rosa let's just establish is a country so being any clubs right now was just established as a country that's when the soviet union. had its break up so neutral flags were always down to the i.o.c. sanctions. if you have a train go r t chang. even travelling to say one of the world's largest sporting events can prove challenging especially with similar sounding korean cities on everyone's lips.

pakistan's national security advisor is warning against american strategy in afghanistan and is urging the country to negotiate with the taliban and we got some insight on this from the chairman of the pakistan people's party who thinks that the u.s. since lost its way in the conflict. has been a strong ally of the u.s. in the war on terror but it's been about sixteen years and there's still no end in sight how much change mark steines policy in afghanistan unfortunately the of on

war has turned into this for ever war with the united states is a lot site of its objectives it seems that they don't know why they're there what they want to do or how they're going to get out the fact of the matter is that seventy five percent of honest and witnesses terrorist activity forty five percent of our plan is done is not in the control of the of on government we want there to be peace in afghanistan but it has to be an afghan led peace and the afghan government and nato forces need to start taking responsibility for their failures if in this long in this flare war they haven't been successful it's time for us to rethink what we're doing. i and the pakistan people's party police have a non interventionist foreign policy in their change if changes to take place that

has to take place domestically inorganically. and unfortunately we've seen the west get overly excited by the arab spring and didn't allow it to take its organic conclusion and we shouldn't focus on individuals we shouldn't try and advance political agendas states political agendas whether it's in afghanistan syria or in iraq and we should let the people of syria decide their future. well we've always always in our previous government emphasize good relations with all countries particularly our neighbors but i don't think it's fair to expect from pakistan that they want to maintain good relations with china who's been our all weather friend an absolutely important ally to our country or even iran who is our neighbor i am really happy to see cooperation between pakistan and russia

increasing and i'm very optimistic that this partnership will continue to increase we like to be treated with respect and the people of russia and the government of russia have been very respectful to the government and the people of pakistan. has been in the headlines already this year because of the roller coaster ride it's giving investors but the cryptocurrency underlying technology is also creating waves block chain uses linked packets of data to create unique time stamp digital fingerprint and prevent outside tampering and strengthens the verification process of any transaction and it's being adopted across many industries from banking to shipping and to start up projects it's proving to be a boon one recently raised ten million dollars in twenty seconds artist miguel francis santiago met the head of the record breaking company at a blocked chain forum in singapore. the i.c.a.o. phenomenon is breaking records and funding we found three projects that claim to want to make the world a better place and raising funds one of them faced or on the last day of the

conference got ten million dollars in twenty seconds breaking all past records they simply created a facial recognition surveillance software with artificial intelligence on the block chain platform creating something that is affordable and easy to use for the masses people can use this for just about anything up proof of concept because we've got a working centralized edition right now you can do anything like for example in a gambling institution we had the casinos say listen here the people coming in they want to ban themselves because they were gambling issues and then they come back in a gambling weed and haven't recognized them then they claim their money back because a big problem so we did proof of concept with them and even then in the low locking they really hitting ninety eight percent and i've got corporations around the world contacting me every day saying to integrate with you when you have your fiesta k when you get the a.p.i. so we can link into services to open to the ad view why you've managed to raise ten million in twenty seconds or these guys from the world bit app saying they are looking to help emerging economies to engage in commerce through augmented reality

allowing you to interact with any product or service created around you are better the world is an augmented reality block chain application that we use in to really help emerging economies what we want to do is we want to talk to the artisans the moms and pops of the world better in these emerging economies that don't get a fair shot at commerce and give them a tool to actually go ahead and reach consumers a farmer in the country reaching a potential customer in the city is now a reality then there are crypto venture companies that are literally looking for that special project that will decentralise and make the world's commerce more transparent well create a venture is a company that he created to promote i coach that. do have us intention to change the life of millions of people for the better we get him. old very bored and people we seem to feel the technicians express it in. politicians to really make him understand what that is he had to state that it's not going to go anywhere but

the leading crypto market analyst has a completely different view when i say i try to convince people to be very careful about investing in any i c.e.o.'s because it's other people try to convince you to give them your hard earned money as an unqualified investor for their idea. since i'm a bit coy or. getting around regulation but i'm getting around regulation in a decentralized way that the government can not stop. i suppose there are not that there are some choice means to get around regulation which is sooner or later they're going to. get a complete update on all the new show crypto only in which you can watch now it's on our website and you tube channel that should news right for this hour if you are on the move get alerts any time at all so you don't call me i'll be back here to update you and often.

