1:00 pm
countries you check october on al jazeera with tiny hidden cameras. criminals are illegally filming, and sharing people's most intimate moments. when you investigate south korea's by coming the demick on algebra, ah, this is al jazeera ah. hello and welcome. i'm peter darby. you're watching the news. i live from doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes, high level representatives of the taliban are to meet a u. s. delegation and cat are the 1st such talks since america's afghan withdrawal . china's president she ging thing again promises re unification with taiwan,
1:01 pm
but avoids a direct mention of using force. ah, the day after 6 people were shot and killed of the libyan immigration detention center. the police look for 2000 refugees and migrant. suv escaped also this, our, the new naming initiative that kenny hopes will save elephant lives and it's struggling tourism industry. is for emma read a con or is that 1st night since her us open child that has ended the end defeat? the 18 now that britain know was beaten in straight sets at indian wells. ah, who begin this? oh, with the 1st face to face talks, but in the taliban and the united states, since foreign forces left afghanistan,
1:02 pm
the high level taliban delegation led by the acting foreign minister. a mere con. we're talking arrived in doha, on friday meetings, planned and the cat re capital across the weekend. the u. s. state department says the taliban will be pushed on issues including evacuation flights and how it's guaranteeing the rights of women girls and minorities. security is another big talking point, particularly the threat posed by i saw in afghanistan, the arm groups latest attack in a sheer mosque on friday, kill more than 60 people will speak more about that as act shortly with stephanie decker who's in cobble while of some a binge of aide and natasha going m a covering the diplomacy for us this hour. let's go live to natasha. who's in doha. so natasha the optics of these discussions . radically different. so a couple of months ago. yes, but nonetheless,
1:03 pm
everything is being kept under wraps. even the location of these 2 day meetings going into the 2 day talks and american spokesman with the afghan mission said they will be off limits to the media, perhaps an indication and a way to sort of temper expectations for any kind of a breakthrough already american officials are framing this as, quote, a continuation of quote engagements with the taliban on issues of vital national interest. now the taliban has described their delegation as quote, high level. as you mentioned, it is being led by the acting foreign minister. on the american side, there are diplomats from the state department, members of u. s. a. i d, and the intelligence community, notably absent, is zelma colonial that they pardon me colonial the day he was america's top point person. when it came to negotiations with the taliban. he is not here as far
1:04 pm
as we know. so for the next 2 days, it's clear that there will be a diplomatic dance. there is a chasm between the 2 sides and only concessions can bring them closer. the taliban comes to doha for sure. with money on its mind, it needs international foreign aid. it wants sanctions against its members to be lifted and it wants its assets to be frozen. the united states and the taliban have common ground though, on the issue of security. the united states is very concerned about afghanistan and becoming a safe haven for armed groups. and as you mentioned in the last week, there have been 2 bombings. a responsibility was claimed by iceland, afghanistan, that have killed doesn't. so there is definitely some common ground there, but expect the united states to push afghan lee is on a issues of human rights on allowing the thousands of afghans who are afraid of the
1:05 pm
taliban, and afraid of reprisals who are still desperately trying to get out of the country united states is also asking for a smoother flow of humanitarian aid, and specifically to allow female humanitarian aid workers to do their jobs unimpeded. they'll be looking to the taliban, i'm sure pressing them on the diversity of its government. now the taliban says that it has added minorities to it's a government that it's forming and that women quote will come later. coming in to the talks, an official said that the taliban is quote, ready for inclusivity, but not selectivity. and that the international community needs to respect the afghan people's wishes. the united states is going to continue no doubt to press the taliban leaders on a concern about an erosion of rights for women and girls. but in the, in the onset, this is definitely a coming together getting to know the players and trying to find some common
1:06 pm
grounds so that the 2 sides can come together. certainly on issues of security and certainly on issues of humanitarian assistance with a situation in afghan continuing to deteriorate. natasha, thank you very much. no such a good number for us in our life. not to cobble and correspondent osama bin debate . so a sama, we now understand these discussions have actually begun. they are sitting down at this location someplace in the country capital. is it your sense the in cobble? but the taliban is prepared to make concessions. all they prepared to change their 50 percent of the narrative. here for peter, this has been weeks in the making. we've been speaking to taliban leaders in the last few days and the lead of to the folks are there has been a lot of diplomacy behind these folks that have been taking face gone close doors. they've got 3 special envoy making trips to new york, asking the americans to come on board. then traveling to cobbled, asking the other bond to make concessions. they were earlier. we had
