Warns the global risk of coronavirus is now very high around 50 countries already affected. Stocks in the u. S. Continue to slide coronavirus takes its toll on global markets. Hello after a week of what was labeled a reduction of violence in afghanistan the u. S. And Afghan Taliban are expected to sign a provisional peace deal that could put an end to americas longest running war President Donald Trump is sending his top diplomatic qatar for the historic signing and says the Afghan People should embrace the chance for a new future but theres a long way to go the deal is seen as a possible 1st phase for the taliban to hold talks with the. Government in kabul to decide the future course of the country so lets take a look at how we got to this point the talks began in september 28th with the appointment of the u. S. Special envoy. Himself an immigrant from afghanistan so american diplomats military representatives and the taliban held more than a dozen rounds of negotiations in doha with the talks briefly called off by President Trump in september the u. S. Team wanted the taliban support in its counterterrorism efforts while the taliban demanded a full withdrawal of Foreign Forces from afghanistan and the us said it would only sign an agreement if the taliban called a ceasefire and scheduled to go directly with the Afghan Governments osama bin jeff aid spoke exclusively to the taliban spokesman so hell shaheen who is hopeful this will be the start of bringing stability to the country. It is significant for our people for our country in the whole region. Because for 4 of one people they will have their independence they will. See their creation ending and also for the original that when stability and peace return to outline is that there will be a phase of. Commercial activities and development and we have built a shrine of our premised on so thats really really important and significant for us it has and of reduction of violence the plan is to expand it but theyre the attacks have not stopped taliban have attacked convoys off the Afghan Government there have been skirmishes isabelle what makes you think that peace in the venison is going to come about by this agreement and of course it was a reduction in war lintz as we call it to provide a secure in in water went before the signing after agreement and that we did and and the other thing is that there was some kind of war you we have not attacked any convoy in the year 2 trees in the 2 trees held by the coverlid ministration did the some of those convoys were attacked when they came out from their places and into to our trees so that was a kind up or why nation and our. People on the ground they stopped it you dont accept cobbles government as the legitimate government you call it a line that ministration how are you going to be talking to them because that is the biggest Sticking Point that the taliban would not agree to talk to the Afghan Government how have you come to terms with that as a god meant we did not regret equalise it. Because we think it. Protractor of 4 and that is a lot of the occupation which has been installed in impose on the people of our part is come back to as a party to the complex it is that he and we accept that they are a party to the conflict and in that sense we were. Doing neither into our new bush ation we will talk to them besides our that i want cites so this is the 1st phase where the taliban and the americans have agreed to some terms about the gradual withdrawal of u. S. Forces as deliberate action violence what are the terms of that agreement and what happens next yeah after the. After of the signing of the agreement of course we are well a kind of had the confidence Building Measure and during that 5000. 00 prisoners of war they slim cumulative up run is done in 1000. 00 prisoners of the Kabul Administration will be released and when we finished our complected complete this phase then we enter an other phase which is negotiation during that phase we will have discussion among all of our sides and they will discuss the future islamic good mentor the ford similar delegates in other. Words that they may bring to the table the allegations from the afghan side is that everyone does not accept ground realities this fear is that when the sun will go dark if the taliban is allowed to rule of going to run on Civil Liberties on Girls Education and basic rights on democracy what will you say to assure the Afghan People that this is good for afghans it wont reverse them and take them back 10 years from before. It is not really a reality when they see these are those people who are we call it spoilers. The piece. We have 70 percent of the treaty of our plants that you see there is peace and there is a. Commercial activities there is schools so if you go out there. And and when the security is more in in those areas and there are control rather than in the main cities provincial cities that govern the capital kabul so about womens rights a woman one that harbored their right to education and their right to work we both accept and give them as per the islamic rules that only that they observe that age are really that so there is no problem with that about freedom of speech i think it is part of the islamic rules and there should be constructive criticism of. The society of the. Shells and if that is not how we can make a report in the society that is i think part and parcel of they slimmy course well pakistans foreign minister will be at the signing off the deal between the u. S. And the taliban scheduled in cats are on saturday some hold gracey also sat down with aljazeera and insists that a political settlement is the only way to end the conflict. But pakistan has played the role of a facilitator pakistan as you would nor has suffered a lot because of the situation in the region would be a huge prize in human terms and in economic terms and we have already been advocating that there is nobody dissolution to deal of harm conflict what you need is the. Political settlement yet glad that the world has finally can words to that point of view and now the talks. Then took off there were 10 rounds of difficult box but finally seems that we are nearing an agreement and hopefully it will be signed. So donald trump has said that he will send his