Taliban lay blame children lay on the relatives graves too young to understand the forces that turned a day of joy into one of tragedy. Kabul. But speak to show in washington d. C. Hes a former advisors need to see the civilian representatives in afghanistan. What do you make of President Trumps comments on afghanistan today. I believe its a right comment as well as right decision because as we know were speaking the situation in afghanistan is absolutely in secured that government has failed to provide security even inside of. Kabul city as well as you know it also shows that beyond taliban there is more fit that isis will die as who has claimed responsibility for this attack so it is important to have the u. S. Presence in afghanistan if there is a clause of condition in the agreement between the United States and taliban for full of a draw or so i think that would be more of a sudden around not any. Peace deal if the u. S. Forces are set to leave the country how do you go about improving security in afghanistan. I think we are fully dependent on afghanistan in terms of finance as well as in terms of training as well as even air support for the u. S. And nato troops and of course there are more than 22 terrorist organization operating across the border between afghanistan and pakistan who are clear not only for that region but globally as well so i think if the u. S. Troops would draw from of hundreds son not only financially that aid will reduce or even Enter Afghanistan but also there will be huge vacuum in gap specifically in terms of fighting terrorism because that used to send afghanistan has 2 major tusk one is countering terrorism through special operations and unconventional troops and another is training advising and assisting the Afghan National Security Forces so anywhere drop it will create a massive gap that gap will be filled by terrorists by insurgents and that will trip back you know western society either europe u. S. Or regionally as well why is the Afghan Government the neighborhood suso it effectual when it comes to dealing with attacks like the one we saw over the weekend. Unfortunately the government is so corrupt the system in the government is such that people have impunity for example even for this major attack the kabul city itself was covered in time by the entire Security Sector in afghanistan because the president supports you have a speech and theyre supposed to be a celebration of 100. 00 and adversity or independence of afghanistan so during the tightest security situation this suicide bomb bomb made it to blew up you know civilians and this is not the 1st or last event or attack there has been so many attacks and its mainly because the government including the present himself is not an expert on security his National Security adviser is a cartoonist not expert his 2 ministers at the interior and defense are acting and the depicting ministers who support to be very technical an expert they have no knowledge and education or experience in the Security Sector so these are corruption impunity has ended. Resulted to the death of Afghan National Security Forces as well as afghan civilians and this impunity as we can see nobody has reacted to these security situations and nobody has even designed or accepted responsibility that theyre responsible to provide security for the afghan public and. Civilians and one final question sir on President Trump comments he said that a significant intelligence capability will be left behind in afghanistan when u. S. Forces leave what does he mean by that. I believe he thinks that you know he may have an option for the drug in terms of negotiation with the taliban but i think only intelligence can not do much if there is not a significant or at least an exact amount of the countering terrorism troops especially the army or special operations who can assist even taliban and Afghan Government in the future set up to fight with their joint any me who consider to be isis or dutch if taliban truly claim that you know they can support and assist the west in afghanistan will not be used against the United States again so i think they have to agree to have certain amount of u. S. Forces as well as intelligence in afghanistan could still do so many thanks for being with us. Washington this is the news hour from aljazeera still to come on the program a leaked government report predicts that brings it will be chaos the u. K. Leaves the e. U. In october without a deal. A new sudan we look at the challenges ahead for the next government following the Historic Deal signed between the military and opposition. And this American Championship winning form with the final. Just a. Military of the Opposition Coalition are expected to name members of the Sovereign Council in the coming hours the 2 sides signed a historic power sharing agreement on saturday following a military coup in april that i asked to president Omar Al Bashir bashir who is facing corruption charges will appear in court on monday of 07 morgan reports now from khartoum all the political challenges that lie ahead. Outside this little bakery in sudans capital hard to means theres more pressure on. The baker says flour isnt as hard as it was 9 months ago so people dont expect. Shortage but because of other reasons there is a shortage of usual mocksville was there is a shortage of fuel and we dont know why it has resulted in a shortage of bread produced we have had to cart of us back on bread we bagged and sell bread shortage in december sparked a protest that quickly became a nationwide call for the countrys long time president obama to be sure to step down he was deposed by the military in april after months of demonstrations the military and protest leaders have now agreed to form a Transitional Government. A final power sharing agreement was signed on saturday after months of talks paving way for whats many sudanese hope will be a new start. But the upcoming Transitional Government has 39 months to function asper the deal and many issues to tackle before elections are held at the end of its term. Here and with possible our 1st of all and that we have for the Transitional Government is accountability for all those who did wrong to the people of this country no one should be about accountability and there should be a free and fair to carry to deliver justice. To the international a