taking action across spain this break where rage of the crisis still in the still. by the just turned four pm here in moscow life in the arctic new center is kevin i am with you for this thirty minute news update top of the news feed this hour then after seventeen years of war in afghanistan the u.s. has once again hinted it's open to peace talks with the taliban widely considered as a terrorist organization however it doesn't seem that the militants themselves are willing to accept the offer especially considering the increasing control the groups exerting on the ground no days he was granted rare access to taliban militant command and raised the subject direct. the americans never want to cooperate with the taliban and the taliban has never asked the americans again to cooperate against the islamic state the americans are bombing us while we fight

against isis. the latest just of direct talks between the taliban and washington came from the u.s. state department on friday. this is ministration has made it clear that it is prepared to engage with and participate in the go she is with both the taliban and the afghan government. the leadership of the taliban doesn't want to negotiate with the americans and has never wanted this and the leadership of taliban never gave permission to any member to negotiate on their behalf u.s. defense secretary james mattis just had a meet and greet with the afghan president in kabul they finally decided to play nice in a bid to get the taliban down to talks but just one day before their words of peace washington dropped a big f. thirty five b. bomb on the taliban looks like the peace process is getting off on the right foot especially when the u.s. has for years led up to this moment promising both talk and terror i want to reinforce to the child up in the only path to peace and political legitimacy for

them is through a negotiated settlement to the taliban when their choices are to reconcile live in a relevant. you have the taleban 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 so it's no surprise the taliban is reluctant to trust promises of peace and why would they seek it anyway in the past several months the taliban has made substantial territorial gains their spring offensive took coalition forces completely off guard seizing regions all over afghanistan over one hundred soldiers and police officers were killed in just one week of the offensive and that's not even counting last week's un report covering civilian casualties in battles between the coalition and taliban forces. and as you've.

seen in any just over the show all these was you'll see so you can no differentiate between dollars and going to since new industry is not the first time the going to do this at the earliest. time. for them. to get over. that. they're going to. america's two thousand one invasion of afghanistan hoped to oust the taliban from power but what materialized it was a seventeen year long war the longest conflict in the us history and now fast approaching are monumental peace talks to be held in moscow between the taliban and the afghan government but if we can confirm that we will attend the moscow conference we are waiting for the date and agenda then we will decide what can be achieved from the conference if successful these talks could mark

a step forward in a conflict that currently has no end in sight donald quarter r.t. . around says it's launched a ballistic missile attack on a location in eastern syria the revolutionary guard claims it targeted the militant group responsible for last month's terrorist attack which hit a military parade and killed twenty five in the southwestern iranian city of. discuss the details of the roof and. we hear from the iranian islamic revolutionary guard which is the country's elite military force that has hade certain targets in syria that they claim are quote headquarters of the terrorists iran claims that the militants operate in that particular area. of the youth rate is are responsible for last month's deadly attack ordered to information from various sources this could be the region north all over the city of. syria not far from the iraqi border it's also not far from the city of has seen known as the last

stronghold of the so-called islamic state militants in the region and we do not know about the casualties but we hear from the official teheran that the launch was successful as again quote a large number of the attackers what's hit so briefly the catalyst for this was the shooting the government shooting those people just last week yeah it was a very tragic event actually four and happened more than a week ago september twenty second to be exact during a military parade in iran a southwestern c.t. of. that parade was part of nationwide celebrations to mark the thirtieth anniversary of the end of iran iraqi eight year long war. era. we suddenly realised armed people wearing freak military outfits were attacking their comrades from behind the stage and then opened fire on women and

children they were just aimlessly shooting around without a specific. and you didn't really see that. says the four terrorists who brought their guns to the area and hitting them several days ago on the cover is civilians to watch the parade then they went and picked up their guns and opened fire on people. this is the deadliest attack in iran in the last eighteen years to hear an accused the u.s. and particulary ettes allies among arab countries such as saudi arabia and the united arab emirates of providing the attackers with finances with weaponry washington tonight all the allegations so it's quite tense again in that region is true in international relations for us general working things the situations intensify because of moves to limit the rate influence in the region the strike by

itself has another dimension or another significance using this ballistic missile of eight hundred kilometers range it's like an iranian message to the just to see countries all of the you see cities within its reach the whole region is witnessing the rise in the tension especially that the united states is trying to neutralize the iranians block them from having any influence in the region western of the. freighters. after a roller coaster on off to promote relationship donald trump's open he professed his affection for the north korean leader kim jong il. i was really being tough and so wishing i would go back and forth and then we fell in love ok no really he wrote me beautiful letters and they're great letters that was trying talking to

