Democratic president ial candidate the vital boost it needed. A deal signed between the u. S. And the Afghan Taliban may have already hit a major stumbling block afghanistans president afghani says the government did not commit to releasing 5000 taliban prisoners and it cannot be a precondition for talks with the group a prisoner swap was part of the accord signed in qatar on thursday the agreement is meant to pave the way for the withdrawal of all american and nato troops from afghanistan and a long lasting peace i will go live to hot abdelhamid in kabul in a moment but 1st this report by osama bit of a its. The United States has agreed on a deal that could see the complete. Running war in the next 14 months. Thanks. We recognize america shouldnt fight in perpetuity in the graveyard of empires if we can help afghans forge peace. And we have respect we believe that the Afghan People are ready to shirk their own course forward. Negotiating in. Peace. And if we continue to fight against. Them. Commitment. In a matter of days. We are committed to this agreement. The Afghan Nation has been suffering for the past 4 decades we have suffered tremendously and i hope that with the withdrawal of all Foreign Forces from afghanistan. Under the government on a new prosperous life while the deal was signed in a ceremony was also taking place in the capital of kabul u. S. Secretary of defense and nato chiefs. President his government of the negotiations and the doesnt recognize it but under. The u. N. Security council to lift sanctions on the. Agenda for discussion with. Their discussions with the United States. They should be ready to discuss their relationship with their state and non states sponsors a verifiable system for cutting their ties with all transnational terrorist groups their dependence and involvement the narcotics and other Transnational Criminal Organizations positivity the foreign minister from neighboring pakistan with longstanding ties to the taliban was in doha for the signing we have nothing to hide. Crossproduct can be over so. Far as. Being a positive contribution to the positive. There was a big contingent of taliban in doha to show their support for the deal they say it will do you. Realize that. Today is a huge historic day some a day like today was celebrated by and sisters a century ago after defeating the brits and then 30 years ago for defeating the soviets today we witness al leadership signing a withdrawal deal of occupying American Forces and victory deal of the holy warriors of. The Us Government says victory will be achieved when the Afghan People live with no fear important forces are not afraid of attacks they said this was history in the making of real chance for lasting peace in afghanistan and the signing is a stepping stone towards it but all parties to the conflict realize that there is real work for lasting peace in afghanistan has just begun osama bin job without a 0. Other adult have made says i farce and kabul harder as osama mentioned the real work starts now less than 24 hours since that deal was inked a shotgun and now says he never agreed to release taliban prisoners as a precondition to intra afghan talks how major an issue is that likely to be. Well its going to be a very big issue because actually just last night a few hours after deciding ceremony in doha u. S. Envoy Zalmay Khalilzad said that he was going to be in kabul in the coming days she to discuss the technicalities of this prisoner swap 5000 taliban released in exchange of a 1000 Government People from the government side to be released that are held in the taliban jails so its going to be a big problem now you heard quote quite clear from 70 he said that the Afghan Government did not agree to dad that the deal was between the americans and the taliban and that wont happen as a condition for the interim afghan talk and the release of prisoners should be part of the whole package of what those talks will bring about and what kind of compromise both sides will have that is surely going not going to go down very well with the americans because you heard it over and over again and you heard it even yesterday from the taliban leadership theyre expecting that to happen sooner rather than later. I mean theyre live in kabul thank you. Turkey has carried out attacks against the syrian army in northwestern targeting several government posts come comes rather as turkeys deadline passed for the russian backed syrian army to retreat from the region russia and turkey agreed to reduce tensions on the ground on saturday at least 34 turkish troops were killed in a bombardment in syrias last rebel held region. Well as hundreds of thousands of people trying to escape the fighting turkeys president says borders will remain open for Syrian Refugees and migrants thousands have already attempted to cross into europe has their start to seek new lives athens says it has blocked thousands of migrants at its border crossings the number is expected to hit up 230000 in the coming days natasha good name isnt it danny on turkeys border with greece and whats happening there behind you. Fortunately the temperature is starting to warm up but overnight it reached below the Freezing Point here in making for a very uncomfortable night for refugees who spent it out in the elements the International Organization for migration or i. O. M. Says more than 13000 refugees were out in the cold last evening fortunately they were able to provide food enter distributing basic supplies there are now humanitarian teams here on the ground assisting but this is a very somber and i would say heartbreaking situation when we arrived this morning i saw babies wrath bundled in blankets sobbing some of them literally sort of sleep walking if they were old enough to walk doing that thing that kids do when theyre simply exhausted we spoke to a man from nigeria who spent the night behind me