with their asylum cases can be heard one of them. and her small child they were kept together she's relieved to be free but says she was separated from her fifteen year old sister melissa who had to stay behind. my sister to say bye to me she told me to take care of myself and take care of the baby they were applying for asylum in america the department of health and human services confirms to al-jazeera they have just set up a task force to begin the process of reunification of families separated at the border but provided few other details on how or when it might happen journalists are not allowed inside this detention facility but al-jazeera spoke to a human rights lawyer who was. there probably they tell me that there are about at capacity but just five hundred people if they are they haven't been at that level. probably between our entire group we have you know six or seven female lawyers who are in there probably two hundred detainees over the last two days alone and

they're still there this afternoon meeting with more and more people coming most of them every single one of them across the border with children separated almost immediately from immigration asylum seekers still face hostility from the very country they look to as their hope for a better future the trumpet ministrations zero tolerance policy is still in effect so families seeking asylum that cross into the u.s. illegally are still apprehended the families are just. kept together and sent to homeland security detention centers like this one where they all face criminal prosecution it's a crisis on multiple fronts with little sign of any changes even though the top administration has said that they're not separating families anymore they haven't ended the policy that is actually at the root cause of the surge of asylum seekers from central america has actually eased up since its peak in two thousand and fourteen yet the u.s. navy has been asked to build more detention centers on military bases the intent is

to keep families together but also in custody which also keeps trump's hardline zero tolerance policy alive gave al-jazeera last fresno's texas women in saudi arabia are now officially allowed to drive for the first time this video is from just a few hours ago when the ban was lifted at midnight local time the decision is expected to boost the economy with a rise in car sales and of course you can follow all of the stories we're covering here on al-jazeera by logging on to our website at al-jazeera dot com back with more news in thirty minutes next. it's taliban oil do stay with us.

who started this thing i mean who the taliban were and i didn't know how radical they were just what they were about. one of the things of the talabani as is they they didn't have a clue about oil and gas business the idea was was to bring him over and establish credibility with it with the taliban that we were a real company. mati

millet secretly invited to a group of taliban leaders to unit cows headquarters in sugar land texas. no press covered the event. i have some the statues that i got in indonesia and their figures and the people carved out of ironwood and the people are naked. and i had one of these professors islamic professors check my house out when he saw these things he said i don't think that's going to work with the taliban. said well with this with you guys black trash bags in the alleys and put workers on the stuff that's what it is but burkas on the statue of. marty miller was a vice president of oil company unocal. they wanted to build

a huge oil and gas pipeline through taliban controlled areas of afghanistan. but how did these negotiations influence u.s. foreign policy towards the taliban. and. i am. lucky. enough can capital of kabul is preparing for a new iraq foreign forces of mostly was drawn from the afghan soldiers and police

will now be responsible for security in the country. but in twenty fourteen five thousand of them were killed in battles against the taliban. but the taliban hasn't always been an enemy of the west today their former foreign secretary lives in a heavily guarded house in one of the couple's bettors suburbs. during the ninety's he was involved in discussions with the american oil company unocal. the i will take my advice you more cause in a. blow the world out of new just forged. and. then one of the one jewish. buttons it is a little cutting it up and something to the whole thought alluded to before political committee and that is that the he was the if the but the lady of

etiquette i took as long as i was at it he out of it by the homeless but i said because he had of a place i think you. will is it if there was that they think it will last. since the soviet invasion of afghanistan in one nine hundred seventy nine the country has been in a state of constant warfare. during the afghan insurgency the mujahedeen received extensive weapon support from the united states and britain in their struggle against the russians. and. the soviet occupation ended in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine. two years later the soviet union collapsed.

