i'm the father of k, both foreign minister and a question regarding the interim government and how we deal with the government with germany. and the us diplomatic relations with the american colleague already said that the minister of the interior is on the blacklist off the f. b, i and even if prospectively, other groups will be included in the government in the future, this minister of the interior seems to be in that position. so would you reopen embassies and control what, what stage would we restart diplomatic relations? which couple under these conditions come in, is that one day i can tell you when that point in time will have come. but i can

tell you that we have had direct talks with the taliban up to now. if we hadn't done that, we wouldn't have been able to evacuate honorable groups, germans, africans from us. we continued to have german nationals, enough guns. but we don't have any diplomat take representation in couple in going to son. so in order to evacuate these german nationals, we need to have the people to talk to on the ground. and the question of a diplomatic representation is something we're discussing with our international partners. we're coordinating our efforts in this issue. we don't think it's helpful for everybody to do their own thing. and this is one reason for our meeting with so many colleagues here today. we want to have an international coordination process. we don't want to be played off against each other from the taliban. but if we want

to evacuate driven nationals and local staff and vulnerable groups from us can go in whichever way. i think it will be necessary to continue to talk to the taliban regardless of a diplomatic recognition. this is not what we're talking about. no, i can't see anything that points to that. right? no, no, this is about evacuating people from a stand for whom we have given permission to enter our country. and in addition to that, we need to talk about your mentoring assistance. we are ready to provide humanitarian assistance with the help of the un agencies. this requires discussions and talks and if, if this is about making sure people don't starve, i think it would be irresponsible to not have these talks. i fully agree with, with my friends. hi, co i would simply say are simply added that the nature of the taliban,

like governments relationship with us with the international community will depend entirely on its actions in the weeks and months and time ahead. michael crawley, the near times. thank you. thank you both secretary blinking. my questions about iran, your envoy for ron robert malley is visiting moscow in paris this week to consult with allies on the nuclear negotiations with tara tara, which have now been installed for months last week. around foreign ministry said that the talks would likely not resume for another 2 to 3 months. and as you know, around progress on enriching highly on enriching uranium, continues a, you and other officials have been saying for months now that there is some point at which it will not be possible to return to the jcp. a because of around nuclear progress is 2 to 3 months too long for that scenario where you return to the j.

c p o. as we knew it, minister math related. there is a new i a report that is highly critical of iran saying that a ron stonewalling the nuclear agencies work, walking inspectors and hindering the agencies investigations into the nature of its program. back in february, germany and other european nations considered a formal censure. resolution of iran, but held off in order to allow diplomacy to work. that was now many months ago. would you now support a formal aida rebuke of iran? thank you michael. i'm not going to put a date on it, but we are getting closer to the point at which a strict return to compliance with the j. c. p. away does not reproduce the benefits that that agreement achieved. because as time goes on and as around continues to make advances in a nuclear program,

including spending more sophisticated centrifuges, enriching more material, learning more. there is a point at which it would be very difficult to regain all of the benefits of the j . c. t. o. by returning to strict compliance with jason, we're not at that point yet, but it's getting closer. and that's why we've been very clear that the ability to rejoin the j. c. p. o, a mutual return mutual compliance is not indefinite. broad valley is in the process as you noted, of consulting with, with russia and also with our, our european partners. and we're very much, very much focused on that right now. i can div position of denial. listen to this to that. yeah. or boy, i have taken out of the also new reports of the i a and unfortunately,

it seems to be the case that this transitional period in which no negotiations have taken place at that iran who uses these the time to breach the agreement. and we are currently consulting with our partners under the agreement on how we will react. we still think it would be possible. i mean, negotiations have been taken taking place and we still think it is possible to conclude these negotiations. i had a phone call with my iranian colleague last week, and i told him that his remarks had only after 2 or 3 months. it would be invisible to come back to the negotiation table. is a point in time that from our point of view is too far away and we could interpret those as iran having different plans with regard to the g p. o a. so i asked him to make sure that they will return earlier to the

negotiation table. guy, and that will be a good opportunity to make clear what the, what iran government's position with regard to the g p a is what we expect the new government will come to support the negotiations that have been conducted and will continue to do so. and we will do everything we can to bring these negotiations to a success, but 2 or 3 months is a timeframe that is too big for us to stuff on that. i'm 5 a time touch my math. mr. i need to ask another question. when it comes to asylum seekers, you said one by one and took by 100 percent, the agreement is being implemented and these people are not filling out to the us. does that mean this pupil cannot use their right to asylum and germany and about

