ignoring that you've been a longstanding critic of the war in afghanistan so what brought on this specific out there this one was about the the futility of the deaths in the last few days and the utter imbecile lying ministers who come before us and made it a yardstick excuses for continuing the war there's only one reason why the war is to win and that is to protect the reputations of politicians our soldiers of the as human shields for ministers reputations what they're trying to do is to keep a war going on to the best moment that will reflect on the reputation of politicians so we do the same position the end of us will war when it was said that this war is being prolonging by those that have the power to end it canada brought their troops home two years ago so the netherlands fringe new zealanders are coming out early

absolutely no reason why you shouldn't bring our troops home now the only reasons that we tied in with the politics of the united states we don't independent state we have to remind ourselves that we can take our own decisions and what we're going to see in the future is deepening trouble they'll be more slaughter because of this whole of this fictitious fictitious aims of the war was seen to collapse happening now there is no possibility that we can train the afghan people and army and police the poor will fight their own people will kill brother afghans for for a corrupt election election rigging the pravy president or to defend the interests of a foreign country it can't happen. you say that ministers are keeping soldiers in

afghanistan to protect their own reputation but how does the deaths of more soldiers protect anyone's reputation the official attitude is we must protect reputations against our previous mistakes and end the war so that history will judge the politicians made the right decisions in fact we've been making the wrong decisions for many years you maintain that what britain is doing is arming and training its future enemies and i suppose there's a historical precedent for that there is a very powerful precedent that the americans trained and armed the mujahideen and the mujahideen are the worst government the afghanis are hanged in one hundred years the taliban were a great reforming improvement to mujahideen but we've done this in the polls and we are going to do it again there is no way that a taliban army or police are going to risk their lives kill their brother

afghans in the service of a foreign country when we've gone or in the service of a corrupt president they going back to their tribal loyalties the backs. and the passions will be divided as they always have been divided and the likelihood is that there would be disorder were really we went through a civil war was going on the country was bitterly divided when we leave after we've left a few years the situation would be very similar they'll bill be more civil war and the likely future rulers will be the taliban what lessons then should have been learnt from both britain's own colonial past and the soviet union's experience in afghanistan in two thousand and one in strasberg a very a bubbly and member of the duma tapped me on the back and said you british i'm going into afghanistan and you captured it in a few days and saying that we run. did that and we were there for ten years we

killed a million afghans we spent billions of rubles and we lost sixteen thousand of our own soldiers and when we came out we left a puppet government there but there were three hundred thousand. in the hills who eventually took over and he even said to me it will happen to you and he's absolutely precisely right we deluded ourselves we told ourselves fairy stories about what was going to happen we could change things and we couldn't there was a benign cause that the russians were taking up in afghanistan of taking people into bodden life giving them a chance to improve materially i mean nothing really happened in the end in we went in decided we're going to get rid of the drugs trade we were ending corruption we were going to give women a better deal and nothing has changed as corruption is exactly the same possibly as

drugs trade today is is ninety percent of the drugs in britain come from afghanistan tony blair ninety percent twelve years later ninety percent of the drugs still come from afghanistan there is a different there is more of them now and they're cheaper on the streets so more people corrupted in two thousand and one the afghanistan was the second worst place in the world for a woman to live no it's the second worst place in the war for we're going to live with the objectivity of the war was a hopeless were utopian and we've we've wasted lives and make huge sums of money and we end up in two or three years' time with a situation just as bad as the one. before we invaded and let's talk a bit about the logistics and message that pulling out now would send what about the soldiers who are serving in afghanistan and they. those who have already served

and the families of the soldiers who died when pulling out now send a message that everything they've done has been essentially for nothing it's certainly a tragedy the those families must go through this trauma of realized that this was a war in which nothing has been achieved but sadly that they have to face that eventually what it would be immoral and cruel is to tell other people the same lies and the people more lives should be lost in order to comfort the bereaved or to comfort politicians that they made the right decisions at the moment is no conceivable reason why you shouldn't start telling the truth to people and say that there isn't this mythical threat. of terrorism in britain somehow ending by being by b. afghanistan if we say to the taliban why are you killing our soldiers when they say

