the police what we're seeing is regular shoppers and regular people trying to confront the police off them why they're using such excessive force when there are people who have nothing to do with the protests now this has been a constant refrain and this has been the next step in the protests that we are seeing where people want police accountability for their actions this is in stark contrast to the protests we saw earlier today when thousands of people marched to the u.s. embassy calling on the u.s. to push through a bill that would give them greater powers to safeguard on concertina me. well as i mentioned before the protesters and now sending out an international appeal for help in their efforts made to brown has more on that part of the story was these protesters want global attention their target on sunday the united states. to china's leaders this will fuel their suspicions that foreign powers

a way forward to have stability in the country or in the northern part of syria there's always a risk because there's still be dishing between both sides are still in a and b. to somehow this all with this risk but now there is this a gauge and. the kurdish. forces decided to pull back a little bit especially their heavy weapons their main minister millet and they backed away from this area in the past few days to pave the way for this live to start but that the other day you had the men bish. mother for example where they miss to see a lot of. tissue between both sides so now the stakes are higher because especially the u.s. they want at some point to be able to be with their forces from this area but now they became more involved in managing those 2 but there is always there but i think for now it's i don't see any risk of confrontation but we have to watch the coming weeks what would happen. thousands of islanders in the bahamas are abandoning their

cancellation of the talks will harm the u.s. more than anyone and it was the case that when the taleban tried to gain negotiating advantage by conducting terror attacks inside of the country president from made the right decision to say that's not going to work we're going to walk away from a deal if others try to use violence to achieve better ends in a go it's not right it's not appropriate killed american and it made no sense for the taliban to be rewarded for that kind of bad behavior. the british government is insisting it will exit the european union by a top of the 31st despite multiple setbacks in parliament and the resignation of a senior cabinet minister meanwhile fund says it doesn't want another brags that delay and the u.k. needs to show the way forward police in south africa have fired stun grenades and rubber bullets to break up crowds on the streets of johannesburg one person has died and 5 others have been injured but he said the situation is now under control

and welcome to the program i am hashem. talks to the war in afghanistan appear to be making progress the taliban and the u.s. came up with a draft deal nearly a year of discussions in qatar and they're back as chief negotiator sounded up to mystic when he revealed that detail so the afghan president last week but now a breakdown in a suite the u.s. president canceled a secret meeting with taliban leaders and the afghan president at camp david donald trump blamed the taliban car bombing that killed an american soldier and 11 other people in kabul on thursday he doubted the group wanted to negotiate a meaningful agreement by the taliban warned the u.s. that americans with suffer more than anyone else for canceling the talks tony berkeley is in kabul for us. privately i think the afghan government is pleased

that these talks are being canceled but officially they are thanking the americans for their efforts in these peace negotiations and they have stressed that the only way to getting and meaningful peace in afghanistan is through nonviolence they want the taliban to stop fighting they want to ceasefire something that has never been agreed between the americans and the taliban and they want to hold direct talks with the taliban this is something the taliban has always refused they call the afghan government a puppet of the americans and they refused to talk to them of course with this draft peace agreement if it was signed it would then lead to direct talks in some form with the afghan government but there are concerns now the afghan government wants an end to the what the fighting it wants then meaningful talks to go ahead and the big question is where does this now leave us the taliban we understand are having high level meetings of their own they can go 2 ways they can either say yes hang on the americans are serious let's go back to the negotiating table with

something more to offer because so far they could see did very little or it can lead to an escalation of the conflict everyone here has been concerned at the pace of these peace negotiations it had 9 meetings in a year quite an achievement getting them around the table in the 1st place but the americans have being expecting too little from the taliban that's the overriding opinion so they want more from the taliban before we will get a meaningful peace but there is still here now an edge to this city people are concerned that the attacks which have increased in the recent days and weeks may increase even further. it's unclear whether the u.s. taliban talks are permanently over or just this moment but here's a look at how they began the group peter lee refused to hold direct negotiations with the afghan government its views are stuff that on his administration as illegitimate taliban leaders insist of the negotiating with the u.s. instead those talks began in qatar last october after 9 round of meetings the 2

sides struck a draft peace deal that could lead to the withdrawal of 5000 u.s. troops in return the taliban must go and it won't use afghanistan as a base for attacks on other countries. let's bring in our guests moshtarak a haim is a founding member of the afghan think tank afghanistan affairs unit and worked on the afghan peace process in london hamid hacky me a research associate at chatham house and former international policy advisor to the afghan ministry of foreign affairs and in alexandria virginia in the u.s. john you watch syria expert in afghanistan of the united states institute of peace welcome to your wish how significant was that tweet about trump who was willing to meet with other and with us the afghani at camp david.

