delegation is pledged to consider a sci fi with the government and stop its assaults. if ongoing talks in council succeed and if certain criteria are met, the say in the conclusion is both sides. prisoners should be released, the blacklist should be removed. there must be no attacks on the provisional capital city districts should not collapse. there should be no military activities and populated areas. a space of trust should be built among our guns and 90 days must be allocated for negotiations so we can arrive at or result. but the reality on the ground is fall from that as the group has made major gains in the last few months. taking advantage of a power vacuum of us and foreign troops leaving it claims to be in control of more than half of the $400.00 afghan districts across more than 20 provinces. including border towns. this week, more than a 1000 afghan troops led into 2 g stone off to italy, bon offensive in the north, along the border. tyler bond fights is also one thursday captured

a keyboard crossing with iran. russia has warned it will use force if any cross. good, a violence occurs, but they never miss shamika taliban has quickly taken many board districts and now has control of about 2 thirds of the board with touch which a russian military base and tajikistan is equipped with everything necessary to help the republic if needed. additional measures will be undertaken in the spirit of the russian public alliance to prevent aggression or territorial provocation. last week, the afghan government told al jazeera it won't collapse as a result. but the tyler bond says it wants to lead and inclusive government that respects minorities, women, and men in education, unemployment. the tal about have demonstrated no appetite whatsoever for any concessions they and they have consistently told their own membership. the men who are fighting on the ground is that they have one on the ultimate goal, which is complete military victory and re establishment of

a taliban dominated government without any form of coalition with any other party. in moscow. the tyler bond said it once humanitarian support to continue in areas under its control that agencies are struggling to get medical supplies into a canister on many health workers of fleeing violence and escalating file, a conflict pandemic that continues to spread. and now a natural disaster in the form of the recently declared drought. and all these events are unfolding in the context of one of the largest and longest standing humanitarian emergencies in the world. afghans of the said most displaced population globally and yet to see a peaceful solution to decades of violence. a height of al jazeera symmetry babich as a political analyst, as rossi said, goes now a state own russian news agency. he says both russia and the taliban say they've learned from past mistakes, and it's unlikely that history will be repeated. well,

certainly russia will lot go into again. this question was asked to our or a minister. and he said it was absolutely out of the question that russia would be the mistake that we made, the $979.00. and that mistake was made primarily because the soviet leadership was concerned about possible american influence in august and the 979. now, was russia is going to how if there are problems on the board there, but certain the rush of a lot and get didn't go really carefully in any immediate activities against them. hopefully it will be different from what we saw in the 99. of course, everyone is interested in stable developing again, this is just insane. it's insane on the side of the soviet union as the states

are trying to make up against any concrete or some kind of quasi european democracy . that's not going to happen. and again, we have known that less an earlier than americans. now i think to give that we should do something to prevent it from becoming what it wasn't. well, the un security council has approved a deliveries from turkey into syria for another year. the mandate for the operation was due to expire on saturday. russia had threatened to block an extension. it wanted a to be controlled by the syrian government, but a compromise has now been reached. let so speak to in emory eric sensory there who's norway's, for a minister. she's joining us lie from although thank you so much for speaking to us and that compromise. just remind our viewers what that is is that aid will not resume into northwest syria for a 6 month period. and then there will be

a 6 month renewal subject to certain conditions. are you pleased with this resolution that was passed as i'm very pleased with it? we think that this is an extremely important resolution. it's the lifeline of 3400000 people who have no other way of reaching basic. you carry an aide. we're now assuring that 1000 craters every month can, can come over to the border with food with medicines, with water. and we have been very keen on collaborating with all members of the council. and this is really a milestone because this is the 1st resolution on syria in almost 5 years that was adopted unanimously. and that i think is something to, to build on for also the political solutions that must come and syria foreign minister, norway had put forward an initial draft. however,

in that initial draft had called for the reopening off another border crossing in addition to the renewal of the babel crossing. but of course, there were objections by china and russia and then you withdrew that dropped and proposed a compromise resolution. so would you now be looking at trying to convince russia to opening at least one other border crossing? well, as you, as you rightly point out, our initial aim was to open to or to have the one we have today. but how open and we open another crossing that was not possible for the counsel to we on. so we had to work with all council members in order to get a renewal for the next year, which is more or less about keeping $3400000.00 people alive in syria. and how we see this is as a victory for diplomacy. and we think that it's also a very good way of cooperating with all council members. we also see that it now

