are broadcasting live from our studios most of this is national shantung certainly glad to have you with us. well after seventeen years of war in afghanistan the u.s. has once again hinted it is open to peace talks with the islamic fundamentalist group the taliban however most militants do not seem willing to accept the offer especially considering the increasing control the group is exerting on the ground r.t. managed to get access to a taliban militant commander and raised 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 go 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 taliban that the only path to peace and political legitimacy for them is through a negotiated settlement for the taliban when their choices are to reconcile live in

a relevance. 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 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. as. seen in any dust over the shall we all these was you cannot differentiate between dollars and going to since you would disk is not the first on the top of the sibelius. time is still under the. part.

of the world. that. america's 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 if 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 has 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 southwestern iranian city of riff a notion that explains the story behind your bronze revenge strike in syria. under the cover of night fall iran fired several ballistic missiles at what it has described as terrorist had quarters in eastern syria and says successfully with a large number of militants killed and infrastructure destroyed are in fierce disappeared 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 behind 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. resolution must we suddenly 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 given 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 terrorist sponsors and their us masters in countable for such attacks needs to do with a need to look at his own home base he can blame us all i want the thing he's got to do is look at the mare a u.s. official who has recently said terrible things about the r.v. as a terrorist attack and held the iranian government responsible for the 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 each other's role this latest strike is gripping the conflict in great attentions and apprehension of where this could go next. our

history and international relations professor jamal wakim thinks the situation is intensifying due to moves to limit iranian influence in the region. the strike by itself was another dimension or a another significance using this ballistic missile of eight hundred kilometers range it's like an iranian message to the countries that all of the sea cities are within its reach the whole region is witnessing that aizen that then sion specially 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 north korean leader kim jong un. 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 jim and kim my personal correspondence magnificent very strong letter form incredible letters a letter that i gave 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. the perception that sanctions can bring us to our knees is a pipe dream of people who are ignorant about this 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 never the us the to put aside their differences and have a magical time in singapore.

thank you. and well team trump years 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 the warming relationship could this spell trouble in paradise for trump . british campaigners are again ramping up claims of russian meddling in the bronx at referendum and demanding an independent probe but the

latest call for an investigation into the two thousand and sixteen vote has drawn plenty of criticism there's artie's honest to see if you're going to with the details from 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 in a pretty. to the u.k. government has quoted irregular and unlawful conduct and among their concerns have been named russian dissin from asian 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 thousand nine hundred ninety two thousand and four basically say he sees no russian meddling in bragg'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 result in the electoral college i don't think i've not seen anything like convinces me at all the russians intervene significantly in the brics or friend 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 brag that unlike 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 that so i pledge to do everything that i can to make sure that we have a proper brax it. with all of these conundrums that the u.k. is now faced 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 though 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 poems and more schools game. this takes a box unfortunately of the rampant russophobia. has reached a 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 in the eyes of this liberal establishment the rise of donald trump and his election in the us and twenty sixteen drinks in twenty sixty and this shows you the extent to which the establishment the liberal establishment will have media and political is an utter and utter and absolute crisis. after months of uncertainty president trump says a trade pact has at last been reached between the u.s. and canada and mexico trump has hailed of the agreement as the biggest trade deal in u.s. history but the announcement was overshadowed by sexual misconduct allegations against his supreme court nominee broad cabinet are just american as the story. it was trumps the big day as he unveiled a new deal with canada and mexico that's supposed to replace nafta and if you

remember he once called nafta the worst deal ever but terms replacement deal is apparently a historic transaction truly historic good news this will be a new dawn this landmark agreement an incredible new this new deal will be the most modern up to date and balanced trade agreement in the history of our country the deal which took over a year. to negotiate is called the united states mexico canada agreement and it will apparently solve all of the problems with nafta as in it will open markets to farmers and manufacturers and reduce trade barriers but during his campaign trump had promised to either renegotiate nafta or break it so this new deal fulfills that promise but all throughout the day tribes been talking about the deal even announcing a press conference to further discuss it but at the press conference journalist weren't concerned about the deal they were really interested in the capital case and to remind the viewers tabun as a supreme court nominee who was accused of sexual harassment brett kavanaugh fools

is there a plan b. i have two questions about judge cavanagh if this weekend mr president you said that it's incorrect to say you're limiting the scope of the f.b.i. investigation what does that have to do is try to i don't mind answering the question but you know what i'd like to do the trade has to do with the other headline in the news which is the candidate and i know but how about talking about trade and then we'll get to that you have a question of dread will you wonder two more questions later and several question if you don't do that that's not mr president judge if somebody is before you excuse me don't do that you have a question on trade you answered several question you have a question on trade my question is on judge at least some have even said the tribes moment was stolen from him so an important development in economic policy was that once again overshadowed by the latest liberal scandal of the moment and it doesn't look like it'll stop any time soon. or the ninety palestinians were wounded by israeli gunfire during clashes in the west bank and gaza according to the palestinian health ministry palestinian activists used fifty fishing boats in an

attempt to reach israel by sea they were protesting the twelve year long blockade of gaza the protests were also aimed at israel's controversial nation state law which. makes them second class citizens as well as trump's u.s. embassy to jerusalem israel defends its action on the gaza border saying it is defending itself from violent protesters and the militant. group hamas a general strike also took place on monday across the region on the anniversary of a riot back in two thousand that saw thirteen israeli arabs killed by police. we do have a special report on how palestinian resistance is channeled not only through demonstrations but also art as well you can watch it in full online at r.t. dot com here's a look at their struggle. now. and you know.

