Peace talks with the taliban again. We want peace in afghanistan and we would be very happy to be able to return to our country to work because the situation in afghanistan is too bad and its too difficult to live there. So good morning welcome just on 10 here in moscow youre watching international the reigning president says he will unveil a plan for security in the gulf at the u. N. Rouhani also warned against foreign powers meddling in the region amid escalating tensions. If foreign powers are sincere in seeking peace and security they must stop deploying dangerous weapons to our region and provoking an arms race that should stay away because their presence is always real pain and misery but the announcement comes after the u. S. Said it would send more troops to the gulf region that was in response to an attack on a Saudi Oil Refinery washington blames iran for the attack something though to iran rejects arties down hawkins looks now at how the standoff could play. Iran and the United States go way back a relationship at sea in a coup terrorism sanctions even direct confrontation for over half a century its hard to find enemies more bitter could we see all out war the question today on the minds of many and listening to recent rhetoric youd certainly think that possibility is growing that if any country wants to attack iran it will seize territory turn into the conflicts main battlefields will never let any war be dragged into iran we will continue until the end we will continue until the full destruction of any aggressor and we will leave no safe place for enemies and that was a very large attack and it could be met with an attack many many times larger very easily by our country the saudis have called for u. S. Help after those attacks on its all refineries it seems all those billions spent on u. S. Military gadgets werent enough to keep them safe back in may the u. S. Sent an Aircraft Carrier strike group to the gulf to this latest incident the u. S. Was quick to announce another military deployment the president has approved the deployment of u. S. Forces which will be defensive in nature and primarily focused on air and Missile Defense we will also work to accelerate the delivery of military equipment to the kingdom of saudi arabia and the u. A. E. To enhance their ability to defend themselves many see some historical deja vu in this latest move dating back 3 decades at my direction elements of the 82nd Airborne Division as well as key units of the United States air force are arriving today to take up defensive positions in saudi arabia i took this action to assist the Saudi Arabian government in the defense of its homeland operation Desert Shield back then protecting these to the of the region and the worlds oil markets and supply lines was one key factor behalf. Im intervention but much has changed in 3 decades the u. S. Is now the Worlds Biggest Oil producer protecting gulf oil exports just isnt the priority anymore neither is being in the middle of a war between riyadh and tehran the United States is pursuing its own interests and that is to control the floyds flow of oil to the world and that means providing oil to its friends and denying oil to its enemies weve seen the United States embargo oil to play countries like syria the sale of oil from iran sudan libya many other places this is about the United States control over the most important commodity in the world that keeps industry going keeps country standing on their feet and domestic appetite for sending the boys to a place of sand and death is weak according to a recent poll just 13 percent would support a military intervention to protect the saudis adding a 2nd or 3rd party into that kind of tense scenario doesnt necessarily deescalate things if anything it escalates things even further so we get into another war like afghanistan or iraq and get stuck over there for another 1015 years we think iraq was bad iran to be 100000 times worse and we would absolutely destroy there i just think we should be less involved in other World Affairs no desire for conflict with iran this seems to be a war that neither side wants or at least says they want yet still seem to be on a collision course we have made it very clear that we dont want war we have made it very clear that we dont want escalation making a statement and we dont want war we dont want to engage in a military confrontation america 1st has been trumps mantra since before his Election Campaign ending costly conflicts no more world policeman with analysts warning of the devastating costs of a war with iran the u. S. Stands at a crossroads just how high a price are they willing to. Paid to meet their objectives the u. S. As we know is now the worlds Number One Oil producer fracking has changed the nature of Oil Production to in the us and there is an overhang in the oil market so Many Americans are saying why are we interested in the gulf we dont need saudi oil but you know if the lesson the fact of the matter is that oil is not just a product it is leverage over the International Community is geostrategic lee important ever since world war 2 the United States has wanted to control energy in the world so the United States is very loath to leave the gulf even though it doesnt actually need the oil itself. But i thrown in the bullets in the this is an afghan refugee camp where people are desperate to return home this u. S. Peace talks with the taliban again collapse them in hopes of ending nearly 2 decades. A number of us democrats say they may start impingement proceedings against President Donald Trump thats on the back of reports he pressured his ukrainian counterpart to find it on 2020 hopeful joe biden. By failing to act congress is complicit in trumps latest attempt to solicit foreign interference to aid him in the us elections do your constitutional duty and impeach the president at this point a bigger National Scandal isnt the president s low breaking behavior it is the Democratic Party is refusing to impeach him for it if the president is essentially is trying to browbeat a foreign leader into doing something illicit that is providing dirt on his opponent during a president ial campaign then that may be the only