past the checkpoint near the border with greece he said it was freezing and miserable there was no one there to assist them the Turkish Interior Ministry says that more than 47000 people have left the country since turkey opened its borders on friday left via the northwest border with Turkey Greece and a ball garia but the journeys ahead are quite unclear while many people are coming to this official checkpoint were also seeing that others are trying to leave turkey via other entry points on our way here along the Highway Police were diverting vehicles with refugees to a river where people were trying to answer a grease that waves smugglers are now charging thousands of dollars and people are telling me that theyre spending every last penny that they have simply for the opportunity to earn more themselves from lives of stagnation here in turkey but the road ahead is a bit unclear. Or the picture is changing this morning were seeing taxis gathered here near the checkpoint negotiations going on because people are turning back we saw a group of refugees negotiate for about 165. 00 to take their group back via a taxi to istanbul thats a 3 and a half hour drive thats in contrast to the fact that since friday buses packed with refugees for free have been bussing people from istanbul here to the border were expecting to see more of those buses arriving but the fact that people are telling us that theyre starting to turn back gives you an idea of just how uncertain and difficult the journey is remember that people are trading stability and security that theyve been enjoying here in turkey for the chance to possibly make their way deeper into europe they tell us they want to specifically go to western europe to earn a Better Living to have freedom of movement and the chance to attain goals that they aspire to they feel like theyre stuck here in turkey and theres simply nothing that they can do behind me i dont know if you can see it theres a fence thats been erected on this road this actually is not to prevent refugees from proceeding on to the checkpoint with greece its to prevent journalists from following them look at the situation up ahead from what we see on local media the last few days is very difficult what happens is even if they are allowed to pass over the border with turkey they become stuck in a no mans land in between that and the border with greece yesterday they were met with a cloud of tear gas as greek authorities attempted to prevent them from entering the country ill just say as a house can i thank you the greek government says it prevented more than 4000 refugees from entering the country on friday joints are all of us reports from the greek island of those balls the main entry point for refugees and migrants in the aegean. A single boat load of refugees is escorted to the shores of less force high winds have likely prevented many others from crossing but they are forecast to die down and more boats are expected to come all who arrive and up here in moria camp there are 22000 people here 7 times what it was built for and many have to find space among the olive groves most are from afghanistan theyve escaped war and death but many say they havent found life here there are no formal schools so 14 year old for operates his family stand selling fruit and vegetables is morea good not good. Or bad. Maybe a small maybe that people here have little to do but wait for their asylum applications to be decided upon and their wait has just become much longer a new asylum law took effect at the beginning of the year that fast tracks new applications so the trajectory applicants can be sent back to turkey as quickly as they arrived but that discriminates against people like these who arrived as a family 5 months ago we had into the smart. 26. And they did it but they dont take it to you they see you only take in tales from the people this year and you have until you 10 months in exile turkey agreed to take back her attorneys in a 2016 statement signed with the European Union and the greek government says it plans to return at least 10000. 00 people this year but whether turkey will all of that agreement in the current Political Climate is an open question so the greek governments entire refugee strategy now hangs in the balance many local people say they have little faith in this new policy for young. Owns one of the olive groves next to moria. Parish pictured your year ago the refugees were chopping limbs of trees to cook with at the but we can still harvest a few olives this year was a bumper crop but we couldnt pick a single olive my land was burned twice then they pitched a few tens onto the burned patch and soon after the land just filled up with tents. The government is using lesbos as a holding area but many greeks fear that if turkish president had a chapter you threatened flood of refugees becomes a reality the European Union could try and use their country as a buffer zone for the rest of the continent John Psaropoulos aljazeera lesbos the us is tysons travel restrictions for countries most affected by corona virus after recording its 1st death from the infection President Donald Trump called for calm after confirming a man died in Washington State the u. S. Is banning all travel to iran and blocking entry to any foreign citizens who visited iran in the past 2 weeks its also issued do not travel warnings to parts of italy and south korea trump is considering closing the border with mexico despite the southern neighbor having only 4 confirmed cases additional cases in the United States are likely but healthy individuals should be able to fully recover. And we think that will be saved and that we can make with great surety now that weve gotten from me with this problem they should be able to recover should they contract the virus so Healthy People if youre healthy. You will probably. Go through a process and youll be fine.

