the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. the taliban launches a missile attack on the diplomatic district of the afghan capital as the country's president was delivering a holiday speech earlier the afghan leader had proposed a ceasefire during the holiday makers on that developing story this morning plus two. as the syrian army gears up to retake the militant held on played it live western media outlets one of a civilian massacre coming up the same outlets that failed to mention the areas under the control of jihadist groups accused of war crimes. with midterm elections looming in the u.s. the country warns of alleged external meddling again not just by russia this time by china with a trade war between beijing and washington in full swing at the same time.

either of you want to run the world mourning for me kevin owen here in moscow it's just ten ten am at r.t. h.q. in the headlines today a developing story to start with several missiles have hit the diplomatic district of the afghan capital kabul this morning local police say the taliban is behind that attack no injuries reported has to be said the assault happened just as the country's president was giving his holiday speech earlier afghan security forces reportedly freed nearly one hundred fifty people kidnapped by the taliban during an ambush on three buses on monday the group still holding some security personnel hostage raid came after the afghan president offered a ceasefire during a muslim holiday of. daniel hawkins wraps it all up. the three month cease fire proposed by president garny is not the first such motion in afghanistan it probably won't be the last that has the blessing of the us time for peace has

a better ring to it than war on terror regardless the taliban are firmly rejected it instead continuing a countrywide military offensive. no no no no no. no no i mean nothing. i saw my friend dying he was among thirteen people including children even women who were killed during an arab street last night and there is no attention from the government no facilities for the residents of the dead bodies are still on the roads and as i've also been injured. military commanders say the truce will only benefit the u.s. led forces they've also been clear no peace will be possible in afghanistan as long as the foreign occupation carries on and as coalition forces approach their seventeenth year of operations in the country how simple things seemed all those

years ago 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 under barbaric rule a decade and a half later the taliban control large swathes of territory and are able to strike at security forces and civilians almost that will afghanistan has been a battleground for various militant groups something the u.s. views pragmatically the taliban are fighting isis and we encourage that because isis needs to be destroyed the afghan question has forced the u.s. to sway between a military solution negotiations with the taliban was such a hot cold rhetoric from the white house so it's hardly surprising. the possibility of mediation as taking years to arise it's been quite a balancing act for washington to have the taliban willing to come to the negotiating table this is no talking to the taliban we don't want to talk to the

taliban we're going to finish what we have to finish and i want to reinforce to the taliban that the only path to peace and political legitimacy for them is through a negotiated settlement the taliban trembles as a hero of thirty years you know of him the boy before the call for the taliban when their choices are to reconcile women irrelevance or die in september taliban representatives have been invited for talks in moscow alongside to government officials bypassing the united states if successful these could become a step towards the long list ceasefire of them all a permanent solution to a decades long cycle of violence something that today looks as this didn't as ever and then hawkins reporting we discuss the prospects of talks between the taliban and the afghan government with investigative journalist nicholas davis and

political analyst it is a had the. the afghan government just recently endorsed the crucial rule by the us other superpowers in that region in russia of course is one of the strongest country russia and a pivotal role in mediating between the taliban and the afghan government and everybody in afghanistan is hoping that something good will happen after the conference in moscow in russia mediating ban will be also invited the afghan government could be also a participant of the conference so there could be some more progress in afghanistan because the different the negotiation in the introduction between the afghan government in taliban it just on the very fast speed the taliban have obvious on their side have concluded you know they need to apply more pressure to force the u.s. to talk to them in a sense it's ironic because you know the u.s.

have always talked about applying enough military pressure to bring the taliban to negotiations to the peace table that has always been the official u.s. policy that in fact it's the taliban who are doing that and. probably have more chance of success. we turn the syrian army is going to have offensive on the last major rebel stronghold the battle for the own clover marks the final stage of the syrian war if the assad forces manage to retake it it will bring almost the entire country back under government control but the head of the western media has been doubling down on his narrative against a massacres with some are saying that assad forces is certain to inflict heavy civilian casualties the same outlet so failed to mention the own clothes or the control of jihadi groups accused of war crimes it takes a closer look. these yagur a few of the syrian civil war has strong it's now pretty much about this part of

