Security forces in the runup to the tax have been arresting them as part of a broader sweep against the pkk and the islamic state. As for the other attacks, the Police Station in istanbul and the attacks in the predominantly kurdish southeast of these are seen as the work of the pkk, the kurdish rebel group, which had a piece process collapsed last month between the turkish state and the pkk. You saw was a vision airstrikes against the pkk, and they are retaliating you saw a resumption of airstrikes against the pkk, and they are retaliating. Sarah retaliation in response to that increased military campaign. Is there concern in istanbul where you are that we could see more attacks like this . Dorian i mean, there is a deep concern in istanbul and across the country, particularly at the speed of events. You have to recall in the german general election, the great seeing of optimism, the first time the prokurdish party had been elected. The Peace Process was still continuing. In a matter of a few weeks the countries looking at the prospect of a possible resumption of a fullscale conflict which occurred in the 1990s, which claimed 40,000 lives and million displaced people and a bankrupt economy. There was a great deal of concern about the speed of events and the direction of them. Sarah a great deal of concern in deed Jermaine Jones in istanbul, thank you.

I could see all the smoke and dust rising out. I saw a body on the ground and there was a person on fire inside the vehicle. Kabul was already on highland after a wave of attacks last week killed at least 50 people. Observers believe they are linked to a leadership dispute within the telegram. That was sparked by last weeks revelation that the founder mullah omar was dead. Security experts believe the new taliban leader may be ordering attacks to distract attention from internal rifts. Afghan president Ashraf Donnie condemned the latest ashraf ghani condemned the latest incidents. The incidents in the past two months in general and particularly the incidents of recent days prove that suicide bomber Training Centers and bomb making factories, which are continually used to kill our innocent people, are active inside that country. The Northern Province is also affected. This the side of the suicide blast that killed 29 on saturday. Many question the governments ability to stop the carnage without the german peacekeepers who used to be based here. We want security and stability from the government so we can live in a peaceful environment. We have been suffering from war and conflicts for almost two years. The fresh wave of violence demonstrates afghanistans continuing volatility. Peace talks with the taliban seem unlikely to resume anytime soon. Sarah lets bring in a reporter. Why are we seeing this increased spike of attacks in afghanistan . Waslat the spike of violence has come after internal rifts within the Group Leadership has deepened after the confirmation of the groups supreme leader, mullah omar, which have been kept secret for almost two years. Some experts say that this is a clear signal that the violent the violence is a clear signal that the new leader does not want the Peace Process in the country. Sarah if mullah omar, as has been articulated, has been dead for two years now, why is this having an effect now . Waslat most of the taliban fighters had no idea about his death. It was being kept secret for almost two years. And now that the news is out, the taliban are thinking to themselves, who have i been talking to the whole time, and whose command have i been listening to . This is what we are observing right now. Sarah what does this mean for peace talks . We hear they have been put on hold. Is that an indefinite status afte . Waslat his comments suggested that the Peace Processs debt for now but he is sending a delegation to pakistan on thursday and we will see what will happen after that, and if they will take new steps towards the Peace Process. It depends on what pakistan is deciding to do. Sarah what does all of this mean about the taliban . When we look at afghanistan, it is a force to be reckoned with. Is its power increasing or decreasing, especially in light of the recent attacks and the powershift . Waslat well, the attacks can be seen as a weakness and strength, because, first of all, the telegram cannot launch. Attacks in the capital of the country, but they are using tactics like suicide attacks. At the same time, we have to ask ourselves why is this happening in the capital, and security in places that are so highly secured by the airport . Sarah waslat, thank you. We appreciate a good we shift our focus to the united states, where ferguson, missouri is in a state of emergency after police exchanged gunfire with an 18yearold man.

All i see is inadequate process. Oic is a process that is happening with no results. Reporter black Community Leaders say they have had enough and are committed to ask losing racial bias by Law Enforcement officers. Whatever the outcome of their efforts, the next few days are expected to be tense in this part of the u. S. Sarah and for more, lets bring in dw correspondent Richard Walker, standing by in a studios in washington, d. C. A state of emergency in st. Louis. What is expected in the next 24 hours . Richard yes, well, we are going to have to wait and see, sarah. Obviously a very tense situation unfolding there being watched closely from here in washington. Loretta lynch, the attorney general, is leading this whole subject area for the obama administration, and she has come out and condemned the violence that took place last night. She says it undermined the message of the protesters. Of course, most of the protesters would agree wholeheartedly with that. So far, today has been one of peaceful protests in ferguson and in neighboring st. Louis, a day of civil disobedience, in fact. Tensions have been very much laid bare their. There have been many arrests, as many as 50, as protests outside the scene was federal courthouse, and many of those people being arrested are prominent civil rights leaders, members of the clergy, and so on. Not violent protesters for people who might be a moderating influence in a situation on the streets tonight. There is some concern in st. Louis and in ferguson that those people are not in the crowd tonight, if they are not out on the streets, the situation could be worse still. Sarah we know the situation typically gets worse as nightfall comes to meantime, there is a man who has been shot by police. He is in Critical Condition there. What more do we know about him .

