Suicide bombers in afghanistan have stolen Cultural Center and news agency in the Afghan Capital killing at least forty people and now that eighty four were wounded many of them suffering the attack came as the send out of state a Panel Discussion on the anniversary of the soviet invasion of afghanistan i still has claimed responsibility for the attack youre going to reports. Explosions followed by a rush to assist the injured and count the victims. Its become a familiar ritual especially in kabul where the Afghan Capital has seen its share of bombings this year this time the target was a shiite muslim Cultural Center and the neighboring Afghan Voice News Agency rid of them would after i saw many dead in the area i was looking for my cousin but i couldnt find his body im not sure what happened but the number of dead is increasing. The interior Ministry SaysSuicide Attackers set off an explosion outside the center then stormed it and set off more explosives in the basement it was midday on thursday and a group had gathered to commemorate the anniversary of the one nine hundred seventy nine soviet invasion of afghanistan the middle of a cover just when the explosion went off we skipped from the room where we were working and went to the rooftop we sold a small in flames coming from the basement. Taliban immediately issued a statement denying involvement. An analyst tells his era given that this attack was in a shiite neighborhood this appears to be the work of eisele. He says the armed group has been targeting the Shiite Community this year as well as Media Outlets the isis you know what is in order to make him our media has not been providing them enough amount of coverage that they have been seeking juliet activities and so they have been targeting the Media Outlets as here in capital kabul as well as in the region in order to make sure they get y. C. Is raised. In may a truck bomb killed more than one hundred fifty people in kabul in what has been described as one of the worst attacks in recent memory afghans are trapped by violence from eisel and the taliban and what critics say is the inability of Security Forces to protect them. Anger has led to protests and calls for resignations in the government analysts say what i saw lacks the numbers it makes up for in tactics. An orchestra but the sophistication of the operation and the amount of exactness impreciseness in the air operations that do usually target with little the strength or little amount of import that create a lot of their jobs achieving their strategic objectives the people at the Cultural Center were looking back and remembering a dark time or black day as its called in afghanistan when the soviets invaded for the families of the victims thursdays attack has become another black day natasha going to aim to zero. Well news from yemen the United Nations is saying that sixty eight civilians were killed in two separate strikes by the Saudi Led Coalition in just one day the first irate on tuesday as a crowded market province killing fifty four civilians including eight children the second killed fourteen people from the same family in the province of how data in to gather saudi led as strikes have killed one hundred nine civilians in the past ten days according to the un humanitarian coordinator in yemen he accuses all sides in the war showing complete disregard for human life now children are increasingly being used both as targets and weapons of war according to a report by unicef it says the suffering of children in conflict zones has reached shocking levels the report says children have become front line targets and often used as human shields rape and in slave meant to become standard tactics an increasing number of being recruited to fight in west africa the Group Boko Haram used an estimated one hundred thirty five child suicide bombers in twenty seventeen the conflict in yemen has been one of the worst for children this year with five thousand killed or injured in a sample so says there is widespread and blatant disregard for International Laws designed to protect young people on a hoax. This school in mosul stands empty this street makes for dangerous playground as snipers threaten overhead this is what childhood looks like for these families over the course of this year children in conflict zones like here in iraq have been singled out and attacks unicef says those involved in conflict a blatantly disregarding International Humanitarian law is designed to protect the most Vulnerable Children as normal now that you can target a hospital a group of doctors in syria told me recently when i was in northern turkey how the armed groups wouldnt even come near the hospital because the hospital was more of a target than the armed groups so hospitals and schools are being deliberately attacked children are being brutalized and it feels like all the rules in war as you say that used to at least protect civilians and children in particular in these terrible wars have all disappeared finally some light relief for people in rebel held eastern go to in damascus after four years of being trapped in middle of the fighting a few patients with Urgent Medical needs have been allowed to leave. Unicef warns millions of children are also become in direct casualties of conflict from being displaced as well as being made homeless this refugee camp in bangladesh is home now for him to refugees from my ma of which four hundred thousand children children who stood by while our soldiers are right on their mothers or shot their father even brutalizes children or selves and theyre saying to those children that they deliberately doing this. In Eastern Ukraine many children live by the frontline they share the scars of living in one of the most modern contaminated place on earth. The situation is worse in yemen where aid agencies struggling to help. Forty thousand children have been killed or injured and many more severely malnourished risk of death a similar situation is unfolding in the democratic republic of congo where violence has driven hundreds of thousands of kids from their homes unicef is appealing to all parties involved in conflicts around the world to stand together and protect the rights of children. As there are. So discuss this further im joined by karen who is unicef humanitarian spokesman he joins us live from new york thank you very much for speaking to us now you report spans conflict zones all around well but one place we