Also nigerias fuel crisis intensifies leaving drivers queuing up for ten hours to fill up plus. Im going hey reporting from thailand where the military government says democracy will return at the end of two thousand and eighteen but well tell you why many believe it wont happen. Because the news hour at least forty people have been killed and another thirty injured after multiple explosions in a compound in afghanistans capital kabul now the attack happened in the shia district in the west of the city one of the blasts hit the office of the News Agency Afghan voice now theres been no immediate claim of responsibility but the taliban says it was not involved in the attacks. Who joins me now live from the capital kabul just bring us up to speed up the law on what we know about the sequence of events that led to that explosion. Hell it was a downturn in the morning ten thirty sorry in the morning when this act that attack happened now that the cult attack was against a Cultural Center the Cultural Center included the Media Organization it included. 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. Know aid workers evacuated a second group of critically ill patients from eastern cooter a rebel held area near syrias capital damascus four people were taken from there on wednesday but at least one person has refused to leave fearing arrest by the Assad Government last month the u. N. Calls for five hundred people in need of Urgent Medical care to be allowed to leave but only twenty nine cases have been given approval at least eighteen people have died while waiting. Advocacy manager for the Turkey Office of the Syrian American medical society joins me now from guardian tap via skype good to have you with us sir relief for you surely that some of managed to leave the area to seek medical treatment but huge security concerns perhaps even technical concerns too we will try and get back to dr tube shortly to discuss that evacuation of. Internally displaced people of course in damascus coming up here on the news are. 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 trying to save his neck from prison and. People know that the last. Man that can be. Portrayed as a leftist or. Part of the opposition is the chief of police that was selected by nathaniel himself well this is well as the attorney general this what i was going to say mr. Prime minister netanyahu as you heard was how the cabinet secretary the Prime Minister netanyahu has continually talked about this witch hunt as you just say the head of the police force the attorney general are appointees of Prime Minister netanyahu theyre not a hangover from a previous government or a previous Prime Minister so one would expect some sort of clash between the two groups. Yeah and it seems that something is very wrong the Prime Ministers. Office and his residence that theyre losing control and its now against everyone its against everyone who is not on my side everyone who does not justify what i have been doing so its are you are with me completely one hundred percent or you are against me and that includes first of all the media although the media in the last four years in the last few years has moved more and more to the right and you can see leading journalists who support not only out and support the government on everything but its like its a Smear Campaign against democracy and if you you put even. More broader context its like the new bill that will come which is to recognize israel and to present israel as the jewish state which was out equality to all its citizens so its like you know taking like something did its taking the the entire house with me if im going down i will take with me the entire israeli democracy which is what doesnt for the moment thanks so much for joining us and televisa could have you with us. Teenage palestinian girl recently film slapping Israeli Soldiers in her village is about to appear in an Israeli Military court had to me was detained on december the nineteenth in a raid on her home well joining us now is harry falsities outside the off of prison in occupied west bank and all eyes really on this case because the the the footage that circulated on twitter just went viral harry. Thats right shes become very much literally a poster child of this protest movement thats sprung up since the declaration by donald trump on december the sixth saying that the United States recognized jerusalem as the capital of israel and the protests that weve seen since then this act by this is young sixteen Year Old Girl of just shortly after her cousin had been shot in the face by an israeli rubber coated steel bullet and confronting the the soldiers in the video along with her sister slapping one in the face all of this captured on camera by their mother that is what resulted in shortly afterwards all three of them being arrested at their homes in the dead of night by Israeli Forces since when they have been in custody this is the Second Court Appearance that they will have attended after the last one on monday their detention was extended as a result of that last Court Appearance and now their lawyers are appealing for their release but it has as you say really captured the imagination both the palestinians in terms of their protest against this u. S. Move but also its something which is really cause debate among Israeli Society about the actions of the soldiers involved were they to restrain were they not restrained enough and also in terms of policy politicians and commentators being hugely critical of this young girl as well and of course shes not the only miner that seems to be catching the headlines as well. No thats right there is a seventeen year old boy fozzy nady who was released from custody yesterday hes from hebron and he again became a real character in this protest since the trump declaration pictures of him in the protest on the seventh of december just after the declaration being surrounded by twenty three soldiers blindfolded him being taken away hes now his testimony that now coming out saying that he was assaulted both on the ground during the course of that arrest