the superhero movies. to go see go on i don't want to be a legal reason. the taliban sends a clear message to donald trump in an exclusive interview with r.t. urging the u.s. president to rethink his decision to call off an afghan peace talks also to come despite the u.s. oil exports top democrat unites in calling for a ban on fracking and are accused of playing into putin's hands parcel such a classic british children's t.v. carried to get fired from his job over diversity and said. it was just a children's cartoon it didn't take meetings too far away to be just stick to the basics and enjoy somebody taking it up she took it to the footprints degree really enough income quite happy with what it is.

that well can you watching at international worst day in moscow now 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 to return 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 critical of the. 4 of one conflict except. peace on the table so. to. just. after the fact if you're

going to go there go well the taliban does regularly conduct terrorist attacks across afghanistan the latest incident at least 4 afghan troops were killed and 3 injured when a taliban suicide car bomber is a military base in southern can pull on thursday don't trump ended almost a year of negotiations with the taliban last sunday when they admitted killing a u.s. serviceman to quote strengthen their bargaining position but i guess you have looks now i would have the talks of foreign. just days ago they stood on the brink of a breakthrough the beginning of the end of the afghan war and 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. the next day with mr tucker cancer this is a. negotiation he mr buffett with his father is that he says he admitted that he had a good 1000 other well so if big dollars off us why we cannot get one of them or 2 other so this is what he would have to define our civic up to different people who look different in north of people of other somebody when they're really bombarded with the 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. 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 cause and give up the what is it was fun us. american soldiers don't want to stop it's not i'll admit it or 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 bring peace and i want some through the system but unfortunately i need to retrieve some sort of finality when it was cancelled by the american side of science and done a lot of consideration which was which took the lives of. his or her mr vance are going to some of the characters that have broken such a peace treaty and 2 terms and but obama started it we're going to be stupid so 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 other side are also. with this he also wants the city and the what is the what is

important for us we have a different course of if the if the american side is not really and it was initially and did not want based on the sort. be compared to the front office it would have to do this for a movie is what hurt the most the taliban had negotiated told me is how close they were to a deal a ceasefire the details had been worked out in the fine print sorted and approved only for everything to collapse were there was a discussion on the debate is over when you know they're going to decide that it's to do. a ceasefire between ask an american forces and get a city by city government in force of the rule and one over the internet under which it was so. good to avoid wishes of that the ceasefire can produce. an appearance excuse but also other donors that don't think issues can be discussed

there 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 u.s. goes back to what everyone in washington knows is inevitable talks negotiations with the taliban but i guess the if there were u.s. politicians have been arguing about america's role in afghanistan for years now is a key issue to you in thursday night's 3rd 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 is 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 offers to brock turn the president turned me into joe 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 year 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 know but believe what cheney and bush said. you know right here is the war in iraq. and helped lead the opposition. and it's been

a kind of you know how the feeling that there would be massive destabilization in that area if we went into that war well the 1st run is that the clash on 7 issues but recently there has been one topic they've mostly greed upon and that's opposition to fracking with some even calling for a complete ban on the process involves stringing drilling deep into the ground to recover natural gas as well as oil and critics saying it is dangerous and bad for the environment talk to us democrats these fees to come up in a small. 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 in to you 3 we want to be an engine 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 5 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 offshore and on public lands and i will ban fracking everywhere it's not just the left progressives you've got the centrist of 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. in the u.k. a car to find him and then has been criticized for failing to keep up with modern equality standards the classic children's t.v. character has been axed from his job as a mascot for a local brigade after bosses there said he could discourage women from joining us. these friends needed more than ever. sam the phone to the rescue team managed to save the day or farm stead in 1907 as an animation about firefighters in the small welsh village since then though he's been widely used to

promote fire safety and services across the u.k. but now it seems his time is up in some parts at least as. explains. 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 but not now lincolnshire fire and rescue service say that fineman sound is outdated and non-inclusive and he's putting off potential female recruits firefighters nationally and residents locally have raised some concerns but 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 that's the man who fired fireman sam has been getting where you stood for it really does a great job for you as a one saying live why don't they it's not yours it's not i think you should do is to for yourself. and 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've got it right i think it's just somebody taking it to the stickery really enough and come 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 don'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 happy to have him renamed firefighters and 1st to then become a non gender specific person that we did not know but why not some sort of gender specific name that's true here it's now muslim and yes exactly exactly there could be a political point about it is not rubbish it couldn't be so just do it it was just a children's character you know you're going to take things too far is that music and another british cartoon icon peppa pig was recently but rated by none other then the london fire brigade whose head is by the way a woman for featuring an episode where mommy pig pretended to be a fire man and not a fire fighter mummy pig is dressed as a fireman. why are you like. i'm going to the mummy's fire

