abdullah abdullah, you spent more than 10 months in an egyptian prison.e in america we expect detainees to have basic human rights. describe for us the circumstances you experienced in the egyptian prison. >> i think egyptian prisons are an experience that no one would like to go through, because basically it's a nightmare for anyone who has gone through that kind of experience. in egyptian jails it's mostly beatings all the time never any kind of medical attention, of course, cells are overcrowded with people they don't get any kind of hygiene, or even any basic humans rights as -- you know allowing people to have some time to walk on their feet or probably meet each other or in some cases it's not even allowed to have a newspaper or a book or even a pen. so it's mostly a very bad experience for anyone who goes through that and it's -- it's -- it's mostly -- you know it works according to how the offices in any prison would like to control it, because there isn't something like that law that really defines how they can treat prisoners, because one day yo

the president and chief executive abdullah abdullah will lay out plans for the future and ask for moreonal support. the country faces new security challenges with most foreign troops being withdrawn at the end of this month. >> all right, well, more now on the eric garner grand jury decision that sparked protests in u.s. cities. >> the video begins with eric garner already on the defensive. >> i didn't sell anything! i did nothing. i've been standing here the whole time minding my own business. >> this is not the first time the 350-pound father of six is being accused of illegally selling loose cigarettes on the streets of staten island, but it will be his last. 44 seconds into the nearly three-minute video recorded by a bystander. police don't back down. about 20 seconds later, garner is still trying to explain he had done nothing wrong. >> just leave me alone. i told you last time please leave me alone. >> within seconds with garner's hands in the air police make their move. >> don't touch me, don't touch me. do not touch me. >> just two seconds after they first grab him, the officer

president gani and representative abdulla abdullah abdullah. possibly a vote in support of bilateral agreements with the united states and nato to continue to support afghanistan as it transitions to running its own security at the beginning of next year. out of 102 parliamentarians, 7 voted against it. they will keep bolstering the operation resolute against the afghan security forces next year. the reality is the taliban is trying to match that. two significant attacks in kabul over the weekend and the attack on the british convoy. one is a british security worker, aide workers killed and a base handed over in helmand. that attack by the taliban. they are sending a message. >> symbolic, to say the least. nic robertson, thanks so much. >>> new concern about sports related concussions after the body of missing ohio state player kosta karageorge. police say it appears karageorge died from a self inflicted gunshot. his parents said he has had several concussions and confusion spells and complained of the symptoms before disappearing last wednesda

abdullah abdullah, they're trying to form this unity government. they are both men who want to help the afghan people. they're going to try to help the afghan people. but they also need the right people around them. they'll try to put the right people around them and below them to implement their plans. it's not so much the man in charge but the men and women below them. >> gotcha, what is president ashraf ghani's position about the taliban. >> his position seems to be to try to bring them in the government fold, just as president karzai before him try to do. first of all the taliban don't want to be part of the government. they feel that the government is a puppet of america and the international community. second, it's not just the taliban. this is not the taliban of the 1990's where you had a leader. you have a fractionalized, divided taliban. you have different groups and different organizations vying for power. you can bring one group or convince one group to come in to the government, if you can even do that, but then there will be other grou

abdullah abdullah. >>> charles stratford joins us now from the afghan capitol, cable. so what's hailing's message to afghanistan's rulers there? >> as you say, sami, as we are expecting a press conference bechuck hagle, we understand he is going to be meet can president ghani and chief executive officer abdullahscuss the security arrangements at the end of this year. we understand there will be potentially some formal announcement for the end of the u.s. combat mission. now, this obviously comes after a security agreement was signed and approved by the u.s. and by the government here that will see a number of u.s. troops remaining in afghanistan after the end of their combat mission. we expect some more details on that. we heard president ghani say they will be here in some sort of aecht terrorism role. we are expecting more details on that. of course, this comes at a tight when we have seen brazen large attacks by taliban, most specifically on camp bastian down in the south of the country. you mentioned the camp bastian. some figures this year for army and police casual at this. how much public confidence is there for this new stage, as you put it. >> reporter: well, it's pretty obvious on the ground they're that despite an increase in security certainly here in the capital over the last few

right now we're seeing a power-sharing government between ghani as well as the other candidate, abdullah abdullahbasically chief executive of the government as well. and the fact they were able to put their differences aside, the fact they could push forward and help afghanistan stand on its own two feet is a very good sign. with president ghani, we see a president willing to work with america, with the international community, something we saw fading away with president karzai. >> part of the issue of the u.s. still wanting to be involved with the government in afghanistan is pakistan. how much of our troop presence there is about propping up this government, which is more amenable to working with it but how much is remaining nearby as pakistan tries to get itself together? >> well, one of the interesting things that's happened recently is the tragedy of the massacre at the school in pakistan has created moore than a little interest among the government and particularly the army in pakistan to close down the taliban's sanctuary in the northwestern provinces of pakistan. we'll get lots more assis