1:07 pm
a chat with data bandito who said that unless the united states so fulfills its promises as it signed up as part of the last year, the whole agreement there is going to be no talk. so there is going into these talk . there has been confessions which would be made, but i don't think that we are expecting any major outcomes. just the fact of them sitting across each other on the table talking to each other as a, as, as both countries, both parties in charge of their respective domains is a major development in this regard. and it is a very interesting line up that the foreign minister with becky has taken with him here with him is the deputy interior minister with him. is this by chief of the taliban. with him is the man who was sanctioned by mona omar himself to set up the political office and thunderbolt. so there are going to be discussions not just with the americans, but the white international community has been in the preceding hours. you've seen the thought of bonds it envoy designated to the united nations meeting ambassadors from all over the globe. he's been meeting european union leaders even meeting
1:08 pm
united nations need has been meeting leaders from the region parties who are also involved in this process. so it is going to be an interesting development just to see, could the taliban are meeting? what are their demands and how does the international community, which is again, the thought about has been saying is holding crucial vital aid for millions of ogden people as a bargaining chip asana. many thanks to some of the injury there for us and cobble also in cobble is another algebra correspondence. stephanie deca. steph. such a difficult, challenging, well period of 48 hours now since the events of friday. what's the latest on the security situation that what i think it's become clear that there is a security situation here. i so k is expanded its operations that attack deadly attack on the she mos can in calendars during friday prayers. the 1st of its kind in that area and as you heard earlier as well,
1:09 pm
we had just in the last week another attack here on a mosque at the entrance of the mosque where a senior leaders of the taliban were gathered amid strict security it. so it is clear that i sl k is expanding its operations here against the taliban against civilian targets in of course, you know, what's interesting is that part of the doha agreement is that the americans have always said that the taliban needs to ensure that this country doesn't become what it calls, a safe haven for terrorists in the sense of launching attacks internationally. now the taliban ideology has always been not to look beyond its borders. it's always been just afghanistan, but when it comes deisel kay, this is a group i. so, of course, is the afghanistan's part of it has different tactics, if you will. now, having eradicated them in terms of geography, from sera in iraq, took a lot of coalition air power firepower, intelligence, air strikes in syria and iraq. that is something that at the moment the taliban say they don't, once i think is going to be interesting. when we see these discussions, of course, the americans in each national community will be looking at this as
1:10 pm
a concerning development. i think we'll have to wait and see whether if at all a be any cooperation the taliban will tell you. no, but i think, you know, moving for it'll be interesting to see what they're going to be discussing over the next 48 hours. steph, many thanks. stephanie and i could also reporting that for his life, the news out of cobbled we move on, the chinese president, she ging ping has again promised that there will be quotes peaceful re unification with taiwan. mister, she speaking at a ceremony mocking a 110 years since the end of china's imperial rule. he avoided previous rhetoric that included using force against taiwan. but the island has come on to growing military and political pressure to accept chinese sovereignty. in the last week, nearly a 150 chinese warplanes had breached taiwanese airspace room on hand. tony the li, she's young. the complete reunification of our country must be and can be realised . unification is the hope of all chinese people. if china can be unified,
1:11 pm
whole chinese will enjoy happier life if china can't unify, every one will suffer. auto sales correspondence, rob mcbride, following developments out of hong kong for us this out. so rob, the significance of mr. she's remarks to we think is an interesting mix of remarks from shading pain, calling for this peaceful re unification. of course, this is the long standing vision of all chinese leaders to bring back to the mother land. these different territories, as we're seeing with macau, hong kong next in line would be taiwan entrusting use of words. they're not using the word force, but he has used threats of before in an earlier addresses. and of course, there is this a implied threat from china that if they're taiwan ever got to the stage of seeking official independence, it would intervene militarily to stop it from doing that basically taking over the islander and go invading it. and so he spoken about sir about the, the,
1:12 pm
