the u.s. tonight is taliban claims they have brought down a pentagon plane and afghanistan incident is complicating hopes for a peace deal after 19 years of war. also this our friends in the tourist police for need responsible for numerous civilian injuries the critics are skeptical about the motivations behind the move. and in a astonishing tirade hillary clinton lashes out at facebook for quote intending to wield like donald trump britain's facebook chief mark zuckerberg trump even and authoritarian platform has refused to delete political ads which democrats claim are misinformation a lot. i always thought many people like the law but that he was part of the

state that he was on her side these against her. watching r t international bring you live news updates from our studio here and moscow welcome to the program the u.s. has confirmed it's investigating the incident with the pentagon plane that crashed in taliban controlled territory in afghanistan on monday the surveillance aircraft was carrying military personnel and high ranking cia officers in a statement the pentagon insists there are no indications that the crash was caused by enemy fire however a taliban spokesperson appeared to confirm responsibility. a special way to the american occupiers. for the purpose of an intelligence mission in this side of the original day district of gas in the province all mujahideen have taken down the

aircraft tactically incident comes as washington bids for a peace deal with the taliban after numerous failed talks the us has been at war in afghanistan for 19 years marred by hundreds of thousands of deaths and a trillion dollars spent to apparently no benefit for ports. what did they die for these men this is a war that has no hope of winning there are no illusions in the pentagon yet the 19 years they have said the lives of their own into the afghan grind.

trumps afghan strategy is simple and senseless ballman to hell literally in 2019 the pentagon dropped more bombs on afghans than in almost any given year in the last decade it's a tactic he wants peace so he does the all posit we are bringing some of our troops back but we have to have a presence yes we're now going to be there for close to 19 years it's time to bring them home great nations do not fight endless wars before the next presidential election in the united states would you expect we were do so produce their troops in afghanistan. that's my directive from the president knows that he's been an ambiguous and the endless wars are we looking for a total robot and you want to. see the afghan war is a blight all motion to it is an embarrassment all they have to show for 2 decades

of war is a loan least of dead americans dead civilians and the trillion dollars down the drain the only way to save face is to bury the truth the problem is there is a disincentive really to tell the truth we have. created an incentive to almost require or for people to la there's an odor of mendacity throughout the afghanistan issue and i know congressman connelly has heard me talk about this years ago mendacity and hoover us as i said there are no illusions washington knows full well that it is so screwed that afghanistan is a lost cause that they messed up as revealed by the afghan war papers in which officials in this osu rare moment in which their honest would trying to do

here we didn't have that focus newson wounded taking the risk of fundamental gap in distancing of the front and over stated objectives an overreliance in the military and the lack of understanding of the resources necessary and that in the hubris the ara gets it takes the more and more american troops to goo fight in a war that you know is a lost cause these hopeless look at parents voters in the eye and tell them that they kids died for a good cause to lie that they died for america in afghanistan we helped liberate an oppressed people. and we will continue helping them secure their country rebuild their society and educate all their children boys and girls. all that i set to defeat al qaeda and and i had a chance to rebuild is within reach and we're doing a tremendous job. and as you know

a big part of the job is isis certainly the biggest and al qaeda and we. we've got them down very low numbers donald trump has been saying for years he wants to get us out of afghanistan it doesn't seem to be doing that even though in principle he's the commander in chief he can give the order for them to leave and they will leave but i don't expect that to happen. so i think unfortunately we're stuck they are still for the foreseeable future and there isn't a whole lot in the way of a coherent mission that's stated for our being in afghanistan of the 1st place except i would say that the mission of being an afghanistan is essentially to stay in afghanistan he a footprint and a very strategic piece of ground in the middle of eurasia that triangle and has both our chinese and russian interests and that's the real purpose of being there the taleban perhaps respective or simply i do but annoyance. to. france's interior minister has announced the withdrawal from the police forces of the

