he was in rome don't tell me that their team after show. and the joint you come off in the morning. resumed the cincinnati's honest calm. how did the romantic master has such a piece of. the promise code. on d w enough. this is a show coming up childhoods consumed by walt that's the grim reality for many of our promise on children who've known nothing else. does anyone have a plan to help them be speaking to an analyst in kabul also coming up. for their mainland protesters in hong kong by attacking businesses i mean chinese

all sympathetic to the beating government plus. the demons of. traditions from the fall. of the problems to festivals. i'm going to welcome to dr news asia it's good to have you with us afghanistan has been a wall for 18 years i'm with it so have its children an entire generation of 18 year olds for instance has known nothing but wall their stories are illustrated in statistics that are even more sobering in just 3 years for example between 2015 and 20012500 children were killed. all maimed in violence more than

3700000 children roughly the population of berlin are out of school these are statistics that bear themselves out every day on the streets in afghanistan. 13 year old tommy don't know works as a shoeshine or instead of going to school 11 year old sabir sells dried fruits some couples streets there are just 2 of the afghan children who've been robbed of an education because of war a 1000 years ago the 911 terrorist attacks led to the u.s. invasion of afghanistan the beginning of a military campaign that's now the longest in u.s. history today every child who was born and grew up in the country has never experienced peace. peace is like a dream to us in afghanistan. peace comes to afghanistan we will be able to develop our economy through mining for example business development.

even my mentioning. just for. a photo which is full of. happiness happiness or 2 words came from education. which is people are not. blaming everything on each other for many afghan children the conflict has meant destruction fear and poverty and the u.n. says child casualties increased sharply in the year since 2015. that was when the taliban started stepping up its attacks seizing territory across the country the riyadh of jais insurgency coincided with afghan forces taking over combat choose he's from foreign troops the taliban's now the most powerful it's been since its regime was overthrown in 2001. children have also been hit hard by airstrikes by

u.s. and afghan government force says. this is still a very intense conflict and way too many civilians being killed and injured by all parties u.s. and taliban negotiations held talks during the past year raising hopes of an imminent peace deal until a serious of taliban attacks in september led to the u.s. a properly ending the negotiations the 2 sides could still reach a truce but afghanistan will struggle to overcome its internal divisions. leaving the children whose lives have been ruined by war facing an adult also ply said by conflict. and joining us now from kabul is political analyst harder on me i don't need a thank you so much for being on the program it's been 18 years since most children

in afghanistan had a normal childhood do the recently conducted elections offer some hope of peace. yes indeed initially there was a. serious doubt about the election because there were security threats and also there was so i'm going negotiation between the united states and the car when a lot of people were thinking the election is secondary and the peace process is the priority for the united states and no fortunately at this point all these challenges you were able to hold the election you know wanted because of the initial election that so is the result of. many years of conflict in afghanistan we should look at afghanistan not just in the past 18 years but we have to look back. at the summer of 1979 when this will be it's invaded afghanistan so. it was very crucial for our afghans to hold elation because.

ultimately breastfeed and democracy political process is in the interest of all afghans in the election and you know public you know who understand is something that all our guns are wishing for are dark and i'm a time to sentiment but then i do you actually believe that holding one election when wipe away the internal divisions that exist in afghan society and above all of gun politics this is due for a presidential election in afghanistan the 1st one in 2004 the 2nd was in 2931 was in 2014 so slowly i think the. political process and the crucial in vital institutions are taking root in afghanistan and they are becoming essential for peace and stability in afghanistan

because we. unfortunately experienced chaos you know honest and in 1000 nineties when there was no central government in kabul functioning when there is no there were no institutions and we were in no internal fight and did terrorist taken advantage of that time and we don't want to repeat again history in afghanistan you want to move forward to move forward in built on the foundations that were laid down in the going to constitution back in 2000. 902003 so it is essential for us to build on well to be of achieved in the past 18 years and move forward and illusions and i understand are crucial because it is that continuity that we need to know when it's done right let's go let's go back to something that you mentioned a while back you called of the peace process between the taliban and the u.s. the u.s. has poured out of it donald trump. has country out of it where do things stand now

is everything dead in the water. no this whole peace process is a priority for afghans as well so we all anderson and there's a consensus and i'm honest and i brought that. there has to be a political 6 years who should probably conflict in afghanistan because government and the military impasse and also the taliban must be integrated into the political process so there is this constant is in the country and i think the peace process will become a top priority for the next i'm going to government and we all afghans are willing in and. we should restore be inscribed in dialogue and this is essential because only an interim afghan dialogue will lead us to a sustainable and just peace in afghanistan an offer that comes a sonar rather than later harumi political analyst joining us from kabul thank you very much for your analysis.

protesters in hong kong have found a new target for their anger against the chinese government businesses that either run from the mainland or of link stewart going to spawn and materials booming go to ports. protesters attack a china mobile shop in the past few days dozens of businesses in hong kong have been vandalized during clashes protesters talk of companies from the mainland such as the state owned telecom providers the big chinese banks and other industries tied to the beijing government thank god there are less obvious choices like this famous us coffee thanks starbucks has been one of the top targets this one has been vandalized twice 1st they trashed the entrance then and then next day the

and hope that they will be targeted a 3rd time. well there figures you're seeing behind me are those of the demon king. 10 headed symbol of evil and one which is burned every year across india the festival of the shadow the burning of the effigies attracts thousands of people as you can probably imagine but before they are burnt the effigies are painstakingly cut prepared and painted and. robin has many faces the 10 had a demon god is the ultimate villain of hindu mythology i think you're so fearsome at the g.'s are modeled in his image every year so they can be burned in a symbolic victory of good over evil it's a ritual that dates back centuries. it's a long held tradition our ancestors our elders many of whom have passed away used

to make these effigies us youngsters are following in their footsteps and continuing the tradition. of. crafting the effigies is painstaking work taking skilled artists and about 3 months 1st they split shave and bend tons of bamboo to create the skeleton of the structure. this is fun for me because we're making revenue it's an art form not everyone can perform that makes me feel good. players the paper are then added before the demon comes to life with paint. and then robin's ready for the big event. for the sherif the effigies are the did with firecrackers and sent up in flames. a spectacular warning to do no evil.