dont hear about often enough is the democratic republic of congos were hearing just at the end of that report that in the case i read you have some eight hundred fifty thousand children whove been driven from their homes i think three hundred fifty thousand have suffered from acute malnutrition these figures are staggering how has the situation becomes so if the children in this part of the day aussie. This first of all twenty seven has been a nightmare year for children in conflicts and as you or incredible reporting just just showed been in the d. R. Congo in the castle region this was a rapid. Escalation of violence early this year where we saw more than four hundred schools attacked we saw clinics attacked and overrun and people just simply had to run into the bush to avoid being killed we saw many deaths Sexual Violence and children and their families left without any food and hence that terrible moment you trish and right and again what weve seen there is that those who take up the fighting are deliberately attacking children and families or just not caring and moving ahead with their military tactics whatever the cost to children so in the deep sea where as you say we dont hear about it very much people are incredibly Vulnerable Children are incredibly vulnerable when the dogs of war on least in afghanistan almost seven hundred children were killed in the first nine months of the year what was the main cause of that. Well in afghanistan again you see a return of conflict if it ever ended in and people around the world will not necessarily think that violence against children and families is almost at an all time high in terms of the numbers of children being killed and so this is a continued insurgency renewed insurgency as we we heard on your recent reports of bomb attacks even today in built up urban areas with families our students were at this event that was bombed today in afghanistan so again targeting students targeting children and taking military action with where parties know that civilians will be and children will be schools hospitals Community Centers being targeted children are being targeted in afghanistan or worst the worst year on record for children in south sudan another place that really doesnt get the attention it deserves you have a very bad Economic Situation that you have famine thats been declared in parts of the country youve got thousands of kids that have been killed and or injured but then you have nineteen thousand children that have been recruited into armed forces and armed groups tell us about that. You know weve weve just marked more than four years of this conflict in south sudan the worlds newest nation and it has an enormously young population and should be the source of great hope and rather than the then protecting children rather than giving them hope for the future theyre being attacked the being abducted forced into by the armed forces and the armed groups and there is a plethora there are many armed groups across south sudan and that conflict has been reported in many places often has an ethnic dimension to it so children are being forced into these armed groups have been forced into brutal conduct and his extreme lee hard when families lose lose their children because they are often abducted into these groups and their childhoods are being stolen from them this is not inevitable governments around the world are sometimes involved in this and armed groups are involved in this they must be required to stop instrumental lies in children abducting children forcing them to become fighters they are children not soldiers and this can be stopped and thats what unicef is appealing today to those parties fighting the wars but also to the Security Council of the United Nations into any powerful member state supporting fighting groups and governments protect children make fighting groups and governments abide by their obligations under the law protect the most Vulnerable People in the world children yeah and that obligation is that perhaps the most crucial message from this report thank you very much caring to wire for unicef and new york thank you very much. Are you watching the news hour much want to tell you about on the Program President trump china on twitter saying its been caught redhanded allowing oil into north korea. The palestinian girl who went viral filmed slapping Israeli Soldiers appears in military court. And stripped a victory one of sailings most famous races has a new wenna laughed the details ahead with tatiana. Also news from syria now aid workers are evacuating critically ill patients from eastern besieged rebel held area near the capital damascus sixteen people have now left as part of a deal with the government under which the rebels are releasing a number of their prisoners but at least one person is refusing fearing arrest by the Assad Government last month the u. N. Calls five hundred people in need of Urgent Medical care to be allowed to leave but only twenty nine cases have been given approval so far and at least eighteen people have died whilst waiting. Hundreds of thousands of children are among the more than one million syrians whove been sheltering in lebanon after escaping the long war in the country most syrians sheltering in lebanon are living in refugee camps and a holder of ports from one of these camps in the bekaa valley. Tells her grandchild that they will return to syria one day but she doesnt know when that will happen four year old i was born in a refugee camp in lebanon the family is from the city of brick which was reduced to rubble in the war. And we cant go back to syria our home has been destroyed our fields are littered with mines we want to return but how can we survive there. Surviving in lebanon is not any easier the United Nations says many refugees are more vulnerable than ever more are falling deeper into poverty many depend on aid to survive and most are in debt their numbers have not increased in years lebanon has tightened its borders and made it harder for syrians to enter the country in two thousand and fourteen the number of refugees surpassed one million a year later the number increased by two hundred thousand by the end of last year that number dropped by around one hundred ninety thousand and now the number is below one million until today about fifty thousand Syrian Refugees have already travelled have already departed from lebanon to third countries through such programs