doha with all your sport the u.s. women's football team the man 66000000 dollars in damages in the discrimination case trust me a male may see it's back up to barcelona boss to blame the players for problems at the club. 18 years of war in afghanistan could end in a little more than a week an agreement that calls for a 7 day reduction of violence is now in effect and after that the taliban says it will sign a peace deal with america the u.s. involvement in afghanistan began in 20011 month after the $911.00 attacks washington watched our strikes and a ground invasion to remove the taliban from power. or than 12000 american soldiers still in afghanistan thousands more from nato allies and partners countries are also there some 2400 american troops have been killed since the operation began and the u.s. is estimated to spent more than one trillion dollars during its mission. or when jordan joins us live from washington d.c. . a lot resting on this reduction of violence do we know how it will be judged to be a success. we still do not know lauren and that's really something that will put a lot of onus on whether or not we can actually get to this signing of a peace accord between the united states and the taliban on february 29th neither the u.s. nor the taliban want to say what the metrics are what the actual us standard is for saying that the violence has been stopped if stead of 10 attacks per day by the taliban is it just want to attack does that constitute cutting the violence if there are no offensive operations carried out by the us or if one offensive operation is carried out in those 7 days is that enough to scuttle the deal those questions of questions really do make you wonder if they were actually going to see the signing ceremony in doha qatar a week from saturday now of course the other big question is the role of the afghan military they're also supposed to put down their weapons for the time being what standard are they being held to him basically it does appear as if this gives some space to all 3 parties to basically saying the other side isn't holding up its end of the deal so we're not going to engage and sign this peace accord on february 29th it's an important question because it does go to the matter of how much are both sides actually trusting each other to try to get to the subsequent stages of bringing peace back to afghanistan and if you don't there's a head what timescale would there be for any potential u.s. troop reduction. well that's the other big question the u.s. president donald trump campaigned in 2016 that he wanted to pull u.s. forces out of the middle east and out of south central asia saying that the time for the u.s. as a country that wages war was long over and that u.s. forces needed to be back home with their families certainly that was something that did attract support for donald trump in 2016 and now that he's running for reelection it would make sense that he would want to show significant progress if not an outright completion of his promise to bring u.s. forces home now the question is from a security standpoint what realistically makes sense there are more than 12000 u.s. forces in afghanistan right now the pentagon has said as recently as last week that it's called for double if some 858600 u.s. forces remain in country one to help train the afghan military to to provide backup support for the afghan military and really to was safeguard u.s. security interests across south central asia and into the middle east but if the president who is known to try to take big sweeping moves wants to cut the number of u.s. forces to just a couple of 1000 or even a few 100 could that jeopardize the security situation in afghanistan and that is something that has really set off yet another political argument here in washington doesn't jordan thank you very much. i mean to have such so sit at the think tank chatham house he joins us via skype from cambridge thanks very much for being with us what's your assessment of this deal has significant a moment is it for relations between afghanistan and the u.s. . in my view this is a very significant moment certainly because it shows the tangible outcome to the dialogue that's been happening between the united states and the taliban at least formally for the last or 'd their area period so from that angle that it's a tangible goal that they're working towards it's certainly very significant but i think a lot of officers also say that for all the human cost of this war which is the afghans on the ground there will be a tremendous success if it's achieved where violence is reduced and people's lives are threatened on the streets so how likely do you think they were the reduction of violence is to hold this time around. i think it's very clear from my assessment of the united states obviously as we all learned and follow the news it is quite committed to this deal with the taliban at least in pursuit of it not least because president trump needs this as a foreign policy success story for his reelection the taliban recently as recent as yesterday their deputy head us published and in the new york times there and out there where he says they're tired of war there's clearly a fatigue all across various artists everyone wants the war to end but i think the trouble is that you know how's that going to be portrayed so if the taliban turn around and say that they have won that you have and they are beaten the was the last of the butler how does that then look on the american side where they would like to obviously say that this is a our policy success for them so there's a lot