12:02 pm
humanitarian catastrophe. specifically. oh, alright, let's take you actually now who i've gone this time. where i show me the president is speaking, listening to what he's saying to the problems of the inter, displaced people on our national security and defense forces, who are defending donation. i'm thankful for them. i'm thankful to the nation for being a standing shoulder should to shoulder with our forces. our 1st priority is to bring coordination me actions in relation to why coordinating our india or national defense for says i would like to assure you has your presidency study or no you are worried about the situation. we are going to
12:03 pm
prevent further displacement of the people's lives make this situation for the people that might do math. i'm not going to allow this imposed war on our nation to lead to more bloodshed, to losing big gains of our last 2 decades and to damages to our public goods on infrastructure. because of this message is carried out. consultations, why does it come to hazard consultations? with representatives up to people and leaders and with our international partners that's consultations are being carried out jets. but then on that it's p d man, and i'm going to share the results with you quickly at your well being back with your success and prosperity for our concerns, our priorities,
12:04 pm
and we are going to continue our efforts long live. i'm gonna start working on this. all right, let's go now live to rog mcbride in cobble. so rob there we heard quite a defined message from a short granny put it into context. what is the bottom line of his assurances to people? well, i guess we all expecting this speech from ash ref god, he has become increasingly baffled by this crisis. that has been an awful lot of speculation that might be some kind of change in leadership that he might turn out even, possibly that he might be standing back from government. that's what the speculation has been about leading up to this speech. but as we've heard that he seems to have re committed himself to carrying on the struggle. he had came on thanking the the armed forces for the sacrifices that they have made. he has talked about trying to
12:05 pm
prevent further bloodshed and suffering of the people. he spoken about not giving up all of the advances and the, the gains that have been made over the last 20 years or so. but that was it. that was the end of the speech. it's very intro because there has been an awful lot of pressure on him that has to be some sort of political solution to. this is not going to be settled on the battlefield. and the political suits a solution might involve him stair stepping back and somebody else taking over. certainly that's been the demands from organizations like the taliban. they will have said repeatedly that if they're going to talk about any power sharing agreements, then ref, connie is not going to be part of that picture. but as we've heard that i've done, this is going to change it anytime soon. but for the moments, at least he seems committed.
12:06 pm
all right, thanks so much to run mcbride bad. let's bring in victoria fountain professor of peace studies of the american university of of chemistry joint us now on skype. from cobble good to have you with us. if i could start with a point that president, i shall funny, mentioned that without elaborating, he did say consultations are under way. what exactly do we understand that to mean these consultations and negotiations for a transition to a different government? well, that could be the case because this is something that the, the african government has already propose a few days ago. and it could be that the solution could and the current violence. how, whether the tally, but have asked for ashley. i need to step down, and i've already rejected this type of negotiated settlement. so it remains to be
12:07 pm
seen what happens. so when the position of the president getting it. so it has been suggested that the that is a mediation effort underway led by my hand to try and talk directly to the northern alliance. mike, that lead to a transition transitional government that does not include shotgun as your, as you are pointing out their well dis, this could well happen. i don't think that we have any information to, to speculate on data at this time. but again, it's all about the current government it's, let's see. and, and so the stand that it is going to take in the next 24 hours. so if the government, if the president does not sit down, then does it mean that we have different political factions, claiming to be deleted, demit, hulu. again,
12:08 pm
it's done in the middle of the war. nobody knows right now. and i guess that the next the hours are going to be crucial. the situation isn't forging really rapidly here. and, and there has been another situation about the stepping down a resident gafney, but so far it, it all remains to be seen over all that the tone of president shall gone his message. that was quite defiant, saying he will protect the people he will not allow the gains of the last couple of decades to be lost and so on and so forth. from your analysis though, with the latest gains made by the hon, yvonne, can the government resist cannot withstand this taught on tied i do not think it can. there is a lot of talking about the reading, pending independence days, and many think that the live and are going to go for capital this week and declare
12:09 pm
independence some so say so i, their latest games are extremely significant. they're going foreman's every week right now and, and it's, it's time for a negotiated settlement. every minutes, every hour, accounts. and i think that the situation is so critical. those advances are likely to stop and lead the demands are being met. and that's extremely unfortunate. what sort of pasta do you expect from the international community? typically the u. s. i don't quite know because every time they they indicate to the tiny but not across certain boundary that boundaries crossed and there is still negotiations and there are still agreements of thought and there is still a lot of the in a way diplomatic cajoling. and so i,
12:10 pm
i think i don't know what to expect right now. the, the focus is on the evacuation of the, of embassy stuff. and i, i think that the disengagement is quite clear and has been clear for some time. and, and there is also from that perspective, a lot of defiance and in transition to so in a conflict where different parties are not willing to budge, then of course the needs in oakland, boot of our needs an open book for the taliban to advance on capital and, and in for the we need to take it all ready. i thank you so much for your analysis on that. now residents, now jury as tease youth who are surveying the devastation wrought by wild fires that you've been through the region, firefighters of managed to put out all fires in the province. there are still 35 other flare ups across the country. the army has been deployed to help fight the
