. >>> let's talk more about this with sam kiley following developments from us from abu dhabi. first up, can you elaborate how the withdrawal may affect the peace talks. >> well, there are two different alternative scenarios. the first is they clearly could affect peace talks in a positive way. as a sign of good faith coming from the united states, given that the taliban's demands are that the united states withdraw entirely as part of any long-term settlement with the central government in afghanistan, which i stress is not part yet of these talks. the flip-side of that argument, as jeremy was pointing out, this could be seen as a sign of weakness, a sign that the americans want to get out after an 18 years of a highly expensive deployment, come what may, and may be prepared to abandon the afghan government. the truth probably lies between the two different alternatives. natalie, i have been covering afghanistan since 2001. there hasn't been a senior officer from nato that i have spoken to there any time since 2008 who hasn't been firmly of the view that essentially it was pre

sam kiley has more about it from abu dhabi. >> reporter: the confirmation that saudi citizen saudi member of the royal air force there muhammad al shamrani was the gunman who murdered three others before he was gunned down himself by sheriff's deputies in florida couldn't come at a worse time for saudi arabia, both diplomatically and militarily, it relies incredibly heavily on the relationship particularly between the saudi air force and the united states. it is a major purchaser, of course, of american aircraft. and air power. and it needs those pilots to get trained. at the same time, it is in a very tense standoff, indeed, with nearby iran, with recent rocket taxi on its oil facilities being blamed on that islamic theocracy. and whatever the motives behind these attacks, they inevitably conjure up memories going all the way back to 9/11, when the majority of the terrorists involved in those atrocities were from saudi arabia. and questions that have been raised, almost constantly, about saudi arabia's influence in the wider dissemination of extremist ideology through the whahhabi creed

kiley atwood is a cnn national security reporter and joining me from washington. what are you hearing about this? >> we spoke with a senior administration official this morning who said that xiyue wang is in very good health, he's in good spirits and is really looking forward to coming home. we have a photo that was tweeted out this morning from the state department of wang with brian hook, who is a senior state department official. the senior white house official who spoke with reporters this morning said this is a very good outcome for the united states. this is an american who has been wrongfully detained in iran for more than three years. and they are hopeful that this will lead to positive momentum when it comes to the other americans being wrongfully detained in iran because we should note that there are other americans who are still there and have not yet been released. >> so what an incredible experience he has had. do we have any kind of idea what kind of debriefing will be -- what kind of information will be extrapolated from any debriefing that will lik

sam kiley is in deli. so many people there in the streets. what is their objection to this bill?ef, quickly, there will be an application to the supreme court, making the argument on behalf of students and academics at one of the top islamic institutions. this is a scene of violence. they claim meted out against them by police. they look to overturn the citizens act, dominated pardon me parliament over the legislatures a week ago. it gives them an opportunity to seek nationality from india and pakistan, so long as they are not muslim. that violates, the plaintiffs argue, the constitution, which guarantees freedom of worship under the law. and legislates against any religious discrimination. this is against a ground of a growing sense of the muslim minority in this country, numbering some 200 million people. 14% of this fast nation, the world's biggest democracy, they are falling increasingly victim to what they say is increasingly hindu nationalist agenda being set by mr. modi. he did campaign earlier this summer, on a hindu nationalist platform. this, they say is the government.
