Police are describing a stabbing attack near London Bridge as a terrorist incident shot the suspect dead after he injured several people parts of the city remain in complete lockdown and thousands of people have been evacuated from the area will prob rain and is near runs and bridge where that incident happened where the force was happening right now. While im at the corner of the cordon which is basically at the foot of the shard of monsoon Thomas Street right next to guys hospital over my shoulder you can see the south side of London Bridge and where the cameraman auto is panning around at the moment thats London Bridge tube station and also London Bridge overland station the cordons are still in place just on a quick look on an online map we are half a mile away from where the incident took place so you can see just how wide a cordon the police have thrown around this incident theyre still very concerned despite the fact that the assistant chief commissioner of the met Office Employees and your boss who came out to give a News Conference a short while ago saying that the device that was strapped to the mans body the attackers body has actually now been found to be a hoax half a mile is a big top. And that paul just how did this unfold. The police have given a News Conference as i said they are basu gave more details in the past half an hour just around the 2 minutes to 2 pm this Afternoon Police were called to reports of a stabbing they attended and what they found on the north side of London Bridge was a scuffle a skirmish taking place between a group of men it appears that at this early stage some members of the public were tackling a knife man weve certainly seen video footage of a large kitchen come a carving knife thats been recovered from the scene ive also seen video footage of one man being pulled off the attacker by an armed Police Officer and then shots ringing out with them but the. He said then told us is that the man who was shot on the ground has since died there were other people injured stop wounds in the course of the instant they havent given an exact number some staff from the nearby chub station the underground station said 5 people were injured but the police are simply saying a number of people were injured and the investigations are still ongoing what the police have said is that its a terror related incident initially they were unsure they treat it as a terrible incident since in the circumstances its a kind of default position but they have confirmed that based on what they now know its a terrible related incident and its the anti terror command which are in charge of the investigation and during the course of the last couple of hours weve been speaking to eyewitnesses who were on that bridge lets hear now from one of them a nurse jackie bens field. Were stopped in traffic and all the sudden i see people Police Officers people running on the bridge people getting out of cars and getting off the buses. Going in their cars abandoned their cars about in the buses trying to get off and i see Police Officers with guns running running towards where i was heading. And so i just i see bang on the bus and try to get off the bus because i could and i started running and then i heard gunshots about 5 or 6 pop up pops and i see more Police Officers running towards the bridge and im running that running in one direction of his office is observant of that area. Probably one of the scariest on the right. Now the Prime Minister Boris Johnson is being kept informed the Police Officer who gave that News Conference that went to downing street to actually brief the Prime Minister personally weve also heard of the now his pay tribute to the bravery of the police who tackled the person and also to the bravery of the members of the public to also got involved the police are urging the public to remain vigilant but they said the moment theres no implication for a wider conspiracy or anything like that nevertheless the clones are going to stay in place here for some considerable time ok paul brennan there life is in Central London thank you very much indeed.

British police are describing a stabbing attack near London Bridge as a terrorist incident only shot the suspect after he injured several people parts of the city remain in complete lockdown and thousands of people have been evacuated. And a series of killings has provoked small protest amounts in the army of a town in the democratic republic of congo at least 28 people have been killed in our church this week survivor say the army and kill as peacekeepers arent doing enough to protect them. And formal talks have resumed between the Afghan Taliban and u. S. Officials the taliban has told all to syria some preliminary meetings have taken place here in doha and could pave the way for the resumption or formal peace talks President Trump council to go see asians in september following the death of a u. S. Soldier votes on a short trip to afghanistan he told american troops he believed the taliban was willing to strike a deal Stephanie Decker has more. It was a surprise visit and is often the case with President Donald Trump a surprising announcement taliban wants to make a deal and were meeting with them and were seeing as to be a cease fire they want to do is use fire but now. They do want to do is use fire i believe it probably work trumps admission their meeting with the taliban comes after the president abruptly broke off talks in september following the killing of a u. S. Soldier in a bombing claimed by the taliban talks had been making progress up until then the taliban has confirmed to al jazeera that some meetings have been taking place to pave the way for the resumption of talks the group also recently released 2 western hostages and 10 Afghan Soldiers in exchange for 3 of its Senior Leaders but Officials Say theres still no sign the taliban is ready to give up its weapons in exchange for a role in afghan politics demilitarization is a key demand from afghan president ashraf ghani but hes been sidelined while u. S. And taliban negotiators meet still ghani joint tromp on stage by graham air base and tweeted out highlights of the moment