Protesters take to the streets in honduras says the new president is inaugurated if they say he stole the election it was understanding. One of the richest men in the world a saudi prince i will leave been released from the tension in rio. I dont people say that in doha with the latest sports top story remarks Caroline Wozniacki has won her first ever grand slam title if youre straight you know when she beats mohalla in the final in. A bomb attack in afghanistans capital has killed at least ninety five people and injured more than one hundred fifty others the explosives were hidden in an ambulance and that allowed the bomber to get through security in the citys green zone the most heavily protected area in kabul the taliban says it carried out the attack and that it was targeting police but most of the dead are civilians from kabul 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 was 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 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 a hospital and a school the area is usually bustling with people Emergency Services evacuated offices shops and agencies perceptor blocks can you 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 more experience but the taliban on the other hand theyre very devoted to fight this 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 aljazeera kabul. Well saturdays attack is just the latest in a wave of violence on the summer twenty eight an i saw suicide bomber targeted a shia Cultural Center in kabul killing at least forty one people last saturday one of kabuls most iconic and heavily guarded hotels the intercontinental was also targeted the taliban claimed responsibility for the gun battle and siege which saw twenty five People Killed one hundred fifty guests desperately flee including some who used the bed sheets to hang from the building and then on wednesday i saw fighters stormed the offices of save the children in the eastern city of jalalabad four people were killed in that attack and the agency announced it would suspend its operations in the country. Well for more on this were joined by i mean bibi a former advisor to myself thats the nato mission in afghanistan sir thank you so much for being with us here on aljazeera i mean we were just reading there the least of the attacks that weve seen in less than a month so not only are we getting more frequent attacks but the magnitude is also impressive the one that happened earlier today actually was the second biggest since two thousand and one so why do you think were seeing this wave the spike of attacks now i think there are lots of reasons one of the reasons is that during good winter time when the fighting stops on the front lines then day terrorist attacks into cities goes all in order to keep the country on say for sure that the countrys on safe normally if there is some this insurgents take the cities and go to you know suicide bombing in that attacking in the cities so thats one reason the other reason is that i think chains of attacks in the past week or month shows that probably the insurgents and those. Organizations behind him in the region trying to to stay u. S. New strategy to see whether the u. S. Will you know stopped just seeing on twitter for example when prison trump says and no action will come behind it or do will take action but lets just talk about that u. S. Strategy because basically in the past few months some trumpet announced extra troops i think three thousand extra troops are sent now i think is a total of fourteen thousand u. S. Troops theyve also stepped up air strike the air Strike Campaign so into all of this the kabul government was quite approving saying that that would help with security and what were seeing is that almost the opposite has happened so has the u. S. Strategy so far failed i think we its so soon to say its failed i think we should. Say that too in the in the next year or so the security situation will improve because there. Are investing a lot on the you know security. Services and also they are supporting the afghan air power so that they are sufficient now i mean capable to defend their territories i think we will see some improvements probably and there from the military side but it depends whether they in the International Community namely the u. S. Will take action based on the new strategy or not if they take and go behind those safe havens and put the. Organizations the Intelligence Services in the region that are behind these attacks. Put them under pressure and push them to stop then we will see changes if not in the security situation of dissent so what youre talking about is more of a political solution to go hand in hand with the military as it is true i think its. The number of the troops is good you know that if you bring some a few more thousands but i think its not afghanistans problem will not be resolved through to troop numbers i think it will be solved through the political negotiations on also probably one in one of the interviews journalists and said just yesterday i saw on another channel that he said that in the next few years well see some improvements we might not know that there are back channels that we dont know and units you know secret talks with the region that we dont know so we need to wait and see you mentioned mean obviously the political situation has been incredibly complicated well you know for more than fifteen years or since the start of the war is it getting more complicated now with for example the increasing presence of i saw when i read the list of attacks that weve seen in the past months two and one against save the children the charity in jalalabad created by i saw specifically that the attacks were by isolette mean how would the u. S. Deal with that and you think were seeing more eisel fighters arriving in afghanistan because of the situation in syria i think i still is not. A threat in afghanistan are still is about a very being responsible for yes but there and under the umbrella of i salute you know regional. Players trying to to perpetrate these attacks and then say that r. C. Claim that its not the middle east afghanistan a separate country its a separate culture that is not lit. To flourish you know taliban has some roots in amongst some parts of the population yes but i think its not i said its not a