but of course could also be because Syrian Refugees have moved on from lebanon through their own or through different opportunities to third countries. Also we know that since the beginning of two thousand and seventeen a few thousand Syrian Refugees have returned to syria there are no exact numbers of those going back to syria but the u. N. Believes that conditions for a safe return are not yet in place for many returning is not an option they hide their identities because theyre scared some are wanted by the syrian government. Working with the opposition others fear arrest they defected from the army because they didnt want to fight and there are those who dont want to return to avoid conscription and the army this area of government and its allies are regaining more and more territory fighting is stopped in some areas cease fires and what is known as reconciliation deals are being reached but for the opposition there is no reconciliation with a government that has killed so many people just to stay in power. Some however are so desperate that theyre ready to make peace at whatever cost. All those involved in the conflict should work to end these conflict and ask president Bashar Al Assad to forgive and forget and forgive me and let us go back home once and for all were tired of this. Many wont agree with the opposition continues to demand the removal from power that could be more years in exile and with the way the war is going for some it could mean never returning to syria. Because lebanon the u. S. President donald trump is accusing china of violating u. N. Sanctions against north korea by continuing to sell oil to pyongyang. Redhanded very disappointed that china is allowing oil to go into north korea that will never be a friendly solution to the north korea problem if this continues to happen our White House Correspondent has more from washington d. C. Chinas denying the accusations that the president made on twitter you have to sometimes decipher why and what has prompted donald trump to go to twitter and often this is when he feels that an issue isnt being covered adequately in his view in the media he will tweet knowing that then in turn we will take a look and see what hes talking about and this is a really good example of that if you go back to the u. S. Treasury website last month youll see that it first called attention to these satellite images that said that it had of chinese ships applying oil to north korean ships in the west see now apparently these satellite images put out by the u. S. Treasury department were taken october nineteenth but again it didnt get a whole lot of Media Attention even though the United States says that this is a violation of sanctions that were put in place specifically speaking to this by the u. N. Security council in september so perhaps its a little bit of frustration on that level and frustration too by the president that hes tweeting this given the fact that when he first came into office in january he immediately began to address the situation of north Koreas Nuclear program by investing heavily in the relationship with chinese president xi hosting the mara lago speaking enormously about the investment that was being made in the hope that china would use economic leverage to limit the north Korean Program but in recent weeks and months weve seen some restoration with that while the Treasury Department says there have been some success with china helping to isolate north korea from the Global Financial system again there is some frustration by the United States with examples like this of these satellite images so well china is denying these charges saying that there have been no u. N. Security Council Violations as far as its concerned the u. S. Sees it differently and now we see the frustration playing out on twitter by the president donald trump. Well in all the developments in the us a judge in alabama has rejected a last ditch appeal by republican roy moore to challenge the outcome of the u. S. Senate election that he unexpectedly lost his rival doug jones has been such a fight for the senate seat becoming the first democrat in twenty five years to hold the post white alleged voter fraud tonight him victory in the december poll but his legal challenge was thrown out the u.

Now peru is bracing for more protests on thursday over a president ial pardon granted to formulate alberto fishing nori many see the pardon as part of a backroom deal struck to protect the current president from impeachment demonstrations a capital lima this week turned violent protest as clash with police mori was serving a twenty five year prison term for corruption human rights abuses before he was pardoned on sunday on Health Grounds on wreak a men desire is an independent research and the founder of the blog on think tank c joins me now live via skype from the peruvian capital lima thank you very much for speaking to us could you give us a sense of how large and how widespread these protests are in the country against against the pardon Alberto Fujimori look even i am sure i think our real depend on you talking to. This is this is the majority of this about sixty seventy percent of really is why are you ok youre very much you are them but theyre not necessarily active in the streets. Remain thirty or forty percent you are arming the active so they are more likely to go out in streets or groups of i mean we expected to be deceived by and large these by. Legal codes and standards i think because most people are feeling very betrayed whose hearts and this is going to frustrate them very angry and how this. Very as you say its very difficult to put a figure on it but some activists have been quoted as saying that at least forty thousand people so tens of thousands of people will turn out in the capital but that also there will be demonstrations in other cities as well if these protests grow how much of a problem could it be for president kaczynski. I dont i dont know we would be too much of a problem in the long term and its remember this is the holidays we have of summer coming i think brazil. Will be worrying about other brands but he certainly has a lot to explain i dont think these protests will go right this is going to put a lot more emphasis on be corrupt means. The people who are protesting today were depending him a few weeks ago. So what does that mean for his government because he was already under a great deal of pressure following allegations