you're watching our to international bring you your lines news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program the u.s. has confirmed it's investigating a pentagon plane crash in the eastern afghan province of the on monday everyone on board this surveillance aircraft which was carrying military personnel and high ranking cia officers was killed the plane burst into flames and came down and a mountainous area the pentagon says it cannot confirm whether it was brought down by enemy fire seemingly contradicting the taliban statement. a u.s. bombardier 11 a crash today in gaza a province afghanistan while the cause of crash is under investigation there are no indications the crash was caused by enemy fire a special way a graft of the american occupier was flying on their roof for the purpose of an

intelligence mission in the side of the. district of gas in the province all mujahideen have taken down the aircraft tactically the 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 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 bomb them 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 and great nations do not fight endless wars before the next presidential election in the united states would you expect we were do so reduce their troops in afghanistan. that's my directive from the press the united states has been unambiguous and the endless wars are we looking for a total role but we want to. see the afghan war is a bright all motion to it is an embarrassment all they have to show for 2 decades

of war is alone 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 so almost to require or for people to law there is an. holder 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 these 2 super rare moment in which their honest would trying to do here we didn't have the focus newson the would ruin the taking the risk of

fundamental gap of understanding of the front end of the stated objectives and overreliance in the military and the lack of understanding of the resources necessary and that in the hubris the arrogance it takes the more and more american troops to go fight in a war that you know is a lost cause these hopeless 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 there isn't will all lot in the way of a coherent mission that stated for our being in afghanistan of the 1st place except i would say that the mission or being out in assam is essentially to stay in afghanistan a footprint and a very strategic piece of ground in the middle of eurasia that charlotte is our

chinese and russian interests and that's the real purpose of being there the taleban perhaps respect that we're simply not about annoyance. friends interior minister has announced that withdrawal from police forces have been a tourist gly africa an aid which has been responsible for seriously entering numerous protesters. j.p. said in this decision because they don't have any specific description of what happened moments ago it was the police used to remove the threads. of the most serious news and that's why i think we must the. authorities proposed to replace the controversial grenade with a new supposedly less dangerous type but there are many similarities between the 2 both can cause injuries are equally loud and spray tear gas officials point out the banned grenade also dispersed as fragments the new version does not and has a reduced shockwave if a journalist was badly injured in the face while covering

a yellow best protest last year or an 8 explosion of broken julian's gas mask and his notice he warns the withdrawal from service of the gly f. or 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. 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 ones on that i picked up this grenade after i was hit this g.m. to el grenade might be much more dangerous to the nuclear 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 poor and i think it is equally dangerous. critics are also skeptical of the motivations for the

government's move policing in chiefs no it's simply a bid for votes ahead of elections with the government under public pressure to accusations of police brutality and excessive use of force. 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. i don't want to kiss anyone but my mother said she had been targeted and we want to know as a triss and did her justice. in my opinion they are pretending they want to stop using this type of well replacing

it with the other type of i am not sure but i see this as the only reason to just replace them because the others are depleted and because for grenades are classified as a weapon of war i think. i think the cost and you're trying to say that it will be less dangerous to protest because he is removing the clear for what he forgot to say that rubber bullets will still be used and that rice control forces or violent as well and moreover that there are other grenades replacing the old there is also tear gas which is very bad for help. just. defeated 2016 us presidential candidate hillary clinton has accused facebook of intending to re-elect trump this year as after the pop form what she dubbed trumpy and refused to delete political ads democrats claim the ads are misinformation and life and all the clinton's not even running for president she seems reluctant to see control of the party 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 trumpy 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 i inherited nothing from the democratic party would mean nothing i mean it was bankrupt it was on the verge of insolvency 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 a sob but if you think she's the past think again the d.n.c.

just released. it's 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 reseller's 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 birth 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 offer to 2016 victory it was from a report called the steel dossier claimed the us president conspired with the kremlin however after its publication the report was repeatedly proven to contain multiple falsehoods now british intelligence expert and former m.p. nigel west has examined the document and still personally it claims much of the material was 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 as wes just mentioned he was hired by a republican law firm back in 2017 to look into the dossier closely it was written by former british intelligence agency agent christopher steele in 2016 his company was hired by the d.n.c. to look into allegations of collusion between donald trump and moscow and us a claims that russia has compromising material on trauma from when he was in the country 7 years ago west again says much of the report sources haven't been validated this so-called primaries 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 being found at a change that is the basis of intelligence reporting. still to come on the program and our team guests apparently falls victim to the us social media purge i mean reining in voices that story and more after the short break. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the

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 forms campaign to silence pro iranian voices professor say it mohammad marandi told us facebook's claims that he violated its community standards were just a pretext i can't think of anything that i have published that would be. unacceptable the images the statements the. links that i put on no there is no everything everything is on twitter actually more active on twitter than i am on facebook my twitter account is their friend who want 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. his suspension coincides with the taking down of the
