Reported killed. Germany says the expulsion of the cia top official was inevitable after the latest spying allegation. Hello. The u. S. Secretary of state john kerry has arrived in afghanistan where hell meet both candidates of the disputed election. Hes warned the future of the country hangs in the balance. Hes met one of the candidate who is now says he supports an extensive order of the polls. The report shows he won 56 of the report. Heres what he had to say a short time ago. Our commitment is to insure the election process is integrity of afghanistan in the world would believe it. We believe in the most extensive process possible to restore faith. From day one, our commitment has been inclusive government, government that can represent all and serve every citizen in the manner that every man deserves from the constitution. Mr. Kerry will meet his rival Abdullah Abdullah. He claimed victory in the Runoff Election last month also. Preliminary results show him second with 43 of the vote. That might change when the finals come out in a couple weeks time. We explain what influence john kerry would bring to negotiations. You have to remember theres still 30,000 troops on the ground. The Afghan National Security Forces are heavily funded by the americans as well as members of the international community. The Afghan National Security Forces cost 1. 4 million, most fed by the americans. Politicians in afghanistan understand the future is tide to the relationship and help from washington. Theres no doubt about that. That being said, Abdullah Abdullah has made a number of fresh demands. For example hes saying 8. 1 million voters did not take part in the second round of election. He believes 5. 5 million so far. He warns mr. Kerry and the United Nations here to reinspect votes from 11,000 ballot boxes, more than half the votes. The u. N. Envoy here said that his suggestion is at least 8,000 ballot boxes should be respected. Thats about 3 million votes. Theres still quite a number of disputes to be resolved. More importantly mr. Kerry would have to create a climate of trust where they could sit and work together. Hes meeting president karzai whos another crucial personality in terms of finding a possible solution to this problem. As we speak, supporters of both candidates are putting up the posters of both candidates across the country and calling them the elected president s of afghanistan. They have indeed confused the ordinary afghans. This deadlock has brought businesses to a stand still, created a lot of concern among ordinary people across the country. The death of two palestinians in the israeli air raid in gaza has brought the total number killed to 100 in four days. Another five were killed overnight when a three story house was flattened. More rockets have been fired in the last few hours. No israelis have been killed since the conflict began. Three seriously injured in the southern pakistani city. Rockets are fired into northern israel for the first time. Theyre trying to figure out who was behind the attack a. Tony blair on a visit to jerusalem says hes extremely worried about whats happening in gaza. The situation now is escalating and not deescalating. I think we need as a matter of urgency, short term arrangements and agreements that do allow us genuinely to deescalate the situation and bring a form of calm. I dont think that will work unless theres a term put in place to resolve this further long time solution. I think its going to be difficult to create short term peace. Ive been talking to correspondents in the region. In a moment well hear from gaza, then james reynolds. First in beirut. We have more details about southern rocket attacks. Up until now, we dont know who fired the rockets according to the lebanese arnie from southern lebanon to northern israel. Retaliation as you said. Israel fired 25 tank shells into northern lebanon. There havent been reports of injuries or damage yet. The Lebanese Army is patrolling the area in search of a group or party who would be doing this. As for the moment, no group has claimed responsibility. In term temperatures of the israeli air strikes on gaza overnight, whats the latest there . Even in just the past few minutes we heard the rumble of israeli air strikes to gaza in the south and east. Israel says its hit more than 1,000 targets in gaza in the past four days. We hear palestinian groups have fired 500 rockets into i israel. Many are loare longer range roc. No one is killed yet on the israeli side. In gaza those dead around the 100 mark. Many are children and women. Its going after militants homes. Thats what led overnight to death of five people in southern gaza. There was an islamic leader who wasnt home at the time. Five were killed including a child. Were hearing from local people sometimes the homes being destroyed have no militant talks at all. People complain israel usually gives a warning sending a rocket without explosive war head to make sure people get out of their house, sometimes making a phone call. Often warnings arent coming through. People dont get a chance to leave the property. Thats why civilian casualties are rising. James, is there any suggestion the u. S. Might be trying to get involved to broker a cease fire . Yes because president obama spoke to israels Prime Minister netanyahu. It may be the u. S. Is not capable of mediating directly because in the past what weve seen when israel and gaza, when theres fighting there, egypt has mediated cease fires. It did so most recently in 2012 under the government of morsi. He was of course overtloechbhro. The new government may not be willing on able to. That were aware of there are no talks to mediate a cease fire. Here people are still under rocket warning. In this neighborhood we heard sirens. People were escorted to shelters and stood there five minutes. A colleague saw white plumes in the sky indicating the Missile System had been fired to intercept rockets from gaza. Graphic and compelling evidence of beatings and torture of journalists has emerged. Flst no reliable figures on the number of abductions. The interior ministry reported 500 between april and june. Abductions have taken place across the donetsk and ukraine region. I asked about the government response to that report. So far no official response tim. It should be said, yes it was a damming report that raised a lot of concerns on the side of amnesty international. They said there were kidnappings and abuses on both sides. The majority the, bulk of abuses and kidnappings were carried out by pro russian separatists, fighting against the government forces. As we know, bbc has seen a basement in the town of slovian sloviansk. In some cases the instances were stomach turning. To entrance the situation further do you think . Difficult to say. Theres been accusations and reports some time. The government is accusing the pro russian separatists of carrying out the campaign. The political reasons for the abduction, there were also reasons for intimidating the local population. Obviously this does not help the situation, but it definitely points to the increasing and ongoing brutality of conflict in Eastern Ukraine. David stern in kiev. Germanys foreign minister says the decision to expel the cia top official in berlin was inevitable following two cases of alleged spying by america in a week. The decision further strained relations between the two countries. Germany came to discuss issues of trust this weekend. Lets go to the bbc Stephen Evans who joins us from berlin. This is getting deeper and deeper isnt it . Its rumbling on. The two sides if you like the German Foreign minister and john kerry, his equivalent in washington, will meet in vienna on the sides of a conference there. Its hard to see what can be achieved because German Government ministers are going to washington now for a year since the revelations of Angela Merkels phone saying why have you been doing this . Can we come to some kind of agreement for you to stop spying on an ally. Maybe mr. Kerry will have new information over the weekend. Its hard to imagine in which case how you rebuild trust as the German Government would see it is hard to imagine. But all governments do this steve. You know, is the German Government completely clean on this issue as well . Well, thats a question thats being asked here. Clearly you dont know how much the activity of the secret service is because its secret. People here say well you know our own people completely clear. They knew for example exactly who the head of the cia was in the embassy. Now whether that was Common Knowledge, i do not know. They say the the German Government does say listening to somebodys phone for example is a different order of spying. The second incident involved somebody preparing documents within the German Secret Service for a Parliamentary Committee investigating spying ironically enough. They say thats a breech of democracy. Thats a non violent attack on the parliamentary system. They find that very offensive. Have there been talks between merkel and president obama since the latest episode occurred . Theres certainly been a telephone conversation, but the details of that conversation have not been released. Shes trying to balance things really. Shes clearly voicing extreme disquiet, anger really. At the same time, she wants to keep the relationship on track. While all around her, there are people saying why are we friendly with people that spy on us . They ask us for help Edward Snowden for example, over sanctions with russia. Why are we cooperating . Youre watching bbc world news. Still to come.