you should. put themselves on the line they did accept or reject. so when you want to be president and you. want to that's. actually going to be this is what before three of them can't be good. i'm interested in the water. there should. let me make this manufactured consent to the stink of public wealth. when the ruling classes to protect themselves. in the primary go round if suddenly the one person told. us to bring all middle of the room signal. to lose any more you leave this world

in the world. about your sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. you're out caught up to us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was again still some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this was quite different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. to claim that

mainstream media has met its maker. it is but. am i there ever. was. i right.

welcome to sophie and killing sophie shevardnadze don't trump has locked horns with his own intelligence and law enforcement how damaging can the rift between the white house and the american intelligence get well i asked him a decade ca veteran ralph larson. what. public scandal is political cycle with the investigation of president trump putting the spotlight but his national. politics. public and will therefore radically change the situation in the country. we're all from out larsen former cia veteran who served as moscow section chief among other politicians welcome to the show it's really great to have you with us. now wolf the american intelligence community has been accused of being politicized

many times in a bush shares to politicians use it to justify walk now agencies are again the world of in a political scandal i know you pride yourself on your colleagues for being patrick achi nonpolitical but can you really be about politics in this line of work i mean that sounds kind of like fairy tale almost. i think it's a standard you have to strive for have been a lifelong political independent for that reason that you outlined that it's crucial for intelligence officers to be independent and objective and serve the country not just the president and the government but we are also all citizens now the intel they were our taxpayer funded they have no private sector competition appointments there are made by politicians how can all that not be politicized. actually the in the intelligence profession all of our officers are career professionals we spend our entire career inside the agency in my case i was

undercover for my twenty three years in cia living abroad for most of those years and frankly i really felt it was not that difficult to maim maintain my impartiality and i think you have to do that whether you're collecting information or analyzing it or disseminating it which is this initial mission of intelligence you have to maintain an ability to tell your policymakers the truth in other words speak truth to power. is that right for an intelligence professional to design for a high political office for instance the media in the us are saying that director of the cia might compel maybe replacing secretary of state rex tillerson singh staring too much into political territory. there is always a healthy discussion about the idea of particularly former intelligence professionals getting involved in politics i personally don't agree with that

as a principle for the same reason for military officers getting involved in politics but my payoh was a representative who and often are cia directors or they are political appointees pointy and he's in a long line of cia directors who are political appointees and that that is the way our system operates just like many of our ambassadors overseas are part of a line politically always with the president so i don't find that worrisome or disturbing i think it's much more important that the the ranks of the intelligence officers remain professionalized how much freedom the cia have and decisions and when for instance bush administration ran torture prisons and then obama came in and closed them that the agency has the power to decide for itself whether you need things like that and whether it's ethical to use them. that's a great question a sophia i feel the intelligence community has

a good set of guidelines it starts with a given set of authorities we have in other words we can conduct certain activities are we call our mission without special authority for example the mission of espionage is a core intelligence mission of all intelligence services we can do that without seeking approval when we do something like interrogation or enhanced interrogation or have prisons that requires actually what we call a covert action binding that it requires a a finding from our department of justice that we can do that activity as well as very strict legal guidelines that are laid out in writing for the agency to follow and at the times when we we run afoul of that when we when we are accused of crossing the line we're held accountable by whatever standard has been laid out by our department of justice and our other authorities that are above us now the involvement on guard.
