12:02 am
happened just hours before the u.s. secretary of state might pay 0, was due to hold talks with the afghan government and taliban negotiators in cata, united states this week said it would soon pull about 2000 troops out of afghanistan for your country, for you. reports now from the afghan capital kabul, the schoolgirls running for their lives, after a rocket lands near their school, part of a coordinated attack on the capital. kabul of the, of the more than 20 rockets landed in residential areas near the green zone, where many embassies are based. it was a little after 8. 30 in the morning when the 1st rocket landed in the afghan capital for the next 10 minutes. it felt like kabul was under attack. witnesses say the attack during the morning rush hour was timed to cause maximum damage. so what they got was morning and we were leaving our home when an explosion happened 2
12:03 am
of my sisters and my mother wounded. so we took them to hospital, i want to call it the way it was around 9 am. rockets hit the bakery wounding an employee who needed hospital treatment. lots of shopkeepers are going to suffer financially because of this. i still has claimed responsibility for the attack. it came just hours before the u.s. secretary of state mike arrived in qatar is capital doha. he's talking to both afghan government and taliban negotiators. involved in peace talks there. it shows richie's and security, but it just pressed yes again. so that the sort of weaponry gets into the city. and secondly, it's part of a trend where greater violence in the suits is mainly assassinations. martin, it's all caught on even at a time of trouble and said that they won't be launching attacks on incentives.
12:04 am
i know has been behind recent attacks in the capital gunmen stormed university 3 weeks ago. at least 22 people were killed. and the government says in saturday's attack, fighters fired the rockets from the back of 2 trucks. it's investigating how the vehicles managed to enter the city undetected, posing more questions about the government's ability to keep the capital city secure. contrary, i'll just say of kabul al-jazeera, stephanie deca brings us more now from the state of cattle. talks with the afghan government and taliban negotiate this. my pompei are wrapped up saturday with meeting the taliban delegation involved in intra afghan talks yet met an hour earlier with the afghan government delegation. these are talks that were rated back in september. the u.s. secretary of state where he was here for that as well. but it's been
12:05 am
a difficult process moving forward, the told still stuck on the technicalities of what kind of islamic nor will govern the govern the framework of these 2. i think the message certainly for my pompei will be that they are keen to get the 2 sides to sit down to really get to the difficult issues when it comes to a long lasting cease fire and a power sharing agreement between the 2 sides. of course you also met the path or is it me or he had a lunch with him and also met with the deputy prime minister to be discussed issues like iran. this is a ministration that's been very much an anti iran. and a cutter is a country that has very good relations with iran. it's also one of the issues when it comes to the gulf blockade the blockade in countries demanding that qatar cuts ties with iran, something they have so far, refused to do. this is also administration that has said it wanted to perhaps get some movement on the lifting of the blockade that certainly at the moment has and happens not to the full extent anyway. and of course, also in a way pump a oh,
12:06 am
of course, and u.s. president donald trump not having conceded defeat, but patters emir has already called the president joe biden, to congratulate him on his way. well, joining us now by skype is a form afghan ambassador to canada and france. thank you for taking the time to join to speak to us the taliban. and i still have both spoken now about the attack in kabul. what is your view of these claims? well, i think it's very difficult to tell exactly who immediately behind some of these attacks, you know, on starting call in particular has witnessed a lot of different types of attacks. i would suspect that this so-called islamic state that resides in this part of the world, which is probably not organically connected to the middle east and islamic state. but it's sort of an offshoot, that's your call, and it's
12:07 am
a brand that many different outfits. other groups may use is behind some of this. it definitely is the work of school leaders. and i think that these are the people who want to make sure that the peace process doesn't move for. they have adult types of political or jew political agendas at play, and it's afghan people, unfortunately, who are paying the price here. how would you describe the effect of this type of violence on people there who sadly have grown accustomed to after so many years, but the ticket and the impact it has on students and children, well, who is in afghanistan has been who 42 years. and the last 20 years with the american presence has not been easy either, nor what our partners or beyond sick and tired of war and conflict, not ship. you want nothing but peace in a political settlement. so we need to, i think, do everything possible to steer the ship toward
