hello. there were 3 people. the 1st one entered and killed the gatekeeper. and the remaining 2 entered the must hit. they were armed, they opened fire 1st, then all 3 detonate themselves together. many of my family members were killed there, then wow! ambulance crews rushed to the scene. casualties mounted. this is the largest shia mosque in kandahar. the province is taliban heartland. in the south of canis dawn, the groups birthplace and stronghold, and this significantly, the 1st attack of its kind here that is 2nd on is she a place of worship in 7 days. last friday she a mosque was attacked and conduce in the north east of the country. more than 60 people were killed as they to attended friday prayers. and i so suicide bomber entered and detonated his explosive. among them. there appears to have been an increase in pace and geographical scope and attacks carried out by iceland. afghanistan over the last couple of weeks on the taliban is always said that it is the only group able to maintain security across the country. with that premise is now being challenged. and despite the taliban saying it had the idol threat under control, just a few days ago, the interior ministry giving a press conference asking taliban fighters to be cautious among their ranks, hinting at concerns of infiltration. the holiday de la de la bars, so that if someone is found in any of

having to adapt from insurgency to governance. and despite a diplomatic push abroad, millions of dollars of much needed international donor money are still being withheld. as the international community demands a more inclusive government and the protection of women's rights and those of minorities agencies awarding of a humanitarian catastrophe. as the country is running severely low on

stephanie decker al jazeera cobble. the findings offered compensation to the family of victims of a drone strike in cabal. 10 afghan civilians including 7 children, were killed in the august 29 strong. and during the final days before the u. s. troop withdrawal and pentagon offered sincere condolences and says it'll work towards relocating, surviving family members to the u. s. for my kind of life for us in washington dc, might this was a tragic incident. it was widely regarded also as an embarrassment, the u. s. must be hoping this brings some sort of closure to things. well the thing is the beginning of the process, rob, because this is just the beginning of the discussions. no sons have been discussed . the compensation took place between the ceo of the n g o that employed, zachariah mighty, who was the employer who was killed along with 9 members of his family. it was a virtual consultation. on the other side was the under secretary of defense for policy. now they were basically opening discussions as to how compensation can be paid and down the line in discussion with louis. it will come up how much compensation is going to be paid. this is not unprecedented. back in 2019 more than 70 such cases were conducted. payments were made ranging from $135.00 to $35000.00. but why this is complicated is that normally these discussions are held by regional commanders on the ground. they all know us troops in afghanistan any more. so this is not being dealt with at a distance by the under secretary of state for defense, for the policy department. so he's talking to the c o n g o that employs the killed man. he will be talking to lawyers as well as that goes down the line. but further complicating this is that to the secretary of defense, lloyd austin, has guaranteed that the men surviving family will be repaired, crated to the united states or brought into the united states as is their wish. now this is a method that is dealt with by the state department. so what's another government organization that is going to need to get involved in this whole event, but you're quite correct. it was a great embarrassment for the us military. one must remember 2 to 3 weeks off to the attack off to the 10 were killed. during which period time, the pentagon insisted that it's carried out in attack on the suicide bomber. a took 3 weeks only off the news media reporting. otherwise, the pentagon admitted that it had committed a horrible mistake as it was put at the time. but now the discussion so opened, they will continue. complicated, as i said, by all those factors. mike, thank you very much. i my kind of talking to us from washington dc but it's please say the fatal stopping of u. k. politician david amos is a terrorist incident. the 69 year old was meeting members of the public church and his constituency. when he was attacked, a 25 year old has been arrested on suspicion of murder. that even baba reports from southeast england. does that conservative member of parliament died of his wounds having been stabbed several times during a meeting with his constituents in southeast england, essex police said a man had been arrested at the scene in a church hole in the seaside town of leon. see, the 25 year old was arrested on suspicion of murder and night was also recovered the investigation. it's very early stages and he's being led by officers from the specialist and counter terrorism commodity. we made it clear at the time of the incident that we did not believe there was any immediate threat to anyone else in the area. many in leon c found it hard to believe what happens. yes, i've heard anything bad about him. i tried to help people in that yes, crazy, and he was really involved in the political holes of westminster. meanwhile, shock and dismay, david with a man who believe passionate thee in this country and in its future. and we've lost to day a fine public servant and a much loved friend and colleague. ling time for debate. david amos had been the m p for south and west since 1997 and a conservative member of parliament since 1983. he was one of the longest serving members of the house of commons to talk about animal welfare generally cruelty to animals. a defender of animal rights colleagues describes david amos's kind, compassionate and well light. he said to have been keenly dedicated to his regular open door meetings with constituents and enjoyed bringing their concerns to the floor of the house. he's not the 1st m p to have been killed in the course of his duties. most infamous, in recent times was the murder of labor party, m. p. jo cox in her northern england constituency. in 2016. she was stabbed in short by a far right supporter a week before the bricks at referendum. it can't be beyond the width of man to provide some form of security to members of parliament whilst still respecting our tradition of being able to see your m p. so, you know, when it's coming up, you can roster on a police officer to be in the room if that's what it's going to take. david amos is killing, has clearly created a great amount of shock here in his constituency and around the country. but it's also raised once again, questions of how politicians can maintain contact with the public. they represent. nadine barbara al jazeera leon see in south east of england finance have been held in lebanon after 7 people were killed in bay woods, worst street violence in more than 10 years. armed men, including unidentified snipers on rooftops exchanged gunfire for more than 4 hours on thursday. the political party has bhalla and its allies had organized protests to demand the removal of a judge overseeing an investigation into the 2020 boot port explosion. the judges association has rejected calls to dismiss him. bernard smith is in bay roots were the latest on the blast investigation. and the fallout from thursdays fighting that most lebanese politicians don't seem to want this investigation to go on. they don't just want terry retire removing from his pros post as the leading, investigating judge that are interested in the investigation going on. because it's on billy unveiling and will unveil some dirty secrets. lincoln corruption and lebanese politicians judge retired and only want to speak to politicians allied to his bala. he wanted to speak to a christian general, a kristian politician. he wanted to speak to lebanon's former prime minister hassan doubt. so there were a wide range of people. he wanted to speak to and this investigation has the broad support of the lebanese population, because they not only want justice for the people who were killed in last year's explosion. but they want this as a demonstration, if you like, that there is still some to some sort of rule of law in lebanon and an ability to hold people accountable. a government is called a day of mornings, or most businesses and government offices