and in private in a room after his arrest he suffered a broken six shoulder and his lawyers and now taking action against Israeli Forces because of that and we shouldnt just focus on these two single individuals either this does speak to a wider policy which is being criticized and has been for years of israeli detention of minors there have been one hundred seventy minors who have been detained in these protests in december alone and one watchdog or Nongovernmental Organization called military court watch says that two thirds of palestinian children who are arrested by Israeli Forces say that they are physically abused in the course of that arrest and detention for the momentary relief of course come back to you as we get more use for you or thank you. The u. N. Says sixty eight yemeni civilians were killed in just one day from two sound led airstrikes the sound of that coalition has intensified its air campaign against positions following the death of former president and they are delicious early this month now the first strike on tuesday hit a crowded market in days province killing fifty four civilians including eight children and the second killed fourteen people from the same family in the Red Sea Province of the data. Trafficking or where nigeria is in the midst of a severe fuel shortage causing long. Queues that petrol stations across the country has led to a thriving black market where some vendors are selling petrol at double the approved government prices shortly well cross over to emmett address in the future but first his report. The queue is more than a kilometer long and its a common feature at most because stations across nigeria this one is directly opposite nigerias oil company yet its not dispensing fuel to motorists some have been waiting ten hours ive been going through says night after does moment there is no even sign of viable moving from these positions to even hope of getting if way for decades official corruption has crippled the countrys four old refineries the Nigerian Government imported what it needed through a subsidy system but that was hijacked by corrupt officers and businessmen at the heart of the Current Crisis is a demand by retailers right if you uncrossed an increase in supplies in two thousand and sixteen when the government stopped subsidizing head for the cost of a liter jumped by sixty percent the queues disappeared at least for a year now they are back and nigerians are seeing big increases in full and transportation costs. The government blames the shortages and marketers who each says want to force up prices robert w. Had a source their products said that they were good to include as a populist orbital approach because of the level it is going to be has moved from about thirty million does but the fifty meter lead does but the question is where is this going to boil no ive been among the major streets and highways caucus have plenty of petrol on offer but at three times the official price marketers say there is a shortfall and most cannot import enough to meet the demand. They deny they are holding the country to run so there is a god and they shot forward and it does you have come to saul in fourth or fifth column for that there is no way. An independent medical will import it for one printer which we know the lending causes about one seventy one. Which is eight cents more than the government approved price of forty cents a liter. The impact of the crisis has a knock on effect at the markets. What i meant it wouldnt allow my by that the cost of everything has gone up from transportation to other this president doubles everyones affected by the close. The government says its flooding the market with more petrol but right now most nigerians are worried about how to get from one point to another and the rising prices of food. Well joining me now from the vision is our correspondent and that address the problem does seem to be systematic of a long running problem within the country and thats all about corruption if you can tackle that from the top downwards that perhaps you can solve the smaller problems the day to day problems that people really need solving. Thats right sale and the program and the problem goes back decades this is a country that started exploring oil in one nine hundred fifty s. And since then since nigeria got independence the focus has been on the oil industry so most of the people here know the oil industry as this whole. Revenue for the government as well a lot of people from businessmen to government officials focused attention on this the forty finders weve been talking about have been in operation for for more than three decades and people corrupt officials like we said dont even want to see them work simply because they need to import this fuel now you know by the way is the Largest Oil Producer in africa but they prefer the government imports fuel problem outside the country so that they can make more money out of it now the Bush Administration is trying to tackle this by stopping the subsidy on Petroleum Products which of course for one year now dont have never seen queues at petrol stations and then all of a sudden things start to line stuff started appearing at epic more stations across the country and when we spoke to some people and they said they believe. The government needs to shore up prices again from one hundred forty five letter thats around forty cents. Litter to one hundred seventy one night a pilot about more than eight cents per liter so the problem for the Body Administration is that. Once the refineries are not working properly it has to go outside to import refined Petroleum Products this country requires thirty million liters of petrol day and right now the refineries cannot even produce cannot even refine one million liters of people quite a serious problem that continues to find us where the top of the news agenda certainly in nigeria for the moment thank you. Well in the moment well have the weather with stuff but still ahead here on aljazeera liberia waits to find out whos won she says president ial runoff football legend george way or Vice President.