significant given because apparently everything was seemingly sorted out between the polygon and. when he came to kabul he even showed a copy of the peace agreement that was about to be signed between the sides and then president of money was all prepared to fly out to the united states so this these the seabees of the tweets that came last night i think it tests court absolute hard at least for the time being with the ongoing peace process and there has been significant level of mistrust now created between the palestine and the americans which was garnered generated by. the course of the last 12 months in 9 rounds of peace negotiations with the parliament. hakimi i mean we knew that the taliban and the americans what about to finalize

a breakthrough deal but i mean to see trump shaking hands with more love rather talking to us in a funny than announcing that deal this must have been a bombshell revelation that could send shock waves across the political establishment in afghanistan absolutely the optics would have been entirely something out of a movie you could say but but but yeah absolutely that there is significantly you know a significant elements within afghanistan who disagree with the way the talks with the taliban are going not necessarily with the fact that there is a process of negotiations of the taliban but the fact that the taliban have remained consistent in their messaging that this is a negotiation to end what they call the foreign occupation so they have been on message whereas. part of their speaking to i.e. the united states seems to have come round to the idea of talking to the taliban so

that the optics have always played in the last sort of 11 months 12 months in the favor of the taliban per se especially to their constituency and absolutely having a summit in camp david which is a venue reserved for what leaders for global. significant globally significant events this would have legitimized the taliban i think also to the extent that some people in afghanistan particularly the political elite who don't like the taliban would have not like to see. johnny is this an official american recognition of the taliban as the one so called the final shots in afghanistan and therefore the americans recognize the need to do business with them from now or worse no i think there is absolutely not an official recognition of the taliban by any means and i don't think anyone within the u.s. government would support that i think there is a strong belief that the only positive outcome to this war in afghanistan is

a peace process and that the way to get one started is an agreement with the taliban that involves drawing down troops conditionally and over the last year there's been an enormous amount of effort put into broadly support across the american government. that's crucial this obviously is a major major moment probably setback to the effort but regardless of where it goes and who is willing to talk to the tower and i don't perceive any sense that they recognize the taliban as a legitimate government or anything else that's how they view the afghan government we're stuck what's next do you think that this is something that was going to be permanently disposed or do you see the potential for there americans and the taliban to sit together a do go away out. well to the left frankly speaking all sides engaged in the afghan conflict have been facing the brunt of the ongoing conflict which is

faced with an absolute stalemate since 2014 and that was the sole reason that all parties the garda so your position were prepared to engage in negotiation process i don't see this series of tweets detailing the whole process are putting a full stop to it definitely this has there is mistrust created between the 2 sides . 3 the taleban have lost a bit of ground in regard to trusting the american government as they also say this in the statement that came out today but definitely i'm seeing that they're going back to the negotiation table but it's going to be another gruesome and long way before the can reach an agreement because trust is often essence in any peace process and i think that was built by zell my follies

after mactech keyless engagement with the taleban in 9 rounds of. negotiations in the meantime he had conceded the avalon government as far as the taleban were concerned in the peace process and he went to the extent where he did not even handle the copy of the peace agreement and rather merely be sure to. have one president we saw that there were statements from the avalon national security advisor in the united states argued in the course of these 9 rounds where he said that they don't trust them my colleagues that then he was strong which was that which is a living and we want it i don't know we'll why the op suck because they have been completely fine lined during the 9 months of negotiations how meat let's talk a little bit about that draft agreement when you're. of the continent is gives you the impression that the americans in exchange for

