observers fear this failure to resolve this standoff was in danger and plans for a peace deal with the taliban. and its fate now to journalist alley live t.v. in kabul alex some positive news just bring us up to speed on this announcement what's been a great on sure so the news is basically that you know there is now political agreement which will see doctored up the law given the role of essentially leading all of honest ones peace efforts and getting to a point of officials in terms of that kind of a portfolio but he also will get to a point cabinet positions up to 50 percent of the cabinet so it really is much more akin to some kind of a power sharing deal than the previous deal they had from 2014 to 2019 in which dr ablow held the role of chief executive but didn't necessarily get the exact
4:05 pm
rights enshrined in this sort of an agreement where it stated specifically that he gets to choose up to 50 percent of the cabinet. they only last week we saw 2 appalling attacks including one on a maternity ward emotions must be roll is there a hope that today's announcement will bring us a step closer to ending that sort of violence. i don't know if it will necessarily and that kind of violence because that kind of via i mean in terms of the attack on the maternity ward we still don't know who did it no group has claimed responsibility for the attack but the thing about this agreement is that you know in the beginning in the initial days and months after the september election people who voted for either dropped out of any or doctor of the law were very adamant that their cat and candidate not only won but that there would be no agreement there would be no deal and as the months have gone on we've seen that obviously there is a deal and that people essentially at this point they just want it done they're
4:06 pm
just hoping that there's some kind of a resolution to it and that they can move on they no longer have that adamant faith that their candidate will stand by you know what they promise is that they won't make any deals that they that they will lead the way they want to and now it's just sort of a sense of resignation you know that this is just the way things are and given that where it is it leaves the in traffic pace talks so this will hopefully pave the way for for actually working towards that in travel on peace talks because now we know specifically the doctor of the laws entire mandate will be peace and he's been very pro peace and very adamant about peace even since the election during the election he had said that he would give up his candidacy if there was real developments towards peace at that time. which obviously didn't happen then you know the taleban in the u.s. didn't come to their agreement until february but so hopefully this will end all of

patients and from people who are not carrying it. what you have to do 1st of all is collect softballs of the souls from people with them without even knowing to so the way we're going to do it for collecting using 1st most people to wear it for it's most for a few hours and the other thing we're going to do is get people to know and sort through the big story but we know from previous experience that this is a really good word clippy who is from people. in the us a group in philadelphia is carrying out similar trials the researches say they need to see strong scientific evidence that this method does work before the virus sniffing dogs can be unleashed in airports and station. after a 2 month hiatus because of coronavirus lockdown measures the bundesliga is back in

action this weekend reigning champions by a new nick take on neon berlin in the capital today and to tell us all about it i'm joined by date of the sports reporter jonathan crane who is outside the stadium here in berlin jonathan nice to see league leaders by and usually draw huge crowds but that obviously won't be possible today what's the mood like there. well i have to say it was a very strange experience walking through the stadium from the local train station usually thousands of pounds especially for such a game as this one as you mentioned by munich the defending champions in town but it was very very quiet usually you'd see fans congregating at the balls on the way to the stadium. i mean it will close to the economy to be that's probably how can i think the clubs will be breathing a sigh of relief because of course if fans rhetoric out of the games are at risk of being abandoned and then the club whose fans offended would then have to potentially forfeit the game and i spoke to some place as well because there are
4:11 pm
some police here and they said anyone that does try to gather will be arrested for breaking social distancing rules so that's enough of an incentive i think for people to stay away and definitely i'm only on berlin are also well known for their passionate fan base how do you think the empty stadium will affect what happens on the pitch i think you know embodied in more than any other club in the brand is league have this real kind of affinity with that fans don't forget in 2008 it was the fans that reconstructed this very stadium here now they wouldn't even be allowed into the stadium that they built and i think that would be a huge loss but it is one of the smallest stadiums in the pond it's legal but it's arguably one of the most rigorous refractor in terms of atmosphere it's a very intimidating place for opposition sides to come it's all terracing and mostly terrace and really close up to the pitcher is a tough place to the opponents to come also perhaps working in today's opponents favor finds favor if this matter should be played when it was shut your robot that

top scorer would miss it through injury he has now back he's recovered during the 2 months we've not been playing and he will be looking to add to his 25 goals again today important because by in that league cuts of one point by percy dortmund yesterday and you mentioned thing the tight regulations on the fans there but there was a huge amount of scrutiny on the bundesliga yesterday in terms of how well play is and he had to social distancing bowls is that likely to be the case here again today. well i think we can expect a similar thing i think watching the games yesterday the 1st 20 minutes review notices the players are getting used today new surroundings have much more being 15 fake substitutes having to refound masks on the face but i think once they go start rolling in the tackles started flying in again the players got more used to it the one interesting thing celebrations as you mentioned some celebrations most celebrations were essentially this and not say hectic but when they were not kept invited to be civic sport his teammates jumped on him congratulated him now had

said we understand will be punished by the d.f.l. because the day that if our german football league house is extensive right team concept that we can actually written into the concept that it was more guidance so they would be punished but i think this is something that could evolve as the season progresses the d.f.l. will be trying to look at where they can improve and maybe if place to celebrate can join in celebration to get it and that is something they might have to look out again jonathan crying reporting from a very quiet anyon berlin stadium thanks very much. germany's bundesliga became the 1st major european football league to resume play this weekend after a 2 month break because of the coronavirus 10 demick the games played on empty stadiums but they were being closely watched by all the sporting lakes around the world this doesn't look or sound like you usual going to seek a game bullis your daughter been playing shaka in front of an empty stadium due to the corona virus pandemic players who didn't start had to wear masks and keep their

distance. but what's not unusual is some of each machine erling holland scoring goals and 1900 groped a deadlock in the 26th minute for his 10th each goal of the season and it was immediate celebration with play as unable to embrace one another out. there was no stopping to outland just before the break they made it to nil thanks to laugh i am sure. and it all started with this nifty pass from you and. the 1st half was one to forget for a shocker and so was the 2nd. one picked up exactly where they left off the top and added a 3rd goal minutes into the 2nd half and if that wasn't enough gayo with the brace to seal a 4 nil victory for the black and yellow was there now one point behind us by and
4:15 pm
munich normal is 80000 but but we knew that we we had the support at home from the fans so we were not. we were never afraid of anything we knew that we were going to win i don't mean players kept with tradition and end at the match with a celebration in front of an empty yellow wall. you know watching data but the news will have more headlines at the top of.