geisha will stop all of that in a lot needs to be done the government needs to work on delivering health care and education economy is important because were suffering we cant get food or transport easily we want Better Services and those are just among the many issues facing people here the Transitional Government will have to deal with the various conflicts around the country and the armed groups waging them some of those groups who are also part of the Opposition Coalition have rejected the agreement it will need to work on sudans kremlin constitution as well and hold elections all in a government thats just hours between the military and civilian. The talks to form the Transitional Government werent always smooth and they broke down several times before the deal was reached we have the hope that some analysts say how the 2 sides work in their partnership will have an impact not just within the country. But in its relations with other countries. Most of them in. Sudan is on the u. S. List of states sponsoring terrorism and to lift it a lot of issues need to be resolved with regards to internal politics like the issues of war and peace in the country the main problem between the 2 sides who begin issues related to conflict and security with a deal to find many like seif will be looking to see what changes come there we sudan is now a nation waiting to see if its new government will be able to fulfill the demands of millions of its citizens morgan argues they are. Joining us now from washington William Lawrence hes a professor at George Washington universitys Elliott School of International Affairs professor good to have you with us once again this of course all still a work in progress but what are your thoughts so you want to mystic. Im not optimistic yet obviously sudans taken another important step forward today and the naming of the names that will serve in a sovereign consuls important i think a number of things have been overlooked including that 8 members of the council have to vote in favor of everything which effectively gives not only the civilians a sort of feed top power but also the military veto power over almost anything the civilians would want to do also a number of regions of sudan and a number of groups from those regions have not signed on to this agreement so its going to be up to the council in particular the military side of the council to negotiate side deals to bring them in and of course there are serious Economic Issues as your reporter was discussing along with political issues what about how messy and his record Protection Force is will they abide by this agreement. That remains to be seen obviously its his own status is is problematic given that he may have been involved in the mass christe of june which precipitated these agreements i think even more importantly he controls a lot of the gold chain trade and some of the agricultural and livestock production in certain parts of the country and his own status sort of within the corrupt sudan economy is going to be problematic Going Forward. And and and then of course the whole system that was built up around bashir has not been dismantled yet and theres no indications that the new judiciary will be empowered to dismantle it very quickly and of course that runs up against the whole issue of getting the economy going while trying to transform the structure of the economy so this is a very daunting set of the objectives that the new government will have to try to loot will it be enough to satisfy the demands of the general population in sudan what happens if i dont know months a year or so down the line people are not happy with the way things are going. Well that remains to be seen because theyve locked into place an unelected government for 30 or 39 months with no clear way to change the government or undo the government of things go wrong certainly this government was not brought to power by elections but by protests so the obvious solution on one side would be protests and on the other side its cracking down on protesters and so what happens within the Sovereign Council and within the various organs of government particularly the judiciary Going Forward or going to determine whether this even appears to be functioning in a way thats acceptable to the population in any transitional situation we have what economists call the j. Curve with the economy always gets worse before it gets better and what the manager of the coming up to try to do is keep that j. Curve as short as possible but i think that for the next year were not going to see much Forward Motion in the sudanese economy and International Systems is going to have to play a very large role there does the International Community have a responsibility to ensure that this process dollars move forward. I think so certainly on moral grounds if not on geo political grounds sudan is a critical country in a very important position in africa near a bunch of other conflict zones and the stability of sudan is very important to a lot of countries and so its going to be incumbent on the half dozen or dozen or so countries that are committed to stability in sudan to see that this is a success right now we dont have pledges we havent even seen much of the 3000000000 promised by saudi arabia the emirates and egypt to come in and those 3 countries were favoring the military side of the equation more than the democratic civilian side of the equation so fortunately or unfortunately this is going to fall on the United States on britain on the African Union and other players to keep the democratic part of the transition on track while they try to jumpstart the economy and stabilize the region dealing with i. D. P. s and refugees and all of those destabilizing factors as well so it was good to talk to you professor many thanks indeed William Lawrence there in washington. Protest organizers in hong kong say that more than 1700000 antigovernment demonstrators runnymede through the night they showed up despite heavy rain in one of the largest gathering since june many said they wanted to prove that peaceful but determined. Amid reports from hong kong. Its becoming the norm in hong kong for 11 weekend street screams of prodemocracy protesters on the streets hundreds of thousands filled Victoria Park and its surroundings will be kwok at her husband have taken part in most of the rally so far this time they brought their 2 Young Children all signed to basic ill go my student to learn up all what is happening in the home call and what we are fighting for i want them to experience this in person about it and just after the whites fight and what if. It is a historical moment and many others also said they came to denounce the Police Crackdown on protesters and put pressure on a government they feel is ignoring them with each week that passes angry increases and the divide for the government grows deeper and so from the initial demand of revoking the extradition hill now there are 5 demands that the protesters here say they wont back down from. Among the demands the book traffic reform and the withdrawal of criminal charges against gordon 700. 