Warm welcome youre watching r. T. 1 international with me and if you are in our top story this hour u. S. President donald trump has confirmed negotiations with the taliban have been scrapped it had been hoped they would bring americas longest war to an end blames the insurgent groups recent attack in kabul in which an american soldier was killed. They thought that that it killed people in order to put themselves in a little better to go charity visitation where they did that they killed 12 people one happened to be a Great American soldier you cant do that cant do that with me so theyre dead as far as im concerned and weve hit. The taliban harder in the last 4 days that theyve been hit over 10 years we beat them militarily but as soon as we leave it seems to form again we would beat them very easily militarily if we wanted to by doing certain things and im not talking clear we could have that over with very very rapidly but youd lose millions and millions of lives and i dont want to do that thats how about hes warning though that cancelling the talks will result in more american losses chungs decision to call off the talks which could have ended americas 18 years of military involvement in afghanistan dream bipartisan criticism washington initially talked to the taliban for giving shelter to al qaeda terrorists but before not u. S. Relations with the group were rather different see if explains off the almost 2 decades of war this could have been the big break but no back to war as luck would have it peace in the. On the medias mind when they found out they were outraged that trump should talk to the enemy it was murderous villains who their fight against the us occupation. The problem with the council of afghanistan talks was not the timing or recent taliban violence it was the reality that the talks were designed to provide a cover for u. S. Troop withdrawal rather than peace and would help the taliban while undermining the Afghan Government never should lead is a terrorist organization that hasnt renounced kind of love and continues an evil be allowed in a great country never full stop for the us to meet with the taliban and not have the leader of afghanistan to make meet with the taliban is something thats doomed to failure the whole thing doesnt quite make sense i mean its just another example of the president truly treating our Foreign Policy like its some kind of game show this isnt a game show these are terrorists listening to them youd never know that by the late ninetys the taliban which was already hosting asama bin laden were invited to the us is on the guests for business by Us Energy Company talks and laying pipelines talks supported by the government it was very you know they have this shadow we image i guess you call it that i found very straightforward and. I think the Clinton Administration was really committed to helping you know American Business to be successful. We enjoyed. Really strong support. For military analyst julie sirs to report for the Defense Intelligence agency pointing out that there were alternatives to the taliban we didnt go down well with her superiors. The state department didnt want to have anything to do with the Afghan Resistance war even politically to reveal that there was any viable option to do taliban she was apparently forced out soon after i heard that some people at the state department were people among those more sympathetic with the taliban at that time so there might have been some political reasons as well but ultimately i was forced to leave a year later bin laden and al qaida orchestrated 2 attacks on us embassies in africa 224. 00 People Killed and yet still the us entertained the taliban the same taliban then governing of gotta start and which tolerated al qaida on its soil was invited back to the us 2001 on the fischel state visit during which jihadism dignitaries explained their virtuous treatment of woman and now when theres the security or when our going. Over working. Its right there. In the ministry of defense. Its very bad we dont use them as of this. Theyre not for you or. For many other things women shouldnt be 4 months before 911. 00 the u. S. Sent 43000000. 00 to the taliban a reward for fighting narcotics trafficking who would have known that just months later america would invade to start a war that would last for almost 2 decades the United States have been cooperated with jibing in afghanistan for a long time they didnt see them as that dangerous they saw them as people who would stay over there. And they thought they could use them this changed on 9111 hand it does seem hypocritical for the United States to meet with the taliban today after promising to destroy them on the other hand its the necessity of defeat the United States has been fighting for 18 years and it is the American Public is tired of it the u. S. Wouldnt hear a bad word about the taliban why did the mover is on a guest plan to build pipelines together but peace talks in 2019 that obviously is something america just current and paid. Well and he wants of us Richard Becker joins me now live thank you for joining us on the program mr becker of the media has called donald trump decision unexpected now considering the death toll over 18 years of conflicts do you think the president s decision is going to risk more lives and more years of war. Well i think that what we can see happening is a struggle inside of the trumpet ministration with both that on one side and pump a lot of the other and how to move forward and we can see also that i think that one pale has in mind the possibility of an alliance between the United States and