president council so-called secret peace talks with the afghan leader and the taliban after the militant group admitted to a recent terrorist attack. a warm welcome he watching the weekly here on r.t. international with the latest world news and a roundup of the stories that shape the week the 1st millions of weapons made in serbia have reportedly fallen into the hands of islamic state fighters in yemen and syria after they were bought by the united states and its allies as according to documents seen by a bulgarian journalist. this isn't anonymous inner city blog document about. the klan not serbia not actively crusade and the u.s. soccer mom tracking all the way to war or so on those

contrasts i will say able to identify one particular out a lot of left in the sand the language they hear is there to stop again the video e.m.f. if those documents prove to be genuine then weapons seen on the islamic state video in yemen could well be serbian made off to being sold to u.s. military contractors senior correspondent rod gonna see explains how the weapons could have ended up in paris tons. it's a remarkable trail from the arms factories of europe for the hands of isis terrorists in yemen in the span of barely a year we knew this courtesy of concerned citizens who leaked the e-mails the memos the contracts between the u.s. its contractors and weapons manufacturers and the g. harvests gave it away propaganda real from isis showed in their position 82 millimeter mortar shells which the reporter was able to identify for

18 read the numbers the cited as production growth for manufactured in 2018 k.v. stands for the arms factory the full value of a place in serbia where the arms factory is and thanks to those leaked documents it appears the us military purchased a lot for from crew sick military factory last year then it was a matter of following the paper trail how those shells were brought transported mog for the afghan army and ended up with isis in yemen report the discovered all this is certain in her findings oh. no weapons of war are. where. they are or are the claims you've made damaging of course is true for the us government that based on these documents that you got hold of

how hard was it to get them and how certain are you that they are genuine. i was that i am right in the beginning. i don't know or the people. were all sent. where or what but i'm very thankful them because. they are they. in the sitting government. and on the labor. market or so this there is the name of the company. there were you know government or worth of. weapons on behalf of the arm and don't think of that so it's not a 0 to. like he back to the us government although there is indication that information about the

us thank you know that we. were ensured the documents speak for themselves the arms factory made the shelves alien tech systems and contractor for the pentagon purchased $10500.00 of them for $8000000.00 it would transported the bug area coincidentally it was isis fighters were also holding a bulgarian made sold rifles next shipment was flown via silk way west lives and is about johnny airline licensed to transport weapons for the pentagon to u.s. bases next thing we know within the year shells are in isis is arsenal you need question all of this is how and who handed over those arms to extremists there and minded the just isis that we've seen in possession of munitions made in but also.

the way in syria various other jihad scoops remarkable coincidence for them to accidentally stumbled upon all of these weapons reportedly paid for by u.s. taxpayers now we've sent many many requests for comment to the pentagon to its contractors involved in all of this the airlines the basis but so far nothing. former u.k. army officer charles gave us his insights on how weapons end up in the hands of terrorists people such myself and not just me many people since 2011 and before when this was being muted as we can supply we were told to moderate rebels as they were caught in either libya or syria with weaponry that would help overthrow gadhafi or for example assad it was obvious to those of us who've got really any military backgrounds and told that it would be impossible to control where those weapons would end up and indeed much research

a lot of academics and so on has proved this to be the case again and again are the moderate rebels so-called selling or handing over these weapons to these groups all of these groups can capture them in the field if they have backless or disputes themselves of course it could have been and i don't think this is necessarily the stuff of conspiracy theories it could have been so obvious of course that this would happen that it would end the weapons would end up in the hands of these extremist groups that that was the intention right from the start these are all possibilities. in south africa's biggest city johannesburg a foreign owned businesses are being a new stadium at a wave of anti mind when crime across the country was monday the country's police minister described the situation as a national emergency put us lay reports. you mean shifty in johannesburg which. has seen some of the worst violence against foreigners south africa as you can see yet i'll take kids what they can to stop that was owed by not because not where

