because they still back him but at this poll 23 percent of republicans favored looking into this issue so that could spell trouble for the president in the long run the president also tweeted about deserving to meet his accuser firstly design even possible and secondly what more do we know about him that double trump and his recent tweets. ok for let's back up a little bit lindsey graham saying that you know the you didn't it was a blower didn't hear the conversation he admits that in his in his complaint he said but he's heard it from you know several white house officials the president's going on saying you know basically this whistleblower represented the conversation and totally inaccurate and fraudulent way it's just to be clear the whistleblower read out a conversation and the day before that this was released made public the white house released a basically a memo describing the call it was exactly like it's described in this complaint the other thing the president is saying that he as you mentioned deserves to meet his

accuser you've heard that from republicans that's not how this works the president is not like any american this isn't a criminal proceeding this is an impeachment inquiry there are whistleblower protections now it's washington and this this citizen this government worker likely in the intelligence community we believe he is arranging with his lawyers to speak in private with committee members behind closed doors now if the u.s. congress his identity is going to leak out and they're injured some are going to say it shouldn't because that could damage other whistleblowers and keep them from coming forward but it's highly likely that this name is going to leak out as far as the president deserving to meet his accuser no that's doesn't work this way the other thing is he said that. i'm sorry that he said that you know basically he wants to know what adam he wants represent them adam schiff to be

investigated he's the congressman leading the investigation he wants them looked into for fraud and treason this again is another norm that this president has steamrolled through it is not normal to call for the treason trial of a congressman because let's not forget treason can be met with the death penalty so the president according to his tweets really worked up to more twists and. in washington d.c. thank you very much just wait still ahead on al-jazeera. u.k. prime minister faces process a month just to his policies annual conference. and claims the sacred valley of the incas in peru is under threat from plans to build a new airport. hi

headlines inside story is next. the you know voter turnout in afghanistan's presidential election there were several attacks and some polling stations didn't even open so is the election credible and how will this affect attempts to end the year's long conflict with the taliban this is incites the arrow and welcome to the program back to the people of afghanistan have been through

a lot over the last 2 decades invasions wars corruption and the situation doesn't appear to be getting any better so when the time came on saturday to choose a new leader they had to decide if the risk was worth it the taliban had threatened to attack polling stations across the country and it appears many afghans felt the danger was simply not worth it the electoral commission estimates only 2000000 out of the 9000000 eligible voters cast the ballots 500 polling stations didn't even open and some of the new voting machines didn't work and despite the heightened security at least 5 people were killed in nearly 70 attacks we'll bring in our guests in just a moment but 1st this report from rob mcbride in kabul. what's becoming obvious now is that there was a very low turnout in this election questing severe doubts over its legitimacy now the afghanistan government is playing this up as

a success as you might expect saying that despite all the onus predictions of widespread violence throughout the country it was able to open something like 4 and a half 1000 polling stations nationwide and keep those polling stations open an extra couple of hours against all of the threats and violence from the taliban the afghan government says this is a legitimate election but what possibly kept voters away were threats of reprisals or punishment from the taliban also a widespread apathy just about the general state of affairs here in afghanistan whether this election would change anything such as the endemic problems such as corruption in some respects this election was the easier part now comes the harder part of actually deciding who will be the next president of afghanistan because of course we don't get an actual result back from this ballot until the beginning of november and unless there is an outright winner with 51 percent and amongst the 14

candidates that looks highly unlikely then they still have to go to a further runoff causing yet more disruption possibly and as people have argued while this election may lead to a new dawn and a permanent peaceful afghanistan there is always the danger that it makes a precarious situation worse rob mcbride for inside story. well previous elections were mobbed by accusations of fraud in 2014 abdul abdulla national afghani both claimed victory to end of a dispute the u.s. brokered a power sharing government with gandhi as president and abdullah as chief executive of ghana's sans next leader will have to deal with major security threats from the taliban the armed group has increased its attacks earlier this month there were hopes of a new deal with the u.s. for the withdrawal of foreign troops but president donald trump canceled the talks saying he doesn't believe the taliban wants peace the armed group has refused to hold direct talks with the afghan government

