i don't get those little. ship them out of them out so out of the model of. oh. yeah that was out of my with them yeah markets by the. i think so you're from after. all if you film in the loop. and with the.

party's video agency ruptly obtained footage of residents province in afghanistan protesting against the constant bombings by coalition and afghan forces. in the u.k. it's revealed that the terrorists who killed five people in last year's westminster bridge had been known to security services as a potential threat over a decade before the atrocity also to come. this is quite a gathering. a lot of people. a lot of media. donald trump continues to make this time eighty one minute news conference on the sidelines of the u.n. general assembly where he kept insisting that america's hard line approach to iran will wind through. doesn't matter what world leaders think going to run

a ranch going to come back to me they're going to make the deal. trump also turns its attention to beijing accusing it of meddling in the upcoming u.s. midterm elections. it's eight o'clock and you're watching international live from almost a studio with me in a day or two to welcome to the program we have received a video of angry crowds who gathered in the afghan city of crews on wednesday protesting against coalition and afghan to strikes at least twenty four people have been killed in separate attacks in afghanistan in the last five days alone with more than haul for the victims children. shot yours down in a show of a. dutch uppercut are not at the moment and it just means she's more mature.

but how much leverage does but but passion i'm going to let the judge just said that i should cut. the terms of make up for the mom daughter to fight or call him and talk to joe millionaire because you know when they're given the choice of a. small margin out of their. share you don't you just want to mars. just your kids destroy your physical don't because john just you know newt's got us into this is there still is a certain standard you are good. to do wrong with orders isn't going to do the i'm going to let you go on the right you demonstrators chanted against afghan and u.s. led forces blaming them for the deaths they carried that that bodies of their relatives to the provincial capital as part of the protests. michel a common theme would be that did this shows that they will manage not to the to this government. these are just over the weekend all these resources you know different shades down. this is not the first time the targets of the would serve

your time this happened the world government opposition to a specific aggressor solution. due to the stand the quality of saddam or the government. can do two governments manage this issue this family lost four members three were also going to die right before your cameras can see the markets and understand the situation is like you. following the attacks the u.n. mission has raised the alarm over the rising number of civilian casualties from a strikes it adds that women and children make up the majority of victims. are reports these protests come after what has been a particularly bloody week in afghanistan over the weekend twenty one civilians were killed in strikes in one case twelve members of the same family were killed and another ten children between the ages of six and fifteen were also killed the third strike of the week came on tuesday when three people were killed in can do is

province according to the u.n. in the first six months of two thousand and eighteen as strikes one hundred forty nine civilians and injured two hundred and if we compare that to the same period last year that's a fifty two percent increase and afghan forces may be thinking that using more air power is the best mode of action for them but it really is bad news for civilians who are coming under the constant threat of shelling in recent weeks there have been as many as two dozen strikes a day the u.n. in its statement released on tuesday said that the data that the u.s. and the afghan coalition are using for this strikes is just to very well earlier today we heard from the russian foreign ministry which released a statement taking a similar tone to that u.n. statement also raising concern over the increasing number of civilian deaths is an extract from that statement we were outraged that the iranian. breaks of nato

forces in this country are already almost an everyday reality moreover no one is responsible for this we consider the current situation a consequence of the groove miscalculations of us all storage fees in afghanistan and the iran years of the white house on a military solution to the problems of the country but in the meantime there's also been comments from the us side says grant's nearly the spokesperson for u.s. forces in afghanistan has said that they were viewing all operational relevant and credible information regarding operations and also perhaps an attempt to reassure civilians in afghanistan said that we take more care to avoid civilian casualties than anyone else. last month russian invited the afghan government and the taliban for multilateral peace talks in moscow the taleban agreed but the government put it on hold the meeting is still expected to go ahead before the end of the year earlier we spoke with the russian presidential envoy to afghanistan about what

impact the talks could have on the country. it is now time to act and to move from statements to real steps well organizing these peace talks in moscow a major task is to create an atmosphere that will lead to bilateral talks between the afghan government and the taliban. now after two days of fractious meetings at the united nations donald trump held a solo news conference on wednesday night some media called it contradictory and self-centered all in all trying for four months at the u.n. to have sparked quite a reaction this is quite a gathering. so a lot of people. were out of media. mergers. didn't expect their reaction but.

