welcome back this is all see you coming to line from these are the headlines. now live pictures for you from cairo where protesters gather for a third day year is over an american made film making a mockery of the prophet muhammad clashes until guns have been seen outside the u.s. embassy that egypt's health ministry still bond with people seventy people have been injured. rage against the film is spreading across the region with out of the

big you are some issues and time so other u.s. missions i should say on the topic russians have flared up in almost a dozen countries including given iran and overall well leave the arrest suspects in the killing of the american ambassador to the country. that last call has strongly condemns the death that time present britons have governments around the world should unite in the fight against really just insight into. what's next for you all see interviews also drove on dyke who spent forty five days in taliban captivity and he discloses all his sayings all the real reasons behind the u.n. military the u.s. military presence in afghanistan to us in just a few. eleven years ago america began its war on terror and today in afghanistan a u.s. war continues to be waged by current guest has a very unique perspective on what has happened in continues to take place there

joining me now to talk more about this topic is journalist and author jerry van dyke mr van dyke wrote a book called captive my time as a prisoner of the taliban thank you for joining our team thank you mr van dyck as i mentioned the war on terror began some eleven years ago and u.s. troops according to president barack obama are expected to fully withdraw by the end of twenty fourteen is that a sign of victory or defeat in the so-called war on terror i don't think it's a sign of either one i think it's a sign that the u.s. public is tired of this we initially went in for one specific reason and that was to dismantle the government of the taliban and to destroy al qaeda now people ask why are we still there how many are there under president bush in the early part of the obama administration we heard the numbers fifty there maybe fifty left in

afghanistan are we there because a fifty fifty al qaeda members know it is morphed into something far larger than that is it because the former soviet union the former what we'll call the stands it was because she could stand because if. you could stand to have the largest untapped oil and natural gas reserves in the world if you talk to the afghans you talk the taliban they'll say oh that's why the united states wants to stay here people say it's because we want to surround iran we have bases in the gulf we have bases once before in iraq we certainly have them in afghanistan do we want afghanistan and pakistan not to go to war with one another neither the bush administration. no the obama administration has been straight with the american public about that and finally we are responsible long with other nations for creating the very people against whom we are now fighting these were all allies of the united states and its allies during the one nine hundred eighty s.

we haven't been straight with the american public why what we have created which evolved in some cases into parts of which evolved into al qaeda and which are we trying to dismantle that can you tell me what the war on terror looks like through the eyes of the taliban. no one's ever asked me that very question very interesting question when i was a newspaper reporter enough ghana stand in the one nine hundred eighty s. new york times when we were tied with some of the members of the taliban today we called them the mujahideen which means holy warriors the taliban told me that we are the sons and the grandsons of the mujahideen when i was captured by the taliban and when i was in prison i had to listen for hours and hours and hours to taliban recruitment tapes and suicide recruitment tapes they talked of or they sing a chant of pashtoon history question geography pashtoon poetry this is a nationalist movement in their view they are simply trying to free themselves of

foreign infidel invaders exactly like their fathers and grandfathers in order to have what they feel is a proper islamic government the taliban have become somewhat different. and that is it's a result of their ties to al qaeda. which is comprised of foreigners primarily. egypt shin's saudis chechens specs those from western china and even some from europe so it is a different entity entirely it is strictly an interested in international jihad but the taliban have become because of their ties to al-qaeda and because of the twenty four seven news cycle they have become far more international but deep down in their hearts they are interested in one thing and that is an islamic government and a pashtoon islamic government now i don't want to make this too complicated for

viewers but for them the pashtoon are afghanistan and they were at war before we came up with what we call the northern alliance the tajiks these are different ethnic groups in the north so this is also an element here there's an ethnic war at play here as much as anything else but deep down more than anything else they want a unified pashtoon land they want an afghanistan that is deeply muslim their interest ultimately is certainly not to attack united states but because of their exposure to the international world now they're far more capable of trying to go across to soviet central asia to expand the perhaps into iran yeah that element is there you were how hostage forty five things by the taliban. what was that experience that's.

