when and ellison life off to conflict on al jazeera, a lot of the stories that we cover a highly complex. so it's very important that we make them as understandable as we can as al jazeera correspondence. that's what we strive to do with . ready the taliban says it hopes to turn a new page in relations with united states in the 1st meetings and taking charge of afghanistan. ah, well, again, i'm come all santa maria here and doing how this is the world news from al jazeera . the u. n. is wanting its facilities in libya are at breaking point. it's hundreds of refugees and migrant seek help and re settlements. the rwandan forces pushed him out of it following a heavy battle and you can see the remains of it. explosives have blown the roof

office building in the bullet holes in the eye and sheets we gain access in northern mozambique after regional forces push out al shabanni. and people in western argentina are blaming oil companies for the rising number off earthquakes. ah, said the turbines talking about doing a new page with the united states as they hold their 1st face to face discussions, taking power in afghanistan, the acting foreign minister, american. we'll talk a who leads this? taliban delegation says they have discussed aid ever urged the americans to lift the ban on at central bank reserves as well. before the maids in the u. s. said it was going to push the taliban on his shoes, including evacuation flights, as well as the what the rights of women and minorities, of course, security is a big talking point as well, particularly the threat posed by i still in afghanistan. remember,

the on group attacked a sheer mosque on friday, killing more than 60 people. so let's start with natasha. her name here and ohio. with more on the talks, the acting foreign minister in afghanistan did a relief, a statement to the media late this afternoon. but let's take a moment to consider the fact that a mere few months ago, what we saw or what we were hearing happened today in doha, would not have been imaginable. former adversaries on the battlefield with 2 decades of distrust. now representing 2 governments coming together, looking for some kind of consensus around a conference table. there was a chasm between the 2 and now this diplomatic dance begins for each side to begin to find some concessions and perhaps edge closer together. before an acting foreign minister has said that he does want positive relations with the united states, that there should be a mutual commitment while also issuing

a warning that no one should quote, weaken the government of afghanistan, or interfere in its sovereignty and create problems. he also issued a call to the international community for it to assist with its economic woes. they come to doha with the weight of governance of a country in crisis. back in afghanistan, funerals have been taking place in the north for the victims of the bombing and condos, which we mentioned earlier. o families gathered to moon the dead. the attack apparently carried off by a single suicide bomber. more than a 100 people were wounded. telephones had a security in kinder says the attack was intended to stir up divisions between ship and sunni, his mo, from hash my help are, he's in muslim. sharif close to candace, today was a day of grief and warning in plunder where families had to bury the loved ones who

were killed in the blast in they are in the mosque yesterday. now. it was also a moment of shock for the people there who was saying, why are these people perpetrating those acts of violence against innocent worshippers who were gathering in a most for the friday prayers. hospitals were overwhelmed with the numbers over the injured and many remain in critical condition. and this is why people are worried that the death toll could further climb. in the coming days. now, many world leaders came out expressing solidarity with the families and a saying that the international committee should step in and should prosecute those behind the attack. now i, selina flat is then claimed responsibility for the attack, a clear act of defiance against the taliban, who said that they would beat,

trying to restore and establish safety and security across a lot is than we we've been taught by taliban officials that we have beefed up beefed up or security in the city of condos and that they are determined to crack down on ice in enough light is on. but this is going to be definitely an extremely delicate moment for the taliban, because hundreds of our i sales operatives have been highly trained over the last 2 years. and they have managed to set up hobbs in different parts of the country, shall about goblet, and also in condos. one at the note and explosion in younger ha province eastern afghanistan has killed the governor of the local district. 3 of his guards were wounded. an explosive device had been planted on the side of the road. no group has claimed responsibility. we move on to libya where you and refugee office has been forced to close stuff to being overwhelmed by hundreds of people seeking re settlement. the you and hcr reserve during the government to resume humanitarian

flights that have been suspended for most of this year. a day of the around 2000 migrants escaped from a detention center. and tripoli has federico soda. now, the chief of mission of the international organization for migration in libya, he says, authorities to often react with violence. when tensions arrives. we often have loss of life in areas that are supposed to be under the control of the authorities. whether they're detention centers or dis, and bartman points after they've been picked up at sea. but we haven't seen anything of this scale in some time, fortunately, but we're absolutely devastated by the indiscriminate use of live ammunition inside the perimeter of a detention center resulting in 6 steps. we have received no explanation that the statements that the government is put out or not explaining anything about the incident that they're there justifying the use of excessive force during the raids