12:08 am
a political settlement. that is just there is inclusive and is obviously going to reflect the wishes of the afghan people at the end of the day. otherwise, we are going to see more harnage and more killings in that is not good for honest on. and i think it's good for the region and for the great powers that are also interested in what is happening and how the u.s. troop withdrawal affect these talks. i think they were drop 1st of all has 2 different plants. one is the word droll. that is, according to the agreement that will sign and go are in february, which says it stipulates that by may of 2021 if conditions warrant in all science really see eye to eye on what next needs to be done. are honest on that u.s. troops will withdraw. that doesn't mean the us indeed meant it's going to end,
12:09 am
or that the us interests are going to be undermined, but that the military presence is going through an inordinate the media component of counter-terrorism that me continue in some way or another. but there's also another politicized withdrawal at this point with you. is it people who are going to look to see if you do not mean even those who say, well, we have to be able to say the numbers have to be larger in the numbers are smaller, so we need to find the right balance even given the security, mr. samad, given the security situation, the country that military withdrawal is crucial, isn't it? why, why would the taliban negotiate in good faith? if that leverage is ebbing away? well, leverage can be for peace or you could be for war. remember, also us can use live rich part of all have their lives without using their rich
12:10 am
a car all has its way. washington has its way. it's a question of how you use leverage and what purpose. and so the right number needs to take us to peace. we cannot have, in escalation of a war in afghanistan, that is not, i don't think is not good for anyone. we need it deescalation of war. how we reach a certain point, how our whole or how much it's going to be a new work conditions. is the $1000000.00 question. and i think that that's where big this different size include part of, of the outcomes. i hope all of others have to come to some kind of arrangement. other ones. we're going to continue politicizing this issue does not help. former ambassador, thank you. thank you. we go to ethiopia. now government has rejected attempts by the african union to mediate in the conflict in the northern part of the country. the government launched an offensive against the to gripe
12:11 am
people's liberation front 2 weeks ago. since then, both sides of accused each other of killing civilians and as strikes and indiscriminate attacks. an official from the region has also accused neighboring eritrea of supporting the government. in august, i resources, i mean very much interested in wanton killing of civilians, wanton bombardment of women and of towns. in fact, these are the forces, have a contingent of trucks and mentors who export to transport goods and items that they steal from from the towns the temporarily occupied. it's a rather strange sort of course was the source of the destruction of private property in many parts of the record in the number of civilians who are being
12:12 am
displaced is member ethiopian government. in the military of repeatedly deny targeting civilians, they claim to only strike l.f. targets. but the fighting has triggered what united nations is now calling a full scale humanitarian crisis. they've called on the warring sides to stop fighting immediately so that more aid can be delivered. and refugee safe science can also be established. call paulson is a senior official at the world food program and is on the ground at the refugee camps in sudan. he's saying that the priority right now is to really try and make sure the thousands of refugees arriving have enough to eat. but the task is big. currently, human nature reports that some 35000 people have a right as of yesterday and probably more of coming across the border today. what we are doing right now is trying to assist them at the border crossing and then trying to continue that assistance once they set them in one of the camps with longer term assistance. so initially we do contribute to your needs your for the
12:13 am
hot meals and we also provide them at high energy biscuits once they settle in the camps certainly provide them with a monthly ration that should sustain them. here we also have to work with partners, other than u.n.h.c.r., working with the minister of health, with unicef, to work on the nutrition programs to make sure that women and children get the right nutrition should have suffered before or was coming here. both the united nations agencies that work on the medical side n.g.o.s are working hard right now to cover the medical needs of the focus right now on food. nutrition, just stick support and to some extent also providing i.c.t. support for agencies responding to this crisis. hundreds of refugees in my which have been transferred to a makeshift camp on a military site in spain's canary islands. it follows a record surge in people arriving by sea from africa, which is overwhelmed. local government, car like house it's the tourist season on spain's canary islands.
