currently. new yorkers are very receptive to al jazeera because it is such an international city they are very interested in that global perspective that al jazeera provides. and i honor and taylor in london the top stories on our jazeera turkey syria and russia have attacked a u.s. plan to form a thirty thousand strong border security force in northern syria turkey's president accused washington are trying to create a terror army and the syrian government has vowed to drive the u.s.

president from its territory the u.s. says the force will secure areas along syria's border to the north with turkey and to the east with iraq it will be mostly made up of fighters from the syrian democratic forces in turkey consider terrorists russia says it's a u.s. plot to partition syria or a challenge reports from moscow. it's the youth but russia's foreign minister had a stark rebuke for the u.s. on monday speaking as a media conference in moscow surrogate lavrov said the creation of his own controlled by u.s. backed rebels risks syria's territorial integrity turkey's president also opposes the plan he's attacking reports of the u.s. backed kurdish border force. says turkey will launch its i would military operation against the kurds in the northern syrian city of a free shot at that it is secure balling now the united states has confessed that they are forming

a terror army along our border what we have to do is to strangle this terror army on our borders before it is born turkey has for its kurdish factions inside its borders for decades and doesn't want to see them gaining more power in neighboring syria box in northern syria the americans have long been supporting some kurdish forces the kurds are the most effective fighting force against the assad government and against the islamic state in syria and they've been very successful in that that's the american purpose but the turks regard the kurds and the why b.g. as a dire threat they label them terrorists. although u.s. president donald trump promised he would stop supporting kurdish fighters the pentagon never made that official the reported thirty thousand strong u.s. backed border force would primarily come from kurdish led syrian democratic forces and would deploy along the syrian borders with turkey and iraq and along the euphrates river valley the dividing line with syrian government forces. one of the

syrian war's detectable trends last year was the emerging axis of cooperation between russia and turkey often joining together to criticize steps taken by the united states while if today's developments are only thing to go by that the trend that looks set to continue into two thousand and eighteen will reach allan's al-jazeera moscow. a video has been released which is said to show some of the girls kidnapped from the nigerian town of shock nearly four years ago in the footage one of the girls says they're from shock and never coming back nearly three hundred girls were abducted from their school by the armed group boko haram in april twenty fourth teen about sixty escaped soon afterwards and around one hundred still believed to be in captivity. those who we are the chibok girls you have been crying that we should be released but by the grace of allah we will not return home

at the current to our country and. through the imposition of the system of. december one thousand nine hundred ninety three the packed house and also city home owners nelson mandela the hero of the anti-apartheid struggle and frederick the cliff the last white president of south africa i've years ago. if i would have seriously question the sanity of anyone who would have predicted that mr madela and i would be joining the disappearance of the one nine a bill. of us. before you today behind the school changes the two leaders are at olds and the tension in the country is at its highest. will be living the opponents. will disagree strongly all key issues and we will soon fight

the strenuous election that plane against one of them. standing in the event the spro quest which will make. all the thirty thousand people have died in the thick of violence. since the beginning of this year mandela and declare partners as much as well able to carry to his representing a cruising campus engaged in unwilling to move to solutions of political and personal doom that was poised to put an end to one of the most racist wheezy in the planet's.

seven kilometers west of cape town nelson mandela was a prisoner for eighteen years raised in a village in eastern south africa he founded the first black law from in the country appalled by the treatment of blacks and people of color he created the armed wing of the african national congress to fight against the apartheid regime and i many people feel that it is useless and for a future for us to continue talking peace and nonviolence against the government was a block is only a savage attacks. under defenseless people. in one thousand nine hundred sixty two mandela was arrested two years later he and his fellow accused were sentenced to life imprisonment for sabotage and conspiracy he was forty six years old.

