apart we are discussing afghanistan similarly and this war is with the country's former president hamid karzai mr president we are recording this interview in moscow and the russians and then a new diplomatic efforts but a lot of emphasis on developing the so-called regional approach which is frankly speaking a very broad and i would claim the an expressive phrase what do you think the russians mean by a regional approach and how is it different from their pros that americans have tried so far because they have also tried to engage neighboring countries apart from brush on afghanistan well we have had different to forces to afghanistan different regional just because there was the stumble process that is the the the organization of the torrent of get us on the russian vision to approach is with a specific objective in mind that is to bring about it all putative engagement of the countries in own neighborhood for the purpose of bringing the taliban to a negotiating. with the afghan government and fellow afghans when a split second aspect of it is to bring an involvement of corporations t

for a peaceful resolution well to discuss that i'm now in joined by the country's former president hamid karzai mr president it's great to see you in moscow well. now you won't.

let me get to hamid who is listening to this discussion.t would you respond to what michael just said. there was an hour and a half on national television of no policies and basically hate mongering? >> well, that kind of personal attack and demagoguery from the left is what we come to here and get used to. i'm a first generation immigrant in this country, and i very much applaud the president's desire to keep us safe with a wall. the fact of the matter is that through his policies and only seven months he's already decreased the amount of illegal immigration pouring over our border by only 60% and in this country are really happy to see that the president is concerned about our safety, our security, and our future. and those of us who live in border states see the incredible damage that is being rot by failure to enforce our borders. so i applaud the president for what he has said. i wish the members of my party who are serving in congress would honor their promises to their own constituents who got them elected, rather than showing contem

it's clear that the people in 1868 who proposed the hamidment, ratified it in 1868 and proposed it in 1866 did not think that schools had to be desegregated. people stood up and said don't worry this isn't going to apply to schools. in order to say that schools are covered as an originalist matter, you have to move to 1875 when the congress was more liberal this is a problem for originalists. if you think what matters is what the framers and ratifiers thought, then brown is hard to just fi as a matter of original interpretation and no current justice has done a great job in explaining why it is consistent with original understanding. >> we're going to run out of time. we'll get back to that later. felton is watching us in silver spring, maryland. you're on. good evening. >> yes. my -- we're listening. >> my comment is, do you think that after hundreds of years of segregation, adverse economic impact on black families that they had in the past, deserve some type of reparation through the justice system for black american families? >> thank you. >> well, that question has been debated b

with me is nafees hamid who was a few blocks away when the attack happened, and has been in the cityal in some ways, a terrorism researcher who has been researching your hardest to radicalisation in barcelona, to have an attack happened so close to home. it appears from what the police have said that there is quite a wide terror network behind the attack here and in cambrils as well. what do we know ofjihadists operating in spain and germany? there has not been a terror attack in spain since 2004. correct. there have been hundreds of arrests going on for the last few years, there are networks present, but for the most part they have been either trying to go to syria or trying to help coordinate attacks and other countries. all actively carrying out attacks in other countries. spain itself has not been the primary target. that is also a general trend we are seeing the terrorist attacks in europe, they do not have the freedom of movement to carry out the ideal attacks or to go somewhere abroad. they are tending to attack more locally, and trying to maximise casualties. we have seen the

the current government, just like the hamid karzai government, is ripe with corruption.s. they are people who, for example, support a particular ideology or a particular way of life, like the taliban. we have talked about and trump mention that last night, about coming to some sort of negotiations with the taliban. if they are so bad, how do you think you can negotiate? you have got them all over the world. the way to deal with them is not to go in to do nation—building, just go in and attack them. you don't need to leave troops permanently there, any more than you have in the yemen. we are attacking al-qaeda in the and in so or in syria, where we are allowing the free syrian army to do the fighting and we are aiding them. a final thought from you, scotty, when he talked about how it was his instinct to pull—out but then that decisions were much different when you sit behind the desk of the oval office... do you think this will be the start potentially more u—turns? there has been a huge change, obviously, in the people behind the scenes. no, i do not. this is national s
