the u.s. denies taliban claims it brought down a pentagon plane in afghanistan the incident is complicating hopes for a peace deal after 19 years of war. also this our friend spans a notorious police grenade responsible for numerous civilian injuries the critics say it's a political move ahead of the election. and hillary clinton lashes out at facebook for quote intending to reelect donald trump all keeping everyone but herself accountable for 2016 u.s. presidential election defeat. i always thought and many people i know a lot thought that he was part of the deep state that he was on her side he's against her.

you're watching our chief international coming to you live from the russian capital worth just turned 9 am 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 and the statement the pentagon insists there are no indications that the crash was caused by enemy fire however a taliban spokesperson appeared to confirm responsibility. especially a graft of the american or cuba. route for the purpose of a mission in this. district. a 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 by gusty it has more. 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 the tactic he wants peace so he does the all present 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 our troops in afghanistan. that's my directive from the president knows that he's been an ambiguous and the endless wars are you looking for a total robot when 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

a 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 who bruce 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 the focus newson would ruin the taking the risk of fundamental gap of understanding 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 older more and more american troops to goo fight in a war that you know is a lost cause these hopeless to 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 tonight 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

him 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 are stuck they are still for the foreseeable future and there isn't a whole lot in the way of a coherent vision 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 trammell and has both chinese and russian interests and that's the real purpose of being there the taleban perhaps back that were simply i've been annoyance. france's interior minister has announced the withdrawal from police forces of the notorious glee at foreign aid which has been responsible for seriously injuring and numerous protesters. j.p.

said this decision because they don't have any specific description and some months ago it was the police used to remove the threads. the most seriously injured and that's why i think we must the. authorities proposed to replace the controversy like rene do with a new supposedly less dangerous one but there are many similarities both can cause injuries are equally allowed and spray tear gas officials point out the banned grenade also disperses fragments and the new version does not and has a reduced shockwave a journalist was badly injured in the face while covering a yellow bus part test last year around 8 explosions broke julian's gas mask and his nose he warns the withdrawal from the service a big 4 is just a smokescreen. for grenades will apparently be removed but i think that is because of the depleted stocks because its

production stopped in 2014 and so for is ending what they will be replaced with g.m. 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 ones on that i picked up this grenade after i was hit this g.m. to el grenade might be much more dangerous than the force 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 kids and i think it is equally dangerous. critics are also skeptical on the motivations for the government's move placing in chiefs no it's simply a bid for votes ahead of elections when a journalist giuliana again agrees that citizen 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 he tried to push it away with his hands as a reflex reaction. they don't want anyone but my mother said she 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 we're in a swell replacing them with the other type of 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 yet he is trying to say that it will be less dangerous to protests because he is removing the clean air for which he

forgot to say that rubber bullets will still be used at that price control forces or violent as well and moreover that there are other grenades replacing the old ones there is also tear gas which is very bad for help. defeated 2016 us presidential candidate hillary clinton has accused facebook of intending to re-elect trump this year that's up to the pop 4 and what she does trump ian refused to delete political ads democrats claim they contain misinformation and lies and although clinton's not even running for president she seems reluctant to seem control of the party a 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 and 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 would 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 assad but if you think she is 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 carr 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 there 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 dns see that you nancy pelosi has been trying to control fighting against this new left move 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 challenge strums 2016 victory was from a report called the steel dossier claiming the us president conspired with the kremlin however after its publication the report was found to have multiple falshood now british author and intelligence expert nigel west who's examined the document and is a former colleague of its author that's 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 dossier as a privately commissioned intelligence report as written by former british intelligence agent christopher steele in 2016 his company was hired to look into allegations of coalition between donald trump and moscow but also a claims that russia has compromising material on trauma from when he was in the country 7 years ago west again says none of the reports sources have been validated so-called primary sub source

a russian emigre real estate broker in the united states and he in effect distance and self from the sourcing of the information and the really salacious material they were relating 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 i say is the basis of intelligence reporting. still to come in the program china confirms new coronavirus victims as countries step up cautionary measures to tell top to the sharp right.

