a former u.s. senior defense official in iraq he says intelligence agencies around the world will be analyzing the video very closely. i've been asked many times already today since the emergence of this video do i think it is authentic certainly not only international intelligence agencies and our own intelligence capability here in the united states are looking at this very very closely clearly there is a lot to be said that this is an authentic video. in the likeness since july of two thousand and fourteen in the mosque in mosul where he took the pulpit if you will and proclaimed his self-appointed caliphate at that time i would highlight that in dieties case in this video assuming it is authentic he's obviously sedentary must have gained at least forty to fifty pounds which means he

of the injuries sustained in either prior attacks air strikes or others he has not done heck of a lot since that and certainly over the past several years it's clearly directly tied to recruiting but also not only the recruiting of future islamic state members but more specifically on financing let's be honest it needs requires a hell of a lot of money to sustain this effort but the bottom line up front is. he's a loser he lost his final stand of the of the territory in the self-proclaimed caliphate there and. to afghanistan now where it's day two of a rare meeting in the capital kabul to discuss the war and u.s. efforts for peace deal with the taliban by the neuer. seems unknown have been boycotted by the group and some senior politicians shallot bennett joins us now

from a different province in afghanistan different religions they mean to truly represents the afghan population there is some criticism that that is not one hundred percent true because the taliban is not in support of this loya jirgah what so with and forty six percent of the country as either contested or even controlled by the taliban so people from those areas cannot attain to this safely they would face real repercussions from the taliban if they did so or the work around as we understand it is that the government has pulled people in originally from those areas who may now live in kabul to represent the home districts with their own not they do truly represent those places if they live ten or fifteen years ago that is up for debate thank you for that charlotte bellis life force in kabul. still ahead on. three hundred.
