coral reef lie off its coast the country has now passed laws to safeguard its reefs and conservationists found that painstaking work can nurse the underwater world back to health. with its breathtaking beauty believe is

a paradise on earth that was almost lost. the country's most prized possession lies under water the incredible biodiversity of its 7000 year old coral reef the 2nd largest in the world the reef was dying but it's now gradually being brought back to life monique vernon is one of those fighting on its behalf. well i feel like when i look at work it's like. when they call me and say all right we're going to all do this laughing work here check the corals here whatever it is i am like all right let's do this let's let's wrap this let's wrap the day beneath the surface it's clear why the reef is struggling the corals been dying off the seawater is too warm to acidic and the frequent hurricanes have wreaked havoc here climate change is turning everything gray together with marine biologist lisa car

and the fragments of hope organization monique is rebuilding the corals. overdue and so there's no time to waste right now roads are basically like the forest in the seas so just like the trees in the forest provide a habitat so there for so many other animals the corals didn't seem on the reef very meticulously after much research and careful selection they take a few fragments of some especially hardy quick growing corals then they plant them in new places several times a week they place the coral pieces in the prepared cement as they need to secure foundation. around 80 percent of the fragments survive these ones have been growing for 18 months life is returning and attracting more life with it the reef protectors work is financed by project money and donations they proudly show us the results of 8 years' work the corals here have increased from 6 percent to over 50

percent all the hard work is worth it the reef has been able to recuperate. this is not solving the climate change craze it are going to do is a little be ended by no some time for the course of the people here i see it's all about political will i think we can do it is if we have all if we have the people behind us hurricane season is about to begin from on each that means that the coral has to be established enough to withstand any storm that comes its way. skateboarders in cuba don't have an easy ride with no official support and their equipment often confiscated by the least they rely on donated boards and practice on homemade ramps but they're hoping the sports olympic debut in tokyo 2020 will flip their fortunes. they finally have a place to skate it's been 9 years now since local skaters here started posting

videos with a view of raising funds for a skate park they received donations from south america europe and the united states and have now built their own sanctuary in an abandoned building. so well you know you can't skate on the streets you're only allowed to do it here if you get caught on the street the police put you in jail and this park is the only place they leave us alone. skate parks in cuba are few and far between and they're mostly in a state of disrepair but that is not the only stumbling block. was one in cuba there aren't any shops that sell skateboards so i try to build them myself and hope for donations. to. the quitman can only be bought on the black market and prices are high but audio gomez hopes that skateboarding's olympic debut at tokyo 2020 will help get the government on board. the sort of the market

makes me think that we could improve if the government gave us some attention our community is still small but it can grow and even now we already have some real talent. and i think for now it's still a pipe dream but in the future one of these cases may represent cuba at an olympic games. now a chance for you to feel sorry for sharks new research has found that human activity is the biggest factor affecting shark populations report by the zoological society of london. shocks of been pushed away from coastal towns and cities and further out to sea researchers also found the shocks body size is significantly smaller in communities is that living near human populations are discovered to remote locations with a brain produces congregate but these habitats are often not in protected areas under under threat from the fishing industry. we have next here on the
