welcome back you're watching out just. headlines the prime minister bars johnson is meeting with his irish counterpart in dublin top of the agenda the irish. and irish prime minister says he doesn't expect any breakthrough in talks. lebanese armed group says it shot down an israeli drone outside the border town of its fight and say they have the aircraft israel and has blogs change fire along the lebanese border just over a week ago russia's ruling party appears to have lost a 3rd of seats in moscow's regional parliament but it still holds a majority vote lead to some of the largest protests in russia and years after
6:03 pm
dozens of opposition candidates were banned. now the taliban says the u.s. has the most to lose after president donald trump cancel the meeting with the group in the united states u.s. special envoy. has also been recalled he'd been negotiating with the taliban and carter for nearly a year the afghan government says peace will only be possible if the taliban stops killing people and holds talks with the country's leaders tony burke the reports from kabul. president trump's early morning tweet canceling the meeting with the taliban surprised many including the afghan government but it has actually welcomed the decision the main goal of our piece is is a ceasefire and indicted negotiation with the taliban so these 2 components are very important. the taliban refuses to talk directly with the afghan government who
6:04 pm
she regards as illegitimate and corrupt but it did agree to negotiate with the u.s. these forces invaded afghanistan 18 years ago after the 911 attacks on america there have been 9 rounds of talks it's october last year but during that time taliban fighters have carried out numerous attacks and suicide bombings and america has also continued its air campaign which is hit the taliban but this year has also caused the biggest number of civilian casualties the latest taliban bombing was in kabul last thursday in which 12 people were killed including an american soldier 2 days later the u.s. president in a tweet ditched what he said was going to be a secret meeting at camp david even as the taliban was claiming responsibility for thursday's attack zalmay khalilzad the u.s. chief negotiator was on his way to katter for further talks that were later described as positive but the afghan government said the talks gave the taliban recognition the taliban has responded angrily to trump canceling the talks in
6:05 pm
a statement released on its website they said the agreement was finalized on saturday both sides agreed to all points they talked about intra afghan talks to begin on september the 23rd but warned that their struggle will continue and the u.s. would suffer more the u.s. has been criticized for offering the taliban too much for raising fears that the country could descend into civil war once the bulk of american forces withdraw if there is a new agreement between the problem in the united states government about the role of the party foreign forces. that will be devoid of worth to not only put up can stand that would be good for the world situation part of that region and the international community and that is something that troubles many afghans all of our growing as we know the taliban is not trustworthy and they do whatever they want and they misuse islamic laws and or to refine the way this country won't be better with them in the government. we are free of the taliban
6:06 pm
come out not only will women's rights be violated but also all human rights. all sides appear to agree that militarily they can be no winner in this conflict but also achieving a lasting peace is not going to be easy either where this leaves the peace process is anyone's guess it depends largely on what the taliban chooses to do next either escalate the violence or return to the negotiating table in a different frame of mind afghanistan waits to see which one it will be tony berkeley al jazeera kabul. now for more on this we're joined by national security analyst habeeb water back in kabul good to have you with us 1st of all let me start with the question of why why do you think the u.s. president donald trump decided to cancel the peace talks which by many accounts seemed so close. well 1st of all
6:07 pm
let me say this is very unfortunate this is very unfortunate for the united states for the afghan government for the taliban and the african people at large now the reasons that led to the cancellation of this process slash talks could be many my assumption is that it did not have to do with the killing of the u.s. soldier in call but a few days earlier due to a suicide attack we have had 2 soldiers who would could have did not to have gone to stand just 2 weeks ago and nothing happened mind you when when we are going into peace process we are not talking about ceasefire so all sides will carrying on with demanded teddie activities they were taking on each other but what let president trump do to concert it last moment was a i think it's because of the lack of consensus and washington d.c. as national security adviser was not was not on board he clearly dejected senators such as done rejected it and you had other opposition within the united
