zooming out the country. dog. starts to come takes on t.w. . lab am. this is the news live from bided donald trump abruptly councils of peace talks with the taliban the u.s. president says that the move is in response to a taliban attack in kabul because this video and all the peace process it seems to wrap up the u.s. is long afghan campaign also coming up conditions are rapidly deteriorating 5th thousands of people displaced by hurricane dorian in the bahamas with their homes

and communities destroyed tearing me to food and water the storm is now lashing canada's nova scotia knocking out power to hundreds of thousands. and then tennis few young cancer yes school wins the u.s. open title she beats 23 time grand slam champion serena williams to clinch her thoughts ever slam. i'm going to home free glad you could join me u.s. president donald trump says that he is calling off peace talks with afghanistan's taliban leaders trump tweeted that he also scrapped a secret meeting planned with the taliban at camp david on sunday after the taliban took credit for an attack in kabul earlier this week the attack killed a dozen people including an. american soldier the u.s.

and the taliban have been meeting since last year in the hopes of ending the afghanistan conflict. face we're joined now by journalist and a t.v. in kabul good to have you with us and so president trump says that he has called off a secret meeting with taliban leaders have we heard from the afghan government yet what's their reaction we have heard from the on government just in the last hour or so and their reaction is basically pretty standard you know they're saying that they want a legitimate peace that can only come when there is a proper ceasefire when the follow on stop attacking out on civilians and when the taliban are willing to sit face to face on government which is something that has not happened and 9 rounds of talks with the toggle between the taliban and the americans in doha. this is something that they've been saying for a long time now and they also refer back to the upcoming presidential elections

it's on the 28th saying that those must carry forward and that you know having a legitimate elected democratic government is the only way to have a proper discussion between the 2 sides having a legitimate government that's in real life or elected in terms of a democratic. presidential election this is very important we've also seen that the on about to start is saying that you know the group and doha doesn't necessarily represent all of one groups and that there are other new taleban troops that are not being represented by the whims and but i mean this is quite a turnaround bearing in mind that is that the u.s. afghanistan envoy you said recently trump administration with actually on the threshold of an agreement with the taliban so how close were they really are. i mean according to salazar they were very close they were just waiting for trump's agreement and actually he had given copies of the reman to both president and 70

and his chief executive a lot of people are of course president and he asked for more clarification on the terms of that agreement so that it definitely was some form of an agreement exactly what was in it it's hard to tell because that was never made public in that there's a lot of rumors about it but for sure there was definitely some sort of an agreement that was it on its way to being basically and it was waiting for trump's signature of course now in that time trump himself has come under heavy criticism both in the republican and democratic political bases for what they say was a rush to agreement that you know actually left a lot of questions and might have given way too much leeway to the taleban so it could have been that you know it's not as if u.s. soldiers hadn't been targeted through out these 9 rounds of trikes it might have been this was finally you know the event that you could use to back out under the pressure i mean overall this does appear to be quite

a step backwards i mean we've also got to bear in mind a president trump has that campaign promise of which touring american troops from afghanistan as soon as possible well he deliver on that day thank you. this is this is the question another thing we have to keep in mind is that trump has changed his mind about negotiating all of on in the us in early 2018 after a series of attacks and possible in other cities he said he refuses to speak to the taliban saying that they are essentially the means of bloodshed on the streets including all of these innocent people and then only a couple months later you know the dispatch that my colleagues got to start these 9 rounds of negotiations so i was you know trump has the tendency to keep changing this. end of line and so on is one of those areas where he jeff and it only seems to change his mind and say things that don't necessarily always fit in with the u.s. political satirist including his own cabinet genista any latifa in kabul thanks so much. you. announced in the other stories making news around the world

. 2 warring countries to maintain the momentum towards peace. hurricane dorian has been downgraded to a post tropical sightline but it is still packing dangerously strong winds off to making landfall along canada's atlantico snow heavy rainfall in a discussion has knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of people and in the bahamas while the storm has left a trail of devastation the death toll is now 43 but with many still unaccounted for it is expected to rise sharply. a cruise ship full of evacuees from the bahamas the people on board have survived an apocalypse and for now they're the lucky ones. desperation is setting in for those left behind who've lost everything . until the bridge in the middle of nobody calls on the fire there will be off no poles to hum nothing no are no power of clothes why no.

i it's 5 everything we have saved getting it found me. as the scale of the destruction becomes clear international aid efforts are ramping up. but it's a complicated task the destruction is so widespread. we have 2 major islands in the bahamas grand bahama and abaco and oftentimes we forget about the many keys around the close in particular they themselves. we have to put tremendous focus on those keys because we have residents living on those keys as well in the u.s. dorian made landfall as a category one storm hitting the coast of north carolina with battering waves storm surges and heavy rains caused extensive flooding powerful winds and a series of tornadoes. the roofs off houses and knocked out power to hundreds of

thousands of people. to tennis now where bianca and 3 s go has beaten serena williams in straight sets to win the u.s. open a new york and 19 year old canadian have the strongest start to the match taking the 1st set 63 she dennistoun to a 51 lead in the 2nd in the certain to grab the win before we even through back to tie the set 55 and yes go help her nerve to win the set and play her 1st ever grand slam title. or joining us now for more on the u.s. open final is a lemo taki from v.w. sports great to see you and i think even the most avid tennis fans may not necessarily have heard the name bianca and the s.q. tell us more about her that i don't feel guilty about not as a canadian only found out about carrying a while ago she wasn't even in the top $100.00 at the start of the hour and i have to say 21000 has been

a very kind year to canadian sports fans because for us we have the trauma raptors win their 1st n.b.a. basketball championship and now we have a 19 year old making history andre s.q. winning canada us 1st grand slam title and of course the reactions in the country have been huge prime minister justin trudeau has congratulated her as well as sidney crosby who is like the messi they were naldo of ice hockey in the n.h.l. the sky is the limit for bianca of course was not trying to come to terms with this newfound fame or so she's carrying the hopes of the maple leaf where does it go from here will that glittering career continue to think we have to be really careful when it comes to hyping up young tennis talent because that tennis has a way of creating teenage millionaires and then chewing them up and spitting them out but i have to say i don't just say this because she is canadian but beyond what makes her stand out what makes us all special is that the mental game cheers inability to block. out all the noise and we saw that as well yesterday in

a very pro serene up crowd so in and of course she's been using visualization since the age of 13 she's even imagined writing checks us open checks which now has become a reality because she's cashing in 3700000 is a lot of us just imagine you know any things you put so mind to definitely gets done but it sort of course was a tough day for serena williams of course i mean does she still have it in her to win 2 more slabs of course and then you know then she became the all time record for herself right through that window of opportunity is closing she's turning 38 next month time is definitely catching up with her and she had a great chance last night but she's blown the last 4 grand slam finals that she's made since becoming a mother since giving birth and we know that a woman's body changes after giving birth so maybe she needs to adjust her game i don't know really what it is but she is putting a lot of pressure on us health because in the back of the mind she is chasing that

record whether she likes to admit to it or not but it's difficult because we see that now you know there's a rise of young talent coming up and that unstoppable as we saw last night and that is actually from the sports thank you. for your what she did over the news up next we hear from one of the last holocaust survivors in that wild story thanks for watching and see you again soon. the. pictures famous neutralised antics to. the british public sunday from the boats to. embark on the voyage of discovery. expedition. deep.