a sense of guarantee of security and stability in afghanistan from the taliban they were willing to give them an absolutely huge political sway in the country. i mean depends how you look at the draft and who you are when you look at the draft certainly from any angle that you look at that particular document it can look at it can look as a as a document been put together to give the taliban the legitimacy of they've always wanted they have always a well argued since 2000 only to thousands when they started to fight against the u.s. presence in afghanistan that they wanted a negotiation directly with the united states that they did not recognize the afghan government as a legitimate entity that it was one that was put in place by the by the united states so that draft agreement there were there were tacit. sort of confirmations of those assumptions the taliban have had and have been promoting to their

constituency for all these years and this is why exactly there was such a huge amount of reservation what then certain afghan. political elite circles not not least within the afghan government itself under president as ani. that they did not like the document they were dead immediately explain that they had reservations about certain elements of it and i think also for the for the broader public we should not forget that afghanistan has been urbanized since 2001 to a greater extent there's a huge number of people that live in the cities and that cities have been broadly facing the brunt of the taliban attacks where in the rural areas the taliban have been attacked consistently by the nato led and then you know the last few years by the afghan security services so in the cities the perception of a peace deal with the taliban and how it's received is entirely different to how it might be viewed and ok perceived in the rural areas although afghans as a total they do want an end to violence but i think that particular draft looked like it was giving the taliban upper hand and the taliban could actually sell it as

a as a product that shows that they have actually succeeded that they've beaten the world's heaviest superpower and all those kinds of things you can create a narrative in your favor from johnny b. some. american diplomats cautioned against the deal of particular when it comes to the we draw prior to any comprehensive settlement with the taliban saying that it could be catastrophic leading to further an alkie in afghanistan isn't this a realisation of the the pleas from those expose that the americans are giving too much to the taliban in exchange for permanent deal well i think the most important part of that the deal as it's been structured has often been missed in the public discussion and there's a perception that in this deal the u.s. troops would leave no matter what the taliban does and that perhaps what some taliban hope is true and certainly what many in afghanistan fear is true i really don't think it is true this is that has been fairly clear many times his phrase is

nothing is agreed until everything is agreed and the concept is that this deal lays out a conditional draw the other potential drop down and the timetable on which would happen but there's a huge difference between agreeing on that timetable and actually removing troops and so i would strongly agree with those diplomats who wrote the letter you're referring to that the actual departure of u.s. troops needs to be pinned to milestones in the peace process because what's important is to actually get to a cease fire and political settlement that brings peace to the country without that a drawdown could be a disaster but i really think this deal has been mischaracterized as leaving regardless of what happened. well anyway we do understand wish that part of the provisions of the deal are kept secret for the time being because it's not set in stone but however let's try and read into the possibilities and scenarios once

there is a deal what becomes of the taliban what kind of role do you think they would accept to play in the afghanistan in the future if it is not the lead role in the country . well besides it has been a hide and seek sort of game between the taliban and the americans none of them have been coming clear in terms of their position i can remind you some of the taliban leaders previously after grounds of talks talked about resolving the avalon aadmi overhauling the hope of doing the constitution but then they went back and said well we don't mean that and we will continue with the current system so there was no clear stance from there and that was something that was that put the avalon people in a state of bother about their future right now the taliban have been looking forward to taking a whole of the pie as earlier was said that they wanted to claim a victory against the american establishment of the busy regime of the late

ninety's back however the also understand the ground ground realities that afghanistan has progress toward the last 2 big it significantly and it might be difficult to go back to that hardcore taliban system but of course they were looking forward to taking go the whole government and coming as. at the ied. as a group leading the country whereas the afghan government has been pushing for elections and and offering that participation and integration in the national political system so not that i see a point that we go into. hakimi now if you look at the latest developments on the ground i mean the taliban control something like 50 percent of the terrorists or enough god has done they can launch attacks at the very heart of kabul i mean it's a clear indication that the americans do understand that for them to move forward

in the future they need to have the taliban on board as likely as a key player to ensure stability i think i would caution as a research about those statistics i just read. on my own just look at the new little guy not the i don't i thought and i don't you know lose the on the on out of the sense i don't doubt. i don't doubt that what you just said the authenticity of it but the way to interpret that perhaps is important to look at whether the taliban really control do they disrupt and i'm not in any way in favor of my status or in favor of the government or the taliban i'm just giving you an analytical view on this afghanistan has population centers they have urban centers of districts and terms of clear cut districts you have on i think you have about under a 60 degree districts that are clearly under the control of the taliban over $200.00 of those districts are under the control of the government and the

