10:02 pm
a military town north of kabul local journalists full time affairs i reports. it has been a very deadly day for afghanistan it's a very bloody day for afghanistan not only in northen afghanistan but also in eastern afghanistan some twelve at least twelve soldiers have been killed and three are missing but in province specifically in. in the location were still. 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 soldiers he said that twenty eight soldiers were there and there are missing men they have lost connection and they tried 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 there what have been they doing so basically
10:03 pm
falling you know post twenty fourteen. they have only involved the forces on only involved in training assist and advice mission and basically they are not on the ground but they have been conducting air strikes that have been causing sometimes civilian casualties. this is the latest in a string of taliban attacks heavy caches between the militant group and the country security forces erupted last week. you know. i saw my friend he was among thirteen people including children and women who were killed during an air strike last night there's no attention from the government
10:04 pm
facilities for the rest of the dead bodies are still on the roads and i've also been injured. professor of history and international relations at the lebanese scene investing bay re jamal wakim believes the u.s. is exhausting its ability to provide stability in the country the united states has been involved in too many crisis the resources are being drained and at the same time it's antagonizing. iran even pakistan india and other countries and its attempt to maintain its had 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 historians paul kennedy in his famous book the rise and fall of great empires so i believe the united states is being overstretched it might lead to
10:05 pm
a big crisis within this country and of course it's wrong worldwide. if it's of us where the white house has announced on a tramp has revoked the security clearance of the former cia director john brennan the president's also said to be evaluating the situation of a number of other officials and evaluating action with respect to the following individuals james clapper. james comey michael hayden sally ates susan rice and german cave peter sure 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
10:06 pm
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
10:07 pm
tweeted some indirect references to it later on but today sarah huckabee sanders elaborated on that a bit saying that the administration could also revote parents of other acts officials including james comey as peter struck who is just fired from the f.b.i. recently so immediate reaction so far have been pretty predictable so we'll just have to see if that affects trump's future decisions now as some of those names sound familiar is because they've crossed the woods with mr trump over a variety of issues and have often drawn his scorn online this is an extraordinary move the white house saying that this had to do with security issues but this is really one of vengeance. well am pinay a former u.s. national security agency technical director and whistleblower thinks the media supporting brennan has lost credibility they shut down anybody who has a different opinion so their voice is discredited totally i mean they're basically
10:08 pm
not the only their first amendment duty to find out what the guy who's doing the questioning and also looking at all kinds of options and investigating them all they're not doing that you're only going to be one sided if you investigate that's all they're doing so they they have no credibility at all and the president is doing the right thing rebooking the clearances the people who aren't contributing anything particular the only reason they have a clear example you believe government our. work is to have if you are involved in contracts or other making other contributions to government efforts in the case of brennan then all those people you just listed they're not making any positive contribution anything they're making a negative contribution everything so they have no business every good clearance. now in the u.k. say the man detained off the cheese days westminster car running incident is being held on suspicion of attempted mehta and performing an act of terror has been
10:09 pm
identified as a british citizen a sudanese origin a london correspondent and that's to say a chicken has the details. 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
10:10 pm
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 the worst idea to consider just realizing westminster because of what she's described these vehicle attacks being weapons of choice so we'll see if that happens and we've also heard from the london mayor can see that it also might not be about idea to have security not just in westminster but in london. from london to space to russian cosmonauts have carried out american space walk outside the international space station both were equipped with cameras harrison images short
10:11 pm
but i think a print copy of it was his first mission up there. every now and again we get a glimpse of the other cosmonaut next to him oh like me if it's his third time in space seven hours forty six minutes it's been one of the longest space walks in history the new space suits equipped with climate control cameras that can choose the least sixty eight degrees radius. limits were replaced with polyurethane which will give the seats a much longer life. as poss of this latest space walk the cosmonauts released for nano satellites built as possible special projects with russian universities and schools two of them serious or serious as the names will provide data about space whether they were built by sixty to send around a month while watching satellites is normally hugely expensive for the students it
10:12 pm
was free under an initiative of the russian space agency the other two units called part of an experiment to see whether it's possible for satellites to determine their own positions and orbits well oh like. who took part in today's walk is also known for his space blog which has details his trips to the i.s.f. since two thousand and fourteen. you know little because music is thoughts and you know that with it was. perfectly well over an. earth and the world was six letter was it

10:15 pm