illinois or let's not introduce op panel joining us on skype from kabul mohammad yousuf rushy director at the free and fair election form of afghanistan in dublin also on skype michael semple professor at queen's university belfast who has negotiated with the taliban and also in kabul for him dashti chairman of the afghanistan national union of journalists welcome to you all thank you so much for being with us on inside story mohammed use a fresh sheet in kabul if i can start with you so unofficial figures for now but it looks like the historically low voter turnout in this afghan election what factors do you think contributed to this low voter turnout was it the taliban threat or the fatigue of repeated fraud elections thanks so much there are a number of factors the 1st. election that we have.

this year and also you had parliamentary election last also a 3rd. day or leave it not. did you did to disperse this started by if you are elections the whole movement all good yet trust the groups is also another effect or you had really bad experience of those in a team election and that was also another thing. another reason that affected the low turnout it's up all the i.c. the election commission decision they decided to withdraw from conducting provisional concert elections and the past we had rachael kohn selections attached to prison for the election and they were the candidates and the parisian about they were really about to work with the citizens with the waters to bring them to the polling process this time our presidential election candidates were not to believe it to have a brother come by and also

a significant presence in all just the country due to security issues and also the financial issues doubting about elections right that $32.00 result was about security and also the taliban traits that also affected and for women there was an election commission decision that they should take action at election. in some part of the country and some polling centers there was no presence or lack of famous stop that it should work specifically for female one stations i see so a number of factors and security and election fatigue being 2 of them famed dashti in kabul afghanistan new election commission had promised measures to ensure a cleaner vote but already between the candidates there are allegations of fraud and ballot stuffing how valid and credible was this election in your opinion and was this a left tainted vote than previous elections that afghanistan has experienced how

times i said that something on law to my colleagues is that a she says a fact as to is always there to the low turnout a yes or the position let's election of honest not then uncertainty between the peace negotiation and the. election even to. the war believing in afghanistan that the election could happen if you were expecting. of the election for a couple of months or even couple of years so people are not really to have election time so this was another factor but regarding your question as far as the turnout world law i think there is no law lots of play is forefront. so not normally if you have 5 to 6000000 vote

then there was a possibility of having to 3000000 votes but as we have our own moralist 2000000 votes there is no possibility of high fraud from the form of the other. reports or being shared with the front from the officers to the ordinary afghans there is no law big indications of fraud at least yet of course the. easy they have to check each and every void and then to release their report how many. would we have had. the allegations seems to be lighter than in 2014 election but however it's important to point out that it's still early days and things could change within the next few days of course michael in. says the election had already

been pushed back twice and came after the peace talks between the u.s. and taliban collapsed earlier this month there are those who believe that the vote should have been held after a negotiated peace deal between the u.s. and the afghan government and the taliban where you stand on that do you think that would have made a difference in the turnout figures for instance. yes i think the reality is that something like half the afghan population was dissent from chinese before they the polling started because there was no way that they could safely have gone to the had to the polls there was no way that you know election commission staff could have operated in their areas because the taliban weren't going to let them so you know they there was a push really over the past year to try and make progress on the peace process to create conditions in which they the taliban essentially and withdrew their

objection to elections. the taliban on board and allow an election in which all afghans would be enfranchised now unfortunately they the process anyway didn't make the kind of progress that we wanted there was no agreement on a ceasefire i believe they you know the taliban and the u.s. were perhaps further apart than it was acknowledged and then donald trump pulled the rug out from it so you have basically a afghan government was left with little alternative but to go ahead with right selection and every industry that's forced forced upon people right there the afghan government is framing this election as a success story that being able to hold an election in one of the most conflicts affected countries in the world is a success in itself but how useful michael do you think unhelpful is it to afghanistan moving along its path toward. the the jury is still out and i think it is they the current government may end up being

