selling out of the. donkeys fear no he. starts september 18th on d w. this is d w news a live from berlin tonight 18 years on the u.s. marks the anniversary of the 911 attacks and announces an escalation in the war in afghanistan america's longest war began after the afghanistan based militant group al qaida killed nearly $3000.00 people in the united states the decision to increase operations in afghanistan comes after the u.s.

president called off peace talks with the taliban also coming up then $300.00 people leaving this country woman children and men simply because they're foreign to us and they're not feeling well coming in. nigeria is repatriating hundreds of in citizens are from south africa and we'll have a report on the end time for inner violence that's prompted nigeria to call its people home. i'm bring coffee it's good to have you with us the united states is commemorating the 911 terror attacks with ceremonies across the country families of victims and survivors were among at ground 0 in new york city where 2 hijacked planes crashed into the twin towers of the world. trade center just

a years ago nearly 3000 people were killed in the series of attacks which were curious by. our correspondent public is in the u.s. . to you. these attacks 18 years ago in the u.s. response to the changed so much of the world that we live in what are the biggest the still of the world today. well you're right i mean a profound impact. on so many levels i mean let's not forget just on a day to day level maybe a lot of people don't associate for example the stringent security measures that we see in airports across the world they wouldn't associate it perhaps with the 9 a level line a levon attacks and also the visa requirements and the entry requirements for a lot of countries not just here in the united states are far more strict than they were pre 911 and of course military spending has considerably increased here

in the united states of course directly related to the war on terror which began shortly after 911 and you know which is still which is still raging let's not forget that the war in afghanistan is really is continuing to take place and also one study actually which took which came out last year here in the u.s. said that around a half a 1000000 people had actually died as a result of that the war on terror and of course like i just said the war in afghanistan is still taking place 18 years it's the u.s. is the longest war and it was in the headlines just this week president trump of course was even mentioned that the memorial which took place at the pentagon today . yes it's interesting back then in 2001 afghanistan was where al qaeda and its leaders were sheltering and they planned

those attacks they are our go on but the war continues as you said against the taliban u.s. president trump he addressed that issue today at a memorial ceremony at the pentagon take a listen to part of what he said we had peace talks scheduled a few days ago i called them off when i learned that they had killed a great american soldier from puerto rico and 11 other innocent people they thought they would use this attack to show strength but actually what they showed is unrelenting week. the last 4 days we have hit our enemy harder than they have ever been hit before and that will continue. it's important here to note that the u.s. president it appeared today that he can conflated the taliban with al qaida. was responsible for the terror attacks not the taleban but the peace talks with the

taliban they were canceled this past week so looking forward do you see this war having any end in the foreseeable future. well as we know you know president trumps foreign policy on predictable and that we know that as just a few days ago it appeared that president trim took a far more conciliatory tone towards the taliban he also let's not forget it was one of his election promises to end the war in afghanistan and bring the troops home or at least the majority of those troops home now despite those pretty strong words that we heard in the pentagon and also the comments that we've heard in the process few days and also let's not forget that his national security adviser john bolton who is now not in that role anymore was very much against those talks taking place it is believed and many observers are saying that behind closed doors those diplomatic efforts are going to continue and all the work that has been building up

to this plan secret meeting which was going to be taking place at camp david over the weekend may happen again in the future but it is very unpredictable with with president trumps foreign policy so it is it's not very clear if it will get to that stage again of course next year is an election year and president trump really needs some sort of symbol or some sort of that big win will say for him in his foreign policy something which at the moment many of his critics are saying he hasn't achieved it's very important for blue he did campaign on the promise to america's foreign words which he so far has not done a corresponding public in washington public thank you for earlier this week u.s. president declared peace talks with the taliban to be dead what does that mean for the people who call it going to stand with no peace deal on the horizon many fear

more violence is no just. temblor faith the aftermath of a suicide bombing that claimed 12 lives and killed a country's hopes for peace. just days the u.s. is lead envoy was in the afghan capital to finalize a breakthrough agreement with the taliban. but not going to have then is what months of talks unraveled that day far as i'm concerned that there. are such the members of the can family were injured in a separate bombing just last week they survived but like many in afghanistan they're mourning the peace deal. one of his soldiers was killed and he stopped the peace process saying he doesn't care about the taliban our new hope was peace which doesn't happen now well because i don't know if the. victims of the taliban's ruthless bombing campaign lie in the corridors of kabul hospitals these days there

have been 2 attacks this month already local politicians say the talks were their best chance of protecting lives. of the majority of the casualties of the civilians without peace i don't think there would be any other way to stop fighting and prevent civilian casualties. and we could you know get equal. wading through what remains of his home zaki can spare his anger not for the taliban but for the u.s. president who holds all the power. there are attacks happening every day with the death of one soldier trump stop the peace talks wasn't he care about the killing of hundreds of civilians here. for those in the firing line of the taliban's 25 year reign of terror thursday's attack may yet be the costliest. well here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the
