monday night here in moscow in the headlines for you this hour a bomb blast rips through a football stadium in eastern afghanistan earlier today according to police 3 people killed there and 11 others wounded the attack coming after the taliban said it would resume its operations against afghan security forces following president garvey's refusal to commit fully to a peace deal between the u.s. and the islamist group elsewhere. greece tonight warning of a threat to its national security is turkey allows thousands of desperate asylum seekers to amass along with countries shared border athens is accusing anchor of exploiting refugees in pursuit of political goals will fill you in on the latest we

know about that tonight plus 2. problem sets itself on a collision course with the e.u. after a 3rd of the country's declared itself to be an l g b t free zone. by their pretty to talk about tonight the life martin to nationals world to central moscow it's kevin 0 in here thanks taking the time to watch him here for the next half hour with our latest for you starting with the news on the stand afghan police say that at least 3 people have been killed earlier and 11 others wounded in an explosion at a football stadium in the eastern province of cost no $1.00 has claimed responsibility for the attack as of yet but earlier on monday worth bearing in mind the taliban said it would resume operations against the country's security forces after president gani refused to commit fully to the terms of that very recent peace deal between the u.s. and the islamist group. the reduction in violence has ended now and operations will

continue as normal as part of the us taliban agreement or mujahideen will not attack foreign forces but the operations will continue against the kabul administration forces well under the perfect the government in kabul is required to free 5000 taliban members from prison in exchange for the release of a 1000 government detainees but president ghani has said that the swap must not be a precondition for interim peace talks the deal also stipulates that u.s. troops are withdrawn from the country over 14 months subject to the taliban's compliance looking at increasingly fragile agreements like than his saskia taylor next. 18 here is $1.00 trillion dollars over $150000.00 dead for raf gonna start in the us the road to peace has been bloody costly but a new dawn is on the horizon and it's being hailed as

a victory we will be. there for. you ok or there's already today even. that new force in the course of action. with her reading comprehension is are we achieve this is for peace to be put on. 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 now there is no commitment to release 5000 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 participated not only participated. not as a government but present at 1st 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. battles have been waged by afghan troops or very simply. means that paul obama or anybody else up to deal with government so this is maybe one of the hurdles. 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 another 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 deal of the central us the boom and kim jong un isn't quite ready to step away from his making a rockets but trump got his photos and it seems he's already eyeing up his next money shops be meeting personally with taliban leaders in the not too distant future. and will 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. one thing the son of the another thing to say it work out pragmatically let's now talk to a melinda mysteries a lecturer at lancaster university specializing in conflict management and religious radicalism thanks to live without international bacon the time for some love you see it well you know it took 48 hours on the face of it for this great fanfare deal to revel spectacularly plus we're seeing what happened in cost earlier

on bombs going off in a football stadium nothing to say the taliban was behind this but it comes shortly after they said that they would ramp up their operations was going on what's the state of play tonight you think. well tonight who was already on the wall and nation look north barguti a little while and then the peace deal is not going to go on through the mistake that we have seen here is that government has been kept out and i'm going populous has been kept on chris well so what we have seen is a bipartisan deal which cannot be accepted which can resort to the larger government or with partners in the sides so it was interested which was bound to plan from the very beginning and it also gave the parliament a car ran on the american psyche do whatever they wanted to do so what we can say is that no american administration has completely ignored growth problem government mr graham and that is exactly what we're going to so this is the beginning this is

a. 3 and we're going to see more and more attacks against their government in congress so is america i mean what were you saying the sell so simple were you looking at it as your unraveling it but surely america knew this and if the afghan government wasn't consulted in this big deal for 8 hours ago they color knew this kind of thing might kick off or certainly get worse if they didn't involve the afghan government along the way as it seems to be what was the end game here. well there are 2 we will see a fast one is taliban the bigger evil and the 2nd one is examinable from ganesh the small evil i'm not sure one is long and doesn't come complete control of the territory so why not washington now mistress and realizes that drone taliban is going to have a control for central control over the territory come what may so what they have done in hardy's to make the place to with a larger player by undermining the smaller player what they have. introduced in this radical within are you with letting the afghans i can count among themselves

and making sure that to the united states is creating a kind of honorable john to withdraw what would have been the protocol revocations on the ground of releasing 5000 members of the taliban before the talks were held with out of work and what would have meant more instability on the road up to complete mayhem and make you're talking about the civil war in my view in the country and the government just a hardly can come gone down that critical parts of the only member gone i'm just a family for you not just a few doing the critic with an eye to your boys so what we're going to say that the ball has been given to bagram court and it is for them to want to talk among them some of your own portability highlighted and mr trump is going to use it ours is election electioneering our strategy in the coming months so final one how do expect the us immediately to react to this news today that we're not going to see

