plan to abolish the death penalty. with more than $1200.00 prisoners on death row one of money invested. on al-jazeera. al-jazeera. where ever you are. very good. in the best round so far. the u.s. envoy leading the gauche asians with the afghan taliban tells all jazeera substantial progress has been made the head of a meeting between rival groups in doha.

oh it's a home run when you're watching al-jazeera live my headquarters here in doha also coming up a last minute phone call between the french and the iranian president as iran prepares to step further back from the nuclear deal. also a refugee rescue ship defies italy's government to reach port its passengers initially blocked from getting off and now i'm dry land. and the guards and women making opportunities for themselves in a bleak job market. to the program the current round of the go she ations with the taliban has been the most productive so far that's the assessment of u.s. special envoy for afghanistan zalmay khalilzad after the 7th round of talks in doha aimed at ending 18 years of fall they transcend the taliban delegates will meet

rival afghan groups none though fishley represent the government which the taliban is refusing to deal with directly charlotte ballasts sat down with the u.s. peace envoy and asked him about how things have gone. this week is the 7th round of talks how do you feel about the progress between yourselves and the taliban so far very good been the best round so far can you put a percentage number on the progress you've made this week i rather not do that. i would rather say we have made substantial progress on all 4 elements that make the framework that we have agreed to a peace agreement which is as you know assurances on counterterrorism that's important for the united states on the war. would draw all of foreign troops which is important for the taleban. interact can negotiations including a dialogue and an agreement on a road map for the political future of afghanistan and

a complete comprehensive permanent cease fire. for the 1st time i can say we have had substantial progress on all 4 if you find out that the taliban policing some of these armed groups and that potentially al qaeda is still operating inside afghanistan what can you do at that point they know the. red line of work for ronald reagan. trust but verify so there will have to be verification of about with regard to the commanders that are made do you believe that the political i'm here in doha actually has the power to command the taliban back in afghanistan 60 something 1005. well we don't know that for sure that that's the case the talib here can speak on behalf of every. all over afghanistan but i do believe that they are there are

a representative of the leadership they make the point that they are quite united and what the leadership decides everyone follows and we will have to see what kind of guarantees can you give to the afghan people that a lot of the achievements that they have seen with with freedom of press and women's rights over the last 20 years will be retained and a new political system that involves the taliban. they need to. learn about each other the taliban say they have changed that afghans need to know this new taliban have to see what has changed and the taliban need to know what this new afghanistan is like and reach some broader understanding mutual acceptance and the terms of an agreement about the future will be negotiated in the interest and negotiation but i believe this is a necessary for a step so i'm delighted that taking place who are barking of course on the violence goes all in for the past week also has been the deadliest this year according to

the new york times at least 264 members of the security forces were killed between june the 28th and july the 4th while the military was mostly targeted 58 civilians were also killed in the weeks almost 50 raids and attacks around the country the taliban has claimed responsibility for 37 of those david arose is a former director of nato operations at the pentagon he praised the efforts of the u.s. peace envoy but says the task is to groet. if anybody can pull a rabbit out of the had it's me he's probably the most able american capable of dealing with central asia and one of our greatest diplomats of the last generation so but i think the overall situation is not good the american domestic imperative is just to leave we're tired of afghanistan tired of the war but even more more so tired of the lack of progress the afghan government's made to

become a truly national government stamp out corruption and and get the gains of all of its people and then the 2nd issue was the fact that you're not sure who actually speaks for the taliban you might come to a deal but that deal doesn't you know may not have the ability to extend itself to the actual ground in afghanistan i think that while trump dislikes being involved overseas he dislikes being seen as work as as weak and he really dislikes being you know this idea that people can say he was manipulated by somebody so i don't think the united states will leave quite as precipitously us as some have announced i think it's a goal that we're working towards but it won't be resolved soon. french president has admitted to iran's president hassan rouhani that europe hasn't been able to protect his country from u.s. sanctions and that's according to iran's government after a phone call between the 2 leaders still cross said they'll do everything possible