remainder is a contested area but also there is a population center argument so that when you look at these districts on the part that the geography of the country there is a distribution of population so the majority of the country's population live in areas which are claimed by the afghan government to be under their rule but it's absolutely true in security it's extremely extremely disheartening i mean even for all of us when we go to kabul for afghans themselves when they travel out of the capital city certain times of the day in the evening is difficult to go out of the precincts of the city is just a lot of insecurity so there is of course this this disruption this kind of stalemate which was mentioned by much talk earlier but i think it certainly doesn't mean that the taliban have demonstrated that they can hold cities and they can hold territory that's a completely different debate that we haven't experienced you point the big cities the big service provision and all of these things are still done with the direct support of the international donors and delivered you know either back well or

badly by the afghan government so they are of the taliban as far as they're concerned have not demonstrated a record of governing and the last. several years except for being an extremely effective and surgeon see group that they can disrupt they can mobilize attacks in the heart of the cities across afghanistan including in kabul at absolutely miraculous amounts of time that they could have done it mr walsh what is the most. likely scenario so the deal a power sharing agreement between the government of us a little on the along with the leadership of the taliban or do you see the taliban having of having you know way or another the upper hand well i think that the problem is that no side is likely to win a military victory really at any point and so the whole premise of why the peace agreement is so important is that you could plausibly get to a scenario where no party gets all of the pie but all of them get enough of the pie to feel like it's a reasonable deal and a better alternative than just fighting indefinitely and it has been fighting

indefinitely so far so i think i worked on this diplomat for many years i've experienced some other very difficult moments where there was a near mess and then something like this happened and the talks the next days are really really crucial and there's a limited window to save what what in the big picture is a huge moment of opportunity that i don't think is come before where the whole world is focused on this peace process all of the relevant countries i think are supportive of this peace process working out the parties were ready to talk to each other and to at least explore some kind of reasonable way forward that ok i would have to overhaul the current system so the next few days are truly proof i say you're going to keep this i mean a larger breakdown what happens next if the talks collapse. ok 1st of all i would like to just say that i recall mr hockey reis position on the

percentages that you mentioned secondly on the future course of action there is no way out but negotiation settlement the military carcass does almost impossible for all sides and the talks should not and i believe would not collapse the only thing is that timeframe back was in massaged. sealing the deal will lapse further we will have more rounds of negotiations but definitely a new position have to continue i don't waste the while and still reached a level which might not be a north side will be able to contain and being out of control ferial the only really out is the negotiator said i'll have to go to the hakimi missile hakimi we sometimes we just tend to think about the americans with used leverage in afghanistan but there are other countries with huge interest the iranians the russians the pakistanis the indians regional players in this part of the well the qataris the south is the emirate is how does the or geo political dynamic play out

. i mean it has. it has obviously a very important and significant role because of the geographical location of honest on because of how the afghan government at least in the last decade or so has been reconnected to some extent to the new realities and in the region. those players all of these countries they have a lot of leverage in the country they have their particular clientele relationship but segments of the elites in afghanistan and certain segments of the territory could be more vulnerable to their influence as directly as well so there are parts of the country that has border with pakistan huge significant parts of the country that also parts of it with with iran and all of those realities are important but in no way i would say that any of those relationships with afghanistan or with the war in afghanistan is as significant as the role of the

united states because the united states let's not forget is the biggest donor of the afghan government it has been its remained so it has been the biggest donor to the military expenditure and it has been at the forefront of supporting the afghan security forces fighting the taliban with the drone operations and all of this so of course all of these regional equiv rims are important but the americans central remains and i'm just so very long for error on the early. if i can make a quick clip quick very easily please very briefly. yeah i just wanted to say i just wanted to say that what regards to what happens the day after the peace deal what with all due respect i think nobody really knows even the taliban have not had had the opportunity to to i think think about this in the i'm going to lead certainly don't know what happens the following day and because we don't know what happens after the deal is signed this deal with the united states and the between the us and the taliban or even the final agreement you know there is not

