is in france to patch up ties after weeks of strained relations over a cancelled submarine deal. he spent french president manuel macro and a foreign minister general. literally an o sides have agreed that there is an opportunity to deepen cooperation. france expressed anger last month when australia tore up a multi $1000000000.00 defense deal, replacing it with a contract with the us and u. k. or french president micron said he hopes he can discuss the submarine issue with the us based on the facts. and i think we with kill to, to discuss together mid october. we will catch her during the t 20. and i think that would be the right occasion to see how we can ground gauge very concretely m. my point is not one of the i don't, it's not an issue about words or perception issue about facts and what to do to get in touch about her has more on this from bordeaux in slovenia. my call said that he

thought this dinner was a good opportunity for you. leaders to discuss the use position on the international stager. micro said, as far as he was concerned, he believes that you should work very closely with its historic allies, but it should remain more self reliant, may suffer in an area such as technology, the economy and defense. he said, now of course, this is the 1st time that the $27.00 you leaders come together since the diplomatic rout erupted between paris and washington over the aka steel that deal, that was signed by the u. s. u. k. and australia seemingly without any consultation from a european allies, certainly not with the french. the french, very upset by that. i know earlier today the french president had a meeting with you as secretary of state, anthony lincoln. in paris. the 2 are saying that they work together to cooperate in the future on, in certain areas. certainly the u. s. trying to rebuild trust with the french

president the u. k. has sent its 1st delegation to me with the taliban in kabul since to groups takeover of afghanistan, salmon gas. the u. k is a special representative for afghanistan held talks with the taliban deputy prime minister in labrador. a u. p. government spokesman says the envoy discussed how brittan could help us canister address the humanitarian crisis and raise the treatment of minorities and women. stephanie decker has more from kabul on what this meeting means. and certainly in line with what we've been hearing from, particularly the british foreign secretary dominic robin. he was in carter in doha, just a couple of weeks ago saying that they weren't going to recognize the taliban yet. but that dialogue was important. and i think this is what we're seeing now. certainly it is a significant visit. there is a dialogue. there is an open line of communication. and i think this is what the international community is doing. it's using this fact of international recognition

of the taliban as the, the legal official governing body of this country to try and put pressure on the group to adhere to certain a certain, you know, norms that they want to see as pick their, the rights of minorities. the rights of girls and women to go to school, to work, to stick to the agreement in the sense of, you know, making sure this is another thing they discussed today that afghanistan doesn't become what they call a safe haven for terrorists. so these are things that continually being discussed. i think this is what a lot of a foreign leaders have been saying and using is pressure on them with this legitimacy was sort of recognizing as a government to try and put pressure on them to adapt to certain things. we are at a time of course when the taliban is seeking that international legitimacy, they need the millions and millions of dollars in funds to help get this country forward at a time when you know the winter is looming and we've got an economic dire situation . people have no money, ah, there's drought, there's famine and all these kinds of things. so what you're seeing is a political dance, if you will, so to speak. i don't think it means or any closer to officially recognizing them as

the government, but a dialogue is in place and they also mentioned how the u. k. could help the humanitarian situation. that is something that still goes on when, well, i sal is claimed responsibility for sunday's blast outside a mosque in the african capital which killed 13 people. the taliban says it destroy the nicest cell in the north of cobble hours after the explosion. it was the largest attack since the u. s. troop withdrawal, iceland of canis found previously claimed responsibility for a suicide attack at campbell's airport in august, which killed about a $170.00 afghan civilians. and 13 u. s. soldiers. venezuela has reopened its land of border was columbia for the 1st time in nearly 3 years. it was closed by nicholas went around 2019 in the middle of a diplomatic crisis between the south american neighbors. but tens of thousands of venezuelans depend on crossing the border for basic goods and services every day.

a halt to trade between the 2 countries. that amounted to $7000000000.00 us dollars a year. columbia and president, yvonne duke welcomed the news, but said the reopening would be gradual. columbia studies wester. columbia is also willing to begin an orderly process so that we can guarantee this border crossing myself. but i am going to be very clear why this is not going to be done clumsily, and it is not going to be done. suddenly, tens of thousands of venezuelans crossed into columbia daily for goods and services . some 1800000 have re settled in columbia, fleeing the country's economic collapse most resorted to using illegal crossings, controlled by gangs unarmed groups. when i do r, m d added. the reopening can also help reduce the role that armed groups had achieved at the border. both colombians like ill and rebels and paramilitaries, and also then as well and gangs who were profiting from people's needs to cross and go on tuesday,

venezuelans were overjoyed there that land. it's the best thing that has happened to us. we spent 2 years passing through illegal roads as we have so many needs that we can only fulfill in columbia. the decision will bring relief to people on both sides of the border by the will probably do little to help restore relations between the 2 countries. there remain at odds. columbia does not recognize my daughter as the legitimate president of venezuela, and it continued to support efforts to push for regime change in the country. allison ramp yet the al jazeera over with her still to come here and al jazeera, arising complex systems and climate modeling. when 3 physicists a nobel prize, ah

a product of massive anti government protests that swept the country in 2019 the cat. 4 candidates. the big challenge will be engaging with voters disillusioned by years of unemployment and the lack of basic services. and the hashem has worn out from baghdad. it hasn't been an easy ride for iraq's politicians to win over people's hearts and minds. so they are doing everything they can to secure votes in the upcoming elections. and as it is the case these days, social media plays a huge part in the campaign. more than 60 percent of iraqis are online and active on social media because it's the easiest and the cheapest way to reach to the people. and especially we can choose our young people, one man and people they can, they cannot afford maybe to have good electricity to watch tv over time. ah,

but after the 2019 anti government demonstrations that saw 100 soft protesters killed, the real challenge is convincing people to cast their votes. so we are using on social media to encourage people to go to vote, because this is number one. before we ask them to whom they vote, we should we ask them to go and vote what there is resistance. some social media influences are calling for a boycott of the elections, because they say politicians need to have better policies to tackle iraq's challenges. davila honey. good ali fatherly famous satire shore presenter with hundreds of thousands of followers is one of them is using social media to promote his anti election stance kellum than if you're and, and want to handle. he, the more we criticize the candidates, the more they're going to push back it different ways to win. i'm therefore very pessimistic about the outcome. and when i tackle this issue, i'm not going to vote and will call on people to boycott. jama distal occlusal