he had. the disaster he. has the. look of it yeah. he would have been too close to fifteen hundred. shots in one days while he says my it's very studious home which there's truth to use those of us wow do you want you to those who don't think. i don't but it's good of me. out of that the must go on loving somebody. missed us that is. the logic of that of the sad. thing they're going to say. and. the ethical. maverick have signed with. him to. that we did it to show the world that we can make anything that can make it

is that. they who come from a shot of course about. the devastation of the amount of trouble for months that's not what's on the bar this was your son i'm going to tell you just sometimes a closed. i was a housekeeper. when my county. ok yard. let's look at what are they over and see what he said look at who does. the british defense secretary gavin million senate has 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 normal. next year there has been dispute for decades over territorial claims at the planet's most northern point and over untapped natural resources under the sea bed the british defense ministry says the

arctic and high north are now crucial to the country's security. nv antic in high north russia is increasing their military presence to deal with this we will be launching our new defense arctic strategy beyond the high north an art we must be ready ready to deal with the threats as they emerge the new defense arctic strategy will put the arctic in high north central to the security of the united kingdom britain has got nor will we're just a mcqueen no whatsoever so what we're doing putting eight 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 the 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 on the media

yesterday and said that britain would win a naval war with russia firstly what it all is 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 a 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 the conservative party conference secondly it's a boat the continued expansion of nato forces are on the borders of the former sign and into the former soviet union. and unprecedented court case in the u.k. could prove to be historic for the rights of trans gender preference in the country . the center of the legal battle is a parent who was biologically able to become pregnant but at the time of the

child's birth was legally a man he wants to be identified as the father or parent and says that not being allowed to do so violates the human right to privacy and family life british law states however that he must appear as the biological mother on the birth certificate and that is preventing him from receiving child benefits he spoke to human rights activist peter tatchell and political commentator david vance to give their views on the issue. the question this case raises is who should be on the birth certificate shouldn't necessarily be a mother or father or could it just be a parent i would think that it's not really important for legal reasons or any other practical reason why has to be a mother peter just said this let's remove mother from the birth certificate and replace it with something more more nonspecific such as parent but mothers give

birth the kids sorry spoiler alert that's how it's been that's how it's always going to be and no one minds of debate are going to change the biological fact why why not just be make a reasonable accommodation in the small number of cases to acknowledge this person of the parents of the child will know that this person is their parent legally as well as in reality this child would become the first child in the history of this country on a bi believe anywhere else on their birth certificate the word mother is missing so just consider this for a moment can you imagine the cycle arm psychological damage that this would impact that child you know the child will probably find it different and unusual but as we have seen with same sex parents children get a handle on things pretty quickly love is about you know a parent's commitment and care for a child. what's on the birth certificate really doesn't affect that love and

commitment in those instance that you that you've mentioned same sex couples regardless of the configuration the child was always born to a woman simple biological fact you know what i mean that's not being judgmental it's being it's being it's a fine dish in the fact that we must not be we must not run away from just because it might hurt some people's feelings there have been some. trans men in a similar situation have given birth and they have accepted that they should be named as the mother so this case is unique and is different but i think the number of instances that will be involved in a similar circumstance is so so tiny we should not get hot heads up about us and we should just make the accommodation but i. get your peter peter the law is not based on on exceptions the law must apply to all you just can't operate it the way that

you'd like to so the fact of the matter is that this child was born to a woman and there for the birth certificate should reasonably reflect that reality . efforts by french president emanuel macron to portray himself as a man of the people have long been ridiculed by critics and a recent photo from a trip to the caribbean has fired them up once again the president is seen posing with someone making an obscene hand gesture. we can't even find words to express our indignation we can tolerate it's unforgivable there's almost nothing left those shreds of dignity that got lost in

the night of the bill gertz. that let you know that. the members of the don't know it's a big of a joke really little but i'm. going to. get. 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 me maneuver on the other the presidency is implicitly undermining. this is showing that he there 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 good 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. or that does it for me i'll be back in thirty two minutes of the fall of the chinese attraction. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic developments only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.

this is. the church secret indeed priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it literally i like to call this the geographic 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 system to that of that's known as the i intend that i included use this out in. this. case both.

but. this is bombast broadcasting around the world and covering the world of business and finance and the empire. the pawn you welcome aboard i'm bart chilton we are boom bust to get out from boston massachusetts from the boston city hall right behind me at the forbes under thirty summit we're full of action full of excitement and a lot of great stuff coming to you right now.