covers many of the needs that are not only big, but also increasing in that part of syria. and there are no other ways for people in this region to get to my attention a because there are no supply lines from regime control, the areas in syria and into the market, syria. but let me just put you on this a little bit. it's, i mean, would you be pushing at the un security council by you, i mean, norway, of course, to try and get more border crossings open for a to get into the country. again, we wanted to have one more crossing open and the table, the resolution of draft together with islands and were co pay holders miss filing the security council. and we want to keep as many openings or crossings open as possible. but now we have a decision that takes care of the most acute issues and that decision is bands and what will happen with the next renewal into next year is of course, up for discussion. we hope that it will be possible to china as much as possible

into the bubble, how a crossing and we know that from the us title. so this has been precarious for a long time. and to see that now the quote from you still open from the year is going to give aid and to relief and relief for millions of syrians who have no other way of reaching basic humanitarian need. the russian ambassador to the united nations commented after this resolution was passed and he described it as a milestone. he also said that today we are witnessing a historical moment and for the 1st time russia and the us not only man is to find an agreement, but to present a joint text. are you optimistic that this could potentially unlock other areas of cooperation when it comes to serial? well, as i wanted to earlier, i'm hopeful that this can be a constructive way of also discussing a political solution interior. it is desperately needed because only political settlement and solution can be in the necessary calm and also course the necessary

humanitarian aid and also vital to a sustainable development in syria going forward. so i'm hopeful that this milestone that actually took place today and could also bode well for the future. and we have to be optimistic given the fact that now for the 1st time in 5 years able to agree anonymously on resolution on syria in the council. and one of our colleagues of penn holders has also been to try to unite also us and, and russia in a discussion on this. and that has been successful. and we are also very grateful that all members continue to constructively to this resolution and to the adoption unanimously. resolution, a foreign minister. we thank you so much for speaking to us on al jazeera. thank you for having me. well, we have russell sardar, standing by in the bible. ho crossing that's on the syria turkey border. we'll

bring him in and just a moment. the 1st words, if the magic editor james bay's at the united nations who watched all of this unfold and a foreign minister of norway, just saying that she was pleased with this resolution passing, james, what's been some of the other reaction that's come through? well, it's interesting to hear the comments and then we come for a minute because no way and ireland what the 2 security council members that known as the pen holders on the syrian humanitarian issue. they were leading these negotiations. and clearly they come up with a compromise let. so be honest, the compromise gives syrians exactly what they had before, which is just one border crossing, which the un itself says if they had more border crossings, they could deliver more aid. but they only have that one, and the status quo does not change as a result of this resolution. it's also worth telling you that although arlen de norway were leading the negotiations, certainly the credit for the deal that was done in the compromise in the end is

being taken by the us and russia, both the russian ambassador and the us ambassador saying that there was very good relations between the us and russia, and they came up with this compromise, suggesting that it may have been something that came out of or led from the putin biden meeting in geneva. the took place earlier this month and may be a turning point in us russian relations. that's certainly a comment from the russian ambassador worth noting that all this is, this is happened in the same day just hours after that was a phone call between president biden and president putin. ok, james, thank you so much for that update from the united nations. let's now bring in russell sardar, he's joining us from the serial turkey border crossing that bob and how, which we've been speaking about will just tell us a little bit about the humanitarian needs where you are and what you've been seen. well very now we are just standing in front of the baba causing point that through

the last couple of days have been the main topic of the discussion. and today, a couple of hours ago was, and the city central of the live and talking to the aid workers and people that they were seeing that they're very much upset point and, and feeling broken that there is such a discussion and negotiation is going on in the united nations security council, because the discussion should not be to whether to hand the, the mandate for the last remaining a delivery point or not. but it's rather shouldn't be about how to reopen the other gates and increase the open case through the borders in the north and the yes, because these people desperately need the community. and here, there are 4500000 people who are living in this tiny region and with limited access to the food, the madison, the medical care, and the,

