A deal on the renascence them is ethiopia rejects proposals put forward by the us. And on peace terms in doha with all the school bickering a virus is putting the lympics in delta and will be in senegal where africas biggest boxes are still trying to qualify for tokyo 2020. The u. S. And Afghan Taliban have signed the preliminary deal that could eventually end the americas longest running war its the result of 18 months of talks but there is still a long way to go before peace returns to afghanistan the 1st stage of the agreement means that there should be a 135 day period of whats being called a meaningful reduction in. Irelands that 1st stage also includes the exchange of about 6000. 00 prisoners the deal is being described as a precursor to a Peace Agreement between the warring sides within afghanistan its hoped that it will lead to talks between the taliban and the government in kabul as well as the withdrawal of foreign troops well some of the reports. Were destroyed up and new chapter may have opened for afghanistan the United States has agreed on a deal that could see the complete withdrawal of its troops from its longest running war in the next 14 months. We recognize america should fight in perpetuity in the graveyard of empires if we can help afghans forge peace. And we have respect we believe that the Afghan People are ready to shirk their own course forward. For the past 18 months the taliban and the u. S. Government have been negotiating in a cutter finally agreeing on a plan aimed at cementing a Permanent Peace as part of the deal the taliban will not allow goddess fund to be used by al qaeda and it will continue to fight against isis. See the 7 day reduction of violence last week with a test for them now comes a test for the u. S. Commitment it must facilitate the release of 5000 prisoners in a matter of days. We are committed to this agreement to enforce it the Afghan Nation has been suffering for the past 4 decades d we have suffered tremendously and i hope that with the withdrawal of all Foreign Forces from afghanistan that the Afghan Nation under the a slavic government will embark on a new prosperous life while the deal was signed in doha a sentiment he was also taking place in the Afghan Capital of kabul u. S. Secretary of defense and nato chief satinder president his government wasnt part of the negotiations and the taliban still doesnt recognize it but under the u. S. Taliban deal the Afghan Government asked the u. N. Security council to lift sanctions on the taliban our agenda for discussion with the taliban be be whiter than their discussions with the United States they should be to teach to discuss their relationship with their state and non states sponsors a verifiable system for cutting those their ties with all transnational terrorist groups their dependence and involvement with narcotics and other Transnational Criminal Organizations positivity the foreign minister from neighboring pakistan with longstanding ties to the taliban was in doha for the signing we have nothing to hide. Their drugs are out of. The open so. Far as. Being a positive contribution to the body. They would. Contingent of. Support for the deal they say it is due. Today is a huge historic day like today was celebrated by and says a century ago after defeating the brits and then 30 years ago for defeating the soviets today we witness our leadership signing a withdrawal deal of occupying American Forces and victory deal of our holy warriors. The Us Government says victory will be achieved when the Afghan People live with no fear in Foreign Forces are not afraid of attacks they said this was history in the making real chance for lasting peace in afghanistan and the signing is a stepping stone towards it but all parties to the conflict realize that there is real work for lasting peace in afghanistan has just begun. Lets go live now to jordan who joins us from washington d. C. Roslyn the President Trump you know even as part of his electoral message always said he wanted to pull u. S. Troops out so i guess this will be seen as a major victory for him so whats he been saying. You are correct barbara this will be seen as a major victory for donald trump who campaigned in 2016 on bringing u. S. Forces home from afghanistan from what has been the u. S. Is longest running war this is a situation of course where the president took a few moments earlier on saturday to take note of the signing of this agreement between the u. S. And the taliban and he essentially said that this has been 19 years in the making that this can only bring peace to the Afghan People and perhaps most important he stressed that the taliban have made a pledge have made a promise to live up to their vows of not supporting terrorist groups such as al qaida to not provide any sort of Material Support to groups that want to do harm to the United States and to its allies and that there is a Brighter Future looming mail for the Afghan People because of the negotiations and because of the results of those negotiations so this is considered a big achievement for the u. S. President but in the light of other of developments here in the United States its not clear just how much attention is going to be placed on this significant agreement wasnt going on with the latest there from washington d. C. Of rolls for the moment thank you bush if he come down is the former advisor to nato senior civilian representative in afghanistan he joins us live now via skype from washington sir thank you so much for joining us here on out do you think that this you know to still a preliminary deal but still historic in its own way do you think that this is this it bring the Afghan People a step closer to peace. It is an idiot actually yes its certainly i would say its hardly to. Be optimistic but meanwhile there are a few concerns for example. 