thank you for joining us the u.s. and afghan taliban have signed a preliminary deal that could eventually end america's longest running war it's the result of 18 months of talks but there's still a long way to go before peace returns to afghanistan the 1st stage of the agreement means that there should be a $135.00 day period of what's called a meaningful reduction in violence that 1st stage also includes the exchange of about $6000.00 prisoners the deal is being described as a precursor to a peace agreement between the warring sides within afghanistan it's hoped it will lead to talks between the taliban and the government in kabul as well as the withdrawal of foreign troops well some of the reports. we destroy a new chapter move opened for afghanistan the united states has agreed on

a deal that could see the complete withdrawal of its troops from its longest running war in the next 14 months. we recognize america should fight in perpetuity in the graveyard of empires if we can help afghans forge peace and we have respect we believe that the afghan people are ready to shirk their own course forward. for the past 18 months the taliban and the u.s. government have been negotiating in cutter finally agreeing on a plan aimed at cementing a permanent peace as part of the deal the taliban will not allow god is found to be used by al qaida and it will continue to fight against isis and. the 7 day reduction of violence last week with a test for them now comes a test for the us commitment it must facilitate the release of 5000 taliban prisoners in a matter of days. we are committed to the supreme and to

a force that the afghan nation has been suffering for the past 4 decades 'd we have suffered tremendously and i hope that with the withdrawal of all foreign forces from afghanistan that the afghan nation under the islamist government will embark on a new prosperous life while the deal was signed in doha a ceremony was also taking place in the afghan capital of kabul u.s. secretary of defense and nato chief satloff president if government wasn't part of the negotiations and the still doesn't recognize that what under the us taliban deal the afghan government asked the un security council to lift sanctions on the taliban our agenda for discussion with the taliban be be wider than their discussions with the united states they should be ready to discuss their relationship with their state and non states sponsors a verifiable system for cutting off their ties with all transnational terrorist groups their dependence and involvement of the narcotics and other transnational

criminal organizations positivity the foreign minister from neighboring pakistan with longstanding ties to the taliban was in doha for the signing we have nothing to hide. there transcribing. the open so. far as. being a positive contribution to the positive. there was a big contingent of. support for the deal they say it will do you. good. that. today is a huge historic day a similar day like today was celebrated by and this is a century ago after defeating the brits and then 30 years ago for defeating the soviets today we witness our leadership signing a withdrawal deal of occupying american forces and victory deal of our holy warriors. the us government says victory will be achieved when the afghan people live with no fear informed forces are not afraid of attacks they said this was history in the making

a real chance for lasting peace in afghanistan and the signing is a stepping stone towards it but all parties to the conflict realize that the real work for lasting peace in the goddess don has just begun osama bin job and others they are. well shafiq comedown is the former advisor to nato senior civilian representative in afghanistan he says there is nothing in the deal which suggests the taliban is committed to democracy and human rights in afghanistan. i don't think yes there is any promise of yes not any kind of assurance and this d. the basic human rights and woman rights good governance democracy will be distracted by the taliban and need to have the major concern in this text however the united states does not recognize that islamic emirate of afghanistan the day to are the entire fixed taliban it is an absurd as the islamic emirates are. and also

deal conclusion says that their relationship of the united states which is nomics sort of cooperation and deconstruction will be established in the future government . which was result of that in shock and die out so there is a kind of uncertain it's he as well that there is not any kind of assurance for this. invention alliance and the united states has sacrificed so much so that that another other mention before this is like a legal consent that the text does not really touch on very dear and critical values of the people and their international partners. turkey's president says russia should stay out of its fight with syria russia type out of the one attend that the 1st funerals of the 34 turkish soldiers killed in

a warm day in melbourne 32 degrees celsius but once that rain pushes in the cooler air comes on and we have got a drop of just 18 but as you can see elsewhere not a bad day but apart from northern sections of western australia this rain very heavy at times and the pattern on the forecast track it could actually had very close to alice springs such leaving some cloud there as we had 3 monday a warm damp earth 29 degrees celsius one or 2 shows as you can see here into the northern sections of the south australia tend to rain showers across areas of china in particular quite a line of heavy rain which begins to or continues really to push south on sunday but by monday another system developing through the interior that will work its way further east with care and dry across the korean peninsula and in seoul with a high of 8. in 2011 al-jazeera reported from tanzania on the sinister trade in the body parts of albion. this is where the. right and all

the spot rewind revisits a survivor. mutilated to service the rituals of witchcraft. rewind spell of the albion on al-jazeera. the the earth. a reminder now of the top stories on al-jazeera the u.s. and afghan taliban have signed the preliminary deal that could eventually end america's longest running war it's the result of 18 months of talks but there's still a long way to go before peace returns to afghanistan the deal was signed at

a ceremony in captors capital doha. for the u.s. taliban agreement has brought cautious relief in afghanistan itself many people are pleased that a deal has been reached but there is concern that foreign troops withdrawing i don't allow the taliban to regain power and turkey's president says russia should stay out of its fight with syria pressure type area one attended the 1st funerals of the 34 turkish soldiers killed in airstrikes on italy province on thursday. voting is underway in south carolina's democratic primary and the last ballot ahead of the crucial super tuesday primaries it's the 1st primary in the south and the 1st for african-american voters play a pivotal role nearly 2 thirds of democratic primary voters in south carolina are black and the voting bloc strongly supports joe biden the frontrunner bernie

sanders has been gaining on him in the polls analysts say that this is a make or break moment for biden's campaign the other candidates and there they are they are elizabeth warren peter buddha judge amy close tom steyer and toll seagal barred are also help also hoping for a strong finish to stay competitive for super tuesday. which is just in a couple of days and that's when mike bloomberg will 1st appear on ballots alongside them in 14 states plus american samoa which will all vote on the same day it's going to and the gallagher in columbia south carolina and so on and the joe biden has always seemed at least that the beginning the man who could defeat donald trump his performance hasn't been a stellar as you might have hoped how crucial is it that he wins tonight. i mean it's extremely crucial people are calling this joe biden's last stand remember he lost in new hampshire lost in nevada he lost in iowa despite leading in

the polls nationally just a few months ago so it's not a question of whether joe biden can win here in south carolina it's a question of how big can that when they all the polls indicate that joe biden is the favorite some have bernie sanders within the margin of error that's how close the senator from vermont has got but joe biden has a long history with this state particularly with its african-american voters that make up 60 percent of all democratic voters he got a big endorsement on wednesday from the leading black politician in this state long considered the godfather of politics in south carolina so that may have just been the boost that he needs but if joe biden wins and beats bernie sanders by one or 2 points he will claim victory but you have to look at the bigger picture here on chews day 14 of the states in an outlying territory vote that will make up 38 percent of all the delegates places like california and texas and bernie sanders is doing better in those states so there is a lot at stake here for the former vice president he needs to win but he needs to

win big to keep his campaign alive bernie sanders has a much better ground game in all these other places tom stires been spending a fortune in this state really eating into that african-american vote and chewing away at biden's once very commanding lead so a victory here tonight would be good for biden a big victory would be even better interesting to see if he manages it and gallagher with the latest there from south carolina thank you. now he's here he has rejected a draft agreement introduced by the us concerning a major dam on the nile river the suburb usses the grandees he'll be in when a sense that it is essential to its development that egypt is worried about the dams effect on irrigation and drinking water is he'll be a boycott of talks in washington and says it is disappointed by u.s. efforts to resolve the dispute egypt has already signed washington's agreement which covers the filling and operation of the dam or mohamed vallas in but here
