Unfortunately at the moment, no. unless they really enter very forcefully and tell the taliban that if they don t stop there onslaught, there will be a serious consequences, and i hate to say, but unless they really go back and with really strong force, there is no way that they can save afghanistan. here in the uk, a vigil has been held in memory of the five people killed by a gunman in plymouth on thursday, in the uk s worst mass shooting in over ten years. the dead include the mother of the gunman, who was the first to die, and a three year old girl, sophie martin, who d been out for a walk with her father who was also shot dead. 0ur correspondentjon kay has the latest from keyham. plymouth is hurting tonight. in this neighbourhood, everyone knows one another,