3 Major Concerns let it go i was a leader as well as diplomatic and said we will text or context of this deed and there are some substances which it is i believe you know we can certainly explore probably. In shock and dialogue but these are sometimes critical flaw us which is political and legal as well as political and that has to be addressed during the in shock and denial of so lets just focus at a guess on the political one to start with i mean it seems that any kind of communication or negotiation between the taliban and the current government in kabul to me at least would seem one of the biggest obstacles considering the taliban didnt even want to liaise with the government they wanted to speak directly to the americans when it came to the steel so where do you think this leaves the relationship between the taliban and the Afghan Government. Thats exactly what certain about because in this deep there is nothing about some equipment on as normal a bit of intimate. And even that of some in public and theres us and those which use all of your and other hand the taliban are not good and you have them in the negotiations and they will probably exist. Between the afghans but in terms of legality legitimacy that has to be particularly present honasan and there is a government which is absent this deal thats why im concerned and thats one of the political issue in this and it was interesting listening to President Trump very very much emphasizing what the taliban to support what he termed terrorist groups so hes thinking Al Qaeda Isis interesting that not that many years ago the taliban himself itself was considered a terrorist group by the u. S. So do you think that Going Forward that is the only red line that the americans would have so issues like a democratic afghanistan a fight against corruption a lot of the social human rights that have been given in the past decades to women especially do you think that those are almost seen as expendable Going Forward. I dont think if there is any promise of years not any kind of assurance and this d. The basic human rights in woman rights Good Governance democracy will be disputed by the taliban and need to have the major concern this takes however the United States does not express that if someone enters a promise and that they too are then time fixed telling them that isnt there as there is something evidence of. And also deep conclusion says that the relationship of the United States which is nomics sort of cooperation and deconstruction will be established in the future government. Which will be a result of that in shock and die out so there is kind of uncertain its he doesnt there is not any kind of assurance for this lives of people indention any unitas into sacrifice so much so that thats another other mention before this is that that legal consent that the text does not really touch on just very dear and critical values of the people and International Partners of course the u. S. And nato never went to war in afghanistan because of the taliban they did it post 911 because you know the taliban sheltered al qaeda and the taliban was in power of course in 2001 in afghanistan how different what differences are there between the taliban now and the taliban and then when it comes to ideology governance or what how would you say that the movement itself has changed. Not much the movement so safe as it is even you know looking into eating greedy and smart at things and their agreement fake some. Taleban is insisting its numbing challenge and agreement so when you read agreement their team plays the persian day this summit dates and western dates so it lists inserts and they so push their value on what they believe and i think even for their future because the terms of they have use in their treatment and also some promises that they have that there is not any such a mechanism in the deep which can satisfy and validate a pile of well a by to do sed. Promises and unfortunately some of the promises has nothing to do with that how can a site has nothing to do in a future it is assurance for the United States that the will not be used against the United States in this is something the taliban has never ever admitted that that afghanistan in the past has been used against them so this is a kind of huge usual deposition before she doesnt want and this is something they insist up to now and when it comes to the validation investigation as well as her vision theres not any such and the can is and ensured that this deal will be enforced and but in diverse there are such dishes and tasks sent by the taliban to the United States for example to reach certain buttoned up march 5000 detainees has to be of course taliban prisoners and for example in 100. 