the taliban warns of more american deaths after donald trump cancels afghan peace talks. journalist he was part of an historic prisoner swap with ukraine speak to us a bounce is the tension here. is the other it's stupid to deny this is a political process and it's not enough because my release and it ended like that because there was a change of government. and with just hours to go before a suspended the u.k. parliament get one last chance to agree to a general election after a disastrous week for boris johnson with the pm losing all king breaks in votes.

good evening i welcome this is r.t. international. the afghan president has declared his country is ready to face off against the taliban after donald trump pulled the plug on peace talks with the group it had been hoped that they would bring america's longest war to an end he blamed the group's recent attack on karbala in which an american soldier was killed the taliban scrapping the talks will result in more u.s. losses. 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 us president called off the peace dialogue this will lead to more losses to the u.s. his credibility will be affected his anti peace stance will be exposed to the world

losses to lives in assets will increase. the president's handling of talks with the taliban which could have ended america's 18 years of military involvement in afghanistan drew bipartisan criticism the u.s. targeted the group for giving shelter to al qaeda terrorists however before the invasion u.s. relations with the taliban were rather different. explains after almost 2 decades of war this could have been the big break but no back to war as luck would have it peace in negotiations weren't on the media's mind when they found out they were outraged that trump should dare talk to the enemy that was murderous villains who dare fight against the u.s. occupation. the problem with the council of afghanistan talks was not the timing locale or recent taliban violence it was the reality that the talks were designed

to provide a cover for u.s. troop withdrawal rather than peace and would help the taliban while undermining the afghan government never should lead is a terrorist organization that hasn't renounced kind 11 and continues an evil be allowed in a great country never full stop for the us to meet with the taliban and not have the leader of afghanistan to make meet with the taliban is something that's doomed to failure the whole thing doesn't quite make sense i mean it's just another example of the president truly treating our foreign policy like it's some kind of game show this isn't a game show these are terrorists listening to them you'd never know that by the late ninety's the taliban which was already hosting asama bin laden were invited to the us is on the guests for business by us energy company talks and laying pipelines talks supported by the government it was very you know they have this shadow we image i guess you call it that i found

a very straightforward and. i think the clinton administration was really committed to helping you know american business to be successful. we enjoyed. really strong support. for military analyst julie sir's to report for the defense intelligence agency pointing out that there were alternatives to the taliban we didn't go down well with her superiors. the state department didn't want to have anything to do with afghan resistance war even politically to reveal that there was any viable option to taliban she was apparently forced out soon after i heard that some people at the state department were people among those more sympathetic with the taliban at that time so there might have been some political reasons as well but ultimately i was forced to leave a year later bin laden and al qaida orchestrated 2 attacks on us embassies in

africa 224 people killed and yet still the us entertained the taliban the same taliban then governing of gotta start and which tolerated al qaida on its soil was invited back to the us in 2001 on the fischel state visit during which jarvis dignitaries explained the virtuous treatment of woman and now when there's. security over not. busy over working it's right there. in the minister. we don't use them as objects of advertisement. it's they are not for you or. for many other things women shouldn't be 4 months before $911.00 the u.s. sent $43000000.00 to the taliban

a reward for fighting narcotics trafficking who would have known that just months later america would invade to start a war that would last for almost 2 decades the united states have been cooperated with jaya dean in afghanistan for a long time they didn't see them as that dangerous they saw them as people who would stay over there and and they thought they could use them this changed on 9111 hand it does seem hypocritical for the united states to meet with the taliban today after promising to destroy them on the other hand it's the necessity of defeat the united states has been fighting for 18 years and it is the american public is tired of it. and us wouldn't hear a bad word about the taliban and why did the mover is on a guest plan to build pipelines together but peace talks in 2019 that obviously is something america just current and paid.

the russian journalist to return to moscow on saturday is part of a historic prisoner swap with ukraine has spoken to reporters a real vision ski was arrested in care in may 2018 on charges of treason and was released from pretrial detention late last month as well as giving a press conference he spoke to our correspondent with the details is auntie's me financially. 52 year old russian journalist with ukrainian passport who spent $470.00 days in detention in ukraine more than 15 months the time confessed to us definitely became a task for him not only professionally but as a human being this is how he described the biggest challenges and the hardest moments for him while in detention. the hardest thing was the living conditions because it's a shock when someone 1st enters prison i had in my hands the boat for toiletries

