hopes of peace in afghanistan as the u.s. and the taliban stein a deal to end america's longest war washington expects to remove all of its troops from the country in the next 14 months after almost 2 decades of conflict and thousands of lives lost. migrants clash with greek police on the country's border with turkey fast and pregnancy would no longer prevent refugees from heading to you . as the french government announces it will push through a controversial pension reform by decree bypassing all the modes that move is prompting a new wave of protests in the country. a

very warm welcome you're watching our c international with me anything erin now our top story the u.s. and the taliban have signed a peace deal which is expected to finally bring washington's longest ever war to an end but the agreement is already finding itself on shaky grounds while president trump has even said he won't hesitate to send u.s. troops right back if necessary. bad things happen we'll go back that people will go back and go back so fast it will go back with a force like nobody's ever seen the peace deal the taliban's pledge to prevent terrorists from operating in the areas it controls and they've also promised to enter into talks with the afghan government in march as the washington it's promising to review sanctions on the taliban and will begin withdrawing their troops in stages if all goes well in a little over a get no u.s. or nato forces will remain in the country the scale of more pain looks at how much america has lost in the war and what is achieved in the end. back in 2003 u.s.

officials were telling a story of success when it came to afghanistan listen to donald rumsfeld we're at a point where we clearly have moved from major combat to a period of stability as to blues asian and reconstruction activities the bulk of this country today is permissive and secure it is clear that that is the case by virtue of the fact that we see people returning to their country from all across the globe in large numbers but 17 years and 4 presidential terms later one of the great powers of military history sinus peace deal with the taliban warlords they've been fighting all this time and the peace treaty looks an awful lot like outright surrender so 1st we have to be realistic and proud of our gains but our generals have determined that this war is unlikely to be won militarily without tremendous additional resources all sides are tired of fighting for the past years you've heard nothing but reports of progress u.s. officials were singing

a happy song and also replacing one another we're making progress right now an array of areas that are critical to our combined success with afghanistan the progress is real and importantly that progress is sustainable make no mistake the progress there i think is very roles my cessna mistake and it's very substantial 2016 has been a significant year for afghanistan and progress has been made but this was all just hype documents reveal interviews with people that were actually on the ground and the material ironically labeled less than warrant seems to present a narrative of the u.s. defeat in afghanistan the operation is described as a self looking ice cream cone u.s. officials giving reports of progress we're telling bold faced lie the problem is there is a disincentive really to tell the truth we have created an incentive to almost require or for people to law there is an odor of men das it.

throughout the afghanistan issue and i know congressman connelly has heard me talk about this years ago mendacity in who bruce the original plan was to defeat al qaeda in afghanistan and overthrow the taliban that was sheltering al qaeda all of that was arguably achieved but then washington moved on to the nation building phase at a cost of billions of dollars and at that point it starts to look like no one had a clue what they were doing would trying to do here we didn't have the full goose newsham that would ruin the taking there is a fundamental gap of understanding of the front end of the stated objectives. in the military and the lack of understanding of the resources necessary and then the drone started flying many instances of success were recorded on that front but in many instances things also went terribly wrong.

somewhere along the way it seems like some folks have just had enough in the coming months all announced the next phase of our drawdown and by the end of next year america's war in afghanistan will be over needless to say it was not over a trillion dollars spent and over $4000.00 u.s. military personnel and contractors killed and at this point the taliban still controls a little less than half of the country and under the new peace deal the taliban will be part of the new government they'll be in the government just like they were you know before the u.s. invasion caleb r.t. new york however there are genuine concerns that some of the criteria for the plan will be difficult to me we discuss the issue with respect to analysts in the sense

of a conflict in pace studies in afghanistan. i am like other optimistic but in the mean the same time cautious about it because you know there are. things on all sides that the americans and the taliban need to do in the afghan government has to do in if you look at the timeline it just really seems some point and realistic for example releasing up to $5000.00 taliban detainees from the afghan custody by march which is 10 days from now or preparing the afghan government to sit across from from the taliban in negotiate and start the interim one dialogue while we don't even have a proper negotiation team on the other side like if you talk about taliban going after transnational elements and jihad this that are seeking safe thing trees in afghanistan that also seems unrealistic because there are elements hard core elements within the group that will not allow that to happen so i think the deal is