to indiscriminately around people up. i think it's just, it's indicative of the fact that the government doesn't have full control over these facilities. it didn't, it didn't have the capacity to deal with a heavy inflow of migrants following the raids and all too often when the situation gets tense, bullet start flying, and, and people get at least hurt and often killed. mozambique we nearly 800000 people were displaced in the north of the country during a 4 year civil, 4 year conflict, i should say, i'll show bob fighters targeted the resorts rich region until rwandan forces helped push them out. now people are waiting for it to be safe enough for them to return to their homes. malcolm webb has our report from bow in the north. we found

neurology uses sitting by the roadside. he'd been hiding in a nearby forest for weeks, fearing for his life by now. he showed us around the village and that for now is home here in northern mozambique and of but it's not his every one here also fled. he sleeps in one of the abandoned homes. people have been running away from an armed group called al. sure, bab, notorious for beheading and abducting people, or mac, india, and avoiding i don't know where exactly they've all gone, but they must still be hiding in the forest. because when you leave, when you have to hide in the forest, you have to run directly. you cannot stop because if they find you, if they find you and they will kill you more in the last 3 months, rwandan soldiers have fought the armed group out of the towns. it controlled in cupboard delgado province, the supporting mozambique government that had been losing ground in most towns. the armed group retreated into the forests as the rwandan forces advanced. in

a few places like the armed groups headquarters in the town of m bow, they fought, the rwandan forces pushed him out of it following a heavy battle. and you can see the remains of it. explosives have blown the roof of this building in the bullet holes in the iron sheets on the floor. you can see the remains of the shopkeepers property, all of the people that used to live here. and now wondering if or when it will be safe for them to come home. around 700000 people have been displaced by the conflict. we met some scattered around the towns and villages. when the ruined an army took us to visit the places it now controls the area that we revisited together is pacified and we are returning id is back to their homes and working closely with them was on beacon and me to ensure that we conduct continuous security operations, most of the displaced or encamped where they are given some food and other help.

the un says many areas still aren't safe for people to go back. d or military accompanying b returns. the voluntary returns of the of civilians is not ideal. um, obvious the, this can lead to these served the civilians being a targeted and of course, associate return movements with, with military aims cover. delgado was extremely poor even before the conflict began . 4 years ago. the mozambique and state was largely absent that fuel discontent. as did preparations to extract tens of billions of dollars worth of nearby offshore natural gas. french oil giant total suspended his operations because of the conflict. people here have been in need of government help for generations. now they'll need even more help to return to what's left of their homes. malcolm

forces are really mobilizing the support that they need to really move forward. and perhaps try to claim while was taken by the t p. i left a few months ago. they said it was a negotiated, it was just announced by the job and side, they never accepted it. they called it a bad joke, quote, unquote. so it was never accepted and, and the conflict really continued and the t peer left started moving from their region, the to gray region. moving to the fiery region them higher region and really begun to be more engaged. military wise was friends that never has been explained and they've started gaining towns and villages. and that really put if you're in a very compromising position and that's why perhaps the top and side try to regroup and come back. and this is the action that has been anticipated for a while from them. in the news ahead.

mismanagement, and foreign medlink in iraq suffers, was only 70. and he joined them here and it will be done on a good then, and then i'm gay. and she at the beginning we were hoping to force a change. we made some baby steps than they confronted us with violence. they killed a lot of young people. so people deserted the demonstrations and demands weren't met at the time. he was thrilled to be part of the anticipated change. what now he says he feels stock between hope and mistrust. well as to how bob graham, in this election, i'm 30 percent optimistic. because if there are good people in parliament, things will change. but if not, everything is going to be the same with. we can change, but it's not going to be only me. we all should join forces because all the previous governments in 2003 failed the people. while this selection is his 1st, it's the 5th. since the us invasion in 2003 that toppled the rule of them president saddam hussein. and since the protest in 2019,

the only change that's taken place has been the replacement of them. prime minister either abdur maddie with most of all caught the me and is government introduced a new electoral law that was approved by the parliament, replace him bigger constituencies with smaller ones. al cardona dreaded up up was the new law gives academics and professionals that chance to run independently. there are minority, but at least they'll pay the way for a new political ro map was. that's completely different from the one before, say of our own. more than $640.00 international observers will monitor the election . however, the european union steam will have a different mandate. we watch, we document, we take note and we report, we have no mandate for interference. we have no mandate for super wise or interfere into domestic affairs. ah,