notorious jail i asked for a grenade which has been responsible for seriously injuring numerous protesters. in this decision because they don't have any specific description of what happened months ago it was the police to use them to remove the threats. voluntarily pick them up and was seriously injured that's one thing we must remove the. authorities proposed to replace the controversial grenade with a new supposedly less dangerous type but there are many similarities both can cause injuries are equally loud and dispersed tear gas officials point out the banned grenade also disperses fragments new version does not and has a reduced shockwave a journalist was badly injured in the face while covering a yellow bus protest last year grenade explosion broke julian's a gas mask and his nose he warns that the with drawl from service of the glee at 4 is just a smokescreen. for grenades will

apparently be removed but i think that is because of the depleted stocks because its production was stopped in 2014 and so for is ending what they will be replaced with g.m. 2 l. which i fell victim to which appears to be just as strong as the. i have an example of a g.m. 2 well this is not the exact one but i picked up this grenade after i was hit this g.m. 2 l. grenade might be much more dangerous than the 4 because i was hit by debris even though i was more than 5 metres away from where it exploded this grenade produces the same detonation the same effect as the poor and i think it is equally dangerous . critics are also skeptical on the motivations for the government's move policing in chiefs no it's simply a bid for votes ahead of elections when a journalist again agrees that substance safety has nothing to do with the decision

. at the national assembly and people were trying to force their way in the police arrived and threw grenades one hit the guy's leg tried to push it away with his hands as a reflex reaction. i don't want to kiss anyone but my mother had been targeted and we wanted as a triss and did her justice. in my opinion they are pretending that they want to stop using this type of well replacing them with the other type of grenade i am not sure but i see this as the only reason just replace them because the others are depleted and because for

grenades are classified as a weapon of war i think. i think that cost and you is trying to say that it will be less dangerous to protests because he is removing the clear for what he forgot to say that rubber bullets will still be used and that rice controlled forces or violent as well and moreover that there are other grenades replacing the old ones there is also tier gas which is very bad for health. just. defeated 2016 us presidential candidate hillary clinton has accused facebook of intending to reelect trump this here that's after the pop form what she dubbed trumpy and refused to delete political ads them krauts claim they contain mr misinformation and lies and although clinton's not even running for president she seems reluctant to see it control of the party all quarter explains. she lost the primaries in 2008 she lost the election in 2016 despite having nearly every

advantage now hillary clinton's making excuses for the next presidential democratic ticket ahead of the game preemptively pinning the blame on facebook facebook is not just gary to be electro but intends to be electronic this is a global company that has huge influence in a way that we're only beginning to understand trampy and conspiracies might be a big external threat to the democrats and clinton's world but she's got more shade to throw at forces from within her own party like the socialist sensation from vermont he was in congress well yes he had one senate to support him nobody likes him nobody wants to work with him he got nothing done then there's the new democratic presidential candidate on the block gabbert clinton thinks she could be in bed with washington's favorite bogeyman the russians they've got their eye on somebody who's currently in the democratic primary and they're grooming her to be the 3rd party candidate she's the favorite of the russians they have

a bunch of sites and bought and other ways of supporting or so far the sure is a lot of blaming going on surrounding an election that hasn't even happened yet but it's no secret clinton's got an axe to grind she's been blaming anyone but herself ever since she lost the election in 2016 i was on the way to winning until the combination of jim commies letter on october 28th and russian wiki leaks raise doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me but got scared off i inherited nothing from the democratic party i mean nothing i mean it was bankrupt it was on the verge of insolvency if you look at facebook. the vast majority of the news news items posted were fake and there's all these stories about. you know guys over in macedonia who are running these fake news sites i also think i was the victim of

a very broad assumption i was going to when i would also add that the voter suppression that we now know had been in the works and really put into effect and then let's not forget sexism and an aside but if you think she's the past think again the d.n.c. just released its 2020 committee nominees those responsible for the party's ideological future and the vast majority are connected in one way or another to the defeated clinton carol browner appointed to the d.n.c. in 2016 by clinton but car resellers a surrogate for hillary clinton in 2016 craig smith senior advisor to clinton's campaign and let's not forget john podesta the controversial chairman of the clinton campaign itself who's a legit emails back in 2016 shed light on the inner workings of the clinton clan it's clear the clinton agenda lives on she doesn't even need to run for president again although would you be really surprised if she did why can't she lead goal