matter of threat for afghanistan i think we should wait and see whether the u. S. Is serious the people of afghanistan expect the used to show the resolve i think they know who perpetrates you know these attacks didnt know the roots of these attacks didnt know where the planet so didnt need to go in and take action and the security situation in afghanistan we deterred it im going to let her be be former advisor to i suffer thats nato mission in afghanistan sir thank you so much for sharing your views with us now riot police have fired tear gas on protesters in the home during the capital to seek out they took to the streets as president one of london on this was being sworn in for a second term the opposition led by salvador nasrallah says there were irregularities in the vote counting while john holeman is in the capital for us so john its been a few hours now since the inauguration began what can you tell us about the swearing in. Well this is the closest that weve been able to get to i was after and you can see that the National Stadium theres still a lot of police around that there were five rings of security on the usually no president s from other countries were in the stadium to witness president one and this is Inauguration Day we were told that they were not invited because of security and despite him president one and this is address he very barely made a mention about the divisions the anger in honduras off to his a lecture electoral victory in november just to really rally and our audience in the electoral victory there was a crash in the system for a day and a half before the crush his rival was winning after that day and a half crushed president and then this emerged victorious so there was strong suspicions of fraud but he barely touched on in his electorate in his inauguration address he preferred to outline his plans going food for tackling poverty unemployment for talking security and so john that obviously the i guess a lot of anger still remains towards what many people see is electro lee irregularities and i guess his legitimacy will always be in question from now on but these think even the protesters have kind of moved on and now will be dealing with the future with him as the reelected president. I think youre right in terms of the number of protesters have gone down a lot we were seeing maybe one thousand two thousand people you compare thats two months ago when there were tens of thousands marching in the streets im not sure if they if thats because theyve come to terms with him and theyre willing to move on with him the people that we talked to he still seemed like they would never recognize him as a president by i think a lot of people have realized that that ship has sailed and also moving thirty people have died in the protests now obviously affects peoples willingness to turn out and risk their lives now president and this has said as i mentioned briefly who dress that he is willing to dialogue were aware of a group of powerful businesspeople Church Members and n. G. O. S shuttling between him and between his political rivals to try and work out some sort of dialogue a mediation between them whether that comes down to street level remains to be seen i think its whether the president and under some sort comes for one and other things for the home during people because the protests were about the electorate laboring hilarity but theres an underlying issues here the fact that theres a huling gap between the ruling elite that mr nunn this is part of and the vast majority of people from durance problems with unemployment in this country a lot of people trying to have a steady job if he can resume the police my surgeon him and john on the final note how much support does the new with the newly reelected president have internationally and especially among its neighbors. Its an interesting one i mean as i mentioned theres no theres no president s come to the no gration which tells its own story but in terms of for Example International lending organizations like the world bank who are speaking to someone whos actually involved in the negotiations between the president the opposition yes they said one of the strong points about mr nunn this is that hes hes made some sort of stability in honduras in the eyes of the International World and in the international in the series able to get those funds a guy the United States as well which is really the biggest Foreign Force to do with tourists they give a lot of money here theyve got a military base here they see him as a strong ally in the the war against drugs and the president trumps of ministration didnt rubber stamp this electoral visit victory and that was really seen this is a sign that it was all over for the opposition so he isnt without allies i think its really internally this sort of problem of legitimacy going through the home and with the latest from honduras and goosing out there thank you. And much more to come on the news hour including of risking their lives to get into europe and aljazeera special reports on the dangerous new people smuggling route thats attracting thousands of migrants also will be in albania where thousands of taking to the streets accusing their governments of links to organized crime and then sports former world number one goal for rory mcilroy he remains in the hunt at his first competitive event since october. But first one of the worlds richest men the billionaire saudi prince. Has been released from detention and says he will be cleared of corruption charges within days hes been held in the Ritz Carlton Hotel in riyadh since november along with about two hundred others its all part of what the government is calling an Anti Corruption campaign ordered by the crown Prince Mohammed bin someone on the hawks reports. Just hours before billionaire saudi prince and waleed bin talib was released from the Ritz Carlton Hotel in riyadh he conducted an interview with the Reuters News Agency from the suite where hed been confined been tile is one of saudi arabias most prominent business men and one of the worlds richest men but hed been held for more than two months accused of corruption in the interview he described the entire situation as a misunderstanding not charges ok just some discussions with him and we got you know i mean but the rest assured that this is.