remembered as they the government which presided over the 1st free and fair election in afghanistan not be quite strange with a you know with it with a low turnout but i think it's very important to emphasize this i think that we're seeing a shift that they if they if the election commission applies its own rule. in they here. the weeks ahead then only votes which actually represent real afghans going and casting their ballot will be included and the tradition which grew up over the past 15 years of small teams of people stuffing boxes and getting those votes including the count that would be ended now that would be remarkable progress not so that possibly the government will be able to claim credit for a a free and fair election but they the peacemaking in afghanistan i believe is

actually going to take quite some time and i certainly believe that a. legitimate government which is able to unite the people who've been involved in this in the in the kabul focused political system is a sunni quandong for successful peacemaking they the taliban are probably still pushing to gain power right perhaps to reinforce their emirates only if they have a an effective negotiating partner in kabul will they be forced to to accept that only that compromise is the only way to end this war so the action is important but it will only work if it's possible to get a clean result in the days ahead mohammed yes a fresh let me get your thoughts on that michael says this could perhaps be the 1st free and fair election in afghanistan but what sort of my mandate does it give the winner if the turnout is so low. well basically i called in to our elections the low turnout or high turnout is not an issue for the legitimacy of the

election of course. if you have brother participation of the people it will be also it will increase the social. capacity political. aspects of the government and there will be more strings that if you have brought the prospects and at this stage we do not see any problem based on our election law and the legal framework as a as a challenge the legitimacy of elections do you agree with that. also in kabul do you think you know the fact that only a small protest percentage of the country will determine the democracy's fate is going to improve things or could it destabilize things even more rather than leading to some sort of long term peace agreement for afghanistan. oh well i think . i fully support what mr sheets say the world the legal status of low 3rd out or i

turn out in our electoral law but of course if the turnout is high the government will be more stronger in a village a to me sea level rise up and if it's law of course there are there will be always a critics on the garmin that the president just succeed with having a 1000000 or voice or are something like that but the defacto is that if they be as clean as it was mentioned by our colleague in dublin. that that bring. a tremendous change in our electoral system in that to an end to a government which came in the poor for the 1st time in the last it in years with the clean votes of afghans this milby this will be

a significant issue for the upcoming political events were going to see do you think we're going to see for him every people of 2014 when you know neither candidate got the 50 percent needed to win in the 1st round and that there's going to be a runoff that could lead to a prolonged crisis political crisis as we saw back in 2014. if the difference between the votes of the 2 condit is something about 8 to 10 per cent then. it will be accepted by the other side but if there is a difference of 3 to 4 to 5 percent of the void between the 2 front runners of course we can expect that none of them will. solve the election in we may go to the 2nd round which will make a crisis which could make

a political crisis for for us yeah michael simple how do you see then i mean it's early days obviously we don't know what the results are but how do you see the situation developing ashraf ghani the 2 front runners ashraf ghani and abdullah have shared power since 2014 in a compromise which was negotiated by the former u.s. secretary of state john kerry if there is deadlock again do you see the american stepping in or will the afghans have to sort it out themselves this time round. yes it is a really critical question because you know i think it's it's clear that the united states is getting tired of its role in afghanistan if there is some good news if there's some progress i think that they will persist but a political crisis a particularly something which led to some real you know civil disturbances would tip the balance in the us against continuing to assist off on this town so it's important they resolve this coming to the issue of they know whether there will be

a 2nd round or not and this is down to they refer to that what i what i was able to pick up from the early results coming in is that it does look like a 2 horse race that they the minor candidates only seem to have picked up really a ask uttering of votes and so most of the votes are going to the 2 lead counted as and increases the increases the chances that one of them will claim a 1st round victory so i think that now it's looking that way that this will be decided on the 1st round rather than the 2nd round and this is also where they the work which has been put in to try and overhaul the electoral machinery it is absolutely important i mean something we should mention which might come as a shock for some of the viewers that most of the election commissioners who are responsible for the parliamentary election held last autumn. are not in jail right they have been jailed for their misconduct in that election they what we have in