00 protesters who have been detained so far but for just to enjoy there is one demand that takes priority i think is the Police Brutality they have to have an investigation about other stuff. The people who live here they will not feel safe have no leader we just feel like we. Walk in the dark this is really frustrating and scared journey for us to meet i cannot speak for anyone to for me just feeling really lost authority said only granted permission for. In the park but despite the heavy rain they marched under st. And some took the grievances to deceit of Hong Kong Central government. Laser pointers have become a sign of the fines for some of them as traitors veterans of the street protests after 3 turbulent months among them ranger not his real name who says hes ready to fight if. I would miss you should start by use them. If they print were protesters we will take action because we are united and we dont want anyone to be detained we dont confront them if they dont harass us previous protests have seen clashes between activists and police but this weekends rally ended peacefully ranger and his friends melted away with the crowd it wont be long before theyre back on the streets of hong kong but up hamid. Business groups in the u. K. Admit that Many Companies are ill prepared for a no deal briggss a leaked government report warns of food fuel and medicine shortages but a british cabinet minister dismissed the report describing any disruptions as bumps in the road sunnier gago reports. It paints a grim picture a leaked report in a sunday newspaper breaking down what the u. K. Civil service says would likely happen in the event of a disorderly exit from the European Union and the havoc it could entailed the dossier known as operation Yellow Hammer offers an insight into the plans underway in the event of a no deal brecks it an enormous feats that would have to be achieved to avoid disaster it details a vision of a country in peace time forced to undergo Food Shortages jammed ports and a lack of fuel and essential drugs unavailable for patients also the ria parents of a hard boarder on the island of ireland with the Prime Minister vowing to deliver bracks it by october 31st with or without a deal the line from the top is that the report is merely scaremongering and that its now outdated as preparations have been ramped up i think some of the concerns about brics have been exaggerated its the case that there will be bumps in the road some element of disruption in the event of. The document that has appeared in the sunday times was an attempt in the past to work out what the very very worst situation would be so that we could take steps to mitigate that and we have taken steps not just to deal with some of the risks but also to make sure that our economy and our country a better place than ever to leave the European Union on top of the 31st.

U. Without the government has been putting extra money into Contingency Planning<\/a> not just a few weeks ago. Allocated next for 2000000000 pounds to this sort of thing so you cant really accuse them of sitting on their hands they are seriously gearing up for no deal i think the aim is to get people in the European Union<\/a> to take that possibility seriously despite the swagger the reality for johnson is that he faces a constitutional crisis more than 100 m. P. s have written to the Prime Minister<\/a> calling for an emergency recall of parliament to discuss the situation and Opposition Leader<\/a> Jeremy Corbyn<\/a> said he would look at putting forward a vote of no confidence in the beginning of september to bring down the johnson government and avoid a no deal brix it with less than 3 months to go the political wrangling continues beyond certainty has left the once stable british economy teetering on the edge of recession and its currency sharply devalued and little respite in order to contain that turmoil so youve got ya go. Were going to weather update next here and making a break for the coasts the migrants taking Desperate Measures<\/a> after 2 and a half weeks to rescue boats in the mediterranean. They didnt have much now theyre left with nothing some people are homeless after a slum and bangladeshs capital. Trying to claim a historic test victory those details along with the fallout from the 2nd ashes test coming up in school. Had plenty of scattered thunderstorms across the southeast of the United States<\/a> this line of cloud you can see working its way up the east coast and again we could see a few more of those thunderstorms and also for the weather working its way through the midwest but as we go through monday that line of cloud and rain tends to push up towards the northeast but ahead of that a warm day in new york with a high of 30 celsius still very nice out into San Francisco<\/a> 20 degrees 26 days on monday how much is a tad warm of the air as we head into tuesday 29 degrees celsius that will change across the northeast that rain caring way quite quickly 30 celsius in new york but what we have got is more rain across much of the gulf region and also into florida this not helping in some of those areas that have actually seen some flooding in the last couple of days then we had further south into the bay and we have seen some clouds here with some thunderstorms. Across into cuba but that wasnt the case 24 hours ago unfortunately the hanna the have on a celebrations actually have to be poor little suspended and this is why look at this some rather dangerous lightning and some pretty hefty storms as well for the next couple of days fairly unsettled we could see more of a scottish.

