10:07 pm
representatives reported progress in their talks on ending nearly 18 years of war in afghanistan despite an expected cobbles government remains as a mystic. continued taliban attacks indicate that they have no commitment to peace unfortunately any taliban attack will impede the peace process. more needed that pussy 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 about. so you know now we're just getting sort of it from me shin on who's been affected so we're talking when we're talking children and we're talking civilians you know these are people on their way to work they were on their way to school they would

10:09 pm
remember is locally a ceasefire you know takes 2 sides to keep 2 sides and at this point both sides are not at the table like the peace talks are between the united states and then between them all along they're not between talk at all of on the afghan government and you know we have to remember that the on 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 in within i'm almost on is that they are constantly targeting areas that are very civilian have no right they've recently. and obviously what they might be trying to. make a statement about this is on the one hand the parker see you know of the government you know also killing civilians but that's never 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
10:10 pm
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 never forget. and 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 breakthrough look. 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's been far too many months of ramadan where you know people have been suffering from these kinds of attacks since kinds of difficulties but you know i mean there's 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 of mao where in the 8 round is that the talks he sort of orbiting around these 2 points for troop
10:11 pm

10:14 pm
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 that 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 def the government cared not really it's not going to have much impact on their behavior on kashmir remains in lockdown for a 3rd day the security forces are on high alert and with many shops close residents say that they're running out of fresh food telephone and internet connections have also been cut and indian security forces imposed a curfew over the weekend with communications cut kashmiris outside the state have been unable to find out whether their families are safe our correspondent in delhi has met kashmiris living in india and sent us this report.
