launched by the chinese government. state propaganda can seem so harmless at hong kong's border china's communist rulers have wrestled up a fairy tale 600 illuminated drones hover in the night sky i love hong kong and i love china is their message but propaganda can have another aspect the evening news also has a message protesters are plunging hong kong into chaos. she's the only indian who should take to the demonstrators are like brett droppings they have angered the people and the powerful in heaven here in the u.s. . china's state media feed the viewers an endless stream of the same images of violence there's no coverage of peaceful mass protest demonstrators are equated with terrorists under the control of foreign powers no coincidence then that the stars and stripes flutters into the shot. starters are very young it's very sad

that they are being led astray i meant that the most out. of every good tale needs a hero that rolls are reserved for food. a journalist for chinese state media who is seized and beaten by anti beijing protesters at hong kong airport whose fate went viral on state controlled social media presented as an assault on all of china's 1400000000 citizens. while the demonstrators say they are defending human rights but they deny journalists their right to enter the airport i give that journalist a big thumbs up for the courage he showed footage of. that propaganda is especially effective when it stirs up deeper feelings this side of demonstrators throwing the chinese flag into hong kong harbor triggered outrage on social media and in response an outpouring of patriotic fervor from chinese citizens branding

hong kong's pro-democracy movement as an attack on their national pride will soon trollish a city it is a great honor for me to be one of the 1400000 defenders of our flag and i will do my best to ensure it is always respected but as you well know it's injured teacher in china isn't only flying drones at the border close by and the paramilitary people's armed police has been holding drills this week more profit ganda that doesn't seem as harmless as i love hong kong. and you can find ongoing of the hong kong protests on our website. in afghanistan a day set aside for celebration has turned to outrage and grief today marks 100 years of independence for the country but not many are in the mood to celebrate

3:37 pm
state from of gonna stand along with us forces what johnson of success to the have if u.s. troops pull out as part of. the point of can really call this a peace the a because as of now it is maybe getting closer towards a framework agreement between the americans and that means all international troops because nato is in there as well and the taliban not at the negotiating table as of now has been the afghan side which means for present a tip of afghan of the afghan government in an official capacity and tiste it can only be done by afghans amongst themselves so in terms of violence that we see that we've pretty much to pretty much depend on this framework agreement whether or not a ceasefire can be incorporated yes or no if the withdrawal of american and nato forces will be condition based and what kind of conditions will there be that it's all a crystal ball reading as of now we simply don't know right another unknown essentially
3:38 pm
is what happened to the various parties involved with the conflict but before we come to that i mean the discussions about happening in doha between the us and the taliban whom do these discussions really serve to this of the of gone people or do this of the us government when mainly at the moment they say if the us government and the taliban because those negotiating sites that sit that talk and we are getting closer to the 9th round of talks in doha and in one of these 9 rounds afghan government representatives were there and were given a voice. that was a little bit of an icebreaker facilitated by germany you know 16 people from civil society and government in a private capacity sort of rocked up in doha and they had meetings with the taliban so that was a start but nothing official yet so as of now the main interest of the united states obviously is to pull out troops and to stop afghanistan being
3:39 pm
used as a safe haven for terrorists for future attacks and all the taliban obviously want to return to power want to be part of government whether or not there can be a power sharing agreement whether or not afghanistan is on the road to democracy or returning to being an islamic emirate that's going to be discussed later not now a number of our norms and perhaps that is the reason why one of the population you know gonna start it's young people have a lot of anxiety about their future and watch this report and continue talking after the. pop concert delighted fans clamor to take pictures it looks like any pop concert almost anywhere in the world but this is afghanistan. much in the country has truly changed since taliban rule ended cafes and restaurants have sprung up and young

people live in a way that would have been unthinkable under fundamentalist rule. when i was talking to my mom about the situation of the 30 years ago and when taliban were here it was horrible like all these stories are horrible and i am not i am not very young i read and afraid for whom english is thanks to the american school she attends sadly who. opened a movie rental store recently and it's doing well his films range from hollywood action to romantic drama the taliban would never have allowed it. if the taliban were to rule. again my store wouldn't be here. they would simply shut it down. flowers music and intertainment in general would see the same fate this kind of amusement doesn't fit taliban dogma. outside kabul in the countryside much less has changed in the past 18 years hardly any education high unemployment and

bitter poverty a brickmaker here earns less than a year 0 a day young people are lucky if they find work at all what will happen when taliban fighters want to return to a normal life and start demanding work and an income. there is nothing in this entire region except this brick works. and i mean what will happen if more and more people want to work here which is. only a few young people have actually experienced the taliban's rule themselves but they have lived through the group's attacks sue russia lost his father just one week ago in such an attack. anything just not the taliban they will keep killing they are murderers that's all i have to say. to go for from other people forgiveness and reconciliation are difficult to imagine here even for the young
