and the disappointment that they would likely be left behind charlotte bellis ultra 0. cobble rushes president, says the world must prevent the collapse of of gun his thumb and prevent what he called terrorism entering the neighboring countries. let him imputed made the remarks after meeting with german chancellor anglo merkel at the kremlin. he said taliban rule is the new reality going forward and that other countries must not impose valleys on afghanistan. well, jen holly's falling events for us from london. and of course, that meeting between merkel in 2000 and comments about i've kind of sunday, obviously have very different experiences and opinions about how to move forward when it comes to the country. they see things very differently. clearly these 2 countries and i've got to stand, will have the potential at least going forward to drive a wedge even deeper in relations between russia and the west. particularly of
7:19 pm
course, native other grounds for cooperation. well, you know, possibly, and they will potentially explored those. in this meeting, the agreement was obviously reached what nato would most like. germany as well, would be to be able to find leaders of influence inside afghanistan in order to prevent it again, becoming a haven for foreign group spent on launching attacks on the west and also to try and preserve some of the fragile games over the last 20 years, not least, women's rights, minority rights and so on, but they don't have those leaves of influence anymore. russia though, does it still has a diplomatic presence there? it has direct ties with the taliban. its relationship with the taliban is probably relatively strong. the question is, is there, are there common interests between russia and they to are their grounds to collaborate the chief amongst them? probably stability. both sides wanted to see stability in afghanistan. so those are the talks would like to continue mister pruitt and said that what he would like to
7:20 pm
see a good neighborhood relations with i've got to stand, as you said, warning against imposing outside values on the country and saying he hoped the taliban would make good on its promise to restore order, he's previously of course, noted what he described as positive signals coming from the group. so level optimistic view from the russian president. then the view as we know all to well now from nato countries in germany. jenna, this is very much as well. the song really full anglo medical, she's about to leave office as the country heads towards elections a in a few weeks time. there are other areas though, all barrier disagreement between the 2 countries and valley bella. ruth ukraine just to name a few and was presumed she would have touched on those issues. what do you hearing about? she certainly didn't touch on all of those issues. she's ever been forthright with mr. boot and i go back a long way, 16 years. she's been in office, they both have sort of coincidental backgrounds in eastern europe. they both speak each other's language even if they've not often seen eye to eye,
7:21 pm
but they have continued talking through some of the dark is chapters of recent russia you and western history. yes. she brought up alexi, nevada, the criminal critic she has demanded, he be released and did so again, mister putin said he's being held being punished for breaking the law. she brought up elevation abuses against human rights activists. of course, bella luce and alexander lucas shank. close allies of russia and she asked that piece talks be revived with ukraine after she leaves office. they've stagnated, somewhat. mister putin shot back with ukraine is not behaving according to the peace deal. and these on the verge of walking away from the peace deal he thinks, altogether so plenty to disagree upon. as i say, they've always continued talking despite disagreements. 20 times angular merkel has visited at president putin in the russian capital. this though. her last as chancellor, germany gentle linda forest, thanks very much. now the dental from

7:23 pm
they've been sending heavy digging. they've been sending civil protection. but he said that even all of those efforts of hardly put them in the destruction that's been caused in the like, we just actually go back from the da's office own. we just spent most of the last few days looking around to see what's happening with the communities that and i think some people, especially in those communities, would disagree with his assessment of the haitian government doing all that it could. we went to one community called for on whose local representative said that 98 percent of the houses were destroyed, that we spoke to so many homeless people. and that local representative said he actually phoned up the prime minister who told him just to wait. we saw other things, especially in the city of tai which is not unexpected. it's probably the biggest city in the disaster zone in the stadium that the football stadium is just full know of tense. but of plastic sheeting blankets being held up by sticks and desperate families who have lost everything,
7:24 pm
just sheltering beneath them. no toilets, no water. not really any aid because most of it gets robes the moment it gets to the gate of that place. so you saying things that the government surely must be able to come to terms with and start helping out with if there wasn't such a moment, it seems a bit of an organizational vacuum, possibly corruption as well. now that organizational vacuum part of that is because the president was killed just last month and be the prime minister. you recognized him the cool with the oh yes, but fled to chronic instability. they said that they should get back to a fully functioning democracy. that's what he wants to go, but obviously this quite would have put back elections as well. so he sees a bit of a, a situation at the moment in the, it's in the middle of storm season. it's just have this biggest quake. it's got so many people in the south west of the country that's suffering and struggling. come to terms with that and to deal with that john hobo imported brands like so. johnny's, now,
