M. J. Death and this is al jazeera live from doha was a coming out syrias eastern go to a bombed just hours after a fragile cease fire comes into a faint. Protesters in honduras scuffle with police as the president is sworn in for a second term after a disputed election plus. Theres a misunderstanding and. A saudi billionaire prince detained in riyadh for more than two months on allegations of corruption is set free. Here as President Donald Trump has called for Decisive Action against the taliban that softer the group claimed responsibility for a bomb attack in afghanistans capital at least ninety five people were killed and more than one hundred fifty others injured explosives were hidden in an ambulance that allowed the bomber to get through security in kabuls green zone the citys most heavily protected area jennifer glass reports. Another day of carnage on the streets of kabul this time the bomb was in an ambulance the driver pretended to be taking someone to a nearby hospital but instead he detonated his device on a crowded street the taliban said it. Targeting policemen having lunch but as so often happens here afghan civilians going about their daily lives are among the victims including people lined up outside the interior ministrys Human Resources department. I was in my office we heard the explosion we didnt know what was going on so many people were injured i myself counted at least forty wounded near me everyone was on the ground and i couldnt tell who was dead or who was wounded the street was already heavily guarded with a number of checkpoints protecting government offices embassies the hospital and to schools the area is usually bustling with people urgency services evacuated offices chops and agencies perceptor blocks can hear the security vehicles going by. Taking away the wounded and the dead there have been casualties here this is a very busy part of town in addition to the High Peace Council the Anticorruption Commission is also down there just down the streets at the u. N. Mine agency and this is normally a very very busy part of kabul its the Second Attack in the capital in a week taliban fighters battled Security Forces for more than fifteen hours at the citys Intercontinental Hotel in a cvs that killed twenty five people last saturday security has been stepped up around the city but it wasnt enough. The police on the army of afghanistan is a really young its just seventeen or eighteen years old and they need more training they need more practice they need more experience but the taliban on the other hand theyre very devoted to fighters cobbles Emergency Hospital was flooded with patients its a scene thats been repeated many times the president says the uptick in attacks is because of increased military pressure on armed groups and political pressure on pakistan that may be the case but its the people here who continue to suffer the most jennifer glass al jazeera kabul richard rice is director of the center for political and military analysis at the Hudson Institute he says the Afghan Taliban cannot be defeated without cooperation from neighboring pakistan. I imagine that this may lead to more pressure on pakistan and perhaps russia china and other countries that are close to pakistan to tighten up supply and support for the taliban theres no clear easy answer to know what you would do next prevent these kind of attacks the government of pakistan for the past decade and a half has worked closely with the u. S. And other countries to try and crack down on terrorism that could affect pakistan and largely its at various times in afghanistan but there appear to be groups within pakistan strictly the Security Forces that see it and bandage and having the taliban there is instrumental in the or as a hedge against the what you mentioned before a u. S. Withdrawal there are others who want to use terrorism against india more directly and therefore but but the effect of that is to encourage other terrorist groups so the problem is it cant we cant just deal with the afghan question isolation we have to deal with it in the south asia question and now more broadly now that russia and china are more involved the u. K. Based syrian observatory for human rights says they have seen multiple violations of the cease fire in the rebel held area of east and because its just less than a day off today it went into effect the group says Syrian Government a strike killed three people and wounded many others on saturday on friday syrias opposition confed had received an offer from russia for a cease fire deal citing now appears to have subsided seventy take has more from one talk in it take your vote at least syria. Often when things are decided at the negotiating table thousands of kilometers away its not exactly what transpires on the ground and this is significant because it is the last rebel stronghold in the vicinity of the capital damascus but what is most concerning is the situation there for the civilians the u. N. Estimates around four hundred thousand people are trapped inside the area of eastern there is a severe lack of food and medicine and the u. N. Also says that the issue of malnutrition is one of the worst in the syrian conflict so aid access into eastern for those people will be key and will be something that then could really change and improve the situation for people on the ground and we know within this conflict aid has always been a very difficult thing to negotiate cross lines all sides need to agree so that will be also one of the huge challenges ahead at least fourteen soldiers have been killed at an army camp in mali seventeen others were wounded when the base near timbuktu was targeted the military says it killed seventeen of iran thirty attackers and it has reclaimed control of the base ahmed idris as well from a boucher in nigeria. Seventeen million soldiers injured in the attack are receiving treatment in hospitals so say at least two of the attackers have been killed and im equal however told or jazeera that at least seventeen of the attackers have been killed there were also according to other sources they were also able to cart that way six vehicles arms and i mean nations and then set fire to the rest they cannot move now this attack is one of five or six attacks that happened in the last one week in northern mali although the rest have not been officially confirmed by the money in authorities however were seeing increased cooperation and a new coalition between that made up of the two and more up to two and the al qaeda and Islamic State and other Fringe Groups operating in northern mali that resulted in an increase in the number of attacks on both civilian and military targets in mali two or three days ago were seeing how a civilian bus carrying passengers or run over a mine that killed at least twenty thirty people in that incident now it looks like the mud in such Security Forces unable to control the situation and it looks like things are on the military front it could probably lead to a mali asking for forty assistance to help deal with the rising number of attacks in the north of the country probably we may see a situation like the ones weve seen five six seven years ago when the french led an International Coalition to cheese out al qaida and other ophelia to groups in northern mali before things like him down a little bit in that area.