at the president's direction the department of treasury is sanctioning turkey's minister of justice and minister of interior running. we will boycott u.s. electronic goods. i can send those who are waging an economic war against turkey for this reason i've changed all my us. the roots. i think we should always use locally made products after the spike in the us dollar the prices for foreign products increased dramatically people can no longer afford them. the whole world is watching america cannot confront as directly but it uses the dollar to wage a hidden war. the u.s. state department spokesperson was pressed by chinless on the global effects of the technician american dispute a bilateral issue between the united states has now ruled emerging markets we've heard everything from mexico to currencies or more of that the developing world of
10:16 pm
gene affected by this and what stage does one stop this and so that you know the the rest of the world doesn't sink to the bottom of the economic pile well i think what we're seeing overall. and i'm not a an economist of course but economists would certainly tell you that what is happening in turkey goes far beyond the united states and the united states recent policies full matecumbe foreign minister. told us that the u.s. president's quite sick behavior isn't him friends across the globe. it is more a political goal rather than economic. because if. reduced to through come more world and we want to use this leverage for political office this is something we're all doing unfortunately. in an
10:17 pm
unpopular war to flee from growth this new true of almost everyone including the. schools are. not sober. so it is an entirely with you know it will be more. now c.n.n. presents a quick crest has sparked controversy for saying on ad that violence coming from the left wing ansaphone may have meant in the us is more morally justified than violence which comes from the far right the comments were made the day after and to for had minor clashes with place and less while countering a white nationalist rally in washington all punctures are not equal truong a moral equivalency between those espousing hate and those fighting it because they both resort to violence emboldens hate legitimize hateful belief
10:18 pm
and elevates what should be stamped out well my colleague country pharmaco reaction both for and against chris cuomo is comments. every time i see them on television they seem to be getting some kind of fight some kind of altercation it always seems to come from them and as a matter if they're fighting hey or whatever they claim you can't put your hands on somebody and then behind some kind of moral high ground don't touch people if you don't want to be really just as simple as day it doesn't matter what political affiliation the other person is violence even if it's the most justified and righteous violence that you can have it still creates negative karma it is still a very problematic saying to use something that should be diverted to only when it's absolutely necessary these are people who really are what they purport to associate be against they're talking about being anti fascist but
10:19 pm
a lot of their action mirrors that of what was on the mussolini's time with the whole black church situation it seems like they're doing the same thing i'm not saying that there's actually to same as what was going on back then in italy but a lot of their tactics seem to mirror what they were doing just because i mean what is i believe that is an ideal or you know like i'll hold on wait wait wait wait hold on just because somebody is hateful in your eyes does not mean that it's ok or somehow justified at all to hurt then you can't say a word of violence or maybe justify you know it's not if somebody does not put their hands on you you cannot put your hands on them is very simple if you put your hands on somebody then that person has a right to defend themselves you know you talk about don't put your hands on somebody will you know somebody that has yes there's somebody that wears a mask attacks dangerous people without personal provocation puts their hands on them you know who it is it's bad man this type of behavior is justified in our society violence can be used to prevent greater violence say boils down to no it
10:20 pm
doesn't it is against the law to commit violence against another individual yeah of course but the law does not dictate morality the law is just the law many people talk on a boat it's morally acceptable to hurt. those who were talking about hate but what about the innocent people as the members of the media get attacked by and used to use schoolteachers dean i mean it's also an attack by the hand isn't it wait wait well wait hold on hold on a mechanism you see people today are people of color as the left likes to call them being made by these individuals because if their political opinion so i don't really understand this whole thing. it's ok if somehow justify sort of values that it does because most of the time when i see jimmy gage and his values use against those who just have different points of view you know i'd have to see it see the statistics on that. you know we have seen a outbreak in street fighting between fascists and anti-fascists that absolutely
10:21 pm
has happened these people are just afraid they're cowards and they're acting in a way that is totally irrational because of their fear. even to america where a judge in the u.s. state of new mexico has received death threats after granting bail to five adults suspected of child abuse they're accused of giving tara training to children to carry out carry out gun attacks with a course decision provoking such outrage daniel whole cannes has been taking a close 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 he's left shocked it was disheartening to see.
10:22 pm
in this dinner. 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 even 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. i'm guessing for me is the reason for. prosecutors say that children now in protective custody received weapons training with a view to committing mass shootings they had open access to the 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
10:23 pm
would be really ready to come back with you since you are from the group 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 seamier 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
10:24 pm
a little bit. a little bit extreme. when it's not radical who killed people thought god forbid i've never seen anything like that. but just so 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 chaunce and such cases and 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
10:25 pm
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 deferments raised a so good point this case of attracted such media attention those involved in what 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. french m.p.'s war mess sickens by us high street fashion giants gap showing young muslim girl wearing a headscarf thousands of people have now signed a petition demanding get up and the ad campaign the back to school campaign was shot in new york but when gap kids published the photos and videos on its french social media sites it sparked a massive outcry muslim clothing is