of the of the living gulf while leaders in many countries but weve seen it very pervasive in brazil and now in peru what when you say that he has explaining to do what does he need to do to pacify the protests. Well i think i think two things one are to pacify the protests is will be hard but this government has to show a lot more empathy. For the victims of the who generally has to show their being at least unwilling to understand whats driving these people to the streets and whats driving not just people who remember who was there were there in the ninetys but people much younger people coming out even though they didnt experience it firsthand as i said a few days frustrate to with it but the last and how both the pardon but also housing peter and processes have been full so there is a theres an absolute lack of trust in the government right now and i think at the top of the agenda for president kaczynski has to be trying to gain some other trust back. We dont think that is going to happen through reshuffling because there doesnt seem to be any regime in place now what it looks like is that they will try to see the media which is quite frankly the Mainstream Media is very much against the president but i think they will try to hit the media started with more ministers and hearing them on buying time time ti vo and print or enrique thank you very much for speaking to us on this i want to thank you. Now one stay in mexico has classified the mud as a war the ninety women this year as acts of fantasize and thats the intentional killing of girls and women simply because they are female mexicos one of the most dangerous countries in the world for women because of organized crime and human trafficking. Pollo reports from a state where communities are trying to address the issue of gender violence. Is a single mother in mexico who says she lives in fear less than a month ago her younger sister was brutally murdered the victim of a Sexual Assault the body was found on the side of the road in order for them and care for them because of the way my sisters body was found at first sight it was deemed and as the newspapers reported she had been strangled. Like many places in mexico blows facing a crisis of gender based violence that keeps personal safety in the back of every womans mind. To help create awareness the government has enlisted the help of over one hundred seventy tortilla shops across the state and wrap up warm tortillas and pamphlets with information about femicide and a number to call it violence against women is suspected somewhere this is a good thing and it benefits us all to help women be informed that last month a prosecutor invade a cruise was murdered outside her work some believe she was targeted because of her efforts to protect women and young girls still experts believe impunity is the biggest obstacle against dampening the crisis the problem however is also deeply ingrained in the culture is mostly its male privilege violence is a male privilege men kill each other on a daily basis and men are also killing women because of their gender because they believe women are worth less or they believe that their lives belong to them in. Protest denouncing violence against women are becoming more common in mexico which has among the highest rates of femicide on earth the common slogan among demonstrations is not one more activist in mexico have launched initiatives aimed at reducing levels of violence against women projects that include everything from gender workshops for cab drivers to interactive database maps like this one that tracked and catalog cases of femicide all over the country. Was killed on november eleventh it was the ninetieth case of femicide this year since then there have been five other women murdered. Women shouldnt have to end up as a number or as some case file women have a face we dont deserve to be killed or to be hurt or to be threatened or raped its not one more not one more women killed employee of or in mexico or in the world.

Isnt by the way in general he led efforts to push Robert Mugabe out of power has been sworn in as Vice PresidentConstantino Chiwenga who retired from the military last week will share the role with kember along serving state security minister meanwhile former president Robert Mugabe has been granted full diplomatic status and a staff of twenty three on his pension settlement ninety three year old stepped down last month in nigeria many motorists and confusions have been stranded over the Christmas Period because of a three week fuel shortage its led to a thriving black market west some vendors are selling petrol at double the approved government prices in the capital abuja ahmed interest reports. The queue is more than a kilometer long and its a common feature at most because stations across nigeria. This one is directly opposite nigerias oil company yet its not dispensing fuel to motorists some have been waiting ten hours ive been going through says thats night after does money there is no even sign of viable moving from this position to even hope of getting if way for decades official corruption has crippled the countrys four old refineries the Nigerian Government imported what it needed through a subsidy system but that was hijacked by corrupt officers and businessmen. At the heart of the Current Crisis is the demand by retailers what have you in costs and increasing supplies in two thousand and sixteen when the government stopped subsidizing thats all the cost of a liter jumped by sixty percent the queues disappeared at least for a year now they are back and nigerians are seeing big increases in forward and transportation costs. The government blames the shortages and marketers who each says want to force the prices by bit double as you had a source their products said that they were good to include as the purpose of it will approach because of the level it is going to be has moved from about the to me only does but the fifty metre lead does but the question on these ladies does. Or no i have a lot of the major streets and highways caucus have plenty of petrol on offer but at three times the official price market to say there is a shortfall and most cannot import enough to meet the demand they deny they are holding the country to run so there is a god on his shoulder for and against you have come to saul in fourth or fifth along problem there is no were. An independent medical we import it for one part of which we know