4 months. To subtly drawdown in 5 bases has to be closed so theres a big list of tasks critical tasks for the United States to carry on but any attorney has promised not any certain action that people can validly and verify what are the developments on the taliban and. Certainly be interesting to see how this develops over the next weeks and months for the moment to shafiq come them former advisor to nato senior civilian representative in afghanistan sir thank you for sharing your views with us. While the deal has been met with cautious relief in afghanistan itself while many are pleased that the agreement has been reached there is concern as weve been hearing i guess that foreign troops withdrawing matter allow the taliban to regain power or the bill hemmer has more. Its a momentous time for afghanistan many still in this believe that what had been unthinkable is happening the u. S. And the taliban agreeing with each other Mohamed Bouazizi is a beat this has been the most peaceful week kabal has seen in years we can go outside. Our homes without. Fear of anything from the village if we. Actually mean is between them really can tell us that its really a fake. That will be lots of effects on Afghan People because the. Security of afghanistan is in the hands of the americans but outside of kabul example siraj should mohammad wonders about his future he has links feelings the taliban ruled here before so he knows them well they are something. After all southern and its bad if the taliban come back i wont be able to run my business they forbid music i will have to leave the country for the past 40 years foreigners didnt let us live in peace thats why the countrys in the situation its maybe better if they leave but there will be no peace with the taliban it will be worse im scared. The war has been devastating for bibi girl her husband a soldier the National Army was killed in a Suicide Attack in the whole province of ludlum and then another 4 members of her family died in another attack being a widow with 7 children is stuff they help out by polishing shoes on the streets or begging in the market and all of our weve never had any help from anyone its a miserable life my sons collect charge so we can burn it in the stove the foreigners must stay i havent seen anything good from the government and the taliban destroyed our lives its because of them that we became beggars its humiliating only the foreigners can help us. The taliban controls nearly half of the country mainly rural areas where most of the war against american troops unfolded. People have been told that they will fully withdraw soon and theres a sense of victory. People are happy we also want peace and security taliban are committed to their promise the fighters obey whatever orders they get this is a big success for us. Back in the cities it up my year is worried she was born as a refugee in iraq now shes a University Student part of a new generation full of aspiration Everybody Knows that tal advanced your ideals like color limited and close minded they are and if they come to the government like officer the they cannot implement them an officer they can implement and the people there will be hard as the women follow martin and never good with him and. The people working in the government are often sells these do not have peace between themselves and i dont think are going to have a reason someone else like polamalu if only goes well do us will pull out its troops the taliban and afghan leaders might find a compromise but many afghans remain cautious about the future theyve seen many full stones before but at the.

Activists there are telling us that a syrian army convoy was hit a while ago but while many people think it was a drone attack by the turkish army so the escalation is there there is a chance also to give diplomacy more leeway so the theres been a phone conversation between the turkish president and the iranian president Hassan Rouhani and they spoke about the need to defuse tension and to restore the spirit of the 2018 agreement between iran russia and also turkey theres been also a phone conversation between the russian president Vladimir Putin and the iranian president Hassan Rouhani about a potential meeting between the we leaders but here in turkey barbara there is a general sentiment among the political establishment of the government that they have they have been betrayed by iran and by russia in the provinces and that the agreement there was established in 2018 has been repeated leave breeched greeces Prime Minister has held an emergency meeting to discuss the wave of migrants coming from turkey this comes after the president richard type had one announced that ankara would no longer stop migrants from entering europe greek Border Guards and Police Used Tear Gas and stun grenades to keep the refugees out athens says it has blocked thousands of Illegal Migrants at its border crossings its also strengthening its controls off the east asian united nations.

