off the referred of the country declares itself to be l d t for you. live from moscow to you thanks for joining us here in our international i'm daniel hawkins good to have you with us this hour. and we start with breaking news coming in afghan police say that at least 3 people have been killed 11 others wounded in an explosion at a football stadium in the eastern province of course no one has claimed responsibility for the attack but earlier on monday the taliban said it would resume operations against the country's security forces so if the president got he refused to commit fully to the terms of a peace deal between the united states and the islamist group. the reduction in violence has ended now and operations will continue as normal as per the us taliban agreement or mujahideen will not attack foreign forces but operations will continue

against the kabul administration forces the deal stipulated that the government in kabul would release $5000.00 taliban members from prison in turn the group pledge the free $1000.00 government detainees but president garny has said that the swap must not be a precondition for interim peace talks under the accord us troops will be withdrawn from the country over 14 months subject to the taliban's compliance looking at the increasingly fragile deal here's saskia taylor. 18 here is $1.00 trillion dollars over $150000.00 dead for raf gonna start in the us the road to peace has been long bloody costly but a new dawn is on the horizon and it's being hailed as a victory we will be. there for them. if you know you're right or there's already today even if. they need force to get it

because i'm sure. that her reading comprehension is for the cheese this is for peace i need you but i'm going to. the deal signed by washington and the taliban has promised to bring to a close what seemed and on ending a war my times many thought it wouldn't happen the deal has come off to 18 months of pulling and tugging of head shakes and walking away but in doha the paper was finally signed and it seemed to be one of those rest situations where in parties involved were happy well almost all because apparently someone forgot to ask the afghan government what its take was fun spoiler a lot it's got a few concerns the in could barely dry it on the deal when the afghan president vetoed a key clause the release of 5000 taliban militants as part of a prisoner swap. there is no commitment to release $5000.00 prisoners i have shared

this with dr colleagues this is the right and the decision of the people of afghanistan they have requested it so it could be included in the agenda of the interim afghan talks but it cannot be a prerequisite for talks. now this is not a side note to the deal it is in fact to the condition on which intra afghan peace talks will start a veto the full threatens to bring this entire thing grinding to a halt. president gone his reaction there shows how washington has missed the point here that signing the piece of paper is ironically the easiest pot and the promising prisoners which on yours is as unhelpful as dropping dumond's that the taliban officially recognize gone his government about a gun a government was not even invited to the negotiations and when they participate the only principle. not as a government representatives because ordinary afghans and that in itself is

a very significant indication of how the situation was developed president gunner said this we have been fighting. for about 80 to 90 percent of the. battles have been waged by afghan troops so very simply. means that paul obama or anybody else have to do with government so this is maybe one of the hurdles many murders down the road but let's not forget the u.s. is an old hound pretending to be the peacemakers even when it's cause the mess in the fast place and with an action just around the coup want to trump probably wouldn't be against adding to his eye make great things happen rhetoric sure has middle east of the central us the boom and kim jong un isn't quite ready to step away from his nuclear rockets but trump got his photos and it seems he's already eyeing up his next money shots be meeting personally with taliban leaders in the

not too distant future. and we'll be. very much hoping that they will be doing what they say they're going to be doing they will be killing terrorists when in doubt sign a deal pose for a photo then crown jewel south victor leave others to figure out the logistics tried and tested. engines continue to rise on the border between greece and turkey where a buildup of moderates is being described by athens as a threat to its national security on its border with the e.u. on saturday prompting thousands of people to head to greece is the broad extra soldiers that is vowing to increase the deterrent as violent clashes broke out between police and migrants

'd. i. agree. with. and in my mind this isn't me go away when during one country. well many migrants have also been attempting to reach greece but according to reports at least a 1000 have reached the country. in the past day alone one child died off the coast of last boss earlier this monday. carrying moderates from the turkish coast capsized it's all about has more on the crisis. well the very latest we have on

this unfolding situation comes from the turkish leader mr. president saying that at the moment as it stands hundreds of thousands of refugees and migrants of crossed the border from turkey towards greece or making their way into wards greece he says that will eventually become millions the doors are now all now you will have to take your share of the burden hundreds of thousands have crossed soon it will reach millions or here in germany the state of bavaria is speed expressing their well the happiness with turkey they say that is just attempting to try and squeeze more money out of the european union and that they using this current wave of of migrants and refugees as a all an attempt to blackmail the european union we need a quick political solution it is clear that we must not allow ourselves to be blackmailed by turkey that's a sentiment that really being echoed in greece athens has suspended all asylum

applications for the next month at least greece the greek government anyway says that turkey is using these refugees and migrants as pawns in an attempt to gain more diplomatic power turkey's decision to to allow their these refugees and migrants to move towards greece came in and an increase in violence on their southern border with syria as fighting increases in northern syria. turkey says they just can't handle the sheer numbers of people that are currently seeking refuge in their country but turkey's actions in opening their border well that goes against the 26 deal that they struck with the european union in which case that turkey would accept to how millions of refugees in exchange for financial aid.

