well actually it is not is the vast majority of latin american countries are very very critical of the decision to move the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem except for guatemala and so there was a lot of concern and criticism here and certainly in south america which has a very very large arab and palestinian community when paraguayan suddenly decided to go along with water which is a small central american country. a far larger economy and and so the fallout which was much much stronger. think that this move now by paraguayan is being widely applauded in the region because it is in keeping with the vast majority of the of its other neighbors who have by the way palestinian embassies such as for example here in chile. thank you very much for that lucy in human america. non two are the news and at least twenty people have died in sixty five as have been injured in twin explosions in afghanistan this happened in a wrestling jame in the western suburbs of kabul ned speak to jennifer glass who's on the line from the afghan capital jennifer what more can you tell us about these attacks. t