as a result you have ashraf ghani as president and abdullah abdullah the runner-up as the c.e.o.e government. so they have to agree on a new cabinet. they have to agree on a lot of decisions that are being made. and they each have their own circles of people around them that they have to deal with. so it's made a much more complicated government situation. and they have not been able to competition very much in the first three months. >> brown: well, that-- what have been the priorities of ghani and the government at this point? what kind of initiatives are they able to take? >> well so far ghani has tried to put a focus on cleaning up the government. notoriously corrupt government and country. he's tried to focus on going after some of the serious case the kabul bank case where there was nearly a billion dollars siphonned out of the bank by its shareholders several years ago. he reopened that case has tried to prosecute these people to send a signal that this government is going to be clean, is going to go after corruption. so he's taken some steps in those record. -- regard, bu

abdullah abdullah. this will be the first conference where you won't see the familiar figure of hamid karzai appearing at the conference. but afghans are asking, new faces is one thing. we want a new government. there's noen c cabinet yet, andy also want a new solutions to very old problems in the country. >> lyse doucet there at lancaster house. >>> the american comedian bill cosby has been urged to waive his rights under the statute of limitations so the courts can hear new allegations of sexual assault against him. three women have gone public recently with claims that he groped and assaulted them. the alleged incidents happened more than 30 years ago, and that is too long for the cases to come to trial. should just tell you alistair leithead's report does have some flash photography. >> reporter: three more women going public with their allegations against bill cosby. the celebrity lawyer gloria allred is representing them. she brought the media to hear this latest raft of accusations against the co

now fronting to the deal between the different network of one side and there was the side of abdullah abdullah who tried to take more and more position and that's very dangerous because of the role may be to start inside of the afghani institutions. the second point that i want to point out is the arrival of u.s. forces, which was the failure of the afghan army and mostly iraqi's army, as we saw the last, 10 june 2014 when mosul fell into the evidence of the iraqi insure negligents and isis. the problem was saying that there is too much resources put in the different institutions and the different regime. but there is no coercion inside, the unit that we tried to create in iraq or afghanistan. the sectarian dynamic inside iraq was used to be on the field with the iraqi army at different points, it was amazing to see how much iraqi soldiers were not able to deal with each other, because the commander maybe will be shiia and no one can trust each other. this lack of leadership cannot explain the fragmentations when isis attacked in the army, even if they are huge resources, especially in mosul w

