for that and also what the americans really wanted was to have the taliban ensure that groups like al qaida and i still would not use the country to stage further attacks now there is of course an important issue that the afghan people want to know about which is security and that is something i pushed him on and one guarantees you giving that if you do find an agreement that the military aspect of your group will cease to operate with. us from the drop quarter groups come on strong. on of one inclusiveness then you could have been in the country i think there is no new order. to. sort of very sustainable peace in the country you know all. four minutes including a lot of people who will be included in the national guard i also mother or the taliban would be talking to the afghan government he said that that was an internal issue and that would only be addressed once the external ones like the troop withdrawal would have been confirmed certainly they are complicated issues being discussed the timetable again we're going to have to wait and see what is achieved here over the next coming days

our special operations force has proven remarkably effective in combatting isis, al-qaida and other terrorist groups in the last 17 years. they continue to pose a real threat to the united states and our allies. at the same time military advancements by china and russia impose new and increasingly complex challenges to our national security. when you talk to people out in the real world in america, there's this assumption that we have the best of everything and it's hard to explain sometimes that we don't. when we have our joint chiefs of staff talking about how we're outranged and outgunned by an artillery. so anyway that's -- they are advancing and ahead of us in some areas. the other critical component the nds, the robust capabilities to counter growing threats and cyber space. including the elevation of the cyber command to have fully combat the command in the cyber mission forces achieving full operational capability. additionally the dod released a mission last year on how we will operate in cyber domain. i look to our witnesses to describe what investments will be needed to meet these

refused to do that and also crucially for the americans they want to ensure that groups like isis and al qaida do not use afghanistan as a staging ground for any further attacks so these are complicated negotiations there is some hope in afghanistan certainly from the people that perhaps there will be some change we're going to have to wait and see what is agreed upon here but people do remain skeptical at the taliban what form they're going to return the talks are to have them involved in some kind of unity government people do not want to see the group return in the capacity with the rules that they had toward the end of the nine hundred ninety s. i think most important of course is to try and restore some form of stability security to the country this is what afghans want they want to be able to live in some point of security economies situation has been dire very very difficult but again i think crucially what happens here we're going to have to wait and see over the next couple of days but whether whatever is agreed upon can be implemented on the ground in afghanistan stephanie decker for

for the taliban joining a unity government and ensuring the country won't be used by groups like al qaida and i see. us all voice full of earnest and zalmai hollies that says the deal isn't finalized yet but seems confident the taliban is willing to make concessions the armed group that was pushed from power in two thousand and one has yet to commit to a nationwide cease fire who agree to hold direct talks with the afghan government it's the best chance for peace in the almost twenty years that this war's been going on and actually be over forty years that afghanistan has been at war with various forces but this is not going to be a quick and easy process. the taliban has repeatedly refused to talk to the afghan government. and which it considers an american puppet officials in kabul dismiss any suggestion for a bigger taliban role in the country if the deal happens taliban has to come to the negotiating table with the afghan government if we want to see a peace deal because previous experiences in afghanistan unfortunately has shown that excluding the afghan government from the process h

troop withdrawal and also trying to stop groups like isis and al qaida from using afghanistan as a staging ground from what we've been told from what we understand talks of a ceasefire haven't happened yet and certainly the afghans i've been speaking to will tell you that that is what they are more concerned about laying down their arms security and also what is some kind of national unity government with the taliban going to the people who are very skeptical that the taliban will come back in the form that it was at the end of the one nine hundred ninety s. have to wait and see what can be achieved here over the next couple of days but certainly all sides seem to be saying that potentially there could be something on the table if that's going to be able to be implemented in afghanistan on the ground we'll have to wait and see. now the united nations has israeli crackdown on palestinian protesters in gaza may amount to war crimes u.n. investigators saying it's very intentionally opened fire on civilians two hundred palestinians were killed and thousands wounded during weekly rallies along

wants some kind of guarantee that afghanistan will not be used by groups like isis and al qaida in march launching any future attacks against the west so these are the issues on the table certainly off to fight each other for eighteen years martine i think it is quite significant that you see now the american delegation speaking with senior taliban members particularly when they're coming for such a position of strength the taliban eighteen years on controlling around half of the country indeed the presence of abdul. ghani baradar does seem to be making the difference certainly insofar as people do believe that this is going to have a significant. boost if you like to the top. absolutely he's a man who was a co-founder of the taliban he's been in prison in pakistan for years only released recently last year according to reports at the request of the americans to try and get involved in these talks he has gravitas he has influence and even referring back to that tweet that you read out earlier. saying a more authoritative taliban delegation so again i think we need to be cautious because

they carried out their tack is a wahhabi extremist group that has the same ideology as isis and al qaida and we know that saudi arabia saudi arabia promotes that ideology in iran if you run an intelligence says that this group and other groups that have carried out attacks are linked to so the and amorality intelligence directly looking at the tweets again netanyahu his office change the choice of words in the tweet from war to combat inc do you think this backtracking will help calm the situation. i think it just shows that the israeli prime minister is has has made a major mistake and that he's hurt himself and his allies in saudi arabia and the emirates and the u.s. regime by making such an explicit statement of course the europeans are not all that different from the israelis and the americans because during the conference in poland we had the any k it's a which is a cult group a terrorist organization which fought for saddam hussein for many years against the iranians and crushed the iraqis who rebelled against saddam hussein for many years this group which went to move to europe an

a group many in the international community consider linked to al qaida. i'd like to stress the creation of the it. is a temporary measure the rest of the rebels should punished. that may be a threat of a russian backed syrian government offensive that turkey wants to prevent so as not to cause a humanitarian crisis on its border. syrian people especially and our brothers and sisters are trying to stay alive they've suffered enough and pizza. we will continue to do what we should be doing based on the memorandum we're determined to make the situation. the strategic interests of russia iran and turkey not just in syria means their differences are unlikely to affect their alliance.

may be changing how many people it is physically committing to the fight against isis and against al qaida it's doesn't mean that the u.s. is withdrawing its diplomatic economic and other tools of influence from these countries that have been at really. suffering at the heart of these groups activities in recent years what is going to be key is whether or not the united states as well as its allies in western europe can put forward enough funding and enough ways of actually standing up local law security forces so that they can better prevent these sorts of resurgence is from occurring this is a highly anticipated speech from the president who really has not had much in the way a face to face contact with his counterparts from other countries since he made this announcement in mid december. the european council president has condemned british politicians who pushed for the u.k. to leave the e.u. without working out how to do it first on to us as we speak in brussels where he also pledged to do his best to find a solution to the brics it crisis are puerto poor and listen to those comments f