scenes happening so close to a business own for you on green fluid before we use of them. the sun will move through the and can we see can we come to the armory. for most of last year wonder if we'll move what do we do with it you know like we would all work for believe that we've moved from. do you think showing your south african identity protext it is going to give you this week with why what happened are you going to go look close the emotional gun law deal little are the police and the government doing enough given that they're not doing enough or the nose game would be lonely government to go on a more global good will remove or do you want both of whom would you need before it's not just foreign owned stores that were targeted here you can. see a 2nd hand clod to me the ship that was broken into and the cars sitter lice not a result as being an offer by the nigerian foreign ministry for any nigerians living in this country who feel unsafe to be able to slide back home full free this

is the worst bates of the i'm a phobic violence that's of africa has witnessed since 2008 police ista must adjacent some 8 people have being killed a more then $300.00 have been detained as we say the violins a sad reflection on what weighty is and and tenable situation where are you from put of the world i do plates to be and south africa the erm flow you of glows the goes a people thought the good mill lawson doing load good for of remove the for of middled the rounds of your with dirt give it it be yubin the bliss and how many years if you've even some of the do years to so you stop applicant you know of schools and now would you have no business will move this few new should move it it is feeling how you can air the cost to a families oh the mo over now thus shop korea which is being completely boarded app was owned by nigerians n. very are no way here to you seen of course they very afraid this shop is completely

situation. i have said but if the police are not coping i would have asked that the south african defence force must reinforce the police but so far they are dealing with the situation in all in the entire provinces college. president trump council sunday's secret peace talks with the taliban in the u.s. after the group admitted carrying out the day's explosion in the afghan capital in which an american soldier was killed they admitted to an attack in kabul that killed one of our great great soldiers and 11 other people if they cannot agree to a ceasefire during these very important peace talks then they probably don't have the power to negotiate a meaningful agreement anyway the u.s. dollar taliban have been in negotiations for months with the militant group demanding the withdrawal of the foreign troops from afghanistan while america wants guarantees about the country's security a draft accord was reached last week however its future is now in question. well

the taliban didn't take well as the talk spain council are warning that the decision will lead to even more u.s. losses affects the country's credibility and exposes anti peace stance despite the threats the taliban claims it's committed to the path of negotiations while again demanding the withdrawal of foreign troops here's some of the reaction we got to trunk's decision from people in afghanistan. part of the heart because one of their soldiers is presumably that general was killed in a suicide attack abdul haq square he called off the peace talks while so many afghan army forces and civilians are killed on a daily basis they do not think about that. since the peace talks began the suicide bombings and attacks have increased in our people have been killed and they had accepted peace they should have announced a cease fire and then the talks should have moved forward to understand commentator i'm told by at one believes chance cancellation has more to it than just the peace

negotiations but i cannot accept that the reason to cancel these secret summit in camp david. the one american soldier definitely there are other reasons but resume look i mention it. it means a president that i actually realized that he was liked by all of our present ground is this group for this deal he committed himself in his election campaign that he will all out all that many troops from afghanistan and you want at least troops to be pulled out before that because then should election and alibi and realize this kind of distraction from the american side from the president's side so that's why actually they are trying to improve their position and milk a lot of concessions from the american administration. britain's prime minister is sticking with his do or die strategy to take the u.k. out of the european union and there is

a bar stones that emphasized his reluctance to extend this. course a 1000000000 pounds a month cheese absolutely nothing. is the point of further delay i think it's totally pointless the bill designed to stop the u.k. leaving the block without a deal was passed by both the house of commons on the house of lords legislation requires the prime minister to ask the e.u. for another extension if a deal is not agreed in parliament by the 19th of october mr jones would also have failed this week to force a snap general election because he lacked a majority in the house and p's well vote once again on monday on whether to hold a national poll last additionally this month the prime minister expelled $21.00 m.p.'s from the conservative party after they rebelled against him and votes in favor of legislation to block a new deal bracelets the list includes several former cabinet members and tory grandees including winston churchill's grandsons