Red. Home maybe a small maybe that people here have little to do but wait for their asylum applications to be decided upon and their wait has just become much longer a new asylum law took effect at the beginning of the year that fast tracks new applications so the trajectory of applicants can be sent back to turkey as quickly as they arrived but that discriminates against people like these who arrived as a family 5 months ago we had into the smart. 26 to dissuade me. But they dont take it to you they see only take in tales from the people. And you have until you 10 months next term agreed to take back or attorneys in the 2016 statement signed with the European Union and the greek government says it plans to return at least 10000 people this year but whether turkey will all of that agreement in the current Political Climate is an open question so the greek governments entire refugee strategy now hangs in the balance many local people say they have little faith in this new policy.

Of course were saying that runs all the storm weve got snow but also some very strong Gale Force Winds and heavy amounts of rain which will just continue to exacerbate the flooding meanwhile across Central Europe weve got some cold air in place so we have been seeing some snow this is in frankfurt in germany but easy to say but i promise you that rain has turned over to snow and then this is very close to frankfurt this is you can see the fell but mountain trees of come down under the weight of this snow so many of the roads have actually been closed now its not about day sunday across much of germany some trad maybe some rain showers but a system developing here across the alps ill come on to that because really its monday we begin to see the full force of that sunday is a better day across the u.

And Afghan Taliban have signed the preliminary deal that could eventually end americas longest running war its the result of 18 months of talks but theres still a long way to go before peace returns to afghanistan the deal was signed at a ceremony in cathers capital doe. They was taliban agreement has pulled cautious relief in afghanistan itself many people are pleased that appeal has been reached but there is concern that foreign. Withdrawing might allow the taliban to regain power. While the more than 18 years of fighting since the u. S. Led invasion of afghanistan have had an enormous human cost more than 31000. 00 civilians have been killed since 2001 thats according to the u. N. And Rights Groups nearly 58000 members of the Security Force members and 42000 opposition fighters have also died nearly 2400 american soldiers were killed the u. S. Is estimated to have spent more than one trillion dollars on the conflict and the Afghan Ministry of Public Health says 23000000. 00 afghans or 2 thirds of the population suffer from Mental Health problems because of the war or a burden manly has more its been or new should be quite we can cope. With bombs and bullets ability mainstay for years but the Afghan Taliban says the agreement signed in doha marks the beginning of real change. In your Community Want to see of. The important. The 1st opening the door to the people. Who last year more than 3400. 00 civilians were killed in the country the taliban were responsible for almost half of those deaths Afghan Forces and the u. S. Were responsible for 43 percent in recent years the taliban would be responsible for numerous attacks against civilians. 14 a teenage suicide bomber sitting in the audience of a play detonated a bomb it was in a French School that was considered a safe haven for culture in kabul. The 1st month the 2100. 00 source string of attacks by the group on the 20th of january several armed men stormed the Intercontinental Hotel in kabul and killed 21. 00 people that attack the same hotel in 2011. A week later an ambulance packed with explosives was detonated in a Shopping Center in kabul. Dozens were hurt. In september last year President Donald Trump called off talks with the taliban after it admitted responsibility for an attack in kabul that killed dozens of people. From coming in from kabul government and also the United States of america that we cannot trust the taliban because there are so many groups there are like 22 groups yet the taliban were like no we had one group this reduction in violence. That the taliban indeed is one group but its not just the taliban who have admitted killing civilians i saw linked groups of 4 the taliban and Afghan Government forces and also killed scores of people. And also saw record high level of civilian casualties from air strikes most of those by International Forces including the u. S. But the deal signed in doha still has a long way to go before real peace can be achieved. A crucial next step would be if the taliban can reach an agreement with the Afghan Government who it has been locked in a brutal conflict with for almost 2 decades. Aljazeera. Is here pierre has rejected addressed agreements introduced by the us concerning a major dam on the nile river at the savable says the grandy seal can win a sense that it is essential to its development but egypt is worried about its effect on irrigation and Drinking Water is e. O. P. A boycotted talks in washington and says it is disappointed by u. S. Efforts to resolve the dispute egypt has already signed washingtons agreement which covers the filling and operation of that that all mohamed valley is in but here daryn northern ethiopia where he says the Prime Minister i. B. M. Its reaction should be seen in the context of the upcoming election which will please im going with this statement they said that there is some bias in those statements saying that it is not ready because those agreements or the Draft Agreement has not yet been completed particularly with regard to the several technical points that have to be discussed. Faired about this pressure from the us is hurting its interest and that its not going to sign anytime soon before they make sure to make sure that its into the have been granted it has always reiterated that whatever it does its not going to hurt egypt or sudan and that it should be given the benefit of the doubt also 2 days ago the Prime Minister of the 130. 