a man who was caught up in the attack here on that roundabout on thursday while his niece survived the hardest hit areas such as city looking twenty fifteen and about to crash face. was painfully familiar you knew immediately what what was going on i mean i lived this life my daughter lived next to the buffet in paris so my niece was just here for me it's not like for most people here a sudden unexpected. event for me this is the life i live. i've been working in the immigrant communities and i've been working on jihadi networks all across europe and i thought immediately that it's most likely a moroccan network was interesting because isis had always use spain as this
8:07 pm
principal. jumping off point for getting recruits into turkey and syria and the question for me is while isis was in control of the attacks were fairly localized but now i ask myself if these networks are starting to pick up on on their own and whether they'll become just more widespread in the arctic or cross europe. yes the fruit seller across from the bar in mumbai in brussels what's going on he knew a hell of a lot more that was going on than the police but no one seems to be engaged in understanding what is going on in these networks security cameras captured them moment and then. passed the shop on less from less than barcelona but best friends can be seen trying to get out of its path islamic state leader claimed responsibility for the atrocity and we spoke to former british home office

single conversation and communication across an entire continent that's remarkably difficult these are random attacks and they are difficult to ascertain and evaluate and assess. the american presidents achieve a strategist steve benen has a left the white house even before donald trump to go off has been and was seen as a key figure in his team however he spent only a six months the president's top attempt to ssion a white house statement to explain to the decision for a bannon's departure as a neutral one you'll now return to being the executive chairman of a breitbart news one commentator we spoke to downstairs bannon's ags that will how trump in the long run. and it is the one guy in the white house that the deplorable like they know him they like him they admire him and the fact that he's been hated
8:10 pm
by the media and hated by all the lefties is just. icing on the cake for these people they will they like him they you know the fact that he's being in that band is being attacked raises him in there and there are. steam so the fact that trump fired him will hurt trump it's going to i think the white house polling is going to show him after this sinks in to everybody that it's hurt him with his own base it's not something he going to ford by the way does from a political standpoint bannon is the latest in a long list of departures from the trump and ministration following has access abandon said that he is ready to go to war for trump against its opponents on capitol hill as well as the media and corporate america however here is what he added later the trump presidency that we fought for in one is over we still have a huge movement and we will make something of the strong presidency but that presidency is over one analyst we spoke to believes every establishment us trying
8:11 pm
to push out those which fell into dollars trump is still determined to fight unregulated globalism to preserve the constitution of this country to reform the vast excesses in spending in our government spend six trillion dollars a year all governments inside the united states just on government six trillion dollars is an awful lot of money to be spending on government and he and he embedded others were trying to change that but they came up against i think some globalists. professor in the u.s. congress will have toward rand paint over a statue offer you can fire trying to military officer and are demanding that it be taken down the monument represents officer albert pike and is located judiciary square and washington scuffles broke out next to the issue when several men claiming to be on the list argued with protesters the issue racially divisive
8:12 pm
monuments as playing out across the country after the end rest and the safety of charlottesville a week ago a new york subway tiles times square station will now be altered due to their resemblance to the confederate flag these are not confederate flags it is a design based on jus metric forms that represent the crossroads of the world and to avoid absolutely any confusion we will modify them to make that absolutely crystal clear. and reports now from new york on their control over see which has brought america says stork also a curse to the forefront not long ago we were out here on the streets of new york asking people if they thought that every monument to a slave owner should be demolished even if their founding fathers. did they stop madison avenue. and rename it yeah i think it's fine so if one person
8:13 pm
is the football that will be by the city could be a good idea to take it to. anything that's owned by a slave owner should be changed yeah it should be washington didn't go to war to defend slavery and i think concerts is very important even though we didn't expect people to want to tear down monuments to figures that are almost sacred in american history like george washington or thomas jefferson the idea now seems to be gaining momentum he wasn't protecting my freedom i wasn't someone who my ancestors weren't deemed human beings to him and so to me i don't care if it's a george washington statue or a thomas jefferson statue or robert e. lee statue they all need to calm down and if those two aren't enough for you how about we try let's blow up mount rushmore that was actually the title of an article from vice media before they changed it to something a little less and say tional but the point was pretty much the same now it's certainly true that george washington and thomas jefferson own slaves mr president
8:14 pm
look i think the issue is that you and robert e. lee both owned slaves right there was about. that was wrong but if you want talk about owning slaves you should talk about thomas jefferson whoa. abraham lincoln certainly did not own slaves he was always an outspoken opponent of slavery which he ended up abolishing in the context of a civil war now you would think he wouldn't be a target for anger but the people who did this certainly think he is going to launch a full scale war against history you should probably expect that there's going to be collateral damage.
