those feeling the full force of democracy was a colleague of ours who received a painful souvenir. but still a round of applause from the new commander in chief for anyone choosing to be on the right side of history because causing unnecessary pain and suffering is nowhere near as normally ating as the sight of u.s. trucks going up in flames it seems we denounce my refusal to let humanitarian assistance reach venezuela what kind of a sick tyrant stops food from getting to hungry people the images of burning trucks filled with aid are sickening the misgivings and finger pointing over who might be

u.s. president north korean leader kim jong un vietnam this week second summit last summer they met in singapore in a speech last night said he had good relations with kim that he would not lift sanctions if pyongyang doesn't. perhaps it's still a bit too early to see a kim get together in washington or pyongyang so once again the organizers for somewhere neutral. you. move. just by looking at the. clear why chairman kim with. their own special connection. with the.
12:10 am
anyway with the hot i wrote spinning spruced up for the big event the real cam has already hit the road he chose to get to vietnam and brains were gone and his people looked thrilled to see him no wonder kim has given himself a nice long head start crossing all of china takes time when the leaders met for the first time just saying this. was enough to make the summit a real bombshell but no written or signed agreements came out of it chairman kim realizes perhaps better than anyone else that without nuclear weapons his country could fos become one of the great economic powers anywhere in the world making the second summit work is a matter of pristiq for donald trump but will it work the mega man might have to
12:11 am
give something up to could that mean less pentagon involvement in south korea mr kim knows how to play on family guy trumps emotions too it's just been revealed he once said this to america's top diplomat mike compare i'm a father and husband and i have children and i don't want my children to care with a nuclear weapon on their back their whole life this week it's time for donald trump and kim john to do a bit more than just pose for the cameras or send each other romantic letters i've received two letters from chairman kim what personal correspondence magnificent very strong letter form incredible letters it's time to agree on and cement something real which makes the vietnam chapter of the camp trump relationship even more unpredictable than when they first met you consider. a new u.n.

report says. twenty eight has been one of the deadliest year so far for civilians in afghanistan some four thousand were killed and eleven percent increase since twenty seventeen and the report says increased terrorist activity as well as afghan and u.s. military operations are to blame for the spike in civilian fatalities meanwhile a fifth round of peace talks between the taliban and the u.s. is being held in qatar on monday. but identity of reports. after almost two decades of war war stops being special it becomes normal like a habit and you know how hard it is to kick a habit same thing here fifth round of talks between the taliban and the u.s. lots of hope and lots of pessimism that maybe peace but the peace will not hold for long if the taliban bypasses local commanders and fighters ideas and views it would
12:13 am
be much better that the taliban include some important and effective local taliban commanders in the negotiating team there is history to these talks and then the doha meet she couldn't hush hush all the united states and the taliban they had gold and they bartered and apparently agreed on a u.s. troop withdrawal and then it all collapsed when the united states demanded that the afghan government which the taliban despises also participate there's a discussion but this discussion needs to be shared back to discussion that does not involve the region we will not trust if we don't get all the pieces right one piece alone doesn't suffice russia which has a huge stake in ending this war also tried to help in early february the then head of the taliban's political faction came here to moscow to take part in another round table brothers but one of them you probably heard it after the foreign forces
12:14 am
leave our. entry the afghans one have any reason to fight each other because we are a united fraternal people it was big eleven countries participated in these talks even the afghan opposition came taliban was there the us remained aloof and surprisingly with observer status watching in paranoid suspicion russia is again trying to model the u.s. backed peace process and the political situation in the began is done so here we are round five new talks the taliban's new political head freshly released from a pakistani jail is going to attend same topics really but sees for the u.s. troop withdrawal and again washington will try to get the afghan government involved just as problematic is see the taliban is fractured it has its own factions and centrists and extremists and they all want something different
12:15 am
the peace or religious law for the crazies death to america and if they don't get what they want talks and negotiations be damned if we're not respected by our leadership and political leaders of the taliban maybe the footy will continue under a different name or by joining islamic state two types of taliban members can rebellion against the leadership for its decision to reach a peace agreement with the us or the afghan government number one is people that are fighting for ideology hard core ideologically motivated taliban second is people that are fighting for economic in is business these two types of people taliban world find alternatives in the tentative for them is groups like isis
12:16 am
if taliban are going to start fighting in the. isis takes over then we enter a new phrase of militancy which the situation will be much worse than what we see right now. a former senior correspondent of the us t.v. network c.b.s. has alleged that the majority of the american media is biased laura logan also said she had been hounded for expressing alternative fears. i know they're going to come after me again and i'm not the only one if there are any journalists who are not beating the same drum and giving the same talking points then we pay the price in this country eighty five percent of journalists are registered democrats so that's just a fact lara logan had served as chief foreign affairs correspondent at the c.b.s. news channel for sixteen years still twenty eight in short a host of the popular program sixty minutes a curry sheffield from accuracy in media agrees with lara logan they're very
12:17 am
reflective of reality i'm glad they don't mind working very mainstream organization whose family willing to be open and honest so i think that many conservatives such as myself we've been really looking for honest truth tellers like laura logan to just bring some reality into the conversation a lot of conservatives huge and a study that showed that the vast majority of republicans believe that they should be and do not understand people like three c. over and over again shoot journalists having to retract their stories or to correct their stories so if the mainstream media really wants to improve our country they need to be more balanced in the reporting among the outlets alleged to have a liberal bias to the new york times the huffington post on c.b.s. a carissa field again says the media has long been leaning left. around seventy five seventy seven percent of americans believe that the mainstream media creates some form of fake news and a big part of what they said was fake news was what they were failing to report
12:18 am
about laura logan pointed out that the problem of the balance is so skewed to the left my take is that if you have a bias then you should be willing to accept it and don't pretend and she's a regular reports on logan's interview a bit differently some outlets articles on it would fly others got the green light of the breitbart news website drew attention to this it raised the alarm of a news god accusing it of trying to block and alternative viewpoints. to syria in the process of rebuilding itself after years of war a lot of work is also going on the judiciary level the parliament has passed amendments to syrian civil law restricting polygamy banning child marriage and expanding women's rights.