their lives read and see and primarily because of the fact that they are not going to attack a new western troops where western interests move into so that the peace still holds between taliban and the trump i'm interested. i'm led to a lecture at lancaster university specializing said earlier on in conflict management and religious radicalism thanks make the time to be on the program give us your view on it. all right this follows some other news tonight and tensions continuing to rise on the border between greece and turkey has been building up the last few days without buildup of migrants is being described by athens now as a threat to its national security this is all because turkey opened its border with the e.u. on saturday prompting thousands of people to head their greece's deployed extra soldiers in his vying to increase the deterrent as violent clashes break out between the police migrants.

on. the greek territory who've been arrested. and in my mind this isn't me go away of entering one country. many migrants have been attempting to reach greece by boat according to reports at least a 1000 of reach the country's eastern gene islands in the past day one child died off the coast of lesbos earlier monday when an inflatable dinghies carrying migrants from the turkish coast capsized next to europe corresponds not peter all of it with more on this developing crisis. well the very latest we have on this on

folding 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 been 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 increase and 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 2060 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 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 so let's get more estimations on what's going on here vernon bend is the president of the all students of european policy and security in vienna he told us the e.u. needs a comprehensive approach to tackle this crisis now. i think it's it's ok that turkey is looking for help for fighting still is instance but this is not

everything what we have to look at is also how can people be brought to go back to their home country this is the 1st reason and this fires i seed many 100000 people who left syria in the past they did not belong to the opposition forces but they just fled due to the. horrible situation of fighting. of the different groups and of course at least some of them could be brought back to syria and in so far what is needed is for sure a whole package in order to solve these questions it will not be only money and it will not be any other assistance like assistance at the borders but it will be also a package that goes to the center of the problem which means bringing people back

to their home country trying to find further solutions in order to pacify the whole situation. live from moscow this is a exactly 60 minutes past 8 in the evening here hope you can stick around among the stories one about when the russian teenager where condition when she can't feel pain but it's far from a blessing for a mum tells us all about it when her back. join me every 1st week on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.

against big story brewing is that

a backlash against sexual minority rights in poland or a 3rd of minas of policies that have declared themselves l g b t free zones. next looks at how the move clashes than with the wider use cornerstone ethos of sharing 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 minutes a poll on local governments have 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 law and 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 the adoption 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

b t rights after 25 years of being twinned with the polish town it's taken drastic action and suspended ties francis committed to combat things human rights violations based on sexual orientation. we cannot accept the ties that unite our 2 suiters through an oath of winning should be tainted with the position taken by. 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 couldn't grew up in a normal gay family have to fathers are 2 mothers have a good indication travel around the world know languages and they're good and interest and very soon you do 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 bowl garia 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 21000 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 bug area and variants were also the least supportive of legal gender recognition or 3rd option gender markers some have described this disconnect between east and west an e.u. state 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 aftermath of breaks it perhaps the real problems it faces are far more in cranes in the cultural differences of its member states. r.t. in paris. next tonight a set of maps showing the full extent of u.s. military bases in africa last year is paid online it follows a deadly attack on an airfield in kenya in january in which 3 americans died and raise concerns of washington's wider mission on the continent while they were the

documents were obtained by the investigative news website the intercept shows the locations of $29.00 u.s. military bases the formerly secret data also discloses the whereabouts of american military operations in africa 2 this is how the pentagon describes its self-proclaimed light footprint. 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. but 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 and despite the rise in violence washington believes it's

a positive influence though in africa tomorrow's security demands leadership today we're trying to make sure that we are efficient with our resources and we're not depleting 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 bulleteer he 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 base of it and if it comes at the same time that there is a 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 trying christ is an attempt to do to restore to old colonial elations. let's take 90 seconds our next go around the world in brief this is what we're going to try to throw at the mo israelis are voting for unprecedented 3rd time in less than a year the parliamentary elections are another test of problems for you and you know as he battles corruption close opinion polls predict another stalemate with his main rival the centrist of bodyguard scott laurie virtue it's come up throughout the night that you know what happens in the coming hours elsewhere coronavirus what we got here next when will start for it france's biggest tourist attraction the move of force the world's most visited museums are closed fearing the spread of the new coronavirus the country is dealing with around $100.00 cases and the scene to their worst far in