during his incarceration and social unrest spread and intensified among the black people who represented almost three quarters of the population of the state responded with increasingly savage repression. in the one nine hundred eighty s. the country was subjected to the irony faced leadership of peter both are head of the national party regarded as a hard liner he was nonetheless aware that profound change was inevitable among his most influential ministers was frederick vellum declare an ambitious afrikaner who entered politics in one thousand nine hundred seventy one f. w. as everyone called him came from an influential conservative family. one must remember that his father had been a very senior national party politician it being president of the senate his uncle had been prime minister so he was deeply. involved in the whole

growth and development of the national party mr declared it was perceived to be on the conservative side that he was predicting what group rights as it was call but i think to his credit one was always that he was never in favor of a security solution for the country never in seventy one i still embraced the concept of separateness which i believed idealistic could bring justice in the early eighty's. i came to the conclusion and not only me many of my colleagues around me that the concept of separateness is just institutionalizing in just as that it was our own and that we had to abandon the concept of a part they separate us. in the early eighty's nelson mandela returned to the

mainland after two decades of brutal detention he was transferred to pollsmoor prison then in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight to more comfortable housing within the victor first a prison about one hundred kilometers from cape town. for mandela was no ordinary prisoner convinced that negotiation could bring an end to apartheid he had begun secret meetings with government representatives notably we could see how the justice minister and neal barnard the head of the secret services. and so p.w. botha identified a team of which i was the head at the time they start in total secrecy negotiations with one law which in fact started in my nine hundred eighty eight until you should release they met some got fifty times or forty eight times every week for hours on end and nobody not is almost the

archetype of an african a nationalist mandela used that to get to know the minds of the africans the minds of the national party and by the time he came out he knew more or less what they were what they were thinking what was possible what wasn't possible he knew more or less how to treat that. both at home and abroad calls for mandela's release grew louder and gained more support for his party the a.n.c. represented him as the symbol of the anti-apartheid struggle. in early one nine hundred eighty nine bhutto was weakened by a stroke shortly after a secret meeting with mandela he was forced to resign as party leader and later as president. i relented in august his former minister frederick de clercq age fifty three took

over as president of the country his priority to end the deadlock crippling south africa. on december thirteenth one thousand nine hundred eighty nine mandela left the victor vast the prison for a few hours he was secretly taken to the center of cape town to detain heis the president's office for the first time the black leader and white president found themselves face to face. i did not have. high expectations of a first meeting with mr mandela and when i did have my first meeting i did not try to achieve much for both the him and me that first meeting was to get an understanding of each other to get a feel for the person sitting across the table to start with mandela was much

taller than he expected. and he was also very impressed by president of this demand out as aristocratic bearing because we must remember that that mandela was actually raised to be the prime minister of the paramount chief of the ten boos so you have natural and natural sense of authority very dignified a very charming after that first meeting there was the feeling that yes we can do business with each other so i did expect that he would be positive about the concept of negotiations but we both of voided talking about the real challenges and the real issues at that time it was a sizing up proceedings and so that was the beginning of of a long and sometimes very very rocky relationship.

on february the second one thousand nine hundred ninety the eyes of thirty seven million south africans were turned towards cape town for the opening of parliament didn't declare was about to pronounce his first general policy speech many were hoping he would commit the country to a new direction. it is time for us to break out of the cycle of violence and to break through to peace and reconciliation the steps that have been decided on the following the prohibition of the african national congress the pan african as congress the south african communist party in a number of subsidiary organizations is being nice and people serving prison sentences merely because they were members of one of these organizations will be identified and released i think the clarke when he took over as president in one

thousand nine. i was faced with a choice he knew that the country's economy was in really deep trouble he knew we were almost facing a civil war inside the country and here suddenly the thing landed on his lap was he going to do more about it more oppression more police more military and destroy the economy get into a civil war or was he going to be the sturrock a figure that ended the war and i think the berlin wall helped him a lot because it was a strong argument to use to say we had to fight against the a.n.c. because they were communists but no communism is dead sonali can talk to them which made their message easier to accept by the white people however what is very crucial to make the point that this change when the clear speech

was not simply the result of a free condom nationalism of his party and of de klerk suddenly becoming good guys and through the good heart deciding that must be a change it was the pressure from the struggle i wish to put it plainly that the government has taken a firm decision to release mr mandela unconditionally i'm serious i'm serious about doing this matter to finality without delay the speech i made on the second of february ninety ninety contained a package of measures of which the release not only of nelson mandela but also of all political prisoners was just a part i listed the state of emergency. i tried in that speech to do

