and i hope mr khalilzad, as i said, will play a role in the context of the south asia strategy of theor infrastructure, terror groups, and we have to end it. if that though means talking peace, coming to a deal with the taliban, which would thereby remove pakistan's influence, if you're correct, in afghani daily life, isn't that a price worth paying? well, we are not saying we should remove pakistan's influence on afghanistan, we say we must legitimise pakistan's influence on afghanistan. if they respect us, if they see us as a state, if they see us as a nation, if they see us as an equal neighbour and partner, they can have massive, legitimate interest and influence in afghanistan and no afghan will oppose that. but if they want to put a gun on our head and then they say — and ask us to accept their dictate, that will never happen. afghans are ready to pay an even a higher price and not be dictated to. you know the dichotomy about afghanistan is we are very poor, but in the meantime, very proud. a lot of people think to come here and exploit our poverty and push us into, into becomin

goal in south asia these days and that is to find a way to get a deal with the taliban that will allow the united states to withdraw troops from afghanistan that's one of president trump's biggest goals and they the pakistanis have indeed said that if there is an indian military strike in pakistan that would quote affect. these u.s. taliban talks so the question now is was that just the bluff by the pakistanis are no good the pakistanis decided to stop for operating and essentially try to dissuade the taliban from talking to the united states so there is that link for sure my home in with the wilson center in washington d.c. mr goodman we appreciate your time tonight and your valuable insights thank you. thanks for having me. well the vatican calls the news painful australian card on george pell has been convicted on five counts of sexually assaulting children that makes him the bad akins former treasurer the highest ordained member of the catholic church to ever be found guilty of pedophilia says he is innocent when news of his conviction comes just after the pope's historic summit on

we start off with developments in south asia and many carriers agree about in flights and thai airwaysion to cancel all of its journeys to europe. this comes as the airspace has been closed as the kashmir crisis intensified. india has demanded the release of a fighter pilot shot down by pakistani warplanes. it came after india struck what it says was a terrorist training camp in retaliation for a suicide bombing which killed 14 indian troops in kashmir. earlier, i spoke to an economist in london who says neither country can afford for the crisis to escalate. my view is it is not going to continue to escalate. i think all heads will prevail, you have already seen prime minister imran khan asking the un to help mediate, and india turning to the us, uk, china and france. —— cooler. indeed, both countries do not want this to escalate because pakistan they have economic issues, pakistan they have economic issues, pakistan just had an international monetary fund bailout, so they would not want this to be a problem going forward. you're absolutely right, neither country can afford for this to

that struck megs after the south asia strategy was announced and a number of u.s. forces was small, it didn't even make the newspapers anymore. , 2017nt much of 2016 early 2018 -- for someone like me who spends a lot of time in afghanistan, it was hard to get a newspaper journalist to call you up, nobody cared anymore. i don't know that most americans would care that much except that if we had a lot of americans coming back in body bags. his such aaying out small presence, it is highly unlikely as we look at what is happened even in afghanistan the last couple of years. be, here isuld where we are going, here is what our objective is. anre not going to promise immediate withdrawal. we will pull out as soon as we have something that protects our national interests and i would leave it at that. areense is as long as we not losing many american soldiers, americans will be focused on other things. will wants to take it right away. one of the reasons americans haven't been paying attention to this is because in foreign policy, elites are the queue givers that prompt ame

i think one of the things that struck me after the south asia strategy was announced in the number of u.s. forces was pretty small is you didn't even make the newspapers anymore. 2016 late 2018f -- for someone like me to spend a lot of time in afghanistan, it was hard even to get a newspaper journalist to call you up to talk. nobody cared anymore. it was all syria and iraq and other places. i do know if most americans would care that much mostly a lot of americans coming back in body bags. when laying out is such a small presence is highly unlikely as we look at what happened even afghanistan over the past the focusars, i think would be here's where we are going and here's where objective is. we are not going to promise of we wille withdrawal and pull out as soon as we have something that protects our natural -- national interest in my sense is as long as we are not losing many american soldiers americans are going to be focused on other things. >> i can see will want to take this right away. >> one of the reasons why americans have admin paying attention to this is because in foreign

now to a chaotic day of military strikes between india and pakistan pushing south asia into its worst security crisis in twenty years pakistan says it shot down two indian war planes in captured one pilot india has demanded he be returned immediately india says its forces also down the pakistani jet something islamic denies both sides have carried out strikes in the last two days indian on the first raids after an attack by a pakistan based group in the disputed kashmir region killed forty one troops thirteen days ago forces from both countries have also exchanged fire and kashmir says six civilians have been killed its prime minister has now appealed for talks. in iran kong reports. what caused this indian fighter jet to cross is disputed between these two youth. but it was evidence that pakistan and india were confronting each other in the skies above the borders and it prompted this appeal from pakistan's prime minister a man called to india's leader nur interim ot. sort of one year but aren't we decided to take action today we only wanted to show india that we're able to and if yo

and france remain in syria as well david does russia is an associate professor at the near east south asia center for security studies and previously sabs at the pentagon he says keeping a small number of u.s. troops in syria is a political gesture. it's not a large number of forces so it's too small to be militarily significant so when you look at it has to be political politically significant and i think there's two possible messages one to the turks is that yes we are serious about protecting your interests as you see it and so we're willing to keep our forces here in order to restrain the kurdish elements of the syrian democratic forces from align themselves with the p k k attack in turkey and i think the second message will be to the y.p. g. forces which is that you're not going to be abandoned we will have a presence on the ground here to restrain the turks from attacking you so in extent and in practice it looks as though these guys will almost be. there as hostages to both sides to keep them on their best behavior before this report that we're going to be no troops being left there

also a vast number i mean most of the people are immigrants coming in from some of these stations south asia so there are many political elements that actually overlap in this and this makes it actually what is his in other words the u.a.e. is becoming more christian in the sense i think that the point is not that it's an assertive becoming more christian but that he sexually becoming more of multicultural state which in a sense always was i think that probe lead the coming of the pope to being alone to make these people coming to terms with what a multicultural community it's been given that diversity against that backdrop we know that pope francis yesterday he made a joint call with a top muslim cleric for inter religious tolerance on that call do you think it's going to make a difference innovation i mean the scholar in question so actually the director of the president of the university which is most important sunni center for learning in egypt i mean in the world and it's located in egypt and they have known each other for really quite a while. this is i think to a large degree a gestur

immigrant community but many many fold so these are people coming mostly from southeast asia and south asia indians filipinos and cetera working there so the question of human gratian and really. quite a bit then you also have the question that need of christian community center norms pressure by an entire collection of conflicts which have resulted in deaths i mean in torture have the results and. so i think that are things that are very much sort of part of the conversation the question is how much the leadership can do the vatican believes you know that the leadership we do. can offer both protection and for better integration of what was said last night in the speech during this encounter with the university about giving people full citizenship and full rights and he was obviously talking about minorities which are inside those communities i mean the christian community world but actually in many cases are deprived of basic rights so the idea is really that citizenship it's important to integration into into religious into religious harmony i mean a lot of christians in the region they