12:20 am
women something to not include he has agreed. to be expounded so far this school does not entirely meet the aspirations of when these associations still can be it's a positive. meanwhile the host of ati is going on the ground action or a chance to talk to up with arjuna shop and political and media advisor to syrian president bashar al assad you can watch the full that if you'd like to today or not preview. the less than me. vetted this. again that's the say then people that's it and people who didn't deserve that lasted maybe they lied on propaganda and the love they call an eye witnesses and they are really not investigated the check. and it's also why helmets are terrorists so honestly i would love all of the people it was going in the last of me don't just think i am know that they live somewhere not only in city oh.

this is international people in the japanese prefecture of okinawa have voted against relocating a u.s. military base that the base is being relocated to another part of the island and i work at the new site has already begun it seems that despite the referendum result prime minister shinzo up he will push ahead with the existing plan. we cannot avoid the necessity of moving food ten mom said to be the most dangerous but east in the world we cannot put this off any longer the basic question is surrounded by schools hospitals and shops under a deal with america it's being moved to a less populated part of okinawa in the north cold and the residents there are not happy they say the old based or simply shut down and not replaced. you know i have heard that this referendum has no legal basis but there are many people protesting in hanover every day i hope this referendum will be
12:22 am
a show of support to them. let me call me has already begun the japanese government is pushing through that construction by force i'm against the construction of a new base because the base is man for war that's why i'm against it. and the base being shut down has been at the center of a number of controversies and twenty sixteen there was a case of. a rape case there on the motor case a bit earlier and twenty thirteen to s. two u.s. soldiers admitted to raping a woman and then back about twenty four years ago three u.s. servicemen rented a van and kidnapped and raped a twelve year old girl. and i catherine join fischer who was raped by soldiers on a can i was sixteen years ago is now a rights activist she she says she was looking for those who committed this crime for ten years most of the american bases are situated on ok no island seventy percent of the bases are on okinawa and the island is so small so you can imagine
12:23 am
we have a lot of united states military servicemen there when they drink too much a local whole or if they commit crimes they can easily escape justice as in my case you know the man who raped me i had to look for him myself in ten years because the japanese government and the american military would not help so the more bases that are going to be in okinawa we need to work out ways that they can vary kate these crimes so it's now time for the voices to be heard about how they do not want any more rates in crimes you know murder it's against if people we have had seven over seventy years seven decades of these crimes happening and what is being done to stop that you know we just had another woman who was murdered you know over a year or so ago doesn't matter where they're going to put the base there's always going to be some kind of crime that they will need to tackle and how are they going
