7:02 pm
but most people here will be voting for or against to one of. the same government should stay everything should remain as is which party think a p.c. . that is everything bothers me what he did for us for sixteen years was not right he worked for himself. or any had it one is the best because he's built roads and hospitals for that one even proper roads into. or out of the union. the first day of the election has run smoothly each party has sent election monitors they are decisively countering accusations of vote rigging the turkish authorities carefully displaying openness. with reporters. every evening these ballot boxes a sealed without having been opened my physique every evening kept under three
7:03 pm
locks i can only be open to all three parties are present. they will then be transported unopened to turkey on june twentieth. that you took i for fatah even the opposition pro kurdish h d p is not afraid of vote rigging in germany but they complain that no one from the h.d. is permitted to accompany the ballot boxes in turkey and one. they've arrived it will be peace before they're counted. the slim is that what's bad is that the vote banks will be locked up for three or four days in storage rooms and we don't know what will happen there a lack of trust between the various political camps also in berlin. so his government meanwhile has announced that it is suspending its migrant deal with greece that means athens will no longer be able to be able to send a failed asylum seekers back to turkey foreign minister look to cover seoul who made the announcement after greece refused to extradite eight officers accused of

taking part in turkey's failed military coup in twenty sixteen of us who said that his migrant deal with the european union would not be affected. afghanistan's government has announced an unconditional weeklong ceasefire with the taliban to coincide with the festival of aid which marks the end of ramadan president ashraf ghani made the surprise announcement after a meeting of islamic clerics this week declared a fatwa or a ruling against suicide bombings this is the first time president gandhi has off of the taliban an unconditional cessation of hostilities the taliban has not responded. to more from a swiss freelance journalist affronts martin who joins us from the afghan capital kabul welcome to t.w. what's behind this offer and why is it just for a week. thanks for having me you have told us you said eight marks and if i want to. present those go on a tweeted that he edits my sister reading this off to ask
7:05 pm
a government. to the will of the people for peaceful reconciliation so it is for one week into hope that it will this could be some violence and that it will get the response from the toilet bowl that my to tweet more so in this sense it is a confidence building measure that is. more in the peace negotiations but it's hard to tell like fact it will have right now so this is dead just a generous offer what happens if the taliban ignores dr gandhi's offer i'm stuck shooting. the whole truth itself was unconditional so it wasn't like i wrote. to get a reply from the on the ball there is no threat that for example if i don't reply kannan also will declare a cease fire that the peace process will be over so there's nothing to disregard it
7:06 pm
again it is like a confidence building measure president gone he also said it should give the college ball like time to reflect. all their site and there might be something else that's been chief of army stuff also said that in case it's fire cold and also from that search site there's a possibility to prolong this but this is all quite speculative and it should also be kept in mind that the top ball i'm a lead in the last few months since said hans with the peace offered by the elf but as the government at the end of february has issued several quite in the church and statements and they also for. the cleric these folks that you mentioned as a conspiracy so so far the hands show any sign that it would be to try or that they were bigger change so it remains to see if it's more
7:07 pm
but so far it's just confidence building measure with no concrete consequences if they call it on should. not the taliban is not the only insurgent group fighting the afghan government why has the ceasefire only been offered to them. this. corresponds to the goal sending you off the government that ball on this bite of patients that they were supported by specially or and that's. that they were asked can see these things and that there is a nation which then has to be found whereas with all the groups like this landscape or on she has gone or all copied all or all so small groups like islamic movement. they have always been seen as for governments and as you were terrorists pure were true. no peace can ever be found that have to be for sold this
7:08 pm
correspondence. to do that you have to be switched problem bomb off by the borders that are more extreme and no mask and so it did doesn't deserve the government's position of the taliban is changing us that he has no longer looking to to conquer but the conciliate yes but this is not something that happened today with announcement of a cease fire as i mentioned before the president alone he has made a very nice offer at the end of february that included the proposed office use fire that included the proposal for letting the total bunker dissipate in the kurd after the motor city so this is just like a third or step and again like it is no end to reach out to college ball more to show that that the afghan government is ready to take certain steps which might lead to more good talking to friends in kabul thank you. to some of the
