Scourge of war which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to men kind to unite our strength to maintain and National Peace and security there all of the United Nations and standing for our shared values throughout the Peace Process is absolutely critical and we tank the United Nations for their support so far 2 of this are due us crosses we thank the u. N. For their call for a global ceasefire. That all of the way and our International Partners and allies will continue to be extremely important as our negotiating team sits across from the taliban in doing it those stocks that one people have a clear in urging a cease fire an urgent end of the violence will more than anything goes give us a chance to progress i would like to keep this up the need to call on every member of the General Assembly. And the permanent members of the Security Council to help us achieve that instate of a sovereign united in democratic of once that it peace with itself in the region capable of preserving expanding the gains of the last 19 years a democratically stable and prosperous of ones will be an example of how our collective will can overcome the turmoil in that certainty that defines our world today thank you youre listening there to ashraf ghani the president of afghanistan at the u. N. General assembly or at least addressing the u. N. General assembly remotely and he outlined there the various. The what is described as unprecedented turmoil at the era he talked about the code 19 pandemic the effect that that has had he also talked about violence and warfare thats affecting afghanistan and also Climate Change in the context of warfare he mentioned the peace talks and he said that are happening at the moment in doha with the taliban he said he made the hard decision to start peace talks with the taliban and he was hoping for and he made said the urgent priority was a ceasefire on that front does bring in omar samad hes a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council joins us now via skype from washington d. C. Thanks for being with us so on that issue of the peace talks and talked about the urgent priority for a cease fire how likely is that to come in the short term in those 2 in the talks with the taliban. Our apologies we dont seem to have a sound there from washington lets see if we can get that back in iraq we can hear you now sorry about that i was just going to if we can start that answer again because we were talking about the the priority is as a shotgun to put it if the urgent priority of a cease fire and i ask you how likely that that is in the short term. Well i dont think that it is likely that we will see a permanent cease fire as some are calling for especially the michigan his government. You know from the way the talks have started in doha it seems that the or bogged down with procedural matters in their day or the Agenda Setting the agenda so i think this. Is an issue that will mark later on when ever the 2 sides agree to bring it up and meanwhile it seems like theres fighting going on on all sides there are casualties markets now one of the things he mentioned he used the word democratic for the vision of the future democratic afghanistan he talked about democratically stable very much that the emphasis on on democracy and he also lead to the un declaration of human rights is that a kind of a challenge to the taliban if you like or in the past have sort of wont be that keen on the idea of democracy. Yes well in this case mr ghani obviously is giving you his vision of what the future should look like or what the instated as he calls it should look like where sovereignty is one issue. Hopelessly the issue of democracy and human rights and all of those those values that the afghan side the afghan republican side for the past 19 years has been working on now we need to hear what the taliban have to see from here are we just hear how do taleban define democracy how do they find human rights and we need to argue and discuss in our exchanges in hopefully come to an agreement so this is going to be tough difficult and challenging. But as long as there is a reduction in violence in my opinion i think its important to keep in mind that all sides need to make every effort to make sure the civilians at least are not harmed while the talks are going on thank you very much indeed jeff you what i thank you. On to the us now where a Police Officer has been indicted over a raid which led to the death of a black woman in her home but has not been charged over her death Brianna Taylor was shot dead in march after officers entered her home without warning after months of angry protests and demands for justice a grand jury has decided to charge the officer with wanton endangerment for shooting into neighboring apartment but not for the fatal shot taylors death along with that of george floyd sparked a wave of demonstrations over racism and Police Brutality throughout the country the city of louisville has put in place a curfew where protesters have gathered. Its going out now to John Hendrick whos in an evil kentucky how with those challenges received. Well in a couple of words not well you know everyone we have talked to out here of course these are largely protesters have said this is not justice for brown and taylor im just going to give you a little look at what has happened in reaction to this ruling police and city officials have put these trucks here in the Central Square of this town at Jefferson Park that is city hall youre looking at behind those trucks which city officials want to protect and over my other shoulder is the hall of justice its a courthouse for Jefferson County and then just beyond that is a memorial for Briana Taylor thats where weve been talking to people who have been telling us that this is not just this is not just this in part because nobody