a very deadly day for afghanistan it's a very bloody day for afghanistan not only in north than afghanistan but also in eastern afghanistan some twelve at least twelve soldiers have been killed and three are missing but in babylon province specifically in. in the location were still it's there are conflicting reports that you know all forty five people or afghan security forces have been killed but speaking earlier to a spokesperson for the north and corpse he didn't confirm the death of the new soldiers he said that twenty eight soldiers were there and there are missing men they have lost connection and they try to send reinforcement but they have been also ambushed many people have been actually you know have been you know questioning the management of the security forces that what have been they doing so basically falling you know post twenty four teams. they have only involved the

forces on only involved in training assessed and advice mission but basically they are not on the ground but they have been conducting air strikes that have been causing sometimes civilian casualties. well this is the latest in a string of taliban attacks heavy clashes between the mission creep and the country's security forces erupted last week. i saw my friend dying he was among thirteen people including children and women who were killed during an airstrike last night there is no tension from the government facilities for the residents in the dead bodies are still on the roads and i've also been injured. or professor of history in international relations lebanese

university in beirut came believes that the us is exhausting its ability to provide stability in the country the united states being involved in too many crisis the resources are being trained and at the same time it's antagonizing russia china. iran even pakistan india and other countries and their attempt to maintain its head germany over global affairs but this is exhausting the united states and i believe that it's leading it to overextension the way. they did. by the historian paul kennedy in his famous book the rise and fall of great empires so i believe that the united states is being overstretched and it might lead to a big crisis within this country and of course its role worldwide.

police in the u.k. say the man detained after tuesday's westminster car ramming incident is being held on suspicion of attempted murder and performing an act of terror he has been identified to is a british citizen a sudanese origin with more details his and see chocolate. we do know that the press here are saying that this is a man who is twenty nine years old he is being named as sally kadir british citizen of sudanese origin it's been reported that this man came to britain back in twenty ten as a refugee and applied for asylum and was granted british citizenship within the last two years it's also being reported that this is a man who lived in birmingham and was actually according to some reports being made now in london to reportedly apply for sudanese visa to be able to visit his family back home it's also being reported that he was not known to the m i five or the

counter-terror police but local police in birmingham where he lived were aware of his identity and we do know that police here who are now investigating this case have been saying that he's not been cooperating with them and that's their main priority remains to be able to determine what exactly has motivation is police have investigated and looked into two properties that could have been associated with him still searching another but no other people have been arrested in connection to this so the police are continuing to look into that and we're also hearing here that the car that he had driven to london in from birmingham actually arrived the night before this incident took place and interesting we just mentioned we know that the metropolitan police commissioner here in london has said that it might be not the worst idea to consider the gesture and eyes in westminster because of what she's described these vehicle attacks being weapons of choice all see if that happens and we've also heard from the london mayor said it can see that it also

might not be a bad idea to have security not just in westminster but in london. right now two russian cosmonauts occurring at an extended seven hour space walk at the international space station both are equipped with cameras and we can see pictures coming from them live as we speak in these pictures from. it's his first mission up there and every now and again we do get a glimpse too with the other cars not next to him or like our chimney of for our leg it is for third time in space they started this space for more than six hours ago they've had a busy day and will be busy carrying out repairs for about another irish or so and that will make it one of the longest space in history where those space suits that you can see do represent a new generation of space where two they are equipped with climate control and probably cameras the ones that we can assume now and they can also shoot three sixty degree videos as well rather elements of also being replaced with part of

your thing with which is. a much longer life. as part of the current space walk cosmonauts were also released for nano satellites built as part of a special project with russian universities and schools city is that all serious sam as it's nicknamed would provide data about space weather to them were built by sixty didn't snow only around a month and while launching a satellite is normally a very expensive business for the students it was free under an initiative with the russian space agency ross cosmos the other two units called. a part of an experiment to see whether it is possible for satellites were going to use themselves in terms of their positions in orbit well or leg here who's doing today's walk is also known for his space space blog which has detailed his trips to the i assess since twenty forty. because there's because dogs and you know that would be thanks.

thanks thanks thanks thanks for the was her purse or look. there were circumstances if. it. was. it was. perfectly. was. it something people like you. it was the result of was a lot of it i suppose of the clothes it is that it helped. to keep it for what it's covered up which is the.

