the answer you'd usually get from the taliban when you asked them how much of a threat iceland, afghanistan was, they would play it down. now, it seems that they are starting to take it seriously. certainly these 2 groups have been fighting each other for quite a long time. but now the taliban is having to govern the country and having to prevent the kinds of attacks that they used to carry out themselves. protest as a gathering incidence capital to demand grace a representation in government that has been organized by an alliance of arm groups and opposition. members tension is growing between civilian and military leaders. the prime minister says the divisions are causing the worst crisis yet, and the countries transition to civilian rule the bottom. i would not be exaggerating. if i said this political crisis is the worst and most dangerous crisis that threatens the transition and even threatens our entire country and warns of a terrible evil. this is due to the deep splits among civilians and among the military as well as between the civilians and the military. hipaa morgan with the latest now from cartoon. they call themselves the force of freedom and chase. that's the same name of the alliance that met and pick up one protest against president dominant this year, which eventually led through by the military. but these people, the proof that make up this new f a c, a splinter from the main f, f c. they're mostly on grouping opposition. they say that's because the main medical william political parties prevent them and have a fluid the group and other opposition for both parties from the coalition and from governance. again, this is the joint civilian military government. now when the power sharing agreement was signed in august 2019, it was said to be 39 month to month for the military and civilian component of the car sharing government. now a peace agreement with finding october last year, which we set the clock back again to the starting point against another 39 months. but it was not clear yet what happened with maybe a month where the military was in control. so the civilians are expecting that it would be divided equally between the civilians and the military. but there is a division that has been widening since they attempted to last month. and between the political parties themselves. say that their base should be expanded to include the u. f, f c faction and others who say that because there are groups because they have already signed the lease agreement, which guarantees them and the national government, and nationally completed with somebody in some state. then there is no need to widen the base where the the security of u. k, a m p, 's is being reviewed after the killing of a long standing politician and what the police are describing as a terror incident. so david amos was stab to death at a meeting with constituents on friday afternoon. the home secretary patel says steps will be taken to prevent such an attack happening again. there are measures underway right now. i've convened meeting yesterday. i've been with the speaker of the house and with the police and our security services to make sure that all measures are being put in place for the security of the m p, so that they can carry on with their duties as elected democratic members. the prime minister, boris johnson, and leader of the opposition co star, i went to the sites of the killing to pay their tributes a 25 year old man is being held in custody on suspicion of murder. after being arrested at the scene, rory challenge our correspondence as you k m. p. 's, all unites in their reaction to the murder of david amos, forrest johnson, an kiss tom a both came down together. 2 men who are in their day jobs are on opposite sides of the divide quest. of each other's motives, question each other's integrity. today they put that aside and i think that's the message that is coming loud and clear from westminster. this has transcended it's overcome those normal divisions that you see in british political life. forest johnson said that david, i misses one of the kindest, nicest, most gentle people in politics. and that's the kind of message you're hearing about him from all parties and friends from old people who knew him. the messages in the tribute sort of being left have a very similar tone to them, essentially saying that he was a kind man and a dedicated public 7 man who was killed essentially doing something that was integral to his job. he was going out there and he was meeting the public face to face that, that the police, the saying this is a terrorist investigation. now it's harry investigation is the metropolitan police that is looking after the investigation. the early investigation, they say, has revealed a potential my situation, links to islamic extremism, but that's as far as that goes with that at the moment. if politicians, if m p 's ought to carry on meeting the public face to face, it's an activity that is

protests last year. their sentences range between 6 and 12 months, they had been accused of inciting others to take part in unauthorized assemblies. rob mcbride reports from hong kong. there were a total of 7 defendants in court, found guilty of the charge of inciting others to take part in an illegal assembly. now this dates back to a protest on july 1st of last year, which is traditionally a day of protest here in hong kong. it's the anniversary of hong kong handover back to the chinese rule. but it came at the height of the kobe 19. pandemic them were restrictions were in force to stop people gathering in numbers. so this was in contravention of that 5 of the defendants arrived here in court in prison vans. they were already behind bars and some of them denied bail. others already serving lengthy prison sentences for their part in other demonstrations last year. and the year before, as sentences that and it will now be extended in some cases with the handing down of these at since it's between 6 and 12 month, 2 of the defendants were out on vale. they arrived at this court in the one chide district of hong kong to be greeted by supporters. there was some chanting, some

themselves in this prison without them or chrissy or freedom built by the judges and the government pro democracy group say the situation is deteriorated very quickly, especially since the introduction of the national security law in july of last year . given that it now covers so many possible offences, such as succession subversion, colluding with foreign entities, all things which they say can be so broadly interpreted. now the chief executive carry lamp the prob, aging pro, administration groups and parties here. so it's thanks to the law that a sense of normalcy has returned sanity now prevails once more in hong kong, i'd say, and it is true that there are no longer riots on the streets via bombs, sub boy stations being trashed. but according to many people here, it is come with a terrible cost for hong kong in terms of the rolling back of many of the freedoms that they used to enjoy and basically ending up with an emasculated city. ok, richberg is the director of the university of hong kong journalism and media studies center. he says, many don't have any hope of a future in hong kong. these sentences today were not very surprising. we expected now that everybody who's been arrested on something we'll be facing jail time. they've pretty much come down. the courts have come down with a pretty heavy hat. and the interesting thing about these protests that, that they're accused of which happened last july. first, they were really kind of the last protest and protests just on the david national security law came into effect and they were relatively peaceful protest as well. so doesn't matter if the protest was peaceful or not, if it was so, so called unauthorized protests, meaning it didn't have an official police. okay. they're really going to lock like the organizers when the defendant showed up, they were pretty pessimistic. they knew they're probably going to be sent to jail time, and they were, you know, on congress or voting with their feet. many of them have left hong kong as last something i want to know, what i have presented to population 1000 people have left many of them to the u. k . it's people who don't want to put up with this or just kind of walking away with their feet or deciding to leave or thinking about planning, leaving or planning to leave moving companies or are full now with people trying to get out. because people don't want to live in a place where they can express themselves where the protest or people protest that we were used to are now basically outlawed. the lebanese prime minister has indicated