Was elected two years ago with a mandate to rein in Government Spending and rejuvenate argentinas lagging economy after years of the center left presidency of Cristina Fernandez the commissioner of the government of mali so mike lee has pushed to have a series of laws that it says will make argentinas economy more competitive like reforming the pension and tax system but there are many here who disagree they say that the government reforms are benefiting corporations and north the countrys most vulnerable. Among them i people. Shes retired and says she couldnt miss the opportunity of getting some three four days before we let you know he finds the pension i get is not enough and what im buying now would cost me a lot i worked all my life and now i can barely survive. Despite scoring a resounding victory in octobers Congressional Elections mackey spent reform sparked a violent protest last week in one of cite us that left dozens of people injured and new legislation changed the way pension increases are calculated which could end up hurting the elderly and those who depend. Does social security. The government said there were four aim to restore order to argentinas chronically imbalance fiscal account its in italy and what the in the path of the argentinean economy is very tight with the possibility of crises along the way but for now i believe the government has a clear idea of what it wants to do its trying to open up the economy to the world after years of financial isolation london. I didn t. Now has a history of Economic Crises that have left millions living in poverty even though the government insists Economic Reforms will lead to a Brighter Future there are many hold out that the governments plans will turn out well. When i say this proves culture minister has resigned following the controversial pardon of an expresident Alberto Fujimori salvador dulce a law was a fierce opponent of the decision fisher mori who was serving twenty five years for human rights abuses and corruption was last week move from jail to hospital president pub local denies the party was part of a deal to avoid his only impeachment agression allegations but it hasnt stopped thousands of people from taking to the streets to protest the decision. My friends and family of some of the one hundred thirty two Police Officers killed in Rio De Janeiro of the show have held a memorial to all of the Police Uniforms stained with red paint and plaques dedicated to the slain officers have been displayed elongate popular probably since the nineteen nineteen years the number of Police Officers killed in the state of freo has surpassed one hundred. Yes so much for my conversion point that i am this is a way we can to say the following to society the quiet the human rights has no side we cannot be selective this is a way to embrace the police corp and express our solidarity to the relatives of the victims of this. Experts in Artificial Intelligence say the world is unprepared for the enormous changes automation is bringing to the Global Economy the world bank is warning that economies of the developing countries could collapse because of the rise of automation a drug some say Artificial Intelligence could help us create an almost Perfect World lawrence sleek spalls their concerns in the final part of our series brave new world. The future is coming and its going to affect all of us its widely accepted that millions of jobs are going to disappear but we may not have to work we might get paid for having fun and in this future the robots and algorithms that will replace us could either reduces to poverty or set us free this is the time of apocalypse and utopia and this is a time where we have to start thinking concretely about how so in vision a better world out of the kind of. The collapse of this one. Optimists say things could be wonderful machines do nearly all the work money disappears as things are created for us automation in science negates Climate Change crops are grown in the deserts we create meet in our own homes. And as a species we develop because we no longer spend our time doing boring tasks to feed our children i think we might well experience a near a nice arms of creativity and of social interaction in a very positive way if people have the leisure to do whatever they want to do they will be less frustrated by the the hassles they have at work. They will be more fearful because theyll be doing the things that interests them. It may sound a long way away after all at the moment robots only do one thing at a time like this one making car doors but what if one can do all the things that week in previous industrial revolutions change was measurable they were. Linea the difference with the Fourth Industrial Revolution is that change is exponential which means it goes faster and faster all the time and its expected that within about a generation from now a machine will be built which is better than a human and that changes everything. Futurologists point to a problem where all of the world politicians discussing these things with their electorates Artificial Intelligence is barely mentioned in western election campaigns yet already jobs are disappearing as the robots take over the global tech giants who in future will control vost resources are discussing privately what their responsibilities to us will be but they would rather not talk about it in public. Every day i experts believe the transition to worklessness that we as humans are in barking all must be addressed now we all understood this was coming i suspect the shocks will be lower and we can start to try to mitigate against it immediately if you understand that eventually most of the population will be unable to do traditional work and you can start introducing systems to cope with it was at the moment that just sounds like saying lets spend more benefits which when you have that linear view of the world isnt really an acceptable way in british or western european politics to think the question is what were going to do about it and so for us we believe that we need to organize citizens worldwide to recognize first of all that this is actually going to change a lot of things and already is but crucially where do you stand on this what do you believe and how are you going to get involved in debates so that actually leads to progress in in in how you perceive it.