secretary of state my pompei o 2 dollar ha tomorrow to witness the signing of a taliban Peace Agreement thats aimed at bringing u. S. Troops home from afghanistan lets not bring in rosen jordan joining us from washington what more are you learning about the contents of that agreement resident. Well in very Broad Strokes daryn the idea is for all u. S. Forces to leave afghanistan which of course something that donald trump the u. S. President wants however the pentagon has said that it would be willing to cut the number of u. S. Forces from about 12213000 down to about 8500 it says in that way the u. S. Would still be able to assist the Afghan Military as it carries out it both its internal and external security requirements the other part that seems to be in play is the idea that those of members of the taliban who were of picked up on the battlefield and who are being held by Afghan Forces would be released that number could be anywhere from several 100 to about 5000. 00 or so but its expected that theres going to be some pushback from the Central Government in kabul about that release the important thing is that this means that hostilities between the u. S. And the taliban would be considered over and the more difficult work the more important work of the taliban and then negotiating with members of the Afghan Government for some sort of countrywide peace deal with didnt start in about 10 to 15 day. Like youre saying you know this deal can be signed or this expected deal but then the hard part really begins so is the feeling that this agreement will bring in long term peace to afghanistan. Well i think what is really important to note is that for so many years almost 2 decades here in the United States the taliban was essentially not considered a legitimate political entity certainly the u. S. Did not have any engagement with afghanistan when the taliban was in power in the late 1990 s. But because of the years of negotiation with the taliban leadership to try to get to this moment the u. S. In effect has legitimized the taliban as a political entity and so for those in the afghan political sphere who might say that they should not be negotiating with people that they consider terrorists it would be very easy now for washington to go back and say look we sat down and we negotiate it we did the hard work we signed a piece of paper we shook hands you need to make this work you need to find a way to secure your country politically and militarily for the good of your people if the United States can do it you can do it and certainly that is leverage that this Current Administration has now gained over the civilian Political Leadership in kabul now whether or not that makes it easy for pompei oh the u. S. Secretary of state and Zalmay Khalilzad who is the special representative for afghanistan and pakistan to actually keep the negotiation process on track well thats something we have to see but they certainly do have more leverage now that the signing is about to take place. For now thank you for that update from washington. Now the head of the United Nations is calling for an immediate truce in syria and labeled the killing of dozens of turkish troops one of the most alarming moments in the 9 year war and in a new round of shelling late on friday a turk a soldier was killed and 2 others wounded well this comes a day after 33 turkish troops were killed in air raids by russian backed Syrian Forces the president s of turkey and russia have since spoken by phone in an effort to defuse tensions and are looking at holding an urgent meeting to discuss new measures to normalize the situation and following the attack on turkish troops ankara warns it would no longer stop Syrian Refugees from entering europe its prompted greece on bulgaria to step up security on their borders the u. N. Secretary general antonio terrace says the situation is at risk of getting out of control in recent days ive warned repeated lee about the risk of a cd is escalation of your steely thiis in northwest syria i fear that with the events of the past 24 hours we have reached that point these one of the most alarming moments across of your nation is the syrian conflict without urgent action the risk of even greater escalation grows by the oh how someone sent us this report from the turkey syria border. Turkish soldiers being evacuated from syria after being attacked by sea and Government Forces images like these have created shock and. Awe and growing calls for revenge. Turkish military hit Syrian Army Positions in retaliation for the death of dozens of its soldiers in southern. Turkey blames the Syrian Government for the airstrike that targeted a military outpost officials here also accuse rochelle failing to deter syrian Government Forces who have recently stepped up their attacks against the soldiers. These attacks happened despite the location of troops being coordinated you know at once with russian officials on the ground unfortunately the attack continued after we werent following the 1st strike. Feeling abandoned by its e. U. Are lies turkey warned it wont prevent refugees from crossing into europe European Countries alarmed this might turn into a mass exodus of refugees fleeing the conflict in syria turkey has been calling on the e. U. To share the burden of the refugee crisis and on nato to deploy pair to it besides on the border with syria but nato doesnt seem to be willing to provide military support offering for the time being the sympathy by call on them to stop their offensive to respect International Law and to back you in efforts for a peaceful solution to this dangerous situation must be deescalated urge an immediate return to the 28 cease fire. As tension mounts turkish and russian officials held talks in unkind to defuse tension turkey wants the syrian army to pull our behind the Demilitarized Zone stop its offensive and the loss of millions to return home. Russia is a key ally of president bashar assad who jacked turkeys expanded presence in syria and insists the often saved by his troops is legitimate and will continue and if russia and turkey fail to overcome their differences they might and bogged down in a wider and prolonged original confrontation in syria but ill just see about jill vegas one Turkish Border with syria.

