had their message far beyond their hamburg home, but some police history is far from innocent. the club is sending out a warning about the rise in popularity of far right parties like the a f d. nazis and fascists have no place in san poly today. ah . searching for peace negotiations between the taliban and the ask and government resume in the me sell rahman watching on there like my headquarters hearing coming up in the next 30 minutes. rescue cruise checks of much calls. the survivors in western europe. reco rains kill more than 150 people. belgium, repatriate a group of women and children from a prison camp. i saw suspects, and ne,

in syria. memories of a massacre in northern ethiopia, where one of the 1st mass killings happened at the start of the conflict in secret i i we began in the hallway delegations from the african government. and the taliban have been holding talks from both sides saying that focused on piece. now the meetings happening against the backdrop of raging violence and have done his fun, where the taliban taken advantage of the us withdraw launching offensives, encountering large parts of the country, african governments piece minister has called on the taliban to be flexible in the negotiations award. no group can take the country by force while the taliban spokesman says group wants and inclusive government based on islamic principles. we hope we won't. and we, we expect that to be,

should have brought something to get mental. and on our side, we are ready to short flexibility, and our aim is clear and that is to have and slamming up on a crusade was meant in place in our plan is found and put an end to this phase of piping and into a new piece which will be our piece and good for every a solver. binge van has more from the talks in doha, going into another round of talks and heard the taliban have been clear that they want their prisoners released as a bond between them and the states they want the listing from a united nation. they're list and they want an all inclusive government in a gun is done, which represent to represent a spectrum of political views and to discuss that with us is a member of the negotiating team thought was another thank you very much for being with if you're also a minister for peace in a gun, it's done. you've come here again. you've renewed hope for bringing them to the

table and getting some tangible results. how hopeful are you and what is going to be different? thank you very much. of course we are always helpful. we have to be optimistic, the only solution to the conflict enough grindstone is a piece under consideration. the only solution for the concrete foot 3 it enough kind of stuff is through the means of negotiation. so we have to keep the door off. there is ocean open because the solution to the conflict is not violent. so the solution is actually meaningful negotiation. so my question is, what is going to change this time around? you've been talking to them since september, there was a lot of hope that was put upon these negotiations. and now the talent seem to have the momentum of fighting behind them as they're taking large sweets of, of what we've now come to very important items

on the agenda for discussion. where we have the roadmap, the, the political roadmap, and the color going to be changing the constitution. so i think these are the most important items on the agenda. what is the flexibility that the government slide is willing to show time around to make sure that there is momentum behind these talks and the killing and the fighting can stop. to be very frank with you, we've been quite flexible and also tolerance since the start of the new generation of african who has come along the past 20 years. 50 percent of our population is below the age of 15. what they've experienced, the italian undersea 70 percent is under the age of 30. so this young generation is looking for education,

economic well being health and prosperity. so they want job creation. so we need to be adaptable to, to this new young generation of cough times a day for the sooner we start fighting the sooner we concentrate in focus in reaching a deal where international community is eagerly waiting for our guys to work together and to reach a compromise well let's get reaction out of the us rather than jordan corresponded to standing by washington dc and roles. the us military may not be gone this time, but the u. s. is still an integral part of you might see them negotiating the team, trying to find a way forward for the country. that's right. in fact, lot of the criticism that came from the civilian government and cobble was that for the better part of a couple of years. it was the us engaging with the taliban in relative talks

in doha, qatar, rather than the us stepping aside and allowing the afghan civilian government to engage face to face with the tall. a bond representatives. well, now that's happening, but us officials are still very much a part acting as interlocutors in this process. it's also worth pointing out that even though the us military is for all intents and purposes out of afghanistan, except for a few, that will be providing security at the embassy. the u. s. is still very much involved in educational, economic and civil society development in that country. but it's very important to point out that the buyer and ministration is trying to get out of the business of running wars overseas, mainly because in president joe biden view wars are not solving the problem for the afghan people. as long as us forces are in country,

it's really difficult for the afghan people to take on their own security, their own economic development, their own engagement with other countries around the world. now there is a question about whether or not the u. s. is losing any influence? well, certainly the us is not going to just close the door and pretend that nothing is happening with afghanistan in a vacuum already. there are some here or washington who are looking at what might be efforts by the chinese government to build economic ties inside afghanistan, despite the ongoing instability across the country. and that's because afghanistan has an estimated 4 trillion dollars worth of untapped role reserves that could be very useful to china, which is in the business of creating many of the computers and electronics that people around the world use. and so having a total hold as it were for beijing would be important. but it's also noteworthy

that the u. s. is very skeptical of china's efforts to expand its influence and particularly in south asia and in the middle east. and so you can expect that there will still be robust washington intervention in diplomatic and economic ways in order to check that influence from aging and to maintain its influence in the region. but in terms of troops and tanks and, and helicopters and fighter jets, you're not going to see that. not for some time if ever for the update. thanks so much rose jordan, that force in washington dc. but most of the workers in belgium, in western germany are searching for hundreds of people believe missing after those devastating floods. more than 150 a confirm dad with that figure expected to increase rescue efforts are being hampered by roads that have collapsed and damaged communication. lines that bass and in s t at with more on the recovery efforts in germany. what we're seeing now

time when the flash lot sold quickly came up. and so now they're desperately looking for clothes and that's some item here that's been delivered to to them, but also the president spine. my maya was here lasha who is kind of the chancellor . we're here so reassuring worth. also from the government, like we are helping you, but don't be through impatience because we want everything to be safe before you return to your home. the belgian prime minister, alexander de crew, has visited some of the hardest areas to survey the damage from what is called the unprecedented floods. rescuers have been going door to door to check on residence. tuesday has been declared a national day of mourning. at least 27 deaths have been confirmed in belgium. well, the central butler josie now from the belgian city of the azure and natasha. you're in the neighborhood, i believe you've been talking to residents about what happened. what have they been saying? yes,

just one of the many stories that we've been hearing here from residents. we've been so traumatized by what has happened to now i'm trying to pick up the pieces a wondering what will happen next. where will they live? how will they try and rebuild their lives and rebuild? natasha, of course belgium, like germany was bracing itself for the death toll to rise once the water either subsided or gave way to the rescue services. what sort of numbers are you hearing about now? well we understand that in terms of a confirmed that it could be anywhere between $23.27. it really depends on whether you listen to regional authorities or national authorities. nevertheless, those that are continuing to go off because emergency work is online now able to access some of the homes and road streets that they will not able to access before because they will block to buy by water of course. and they going from house the

house and they're looking for hopefully of course survivors and helping people, particularly the elderly, the frail refundable, people have been stuck in doors. the perhaps don't have a communication. we know that many people have had that communication cards, but they will of course, also perhaps find victim find, find bodies. and that is something that people are having to be prepared for that session about in the as thanks very much now still hold out there. the looting stopped, but tension remains in south africa where the military is patrolling the streets after days of unrest and bundled into jail for daring to speak out. we hear from cubans who been released that the anti government protest, those stories after the break. ah,