you know cal's c.e.o. john saw an opportunity in the full of the iron curtain. at the time the soviet union broke up and china opened up which shop and more last sametime read a very senior guy. kind of cruising the former soviet union to look for opportunities. we realize that turkmenistan had a huge world's last gas reserves which were produced by zif soviet union but after breaking up they were not produced any longer because russia had his own gas supplies to bring to market from siberia so mr john was stock was reserves and no market. unocal wanted to build two pipelines one for oil and one for gas the pipelines would go from many stunned through afghanistan pakistan and india a distance of well over seventeen hundred kilometers construction costs would be

close to ten billion dollars. of gonna stun could earn four hundred million dollars per year in transportation costs which would more than double the afghan government's income at that time the whole area is just in turmoil you know the pakistanis don't like the afghans afghans don't like the fact stan is the turkmen are skeptical of both of them and then you've got india and pakistan all is just a mess in there. as he gets set up there was a power vacuum off to the withdrawal of soviet forces and local jewel's food out of the territories in a for trusted civil war i. realize. it is only. in the north people gathered around the northern alliance and its leader ahmed shah

massoud the so-called lion of publishers. in the south and east another movement began to assert itself in s. nic past june areas. they called themselves the taliban and was supported militarily by pakistan then in conflict with india. the pakistanis were trying to impose their will on the future of afghanistan and they wanted to ensure that afghanistan was not going to be a strong viable nation state that could in any way reconnect as they had in the past was india. taliban leader mullah mohammad omar was a war hero from the years of insurgency against the soviet union. pakistan decided it was going to assist all of all how it all bar in this group which had no name and what they provided was money on that front very. training

ammunition trucks tactical advice and then eventually they provided they call ups the students religious students afghans and pakistanis from ending what came to being thirteen thousand bhadra saw us within the northwestern frontier province. of joining going in the fight. before becoming an attorney julie soon as worked as an intelligence analyst at the pentagon who sources in afghanistan warned against you know cows close relationship with the taliban. worldwide there is a very broad perception that unocal was wrecking with the u.s.

government to promote the taliban as the most likely source or as a stable single group in trolling afghanistan. and there was a safe think and after all. or hopefulness on the part of sound that if this pipeline could be put through it could be a source of stability or development for afghanistan and i personally don't like the idea that that stability would mean that the taliban would be in charge. with the civil war raging marty miller went on his first journey into afghanistan. at the time there were six or seven warlords that were feuding with each other and it was you know if afghanistan was not a real safe place to be. the first thing i notice is the devastation. you

counter reminded me of the pictures i'd seen of. germany post world war two. the taliban headquarters it was it was a house that was still all intact but there wasn't a stick of furniture in the house all the we we slept on the floor and i and i had a it was kind a little traveling road show sort of thing course you don't have slide projector yankers there were named electricity in the building but i had some diagrams and charts in shoreham some things and some just basically to describe the project and to tell them what the benefits would be and then they were very interested. the message was always if you guys will quit fighting with each other and form a government to get you in recognition that allows us to attract the world back to

me to be financial. then we may have to do it. but the time the band were on the offensive i drove the northern alliance concept of the cities of my zone in short the farms go boom. they don't control most of the country. mohammad's not too long president during the soviet occupation had been spared by the northern alliance but the taleban showed no mercy not below was first tortured cuss treated and then harmed alongside his brother. the execution was a clear sign of what kind of regime had seized power in kabul.

julie serves traveled in secrecy took a bill in one nine hundred ninety seven in order to learn more about the new regime . i had gone into kabul when i was held by the taleban secretly they dressed as as an afghan woman in a burka. they seemed very foreign to me certainly many asked answer conservative muslims but even among them they generally do not support the sort of extremism that the taliban stands for i see the taliban really is an alien force. their attitude toward women or a number of human rights issues i found disturbing but i think it was that larger political issue of them being backed by the pakistanis that was most disturbing to me. not.