a toothbrush and toothpaste the 2nd hardest thing was to get over the shock of everything that was happening to me because i understood that it had nothing to do with the law i understood that it's absolutely political and also realized that by law i could not protect myself how interview didn't last more than 15 minutes but i saw tears in kid it was always so many times during this time it's really hard to understand what he's been through but whatever it was definitely brought so much pain and frustration and to deal definitely as far as i understood from what he was telling me it was really bad about his case but there is much more than just that. there were women and all the people arriving in moscow whereas in ukraine only military officers and men of military age came out of the airplane the sort of people know what they're going for while it's humiliating to have women and old people in jail there was a woman who was 6 months pregnant in the detention facility where i was she helped

to organize the crimean referendum in 24 team she was put in prison for that just a few words of case to remind you he used to be they had of russia's agency an obvious t. in kiev ukraine until one day in may $2900.00 he was arrested over a treason charges by ukraine's as b u national security agency and if guilty he could face up to 15 years in. reason he was never proven guilty and he denied all the way through these promises all the allegations and all the charges this case brought some international attention and repeated condemnation from though is see you kill told me he has no doubts that his case was and remains a political case that it's stupid to deny that it's a political process and it's ended with my release and it ended like that because there was a change of administration i knew that as long as pershing co was in power i would

remain in prison i thought were profession would protect me i work according to strict standards if i followed all of these journalistic standards there was nothing they could arrest me for but it turned out there was because poroshenko created a big political story together with ministration. hill added he hopes all those responsible will eventually be brought to justice and he also said he's not a politician but again he helps that what happened to he meant $34.00 other people exchanged and released from ukraine in detention would eventually mark the beginning of a new era of the era of better positive relations between ukraine and russia with more dignity and more respect. so it's a new week but the same old issue of briggs's is playing out in the u.k. parliament with employees due to vote again on a snap election later today it comes after

a bruising week for prime minister boris johnson who lost key parliamentary votes. more on the latest twists and turns of breaks it. is an mammoth week ahead of us today and that comes as parliament is definitely shutting up shop for this parliamentary session that says downing street has confirmed confound it will try over or suspend parliament until october at the foot of the end of today's session now it's all comes johnson faced in america bruising to his premiership for he suffered key defeats last weekend parliament over his do or die no deal come october 31st plus the whole issue of a snap general election now m.p.'s today are yet again expected to reject the government's call for a snap general election it comes as many opposition leaders throughout the day today has been quite vocal and quite public about their rejection of that vote

later on this evening having said that despite boris johnson's horrendous week last week he's still defending his stance saying that bracks it needs no delay. is the point of. delivery and that's what they want. to force us to. do. i would everybody to know that there are circumstances in which. to do they will leave the 31st of october gives us we do to fulfill the repeated promises of parliament to the people and come out of the e.u. on october 31st. all but well earlier today for us johnson met his counterpart over in ireland to address the issue of the irish border but yet again to absolutely no avail in fact they've both released a joint statement that's boris johnson and live for about korea for an island and they've both agreed that there was significant gaps that remain between them

somewhat cautious any idea that there's room to maneuver and negotiate over in brussels and across the pond we heard from the french foreign minister and he is saying that actually. there could be a veto when it comes to all of this but as things stand it's a no brainer you say they want to propose other solution to turn it into arrangements to ensure that the truth is that we have not seen them so it's a no we can't we starting this every 3 months you let the british tell us what they want to know well back here in westminster it seems like we are in for a very long evening ahead just earlier today the house of commons speaker john bercow he and now say they will be standing down for a general election on october 31st whichever one comes but as i say asphyxia night we'll be seeing plenty more motions to be voted on and debated on and we'll bring aspic out at. the traditional religious performance in germany has come under fire from the animal rights organization that's calling for donkey's to be

removed from the show depicting the last days of jesus christ instead it suggested a scooter is used. these days jesus would no longer travel by donkey he would presumably move in a nice scooter or some other electric vehicle that is kind to animals and the environment. has been criticised by the performers the playing jesus says the play represents a specific moment in time that the scooter would be totally out of place the event

has been held in bavaria since the 17th century with only minor changes and it's not just those on stage angry at peter's intervention. jesus is supposed to ride these couture instead of a donkey it could not be more idiotic i was in jerusalem and there is a ban on the use of electric vehicles in the old town i understand the criticism itself but seriously jesus on on the scooter while everything around is historically correct oh. animal welfare is taking a lot in germany and europe in countries in many countries throughout the world animal welfare is well taken and what is not taking counsel patiently is human welfare peta has had since mission to divert attention away from human suffering and focus attention on less important issues and peta has probably no knowledge of the german loss but a lot of the land is very strict and it has its limits but it also has privileges

and certain privileged organizations can as long as they follow the strict procedures that the law provides use animals in their performances. dispute between tehran and western countries over an iranian tanker remains in choppy waters or just plain old after this break.

