journalist from the daily telegraph joins us from kabul with the latest. what s happening today, and could this escalate? well, it seems to have already escalated. today s protests seem to be more violent and more furious than yesterday. there are several hundred people on the eastern side of kabul trying to get into the city center. they ve burned shops. there are reports that shots have been fired in the air to try to stop them. there are also protests in the eastern city of jie lal bad, where a dr. told us that one person has been shot dead and ten wounded. so it is escalating already. ben farmer from the uk s daily telegraph. thank you. kevin rudd has resigned as australia s foreign minister. he made the announcement as a hastily convened press conference in washington. he told them he would not be involved in a, quote, stealth attack on a prime minister. there had been speculation that rudd was trying to challenge julia gillard for leadership amid reports she w
laps. every day when i come into this building, it s still amazing to me, a sense of wonder, how did this happen? how did i become governor? you shake your head. the piers morgan interview starts now. governor, thank you for inviting me to your lair here. yes. four pictures of bruce springsteen. he doesn t even like you. i like him. it s unrequited love. i got to hang with it. talking unrequited love, i know for a fact you have been watching my show because donald trump told me. given you watch my show, you ll note my favorite question is how many times have you been properly in love, which leads me to the fundamental issue about mitt romney, why so few members of his own party properly in love with mitt romney? i think there s two things at play here. the first is that he s a very reserved guy. and so in the time that we re in right now, a very tumultuous angry emotional time, at the moment, reserved is not necessarily what the primary electorate seems to want. i
but it s been a very violent day. much more violent, much more furious than the protests yesterday. we have a final death toll we believe of six dead and 30 wounded. perhaps six different protests across the country. so it seems to have escalated significantly today. and president karzai actually put out a statement, right? what did he say? reporter: yeah, he put out a statement this afternoon. a lot of people are waiting to see what he ll say. he said he condemned the burning and he ordered an investigation into what had happened and he appointed committee of senior clerics to find out what was going on. i think the key thing was that he condemned the burning. that s actually our ben farmer in kabul there. we apologize. it s not always easy to link up technically, but we will stay with ben on this story. ben, i apologize. we lost your audio. an american woman who reported on the violence in syria has now become a victim of it. marie colvin worked for the sunday times o
