And im peter stone was in doha with the latest sports our top story denmarks Caroline Wozniacki has won her first ever grand slam title at the Australian Open she beats about one hundred in the final in melbourne. First to afghanistan where a bomb attack in the capital has killed at least ninety five people and injured more than one hundred fifty dollars the explosives were hidden in an ambulance allowing 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 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 a hospital and a school the area is usually bustling with people emerge and the services evacuated offices shops 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 siege 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 training they need. Experience but theyve gone on the other hand theyre very devoted. 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 cobbler. Of saturdays attack is just the latest in a wave of violence on december the twenty eighth and i still 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 see which saw twenty five People Killed and one hundred fifty guests desperately fleeing including some who used bed sheets to hang from the building and then on wednesday i saw fighters storm the offices of save the children in the eastern city of jalalabad four people were killed in that attack and the aid agency announced it would suspend its operations in the country well im in the lab b. B. A former advisor to ice at the nato mission in afghanistan says the International Community this is take action to stop the security situation getting even worse. During good winter time when the fighting stops on the frontlines then day terrorist attacks into cities goes all in order to keep the country on say for sure that the countrys on safe normally does there is some this insurgence 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 these chains of attacks in the past week or month shows that that probably the insurgents and organizations behind in the region try to pierce the u. S. A new strategy in the next year or so the security situation will improve because they are investing a lot on their Security Services and also they are supporting the afghan air power so that they are capable to defend their territories we will see some improvements probably on the military side but it depends whether 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 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 under the umbrella of eisel you know regional. Players trying to to perpetrate these attacks and then say that i say claim that its not the middle east afghanistan a separate country its it has a separate culture that does not let. 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 this to to show the resolve i think they know or who perpetrates you know these attacks didnt know the roots of these attacks didnt know where their planet so didnt need to go in and take action. Riot police have fired tear gas on protesters in the honduran capital to. They took to the streets as president one orlando and this was being thrown in for a second term the opposition led by salvadoran us rather say there were regularities in the vote counting john homan has more from to feel. They still a Strong Police presence outside of the National Stadium where not long ago president one and then this gave his swearing an address for his second term its also five rings of security that would put in place during that swearing in ceremony and that was to keep it by protesters who felt that hed won the election fraudulent really its been about two months of protests in full dura since those elections and all those numbers have gone down before there were tens of thousands now today maybe one or two thousand that we witnessed that were protesting the anger really remains now president and this has to make an attempt to unite the country to make the barest mention of dialogue and unity in his inaugural address but hes going to have to come to terms with that hes also going to have to deal with other problems that he did outline plans for him both the Child Poverty in honduras or roads on the his first term unemployment which is also high in the Country Security which he did actually monies from improve the number of home the sides in honduras he was the deadliest country. There has to work from of course things in certain times and the like this divide the country and the next four years will be in charge. Of more on the situation in honduras less the two alleys on the main hes a specialist on latin america the center for economic and policy research in washington d. C. Thanks very much for coming on aljazeera to talk about this as john mentioned that there is still anger on the streets over a thousand people demonstrating jury in the inauguration and isnt anything the opposition though can now do is it a done deal he is now the president. I think it is absolutely a done deal there were some possibilities to contest the results and the courts of honduras have rejected you know many complaints that have come from the opposition so thats why really theyre left with nothing more than to take to the streets and really i think. These elections are seen widely as illegitimate not just within honduras but also internationally the organization of american states had an Electoral Observation Mission that you know decided that the elections had so many irregularities so many problems that really they called for new elections the head of the organization of american states was a logger also called for new elections but of course you know the big player in the region is the United States the u. S. Has backed water longer hernandos throughout his first term and is backing him now in his second term his message today was of reconciliation what do you think he needs to do to try and even attempt to do that and indeed can we trust that that is what he wants to do. No i dont think we can trust that thats what he wants to do and really not at all what weve seen under his first term is that the courts have been stacked to really with his cronies the country has become more militarized. This is been accompanied by the killing of Many Political activists. The famous activist burt the casserole a great champion of ecological indigenous causes in the country for instance was assassinated and theres a great deal of evidence that points the involvement of military. Military intelligence of hunger in this is estimation so i think theres a great deal of distrust i think really theres you know a popular clamor in favor of new elections again that was backed internationally by the organization of american states want to live who are not as chose to completely ignore that i think his administration will widely be seen as illegitimate john in his report that its a little bit about poverty a bit about the need for the economy to be turned around do you think this new president is capable of doing that from what weve seen so far how much of a change would that be to attend this around. I think its very difficult when you have this degree