the lending causes the bad one seven to one which is eight cents more than the government approved price of forty cents a liter. The impact of the crisis has a knock on effect at the markets. From what i was very aware there are a lot more but at the cost of everything has gone up from transportation to others presence up doubled everyones affected by the problem. The government says its flooding the market with more petrol but right now most nigerians are worried about how to get from one point to another and the rise in prices of food one hundred degrees aljazeera object. Experts in Artificial Intelligence say the world isnt prepared for the big changes automation is bringing to the Global Economy some say i could help us create an almost Perfect World but the world bank is warning developing countries could face economic collapse arent seeing explores their concerns in the final part of our brave new world series. The future is coming and its going to affect all of us its widely accepted that millions of jobs are going to disappear but we may not have to work we might get paid for having fun and in this future the robots and algorithms that will replace us could either reduces to poverty or set us free this is the time of apocalypse and utopia and this is a time where we have to start thinking concretely about how so in vision a better world out of the kind of. The collapse of this one. Optimists say things could be wonderful machines do nearly all the work money disappears as things are created for us automation in science negates Climate Change crops are grown in the deserts we create meet in our own homes. And as a species we develop because we no longer spend our time doing boring tasks to feed our children i think we might well experience a new renaissance of creativity and of social interaction in a very positive way if people have the leisure to do whatever they want to do they will be less frustrated by the the hassles they have it work. They will be more fearful because theyll be doing the things that interest them. It may sound a long way away after all at the moment robots only do one thing at a time like this one making car doors but what if one can do all the things that week in previous industrial revolutions change was measurable people call it linear the difference with the forth in the revolution is that change is exponential which means it goes faster and faster all the time and its expected that within about a generation from now a machine will be built which is better than a human and that changes everything. Futurologists point to a problem where are the world politicians discussing these things with their electorates Artificial Intelligence is barely mentioned in western election campaigns yet already jobs are disappearing as the robots take over the global tech giants who in future will control vost resources are discussing privately what their responsibilities to us will be but they would rather not talk about it in public. Every day i experts believe the transition to worklessness that we as humans are in barking on must be addressed now we all understood this was coming i suspect the shocks will be lower and we can start to try to mitigate against it immediately if you understand that eventually most of the population will be unable to do traditional work then you can start introducing systems to cope with it was at the moment that just sounds like youre saying that spend more benefits which when you have that linear view of the world isnt really an acceptable way in british or western european politics to think that the question is what were going to do about it and so for us we believe that we need to organize citizens worldwide to recognize first of all that it is actually going to change a lot of things and already is but crucially where do you stand on this what do you believe and how are you going to get involved in debates so that actually leads to progress in in in how you perceive it. Artificial intelligence could be the best thing ever to happen to humanity but in the absence of a Global Political debate about its benefits the risk is that its seen instead is a terrifying a direct threat to us. The world will be a very different place in a generation from now it is surely time for the people to be involved in what it will look like. Aljazeera. Business updates. Going places together.

A cycler was actually one of the most popular forms of entertainment in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in the United States and europe before cinema would be around and then there would be a dire ramat running on the inside and visitors to a cycle rama would come up through the middle of the cyclorama and they would have this immersive experience mark came to the hirshhorn which was built by gordon bunch after and its a unique building we are essentially a donut and so the center of the building actually makes it impossible for us to actually be a cycle romney he was looking specifically at a cycle that was made in one thousand nine hundred three by philip photo and it depicts the battle of gettysburg which is considered to be the turning point of the American Civil War he got images of filipinos painting from im guessing from the internet its a piece of unstretched canvas one piece about twelve feet high and forty five to fifty feet long and then on that canvas are multiple layers of paper colored paper burns papers papers and hes soaked in water to give them this very different material effect and he glued together for mark he has decided to disrupt that idea by the materials that he uses so what hes using is just pieces of colored paper sometimes posters that he finds on the streets so what you have is not only this juxtaposition of figurative imagery and abstraction but also different layers of history so things that have been embedded in the kind of the base of the painting and then get put on top and its kind of this metaphor i think about how history comes back over and over again and i think its a comment on how some of the issues that we faced as a nation when the battle of gettysburg took place are still kind of relevant today they still haunt us today and what you get a sense of as he went back in and disrupts the imagery is the sense of history and how history is never transparent theres never one version of history and that there are always these filters through which we all view history. Time now for the sport with tatiana.