00 hes not going to sign any agreement before the end of the elections in august so we have to understand the context of whats going on here the ahmed is facing a tough election in which she wants to guarantee as many votes as possible and he knows that there is a lot of discomfort inside the country particularly with regards to what is described by the opposition here as hes giving in to pressure from the United States. That is a professor of Knowledge Management and Sustainable Development at the university of east london he joins me now in the studio thank you so much for joining us here on aljazeera so what do you make of the fact that he has rejected the Draft Agreement and that ultimately europe is ready talking about beginning to fill the dam when the reality is a lot of things havent been sorted out with the crucial of the countrys sedan but mainly it thank you barbara i think the issue here is that if we go back when this whole brother has stopped it many people have asked for transparency on this particular project the technical reporting of ours the rescan all of this stuff and also you have not been very clear many have said go where they stopped of this in terms of their neighbors which is particularly your president so i see if they detract from this you for example are going to start feeling in your line for the circus even have been continuously not giving much as a Public Domain which is quite important but we have to be wise of the fact that egypt given quite heavily on the nih and on the water on that river for food for security for lots of stuff although if you claim 90 percent of that of the given the 90 percent from that water but even some statistics say 80 or 70 it doesnt meet their. But someone is going to siphon all this water in a very short time as according to say give she in all technical advisors is quite serious it could be cause see there even if you Like National risk for the country so was it you are proposing is 12 to 20 years why this you are forced to serve in so i think i still dont understand why in the 1st place of a you should have taken this to us because its quite the could he admit there is a super should have really corporate it will always do that and he also didnt have to forgive sudan is being shockingly or shamefully not really being gauge of this process but at some point we will also get sudan after its because sudan has its own internal affairs of trying to rebuild the country and all that settlement but wont recover from this they will also be asking questions to be about the ownership of the land they risk and from this down to fix are done so we should be has to get it right quickly before this is. Actually conflict i mean you mentioned the potential risk to egypt i mean often the phrase every day is that it could be almost an existential risk because the salary of water especially in countries that are so warm so is it mainly sort of lack of being able to do a proper of Risk Assessment or do you think there is always going to be a sort of imbalance between the different needs of 23 really different nations this is good question number one is should give them more clarity a more somebody should go before them all the technical trouble they have about this issue and secondly this european they should really. Sit together the engineers have always argued for Technical Expertise down the tree it is a british an about this because theyre saying for the saving of the sea if you are saying but they use you themselves they have something to be blamed for for many years many awards have criticised for not many of the water currently they are using effectively the loss of 14. Lost in the insight so they give them so they have to raise observer bar technically interest of money in the water they currently have so the issue is going to scale it particularly who is so done with a couple boards i think not later just very briefly that if the u. S. Doesnt manage to to i guess get the parties together what avenues are opened 211 is for example this european i see a months ago or this european government have asked for example south african president whos going to take the African Union presidency. But i think the best thing i always argued the city of them should really do this internally is 3 of them are quite Good Neighbors this particular issue because sudan and sudan all of them and they should really home get over to pick nickel expertise fairest i think the ballistics here is quite dangerous so it has to be technically handed fairest politically if you like right professor of knowledge and management and Sustainable Development at the university of east london thank you so my village is now Malaysias King has chosen a new Prime Minister saying that.
