9:05 pm
families that it is he has a duty of the president of the united states to do so to be here to show the communities that he is supporting their them but it's not going very well for president as we could see because he really is not welcome here in el paso by the most people most people i was able to talk to. i mean we know that trump is there in el paso so what are people telling you that they want from the president at this point. people i talked to told me that they want to a change and immigration called the seas they told me they want to stop to use what they call racist language talking about mexicans immigrants and so on and some of them even told him that even that wouldn't be enough they want him to resign. all
9:06 pm
right our correspondents are always on a phenomenal story for paso texas tonight alexandra thank you. well u.s. president donald trump's trade war with china is taking a toll on wall street the u.s. markets are down again this wednesday as investors remain nervous some surprise interest rate cuts in asia earlier in the day did not help meanwhile investors are looking for a safe haven and have driven the price of gold to a 6 year high. india the country where gold prices have soared to an all time high it was one of 3 countries to take markets by surprise on wednesday the indian central bank cut its benchmark rate by 35 basis points more than analysts expected . but india wasn't the only surprise for investors thailand's central bank unexpectedly lowered rates for the 1st time in 4 years and the reserve bank of new zealand cut the benchmark rate by 50 basis points to one percent the lowest level
9:07 pm
ever this series of rate cut decisions could be a sign the u.s. china trade war is taking its toll and central bankers are trying their best to avert recessions cutting interest rates makes money cheaper to borrow and that generally boost spending where economic activity may be stoli. some analysts say it may be too early to cut rates despite the global economic slowdown as it leaves central banks with fewer instruments to spur expansion if economies do take a downturn and. are let's take this story now to wall street our correspondent u.s. borders of the new york stock exchange good evening to you yes i mean it's been a rough ride this week for equity markets there's a lot of volatility still do we expect this week so i mean what are we talking about here in terms of the mood there on the trading floor. oh well it's
9:08 pm
a pretty wild ride there we saw a lot of almost 800 points on monday then a recovery by a good 300 points yesterday and at some point today the market again lost about 600 points but the investors and traders here are not ready to throw in the towel yet and actually today we recovered from almost all the steep losses that result earlier in trading but there would no doubt it's quite shaky and these are big losses that we've seen this week are they all talk to president trump's trade war. well i mean the trade wars or even possible currency wars what some people are talking about are definitely not helpful but also not the only reason why we see this high uncertainty we hear so many stories basically for weeks now around the globe of weaker economic growth that are not all tied to the trade policies of u.s. president donald trump so it doesn't help but it's not the only reason and goal of
9:09 pm
course seems to be in high demand are investors fleeing stocks now looking for a safe haven i mean they've got a currency war in a trade war to deal with. that's certainly what we're seeing and that is the main reason why gold just here on wednesday increased by another 2 percent but we also see the flight to safety was a treasury is sold the yield some of the u.s. a 10 year drop to the lowest level in about 3 years all over the globe and heels are dropping and there's also this sign of this flight to so-called safety and you know there's so much unpredictability right now in the global economy what do investors want to see realistically i mean what has to happen to calm the markets down. yeah it's good that you pointed to what is a realistic goal because sure people would love to see a trade deal between china and the u.s. but that does not seem very likely at this point what traders also would love to
9:10 pm
see a bit more aggressive cuts by the federal reserve that might calm the mood a little bit for a novel but i doubt that anything will happen before the next fed meeting that will take place in september so i guess we just have to live with this uncertainty for a little while longer more roller coaster rides for sure on stock markets the new york stock exchange and thank you. in afghanistan 14 people have been killed and 145 wounded by a suicide bomber in the capital kabul the taliban says it carried out the attack it raises questions about the group's commitment to peace and negotiations with the u.s. to end the war in afghanistan seem to be reaching a conclusion. it was one of the worst attacks in kabul this year the car bomb detonated at a checkpoint in front of
9:11 pm