they loved honesty and it's not diplomatic and they find it funny. let me tell you all day yesterday they walked over themselves to get a picture of how to talk about how great the speech was how strong it was whether she said good things about them or not they love that he's honest with that and they were only if they were living with me we had fun. at the news conference trump attacked old enemies like china and iran but he also talked about syria and the success achieved there. as well. if syria is on the road to peace that is mostly because of donald trump's own efforts at least that's the way the president sees it i put out on social media and elsewhere i gave my pump a zero john bolton everybody these orders. don't let it happen i said

don't let it happen. that doesn't mean they can't be selective they can't be you know go in they've got to do what they've got to do with terrorists assume the terrorists but don't kill millions of people. and it stuck to you so it was quite surprising to hear the president repeat the words thank you to syria iran and russia for putting the offensive all halt but whatever else the president mentioned the word iran it was nothing pleasant to say the least very strong language and also at the press conference mr trump continued to bash the iran nuclear deal very hard we know that pretty much the rest of the world disagrees with the american leader on that but during his speech mr trump made it clear that he doesn't really get bothered by that this week you put out

a call to action to other countries to rally with america to put pressure on iran rouhani still calling for the u.s. to come back into the old deal but after meeting with world leaders this week did you make any progress towards a potential new deal does it matter what world leaders think going to run iran's going to come back to me are they going to make good do you and that's even after president trump's first ever chairmanship of the u.n. security council where he can't have misheard an entire round table of other world leaders and government ministers i ask all members of the security council to work with the united states to ensure the arabian regime changes its behavior deep great's the united states unilaterally withdraw from the agreement a decision with far reaching consequences that makes more honestly when you get it to live you categorically condemns. the lateral actions imposed by the government

of the us against iran. might be we agree with u.s. presidents objectives on iran but we disagree with the methods for achieving them iran is abiding by its commitments under the deal it remains the best means of preventing iran developing a nuclear weapon this is something that we are actively working on together with china iran and the e.u. . the e.u. and the us have found themselves in a fresh over iran in recent days on monday brussels foreign policy chief announced your will work with russia and china to create special payment channels to tehran bypassing u.s. sanctions on washington clearly wasn't happy. the european union has this so wrong and it's all because of their ego and their pride. and their small graining who helped. get this deal together she's trying to hold a deal together because she did it but she's not looking out for the best interests of the european countries who number one don't want to do business with iran the

reason that she's attacking based on ego and pride is because she's deflecting the fact that the united states has had nothing but ego and pride when it comes to the way in which we're mishandling trade deals mishandling the way we treat other countries what the u.s. should be doing right now is actually trying to go in that direction which is to open up trade with other countries let american culture spread would businesses and consumers in other countries learn more about the way we think and the way we are the ideas of america the ideas of freedom freedom of the present liberalism these are great ideas but we're not going to spread them by cutting ourselves off and there is nothing more arrogant nothing more foolish nothing more counterproductive to cutting ourselves off cutting our ideas off from the rest of the world as part of washington's means against iran the u.s. national security adviser demand that the independence with payment system on its banks around the world rely stops business with the country but john bolton's comments on the american stance against tehran were quick to provoke

a reaction. banks and financial messaging services such as swift must take a good hard look at their business with iran and ask themselves whether it is worth the risk we do not intend to allow our sanctions to be of aided by europe or anybody else. it cannot be accepted that the united states would decide with which world regions european companies can trade and where they can develop economic activity much as he saw i'm sensitive to present trends comments on the rise of oil prices but i think if people are a story to its conclusion you'll realize that it would be good for oil prices that iran be able to sell economist an independent investment fund manager. with the may end up. cutting ties with iran who has just put a lot of pressure on medicare just so swift might do that we don't know but the cost the us has had a very you know that's for