which number of people will the bill will be talking about over the coming month. that will be on the waiting list off the federal government and we the ministry of the interior has as it has 40000 people on the list, how do they come up with this number? well, these are 2 separate issues. the legal situation is quite clear when it comes to asking asylum. so the applications less than one percent of the people who came here will be a review will be looked at under the process. there are different reasons for asking for asylum. some people may have relatives in germany and it is not the case that we i think that the situation in ramstein will continue the way it is for a month. the way people work here, we believe that the process will take a few more weeks. so this is a manageable situation,

but the legal basis is, as it is and it will apply and will continue to apply this place. now those who have will receive a righteous stay in germany. that is, of course, true for german nationals, for local staff. and for very well in the role groups, we have pointed out that when it comes to local stuff, it could be up to 40000 people. but that does not mean that there will be 40000 people because these people need to register as vulnerable groups as people in danger. and not all local staff we had have done. so over the period of time we have set out. and this is the number that exists and that could be arranged when get home without being able to say whether it

really will be 40000 people and then it could be 40000 people. thank you all. alright he just been listening there to a joint news conference between us sec to stay antony blinking on his visit to germany at ramstein air force base air and west in germany and with the german foreign minister, high co mass, lots of discussion there. much of it centering earlier on the makeup of the african into a government that was announced on tuesday and their reaction to it. antony blink and saying that it was not, it was not inclusive and pointing out that did not include any women hika mass affirming those concerns and the general skepticism. they also sang to german germany for housing. so many afghans that were evacuated in the air left over the

last few weeks after taliban took over the afghan capital. dominic cane has been his life force in berlin. he's been listening to this with us. so dominant come, it's fair to say this was perhaps something of a fence mending exercise for, for the united states as, as blinking arrive, given the way the, the withdraw was, was handled out of afghanistan. and the concerns that many european allies like germany had about what was being left behind. yes, very much diplomacy on show here between high komatt, the german foreign minister and his counterpart from the united states and the lincoln, the secretary of state, that amending offenses warm words about the role of each country. but the point is that here in germany, at least there are many voices who have in high political circles for many

different policies, have been critical about the way that the united states government, both under president trump and then under president biden, went about leaving afghanistan. certainly one of the important players in politics is referred to what happened is a disaster. so clearly a form of words had to be found here and there was a loss of agreement between mister consecutive lincoln and the foreign mister high co mass about suddenly about to the composition of this interim. can't take a government announced by the taliban. also about the evacuation procedure that was underway. we heard secretary, blaine can thank the german government for allowing one quarter more than a quarter of only a vacuum to transit through ramstein on their way to their eventual destinations. the clearly what we also saw that was the, the view from both leaders. when there was a question about the recognition of the new government of the taliban in

afghanistan. secretary lincoln saying that we need to see that the, that the world needs to see and hear the words and deeds of the taliban in government as it were before it can pass a judgment on what will be possible with the taliban in terms of representation. diplomacy that sort of thing. and that was echoed by foreign minister mosse way. and the question was put to him about whether that would be the recognition of the government there. and mr. ma saying quite clearly that that had to be a consensual approach by many different countries that couldn't be the case. 31 country or 2 might go alone. clearly that might be seen by some as a very, to reference to the way that the united states government under successive administrations had approached afghanistan. we also heard since quite important. we also heard from both foreign ministers from secretary state and the foreign minister about iran. and the nuclear situation, the ongoing question about whether the united states will return to the agreement

that was broken by the bomber administration, of which of course, the current president biden was part of the vice president. we heard references there to the possibility of whether there will be a resumption of talks, whether that could be a return by the united states to that some reference from both ministers about what is possible, what is not possible. what sort of timeframe that might be. so clearly a wide ranging discussion discussion was held by these 2 to foreign ministers about the policy areas that they agree upon. and of course, on some they don't agree on alright, we'll leave it there for now. dominant came live 1st there in berlin, thanks to me and i will have much more on the reaction to what we just heard there in germany. people in afghanistan, i've been more positive about the new leadership as charles stratford reports now from common. we've been speaking to people on the streets of cobble for their

