yes in fact many of america's friends have already been forced into the fray in a war of tariffs and sanctions canada had heavy steel and aluminum tariffs imposed earlier this year and trump perhaps thought the stars and stripes needed some protection from its northern neighbor who didn't take too kindly to it that it's kind of insult to move forward with retaliatory measures on july first applying equivalent tariffs as if that wasn't bad enough the us president went and slapped tariffs on europe today i'm defending america's national security by placing tariffs on foreign imports of steel and aluminum brussels tried to hit back with restrictions of its own tried to appeal to the transatlantic solidarity special relations bonds of friendship but to no avail and it begs the question with such a long list of enemies the us is currently fighting from iran to north korea russia

china why kick your allies we haven't talked about putting america first because his allies also it with america first to the head of their own interests and this is beginning i think decouple some of. the most obviously he's really trying to assert american leadership and perhaps we've tended to think of of american aggressiveness in recent years has been probably military involvement in places like afghanistan and iraq but you know we're going to trump perhaps is less inclined to want to use military power but he wants to show that americans to particular financial who get money in the world competitors like beijing and moscow attempting to pack as much heat as the u.s. these days sanctioning and scaring everyone in view may be the only way for the u.s. to impose its will on friend and foe alike donald quarter r.t. . a military intelligence compound has been attacked in the afghan capital kabul two gunmen have been killed by security forces officers finally took control

of the building from where the gunmen had been firing at the compound and a nearby university was also placed on lockdown a group yet claimed responsibility for the attack this latest a cell comes as the country's security services struggle to deal with the spike in terror. at least. it was committed. which. my friends and i were sitting in exam in class the first period finished we went out for break time afterwards all the students return to class just two minutes later the bombs suddenly went off and when i heard the sound i couldn't feel anything. for me. me me me me me me me me me me me me me was the last time

i was. one of them in the. united nations continues to meet a big no military solution should not speak to my country. but the analyst mushtaq going to hane believes that the new rise of militant groups in the country is a direct consequence of the failure of the us and the afghan government. the u.s. and international community has made many mistakes in the course of last when and how big it within afghanistan they have not been able to put policies in place where to begin on the confidence of the out one public the government itself has not been able to deliver good governance and they have not been able to respond to the needs of the general public resulting in a loss of public confidence in the government as well as international assistance

forces the americans did not work together with the countries of the region the powers of the region such as countries in central asia russia china and i would then of honest on to create a set of consensus where we can work together towards stability in afghanistan so many effect this coming together that has been reserved. in up so just by the bomb as taliban have been successfully coming forward in peking wooded areas. with eleven school shootings already this year the u.s. is planning to spend almost two million dollars and training people to respond to emergency situations with more on this is kind of. the u.s. department of homeland security has just approved a grant to create a time a training program for high schools around the country essentially one point eight million dollars is being offered for those who could create a long term self-sustaining mechanism for the safety of high school students teenagers are being taught how to treat gunshot wounds and deal with dangerous

situations in ohio tactical grade pepper spray is being placed around the schools now when a canister is removed alarm will sound alerting the authorities here's how one politician described the pepper spray system trust me this will stop anyone in their tracks. in north dakota the police are asking that high powered rifles be stored on school grounds meanwhile texas is jumping on the bandwagon of getting teachers guns we need. are teachers to be armed we you know when you have when you're facing someone who's an active shooter the best way to take that shooter down that is with a gun but even better than that is four or five guns to one there's even talk of firearm training for preschool children it's something that we should think about america about putting guns in the hands of law abiding citizens whether they

actually be talented children or how to train for a school or a three year old cannot defend itself from a and so rifle by throwing a hello kitty pencil pasted it our founding fathers did not put an age limit on the second amendment this year the back to school sales are just pencils and notebooks parents are stocking up on body armor. in a matter of seconds. you can lock

a door with this they can't get shot out you can't get around it about arming school teachers know all right how about bulletproof backpacks. for real i think yes that is positive that teachers should be weapons for protection for the students but i don't think it's a good idea at all i think we need to disarm everybody that are more people and if we just aren't people we wouldn't need bulletproof backpacks and what about a nationwide training program for high schoolers to deal with like gunshot wounds trauma training things that's the fish and. can seem to pretty clearly agree that school shootings are a big problem but do you stop them with more or less that's where americans just can't seem to agree. archie new york. now a young girl from the u.s. state of maryland she was reprimanded for staging kneeling protest during the pledge of allegiance has won the support of hillary clinton the defeated

