oh please. the headlines this hour the taliban sends a clear message to donald trump in an exclusive interview with r.t. the us president to rethink his decision to call off the afghan peace talks also to come talk democrats call for an enterprising despite. claiming it plays into russia's hands and the classic british children t.v. characters gets fired from his job over diversity and so it's. really taking a topsy turvey to the degree really i'm often come quite happy with what is a children's character. is that he's a. good

morning it's 9 o'clock here in moscow you're watching international the chief negotiator for the u.s. in peace talks with the taliban is to testify before congress amid questions over president donald trump's decision to end discussions with the terror group meanwhile the taliban has returned to the negotiating table in exclusive interview with r.t. . i do the. work but we are still committed to the. policy from this very minute. as most of. what conflict except. peace on the table so. to. speak. to. just. after the

fact if they're going to go. well the taliban regularly conduct terrorist attacks across afghanistan in the latest incident at least 4 afghan troops were killed and 3 injured when a taliban suicide car bomb hit a military base in southern couple on thursday donald trump ended almost a year of negotiations with the taliban last sunday when they admitted killing a u.s. servicemen to quote strengthen their bargaining position but it looks now at how the talks fell apart. just days ago they stood on the brink of a breakthrough the beginning of the end of the afghan war then it all collapsed and it was too good to be true the talks with the taliban are dead. and the taliban refused to attend talks with trump wanting a deal 1st trump killed off negotiations citing an american soldier killed by islamists in afghanistan and i put it to the taliban how do you expect trump to

talk negotiate with you when you are killing his troops as you speak. mr barak his followers that he. doesn't other will so if. thousands of. yes why did we could not kill one of the other so this is what he would have to differ in our civic to different people to be fitted into the people of other somewhere to live but really when we're really what we have to defend our people the way the taliban see it they're defending themselves in their country fighting against a foreign occupation and for every american soldier they kill tens of their fighters and civilians are killed in by the us they said this isn't a war they want this isn't

a war they can win by force but they won't and can't give up the what is it because most. american soldiers there you know want to stop it it's probably a bit of the soldiers are going to be in washington they are never there was one of us but still we. proposed and we were keen to be set up with some through the system but unfortunately i need to retrieve some sort of finality even if it was cancelled by the american side sense the last consideration which was which took. his or her mr vance are going to for the purpose that are going to such a peace treaty and to dance in the boat obama started it we're going to be stupid so it will be us rigid we want peace in afghanistan we wanted to give a serious message for the foreign troops is to go from afghanistan so if the others are also who. is this he also wants the city and the what is the what is important

for us we have the different forces there if the american side is not really and it was usually who did not want peace on the day it will. be compared to a different person it would have to do this for everybody is what hurt the most the taliban had negotiated told me is how close they were to a deal i seized the details had been worked out. in the fine print sorted and approved the need for everything to collapse where there was a discussion on the debate is over well you know they're going to decide they need to do. a ceasefire between as an american forces and you get a serious message that we can force of the rule and on. the internet i mean which is it was so. good of a good wishes of the seas for. an appearance excuse but also other notice that it was the issues can be discussed as things stand talks for now over

the war will go on the killing will go on with trump already boasting that he's hitting the taliban with his pavement dead in fewer we have been serving as policemen in afghanistan and that was not meant to be the job of our great soldiers the finest on earth over the last 4 days we have been hitting our enemy harder than at any time in the last 10 years until that is common sense prevails and the us goes back to what everyone in washington knows is inevitable talks negotiations with the taliban was that more a ghastly if there were u.s. politicians have been arguing about america's role in afghanistan for years and it was a key issue to you in thursday night's the round democratic debate. where doing right now in afghanistan is not helping the safety and security of the united states

because the problems in afghanistan are not problems that can be solved by a military we have got to put an end to and less war but one thing we've learned about afghanistan from afghanistan it's that the best way not to be caught up in endless war is to avoid starting one in the 1st when we came to you know office to brock turned the president tournaments ajo when they said we had a plan to get out he turned to the whole security. joe will organize this get the troops home the big mistake that was may which we predicted was that you would not have a circumstance where this shia and the kurds would work together to keep isis from coming from moving in a huge mistake and one of the big differences between you and me i never believe what cheney and bush said about iraq. to the war in iraq. and helped lead the opposition. and it's been