of instability in the country along with a government thats notoriously corrupt and in fact the Outgoing Congress which is controlled by the ruling the governing party just passed a law that effectively block blocks corruption investigations for the next three years against Public Officials so theyre seen as protecting themselves and you know many high level actors within the government and associated with the government are allegedly implicated in Drug Trafficking just two days ago the Associated Press reported the head of the police just named an internal report within the hundred government actually alleges that he is implicated in protecting a major shipment of cocaine that went through the country similar allegations against the security minister it really looks like a narco state and so its difficult to attract investment its difficult to have sort of stable Economic Growth in that sort of context we really appreciate your thoughts thanks very much for coming on to say it to text saying that this. Much more to come on this news hour risking their lives to get into europe and aljazeera a special report on the dangerous new people smuggling route thats attracting thousands of migrants wife thousands of albanians are accusing bag government of links to organized crime. And coming up in sports really as the real madrid return to winning ways peter will have that story later. One of the worlds richest man billionaire saudi prince our waleed bin talal has been released from detention and says hell 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 crown Prince Mohammed bin solomon had a hoax to 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 for 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 summoned to do far more than simply consolidate power i think there are two things here its about money because the saudi. Government is facing Financial Difficulties because of the collapse of the oil prices over the past few years. When mr man is having very ambitious economic plan actually to reform 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. Intaglio 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 last year we saw a completely undermined 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. And dismiss employees of the Saudi Construction Company are demanding their salaries its been almost two years since they were paid a share which was forced to close last summer was owned by the family of lebanons Prime Minister saad hariri and as they know how the reports from beirut the employees have now become political bargaining chips. But are has lost almost everything he returned home to lebanon from saudi arabia after working for the Construction Company saudi oshea for twenty two years it was a good life now this attic is his home. His children are all he has left but since he was laid off last summer taking care of them is hard. Are in an orphanage didnt just lose his job he is owed around sixty thousand dollars the company was in financial trouble before it closed down last july tens of thousands of saudi employees didnt receive their salaries for two years most even some of us not even my wife left me because of the situation ive had two heart attacks and i havent been able to afford to buy medicine for five months when i came back from riyadh i only had twenty dollars in my pocket. The Construction Company employed more than fifty thousand workers three thousand five hundred of them. And many of them spent. They have been holding protests hoping to receive their pay out eventually. We are demanding our rights but im not hopeful because this has become a political issue and not a humanitarian one. Forty years ago by the father of lebanons Prime Minister. Amassed the fortune in saudi arabia before he was assassinated the preferential treatment the company enjoyed a few years ago it wasnt because of oil prices and reduced saudi government spending. And. Government is believed to over the company billions of dollars government leaders. The company is indebted to. What happens. Prime minister could affect his popularity months before the election but the stakes are much higher. The top aide to the bar egyptian president for candidate sami unknown has reportedly been stabbed and badly beaten in the capital cairo and i was arrested on tuesday for incitement against the military this was shortly after he announced he was standing in marchs election Egypts Interior Ministry says his aide was injured in a dispute related to a car accident the aids lawyer says it was a failed kidnap attempt egyptian authorities have extended the detention of al jazeera journalist would his saying by an extra forty five days without trial its now been more than a year since he was arrested and jailed in egypt his detention has been renewed several times since then a saying is accused of broadcasting false news to spread chaos which he and al jazeera strongly deny. Turkish Security Forces say theyre arresting more and more refugees and migrants on the land border with northern greece the most popular routes had been crossing the aegean but a new way 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 ever us which is the International Front here traffickers then leave the refugees to walk for hours through forests on the greek side as honestly reports from western turkey thousands are willing to risk their lives doing it. Is done bull isnt well known as a gathering point for refugees yet there is all the evidence you need that a significant smuggling operation is based here. In the central districts of people from all kinds of places. Like either fast so there are a trail 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 or try the same thing for the deal is done in the nearby coffee houses smugglers charge up to two thousand dollars. And one day turns to night some of those smugglers will tell you just how big the trade is. We do three trips a week there are others working till theres a 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. So a lot of course the waves are too big in the sea we have work there and it is 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 the same surpassed everybody by. The turkish Security Forces didnt reply to our requests to film with them but the state agency released these dramatic 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 barnsley aljazeera and the Turkey Greece border. And you can see the second of lawrences special reports on the refugee crisis on sunday as a report from the everetts river in northern greece on accusations that the greek police are using violence and intimidation to stop refugees from crossing. As we saw in that many of those making the whiskey journey to europe started off in Africa Nicholas hacks been talking to one man in senegal we tell him why hes so determined 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.

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 a cynical 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 unable to eat the shame of med unable to provide for their family that pushes them to leave.
