A strike over proposed Pension Reforms is causing major transport disruptions in the french capital the Public Transport Company says 10 of paris is 16 natural lines a closed workers are opposing a pension plan thats expected to make the walking to make the walk longer before retirement natasha buff is joining us live from paris if i understand it correctly natasha this is the biggest. Sports strike in paris for more than a decade this must be chaos for travelers. Yes the biggest transport strike in paris well here is a movie star the main make sure im going to shot says in a city trains also not working operating in a very scant its cool very minimal a surface you can imagine its real calles people trying to get around the city to work or to school i mean i just crossed at paris and there are people everywhere really crowding the pavements walking or trying to use bikes saw a stooges alternative modes of transport to try and get to where they need to get now the transport as you can see some of them behind me some actually at the headquarters here in paris they are on strike they pulled this one day of action because they are angry crowds the french president plans to reform the Pension System no matter what michael says the front susPension System is very complex he says its unfair and it costs the french states a lot of money so what he wants to do is trying to streamline it standardize it and make it more sustainable for the future but the worry in the concern of some of these transport well this is that many of them might have to work on that because at the moment the retirement age in front says 62 but some jobs including those who work in transport some of them can retire and already at around 55. 00 so theyre worried about the us mail also why are they going to have some of that pension payouts eroded. Natasha obviously the president is going to face a backlash from the workers but how easy is it going to be put to for him to push through these Pension Reforms is he going to face all position politically as well. But it wont be easy for the government to push through these forms because no previous president s have tried all fronts is a Pension System for decades and they have actually failed to make any major changes to it because pensions a part of this french social system the people in france who very attached to pensions also affect everybody everybody has to pay into a public pension private pensions are very rare in front so something that everyone feels very strongly about the model micro it really is a real personal risk in many ways because hes had a difficulty with the yellow vest protests here in front but recently his opinion poll suggests that his popularity is actually on the pro is that could be because the economys getting a bit better so it could be because unemployment rates are going down and also because he seems to make a real effort to try and reduce his are good and thats what people told him they say that he comes across as very arkansas he seems to be working on that trying to be a little bit more sensitive to peoples needs a bit more in touch with their concerns so what hell want to do is very very carefully because of course he will not want every turn to the sort of street demonstrations that we have seen and felt safe these past months but also thanks very much indeed.

That dalla band harder in the last 4 days that theyve been hit over 10 years thats the way it is the president s move surprised the talibans leaders after 9 months of negotiations in doha he seemed to most of the differences with the United States had been result the u. S. Special representative for afghan by conciliation Zalmay Khalilzad even sit a Peace Agreement had been finalized in principle. One of the most important points a gradual draw the 14000 american soldiers. To the u. S. Quitting the negotiating table 10 peace be achieved in afghanistan and if so what would it take. The talibans political spokesman to do so hail shaheen took to aljazeera. Will come. We have here with with us in the studio today mr mohammad so insane the spokesman for the Political Office of taliban and the member of the negotiating team here in doha thank you for being with us thank you very much let me start with the negotiations that the president announced. The end of it did that come as a surprise to you. So you know when youre him yes it was. It was astonishing for us. Because we had a crew did the Peace Agreement with the american a you negotiation team. And we had to do the talks for are almost one year and in the end we concluded a Peace Agreement and also we concluded the dian exists and implementation framework of the Peace Agreement then both heads up that it was team initial the copies one copy of that was given to the qatari side and one copy. We got the word copy and one american team. And after that. That chief of the Political Office and d. P. I. Meter of they slam make a minute of afghanistan for political appears and hes a delegation had a meeting with dr khalilzad and general scott miller they were happy with. A Peace Agreement and they talked about that about the 70 of signing the Peace Agreement amidst that that preach was a way to start uprising in a store stitching for us so the last thing you heard from mr them i said is that and general scott miller the chief commander of u. S. Troops and nato troops in afghanistan was about actually the ceremony for signing the agreement and not the stoppage of the negotiations is that correct. No there was no hint no sign only they. Talked during that meeting about the ceremony of signing the. Signing the agreement to an invitation to be extended to 40 minute states of about 24. 00 a countries work and also they talked about their communication channel which was. Also part of the agreement and we had appointed. People for the communication channel in order to facilitate implementation of they claim and that was discussed during that meeting that was the last meeting that our. Chief of the Political Office. With scott miller and dr after that that meeting which i mentioned there was another meeting with him and that meeting that they were. No sign. No hint about what was mentioned in their trips that was really really surprising for us so when was that meeting what was it on saturday for example. Yet. You really know exactly. The date but it was after. Meeting and which they discussed the communication channel and also the about the ceremony they had that another meeting so it was the topic was. Similar topics some addition but similar topics so during these 2 meeting have you ever confirmed actually that you are going to see President Trump on cam davids on sunday as per the tweets of i President Trump himself did you ever confirm that youre going on sunday yes it was. Given by dr to us. And we we discussed this. In the Political Office and incomplete accepted that invitation and we can read our message or product article exactly that we accept that invitation and we will go to visit the United States. That after the. Signing ceremony the Peace Agreement. Because the side the city many of the Peace Agreement will create a lot more spirit that it will be you know reduction in while in and will be a good spirit inside up on the stand because up there after the signing of the ceremony that actually implementation of the Peace Agreement will start and it will it will create a card to sort must be have to go there and that be we can read that message to him that would be a proper time. So in his tweet President Trump claimed that the beating between you and president chum or. Should the world on sunday im asking here about the signing of the agreement ceremony that was supposed to be here in doha wasnt the same they were that sunday as well or a different they were it wasnt agreed upon the expected date of the ceremony was to be fixed. By all sites and. The ceremonies to be held. It was decided to be held here in doha. It was to be held here in doha in the presence of International Witnesses and the presence of media that was decided that was not or that it will be signed david. It was decided to that we knew was but the date was not fixed but it was generally. Decided that it will be held in during one week with in one week. So in this case do you consider the tweets by President Trump as incorrect when he claimed that the meeting was should was on sunday yes they give us so this is 2 Different Things one is. His idea in were titian that we accept it and that is the date. That we had. One we they gave us the other 2 did but we had our own week that it is appropriate to to go after the signing of the. City money for. Mentor because a before that we did not see spite sue said being northeast part is means that a deal will be x. From each sites are they had x. I want you to treat. That italy it by attacking some parts but after the. Beginning of or the implementation of the Peace Agreement so all these things will stop and that would create you are most of your reporter visiting the United States that was our we point i do we can with that our we point to him to dr colleagues so according to your statements to mr hariri the agreement was ready for signature by the president of us a and for the ceremony for signing the agreement but we dont know a lot about the agreement can you tell us more information about that what what you actually agreed upon there are some mom main points and main parts of Peace Agreement when withdrawal of all forces from abroad its not sick and not allowing anyone to use the side of a one side against the United States its allies. To begin enter of one negotiations for that since spider will be an item of agenda of discussion during intra afghan negotiations that were 4 words up the Peace Agreement so according to what youre saying the ceasefire was never part of the agreement no that was not part of. Negotiation with the american side we had 2 topics or 2 parts with the americans one to talk with them about ending the occupation about understand or withdrawal of Foreign Forces from abroad some 2nd our obligation not allowing anyone to use the side of a bad stand against the United States and its allies that was 2 main parts that we discussed with the american side that i mean in 2 parts we were to discuss with them with the afghans and the really the americans agree to that was droll without a ceasefire the american agreed with withdrawal and we agreed that during the era drawn