who fired a shot the officer fired the fatal shots that killed Briana Taylor is not charged at all the officer who was charged is being charged with 3 counts of Reckless Endangerment for firing into the neighboring apartment where a white family of 3 lives so people here are upset there will still be federal in a federal investigation here that means there could potentially be charges by the federal government as opposed to the local government here but people are not happy and what has happened then is weve seen police lines and there have been protesters arrested confronting those Police Officers and thats not unusual here weve had over 100 days of protests in louisville but many people expect things to get difficult tonight after the curfew ends at 9 oclock and that is in just about 4 hours. And general talk us through the kind of the Decision Making on how they used to look a few and what sort of level of security they bring in. Misspoken the curfew starts at 9 oclock and 4 hours in the thinking this is being in a city really under siege for days this week there have been emergency declarations that have asked businesses to shut down that have asked people to remain in their homes for the next tonight and the next couple of nights while this decision came out the mayor said he didnt know what was going to happen with that ruling it was a grand jury that came out with that decision and you may be able to hear helicopters above me we have a National Guard out here so really another city under siege but just like weve seen in minneapolis in can yoshua wisconsin where africanamericans who come into contact with police and have been killed or wounded have caused an uproar and its happened here too and thats why the city has decided to shut down here there is concern that things could really kick off tonight the charges have not seemed to satisfy the grounds on the street john thank you very much indeed. Coming up on just there this news out what people in malaysia as Opposition LeaderAnwar Ibrahim hands to oust the new Prime Minister just months after he came to power. 3 days of mourning begins for the late respect against the Supreme Court justice who championed womens rights. And sports football transfer news including a move that barcelona striker luis suarez. The European Union is seeking to overhaul its broken migration and asylum rules it wants to end years of bitterness and infighting over the fate of the hundreds of thousands of people fleeing poverty and war in the middle east and africa the changes would abandon the idea of mandatory refugee quotas replacing them with a compulsory so. Darity mechanism as well as taking a rivals countries can sponsor returns or provide Operational Support that we have faster asylum border process involving decisions within 12 weeks and swift returns of failed applicants those countries that do take in refugees or Asylum Seekers rescued in the mediterranean or be offered more than 11000. 00 per person but to appease eastern nations including poland and hungary no country will be obliged to take anyone in well even for migrants whove been granted asylum the journey remains incredibly difficult those whove made it to the greek island of less boss are confused and worried even if theyre allowed to remain in Europe Stephanie decker reports no one we asked here was aware of the use announcement of a new policy nor mohamed from afghanistan whos been granted asylum but remains stuck on the island on lockdown for Asylum Seekers due to the coronavirus he reminds us how he and thousands of others suffered to make it this far must help him suffer the journey of refugees and migrants the illegal way is really really difficult you know many people get hurt some get stuck along the way its a horrible journey europe has recently reignited the discussion on its migration policies prompted by the burning down of moriah camp europes biggest here and as was island over 2 weeks ago this package reflects a fair and reasonable balance between responsibility and solidarity among Member States we all share the benefits we all share the burden. This package also reflects a very pragmatic and realistic approach but it seems the new policy is more focused on tightening border controls and on sending back those with failed to successfully claim asylum rather than streamline the process for those already here a steadiest kind of us is a greek lawyer providing free legal aid to the Asylum Seekers its a messy and complicated process if its not a direction then they have the right to appeal only staves they have the right cause obligation to provide free legal aid not of support of them to a draft. Appeal however there is a lot of legal of the provision of legal aid to the Asylum Seekers who have an addictive visit judicial the lack of information provided to the refugees about the process means many cannot access the legal avenues the technically should be provided for them many remain here not knowing how to appeal others are faced multiple rejections but have not been deported. For those like mohammed who have been granted what is seen as the ultimate dream when everyone here wants lawyers tell us his hardships a far from over in fact they could get even worse there is hardly any help once theyre cut off from any aid you to their asylum status and there is a lack of Integration Programs to help them adjust to a new society after months and months if not years of languishing in these camps. 