Families in afghanistan have begun to bury those killed in a suicide bombing at a wedding in kabul today at least 63 people died 200 others were injured i saw has claimed responsibility for the attack the deadliest of the Afghan Capital in more than 18 months and u. S. President donald trump says that he will reduce the number of u. S. Troops in afghanistan to around 13000 he also said that he had a very good he had very good talks with the taliban and the afghan. And donald trump is confirmed reports that hes interested in buying greenland for the u. S. The island between the north atlantic and the arctic ocean is a semi autonomous danish territory denmarks Prime Minister said that greenland isnt for sale calling the idea of selling it to the us absurd but the us president says it could be bought for strategic reasons. Well a lot of things could be done sensibly its a large real estate deal a lot of things could be done. Hurting denmark very badly because theyre losing almost 700000000. 00 a year caring so they carry it at a great laws and strategically for the United States it would be nice for us president s of paid for territory throughout the countrys history 803. 00 Thomas Jefferson boards huge tracts of land in louisiana from france for 15000000. 00 in 86700. 00 jumps and paid 7200000. 00 for alaska from russia in 1970 the danish west indies cost 25000000. 00 before being renamed the u. S. Virgin islands lets go live to washington on sirius john hendren is there for us why is the president of the United States talking about buying greenland from denmark john why now. Well later and the president has been ridiculed for this idea it seems like a strange one but there is a logic to it. Greenland like many other arctic areas is full of Natural Resources youve got fishing Oil Natural Gas its also a strategic route to asia its also a key military site the u. S. Has a base there called Thule Air Force base it uses it among other things it is an early alert system for any missiles that might be coming over the pole from china or from russia so its got a strategic position there also other countries have been increasingly claiming arctic territory among them is russia and we know what a great admirer of lattimer putin donald trump is according to the wall street journal this idea 1st came up when the president floated it over a dinner with aides last spring and somehow we leaked out of the white house and now larry kudlow the president s Economic Advisor has confirmed on the sunday talk shows before the president did that the that this was in fact something the administration is considering but its pretty much a. No go in greenland the premier there kim killed and said the island is not for sale in the parent country of denmark Mehta Fredrickson the Prime Minister there says she hopes this is not meant seriously but it should be noted that the us wouldnt have to actually buy the largest island on earth in order to benefit from an increased relationship the air force base there was that was used through a treaty in 1951 that the us formed with greenland after world war 2 so it is an increasingly possible the us could find some kind of strategic relationship with greenland and greenlands premier says its not open its not for sale but it is open for trade in cooperation with other countries including the United States is there any precedent for this job. There is a among those that you mentioned earlier including the Louisiana Purchase but theres also precedent with greenland back in the 1900 centuries the u. S. Tried to buy it and then harry truman tried to buy it again i believe it was in 1946 when he offered 100000000. 00 greenland politely declined on that but you can imagine this being the kind of grand gesture that donald trump wants to leave as part of his legacy the last president to do Something Like this was president Dwight Eisenhower in 1989 when he made alaska a state President Trumps motto through the last election was make America Great again and this would literally make America Greater in size any way adrian told me they think so deserves john had read that life in washington.

Its a massive area nearly twice the size of new york citys central park theres a manmade lake a zoo theres even an 18th century castle sitting atop a hill one of 8 museums located within the park complex. Is the parks administrator and is especially proud of the diversity of attractions the park has to offer the local community to keep it in a move that is that the this park has everything from archaeological ruins to contemporary art we have an entire section devoted to sports and another section focused on conservation and capturing valuable rainwater for the citys aqua fairs. One of the parks many hidden gems is a quiet reading space nestled among the trees there we met a caretaker here of more than 33 years he says the forest is rich in history but also has a unique effect on its visitors. Is sort of the cool sometimes people arrive here emotionally charged but the energy in the forest removes all the negativity and stores it in the earth people always leave here more peace its a place of positive energy. This summer the chap with the pick part was awarded the 2900 International Large urban parks award a recognition that takes exception to a spaces environmental value to a city.

Mexicos dry season often means an increase in air pollution made worse by the more than 6000000 Motor Vehicles that transit the city. There are species of trees here that actually trap contaminants from the air such as volatile organic compounds which are released when you burn fuel such as gasoline wood coal or natural gas these dangerous contaminants are captured by the trees.