of uncertainty but in terms of something that they're working towards this is certainly very important moment and how could harry and as a group on the taliban these days to negotiate with. what the last trial of the cease fire bish showed a sense of unity it was true that there had. quite a bit of uniformity across the board but no violence being inflicted but if we kind of goo back to the ninety's even when the taliban were in power and this is our different alibi group they have had a generational shift in their fighters you know the taliban have never been comfortable in the spotlight they do not have that amount of experience so it is very interesting as we get to see more and more of the taliban to see all sort of recommendations that out there's a lot of speculation about their filing rank and various kinds of you know categorizations of they have got their office and their representation and pakistan those that have been based and the shower cities so all of this we have speculated about but i think once they come out into the political sphere and they're given that safe space to to be questioned and be put under scrutiny i think we would see more and more at this stage it looks like they have less fragmentation i would say than what we see on the afghan political elites side currently with the with the problem around the announcement of the presidential election outcome where both dr up to learn president of money and have claimed victory so certainly you can see that there's more 'd political fragmentation on this up but i think with that we can only really see it once they're out and they save space of their politics that they're hopefully be given any taking me thank you very much indeed for analysis polls have closed in iran's parliamentary elections the result is expected to change the face of the country's legislature as thousands of moderate and reformist candidates were barred from running so basic reports from tehran. he said it's a religious jew to vote and iran's supreme leader didn't lead by example casting the 1st ballot and 700 conservatives have much of their support base they followed through the round of voting well sure that. this is the 1st time i'm voting my reason to vote is to have a share in the future of my country and help it. voting doesn't solve any problems and conditions could deteriorate if we don't vote we should vote for the way it is so the new lawmakers can fix some problems. this 88 year old says he has been voting for 70 years as an adventure in trouble i have voted from the very 1st election in the islamic republic 81 parliamentarian tougher disqualified from standing of the reformist hopefuls also told they cannot standings elections it means conservatives could benefit from a lower turnout and lack of opposition and this will have also referred cautions for you when a foreign policy and i think this will bring more support from the parliament side for ukraine and regional policies but more importantly it will decrease the chances for the life the hood of any direct negotiations between the ron and the united states there are those who have stayed away upset at a lack of change and an economy reeling the u.s. sanctions are solomon right. i voted every year but i saw no effect to convince me to vote this time i finished my studies i have a bachelor's and finished ministry service but there's no job for me for what i see no reason to want. now for granted i know i'm not voting because previous lawmakers did nothing they had no effect on the country so it gets told it's not me alone many to vote. results are expected later in the week at this polling station where we have permission to film it's been relatively busy but there are others across the city that were fired but we weren't allowed to film a lower turnout will leave whoever wins this election. the task of rebuilding confidence and trust in the system as a al-jazeera run. a solution is a lecturer admitted modern middle east history at the university of st andrews he joins us via skype from edinburgh thanks for being with us what difference do you think it will make to have those candidates barred from this election well clearly the conservatives wanted a clean slate and there is talk of the former tehran mayor and conservative whoa wait mama barra ghalibaf aspiring to be the speaker of the new parliament he's a close ally of embroidery see the head of the judiciary and they're forming a power block. in order to all be reading pretty much if supreme leader ayatollah ali harmony's tenure comes to an end the foreseeable future so it is it is a sort of. grab on the on the remaining sort of the institutional positions that the conservatives the rather hard line conservatives do not have control over yet despite the fact that parliament is not a very powerful institution of state an islamic republic and doesn't have much say in in the major questions that now would you say the dispute with the u.s. or the nuclear deal and the the killing of customs or money has affected these elections. well that's only as has caused. the guardian council who are on the side of a hard line not to do when it came to excluding candidates but i think that the reformists have been on the. on the decline for of for for quite some time now they haven't been able to put forward a coherent platform with regards to the latest on rest between stable society we've seen a lot of. people on the margins of cities workers in the pen and trade union rise and their formis really haven't been able to to provide. an answer to this challenge and so they were seen in a way as being