the water and electricity. yesterday i was in the refugee camps and talking to the people, women, elderly people, those people who need the medical urgent medical care and children. and you can see that they are really living under the rough conditions. and these people are carrying the scores of a decade off the war. and through the last couple of days, they have been even facing maybe to lose their last lifeline of the aid that they desperately need. also today was to their medical facilities, hospitals in it left like list and medical facilities, a hospital and the mass whole, the hospital. and i could see that the doctors and nurses of really struggling to help the people who are in a desperate need of the children, the heavily injurious people. and you know, the issue all of this shortage of the equipment, the met since the basic essential materials there are coast and attacks when the

russian forces and the rigid forces were these facilities over the cities and even sometimes to the camps. so in that regard, these people are almost left alone in the middle of a global pandemic. and just 4500000 people leaving him as so far. so if you only $55000.00, those of the west teens have arrived. so those will be able to manage to have an access to the wac seen are considered in done so slightly the luckiest so the 12 month of extension to the u. n. a delivery mechanism is going to have to a certain extent, give a relief to the how key workers, the passions and the people who are in need of the, the mandatory aid. but it is far from a permanent solution to did humanitarian crisis in this war tone, region biz extension may be a temporary life saver,

but the law to fate of millions of people is still remaining on clear. ok, thank you so much for. so sir francis shrinking its military role in the fight against armed groups in africa. so how region president somebody my cross says france will start closing its bases. and northern molly before the end of the year, micro hosted the leaders of the g 5 countries. molly cha, bertina found sony's air and more italia and a virtual summits. he had announced last month at franz would withdraw. most of it's 5000 soldiers in the region. once more had on the news hour, including running on empty families in indonesia search for oxygen as the country struggles to contain. the latest corona virus outbreak felt much the decade of independence, but reflects on the pain brought by years of fighting july,

station were several suspects are being held in. angry crowd gathered, demanding the suspect, be turned over to them. those guys killed the president. we are going to make them suffer now that the police have found them and taking them to jail. we want them to burn today. the haitian police, she said that 28 attackers have been identified. 26 colombians and 2 americans of haitian descent. he said 8 were some of the run and 3 had been killed. and in a surprising turn, the colombian defense minister acknowledged some of the suspects had been in the colombian army, they might be in respond to the assassination of the haitian president. today, interpol has officially requested information from the colombian government and the national police about the alleged perpetrators of this act. so initially, the information indicates they are colombian citizens retired members of the national army. we have given instructions by the national government to our police

and the army to collaborate in the investigation. to clarify these facts immediately, public force is fully at the disposition of the sister republic of haiti. this is all unfolded among a political backdrop of confusion about who is actually in charge. well, 1st i would say that it is still, it is our view and we continue to call for elections to happen this year. and we believe they should proceed. we know that free and fair elections will facilitate a peaceful transfer, a power to a newly elected president, and we certainly continue to support haiti's democratic institutions. louise had been ruling by decree after the majority of parliament was dissolved in january last year. now both claud, joseph and ariel henry, bow senior politicians claim they are in charge. haiti a desperately poor country where the corona virus is spreading, violence is surging and political uncertainty rules the day. and now international

mystery of who assassinated the 53 year old president. and why had to call him al jazeera washington more now from antic oliver, who's joining us from miami. so any new details emerging about the assassination andy while officials in columbia held a press conference within the last hour or so, they said they all specifically looking at for colombian companies that may have provided mercenary services. they say that of the 2 dozen colombians, the rest of non are currently in the military, but certainly some of them have been in the military in the past, which really confirms the reports we 1st heard in the earlier. i was of wednesday morning from haitian officials, here in the us, the by the administration is now promised to send federal agents from the f b i and the department of homeland security to help with this investigation. but really, at the moment, the motive for why this happened, or who is the haitians and now saying is the master by mastermind behind. this is

still on known for the moment things in puerto prince necros, haiti are quiet. i think people, they're pretty scared and hunkering down into houses waiting to hear news. one of my contacts important prints that she said that sought the american embassy. there are now long lines of haitians trying to get these us to get out of that country because they fear what may happen next. that's another reason why the border with neighboring dominican republic hasn't now being closed. essentially, we've got a power vacuum, a political vacuum amendment following the death of mister malise and 2 different people, claiming to be in leadership. that is really not what he needs right now. it need some definitive leadership, but more than anything else that you need, safety and security for its own people. i think this investigation will move, perhaps a little bit faster now, but the colombians and the u. s. government are involved. but for the people of haiti, these next few hours, days and months will be very uncertain. indeed. thank you so much. and gallagher reporting from miami,