More now on one of our top stories the escalating tension between turkey and russia over syria and the broader impact that may have in europe on the middle east so turkey is seeking broader support for its operation in northwestern syria and is stepping up the pressure on the e. U. By allowing refugees to travel on words to europe thats prompted garia to step up security on their side of the border to try to stop anyone coming through turkey made an agreement with the e. U. In 2016 at the height of the refugee crisis under that deal ankara was to resettle Syrian Refugees and stop them crossing the Eastern Mediterranean route from turkey to greece turkey hosts around 4000000 refugees and says it cant cope with any more people fleeing the latest violence in libya. Well the nearby greek island just 15 kilometers off the coast of turkey is a reading struggling with the effects of overwhelming migration locals there have been fighting back against camps on the island while the government demands european supports. Many times the turkish government has threatened to open its borders and release refugees into europe in large numbers once again this was the scene on the shores of the greek island of lesbos already a nightmarish place for the 10s of thousands of men women and children who crossed over from turkey and are now trapped here in itself doing a riving isnt any different from what happens on any other day but the implication was that the turkish authorities didnt try to stop it the greek government is asking for increased european support. For your daughter your but needs to help not just with personnel and equipment you need to help protect mali time borders that are great and european i have asked frontex to reinforce the coast guard with personnel boats and technical names greece already operates about 40 Coastal Patrol vessels and boats along its 1000 kilometer long maritime border with turkey and its adding 19 new boats over the next couple of years but its going to need help now if turkey makes good on its threats to send refugees into europe on mass. The route was being cleared for refugees much further north on the land border with turkey there were reports of people being bussed from istanbul to the border town of a didnt a haven for people traffickers and unlike in recent months the Turkish Military did absolutely nothing to stop people then making their way on foot towards the wide everest river the border with greece is the stumbled again youre coming from istanbul our aim is to get to germany there are syrians with us algerians palestinians there are people from every country this want to take a 100 times you know they can. Arrived here at the turkish Greece Border police are on near the site and theyre not letting migrants in weve got lots of problems here we want to work in europe to open the borders because of these problems the Immediate Response from the greek side was to tear gas the several 100 people who had gathered right on the border with the Prime Minister warning loudly that greece was closed to this new wave athens also sent more special forces to the land border to try to prevent people coming across the general supposition is that turkey is threatening to manipulate the refugee flows as a direct threat to the European Union to reengage in the situation in syria and the humanitarian crisis that has engulfed people in it live if the e.

Sort of interaction between the 2 conflicts that is not favorable for peace in either one ive spoken to senior u. N. Officials working on both syria and libya the 2 conflicts are very different theyre a very different problems in both countries but they say they now sometimes have to look at it the same way they believe the russians and turks are sometimes looking at it as a 2 front war in togo police and demonstrators have kloster in protest against the outcome of last weeks election president fire grassing bay won with 72 percent of the votes his opponents called for the protests claiming election fraud.