12:14 am
but despite the coronavirus pandemic and the lack of visitors, these apartments and hotels haven't been left empty. they're being used to house a growing number of migrants arriving in record numbers from africa. there is were good enough, but the problem is was not good for us to do. so we address it in the address. it's an ultimate flow, but as well without also with us. we have a family. the government forgot to let us all of africa. it's worked and worked but tell us at least $18000.00 people have landed on the shores this year alone. more than half of that in just the past month. and that's put a strain on government facilities and left thousands stranded in the main port without basic services. yeah, right now, it's also angered local authorities, and many of the island's residents who've criticized the government's slow response
12:15 am
. was this people see not being here, but what can we do? the government says it's urgently setting up makeshift camps on military sites in a little bit. almost about we think that by the end of this year we will have temporary camps to house $7000.00 migrants set up. this is the 1st solution. it blames the increase in arrivals on e.u. agreements with turkey, libya and morocco that have stopped many migrants using established routes. the interior minister has held talks with his moroccan counterpart and the foreign minister is to meet u.n. officials ahead of a visit to senegal. that's become one of the main points of departure for those willing to risk a perilous journey in the hope of a new life on european shores car leg al-jazeera. now covert
12:16 am
19 is expected to dominate a highly unusual g. 20 summit in more than ways than ways than one actually. and any means event is now virtual, although saudi arabia is technically the host tackling the virus, is almost certain to be the main topic of discussion amongst world leaders. but there have also been calls to boycott the meeting in protest against saudi arabia's human rights record. a diplomatic editor, james bass has more. this was very different from the normal g 20 summit world leaders meeting virtually because of coded 19 with the pandemic and the economic fallout from it at the center of all the discussions. this has been an extraordinary year. the covert, 19 and demick has been an unprecedented shock that affected the entire world within a short period of time,
12:17 am
causing global economic and social losses. our peoples in economies are still suffering from this shock. back in 20082009, the g 20 led efforts to get out of the last global recession. some say they haven't shown the same leadership this time. and the u.n. secretary general antonio good terrorists has been calling for them to extend the debt relief program they passed earlier. this year and to increase funding so that vaccines can reach the poorest people on earth for saudi arabia, the host of the summit. this will probably be seen as a missed opportunity to improve their tarnished reputation. they put on a fly past over riyadh, but the normal pomp, formal dinners and face to face meetings, haven't taken place because of the virtual and truncated nature of this year's event. sitting next to the king as he opened the summit, his son,

12:22 am
health ministry have resigned and issued open letters. reza says the government has mismanaged the crisis and disputes statements made by the health minister about the country's progress in finding a vaccine. the closure of business is making life worse for many in what was already a tough economic situation because of u.s. sanctions. the grand bazaar here in iran would usually be packed with shoppers, but it's closed. many agree the lock down is needed, but livelihoods are at stake. $10000000.00 families are to receive around $4.00 a month for the next 4 months on a $40.00 loan. but many say that's not enough. the challenge the government faces is whether it can persuade people to keep abiding by restrictions when they need to work to feed their families al-jazeera to her own. or in other developments, astra zeneca has started final trials of a coronavirus prevention treatment for people whose immune systems a too weak to tolerate

black in brazil means you have your humanity stolen. you have all your rights store and you don't have the opportunity to come and go in peace. you have the security system designed to have you q, just even when you were the victim and you were the target of any bullet that circulates in the city. there is no bullet lost when it hits a black body. you know, as you will see, what, what we saw in porto allegro is the most despicable expression of structural racism, institutional racism, and of how much brazil still inherits from the heritage of the slave countries operating the americas or just to give you some background, black and mixed race, people make up about 57 percent of the population in brazil, but the brazilian form on public safety says 74 percent of the victims of lethal violence are black or mixed race. and it says they make up 79 percent of people killed by police. tell grandpa is a human rights law professor from the f t v law school in south. paolo joins us by
12:27 am
skype. now 1st of all, can i ask about your thoughts on the footage of this attack? tireder on. so it's very brutal weather b.c. it's and it looks like very much what we saw in the case of george floyd. it's basically some people here in brazil were calling it a lean cheating death. so it was just basically choose security guards. one of the next actually also police men, if they're just strangling black men or 2 year old black male, all bad and it sold very violent and very brutal. and also there are some people, few minutes and looking at it. but no one actually stopped the this case to happen and it's happening inside a big supermarket. here. courts are lagging brazil, and these are just a very brutal to see very clear case of racial violence. again, the black person happening here in brazil given