From. The us president s proposed plan for the middle east is less territory to be out of style than any other peace plan since 1988 the problem was that after the break was that as we have failed because of this one then he was biased of United States the what israel how much time palestinian Prime Minister told challenges era. Told a number told stories from asia and the pacific on aljazeera. Youre watching aljazeera a reminder of our top stories this hour the deal signed between the u. S. And the Afghan Taliban may have already had a major stumbling block got a stones president gone east as the government did not commit to releasing 5 bells of taliban prisoners and that cannot be a precondition for talks with the prisoner swap was part of the of course signed in qatar on saturday. Turkeys president says borders will remain open for Syrian Refugees and migrants fighting thousands of refugees have crossed into europe to greece is its blocks thousands of migrants at its border crossings. Joe biden has secured an emphatic win in the South Carolina democratic primary with Bernie Sanders a distant 2nd tom steyer came 3rd but has since dropped out of the race but it is hoping the wind can boost his campaign ahead of the upcoming super tuesday primaries. Are turning out to a top story on the deal signed between the u. S. And the Afghan Taliban or doc is a National Security analyst he joins us now live from kabul good to talk to you again. He says it could be no commitment to free taliban prisoners as a precondition to talks even though that was part of the deal signed with the u. S. In doha how major a stumbling block might this be or is this sort of more of a bargaining chip for the Afghan Government. Well 1st of all we have until the march of tent and we have also known dad. Will be coming to call them to discuss a future steps with the Afghan Government now the reasons the president has us came out to the press conference and i stated that he would not be able to need these 5000 prisoners before the outland dialogue and job one dialogue because we cannot have preconditions this issue of just sticks its not possible to administrate given the speaking and because he has his own reservations the message that is passed on today is dad the Afghan Government which serves as a Strategic Partner and i lie of the United States of america. Representing the Islamic Republic of iran the stand out of not on december 8th when it comes to the u. S. And taliban agreement which was signed in the u. S. And taliban on disemployed each but u. S. And its Strategic Partner who looks like they are not on the same page we have had statements from bail secretary pompei was saying that they will be monitoring and evaluating every step of the taliban us photo since commitment to that agreement is concerned but who now monitors in evaluates the commitments of its african counterparts in terms of the Islamic Republic of understand we have how the joint statement yesterday where you had secretary esper and the secretary of the nato coming in and and kabul this issue was not raised the joint declaration the joint statement clearly said that the Afghan Government well phillys these 5000 prisoners before the interim Afghan Dialogue now the ball is back into ambassador khalilzad school as of how does he negotiates discusses this with the Afghan Government lets talk a little bit about the political divisions in kabul has there been any movement on that and how myatts that impacts these intra afghan talks assuming they do indeed go ahead. So well you did a mixed reaction the gender reaction is a cautious. Positive sort of optimism but you have had a statement coming in from c. E. O. Up the law which basically said that he welcomes the efforts of the United States you welcomes the agreement that was signed in the end doha yesterday and he welcomes the joint declaration the joint statement of the Afghan Government and its u. S. And nato ally but president today was very skeptical and perhaps this could be an indication of the deep down fragmentation and call but a lot of money its very clear that its a matter of sovereignty as well hes claiming to be the president of the Islamic Republic of 1. 