a lot of anticipation about the clarity of how american would look like the day after a peace deal and hence you have all this hesitation and all kinds of uncertainties on the ground johnny less than a minute because if you don't mind until before the tweets the those talks were not really topping the agenda in the news media now let's assume that trump manages to bring them back together the taliban and a sort of army and finalize a deal how significant for him this is going to be. i mean that would be very significant a big part of president trump's political argument is that he's good at making deals deals in afghanistan and elsewhere are often very difficult and so if you were to help accomplish a breakthrough like that it would be hugely significant i'd also just said quickly to mr king these points that right now all of those conflicted regional states are quite alive and behind wanting this process to work and that is rare given the diversity of interests. if this process breaks down more largely i don't think that

unity will continue i suspect all 3 of us would agree on that and the international actors russia china pakistan the u.s. will all have incentives to back different actions to back different parts of the afghan war and that can lead anywhere good so it further illustrates the need to make this diplomatic push work because right now all the political incentives are aligned behind it and to lose this moment of it would be a tragic well it's very interesting to see how this is going to further unformed bought until then i really appreciate your time and contribution johnny watch how meat hakimi and. thank you too for watching you can see the program again and it's on by visiting the website. for further discussion go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter al hunt is a jane syslog for me about on the whole team here in doha by phone

president from made the right decision to say that's not going to work. the u.s. secretary of state says peace talks with the taliban are dead for now after donald trump counseled a secret meeting at camp david. far as a train station. and key roads blocked in central hong kong after all march on the u.s. consulate gives way to chaos. in london with the top stories from europe including. popularity. after russia had. the message for world leaders outside u.n. headquarters on the number of children killed or maimed in conflict. and harding with sports australia have remained it retained the ashes after beating england in the 4th test and ferrari win their home i talian brown creek for the 1st time in almost a decade. u.s.

president donald trump says he's canceled a secret meeting with the taliban in the united states leaders were supposed to fly to camp david on saturday night u.s. secretary of state my pump a 0 says talks with the taliban are now dead for the time being and the special envoy is being recalled meetings between him and the taliban have been ongoing in qatar for nearly a year and it was the case that when the taliban tried to gain negotiating advantage by conducting terror attacks inside of the country president from made the right decision to say that's not going to work we're going to walk away from a deal if others try to use violence to achieve better and senate negotiators it's not right it's not appropriate killed american and it made no sense for the taliban to be rewarded for that kind of bad behavior when the taliban released a statement in response saying americans will suffer more than anyone else because

of trump's decision to cancel the talks while the office of afghan president says peace will only be possible if the taliban stop launching attacks and hold direct talks with the government. we expected an outcome that could lead us to a cease fire that could lead us to a direct negotiation with the afghan government and the taliban so unfortunately so that's that we didn't see. our current terry we saw and we are observed that there could be rests to any process that the afghan government is not the main stakeholder and that and any process that cannot guarantee a cease fire a halt to the violence could be arm for for all of that humans that we've gained there rob ronald's has more from washington d.c. . talks between the u.s. and the taliban are dead at least for the time being following donald trump surprise cancellation of

a secret summit with taliban leaders at the president's retreat at camp david we made real progress and then the taliban failed to live up to a series of commitments that they had made when that happened president trump said i'm not going to take that deal i'm not going to work with someone that can't deliver on their commitments pump a also said the u.s. special envoy for afghanistan is being recalled and he warned that things are about to get worse for the taliban after fighters took responsibility for a suicide bomb attack that killed 12 people in kabul last week including a u.s. soldier trumps national security adviser john bolton and republican party politicians have been dubious about the nearly year long negotiations hosted by cantars saying taliban leaders are not to be trusted it doesn't seem to get better but i'm sure it will get worse if we leave frankly i think backing away from where we were just dealing with the taliban is the right thing to do leaving troops there for right now is the right thing to do democrats criticized drops negotiating style

