in moscow i call him great pm monday night here in the russian capital and this is huge news this hour after seventeen years of war in afghanistan the u.s. has once again hinted that it's open to peace talks with the islamic fundamentalist group the taliban however it doesn't seem that the militants are that willing to accept the offer especially considering the increasing control that the groups exerting on the ground are to manage to get access to a taliban militant commander and arrange the subject over 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 suggestion 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 goshi asians 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 the 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 taliban that 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 to tell up on 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. on. the scene in any dust over the show all these was you cannot differentiate between dollars and going to cincinnati when disk is not the first time the dog or the civilians. time is still under the. eyes. of the world as. you know. that in the.

americas two thousand and 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 u.s. history and now fast approaching are monumental peace talks to be held in moscow between the taliban and the afghan government but the for the most well we can confirm that we will attend the mosco 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. . iran says it's conducted a ballistic missile attack on a location in eastern syria the revolutionary guard claims it targeted a militant group responsible for last month's terrorist attack which hit

a military parade and killed twenty five people in the southwest and ever a need to have a riff an option or explains the story behind iran's revenge strike in syria. under the cover of nightfall iran fired several ballistic missiles at what it has described as terrorist headquarters in eastern syria and says successfully with a large number of militants killed and infrastructure destroyed are in fierce to supreme to deliver a decisive from crushing response to any wickedness and mystery from our enemies the attack is believed to have hit north of at the syrian iraqi border not far from the city of hygiene considered the last islamic state stronghold in the region three weeks ago the u.s. led coalition valves to clear the area of an estimated two thousand militants though no reports suggest that has materialized as yet iran claims the stream is from that area abi hind last month's deadly attack on

a military parade in iran's the deadliest in eighty years saying the missile launch was a revenge strike. production most recently realized armed people wearing fake 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 target. for terrorists who had brought their guns to the area and hidden them several days ago on the cover as civilians to watch the parade then they went and picked up their guns and opened fire on people there was attack has once again flared up tensions between the u.s. and iran as teheran blames washington for facilitating the attack terrorists

recruited trained armed and prayed for a regime have attacked children in journeys. among casualties iran holds the regional to responses and their us masters in countable for such a tax needs to do with the need to look at his own home base he can blame us all we want that the thing he's got to do is look at the mare a u.s. official who has recently said terrible things about the are terrorist attack and held the iranian government responsible for that attack what would americans think if we were to say such a thing about the nine eleven terrorist attacks as players in the syria conflict look to limit the chargers role they slate to strike is gripping the conflict in great attentions and apprehension of where this could go next well history and international relations professor jamal wakim thinks the situation is intensifying too to moves to limit iranian influence in the region. 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 g.c.c. countries all of the you see cities within its reach the whole region is witnessing that eyes in the tension especially that the united states is trying to neutralize the iranians or block them from having any influence in the region western of the. freighters. after a roller coaster on off diplomatic relationship donald trump has openly professed his affection for a north korean leader kim jong un is really being tough and so wishing i will 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 kim 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 jimmy kim my personal correspondence magnificent very strong letter form incredible letters a letter that gave one i showed one of the letters. 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.

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 while summit that is nevertheless the to put aside their differences and have a magical time in singapore.

thank you. and well team trump earrings for more the norse 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 the warming relationship could this spell trouble in paradise for trump . british campaigners are again ramping up claims of russian meddling in the referendum and demanding an independent probe but the latest call for an investigation into the twenty sixteen votes also drawn plenty of criticism here's a nice to see it there with the details in london. well love these campaigners a fair vote u.k. are planning on bringing legal a legal challenge to the british government demanding a public inquiry in the end to into any potential meddling in the bronx that

referendum of twenty sixteen to the likes of the miller investigation in the us that was looking into any potential interference following trump's election there and this campaign group an appreciation letter to the u.k. government has quoted irregular and unlawful conduct and among their concerns have been named russian dissin for mission data companies involvement as well as electoral spending now this comes following theresa may having already said that such a public inquiry will not be taking place because the government understands that this is quote a thinly veiled attempt to overturn bracks it but to this we also have to add to that we've seen here in the u.k. the chief of secret intelligence service from one nine hundred ninety nine to two thousand and four basically say he sees no russian meddling in brock's it i'm pretty skeptical about whether they really intervened in the referendum in the case of the american elections i really think the impact was such as to change the