a police station during the morning rush hour. officials say the majority of the victims were civilians including women and children the blast could be felt over much of the city just a day after the taliban and u.s. representatives reported progress in their talks on ending nearly 18 years of war in afghanistan despite an expected east deal cobbles government remains pessimistic . continued taliban attacks indicate that they have no commitment to peace unfortunately how many taliban attack will impede the peace process. more needed that policy so that the. the u.s. envoy negotiating with the taliban condemned the blast saying the focus needs to be on immediately reducing violence. arliss bring in journalist who is in kabul afghanistan now the good evening to you this bomb attack we're talking about one of the worst that we've seen in the last few months what more can you tell us
9:12 pm
about. so you know now we're just getting sort of it me shin on who's been affected so we're talking when we're talking children and we're talking civilians you know these were people on their way to work they were on their way to school they would have been going to a store or if you look at what it's from that area you know it's grieving when children there's footage of stores and of different i think even solitaire wedding hall and other sorts of you know very obviously some villian oriented places and this is really what's becoming a trend and what it's like and becoming the time it's been sort of the way things have been calling where you know places you know the excuse is there was some kind of security forces installation there that like targeted we ended up killing you know x. amount of civilian security forces people in those attacks but what ends up happening over and over and over is that it's when it's judge and civilians within the party
9:13 pm
for these sorts of the top and the taliban has claimed responsibility for this. bombing what is it hoping to achieve with this i mean it is still in the midst of peace talks with the united states. i mean the one thing we have to remember is look like a ceasefire you know chicks 2 sides. to sides and at this point both sides are not at the table like the peace talks are between the united states and there between the taliban they're not between public with all of on the afghan government and you know we have to remember that the government is also stepping up their night raids their drone strikes their air strikes that's also weeks of civilian casualties but again you know what we've been seeing from these attacks and all of on you know other arm groups in within i'm almost on is that they are honestly need targeting areas that are very severely and have been very very very recently. and obviously
9:14 pm
what they might be trying to. make a statement about this is on the one hand ocracy you know of the government you know also killing civilians but of course never a good argument to meet on either side and then on the other hand it may also just be a bargaining chip you know saying you have to negotiate with us because look at what even while we're talking to you look at the kinds of audacious things we can still carry out you know where at the table we like never forget. and only what are you hearing about the talks between the united states and the taliban i mean we've got some reports suggesting that there may be a breakthrough coming in the next few days. well the breakthrough you know the reports are that some some sort of a breakthrough. you know within the next few days of the holiday. which is a blessing for up on people because there are too many eat there going far too many months of ramadan where you know people have been suffering from these kinds of attacks and signs of difficulties but you know i mean there's
9:15 pm
a lot of rumors and i don't want to comment on the rumors because we don't know what will end up in to what will not end up happening but the one thing that we know that's consistently been happening over the last 7 rounds mao where in the 8th round is that the talks sort of orbiting around these 2 points for troop withdrawal and also the u.s. is the plane that you know the taliban can never meet up on the border safe haven for foreign terrorist will to which let's we hadn't been doing it for haiti in years they can't do it now so again we're last discussions that are really only about the trumpet ministration on the follow on you know the government's not there there's no other people other than out of on there it's ok very much she between these 2 groups are journalists let's see if it's reporting tonight from kabul afghanistan well we appreciate it thank you. are going to stay in afghanistan
9:16 pm
now but moving on to a different issue child labor no children should be at school or playing outside but a quarter of afghan children between the ages of 6 and 14 or working to support their families and the jobs that they have can be hard and dangerous and there is little regard for conditions or for their safety. you. know when the sun rises over afghanistan and these children should be on their way to school but for 10 year old cameron and his siblings it's the start of a day of grueling work. since their family has fallen on hard times the children get up before dawn to make bricks at a factory on the outskirts of couple. there was a time when my father wasn't able to earn enough money anymore so i had to start working with my father and after i started working i stopped going to school. that.