a kind of you know how the feeling that they would be massive destabilization in that area if we went into that war. well the 1st run is that the clash over several issues but recently there has been one topic they have mostly agreed on and that's the opposition to fracking with some even calling for a complete ban the process involves drilling deep into the ground to recover natural gas but critics say it's dangerous and bad environment and the british will phase 2 out of more pain as the story. the usa is now the world's top the oil exporting country check out these words from the international energy agency booming shale production has allowed the u.s. to close in on and briefly overtake saudi arabia as the world's top oil exporter president trump says that this is a huge achievement he's ready to celebrate success becoming more and more energy

dominant i don't want to be energy 3 we want to be energy dominant in terms of the world but not everyone shares donald trump's energy market enthusiasm in fact most of the people who want to run against him in the 2020 alexion want to outlaw the practice of hydraulic fracking that's the reason the usa has so much oil and gas any proposal to avert the climate crisis must include a full fracking ban on public and private lands. on my 1st day as president i will sign an executive order that puts a total moratorium on own you fossil fuel leases for drilling off shore and on public lands and i will ban fracking everywhere it's not just the left progressives you've got the centrist got all the harris there's no question i'm in favor of banning fracking so at this point roughly 59 percent of america's oil is extracted from the shale so if you outlawed the practice of hydraulic fracking you would knock down the oil sector of the u.s.

economy pretty hard the same for natural gas now check out this headline. kremlin kemal or harris and other democrats are embracing vladimir putin's preferred us energy policy the new conspiracy theory even went viral on twitter many in fracking and use of natural gas would do more damage to america and make them or putin happier than anything donald trump has ever said or done so good job democrats your being pro russia pro putin and program wind by wanting to ban natural gas of course the senator isn't the only 2020 democrat calling for this from russia with love ban on fracking the most reliable of k.g.b. useful idiots bernie sanders is even clearer now this notion that opposition to hydraulic fracking is all a big plot from moscow is nothing new in fact we've even heard it from the halls of the us congress we have seen evidence of campaigns targeting our culture and energy as to 2. industries of interest to foreign powers on energy we've seen anti

fracking narratives so it seems like nowadays the only way to really play it safe in american politics is to find out what the why do we are putting once and do the exact opposite so let's hope that the russian president doesn't talk about say fixing up america's crumbling roads and bridges or addressing the opioid epidemic. r.t. new york. now in the u.k. a cartoon fineman has been criticised for failing to keep up with quality standards the classic children's t.v. character has been axed from his job as a mascot from the local brigade after bosses there said that he could actually put women off from joining us. these friends needed more than ever. the rescue team managed to save a poor farm and sam their 1st stead in $987.00 is an animation about firefighters in a small welsh village since then he's been widely used to promote fire safety and services

across the u.k. but now it seems is time it is up in some parts at least as artie's party boyko expects. generations of kids may have grown up with him but legendary children's t.v. show character fireman sam needs to get with the times that's according to the lincolnshire fire and rescue service for years he was their mascot helping to recruit new fina fighters bots now lincolnshire fire and rescue service say that fineman sam is outdated and non-inclusive and he's putting off potential female recruits firefighters nationally and residents locally have raised some concerns that farm and some doesn't reflect the former service today in terms of both the job itself and our workforce it's important to us that our open dates and community events don't think anyone feel excluded and therefore we took this

decision lincolnshire as chief fire officer. fired fireman sam has been getting roasted for it really does a great job for you as a one saying live as a wind away that's not yours it's not i think you should do is to for yourself and always leave farmer sam alone this isn't the 1st time that fireman sam has been in hot water many argue that while the show is politically correct and features plenty of female characters it should be renamed to firefighter. no i think you got it right i think it's just somebody taking it she took it so that stickery really enough income quite happy with what it is he is the epitome of straight. to my mind. may not be terribly appealing to people who want to be. firemen however if you're to be

a farmer you should want to know. why didn't you just stick to the basics and enjoy and get back to the basics so we might have a nicer place to live. very very hard was a huff and renamed firefighters and 1st some to then become a non gender specific person but cover it it that you know but but why not some saw gender specific name but stree ok search hear us now most amount yeah exactly they did i do play the could be a police who a point about how because no rubber sure if it could get a greater so it just do with it it was just to children's current tell you know you're going to take meeting suit fogs that use it under another british car to do i call on peppa pig was recently bow rated by none other then their london fire brigade whose head is by the way a woman for featuring in an episode where mommy pig pretended to be 85 am man and not a fire fighter my me pig east crist as a fireman fun