when we've killed all your soldiers we're coming over to newport and to cardiff and we're going to blow up the streets no interest in that the reason the taliban is a killing british soldiers is because we are the foreigners with the in for little's with the foot of rain and we're occupying by force of arms their country it's this sacred religious judy to kill us if we're not there they don't kill us i mean to for the simple argument to understand so what you're saying is that pulling out of afghanistan right now wouldn't affect the security situation in the rest of the world nor not not in the slightest there's security threats they come from pakistan they come from the yemen they come from somalia they come from bradford we have a an attack by al qaeda that was from english people brought up in england is it not there better to have the us as friends rather. and enemies what kind of message

would leaving now send to america which at the moment is a supposedly a trusted friend and ally we have a claim that we are an independent country and we spend billions on an independent nuclear weapon we should be an independent as far as afghanistan is concerned we've already seen countries that we greatly respect and admire some with themselves pulling out of the conflict quite rightly on ridley they've given huge contributions in blood and treasure we should take our own decision we know that at least eighty percent of the population are same for goodness sake bring our boys home by christmas or at message received no troops what about trains drones that are an enormous. problem i believe in that they've altered the rules of war that for the first time ever there's an ability to kill with minute accuracy

enemies in other countries borders don't exist there are hideous problems in the future. a few days ago and eight at least eight innocent afghan army women in civilians were killed as collateral damage a slight error by a drone that's a problem in itself but the whole morality of warfare as the as drones are affected is an unwritten page nobody is worded there are no rules for this but we're in we're in this position no where we have the drones another the enemy's have the drones and it's a totally unequal battle and i believe that the world has to think very seriously about the morality of using drones in warfare and the problem is is that the policies we've been following for so long in afghanistan and iraq is the belief that you can win hearts and minds with bombs and bullets you can. aunt and the

battle of the dexter decades will be willing hearts and minds of making sure that we're building some trust in the world communities to be destroyed by part of it by the belligerence and foolishness of our own military operations how do we then turn that around is there a political solution we try to build trust in between ourselves we try to convince the muslim community of the world who who instantly believe any fiction about western society who want to persecute them we've seen the riots that have taken place because of a foolish piece of film the soldier but the most of the muslims around the world are prepared to believe that because they've seen that we have double standards we see them that we're not being fair in the israeli palestine situation and that we've got to be in and attack muslims in in iraq and afghanistan so of course they don't trust us imagine the riots that we're seeing because of this film about the

prophet mohammad obviously there's a large muslim population here at home do you fear that a section of it will be radicalized by what we're seeing throughout north africa in the middle east is i'm sure that the great danger the world faces is that the riots are irrational they're based on nothing really there but the the myth is believed because opinion among muslim communities has been primed to believe that the west is against them and i'm afraid we dangerous situation the tinderbox could go up at any time and in part it's mainly would have been ignited by the foolishness of our military adventures in the last twenty years paul fled thank you my pleasure.

down. like the fact that he showed so much heart and courage at every opportunity he was looking for a big punch and missed it always takes a lot of energy from you so i got him exhausted toe to toe and what is important i showed him i was even better a striking then took him to the ground which was also tough for me. when it comes to this way division every single punch can be to the side or. simply outclassed his opponent in striking reminding everybody of what he's known for fast and powerful hands and a surprisingly easy going attitude i was often on the edge in this fight you saw all those hefty punches swing over my head didn't you i even got the sniffles you see the feels like i'm going to start off in tomorrow. how well would wish that it take you through it was the least of his problems. will be giving him a chance to survive in the fight and make it to the final bell the outcome was

crystal clear before that there was a unanimous decision victory for it's on those who have built what gave him an extra edge in the having floater in my corner is great it helps a lot in all respects you want to know why i was so much better than constantine tonight that's because there were two of us fighting against him my elder brother was with me. i'm sure alexander can do much better sometimes he was a bit too cautious just taking chances sometimes vice versa he was too risky in the fight. so his performance was not flawless he can do great things in the ring and what is best lies ahead it's already the fourth consecutive win for the sundry million who continues he's come back to the enemy summit on the fifteenth of the member he will face one of the world's best wrestling specialists jeff monson true