Is donald trump in a rush to withdraw from afghanistan the u. S. President hints that a deal with the taliban it could in washingtons longest military engagement abroad but what it indepth ghana stands troubles this is inside story. Hello and welcome to the program. The u. S. And the taliban appear to be inching closer to an agreement that could end afghanistans 18 year war american Officials Say negotiators have made significant progress President Donald Trump his peace envoy to afghanistan Zalmay Khalilzad and top security advisers held discussions on friday trump tweeted that meeting was very good and said many sides are looking to make a deal if possible the taliban and the u. S. Have held several rounds of talks in qatar but the group has refused to sit with the Afghan Government which it considers a puppet of the u. S. Charlotte bellus has been following those talks she reports from kabul. The talks between the u. S. And the taliban are very nearly agree when the 2 groups the u. S. Negotiators and the taliban negotiators in doha broke 2 oclock in the morning last monday they were stuck on just a single issue and its hard that that issue can be resolved which would lead to a signing of some type of agreement within the next week the americans are under a lot of pressure the taliban has told me that if the elections president ial elections go ahead here in afghanistan on september the 28th then any peace deal that has been negotiated with the americans over the last year is off the table the americans must try to get to some type of agreement over troop withdrawal and counterterrorism surance says which would allow them to move forward to whats on the stage 3 and talks the americans feel that it needs to happen as soon as possible because they are aware that and they are only about 6 weeks away now intra afghan talks would involve getting the taliban and afghan leaders all in the same word to try to come up with what a future afghanistan would look like with the taliban politically involved its unclear what that would mean for the elections but its understood that the taliban want to make some changes to the afghan constitution so that could mean some serious discussions with afghan leaders about how to structure a future political system within afghanistan ghani is being briefed along the way he was briefed before and after u. S. President trump had his meeting with michael on friday he has been very tight lipped about what has been discussed and what the u. S. Negotiators have told him and what might be expected of him Going Forward with in traffic and talks and speaking directly with the taliban afghans themselves are very frustrated that they remain in the dark and they are very unclear of what is being negotiated on behalf of them for their future with a lid on the 6 weeks away the war in afghanistan was launched in 2001 by president george w. Bush in response to the september 11th attacks the u. S. Led campaign put in. The rule of the taliban which had been in power since 1906 but the group remained active and u. S. And nato forces were deployed on the ground after nearly 8 years of fighting president barack obama increased u. S. Troop numbers to about 100000 and pledged to begin withdrawing American Forces in 2011 but that withdrawal was slowed as the taliban increased its attacks 1800 soldiers were supposed to stay in afghanistan until the end of 2016 that figure is now around 14000. 00 President Donald Trump 1st announced he intended to deploy more troops but during talks with taliban leaders trump hinted he would withdraw his troops from afghanistan. All right lets bring in our guests joining us from kabul enters our kadhim is director of the center for development and peace studies an independent think tank and former advisor to the Afghan High Peace Council in Belfast Michael semple is professor at the institute for global Peace Security and justice at Queens University belfast and a former official in afghanistan and from washington barrett gopalaswami is director of the south asia center at the Atlantic Council welcome to the program and is our let me start with you what exactly does the taleban want to achieve with these negotiations and how close do you think we are to seeing a deal finalized between the u. S. And the taliban. Well thank you very much i think were so close to the deal with the taliban and im sure that its a completely different thing we have to do the peace between taliban and american and the International Community also the the peace deal between the taliban and Afghan Government. Absolutely you think is an hour by the same time we have to ensure that what we have leaving behind a peace deal are we going to make a deep peace deal or are we making too many to ensure stability in long term stability and make an inclusive peace in afghanistan this one of the fundamental question right now arises in the afghan societies the technocrats in the youngsters and sometime we are already about the future so definitely were just moving on the right direction i am very optimistic from any other time in the past but it doesnt mean that our war in is in our our concern has been ended up we have to ensure and were just appealing to the United States for the 1st time as the this is meeting with the taliban face to face in they would like to iron out their differences they would like to agree on 4 things thats fine where we are thankful for that because the next stage will be the Afghan Government in the taliban negotiation a peace deal but the same time we should not be doing a peace deal for the sake of peace deal we have to be learning from experiences because the peace deal is also an academy discipline plus practical experiences afghanistan is not the only country on the face of or that suffering war for the last 300 years definitely if you look back to the history the afghan what is more complex interim of nature scope size and style and we accept that but that doesnt mean that we cannot solve it so for that reason we have to be assuring