the taliban when the taliban was going because the government that it could be an ally just as the merger had the who are the predecessors to the taliban were allies of the United States for 15 years starting and i think the 7th time in the war against the elected government of the soviet union so i think that is the reality of. What again right now is a battle thats being played out but certainly its not conceivable its not credible that the reason the talks were called off was just because there was another military engagement there. Everyone knows that women are doing that in the conversation they will specify their. Very high in order and about it. And theres just a cold between the taliban and the us whats going to happen to it now i think its very hard to say whats going to happen i dont think it has settled matter i think that there was a great act edition inside the white house from. National security advisor to making peace both the generally and making peace i got to go to see a vision that i want to go for on a victory a lot of victory is not really possible and ive got a sense that United States so you have another faction that pump aoe which is looking for this alternative which could even mean bringing afghanistan to the u. S. Fold under attack. A truck was adamant he wanted to remove all u. S. Things from the ground in afghanistan do you think thats going to happen while hes in office. I think thats a highly doubt. I think that we do have to remember though that it was that the problem better carried out of. It was by all indication it was al qaeda which was and. Instead of trying to resolve that issue United States plunged into a war the longest in u. S. History and i dont think theres any sign that theres going to be. A whole pullout of u. S. Troops i have to say that we in the answer coalition notice there is a war and the troops have been based in an. Antiwar activist Richard Becker thank you for your time if you. Are the latest bid by british Prime MinisterBoris Johnson to call a general election has been thwarted the British Parliament has just voted to reject what the pm called the only way to avoid a no deal break this it comes off though bruising week for johnson he was already lost another vote on the same issue last week so he added he has more on brakes if the latest twists and turns. Well its been a very hectic and fast paced night in parliament in the seating and i was all carrying up to this crucial crunch vote on Boris Johnsons motion for a snap general election which as expected m. P. s have again rejected following a gang the rejection from last week now is the final act on todays dramatic sequence in parliament before its officially suspended or prorogue till october the 14th which is a mammoth 5 weeks away of course last week forest johnson suffered a mecca of bruising throughout the bricks it situations that happened then he suffered many a huge defeat over his do or die no brecks it plus yet again on a snap general election having said that even at this last minute 11th hour moment hes still maintaining that directs it needs no delay. Is the point of. Delivery thats what they want. To force us to. Do. I would. There are no circumstances in which i ask to do that were leaving the 31st of october gives us were going to fulfill the repeated promises of parliament to the people and come out of the e. U. On october 31st no weve all got well todays timetable was mammoth us included to emergency debates plus a motion from Boris Johnson on a snap general election of course the 1st emergency to pay it requires the release of no deal planning documents now it was actually went through with the majority of 9 technically m. P. s should now have access to that why for messages dating back to the 23rd of july which is of course when Boris Johnson became Prime Minister plus operation yellow how is the crucial no deal preparation files they too must also be. We disclose now the government has responded to all of this to this motion saying it will share the appropriate information with parliament but says this all unprecedented and up saluted disproportionate in their opinion again the 2nd emergency debate that was discussed in Parliament Today is a further blow to Boris Johnson which was germy corbins emergency debate on the rule of law that went through without a vote now and it was all about the worries and concerns that the government would not respect the rule of law that was passed last week by m. P. s all about a no deal drek says so this current parliamentary session now wraps up and for the opposition its been somewhat of a good day but for Boris Johnson he could be stopped in his no deal tracks even before he got started. From a british m. P. George galloway believes a snap election would be the best way of getting some clarity on briggss. Haase to be an election because the government cannot govern and the opposition are not in a position to govern and if youre trying to stop bricks it and stop the people voting in a general election at the same time well frankly youre only postponing the inevitable so definitely there will be an election if not in october then in november when the nights are dark and cold and wet and the result i suspect will not be to the liking of those blocking an election time is running out for a resolution of that affair and of course when time runs out i. E. On halloween a 11 pm in the evening then thats it were out of the European Union all manner of things could happen of course between now and then the Prime Minister could go to brussels but not ask for an extension one or more members of the European Union