engine practice come on peppa pig we've not been fireman for 30 years you have a huge influence on kids and using out of date stereotypical gender specific wording prevents young girls from becoming firefighters join our fire fighting sexism campaign women make up just 5.2 percent of firefighters in england and with that in mind lincolnshire fire and rescue service have come up with 3 original new characters to help attract more diverse recruits there anthropomorphise sized fire extinguishes freddy phil but and penelope. and that was before india has made 4 flies and arrests in this part of kashmir since last month we'll have a look at the details on this story your stuff. still

something seems wrong. just don't call. me to get to shape out this day become educated and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. 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 leave as the right questions and demand the right

answers. question. welcome back with an $84000.00 people have been arrested in indian administered kashmir since new delhi revoked its special status last month that's according to 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 hundreds of local politicians and prime separatists activists still remain in detention india says it is committed to establishing full constitutional order

in kashmir and accuses pakistan of steering up on race. 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 the dark these are southern decisions entirely internal to india no country can accept interference in its been done affairs 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 a global factor of terrorism pakistan needs to back off all indian states are normal the only issue that happens as an issue because pakistan is the immediate

neighbor that creates trouble there the minute pakistan is out of that mission trouble will stop. we have spoken exclusively to the pakistani prime minister imran khan 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 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 they 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 that 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 and you can watch that interview in full with imran khan right after he put it. ok well let's look at some world news in brief.

students have clashed with riot police in the colombian capital bother to ask demonstrators through stones or officers who responded with tear gas and damaged vehicles the rally was held in response to allegations of police brutality at a university campus a student had reportedly been shot there and dozens beaten up also in south america thousands of rallied in the square outside congress in argentina as well as aries they are demanding more food aid food shortages across the country a bill to increase spending on food aid will be read by the upper house later on on friday argentina has been in the grip of double digit inflation for months and in baltimore scores of demonstrators have gathered outside the hotel where president donald trump is staying the activists likened him to a rat and demanded that he leave their city that's because earlier the president

as far as policing words i've think it's. where does it stop or where does it end especially for businesses because there's not there's many other words which can be deemed offensive or the dish at the center of the scandal is traditional in the u.k. and consists of meatballs mixed with bread and herbs however google algorithms did flag it up the cafes advertisement as inappropriate and offensive content we asked visitors to the cafe what they thought of the back of the 1st producer but if you look at this because for a good saw both of them if you're going to take it down here you are going to have to take you know all of the country to dish you know see no television no holds back and. it's through to see if the good solution is meatballs and resolve to see if you can get them all of the country. i can see any. tags

with me i have the prime minister of pakistan mr in one can it's a pleasure to be here in islamabad and thank you very much for hosting me my pleasure my pleasure for years if there has accused pakistan of being lenient on terror groups what is your response to this firstly. by since i have been the prime minister. anyone any foreign observer. even when i spoke to prime minister i told him i said you can use your intelligence is agencies do check that any militant groups in pakistan we have taken action against we had legacy of the 1980s when pakistan was a front plate steered fighting. against the soviet union in afghanistan when we when all these militant groups would be in groups were trained and by august on and unfortunately after the soviets left of oneness than we were left with these

groups. you know maybe they should have been disarmed much earlier but my government certainly. as i said you can ask any foreign observers we are willing to ask them foreign media we are the 1st government that has taken these steps to remove these groups please don't be offended by the question but there are some critics who say that pakistan keeps al-qaeda alive because doing so if it is able to continue getting money from the united states why why has pakistan not been able to defeat al qaeda and the taliban after all these years. number one guy that does not exist anymore. you know this idea that we would use that to make money i mean what. in the war on terror when we participated in the u.s. war on terror. pakistan lost $70000.00 people we had $78000.00

casualties in the war secondly this country lost over $100000000000.00 economy lost over $100000000000.00 the the aid which we got was 20 to 30 $1000000000.00 at most to fight this war the country lost far far more than any money we got and in terms of human lives i don't think any country lost so many human beings as we did in this war on terror so this is just you know this nonsense that we would keep. and then the other thing about dollar bond you know. at the moment pakistan is playing its it's it's rule and what it should always have played its role in and bringing peace in afghanistan unfortunately our government kept trying to you know. fight a war which was not.
