i i. i i. snipe here monday night right now here in moscow in the headlines for you officials in afghanistan say that 3 people have been killed earlier 11 wounded in a powerful bomb blast in a football grounds of the country's east that attack coming after the taliban said it would resume operations against afghan security forces following president gandhi's refusal to commit fully to a peace deal between the u.s. and business group that so far has said there was come for to say that behind it we got live comment elsewhere. trouble brewing here greece warning of a threat to its national security now as turkey in the last few days is starting to allow thousands of desperate asylum seekers to mass along the. border athens is

accusing us of exploiting refugees in pursuit of a political goal. and this is the big story today briefly on poland sets itself on a collision course with the e.u. after a 3rd of the country has declared itself to be an l.g. t.v. free zone. hi there so lots to talk about life from arts international's world news center here in moscow it's me kevin i am with you for the next half hour thank you for your company to take you through those top stories as reported from russia tonight and 1st afghan police say that at least 3 people have been killed and 11 others wounded in an explosion at a football ground earlier in the eastern province of cost no $1.00 has claimed responsibility for the attack as yet but worth bearing in mind early on monday parallel to that the taliban said it would relaunch operations against the carb all

government after president danny refused to commit to the terms of that big peace deal drawn up between the u.s. and the islamist movement. 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 so more detail about this pact it stipulated that the government in kabul would release 5000 taliban members from prison in exchange the group pledged to free 1000 government detainees but it all unraveled president garny has said that the swap must not be a precondition for interim peace talks under the deal u.s. troops would also been withdrawn from the country over 14 months subject to the taliban's compliance despite this monday setbacks though the trumpet ministrations still doesn't seem unduly concerned. we're getting out we want to get out we had

good meetings with the taliban. we're going to be leaving and we're going to be bringing our soldiers back on we've been there for almost 20 years it's a long time we've done a great job in terms of getting rid of terrorists now it's up to other countries to get rid of those terrorists i would caution everybody to think that there's going to be an absolute sation of violence in afghanistan that is probably not going to have a spine are going to go to 0 or next in a dark tailor looks at whether hopes of securing a lasting peace in afghanistan were misplaced here. 18 here is $1.00 trillion dollars over $150000.00 dead for rough gonna start in the u.s. 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 this is for peace to be. the

deal signed by washington the taliban has promised to bring to a close what seemed and on ending a war times many thought it wouldn't happen the deal has come after 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 rarest situations where in parties involved were happy well almost all because apparently someone forgot to ask the afghan government what its take was spoiler a lot it's got a few concerns that in could barely dry it on the deal when the afghan president vetoed a he was the release of $5000.00 taliban militants as part of a prisoner swap if. there is no commitment to release $5000.00 prisoners i have shared this with dr kelly this is the right and the decision of the people of afghanistan they have requested it 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 therefore 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 that piece of paper is ironically the easiest part and the promising prisoners which on yours is as unhelpful as dropping demands that the taliban officially recognize gone his government are going to govern. was not even invited to the negotiations and when they were participate the only principle. not as a government representatives work was ordinary afghans and that in itself is a very significant indication of how the situation was developed president guy who 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. or anybody else up to deal with government so this is very be 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 1st place and with an election 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 small bust them 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 yourself victor leave others to figure out the logistics tried and tested. or a suspect of the nest talk to him using cobol live with his her plans for being with us a political analyst as you are look at all the only took 48 hours there's much more to deal between american president trump was photo opportunities to simply unravel could move seen this coming was it a surprise or not got his reaction here. you know right from the beginning of this whole peace process last 18 months but in particular last months one could see why it was quite obvious that the government can be us administration was not treating from the same beach we had the national security adviser talking against us. in washington so it didn't happen they haven't been

in sync about what has been going on and what happened i would document sighing if you look at loose and then what happened it got will be at be a magic ministroke defense a get you up depends what doctor on the podium there was some sort of big difference in some sort of a paradoxical active duty toward this all being where the americans. would leave it drop then beat us depends to get green goblin a stake and we need to head back big deal we can do you know supporting the opera in government so you see it's a lot of contradictions and didn't. ever going to be a successful deal if the incumbent government there wasn't involved and anyway where do we stand though tonight we saw the explosion of the football ground in cost earlier on no one's come for to say that behind it may or may not be the

