the shelling snipers were everywhere you couldn't live under such circumstances we cover the roof of the building back then so that we could take cover it was unbearable we took shelter for about half an hour whenever the shelling started we just locked ourselves in here thank god now we can work peacefully day and night we just hang around smoking just like the good old days the undertow a little the atmosphere is really good around here the weather is nice everybody is feeling safe and it's only getting better you can see getting better day by day lanham outlet and i was lucky enough not to leave my home the hind this is the district the rebels couldn't get to at the time there was a blockade once but it was firmly lifted now saying god things about are despite all the things we've been through we're no better than one of them when you know it's safe you can return home if your house lies in ruins you can still fix it the main thing is it's safe now. just a couple of years ago these tents used to protect people in the street from falling

outcome of the full. effect of us with them. but it was a lot of the. oval office via must have a lot to do and a. political motive but both of you are dead if you will shoot at us for a little over him up a little bit of the wood it was a close to full deal because it felt a little out of you know my vision of me. by the going going fight it could bust me going to be. well as the investigation into the tragedy continues the company which manages the bridge has set up a fund to help the victims and has pledged to rebuild the crossing it has also apologized to the people of juneau and all those who saw. the young girl from the u.s.

state of maryland who was reportedly reprimanded for kneeling during the pledge of allegiance at school has won the support of hillary clinton the former presidential candidate tweeted that it takes courage to express disagreement with injustice eleven year old marianna taylor hopes more people will join her. to stand up. for the kind of things. you want for the people to make sure there is no. well marianna said that she was inspired by an american football quarterback who knelt during the national anthem before a game in two thousand and sixteen he said that he was against racial inequality and police brutality and his silent protest soon spread among other athletes that provoked a fiery political debate which reached all the way to the white house but you love to see one of these n.f.l. owners when somebody disrespects our flag to say get that son of

a up the field right now these guys that was not against our anthem or our flag that was actually kneeling is a reference position responding to the girl's action the american civil liberties union urged all maryland schools to guarantee students freedom of speech without punishment meanwhile the girl's school has issued a statement saying it is not aware of any students being disciplined for such behavior we put the issue up for debate with former missouri state senator john loudon and richard goodstein and former advisor to the hillary clinton presidential campaign. 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 put 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 you're taking to the streets is that bothersome to people is that annoying to

people when you get when you get arrested disproportionately when you get shot disproportionately when you get put in jail just proportionally that's not just annoying that's totally ruining your life so the fact you're taking to the streets is not merely disruptive you're trying to make a point in 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 is she what's going to make her stand peace on earth and you know will we ever get to the point where there's no discrimination no there are bigoted people let's stipulate that there are people who are bigoted they will be bigoted forever donald trump is giving them a voice but the fact of the matter is it's not to say it's wrong for them to basically stand up for what they believe in that's what this little girl was doing that's all the democratic party the united states gets her power on dividing people and separating us versus them there's class warfare gender warfare they want to

show that everybody's got a reason for injustice and they need to vote democrat to war in order to fix it and that's all this is it's just it's pure politics and hillary hillary clinton got millions more votes than donald trump did and her campaign theme was being together not dividing people she wasn't mocking handicapped people she wasn't telling punch him in the jaw and i'll pay your legal bills that's not what her theme was thirteen was about bringing people together. on monday grease and finally exits the. financial bailout program which has sustained it through an almost a decade long debt crisis over the course of the bailout put together by the e.u. and international monetary fund greece received more than three hundred billion euros but the crisis has dealt heavy blows to the country's economy more than four hundred thousand people have left the country pensions have been dramatically cut and taxes raised while debt has risen to one hundred eighty percent of g.d.p.