of her losing dare you go again thinking that she is hanging on to the fact that she lost a rigged election there you go again thinking that she cannot understand that she was simply voted out or that america said no don't you want your stand that it's natural for somebody who is. elevated to the self exalted role of the obvious candidate to believe that there was a conspiracy russian acting russian involvement facebook. or berg now i always thought and many people i know blah thought that he was part of the deep state that he was on her side he's against her what's happening right now is you're seeing the old school dnd see that you nancy pelosi has been trying

to control fighting against this new left movement there's a lot of progressives and young people who won this season who have no interest in joe biden but if you say who are the d.n.c. who who are democrats to there i'm telling you right now democrats are really 2 hours republican lights i know what i'm saying is absolutely heretical i know what i'm saying nobody believes this because you think most people think that there is this that america is against trump and pro impeachment most americans have no idea what's going on they worry about schools and crime and their children they have no interest in this they're just regular folks the 1st effort to charmes terms 2016 victory was from a report called the field dossier claiming the us president conspired with the kremlin however after its publication the report was proven to contain multiple

falsehoods now british author and intelligence expert nigel west who's examined the document and as a former colleague of its author notes the material is likely fabricated. i was commissioned by a lawyer in washington d.c. to see to examine the original so-called steel dossier and to conduct a forensic examination of the content which means going through it line by line looking at the attributions working out the value of each individual source and then coming to a conclusion the. publication had been much greater than i had suspected the beltway is a privately commission intelligence report it was written by a former british intelligence agent christopher steele in 2016 his company was hired to look into allegations of collusion between donald trump and moscow that

asked a claims that the russians have compromising material on turn obtained when he was in russia 7 years ago this so-called primary sub source a russian emigre real estate broker in the united states and he in effect distance and in self from the sourcing of the information and the really salacious material in relation to president trump he claims he received in a 10 to 15 minute telephone call from somebody who he didn't know an anonymous source and run him and gratuitously volunteered this information so none of this kind of material should appear. unless it's been validated that is the basis of intelligence reporting. deadly coronavirus continues to spread across china with the number of victims now at more than 100000

have been infected and almost 50000 people are now being monitored and iris has moved worldwide with cases uncovered in countries including the u.s. and canada authorities and medical staff have moved to take urgent preventative measures. i. mean. the world health organization has put the risk level at high the infection can be transmitted person to person and sips symptoms sometimes do not show up for days so

there is a threat of infecting others without even knowing it the main symptoms are fever cough and pneumonia outbreak began more than a month ago now almost all continents are now affected most cases of this are of course and asia including popular tourist hot spots like thailand and sri lanka 5 cases have been confirmed in the u.s. and european countries are also on alert our correspondent don of discussed the issue with. head of the laboratory of genomic engineering in moscow. how would you assess china's reaction to the very beginning of the outbreak because do you think that maybe if they were more quick if they weave their response i do is i do i do think that they wore. forward the beginning and even the actions the 1st stage that actually brought infected people in the regular hospital

course but still got infected by everybody so it's actually was a bit unprofessional i would say but they learned a. lesson. from what a she in china training you doing really great job and i wonder too. i don't know borders between provinces and. thrown into towns and cities with a border and it's really difficult to order i would say that if wireless is the walked in china was the countries for now would be. safe and now because chinese doing really great job and i hope they're not panicking by this cure it. for now we are actually expecting 2nd wave very important to. prevent fractions right now because it is

so kind with actually. coming in right now how long does it usually take and what could extend the waiting time for the world's waiting time for a vaccine actually very. proud so. the plan sounds a whole but the situation we can release folks in 3 months even we wouldn't react it could go really bad for human populations so we have to react. and we have all capabilities to do this is. a professor at the university of tehran and a frequent guest on this channel has had his facebook and instagram account suspended and what seems to be a continuation of the pop forums campaigns to silence a pro iranian voices professor said $100.00 randi told us facebook's claims that he violated its community standards were just

family were unemployed working class and it wasn't it was bed you know much worse objective listen today but there was an expectation of the things were going to get better. there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america where shape my the turn principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduced democracy attack solid doubt engineer elections. when you fracture consent another prince holds according to no on. one set of rules for the rich opposite. that's what happens when you put her into the. narrow schecter of will switch rule is dedicated to increasing power for chills just as you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america.
