and i gave to sex offender who was not even going to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of our in violence male sexual predators for the large part of charge of whoever is there to prey upon whether that's men or women. the taliban sons 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 afghan peace talks. also this hour despite booming u.s. oil exports top democrats unite in calling for a ban on tracking and are accused of playing into them. and a classic british children's t.v. character gets fired from his job over diversity concerns. it was just a children's card tell you it didn't take you to fall why didn't you just stick to the basic thing. somebody taking your thoughts you took to the degree really in a thing called quite happy with what it is.

a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our 2 h.q. in moscow into joining us this hour. the chief negotiator for the u.s. in peace talks with the taliban is to testify before congress made questions over president donald trump's decision to end discussions with the terror group meanwhile the taliban has urged him to return to the negotiating table in an exclusive interview with r.t. . i don't know that they're the reason behind it maybe you can ask them what happened but we are still committed to the leadership since we said that to i want to stand our policy from this time the commitment by this time is that there's no solution for the afghan conflict except negotiations and accepted peace on the table so we have already finalized and we hope that mr tung he didn't fit his.

announcement in he come back to where we were and we just signed draft after that and practically be able to make it on the ground. the taliban routinely conducts terrorist attacks across afghanistan and the latest incident at least 4 afghan troops were killed and 3 injured when a taliban suicide car bomber hit a military base in southern ca on thursday and it almost a year of negotiations with the taliban less sunday when they admitted killing a u.s. servicemen to quote strengthen their bargaining position on guns and looks now at how the talks are part. 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. to this. mr by his followers that he. doesn't bother so. those of us. you're one of the other so this is. different people to the people of other. 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 killed in. the u.s.

they said this isn't a war they want this isn't a war they can win by force but they won't and current give up the. it was imposed on us. american soldiers there and i want to stop it just not in it for 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 political 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 elizabeth. his or her mr vance are out of this for the purpose they have broken to such a peace treaty and good 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 all slow. with this and he also wants the city i don't know what is the what is important for us we have a different course of if the if the american side is not really a negotiation and did not want peace on the day it will so all that we would be compared to defend ourselves it would never do this for everybody is what hurt the most the taliban had negotiated told me is how close they were to a deal i seen the details had been worked out in the fine print sorted and approved only for everything to collapse where there was a discussion on the debate is over what did america think when there is a site that listed the. cease fire between us and american forces and we will get a city by city government or forces they will go out and run but it does that over the internet i only wish it was star with our neighborhood took over the bush years of the the ceasefire complex few cease fire and i could hear hints of ceasefire and

also other notice that does the issues can be discussed there as things stand talks for now all over the wall will go on the key. ling 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 called one sense prevails and the us goes back to what everyone in washington knows is inevitable talks negotiations with the taliban u.s. politicians have been arguing about america's role in afghanistan for years now and it was a key issue on thursday one 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 one thing we've learned about afghanistan from afghanistan it's the best way not to be caught up in endless wars to avoid starting one in the 1st when we came to you know offers to brock turned 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 made which we predicted was that you would not have a circumstance where the 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. ok with 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 was. the front runners clashed over several issues but recently there's been one topic they've mostly agreed on and off opposition to fracking where some even calling for a complete ban the process involves drilling deep into the ground to recover oil and natural gas with critics saying it's dangerous and bad for the environment top us some across share these fears as well and how the story. the usa is now the world's top 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 free 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 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 come 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 u.s. 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 lead to more prudent heavier than anything donald trump has ever said or done so good job democrats you're being pro russia 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 that 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 u.s. congress we have seen evidence of campaigns targeting i recall her and energy as 2 to. 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 volodymyr putin wants 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. archie new york. in the u.k. a cartoon fireman has been criticized for failing to give up with modern quality standards a 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. his friends. sam the french rescue team managed to save the day farm 1st aired in 1987 as 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 his time is up in some parts at least as artie's playboy 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 bots now lincolnshire fire and rescue service say that fineman sound is outdated and non-inclusive and he's putting off potential female recruit firefighters nationally and residents locally have raised some concerns that firemen some doesn't reflect the fire service today in terms of both the job itself and our workforce it's important to us that our open days and community events don't think anyone feel excluded and therefore we took

this decision lincolnshire 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 acting like you should do is to far yourself that it is a leaf i'm a sahm alone this isn't the 1st time that firemen 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 to the fore and stickery really enough and become 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 happy to have him renamed firefighters and 1st to then become gender specific person over here but why not some sort of gender specific name but street ok sir yes now most amount yes exactly exactly they could be put in because no rubbish it could be so it just knew. it was just a children's card to you if you take things to fogs that you see under 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 featuring an episode where mommy pig pretended to be a fire man and not a fire fighter. big east dressed as a. fun day. 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 that anthropomorphized fire extinguishes freddy failed but and penelope. still to come in the program in the an authority is make thousands of arrests in the disputed state of kashmir accusing neighboring pakistan of supporting terrorists after the break we'll hear arguments from both sides of the dispute.

or take for example the new york times editorial calling on trump to better relations with the kremlin as a way to block china an important question remains can moscow trust the west and the more. you're watching r t international welcome back to the program nearly 4000 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 to tensions calm amid ongoing clashes between the local population and indian security forces over half of those arrested have been released now hundreds of local politicians and pro separatist activists do remain in detention at this point and yet says it's committed to establishing full constitutional order in kashmir and accuses pakistan

of storing up unrest. my government is taking affirmative actions by adopting progressive policies to promote social economic equality and justice these progressive policies will not be fully applicable to our citizens in general and i doubt these are sudden decisions entirely internal to india the country can accept interference in it's been done in the finance certainly not india. pakistan needs to stop interfering in india's affairs it needs to stop exporting terror to india the minutes that stops normalcy can restore the fishing me from today has been created because of the stance policies of a 1000 cuts to be focused on is acknowledged the world or as the globe or that there is of pakistan needs to back off all indian states are not both the only issue that happens isn't pushed me to the spot the sun is the immediate me wouldn't be trouble the minute pakistan is out of that nation stop. r.t.

has had the chance to talk exclusively to the pakistani prime minister iran can on the number of topics including the situation in kashmir. it couldn't get any worse . what they have what they're 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 get indeed the people in a special status that status has been taken away they have actually gone against what the founding fathers of india but in that area 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 going to be chipped the government is now

going to use force. we fear that they 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 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. you can watch that interview with imran khan in for here on our team's national in just over a little 2 hours. the outgoing president of the e.u.

commission john klobuchar has lashed out at an initiative by his successor regarding immigration from our straight to berlin now and r.t. is dollar corner double what exactly is at issue here. well john clarke younker might be the outgoing e.u. commission president but that hasn't stopped him from giving his $0.02 on issues of migration one of his latest statements said that he assured the continent that migrants are not a threat to europe's way of life. to oppose the european way of loath to migration you have to respect the others independently for their color independently from the initial state. now younker was requote was responding to an initiative from his successor. there lay him who wanted to rename a number of european government positions most controversial was her creation of

the vice president for protecting european way of life and 2 and it was intended to address how migration was affecting the european economy and politics and life in general. the european way of life is built around solidarity peace of mind and security we must address and they legitimate fears and concerns about the impact of irregular migration on our economy and society. now this row is only part of europe's bigger migration situation especially because 1st arrival countries are finding it increasingly difficult countries like greece and italy to stem the tide of illegal migration onto the continent wall at the same time you have other countries like germany some of the main countries but not 1st arrival in europe that are putting pressure on these countries for them to stem this even further so that's the situation. don quarter that you for bringing us that report.

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 you know democratic primary voters of 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 michael. 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 into institutions.
