i think the new generation of afghanistan the transformed your vision of afghanistan will not be able to accept this kind of approach and behavior and therefore i think this is a major issue a major issue or post a major challenge i would say poster taliban integration a parliament peace process would be how do we smoothly ensure that these taliban fighters interview the system with respect to the values that people of afghanistan believe in since the war began here in 2001 women have enjoyed equal rights to men in law even if society lags behind unequal c. however is another matter. now to japan and a look at all traditions from the 11th century almost to last and new lease saved the hard work of hand cutting blocks of ice its production is now used for the popular sweet treat known as category. it could be the work of an oven guard composer but these notes from a conch shell are blown in gratitude they ring out to thank nature for a successful harvest. not of crops but freezing blocks of natural ice. for decades crafts people in the mountains of nikko north of tokyo have turned spri

we are going to make sure afghanistan is not a sanctuary and try to bring peace and stability to afghanistan. >> in your view will it be possible to achieve preventing afghanistan from becoming a sanctuary? >> i wouldn't be standing here if i wasn't a glass half-full person. i believe what is needed is a disruption to the status quo. i think an agreement that can initiate inter-afghan dialogue leading to a reduction of violence associated with the insurgency is worth trying but particularly, it is a want to emphasize this, any agreement we have moving forward the president has been clear will be conditions based so those conditions make me confident it is worth trying. >> moving counterterrorism forces over the horizon something that the permit is planning for? >> it is premature to talk about what our counterterrorism presence may or may not be without better appreciation for what conditions will be. we tailored our counterterrorism presence in afghanistan reflecting operational environment, which would clearly change in the wake of negotiation that we have to make assessments to the secret

that's why we have forces on the ground inside afghanistan today. -- when i ake sure spoke about afghanistan securing itself in the future i was just answering the question and not affixing a timeline. it's our judgment of the afghans need support to deal with the level of violence associated with the insurgency today. if an agreement happens in the future, the security environment changes, then our osture may adjust. >> and this is the level of support we are providing today. one thing i am sure of, based on my time in afghanistan. many of you recall that we have -- we had 140,000 coalition forces in iraq and about 15,000 or 22,000, i think, total in coalition and u.s. forces today. it is significantly different. in the future, our posture will adjust. eporter: to followup, in north korea, since short-range missiles have been a response to computer-based exercises, what does this say bout larger scale military exercises between the u.s. and south korea? will we get back to the point where there is a large scale 10,000 suit of troops weeks long military exercises? >> the keys to preserve rea

and how concerned is the taleban of isis reach in afghanistan. hum. i mean you know from various reports that we can glean i think we do recognize there is that is some kind of. the there is a relatively significant footprint of eisel in afghanistan and that's you know that as concerned as in the past and that is still a still a worrying concern and the major concern is the further expansion or the potential to expand off myself footprint in afghanistan and i think that that's predominantly where the american thinking on this issue lies and you know the issue of how we monitor any finances potential finances to help us grow how would it harm the american interest and these are some of the broad concerns that lay that is that has always been a part of the thought process visa view regarding eisel the eisel footprint in afghanistan. regarding our concerns i think you know if the lessons elsewhere have the experience itself so as big as a lesson then. that those lessons are learned and are still being learned about how to address the threat in afgha

afghanistan. or a iraq. they're going to have to fight their battles through ok we wiped out the caliphate 100 percent i did it record. but it is certain point all of these other countries where i said. around they've been decimated by the way badly decimated but all of these countries are going to have to find out because do we want to stay there for another 19 years i don't think so. let's get libr action now from hekmatyar us army deputy director at the center for conflict and peace studies now trying to accuse other countries of not pulling their weight in the fight against i still think you have a point. well look the americans for very long time since the trumpet in astray sion came into power. was trying to encourage other countries particularly countries like india to to do more in afghanistan but none of these countries in the region that one can expect. to influence in the capability to come in in do more in afghanistan you know because if you look at the countries that the afghan government or the

if we're told in afghanistan have repeatedly targeted the shia hazara community, the shia in afghanistanrepresent a small minority. and in the past few years, the shiats have basically been bled by both the taliban and isis. so i mean, just in july, this july, an isis affiliate in eastern afghanistan targeted by shiat wedding and killed scores of shiats. so yes, the taliban might not be responsible for this particular attack. i would say that either the isis affiliate or extreme elements of the taliban or other sunni extremists were responsible for the massacre last night. >> fawaz ge "rgb" es, thank you. >> thank you. >>> 2020 democratic candidates are reaching out to african-american voters especially younger millennials. elizabeth warren and bernie sanders both hoing to cut into front-runner joe biden's lead. they traveled here to atlanta on speaking to young black christians. warren later hosted an event in south carolina making her pitch to college students there. many vote ers know elizabeth warren as a diehard liberal and a standard bearer of progressives issues but that wasn't al

he is an afghanistan war veteran. good morning. i am an afghanistan and iraq war veteran.fghanistan, we have to realize the taliban was the government. the taliban attacked the world with a destroyed the trade centers. they are a war criminal. they destroyed temples of different religions. basically, they corrupt the people. when i talked to the citizens of afghanistan trying to run a business, the taliban and would come in and make threats and take people. isis would do it. other local extremists would threaten the women. the small towns are tribal. it's all being done by pakistan. the thing is, pakistan is constantly feeding munitions into afghanistan. it's a known fact. there is no confusion there. don't want to say it. that taliban is evil. bastards.evil there you want to hope are a few in the movement who have gotten tired of the violence, that they would be willing to look inside their hearts and change their approach. they are mostly very violent people. there are many groups inside the taliban who are especially brutal and who i doubt would at a fundamental level b

what do you make of president trump's comments on afghanistan today. i believe it's a right comment as well as right decision because as we know we're speaking the situation in afghanistan is absolutely in secured that government has failed to provide security even inside of. kabul city as well as you know it also shows that beyond taliban there is more fit that isis will die as who has claimed responsibility for this attack so it is important to have the u.s. presence in afghanistan if there is a clause of condition in the agreement between the united states and taliban for full of a draw or so i think that would be more of a sudden around not any. peace deal if the u.s. forces are set to leave the country how do you go about improving security in afghanistan. i think we are fully dependent on afghanistan in terms of finance as well as in terms of training as well as even air support for the u.s. and nato troops and of course there are more than 22 terrorist organization operating across the border between afghanistan and pakistan who are clear not on