a warning against any moves towards independence as saying that anybody who sought to split the country would come to no good. and he said, i'd also having a warning for any outside interference. this clearly directed at the united states saying that this is just an internal chinese affair to be settled by a chinese people and for the us to stay away. now this all came at an anniversary event for the 1911 revolution, which basically marked the end of feudal china, the end of the dynastic rule of china's emperors and the that the heralded the birth of modern china. it also followed in that 1912 where the creation of the republic of china, which of course lives on today in the modern day government of taiwan. ok, he didn't talk about use of force. rob didn't talk about using the military, but this comes against the background of rising tensions. what over the past? 22 and a bit weeks, i mean, chinese aircraft don't breech,
1:13 pm
taiwanese air space by mistake. do they? yeah, and it said these remarks have not go gone down to well in taiwan, taipei is gearing up for the celebration of its national day, which will be on sunday. and of course, that there is an administration there at the moment that has very little interest in reification. and by and large the people of taiwan are not that interested in closer ties, especially when they have observed with some alarm. what's been taking place in hong kong in recent months and with the build up in these tensions, it hardly endears d as a china towards the island of taiwan, which was only last weekend that we saw these waves of aircraft being sent from mainland china up to the island of taiwan into something called the air defense identification zone, but still a very provocative act. and in fact, on sat saturday, the at taiwan issued
1:14 pm
a number of statements calling on beijing to stop what a cold, provocative intrusions and harassment and issuing a further statement. just reminding china that the future of the island will be settled. it says by its people. rob, thanks so much. rob mcbride, there are correspondence in hong hong. plenty more grounds still to cover for you here on the news are including why iraq's semi autonomous kurdish region could be a game changer as the country gears up for parliamentary elections. also, i'm going to smith in moscow where cove it look down the rising social inequality of lead to an explosion, and the popularity of benefits and in sport to major league baseball is great rivals are meeting in the playoffs. the 1st time santa has the details with that in the sports limit. i
1:15 pm
about 2000 refugees and my grants are in hiding after escaping from a libyan detention center. video posted online shows people running out into the street on friday. at least 6 people was shot and killed by gods during the keels of the past week or so. thousands of migrants were rounded up in a major crack done on a trainer, joins us from tripoli, mac, how can 2000 people have managed to stage an escape? well, as you said, peter, this comes after a week of after, uh, the, the security operation that was carried out about a week ago by the security services here in the town of good gathers thousands of migrants and refugees were rounded up in what many described as the most severe crackdown on migrants refugees and libya in the last a couple of years. these people were put in to detention centers, one of which was the elma band detention center in the area of child
1:16 pm
a few kilometers a to the west of tripoli. and they're often a and very overcrowded and poor conditions. um, you know, we spoke to a couple of migrants last week on wednesday when we visited a detention center. and they said they're under fed that they're, they're not treated very well. so i think what we saw yesterday was a, a, a group all of the, uh, the, the, a large group of migrants in this particular detention center are rising up as being able to escape. and it really, we, as you can see in the video, just causing chaos in the capital of tripoli. now, according to the r u. m 6, my grants were killed in this particular incident. and there's an estimated o 600000 african migrants in libya at the moment. a light, libya has long been a transit hub for migrants trying to reach european shores. and so what we saw
1:17 pm
yesterday just shows that the government really can't cope with the influx of people that they're putting into these detention centers of 44000 migrants have reached europe in 2021 alone or 25000 have been brought back from the mediterranean sea to libya and put in these detention centers and very poor conditions are. so it's cause a lot of alarm with the you and hcr with the i o. m. i and also uh, previously, uh, people put in this detention centers, or there was a voluntary repatriation program that would see them go back to their countries. according to the i u. one that's been suspended, which means that these people are often times stuck for months on end, or perhaps years in these are very overcrowded and poor conditions in this detention center. malik, thank you very much. malik train of the in tripoli. saudi arabia says who the rebels of launch to drone attacks from yemen towards an airport in the kingdom suff
1:18 pm
. both drones was said to be carrying explosives. the 1st launched on friday, wounded 10. people react says the 2nd was intercepted by air defenses. early on saturday. the iranian back, who sees, have not claimed responsibility to kenyana, nairobi the government, they're launching a new conservation, dr. offering people the chance to name an elephant for around $5000.00. the country needs the money to continue the fight against poachers. catherine sawyer reports now from am for sally national park in southern kenya. this is one of the most photographed landscape. they'd canyon elephants and other wildlife roam freely attracting thousands of tourists every year. and we're selling, national park is also the heart of conservation works that have seen poaching in canyon nearly eliminated. we have a very good relationship with kenneth left service, or whenever there is an artist where they may,
