Basically what we have right now that can be called concentration camps in 2020. Camped outside their slip and on the asphalt there are beaten every day and every night some of them are taken by ambulances without consciousness. Or it is decided to beat everyone and everywhere when you disagree with the government then you go then you go peter and then you go through the whole distorters you know that the they they over and they think you belong people is protest people still want to go to streets and now the demand is on the want. To ask you. To step down. Front if you call this concentration camps i have to ask because there was an apology issued for the treatment of some people especially by standards who faced violence do you think that apology was insincere it was absolutely insincere and it was made because of the International Pressure it was made because of the local pressure and ongoing protests of course they were at least a part of prisoners and they want to have peace theyll causation to stop the growth us and to bring time but as we can see here apologize for beaten arbitrary people but you know even the same time when. People wear and teen years leave beaten in the same detention camps you know there they are lying every day but that people believe and trust in leicester and thats what about the fact that the leader of the opposition has fled the country has called for more peaceful protests for this weekend looking at the violence that has been taking place are you going to heed that call for more protests. Yeah there are 2 protests already scheduled protests that will define the role of those who were killed because we dont know yet how many who were killed because many people disappear and theyre likely already in hospital the sort that.

In this company in the country he just said that Police People do not strike because it will impact our economy thats very bad and next he continued talking about Something Like develop interest business or etc etc hes pretending nothing is happening. On the travels in order to create this illusion but he doesnt understand that only for mission to spread not on t. V. But on the internet where people despite shutdown managed access. What about the fact that you foreign minister. To discuss possible sanctions on balance is that the right step i mean what kind of International Pressure are you looking for here. It seems there are no better ways there are no better approaches than sentients you know sanctions are needed just stop the violence. People stop injuring them should people sanctions not just a canonical against it enterprise but more personal targeted sanctions towards all this. Soldiers who are beaten and. Torturing people. Will have to leave it there frantically attract an activist and valorous i thank you very much for joining us here and thank you.

Afghanistan has started freeing some 400 taliban prisoners an effort by the government to speed up peace talks between the 2 warring sides they are among a final group of inmates whose release has been a key taliban demand for beginning with the government in kabul the prisoners include insurgents convicted of attacks on afghans and foreigners you know it doesnt bother me if i was detained here for kidnapping i spent almost 80 years in prison. But im with that on this by calling might lead is when the president who ordered our release and calling them to embrace a permanent ceasefire and to stop the bloodshed with a. Little bundle so that we can all live peaceful lives. And the laws of our youth have been made miserable due to war and the future looks bleak as well let them study and make a good life for you but look theyre going nowhere you know you and your son who knows when the storm could i was detained here for being a taliban member my crime is assassination. And i want a permanent ceasefire and peace and today fine released by the order of the president or for going to sort. Of the. Lets get more on the story now we can speak to journalist whos standing by in couple hi ali so as we heard 80 militants have been released 320 more will follow these prisoners were involved in Violent Attacks on afghans and on foreigners so what do afghans make of this. The biggest problem is that you know the people dont know who these 400 prisoners are now a week ago the president convened a lawyer actually only a few days ago he convened a lawyer a meeting of 3000 representatives from different parts of the country and he asked if they would agree for these 400 prisoners to be released and ive spoken to people who were in attendance on that jirga and they all said we never got a list of who these prisoners of war we didnt know their names we dont know where they were from we dont know where they were going back to and we didnt know the crimes that they were accused of the only thing we were told is that theyre high risk targets but that theyre of high value to the taller barn and that the taliban are using them as sort of the last and pediment to direct talks between the government and themselves so they were sort of given this this really odd ultimatum where they said you know we either free them or we face more war but there was no actual details about who these people are nonetheless the prisoners are being released as we said the taliban previously said they would start peace talks right after of prisoners were released so what do you think this means for negotiations i mean it seems like its going ahead you know it seems like the thing is is that you know the plan is to start the talks by the 16th which is in 2 days time so now the question is whether the government can actually release the remaining 320 by the end of the date morrow and if they can make it to doha by the 16th or if they will have if they will initiate these talks through Video Conference 1st but the fact that they are being released is a good sign but again its been delayed you know the decision was made on the 9th or 10th of august and now were on the 4th. And theyre just starting to release them 2 days before when talks are supposed to begin. What about the threat of the taliban moving forward i mean the islamists have committed themselves to doing their part to make sure that afghanistan no longer poses a terrorist threat in the future so does that mean that theyre pulling together or could we see some splinter groups form theres definitely you know i mean actual splinter groups of the taliban thats kind of hard to assess but there definitely will be some people who dont you know go along with this decision in terms of the p c greenman and they may join other groups or they may foreign form their own groups but i think the intention behind this is to see how many of these taliban fighters are willing to listen to the ones in doha and to their leadership and to come to the table and then so that way you can sort of lessen the field right you can get a bit more of a sense of people really are and maybe you know figure out how to deal with the remaining ones much better journalist ali latif speaking to us from kabul thank you so much thank you bangladesh is densely populated and situated on a major river delta its been long held up by climate experts as one of the worst victims of Climate Change and thats become startle startlingly apparent during this years devastating monsoon flooding which has left a 3rd of the country under water and millions of people facing the threat of hunger. 2 small bags of rice and some lentils.