this presidential election but we didn't have previously what is 1st of all biometric machines which is to verify that there are real voters rather than just a roomful of people stuffing stuffing boxes and we also have a an electoral roll as an additional check things which did not exist in 2014 so yes these elections are going to be are going to be closely contested i'm sure that both of they. the 2 leading candidates and their teams believe that they have won they will contest it basically results sheet by results sheet but the election commission if they apply their rules in a far better position than 2014 to give a clean result that they will be able to back up with the evidence so i mean i very much hope that afghans will be spared the agony of protest dispute and us mediation right out which in the end which in the end of course does help to undermine the legitimacy of the resulting government let's hope the afghan votes

alone and the application of the election laws are sufficient to give a clear winner monotheists a fresh head in kabul michael says he thinks this election will be decided in the 1st round do you agree with that. oh well as still not very clear according to our reports and mission b.c. that the 2 leading candidates they have dead wards in different parts of the county in some parts of country one and another part another one you have the majority do you see the majority of wards but it's also a would be to mention that. get us some other candidate effect at the edwards. it is about that they should 1st announce the. total number of participants that the parts but in this elections we still don't know about the number of voters they did about spitted in our elections and also the need to

follow that. and i c's database and technical steps. might based on my decided to. move clarity at the shot in a short time to know who would be the winner at night and it would be that exact results were in the 1st but there is a possibility of that out of perhaps ok let's look at the bigger picture now if we can frame dashti you know that was unprecedented progress as we said earlier this month was a negotiated end to the war with the taliban and the americans and taliban negotiating but of course that collapse before the election where does this vote that happened on saturday leave that process now. well i think. all sides which are involved in of on a stand. particular of the afghan government or live on their supporters is you know supporters and those countries for supporting the government of on

a sunday are vision. to a point that. there should be end of the war but how in u.n. . just these are the questions of course the negotiation was starved because of various reasons but us soon as we have the new government i believe that that negotiation. vive. and as ours as you're going to have the in legitimate government that going to make things easier because previously the taliban or their excuse was that they will not negotiate with the government which will last only for a couple of months. so then if if if the negotiation will be revived then we gonna have a legitimate government for another 5 years which could ease the negotiation with

all of one in of course where there are supporters of regional supporters in the. global supporters of the afghan government michael do you think any new afghan government after this nicholas year after this election will be able to negotiate in a stronger position is peace with the taliban still possible. it is still possible it is necessary i think that afghans on both sides of the conflict have decided that now is the time i suspect that they the taliban will try to to hold out for a while longer voiding meaningful negotiations with the afghan government and i think that's where are they the success of this election's written really matters. a strong a strong government which is able to give effect of leadership to its security forces which is able to make a credible offer to the the taliban of getting them on board. and accommodating

some legitimate grievances of the of the taliban and also which is which is able to to demonstrate that it can keep the country together even during a period of the us withdrawal then i think that eventually maybe not in one week maybe not in one month maybe it will take time they will get the taliban to the negotiating table and we'll achieve a settlement but it's difficult to it's difficult to stress enough just how important having a legitimate and effective government in kabul is to moving this peace process forward what about the negotiations between the americans and the taliban and the withdrawal of foreign troops enough in afghanistan way does that go after the selection. well mike i think i've a personal take on this i think that those talks have actually gone as far as they were ever going to go that every child in afghanistan knows that united states is

keen to withdraw its troops from afghanistan as soon as can be done responsibly and that they only have provisions and conditions they have and is that the security should be assured in their wake i really don't see much purpose in any further negotiations between the and the taliban and the and the us they'll be only going over an old old affairs the issue is getting the taliban and the hero and the afghan government to the negotiating table so they can talk about today how afghans can work together to rebuild their country that's the real issue that's the the u.s. is a sideshow all right thank you so much for that i needed them shall be speaking to you again often in the next few days when the election results come in thank you very much mamadou so fresh michael semple and for whole team and thank you as well for watching you can watch this program again any time by visiting our website at
