least three people are dead and fourteen injured after a car bomb explodes in the somali capital mogadishu. rival groups battle for control of libya's capital with civilians caught in the crossfire. and. with all of the day boarders eighteen asian game is coming to acquire or be allowed to indonesia's capital jakarta later this hour. the u.s. is planning to cancel three hundred million dollars in military aid to pakistan accusing islamabad of failing to take action against armed groups that pakistan denies allegations that it has given fighters safe haven yes actually of state might pompei was travelling to islamabad to meet the newly elected prime minister iran call on wednesday. has this update from islamabad. the move by the u.n.
9:50 pm
report more destruction on pakistan it's not likely to go down rather specially because that is the new government in islamabad which had already said that they will have a more independent policy not dependent on the u.s. alone although the pakistanis would like to continue a good relationship with the united states it's good that it has to be based on mutual respect. have already rejected the drum dog trying on south asia and that their root of the problem the american secretary of state who will be really doing it. is likely to discuss the ongoing role of the pakistani that forbid of one it's done it's going to be broad case. and to give us army general taking over command nato forces in afghanistan general scott miller was sworn in to his new role in a handover ceremony in the cops of kabul faces criticism over its security strategy in the country as we sent attacks by the taliban have spiked the security and stability comes as people and politicians get ready for parliamentary elections
9:51 pm
next month world recognizes that afghanistan cannot be a safe haven for terrorism the world right now as we. know this is a bit long but it has been generation. ross. we have to. understand the region we're fighting you know we're here. to export more murder tax. revenue everybody's we're. going to go to really. good to have borders. be my distinct honor to work with the afghan government not young people. says a lot to talk about on both sides of the afghan pakistani border and for more on all of this we're joined by david said me he's a former u.s. deputy assistant secretary of defense for afghanistan and pakistan is with us from washington d.c.
9:52 pm
very good to have you with us so as well general scott mela these guys work cut out for him and he wasn't going to bring to the fight in afghanistan now he's going to bring first of all the great deal of experience in afghanistan he's been there are multiple times for several years both working in kabul and outside a couple in the provinces and in the districts the other skill he brings is he is the top u.s. special forces soldier serving right now in many ways he is coming from a command of the u.s. special. forces and he brings a real understanding of the kind of counterinsurgency warfare that is going on in afghanistan a bit and say when is it to see what needs to be changed because the u.s. strategy so fall in the policy has been to increase pressure on the taliban with as strikes and more u.s. troops to train the afghan army but a report by the pentagon in june said the little evidence of this was having any
9:53 pm
significant impact so shipping expect the strategy to change. no i don't think we should expect the strategy to change in fact i think we should see it accelerate the additional forces that were sent into afghanistan are only now beginning to have an effect but that report you mentioned was too soon to show any effect we won't see that effect actually until this month next month to see how the taleban do but the other post strand of the administration's policy was to push the code on towards peace talks and we have seen some progress in that area over the last several months as the columbine reciprocated in a ceasefire about two months ago and the taliban have held talks with the united states in doha so there are some signs of the columbine are thinking about peace talks but equally say the taliban has launched a large scale attack on gaza is this a that's normal in any kind of warfare especially insurgent were fair if you lead up to peace talks you go on if you go on in offensive so that's i would see that is
9:54 pm
jockeying for position to try and strengthen the taleban sort of role in any peace talks if you take place now we only have one. so far under now inspector in public actually in the way it's been leaked round of talks in doha but there are press reports that i could quote seriously the next few days the u.s. will announce a special envoy for afghanistan peace investors on the hollows of who has great experience in afghanistan and international diplomacy if that appointment take place takes place that would be a sign that the that peace talks are really in case something that we should very seriously ok let's go to pakistan was the u.s. right to cancel this three hundred million dollars of aid all say this turning to cancel this aids to the pakistani government. very much so a january of this year the u.s. administration cut off
9:55 pm
a lot of military funding for pakistan and said it would be looking for concrete steps that pakistan would take to decrease the chance freedom of movement in pakistan and particularly to rein in the activities of the accounting network unfortunately in the nine months since then there's been absolutely no sign that the pakistanis have done anything to rein in that taliban on its soil and in fact the attack on gaza you that you mention was headquartered out of pakistan the economy network played a big role in mobilizing those forces and so i think you really see almost a direct response columbine with pakistani acquiescence and support attack in gaza city and the u.s. is upping the pressure on pakistan militarily to this a restriction but if that means that relations with pakistan get so bad that it knew that the u.s. news is all pakistan's support when it comes to afghanistan kind of impact is that going to have well that's the that's a very big question will the u.s.
9:56 pm
pressure result in pakistan pulling back on will the u.s. pressure resulting in pakistan changing its course but in addition to the trip you mentioned earlier the secretary pompeo in the defense secretary mattis will be in delhi this week for very high level talks with their indian counterparts this growing closeness between india and the united states puts additional pressure on pakistan pakistan has some friends china and a few others but no one is as important pakistan as nice they can as the united states and india so i see a correlation of forces putting pressure on pakistan it's going to be a real challenge to the new government and the best way for the pick really government vehicle this pressure is to help push the taliban to these peace talks that has had me very interesting indeed to speak to that in washington d.c. thanks very much for joining us thank you. the armed group al-shabaab has claimed responsibility for a car bombing and somalia that targeted a local government headquarters in the capital mogadishu there are reports children
9:57 pm
