Monkeys to dangerous fumes with the goal of telling the public that diesel is clean and. Prices and politics at this years Grammy Awards in new york as female musicians confront Sexual Harassment in the Recording Industry but the nine belong to bruno mars who took home six grand. Im going to have you with us tonight afghanistan is reeling from yet another terrorist attack suicide bombers and gunmen targeted a military academy in the capital kabul killing at least eleven soldiers socalled Islamic State has claimed responsibility its the third terror incident in this city in just one week and its part of a wave of deadly violence which also when the. Theres no escaping the military presence on the streets of kabul for the third time within days attackers have killed victims in the Afghan Capital this time the target was the army itself militants including suicide bombers stormed a battalion near the marshall funny military academy and began an onslaught afghans are turning their fury on the government. Look at whats happening to this nation youre not able to control the Current Situation its better that the security ministers resign whats kind of government at ministry is this youre not even able to secure the city. The Afghan DefenseMinistry Says two gunmen were killed in the exchange of fire and two others died off to detonating the suicide vests one of the was arrested now people want to know how the attacks keep happening in a city already on to tighten security measures. Im joined now here at the big table by our correspondents painters munshi is an expert on terrorism in south asia and she has worked for many years you may know as a correspondent in afghanistan its good to have you here on the show so lets talk about kabul why are we seeing such a big surge in violence. Well the only logic to this war seems escalation the tit for tat policy we see an increase of asked trikes for instance of drone strikes in the countryside and that means you have to react somewhere if you will from the posing side let it be taliban that it is fly mixtape so that brings people to kabul because if you manage to you know harm government they are thats most visible to everyone to International Media to you know Afghan People thats why you can really cause carnage and damage and the thing thats one of the reasons and the other one i may add here is thats what a lot of analysts say. We see at the same time the United States pressuring pakistan when might just be a coincidence in time but you know the moment the pressure grew in that precise moment we also see an uptick in violence in afghanistan and you know you mentioned Islamic State and the taliban they have been responsible for you know these three incidents weve seen in the last week does that mean anything because usually we talk about the taliban in afghanistan and now Islamic State is playing a greater role or at least it seems to be what has been on the ground in afghanistan pretty much as a solid force since two thousand and fifteen growing so at the beginning a lot of people said its disgruntled members from the Pakistani Taliban being pushed over the border then also just granted members of the Afghan Taliban alliances in afghanistan are very fluid have been over a period of nearly four years a decade so yes you have two forces on the ground competing but they do have a common enemy which is United States which is the western alliance which is the Afghan Government do you see the possibility and you know you have to look into your crystal ball but do you see a possibility maybe of Islamic State until they wanted some point. Merging or if not merging at least learning to coexist maybe a sim b. O. s is there a positive coexistence i mean you see them fighting each other especially in eastern afghanistan which is the stronghold of the Islamic State a country you see them marching because the Afghan Taliban a pretty much nationalistic in its outlook theyre really focused on afghanistan why the i. A. S. Of course with the whole idea of a caliphate has a much broader approach and much bigger International Appeal they want to strike abroad as well theyre not you know exclusively focusing on afghanistan as do the taliban what does all of this mean for president musharrafs go unused government and just the basic security of the country well i think is really against the wall with respect you know his eye. Government is disintegrating theres a lot of infighting war mongering you know amongst his own rings he has fired the one of the most powerful governess in northern but province in december that guy govern not just president gandhi you know if he concept of the capital how can you possibly secure the entire country so i mean there are many elections planned for june lets see what happens there might still be called off if this wave of what violence continues between now and june the maternity in afghanistan anywhere so it isnt as always good to have you on the shore thank you. Here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world observers does say at least sixteen civilians have been killed in government airstrikes on syrias lived province and that brings the death toll to some thirty three people since sunday it libya is the only province in syria under the control of Opposition ForcesGovernment Troops have been making advances in recent weeks israels Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu is in moscow for talks with russian president Vladimir Putin the two were expected to discuss israels concerns about an expansion of irans military involvement in syria russia has close relations with both countries thousands of people have reportedly been left homeless following a fire at a slum in kenyas capital nairobi the blaze at the gotta slum broke out sunday evening at least four people are believed to have done. And meeting in brussels the e. U. Ministers have agreed to offer the United Kingdom a twenty one month transition period after it leaves the e. U. Next year Officials Say the u. K.

Here in germany there is public outrage tonight at the latest installment of the dirty diesel gate scandal german car makers are facing allegations that they paid for toxic emissions tests on monkeys and humans now the aim was reportedly to give diesel a good name again and to secure valuable tax breaks it clearly backfired. Here at the University Clinic and in two thousand and thirteen and fourteen a group of twenty five Healthy People were made to inhale nitrogen dioxide in varying concentrations over periods of hours several times a week manufacturers wanted to use the tests to determine exactly how dangerous nitrogen dioxide was to humans the tests were commissioned by the European Research organization for environment and health and financed by german car makers v. W. B. M. W. And german pot supplier bosch the study was supposed to be conducted under the cover that they were to be no negative effects on the human subjects but the methods which have now been revealed have let loose a wave of indignation. Its absolutely understandable that people are outraged that tests on monkeys and even on human beings cannot be ethically justified. That amounts to nothing more than hot air according to environmental organizations they say the German Government has been in bed with the automotive lobby for years. Mrs merkel is really the first chancellor and she even fights in brussels to make sure that Emissions Regulations are less strict and if possible not controlled. And it seems there were no controls at volkswagen either the Supervisory Board says it knew nothing about the studies and is now threatening consequences. To complex complex is reprehensible ethically morally and in that sense i think b. W. Will have to hold the employees who are responsible for this accountable so they can shift. These revelations will deliver another blow to the german car industrys image.

Correspondent catherine on one go has been following that summit in addis ababa for us earlier we asked her what exactly the participants have agreed upon. Well apart from the single aspace market they have also union rather than depending on the u. S. And the e. U. Funding as you know right now the funding or the budget back of union is funded seventy four percent by. Today by the European Union and by the united United States so what they are the looking at is trying to move away from that and there seems to be some consensus but then we also saw discussions over the dispute over the not what if the opiah is building a dam on the nile and that could affect the water supply into egypt so weve seen this these countries hoping to find an agreement by the end of next month to to dissolve that particular dispute and see how both countries can coexist.