to follow some practical experience in cad to make base principles plus consider the sensitivity of the situation we should also ensure that what the Afghan People. And in this peace deal in that have to be considered a consider sure we ensure stability you do that in a socalled peace all right barrett answers are there was talking about how complicated the situation is in afghanistan so let me ask you President Trump definitely wants to see the u. S. Out of afghanistan before the 2020 elections or how difficult or easy does that make things for some a team of negotiators. Speech a few months ago at the United Institute of peace he had a very sore throat and he said this is what happens when you speak to the taliban nonstop for 48 hours so you know where we began on these negotiations its been an 18 year old war theres a lot of blood and treasure spilled theres a war fatigue in the United States theres an overwhelming sentiment in the United States as well as the International Community community as well as the Afghan People that the there must be some kind of settlement but the fundamental stumbling block of the settlement is the taliban not recognizing the presence of the the Afghan Government so i think those were the those were the starting points in this overall peace deal negotiation but to where weve come somewhere along this week that. Meeting that we might have a deer deal i think we made that much progress so i called the sentiments of my colleague that there are there are there are signs of some kind of a deal reaching but at the same time i also express the concerns of the worries that the deal should not be for the sake of a deal any deal thats not sustainable that compromises on the sacrifices that we have made in the last 8 years and also the progress made in the Afghan Society preserve at the women schools with some kind of an economy there. Deal that compromises all that theres a deal thats not worth making now what the parameters and the conditions of the deal will have to see what the outcome of that deal exactly looks like and. This worked extremely hard and the last ever since hes taken the position taken this appointment hes traveled numerous trips to the u. S. Made numerous trips to that region is made numerous internal consultations and its not easy and as he tweeted i think its a rhetoric but yet. Nothing is finalized until everything is finalized somewhere along those lines i think ill leave it there in Broad Strokes but we can go into the specific as we get into the discussion michael from your Vantage Point how much pressure both sides under to try to get this deal done and furthermore how would taliban fighters react if a deal is not finalised. Both sides are under tremendous pressure to achieve a deal and to do it now as they have very deliberately and frankly professionally managed to hide. The details of the negotiations those are just shared to the the people directly involved but both sides have been telling their own people that we are on the brink of success they would have to close a deal now or the process rapidly loses credibility now its a very good question what will they the taliban fighters make of this deal i think a lot of people have worried that taliban fighters really havent been involved they have been kept informed dealings inside the taliban have really been kept restricted to no more than 6 people only 6 people in the Taliban Movement understand what is going on theres been an assumption that many of the taliban fighters want to continue the war regardless because they reckon that with departure of u. S. Troops they can achieve complete victory so theres a you know there are some worries that they might actually not fall into line behind the deal of late ive been hearing some other picture that actually theres been so much talk of peace and frankly such heavy casualties on both sides that many of the taliban fighters no longer even really care about the details of a deal they want to see something which actually stops the fighting ironically we could be in a situation where the taliban fighters now have more expectations of the deal than their leaders are able to produce in the coming days and times are on saturday there was a brutal reminder that violence continues even with these talks going on as a backdrop you had a horrific attack on a Wedding Party in kabul dozens of people died as a result and eisel claimed responsibility for this attack in light of this attack and other recent attacks can the taliban credibly a guarantee that afghanistan would not be a sanctuary for violent groups to expand to plot new attacks if u. S. Troops were to fully withdraw. Let me tell you that the recent attack in kabul just daymond optimism for hope it was really attacking you personally so on a different afghanistan no one in afghanistan remain untouched but such casualties it has been one of the horrendous attack but its not the 1st its not the last the afghan casualties in the afghan daily water is its not a miracle its not a very absolute complexity but some more about the modern day docs in the the International Community negligences in the war for the last so many years you may have witness that we have been launch of iran war started gee we were just showing mixed messages far enemy and friend infos and the same time were just changing or started you from war to peace and from peace to war you just remembered the obama time and he was just telling that we would leave afghanistan in 2014 in the taliban become bolden and then just fart fun other 23 years in finally did the entire mission just sings in. The nation. You know when say that until everything is finalized nothing is finalized it seems fancy it its seems logical in nature but its not logical because when you ask taliban that when we make a deal this should not be any danger posed to the American Interest to the American Allies into the american nation what the truly means in how that danger can be parted how the taliban will be able to ensure that there is no treats