entered afghanistan with what's been achieved and what's been lost in america's longest war. wiki leaks founder julian assange you twist western journalism as he mocks the recent coverage of the so-called russia gate and the country's alleged interference with america plus. the press is the one that's keeping the world from chaos you break that statement from the white house press secretary to make the president's harsh rhetoric towards pyongyang and upcoming military drills with south korea. by their five pm you're a moscow my name's kevin irwin thanks for tuning to international live from h.q. for the update for this next thirty minutes you can stay with me first then as the standoff between madrid and barcelona deepens following last week's independence

referendum the latest protest in catalonia has been calling for dialogue with the spanish government. has the latest from barcelona. thank you this entire square in front of the cattle on leaders headquarters is cops with thousands of people dressed in white who are here to call for dialogue they don't want any harsh decisions and steps to be taken let's take a listen to what people have been saying here right now that it shouldn't look like the conservation it's just right here we cannot discount one of the we have to show you a war and say we don't want to support the show people control who would want to speak about our program starting already been the case comes from the spanish government that we want to do it. with the most pressing i mean that is one the result of tension in our society there are various opinions in catalonia many of us hell no

voice we don't want cruelty we want peace peaceful coexistence and with don't want any confrontation was in politicians' elision us a confrontation but we don't want it to tony's a peace loving civilized region we have almost coexistence in peace was going on right now is madness and it's no wonder that these people are calling for dialogue and no more confrontation because images of violence like these ones really some shock waves throughout the region here was was this comes as the latest that we know is that the time the regional parliament is trying to meet on tuesday along with the leader of the cause was to was to potentially want the process of them to come to us because this continues to be resisted by madrid

to try to get in the way of this by blocking the initial meeting that was supposed to take place on monday but we do know that the talks on the ship did say that. within forty eight hours of counting up all the votes of the of trouble first referendum they would go ahead with this process and it does seem that this is still the intention but this is yet another protest of many that have been taking place here throughout catalonia in the last week where we have seen people protest for independence we have seen people protesting against independence now these people are saying let's roll take a break and talk to each other which they think is crucial at this particular moment as sort of this deadline announced by the cats when they do ship is running out so he definitely wants to watch and these guys gathered here today was showing that he was he was actually. was actually i think they were happy that he wasn't necessarily coming out to vote i

mean he got a good night they said he was a yes they did try to try i mean time and trade is continuing to put pressure on the brake where region as it sees the whole process is illegal spain's foreign ministers warn the catalonia no risk becoming an outlaw state and then as seems like even the leader of the breakaway region softening his stance somewhat in the face of the trends opposition to. learn the mother daughter the day after the first of october we will start a new period taking into consideration the will of the castle and us cannot do not underestimate the strength of the people of catalonia. a woman a from the situation asks for mediation and mediation means that we need a third party and i get to me i will make a direct appeal to the european union. still on the pro dependance camp in catalonia is

a petition calling on authorities to stick with the succession plan ninety thousand have signed it so far meantime calls are coming from catalan officials for president charles really want to speed up the independence process but members of his own party are emphasizing that things must be handled the right way as they put it the struggle for independence unites us but we need to make things straight we have to try not to loose or expel anyone from the process which reads latest move was to pass a new law making it easier for companies to relocate away from catalonia several banks indeed as well as energy telecommunication and textile companies have already decided to move their h.q. is out of the region the recent business exodus was among the topics we discussed with several economists. i think it's the companies that are genuinely concerned about the break of the law and more importantly you know completely random the decision of which laws does the government to buy to and which ones they

don't because this is this poses a significant risk for investment security and for for many other issues. and you prepared to go new. is not dissin at audio the treaties to stop receiving the european union or the article money piece and then outside the european union and outside the utah and outside the call of. all the europe and central park. although the headline aside ninety percent of cuts loading and voted for independence of the cuts on a referendum this past sunday these results are quite screwed because the estimates that only forty two percent of the actual cuts learning and population turned up for the referendum and we know there was a lot of controversy as well. today