when the tide came in called out to defend your own good but the need to have a good experience with. the taleban man said bitterly just today it's. still being learning insanities and the mother says the curriculum did it was not to kill her but to troop that it was a twelve day tonight central ministry that was the problem mark. america's concern about afghanistan had been minimal before the unocal pipeline project but autumn and gus negotiations spock's the clinton administration's interest in the country. i'd probably go to

washington d c o once every six state weeks and i would typically meet with the state department the n.s.a. and cia. the cia was was very very well for you know they have this shadowy image i guess you call of that i found very straightforward and very professional and i think the clinton administration was really committed to helping you know american business and be successful. we enjoyed and really strong support from the. unit wasn't the only oil company that wanted to build. pipeline in afghanistan option time company breed us was also trying to do a deal with the taliban. oh but he does win this fight and the meal was over and does a little bit of ins of the hands of. the is of no is this is the other one had

a lot of causes for guy kid you know cogs the crew deal with the results of that as . the taliban delegation arrived at unocal is headquarters in december ninety ninety seven. marty came home one day and said fraught with g. thank about having a group of taliban and allegation come to our home for danner. to know what to say at the time i had to thank it trail and i was pretty naive maybe they come in and say how americans home and realize that their. average regular people maybe it would you know be good for them to to do this and agree to do it.

on a multi million did their utmost to avoid offending the taliban visitors and removed all the religious pictures and figures. but they did not remove the christmas trees the air that the taliban came to our house there was a charity fundraiser thing and we had seven christmas trees in our house and the tali bond just have blue their mind they can figure out what that was all about and i think they were trying to. make a connection between a christmas tree and the birth of jesus christ and you know the judge trying to make a religious guy can. action with what's his christmas tree all about. they never did understand that thing. as a whole there was free because it is too different from. eastern culture but the

phone to the nazis over the what is called us society and i'm part of this job means new outfit and custom that. dressed in their newly acquired jackets the afghans visited one of you know cows offshore platforms. and fresh and i got as they were amazed they were stunned to see these platforms in the gulf of mexico over seven and live three hundred feet of water i think just the magnitude in the complexity of things and they were very well blown away by. the next leg of their journey took the visitors to omaha nebraska where they met one of america's foremost experts on afghanistan petroleum resources. the united states were trying their best to talk to the taliban who are obviously beginning to

take over the whole of afghanistan the state department asked me to talk to the taliban's and they brought them in here. and so this room instead of having guys in suits and ties like they always had before these were talabani and you know was co-captain turbans and long beards and i really had to say they were afghans no problem and so i told him i showed him all this neat whiz bang satellite imagery and stuff and if you're looking at our country we're looking at your country where you is and you can do this to show you how to do this or you need to do is come over here and get educated in this stuff. the taliban teams journey ended in washington d.c. where they met leading officials at the state department. the state department was still hopeful that this was going to be

a part of the international combined effort that would be profitable for unocal profitable for the afghans commercially and financially profitable for the afghans in terms of development and education profitable for the region. the tali bhangra interest in the project they were keen on making it happen they never did sign a cooperation agreement or anything like that because they were afraid to sign anything without knowing specifically that mullah omar was was behind it. there were hardly any pictures of the mysterious taliban leader. in these rare footage of him. tries to hide behind a blanket. and . i was in khandahar the first time he was there and they kept saying that they were going to go talk i basked if i can go seen and they said no no no it's just

you're not seen short of to see them all over your. mind you know khalid was in dialogue with the taliban about the pipelines another actor began to assert himself in afghanistan will sum up bin laden. this son of a saudi construction millionaire was a local hero because he participated in the insurgency against the soviet union. in return to afghanistan in nine hundred ninety six after having be forced to leave the sudan. now he was preparing for a new war global jihad. wayne

started on. the good hot tin can sequence a concept called believe in engine and see the fun it was sometimes not any need scully eager to sue the time bomb movie and to kind of not to be protected. as a rival back in afghanistan coincided with my own to work with the un. never met the salad at a lot and i saw him once in the bazaar then as convoy car passing by but i never you know we didn't labor anything we didn't know each other were looking at the other so. that first year that he was in the area was the time when he's solidified his free lation ship was mullah mohammad omar. natoma and rid of the. there is