in the deliverable is really difficult at some point to meet but the fact that it's signed is a success. there follows a week long reduction in violence that was agreed between the 2 sides however many afghans believe peace should have been reached years ago. we hope this peace deal will be permanent not like before i wish this peace deal of been signed 10 years ago thousands of our people were killed many more wounded disabled and also many women were widowed. killed we're happy about the u.s. dollar bill and peace agreements but i wish the species deal had been signed when the u.s. came to ghana stern but now it is also not to wait we called the tower burn to stop the conflict you want the us to leave our country as soon as possible. push out into the us we will be happy if the deal brings peace but i wish this peace deal had been signed 10 years ago because back then most of our brothers and sisters

hadn't lost part of their bodies and they were well i myself lost my leg in a bomb explosion. and the conflict so that we. can live in peace we were born in war and we don't want to be healed by the war anymore. the u.s. invasion of afghanistan was launched in response to the $911.00 attacks it was aimed at defeating al qaeda and toppling the taliban which hard at the terrorists but 18 years all on it's the longest war in u.s. history and 1st the campaign was victorious within a month the taliban and al qaeda has mostly been defeated there and the afghan interim administration was a stop list however it took 10 years to track down and kill al qaeda is founder and leader washington still has thousands of troops deployed in afghanistan which account for half of all international troops there we spoke to a 911 survivor who believes the long lasting war is not the so-called justice they

wanted. well mixed feeling number one because as a survivor of 911 we when they're looking for osama bin laden and. with the taliban was basically they were supporting al qaeda both at the same time you know we killed osama bin laden many years ago we should have been having this occupation for so long as a survivor i didn't need these actually we didn't have remember when we were going to war we went to places we were in you know gary stern and then we went to iraq and iraq didn't have anything to do with 911 and they tried to hold us the idea that the they were actually people we walked with that it wasn't so of the same way of what we're doing right here you know in afghanistan we were in the year with the main purpose that main purpose was a change of attitude viber i won the award to win and not only because of the people that we lost but of the people that were killed in the process because there

were many civilians that were killed in afghanistan do we know our occupation of the contrary. about 47000 migrants have crossed turkey's border with the e.u. the turkish interior minister has confirmed greece and bulgaria which border turkey have sent reinforcements to their borders to prevent people crossing greek police have been deterring attempts to close with tear gas as you g.'s have been seen throwing stones at officers at the boundary between the 2 countries we caught or as he's claimed they've blocked 4000 people from entering illegally become saudi after that turkish president announced his country will no longer to this board is to. know. what we did is we opened our borders because you promised us assistance but you did nothing and we will not close these doors because the e.u. must keep its word. we are strengthening our forces on land and that see additional

pull you tsunami for. forces are being transferred the government does determined to do whatever is necessary to save god all borders what was referring to was the 2016 deal with the e.u. to stop the refugee flow to europe in exchange for financial aid the sense repeatedly accuse the bloc of failing to honor its part of the deal but it's only now that he's gone from words to action. the turkish president took action following a spike in tension in syria's last remaining terrorist stronghold italy a province ankara claimed 33 turkish soldiers were killed in an air raid this week by the syrian army now says the region is an gulf with intense fighting between the turkish backed militants there and the syrian army supported by russia moscow claims turkey failed to separate the terrorists from the moderate opposition furthermore it says turkey initially confirmed its forces were not in the area something expected later tonight jealous downright a dimitrius constant accomplice believes greece has become the victim of turkey's

blackmail campaign against europe. hugo. was not only shown to. be there to come to grief. surely he could use it to ground this is all the information with. sound. of fish and even guns how you know mr. to put pressure on the european union in order for you your union to give it. to them to stop all of whom. do. on the other hand. the european union british and not think. it is an honor to be anybody should be gorgeous i would offer. you. beans and additional shower problem but i have shaking all of those.

