[gunfire] reporter the taliban takeover of the provincial capital of kunduz last month provided the exclamation point, but the handwriting was already on the wall for president obama to read. Afghan forces are still not as strong as they need to be, and meanwhile the taliban has made gains, partitilarly in rural areas and can still launch deadly attacks in cities, including kabul. Reporter under his new plan, american troops will be based in the capital of kabul, the main air field at bagram and at two other locations in the east and south.

Several of those children were taken away yesterday by child protective services. Was the assault a part of some religious ritual .

The Palestinian Authority said he was killed by israeli soldiers, but then the israelis released this video of the arab boy very much alive recovering in a hospital. Rael says manasra stabbed two, including a jewish teen teenager, and was hit by a car whene fled the scene. Its the latest in a string of knife attacks against israelis that have spooked the country. Palestinians, mostly young men, armed with knives, appear out of nowhere, stabbing as many as they can. Their targets appear to be random, which is only added to the fear. All the suspects have been arrested or fatally shot by Israeli Security forces, like this woman gunned down at a bus station. [gunfire] w, for the First Time Since 2000, Israeli Security forces set up extra checkpoints around the palestinian neighborhoods of east jerusalem.

Reporter hiding behind dark glasses and a cap, hunting guides fear bronkhurst sat in his car anxiously w wting for court to start. He insisisd he had done nothing wrong. He claims he had a legal permit. Well, i guess i shot a famous lion. Reporter cecil was a major attraction at the hive national park. The government says bronkhurst lured ceaseling off protected parkland to a nearby farm where he was shot with a crossbow. Absolute nonsense. The animals were eating on an elephant carcass. Its a load of nonsense. We didnt even have to lure him. He was there. Reporter bronkhurst says heseing made a scapegoat. Most of the 55,000 palmer paid for his hunting license goes to bronkhurst after a small cut to the farmer on whose land cecil was killed, but those days could be over. Well, its destroyed it i think. Its destroyed the family, my business. You know, we employ a lot o o people, and they are all on half time now. I guess each family is supporting six or more dependents. Reporter illegal hunting is rarely prosecuted in zimbabwe, but researcher brent staplekamp, who had been studying cecil, was convinced that because of the International Outrage this time would be different. He believes the american dentist should have been charged. I really thought this was going to be an example to other people that t ve done this before who would do it in the disappointed that theyre not going to see justice.