6:08 pm
states who will close to president trying object to the idea of going into negotiations and signing an agreement with the taliban so that's number one number 2 was that. the taliban were asked to go and meet president trump in the united states who signed a peace deal and i think the taliban was a little different they were like we will sign the agreement 1st in a neutral venue and then we will we will not mind traveling to the united states whereas for president trump he wanted to personally sort of sign that agreement then and help his ratings because there are very short of the 20 twentieth's actions as well that basically oblige him by what he had promised to the united states and last but not least is this whole issue of commitment versus delivery the african governments as a vision was the united states there's a vision was that we can just sign an agreement based on commitment there has to be something. of delivery as well which is not true thank you can't have delivery
6:09 pm
unless you commit to opposing party to something so that these are the treaties of that i think led to the cancellation of these peace talks and very last moment if it's partly due to some conflicting positions domestically within the us what options does that leave the us when do you think a unilateral withdrawal is on the table so drug what cannot happen because john bolton said that we cannot withdraw a lenticular i'm saying that we cannot withdraw because done on his son will be a threat to the american security again but what i'm looking at is an intensified conflict. the there are still hawks in the u.s. is to believe that they can team this insurgency in afghanistan with military pressure which is not true i mean look at it in 2009 what we have had was the obama
6:10 pm
surge we had $150000.00 plus u.s. troops on the ground and we still had the insurgency intensify and it was not claimed i think sooner or later we would have all of the parties coming back to negotiating table i mean the taliban in the united states coming to the negotiating table because there is no way out militarily yes military forces military technology satellites copters troops what they can do is they can contain insurgency had in that but it will never be able to eradicate in taman up root insurgency in afghanistan the sooner they come back to negotiating table i think it will be for the interest of the taliban would be for the interest of the united states for the afghan government the afghan people did regional security and the more we we postpone it the more we are going to have intensified insurgency we're going to have civilian casualties and africans will pay the price for major part of
6:11 pm
it. more i will leave it there for now thanks so much for your analysis on but what of the uk the us says it's delivered enough emergency supplies for 44000 people to hurrican dorrian hit the bahamas but the u.n. says 70000 need food and shelter dition zone the worst affected islands are deteriorating the horror can flatten neighborhoods destroyed here is roads and runways making it difficult to distribute aid. i had a chance earlier today to tour the damage from the year in arbuckle and what i was struck by was. the the focus nature of the devastation so there are parts of our baco in the bahamas that don't show a great deal of damage and then there are classes in communities that were devastated almost as though nuclear bombs were dropped on them that the suffering

6:48 pm
business updates brought to you by qatar airways going places together. of all on this is 0. this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. under pressure over his briggs's strategy u.k. prime minister boris johnson makes a dash to ireland before a new push for an early election. humanitarian aid convoy is attacked in. a
6:49 pm
state of emergency is imposed in half the country. devastation as bad as a nuclear bomb in aid agencies describe the state of the bahamas. and sport rafa nadal wins a u.s. dramatic style the spaniard. counts to an epic 5 sat thriller to win his 19 grand slam title. the u.k. prime minister boris johnson is facing what could be his most challenging days so far as he tries to find a way out to the european union he's right now in talks in the irish capital over how the border between the countries might work after briggs it then is straight back to london and into parliament where he's likely to try again to push for an early election because we must get breaks it down because the u.k.