100 percent im worried im worried how to integrate myself into the society are more about finding a job how to find work and stand on my own feet and to make my life again the e. U. Says it needs to share the burden of the refugee and migration crisis greece and the residents here say they are tired of doing it alone for mohamed who is left everything behind in search of a safer and better life and for the 10s of thousands of others like him waiting for answers in the camps of europes border states the burden and the feeling of doing it alone is far too familiar Stephanie Decker aljazeera less was island greece. Or flow of migrants to europes shores can is continuing with a boat currently heading across the mediterranean a crew from the german aid group c. I. Rescued more 100 people who waters off libya on saturday but the charity says malta italy and germany have refused to accept them the boat is now heading to the french port of mass say the group says its not certain french authorities will let the ship dock. Speak to such b. S. Ing whos chief executive of charity the joint council for the welfare of immigrants he joins us via skype from london thanks very much indeed for being with us so what you meant make of the the attempts by the you to break the deadlock over asylum and migrant policy in the. Well the policy framework that we have right now clearly isnt working weve got tens of thousands of people in camps across the mediterranean that the tragic incident of a camp bearing down in greece and you know over 10000 people being displaced as a result of that but what we see from these proposals is that unfortunately the political will just is not there in europe right now to address the problems of people fleeing persecution people who are already in europe who need to be resettled who need to be integrated and were seeing this continued emphasis on speedy returns which is if you like a sort of way for brussels to appease rather than confront hardliners populists and nationalists and so on and on the on the matter of returns that you mention no the e. U. Commission of a home affairs said recently that most arrivals are not refugees 2 thirds of irregular arrivals will have a negative decision would would you accept that estimate of at the fact that shes basic suggestion and that 2 thirds of the people who arrive are economic migrants rather than Asylum Seekers was 2 really important things to going town and im sure that she will know these things when she spoke the 1st is that many of those who are not successful on their 1st application will have only suffered that outcome because there is chronic underinvestment in our asylum systems across europe and so on appeal the vast majority of people will actually find that their asylum claims that held and that theyre found to be rightfully fleeing persecution or conflict and the 2nd i would ask really anybody who points to the difference between somebody fleeing conflict and persecution and somebody fleeing famine all the drying up of their soil go hungry for a week dont eat food for a week wonder where the rain is going to come from and how its going to feed your children and then come back and tell us that there is really a substantial difference between fleeing from family and fleeing from conflict i think there is a real. All sort of artificially ality around that distinction and we see a lot of famine and conflict induced famine and climate induced conflict in a lot of places well that means that those distinctions are all blurry than wed like to think they are on just one other thing i want to ask you about the the business of money for for for rescue or putting a kind of a at a monetary figure on peoples on refugees and so on how do you think thats going to work and is is there a problem with that model. Well its good that the commission that europe is is recognizing that support needs to be given to Member States who are you know doing their bit stepping up to the plate and resettling people its good that those resources are there because it will speed up the process of integration people can access language the corkery coaching housing and all the rest of it but something that is really troubling about these proposals is that there is so much flexibility about what states can do so there is no obligation anymore to take the obligation of of hosting and resettling refugees so the state could for example say you know were not going to host anybody but were just going to pay a relatively small amount of money to a central part so we could find ourselves in the situation in which and with that boat that you just covered crossing the mediterranean people are essentially being passed from one state to another with nobody nobody really willing to step up and on of their commitments and just on to go back to the issue of lesbo us do you think that any of the measures that weve seen announced they will make a difference in the short term to the people who are stuck there. Its unclear at the moment again the proposals that been brought forward today are mostly about dealing with feature flows of people its not clear how they will address the situation that the many many thousands of thousands of people who are already in europe. Facing sort of risks like they are on the you know the islands of. That remains to be seen in more detail needs to be seen as have been a thing thank you very much indeed for taking time to talk to us pressure to thank you the protests have broken out in the better russian capital after Alexander Lukashenko was sworn in for a 6th term as president Security Forces use water cannon to disperse crowds opposition activists are calling for an immediate campaign of civil disobedience because shanker has been under mounting pressure to resign after last months disputed election and several countries say they wont recognize his presidency has called his inauguration a victory didnt dollars this president the day of assuming the post of the president in or gratian day is the day of our victory convincing and faithful we were not just electing the president of the country we were defending our values our peaceful life our sovereignty and our independence and in this regard there is a lot to be done.