results in the electoral college i don't think i've not seen anything like convinces me at all that the russians intervene significantly in the brics or referendum well love this of course comes on the heels of bracks it on certainty not only has bracks a divided the u.k. on this matter but also create a division within the tory party government which of course has to be in charge of leading the way to bragg's it on like the prime minister on fought for this i believe in it i think it's the right thing for our country i think that what is happening now is alas not what people were promised in twenty sixteen. when the seventeen point four million people voted in that referendum they wanted to get control of our loss borders and money and open the opportunities of free trade deals around the world i'm afraid the checkers deal just simply does not deliver then so i pledge to do everything that i can to make sure that we have

a proper breck's it with all of these conundrums that the u.k. is now faced a way of in terms of bracks said it really remains to be seen whether campaign along the lines of blame the russians could really be the solution to all these problems go this is a grievous insult this be levelled at the british voting public the fact that seventy million people in war who voted for break set out a century been accused of being nothing more than pawns in more schools game. this takes a box unfortunately of the around ten lawsuits will be up. the level of a religious belief within the hearts of the british establishment that russia can no be blamed for everything that school wrong in the west whether it comes to the outrage of this liberal establishment the rise of donald trump because of action in the us into the sixteen drinks into the sixty and this should shoot the extent to

which the establishment the liberal establishment will have media and political is an utter and utter and absolute crisis. one hundred eighty thousand pro independent protesters have marched through the catalan capital of barcelona on the first anniversary of the independence referendum and branded a legal binding trade earlier on monday row blocks were set up in the city and busy traffic areas campaigners also blocked major motorways and railway lines across the rest of spanish region hundreds of clashed with local police in the city of drona protesters were making their way to the train station to barricade the. party's medina cotton of a report on the as they all made over catalonia one year on from the independence vote that rocked spain. a year after cattle on ian's 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 it told were 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 of the minds engineers to hold it as soon as we recover but that didn't bring the relief madrid had hoped for and stats catalan 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 and an offer of the fresh start to negotiations on its status the catalan leader wasn't so flexible and insisted only on holding a legally binding referendum on independence the issue of the independence remains divisive in the region. with poole suggesting capped loans are almost evenly split on whether to stay part of spain. this is 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 will be made the us 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 many now fear that failure to find common ground in catalonia would likely spill into any nother political crisis triggering another snap election sound time 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 constanza supports 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 as it was it was. thirty seven palestinians have been wounded by israeli gunfire during clashes in the west bank and gaza according to the palestinian health ministry a general strike took place on monday across the region on the anniversary of a riot back in two thousand that's all thirteen israeli arabs killed by police the protests were also against israel's controversial nation state law which palestinians say makes them second class citizens and also donald trump's u.s. embassy live to jerusalem now we'll be bringing you a special report on how palestinian resistance is channeled not only through demonstrations but also offer you'll be able to watch it in full here on r.t. international. all in a little over five minutes time or it's online any time you want on r t dot com but here's a quick look at the struggle. that. exactly

. has the. look of the year. we were able to close to fifteen hundred. in one day it's well he says a month it's pretty soon it's almost there's truth to those who go wow do you want you to believe you don't think. i do a bit of good. out of the want but i'm somebody you know how about no. mistrust that it's just. the luck of that a cone the sad. thing they're going to say. it's a little too. maverick have signed with those.

