the taliban rained. on central kabul hitting the presidential palace during the dress of the afghan leader who on sunday had proposed a cease fire. coming up on the program the syrian army gears up to retake the militant held enclave of western media outlets warn of a civilian massacre the same arguments though feel to mention the area is under the control of just how this group so accused of war crimes. and the young russian boy whose mother is severely ill and in need of difficult to obtain medication appeals to locals and his city to help save her we look at what the response to his appeal

was. i run the clock across the world this is your r t international from the team myself you know neal hello and welcome to 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 couple fired according to local police by the taliban the country's president was delivering a live televised speech at the time. so. you. could do you think it came.

down willis sat d t v ad if you could. just give you a sense of the location the missiles landed in the diplomatic district of the city where government buildings are situated as we just saw the presidential palace was among the buildings hit and also reportedly was the u.s. embassy as well well the taliban has been increasing its military activity of late with another assault by the group on monday taliban fighters three buses taking almost two hundred people hostage later on monday afghan security forces reportedly freed almost one hundred fifty or so of the people journalists sultan face he sent us this report from kabul what it has been more than three hours that we still have been hearing some r.p.g. and gunfire from the 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 or so far some up to turn the 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 tuesday's mistah attack came after the afghan president offered a ceasefire on sunday to last for the duration of the muslim holiday. it looks like the attacks are scorning response to that proposal daniel hawkins reports now on the current relations between afghanistan and the taliban a three month ceasefire 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 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 and no facilities for the residents of the dead bodies are still on the road signs that i've also been injured. military commanders say the troops 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 controlled 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 they are going to. shin has forced the u.s. to sway between a military solution and negotiations with the taliban with such hot cold rhetoric from the white house it's hardly surprising the possibility of mediation is taking years to arise it's been quite

a balancing act for washington you 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 chela been that the only path to peace and political legitimacy for them is through a negotiated settlement the taliban trimble's those put their interests you know up here for you for the call of the taliban when your choices are to reconcile live in 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 list cease fire of them all a permanent solution to a decades long cycle of violence something that today looks as this tent as ever. just by those talks the taliban afghan government are scheduled to meet in moscow

in a few weeks the russian foreign minister confirmed the plans for the meeting saying the reactions been encouraging from both sides we have never hidden our contacts with the taliban they are a part of afghan society a contact arranged providing security for russians in afghanistan but also to make the taliban ended to fight and start negotiations with the government a couple of years ago we initiated the so-called moscow form where we invited afghanistan in their neighbors in the region and the usa to start negotiations with foreign support another so it takes place in early september with the taliban and the afghan government both invited as the first reaction was positive they're planning to take part in the meeting we hope it will be productive and we discussed their prospects of the talks between the taliban and the afghan government with the investigative journalist nicholas davis political analyst enters our kitty. the afghan government just recently understood the crucial rule by the us other

superpowers in that region in russia of course is one of the strongest country russia can be. in in mediating between the taliban in 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 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. the battle for the enclave marks the final stage of the syrian war if assad's forces manage to retake it it will bring almost the entire country back on government control however ahead of a campaign many western media outlets have been doubling down on the nora to vegans the muskets but some saying the assad forces are certain to inflict heavy civilian casualties the same media bill fails to mention the enclave is under control of jihadi groups accused of war crimes taking a closer look this hour. 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 of profits killing thousands of people shattering whatever illusion of safety that may have existed if 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 their moderates. h. t. s. or high yet 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 kates 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 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 ad lib province on twitter but online many warned by the media's attempts to portray that place as just

a rebel held clave so the question is if he'd lived was 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 areas of aleppo. battle districts of rebel held east of the i'm able 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 are since something our reporter saw with their own eyes.

you know world's big partners. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream video refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bad shouting

past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. fifteen minutes past five pm here in moscow welcome back there are concerns that large numbers of child slaves trafficked from vietnam and china could be working on cannabis farms in london it comes as figures this closed under a freedom of information request show this video of the illegal drugs cultivation the high number of cannabis farms across london and trafficking of vietnamese children to work in them is extremely worrying potentially thousands of children and young people are being trafficked from vietnam and exploited by ruthless criminal gangs. let's cross live now to london and artie's honest to see

a church going to highness the how large a problem is this in britain right now and tell us. well let you know the situation seems to be pretty dire indeed this issue of cannabis farms human trafficking and child slavery yet again comes to the forefront in london as this data from scotland yard following a freedom of information request revealed that hundreds of cannabis farms have been discovered in the british capital in recent years and specifically that number is said to be at three hundred fourteen that's one farm every two days from january twenty sixteen until april this year and of course this is a number that's likely to change the year unravels and what makes these matters worse is certainly concerns about who it is that's being to work at these farms or factories as they're described we do know that experts from campaign groups have been raising red flags about this issue for at least

a decade now with headlines circulating in the british press on and off throughout recent years trying to raise attention to this issue call whatever experts are continuing to say that large numbers of children and teens from countries like vietnam and other places are trafficked to work out these kinds of farms and indeed this is being described as extremely worrying it's being said that over two thousand suspected trafficking victims were referred to officials just last year and that's a number that's being described as the highest on record and one of the concerns that computers have on this issue is that oftentimes these people when discovered working at these farms could be treated as criminals as opposed to victims and this is certainly seen as a very serious issue and we have sent out requests to the home office to the metropolitan police and trafficking groups such as anti-slavery international so we will be certainly updating this report once we hear back from them on this topic

this year suspect we're going to have more. in london for i thank you very much. now one of the most prominent figures in the me too movement against harassment has now been accused of sexual assault herself and tell you actress assia argentum is being sued by a former colleague who claims she abused him when he was seventeen r t z e f picks up the story. a star in dozens of movies director author and music contributor to bands like placebo or 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 one the legal women have the same power as men i'm sure this type of violence will no longer happen the cases of women and be using their parents i hope and i believe that because of need to everyone has

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 universe. city was actually found guilty of sexually harassing a gay student of hers in response her defenders appealed to a democrat chief mint and wit apart from those in the me too 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
