The rebels are trying to gain control of the western coastal mountains the heart land of president bashar alassads alloite sect. Peaceful solution of syria answer civil war. James bays reports on the significance of the u. N. Special envoy. Reporter the u. N. Special envoy presenting his latest plan for syria. In the past they have tried International Conferences and face to face peace talks. After four and a half years of bloodshed now a much more modest proposal setting up a series of working groups. Even with the deeply and deepening traj,ening tragedy to get no stone unturned. Attuned to the serious discussions which are taking place and we are hearing them around the region and elsewhere which may require perhaps more time. Reporter he was referring to a number of important developments that the u. N. Believes could be positive. In essence, this is a holding plan, until they see how things play out. The u. N. Knows that president assads forces are losing ground on the battlefield and perhaps in a matter of months his government will be prepared to make more concessions. They also know that the recent policy shift by turkey which is now prepared to carry out air strikes to stop i. S. I. L. Could help the moderate opposition. The u. N. Seablg ban secretarygeneral told me that could help too. P5 members of the Security Council and European Union and all the actors there is nothing with which we cannot do and my message is that why dont you use this politically created great momentum. And there is clearly a very Important Role to be played by iran. Iran is crucially important player in the region. Reporter when he addressed the Security Council the secretarygeneral attacked their own divisions on syria. He said the conflict was a shameful symbol of the International Communitys failure. James bays, al jazeera at the u. N. Rasha las joins me from the u. N. Today. How are you . Hi. Iran strongly supports assad and the u. S. Has made it clear that the Nuclear Negotiations were focused on just Nuclear Activities from iran not on the americans detained in iran or the syrian crisis. So is this Wishful Thinking on his part . No. I dont think its Wishful Thinking at all. Let us remember wrssments iran, iran supports assad, sure, but iran wants hegemony, some sort of hegemony over syria and it can maintain all of this without assad by maintaining some semblance of a regime that is friendly to iran moving forward. So its not Wishful Thinking at all. Now u. N. Special envoy for syria announced he wants to retort the peace talks. But really, what peace talks . They never took off at all some parties refused to sit at the table with each other. Yes exactly. I mean the trouble with the syria war today is that there are so many conflicting interests and various parties that are involved. But right now the main parties iran russia, turkey and of course, saudi arabia and, of course syrian opposition, and the syrian people, those parties since the beginning of the war this is really the best time for them to come together. Assad has finally admitted publicly, some sort of defeat. He knows his forces are tired. He knows that iran and russia will not support him forever. You think thats make him more inclined to try find some sort of political solution . Yes. But it wont hes not going to come up with a political solution on his own. Hes going to need that push from his patrons iran and russia and i think right now is a good time for especially iran as it joins the International Community to sort of cash in on some political capital. And come out as a conciliatory party in the to resolve the crisis in syria. On the other hand, how much can peace talks accomplish if groups like i. S. I. L. And el nusra who has become large players in the war there will likely never be included in those talks . You know i think i. S. I. L. Will be irrelevant as soon as theres some solution to the syria crisis, if assad is removed from power i. S. I. L. Will become more and more irrelevant, as people on the ground stop supporting it. I. S. I. L. Gets its power from the existence of the assad regime. So tackling that will neutralize i. S. I. L. Other big news about syria this week was this establishment of a safe zone. In the north first it was announced that the u. S. And turkey would those are this zone there. Now it is not even clear that the u. S. Has agreed to it. So is there confusion about what the parties want to do . Well, i think the confusion is over, you know, turkeys real motivatemotive here with the safe zone, u. S. Does not want turkey to be focused on the kurds or focusing its rath from preventing the kurds from facing any sort of unity on the border. Turkey seems to be as obsessed with the kurds as with i. S. I. L. At this point. This is a point of contention between turkey and the u. S. But it will be resolved. There is you know a safety zone really important right now. Because turkey is suffering from so much pressure from the displaced syrian population that would be so much easier for syrians and turks and everyone involved to keep syrians in a safe zone. Its good to have you with us. Turkey is stepping up its be assault, turkish villages controlled by the pkk. Germanys Foreign Ministry says that the pkk may be planning an attack on Public Transportation in turkey. The warning was posted on the Foreign Ministrys website.