saturday marks sixteen years since the u.s. invasion of afghanistan in two thousand and one then president george w. bush accused the afghan government to shelter in the al qaeda leaders the mastermind of the nine eleven attacks that so the beginning of the so-called war on terror now america's longest running conflict ahead of the anniversary hundreds of people have been protesting in the afghan capital kabul against the continued presence of u.s. troops in the country demonstrators carried anti u.s. amount of nato signs saying afghanistan has been occupied by america all this comes as the united nations released new figures showing an increase. casualties over the last twelve months. he says any for me i was praying in my house and when i saw american helicopters i

told my wife and children to save themselves after that i just heard a loud noise and then my house was destroyed six people were wounded including women and children. they destroy our house and our family members wife the americans are killing our women and children every day in afghanistan and they just say sorry it was a mistake. was sitting in a room together and suddenly we had the massive bombardment of village and i was injured. on the explosion happened i was near to my uncle and cousins american soldiers opened fire and a bullet flew about my face i ran in here and came out on the hours later my uncle and cousins were dead so i went to the village to tell everyone. and fears of even greater civilian casualties are emerging too as the u.s.

military knows decided to relax its rules of engagement in afghanistan covering that we're going to go see america on. president announced a new strategy to the u.s. this sixteen year long war over a month ago which is just outlined by the pentagon chief earlier this week the old rules included. both rules of being under rules of engagement and operating principles included a requirement for proximity of the enemy to be engaged by our air forces so i've removed proximity and that in itself open to the enemy were ever they are found to the nato air support so u.s. forces will now be fully engaged in afghanistan giving authorization to launch direct off funds of measures against the taliban previously having only defensive permissions general mattis also announced that the u.s. now fancy place in military advisors in almost every afghan unit we have got to reorganize or our advisors because those units with nato and american

advisors when and those without them often do not win so we're going to spread the number of units with advisors but how much of a shift will this really be 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 commander in chief i have determined that it is in our vital national interest to send an additional thirty thousand u.s. troops to afghanistan starting next month we will be able to remove ten thousand of our troops from afghanistan by the end of this year is it going to require additional u.s. troops who believe it will involve additional forces so far it seems like every u.s. strategy in afghanistan has failed now the taliban still controls or contests forty percent of the country and it's unclear if these new policies will make any difference at all clearly they're not learning anything from the past but i would

argue that the system that we are using to. make foreign policy national security policy is not geared to learning from the past of course as everyone knows the united states was only able to achieve the goal that it set for itself which was to . basically put the taliban movement on the defensive and prevent for a big able to continue their advance now we're seeing it out of state sparely trying to do something along the same line with far fewer troops obviously on the face of it it's an absurd idea one cannot fathom how they could imagine that they could be successful in this. what's not since nationalism is coming from london we're in a cars reportedly mounted the pavement pedestrians near the natural history museum in london several people believed to be injured don't know but the severity of their injuries at the moment say it's only just come in police say the driver has been arrested is now in custody they said the more the moment because of because

this will bring you more as we get it so just one camp yeah. the pavement the natural history museum in london these pictures just through to us you can see police at the scene and ambulance there as a little bit of a little bit of a distance shot in very short amount of pictures there but we'll keep across it if we are any more we'll let you know. almost a year on from donald trump shock victory in the twenty sixteen u.s. election and russia is still making the headlines with just about any issue from the vote flagged up and traced back to moscow. russia's hacked into a lot of things the criminal clan that was bought by this russian troll farm on facebook was a black lives matter ad the ashtray taken and all sketched out what caught in a cell and pushing them out from the actual farms as much as they could there they are in the u.k.

and in france and in spain and in the middle east and in the united states and in all of these other disparate places with wiki leaks said it's a jew and his son has tweeted a modern western journalism as my girlfriend says since the other reports. here is all you need to know to become a top mainstream western journalist these days giuliana sun she has just put together the perfect guide for all you want to be media pros first randomly pick and newsworthy event make sure it's one the russians will definitely cover now all you got to do is blame the kremlin for covertly pulling the strings behind that event why well because the russian press was covering it in the midst of the ever growing hysteria of russian particularly r.t.s. meddling in u.s. politics let's see whether songes russian hysteria guide is being thoroughly followed global event brags that made its way across the globe everyone reported in this major global event including russia of course and guess what brags that

