the future of peace talks in afghanistan has been thrown into doubt by a change in leadership. they have confirmed the death of spiritual leader mullah omar. talks between the taliban and the afghan government on friday will not go ahead. jennifer glass on the death of mullah omar. >> reporter: it's unclear what changes we'll see under the new taliban leader. the taliban sources telling al jazeera that mansour has been involved in making political decisions over the last few years. there are obviously two different areas of the taliban. you have the political side and the military side. the fighting has been serious in this spring fighting season and over the last couple of weeks, in the last couple of days taliban has taken dozens of villages in the district in the

north and south as taliban fighters continue to fight across the battlefield. peace talks between taliban representatives and the government scheduled for friday have been put on hold. the african government hopes they'll be rescheduled soon and people close to the taliban leader were involved in the first round of talks on july 7th and that may be reason why the government is optimistic that peace talks will continue. the question is what kind of control the taliban leadership has over the fighters on the battlefield. the high peace council in afghanistan saying that they hope when they get to the negotiating table, whoever sits down for the taliban speaks for not just the political side of the taliban, the military side of the taliban, especially now when the fighting is at its most intense. >> mullah omar the taliban leader gone a new leader in his place, a very very crucial time right now for the taliban and the afghan government.

>> richard is a former u.n. chief of the al qaeda and taliban monitoring team. he says the new leaders' biggest challenge is to gain the trust of followers and afghan government. >> clearly mullah mansour running the group while mullah omar was dead last 2.5 years, and reckoned that he couldn't have enough authority over the military in particular to be able to impose any sort of central decision making on them. i think that even now that he's been forced to admit that mullah omar is dead and he is lateder. he'll have the problem, and the problem is compounded because the military side will say, well, you should have told us this before. he'll have to get the military commanders back under his authority, which may mean trying to replace them causing infighting or moving towards their position, which will sort of compromise efforts made to engage the afghan government.

but if he's just a political office then really there's not much point in the afghan government talking to him. of course, what they want is to stop the fighting not allow the taliban to come back into some form of government. >> malaysia's civil aviation chief has flown to france to join a search for missing debris the object washed up on reunion island east of madagascar. they join their french counterparts in toulouse where the debris is due to arrive. it's part of a boeing 777. >> this is the most credible lead that we have to date of any part of the aircraft that we can locating or we can identify -- locating or identify. so our visit to - our investigation will come to a

fruitful outcome. it's important for the closure of this. >> al jazeera's tania page has more from reunion island where the debris washed up. >> this could help solve one of the world's greatest aviation mysteries. mh370 disappeared without a trace last march, but if this piece of wreckage is linked to the flight. what will it tell us. not much. this is part of the the wing it's not the black box flight recorder or a part of the engine. it will confirm to those scouring the bottom part of the indian ocean out there, that they are looking in the right place, because some of the original modelling showed a part of the debris could have come this car by this time. that will help dispel some of the wild conspiracy they are nice that swirled around this plane's grrns, that in -- disappearance that in turn will lead to closure for the

families. british workmen have been sent topt france to repair -- to france to repair fence possess around the channel tunnel. hundreds try to scale the fences and jump on to lorries bound for britain. >> reporter: british workmen are in france reinforcing fences around the euro tonne ill complex, hoping it will be enough to keep the migrants out and avoid trucks and trains getting across the channel. in britain, newspapers are shrill. something must be done to keep migrants out. french are not up to the job. the prime minister used perhaps incense difficult language to scribe the situation in calais.

>> this is very testing, people want to come across the border to britain, we need to protect our workers, that's what we are doing. >> reporter: this is the existing fence around the eurotunnel complex. you can see reinforced barbed wire more barbed wire at the top. it looks like people have forced their way through, cut open the wire. apart from the sign that says danger of death. in several african and middle eastern languages warning people not to go through. beyond there's more barbed wire and a second fence, and reinforcements at the top of the second fence. you'd have to be really determined do get through here and board one of those trains like the one going past now. >> shortly afterwards a team arrived to repair the hole. so the game of cat and mouse goes on.