presidential candidate tweeted that it takes courage to express disagreement with injustice while eleven year old marianna taylor hopes if more people join her there is a chance of changing things it's important to stand up. to the people making everything so. well according to marianna her teacher shanti that over her behavior and she left the classroom in t. is the american civil rights union as all mary lynn school guarantees students the freedom of speech with no punishment meanwhile the girl's school has issued a statement to you saying it's not aware of any students being disciplined for not taking part in patrick observances the school also encourage students to speak out marianna said she was inspired by an american football quarterback who you know during the national anthem before a game in twenty sixteen his silent protest things spread among other athletes to

provoke fahri political debate all the way to the white house but you love to see one of these. when somebody disrespects. to say get that son over the field right now this guy that was not against our anthem or our flag that was actually kneeling is a reference position. ok let's discuss this a bit further shall we with joan william lloyd and he's a former republican member of the missouri senate and also rich goods they need a former adviser to the hillary clinton presidential campaign. john if i can start with the first stand on this story is he clinton making a valid point here about standing up for what you believe in which he think it's just perhaps political opportunism on her part. certainly the latter my complaint with what she's doing is the same thing same complaint with the athletes what what is your measure of success what's it going to

take for you to quit kneeling and less you have a goal and something that you actually have a path to accomplish then you're just disrupting you're just being an antagonist to your fellow athletes or the fans or in this case to her classmates what does she want what's going to make her stand peace on earth. just respond to that because we know this incident happened back in february didn't we why is clinton perhaps only tweeting about it now. probably. there is some political opportunism on her part just let richard respond to that. black people sat at lunch counters sixty seventy years ago to protest discrimination because they weren't allowed to use the same eating facilities bathroom facilities. water fountains that white people could was that disruptive

what was their objective their objective was the absence of discrimination and they frankly still encounter discrimination and the reason this quarterback happened if you're referring to me old was to put the spotlight he's a very prominent public figure to put the spotlight on something that he thought needed attention which was police brutality you could disagree with that. but you know these people. are being paid good money but they also have their head scrambled most n.f.l. players where the time they're in their forty's and fifty's they can't think straight they're there they're in a bill they are unable to process information and function like you and i can't so they get paid good money to put up with that kind of abuse and they're using a black white and tight man to be of color is actually something and this little girl frankly was doing the same thing. just respond to that you know it's well i don't go and i just think they're nailing because their heads are scrambled. and i don't think they're dealing because their heads are scrambled i think there but i

think they are confused politically in the difference between the lunch counters is simple what i said is what is the what's going to make them stand and not kneel in the case of the lunch counters that was totally just in a beautiful thing they were protesting that they were not allowed at the counter so simply allowing them at the lunch counters was the solution and we could all shake hands and hug and move forward and treat each other reasonably to say we're we're kneeling to protest police brutality well when a second and you know one person i mean if that if ever a cop is ever brutal to anybody the kneeling continues how do you how do you measure if there's pin police brutality since the lease and the instances are extremely rare consider the considering the millions of police out there doing their job every day so there's no measurement that would make them stand that's my concern about this is just disruption the notion that somehow that we were shaking

hands and walking away after people sat at lunch counters ignores all the scenes that anybody of any age saw in history or in real time of water cannons being and dogs being put on these people and billy clubs being hitting these people the side of the head that wasn't exactly shaking hands and walking away and patting him on the back for a job well done so you're sorry that yes it's true the police most police it was a measurable what is the point. it's a measurable change while lunch counters are open the protests ace that simple open the lunch counters the protest sees what's going to make the kneeling see ok when can i do again how do you measure that young can i ask you what does it matter if people want to protest however they want to protest when they saw into not why can't i want you but you will get a heads up a banksy. joe. well for one thing for one thing it's just

antagonistic it's just designed to irritate your fellow man with no result there is no solution i am a kneeler you're not a kneeler i'm more virtuous than you because i care more and you're not virtuous because you won't share solidarity with me and neil we had an entire football team walk off in the state of missouri none of morgana is going to play if they didn't get what they wanted look football is about football schools about school and if you have a protest protest in a constructive way this girl can write letters to the editor she can arrange a little march but protesting in your classroom to irritate your classmate mates and virtue signal and that's what she's being taught mom's teaching her mom is so proud that her daughter is virtue signaling that she cares more than anybody else but again the question is if you're not protesting for

a specific result then you're just antagonizing your fellow man and trying to your and your stirring strife this is strife stirring protest in the little girl needs to more time in a construct you're not me so you can hear we're running out of time richard just respond to that point i mean you know essentially what he's saying is there's no point in protesting here this fumble constructive ways to protest. yeah and i actually find that to make no sense if you're somebody who's been subject to discrimination and you're taking to the streets what exactly to protest your discrimination what's your objective you're just ject it is the end of discrimination let's put the lunch counter example aside you're taking to the streets is that bothersome to people is that annoying to people when you can.
