A Religious School also now young men young young men and women were gathered today at this Cultural Center is celebrating the the black day of afghanistan which was the thirty eight and the versity of russian invasion in afghanistan now. That suicide bombing happened when when when this event was taking place it was all room crowded and many people would attending this event and. Its believed its believed that there were three attackers but official sources have not yet confirmed that they could only confirm one suicide bomber involved. Now the Shia Community is mourning their their their lost family members in this attack and saying that the government hasnt put enough security measures to prevent such attacks in such Religious Centers of course weve seen the Shia Community targeted before in the past there was a huge demonstration back in september in the capital kabul where they were targeted they were demonstrating then about Security Issues what is the security issue like around the capital in general. Well the security in capital kabul is is very tight the government has put has put measures that have put Security Belt around the city they have they have brought in new force into into these checkpoints in turning to the city in the have also even brought canine dogs to search. Vehicles though with munitions or with or explosive but still these measures havent prevented such attacks three witness last week there was an attack against. An intelligence compound where. Nine people died that was also that was claimed by Islamic State and last week we also witnessed another attack on an Afghan Intelligence compound that was claimed by a by a Islamic State now these attacks have been. Increasing and capital kabul there is a lot of pressure specifically from the Islamic State that has newly emerged. In afghanistan but well leave it there for now thanks for joining us updating us on the situation that. Well afghanistan has that been in conflict what for the past forty years in one nine hundred seventy nine the soviet forces invaded for the next nine years battled local fighters known as the merger had dean who were backed by the u. S. And pakistan at the time another conflict proxy war divided afghanistan in one nine hundred ninety six al qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden broke ties with the mujahideen and backed the newly formed group called the taliban with bin laden on their side taliban fighters were emboldened then there were the attacks on nine eleven which led to the u. S. Invasion of afghanistan while the bulk of u. S. Troops have now withdrawn the conflict continues today with more than two thousand six hundred civilians killed this year according to the e. U. And ways while their kids the managing director of the peace training and Research Organization joins me now via skype from kabul good to have you with us on the program sir the taliban say they didnt do it so all things seem to point to ice all until we hear confirmation as to who is behind that how influential have i saw as a group being in the country in the past few years. I think its going to show a particular kind of attacks on shia get around. And call on i mean control is the. Denied be the next particular instance to mosques or Religious Centers and been a chance to try getting good stimulant population so i still never. Try to deny police. On the streets credit for these these kind of things and. Maybe for the sake of peace negotiation negotiation going on anything from the government set trying to show that its more peaceful or transgenic least our work civilian casualties. Just a credit for. The box so i actually think these kind of attacks will be good for them if you look at the data we are just getting a wire that just dropped from local News Agencies in kabul and i asked has actually claimed responsibility for that attack and obviously this attack happened in a very Close Community area where there was a large Shia Community commemorating the invasion of afghanistan back in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine it was close to the Media Organization. But security for the she has been a historical issue thats been mentioned by many groups many communities and it is systematic of a problem of florida security over a very long period of time the power vacuum that afghanistan has actually experienced. I think that i mean all the Religious Center and get around that white people to actually to to to defend it by the government to be. Their whole power collections there or some. Shortages on the Security Section but i mean its going to be difficult for that new government to protect she has i mean there are i mean we had many cases when they were traveling on the earth and they have been kidnapped and killed. I mean its protecting the civilians that that large amount of people dispersed in the country is not going to be a very its a challenge we face watching for them i will leave it there thank you so much for your insight. In conflict zones across the globe children are being used as the targets and as weapons thats the conclusion from the report by unicef while children suffer during war time the report says the situation worldwide has reached shocking levels children have become a frontline targets and often used as human shields now many are recruited to fight rape and been slaves would have become standard tactics the conflict in yemen has been one of the worst for children in twenty seventeen with five thousand killed or injured the u. N. Agency says there is widespread disregard for International Law was designated to protect young people in just a possible on the dire situation for refugees around the middle east. Winter in the refugee camp in lebanons eastern because valley is not easy. Last year for several months shelters which are made out of bits of wood and plastic sheeting were blanketed in snow warm clothes are often in short supply and fuel can be expensive or hard to find. Really to help vulnerable refugees prepare for the cold temperatures the u. S. Refugee Agency Offers cash and other assistance to those who most need it so far around six hundred fifty thousand refugees have received some form of help but many others are still doing without they need more c one in winter to keep warm blankets they need more food they need medicine because of the diseases that spread more easily in the winter season. According to the u. N. H. C. R. More than three point eight million refugees and internally displaced people in syria lebanon iraq turkey jordan and egypt need winter assistance a Cold Weather Program which began last month is aimed at helping the most vulnerable families they receive a mixture of cash assistance Building Materials to repair and weatherproof shelters and winter items including thermal blankets gas heaters and warm clothes but of the two hundred twenty. A Million Dollars needed to finance this years Winter Program so far only one hundred forty three Million Dollars has been received a shortfall of nearly forty percent today we are facing