the country the northwest basically here in and around it is where you'll find all the armed rebel groups the ones still putting up a real fight no wonder getting hold of this area would be the ultimate success for damascus five days after multiple airstrikes hit this once quiet neighborhood province killing dozens of people shattering whatever illusion of safety that may have existed if you listen to the c.n.n. piece and get the impression it would province had been a peaceful oasis still showered by those bombs how about telling the viewers about the dicey melting pot it actually is the syrian army has been on a mission to win back land those rebels or even internationally recognized terrorists who stood in their way were given two options take out the white flag or get a one way ticket to it no kidding some were moved there on buses and that's when the

real mess began instead of teaming up various groups and went to war with each other and let's not forget some of the mightiest organizations running the show there moderates. h t s or to. arguably the most powerful and hair raising the very same people who used to be known as moose row or syria's al qaida branch and if that name doesn't ring a bell just picture nine eleven or any other bloody carnage that took responsibility for. this is quite a trio to those who've heard of nor aldin. would likely associate them with the beheading of a palestinian boy on camera they've also been blamed for torturing journalists and

aid workers jaish al islam paraded kates hostages through the damascus suburbs they once controlled only to use them as human shields later this group along with was firmly on the john kerry's terrorist list when he was in charge of the state department we've seen pictures we've heard testimony of shocking crimes committed by our by book by joshua. by al-shabaab it seems even london a staunch ally of some rebel groups has lost patients britain won't send any more cash to fighters an adlib as it says in the times newspaper u.k. diplomats have admitted the remaining rebel areas are falling into the grip of the hottest t.v. giant sky news came up with a teaser for their exclusive report from edward province on twitter but online many warned by and the media's attempts to portray that place as just

a rebel held clave so the question is if live is mainly ruled by al qaida who gave sky news the exclusive access there are not rebels there. which rebels did you get access to perhaps they've seen this reporting tactic once before during the siege of syria's economic hub aleppo activists say close to one hundred children have been killed in the east in rebel held area of aleppo. battle districts of rebel held unable to convince moscow to stop bombing civilians all they talked about was how civilians and moderate opposition fighters were being slaughtered by assad. the russians there was no mention of the hardest though and they're since something our reporter saw with their own eyes.

and the rebels are pushing into aleppo again. beyond that you're into the rebel held parts of aleppo that is the black flag of job nusra. brainchild in the syrian civil war. though. a year ago we had. our duma always black and white evil regime again. enjoyed killing. a child. of a complete reality. next the most prominent figures in the me to

the united states there are so many politics behind this and because the need to movement had so much press and publicity it's now being used for all these different motivations whether it's to shift blame away from somebody else or to try to pretend that you're a hero or in some cases we're finding now that people who weren't getting a lot of publicity as actors or actresses or in other avenues are now getting much more publicity as being a voice of the me too movement because of how popular became local income smalling who so the police the next ten minutes or so most stories ahead the u.s. has long been accusing russia of meddling in the elections as new but no it's pointing the finger at somebody else we'll tell you who after this break.

the response to the two thousand and eight price was that the global bankers got together they really architected the global financial system to withstand a ten time the impact financial crisis in the future they did nothing however to undercut the ability for the bad actors the global banks to increase their balance sheets in the leverage by ten times and now here we are in twenty eight teams and back now the balance sheet of these banks of the central banks is ten times more like.

this today to this post hand over good morning for me kevin zero in the rest of the team so when we go with the news today the u.s. now has found a new culprit when it comes to election meddling seems as china the mainstream media goes to obsessed with russia's alleged involvement in american votes and it's raising the alarm over the upcoming midterms will this caleb maupin reportage. as america prepares for the midterm november elections the mainstream media is beating that same dead horse from twenty sixteen if there is a problem you know who we can blame us and hackers ahead of them in ten i was arrogant and security of our next election the russians are targeting members of congress the us midterm elections are just around the corner and russia's attack continues to haunt the united states russian election interference in the twenty thousand midterms the russians have not reduced their hacking but it looks like

russia is not the only country capable of assembling an army of keyboard crunchers to maniacally dismantled democracy trump says that another global adversary of the united states is getting in on the action one of the foods that are so focused on looking only at russia she's also looking in another direction china but in the end if we're smart tough and well prepared we will get along with everyone so why does trump want everyone to focus on china so badly well trump is waging a trade war against china a trade war that's quite unpopular with lots of american farmers right now word of the affair disappear that we have no control over anything or are they based in washington or betraying the united states in the chinese we have no control over them but the markets are going to know that this continues for and like the time they're going to be certain people are not going to farm and i would say no matter what you think of trump's tariffs nobody likes the idea of china coming into the

