warned of a civilian the massacre the same eid let's go fail to mention the area is under the control of this group. of war crimes. twenty four hour news live from moscow you're with our team international good to have your company on top story. the british foreign secretary says using his first official trip to the united states to call for more pressure against russian jeremey hunt speech in washington is expected to reinforce britain's anti kremlin stance and call for a unified western action against moscow. those who don't share the values need to know that there will always be a serious price to pay its red lines across but today the united kingdom asks its

allies to go further by calling on the european union to ensure its sanctions against russia are comprehensive and that we truly stand shoulder to shoulder with the u.s. . well just two weeks ago washington imposed fresh sanctions accusing moscow of being behind the chemical weapon attack on the former russian double agent surrogates cripple and his daughter in the u.k. earlier this year well these latest measures will come into runs let's go through them the first was already imposed on august the sixth the names to limit exports and financing particularly in the russian energy sector it also bans exports of sensitive national security goods like technology as you can see on the screen here the tougher second round will come into force in november and could affect the banking sector in place restrictions on imports it will also suspend diplomatic

relations and terminate flights moscow ses the measures are tantamount to economic war. it is because that i was there not support of russia will consider retaliatory measures in response to yet more adverse steps from washington mutual in light of these the confirmation by the us administration of its read and that is to keep improving relations with russia just looks ridiculous it's a blatant hypocrisy yes it was possible which the but the if something follows something like a restriction of the operations of russian banks will do use of foreign currency it can be called for what it is a declaration of economically and it will be necessary to respond to this war with economic political or if necessary other methods you yeah and despite that washington is continuing to impose new measures against the russian economy a little while ago the u.s. treasury department announced it has frozen millions of dollars worth of russian

sets let's get through some about with recount or worse than d.c. correspondent hi there samir it's hard to keep up with the rate of sanction washington is imposing at the moment what do we know about the latest statement from the treasury well lucky for you they did release a statement and they explained its decision saying that russia is a major threat to u.s. national security listing a number of reasons occupation of crimea b. one attempt to subvert western democracies amongst other things but the statement also reiterated how effective it sanctions were check out what was said. the bread and brazenness of russia's malign conduct demands a firm and vigorous response our actions are imposing an unprecedented level of financial pressure on those supporting the kremlin's malign agenda and on the

sectors of the russian economy though russia's malign activities continue its adventurism undoubtedly has been checked by the knowledge that we can bring even more economic pain to bear using our powerful range of authorities and that we will not hesitate to do so if its conduct does not demonstrably and significantly change the u.s. says that saying sions are the most effective way influencing behavior but the consequences not only affect the u.s. but europe as well now the european commission had a few words saying quote the fear is that american policy would restrict the behavior of european companies and impact energy policy making within the e.u. europe's energy supply is a matter for europe and not the u.s. and this was the joint statement from germany and austria but a trust in that trying to promote stronger relations with russia but judging by what's going on it looks like washington doesn't want that ok thanks for bringing

us up to date. the latest piece of information in washington d.c. . moving on to more headline news this hour the afghan capital saw three hours of heavy fighting on choose the between security forces and insurgents earlier in the day missiles rained central kabul fired according to local police told them the country's president was delivering a live televised speech at the time. you know. maybe he. could do if he did they. don't will as sad d t be add if you could obtain the missiles landed in the diplomatic district of the city where government buildings are situated as we just saw there at the presidential palace down here in

a news wall that was among the buildings had all sort of portably was the u.s. embassy well the taliban has been increasing its military activity of lates with another assault cari died by the group on monday taliban fighters on bush three buses taking almost two hundred people hostage later on monday afghan security forces reportedly freed nearly one hundred fifty people journalists face he sent us this report about all about from kabul. well 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 and a 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 asian have been evacuated the firefighters of arrived and tried trying to douse and or 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 are a scorning response to that proposal that he'll hawkins' reports now on the current relations between afghanistan and the taliban the three month cease fire proposed by president ghani 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 but a ring to it than war on terror regardless the taliban are firmly rejected it instead continuing a countrywide military offensive. i

saw my friend dying he was among thirteen people including children and women who were killed during an arab street last night and there is no attention from the government no facilities for the residents dead bodies are still in the room. and i've also been in your. 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. this way between a military solution and negotiations with the taliban was such a 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 taliban that the only pair of peace and political legitimacy for them is through

a negotiated settlement the taliban trimble's as a hero to give you the video of him if you the boy before the call for the taliban when their choices are to reconcile live in 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 . yes downer was going through there the taliban the afghan government are scheduled to meet for talks in moscow in a few weeks' time the russian foreign minister confirmed plans for the meeting and said reactions been encouraging from both sides but we have never hidden our contacts with the taliban they are

a part of afghan society contacts are aimed at 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 for where we invited afghanistan and then neighbors in the region and the usa to start negotiations with foreign support but this is another so it takes place in early september with the taliban and the afghan government both invited was the first reaction was positive planning to take part in the meeting we hope it will be productive. sergey lavrov for we discussed the prospects of the talks between the taliban and the afghan government with investigative journalist nicholas davis political analyst intisar candy. the afghan government just recently endorsed the crucial rule by the us other superpowers in the region in russia of course is one of the strongest country russia and a pivotal role 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 mediating dollar bond will be also invited the afghan government could be also a participant of the conference so there could be some more progress is in afghanistan because the different the negotiation in the introduction between the afghan government and taliban is just under 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 cannabis farms on child slavery in the british

you know world of big partisan movies. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the bad and 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 for watching closely watching the hawks. let's start back in the middle east where the syrian army is gearing up for an offensive on the last major rebel stronghold into that the battle for the enclave marks the final stage of the syrian war if assad forces manage to retake it it will

bring almost the entire country back on government control however ahead of become pain many western media outlets have been doubling down on the nora to vote against the mosque is with some saying the forces are certain to inflict heavy civilian casualties the same media though fails to mention the enclave is under control of jihadi groups accused of war crimes going through that no forests. 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 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. 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 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 bob it seems

hundred children have been killed in the east in rebel held area of aleppo mill your seat in the battle districts of rebel held east and that 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. 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 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. and. we have to we. we.

are always going why legal regime again we. enjoy killing. a child because this is the ocean accompli we have. all right let's turn our attention now to the u.k. where there are concerns that large numbers of child slave traffic from vietnam and china could be working on cannabis farms in london it comes as figures disclosed under a freedom of information request show the scale 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. 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 sixth in until april this year and of course 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 however experts are continuing to say that large numbers of children and teens from countries like vietnam and other places are trafficked to work out of 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 containers 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. we will move the most prominent figures in the me to movement against harassment has not been accused of sexual assault herself to tell you no actress or gentoo is being sued by a former colleague who claims she abused him when he was seventeen or. picks up the story. a star in dozens of movies director author and music contributor to