We are starting with business now and officials in athens are optimistic an agreement might be reached as early as tuesday, only two hours from now. Any deal will have to be ratified by national parliaments, including berlin. Many here objects to handing out more funding to greece, saying that germany has lost enough money already. That is quite true. A recent study found that the German Government actually gain from the crisis. Reporter it is a constant refrain, that spendthrift greeks are costing germans a fortune, who work so hard to in their money. But now a study by di debbie Way Research Institute says that germany has done quite well out of the crisis. Since 2010, germany has been able to save 100 billion euros in Interest Payments on its sovereign bonds. That is far more than the sum greece owes germany directly or indirectly. That is partly 90 billion euros. Germany has profited mainly because during the crisis Global Investors on german lines is a safe asset. With demand so i, berlin was able to cut the interest it had to pay on his months to attract investors. Anytime that it came under the financial spotlight in recent years, german bond rates fell again. While that is good for the state, private savers have lost a potential fortune because they also only get rockbottom interest on their deposits. Monika now, those of you who are not familiar with Warren Buffetts latest investment probably know his Investment Firm makes a lot of money. He is all set to make even more. Berkshire hathaway spying position cast is buying precision castparts, the biggest ever acquisition. The Company Makes industrial components for aircraft and power plants, among many other things. Berkshire hathaway is known for being involved in large transactions, among them the accommodation of kra combination of kraft and heinz.

All these investments are paid for by the company could not only is it one of the worlds most viable fronts, but since 2006, the value of its assets has more than doubled. And because of company, and im sure wall street is watching everything going on with bated breath. Lets see how the latest acquisition went down on the trading floor. Our financial correspondent in new york i hope we can see him now. Brilliant. Good to have you here with us. How is fostered reacting to this latest multibilliondollar deal wall street reacting to this latest multibillion dollar deal . Jens overall he is a pretty good track record when it comes to acquisitions so traders on wall street believe he knows what he is doing as the stock of Berkshire Hathaway went down a little bit, but then, the price tag is pretty high. If you include that were not just 32, while i37 billion dollars. The company he buys is not necessarily a household name here in the united states. Precision castparts specializes mostly in the aerospace industry. Monika you mentioned already it is a hefty price tag, even for warren buffett. What does that mean . Jens well, what does mean is that Berkshire Hathaway or warren buffett, they have the money. Berkshire hathaway is roughly sitting on 67 billion in cash. Warren buffett once said that he feels comfortable to have a cushion of 20 billion. That gave them some room to not make this big acquisition to now make this big acquisition. He also mentioned in an interview on monday that he is probably not going to go after big firms very soon. He basically mentioned it will take at least 12 months to reload before we might see another fake acquisition for Berkshire Hathaway. Sarah all right, i would like to have a fraction of that little cushion. Thank you very much. Monika the recession in russia has deepened over the past few months.

Still, the russian guest monopoly could stand to profit from the week ruble. The firm sells and dollars, which easily beat russias to mr. Currency in value. Monika that is all from the business desperate act as our delegate the business desk. Back to sarah kelly. Sarah the European Union has approved 2. 4 billion euros of funding to help eu countries cope with a surge in the number of migrants. The lion share of the sixyear program will go to italy and greece. The u. N. Refugee agency says that nearly 200,000 people have arrived in europe by see this year for the time coast guard says that more than 1000 people were rescued on monday.

But it appears the popularity as a destination for migrants is growing by the day. Sarah and many of the migrants arriving in europe have their sights set on the u. K. , but thousands end up in what is known as the jungle. Earlier, British Foreign minister Philip Hammond defended himself against criticism for using the word marauding to describe the migrants. Mr. Hammond we have a significant number of people around the area moving in numbers, and because they are moving en masse in numbers, they can pose a threat to the security of the tunnel, which was the context in which the question was asked. Sarah for more, lets go to rome from the u. N. Refugee agency. Thank you for being with us. We are that some of the line which being used to describe this crisis, to describe the plight of migrants, such as marauding, they have been described as a swarm how damaging is this type of language . Beat we would appreciate much more just language. We are talking about human beings, first of all. We have refugees, asylum seekers, and we may have economic migrants. Lets talk about human beings and they are in need of assistance and help. Sarah how important is it to distinguishing between asylumseekers, refugees, and economic migrants . Beat these are the basics we have today. The rules and regulations dominating international obligations. Refugees are clearly persons having fled their own country, perscuted in their own country, calling from war zones. The eritreans are clearly refugees and any protections. And asylumseekers someone claiming to be a refugee. We have to look into his or her case to see if she or he qualifies to be a refugee. Finally, we have economic migrants, which do not have access to International Protection rights but are still human beings and should be treated as human beings.