a lot of work in those you go. where did nature of the moon shot up i say you have to do with the judgment of when i'm going to a muslim or when the interview took on a whole almost sort of. in afghanistan multi millon and unocal how did the cia did the training of local workers who were to be employed on the so-called peace pipeline. we'd like our locally so he had employment opportunities for the afghans in fact one of the things we didn't khandahar as we established a training center we found an old abandoned warehouse that we outfitted then we brought some equipment any a welding equipment. tools that were needed for the training. without being aware of it marty miller had established his training center in the same street as a sawmill bin laden's house. and i'd never heard of the guy before i didn't know

who it was looking back on it. kind of gives me the creeps this is think about his act most of that. was some of bin ladin was also busy building training facilities. it was a war that united egypt and syria had against israel but in the heat of the battle that different agendas soon became apparent i suppose that his dream was to offend to feed to my sixty seven when president said that came to a poet he told us just give me ten centimeters of land in the east the second of a three part series israeli population but told that their troops were on the west bank of the so is going to exploit the second week of the war in october on al-jazeera i think one of our biggest strengths is that we talked it over it would

take to get them to. tell their stories and doing that really reveals the truth people are still gathered outside these gates waiting for any information most of them don't know whether their loved ones are alive or dead or miami really is a place where two worlds meet we can get to washington d.c. in two hours we can get it on jurists in the rest of central america about the same time but more importantly as well those two cultures north and south america at least have to teach to a very important place for al-jazeera to be examining mandatory sentencing in the us if the state of florida requires the rest of my life in here as a tradeoff for my family's life pardon i'll do it if the defendant goes to trial the judge has no option but to give the mandatory minimum they were complaining or this judge gives you five years and this judge gives you twenty years so the legislature acted to make a difference exploring the dark side of the american justice system with joe berlinger on al-jazeera.

i. osama bin ladin was busy building training facilities. bin laden eventually became

responsible for organizing the flow of foreign fighters between chechnya bosnia and the arab world for the taliban these soldiers were useful reinforcements in the fight against the northern alliance this enabled been logging to strengthen his alliance with the taliban and to recruit soldiers for his holy war on the western world. was this your first boat that idea that this is no yes but what i think you know i think that there are. there are safeguards that are left out of government out of found that well that can vary a bit and their value in that you know if you but if you go below the roof and on and. on the seventh of august nine hundred ninety eight a bomb exploded at the u.s. embassy in nairobi. similar tenuously

a bomb detonated in neighboring towns and in two hundred twenty four people died in these terrorist attacks and building four thousand were injured. i'll call you to trademark was established serial attacks triggered by suicide bombers. i don't think i was terribly surprised when i heard about what had happened because bin laden was there he was able to do it and the afghanistan and he was being detected by the taliban. the young spy wanted to learn more about bin ladin and visited his enemies the northern alliance it was a perilous journey on horseback. along by roads. my interest in what was going on in the n.t. taliban areas because that was the area where we did not have a lot of them from ation in my sense from back in washington is that

a lot of officials and policy makers were just writing off the resistance to that bond. she met northern alliance leader ahmad shah masood who asked for support from the west in the fight against the taliban and al qaida. during her visit serves go to a unique insight into what was to come. northern alliance prisons were full of foreign fighters from several countries their goal was to participate in the global jihad. she was especially shocked by what the prisoners told her about the close relationship between pakistan the taliban and al qaida most rude urgent he wanted to alert the west he wanted more people to know about the taleban and how they

were interacting with bin ladin in to emphasize that if we were opposing bin laden that we should really realize that he and the taliban were sharing the same goals and resources in funding. but judy says report was not well received by her bosses at the pentagon. the state department was even more annoyed people were saying they were very upset about my trip and i was told i simply wasn't going to be able to stay and that they weren't going to give me my security clearance back so essentially they fired me. the clinton administration continued into efforts to influence the taliban regime. we were in the middle of trying to. get them to modify their behavior and i'm a believer and you talk to your friends and your enemies talking is not acceptance

of those practices. from day one the clinton administration was trying to push back in first you know control and then pressure the taliban regime into change and of course that escalated once son of bin ladin left sudan and went to afghanistan in one nine hundred ninety six the bombings of ninety eight were conducted from there so it was very much on the forefront. the problem of osama bin laden stood in the way of any agreement about future oil and gas pipelines. he had declared war on america and this on the ten years bombings of our embassies in tanzania and kenya really put us on a war footing with sound and then from that point on we were actually trying to kill him. on the twentieth of august nine hundred ninety seven president clinton ordered the launch of cruise missiles against several outcall you

