out of time for us thank you very much indeed for your insight i was very good in the live from islamabad talking to us here on r.t. . now one of the google goals made competitors is gearing up for another stock market push for grabs is seven percent of russia's yond x. which is the fourth largest search engine and the world war now from our cheesy war of his there. so you are it's a major russian firm that's a global player of course so why is a slice of it being floated now. definitely russia's leading search engine and the fourth most commonly used in the world this is its second public offering and basically this time the gump anees chief technical officer and two investment funds are selling their shares around seven and a half percent of the company and they're planning to earn up to six hundred million u.s. dollars so just imagine how much the whole thing is worth now during its first public offering in two thousand and eleven earned over one point four billion u.s. dollars the company was established back in one thousand nine hundred seventy in two thousand and ten it launched an

. >> nic robertson is in islamabad. fill us in on what happened and the investigation. made, but do they know anymore about who was behind this? >> well, michael, you know what, the more we learn about this right now the more tragic it becomes. 41 years old, she'd been a teacher for 24 years. she decided to take her young son to school with her. and her son told us what happened. they'd just got off the bus near the school. they were walking towards the school and he said a motorbike approached from behind, two taliban on it. one of them he said without warning, without saying anything just fired three shots at them. and he said that first shot he felt his mother's blood hit him and she fell down. he said she was shot in the head. they fired three shots again and then said they were going to fire at him. he ran away and came back a little bit later when the taliban had gone. he found his mother dying in front of him. something a young child should never see. this young boy one can only imagine how that's going to affect him in the coming days and weeks, michael. but the

one day there in islamabad. the next day you're in the united arab emirates and you're constantly traveling. there's this book as you mentioned that's constantly updated with word they're going with information. there seems like there's little time to digest what you just did and when -- were you going next or even in this a point even in this of what i think you mentioned in one instance they're planning a trip to latin america in two weeks. is it good to be this fast paced but shouldn't it be more time to digest what's going on? isn't this how mistakes are made? >> guest: let me first thing about what it was like for me to follow through. it is very fast it is very fast-paced and, unfortunately, it's the nature the world that we live in. you don't have the luxury setback and press pause on world events and sake let me first digest what happened in syria before turn my attention to pakistan to its what i want to write the book. i'm a journalist covering daily news, weather, but with secretary of state are her h

one day you're in islamabad, and the next day united arab emirates and you're constantly traveling. this book, constantly updated with where they're going and the information. but there is really little time to actually digest what you just did and where you're going next. even in the midst of one trip you mentioned in one instance, they're planning a trip to latin america in two weeks. is this good -- is it good be this fast-paced? should there be more time to tie jest what is going on? don't -- isn't this how mistakes are made? >> guest: let me first tell you what it was like to follow her. it is very fast paced and it's the nature of the world we live in you don't have the luxury to sit back and press pause and say, let me digest to what happened in syria behalf i turn my attention to pakistan. it's why i wanted to write the book. to sort of take a step back and digest everything i had seep, everything i had learned. i had learned a lot. being in this front row seat to history, to the diplomacy, watching all those different events unfold. and writing the book was a very maturing

afghan defense minister a month or so ago had a very positive relations and positive meetings in islamabadd that is particularly important because getting a little bit on to the afghan side saying that the minister is not just the minister defense and comes with a lot of background on the relationship with pakistan and that he had a positive set of engagements is pretty delegable. it's from the military and the government repeatedly when they do want greater engagement across that border. they want to work to prevent the reoccurrence of 2011 which is one of the things that really drove our relationship in the united states and pakistan into very difficult positions. so i think there is a lot of interest in the engagement and the border security. >> moving to the political dimension of the post 2014 regional picture from islamabad, would you say that there is a commonality or is there an emerging version of the end state if you will presence of training from the coalition countries that the combat troops would be gone but on the political side how would you describe the challenge or the opp

one day you're in islamabad, next day you're in the united arab emirates, and you're constantly traveling. there's this book, as you mentioned, that's constantly updated where -- with where they're going. but it seems like little time to digest what you just did and where you're going next. and even in the midst of one trip, i think you mentioned in one instance they're planning a trip to latin america in two weeks. is this good, is it good to be this fast paced? should there be more time to digest what's going on? isn't this how mistakes would be made? >> guest: let me first tell you about what it was like for me to follow her. obviously, yes, it is very fast paced. and, unfortunately, it's the nature of the world that we live in. you don't have the luxury to sit back and press pause on world events and say let me first digest what happened in syria before i turn my attention to pakistan. it's kind of why i wanted to write the book. obviously, i'm a journalist covering daily news whether it's on the road with the secretary of state or here in washington where i cover foreign policy, and

with a caveat that my involvement was primarily with the pakistani military, not the environment in islamabad, the environment in which we find ourselves today is far more conducive than frankly where i found it when i took command. first of all, i would say that there is real emphasis now on pakistan seeking a constructive bilateral relationship with the afghan national security forces. this is relatively new. it is one that will not come easily. it's going to require some building, because there are trust issues on both sides. we're seeing a willingness by the pakistani military to conduct complimentary -- complementry operations on each side of the borter, which we did years ago but they were frozen in time as a result of a variety of issues. we signed a cross border s.o.p. for the first time between isaf, afghanistan, and pakistan. and we have structured with greater coherence the tripartite commission where the three leaders, the three four stars and all their subordinates are engaged in both strategic, operational, and tactical ferings conversations. that said, with all that potential p

the second time they attacked again just outside islamabad at and there they succeeded.he situation has deteriorated considerably. the deterioration is primarily because the state of pakistan has not clearly made up its mind that all militants, all jihadist groups, all extremists are bad. as long as the state continues to make a distinction and say some of the jihadist groups are an instrument for influencing the region and we have to tolerate them but some of them are really bad guys, the situation is not going to improve. a terrorist is a terrorist. that is something pakistan needs to make a policy. the president of pakistan and the current government which has been in office five years, it's the first civilian government ever to complete its term in pakistan, they have been clear from the first day. they do want to fight all terrorists, but circumstances in pakistan have not allow them to do so. and so, still there are groups that have the ability to organize within pakistan's cities and the tribal areas and there are groups that are outlawed groups. at some point pak

consider them to be part of pakistan, they're within the borders of pakistan, they've not looked to islamabad to fold them into the rest of pakistan will be a real challenge for the country. >> while i have you here i do want to talk about the suicide attack in kabul and the taliban claiming responsibility saying it's an attempt to prevent chuck hagel from, quote, spreading lies about the insurgency's weakness, closed quote. how do we read the taliban's message coming out of this particular attack. >> this is nothing new for them in the waive tactics and in the last year when president obama has visited and when then secretary leon panetta had visited they carried out similar attacks and security installations on an american installation as well. so this is clearly something they'll do knowing they'll get the attention because there are similar -- what will it look like in the country when we pull out in the next few months. >> we've seen reports about the fact that there's conversation going on about how many troops will remain. i can tell you from my time on the ground in waziristan it's of