it that is each and every excuse in the sea could offer not to come to the negotiation table and during that period we were the only communicators and town and they had all of the t.v. cameras they needed to use. how and when to release the iconic mandela this was the subject of the second confrontation between the two men one week later at the president's office. i announced to him that he would be released on the eleventh of february and the first reaction was it's too soon and i said why is it too soon he said we need more time to prepare insisted that this process cannot work without me i am the key to this thing so when you want to release me you release me at a time that suits me and my family because i have to manage the a.n.c.

and it was one of the things of. your my prisoner you will do as i say and i said to him mr mandela you and i will negotiate about many things but you've been in jail long enough you will be released on the eleventh of february let us discuss what time of the day and from where you will be released. on february eleventh one thousand nine hundred ninety at five o'clock in the oftener there was great excitement at the victor fest a prison everyone had been waiting for several hours to see nelson mandela released arm in arm with his wife when. after twenty seven years in jail a free seventy one year old man returned to his home in so wet oh determined to win

freedom for his people. after four decades of conflict the adversaries mad over three days and put ischia an official building in cape time in may nine hundred ninety the jailer and his former prisoner walked side by side presenting a court image there are bound to be difficulties but these cautious optimism as well as faith and conviction that problems will be solved by negotiation. and i trust that these discussions will be another milestone on the road to a new and just self that i think it was. overwhelmingly for and. it was like people who came to gather for the first time we didn't know each other but who wanted to meet the challenge. that was a that was

a wonderful experience and was about the fact that. we suddenly realized on both sides that we had to work jointly and collectively. the way forward and to responsible to the rest of us nobody else can take that response and. you can imagine. with the background of the participants two sides that has been fighting each other. for the hammer. suddenly being. of course there's a measure of mistrust. we do know al could be just three of us. we didn't know. but the point is we had to agree there's only one way to discover. that is to me. is striking feature.

of the discussions. which will head. if you're in the last three days. has been that cordiality. where you have had. discussions on sensitive matters in a spirit of conciliation and understanding. despite the signature of a peace agreement four months later the relationship between de klerk and mandela was tainted by violence around the often lethal conflict had broken out in various regions of south africa particularly in causing confrontations erupted to between a.n.c. supporters from the closer ethnic group and supporters of the i f p the in qatar freedom party made up of zulus and led by monk to buthelezi. not just that is the place is the. truth and only the leaders the people those who can only

true the beginning of a real war discount. oh. more people got killed in south africa between one thousand eight hundred nine and one thousand nine hundred four done were killed by a potted forces in the entire history of a part that there was a natural competition between the i have p n a n c u d f but it was aided and abetted by the former military and police people called it the third force. the two big black groupings fighting and a third force egging them on and fomenting more violence leading police teats and intelligence chiefs including military intelligence we're working with elements of the put to lazy party and this of course was how mundane the came to use that

label and to and to accuse the clerk of the statistic. hundred thank you and. the national party has got that dab agenda for the negotiations process on the one hand. a talk about reform and change. that. they still want to hold on to economic advantage got power he said you see you don't care about the life lives of blacks that tell us you have allowed that situation to develop and this is why these things have happened even of that we have given you our commitment even when we have been doing that had to discipline our people and you behaved in this way because you don't care about black life i think the accusation that i didn't do

enough was unfair and that it was not based in fact from the moment that i started to have a suspicion and also in conjunction with all the allegations they were making i appointed judith to judicial commissions of inquiry the one commission of inquiry came up and opened up a can of worms to show that yes they were elements in the security forces against my orders against the policy i've laid down who continued with politically this had a tough underground activities that resulted in the dismissal or early retirement of a big number of very senior officers the credit card the difficulty he had to walk a tightrope he couldn't just walk into the military camp and say. give up your arms