a necklace soames throughout the week parliament frequently erupted in anger over the course breck's it was taking. try a minister is acting like a dictator the public simply show you see. what is going on in this place the prime minister should simply follow his convictions on the resign. there's only one car in a cage that i can see this time i think it's a cynical movement from a cynical prime minister so what lies ahead to break that and u.k. politics take a look barstools and might get past not election but he's also an already under pressure to quit as prime minister other options are to get a deal done with the e.u. before the deadline on the 31st of october oh delay it once again to january next year we step when brian is the brig's a party i meet pay for scotland shares his thoughts on what's happening we find ourselves in a situation where parliament is no longer serving the people of the united kingdom

parliament is serving parliament think it's about time they started to be honest it's not about stopping their due process is about stopping any target so these people i hope on frustrate in this process for as long as possible until bret's that fatigue is so strong that we card of just give up on this. in the united kingdom 72400000 people voted for this this time to democracy it needs to happen now of course derek organised very reluctant now after several years of calling for . an election now he doesn't want one but that's possibly because we can see from the polls that they wouldn't fare very well in a general election i would like to see force be able to take control of this process of reform with this but my fear is that the parliament will continue to work against him they will hand over control to europe. the highly anticipated prisoner swap between russia and ukraine took place on saturday with each returning 35 people and their country's leaders spoke by phone saying the move will help to

normalize relations towards solving the civil conflict in eastern ukraine and i'm. the newly freed prisoners that touched down in moscow was russian journalist killed over shinseki is being jailed since $28.00 on treason charges and is accused of backing the breakaway self-proclaimed republics in the east of ukraine but since he firmly denies all the charges insisting that he was targeted for simply doing his job as a journalist. the meantime president selenski welcomes the $35.00 returning ukrainian prisoners as they their plane landed in kiev some of their relatives were also there to meet them the trade involved $24.00 ukrainian sailors seems to be violating the maritime border with russia and ukrainian activist only accent thought convicted of plotting terrorist acts in crimea. has been described by the russian and french leaders as an important humanitarian act during a phone conversation between vladimir putin and emanuel mccrone earlier this sunday

it also rekindled hope that a solution can be found to settle the long running ukrainian crisis we see the agreed mutual release of people detained in russia and ukraine as a positive signal which could see another important step to breaking the deadlock in the current russian ukrainian relations russia and ukraine just what large numbers of prisoners very good news perhaps the 1st giant step to peace congratulations to both countries are ukrainian president vall dimmers alinsky and russian president vladimir putin have done everything we have promised and did not change our agreements. this is the 1st time for about 5 more than 5 years close in 6 years that russian ukrainian face reading anything that could be seen as a positive i mean obviously decision also been made at the highest level between. the new president there in ukraine. and the president in russia so it seems that

the 2 presidents have decided upon it's a very high profile prisoner swap to be well received by france and germany. particularly if you were you know a man you're my corn and anglo-american i've been talking about trying to get the peace talks we started this month i mean they basically are parked in the core of poroshenko simply didn't want to could or didn't have the mandate cian internally in ukraine it wasn't strong enough but if he was unable to move the peace talks alarms anybody that wants to see peace between in eastern ukraine and normalization of relations between russia and ukraine after this you know 5 and a half years some of them by old and i still if he understood long interregnum period where there's been no progress whatsoever well below should of course. the ongoing anti beijing protests in hong kong have taken place for a 14th straight weekend and turned violent earlier this sunday police used tear gas against more radical groups of demonstrators that broke away from the main rally

thousands joined in a peaceful march to the u.s. consulate appealing to donald trump. the star-spangled banner they're being heard as protesters gathered waving american flags and shouting slogans in english like resist beijing and liberate hong kong they called on u.s. lawmakers to pass a bill protecting hong kong's democratic freedoms and human rights fires were allegedly started in a subway station while protesters barricaded roads and classroom door dorothy's before that police and rearrested leading pro-democracy activist joshua one for preaching his bell conditions the bill protesters were calling for is making its way through the u.s. congress introduced back in june it would require annual checks on hong kong's autonomous status if passed a could see chinese and hong kong officials hit with sanctions if they undermine

