uprooted fears about the erosion of basic christ in particular for women and girls, despite assurances from the taliban and about to return to cruel punishments for certain crimes, everybody will be safe, nobody's kid will be kidnapped again to ransom. now together, they're feeling their way forward into their new reality. ah, high level representatives of the thought a bomb, me to you asked delegation and caught thought the 1st such talks since america's afghan withdrawl. ah, i'm sammy's a dan. this is al jazeera alive from dell hall. so coming up, china's president, she ging ping again,

promised his re unification with taiwan. but avoids the direct mention of using force. ah, a day off to 6 people were shot and killed that the libyan immigration detention center. police look for 2000 refugees, migrants who escaped, plus. i'm good smith in moscow where kobe looked down and rising social inequality that led to an explosion in the popularity of been a complaint. with the 1st such face to face talks between the tale bonham, the us since foreign forces left afghanistan started in doha. the high level caught up on delegation, led by acting foreign minister i me and han multi arrived in cut those capital on friday. meetings are planned on saturday and monday. do

a 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 killed more than 60 people, surely will speak to us our binge of aid about what's been going on in cobble in the lead up to these talks. but 1st we can go over to natasha. her name, she is live for us from doha. so natasha, understand the talks of began. well, what are the expectations from these talks? the diplomatic dance begins, there are 2 other between the 2 sides. there is a very wide chasm and it's clear only major concessions are going to bring the 2 sides together. on the eve of these meetings, both sides have issued statements about what these meetings are and what they are

not from the americans point of view. what this meeting is, is a continuation quote of pragmatic entanglements with the taliban on issues of vital national security. what it is not according to a us official, is quote, granting legitimacy or conferring recognition to the taliban. the u. s. official goes on to say that we are very clear that with regards to conferring legitimacy to the taliban, it will be based on their actions and that the taliban needs to establish a sustained track record. now the taliban comes to doha with money and security on its mind. afghan is heavily reliant on international aid. there is a, an evolving humanitarian crisis there. and they're dealing with security reeling now from it to bombings that killed dozens of people in the last week. coming in to the meeting, a tile about official said that we're ready for quote inclusivity,

but not selectivity. and that the international community needs to respect the wishes of the afghan people. that is likely a reference to the fact that the united states and the international community have been pressuring the taliban as it forms its transitional government to create a more diverse one ones with minorities and women. the taliban for its part says it has added minorities to the government and that quote, women will be added later. now at the table, as you mentioned, the acting foreign minister representing the taliban and other senior leaders. but at the table for the united states are members diplomats from the see department, members of usa idea and the intelligence community. and we can probably expect them to be pressing on a couple of things. for now, the u. s. is very focused on trying to allow a safe passage for thousands of allies to the united states who are afraid of

taliban reprisals and are desperate to get out of the country. they will also continue to press the taliban on preserving the rights of women and girls. now here is where the taliban and the united states can have some common ground and that is on the issue of security. neither one of these entities wants to see a rise of i saw in afghanistan, i saw in afghanistan has claimed responsibility for these 2 bombings in afghanistan in the last week or so. and the united states is very focused on ensuring that the situation remains secure enough in the country. that it won't, we won't see a repeat of what happened pre $911.00, that the country will not deteriorate into a safe haven for armed group. so it could be over the next 2 days that this coming together of the 2 groups, which i clearly are not friends that coming together over the next 2 days. it is security that could lay the foundation of

a working relationship between the biden administration. and this transitional government in afghanistan. all right, thanks so much natasha. remain there updating awesome talks from doha. let us go now live to a sound. bon jovi joins us from the afghan capital kabul. and just getting to this point of sitting down a bit ago, shooting table, it's been a bit of a process, hasn't osama bring us through the process of why it's been so complicated? well, it has been a roller coaster ride for the last few weeks. will old sides involved there is a major involvement tear for all from the country, capital. doha, where these talks are taking place for the 1st time after the taliban stake over the taliban, looking at the united states as a force which was in the country as an occupier. and they defeated it after 20 years. and the united states looking at taliban as an amalgamation of entities and individuals who are prescribed terrorists. so coming together and sitting on the