In response the government has dissented this saying in 2014 it officially recognized i. S. I. L. As a terrorist group and the deputy Prime Minister and the priements both saying that whatever the terrorist groups are in the country we condemn all of them. But at the same time, a couple of Opposition Groups have said that the government is being too soft on the pkk also a target of air strikes from turkish government in recent days. It says the government has given too much away to the pkk and allowed them to gather in strength. So a division from turkeys Opposition Group also with the pkk the kurdistan workers party.

Nearly 14 years later after a cost of over 1 trillion and the lives of over 21,000 21,000 afghans some are 1900 troops remain on the ground as does the taliban threat.

Al jazeera. Joining us from washington d. C. Is matt zeller, a fellow at the truman project. Mulla omar has been reported dead a number of times. This time, more credible . Hes probably been dead for a while now. Reports are as you said more than two years ago he died in a hospital in karachi pakistan. Why would it have taken this long for it to come out in a more credible way . Doesnt that raise questions about the pakistanis in pakistanis not sharing that information . It does. I think what youre seeing here is a covert way of the pakistani government signaling to us and the afghans that now pakistan will be serious about some sort of negotiated settlement at the negotiating table. The beginning of a preference to set up for taliban to make a tiny pivot in strategy or strategic goals where suddenly, instead of setting up for the Islamic Emirate thats going to leave an afghan state for the very First Time Since ever against a taliban insurgency that is still very much fighting insiding afs. What is your opinion about the u. S. Withdrawal and what it will mean for the taliban . I think if we pull out all of our forces and stop sending the aid and assistance that the Afghan Military has begun to depend upon, to fight the taliban, one of the things will happen either the afghans will stand on their own two feet, or a projected fight maybe initially on where youll see some actual real heroics on behalf of afghans trying to fight and defend their home land in a last gasp, but the afghans depend on us for their gasoline, for their Logistic Support and not only bullets and beans but frankly trained soldiers. They cannot sustain the level of losses that theyre currently having and if that goes forward youre going to see the collapse of the Afghan Military. Going back to mulla omar, the taliban had acted as if he was still around. They were issuing statements in his name. A u. S. Official said omars death could lead to hard line faction he of the taliban becoming more independent and aligning with i. S. I. L. He said that would be a nightmare scenario. Do you agree . Because we do have we have had reports of taliban fighters joining i. S. I. L. Already. I dont disagree. You see low levels of the taliban split split off and call themselves i. S. I. L. With maybe an emissary or two into iraq. The taliban have said, strictly told daesh state out of afghanistan. They are the ones governing afghanistan or having a say in its governance going forward. How will this compromise the passions negotiations between the taliban and the Afghan Government or have these talks happened because omar is dead . The taliban quite assuredly have decided peace talks should go ahead. Since they left afghanistan what youre going to see is the peace talks going forward. The dread pirates robbers of the taliban. It never mattered if there was a mulla omar alive so long as there is an idea of the mulla omar the taliban are the ones that are going to determine the time and place of mulla omars death. The taliban whether and if they feel its appropriate time for their strategic interest to announce it thats when its going to happen. Matt del zeller, thanks. A star studded video.