posed to the American Interests and by the way were some aircon interests how we can define it how you can text allies that in for example in there is in 125 countries of the word american have a presence there or at least they have a friendship that so if anywhere something but it happens indian again taliban or blame to american and then to this community will be coming back so for that reason i think such attacks in afghanistan thats warning signal for both the taliban and for the buffet with the americans and they have to ensure that dickon not totally burned to ensure that the Afghanistan Government after a peace deal will not be a stronghold for terrorism end yesterdays attack is a very very clear sign that still afghanistan is a have for terrorism thats why its important that what it where we are just agreeing in this peace deal between all sides we have to be ensuring that were going to the details if anybody is quite clear on their rooms in responsibilities in the future let me ask you more specifically about i saw just how large is eisel footprint in afghanistan and how concerned is the taliban of isis reach in afghanistan. I mean you know from various reports that we can glean i think we do recognize there is that is some kind of. The there is a relatively significant footprint of eisel in afghanistan and thats you know that as concerned as in the past and that is still a still a worrying concern and the major concern is the further expansion or the potential to expand often eisel footprint in afghanistan and i think that thats predominantly where the american thinking on this issue lies and you know the issue of how we monitor any finances potential finances to help us grow how would it harm the American Interest and these are some of the broad concerns that lay that is that has always been a part of the thought process visa view regarding eisel the eisel footprint in afghanistan and regarding our concerns i think you know if the lessons elsewhere have the experience as also has been served as a lesson then. That those lessons are learned and are still being learned about how to address the threat in afghanistan michael what about afghanistans president ashraf ghani would a deal put him on a stronger footing or would it make him more vulnerable politically. Well in reality nobody quite knows how it will all fade outs are a president gunny has argued that to reach the right political deal with the taliban and that is a deal which happened after the us signed up the on the issue of the troops and we moved towards political talks to get the right deal and that ronnie has said that there should be a strong afghan president who can mandate a negotiating team who can reach reach the right deal now. As others have been working on this idea that early on in the political process there will actually be an agreement in the amongst the negotiators for an interim government which would essentially replace ostrog ronnies government now i mean those are 2 totally different vision visions of how they the political talks will play out so i think i think we should be very clear here that although it is possible in coming days we will see the sign off on a and an initial deal between the u. S. And the taliban the really the really difficult issues are those ones which will be addressed between the taleban delegate ssion and the and the afghan delegation which you know which may involve they hear the setting up of an interim government or may in indeed volved a deal essentially between the kabul government on the taliban or a date they simply might not Reach Agreement and says are when it comes to womens rights in afghanistan there is a growing amount of concern by womens rights activists about what the taliban might do Going Forward if a deal is struck if they are somehow sharing in power i want to ask you specifically has the taliban officially changed any of its policies with regards to women with regards to women being allowed to work or study i mean there have been some signs some indications that perhaps theyve softened some of their policies but it doesnt seem that anything official has actually emerged from the group. Well security analyst in historians are singling our the american would not been able in the last 1000 years to connect with the people thats why i thought id been were so far fighting with the International Community even though there have been 48. 00 of them in Afghanistan Taliban understand that sensitivity it in their understand that if they would like to fight with the whole nation they will not be able to to defend their position even for a day or so for the last 20 years now its a whole new generation people who came from east and west and theyre graduated from harvard in your city and then now theyre part of the Afghan Society and now you see that omens are part of the Afghan Society if they would like to riff them off from left and right instilled in the did they cannot work in they cannot go to these schools i think the that would not be a possible option on table for taliban leadership in taliban leadership i understand that a few afghan activists in leaders who was with the taliban in moscow in qatar for so many times they sneakily transform this message or flexibility in the position of taliban the government right so you see now enough in kabul that a number of very vocal ohman are joining the growing chorus of human rights in that fundamental we again does not go back to the 1990 s. Where omen would be just like chalk in their houses but the same time its afghanistan we cannot go to new york style and right so that they dont have to be a moderation in taliban or to be actually known that so no number one kind of one is not the taliban of 1990 s. And theyre exposed to word and words exposed to them sick and all men are part of the in indivisible part of afghanistan so if taliban would like to have a united front a United Nation they have to be having ohman part of the political process so also i think there is no clear statement. Even