and she's taken over he had to take yet to move very carefully with the police and with the military. and he did it slowly and and nelson mandela has indicated that he understood that so there was a game that mandela would put pressure on him. to disband and to end this that for violence and that that would defend. as the two leaders exchanged accusations about the causes of the violence talks continues and a conference was soon organized could desa the convention for a democratic south africa to discuss the country's future institutions three hundred delegates took part the a.n.c. and their allies demanded a majority electoral system where blacks would be dominant in the government declared his party wanted various measures to protect the white minority but on the

very first day december twentieth one thousand nine hundred ninety one the talks almost collapsed when dick clark took the floor. only one thought he should leave this room with a. schedule. and with. all the others. do not have a jeweler's. because one. thing. to be sure solution if your leaders peters closes the deletion. for certain homes with the schedule made and force them to go to you and yes to the concept of. action. i spoke last and i made a strong attack on the a.n.c.

what windowing i sent a warning to president mandela that i would be making those statements the mission which i believe did not get to him so nelson mandela sat there and watched the clerk attack him in this way. and i have never before or since seen mandela so angry at the result was then that. to the stuff that you're going so i'm going back to the microphone and started to my going to duck on was that. i heard a concern. about the behavior. often used to decay here have been less and friend. everybody has. an illegitimate. discredited. my good genes

as he. has certain moral standards or. very few. what do i have to give with such a. this was our foundation. i tried to do something different when i met daisy it was the best day of my life. i wish that day could have gone on forever. but my past caught up with me. and made us all pay the price. at this time on al-jazeera. we al jazeera has eyes and ears on the ground in southern africa identifying the crucially

important stories for an audience that's incredibly. communicated to keep. i still in afghanistan for some taliban fighters a new call to arms for taliban leaders a threat to their authority that they will see the loss of children that is often a study in all the islam they were only loving but. unprecedented access i still am the taliban at this time on al jazeera. america the top stories on our jazeera turkey syria and russia have attacked a u.s. plan to form a thirty thousand strong border security force in northern syria united states announced its support on sunday for the force which it hopes will help to defend

. it's december one thousand nine hundred ninety one talks to end decades of apartheid in south africa are faltering president f.w. de klerk has just blamed nelson mandela's a.n.c. for a surge in political violence mandela responds i. am concerned . about the behavior. of mr de cat he has been less friend. ever to have. an illegitimate. discredited. team

as he. has said. it's. very few. what i have to hear with saturn and. when you responded. to the clock was the closest we came to not having a negotiated solution i also think what he said is what mandela really thought about the clock he never said it publicly because he knew the kind of money is in knew he had to say i accept he's bonafide he's he's a man of integrity otherwise his followers wouldn't do it but there he was and he was provoked and he was angry because he didn't he wasn't warned and and that was a scary moment and i think that. told me everything i wanted to know about the

relationship between the truck and and mandela it was a terrible one it was not only assure that he was fighting for the right for his people and what they believed in and what should. expect more from any man he could have been very rude and very brutal if need be and all of this left a mark it left a scar. across it on their personal little unsure but also on the process and a need to cause some damage unavoidably so. the negotiations would last for months under the pressure of white extremists declared called a referendum in march nine hundred ninety two asking almost three million white voters if they approved of the path he was taking more than two thirds of them voted yes. on june seventeenth one thousand nine hundred ninety two zulus from the in cutter freedom party left their hostel accommodation and headed for the boy petang timeship near johannesburg where the attacked a.n.c.

supporters forty five people were brutally killed in the massacre the repercussions were dramatic exasperated mandela was very ill and in his response. and that point in that the administration of hitler was the only body that had the capacity and the power and the command was there was there to do those people and therefore to prevent that from happening even when that was was going to be intelligence with everybody that there are there's a. pileup of stocks of arms there and then there were people that were they members who went through that i can no longer at a. point in your. but look at what government where it's him. which

is right out in go up if it were. not it. to where i grew up provoked we can fight back he alleged at that stage and behove the again see that this was an example of government forces that were utilized and that point has never been proved even through the consideration commission it was that that saw mandela break off the negotiation it became frozen. we launched in that period almost immediately a call for roading mass action to revive and get to very high level the activity of the the masses in marches demonstrations protest. in early august ninety ninety two

a campaign of strikes and demonstrations was launched the power struggle culminated on august the fifth with the march on pretoria the country's political capital was. in front of tens of thousands of supporters mandela came to openly defied declare beneath the windows of the union building was the official seat of government and did not find out it was. the big hand is the nation of an interim government and their freedom and family lashes fat and sage honest and. they say to the mad. on stage you. know after tomorrow's. we have submitted to the government. the list they are not.