a well yeah you just like i'm giving to the mummies fire engine practice com on peppa pig we've not been fire men for 30 years you have a huge influence on kids and using out of date stereo typical gender specific wording prevents young girls from becoming firefighters joint our firefighting sexism campaign women make up just 5.2 percent of fire fight is in england them with that in mind lincoln shift fire under rescue service have come up with 3 a original new characters as so help attract more diverse recruits their anthropomorphise sized buyer extinguishes freddie phil but and penelope holly boyko that since gump few gifts out almost 4000 arrests have been made in indian controlled kashmir since new delhi revoked it special status back in august will have a look at this and morty tile just tough the break backs

geysers financial survival. housing bubble all. oh you mean there's a downside to artificially low mortgage rates don't get carried away that's concert for. to become eternal we have to become part robots. you know we have to become rituals like. iraq or you know all the superhero movies. and i don't think i'll ever i don't want to be a reason. most people think just stand out in this business you need to be the 1st one on top of the story or the person with the

loudest voice of the biggest race in truth to stand losing business you just need as the right questions and get the right answer. question. again you without need for fast and people have been arrested in india instant kashmir since new delhi revoked its special status last month but supporting said government data the mass detentions come amid ongoing clashes between the local population and indian security forces over half of those arrested have been released although hundreds of local politicians separatist activists still remain in detention india says it's committed to establishing full constitutional order in kashmir and accuses pakistan of steering up on the rest. my government

is taking affirmative actions by adopting progressive policies to promote social economic equality and justice these progressive policies will now be fully applicable to our citizens in jammu and kashmir and no doubt these are sovereign decisions entirely internal to india no country can accept interference in its been done in a fenced certainly not india. pakistan needs to stop interfering in india's affairs it needs to stop exporting terror to india the minute that stops normalcy can return the problem today has been created because of pakistan's for the seas of a 1000 cuts to be pakistan as a knowledge of the world or as the global factor of terrorism the star needs to back off all indian states are normal the only issue that happens is an issue because pakistan is the immediate need but it creates trouble there the minute pakistan is out of that mission trouble will stop but we talked exclusively to the

pakistani prime minister eman can about the situation in kashmir. it couldn't get any worse. what they have what they are doing what the b.g.p. government is doing in kashmir is not only have they violated the international law the the united nations resolution the other bilateral agreement between pakistan and india the similar agreement that's been violated they've gone against their own constitution the indian constitution guaranteed the people in kashmir a special status that status has been taken away they have actually gone against what the founding fathers of india pandit nehru narrowed the 1st prime minister what they had promised to the people of kashmir they've gone against that what we've. is that. this is governed b.g.p. government is now going to use force. we fear that there will be oppression

unprecedented already as i said 370200000 kashmiris have been killed but what they are going to do now we faired that this is out of our genocide why are they why have the clampdown on media day don't allow any media to get in there nothing is coming out of what is happening in the time they've imposed this curfew and these extra. security personnel there they did not even allow the leaders of the opposition parties to visit the dinner allow them there so what are they trying to hide. sadly i would have expected the world to react much more than it has where you can watch that interview in full at any time at our website at r.t. dot com and also on etting it's coming up at 9 30 am g.m.t. . let's have a look at some world news now and break. you

can see the crash with riot police in the colombian capital pocket demonstrators pelted stones at offices who responded with tear gas and armored vehicles the rally was held in response relegations of police brutality at a university campus a student had reportedly been shot there and dozens beaten up. meanwhile his south america thousands have rallied in the square outside congress in argentina's ben is aries they are demanding more food aid which shortages across the country at the moment a bill to increase spending on food aid will be read by the upper house later on friday argentina has been in the grip of double digit inflation for months and in baltimore schools the demonstrators there have gathered outside a hotel where president trump is staying the activists linked likened him to a rat and demanded he leave the city which the president early described as

a rat and rodent infested mess they also accused him of being racist names in his tough immigration paul said. it. was in the u.k. a small cafes push to drum up business using online advertisement has backfired because google banned them for their supposed use of a homophobic slur the word in question though also happens to be the name of a traditional dish the cafe and is expressed surprise at google's decision. i think that faggots and peas and chips and then you leave here is a traditional meal i didn't make the name and i didn't the days the traditional dish you can't change it there was nothing meant by what we were doing is just describing the actual menu item i don't know did the list of words or list was a google. and the word faggot is actually in the list with many others