1:19 pm
the community renters. they work very closely with the, with the kent police, the work root canal of service to ensure that the porters area is really received to whatever penalties they're supposed to. in the last 4 years, the elephant population in kenya has grown by 2000 to about 36000. so this is the closest we've actually come to one of the larger hearts here in i'm with alien, it's really quite breathtaking. the ranges here tell us that the incidents of poaching have gone down significantly over the last few years, but there are other emerging threats, climate change resulting to frequent drought loss of habitat. and we have humans settlements around the parks. this is causing quite a concern and they say these are the silent killers across amber sally and into several east national park. they call this the elephant graveyard of a 4000 joules of elephants are kept here. but this elephants warren killed by
1:20 pm
poachers. there remains a here to serve as a reminder of what droughts can do. with these wildlife research says rivers are drying up. humans settlements are taking over migratory corridors and elephant are becoming increasingly isolated to the main probe. now use the issue of climate turns. i think that the main thing better can talk about kazer is the one which is now shrinking the habit of who might have the elephant numbers increasing. but if you don't have the proper habitat for them, that is the main challenge of the moment. the poachers bullet and poisoned arrow may largely be things of the past, but this iconic creatures still find themselves in danger of extinction. katherine saw al jazeera and was sally national park in southern kenya. ok, let's stay with us story. joining us here on the news, our is no jeep bella kenya's, cabinet secretary for tourism. he joins us from the under solid national park minister, bella, welcome to al jazeera,
1:21 pm
how many people are getting involved in signing up to the scheme around the world. we're live our target in the next one here is about a $1000.00 a $1000000.00 to be collected through this sir. and elephant naming your festival sore. yes sir, we have collected or we have collected almost $200000.00 in the last 2 months. so yes, we are going to achieve our target by june next year. who gets to choose the name? well, if us we have ha, bunch of elephants in terms of for the big task because we have the twins as well. and then we have single elephants and bought from maryland female. then we give you the chance, however, managed to all donita to $5000.00 by elephant. then chooses the name and that name is recorded and we have all the data for the elephant and we share this to the
1:22 pm
person who has named elephant. how close are you to being able to use the money, assuming you get that $1000000.00. how close are you to be able to defeat the poachers? well 1st of all, the the porters 2 days porter is a consult uh, very sophisticated porter. and we need to address it from the demand to supply. so we need to stop the demand, which is the market, which is the biggest, much had before was china, but now a china has closed that market. so now we're asking japan to close the market and european union as we have to close the market. the minute there is no market, there'd be nor supply. so that is the dynamic or for the poaching industry. but yes, we have put a very strong force under the king a while of service to look at her anti fortune program. we have invested heavily in the last 30 years in anti porting programs as well and equipments as well. but
1:23 pm
their key issue today he's not have in poaching. we have managed to 1014. the key issue is climate change and human while left. currently, the problem is that we have increased numbers from 34236000 in the last couple of years. but yes, again, habitat is a problem. climate change is an issue issue over a land use. a tenure is an issue as well as well as again competition from agriculture and human settlement. those are the real issues and our $1000000.00 that we are going to raise year is not going to be enough. but it is as a testimony that we can be able to mitigate before it happened a came in the morning which holler just to interrupt you for a 2nd wisdom to try and understand because we are coming to the at the end of our time, you're talking there about an agricultural use that could be changed by government policy. you're talking about people, i guess encroaching communities for understandable reasons on the natural habitat of the elephants. the other big thing in the room surely is climate change with
1:24 pm
extra money. you cannot make the rain come, you cannot make the rivers full. how do you spend money to compensate for that? well, we need to plan trees. we need to make sure that we stop people from doing agriculture our along deliver, believe aside. so these are mitigating arrangements and measures that we want to, to put in place, so that it can mitigate climate change. at what point will you know if it's been a success or not? you know, katherine saw you used the figure there yourself 36000 catherine was talking about that in her report. are we talking about 40045050000 elephants. where we still need to evaluate what is the cutting capacity of the country. i give you an example here. animal said national park 20 years ago. we did a full estrogen program. we actually fenced parts of the park and planted trees.