satisfactory. by the government. negara ca's is can not and will not a zero. the a.n.c. maintain the pressure he and dick clark were no longer speaking but in secret their lieutenants continued the discussions on the future of south africa. another massacre oblige the two men to officially renew the negotiations on september the seventh one thousand nine hundred ninety two and a small town in the homeland of cisco by seventy thousand e.n.c. supporters demonstrated against a local military leader supported by the government security forces opened fire

killing twenty nine people and wounding hundreds of others. out of the big issue issue came a meeting between our officials and the clerics and the decision to carry on and resume with the negotiations desperately seeking an agreement to clerk capitulated and ceded to mandela's demands in september nine hundred ninety two the principles behind the future constitution were determined it would be a majority system the white minority would have no veto or particular protection the date for the first multi-racial and democratic elections was set april twenty seventh one thousand nine hundred ninety four. it was therefore two electoral rivals who went to also in december nine hundred

ninety three to receive the nobel peace prize in norway. the two men attempted to put on a good show but de klerk could barely conceal his frustration. i think the decision of the nobel peace laureate committee was a very courageous decision the award to more must among dello was a popular one the award to me was a controversial award because people said but i have practiced a partake in the past i had no problem with their system on download receiving it at times it appeared as if he and the a.n.c. did not like very much the fact that it was also wanted to me and know that there were two that felt. nelson should not have shared with him i think that would have been

a terrible mistake their contribution through the nobel peace prize was their contribution to say we congratulate you the people of south africa you for it amongst each other but in the course of that fight you learned to appreciate each other as human eighty. and mandela was irritated by this man from the apartheid regime the people who put him in jail the people who oppressed these own people for so long trying to say i ended up after it praise me the clerk felt that he did not get enough credit for ending up after it and he wanted to be on the international stage he wanted to be. the big the big historical figure but he was mandela he was the biggest icon in the world so. the two perspectives and the two egos really

clashed and it was also difficult because there was a very strong and he apartheid lobby in norway didn't want him to get the you the prize atoll and at one stage mandela went out onto a balcony or. of the group the hotel and the main road of ours alone and the norwegians who were supposed to be having a torchlight parade boo de klerk and they shared mandela so it was a bit humiliating for ford truck. back in south africa the presidential election campaign proved to be extremely tense.

encounters who lose threatens not to take part in the vote and violent confrontations were frequent even in the center of johannesburg. as the world focuses on sort of a few days before the vote the two candidates faced off in a historic televised debate. where have what that plan appeared at that time life or south africa and a better life means housing starts free conduct education hospital services. we believe that that is out of me and neither the i and she's policy is riddled with that which has failed it is riddled still with clinging to nationalize ation you want

good investments as long as that is the case they says that applause. often then or is not used to address the as signees of the charter to of the population or as government is committed to it for a smaller minority he is not alarmed at that or have for devote so much of his last . or is called sounds like. they just in general how do you write him off if you talk about. that. far. and nation beauty i am proud to hold your. thought as to who are follow. on election day no one doubted that mandela's a.n.c.