taliban but today the taliban have said we're not going to be dealing with this if you're not going to release the prisoners we're going to really ramp up our operation so as it stands tonight for today there was after this deal we still got president trump saying the troops are coming out anyway what does this mean for afghanistan is any further forward as a 2 steps back. what to predict the administration is so confusing it's sort of figured out being it's a big talking to some of your pictures here to look nationally and internationally and even be have been it has been a state or blog but instead of going to you should know no one is in a position to really figure out how things really ran out into the chance to come because bill is going to extend competing agendas competing agreements and definitely that's going to end up somewhere in a stalemate where the americans and the out run government will lose consensus and of course the economic that have been made between the taliban and a medic can really not be accepted by kabul which is quite obvious take now. the

major issue which can be you know we're not going to mention in this whole process and that's going to lead up to christmas i think that's going to really challenge this whole process and we are acting in it's what you mentioned. you've been very limited gun since that existed. and that's at like challenging position actually there's a journalist to talk about this for so much more times against us tonight but some thank you for taking part of the program so far and to liven up the international much appreciated there from couple of good night. thank you you. know another story that for you there's been a backlash against sexual minority rights in poland big backlash for a 3rd of municipalities have declared themselves l g b t free zones shut the tube and ski next tonight looks at how the move clashes them with a wider use cornerstone the thoughts 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 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 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. right 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. 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 and 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 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 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 29000 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 variance 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 incurred in all 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 a far more in cranes in the cultural differences of its member states. ski r.t. in paris. a developing story next to tell you about the e.u.'s border agency from turk says it's been poured on high alert and will be deploying extra support now to greece tonight which is facing a major buildup of asylum seekers along its border with turkey but softer opened its borders with the e.u. on saturday prompting thousands of people to head their greece soever says it's unwilling to accept newcomers as it stands insisting it will turn back anyone attempting to illegally enter the country many migrants have also been attempting to reach so that place by boat to on monday video released by turkish authorities

appear to show the greek coast guard attempting to capsize a full dinghy of refugees there were also there were also films firing warning shots into the water as well as will to be. confirmed in a separate incident a child drowned off the coast of those bourse earlier today when an inflatable boat carrying migrants from the turkish coast overturned well here's a look at the crisis unfolding right now tonight on the border. oh.

those go to the greek kodori have been arrested and detained. and in my mind this isn't me go way of entering one country. but the very latest we have on this unfolding situation comes from the turkish leader mr ed the one the president saying that at the moment as it stands hundreds of thousands of refugees and migrants of cross the border from turkey towards greece or making their way into wards greece he says that will eventually become millions the doors are now open now you will have to take your share of the burden hundreds of thousands have crossed soon it will reach millions all here in germany the state of bavaria is paid 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 whole and attempt to blackmail the european union we need to create political solution it is clear that we must not allow ourselves to be blackmailed by turkey that's a sentiment that's really been 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 and an attempt. to gain more diplomatic power turkey's decision to to allow their these refugees and migrants to move towards greece came after an increase in violence on their southern border with syria as fighting increases in northern syria. turkey says they just can't handle the shia 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 those 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 on your correspondent there verna fassel is the president of the austin institute for european policy and security in vienna he told us the e.u. needs a comprehensive approach now to tackle this crisis. 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 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. 21 past 9 here in moscow this monday night appreciate taking the time to watch us here in russia on the way after the break we meet the russian teenager whose rare condition means she cannot feel pain but it is far from a blessing for the other family a mom explains she tells us about it when the bat. join

me every thursday on the alex salmond short and i'll be speaking to us with a world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. you know we talk a lot on the show many years about economy and currencies and what makes a currency usually what makes a currency is 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 unworkable 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 think about it what is the ultimate scarce commodity.

this is how it's international with me kevin 0 in high get a sense of maps showing the full extent of u.s. military bases in africa last year's appeared online it follows a deadly attack on an airfield in kenya in january in which 3 americans died and raised concerns of washington's why did mission on the continent these days the document was by the investigative news website the intercept and shows on occasions of $29.00 u.s. military bases the fully secret data all sorts of close discloses the whereabouts of american military operations more generally in africa this is how the pentagon describes itself proclaimed light footprint right now. 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 after calm does that using a light and relatively low cost footprint by supporting african and international partners who are leading these efforts some commentators though are questioning the united states efforts to restore stability and security in parts of africa last year was a record high level of islamist activity that currently there are roughly 2 dozen militant groups operating in 14 countries but despite the rise in violence or seem to believe that some 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 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 place of and if it comes at the same time that there is concern 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 the nations. of the world in our circles israelis are voting for unprecedented 3rd time in less than