somehow got added to the list of russian involvement or for that matter any election this past year. i guess we can solidify out spot on a songes guide really is because even in catalonia that never had anything to do with russia moscow somehow got the blame for the catalans will this is seed from spain simply because well russia that's right reported on it and now we're getting to the most important part of the guide the motive which according to songe is of course profit them on c.n.n. constantly like russia the structure of. this is rating. when you see the news tomorrow and there is something fishy about russia just remember you already know

the formula for that headline francis and thiago r.t. . made around us lionel thinks the linking something to russia has become so commonplace these days people's mother can take it as fact. when ever you say the russians weighed in on something the russians have bought ads the russians did something by that inclusion of the word russians you create this nefarious connection russo for big red scare kremlin baiting suggestion and it has been done with such frequency and such volume that people americans and the news people in particular themselves have how big you waited to this they've condition where they don't even ask any questions they don't will be on a headline they just listen to this the russians did it again did what i don't know

so joe you know sancia is absolutely. correct but holds a lot more coming up the white house claims there's only one man in the stands in the way of total chaos over north korea and the money's donald trump the story after the break. despite all the efforts of the central banks to kill the economy by keeping bankers solvent when they should have been declared bankrupt years ago the index is showing that interest rates are going to go higher this means two things number one property market's going to crash and number two bond markets going to crash. europe has to either change or cease to exist people who work in this building headquarters should change the rules of the european union would have to work on

fewer issues both with better results it should be paying more attention to protecting external borders fighting against curbing illegal immigration as well as harmonizing economic policies from the judicial system otherwise the europe we have today. would transformed into a strange loose community of twenty seven countries with nothing in common. to the weekend kevin i am with you thanks for being with us this global powers fend off chaos in a number of ongoing crisis including the nuclear threats of north korea and the ongoing war in syria now it seems the white house says there's one holding it all together for world peace. i think that the president is the one that's keeping the

world from chaos to keep the world from. totally destroying north korea it will be devastating i can tell you that. the staging. moochers we are sending. has an incredible team around them helping them believe that effort it has never moved the u.s. to care about what other countries say north korea will be destroyed and we all know that we have many. goals and had tremendous accomplishments on the international stage iran deal was one of the worst and most one sided transaction the united states has ever entered and we're going to continue doing that we're going to continue doing that as a team with the president leading that effort these problems will be i mean problem solved. most of the statements of the u.s.

president we just heard a devotion of course north korea these days it's not known for leaving u.s. threats go on and so the there has been well documented pyongyang that has called for now a nationwide struggle against american actions it described the most gangster like moves for domination and aggression and quote the statement comes as a u.s. warship reportedly heading towards the korean peninsula from war drills with the south political analysts i spoke to says the still no united policy towards coming from washington. we do not see a credible strategy on the part of that on those trum administration it is not prepared to negotiate to offer a grand bargain and it does not really have a credible military strategy at the time at this stage surgical strike against north korean nuclear. capabilities are also very risky such

a surgical strike strike will be opposed by south korea as well as strongly by china and russia and we also know for sure that diplomatic condemnation and economic sanctions are not going to push north korea to give up is new program pins program just keep an eye on that story you see the red news in from the u.k. from london in the last literally ten minutes as several people believed to be an injured when a car mounted the pavement near the natural history museum in central london details still sketchy police say the driver's been arrested part of that happened in front of the serious part of the world of course specialists are going through easy it is no custody police be very tight lipped to the moment some speculation that it could have been on purpose but the police are not saying that of course london is the u.k. on alert still back on the nineteenth of june a group of. one of the pavement for this group our third to june attack in london

left seven dead forty eight injured when a white van those protesters on london bridge then there was that attack in the consulate in manchester the twenty second of may ariana grande concert and in march six people including the attacker died fifty were injured in a terror attack near the houses of parliament so nothing to say that this is tied in with terrorism at the moment but you can see it's all shut off the moment the police ambulances in attendance there are injuries we don't know the severity of the man or a person is in custody stay with us. other news this afternoon the russian military says its latest round of air strikes in syria has killed a number of i sill field commanders who were originally from the north caucasus region of southern russia were in custody of reports one hundred twenty five it is killed just by the russian air force and just over the last twenty four hours the russian ministry of defense says that a good amount of those fighters were foreigners from the central asian republics