seem to eat. this shows a lot of the capacity to do it greece has already issued to an enormous number of refugees and it's a very bad shape because it would be our callers which were important needed by each european in 5 minutes. the french prime minister has announced a controversial pension reform will be adopted without a vote in the national assembly the move has caused outrage in paris where dozens of gathered in front of the parliament condemning the government's decision police forces were quick to react and scuffles broke out as they tried to disperse the crowd government's decision has led to the opposition presenting a motion of censure in parliament so if the motion is adopted the proposed law will fail and the government must resign the motion must be debated within 48 hours the pension reform has sparked massive protests recently.

the now how our. was a her. publisher and journalist a marriage morning vale things the french system isn't adaptable enough to resolve the country's problems. to cause or deals with the commitments of responsibility which are allows the executive branch to to to force have passage of of of a text message the opposition introduces a motion of no confidence which has little chance of passing we can see that we have a very. very authoritarian constitution and that was designed to prevent the divisions of the french as a result of the general in the war because in addition to this article 49 dr 3 we have the article 16 which gives powers to the presidents in the events of the

crisis or the cost constitutionally saw authoritarian that it makes the power to too rigid and unable to adapt itself and today the i think the leaves of explodes and we find the old editions of the french we are only a country of civil wars of a religious war was in in a sense the french revolution is not over and we are about to enter into really complicated types i think. that appeals court made us rules in favor of you but important phrase speech case 2004. join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

the point is should we actually be charging for it because this is when we charge for things is because it's been a benefit to the person who's buying it and that's the audiology took over education about 30 or 40 years ago but the perspective of education was originally that education is a benefit for saudi in general i wouldn't want to live in a society without doctors or engineers all saw what happened without economists. saying it of being a profit benefit ignoring the public means that we're ignoring that the skill bias we need for a sophisticated society and putting the burden of that skill on the individuals what we turned it into is just now the trying institution of higher education become a form a version of a real estate scam that is not devices for a functional saudi.

nuclear become a battleground in the us in vermont people lived among the shutdown of the local plant from yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous oh no care power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limits this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where is it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of a traditional participatory democracy as are power lie with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways a struggle. welcome back russia is currently celebrating the end of winter the so-called muslim it's

a holiday which marks the start of spring often includes the burning of a store effigy and this year one festival in a town a few hours from moscow has taken things even further this bridge made of wood and straw was the winning creation from an international competition and after months of preparation it was consumed by flames in just a matter of hours russia's muslim it's a festival normally lost so we can see as people across the country are enjoying a range of festivities while eating lots of traditional pancakes northug celebration of lent follows after. what's been dubbed a landmark case the court has ruled that you tube is allowed to censor content on his platform they want a legal fight against the media company praga university which argued it should be able to post what it wants on the basis of free speech on the 1st amendment addressing the 1st amendment claims the panel held that despite you tube ubiquity and its role as a public facing platform it remains a private form not

a public forum subject to judicial scrutiny under the 1st amendment in the lawsuit praga you claimed you tube violated the 1st amendment when some of its videos were deleted from the platform and suggested youtube was guilty of false advertising for presenting itself as a platform for free speech the company believes its clips were banned because of the conservative nature of the contents but the court rejected their claims. egypt said it had restricted access to some of the video group's videos because they were inappropriate for younger audiences the court's decision new chips parents company google stress there was no political bias involved and prodding these claims were meritless that's progress he maintains the tech company has become dangerously powerful. so it appears as if even the 9th circuit is afraid of goliath google we're not done fighting for free speech and we will keep pushing forward this is a significant decision because the effect of it is that the court of appeal

the state being that social media companies such as google and facebook have arrived to make a decision. walt people are going to be exposed to the reach of those companies is unprecedented but we ducked reach day it's not been an equivalent in imposition of responsibility the risk of course is that those companies will be able to control the political agenda so in order for this to change the rules be a need for additional laws to be to be brought in in order to ensure that social media companies are not placed in a position where there are effectively controlling the entire political system. was saying the wrong thing on social media these days always seems to trigger