the main political parties and veteran politicians do most of their campaigning at large meetings. candidates, i make him big promises and gatherings like this. they're aware of the discontent amongst the voters who are going through a crisis of frost with politicians many or say they want the election to be a vehicle for drastic change. but this is not what those running for office can or are willing to of what the selection isn't only about domestic politics and other countries are expected to influence the vote. it's only natural that there will be influence of our political parties who are closely connected and related to either regional or international support or have support. and i'm definitely with the idea that iraq becomes an a positive effect has a positive effect on the, on the regional issues, all regional issues, and not become

a ground for proxy wars. and the more iraq's electoral commission says it expects to announce the result within 24 hours of polling stations glossy. but it's unlikely any block will win outright and a hunk parliament is widely expected. and that would make installing a new government and prime minister in iraq. another difficult task ali, i shall 0 back that vote county as begun. and the check republics parliamentary elections. some projections show the ruling party and the lead, but unlikely to win a majority. official results have not yet been released. voters have been choosing who will fill the 200 seats and the main legislative body of that you state the president of taiwan is promising to defend her islands democracy, sighing. when was responding to china's president who early reiterated his vow that there will be a peaceful reunification with taiwan. she in thing avoided previous rhetoric that

included using force, but the island has come under growing pressure to accept china's sovereignty fact. in the past week, nearly a 150 chinese warplanes have approached high ones and space. cancel means all c o they can ship. we will continue to work hard to hold fast, the front lines of democracy and to freedom, strengthening collaboration with international partners through shared values, and making more contributions to the world. read more from rob mcbride, his 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 day nastic 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. suddenly a good java, taiwan independence is the greatest obstacle to national unification and a grave danger. the national rejuvenation goes for 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. the french president emanuel micron is launching a campaign for the world wide abolition of the death penalty. he made that announcement at france's 40th anniversary of its last execution describing the death penalty as an abomination could have hosted on or silicon birth or liberty soon france will re launch the fight for universal abolition with the framework of the presidency of the european union. we will organize in paris with the n cio together against the death penalty, a meeting at the highest level. now bring together civil society from states that still apply the death penalty in order to convince their leaders of the importance and urgency of abolishing at one. now kenya has launched a new conservation drive. it's offering people the chance to name an elephant for

on $5000.00. the country needs the money to continue to fight against elephant poachers. katherine sawyer reports now of the office of the national park in san kenya. this is one of the most photographed landscapes in kenya, 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 kind of left service for whenever there is an artist where they, it's by the community rentals. they work very closely with the, with the kind of police we work. root canal i've service to ensure that the porters are 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. a cross, ample 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 poachers. there remains a here to serve as a reminder of what droughts can do. the climate to discuss this wildlife research says rivers are drying up. humans settlements are taking over migratory corridors and elephant are becoming increasingly isolated to the main threat. now is the issue of climate change? i think that's the main thing that i 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 alta 0 and bassetti national park in southern kenya. now people in western argentina have noticed the ground shaking beneath them much more of the last year. more than 200 earthquakes have been reported in that time. and geologists blame it all on fracking. teresa reports now from so so bonito in argentina's mc one province. ah, it's one of the largest shale oil and gas reserves in the world. like i'm one of those located in argentina. but the only a region, it covers an area of over 30000 square kilometers and extraction companies have

invested heavily in exploiting it the same. this and the while has been living in the regional town of sal salvador, all his life. he says, well, he's glad of the new economy opportunities brought by the companies. there is also a downside earthquakes, the glucose, one, william intronas, berlin. these are not natural movements. i never felt before i felt for very strong shakes that broke my house. the house started to shake and for a few seconds we all looked at each other and then it stopped. increasingly, locals are blaming the practice of racking for this is miguel activity. fracking uses thousands of liters of water and sand that are injected in the soil at high pressure to push out the oil and gas. scientists continue to debate whether the practice can provoke earthquakes. although a recent study in argentina says, there is a direct link between fracking and sysmic activity right across this river. there

is at least 90 sites where oil and gas are being extracted using fracking. people living in the area say that the fis mc activity here began when oil company started operating in this area, there's report off, i'd leased at 36 small earthquake of happening in just one weekend. to lose her go, we send this house has several cracks because of the tremors. he says he's hoping or so he will help him and his neighbors fortify their homes for what is likely to become a regular thing. yeah, not any damage. this is, we're not denying, there is an increase in activity. the importance is how strong the earthquakes are and how to prepare the population. we need to know who is doing it and how and where the population is. we to sit down at the same table and plan how it's going to be done. but almost everyone agrees. argentina's economy struggling and promoting oil and gas extraction is crucial to helping the country recovery. yet