lengths. that the white house has just announced that donald trump has revoked security clearance of the former cia director john brennan the president has also said to be evaluating the situation of a number of other officials. are you waiting action with respect to the following individuals james clapper james comey michael hayden sally ates susan rice and german cave peter shrugged lisa page and bruce or security clearances for those who still have them may be revoked it is for the foregoing reasons that i have

exercised my constitutional authority to deny mr brennan access to classified information sara sander spoke to press and she said that the decision to revoke brennan's clearance was based on his erratic conduct and behavior defending the move as an effort to secure classified info from someone who has helped foment division in the past and clearly has very partisan leanings and john brennan himself has already chimed in blasting the move as part of a bid to suppress free speech and punish critics but for some context john brennan left his position as director of the cia back in january twenty seventeen and he now serves as m s n b c's senior national security and intelligence analyst but this whole debacle began last month when senator rand paul called brennan's motives into question asking if he had been profiting off of his clearance by divulging secrets to the mainstream media his exact words he even met with trump asking him to revoke the clearances of not only brennan but

a few other prominent political figures now after that sarah huckabee sanders read out a list of names of who else was and can disagree and it included former f.b.i. director james comey a former director of national intelligence james clapper and a few others for apparently spreading rumors about russian collusion now trump also tweeted some indirect references to it later on but today sarah huckabee sanders a lab aerated on that a bit saying that the administration has also revoked clearances of other acts officials including james comey and peter struck who was just fired from the f.b.i. at least at least so immediate reaction so far has been pretty predictable so. if. that affects trunks future decisions. so it's come the u.n. peacekeepers are returning to the disputed gotten heights after the area's liberation from terrorist groups we'll have a look at the details on maps of the stories to just tough to break.

on saturday irresponsible lobbyist accessing unlimited credit from an irresponsible federal reserve bank the infinite regress that you saw with money starting in the one nine hundred seventy s. and now insurance companies selling insurance on insurance contracts i'm sure as

contracts i'm sure it's contract with another bureaucrat another bureaucrat is infinite regress. turkish president spokes person has said that washington is almost completely halted relations it comes amid rising standoff over tariffs turkey is high to write some key american products including cars and alcohol. the u.s. has brought relations with turkey to an almost complete coat of disappointment is profound. i was aggravated when i encouraged detained an american pastor over alleged links to terrorism among other measures washington slapped additional tariffs on turkish. lira promising to record lows against the u.s.

dollar to the stocks also tumbled. release pastor andrew bronson now or be prepared to face the consequences. we will respond to the u.s. declaring the trade on the whole world by answering new markets and finding allies at the president's direction the department of treasury is sanctioning turkey's minister of justice and minister of interior. we will boycott u.s. electronic goods. waging an economic war against turkey for this reason i've changed all my u.s. . roots. i think we should always use locally made products after the spike in the u.s. dollar the prices for foreign products increased dramatically people can no longer afford them. you know the whole world is watching america cannot confront us

directly but it uses the dollar to wage hidden war while the u.s. state department spokesperson is also pressed by journalists on the global effects of the turkish american dispute bilateral issues between the united states has now ruled emerging markets we've had everything from mexico to india currencies morro the developing world. affected by this and what stage has once. that you know the the rest of the world doesn't think this is a bottom of the economic well i think what we're seeing overall and i'm not of an economist of course but economists would certainly tell you that what is happening in turkey goes far beyond the united states and united states recent policies the former turkish foreign minister yes a yak has told us that the u.s. presence quote undiplomatic behavior is losing him friends across the globe. it is

more the political goal rather than economic. because if turkey's economy reduced to a few more one ruble and they want to use the leverage for political to loose is something we're all doing on full simply you do if you. want the people who are weary from growth you. can go almost everyone including. if this caused. you to. sever. so with an entirely would you know but it will be more of the. french m.p.'s have warned that they are sickened by us high street fashion giant gap showing a young muslim girl wearing a headscarf thousands of people have now signed a petition to demanding that gap and the ad campaign with

a back to school campaign was shot in new york but when gap kids published the photos and videos on its french ocean media sites it did spark a massive outcry the reason is that muslim clothing is a divisive issue in france with the jap style head coverings banned in schools the country secularity or separation of state and churches and shrines in the constitution where the us whereas the us first amendment does guarantee freedom of religion and also of expression we went to the streets of paris to gauge opinion on gaps make. in. an acceptable to boycott just because they sure. to because the same pitch is no big deal veiled girl there's their way she sees things on this now the concern. on the back three it's not something we're used to women wearing veils but really children. are

separate i'm against showing a little girl learning a whale i think it's a shame to get says young children and old tomorrow to stick to issues concerning. what we have to comment on the story may let you know when they do reply in the meantime french politicians are already calling to boycott the brand gap shelves a little veiled girl market in promotes submission to islam is where are the need to out a pig movements gap continues that submission to islam islam with its posters of veiled little girls i have denounced several times this rise in power or the veil imposed on little girls which is an abuse and trampling on our values of equality freedom and secularism culture ism experts as hillary says that the french tradition though is to embrace and not to shut down provocative advertising but as far as the government is concerned there question should be ok is it legal or illegal in france putting the mail on in school is illegal so if the picture were

something that were happening in school then to get france would have to ask us to make it different pictures because they can't. put a schoolgirl in a trance should embrace its diversity so in my opinion. these type of pictures should be welcome in trance i used to work in the perfume industry and france was always very very free about showing a lot of the female body and pretty america is meant. if we had clients in other countries who didn't agree with it or who had laws where you couldn't expose a lady's body too much and we simply provided them with another picture. you know based on the legality if france has a problem with that you know they can always ask that. the judge in the u.s. state of new mexico has received death threats after granting bail to five adults