now the french president emmanuel makana stepped in saying his country is willing to provide help full solidarity with greece and bulgaria france is ready to contribute to european efforts to give them rapid assistance and protect the borders we must act together to avoid a humanitarian and migration crisis the european council president charles michel is expected to visit the region very soon alongside the greek prime minister to assess what's going on on the ground as europe tries to get together its response to turkey's decision to open its borders to refugees and migrants in a situation which is beginning to look increasingly similar to that which we saw in 2015 a study of skin or blue is an m.e.p. for greece's series of party he believes the e.u. must change of strategy towards turkey. beautiful day good morning specifically because you know another just given the billions of euros to mr and the land to take care of for the refugees but the now the problem right now the momentum.

of the ground. kind of payment syria and that's why he wants more support to from nato and the european union which is blackmailing usually is dutch way i mean he suddenly after the use of forces were both in syria you know decided to drop of the bloggers and said to introduce you to europe but you know digital human beings they're not you know lake water where it exists or operate in and the globes in the divine it's you know it's more than that and huge not huge and. here huge using the rivers as that but of course again she's taking over the answers of the you know sort of color her stand of the european union. there's been a backlash against sexual minority rights in poland where a 3rd of municipalities have declared themselves l d b

t free zones so the demons he looks at how the move clashes with the why didn't he use cornerstone ethos of shared european values. in its simplest terms the idea of the e.u. is one of many countries working together under one umbrella towards a common landscape yet you don't have to scratch far below the surface to find divisions what seems to be becoming more clearly etched is the divide between the west and the east in the latest round of disconnect between the values of the east and west the focus has turned to l g b t rights anti l g b t sentiment has been on the rise in poland.

now in poland nearly $100.00 miscible local governments have a claimed himself to be free from l g b t ideology covering an area that some say is up to a 3rd of the country it follows a come pain by poland's ruling norton justice party which declared this type of ideology was an invasive foreign influence that undermines traditional values the european commission has been quick to react we cannot allow the distribution of algae b.t.i. free zones take us or they'd option of. resolutions and not feel responsible for the next phase where physical attacks that take place even if they are then carried out by other people one french town was so incensed by the backward nature of anti l.g. p.t. writes after 25 years of being twinned with the polish town it's taken drastic

action and suspended ties francis committed to calm things human rights violations based on sexual orientation. but the ties that unite our 2 suiters through an oath of winning should be tainted with the position taken by twins. but in poland there is real concern about the promotion of l g b t ideology of the shore themselves too much these people the people have been round all the time and they didn't boast about it i did a child can grew up in a normal gay family have 2 fathers or 2 mothers have a good indication travel around the world no languages and very good and interest and very soon you get your children grow up in a family have a fire then a mother i know this from my own experience one recent poll found the biggest threat concerning young polish men was the l g b

t movement and gender ideology and it's not just an issue in poland at a recent festival in croatia residents were filmed cheering the burning of an effigy of a gay couple. the annual review by the european of the international lesbian gay bisexual trans and into sex association also accuse several other countries of growing official hate speech by government officials countries singled out included belgariad the czech republic hungary and slovakia in hungary for example it said that there was a decrease in the social acceptance of homosexuality. the eurobarometer 2019 found that hungary was one of a handful of e.u. countries where the social acceptance of l.g.b. people has decreased since 2015 following bold garia on gary ins were also the

least supportive of legal gender recognition or 3rd option gender markers some have to school i this disconnect between east and west in e.u. states as being a king to still having an eye in curtin and while the e.u. is currently facing off with an internal battle over its budget in the often mouth of breaks it perhaps the real problems it faces a far more in cranes in the cultural differences of its member states show that deep in ski. in paris. hilton we meet the russian teenager whose red condition means she caught feel the pain is far from a blessing for her family the best the girl's mother explains that some of our stories still to go off the bridge.

when else should seem wrong. why don't we just don't call. any field goal to get to shape out these days because educated and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the day or thinks. we dare to ask.

you back with us a set of maps showing the full extent of u.s. military bases in africa last year has appeared online as follows a deadly attack on an airfield in kenya back in january in which 3 americans die and raised concerns of washington's water mission on the continent the documents were obtained by the investigative news website intercepts and show the locations of $29.00 u.s. military bases be formally secret dates are also discloses the whereabouts of american military operations in africa this is how the pentagon describes its self-proclaimed light footprint in the region we will grow more efficient to contribute to higher defense priorities and refocus resources to global power

competition we cannot take pressure off major terrorist groups like isis and al qaeda today afrikan does that using a light and relatively low cost footprint by supporting africa and international partners who are leading these efforts. the effectiveness of the u.s. effort to contribute to african security is being questioned last year there was a record high level of islamist activity currently there are roughly 2 dozen militant groups operating in 14 countries despite the rise in violence so washington believes it's a positive influence in africa tomorrow security demands leadership today we're trying to make sure that we are efficient with our resources and we're not duplicating efforts and whatever it is doing on the african continent is complimentary. so the bottom line is the united states is not walking away from africa we're committed and we remain engaged militarily claims that this is a light footprint but you know it's hard for an elephant to leave