expendable by the guardian council i think that is also why the border no problem in reform is boycotted the election we saw former president carter i mean going and voting and everybody else went to vote and despite lambaste in the way the guardian council excluded and can't vote will effect beating in terms if it is it does become a more conservative parliament will it will effect in terms of iran's relations with the world well there will be uniformity now in decision making the previous parliament for example approved the f a t f bills against money laundering but these were of course blocked by higher bodies i think we will see more uniformity between these bodies but parliaments in iran still are quite fickle despite the fact that this one is going to be conservative dominated but by and large we are seeing a. sort of alignment behind the supreme leader i see on all these conservative figures who now clearly have the operand in this very restrictive political system so thank you very much indeed for unicef thank you but more still to come on the al-jazeera news hour including stranded in syria we meet the families displaced by war and in desperate need of

increasing frequency many you've escaped have reported murders rapes and the pillaging of villages 700000 people have fled their homes in 12 months in a quarter of those have left in just the past 3 weeks. david autor is a counterterrorism expert at global risk international he joins me here in the studio thanks very much to become instructors there why do you think the situation has deteriorated so badly and. i think booking the 1st 2 has now become the weakest link in the looked at google my region which you know comprises of the mali and that has been principally because of the influx of these that have taken advantage of the porosity of the borders since the collapse of the islamic state we have seen experience jihad the east you know coming towards mali and because of the influence of the french or british in a back a in but also the g 5 most of these jihadist fighters have moved towards booking fassel that they see on prepaid you know to convert them with govern species you know that's i mean how prepared is the government then when you look at us it was one of the g. 5 you mentioned that organization was brought to france recently to have a meeting with the french president about i suppose it's been part of trying to for him to say you do you actually want the french intervention in the area and they seem to say they did have prepared military and otherwise is to improve the situation i think it's not really as prepared as you think you know because you know you have to understand this isn't a symmetric warfare it's not a conventional warfare and i think what they need to do you know obviously i've seen the visit that you know president of nigeria you know with the president of the 1st so they had this similar situation in nigeria where you have these other kapadia northern part and from 2015 with the let in on. the middle of games i think they should actually have those lessons learned from african countries like nigeria that they are fighting because right now because of faster is really being run down by the jihad the east in this area and they have seemed to have no answer to that and the fringe is actually not really helping as they were should have been doing and is there any particular group that has mentioned you had this in general or is there a particular group that you think is the most dangerous is of course you know i says in west africa province. it's towards an area that has it's the ngs within that region so there is some kind of a concoction of jihad these organizations which has been made worse because you then have militias which are coming out you know linked to the militia the full in the end from i have a crisis within the region so i think there is a mix of jihad these organizations that have taken advantage of the porous areas that you know that they've been have in my region and i think looking a person really needs to do something to actually drive away these jihad these at the moment and what and then in the short and they're also going to huge problem with displaced people where the people going to do something to leave their villages and what's what's in store for them when they go on i think this is one of the key areas you know because what is happening is insecurity it leads to displacement and then these for that leads to for that insecurity because a lot of people good to areas where they already stretched and overstretched by you know these poor verty and inequalities so what is happening now is this is now creating communal violence between settlers and people that come in as refugees and displaced persons so i think the situation is really really bad you know and that is where the u.n. is really calling for a an intervention within that within the region of universal but i think it's quite important for the book in a faster government to get its act together but work alongside regional powers and regional states that are already facing the same problems as well in that region and get their act together specifically what they need to have a national counter to insurgency strategy you know which i think they don't have of the moment and and that is actually course in that you don't have a a comprehensive strategy to deal with the problem because you then have you know the distinct between the military leadership and the civilian component you need to win the hearts and minds of the local people these are the people that give intelligence to the military in order for them to carry out the operations right now there is no plan there is no strategy for that and that's where the military's losing the love grounds to the jihadist they don't have a 0 interest in church thank you very much and thank you very much. italy has ordered the