suspected of child abuse they are accused of giving terror training to children to carry out gun attacks with the court's decision provoking search outraged hawkins has been taking a closer look at a missing boy exorcism rituals and alleged child terror training the stories riveted the american media this is the makeshift compound in the remote new mexico desert where eleven children disheveled and malnourished were found by police along with five adults a collection of guns and ammunition and a child's body your thoughts were left shocked it was disheartening to see. in this d.n.a. . that people could live that way. no running water no electricity it was. they were in bad shape the man behind this set up is alleged to be syringe with waage the body is believed to be

that of his child. although the corpse is yet to be identified siraj abducted his son who was severely ill before taking him to the compounds to the horror of the mother. this is a good thing for me is the reason for the. prosecutors say that children now in protective custody received weapons training with a view to committing mass shootings they had open access to firearms and in a sinister turn the three year old boy died during a religious ritual to exercise demons the other children were told the infant would then return and tell them exactly what attacks to carry out the sugar were all that would be really ready to come back with you since you were. on what institutions the group needed to get rid of these are situations including teachers military law

enforcement financial institutions now there is more to the story sewerage and what is the son of a new york a mom of the same name whose attracted his fair share of controversy islam is better than a democracy in time the so-called democracy will crumble and there will be nothing and the only thing that will remain will be islam what hides sr was an unindicted coconspirator in the nine hundred ninety three world trade center bombing meaning he was never charged but believed by off to be linked to the attack and the perpetrators perhaps surprisingly their mom confessed his son's religious beliefs may have been intense but i think that my son can be a little bit. a little bit extreme. when not radical killing people thought god forbid i've never seen anything like that. just you know he just a little bit sometimes little bit you know. now despite the family previously

coming to the attention of authorities it does seem the gun bristling compound was only discovered by chance and such cases are not isolated we have had compounds like this where not only is it a threat to the surrounding city and to the states within the u.s. but it's also a threat to the women and children that are kept there i've spoken to some people that have been in compounds much like this one where this young boy was found it's a very big issue that the u.s. hasn't looked more into this and that the u.s. has known about these kinds of compounds throughout many states for a long time so we really do need to make sure that our law enforcement our f.b.i. or department of justice knows how to combat that and isn't just blinded by the fact that we don't want to look at religion or offend anybody because those very people that we're trying to not offend are having their own women and children either killed or treated very horribly. the defense raised a savior point would this case have attracted such media attention had those

involved been white christians we don't know whatever the art so in this case all five have been granted bail by a judge not to be dangerous enough for custody. york is reporting there u.n. peacekeepers returned to the golan heights after the area was liberated from jihadists however the region is still hotly contested with syria and israel fighting over it for decades says he expects this city in the golan heights is one of the latest sites where the syrian army has brought to risk rule to an end. we were among the first international news crews inside after its liberation just

months ago the city of qom nature behind me was still under the control of well with most of the infrastructure gone this is the main focus of the syrian government now. liberated but far from we weren't allowed further inside the city if you hardest have made demining the area a painstaking process for decades the golan heights have been fought over both syria and israel claims the land. as far as the un is concerned it's definitely syrian but that's. the exchange of fire. when they do. the advance so un peacekeepers flee in twenty fourteen they'd been

the only fools to try and ease tensions considering the volatility of the situation here at the golan heights the u.n. made a big point out of establishing a presence here well speaking about this particular checkpoint they were driven out by terrorists al nusra front and eisel are the two main factions that briefly gained foothold here and well this area doesn't need any more has still it's a there's plenty of it here already after all the front line was just over there with again no strength i saw holding some territory and israel doesn't need terrorists on its border and it's just points begin right over those mountains now at least the u.n. patrols can begin again with the help of some russian backup. but it together with a u.n. representative we conducted an initial patrol during which we checked the safety of the roads. the main problem is that there are lots of explosives which we've sent

all the information we have to the un peacekeeping force for analysis to reconstruct you in checkpoints the russian military police are helping the u.n. mission to inspect the u.n. checkpoints the golan heights may still be territorially be in a state of flux but at least the terrorists have finally been repelled and the u.n. peacekeepers can get on with the job and we've done of reporting from the golan heights in syria for r.t. but we did ask the un mission to comment on the situation and it has confirmed it is implementing a gradual return to the golan heights. so that's how the news is looking so far today don't forget there we've got a website full of stories for you to you can find that out and.

just manufacture them sentenced him to public will. when the ruling class is to protect themselves. in the final merry go round certainly the one percent so. we can all middle of the room sit. in the real news room. now finally in a town hall and also the defendant ever tell you now how's it going to live on dollar non-compliant. finding if you knew you would be that easy to find and found that out in me. plus is that going to see the city people. getting. killed i thought it might

have been my little bit of a wonderful enough that i little bit out of the fact that i don't have money coming over as much of the way for the mob to go to pot and. this is the sunday slave lists some supporters of this. say. to see if. you can be no problem. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to get us out of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.