saying he doesn't take advice from experts that our president isn't listening to his generals to his diplomats to the intelligence community frankly that's largely why general mattis for whom i have huge respect resigned in protest was our president's tendency to make a brought decisions without knowing the context or the region and without relying on the advice of the skill diplomats and generals we have trump has promised to withdraw around $14000.00 u.s. troops based in afghanistan failure to fulfill that pledge could have adverse political consequences in the presidential election a little over a year from now whether the talks are truly dead remains to be seen pompei own noted that trump has employed similar tactics before only to resume negotiations later he walked away and annoy. from north koreans when they wouldn't do a deal that made sense for america he'll do that with the iranians when the chinese moved away from the trade agreement with the talks on hold the longest war in us

history will continue to drag on approximately 2400 u.s. service members have died in afghanistan since 2001 and more than 100000 afghan civilians soldiers and fighters have lost their lives robert oulds al jazeera washington. marvin weinbaum is a former afghanistan and pakistan analyst at the state department and a scholar at the middle east institute he's joining us on skype from washington d.c. thank you very much indeed for your time as well was mentioning these talks have been going on for a year there have been taliban attacks during that time it seems as though there was something significant in the pipeline because there was this meeting that was planned for camp david to do you think that the president was proportionate in his response to this latest attack. well i don't believe that this attack really is what has triggered his decision i think it's the accumulation as your previous

report indicated of criticism of this as simply embarrassment deal for the united states and certainly for our afghan partners this sense here is that much of what we really need there particularly in the way of residual intelligence and special operations units are now do we need as well a much more comprehensive cease fire and very importantly to see progress toilette the creation of a new government in interest and negotiations well they haven't even begun so committing ourselves to this kind of timeline of departure just seemed to a lot of people pretty good too immature or and yet also that there

is a real danger here. that the united states will have affectively left our allies very vulnerable at this point let me end though that i think that the chances are there to be renewed negotiations should not be ruled out at all the taleban actually would like to see further negotiations because they have done a normal sleep well and getting diplomatic recognition for their movement from this they've also been able to. they believe to marry together been military and diplomatic approaches sierra and to put themselves on a plan toward the creation of an emirate the united states as has often been pointed out here now in the united states there is an enormous for teach here over the war has been building and also the president has made such as they are

a real matter of the fact that he'd like to see american troops out before the election so i think that those forces together are going to it least lead to a tentative approach from both sides to see if they can't get it restarted but the united states certainly at this point and this listen recent development said it demonstrated this is going to have to see something in the way of a improvement on the terms of the agreement the taleban i should mention the same time are also constrained they've got to satisfy their commanders that they're not trading away these many years of military action or for simply a position fine positions in a in a price rough going to the government or in any government which retains the

present political system. given everything that you've said and i appreciate what day what you're saying about the the constraints that there are on the taliban negotiators as well as the expectations of the u.s. and its allies what can be done to encourage the taliban to reshape their position to be become more appealing if you like in a deal to the u.s. and the afghan government we have to recognize the taliban are very confident of their storage they have never been more confident they see themselves as having made considerable progress on the ground but they also as i mentioned they also see themselves now as being viewed as legitimate actives on the world stage as as an alternative perhaps even to the current government so it's going to be

difficult for them to make too much in the way of a compromise but are they may very well and soften their position particularly on a cease fire and on a willingness here to our form some kind to oust arrangement with meet with the afghans that would be able to give them a sense give a sense here that are this will not lead to an emirate it's going to be very difficult oh for them to do so because as we say we agree there are constraints on . marvin weinbaum we really appreciate your analysis of the situation thank you for joining us on al-jazeera i put it. day of protests that started peacefully in central hong kong has ended in more chaos that misstates has set barricades on fire blocked major roads and vandalized a metro station that earlier thousands marched peacefully to the u.s.

consulate there calling on congress to pass human rights legislation allowing sanctions to be imposed on hong kong leaders that have gopalan has this updates from hong kong. this is one of hong kong's main shopping districts usually a very busy place on a sunday night and as you can see it's been brought to a standstill with white police over you're blocking the roads they chased the protesters here from the financial district and tried to disperse them using tear gas among the shoppers and the crowds on a sunday night long long ago we saw people running with small children without any protection away from the tear gas so he said now up to us protesters here confronting the police will be are seeing as regular shoppers and regular people trying to confront the police off them why they're using such excessive force when there are people who have nothing to do with the protests this has been a constant or feign and this has been the next step in the protests that we are

seeing where people want police accountability for their actions this is in stark contrast to.