could to refuse an extension the government say that they will stay within the law but that they will test the law the tensions have flight between israelis and palestinians after the death of a prisoner and in israeli custody now story and more after the break stay with us. You know world big part of their lives and conspiracy its time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth. The time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. The barbarians the vandals on wall street are now plundering your bank account with a negative interest in astronomy comic policy theres no economics behind it that would cue to any school of economics that has ever existed as dr michael i suppose said since the bronze age its just right very. Welcome back other simians have clashed with the Israeli Police while protesting against the death of an inmate in israeli jails the palestinian Prime Minister himself is accused israel of premeditated murder of the prisoner due to medical negligence the money question had been suffering from cancer Israels Prison Service has confirmed a man serving his sentence for murder and kidnapping died in hospital. The latest tensions come as the u. S. Special envoy for middle east peace has resigned causing further doubt on Israeli Palestinian relations jason greene blunt was a key figure in the trump administrations efforts in the region and its unclear if his successor will be able to put his proposals into practice the man taking over is berkowitz he graduated from law school 3 years ago and according to reports has no middle east experience up to now hes worked as an aide to trumps son in law jared krishna. Meanwhile the former envoy blacks had received criticism in the arab world for unpopular decisions after supporting the relocation of the u. S. Embassy to jerusalem and recognizing israeli sovereignty over the good and heights but his decision to leave the job is now raising questions over what happens next guests debated how the deal of the century idea could work out. First of all lets agree that the there there might be a plan that the Us Administration is working on but the peace is not part of it and the palestinians are not part of it then thats why the palestinians have taken the very logical approach in forming the International Committee that so long as this administration does not recognize palestinian rights for International Law there is really not much to talk about if the palestinians are going to simply boycott mr green blood boycott mr trump boycott the saudis boycott anything before they even seen the play and then theres no opportunity for a gauge mitt this is the time for engagement not for boycotts and when you start to boycott the arab world and the United States youre going down a very slippery slope. No but is well i can tell the audience i have with palestine is an integral part of the arab world mr greenblatt is someone who has is not only committed ideologically to the Settler Movement he is a contributor to the entrancement of the settlements regime which is illegal under International Law in the heart of the occupied west bank so there was never. A moment where this Administration Even made a slight effort to give the impression that it has any inclination or any interest in being balanced in being objective its the Palestinian Authority that have got to get with the program they live in the middle east that they essentially believe they are the center of the middle east and theyre really theyve really become a footnote and theyre about to throw the throw themselves excuse me into the waste basket of history of the less they begin to engage with the greatest superpower on earth which is the troubled ministration who truly wants the best for the Palestinian People and is trying yet again after 25 years of failures to help the Palestinian People and their israeli neighbors come to a diplomatic political and economic solution palestinians throughout the past years with successive american administrations have bent over backwards to try and reach a solution that would guarantee a real 2 state formula now if youre talking about formulas that were presented that would give the palestinians far less than a state then naturally the palestinian leadership which is accountable to the Palestinian People cannot accept something that is not acceptable less than a palestinian state its time for the Palestinian Authority to pony up and get with the program so that they can achieve the type of independence that israel can have the type of the rights and security that the jewish people so much deserve in this part of the world so its a win win recognizing israels illegal annexation of jerusalem. Has been rejected worldwide recognizing israels illegal annexation of the syrian golan has been rejected worldwide a win win situation in the middle east is quite simple and it starts by putting the occupation in the historic waste bin. A russian journalist who returned to moscow on saturday as part of a historic prisoner swap with ukraine has spoken to reporters curvaceous king was arrested in kiev in may 28th on charges of treason and was released from pretrial detention late last month as well as giving a press conference he spoke to our correspondent with the details his maria for national. But the 52 year old russian journalist with ukrainian passport who spent 470. 