apparently keen to show he is relevant in the Peace Process for donald trump the priority is cutting down the number of u. S. Troops in afghanistan from about 13000 to just over 8000 and to help the afghans handle their own security were bringing in denver substantially and well be down in a number thats very good number and were going to stay until such time as we have a deal or we have total victory and they want to make it go over its been 18 years since the u. S. Launched its war in afghanistan pushing the taliban out of power the irony not lost that almost 2 decades on both sides in our negotiating an end to the fighting and if a deal can be struck it will more than likely see the taliban return to play a part in ruling afghanistan Stephanie Decker aljazeera. Michael semple is say visiting Research Professor at the institute for global Peace Security and justice at Queens University belfast he says there has to be compromise for more talks to go ahead. They taliban have to accept some form of Violence Reduction whether its partial or global you know the optimum one being a full full ceasefire but its possible they could agree to a more limited measures to reduce violence so they have to they have to agree to start turning off the violence and they have to agree to a pathway to direct talks with the with the Afghan Government and what the taliban have been saying in the past couple of months since that process broke down is that they there they are happy to reenter negotiations but only if the americans give them everything that they felt had been promised in that deal whereas the. On the other side this is there any americans have been telling them quietly that that deal became impossible because it had basically no 0 support inside afghanistan strongly opposed by the Afghan Government Public Opinion in kabul something is going to have to budge to to make this process acceptable to the Afghan People so the talibans insistence on. Restarting where they left off is actually reviving the deal that was dumped on the 7th of september seems to me like a nonstarter. When saddam the former ruling party of the deposed president is condemning dissolution plans by what it calls the illegal new government the Transitional Governments approved a main demands of protest is joining months of unrest a lot see it to solve the National Congress party as have the mortar reports from carts in the Prime Minister says its not some acts of revenge. It was once the dominant party in sudan ruling the country for more than 25 years now more than 6 months after its head leader was ousted sudans Transitional Government has announced that the former ruling party will be dismantled. The more dismantles the National Congress party and seizes its assets money and properties and gives it to the governments minister of finance a committee will be formed to ensure that any Organization Association Institution Union Company Partnership that has links to the former ruling party will be dismantled. The National Congress party came to power in 1992 a few years after it had already bashir overthrew a democratically elected government in 1989 the coup was carried out under the name of the National Islamic front bashir went on to create the National Congress party that ruled until he was ousted from power in april this year following months of antigovernment protests the december protests gained momentum after the burning of the National Congress Party Headquarters and. Despite it being the only party many sudanese knew the demand for it to be dismantled had become one of the protest movements main ins. Rattling a party doesnt mean its and it has to be remembered that establishing a new country would have to include establishing coexistence with those from the disbanded party and in a way where politics is practiced wisely i mean also man regards herself as the victim of one of the Party Signature laws that came to define the controversial public order act it severely curtailed womens rights and which was condemned by human rights in sudan new leaders say it will display. An attack that when i was arrested for refusing the offices called me names saying im not a real sudanese because i didnt follow the rules of the government they said they expected me to be from the south a christian. During its time in power the national. Part 2 left scars thats many continue to feel from turning 20 years of u. S. Trade in economic sanctions following accusations of supporting terrorism abroad to dividing a nation that was once africas largest country it now remains to be seen how straightforward eradicating it from sudanese political life will be people morgan puts on where protests leader has welcomed the changes but hes demanding they go further we are actually really excited about this rule it was like finally coming we were expecting it months ago and now that its happening this is the one thing that was all uniting us on october 21st we went in the big protests and the main aim was dismantling the National Congress party and to us this is an end of an era just having this rule is a big deal now when you want to talk about the deep state and all that and the committee that they put together theres only one thing thats really scaring us is for them to quit because the president of the committee is going to be from. The president ial council that we have right now and half of it is army people so were actually scared that one of the army people will be head of that committee because then Everybody Knows they used to be part of the n. C. P. So for us its like that has to be the 1st that we need one of the civilians to be the president and Going Forward were expecting good things i mean this is the start its strange its kind of the start of the end its the start of what we all wanted which is get rid of the National Congress party this dictatorship that will this for 30 years with all the bad things that came with it genocide or not but also its now the split between now this people in the government and there is the processes on the ground and now this is the last thing that united us so now we have a moment of unity thats happening right now.