6:50 pm
must come out on october 31st by october 31st or else i feel that permanent damage will be done in the u.k. to trust in our democratic system and i do that breaks it was not to be perfectly frank a problem a conundrum that wishful. and i think there are certainly questions that we need to resolve. a lot of play is live for us at the u.k. parliament so. british prime minister was mostly sounding upbeat there about his ability to get a deal done and to resolve the thorny question of the irish border but as always the devil will be in the details. yes yes that's exactly the point and the main charge against boris johnson plainly is for all his fur fabrics
6:51 pm
it's you know he's insisting that it has to be done to support a personal crisis of legitimacy among the electorates and they say he doesn't want to do no deal he's only got 6 weeks or to think of something else and for all his charm and communication skills he can't say how he intends to do it and yet again this morning ready there in dublin he couldn't say how he said he had ideas but he wouldn't say what they were let's just kind of him who used to have a press for the conservative party ends and david cameron you think you could do this was a media training i mean he but he said he's obviously a fantastic communicates a but. wacko how he's going to do is i think there's 2 things here say father the whole negotiating strategy on the trees may played out in public and that was very bad and you want to keep your cards close to your chest and that's what bars did let's look at a wider context if you're its national audience we're heading towards a general election probably not sorry but an event and he's working through that prism i think actually the way the government looking at it is if you look at the
6:52 pm
focus groups how they're polling with the public when you get out price points not a lot of people behind bars in the way he's going to frame says look i try to are trying to keep my promise paul and stop me therefore i was forced to go to an election with the problem that the conservatives have the longer this goes on the longer the labor party stop holding election if it goes instead of mbox the harder it is from to get a majority what what what what breaks it does you won't see says he doesn't want no deal rexus and he doesn't want to reason is brecht's exactly what breaks it does did do you think he wants that he can sense that it's and i think that that the sticking point here is the stop and tell you that hasn't been a care all sarong there is some i suspect there are quite a few tory m.p.'s inside parliament which to have voted for 2 reasons in a situation where they don't get threats at all but so and so what does he do when he comes back here this afternoon he loses the votes again on having an election in october was it do that as a resigned as he just has been planted on the spot you know it possibly could for the resign could probably parliament i think the way they're going for this is that it's going to continue to push on the domestic agenda but they do need an election sooner all the lace and i think the optics of this is you're looking at the longer
6:53 pm
it goes on given he's got what minus 40 majorities is dangerous looking like a lame duck minister i think also internationally there's a huge opportunity cost being played out here because the law firms will not be investing they'll be holding back and say the economy will potentially suffer here is going to come a point maybe of the european council when that's not just the french but another couple of countries the dutch in the area as well just saying look even if you can't tell us at all what it is that you wants which is just go and leave and leave us alone because we just i mean that was reported in the weekend i think that there was a sense of french were heading that way and i was you know they don't want to make this easy for the british they haven't. made it easy for the british and it is can't be pain free because they want other people to leave so yeah this whole process has been paying for and anyone who thinks it's going to be a pain free press is going to head in the clouds to tell you think in the end it might just be a lot simpler for everybody if the conservative policy as the government manages to decide inside itself what it thinks breaks it actually means because it wasn't clear when the referendum happened and then just say to the people that this is it
6:54 pm
we have another referendum is it this is the best so that we were talking about even then we'll tell you the time to fancy it all gentle and then just put it out to the people again potentially buy things this text it's not about a pain like when does that happen how long does it vary for as you can for suppose you get into a 5248 snorer the other way round people vote to stay do you run another referendum again and let's be quite frank apartment parties on the ice which you know is an ongoing problem which has been haunting the tory party for years and you will find when you still have a david cameron you think he regrets haven't even let this month start of the battle i mean he stood on a manifesto in 2050 saying is going to have a referendum on your the people voted for it he gave the people a referendum he said i don't think it's a good idea but the people ultimately very good for it he said of his care large could have accepted democratic with the people could remember what the british public want sorry i was about the parliament has delivered on that ok thanks ever so much for let's. what the british people once though who have say for what what
6:55 pm
it is that they that they think they would still stand still seems pretty unclear which is going around and around and around. all riflemen loss lee live for us there in london. 2 separate attacks on convoys in sasso have killed at least 29 people a state of emergency is already in place in 7 of the 13 regions that make up the west african nation catherine sawyer is live for us in. so so careful in what more do we know about these attacks. the government has a really issued a statement damning this attacks 29 people as you mentioned have been killed in death talks in the north on the road that leads to the bullet with miley and one of the attacks really happened to an area we were filming a few days ago was being told by police sources that when we left that area people came to