reaction to the announcement of this interim taliban administration. and by large, it's fair to say that the majority of them, whether they oppose the taliban or support them, are expressing a great sense of relief. there is a sense that finally there is potentially the opportunity despite the pressures on this country. i don't this administration to prove their that they're going to stick to their promises and protect human rights. potentially, people are saying, well, now we can start again. most importantly for them is security and getting food on the table for their families. interestingly, we've been speaking to a number of women as well. and we know that they know women being have been given portfolios in this administration. the women that we spoke to said that it is vital that women all given the opportunity to stand in this government and certainly in any future permanent government. because they say that women are going to best articulate their political needs within afghan society. we understand that

there is great support in the south of the country in helmand province around the city of kandahar for example. because of course, that is the 1st place if you like, of the top of there are some very real needs that need to be addressed to course the humanitarian situation here is in the words of the us close to being catastrophic. around 80000000 people needing humanitarian assistance every day. that's almost half the population. and we know that that humanitarian aid in afghan assets is being held up in western banks for example. because in the eyes of the international community, the taliban have to prove themselves before those kind of funds even begun to be released. the situation here in the capital is calm and all eyes now on this had ministration as to whether it will stick to its words and rebuild this country.

i've canister, the former president dash of ronnie has released the statement explaining why he fled. as the taliban advanced towards com. vonny says it was the only way to ensure peace in the capital, and he denies exports. he escaped with millions of dollars inside suitcases. ronnie says he's open to an official audit or a financial investigation monitored by the us. he served from 2014 and says he regrets his term ended without stability and prosperity. vonny apologize to all atkins for his failure. he's been granted political asylum in the united arab emirates. the security has been stepped up in the french capital for the trial of 20 men charged in the paris attacks. in 2015, the court proceedings began earlier on wednesday, $130.00 people were killed and hundreds injured in the violence in the french camp to one of the accused sla add to slam, believed to be the only surviving attack it has appeared for questioning. natasha

off, was shot dead by police on the night. 3 days later, police killed a man suspected to be the mastermind of the attack in a paris suburb. but it was 4 months before the man alleged to be the only surviving attacker was arrested sala, to slum, had been in hiding in belgium, sala. the salon is one of 20 accused in paris attacks trial. 6 will be tried in a cynthia proceedings will take place here in piracy is high court in a specially built courtroom. hundreds of witnesses are expected to testify among them survivors. this lawyer says that for the victim, it's been a long wait for justice to be honest. and under my own experience for victims, they can not put all these behind. it is very difficult, but it can helps them to go ahead and to know that ok, even after 6 long is there is

a try. and this is important. thomas says he's anxious about the trial, but hope that his testimony will help. others shows that i bought it, that the only thing i can do perhaps is to help others say like i do, i can be okay. and that motivates me to testify. the the trial is scheduled to last 9 months. it may shed more light on what happened that night. how the attacks were planned and whether they could have been prevented. years on harris's cafes and balls are busy, but reminders and memories of that night on never very far away. natasha butler, al jazeera paris. a breaking news from ethiopia is an hot region where reports a t good. i have rebels have killed at least 125 people. the killings are set to have happened over 2 days in a village near the town of w last week to ground forces deny the attacks calling it a fabricated allegation. moroccans have been voting for new members of parliament

if the policy or a government with 7 or a political party, there are 32 parties running in the election. it's hard to pick out any significant policy differences between any of those standard. once the votes are counted, the haggling influence in the coalition will begin and it took 3 to 4 months after the last the elections for a new government to emerge. but whoever ends up leading the parliament here will be expected to implement the king's policies, what he calls a new generation of reform and project at a new model of develop bonus points. i'll just say era for about human rights activists say indonesia, the criminal justice system needs urgent reform. that's after a fire sweat through an overcrowded jail. near the indonesian capital they killed at least $41.00 inmates an injured at least 70 thirties are investigating the cause of the blaze that broke out while inmates were sleeping. just washington reports from tangling on the outskirts of the indonesian capital fire fighters. battle

do we need to take much more into consideration that some of the area we are living in? we'll see these actually the band again and again. well, i understand the urgency that there is no time we can lose me, can't afford to do maladaptive action or respond to one crisis and then actually make another member as for example, taking action for climate change. but using biodiversity, so we need to see this as to say and then integrate to be. and we also need to recognize that everybody, s a citizen can always contribute. we need to know are this. we need to reduce our own list by taking off insurance by fact proofing, or how is this by stocking water or food, sir? the colonizing or still what everyone is can do by him or herself is important. ah.