The government says one hundred twenty four billion dollars is expected to be seized from more than two hundred individuals a group that is said to include the owner of the n. B. C. Television network as well as several other senior princes observers say the crackdown has allowed been someone to do far more than simply consolidate power i think there are two things here its about money because the sorrow the. Government is facing Financial Difficulties because of the collapse of the oil prices over the past few years. Mr man is having very ambitious economic plan actually to be from the kingdom so he needs the cash money in order to carry on with this project but this is not the only issue the other issue in my opinion here is that hes trying to create a popular base of support for him because all these people are in fact corrupt. Entirely his firm hold stakes in Companies Like twitter citi group an apple is estimated to be worth seventeen. Billion dollars his release could potentially reassure investors but analysts believe the timing of his interview with reuters as the World Economic forum met in davos was no coincidence having someone like prince to allow for example speak out publicly as he did yesterday shows that you know the saudis are trying to use him as somewhat the poster child of liberalism theyre trying to appeal to investors overseas saying we realize that what we did and the way we did it with that bird last year we saw completely undermined big Business Confidence and Investor Confidence in saudi arabia entire has told reuters he expects to remain in full control of his Global Investment without being required to give up his assets to the government.

Turkish Security Forces say they were arresting more and more refugees and migrants on the land the border with northern greece the most popular route had been crossing the sea but a new way of getting there has now emerged the route takes refugees overland to europe from istanbul in western turkey to villages near the border with greece from there the refugees have to cross the wide and Dangerous River everal switches the International Frontier traffickers then leave them to walk for hours through forests on the greek side as lauren sleeve reports now from western turkey thousands are still willing to risk their lives to make their way to europe istanbul isnt well known as a gathering point for refugees yet there is all the evidence you need but a significant smuggling operation is based here. In the central districts of people from all kinds of places. Like either fast so eritrea sri lanka pakistan. Nobody wants to tell you much about their plans but they do spend a lot of time on the phones. All the refugees are tried the same thing how the deal is done in the nearby coffee houses smugglers charge up to two thousand dollars. And when day turns to night some of those smugglers will tell you just how big the traders. We do three trips a week there are others working to the trip every day in istanbul there are more than fifty smugglers we take forty fifty sixty people a week it depends on time we took seventy five people in one trip these two who are kurdish and syrian former refugees used to smuggle people across the aegean sea to the greek islands but not anymore this is much better. Story a lot of course the waves are too big in the sea we have worked there and its too dangerous it was difficult at the laundromat is easier. The river border is one hundred fifty kilometers long this vast nothingness might feel safer to the traffic is than the sea but its still hugely dangerous on the greek side theyre a forest of mountains the refugees call the jungle the wild boar and wolves up there being eaten is a genuine concern. The smugglers drive the refugees to tiny depopulated villages where they hide out in abandoned buildings. In this amulets the farmer said the army had captured refugees each of the last two days this man tried it and failed his face hidden as he was still in fear of the smugglers muffy though its like nothing exists here in total darkness you might be attacked by wild animals in the forest anything you can imagine could happen to you it makes you paranoid we werent allowed to put any lights on we were following the smuggler we got to the river and they pushed us into a dinghy. Even in daytime the wide river valley is treacherous in the winter water is everywhere and wasnt difficult to find signs of life discarded belongings and supplies at night time navigating a path through all this even before getting to the much wider river would be terrifying we had already seen images from the greek side of those whose attempts to cross across and their lives either from drowning or hypothermia and everywhere we drove up and down the river especially the places where greece feels close enough to touch the turkish Security Forces with there but virtually nobody else well that hill is greece the Turkish Military say that last year they caught a full fifty thousand people trying to cross the border in places like this as a thousand people a week and its exactly the same as what the people traffickers told us given that this looks like one of the most important border crossings for refugees in the middle east trying to get into the European Union and because its so. Bleak and so remote it seems supposed everybody boy. The turkish Security Forces didnt reply to our requests to film with them but the state agency released these from attic pictures of the soldiers at work defeating the darkness and capturing the group trying to escape the European Union to likes to see this sort of thing we see is all through all the new front line in europes battle against the refugees or ensley al jazeera and the Turkey Greece border. Well as we saw in that report many of those making the risky journey to europe started off in Africa Nicholas hock has been talking to one man in senegal who told him why hes so theyre trying to leave his country behind yusuf in the us doesnt want to be here hes tried twice to go to france and failed both times.