funding shortfalls which forces you and other agencies to target the assistance that we are able to deliver to the families who are most in the poorest of the poor unfortunately we know that many other families who are also do not have access to this assistance today and while Syrian Refugees and internally displaced children face another winter away from their homes according to unicef children have been used as human shields trapped under siege targeted by snipers and lived through intense bombardment and violence unicef is demanding all parties involved in the fighting abide by International Laws so that children like bees dont have to suffer in aljazeera. The one place where the reports findings can be seen in a particularly dramatic form is lebanon which has about a million Syrian Refugees there as it is called or joins me now from the campaign lebanons eastern valley. Generally its believed that the syrian war is winding down and refugees concern about the pressure thats. To leave the area so whether theyre beyond the borders of lebanon i mean what sort of sense do you get about their feelings about the way the authorities are dealing with this. Well there is a lot of concern because the people here know that the lebanese government doesnt want them here at the lebanese government has long really complained that it doesnt have the resources it doesnt have the money to help these people and their presence has caused the social tensions in the country and they do hear some lebanese government Officials Say that the International Community should do something president to return home but at the same time those Officials Say were not going to force them to return but theres concern why because for some of the people here returning is is not an option. For some people theyre wanted by the government they were in one way or another involved with the opposition or they decided to defect from the army because they just didnt want to get involved in the conflict we went we met a young man who defected from the army and he showed us how he was torture marks because he took that decision not to fight on either side of the war so a lot of people wont be able to go back and as we know the Syrian Government and their allies have been recapturing a lot of territory from the rebels so going back will mean that they will have to live under the under the government now some people here will say thats fine its ok we are ready to go back but there are a lot of areas for example which have been reduced to rubble so what do they go back to they have no homes no livelihoods and whos going to help them there so really there is a lot of concern about their future indeed sort of the time just they do the. Winter is setting in and theres no will to turn to for help because its may get pickings really. Yes life is difficult and now with the winter it just becomes even harder it is cold as you can see the conditions behind me they live in tents and the only help they get this from the United Nations and the help is just not enough in a new study by the United Nations says more than half of the refugees in lebanon live below the poverty line live in extreme poverty many of them are in. A lot of them if they want to work theyre going to need to find a lebanese sponsor they need to pay two hundred fifty dollars to get the permits and they dont have that money so they work illegally which means that theyre vulnerable and employers may not want to pay them their salaries so people really are living in very miserable conditions and. The number is now below the one million mark for the First Time Since two thousand and fourteen fifty thousand have managed to be settled in europe in europe and a few thousand returned to syria like we said the majority more than one hundred fifty thousand refugees live like this. Well for mobile believe it theres a lot thank you.

If people have the leisure to do whatever they want to do very will be less frustrated by the hassles they have of work. Preparing for a world where robots take over and do most of the labor. Also despite protests argentinas government moves ahead with sweeping Economic Reforms. And controversy one of the most famous yox races in the world as the winner is stripped of the title show well have that news for us in sport. The Israeli Parliament turns approved a law limiting Police Powers which critics say is intended to shield Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu from investigations and it prevents police from recommending to prosecutors whether or not to. Suspects over an investigation is complete netanyahu and his supporters say the law would prevent the public smearing of those being investigated before the attorney general decides how to proceed with the case but the opposition says it seeks to dampen anger against the Prime Minister who is under investigation in two cases and that criticism led to changes in the draft so that the new law will not apply to ongoing investigations including the ones against the current Prime Minister. Back of our elder is senior Political Columnist monitor joins me now live from tel aviv good to have you with us sir i mean how much is this about all the government protecting themselves from future prosecution. Well the law the new bill will not apply to the Prime Minister or people who are now under investigation because in israel you cannot pass a law that applies retroactively it will be relevant only to people especially politicians and public figures that will be under investigation in the future but you have to see this in the broader context and the timing first of all it comes after an attempt to pass the socalled french law that does not allow the police and the attorney general to investigate and to indict a sitting Prime Minister and this has failed now this new bill is also kind of the last draft is a compromise because they wanted to go all the way that it will apply to the sitting Prime Minister and the they will not able they were not able to convince members of the coalition from other parties other than the likud to to support it and the border context is is in attempt to deal a just a minus the police the attorney general the media its part of a campaign against the pillars of the israeli democracy how damaging that this is to or how damaging is a scandal to the government to the Israeli Parliament in the eyes of the public that when they are trying certainly to circumvent the gate and the legal investigation that could possibly lead to a prosecution. Yeah its a good question i think that its going to backfire it puts more oil on the fire you can see in the last few weeks more and more people are gathering to protest against corruption and even people from the right. For instance the former spokesman of netanyahu is a leading journalist who has organized a demonstration against corruption without mentioning specifically the name Benjamin Netanyahu but its very clear so i think that this will bring more people to the streets to demonstrate it looks Like Netanyahu is losing the brakes when hes try