supporters over the weekend describing how he and cam have gone from it's complicated to in a relationship a tale as old as time isn't it too volatile world leaders separated by thousands of kilometers first of each other's throats then over time and numerous heartfelt letters magic happens so i've received two letters from. my personal correspondence magnificent very strong letter form incredible letters letters save one i showed one of the letters just to prime minister b. he said this is actually a groundbreaking letter so against all odds they're in love at least according to trump but the relationship isn't without its problems now is not the time to ease pressure verify denuclearization of north korean until such time as that occurs the economic sanctions the sanctions been put in place by the united nations security council will remain in place leaving one side or trust issues to the

two general the perception that sanctions can bring us to our knees is a pipe dream of people who are ignorant about us but the problem is that they continue sanctions deepening our mistrust. but all hope may not be lost a second summit between the pair is still on the table but make no mistake about it there is real progress being made and we're going to continue to work at it and until the point in time where as the president says it we could be wrong it may not happen but until such time as we conclude we can't get this done we're going to continue to drive to achieve the progress continue the progress which we've already made but let's not forget how difficult getting that first date was well summit that is nevertheless the to put aside their differences and have a magical time in singapore.

thank you. and well team trump year for more the north i could be straying kim has already met with his south korean counterpart three times and to add salt to that one president man with a pair of north korean hunting dogs by p.n. yang as a symbol of their warming relationship could this spell trouble in paradise for trump. independence campaign is a big block in l.a. today major motorways railway lines across the rest of spanish region of catalonia today marks a year since independence referendum that was branded illegal at the time by madrid's delays hundreds of clashed with local police in cattle and in the. protesters of making their way to the train station right on top of the roadblocks

in the region's capital barcelona to the. so that a year on from the bid to succeed from spain the region of catalonia still remains in stalemate artie's view the culture never reports. a year after cats linus failed attempt to break away from spain the situation in the region remains deadlocked back than madrid called the referendum on independence illegal and refused to acknowledge it as a result of police crackdown on demonstrators left hundreds of people injured on the anniversary there are similar violent scenes on the streets of catalan as capital.

and it read to seize on the biggest constitutional crisis and the country for decades and if twelve or twenty seventeen madrid to control of catalan government and put eight of the deposed members in jail and the oust catalan leader of fled the country to belgium with an international arrest warrant on his hat the spanish government dissolved the catalan parliament to control of local police forces and called for snap elections this measure we go to implement has a lot to do with the goal of holding an election in catalonia the region will have to hold an election within six months the minds engineers to hold it as soon as we recover but that didn't bring the relief madrid had hoped for and stats kathlyn poor independence party has held their absolute majority in the vote and put in power a hardline separatist leader bringing an end to seven months of direct rule from a treat and june this year spain welcomed its own new prime minister who adopted

a softer tone towards cattle on air and offered the fresh start to negotiations on its status the catalan leader wasn't so flexible and insisted only on holding it legally binding referendum on independence the issue of the independence remains. divisive in the region with pool suggesting capped loans are almost evenly split on whether to stay part of spain. the truth is that many people feel disappointed because they thought everything was heading towards the final goal of independence yet despite some people feeling tired many of us are determined to continue forward . we will continue to fight for independence despite all the many difficulties we'll do day by day. i'm very much against it now is not the time for cattle on it to become independent for me it would be better to leave things as they are moving spain and we are spanish meaning now fear that failure to find common ground in catalonia would likely spill into and no other political crisis triggering another

snap election sometime in early twenty nineteen catalan independence is a saga that could yet have another anniversary next october first the protest movement would appear to be more or less as strong as it was last year however polls show that less than half of counsel and support independence and they are very divided indeed on how to achieve it because last year when push came to shove the international community did not recognize the lateral declaration so at the moment there's a lot of uncertainty there so apart from a lot of demonstrations the situation is pretty much the same as it was considered a father to us in terms of that one there now coming up for the day's news after a ninety second break.

that a petition. made it possible in this if god took the life of that instant civilians and by all means we can feel part of it even you know it all and. committing crime was this it is a national this is a lot of mistakes here as you mentioned and again also a lot of gruesome value. again

a very good line we've got to on for sure they'll just go one more question that i'm really keen to ask i'm sure of view is a keen to hear it as well these protests have gone on for a long time in the past despite what a lot of people are not an hour of got to say but nonetheless this new base is being proposed why are people in aachen i was so upset about u.s. military presence there in a nutshell brief as you can. doubtless believe. that well let's start with the o.p.'s very small. six percent or eighty of. them if you look at it so really yes but the government is not only of course she may argue we're going to leave it there we want the front of a chart be on the scenes in trying to get a slightly better line ok she may argue in our activists against sort of the