00 days in detention in ukraine more than 15 months the time will confess to us definitely became a task for him not only professionally but as a human being this is how he described the Biggest Challenges and the hardest moments for him while in detention some of them the hardest thing was the Living Conditions because its a shock when someone 1st enters prison i had in my hands the boat for toiletries a toothbrush and toothpaste the 2nd part of this thing was to get over the shock of everything that was happening to me because i understood that it had nothing to do with the law i understood that its absolutely political and also realized that by law i could not protect myself how interview didnt last more than 15 minutes but i saw tears in kids our eyes so many times during this time its really hard to understand what hes been through but whatever it was definitely brought so much pain and frustration and to deal definitely as far as i understood from what he was telling me feels really bad about his case but there is much more than just that. All the people arriving in moscow whereas in ukraine only military officers and men of military. Out of the airplane the sort of people know what theyre going for while its humiliating to have women and old people in jail there was a woman who was 6 months pregnant in the detention facility where i was she helped to organize the crimean referendum in 24 team she was put in prison for that just a few words about his case to remind you he used to be they had of russias agencies in kiev ukraine until one day in may 2013 he was arrested over a Treason Charges by ukraines as be you National Security agency and if guilty he could face up to 15 years in prison he was never Proven Guilty and he denied all the way through these promises all the allegations and all the charges that this case brought some International Attention and repeated condemnation from the lawyers see kitty all told me he has no doubts that his case was and remains a political case that its such a stupid to deny that its a political process and its i and my release and it ended like that because there was a change of administration i knew that as long as pershing co was in power i would remain in prison i thought what profession would protect me work according to strict standards if i followed all of these journalistic standards there was nothing they could arrest me for but it turned out there was because poroshenko created a big political story together with lots of ministration. You know added he hopes to hold those responsible who will eventually be brought to justice and he also said hes not a politician but again he hopes that what happened to him and 34 other people exchanged and released from ukraine in detention would eventually mark the beginning of a new era of the era of better positive relations between ukraine and russia with more dignity. And more respect. The u. S. Budget deficit is expected to hit one trillion dollars next year and questions are being raised about how american taxpayer money is being used and a report by a kentucky senator has highlighted some of the more bizarre examples of government spending. They were joining us here on r. T. International were back in 30 minutes with the latest headlines and see that. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport this list im showbusiness ill see that. The world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. No dares thinks. We dare to ask. Well you know the hard thing weve kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. I mean theyre in this small ball its next to the hard pool of ships and its scary. You might not be down to. The level of self to be told fish already 90 percent of the dot and wall in the collar. Cons to 15 scoops 75. 00 tons and they do it several times a day with a big fleet so no you get an idea on why the ocean is full which. We have to understand we can all stay still and just. Be with them this will be used feel more enthusiastic. Im doing this because i want the future world to the future generations to have out and enjoy. Theyre all. Attempting to end one war while avoiding a new one as usual the trumpet ministrations Foreign Policy is unpredictable and even contradictory there are no better examples than afghanistan during. The film begins in hawaii in the middle of the Pacific Ocean in spite of the islands remote location it is also foreman that day and to the epidemic of the 21st century plastic. And plastic pollution is littering beaches and endangering certain species of animals no matter how remote or out of reach. But. In this new bar a tree in the north of the occupied ago scientists study marine animals not plastic at least in theory. No idea what that is. That its certainly a plastic. Jessica apparel man is a biologist accustomed to finding plastic in fish stomachs she has started a very unique collection. Casually often faster bags. This was all coiled up in the stomach when i found it had no idea what it wasnt all that it just. Or did you react when. I was shocked i started documenting it measuring it taking photos showing whoever else was around in the lab and we were kind of. We were just shocked to think that these fish are are really ingesting this i mean. To her disbelief the scientist has found plastic in the unlikely specimen known as the long fish. The young researcher was not expecting such a surprising discovery when she began her work on this species. Is fish live at a depth of about 200 to 400 meters and theyre clearly coming in contact with plastic and it appears that plastic is is truly a deeper problem that we might have imagined. Even swimming at these depths the long sit fish manages to swallow trivial plastic objects and the i mean occasionally you might find a brand name such as this dishonor bottle label and what is this so this is a label from a water bottle
