The arrest of those children sparked all of which became a battle without a hand that was the beginning of the Armed Struggle in syria. The boy who started the syrian war on al jazeera. Welcome back a quick reminder the top stories here on the aljazeera lebanons Prime Minister saad hariri hes meeting with his cabinet to discuss the new economic measures only the president michel aoun said the protests expressed peoples pain but said accusing all politicians of corruption is not fair. U. S. Troops crossed into iraq as part of their withdrawal from Northern Syria its believed at least 19 vehicles have gone through this a hell of Border Crossing heading to iraq northern kurdish region. And bolivias president is ahead in the election but it looks like hell have to face a runoff in december only results put longstanding leader ahead of his rival policy but not enough to win outright. Now the e. U. Has called for a cease fire in afghanistan Officials Say the breakdown in u. S. Taliban talks last month is an opportunity to push for a truce when on sunday u. S. Defense secretary made an unannounced visit to kabul and then attempt to revive those negotiations President Trump broke off talks with the taliban after the armed Group Carried out a bomb attack in kabul it killed 12 people including an american soldier let us defense secretary marcus as well the results of afghanistans election have been delayed his country remains committed to the region regardless of the outcome of the election our Security Partnership with afghanistan will remain strong our mission in afghanistan has not changed we continue to conduct Counterterrorism Operations while supporting the development of the n. D. S. The United States remains fully committed to helping afghans create a peaceful stable and prosperous afghanistan and of supporting afghans efforts led by the government towards peace lets bring in victoria funtown shes a professor of peace studies at the American University of afghanistan and she joins us live now from the capital kabul the tora fun town so what do you make of the school by either officials for a cease fire in afghanistan i mean how realistic is the call and why they saying this now do you think good afternoon directly when i think that this is a completely different scenario that the you with putting forward. The u. S. Has been doing until now to call it for a week and then maybe if you try it youll be and if everything goes well in would be rethinking you know there is a chance now because of the breakdown in the talks to actually call for an immediate cease fire and then. Instead of being discussing a withdrawal the e. U. We thank lets talk about peace and lets compromise next to a compromise and go for a fire before we actually go for the hard question though because a completely different situation ok but given that theres been a total breakdown in those peace talks between the u. S. And the taliban where is this opportunity of a truce going to come from do you think. Well it could come from the Afghan Government and of course the results of the election is going to be. Weighing in this equation the Electoral Commission going to make an announcement that we have a winner and thats we know. You know chad is actually going to be making t. Or the results going to be delayed and then you think going to be an election maybe in the sprigs so theres a lot of parameters here coming into play but the Afghan Government could definitely come back to the forefront of the discussion and and really become the protagonist of the discussion with the taliban but many people in afghanistan and International Observers are really angry that the peace deal only talks about a reduction in violence and not a comprehensive truce meanwhile the killing goes on the even the u. N. Says many 4000 civilians have been killed in the 1st half of 2019 alone absolutely and both parties to the conflict progovernment and Anti Government forces are equally responsible for the killing of the dns and those mass casualties at the beginning of the year each was the progovernment forces that were more responsible and now its the Anti Government so both sides are equally responsible and people are really tired with the violence and they want Something Different and they know that both the United States and the taliban have failed already and thats what theyre looking for another party to come in and actually only for a fun time thank you very much indeed for talking to aljazeera.

Vote for liberals because they dont want. The conservatives and liberals could each failed to reach a majority that could leave the smaller parties becoming kingmakers joining one of the larger parties to form a majority you do not need to choose between mr delay and mr deny there is another option but with the rise of incidents of anti immigrant sentiment illegal Border Crossings the birth of the populace Peoples Party in a controversial new bill in quebec banning religious symbols such as he jobs some canadians fear into immigrant populism is growing some say canada is not immune to the forces of populism weve seen elsewhere around the world but in country after country the u.

Whats next for the cattle on people in spain Pro Independence supporters are outraged at the jailing of separatist leaders following the latest mass march and violent protests and government leaders in madrid are dismissing catalan calls for talks what are the chances for a political solution this is inside story. Hello and welcome to the program im dead its 2 years since catalonia tried and failed to break away from spain but the campaign for independence hasnt died down the jailing of separatist leaders this week reignited the debate sparking a general strike and a mass march from all over catalonia to barcelona violent protests in the regional capital have raised questions about the reaction from spains government in madrid specially before next Months National election the regions Pro Independence leader kim told us has called for unconditional talks with the Spanish Government but the acting Prime MinisterPetra Sanchez has dismissed the calls saying must 1st unequivocally condemn the on rests. Yeah im with you joe thing good yes in as i said earlier its been 5 days and we still havent heard kudlow regional president toure firmly condemning the violence the same for members of his cabinet and other regional institutions nobody understands that they talk and talk for many minutes at a time without rejecting the by those who are expressing their solidarity towards the members of the Security Forces they must choose the way of the Democratic Institutions because there was no other way when the catalan president s call for talks came 2 days officers suggesting a new independence referendum should be held within 2 years can torah has called for calm but also said protesters wont shy away from their separatist cause not offensive as that its not that said experts defense of rights and freedoms must always be expressed peacefully we ask of everyone violence has never been and never will be our flag across catalonia like i was at that is that its not the cause of rights and freedoms is unstoppable we will go as far as the catalans want to go use them. For months we have asked the spanish Prime Minister to set a day and an hour to sit around the negotiating table unconditionally to speak and to talk well despite much of the focus being on the Pro Independence marchers there are not the only ones campaigning opposition rallies have also been held in catalonia i would many calling for a unified spain Charlie Angela has more from barcelona. But now it is for unionist