throw out medicine is because that would be most power cuts in recent months of counseling center is joining us live on skype from san juan, puerto rico. he's a former secretary of state and left handed governor of personal reasons. it's good to have you with a son, i'll just see. and so thank you very much. indeed, i've seen a variety of different figures about with regard to the size of the process. something anywhere between a 1000 people in 4000 is that representative of how people generally feeling about the situation in puerto rico. you know, basically i always go to google earth before i, before i had see these activities to measure the space. you know, and facts are fast and you know, you can't put a square meter for people can only put one per person per square meter. so i think it was more like a 1000 people. and i'm sorry, then fading. and it's really organizers falls because what they did was, instead of looking for the minimum common denominator and attract everybody who is, is as problems as norma, they only attracted those who are against privatization who are against my contract . who wants to go back to the political, electric power authority, which for 70 years mess up our electric system. but rico, so if they had reformulate the way that they attracted people to the, to the mark. you could have had 510152025000 people and not the meagre, no more than 1000 people that you had. but we have a private company. we just came in there doing some things, right. we're doing a lot of things wrong. and they have to get their act to get from the brief amount of reading that i was able to do with, as the company luma does seem to be stuck in an almost impossible situation. because in the one hand, it is trying to provide some sort of electrical supply, but it's also doing it with the power grid that is essentially being decimated by the, the phenomenon that there, there is been going through. is there a way that you can see that the, that is through this, that is round this and might at least satisfy some of the people in puerto rico that the company is trying to move it forward? no, the 1st thing is they're not in charge of the generating side of the system. that's still the hands of prayer and they're having generating problems or having they've had to shut down plans. they're doing preventive maintenance during the summer, which is the time of the year that you have the highest demand for electric power, all the air conditioning is running and all that. so they're not, they're not in for lack of energy. and they're only in charge of transmitting and distributing what little power is being generated by forever. but i think now there's going to be of greater overview of the governor has order the energy bureau to have a greater overview and make sure that things get done right. on the other hand, you're not getting the needle, for example, that this week, a community in the i don't live with other items that have been bought by the navy forever. i had not had power for 20 years. they started having power this week. so law was doing some things right. and it's correcting failings that prep i've had for decades. but still, it's too little, somewhat too late when they have to improve their under a lot of pressure on they because we're now, as i mentioned before, we're hearing stories of people who are having to, for example, throw medicines because they are there. freezer systems are fridges, are going on the blank because they aren't getting enough power and so on. there is a risk factor to this, isn't it? there is a danger eventually that if this doesn't get resolved to some degree soon than people could start facing significant risks to their health. well, the electric ah, employees, a printer who are, were, or left out of the job at prep up that you had was financing the activity today. they're not interested in getting better service if they're interested in getting everything sent back to prep up, which is where they used to work for the past 2 years. there is no real alternative but to help new wow, improve the service and use of federal funds to get the system improve. we have $10000000000.00 assigned by the federal government to basically redo the electric system. i personally believe that as we knew the redo the system, we should try to design and bill of system not based on fossil fuels, but based on when you will energy from here into the future. and we want to have any problems that way because the sun is never turned off. it's really good to get the benefits of your experience in this circuit. kenneth mcclintock, we appreciate it. thank you very much. indeed. thank you very much. still had on al jazeera former taliban commander makes his