a very aggressive policy of sanctions so swift will listen to the us has put a lot of pressure on various issues and it has used the sanctions with the economic stuff and more aggressively even against the european companies against this companies and this is really. put a lot of tensions on european companies and especially since the financial crisis so at some point my to a cup and say this is too much i mean we have to go or own way and we have to find strike a new balance. during the session and vented his anger against china accusing it of meddling in the upcoming us mid-term elections but as i. explained such claims have been heard before. in fashion the talent two does own his design is bread and butter in political fashion donald trump markets him self as chief. and it looks like russia is going out of style not once was it mentioned in trump's un speech

regrettably we found that china has been attempting to interfere in our upcoming twenty eight. election coming up in november. against my administration they do not want me or us to win because i am the first president ever to challenge china on trade washington's needlework has already retailing their agenda actions that china has taken undermine a rules based order unfair trade practices particularly by china the chinese are very active we can watch very focused efforts to steal american information while china we here at the know what it's like to be showcased in the window of the white house political boutique first things first accusations of election meddling are still in vogue so make no mistake what used to be russian hackers and the

presidential vote in twenty sixteen giving way to chinese hackers and the mid-term ballot this season from its continued hacking of our defense secrets to its focus on collecting vast repositories of personal personnel to finding information to better unable to vote is china exploits our transparency and open society china is also being introduced to the concept of sanctions being thrown in the same basket with moscow over beijing's purchase of russian weapons in this narrative the trade war waged by the us on china fits like a glove after all the purpose is the same to hurt and nation's economy our trade imbalance is just not acceptable china is market distortions. and the way the deal. cannot be tolerated when it comes to pushing an independent foreign policy china and russia cut from the same cloth this trend is also propelling

beijing to the top of the u.s. diplomatic kill list we do want it to her very closely what appears to be an effort to expand their influence beyond their own region in places like africa latin america the pacific islands. and we are concerned by some of the tactics that the hunt for chinese spies is in full swing too as if the land of the american dream has been rid of russia's agents and what seems to be a new fad in this china dominated collection military rivalry taiwan is a breakaway province from beijing's standpoint while from washington's it's a lucrative arms export opportunity no wonder the massive new us three hundred and thirty million dollar weapons deal with taiwan fell flat with china washington is definitely afraid the china is in the passingly many economists are predicting that

sooner rather than later china will have a larger economy than that of the united states of america that from washington's point of view presents an accidental crisis for the united states of america likewise you see there are states trying to recruit other nations into its china cobol particularly japan australia and india this is a very combustible situation so it appears like russia is indeed stepping aside this fall winter season replaced by china in pretty much every dimension or do you know the boogieman dress is one size fits all. now in the u.k. it's come to light that the terrorist behind last year's westminster time had been identified as a threat by british security services and to be taken off the list five years before he carried out the crime in march twenty seventh. from the call into

pedestrians killing four and then he stopped and the officer. on the cia has been following the official inquest into the case and inquiry into the westminster talk of march twenty second of last year where six people including the perpetrator died and dozens were injured has now revealed that the attacker fifty two year old believed masood had apparently been on the radar of u.k. security services dating as far back as two thousand and four now by twenty ten he was linked to al qaeda training in pakistan and had been identified as a threat to national security this is according to a senior m i filed for officer who was testifying in court here in the u.k. this week presented only as witness al to protect the officer's identity he said that must suit had been given a holding code identifying him as a threat to national security but was later downgraded that same year by december

twenty ten to quote an individual who may be of interest to national security and then by twenty twelve this man who lead masood was already characterized as a quote closed subject of interest and remained that way until the attack in march last year and according to this m i five officer who was speaking in court as part of this investigation he said that gazans of people were monitored by u.k. security services at the time and terrorist threats at the time was unprecedented so he says the actions of officials were quick. glos masood as a person of interest with the benefit of hindsight and we conclude the decision was sound it was logical necessary and proportionate to consider him a good well according to this officer he also pretty much confirmed that there is always a danger of somebody slipping through during those hearings and that there's there's

always going to be a chance that somebody might get through and of course this is far from the first time that concerns about people slipping through the net when it comes to such terror attacks and not of course just here but also in europe come to the forefront when it does get revealed that officials had known something about those people involved but somehow failed to stop them from carrying out those attacks. u.s. news that web site the daily beast seems to be suggesting that the russian foreign ministry itself has now turned into a troll factory is new report claims that it has upgrading its suppose it trolling bot campaign by using the twitter accounts of its diplomats and embassies the daily beast insists that the ministry is trying to confuse the public by blending the truth with multiple competing narratives.