Despite joint efforts by Police Forces and coast guards from both european and african countries the trafficking of migrants and refugees continues. The u. N.

There are no official numbers of migrants have actually made it to europe some have drowned in the mediterranean others have died of thirst hunger in the desert and then there are those who have been taken as slaves. We were sold by senegalese traffickers not arabs our own brothers sold us to the arabs my family had to pay fifteen hundred dollars to free me. This is against his brother senegalese rapper who made it to france he paid for us to be freed and sends money back to his family in this zone he explains why so many want to leave africa he says its the shame of not being able to support your children your parents is the shame of seeing your loved ones are able to eat the shame of lead unable to provide for their family that pushes them to leave.

Peace talks on finding a solution to the war in syria have wrapped up in vienna with little progress once again the Syrian Opposition says it will not attend the russian backed summit to be held in sochi next week. Bill hamid is in vienna she spoke to a member of the opposition delegation and he explained their position. This round in vienna was meant to be a real test for the commitment to the implementation of us are good to go so the solution to two five four and what the details in it unfortunately this test has been plain they failed the test both the regime and those who are supporting that he deemed to continue surviving now based on that is all of the thought that there could be commitment decisions could have been made regarding what russias proposing unfortunately the test was where is this going to go i mean how many times are you guys going to attend talks with the indian name geneva or anywhere else and each and every time theres no outcome absolutely all right but you have to think of the person who is trying to obstruct the political process from the very beginning of the g. M. Has selected the military solution to be the strategy for just silencing people however the world of a political solution should Un Security Council resolutions that is somebody who is working against these political attempts of the Political Solutions and finding ways and means to obstruct the yuan from just doing its job it is a challenge not only to the Syrian People it is a challenge to the un its its because the Council Resolutions this is the problem its been hailed as the future of finance and criticize theres a bubble thats about to burst but at the World Economic forums annual meeting in switzerland Digital Currencies like bitcoin have dominated the agenda Everyone Wants to know more about the Block Chain Technology on which they are built so the hall has more now from the us. There was Something Different about the davos prominent this year cryptocurrency said arrived they became household names in two thousand and seventeen now believers say the Underlying Technology block chain is the future but usual suspects are your before any feel your life or a ripple and so forth there is fraud there are. But i dont think thats the majority of it youre going to build a block train across africa exactly what does that actually mean one person who tried to explain it was jamie smith former Obama Deputy Press Secretary turned block chain promoter you think about it its like a train track between you and me the black chain or the rail in the car and tired of it is the digital tokens im attaching any assets or anything im sending it to you and i do that on that car and that car is a digital token of the most famous whats. That clears that up there this week it felt like the only buzz in town is donald trump but off the hind ves doors the trump name is barely mentioned because here they are party like its ninety ninety four zero in the one nine hundred ninety four the beginning of the internet yes lets go get em in the fervor thats happening in the world today the market today is in this room that theyre buzzing that theres a new thing that the internet is information now we have the internet of money with the internet of value and we can do the internet of law in the smart contracts we can do Artificial Intelligence through this site on the internet a Value Exchange is going to be bigger than the block chain enthusiastic tend not to underplay its potential we are creating a new financial infrastructure for the world were going to see pretty much everything that we do as humans be put on this ledger so that we can prove that were being trustworthy but there are those willing to sound a note of caution now with becoming the. Very speculative so just going to take a step back you can read up to do a little. Look jane technologys ninety ninety full moment has already seen currencies like bitcoin rise in value by eight hundred percent in twelve months the Growth Potential of block chain is such that around here the cool core in yesterdays news joho aljazeera davos for more on this were joined by june in walls a Technology Reporter for the online news site quartz thanks so much for being here with us now we sort of heard on jonah holes report the explanation of what block chain is just give us your definition of what it is well you can think of a block chain as a way for multiple parties to come to agreement about the contents of a particular ledger or database its a general term for that ok all right so i mean it