abdullahal shami. from abdullah alshami. >> welcome back to the program. in afghanistan four afghan soldiers were killed today during a feergs battle with a fierce battle with the taliban in helman province. moved into a training and support role, jamie mcintyre joins us, from the white house. the war may be officially over but a huge number of troops are staying in the country. >> that's right tony. one of the lessons united states took from iraq, don't leave without leaving behind some troops. the obama administration is pinning its hopes on the afghan security forces even as a resurntresurge ent taliban is claiming victory. most u.s. troops now leaving afghanistan will never return. president obama says the original mission of denying terrorists safe hairch has been accomplished. >> because of the extraordinary work of the men and women in the armed forces, afghanistan has a chance to rebuild its own country. >> labeling the ceremony marking the departure of most nato troops a clear indication of their defeat and disappointment. the taliban were dramatically ramping up attacks killing 3200 afghan since and more than 1400 average forces and police in 2014. u.s. afghan troops have not cut and return. >> the afghan national security forces and police reacted bravely and dwoiblg each one quickly to each one of those attacks. >> but the taliban have succeeded in reestablishing areas formerly are cleared noticeably in helman province. taking back those gains will now have to be done with less help from nato. >>> much smaller assistance and training mission dubbed resolute support which starts officially january 1st. that will provide some 12,500 to 13,500 nato forces including about 5,000 american troops to back up the 350,000 strong afghan security forces as they take on taliban and al qaeda insurgents. so after 13 years hundreds of billions of dollars and more than 2200 american lives lost it's not so much that united states has won in afghanistan but more that it's done with afghanistan. tony some of those troops that are staying behind will have an unspecified counterterrorism mission. so even if the war is officially over the fighting will continue. >> jamie mcintyre at the white house, jamie, thank you. matt del zeller is here, good to see you again. it wasn't yesterday it was earlier today i saw a pretty provocative headline. if i say to you the afghan war that didn't really end yesterday, ended in defeat, what do you say to that? >> it did. at least from our perspective. i mean, i don't think the war ended. the taliban get a vote, and they've clearly voted with their guns and their road side bombs and their suicide bombers that they're going to continue fighting. adding a great disservice to people we still have in uniform over there in our behalf to tell them hey you're no longer at a war. i don't know what we're calling it now maybe it's a training application with a new name but let's be clear. people are still going to fight people are still going to get shot and injured and die and that, to me, still sounds an awful lot like a war. >> but if the united states isn't calling it a war and the taliban is still fighting, i'm not sure what the taliban is claiming victory for. what is this? what is the taliban claiming victory of? and what do you call this? >> well, i think at this point this is just -- it's a pr game. i mean only in washington right can we think of a press conference where we can declare the war over without a peace treaty or the absolute defeat of our enemies, with the enemies still being on the battlefield and very much coming testing our presence. it's been mismanaged sings the beginning. what we have is an afghan government that is not responsive to the majority of the people's needs. i feel we've repeeded the old soviet strategy, we'll withdrawn from the be rural areas which is where the majorities of the afghans live. they have the luxury of driving north relatively peacefully when they left. we're going to have to fly from about one of five different air fields most of which are surrounded by very large tall mountains from which you can easily make those air fields grave yards to our aircraft. this is a nightmare. the only way it gets resolved is politically. >> yes. >> we have to realize that the taliban has fought us to a stalemate. there is no military palatable solution to this. we're not going to send in 500,000 u.s. troops and go in with our pakistani allies and wipe out the taliban period. what has to be is a political solution to this conflict. sitting down with people who we quite frankly right now cannot stomach. >> wow. if i'm looking for a silver lining and i'm not i'm just posing it as a question, look ngos are in the country and i'm told they're building wells and people who otherwise wouldn't have drinking water now have drinking water more schools are being built, more women are going to school and getting an education what do we say to those positive developments? they are certainly positive developments. >> yeah, i think last one is probably the most important is the education of women. so i'm sitting here talking to you now because my translator saved my life in a firefight. the day after when i could take stock of what happened, i asked him why did he do that? he told me i was a guest in his country and he was trying to protect me. i said i'm glad you're on our side and trying to not take a slot. i asked why are you on my side he said because my mom would being be knowledge ashamed of me if i worked for the taliban. and my mom was educated. you can't fight with these people they're not true muslims. that's going to be our lasting legacy, is the millions of afghan women who have been given some semblance of an opportunity oget some basic literacy. once you have implanted that seed of literacy the whole marketplace of ideas is potentially opened up to that individual and they are no longer to be controlled by what is essentially thought control. the taliban has beaten us as to how they get their information out to a highly illiterate afghan population but imagine the people can read for themselves and write for themselves. that's the taliban's greatest fear and our greatest asset. >> i guess the latest discount 2224 u.s. soldiers killed fighting there in afghanistan since 2001. no one knows how many afghans have been killed in that same time span. what becomes of afghanistan? does it become for u.s. interest does it become korea? what does it become? >> i would hope that it would. you know, i think too nonthis country we have thought of the item of nation-building as some sort of cursed term. but i'd ask you what has it gotten us? it's gotten us a situation in iraq in which we are now recommitting u.s. military forces. a situation in afghanistan that i think people if you would have said this would have been ten years ago, argued what's the point of being there in the first place? but compare that to place he where the u.s. actually left behind a lasting commitment not just militarily but economically and politically and developmentally. the germanys and being japans and south koreas of the world. trading partners not just in economics but this culture and in science. and that's what afghanistan and iraq could be, if we were willing to actually engage in the type of true national commitment it takes to help bring our friends and allies along with us in our ride of prosperity. but thus far i would argue as a soldier, we too often looked to the military as this broad policy, you use us as oscalpel dom remove the cancer in your being overall quality of life. that's the state department, the u.s.a.i.d.esu.s.a.i.d.s, the socioeconomic thaings america hasthings that the u.s. brought to bear. we have been reactionary back amo mode. whakingary whackam offeringswingwhackamo mode. >> thank you for joining us. today marks the one year anniversary everring peter greste, mohamed fahmy and baher mohamed sentenced to being irm prisonment. abdullah al shami earlier todaying described the conditions of his captivity. >> if i may use the expression it's like a owsk experience because you get to be totally denied from your basic human rights, you don't get to see your relatives, except once in a week and in my colleagues case, just once every two weeks, of course there's no kind of medical care, there's no any kind of free sometime for them go around or do whatever they could think about and the conditions nsh any prisoner in egypt, that applies to my colleagues as well miserable conditions. the way the cells look like, the hygiene, everything related to normal human conditions, basic human rights, they have been deprived of. >> guide dispietdespite the dangers journalists still go out and do their job. including intimidation from their own governments. roxana saberi has more. ♪ ♪ >> mikel zeber says running an independent tv station isn't easy. he's earned the rath of russian authorities. >> unfortunately we are targeted and we ha