bases and i understand. four of the bases were destroyed you know twenty five. were killed but osama bin laden himself escaped i remember when president clinton sent some cruise missiles and afghanistan. i just as when i told. my boss in the board of directors that it was time that this this one got to go anywhere any time soon. about point you know withdrew from the part blind project but the french intelligence analyst. argues that the idea of an oil and gas pipeline lived on. in the states what was fixing. they were pressuring the taliban to release bin laden. by negotiating about the pipeline at the same sign the taliban were

thinking they were calling the united states is not in by discussing with them the pipeline. or mile mark the pipeline issue was in leverage in preserving his country from u.s. strikes and avoiding to take a decision on bin laden. osama bin ladin was also interested in continued pipeline negotiations. a strategy memo from bin laden's close aide to mohammed ought to have was found to join the investigation of the nine hundred ninety eight east africa embassy attacks this memo written by mohammed atta as it states clearly that as far as the taliban were mentioning relationship in some way was with american businesses over his project or u.s. diplomats. and their security and tightest security guarantee.

the little. the terror attacks against the east african embassies tested the relationship between the taliban and the al qaeda leader. has prisoners in afghanistan. became a big part of the trip. and they did in there in the early should between afghanistan and the international community. there are. a lot of. if you had to pick a pedestal to be part of those see was a victim of thirty percent so you have no sort of blood because you know sid no

baseline near zero but the kind you oh and your way those shooter was something. the deer counted out as you know. and just sort of figured it was just as you would understand the saudis have. done and found. all the for you from a hunger strike in front of another. for the. news that he. did that is. towards the end of the ninety's the pipelines were no longer on the agenda or in talks between the us and the taliban. the us austin thirty times for osama bin laden to be handed over but the taliban gave no clear answer that tox went essentially nowhere in the taliban the more we would close and the more they push back the more we push them on al qaeda. expelling a salad bin ladin they more they would fish back. they just got more decided.

to keep. not follow and to teach you talk to no man no of the honey you. tell your bible. for them but you know that nobody. does a fish to each other not to do but do a know or are you going to put on a come. when george w. bush came to power in two thousand and one even you to attempt to get bin ladin extradited and get started with the construction of the oil pipeline. by the unit. it was out of the picture but others tried to revive the plans.

w. bush in this direct connection with the oil industry and he was to try to be more observers of word that i. made a special documentary about the prelude to september the eleventh. american born adam gadahn is the film's narrator an attack on afghanistan had been planned for a long time the americans are boiling mad about a number of things the islamic emirates domination of strategic energy reserves as well as the root of the proposed gas pipeline from the caspian sea. and most of all its refusal to hand over osama. in berlin in july two thousand and one

a final dramatic meeting about the taliban was arranged between representatives of the united states government and all the players in the region. to pongs during these talks there's a u.s. representatives that will make this ultimatum that will have enter the carbons of holes in the carpet a bomb. the americans and informed their allies during a meeting in germany of their plan to invade afghanistan in the autumn before the first snowfall with she is what the eventually did so we knew it was coming the question was do we sit back and wait or do we surprised them was a preemptive strike. get

my. eye . i was there in nine and they were in new york it has already begun to the end. here what a tragic and kind of out of the people of the united states innocent people were wiping. others not all of it is but i need. not just on the above of the so i would get you there is a good study about to be judged on zero or on budget. by the. jews. bush in that year was there to tell you about us or the speaker to. cross over to.