frightening. thing. what did you learn that you didn't know about. i thought initially i would be killed immediately but what i learned and what surprised me was that even though i was a prisoner. even though i lived in constant fear. that i was also treated with respect and i was treated as a guest. because and this gets to the heart of your question ultimately. tribal law pashtoon tribal law called question while the tribal codes take precedence over islam they deep down they are pashtoon they are members of tribes more than they are muslims and i think that's one reason why i survived. i'm

not sure why i survived. and why did they let you go after forty five things i still don't know the answer you don't i think it's i'm trying to find out i get many i hear i get many what do they say to you once they were unlocking the chains from your army said congratulations on escaping death i daresay this i will that about a year ago i got a call from someone a foreigner european and he asked me to go down to an apartment in new york two min there were questions from pakistan here by the invited by the state department on their way back to pakistan getting ready to catch a flight the very first question they asked me was. who kidnapped you. the taliban. or the government. my jailer said to me not a shot would be fired in afghanistan without the backing of the pakistani government so with the taliban in touch with the government did the. going to

pakistan know i was there did the government of pakistan in intervene and ultimately save me. did kill all of the in the county network. that we are at war with. and with which i lived in the one nine hundred eighty s. and his name i use constantly to try and save me and who i was trying to get to because i thought by getting to a colony i could find out about al qaeda did he ultimately hold on to that tribal law and say me i've heard so many different things that's why it's a very murky complicated place in the war is far far different from the way we are perceived in the media speaking of tribes what are u.s. intelligence capabilities among the tribes do you believe that washington has enough knowledge when it comes to the language and cultural experience of the particular reasons in afghanistan that need to be fully understood there was

a general flynn i think his name was and this was about two thousand and nine two thousand and ten who was in chief of intelligence under then military general stanley mcchrystal mcchrystal who said and i quote we are flying blind in afghanistan how many pashtun speakers are there when you when you find out in the u.s. intelligence community when you look when you talk to for example interpreters you find out that there is a huge underground network of interpreters all of whom have to pay bribes before they can work with with the american soldiers who controls these interpreters well i'm not sure that they're going to completely free at all the television can easily infiltrate this is my own experience i don't think that u.s. intelligence capabilities are nearly what they're portrayed to be however. when you get to someplace like pakistan i think it's possibly

a bit different we have drones overhead. constantly under president obama we've ratcheted up the number of drone attacks to those drones and i've been under drones how do they know where to attack you have to have the information on the ground what does that information come from it comes from working closely in tandem with pakistani military intelligence that they would choose to attack their attack there why after so many years where we had we not been able to kill the leader of the county network ormal omar or go beneath are the three leaders of the taliban or why did we have to go in and kill osama bin laden why didn't the pakistani intelligence tell us where these people were maybe they knew and maybe they don't know but i happen to think they absolutely know. but they have we have to have that intelligence on the ground and i think it's far better in pakistan then in afghanistan but it comes because pakistan works closely with these people and they work closely with the united states and who they want to attack they want to allow the united states to attack. i started this interview by asking about afghanistan

but i want to wrap it up by asking you about something you said that because you recently said that you believe that your lesson and its allies are fighting a proxy war against. own with them together but that is at all without a doubt that that could create even more dangerous times make clearly and in that area of the world if they still don't know what they're doing in afghanistan can't figure it out rightly right is pakistan our ally or is it our enemy now the taliban and you take someone like former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff admiral mike mullen who said that kani network is an arm of the pakistani i.s.i. pakistani military intelligence that we the united states have paid at least twelve billion dollars have given a different forms at least twelve billion dollars to the pakistani military since nine eleven but the pakistani military. former admiral mike mullen said every

everyone else is backing the taliban so we are supplying money to the very people that are providing this money to the taliban to attack u.s. forces why would pakistan back to tell about what is pakistan's interest in afghanistan no single afghan legislature in the history of afghanistan has accepted the border between afghanistan and pakistan afghanistan was the only nation in the world to vote against pakistan admittance to the united nations in one thousand nine hundred seventy one single thing the border in eight hundred ninety three the british when they ruled india created with this called the durand line they do not accept the fact that the land that once belonged to them that the british took away should belong to pakistan and this is deep down at the heart of this particular never ending war in the middle of which the united states and its soldiers continue to die. war that one started out of the against al-qaeda which is morphed into

something far deeper far more complicated there's an old afghan saying it's gonna stand it's very easy to enter but it's very hard to leave we're not leaving by two thousand and fourteen will still be there and we'll leave it right there jerry van dyke thank you very much for your time. well for british style it's a small town to be put right in front. of the. market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy cause a report on. the.