from various arab countries and countries of the former soviet union and that would be highly characteristic of isis holding to many reports foreigners outnumber locals syrians within the ranks of isis but many of those casualties were suffered by isis in the vicinity of dina's city forty five kilometers south of dead as sort of where we are now twenty four hours ago it was the largest city still held by isis in syria now it is perhaps the hottest battleground in syria was fighting lasting throughout the night and continuing now but the syrians are allegedly in possession of over half of the city more than fifty percent the northern and western side isis is rushing reinforcements to dean of the city the door expect an offensive of these ferocity but eighty people a.t.g. hardass were allegedly caught in

a slew of russian air strikes as well as eighteen technicals pickup trucks with mounted high caliber weapons nevertheless the fight there continues and isis is still rushing reinforcements. to prevent it's symbolic for all i've seen across upon the ground there elsewhere although the american republican party has a comfortable majority still in the house of representatives also providing a platform for some new faces to emerge in mainstream politics kalam open takes a look at who's breaking through. it's primary season and the old guard of the republican party is out in full force but the question is how long will establish mint republican faces like these be around neoconservative hawkish close to big business that's how people used to know the republican party economic freedom individual sponsibility respect for free trade those are the principles that made us who we are iran's had demonic ambitions present a threat to our homeland the libyans right now are very grateful to us but this is

just the beginning we know how hard democracy is and with a new they're going to need a lot of assistance protectionism isolationism. are really not conservative values some of them have already been lost and to quite a controversial anti establishment candidate who seemed an unlikely winner even to his fellow party members i fought in the courts against liberal judges that have usurped their authority of the constitution and i fight for you united states senate and fight for the people of this state and of this nation who want to bring our country back to scrape and we can and we will let school get in and make america great the victory is one of the first signs of a new cast of characters with a very different message moving up in the ranks of the republican party i believe in the second i. meet the firebrand front runner for tennessee she's an outspoken advocate of the wall on the border with mexico and she carries

a gun in her handbag i'm a hardcore card carrying tennessee conservative and politically incorrect and proud of it. there is trouble for establishment republicans in arizona where the senators accused of being a weak globalist who has abandoned his conservative values he is a self professed globalist he much prefers the global community to putting america first and that is unacceptable in arizona and it's unacceptable in this country we know the america for. battle cry from the president of course but it's not just about him nobody voted for donald trump ok you voted for dole trump's agenda they voted for president trump as president trump because of because we're going out but also because his personality is not enough right you know going to base your future on a person going to based upon what he says he's going to do for you only thirty nine percent of republicans now say they approve of the job being done by the party in

congress a huge drop from seventy seven percent in january their grassroots base seems to have a very different perspective than those running the party and if things shift this wouldn't be the first time the republicans have had a complete make over let's not forget they began as the party of abraham lincoln and liberal reformers who were opposed to slavery as twenty eighteen approaches it looks like they may now be moving away from the politics of reagan and bush and toward something completely different cable mop and art see new york. disco but he's coming in from london the sausan and several people the police have been injured for come on to the pavement in the natural history museum in the central and these latest pictures through of believe smothers could be in there as well man's been arrested after that comment at the pavement the police being pretty tight lipped about it at the moment but some press reports showing at least four police cars a number of ambulances there are. pictures that we just showed them to look at the

time of a guy being arrested it's understood that comment of the pavement is made their way to that museums fresh on a saturday a very busy. man was seen shortly after being held to the ground by security guards scotland yard giving a brief statement they said police were called fourteen twenty one local time two reports of a collision in exhibition road south kensington they go on to say it's believed a number of protests troopers are injured offices wrote the c. london ambulance service because. they don't want to qualify. man's been arrested at sea inquiries to establish the circumstances a motive the way so the police know it's going to move out of the moment but the injuries are the those pictures pretty much to say that you say the balance of the police cause at the same will be across the entire course of two coasts. mystery now the next live update in thirty minutes with me here on our site. for now though i'll leave you and hope some of those going ok.

economic development is all about numbers we're really pleased to report this quarter we are one hundred six points. but what do we know about the other figures. when i think about the fact that our c.e.o. mike. over twenty million dollars last year more than one thousand times the average wal-mart is says. with all due respect i have to say i don't think that's right. is that just you know a free market works. people went from pretty simple financial lives free nineteen.