the article singles out one particular russian till the contest for the most ironic post about russia's relations with the west here you can see the winning pick. on

boris johnson following his anger at the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman for being invited to the house of commons we discussed the story with columnist and author ted rall. united states government does this all the time u.s. government officials make jokes all the time the president of the united states uses social media extremely effectively and makes lots of jokes on it in fact he probably would not be president if he hadn't used twitter extremely effectively so it's mystifying why anyone would say that this is somehow inappropriate the united states has it i've even seen jokes about things that are pretty grim for example the department of defense twitter account has made jokes about drone strikes and weapons that civilians in afghanistan and elsewhere those are pretty tasteless jokes so i guess you could say that a terribly tasteless joke might be something that would cross the line but jokes

themselves or why not they're an important part of dialogue. that all of this does it only gets lost when we got to that he called me over. it would you. move the bat.

just it's just still it's a big city. just chillin. with no make manufacture to send to the public well. when there are pluses and protect himself. in the final merry go round the seventy one percent. making all the middle of the road sick.

welcome to the alex salmond show and to our look at the party conference season through the eyes of those who are well placed to take an overview of the great issues affecting their parties next week the tories gathered in birmingham and yet again you don't threatens to split the party asunder but is it a voice from the party's past who can point the way to the future first of course to your tweets emails and messages to have had a great response to our show last week on the idea of a centrist party surely says former politicians by party discussing

a new center party was helpful to knowing u.k. future post bricks it don't know says new party in same system is just another political gravy train was probably went to sovereign over. folk time scotland pushed for independence again to skate this quagmire the dream is alive and walking five hundred miles and finally jacqueline says i would be interested in a u.k. center party less all efforts for scottish independence feel in that case a u.k. center parcs would be a great idea i would support a center party hypothetically and scotland the night of the tory party in birmingham back in the politics of the one nine hundred eighty s. and ninety's which i believe a member of course but alex is very much a part of one movement dominated and divided the country the prime minister margaret thatcher but then the second best known politician was the public more famous even than the leader of the opposition was a minister for health education a cardi although

a huge admirer of market that edwina still stood firmly on the pro european site and the tory splits of the one nine hundred ninety s. her ministerial career was cut short by raging controversy from an unexpected direction salmonella in a production but her public role then blossomed into a big three two on television once described as a woman with a brass neck a silver tongue and a golden pay to ever live lead to some typically straight talking for those who seek to head it to the twenty crying from two b.'s and me alex caught up with her and her dog are sure home. really. in the late eighty's and ninety's you were the second best known politician in the country and the second best known woman poetess in the country second little margaret thatcher the let's see a young kid with mccullough who was going to the conserve the clothes and birmingham city you know very well what speech would you be making

a boat about europe this week what would you be saying to the party. at the speech i was making there was about police. system margin you were speaking about your march twenty ninth we are officially out of the e.u. and i don't think there's any going back on that and i'm hopeful and now i'm optimistic that in fact the trade deals we do with the rest of the world will be very very successful europe itself has turned out quite protectionist so you have pre-trained within the four hundred million but you haven't got much in the way every trade with the outside world doesn't stop germany doing lots of deals of term it doesn't stop us doing lots of deals with china but we are much more likely to do all of this and to be upfront about it you know better to have. the. law told me a few weeks ago when the show is so overwhelmed with all these new deals he says you don't give up the ones you've got or you're doing them is not the logic of the

of course this or that but the logic in that and i do wish you'd go and tell people brussels alex with your powers of persuasion you would make a cracking good job i want you to pin michel barnier to the wall and saying a best broke whatever is the local dialect that is being an idiot because what he's doing is disadvantage ing the rest of europe who has a french goal was stirred by but generally speaking it opened them to the wall very much as well as i remember friends go is that this whole argument you lived through as a parliamentarian that the mastic debates as i did. tearing the conservative government apart in the one nine hundred ninety s. do you see the same thing happening again with the reason is government you see the same extraordinary but on this and the version over over you it's a strange world to be in i went to a lunch that turd tricom very smart address not long ago.