table face to face was a difficult task. we know that got very special on why was shuttling between doha new york, a cobble and other places to try and get them to the table. and it is very interesting that the taliban who were earlier telling us that they will not come to the negotiating table until the u. s. it goes back to its agreement, signed in doha, and lift the sanctions on some taliban leaders and make sure that there are no drone strikes or ariel violations of its sovereignty. the united states seeing the taliban need to prove themselves, they have not done enough on the intelligence side of things. there are other on groups that are operating and understand which thought yvonne deny. so it is an interesting line up that you see there in does capital. i am the father of capital doha, where people are not just from the foreign ministry. they are the taliban spy, chief of milan overseer, because they're about deputy indeed administered. is there the man who was tossed

by mullah omar tyler bonds founder a to establish the political office in the is there because the taliban realize that they cannot operate without the foreign funding which is needed for millions of african people? and they also realize that they will have to make concessions. but as you've heard earlier, the adamant that they are going to talk about bringing other aspects of the afghan society into the fold of this interim government. and they said that this is a government which is going to be put in place permanently, asked the wills of i've got people, whether it is in an election, but there is the the establishment of assure a council. it all remains to be seen but ordered all for the 1st time. these 2 sides sitting together after a while and now talking about thrashing out their differences and getting that very essential aid to millions of afghan people who are really ahead of a severe winter. and this by the reaching an agreement and implementing an agreement, still some obstacles to that taking place, right?

absolutely. so as the, as i mentioned that these sides look at each other very, very differently. so they'll have to bridge that divide. and the only thing that seems to be coinciding between those 2 sides is the issue of security. as you've seen iceland taking responsibility for the carnage in conduce just 24 hours ago. where a mosque was targeted by a suicide bomber who bloomed self up in the middle of friday. pres, balaban leaders and taliban fighters have been targeted in the eastern provinces of none to her on the outskirts of cobbled city. and we're seeing more and more taliban checkpoints appearing in the city of cobbled. so again, these 2 sides can come together on at least the issue of eisen, but how do you go about it? will they allow us drones to operate on of land territory? will there be any sort of intelligence sharing? there are intelligence officials from both sides present in the room. what does it translate to remains to be seen and it is important to note that in the lead up to

this, i thought about and he does have also been meeting not just the united states, but regional powers as well. their allies from the east and the west pakistan in iran. they've also been meeting european leaders as well. so it is a reach out effort from the taliban looking for legitimacy and the international community using the much needed aid by the afghan people as a bargaining chip to make sure that the taliban delivers on its promises more. i'm sorry, i've been grades from the afghan capsule, chinese president, she ging thing, as again promised there will be peaceful re unification with taiwan. she spoke at the ceremony marking a 110 years since the end of china's imperial rule. he avoided previous rhetoric that included using force against taiwan, of the island as commander, growing military and political pressure to accept chime as sovereignty. in the past week, nearly 150 chinese warplanes have breached ty wants s face. rob mcbride is following developments from hong kong. these comments by president she jane pain came at an

event to mark the 1911 revolution which saw the end of dynastic rule by china's emperors and the birth of modern china. it is an event that is marked both in mainland china and also in taiwan. and is the obvious opportunity for chinese leaders to bring up this vision of re unification whereby territories are returned to the motherland as we have seen with macau and hong kong. within theory, taiwan being next, she called for the peaceful re unification with taiwan. but warned that there should be no foreign interference. basically, this being taken as a warning to the us not to get involved. he also had a very stern warning for anybody in taiwan who might be considering taking the path of actual independence. fully a good job of taiwan independence is the greatest obstacle to national unification

and a grave danger. the national ruge of relation goes to forget their heritage, betrayed their motherland and seek to split the country. oh, it will come to no good and they will be scorned by the people when condemned by history. taiwan marks its national day on sunday with an administration and the people who are by and large set against any talk of re unification. especially in the face of increasing tensions and the incursions by nearly a 150 a war plains from mainland china. a week ago, in statements issued on saturday, a taiwan called on bay ging to abandon what it described as provocative intrusions and harassment saying that the future of the island rests in the hands of its people. so i had an al jazeera why rock semi autonomous kurdish region could be a game changer as a country gears up for parliamentary elections. and how naming an elephant is part

a couple of years. of these people were put in to detention centers, one of which was the elma banning detention center in the area of child 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 it, 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 group all of the, of 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 capitol of tripoli. now, according to the i o, m 6 migrants were killed in this particular incident. and there's an estimated o 600000 african migrants in libya at the moment of light. libya has long been
