line for children. welcome to news asia it's good to have you with us we begin in cut the 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.
4:32 pm
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 and everybody is in for sizing. ceasefire 1st of a cease fire or. reduction or for civilian. killings and also establishment of a small community at the front of the discussion talk of a ceasefire but on the ground in afghanistan there was no sign of it of these are scenes from the city in central of on sunday but taliban detonated a. government office during sunday's rush. 13 adults and a child were killed. at least $27.00 of the children also injured. and this on the same day that taliban representatives are meeting in gun leaders in
4:33 pm
doha for peace talks and one person who's following these talks closed a is did have to stand up a husband who was reported extensively from of summer welcome to the studio how serious is the fall of about peace in afghanistan i think they don't 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 pump last the continuation of fighting on their side just the smarts the continuation of ass tracks and field on the side of the government an international coalition troops which all of this happening you have a situation in doha in which representatives of the government are participating in direct talks with the taliban for the 1st time although taliban says this is in a private capacity can you have these in a 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 ikey working
4:34 pm
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. piece and then wrote a piece as we see now it's going to be a long one it's going to be very key 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 some that we want to speak to you about because the situation for women was appalling under the taliban and the taliban rule of darkness on 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 good done by the draw let's hear from 2 of those. no heat for reid is on her way to parliament she's an m.p. for herrick province she knows what's at stake in a deal with the taliban. for 60 years
4:35 pm
i was imprisoned at home during taliban as a teenager yeah i 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 in. the free market many of them say all if there was no reserved seat there was no you hear i can tell you who walks and walks the walk of things that are happening. peace negotiator for their koofi 2 rounds of talks with the taliban. in the 1st round they try to be nice and tell me that you they are ok for women to go to school there ok for women to work woman cannot be president but they can be prime minister and they can be
4:36 pm
ministers in may when we met them in moscow they were much harder i told them you have to adopt afghanistan cannot go back to your time you have to come for work whether the taliban can adapt or will adapt will shape the future for coming generations. some of it is one of the looters in the studios under will the taliban be able to adapt. i think pocky they will have to but just how much that we mains 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
4:37 pm
prepared for female role in society rights under bridges month and to so much for coming 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 a cave in thailand with their coach the group entered the cave in the northern province of john wright but shortly after their heavy rains began to fall trapping the boys and their porch search efforts began 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 daring mission to rescue them the differential that cost $1.00 diver his life the
4:38 pm
1st of the boys was pulled out alive on july the 8th one year back. i met one of the divers are took part in that rescue operation he reflects on his experience one year on. i like to tell a good story and it's a very good story. when i arrived to to the cave the kids get to be found we were going out there not knowing 100 percent what kind of vision of the going into i'd be going in to save some kids or going to recover some bodies and i think myself and many of the other risk groups we were probably expecting to find at least some of them not at all. it was terrifying to think about that maybe you're going to be diving around and then the next thing you're going to bump into is a dead kid and i am eternally happy that that was not the situation. was part of getting before the 1st kids out any kind of work pretty good. i was sitting in the
4:39 pm
6th chamber which is off way into where he put the kids where i found our mission myself and my dive buddy boys to support the divers and the kids as they were coming out we could actually see the dive busy i always see the night 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 glowing to watch so i'm jumping into the water the water is about chest high at this point and i'm running towards that i 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 him that he's coming up and i can see the bubbles escaping from the kids lost in the equipment which indicates to me that the kiddies is breeding. and i both told you to know he's a law is maybe using your or maybe something else is wrong with him but he said.
4:40 pm
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 into the store a charmed bar 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 divers few hours earlier i didn't know and it was fantastic to to to get there and the new stuff yeah they're very different. and you . know i don't feel like in your role 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 you good thing and i think that that's you know it's just you know. if you go again sure 100 percent yes i will go again. i think the biggest takeaway
4:41 pm
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 a good planning then you can do everything. one year later 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 now as for social media the boys have enjoyed
4:42 pm
