jumps on stories we don't take the misinformation from the journalism it's about telling the stories of those human beings i think with the listening post on al-jazeera. the taliban says it's willing to restart peace talks with the u.s. as president trump tells troops in afghanistan he thinks the group is ready to strike a deal. this is al jazeera live also coming up hoping to raise traces of ousted president. will forward. to dissolve his body and dismantle his regime. a new political era of why as

a cease fire they wanted to cease fire but now they do want to do is use fire i believe it is probably work and there were times admission their meeting with the taliban comes after the president abruptly broke off talks in september following the killing of a u.s. soldier in a bombing claimed by the taliban talks had been making progress up until then the taliban has confirmed to al jazeera that some meetings have been taking place to pave the way for the resumption of talks the group also recently released 2 western hostages and 10 afghan soldiers in exchange for 3 of its senior leaders but officials say there's still no sign the taliban is ready to give up its weapons in exchange for a role in afghan politics demilitarization is a key demand from afghan president ashraf ghani but he's been sidelined while u.s. and taliban negotiators meet still ghani joint tromp on stage by graham air base and tweeted out highlights of the moment apparently keen to show he is relevant in

the peace process for donald trump the priority is cutting down the number of u.s. troops in afghanistan from about 13000 to just over 8000 and to help the afghans handle their own security we're bringing you down very substantially. will be down in a number that's very that's a good number and we're going to stay until such time as we have a deal or we have total victory and they want to make it go over it's been 18 years since the u.s. launched its war in afghanistan pushing the taliban out of power the irony not lost that almost 2 decades on both sides in our negotiating an end to the fighting and if a deal can be struck it will more than likely see the taliban return to play a part in ruling afghanistan stephanie decker al-jazeera. is a republican strategist and political analyst and she believes the taliban sees the truck presidency as an opportunity to strike a deal with the u.s. . i think the taliban understand that this president is

a very unconventional president and that things in washington are not just chaotic but often evil to be rule the forms of us aside you're able to be written almost overnight and that's that's how i think expect your i don't think that they lost confidence that they can get somewhere and present chum but i think this that represents a moment frankly this this this announcement by the president of reopening these talks about immigrants unity and i think that there are there are people who are part of a republican of south of the class here in washington and they're pretty angry because they were pretty angry when it was announced the president wanted to break the taliban members over to get a better so there are people here we're going to be critical of the president about what the taliban sort of seasons as a window of entry and they're also going to operate i believe of this main rules that our president is let's just put anything out there and see what sticks i think

you know all that sort of sounds from the fact that this president has been genuinely interested in our military operation since before he even launched his campaign and throughout his campaign he took office we've seen but he doesn't care to want to understand how certain things are really done and he said just once in criticizing previous administrations says that on the street he was able to get anything done so leave it to a guy like me who the business deal maker and let me try to get something done i think that's exactly what he's operating with right now is a sense that people who were blessed him because he comes from another sector and could perhaps bring that expertise to deal making saddam's transitional government has approved a law as you dismantle the party of former president bashir he was forced out of office last year the prime minister says the decision was not an act of revenge but i am still preserve the dignity of the sudanese people even morgan reports from cotton. it was once the dominant party in sudan ruling the country for more than

peace with itself for decades divided the walls and fences separating the 2 communities remain it's like a patient never quite sure if they're recovering from a terminal illness but now they have something in common the irish republican side of belfast always hated rex it's the pro british side though supported it until boris johnson came along with a plan to partly divide the northern irish economy from the rest of the u.k. with the trade board in the sea his former allies here see that as a betrayal of the foundation of the united kingdom people are very angry about it people are do not support what he is proposing certainly i think he has underestimated the strength of feeling across unionism in northern ireland where you know we fairly clearly and people on the bryan ferry really cherish being part of this united kingdom being a full part of the united kingdom and if that's what your friends think then what about your enemies this neighborhood of belfast has no murals no symbols of the sectarian divide it is middle class and successful and doesn't like bricks it's in