i would hope to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want. to going to be pros which is what before 3 of them or 10 people. into studios and the wives. going becomes a passer mechanism right so they buy back their own stock with cheap money from the fed and it goes through the company ostensibly to help the company but it's not it's it's disenfranchising the company and then on the other side of the executives who are getting that money from the fed directly into their pocket they use the company as a passer mechanism so what happens is it leads to incredible malinvestment so boeing now is no longer a viable company. welcome

the new coronavirus cluster was 1st identified in the chinese city of that name last month the world health organization has put the risk at level high infection can be transmitted person to person and systems 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 ammonia the outbreak began more than a month ago now and if we take a look at the map we can see that almost all continents are now affected most cases are in asia of course 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 either style have

discussed the issue with probable cause of head of the laboratory of genomic nearing 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 war is forward to begin even if they are actions the 1st stage that actually brought infected people in their regular course but. of course but still got infected like 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 to. borders between provinces and. thrown into towns affected seaters with

a border and it's really difficult to order i would say that if wireless is the walked in china was a country for now would be. safe and now because chinese doing really great job and i hope they're not running in but. for now we are actually expecting the 2nd wave very important to take all prevent fractions right now because it is the 2nd wave is actually. coming in right now how long does it usually take and what could extend the waiting time that the world's waiting time for a vaccine actually very. broad. the band sounds a how but the situation we can release folks in 3 months even we wouldn't react it

would go really bad folk human population so we have to read you're in we're always and we have all capabilities to do this. in other news from around the world this hour is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu is on a visit to washington d.c. israeli leader arrived on sunday the white house unveiling what it calls the deal of the century and is really pasta me and hostilities a plan will be laid out on tuesday with netanyahu already bringing terms initiatives historic for the new peace plan hasn't gone down well with palestinians who warn it contradicts international law and threatens their rights. and mass protesters have far projectiles riot police trying to clear rallies in the center of baghdad demonstrators are demanding an end to be. in the country 12 people have died and hundreds more wounded in 3 days of escalating violence.

facebook my twitter account is there for anyone to see if anyone who wants to see what i've read they can look at twitter and see if what i've written is dangerous or not. this is mention coincides with the taking down of the international website of independent iranian news agency farce after it apparently fell foul of us think sions pars added it had received a message from its server company which said the site had been blocked on u.s. orders and another case this month press t.v. an english language t.v. network based in the iran had its you tube account removed staff at the tehran funded channel so it was taken down without warning or explanation you tube though did later restore the page said mohammad marandi again told us it's far from the 1st time he's faced such treatment from social media while they were suspended on the number of occasions for photos including a photo of myself during the iran iraq war it was a minister spend it for

a couple of months and then again for a photo that i put up for one of my commanders during the war who was seriously ill because of the chemical weapons ironically the chemical weapons that the united states and the europeans gave to saddam hussein i was also again my account was suspended for that and on the couple of other occasions for similar reasons and then just suddenly the whole account was disabled without any explanation all together and i'm not even very active on facebook i mean the what i put on my twitter account i put the same on facebook and. the intolerance is on the rise in the united states and in the west towards any alternative use. that's our global news wrap up for now but i'll be back at the top of the hour thanks for tuning in.

just as you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america. i actually don't think monopolies per se are the problem it's monopolistic access to credit or to politicians and probably both the crony financial ism crony capitalism that's the big problem. trade and investment to become magic spells to economic development. most people think about trade they think about goods and services being exchanged between

countries and the in fast chapter of a trade agreement is about something very different but won't win investment leads to toxic manufacturing that destroys secrets of the environment. that means local communities that are being poisoned and jack if they do anything that the company feels is interrupting their profits they can do serious. national zoo taking on the whole nation philip morris is trying to use i.d.'s to stop the oregon by implementing new tobacco regulations aimed at cutting domestic smoking rates a fringe company sued egypt because egypt resists minimum wage and democratic choice of a trump cool bridge will join us as we try to find one of the 2. and
