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 to assure afghan he 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 saturday the agreement is meant to pave the way for the withdrawal of all american and nato troops from afghanistan and a long lasting peace how does the maid is in kabul for us hot how major an issue is this likely to be. I think its going to be a very big issue because weve heard yesterday from the taliban saying that they expecting that release of prisoners or rather than exchange of prisoners to happen sooner rather than later and then this morning quite early. Holding a press conference was saying well that deal is between the americans and the taliban and we have nothing to do with it and we did not commit release of prisoners he said that any kind of concession has to be done around the detail during negotiations with those interim afghan this negotiations happened to happen on to start on march 10th but theres still many days ahead and that development is the question about what kind of the allegation will be sent that to the Afghan Government did not form that delegation yet so yes it will be a stumbling but there are many other stumbling blocks as well what are i wonder whats the mood there just among ordinary afghans the day after this deal was signed well those i spoke to said that they were quite bewildered actually to see the taliban in such a setting many people did watch the signing ceremony unfolding in doha and its been repeated in a loop on the local televisions here i think they were surprised to see the taliban standing there being you know being welcomed by the International Community shaking hands with us senior officials. They sort of a bit hesitant in this says that Everyone Wants peace everyone dreams of these as one told me but everyone doesnt dare to believe that it will come sooner rather than later simply because they know to a country very well day know the deep problems that existed before lies that exist within all the political. Different parties in this country a sort of doubt that everyone would go to a log stand in the room and so people are hopeful but the extremely cautious as well thank you for that thats what ive done have read there live in kabul. Turkey has carried out attacks against the syrian army in the Northwestern Province of idlib targeting several government posts it comes as turkeys deadline passed for the russian backed syrian army to retreat from the region russia and turkey agreed to reduce tension on the ground on saturday weeks 34 turkish troops were killed in a bombardment in syrias last rebel held region well as hundreds of thousands of people try to escape the fighting turkeys president says borders will remain open for Syrian Refugees and migrants thousands have already attempted to cross into europe as they seek to start new lives i thin says it has blocked thousands of migrants at its border with the crossings the number is expected to get up to 30000 in the coming days theres going to aim isnt it bernie on turkeys border with greeces half of the turkish government says 75000 people are heading to where you are what are you seeing. Were not seeing quite those numbers cam what were seeing is families and groups of single people walking along this road behind me which leads to the checkpoint with greece were seeing groups of men congregated on the side of the road and families taking a rest it was a miserable night for them the International Organization for migration or i. O. M. Says 13000 refugees spent the night in the elements here in a the temperature dropped below freezing i spoke to an afghan man who says it was miserable he was freezing he spent the night in the woods he had no food to eat and hes feeling very disheartened this morning the Turkish Ministry of interior is saying that since turkey opened its borders on friday more than 47000 people have left the country via its northwest border with greece and Turkey Migrants are telling us they dispute those numbers given the sheer difficulty theyve had in crossing but they say that they plan at least some of them that weve spoken to they plan to try to return to the border area today in the hopes of being able to cross were expecting for a 3rd day bus loads packed with refugees to arrive from istanbul here at the border these are free bus rides that people are being given on city buses but again id be curious to see if were going to see the sheer numbers of people that have arrived in the previous 2 days let us know what its going to happen to these people because obviously as weve been saying turkey is letting these people through but greece is using tear gas and stopping them from crossing whats going to happen. There are a couple things at work here 1st off for those who decide to go the traditional route which is via an official checkpoint youre correct what happens is theyll pass over the turkey official turkey border and then end up in a whats called a no mans land between that border and the great border be sickly tracked the last few days theyve encountered heavy tear gas from Greek Police Greek police saying that refugees were throwing stones at them but also the greek government saying that it has thwarted attempts in the thousands of people attempting to cross but there are other ways to get to the border of greece alone its a 200 kilometer border with turkey smugglers are now working to help ferry people river the agency and by land but the picture has started to shift today some people are turning back i spoke to a nigerian man who says that turkey is using us were not getting any help for the International Community and all we want is to improve our lives he spent the night here he is headed back to istanbul and weve actually seen many taxi drivers or local taxi drivers negotiating with refugees to take them the 3 and a half hours back to istanbul one group of people paid 165. 00 for that ride back giving up on their attempt to leave the country at least for now i think that sometimes you could name them live from and then a thank you.
