aren't twenty eight and back now the balance sheet bank of the central bank is ten times. the taliban. in central kabul hitting the presidential palace during a live address by the leader who on sunday had proposed a cease fire. also ahead on the program as the syrian army. militant held enclave of western media outlets warn of a civilian. this same though failed to mention the area is under the control of just how this group's accused of war crimes. a young russian boy whose mother is severely in need of difficult to obtain medication appeals to locals in his city to

help save her we look at the response to the appeal was. just after four pm here in moscow this tuesday august the twenty first welcome we're every year tuning in from i'm you know neal our top story the afghan capital saw three hours of heavy fighting on tuesday between security forces and insurgents earlier in the day missiles rained down on central kabul fired according to local police by the taliban the country's president was delivering a live televised speech at the time he he says . did they. don't will

as sad d t be add if you couldn't let missiles landed in the diplomatic district of the city where government buildings are situated as we just saw the presidential palace here was among the buildings had reportedly was the u.s. embassy well the taliban has been increasing its military activity lately with another assault carried out by the group on monday taliban fighters three buses taking almost two hundred people hostage later on monday afghan security forces reportedly freed nearly one hundred fifty of those people journalists face he sent us this report from kabul well it has been more than three hours that we still have been hearing some r.p.g. and gunfire from this side which is not more than six kilometers from our location

here. police believes that there have been two up to three assailants involved into this attack and the source for some up to ten rockets have been fired into different locations kabul police says that two policemen have been slightly injured into these attacks but the look ation have been evacuated the firefighters of arrived and trying to douse and we have to wait and see what will be the latest about because we still do not have any clue about the civilian casualties or choose these missile attack came after the afghan president offered a cease fire on sunday to last for the duration of the muslim holiday. it looks like the attacks were scorning response to that proposal a done deal hawkins' reports than the current relations between afghanistan and the taliban 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. and i don't think. 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 in an open syllabus for the residents going dead bodies are still on the road signs that 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 is taking you. has to rise it's been quite

a balancing act for washington to have the taliban willing to come to the negotiating table there's 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 trimble's those. thirty years you know of him to the border before the call for the taliban when their choices are to reconcile living a relevance. 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 cease fire of them all a permanent solution to a decades long cycle of violence something that today looks as this didn't as ever well just. the prospects of the talks between the taliban the afghan government

with political analyst into zuora kidane investigative journalist nicholas davis. the african goldman just recently understood the crucial rule by the other super powers in that region in russia of course is one of the strongest country. 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. 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 and taliban is just on the very fast speed the taliban have obvious on their side have concluded that 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. the syrian army is gearing up for an offensive on the last major rebel stronghold it led the battle for the enclave marks the final stage of the syrian war if assad forces mileage to retake it it will bring almost the entire country back on government control however the head of the campaign many western media had been doubling down on the nora to vote against the massacres with some saying the assad forces are certain to inflict heavy civilian casualties the same media though fails to mention the entry was under

control of jeff hardy groups accused of war crimes. 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 if existed you listen to this c.n.n. piece and get the impression it looked 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 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. 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 kate's hostages through the damascus suburbs they once controlled only to use them as human shields later this group along with . was firmly on 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 in 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 bind the media's attempts to portray that place as just a rebel held clave so the question is if libya's mainly ruled by al qaida who gave sky news the exclusive access they 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 that beast in rebel held area of aleppo mill your seat in the battle districts of rebel held east of the unable to convince moscow to stop bombing civilians all they talked about was how civilians and moderate opposition fighters were being slaughtered by assad and. the russians

there was no mention of the hardest though and there since something our reporter saw with their own eyes. and the rebels are pushing to 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. a year ago we had. what we had. always been why. again we. enjoy killing.

campaign against sexual harassment is sued by a former fellow actor who alleges she raped him when he was under age we've got that story. we have no idea what safety is doing on vacation but she will be back on it in september. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each

day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to the rich eight point six percent markets thirty percent just last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one so you can't afford to miss the one and only boom. you're back with r t international one of the most prominent figures in the me too movement against harassment has now been accused of sexual assault herself and tell you not see argento is being sued by

a former colleague who claims she abused him when he was seventeen r t z. picks up the story. a star in dozens of movies director author and music contributor to bands like placebo a gentle jerk of all trades charged headlong to accuse the now it is graced hollywood producer harvey weinstein of sexually abusing him pioneering the me too movement blundell it when women have the same power as men i'm sure this type of violence will no longer happen the cases of women imbues in their parents i hope but i believe there because of me too everyone has a voice everyone has a chance to speak out and inspiring called by all means yet let me replay you one quick bit for you. the cases of women imbues in their parents well according to a report by the new york times our gentle herself falls into that category the investigation claims the activist paid nearly four hundred thousand dollars in hush

money to a guy called jimmy bennett who accused her gentle of sexually assaulting him in two thousand and thirteen now even a brief glimpse around social media shows the two have quite a history in two thousand and four bennett played a son of a character in one of the movies and since then a very cordial relationship was maintained waiting for my long lost son miss you mama this borderline flirting between the two has left questions hanging over the grave of the trauma or gentle dealt out why did she agreed to foot the certain bill then well bernard at the time of the incident was a teenager seventeen one year short of the age of consent in california so technically our gentil faced a statutory rape case this is the latest but not the first time champions of me to

a noble and valiant movement have cast shadow on their own cause in another case a feminist professor at new york university was actually found guilty of sexually harassing a gay student of hers in response her defenders appealed to a democrat cheve mint and wit. apart from those in the me two ranks undermining its own cause there's another problem innocent victims last year one traffic hungry swedish tabloid published anonymous accusations against a stockholm theater director again the article gave no names no one revealed themselves after the publication either stilled benny frederick zones career was ruined after sixteen years at the helm of his theater here is a mind after several months he took his own life after his death and investigation revealed he did nothing wrong just a week later he must have felt like falling into

a bottomless abyss and then he hadn't been planning for a long time to take his life he just didn't make it that day it was too bad for many me too helped overcome the terror of public shame and potential vengeance it showed that no one is immune to justice but as of now hypocrisy and exploitation for personal gain could bring about its demise. of speaking about the ramifications of that but we also spoke to jennifer braden who is a legal analyst she sees the positive aspects of the need to campaign are being outweighed by people exploiting it for their own ends. unfortunately the entire impact of the media campaign it's hasn't been as positive as it should have been theoretically it had a good thought to come out in the first place there was a good motivation behind it which is that it dims deserve to have a voice they deserve to have their stories be heard but unfortunately especially in 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. the you is seemingly find a new culprits when it comes to election middling china the mainstream media though is still busy with rush's alleged involvement in american votes and is raising the alarm over the upcoming midterms with were not killed up and 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 in hackers ahead of the midterm it was arrogant and security of our next election the russians are targeting members of

congress 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 dismantle democracy trump says that another global adversary of the united states is getting in on the action. one of the fools that are so focused on looking only at russia she starts also looking in another direction china but in the end if we are 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 no word for just a very remote control or if there are those based in washington the train station the chinese we have no control over but the markets are going to know that this

continues for unlike 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 that are 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 steel tariffs is that because of 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. right let's read things up a notch now because patriot park located just outside moscow will play host to an