Reporter stop military brass took a turn on capitol hill defending the deal on iran adding their voices and credentials to the White House Team pitching the plan. Its a good deal because it prevents iran there getting a Nuclear Weapon in a comprehensive and verifiable way. Reporter defense secretary ash carter and joint chiefs of staff chairman Martin Dempsey agreed all options if iran walks away from the deal. Ive said from the start that relieving the risk of a Nuclear Conflict with iran diplomatically is superior than doing it militarily. But i will sustain the military options in case that becomes centers. But congressional members believe that is not enough. It is the u. S. Military to do what is necessary if all else fails. And yet this agreement would enable iran to construct the kind of advance military arsenal that could make our military option far costlier to employ. Reporter democrats are weighing their options its their support the white house needs from congress to derail the deal. Do you believe that if we walk away from this deal iran has a Nuclear Weapon by curricula . They could certainly generate the materials within months. They dissent gop claims that there are dangerous details in socalled secret side deals between iran and the International AtomicEnergy Agency or iaea. Its a confidential agreement its being pos churd as this great sort of side. It is a confidential agreement which is the standard procedure of the iaea. We have lived with the iaea senator, we have relied on the iaea for years. We win. Republican senators running for president just the hearing to stay an aggressive stance against the obama administration. Youre refusing to answer the question. Secretary carter is it correct that iran is the leading state sponsor of terrorism in the world . I was asked before and i believe that is true yes. Those are not the people that the white house hopes to win over in the next few months, its democrats and swefnts constituents that the white house would like to win over in the long august recess. Libby casey, al jazeera. Agreement currently on the table is the best way to ensure iran doesnt build a bleep bomb. And it gives the International Community unprecedented access to verify that iran is keeping up its end of the bargain. A strong deal built on International Diplomacy is the best way forward. And the alternative to that is war. War with vaughn a really bad idea. The worst idea ever. Look we all love our children and the iranians love their children and bleep . Weve got a deal on the table that keeps us all safe. Do me a favor okay . Dont let some hotheaded member of congress screw it up. Because its not actually all that funny. The prodeal campaign is being organized by global zero, an Advocacy Organization which aims to eliminate all Nuclear Weapons worldwide. The u. S. Government has authorized selling 600 patriot missiles to saudi arabia and missiles to the united arab emirates. These weapons deals are worth billions of dollars. Nuclear deal from iran so pose a Regional Security risk. Joining us from washington d. C. Is former ambassador, nicholas burns, former lead negotiate on Irans Nuclear program. Always good to see you ambassador. Good evening antonio. You testified at the congressional hearing and you said you are in favor of the agreement because there are greater risks in not having it in place but you were also very clear that the Administration Needs to take a tough line on inspections and enforcement if there are any violations. Thats right. I think this is a good deal for the United States because it essentially freezes Irans Nuclear program for next ten to 15 years. Iran has been accelerating forward since ahmadinejad took over. Our other message is there are some down sides, there are some risks. After the expiration of this deal ten to 15 years from now iran will have a theoretical right to reconstitute that program. Weve got to be ready for that. Its aggressive actions in syria iraq lebanon, if you will, what i was argue for today was go ahead in the nuclear deal but push the iranians back, with our arab partners and with israel and our arab partners in the rest of the middle east. I think thats a sensible strategy for the United States. I was struck by the fact youre pessimistic that the deal so lead to more normal relation west iran. In fact you pretty much argue it wouldnt be good to have closer relations with iran right now. I think its a positive that secretary kerry now has a relationship with Mohammed Javad zarif, that he can call him we didnt have that type of relationship with iran for 35 years but iran is the major problem in the middle east, its big push for power in the heart of the sunni world has destabilized many countries in the middle east. I dont trust iran, as long as the people calling the shots are people like kassi administration sulemani, or ayatollah khamenei. Leading the policy on iran ten years ago you put together the p5 plus one but you couldnt get iran to the negotiating table in 2006 and 2007. Is it the ahmadinejad government being replaced by rouhani the placement of sanctions or both . I think certainly both. The change to rouhani different person made a difference. But most importantly sanctions became global in iran, you had nearly every major country in the world participating in a sanctions action. It convinced them they had to go to negotiations and try the win some kind of agreement there and again i think this agreement when you stop their program you stop their Forward Movement and you freeze them for 10 to 15 years, that to me is an an unambiguous agreement. Clear site to make sure iran is actually abiding by this agreement. You know iran and the question of course is how big a concern is it that iran will cheat . North korea did. Are you confident that a more elaborate agreement than what existed with north korea and Better Technology from iaea can prevent cheating cheating . I dont know that we can prevent cheating. Iran has lied about its Nuclear Facilities until other people revealed them so i think we have to assume that iran will try cut corners. It will not tell the truth about everything its doing so the iaea has to be bolstered. I called today at the Senate ForeignRelations Committee where i testified to provide more funds to the iaea to hire more inspectors, we are going to have to have 247 inspections in that country for next 25 years so the iaea will have to be bolstered to do that job. Anyone who is interested in this i urge them to read your testimony. Ambassador burns great to have you with us. Thanks.