the region's autonomy or human rights u.s. lawmakers have described it as a commitment to democracy. we must take action to demonstrate to president g. the united states senate stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of hong kong in u.s. congress we look forward to swiftly advancing the bipartisan hong kong human rights and democracy act to reaffirm u.s. commitment to democracy human rights and the rule of law and a face of beijing's crackdown you know some in the u.s. are still so obstinately sticking to the wrong course they threaten to push the relevant hong kong related legislation wantonly criticized hong kong affairs and grossly interfered in china's internal affairs once again i advise certain u.s. politicians to immediately stop pushing hong kong related legislation cease interfering in hong kong the fed it wants and make efforts to enhance mutual trust and cooperation between china and the u.s. . hong kong based and journalist andre voltec thinks the protest is already receiving help from washington actually the protesters throughout probably expect

any kind of help from the united states or united states is not going to of course and the troops or do anything. to help them out however there are counseling for that on the. media and propaganda support from us through the united states. the market assist local democracy movement that's the out or hearing about this rather casually but it will get out there it does anyone who is against them is being either intimidated or attacked china is. keeping cool it is so far between homegrown. law enforcement and local protesters but how will the situation gun laws that are filled with those entire cities but all eyes stations are being destroyed and the main avenues

absolutely dropped from the rest of the city. thanks to using r.t. international we're back with a monday morning. lines in 30 minutes we'll see about. the future they did i would bet it is a mad deadens the bad news in yemen the united states deems to be a threat the looked at it is so those one in syria the cia and the u.s. military were engaged in covert actions really throughout the world. where they were assassinating populist leaders they were backing up the right way military juntas funding an army just was there's no phones anymore because there's always a small call of people for or really good that's good for profit.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to. have to go right to be press was like before 3 in the morning can't be good i'm interested always in the waters in the house. last question. and. well you know the thing we've kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i mean they're in this small ball and sniffs it hard pulling ships and it's. not something. the little self to be told fish already 90

percent of the darn time i need to bone that conner. concept 15 scoops $75.00 tons and they do it several times a day with a big fleet so no you get an idea oh she said. we have to understand we can not stay still and just. be within this the field going to use our arms. i'm doing this because i want them for the future world to the future generations to have and enjoy the ocean how we have. you know world of big partners through a lot of things 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 bats 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. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

a move welcomed across town for all things considered i'm peter lavelle attempting to end one war while avoiding a new one as usual the trump administration's foreign policy is unpredictable and even contradictory there are no better examples than afghanistan and iran. talking some real news i'm joined by my guest here in moscow exam tomorrow he is the founder of the center of political strategic analysis dr paul we also have dmitri bob h.-e. is a political analyst and editor at interest me internet media project and in london we cross the charles to bridge he is a security analyst and a former u.k. army and counter-terrorism intelligence officer originally cross-talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate let me go to charles 1st in london while this story with afghanistan in the quote unquote peace process is take a very interesting turn from what we've been told leadership members of the taliban

were supposed to go to camp david and i guess maybe tie a bow on this again quote unquote peace process here i don't buy that story it was on the back of a taliban attack in one american was killed and 11 other people were killed that's the story of the last 18 years ok was of the story of the last few days here my supposition is trump got cold feet because he doesn't know where it's going to go and it's not a political winner for him with this foreign policy blog not necessarily with the american people we can get into that go ahead charles what's your take. i think there's something in what you say here i don't think it's as it appears certainly i think trump has had misgivings as indeed as a lot of the us we can say foreign policy establishment of course trump is sometimes in that sometimes outside of that circle but i think he would share some of the views that he's been strongly pressured particular of the last few days and

weeks even in the media a lot especially in the media as a result of. these talks actually approaching even if it wasn't widely known that they would be approaching in this form there's concern of course that if the u.s. does indeed strike a deal with the taliban and the u.s. leaves that actually that will return afghanistan to taliban control it seems quite likely that would be the case but that's going to be the case whether america leaves today after 8 if they'd left 91015 years ago and so really i mean trump has got an election remember a manifesto commitment to end the u.s. war in afghanistan it's let's think about some of that it's cost upwards of $1.00 trillion dollars over the last 18 years actually i mean even the pentagon puts it at $760000000000.00 it's cost $2.00 and a half 1000 u.s. lives another 1000 coalition lives not with and of course not to mention of course we will mention but so many won't mention.