rally in barcelona and these people have come from throughout the region consider themselves proudly casting in or out of the spanish and they head to condemn the protests that weve seen in the last few days people here believe passionately in the unity of spain and that is a view that is held by 48 percent of cast new means according to the latest poll that was held in july and thats versus the 44 percent of capacity and who believe that independence is the way forward both sides are looking to that politicians for a way out of this crisis you know the castle and president kim torah has also said to government to sit down and gauge and dialogue find a way out of this crisis but so far the acting Prime Minister had a sentence has rejected those will the talks he says torah must 1st come out and condemn the violence that we mostly saw on friday when protesters were Cutting Police with rocks and stones and setting fire to bins throughout the city so it seems that spain finds itself at an impasse just as another general election approaches charlie and the inside story well whats led to the latest protest so the independence question has divided catalonia for decades many believe the region strong identity culture and economy are good reasons for political separation from spain other catalogs dont want change an independence referendum 2 years ago was held in defiance of government leaders in madrid who said the vote violated spains constitution voter turnout was low but the majority did folks yes for separation the cattle on parliament in barcelona quickly declared independence spains government retaliated taking direct control of the region until the election of a new government the leaders of the Independence Movement were charged with sedition and arrested then given jail sentences of up to 13 years on monday. Lets bring in our panel to discuss all of this joining us from marcello via skype is one day hes a pro unionist and member of the cattle and Business Association in madrid via skype us what is a representative of the cattle on National Assembly and finally also via skype from barcelona one of the biggest said well hes an associate professor of Political Science at the university of atlanta welcome to all of you to this edition of inside story thanks very much for joining us a 105 day are spains government and the i think Prime Minister sanchez as your youve been hearing has dismissed the calls from catalonia as president for talks saying that he must 1st unequivocal condemn the unrest but surely there needs to be a way to address the grievances so if there is no political dialogue what happens then well enough to be hell. For them is where you have spread you. Yet if you get out qualifying when you read the rollout of those ideas for work you dont get that qualified you need to keep negotiating you need to keep trying to convince the other to your your your objective and this is you know just use the space site. Many issues but the real dialogue the real that is going to have. Facts in the parliament so you think of the acting Prime Minister is correct when he dismisses calls for a dialogue at this point. At this point well no i mean that theoretically as they said its a good thing if its done in the right frame in the right frame of rule of law and in the right scenario in the run up we know its in the parliament to have start outside the parliament i think its too tired because especially when there is instability and violence on the streets so 1st of all what tara has to do it mr gore has to do is its called then electrically the violence on the streets stop the riots stop the the calcium barcelona and one everythings to stop the lies to reopen the parliament efficiently and try to score to discover that 80 years in the parliament trying to convince all in my community of in peace qualify me unity to move to take it forward to do this outside the rule of law and the only brief instability and violence. To well do you agree with that assessment that dialogue can only be done in parliament and not the direction it should go in. Yes i completely agree with my colleague as im a question with the when if this is clear why it is not possible to reach to the scenario and in the sense i think its very important to understand to what to what extent Political Leadership imagery and particularly in barcelona are very weakened in recent times. Because not only because we are in a literal campaign so political leaders are very attentive to their electorate and they are taking care of all their decisions trying not to. Lose some of the voters taking the risk of the seasons but with a more broad perspective. The program in catalonia and particularly the evolution in the last 2 years. Shows. The problem of having a baby weak leadership on the cuts and insight because the more important the more prominent leaders are in jail and it seems they are going to be for a few more time and this is not only for early period on the suspicion is tight but as they are all the dissent this is also. And making dis movement more difficult to control because the more the leaders are not there in order to bake relate to personalise pragmatic issues in the same in the same time in missouri we have had for more than 6 months a caretaker government that was issued from a knock on to this vote one year and a half ago and we have have we have been. Ruling the country with minority governments for 4 years we dont have to forget that in november we will have the 4th election in 4 years so weve met an already government with a body divided party. Both sides and with some of the leaders of this issue aside e. J. Just very hard to see how both sides can take can engage in pragmatic burglary in order to buy an extra 2 to this problem ok here is an important point that many important points in fact one of which is on this upcoming spanish elections which well get to in a moment but 1st let me bring in now carla suarez because. Torah he did say that the violence does not reflect the peaceful nature of the Independence Movement but why do you think that he has not unequivocally condemn the unrest and the violence well to be honest he has condemned the violence many times against. Selfdefense from the profit protestors athlon side but lets not forget that the sentences for the catalan Political Prisoners which have already spent 2 years in jail are shameful spain has shown to the world to tell him to go if he comes 1st for democracy and since they were published on monday the situation of Police Control in catalonia 579. 00 when the Police Including the 8 journalists would in fact 4 people have lost an eye on Police Attacks 2 protesters are on life threatening condition by now theres been a 179 arrested including 21 activists who are preempted jail most of them 18 or 19 so young teenagers a new generation look at a little bit and she was in right now its a complete chaos ok so many options that caroline government is facing. Well the government should try to lead and channel the process and basically try to find 1st peace and show that theres an end to Police Violence 2nd freedom release of all Political Prisoners and free selfdetermination a binding referendum in catalonia monitored by the European Union one half a day are whats your take on what carla suarez just had to say. In the mystery. Summary wed like building into the realities. Sizes now that they are in well you have acknowledged and now i think everyone who saw d me so that was nothing but. Balance that this is very. Last. Minute. They have big play they are. Past it. And they have but surely you understand but surely you understand one surely