1:25 pm
this way these numbers have gone up. since then s or yes, emitter getting out arrangements and measures for or on climate change can be able to increase the numbers of elephants. how much money do do you make from tourism in the last 18 months, 2 years the the impact of cov, it must have completely decimated people coming to the country to go on those very popular, an elephant safaris. well our budget to run the national wildlife service is about $70000000.00 before copy the we used to generate almost 60 percent of that from tourism. but to during covered we lost all that we can hardly generate $10000000.00 now. so we anticipate that winner towards him, his back will be able to do it much more. but meanwhile, the government has stepped into bailout for the service so that we can still keep conservation, as well as support communities,
1:26 pm
still paying salaries for the lenders who are around the park instead of inside the pack on the great to get your thoughts on this good news story, i guess, hopefully it'll get better as well. nat geo baller at kenya's cabinet. secretary for tourism. thank you very much. thank you peter. to russia where bare knuckle boxing has surged in popularity because of the kobe lockdown for the fighters. it offers an escape from a stagnant economy that is making life difficult. bernard smith reports from moscow . oh, it's brutal, bloody unfortunately, brief. banner cal boxing has exploded in popularity in russia. in the past 2 years . the organizers put that down to penta progression from a struggling economy and cove. 19 pavel shall ski is one of the current champions and the man to beat from a small russian town. he's not working at the moment, slamming a thought. rochester, loaded with the hardest part of the fight, is when you're waiting for the judge's decision, i enjoy the fight. i put a lot of work into it. training for one or 2 months for the sake of 3 rounds of 2

1:28 pm
effectively releasing anger and frustration. several fighters were knocked to the floor while we filmed, and at least one left in an ambulance. but the organizes claim it's less dangerous and gloved boxing weather a more punches. and so, more risks of long term brain damage that i'm not my back. a russian doctor told al jazeera any strike to the head is dangerous and could cause out time isn't of a life threatening injuries. as for what the fight is earn, no one would give us a figure. only say that paid handsomely for all the blood. they spin. bernard smith, al jazeera moscow. still to come human usa for you short of cash and looking for help the taliban goals on the international community for assistance. the rwandan forces pushed him out of it following a heavy battle and you can see the remains of it closes blown, the roof of this building in the bullet holes in the iron sheets. floss

1:30 pm
a 100 millimeters of rain is expected to fall in some areas. on sunday, the wind picks up of croatia that bore a wind is why the damaging we've got to red warning out for that. but to the west of this, it is looking fina and dryer for much the iberian peninsula, western areas of europe, and into the north west of britain and island. we have got quite a bit of cloud cover. no temperatures in this area have been above average. well, they are going to come down as autumn goes into full swing next week. if we have a look at the 3 day for london, it is going to be rather cloudy with the temperature dipping down to the mid teens . no farther north of this, for norway, we are seeing some heavy rain. we could see flooding from that. but for the east we got plenty of fine and dry weather, with sunshine for western russia. ah, i'll just see a world's research. it is easy and firmly facing i can noisily.