a back last year taylor looks takes a look at some of the woke and outrage that's been happening this week. dear diary what a wreak of distressing stories this is new evidence suggesting that back in the seventy's buddy was a loony rate front. of disappointment on his visit to india donald trump managed to . every single engine that came his way and alexandra because there cortez were $500.00 sequined dress during the day but the thing that really got my anxiety levels peaking was this tweet to be so. that someone somewhere is doing the shoe joyousness of these people who seem to hold these plates. should be kept as far away from cultural power as possible joylessness is this a joke this is a classic case of conservative debbie downer is raining on our parade there's also

no evidence to support it. yes ok the university of arizona is basically begging students to run each other out effect being aggressive progress of triggering insensitive well. i know some would say that fosters an environment of power noir censorship and soul sucking depression but i just don't see it and yes a school in seattle said easter egg should be renamed spring spheres a spring spirit hunt count me in my past you think it's got a real fun bring to it. but you're going completely out of order. it isn't funny. i'm sure i did read about how now it's not ok to expect people to turn up sometime because in some cultures time is a fluid concept who knew i just hope for the people who signed up for this lesson

in the troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage through parts of northern ireland that was coordinated loyalist attacks protect the only population tens of thousands were forced to flee their homes to put these attacks was a p.r. you see the police actually took part in the attacks so instead of preventing it they were active participants in the burning of full streets in belfast at the take more than a 100 innocent civilians women. as the review can seniors and we found out more i was surprised about the extent and its occurrence which the collusion was involved in some of those cases the killers would later be named. in the gang i think it went to the very very top i think it is the focus of.

the water where all the taste you on and give the go ahead. i am max keiser this is the kaiser report maxim states you are in las vegas a lot of political things are happening here let's get the lowdown states well we are in political season max in fact when you and i landed here in las vegas who was on the runway the president doesn't show him literally on the runway but is plane air force one was on the runway and that was our meeting our arrival here in las vegas saying air force one again within a 2 or 3 times on our travels and it's very impressive it's a great prop when you're running for president and that's some of the all that what

you have when you are president is the bully pulpit and that's going to weigh heavily in this 2020 election well in the nevada debates there was something that bernie sanders said on stage when he was you know going back and forth with mayor bloomberg when mayor bloomberg imploded on stage you know they were talking about billionaires and the problem with billionaires 'd and should billionaires exist i tweeted that i said is the u.s. federal reserve bernie you co-sponsored an audit the fed bill talk about the cantillon effect how did bloomberg go from a net worth of $3000000000.20 to $60000000000.00 in 2020 at least half of that gain in my opinion is from q.e. the problem is that nobody really knows anything about money so it's hard to explain money i remember back on this very show 7 or 8 years ago when we talked to activist groups like greenpeace about the money they had 100000000 euros in the

bank and i was explaining to them you know the bank is just using that to lend it to exxon and in fact by you keeping the money in the bank you're doing a lot of damage that you say you're trying. fight against but they the respondent from the head of greenpeace was well nobody understands money you know we can't really it corporate that in our in our material or descriptive of what we do because it's too confusing and same thing with certainly the democrats i mean the republicans have a reputation as knowing a little more about money than the democrats but the democrats are always very confusing and so bernie sanders is just out of a tradition he's talking about socialism which again is a it's a it's a model based on a in comprehensible. non existant theory about money you know this is obviously a theme over and over on kaiser report of the role of central banks in sowing. chaos and discord that the democrats and their media

keep on blaming on other nations so that cantillon effect which allows you know the printing of money that inflates asset prices like stock prices like bond prices like real estate prices especially at those the closer you are to the money printers and there's no bigger money printer than the new york fed so if you live near the new york fed your properties going to be expanding paris london all the big cities across the world hong kong maybe hong kong as might be falling apart now but that money printing is what is causing that sense of injustice of an in there thinking it's an economic injustice when in fact it's an a monetary injustice that is happening so i want to turn to this other thread that kind of went viral and you know it's one guy's take on.