would imagine is the victim the question was whether the party would gain two thirds of the vote. the final score was indisputable sixty two percent for the a.n.c. i'm just twenty percent for the national party. i hold out my hand to mr mandela in friendship and cooperation as far as my own post position is concerned i should like to make it clear. that i believe that my political task is just beginning everything that we have done so far the four years of difficult and often frustrating negotiations the problem and the crises. abin simply a blip in ration of all the work that lies in that. on

may tenth one thousand nine hundred ninety four after four years of negotiations and several thousand people killed in political violence nelson mandela became president of south africa he was seventy five years old. i think all for the future i think it's a good idea for self africa if i lived there that meets we have set out to achieve as befits. the drug thought it was a glorious moment. because it was peaceful it was accepted by the war the leaders of the world with their defeat on that day he saw it as the conclusion

of these project that started in one thousand eight hundred nine. according to the terms of an agreement signed in one thousand nine hundred three mandela led a government of national unity assisted by two vice presidents tabo and becky one of his right hand men and frederick declare. so you have my it big enough of your father's and i live in. madison. on. your we got by sorry. if a for the better public are full of it. so. i knew it was apartheid was overcome the last white president attending the swearing in of south africa's first black president. my overwhelming sense was

a feeling of accomplishment yes i have questions and i still have it in my mind. whether we will be able to stay on the right path there are threats and there are always dangers that even if you reach a good agreement that in the implementation of the agreement things can go wrong but my general sense was one of this is a good day for south. over parties with more than twenty deputies were represented in the government of national unity intended to last five years a coalition unique in the world took office a cabinet when

a former president officiated under the old news of his successor both at the head of opposing parties. facing a monday i'll never chaired the cabinet in their key the other deputy president and i chaired the cabinet on meditational basis. it was a good experience i realized and in serialize that they needed to gain experience in governance they've been a liberation movement they've been agitating they've been fighting they've been fighters in the field they didn't know how to deal with the civil service he possibly thought that his presence in the government of national unity. will give him the authority to teach then you'll come us. how to do things. whereas the odds favor invested that he was also a newcomer into

a situation that was new on twitter but there were moments when. i could see mr mandela getting frustrated. alter cations between mandela and dick clarke hit the headlines. in january nine hundred ninety five i heated disputes during a cabinet meeting which forced dick clarke and mandela to stage a public reconciliation for the media. the main focus of our discussion was our past not working relationship. our discussion was frank. add to it character in some detail with all the issues which caused the recent confrontation between us. we did not ask for an apology we are asked for the recognition of al good faith our honesty and our integrity

in the process of the confrontation also my confidence in the president was shaken and our talk this morning achieved also. the race to relation of that confidence. i'm shaking you know you love movement on the t.v. . often about eighteen months the a.n.c. started to feel they've had enough of a learning experience. and then they started to try and silence me because i was not only an executive deputy president i was also the political leader of the main political opposition part and they were trying to say i cannot in public criticize the solutions with which i

disagreed in the cabinet because i'm an executive differently president that was part of the problem which six months later after two years brought me to the decision with my party to withdrawal from the government of national unity i think that the clear and his group where feeling that they were losing too much support from the white constituency and that if they remained in government with the a n c they would continue to lose support again i think the clerics ego came in the way that and he's personal circumstances and we sometimes talk about politicians and forget that the ordinary human beings the clear cut then fall in love and married a new young woman a beautiful woman that he was very much in love with he lost his appetite for dirty

politics for hard politics. and instead of leaving his party inside and going to die with lovely little he took them all out declared can this party left the government in june one thousand nine hundred six shortly after the adoption of the country's new constitution mandela himself left politics in one thousand nine hundred nine handing over to top of baccy. in just six years of a hard for to do the two men had to radically change the course of their country's history and forever bound to their own destinies they continued to see each other far from the political turmoil like in two thousand and six at a hotel in cape town at frederick to clerics seventieth birthday. i mean.

once they had retired they knew that they the two of them played a special role. in history and they never became friends but on the one or two occasions public occasions they said nice things about it all we did . at the end if i disagreed in moment of thought all the words. all of us wiretapped l o o. o o o added more this way when. i heard a person in the us will say that our country does not suffer a normal. occurrence all. out ever get your get your. leg in the us where the. president mandela made. a wonderful short speech. at

a function for all friends and family. i was deeply touched. by that ickle vision he gave to my contribution to. help to bring peace to south africa i was deeply touched by the personal warmth. which he extended to me. i even cried a little but if i can remember well. al jazeera explores prominent figures of the twentieth century and how rivalries influenced the course of history steve jobs a much better marketer bill gates i'm going to agree advance the ball bill made
