product is specifically occurring on a piece of disputed territory between pakistan and india, namely kashmiriously failed to secure financing from the world bank and asian development bank and while that was not a block of china, pakistan likely rejected the financing, we think, due to indian and us pressure and came out by saying we will you lash refinance the project. another country counting on china's support is bit zimbabwe which seems to be in the headlines from its ongoing political crisis. joining us now is our business reporter matt morrison. both countries over the decades have had a steadfast relationship. stead fast, heartfelt, going all the way back to zimbabwe's is independent. they have been side—by—side. china is taking a long—term view of this. i spoke to a legal person in china and that he said china's policy is to wait it out. they have a lot of money involved, including investments. they will start there and in between 2012 and 2013, they invested in 128 projects. this trend is continuing during a president between xi jinping in 2015. $4 billion of deals we re jinping in

there is a china pakistan economic corridor which india says passes through the disputed territory of kashmir so beyond the economic competition with one belt one road it seems there could be other road blocks to overcome before it becomes a real competitor. how does this if we crunch the numbers compare financially to t.v. thier nafta just the size of this deal well it's kind of hard to make a black and white comparison here because they are so different if you look at p.p. or t.t. ip or nafta or any of those trade deals. i mean one belt one road is not a deal right it's a massive project that's going to include all sorts of infrastructure projects and it's going to include a bank which some people think could eventually rival the world bank if the project is actually successful and obviously would increase china's presence all over the world so they're so different it's hard to say what it would do but if it is successful would certainly be a major trade disruptor especially if you listen if the u.s. stays in the t.t.p. and after they pull out it would still have massive implications right

there is a china pakistan economic corridor which india says passes through the disputed territory of kashmir so beyond the economic competition with one belt one road it seems there could be other road blocks to overcome before it becomes a real competitor. how does this if we crunch the way comparison here because they are so different project that's going to include a successful and obvious stay very broad of what about europe what effect could it have there while it's not as much of a threat to europe as it is to the u.s. for a few reasons even if the t.t. ip falls apart or the e.u. doesn't establish it now right i mean as far as we know the u.s. is. trying to is a huge demoed. is a huge deal you know.

taliban never did where what pakistan tried to .o was say we have good taliban groups that fight in kashmir, and then there's the bad taliban. so you have this dynamic going , and it's that the good telegram supports the bad taliban. this is in the bin laden files. when the pakistani government wanted to negotiate a truce, who did they reach out to? to the goodut television. they try and facilitate and truce, so that is the dynamic that we see. what they do not understand is that these groups, the good taliban shelters the bad taliban. they provide money and weapons and everything they need to survive, and that is the dynamic that we see publicly, and i think it is part of the dynamic inside the document as well. to how doesback osama bin laden live in pakistan without them knowing. this checkpoints to go from age to b to c all throughout the .ity >> was there anything so far in the document files that shows ? e recent release >> that is the information where they are trying to negotiate a truce. >> right, but i mean not just a truce. i mean real cooperation. >> this is what we are working
