kandahar treasure empowers women. when a woman earns, it gives her power beyond our understanding and imagination. women are always a liability here. their food, their clothing, their health, every aspect of their life has to be taken care of by a man figure in the household. and so now, with women having the ability to earn money, at home even, they now have an opportunity to become an asset to the family. indirectly, we're also changing the social dynamics of the society, and that is an important step to changing women's social reality in the country that we work. one cultural benefit to women in kandahar is that it is beneath the man to ask for monetary assistance from a woman. a man will not ask a woman for money because it will bring down his manhood. women, by the mere fact that they now have money in their hand, are making decisions. they're now earning side-by-side with their men, and that in itself improves self-esteem, because she now knows that she's worth something. and the mothers are now able to negotiat

the cia tracked him to kandahar, afghanistan. zarqawi hoped to meet osama bin laden. >> when he does go to kandahar to try to meet with bin laden, he's rejected. at his point, zarqawi is so low on the totem pole, and it's just something that was just beneath him. >> neither osama bin laden nor his deputy ayman al-zawahiri were terribly impressed with him. he seemed and acted like a thug. he was not very sophisticated. in fact, they considered him a rather poor recruit to al-qaeda. >> narrator: zarqawi would leave kandahar determined to continue jihad, and to prove bin laden wrong. in 2002, he saw his chance. as president bush signaled saddam hussein had to go, zarqawi moved to a terrorist camp in northern iraq. it set off alarm bells at the cia. cia operations officer sam faddis, who ran a kill/capture team, was assigned the case. >> headquarters is extremely, extremely interested. i mean, the number one time-sensitive priority, as of june '02, when i left headquarters, was go collect on this islamic extremist enclave along the i

s the -- as she said, in the beginning you could drive from kandahar, it was a little scary, might be criminals could cross your way but there were no bombs, nothing like that. so now you have to think, where do i go? you do not even tell the driver where you go in advancece. and you do not leave the city without having a point of contact prepared at the gate, when you leave the city. i mean you have to take safety measures w which you -- measurements which you have e n -- which you never did at that time. so it's definitely that the freedom of movement is so limited d and yes, it's very insecure. definitely. peter: despite the insecurity we have just been hearing about, since the end of last year, the german government has actually been organizing deportation flights carrying afghans who have been -- whose in cases for asylum here germany have been rejected, back to afghanistan. let's get a short idea of what that means for people deported from germany to afghanistan. > in kabul, he's afraid, isolated and lorenly. he was one of the first refugees to be deported back to afghanistan. h

candace trying to grab on to that but do you think this is really the argument that you know china and kandahar are really tied together by terrorism have got all of these common interests or do you think this is just a case where canada needs to up its game and gain an edge. canada right now i mean it's playing a little bit of a game to secure itself economically just because of what's happening in the states so when you hear that the nafta agreement might be going out the window and that's you know is it going is it not going with what's going to happen china for obvious canada for its own purposes has to have tighter relationships with other trade partners so the e.u. being one of course china being another and you know as well as i do the u.s. is very tied to china like it or not when it comes to their economies and trade as well so that's really a part of the game here with as for these agreements i mean we've seen this type of stuff signed all the time put into hockey you can't get really over there i'm sorry this is so illegal in the first place with everyone watching everybody you know

troops at a base in kandahar, wounding three soldiers there. none were killed.e the first fatal attack of that kind in 2017. clearly significant and as i've said earlier it comes at a time when president trump is considering deploying 5,000 more troops to afghanistan to join the roughly 8,400 already on the ground there, but the u.s. as we've seen has increased its fire power in afghanistan significantly. in fact dropping more bombs in april than any month since 2012. including and i talked about this earlier the moab, the mother of all bombs of an isis cave complex in eastern afghanistan in the same region where those three army rangers were killed, a violent region, in a country beset by war. arthel? >> john, thanks, john. >>> meantime, the white house spokesman says that president trump is keeping an eye on this disturbing attack in afghanistan. he is at his new jersey golf estate where he is spending the weekend. kristen fisher is live now near the president's home in new jersey with reaction from the administration. hello. >> hey, eric. well both the vice p

soldiers that were training, again, afghan soldiers at a base in kandahar, wounding three u.s. soldiers, before that shooter was also killed, like the shooter was today. so this wouldn't be the first of its kind, but it would be the first fatal, the first deadly green on blue incident so far this year in 2017. and as you said, it comes as president trump is weighing the option of deploying 5,000 more troops to join the roughly 8,400 already on the ground in afghanistan, a country beset by war and of course this region where three army rangers lost their lives tragically violently today. julie? julie: tragic story. john, thank you. >>> the white house says president trump is following the developments in afghanistan from his estate in new jersey. he is spending the weekend there, a few days after fired fbi director james comey's testimony. kristen fisher is live near the president's golf club in new jersey. following both developing stories tonight. what is the white house saying about this attack? >> well, president trump has been briefed and is continuing to be briefed by his

police said -- the afghan government said that he shot these soldiers today, but last week in the kandahar province, as you mentioned, three soldiers were killed and that seems to be a taliban infiltrator. so what's happening is you have these afghan command jooes thate not vetted as much as they should be. it's so important that u.s. soldiers are there to continue to train up the afghan army. they've made a lot of progress, but clearly these green on blue attacks, while they had decreased in recent years, this year has been a very big problem. >> so how do you think this will affect the debate over sending more troops to afghanistan? >> i don't know that it's going to effect the outcome. certainly it will affect the debate as people are concerned that u.s. soldiers are getting caught in the cross fire, but i think you'll hear from secretary mattis and his aides that this increases the need for the u.s. to double down. perhaps there will be more attention on vetting. perhaps there will be more attention on checking it out. the u.s. needs to continue to provide the resources, will need a bu

soldiers training afghan troops at a base in kandahar, wounding three u.s. soldiers, and that afghan shooter was also shot and killed in return fire. but if this was an insider attack again, a green-on-blue attack, it would be the first fatal one of 2017, and it comes as president trump is weighing the option of sending 5,000 more u.s. troops to afghanistan to hook up with the roughly 8,400 already on the ground there. but the u.s. has increased its firepower in afghanistan already. in fact, dropping more bombs in april, in any month in april than since 2012, including the moab, the mother of all bombs in eastern afghanistan, julie, the same region where these three army rangers were killed today. julie? julie: john huddy, thank you very much. kelly. kelly: president trump spending this weekend in bed minister, new jersey, just days after former fbi director james comey's testimony on capitol hill. the president accusing comey of lying to congress about their private conversations, and he's willing to go under oath to prove it. kristin fisher is live in bran
