for a deal. well that prospect may be looming large or at least that's what the head of the european commission told the parliament in brussels from time to time i have the impression that some hope that the twenty six other countries will abandon next and so on and at the last minute but this is not a game the e.u.'s chief negotiator was also resolute calling the withdrawal agreement the best and only means of avoiding a hard irish border that could threaten the historic good friday agreement so that . the backstop is not being dogmatic it is a realistic solution throughout the negotiations under your control we sought solutions to the problems created by bracks itself in particular but not only in ireland and while islands clearly worried about a no deal brics it dublin says some considerations trump economic interests we need

a backstop or insurance mechanism based on legal certainty. and not just wishful thinking for now we're left with mixed messages from the politicians here m.p.'s have said no to no deal without any clarity or consensus on how to stop it just a green light for some reason made to try once again to tweak that deal that she reached with brussels well she's now said she realizes it won't be a breeze that could well be an understatement de barber al-jazeera london. the world's number one smartphone maker announced a thirty one percent slump in profits in the last quarter of two thousand and eighty it is the first drop in two years and one of the worst performances posted by samson the south korean tech giant blames the slump on growing competition from chinese smartphone makers and a cut in orders for their memory chips. at least nine people have died in a deadly cold snap in america in some parts of the midwest in the northeastern united states temperatures have plunged to minus thirty degrees celsius the coldest

watching al-jazeera a reminder the top stories this hour the self-proclaimed leader of venezuela one has joined thousands of protests calling on the military to stop supporting president because we're there when there has war in the united states city wrists creating a vietnam in latin america. united arab emirates says the saudi led coalition in yemen has struck ten hoofy training camps outside the key port city of data on wednesday renewed fighting there is threatening a cease fire deal struck in sweden last month. has lashed out at his own intelligence chiefs calling them naive and roll over the threat posed by iran the us president's just to go back to school after officials contradicted his claims on

key national security issues. that the taliban says it is not seeking a monopoly on power in a future administration in afghanistan the group says it's looking for ways to co-exist with others and earlier this week the u.s. envoy said that had been agreements in principle towards a framework for peace for the taliban but that framework was drawn up without input from the afghan government which the taliban regards as illegitimate. well meanwhile the latest report by penn's going to watchdog says the afghan government's hold over its people is declining now controls around sixty three percent that's down almost two percent from the previous quarter whereas the taliban has slightly increased its influence holding its way over nearly eleven percent of the population the department of defense inspector general's review also reveals the u.s. dropped five times more munitions in afghanistan in two thousand and eighteen compared to two years earlier drug trafficking remains a widespread issue the report says senior afghan security forces are often in

control of narcotics rings in northern and western regions last year more than seven hundred fifty thousand undocumented afghans return from iran the majority of them a young unskilled men who the report says are vulnerable to joining extremist groups let's take this on we can speak not into. there's a political analyst and let's read more a university joins us now from kabul mr dean welcome to the program what's your sense of this report and the impact it might have on the trumpet ministration and their plans to withdraw troops. well thank you very much it's not only one point three per saying that the taliban or maybe that are in opposition in torreon but some more certainly for me that why we're not winning this war while you were just checking them out for the last fifteen years after eighteen years why the united states the international community and all stuff in government are still claiming that they can fight but still we see that decrease in the control of the afghan government i think it's not me it's international and

eyes ation including deal with the cigar they say that they're wrong military strategy they erotic what it takes and also politically tante minute jobs that of the afghan government just cause the problem and that's why they cannot defeat they mean they cannot defeat down opposition a general sense that afghanistan they're not happy about it in there just what about the future because as a nation we deserve better we as a nation we cannot close soldiers the day and we cannot pay the prices in that should be stopped immediately and indeed. with the taliban's increasing influence it puts. in a stronger position these talks. well it is when they died a state of america would like to play two techniques at the same time they would like to shake the right hands and they would like to hold the rock and the left both back to work off so far because the special and donald trump meeting have been

meeting with the taliban for six days in qatar when he kept afghanistan i think that it was not very happy he shared his concerns in his briefings with person gani there was no good reaction that i mean definitively that negotiation is on the table but if we're not going to ride that action i think we're in that we're not in that succeeding position and we have to change that the. right and so in what sense should they be changed this clearly demonstrates a failure of a the government and b. the the american intervention in afghanistan. well if there is no the american intervention afghanistan if very erotic position of the international community so far if there is fracture between the position of the unit to go men in the special why america i think it can drive us nowhere but it will just embark us and on top of the water in the middle of nowhere i mean we will be losing this negotiation and we will be losing this fight unless we have to be working and