a light footprint and certainly the pentagon is a giant elephant and its presence in any country instructive is a place of and it comes at the same time that there is constant concentrated economic dislocation then the whole thing the stabilizes the entire country and that's what it's meant to do it's meant to assert u.s. military power not economic growth and development as a matter of fact economic growth is there's an effort to destroy that and to push countries back or into almost a colonial position of the past and that is really us now are trying is an attempt to do to restore to old colonial and nations. you know the headlines israelis are voting for an unprecedented 3rd time in less

than a year the parliamentary elections are another 1st for prime minister benjamin netanyahu as he battles corruption claims opinion polls predict another stalemate with his main rival the centrist when you go. off at france's biggest tourist attraction the louvre have forced the world's most visited museum to close fearing the spread of the new coronavirus the country is dealing with around $100.00 cases and has confirmed to. the neighboring germany with $129.00 confirmed cases politicians have been seen taking special precautions as you can see germany's interior minister hosts a hall for politely declining to shake the angle of merkel's out of proportion the chancellor's praise. russia's pacific fleet has been carrying up drills over the remote control. putting siller in the countries far east navy jets practiced intercepting hostile craft in the skies above the largely uninhabited region which is often called the land of fire and ice rinks there were scores of volcanoes and

rugged frozen expanses. now to not feel physical pain might sound like a gift for one russian teenager though it's anything but that she was born with an extremely rare disorder that means she's unable to feel pain or gauge temperature is the 18 year old from dagestan completely reliant on her mother. in the u.s. lynch simon remember when she was little and her t.'s were about to come ali's my son came up to me and said tom she's bleeding of the cup that was strange to me because i couldn't figure out where it was coming from the professional as it turned out she had beaten her tongue into it was like a snake after a while her tongue split into at least he was a. good. look up time i was there when the diagnostic scheme i was shocked my life completely

changed from that moment pain is our protection those only get burnt breaks something when we fall because our brain gets a signal that there is a problem that our body needs protection applied there my girl does not receive that signal and she's defenseless. this is a. very ancient women especially the witness this isn't bush that isn't using it for the ideas that are what. i see i'm not giving up i want to improve her quality of life i'm not always going

to be there for her and i don't want her to use as a religion or what elissa wall political. up next going on the ground follows the ongoing extradition case of juda songs schiff you're watching us also with u.k. crossed. tells the printer escalating tensions on the syrian border and whatever and brings you this evening's headlines next now. why do we go to war because we view the key to economic growth as oil and energy we go to war is vice president cheney said for the oil that's why they invaded iraq for the oil that's why trump says the one thing we want to syria we

really don't want to go to war with russia we want to just control the oil. and the gas lines and the pipeline through afghanistan so the military is really an extension of controlling a world energy and oil. is your media a reflection of reality. in the world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being that. way. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us

you know we talk a lot on the show many years about economy and currencies and what makes a currency really what makes a currency a scarcity for example gold is a currency it's money because it's scarce that's the primary reason people use it as money keynesian economics or socialism is usually a workable because the people who are organizing it think that well you can just print all the money you need you need a program print more money there's socialism for banks on wall street as was pointed out recently one of the big presidential debates you know a bank gets in trouble just print more money well what's the ultimate scarce commodity what is the ultimate scarce commodity you think about what is the ultimate scarce commodity.

the data. load that close up. that. i'm not sure that they were going underground as the u.k. e.u. trade talks begin today to determine a post brics it future while they do nation media continues to look away from the case of arbitrarily detained julia songe which may determine the end of free speech in britain coming up on the show deputy leader of the left party in the german bundestag 7 document calls on labor leadership candidate gets accused of persecution of jews to see for himself in court what the u.n.

calls torture and arbitrary detention of the founder of wiki leaks plus forget coronavirus will breaks it all doubts on multinational chemical companies catalyze mass insect extinction all this and more coming up in today's going underground but 1st what was it actually like to sit in a london court last week watching an alleged travesty of justice as arbitrarily detained and tortured wiki leaks founder julian assange fought for his freedom one international observer was the deputy leader of the left party in the german bundestag 7 dag dillon who along with 32 other m.p.'s from 12 different e.u. countries witnessed arguably the most important trial of the century so far thanks so much for coming to australia in london rather than in berlin. even before the trial doctors were saying he may die at any moment what was it like in court. terrible in many ways it's just you know i am really appalled about the situation and the conditions even for us international observers i've seen so many trials

worldwide and i'm really outrageous about the conditions for us international observers in the public gallery for observers they are just $24.00 seats 6 for the family members and 18 for international observers and we always have to queue there and wait for about 2 hours just to make sure that we can really go and follow the case in the court room and not in a media annex room where you cannot listen we cannot hear something from the courtroom and in our other way it's terrible too because to see how the conditions are which julian is facing i mean he is a really gentle human journalist who haven't had to do.