line. would be soon which brightened if you knew about some you from funds to pressure these. stunts on t.v. dot com. the headlines on all see on these are live pictures from cairo for you where protesters gather for a third day here is over an american made through making a mockery of the prophet muhammad clashes on chagas have been seen outside the u.s. embassy that egypt's health ministry has confronted seventy eight people have been a. break against the phone with spreading across the region with to us missions on the spot protests of flared up in almost a dozen countries including again then gone on to long leave their arrest suspects in the killing of the american ambassador to the country. strongly condemns the

death that time the president clinton says governments around the world should unite in the fight against her teachers and some. of the headlines for you a sports update is next fall. thank you very much you're welcome along to the horse headlines here is what's coming up chordate spain continue the defense of their davis cup tennis crown as they host the usa in the semifinals this weekend. splashing the cash out another pig name signing dutch defender gregory vanderveer will rise remarks saying the legal and proper time competing for the champions league. and remembering marco moto g.p. as a late take their bikes ahead of this weekend's san marino grand prix in memory of marcos in which ali who died was racing in malaysia last year. but starting with

tennis where the davis cup has reached the semifinal stage spain and argentina both looking to make the final for the second year in a row spain of the defending champions after beating argentina in the final twelve months ago will continue the defense of their title against team usa and keep all the americans have one more davis cup crowns than any other nation that's thirty two times but they haven't played the title since beating russia in the two thousand and seven final the hosts are of course without the injured or rafael nadal first stop on friday u.s. open semifinal started for their faces sound quickly before john is not takes on nicholas. was i mean final is going to be it's hard to say it's your biggest challenge yet when we've played so many great teams on the road but this is a team in spain it hasn't lost in many many years when they played at home so for us this is probably the biggest test in davis cup tell us going to for any country

to come to spain and to beat them on clay but we like our chances you know we all feel like we're the favorites but we feel like we have a chance. well the second seventy final this weekend sees last year's beaten finest argentina and the check. the host spearheaded by former u.s. open champion one martin del potro or the czechs will be relying heavily on the in-form thomas but it. is not football where french clubs paris as a man have continued their summer of big spending dutch international defender gregory van de valle has signed a four year deal with the parisians arriving for my exams that they twenty four year old stating the good side has the potential to rival european giants such as royal madrid and compete for the top european on as the club backed by qatari owners have spent heavily this summer bringing in the likes of latin abraham of it chante our very selves among others and the pressure is on coach carlo ancelotti to secure results domestically and in europe. we seek to have

a big school board today we have twenty eight players because we have to manage i mean it's the job of the coach to manage all competitions we have to be competitive and play on friday tuesday certainly wednesday before this which you must have a competition with in this quarter you must have players with the highest possible level of performance put in months. meanwhile the fourth international but yard football tournament has concluded in moscow with kazakhstan beating the hosts five nil in the final and the tournament which aims to promote sport among children is going from strength to strength as michael craft cenk uygur explains. in twenty eleven as many as twenty nations to part of now annual international backyard football tournament and this year's event was no less successful despite only fourteen teams taking part but the drop in the number of teams was more to do with organizers deciding to branch out the tournament into other areas of sport rather than just football but i tournament has become more multidimensional if we started was just difficult to amend back in two thousand and nine we now realize we have

a project under the premise of children of the world to sport where we want to include other aspects of interaction between the teams this year were included a chess tournament and a third a competition in which all teams were involved no doubt they'll be even more diversification in the coming years but football is still the main catalyst for the children teams from all over the c.i.s. countries including belarus and mulled over were battling it out while teams like israel and iran resolving matters on the pitch even if the adults of these countries still cannot seem to find common ground but it was kazakstan and host russia who eventually made it to the final home advantage had clearly helped the russian side reach the spot but it was has expand that stole the show putting five unanswered goals past the home side and taking the trophy the tournament also attracted a few prominent figures including to go coach in their new suits q i was invited to take part in the trophy presentation and i think it's a big thing because in the past backyard football was one of the main producers of footballers we see playing professionally and with this sternum it i hope we will see more such talents come through when asked about whether he had spotted any