was also described this sort of like a train track and and block chain would be the track so whereas i guess the internet transports information the block chain would be what you can think of blocks in as a way to transport value so the bitcoin block chain allows people to transport value in the form of Bitcoin Transactions ok i mean so we mentioned bitcoin obviously that seems to be the word on everyones lips and i mean obviously some people in the offices were hearing theyre calling it yesterdays news im not quite sure where theyre yet but we do think a block chain along the terms of cryptocurrency is what other uses could it have or does it have sure its confusing because you know crypto currencies are the biggest and oldest block chains in use currently but you know Companies Like i. B. M. And maersk the shipping line theyre trying to use block chains to reduce friction in trade finance for example this is a way to reduce cost and allow people to share data more easily and conveniently and apparently amy a lot of the articles also mention that it would make it harder for hackers to get information which as weve seen especially in the past few months has been a huge issue. For a lot of Major Companies yeah i mean theoretically a block chain because its decentralized or distributed among multiple parties could improve the security of that data but we dont have very good evidence yet because no big private block chain is really in widespread explain what you mean when you say its the centralized so im guessing you know a big Internet Company would have a major database how would block chain work thats different so you can think of it as for example you know walmart nestle indoors some the worlds Biggest Food Companies they want to create a block chain system to share data about their Food Supply Chains and so instead of that data residing solely with nestle or dollar walmart the collective the maintain this database together so its a shared database that they all have ownership it was interesting in that report by john a whole if there were people there saying that they were as excited about this says they were about the proper birth of the internet back in the early ninetys i mean do you think its on that scale i think its you can make a very good argument that it is so make the argument i think you know in the transportation of value and identity for example the internet was not really set up for that and block chains could be a way to resolve some of those fundamental issues with the original and again dealing security money yes one of those issues ok so it again its not that its associated with bitcoin necessarily its just that big question is is the most known aspect though or you know something that block chain is is used for using block chain would ever have that direct interaction with users i mean on you know people can go in and invest in bitcoin and buy so how would it work with block china would we never as users really deal with it directly right well a lot of the use cases that corporations are working on would have use a block chain on the back and so you know banks for example of the Australian Stock Exchange they want to use a block she. Into the settlement of Equities Trading so you as a user you may never actually directly interact with but so but the Bank Transfer that i would make on my usual way snoozing a block ok so id use it without knowing yeah ok well its thank you so much for explaining it it sounds fascinating and im sure well be talking about a lot more in the months to come julian wall from courts magazine thank you. Now this mr employees of the Saudi Construction Company always share are demanding their salaries its been almost two years since they were paid all share was forced to close last summer and it was owned by the family of lebanons Prime Minister saad hariri as in the heart of reports from beirut the employees have now become political bargaining chips.

Leach encourages one of chinas master carvers using skills learned over a lifetime working with a material that he says has no equal ivory. Is the best material to work with not too hard and the not too soft in spite of the ban he is determined to pass on his skills to his apprentices his workshop like others in china is now using mammoth tusk from russia dug out of the ground from animals that died thousands of years ago early human ancestors first learned their carving skills with it. Even thirteen thousand years ago humans were using a car so one of their earliest materials were worth with. As the biggest market for ivory in the world chinas ban on the trade is seen as vital for the African Elephant after years of ivory poaching and smuggling. Lease says he never worked with poached ivory and fears his skills may now be lost if carving goes out of fashion apprentice li yang is determined to learn the craft regardless. Even though i dont make much money my familys support and i really appreciated where i explain to my friends the importance or car wink in Chinese Culture hes been learning for eight years i do still considered a novice. A basic apprenticeship is ten years it takes at least twenty years to become a professional carver and with more than fifty years experience. Reckons hes still learning. Some ivory carving techniques have already been lost and it would be very easy to lose their skills altogether and that he says would be not only chinas loss but the worlds problems pride aljazeera beijing.