country and messing up our election process trump wants us to rally around the flag and protect our ballot boxes come to think of it this could be used against any country they don't want you to like it seems like john bolton has figured that out i can say definitively that it's a sufficient national security concern about cheney's meddling iranian meddling in north korea meddling that we're taking steps to try and prevent it so all four of those countries really. our intelligence shows that there are a number of others they're looking at and considering aging particularly in two thousand and eighteen of course no actual evidence is being provided but who needs evidence anymore these days anyhow now iran russia china and north korea all plotting to meddle in the upcoming elections we shouldn't be surprised that the congress is now working on the election security bill but it's interesting to note that despite this four way pending an attack it seems like this bill will not

actually include a hand counted audit but don't worry those easily hacked computer voting systems they can handle anything trump is obviously using china as sort of this target to make it the new big bad guy the big justification he has had for at least the steel tariffs is that because the chinese government gives such a huge a subsidy to its own domestic steel production that we need to fight back of course he's going to want secondary justifications you know suggesting that china trying to influence elections or whatever else the united states has a horrific record in foreign policy the u.s. government is creating one false enemy after another and using that to justified politically unjustifiable behavior. around billion muslims across the will disintegrating islams holiest holiday eat allowed to do coaching of it was a moskos made most clearly wrong with thousands of worshippers of god this morning for traditional prez. both times are indeed celebrating one of the u. most important dates in the islamic calendar known as the festival of sacrifice

sacrifice his only son but allen replaced his son with a lamp which was sacrificed instead it is a very important day for muslims around the world. through three minutes past ten for now just an update on the story we started with about half an hour ago seems now i must say of explosions occurred in the afghan capital kabul earlier today we reported the taliban had launched a series of missile attacks on the diplomatic district in the city that as the country's president was delivering a holiday speech talking about peace earlier the afghan leader had proposed indeed a cease fire during the holiday but it seems that there's no been a very big explosion that we'll get more on what to the implications of that in the coming hour or so until we get check it out as well for the latest on that letter up so you can get all that on your mobile device as well for now as kevin i would say thanks ever so much for watching our team international here in moscow and have a great day.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of the global wealth he longs to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent lies last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars a i industrial part but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember one one business show you can afford to miss the one and only boom bust.

oh who can. will the maple lives win the stanley cup only care about around this joint here your toronto stacey what's happening hey max we recorded in this location once before right after the us elections when president donald trump was elected and of course we were here to see the influx of american refugees the democrats but they never did arrive but we're still here and i just want to remind everybody that there is of course a little airport right downtown in central toronto and you may occasionally hear a plane land you will also see many canadian geese some of them are come over here quite aggressively to do yeah i have some headlines here that i want to talk about because of course we are here for some sort of block change sort of conference and why are all these things happening why do we have big queen why do we have cryptocurrency is why do we have donald trump why do we have breaks it why do we

have all these things well it all started with report talking about it because of the financial collapse headline reads the financial crisis cost every american seventy thousand dollars fed study says america never made up the growth lost in the two thousand and eight global financial crisis and the recession it triggered a decade later u.s. households are still counting the cost so we're below the two thousand and seven trend and that equals seventy thousand dollars per household right well let's. kind of go on to talk about this for a moment here so the response to the two thousand and eight crisis was that the global bankers got together they really architect of the global financial system to withstand a ten times the impact financial crisis in the future they did nothing however to undercut the a bill. the for the bad actors the global banks to increase their balance sheets in the leverage by ten times and now here we are in twenty eighteen and in fact now

the balance sheet of these banks in the central banks is ten times more leverage and now we're at that threshold where they were unable to expand re architect who is then a crisis at eleven times the previous crisis which is what we're entering now remember that famous movie where they had to turn crank up the volume to eleven that's where we are finally capital tap we're at eleven on on the crisis level and there is no provisions for massive global financial collapse as we're now seeing with the dollar skyrocketing out of control and so it's back to good times and you are right that going was created to combat the banks stirs and in this crisis in this crisis now unfolding will see that i'm not sure you can the us and i'm shaking my torso right i'm not we'll see the price now zoom up to that hundred thousand target i've had since two thousand and eleven.
