these border with syria. i. for the last eight weeks kurdish fighters have been battling myself for one of the armed groups last pockets in syria you're confident that most areas are now under the control invaders problem. activists say more than two hundred people have been killed in the fighting shelling and airstrikes by u.s. led coalition forces we are. all. fighting to respect their obligation and there are international humanitarian. so really in. many families had to leave and fought the syrian red crescent says more than twenty four thousand people have been displaced in a matter of weeks. it's a lot riskier at night but more keep arriving to nearby camps but we were besieged and because we're so hungry and tired for two days we had no sleep and no food for fifteen days all that was available was grass leaves and bark from trees there was

a humanitarian crisis brewing in the remote desert areas under rice and a lack of food made worse by a shortage of medicines and doctors in the last few days dozens of isis fighters have surrendered some civilian say they had stopped them from leaving and the mostly kurdish forces are concerned but i still fighters and their families have fled among the civilians. seventy five percent of them were working with seventy five percent iraqis twenty percent syrians and five percent foreign those from central asia europe america germany and other parts of the world in addition to isis atrocities in the area coalition attacks have also reportedly killed civilians the u.s. led coalition always said that their air strike targeted eisel positions yes in some cases the surely but these positions were in heavily populated residential areas this is why dozens of innocent civilians were being killed. unicef says that

these thirty two children have been killed because of violence displacement and harsh conditions in northern and eastern syria the world health organization says it's extremely concerned about the deteriorating humanitarian situation as more families arrive in already crowded camps aid agencies are demanding unhindered access to people in need it's clear that ice is no longer controlled territory but what comes next is also a cause for concern for rights groups and aid workers tens of thousands of people in their rehabilitation and they say lasting peace will only come if the marginalized people are given hope and opportunity. in while the taliban is saying president donald trump appears to be serious about pulling troops out of afghanistan a spokesman for the armed groups says such a withdrawal is the first goal of ending seventeen years of war the taliban initially formed in the early one nine hundred ninety s.

after soviet troops withdrew from the country its fight to seize control of afghanistan in one thousand nine hundred six imposing a harsh interpretation of islamic law they would then topple during the two thousand and one us invasion of afghanistan but soon launched a fierce campaign against foreign troops in the u.s. backed government the taliban has since regained strength some analysts believe it controls as much as forty percent of the country the u.s. military says it has about forty thousand active fighters talks between taliban leaders and u.s. special envoys that started in cattle last summer and the juta resume at the end of this month. reports. it's been described by the u.s. and the taliban as a draft agreement but for many it's a significant step forward. the u.s. is ready to pull out from afghanistan in exchange for the taliban joining a unity government and ensuring the country won't be used by groups like al qaida

and i see. us all voice full of earnest and zalmai hollies that says the deal isn't finalized yet but seems confident the taliban is willing to make concessions the armed group that was pushed from power in two thousand and one has yet to commit to a nationwide cease fire who agree to hold direct talks with the afghan government it's the best chance for peace in the almost twenty years that this war's been going on and actually be over forty years that afghanistan has been at war with various forces but this is not going to be a quick and easy process. the taliban has repeatedly refused to talk to the afghan government. and which it considers an american puppet officials in kabul dismiss any suggestion for a bigger taliban role in the country if the deal happens taliban has to come to the negotiating table with the afghan government if we want to see

a peace deal because previous experiences in afghanistan unfortunately has shown that excluding the afghan government from the process has had bad repercussions and consequences a taliban spokesman says it wants a different type of government operating under islamic principles and not the current democratic system that was imposed in two thousand and one. but peace in afghanistan goes beyond internal politics pakistan has an important role and will because she'll in shaping any future peace deal but afghan president assad funny who has not been involved in the u.s. taliban talks question pakistan's commitment to and the war carney has repeatedly accused islamabad of providing sanctuaries to taliban fighters. the key to peace in kabul requires that we have a practical principled and inclusive plan for it but the keys to war are in

islamabad roll pindi and quiet or. a peace deal could change everything in a understand if possible ceasefire will be followed by a power sharing settlement a new constitution and then elections a process of that might create a new political reality in a country that's been at war for decades. a new road and the occupied west bank has sparked controversy designed to ease traffic between jerusalem and nearby settlements israeli officials call it route four three seventy but it's opponents of called it the apartheid rose the road is separated by an eight metre concrete wall on one side the drive is israeli on the other palestinian sorry force that reports. the israeli occupied west bank is hardly devoid of barriers but few tell the story of division here in quite such

a dramatic way this is road for three seventy northeast of jerusalem the left side is for those with palestinian papers the right for those bearing israeli documents side by side but each part of an entirely different road network some of labeled it the apartheid road last month palestinian and israeli activists blocked the highway calling it discriminatory part of plans to annex the west bank opening the road in january the israeli public security minister said it would help create mutual life for palestinians and israelis ensure security and strengthen israeli sovereignty. for israeli settlers it allows for fast direct access to jerusalem without having to queue at checkpoints and while the palestinians half of the road is cut off from jerusalem it has sped up traffic going north and south of mohammad has brought his vegetables here from hebron in the southern west bank. job it was then a hard yes we palestinians are restricted and limited israelis can use any entrance

and any road they like but this road does make it easier for us provided there are no other obstacle and. palestinian leaders say any such benefits will be overwhelmed by the future cost as stark and as concrete an expression this is in the current situation in the occupied west bank in terms of separation between israelis and palestinians in terms of continued israeli control here there is for many palestinians also a fear that this is a precursor to a wider separation further down the road. this stretch of highway is part of a plan to connect the palestinian cities of ramallah and bethlehem but the other part of that plan involves extending illegal settlement building east of jerusalem in a way that palestinians say will encircled the city and split the west bank into it heads the kinetic north and south but of course they made it in the world. twenty eight. the connection between is the worse for the israeli people too without the thing that we are a block in the middle of the future of the funds than. the little bit road for
