Most important government buildings have been destroyed including the Palace, Law courts, 87 percent of schools, even prisons leaving  the country with no means to govern. ."I am a steel worker by trade but right now I'm here recovering the bodies from the tax office. We use plastic gloves and put them in plastic body bags. It's not a nice job, the smell almost kills me. I have to drink to get through but I know I am helping the families. The parents are waiting for me each time I pull a body out so they can identify it. They buy me my rum.  I have pulled out one body today but twenty-five in total."

  • A detail of a 1930s house gable in the Essex seaside town of Frinton-on-Sea. Well-painted white woodwork looks fresh and clean despite it being 90 years old. The property is shown as Essex House with the date of its construction as 1936. A gable is the generally triangular portion of a wall between the edges of a sloping roof. The shape of the gable and how it is detailed depends on the structural system used (which is often related to climate and availability of materials) and aesthetic concerns. Thus the type of roof enclosing the volume dictates the shape of the gable. A gable wall or gable end more commonly refers to the entire wall, including the gable and the wall below it.

<br />
She experienced first hand, how terrifying the Taliban could be. She says: <br />
<br />
‘I opened up the Chadri (mesh front of the burkha) to see a tea-cup and suddenly from the back, a Taliban soldier came with a big stick, shouting at me. If you get beaten by a Taliban, you could die. <br />
“I made myself look as old and bad as possible because if  they ( the Taliban) saw you looking even a bit beautiful, they could come to your house and take you as one of their wives”<br />
<br />
“For me having money is dangerous, kidnapping is a big problem. A friend’s uncle was kidnapped; they wanted $150 000, He was so mad he said, ‘I am not paying that he is an old man!’  Eventually they dropped the price and said OK, just cover our fuel and the bribe for the police (30 000 dollars)."

  • Mel Stewart, local resident:  We have been fighting this for thirty years and it isnt over yet. Day of protest in Pont Valley against the extraction of coal by the mining company Banks outside Dipton in Pont Valley,  5 May 2018 , County Durham, United Kingdom. Locals have fought the open cast coal mine for thirty years and three times the local council rejected planning permissions but central government has overruled that decision and the company Banks was granted the license and rights to extract coal in early 2018. Locals have teamed up with climate campaigners and together they try to prevent the mining from going ahead. The mining will have huge implications on the local environment and further coal extraction runs agains the Paris climate agreement. A rare species of crested newt is said to live on the land planned for mining and protectors are trying to stop the mine to save the newt.
