conflict of understand finally has a shot at peace. this is a former of the minister whose government's been fighting the taliban and here is the co-founder of the taliban still a potent fighting force once on enemies they sit in the same room facing each other for the 1st time since the start of the nearly 2 decades long afghan war follows a fruit we want all the people of afghanistan to be reunited under one roof again after more than 42 years of upheavals aggressions jihad and resistance all the negatives we all know what happened to us throughout these years and where we stand today we now need to address this unique opportunity to move towards a new future that we can defy together it took months to initiate the interest of gun dialogue the taliban insisted on the release of 5000 prisoners before talks could begin and in turn released 1000 afghan government detainees. their protests we have acted accordingly to all the points outlined in the previous agreement and

we are requesting the other side to act accordingly to those things that have been agreed to so we can have this process without any problems ahead we want of understand to be an independent developed country and it should have a form of islamic system where all its citizens see themselves reflected. in february the us government agreed to pull out its troops from afghanistan provided the taliban guarantee to halt attacks against the u.s. and its allies as the end of the longest running u.s. war nears leaders want to remind allies they will not be left behind each of you i hope you will look inside your heart. each of you carry a great responsibility. but no no that you're not. the entire world wants you to succeed and if counting on you succeeding since the us agreement was signed in february thousands of people have been killed in fighting between taliban forces and the afghan government major issues such as the taliban's insistence on an

islamic emirate and position on the rights of women and the constitution need to be resolved if the road to achieve intra of gone dialogue was hard getting results out of it is going to be even harder both the afghan government delegation as well as the delegation being led by the taliban need to make compromises both sides agree that they are willing to make those compromises the weeks and days ahead are going to determine whether it's going to be successful some of. the former u.k. ambassador to afghanistan william patey spoke to us a little bit earlier on it he said there is a realisation on both sides that there can be no military solution. over the last decade there have been you know different times when the taliban were weak the government was stronger if every side thinks that they can force the will of the other there will be nor there will be no peace i think after 40 years of war hopefully all sites are going to start have come to the same conclusion that normal

pruett prevail through military means the government of afghanistan the people are going to stand except that the taliban have a role to play in in the future of afghanistan is to have peace but that can't be an adult minute rule to the exclusion of everyone else my worry is that the americans are in too much of a hurry and want to quit results before the elections in november but i don't think that's a toll likely. to be important to maintain the negotiations not to be too fretful lists progress is not made immediately but that the talks continue there's a proper structure to the talks and they're both sides committed to the seriously he well that sector general and take a terrorist says that it's critical afghan women are also properly represented in these talks and whose east peace process in which women use and victims of comfort

trump's nominee to run the ideal be latin america's most important financing institution has divided the region and angered many countries who say that the white house has violated 60 years of tradition when it was founded in 1959 u.s. president like the eisenhower promised it would always be led by and that no american and it always has until now president trump wants a trusted advisor or got any to help offset chinese economic influence in the region just as latin america is projected to suffer the worst economic impact from the pandemic of any region in the world that people know about me is that they can knock on my door with agreement or disagreement on very honest i'm very straightforward i'm not shocked. but many countries including u.s. allies like chile called for the vote to be perspire and until after the pandemic a euphemism for after the us election yet in the end the white house one albeit

without the usual consensus former chilean foreign minister and ambassador to the u.s. this calls it a great defeat for the id be it has been very explicit that this decision is a decision forged in order to confront china and to create and to use the bank in the confrontation between the united states and china and secondly that. the bank has not been able to debate and discuss among its governors what it will the rule of the bank be in the middle of the worst graces that you have a guy has. expedience. great british. for decades the bank has played a key role in a region that has little access to international capital markets its finances infrastructure and social development projects which will now be more vital than ever unlike his predecessors clever got on is better known as a politician and

a lawyer than as an economist as the top latin american advisor on the u.s. national security council the cuban american has been one of the architects of the white house's antigun israela in cuba policies yet his election is being seen less as a victory for the white house that there's a defeat for latin american consensus you see in human al-jazeera sunday out now to prove the country's parliament has voted to start impeachment proceedings to remove president martin vest carra is accused of interfering in a corruption investigation the president says the move is a political one and he's being backed by at least one wild wide anti corruption organization sanchez has more from lima. opposition lawmakers are calling for the ouster of president the beast gotta on the grounds of moral incapacity of the moment you discover a is

investigation but that doesn't imply that they should oust him we reject impeachment the case has been put together under dubious constitutional criteria and it's driven by private interests that want to stir chaos and that could have a very dangerous outcome. 7 months before the next general election and with the worst health and economic crisis in more than 100 years peruvian say they are furious the government now has to deal with a political crisis. more than 30000 peruvians have died in the pandemic and the economy is in a recession and many peruvian say enough is enough leverage the capital and proven politics is trash they look for their own benefits and don't think about us if you've lost so much in this pandemic it's not fair that we have to deal with this. this is a political circus i don't justify this kara but the legislators are sinking the