the taliban offer to extradite osama bin laden to a third country but now the americans have decided to remove both him and the taliban the from the seventh of october america and britain attacked. the northern alliance exploited the resulting calles and the taliban regime unraveled. on the twentieth of november two thousand and one the capital city of kabul failed. with us backing canid karzai was inaugurated as president his brother had been working for unocal and because i was well acquainted with the pipeline plans. soon after nine eleven a couple of moms suddenly we feared that's copeland's from the region got together and basically decided to revive the project. that means that even without knowing

the fate of. terms of stability all these countries at come to the same conclusion they had reached before nine eleven the spy plane was crucial that. the interests. after years of war there is still no pipeline the taliban is back in strength and reluctant to negotiate about peace. they cost the kind of on government brought to a new government and the title of democracy in the himalayas met dave did not bring peace to afghanistan the insurgency against paygo have been installed by the international community is still going on.

in the war against the taliban has made the building of the pipeline impossible. the afghan north also how some oil after the pipeline was shelved john i vote who had left unocal considered investing in an oil and gas project in mazar e sharif. look at afghanistan a political risk is amazingly high. but the reward is also moderate. together as. opportunity for. the two argued that the country's petroleum. previously known. as the geology in that part of the

world for both mineral resources and hydrocarbons that's pretty spectacular. who are. those resources first. and then the past thirty years of war nobody's been able to do much. one afghan who tried to develop the country's oil resources and an early stage was king mohammed zahir shah. after thirty years in exile he returned a lot of afghanistan's history has been. came came when he was only nineteen years old nine hundred thirty seven when he gave the u.s. firm inland exploration company exclusive rights to oil extraction in the northern areas of the country. they were also given the rights to build a sixteen hundred kilometer pipeline. but the second world put a stop to these plans. older afghans. a time

of peace economic progress the introduction of democracy and education. they need money nannie. made new attempts to restart oil and gas production in the fifty's and sixty's a series of test wells were drilled and. geologist mapped the country's resources. afghanistan at the end of the seventy's as part of the atlas afghanistan project. he got a unique insight into the maps of mineral resources. there was one american geologist me and two hundred fifty soviet russian geologist. so when i left afghanistan in late seventy eight i was actually in de ported by the

communists who had taken over the government i left having sent my maps out of the country in a diplomatic pouch came back to the united states and i worked on the mineral resources in afghanistan ever since. west of mazower other remains of a canister finally from the soviet era. the plant is stayed in operation but no longer produces as much as when the russians were there. mouthing about on the roof i don't understand kindles are not that hold only shasta million goes down as it has sought asylum laws passed through our johnny sure and saddam saddam mission that one. could be sure that in asia.

in two thousand and seven an experienced oil geologist rediscovered this area. he'd previously worked for unocal but he now worked as head of the norwegian aid project oil for development he wanted to help afghanistan with a new oil will. if true to his dissuaded from traveling to the north but with an armed escort he went anyway. at one gas plant he discovered a brick don't room documentation of soviet oil and gas production had been hidden. behind the secret wool lay old maps and seismic surveys that showed afghanistan's oil and gas resources was significantly greater than the outside world was aware of and made his decision though there is so much all the time that all this is ultimately a sister to. or the message in the i was told old shit to all fourteen years of

thirtieth in the world than that in the midst of a legal slow deal with. the administration offices for oil and gas in mazar i'll show reef allocated an old soviet buildings. chief engineer mohammed to john off toddy has made it his life's work to preserve the dusty archives. several times he saved maps and documents from destruction. lavoy we can accurately critical cannot get on the ground and here at home i would not undergo no why would i not perfectly have an anti-war younger than stuff on my third cousin that i was young good hard time in condition it is yeah the world didn't shut down after much it yeah i don't know how he ended she asked me how much

of a mind he has he not been the last telling me that it would take me a lot of their guy a moment as he is american not lay your. letter you could have the knowledge no not me if. he does most i am not a woman i don't know. you don't know how i felt i don't know a lot on behalf of the majority. leader and. despite little money and poor health i toddy has systemized the finals and preserve the valuable data for the future i don't know one of the at least i want to talk of the job of our day not wanted or india could make about what it is a moment ago i thought that i'd buy the time but i reckon you i mean there's just a market need not all i know or don't know or don't offer. you may have to hold off on the way mad mad cow but he'll be