as far as policing woods i've think it's it where does it stop or where does it end especially for businesses because there's not there's many other words which are can be deemed offensive. the dish at the center of the scandal is traditional in the u.k. it does consist of meat balls mixed with bread and used to be popular and still is in wales and the english middle and. well google algorithms that you flagged up the cafes it is meant as inappropriate and offensive content we asked this is a funnies rest stop cafe what they thought of the bat. i'm a fish producer but i think it's ridiculous because if i could saw. a food and if you're going to take it down here you have to take you know all of the countries traditional no seat no toes and no fact is that the east coast is a mutant so it's true to say the fog of social engineering paul infuse almost in

of the other did not know that bill. today did a good dentist and bad deadens the bad news in yemen the united states deems to be a threat the looked at 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 right away military windows funding an army of death squads there's no phone anymore because. there's always a. good. profit. john bolton is out trump's approval rating is down and elizabeth warren is now tied with joe biden for the democratic nomination in

a newly released poll the political panel weighs in on this edition of. going to politicking on matthew cook in for larry king on tuesday president trump announced via twitter that he was firing the national security adviser john bolton for his part mr bolton claims he quit this plays out as a newly released poll shows donald trump's approval ratings down since mid-summer what path might mr trump take in the coming months to try to improve those numbers and another poll shows senator elizabeth warren climbing into a virtual tie with former vice president joe biden for 1st place in the battle for the 2020 democratic nomination can she maintain her momentum let's turn to the political panel for analysis they are amy holmes political columnist and michael tobin democratic strategist and former senior aide to senator chuck schumer they're both in new york city welcome to the program that pleasure to be with you so let's

jump right in and talk about this economist hugo poll released wednesday senator elizabeth warren is tied with joe biden at 26 percent among registered voters your reaction let's start with you amy. well we are still such a long way out before iowa new hampshire south carolina but it shows how effective elizabeth warren has been in being able to court the democratic primary voters in the democratic base i think the person who should probably be the most worried about those numbers however is our friend bernie sanders who was supposed to be the progressive choice the progressive alternative to joe biden but elizabeth warren has cut into his foundation of voters and been able to you know make a really good go of it like. elizabeth warren and joe biden are very different candidates offering very different visions for america but most importantly very different versions of candidacies joe biden is talking about

a return to civility and some sort of reboot or control to lead on the computer that is america so that we get to return to a period before president trump and senator warren is suggesting that she has and has laid out very convincingly that she has a detailed plan for everything those are very different visions of what democratic primary and caucus voters are looking for and to amy as well considered point these are base and primary and democratic caucus voters these are not the voters that you need to be convincing in general elections will be interesting to see whoever wins a spot on whether it's senator sanders or senator harris whether or not they can reset their themselves and appeal to those important moderate voters come november amy do you agree with with michael's definition of what each candidate stands for in do you think that the democratic party is split into these 2 camps well we've

seen that yes joe biden has talked a lot about civility you know his 6 terms as a united states senator his 8 years as a vice president that he puts a lot of stock and faith in 2 institutions congress the white house etc while elizabeth warren and warren rather she has positioned herself as the outsider the fighter the fighter with the plan he's going to you know take it to donald trump i think as michael points out however while that might be appealing in the democratic primary and that elizabeth warren she talks about you know revolutionary change we don't want just incremental changes we want to you know to rework the whole system the whole way that america works that might be appealing to the a.o. see weighing the squad flank of the party but is that going to be an easy pivot when it comes to a general. and where she has to appeal to more centrist voters who don't necessarily want is a radical vision for america we'll see if she gets the nomination and then has the

you know the opportunity to make that sale but joe biden he's banking on the fact that those centrist voters will be with him in the general the question is can he appeal to those democratic left wing progressive voters in the primary michael let's not and i let's let's look i'd like a lot of credit i'd like to get you know i'd like to get your reaction to that but i'd also like will like you to talk about whether or not this is really cutting into sanders appeal or or not well the big difference between joe biden and bernie sanders and elizabeth warren is the obvious one which is gender whether or not the country is having passed on the opportunity to elect the 1st female president of the united states they see in elizabeth warren somebody more comfortable with that shattering the hardest highest glass ceiling than they were with hillary clinton so we really can't lose sight that bernie sanders i think is more in line with the a o c squad version of america so does this cut into the

center's base i think not.