though its so far theres no time because the 40 usually there is this meeting taliban in americans so these womens rights are not part of that but im sure if a gun government is talking that could be part in taliban will have their clearance and that borrow it from your perspective what would President Trump be hearing now from his advisors with regard to the pros and cons of a deal of these negotiations. I mean i think president compass. In my view the president is as not what easier but the question that he is are always asking is when can i get my get the boys out of afghanistan and what would happen if i got the boys out of afghanistan and what likely make loads others telling him. In our conversations and one of the earlier conversations with michaels up was you know there does not have to be one solution that can be multiple solutions and the solutions can be a hybrid of each of these subsect subject of problems for example the subject of the thinking along these lines was what is the what does an architecture of a peace deal look like maybe this looks like peace maybe this looks like peace and if this looks like peace what are the necessary peace enforcing agreements were the parties that could enforce peace and who are the likely parties how durable is the sustainable its theirs and could we make a hybrid solution out of all these things thats available in our basket to say this is the best out of the various options that we could look like and President Trump as i would understand his probably hearing thinking saying how fast can i get the troops out of afghanistan what is the peace deal look like who are the contributions to this peace deal who are the enforcers how sustainable is this where is the money going to come from for this sustainability what is the role of roles and responsibilities of each purdys the borders the worst option worst scenarios and the best scenarios that will affect the United States interest like a just as my colleagues pointed out the United States has so many allies and bases across the world and france what are the likely ramifications what are the cut what im icons that im willing to pay and you know how long and how how deep is my inwall meant and how and more than import more than anything else remember we are going into an election scenario what is the victory speech that im going to give and what is the contours of that victory speech this is what is president these are the kind of questions that i believe President Trump will be asking sol Michael Barrett was just talking about president ial elections in the u. S. I want to ask you about president ial elections in afghanistan they are scheduled they are supposed to happen in september what is the status of that and do you believe they will go ahead as planned. The official position is that president ial elections will happen on the 28th of september i know in my my time in kabul recently i talked to an awful lot of political actors their. Opinion was completely divided there was a wide swathe of opinion who said that we must give prioritize a priority to achieving peace now to spoil in the elections push ahead with these negotiations where as those largely allied with the president were saying no we must get the elections are over on time produce a legitimate government and not government can monday the negotiating team for the peace opinion is split frankly i dont think anybody knows where these elections are really going to happen or not i know that there are people who are working hard to get them postpone the way they would get them disposed would be through a recommendation from the 1st round of the political negotiations but equally particularly supporters of the president are trying hard to go ahead with the elections to get him reelected to a 2nd term and then push ahead to peace talks and its a really ironic that were 5 to 6 weeks out from the elections and even the main players do not know if they will take place or not are i we have run out of times we are going to have to leave it there thanks so much to all our guests into our kadhim Michael Semple and beret gopalaswami and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website aljazeera dot com and for further discussion go to our Facebook Page thats facebook dot com forward slash a.

Its my privilege to name aljazeera english the broadcaster of the year the country as a fighting each other that weve been told that we constantly hear this is the largest demonstration thats been held by director g. s since over 700000 lives near the some of the nicest losers on the planet who fear all they think of the copy plus that here.

Thats the radio message from the portal source he to the adrian dab radio war which had been known as grey swan reflagged renamed and under way moving slowly through the anchorage and into the strait of gibraltar eastwoods along the mediterranean and no one knows what its destination is there lies the question mark about the end of one chapter and the beginning of the next is that deescalation insights in the strait of hormuz unlikely but there is of course what happened 2 weeks off the detention of this ship on july the 4th was the detention the seizure by iran of a british flag vessel which is still being held the expectation walls that there would be a reciprocal action by iran and the release of that tanker buts there was a big bump the United States is intended to pay is to pursue this. To further legs what those legs might be it would be far fetched to think that they would possibly assault this ship which is very probably the most tracked ship in the world right now in International Waters that sort of act is unlikely it would seem but then where will it go it could or where will it more and basically possibly trans ship these oil supplies elsewhere not any vessel taking them will be tracked as well so theres a long way to go in every sense not just the voyage but politically diplomatically this by no means is over right now as i say one chapter is over and this vessel is free.