President s have paid for territory throughout the countrys history in 83. 00 Thomas Jefferson<\/a> bought huge tracts of land in louisiana from france the 15000000. 00 in 86700. 00 johnson paid 7200000. 00 for alaska from russia and in 1970 the danish west indies cost cost 25000000. 00 before being renamed the u. S. Virgin islands lets go live to washington and sirius john hendren can tell us more why on earth is the president of the u. S. Talking about buying greenland from denmark john why now. Adrian this idea has been widely panned here in the us as the musings of a not terribly serious president but there is a method to donald trump seeming madness there are vast reserves of Natural Resources<\/a> in greenland as there are throughout the arctic there is Oil Natural Gas<\/a> theres a shipping lane that would carry ships from europe to asia where a lot of trade is done but more importantly than that its also a strategic perch in the north atlantic from from a military perspective the u. S. Does operate its northernmost military base through air force base in greenland since 1951 and thats important for a number of reasons for satellite and surveillance reasons but most importantly it is a strategic early alert missile site the u. S. Can detect missiles coming over the pole from russia or china and apparently this whole idea came about and according to the wall street journal during a dinner with President Trump<\/a> and aids last spring where there was some talk of denmark having trouble paying its bills because it ends up funding 591000000. 00 to oversee greenland trump suggested half seriously according to the article maybe we buy it asked his his colleagues there what they should think about that but the white house economic adviser larry kudlow confirmed on the sunday talk shows here in the u. S. That in fact the president is interested greenlands premier says its not for sale copenhagen the premier there Mehta Fredrickson<\/a> said she hopes that this is not meant terribly seriously but the u. S. Doesnt actually have to buy greenland in order to have better relationship there can kill soon the premier says its not for sale and cannot be sold but greenland is open for trade in cooperation with other countries including the United States<\/a> so to quote Humphrey Bogart<\/a> at the end of casa blanca in words that it sounds like donald trump might like this still could be the start of a beautiful friendship. As we were hearing a few moments ago there are precedents for this. Thats right harry truman tried to buy greenland 400000000. 00 back after world war 2 and then you got all those other president s you named like the Louisiana Purchase<\/a> this would be the kind of grand gesture that you can just imagine donald trump wanting to leave as part of his legacy the last president to do Something Like<\/a> this was Dwight Eisenhower<\/a> in 1959 when he added alaska as a state this would literally make america greater in size anyway and thats something that donald trump might just want to leave as a legacy which is there as john had reporting live from washington joe many thanks migrants have attempted to swim ashore from the open arms rescue ship anchored off the coast of italy formatted life jackets made a break for the coast before being chased down by crewmembers italy wont let the rescue ship dock and the captain has turned down an offer from spain because of what hes calling an emergency situation on board the ship is carrying 107 people rescued from the mediterranean many of them from africa meanwhile some more than 350 people are still stranded on a humanitarian rescue boat off the coast of malta the ocean viking vessel is operated by 2 aid groups including Doctors Without Borders<\/a> its been refused entry to ports in both italy and malta.

Stopped more than 300 migrants and refugees trying to reach the greek out of less boss turkey says the number of people risking their lives to cross the last boss is increasing nearly 700 people were rescued from the mediterranean last week in 2015 the e. U. And ankara signed an agreement aimed at stopping migrants using turkey to reach the e. U. A devastating fire has left thousands of people homeless in bangladeshs capital the blaze swept through a large slum and poor area and took several hours to put out a number of people were injured but the deaths were reported a child reports many people have lost everything. Now looks like a wasteland thousands of shanty homes went up in flames in a few hours several people were injured and nearly 3000. 00 families lost their homes like many others in the slums of dhaka mohammad free is a migrant from another part of bangladesh. Where displaced due to river erosion we dont own any land irans any government homes we very poor we live day to day if we get some help then we may rebuild in make a living authorities said they have made arrangements so that the slum dwellers left homeless by the fire can stay in schools in the neighborhood for now john are a big m says she has nowhere to go and not much to eat. Money to get there was a fire here and we had to flee with no time to take anything with us if anyone gives us them we can eat we just live in the street now its not clear how many people are homeless according to the government about 750 shanties were burned down and 450 damaged. One were a big loss to life savings modeler barrel i had 12 and everything was burned i barely escaped with what im wearing now i had some gold and around 3500. 00 in cash but i couldnt bring anything with me i just managed to lock my door Disaster Ministry<\/a> official said the government has provided 500. 00 tons of rice and more than 15000. 00 to help those affected but many are more concerned how they will rebuild their homes and their lives the unwanted money up with the monkey if our Prime Minister<\/a> has some empathy for us he can help us the poor maybe we can rebuild our home here. Over here again. Fires at factories slums and markets are common in bangladesh as there are few if any Safety Measures<\/a> Emergency Services<\/a> said there are about 43 fire incidents every day and more than 1000 people have died in fires this year alone most who live in slums are no wages and have very little choice as to where they can leave people here said they have lost everything and they feel devastated some of the people have been living in this slum for more than 20 years many are trying to salvage what they can uncertain about what their future will hold and where they will live next thundered through.