that we did it to show the world that we can make a funny thing that can make if die exactly what i mean you will come from a shot of most of the lot is. going to get a commission of the amount from uncle you're the one that we all saw in the bar who was your friend i'm going to tell you just from queens of course. i was from the how did you go on. the smokey who are they over a new facility set up a hold of them. and i programs here in about five minutes now israel defends its actions on the gaza border saying it's defending. cell from violent protesters and the militant group hamas. and the british defense secretary gavin williamson's unveiled a new strategy for the arctic calling russia the biggest threat to the region eight

hundred u.k. troops are due to be deployed to norway next year and there's been dispute for decades over territorial claims to the planet's northernmost point and also to the current untapped natural resources of the lie under the sea bed the british defense ministry says the arctic and high north are now crucial to the country's security in the arctic and high north russia is increasing their military presence to deal with this we will be launching our new defense arctic stress situation beyond the high north an ant we must be ready ready to deal with the threats as they emerge the new defense arctic strategy will put the arctic in high nor central to the security of the united kingdom has got nor will we just i'm a queen no whatsoever so what we're doing putting a hundred troops at some considerable expense in norway and all of the cheapest countries in the world so i don't quite get what is going on because it hundred troops is a drop in new ocean this is not a serious force if you're talking about

a conventional grown war goodness sake but you know that the atmosphere is weird that the commander of the new british super aircraft carrier came out in the media yesterday and said that britain would win a naval war with russia firstly what it all if there is no possibility of a naval war with russia secondly if there was a war with russia it wouldn't just be an evil war it would be a disaster so i've no idea what is going war attitude is that really you know this we should be stepping up the ante by talking all the time about this military threat from russia the idea that russia is about to launch a conventional war in the arctic which is all these commanders could be there for three hundred of them not enough to stop any serious operation is a bit mind boggling so i think firstly this is playing to the gallery of the conservative party conference secondly it's a boat the continued expansion. needful forces i rode on the borders of the former site and into the former soviet union. efforts by the french president emanuel mccrone to portray himself as

a man of the people have long been ridiculed by his critics and their recent photo from a trip to the caribbean has them fired up once again because the president seen posing with someone making an obscene hand gesture. we can't even find words to express our nation we can tolerate it's on forgivable there's almost nothing left those shreds of dignity that got lost in the night of bulgaria to. let you know. that the members of the on ice because you believe i don't. want. this move for the fifteen year old boy who was told off and

humiliated by micron because he didn't respect the presidency by calling him money on the one hand don't call maneuver on the other the presidency is implicitly undermined. this is showing that he is not a two faced this is the same a quote you just has a difficulties making a difference between the way he was six years ago what he really is and what he's supposed to be because he doesn't really know what i mean he's got no training for this and he just thinks he could continue being having the attitude of russia baker and to go out and have tried and then some he's going to take over his shoulder said don't forget that you're president of the french republic and his results after your half are not true at all he's got bad results concerning unemployment bad results concerning criminality immigration i mean all the indicators are read

practically at the same time he's going out doing selfies as if he was some sort of rock star and that's the news for now next as promised the art of resistance and the palestinians coping with the tough lives. and have your next update in about half an hour to c.n.n. . that a petition has made it possible is safeguarding the life of that innocent civilians and by all means we can be part of it even you know at all and even. committing a crime was the sec is the national along with the sec is a lot of ethics here as you mentioned and again also i was on some unfairly and.

this is. the church secret indeed catholic priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this to do graphic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot were the previous standards not the highest ranks of the catholic church help conceal the accused priests from the police and justice to us and to that end it has not been as the i and then i include at tuesday's out in. his faith. the way to the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants. cost the most to us first the word of sympathy i want to become lost and then turn

i want to last was understood by us but if many of them look for refuge in the so-called sentries sides the refuse to share information about undocumented migrants with. she's the best person to ask than. i get i'm in a lot of class and i want to. watch as the options to stay in the country with donald trump in the. most of those fifty what is the who to be that the. many couples. to which the pushkin put impulse response both of you have to deal with both of. you know world of big. lot 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 smarter we need to

stop slamming the door on the back 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. only this road that fifty meters in here is the thing between us and between the cement oh distills. that's a gas canister a gas canister here in the graveyard. believes it is in for coal fifteen tons it isn't. thought of. well this is my house me close we need. to realize wow i didn't mean to leave you wanted.

to tell you he's all knowing. if it's down to that you see it's. all the children like you are seeing here just going in there. i don't destroy. a lot of the want i'm somebody i know. and this is just. laughable that.