12:28 am
a powerful effect of the video and the fact that this, as you say, it was bush clan and it was captured on camera. you mentioned that george floyd on wondering, is it your feeling that this could be a sort of land not moment and costing the spotlight on racial violence in the country. and in light of these protests, definitely i think the in terms of the public debate and also that mass mobilization yesterday one day after what happened on thursday. it's very clear that these actually reached the public debate and also it's reached people's minds and hearts. and they are actually going to destry 10 protest things. but also we are staying very meek, reaction of bring both from the judicial system. when they ordered the priest in off the secured guard to be done basham black masks and racism at all. and also politicians, high level politicians like surprise president and also the bo'sun are in brazil. i
12:29 am
have very bad reactions. we not actually even recognize think that it's about that . so i think we are getting a very strong reaction with the public and really important portrayed in that meter corporate media. but also i think that they're really lacking that discussion in terms of public policy and called the aims for input change, the rape in brazil. and you confident that that will be justice and accountability . in this case, i don't even do this because the last quote, it's probably, it's a bowed head. be yes that's it. i'm so people that were a red promoter going to be, you know, like he called it or mary. but it's like to be in there just in terms of racism. and also it's going to like to be why there's not
12:30 am
a competition for the state induced roll up there. i mean it's a much higher security guards and that there's an involvement there just for the chain. it's just thank you very much. i apologies. my apologies for the quality of the sound there, obviously we're dealing with a skype attempt to be great to have you back to talk about how this case progresses . obviously it's a very important issue there in the country. of course that in protests in brazil after a black man was beaten to death just by a supermarket. so thank you very much for joining us on this. and the news out live from london still ahead 25 years since the war in bosnia ended in the country remains divided. could
12:31 am
a solution lie with a new u.s. president and in sports, a local wildlife gets the chance to witness the comeback race of a couple and then take champion al of the signs of winter becoming more obvious now. it's getting cold because of the long knives who are mostly european plain. we inject becloud, so in very the high ground, very admittedly, in southern germany, the snow is a bit more obvious and bit more light for we see instance in petersburg, an obvious line going into moscow. it's already snowed here, and the snow will creep sayas through ukraine. as well, daytime temperatures are low, single thing is the most part. they kept time of this constant incoming of wind and rain across the british isles. and scandinavia, at least in places like oslo and stalk her high ground. of course there is snow
12:32 am
gathering and where the cold reaches the warm, the warm water is the central med, this storm system would develop and it's just the latest of money. and this is going to continue for the next few days, probably few weeks, but specifically the next couple of days. if you look at what's wording in the military of it's going to come, it's obvious, are going to come into tunisia, hit the north coast of algeria, and i think will be showers in libya as well. before casa tunisia is a wet weather, windy and wet, want to start for the on sunday. then as the wind goes away, the showers continue lighter winds all the same for the south in africa. clearly the picture is a fairly dry one. so if you more showers, for example, maybe a bit of rain still as far west as liberia. but in 2012 al-jazeera traveled to iraq. people here are definitely scared to speak on camera. they're saying that if they talk to us, they think they'll be arrested down the line to take the pulse of a country ravaged under us occupation. some of these graves are completely
12:33 am
destroyed. it's one of the most holy and sacred sites in all of iraq and turn into a battleground between the mahdi army and the americans. rewind returns to iraq after the americans at this time on all g.c. . when the muse breaks, apart from our club, when people need to be heard and the story needs to be told, that's why they have increased testing in areas with a high infection rate. with exclusive interviews and in-depth reports, see people here tell us they are desperate. they're hungry at home, al jazeera has teens on the ground, kind of love the impact the 2nd lockdown would have to bring you move when documentaries and light news world
12:34 am
welcome back. you're watching the news out live from london, a look at the top stories. i sill is claiming to be behind rocket attacks in afghanistan's capital, kabul that killed at least 8 people and injured dozens more. it tack happened just hours before the u.s. secretary of state. my own pair was due told talks with afghan government and taliban ago. she has in cata ethiopia's government has rejected attempts by the african union to mediate in the conflict in northern ethiopia. the fighting has triggered what united nations is calling a full scale humanitarian crisis. and hundreds of refugees and migrants have been transferred to a makeshift camp on a military site in spain's canary islands. it follows a record surge in people arriving by sea from africa, which has overwhelmed the local government. now nationwide
12:35 am