8:15 pm
from. this type of actions should have been taken then perhaps fifty years ago with the civil rights movement this is whole situation has been created by certain media outlets like for example c.n.n. that they have you know pushed down on the narrative on the fact that you know that drop is a racist or that everybody that support a truck is a racist or or even going further that every single white person is racism i'm completely against this. discontent as growing in afghanistan over u.s. military policy with send the country well that and other stories and just
8:16 pm
a minute. when i almost choked something seemed wrong but i. just don't all. get to shape out just to become educated and in gains from it equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president interim. or somehow want to be rich. but you'd like to be close this is what before three of them or can't be good.
8:17 pm
interested in the waters of my house. there should be. welcome back chris traded afghans are growing increasingly uneasy over the u.s. led military campaign in their country saying the civilian deaths and destruction are yielding fewer assaults in the fight against i sell. can you see the damage house they dropped the mother of all bombs in that area we didn't get any benefit from the u.s.
8:18 pm
they target civilian houses but they don't target are still militants they say their operation is to finish high school but in fact they don't most of the time they don't target their value what islamic state groups are active. when the u.s. and afghan commandos came here they first dropped the mother of all bombs in the area in the last six months they only captured a one kilometer area from islamic state militants we don't know what the problems were why they didn't advance if i had to have the coaches or the hundred armed i could clear this rally and all these in a matter of hours but they didn't do it meanwhile president trump has spent several hours today meeting with his military and foreign policy teams discussing their long awaited strategy updates for the war in afghanistan he took to twitter to announce that the sessions have been made but didn't specify the white house media
8:19 pm
really didn't give any details tonight and instead saying information would be released at an appropriate time our washington correspondent john king will get reports now. america's war in afghanistan has been ongoing for sixteen years and seen three different presidents come and go on my orders the united states military has begun strikes against al qaeda terrorist training camps and military installations of the taliban regime and afghanistan i know that many of you have grown weary of this conflict. as you are well aware i do not support the idea of endless war given what's at stake in afghanistan i am firmly convinced that we should make this extra effort. seventeen years or longer smores it's a very big decision for me i've took over a mess and we're going to. make it a lot less messy the results while even u.s. generals have a rather bleak outlook on the progress made or not to understand it's my
8:20 pm
responsibility we're not winning in afghanistan right now mr chairman i believe we're in a stalemate at this point u.s. casualties in afghanistan are approaching the same numbers as the victims of the nine eleven attack the tragedy that triggered the u.s. campaign the taliban still controls a significant part of the country and is making efforts to expand its influence investing in afghan forces at this point doesn't seem justifiable so far little has been achieved a new strategy settled on so what is team trump doing about it we know what the strategy was for the last eight years don't lose that hasn't worked when can we expect it congress united states to get a strategy for afghanistan that is a departure from the last eight years which is don't lose well on friday the president has national security team were moving over the options and according to some reports trump has option a and b. one boots on the ground preferred by military officials hoping
8:21 pm
a strategy to break this stalemate and is it going to require additional u.s. troops and do believe it will involve additional forces to ensure that we can. make the advise and assist mission more more effective or move out of afghanistan altogether and let private contractors help local afghan forces either way the u.s. defense secretary has indicated a decision is imminent we will move this toward a decision as i said i think it was yesterday publicly we are coming very close to a decision and to spend it in the very near future so for now we all just have to wait on the edge of our seats to see which way the american troops rollercoaster will roll this. up or down just look up party washington d.c. . because president. has head germany's foreign minister with some skinny think predecessor master as they cannot gabrielle accuse him of interfering in germany's upcoming election. he knows no

8:23 pm
this is no it's a. right now rob in the form of an intelligence officer told us that aragon school will have little impact in the election i don't think. the authority of the hope very much because they've made up their mind already. is my. group do stuff for fox news or. we could. change also amongst. citizens. so i think it may be over. the so-called election recruitment. would be some marginal in.
