in history. he wrote a legend. simply a human being who was born strong. was his destiny starts july 20th on t.w. . this is. coming up on the program talks. the members of the afghan government and civil society as momentum gathers to end decades of fighting in the country but peace what costs. so yeah the 1st boys were rescued from a cave in northern thailand we speak to one of the divers who put his life on the line for children.

welcome to. it's good to have you with us we begin in qatar capital doha which is playing host to 2 important meetings that could determine the future of afghanistan meetings between the united states and the taliban and the fall of bonn and afghan officials both meetings hope to work towards one goal peace in afghanistan but how that can happen is still an open question on sunday at least 60 of representing civil society women and politicians leaders in talks organized by germany and other. voices from those who attended. i think the americans understand they cannot win in afghanistan by beating and bombing the country. so they want peace and they're convinced of that. country

even if it is imprecise england. ceasefire 1st of all cease fire or. reduction of. civilian. killings and also it's not a small committee at the front of the discussion talk of a cease fire but on the ground in afghanistan there was no sign a fit of these are scenes from the city center of on sunday the taliban detonated a car bomb a government office during sunday's rush. 13 adults and a child what killed. at least $27.00 of the children was also injured. and this on the same day that taliban representatives were meeting in gun leaders in doha for peace talks and one person who's following these talks closed the is

the underpaid as one who has reported extensively from of summer welcome to the studio how serious is the taliban about peace in afghanistan i think they do want to talk about peace but they do want to talk about peace from a position of strength and i think that is why we also see the continuation of last the continuation of fighting on their side just this much as the continuation of ass trikes and field fighting on the side of the government an international coalition troops all of this happening you how it was it's written in doha in which representatives of the government are participating in direct talks with the taliban for the 1st time although the taliban says this is in a private capacity then you have the sin of bomb is done without the involvement of the government of course not in the end it really depends on the. afghans themselves what we see at the moment is space iquique working on the frameworks of a jigsaw puzzle but where we really need to be it's getting to the inside to the details and that hasn't been done yet and for as long as the afghan government the

afghan political elite in kabul is not involved we've always see peace and then wrote peace as we see now it's going to be a long one it's going to be dirty and it's going to take a lot of time and patience but of course there is also the question of women's rights and that is on that we want to speak to you about because the situation for women was appalling under the taliban when the taliban rule of gonna stand today it is still not easy but women's rights are in try and in the constitution so many are fearful that any peace deal with the taliban could turn back the clock let's hear from 2 lawmakers. no heat for reid is on her way to parliament she's an m.p. for herit province she knows what's at stake in a deal with the taliban. for 6 years i was imprisoned at home do. as

a teenager. don't trust them. i won't forget she's eager for peace in afghanistan but not at the cost of a voice in parliament where women are guaranteed more than a quarter of seats. if there was no deserve a seat. walks and walks the walk of things that are happening. peace negotiator for 0 koofi 2 rounds of talks with the taliban. in the 1st round they try to be nice and tell me that they're ok for women to go to school they're ok for woman to work woman cannot be president but they can be prime minister and they can be ministers in may when we met them in moscow they were but harder i told them you have to adopt afghanistan cannot go back to your time you have to come forward whether the taliban can adapt or will adapt will shape the

future for coming generations. so underbid as one of the looters in the studios under will the taliban be able to adapt i think partly they will have to but just how much that we're meant to be seen we haven't really a clear definition of red lines on either side if it comes to women's right the taliban say on the one hand yes girls will be allowed to go to school yes and women will be allowed to work but they also inject according to islamic principles and sharia law and just what that exactly means that needs to be defined and they haven't defined it yet so i can on a very personal level understand why so many women are fearful because that's one of these successes of the past 18 years that there has been you know some ground prepared for female role in society. it is one thank you so much for covering into the studio and breaking that down for us.

next to a story that's captured the was attention on june the 23rd last year 12 boys from a youth soccer team decided to explore keven thailand with their coach the group entered the tom long cave in the northern province of john wright but shortly after the end heavy rains began to fall trapping the boys and their goal which such efforts began soon after. hundreds of people including diving experts and researchers from all over the world at the caves site. then after 9 days divers found the boys full kilometers from the mouth of the cave starving but still alive next began a dead mission to rescue them the defense should it cost one diver his life the 1st of the boys was pulled out alive on july the 8th one year back. i met one of the dive osa to pot in that rescue operation he reflects on his experience one yet on.

a like to tell a good story and it's a very good story when i arrived to to the cape the kids where i get to be phone we were going out there not knowing 100 percent of what kind of vision i'll be going into i'll be going in to save some kids or they're going to recover some bodies and i think myself and many of the other rescuers we were probably expecting to find at least some of them not alive. it was terrifying to think about that maybe you're going to be diving around and then the next thing you've got to bump into is that good and i am eternally happy that that was not the situation. i was part of getting before the 1st kids out any kind of work pretty good i was sitting in the 6th chamber which is roughly half way into where i'd be but the kids were from our mission myself and my dive buddy boys to support the divers and the kids as they

were coming out. well we could actually see the dive busy see the light of the dive of way before we can see the diver and i remember that reddy vividly i'm sitting on one of the banks together with my dive buddy and i can see this go into water i'm jumping into the water the water is about chest high at this point and i'm running towards that ike he's dragging something to the water i know what that is that is one of the kids but at this point i didn't know what condition the kid was so that i still remember coming around and it's coming up and i can see the bubbles escaping from the kids' mosque and equipment which indicates to me that the kiddies is breeding. and i was told the need to know he said i may be using your or maybe something else is wrong with him but he said. i was the last person to leave the cave that night at this point all of the kids have already been evacuated to the

hospital and was under treatment i still remember coming in to do it for a charter boat which is where the diving ends i remember one of the american divers just said to me i've been there all find them all alive and. while i thought they were because i was sold for busy divers few hours earlier i didn't know and it was fantastic to get there and the good news that. they're far. and you. know i don't feel like you're old and i don't think any of us do because we were just doing what we do what every day but we were doing something that we we all love to do. a good thing and i think that that's even more it's just you know. if you go again sure 100 percent yes i will go again. i think the biggest takeaway that that i had formed from this experience is that i learned that absolutely nothing is impossible if you work together if you have a mission and don't forget also in good planning then you can do everything. one

year later this spectacular rescue operation is still on many people's minds hundreds sometimes thousands flock here to tom long cave every day despite it being closed off to the general public ever since the rescue operation it is unclear whether it will ever be open due to safety concerns and conservation aspects in the meantime the 12 boys and their coach have become semi celebrities they have appeared on a major u.s. talk show and played friendly football matches around the world they have also signed a deal with streaming giant netflix that wants to bring the story to life on screen apparently each family has for. more than 80000 euros for the exclusive deal which forbids them to speak to other media and now as for social media the boys have enjoyed a boost since the rescue 2 of them have about 150000 followers on instagram coach eg now runs his own football academy last year's touch and go mission was

a huge success but it also cost one rescue diver his life he's being remembered as well especially on a day like this. it over. to check all the other stories. and. facebook and twitter pages. really going out with pictures from the rescue operation last job that successfully feeds. from the tom long cave complex. about.