interfering in the upcoming 2020 u.s. presidential election to boost donald trump's chances according to u.s. media reports intelligence officials warned members of congress last week that russia was meddling in the vote russia has repeatedly denied the u.s. intelligence community's assessment that it interfered in the 2016 presidential election let's go now to practical hane in washington d.c. now to tell us more about all of this and where it all came from. well that we're hearing this from the new york times in the washington post and before i get to what we're hearing about russia the house briefing and president trump the washington post just put out snap wire basically saying that the candidate that they campaign for going to democratic senator bernie sanders for president has been told that the intelligence community believes the russians are trying to help him win the primary to that scientist to told the washington post quote i don't care frankly who putin wants to be president my message to putin is clear stay out of american elections and as president i will make sure that you do so that's the breaking news in the bernie sanders front as for this house briefing this happened last week and we believe the intelligence community basically gave a briefing to this house committee and said they believe that russia is interfering in the 2020 alexion to their preference to be president again is donald trump now donald trump really didn't like this story reno the whole question of whether the intelligence community's assessment that russia interfered in 2016 to help him win the election that rankles them every time it's brought up and this is doing the exact same he's responding with tweets and on the campaign trail let's listen i see these cronies these the do nothing democrats they said today that he wants to be sure that trump gets elected you we go. here we go did you see it. are people born i was told that was happening i was told a week ago they said you know they're trying to start a rumor it's just information that's the only thing they're good at is not good at anything else they get nothing done do not think democrats did just that. once you make sure i get elected. now there is a broader backdrop question to this just this week we saw the president make moves when he came to his director of national intelligence he got rid of joseph mcguire who had had a long time intelligence basically work experience he was there in an acting role so he and the president announced that he was leaving and richard gere now the ambassador to germany with no intelligence experience was going to be temporarily taking on the job now we can't directly say it was because the president was upset that this briefing happened because as an acting capacity he was going to mcguire was going to have to leave at the beginning of march anyway because they can only serve for so long in that job that said the president is announcing on twitter preaches this is caused a lot of controversy i mean this is a position where you're in charge of the 17 intelligence agencies making sure they coordinate made sure the president has the right intel to make sure they can avoid another 911. having no experience was controversial so the president's tweeted out that he is for good candidates for the job and he'll be announcing those in just the next few weeks. thank you very much indeed germany's interior minister says the far right poses the country's biggest security threat that comes up to 9 people were killed when a gunman opened

safety rules that it can be. popped my son said to me daddy i feel afraid if i go outside will someone try to hurt me. that sentiment is widely shared among han ours muslim community and across this country the flag is the view of the question that we are all asking especially the affected people of the muslim faith in our land is what has to happen next in order for something like this to happen many among the wider community also feel revulsion at the attacks carried out on wednesday the floral tributes here in the main market square a clear sign of the rejection of the violence of the far right. but there's no doubt this atrocity has shocked the political classes and forced the government to act. police say prisons we will increase the police presence across germany and we will increase the protection of sensitive institutions especially in mosques. meanwhile the investigation into the murder is concentrating on his social media postings and what was on his computers office is admit he contacted them several months ago as an attention seeker but no action was taken this is comments were not openly racist they are clear his motivation for wednesday's murders was from the far right separately the f.t. party has caused its own controversy by including a link to the murderous manifesto in a tweet while saying it deplored the shootings the far right party has itself now been condemned for its link to the site the current christian democrat leader says the f.t. is to blame for creating a basis for exactly the kind of thinking that led to the shootings but back in high now such thoughts pale in comparison with the suffering of the victims and their relatives many of whom had come to germany with the hope of a new life and instead found themselves targeted by a