demonstrations are taking place across chile, demanding the release of hundreds of people arrested during protests for social reform law. in the past year, the united nations and rights organizations are accusing the government in chile, of using detention as a political weapon. prisoners have been detained without trial or visiting rights. so let's speak to our latin america editor lucien. human who joins us now from santiago to tell us some more about about the protests taking place. there you see what's happening around you i there, i'm next to the tab o's emblematic national football stadium, which was used as a detention and torture center during the, the pinochet, dictators up. and there's, this is the place that hundreds of women have chosen to host a demonstration to demand the release of whom they call political prisoners. in chile, these are mostly young men, but also with young women who have been in prison. 7,
12:36 am
sometimes in some cases from that here are charges of using violence 3 of these demonstrations. but these people say that they need an amnesty and they sat renee's to at once. right now they are shortly after they are going to satisfy. i don't like to say it was some dummies of the president of chile, the former head of the national guard who was fired actually just a few days ago because of his handling of the riot police. and one of the former interior minister also been dismissed. so it's a good thing, he didn't have evidence, that means you have more of our what this whole story is about that involving the so-called political prisoners of jello. this is 23 year old student your at a demonstration last year in santiago and protest, he would act as a kind of fire man running after burning hot to dash canisters fired by police and
12:37 am
extinguishing them in water, mixed with bicarbonate of soda. but at another protest, last december, he was apprehended by riot police and jailed for months alongside hardened criminals under preventive detention measures. he's now under house arrest, awaiting trial for allegedly carrying molotov cocktails. out of one of them, he said hugh at the police station 4 officers made me turn my back to the wall while 2 others searched my backpack. that's when i clearly heard them say, let's see how we set the sup, right? i could smell petrol, and i heard the sound of glass bottles, which i wasn't carrying. one might be inclined to dismiss his claims of being strange if they weren't so prevalent. judges and even prosecutors had found evidence of police said, including and indeed a destroyed videos. the idea is to justify the suspects arrest, up to 2 years, preventive detention. and finally,
12:38 am
a harsh since the people claiming that when we spoke to the lawyer, he told us, you know, even in the provinces they condemned prisoners without proof. so it's better to cut a deal outside of the supreme court. families of nearly 700, mostly young men under preventive detention, or house arrest are spearheading a nationwide campaign on behalf of those. they consider political prisoners hundreds like now he should have had ignored visiting rights in jail since march. that it's just wrong. i should like a permit, the president visits, but actually grant this. but my testers who have been imprisoned and acts of violence, the president said, ask at the very clearly that those circumstances while you consider that the government says it's tantamount to go boarding violence with impunity. in chile, there are no political prisoners. we're in
12:39 am
a democracy. and it's the courts that determine if there is preventive detention. it's not the government, but some human rights organizations disagree. there be some particular sympathy, political imprisonment always seeks to punish those who rebel against the system, as well as stopping others from participating actively in social protests. this is done in order to neutralize them through fear of the consequences. do you call your insisting those who fight for their freedom, those on top who live in comfort and with privileges? why can't they think of others? we don't want to live the high life, but we want to live decently. massive demonstrations for a reprieve, for people like the hugo you are growing, but given the violence, it's also been associated with many protests passing. an amnesty law for the so-called heroes of uprising would be a hard sell. well, as you can see,
12:40 am
there's lots of smoke and fire behind me. they've already done away with the dummies that we showed you earlier on. and these sort of demonstrations are going to continue. there's no doubt about that as more and more people begin to avoid these demands for people who are considered by some as the heroes of chile social uprising to be released and for the president to finally back down on her on his refusal to give them amnesty also the fact that there's a new police chief in chile gives some hope that he may turn things around and actually investigate these so-called claims of set ups, which are prevailing all over the country. and that could allow some of these people, these young people to be released sooner rather than later. back to you, thanks very much alice america and its embassy and human reporting to us from santiago, chile. now it's been 25 years since rival ethnic leaders signed a peace deal that would end the 3 year bosnian war a quarter of

a century on from the dayton agreement. many living in the politically divided country want it changed. under the deal, bosnia is preserved as a single state but divided into 2 parts. and under simmons' reports, this has caused problems of its own. the war in bosnia herzegovina lasted 3 and a half years. it left more than 100000 people dead. and more than 2000000 displaced half the country's small population. there were atrocities streb or neat . so the biggest, more than 8000, muslim men and boys killed by bosnian serbs. it was the worst atrocity in europe since world war 2. peace came 25 years ago with a deal reached in the united states the dayton agreement. it may have stopped the fighting, but now suffering of a different kind is abundant, low wages, a failing economy, corruption in the ruling elites, poor education,