00 son he believes that he has one devoid and just because the americans have agreed something with the taliban which does not have the consensus of the Afghan Government this is not how its going to do a lot of challenges instances of the Afghan Government is mandatory and certainly a lot of challenges ahead. To put it lightly thank you for that lets have a board that their National Security analyst thank you israel is preparing to hold its 3rd parliamentary election in a year on monday the vote will be the 1st since the announcement of the u. S. Is proposed middle east peace plan which has been rejected by palestinians need to prevent has more. Course ms apartment overlooks israel separation wall but he says this view could get worse the Israeli Housing Ministry has started the process to approve 9000 new houses they form part of a new illegal israeli settlement that would cut off the East Jerusalem neighborhoods north of the wall from those to its west. That would prevent the development of the most central metropolis in any future palestinian state just our shot of us all of us is our garden which i bought this apartment because there was some sort of an open air view and not a cramped neighborhood but if the open space is gone i will be forced to leave i also expect violent clashes if the settlement is built if approved the settlement would be built on this empty land in East Jerusalem it fell under Israeli Occupation in 1967 and used to be an airport until violence in the year 2000 that its closure. Now the areas isolated from its surrounding by the israeli separation wall but a new settlement could mean the demolition of nearby buildings including the one where we sam leaves the u. S. Mideast peace plan proposed by President Donald Trump in january so just this area would be a part of a future palestinian state passed in years rejected the plan saying it doesnt meet the minimum requirements for statehood and takes away an additional 30 percent of their lands under the plan illegal israeli settlements will stay in place in the weeks leading up to elections israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu has been announcing more units in israeli settlements in the occupied west Bank IncludingEast Jerusalem. Both netanyahu and his rival benny gantz have promised to annex israeli settlements scorner say israeli politicians are trying to appeal to voters who are shifting increasingly to their right the 2nd of the map was this competition between blue and white party headed by benny gantz and the likud party by netanyahu one side small while and against palestinians members of cant sparty are not providing an alternative to netanyahu but theyre trying to be more radical than him when it comes to the palestinians and the arabs. With the u. S. And israel having the closest relations ever palestinian Officials Say theyre pushing European Countries to recognize the palestinian state to proceed as feel lonely and alone in such a fight since everybody is there to please trump and everybody is there to please not and you know and obviously in the hype of these socalled normalization that arab countries are committing themselves to police the indians feel desperate for support palestinians say israeli plans on the ground including settlement expansions have been advancing for decades but what is wrong divil actions the main contenders rush to make new announcements that end up stripping palestinians of more lands and making their dream of statehood even more difficult is that. Your cue pied west bank. 400 muslims who fled violence and mayhem remain fearful of returning hot despite the government saying its ready to receive more than 7 100000 were going across to neighboring bangladesh and 2070 have a child has been.

To prolong cox is bizarre. This is al jazeera and these are the top stories the deal signed between the u. S. And the Afghan Taliban may have already hit and may just stumbling block afghanistans president ghani says the government did not commit to releasing 5000 taliban prisoners and it cannot be a precondition for talks with the group the prisoner swap was part of the accord signed in qatar on saturday. In kabul for us. He said you know deuce 5000 prisoners. Are not held by the americans theyre held by the afghans and the Afghan Government did not commit to that and its not going to happen before the interim afghan dogs it cannot be a precondition for that and then he went further to say well if the taliban want to be part of the government they should speak to the Afghan People and maybe the Afghan People should have a referendum to figure out whether they want that or not.