acting smartly wisely and for gently well smart nation do not do stupid stuff and right now some of the side in the afghan war in the piece are doing some naive things which should stop in and i think we have to be acting good in an opposition that's what will make us more successful than to be losing things right where the taliban say they do not want to monopoly on power can you see the day when they could be some kind of power sharing agreement with an afghan government while you have to under same that there are different type of taliban one is directed some taliban are fighting for their ideology some thought about are fighting for that intervention and a major thought ivanna still fight for the political power sharing what the means and how they can play their their minds in afghanistan if they're not part of the political power they do not want the political power monopoly but they would like to be a part of the political structure which is nice is that it's is a logical position and you know we have to understand that when we are dealing with

the taliban in terms of bringing peace that's a good part of it and we have to be having flexibility to share the power i list when there's no point for just five for the last fifteen years there will not say it but i think there is a heaven and latent idea that they all share the power. we appreciate your perspective on this thanks very much. the united nations is warning that refugees and migrants crossing the mediterranean sea losing their lives at an alarming rate new figures released by the un's refugee agency shows that six people died on average every day last year it estimates more than two thousand two hundred migrants died or went missing while attempting the crossing the route was particularly deadly for boats leaving from libya where one person died at sea for every fourteen who arrived in europe that's despite a major drop in the number of refugees reaching europe one hundred thirty nine thousand arrived in two thousand and eighteen which is the lowest number in five years the u.n. high commission of refugees is blaming politicians for the crisis it's

a race between countries not to take the people so it's a negative race it's an anti solidarity race that the governments for political reasons are performing pushing the responsibility of this rather simple gesture to take a few. miserable people. in their country well to brits carry migrants and refugees capsized off the coast of djibouti at least fifty two people are confirmed dead and many more missing one hundred thirty people were on board the boats the coast guard is still conducting search and rescue operations thousands of people from east africa often attempt to cross the red sea in hopes of finding work in the gulf countries in tel aviv scuffles have broken out between officers and thousands of israeli ethiopians protesting against police brutality. that. the ethiopian man allegedly shot dead by the police two weeks ago the

happened and the tools that allowed the u.a.e. to spy. the key finding was the existence of project raven which is a cyber mercenary unit in the united arab emirates that was largely staffed by former u.s. intelligence operatives the country hired these people over to a contractor to essentially run their own office of cyber program so this included surveillance of dissidents journalists rivals in the region and as we found out in our story it also eventually included the law americans karma was a was a cyber weapon that was used by project raven to infiltrate and to hack into the i phones of opponents are enemies of the u.a.e. and what made it really unusual was that like with most of these types of exploits or hacking tools you know will send somebody an e-mail or send somebody a text message and they have to kind of trick them into clicking on that link right and that's usually the trick here what was really unusual is that all you needed

was the person's phone number or email address and it would automatically send a text message to that person they'd have to click on that they need to interact with it all he would just automatically begin to infiltrate the person's i phone all they need to do is receive the message and then from there are they the tool could begin to just download all the person's photographs all of their e-mails all their location data. and you know all their i messages there is a great interesting to tar obviously because that is a kind of a regional rival of the u.a.e. specifically they went after a lot of members of the royal family including the emir of qatar himself they were able to hack into his i phone and for at least an i phone at least we know it to be an i phone that was used by him and the i phones of many of his family members and you know people associated with the royal court representatives of brazil's indigenous people are gathering in public to protest against president jed both of

territory because territory in compassing everything we don't have our territory we don't have health or education. the past four years have seen a fifteen percent rise in the murder of indigenous activists across brazil with the killers rarely brought to justice. to protect their lands and to maintain their languages and culture in the face of. that now they're fighting for their very survival. only about half the three hundred fifty seven indigenous territories and i was on a state has been fully registered the president has said repeatedly that not one centimeter more will be demarcated as indigenous land why he should one percent of the population have twelve percent of the land campaign a sphere that will only open the way for further conflict sheriff. there's a feeling that indigenous rights have been abolished with no punishment for those

invading indigenous land or making death threats well was already a bad situation will now be worse a mass the new government has placed indigenous issues with the agriculture ministry which has promised to promote agri business it's not what they. want to see for future generations. i was born here my father my mother my grandparents were all from here and they died here and the new generation has come along to take care of us they will not allow the non-indigenous people to take away our land this latest battle in a conflict that's been raging for more than five hundred years there's a new just begun. and they're al-jazeera amazonas state brazil. so this is our desert these are the top stories and the u.s. president donald trump has promised support to the self-proclaimed leader of venezuela one guy two. men spoke on the phone join protesters calling on the