athens is expected to be repaying the bailout loans until about twenty sixty and while there are now signs of recovery officials supervising greek finances admit there is still a long way to go. clearly the reality on the ground remains difficult the time for a stare if he is over but the end of the program is not the end of the road for reform there is still much work to be done so that greece can stand on its own two feet we also underestimated the deep crisis facing the greek state and economy. well tensions between greece and the e.u. reached a peak in two thousand and fifteen when brussels demanded austerity measures to deal with the debt crisis most greeks voted against those measures in a referendum now the government was pressured by the e.u. into implementing them as a result the e.u. approved a key eighty six billion euro tranche of aid dimitris yana pop the us was former press officer for greece's then finance minister he believes that the country's

partners did not take the right approach to the debt crisis. and alternative would've been the drastic reduction of the debt to make it sustainable in two thousand and ten it wouldn't require a lot of restructuring in order to make the deck sustainable day but at that time neither europe nor the united states or the world economy was ready to deal with their debts effectively and that's why people view two hours date with some relief in the sense that they would not be there saying strength of as they were in the past eight years on the other hand greece will still have to continue with this and are staring which is going to make life difficult for the majority.

a large fire in a commune in a suburb of paris has reportedly left at least twenty two people injured on sunday seven are said to be in critical condition including five children now the fire started around seven pm on the top floor of a three story building around a fireman thought to bring the situation under control a police officers were first on the scene are mungo's injured because of that fire is not yet known at this time. the afghan government has announced a cease fire with the taliban in light of islamic holidays being. celebrated worldwide the truce comes after a significant escalation in fighting between the two sides hundreds of people including civilians have been killed. and i mean.

i saw my friend dying he was among thirteen people including children and women who were killed during an airstrike last night and there's no attention from the government you know no facilities for the residents are you going the dead bodies are still in the road signs i've also been injured. well the city of gaza near where the taliban offensive started has strategic importance due to its location close to the capital kabul ilia to trying to look at how after almost two decades of the american led war afghanistan is no closer to achieving peace. and this is what's happening just a little more than one hundred kilometers from the capital kabul there's barely a camera in gaza any available to film this dreadful battle locals say there are stronger descriptions than simply the tele bat is back in action and if it wasn't

for us air strikes the afghan army could have been in far worse trouble so it makes you wonder do american diplomats and their military keep in touch there is nothing that precludes us from in gauging with the taliban we're doing everything we can to ensure that our actions help the taliban and the afghan government does the same table. everything they can only a few weeks ago the state department said talking with the taliban was a good idea and regardless of how hostile their actions the extremists say they're forward to this is what we wanted and were waiting for to sit with the us directly and discuss the withdrawal of foreign troops from afghanistan the rumor is there's already been some direct contact at least we know for sure alice wells went to qatar last month where the taliban's got a political office i'm confused the armed group has all but regained its might

which not so long ago or in them a reputation of outright islamist barbarians in america and pretty much all over the world we acted and the taliban no longer is in power in afghanistan which is not only good for the security of the free world it is incredibly good for the people who suffered in afghanistan on the barbaric rule time flies us administrations come and go fair enough but the things the people in charge say about insurgents today could be totally different tomorrow taliban this taliban that the taliban are fighting isis and we encourage that because isis needs to be destroyed. oh so they're good for something at least if it's about knocking out islamic state yet just a few months earlier general nicholson said the taliban's fight against dyess was a piece of russian propaganda we see oh

a narrative that's being used that grossly exaggerates the number of isis fighters here this narrative then is used as a justification for the russians to legitimize the actions of the taliban and provide some degree of support complicated hol of ghana's stan business as usual and the american strategy for afghanistan see above the american strategy strategy from the beginning of the so-called war on terror which was launched off to the september eleventh attacks as this war has turned out to be an utter failure. you know i was we all know it was in a stronger position than it ever was in two thousand and one and so and so i think it's proof that the u.s. has been pursuing a wrong strategy in defeating terrorism on the contrary i think that the u.s. involvement up until now when the focus on military force in the region has that to

the growth of terrorism the taliban is not just pulling out a gun it's firing it it could be time for the pentagon and the state department to hunt for ideas together and be more precise the doesn't for me and the week leave heaven alone will be here in about thirty four minutes a little bit under that with a full look at your news fresh look at that international lead have you with us. when i was so small it seemed wrong but old clothes just don't call. me old

yet to shape out this day to come to add to it and gain from it because of the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. chance to look for common ground. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime stamping each day. eighty five percent of the global wealth you longs to be culled from rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent from august last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars.