future stars he was optimistically. it's of course tough to gauge because the kids are still young but on the whole the level of the tournament is growing every year and those kids i saw in the final left a very good impression. but of course this event is ultimately meant to to allow. from around the world to meet and mingle while playing the sport they love with their ultimate goal of continuing to push for a healthy lifestyle among the young so that more than the national bad woman has come to an end it seems to have been a rousing success. next year probably even now most of the kids behind me will eventually be engineers in the future and some of the miserables in the world did start off playing in backyards at times so who knows maybe some of the guys behind me there's a little following there for the. party. now to moto g.p. where the sports and late have paid tribute to marco simoncelli who died at last

year's malaysian grand prix the riders completed a special at the head of this weekend's san marino race former world champions valentino rossi and jorge lorenzo were among those who took to the rename to bizarro world circuit marco simoncelli to on of the italian the twenty four year old's life ended in a crash inside last season were going into this weekend's race lorenzo i was thirteen points clear on top of the riders standings ahead of spanish compadre dani pedrosa the stage also said to feature moto g.p. debut for northern ireland's johnny ray who has been called up by reps of honda as a replacement for the injured reigning champion casey starr you know. when i was in russia doing. we got the news of requests from on the ground i didn't have to think about it too long till we were on a plane to new testing the machine so i marched during the reps one hundred two minutes or so you forgive me this opportunity now negotiations over this season's n.h.l.

campaign appear to have hit the buffers one small with the prestigious north american league on the verge of a third lockout in its history on saturday the commissioner of the n.h.l. gary bettman will announce if the season will be cancelled our team takes a closer look now at how it may affect the world of hockey and its second biggest league the k h l. millions consider ice hockey the world's greatest game and the nation know how to lead the number one stage it's played on although this wonderful spectacles now on the threat of closure leave the year long sation happens it will be the third jump in though it's history and the team owners and the players association a currently tour over the new collective bargaining agreement essential how profits a share of the currency be expiring in september fifteenth in the meantime hockey lovers great pieces like this currently one of you tube's most popular fan made videos as the wait continues fans going to be on our side because back seven

years ago they got what they want so they got everything they want. you know making money or even making money raking money so everything was good and it's not a good enough now they want to start playing and going to recognize it i'm going to be on our site players love to play the game being up there to. make those rules and propose them to the owners they only defending negotiations are in full swing over most experts players and fans alike expect n.h.l. commissioner gary bettman do know the lookout this weekend then the european wide kontinental hockey league will become a major option for unemployed n.h.l. herbs kaito is making a progress story because getting back to read is getting better and better and. the comparative travel is higher and higher so i think playing that's

a good thing about playing on a high level it's obviously not a good thing i would advice everybody to play to get ready for the turn so nothing american lending for eight gauge shell has worked out special rules no more than three n.h.l. players can be signed by a team only one corner is allowed on two russian clubs last year. on top of that at least one of the four when wife. must be met the blair has to be a stanley cup winner while it's an n.h.l. words winner has played at least one hundred fifty games in the n.h.l. over the last three years. has represented his country at the previous two world and world junior championships or winter olympics and finally those who had played in the before are welcomed i think and the choice either the russians

or international players six north american boys will increase the level of the game here i certainly looking forward to that. as far as i prefer obviously i prefer russian when a child stars dies like. a common thing in a place to be on the numbers having an alarm and fans going to have a chance to see. their stars and a show look out with who it benefits the kids many on both sides of the atlantic everyone associated with the game is a waiting with bated the outcome of the talks but with there were the decision life on ice will go on either here or there as it will take something more than just money to hold the great game about running on our team. meanwhile the k h l has no such luck our problems are in full swing this season

spot house of metal no booking that's been their first home fixture of the season and it did not go to plan for the muscovites a brace from anton snapper chef and one from anton lazarre have secured the visitors a comfortable male when. that is all from the water sport for now with plenty more like to hear and i'll tell you the world weather is next. it's easy to. do. in the.