the barbarians the vandals on wall street are now actively plundering your bank account with a negative interest in astronomy canonic policy there and there's no economics behind it that would cue to any school of economics that has ever existed as dr michael has said since the bronze age it's just out right. back to the u.s. special envoy for middle east peace has resigned casting further doubt on israeli

palestinian relations jason green blant was a key figure in the trumpet ministrations efforts in the region and it's unclear if his successor will be able to put his proposals into practice than taking over from him is the back of it he graduated law school 3 years ago and according to reports has no middle east experience until now he's worked as an aide to trump's son in law which i would question. meanwhile the former green blood received criticism in the arab world for him popular decisions after supporting the relocation of the u.s. embassy to jerusalem and recognizing israeli sovereignty over the golan heights but his decision to leave the job is now raising questions over what happens next guest about it how the deal of the century could work 1st of all let's agree that the there there might be a plan that the u.s. administration is working on but that peace is not part of it and the palestinians

are not part of it then that's why the palestinians have taken the very logical approach in forming the international community that so long as this administration does not recognize trellis to me and writes international law there's really not much to talk about if the palestinians are going to simply boycott mr green blood boycott mr trump boycott the saudis boycott anything before they even seen the play and then there's no opportunity for a gauge of it this is the time for engagement not for boycotts and when you start to boycott the arab world and the united states you're going down a very slippery slide going to be arab or miss. no but is well i caught tell the audience have would palestine his is an integral part of the arab world mr green blatt is someone who has is not only committed ideologically to the settler movement he is a contributor to the entrancement of the supplements regime which is illegal under international law in the heart of the occupied west bank so there was never

a moment where this administration even made a slight effort to give the impression that it's has any inclination or any interest in being balanced in being objective butts the palestinian authority that have got to get with the program they live in a middle east that they essentially believe they are of the center of the middle east and their real they've really become a footnote in there are about to throw the throw themselves excuse me into the waste basket of history are the less they begin to engage with the greatest superpower on earth which is the trump administration who truly wants the best for the palestinian people at is trying yet again after 25 years of failures to help the palestinian people and there is really neighbors come to a diplomatic political and economic solution in the palestinians throughout to the past years with successive american administrations have bent over backwards to try

and reach a solution that would guarantee a real to stay to for me alive now if you're talking about formulas that were presented that would give the palestinians far less than a stayed then naturally the palestinian leadership which is accountable to the palestinian people cannot accept something that is not acceptable less than a palestinian state it's time for the palestinian authority to a pony up and get with the program so that they can achieve the type of independence it israel can have the type of the rights and security that the jewish people so much deserve in this part of the world's so it's a win win recognizing israel's illegal annexation of jurists it's been rejected worldwide recognizing israel's illegal annexation of the syrian golan has been rejected worldwide when when situation in the middle east is quite simple and it starts by putting the occupation in the historic waste bin.

an iranian tanker that had been at the center of a dispute between tehran and western powers her stock to the mediterranean and loaded more than 2000000 barrels of oil that's according to the country's foreign ministry which refused to reveal who was involved the adrian daria one oil tanker finally doctor on the mediterranean coast and unloaded its cargo we had already said that we would sell our oil one way or another and acts of sabotage would have no effect on our plants. the vessel in question previously known as the grey swan was held by the u.k. in july near gibraltar despite objections from the united states which is increasing pressure on iran the ship was released in august after tehran gave assurances it wasn't heading for syria after that its a lease those tracking device was switched off but it was spotted in satellite photos having anchored off syria. the school analysts must africa chesham believes that upping the pressure washington seems to fail to nail tehran. iran is

you know cautious about avoiding revealing to the identity of its customers throughout the war not just in this region so iran needs to you know be on the safe side it's a rational and wise move that they are doing otherwise they rein in costs and there's would be unless the and the list of iranian costumers would shrink this case has continued for quite a long time now the us is at the end of identifying the banking and energy sectors that it could sanction now they are moving along the path in order to go for various small moves to probably increase the pressure on to iran but so far they have failed to do sell. the u.s. budget deficit is expected to hit one trillion dollars next year and questions on understandably being raised over just how american taxpayer money is being used and