9:17 pm
cameron family comes from nangarhar province where years of fighting involving both the taliban and in a slum extended affiliate group have left many people with nothing the international labor organization says brick factory owners take advantage of this by offering loans to families who are struggling to cover lots necessities and then forcing them to work off the debt in their factories. conference fathers supports this immediate family of 8 as well as several siblings nieces and nephews. he says his entire family has to work a whole day to end the kind of money needed to pay for a bag of flour. my children wake up in the morning right have their prayers and big come here for work so we don't have time for school. these days if you don't work you cannot survive. we are far across around 16 year olds at the market. and if we don't all work we
9:18 pm
won't be able to afford to buy. a u.n. report from last year said more than $2000000.00 afghan children aged $6.00 to $14.00 were engaged in some form of child labor often at the expense of the education for cameron and many children like him going to school is the luxury they simply can't afford. and here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world a kenyan politician has been ejected from the parliament chamber after bringing her baby to work. on was ordered to leave after the speaker noticed the child in her arms during the session other lawmakers have criticized that decision hassan herself has called for the kenyan parliament to become more family friendly and believable danish authorities are investigating an explosion that rocked the

9:21 pm
hospital last words she said to me i'm not feeling better tomorrow is my appointment go there so what i'm going to go in the studio and they're the model we pissed their deployment off all of them stop at i mean people to all of our doors so she could not exis she could not reach out but the doctor we did i don't know whether my family's alive on or. not sit on the protestors have to see demands. it was the government's decision to lift the communications blackout. and relieve arrested locally to its. many young midis in delhi to walk arm study have joined in . they have had no word from home because we will never accept that this meat is not come that out of course our violent set up warning in except that we have nobody is to conform whether it's true or not which makes us all the more anxious and voted for our families and the more the state will have to answer this someone like me who is live independently for 8 years now i haven't known the feeling of
9:22 pm
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 turn up at the airport i don't know if they even to the airport to fetch me ok despite fears for their own safety if they protest openly they don't know what else to do it. as voices for and against the government decision to vote it across the country mean itself is silent a complete clampdown on john lists and a communications blackout has meant that angle feel and frightening rumors about the safety of loved ones back home run rampant was ok it was the right yet some scoff at these one claiming that any thought that's against the government's decisions are anti-national and baseless. this group pressure enough to shout down the protests against the government. of those who are you to stop the
9:23 pm
government's progress of auto what is your intent is the isis funding you are anti india foreign forces funding you what who are you. as anger boils over on both sides medias are trying to decide whether it is better to mobilize protests here. or try to reach their families. for nasir despite the death he north he have to head home he has to at least try. or earlier i spoke to lonnie from the w.'s asia desk and i asked him whether a further escalation is to be expected this is unprecedented what or india has done in kashmir and the problem for pakistan is that it is that over the years it has created a very strong domestic lobby which seems very strongly about kashmir and the government is under pressure to do something the government doesn't know really
9:24 pm
what options it has it has very limited options because the country is in or economic mess it is under pressure to stop so-called better outfits and their funding so it can go back to fueling conflict in me that was an option maybe 20 or 30 years ago that box on exercised so the options are limited and the government wants to be seen to be doing something about it taking taking it very seriously. but at the end of the day does the more the government care not really it's not going to have much impact on their behavior. and that was ages. speaking with this earlier electric scooters the time you stand up on zipping to global popularity a few weeks after their introduction here in germany about a quarter of a 1000000 of them are out on the streets i can attest to that but not everyone is convinced that these scooters are the breakthrough that they are claimed to be. together with their special someone on a new electric scooter touring 3 bolin

a moment too romantic to bother with traffic laws. but a lot of car drivers and cyclists come to the excitement. well defeat of the kind of there are so many people using them who have never ridden before who have no idea how to ride them and then they even ride them on the sidewalk and they could end up really hurting someone could this made us feel bad that more people are on the road makes it more dangerous. they just shoot out of packing spots without even looking. with a top speed of 20 kilometers per hour the fun facts are sometimes which is often commonsense rights of already ended up brooksley with abrasions bruises and sometimes even by infectious since mid june they have be more than 20 accidents in berlin alone to my small one so far most of the accidents have been caused by the east scooter drivers themselves and either they didn't understand how the east
9:26 pm
could or works or they thought they were better drivers than they actually are just because you can ride a bike doesn't mean you know how to use a nice scooter the little wheels react completely differently on the sort of extent but taxes and are not the only concern the 1st are already lying around the city some fear they will end up as a waste according to manufacturers' the skew says last year but to us today claims the average lifespan is actually only 28 days of them on line on less durable scooters. scooters that can easily be damaged by vandalism with a lifespan of 28 days is much too short because then new resources have to be used to produce new ones that's not in the interest of the environment and not in the interest of conservation. according to how. if they can completely replace trips taken by car otherwise they're nothing more than a hip toy. scooters are these things here sharks know if you're like many people