remedy that is coequal to the evil that that conduct represents well on sunday trump denied any misconduct while discussing his potential rival during a phone call with the president vladimir selenski back in june he also be kynge the former Vice President of corruption tied to his sons Business Activities in ukraine and conversations come to light after whistleblower claimed that trump solicited help from a foreign leader. As more. Youve got to give it to the democrats theyre hard working bunch especially when somethings related to the biggest pet peeve kalu said but with all attempts over the past 3 years to push trump out of the white house havent for a bit not new rumors have put the fire back in their bellies urgent complaint about President Trump it involves ukraine troubling promise president may have made to a foreign leader years ago 1st got in office were also nervous the donald trump was some sort of sleeper agent who was going to sell america out to a foreign power behind our backs. Well Throwback Thursday no balled into multiple reports of potentially illegal activity new allegations of attempted foreign collusion the Washington Post reported that back in july trump and the newly elected wanted to miss and how did a little chat in which trump asked his ukrainian counterpart to investigate former Vice President joe biden and apparently top level whistleblower leaks that trump unethically said hed be generous with billions worth of American Military and intelligence aid if selenski was cooperative whistleblower is under what i can only imagine must be the most. Intense pressure sharing anything that is truly sensitive and endangers our National Security world a trouble sounds to see but then things took a slightly disappointing turn the Washington Post sort of backtracked and admitted that well actually they might have jumped the gun just to listen. One source familiar with the contents of the phone call so the trim did not raise the issue of American Military and intelligence aid that the administration was at the time withholding from ukraine indicating that there may not be known explicit quid pro quo expressed in the conversation but for the desperate damns even the with of a scandal was enough reports of a reliable whistleblower complaint regarding the president S Communications with a foreign leader priest grief urgent concerns of our National Security when you have the president calling in from other countries and whistleblowers are talking about compromising who has deemed a political enemy this is serious this is very very serious and we have to investigated this is all in the spirit of pursuing justice and protecting the American People from shady political dealings so probably a bit quick that trump was gunning for an investigation into how a bomb as a right hand man biden had pushed for a top ukrainian prosecutor to be fired but hey its probably just a coincidence that the prosecutor was leading a corruption investigation into a Natural Gas Company that bidens son was linked to biden bragging that he basically blackmailed x. President Petro Poroshenko into firing the guy isnt that convincing is it i said you know i get the 1000000000 im going to be leaving iraq i think it was about 6 hours oh look guys im leaving in 6 hours and the prosecutor is not fired youre not getting the money or son of a. Foreigner no not biden surely not he looked so good in those shorts back in the sixtys he had such a lovable bromance with obama he cant be shady i love joe biden but there is still so much good in this country and joe biden i think represents that the democrats will see him as the best choice voters in the battleground state of wisconsin say they favor by never President Trump everyone loves your by if youll trump because an elusive phone call from a secret source reported in a classified document leaked in an article but that corrected itself would be to quote hard evidence and bring the year. Reus democrats knocking at your door but if youre the only candidate your party has mustered up that even stands a chance of getting the vote of the American People in 2020 so you get something thats up for interpretation and turning a blind eye. No harm no foul this is a barn that basically joe biden has set off himself thats going to i think in the end push him perhaps out of contention it seems very much that the democrats like to shift Public Opinion away from their misconduct by alleging misconduct of trump and it fools. A large number of people who are not deep divers into details but its certainly not fooling me and its not full and i think many other pundits around the world will look at this and say the democrats are just deceiving themselves at this point they opened this can of worms trump didnt bring it up 1st they brought it up now that people have brought it back up there are serious questions about what was going on in ukraine i would argue from more forward. Involving corrupt elements of both Political Parties inside our country and the other the democrats are brought this up again i believe trump has a megaphone with his twitter account and were going to get to the bottom of what was really going on in the changing nature of u. S. Ukraine and russia relations going to 2004 forward or maybe even further back than that. A filmmaker is being sued his documentary on the sexual and slave and careen women and by japanese troops before and during world war 2. They were not sex slaves they were prostitutes. Although i dont want i want to. I want to think that if someone you know. Born i thought thats what theyre. Going to go to cure or not. Home for ladies more than ask you to. Come for a minute shoot it has always been a very contentious issue between korea and japan and some people actually think its the most contentious issue between the 2 countries and through my own research i realize that you know my korean friends and japanese friends didnt know certain information i thought if i made a film i could possibly fill in this gap in information and bring more context in hopefully both sides will. You know be able to talk about this more productively after the council in miniature is very taboo in japan and surprisingly a lot of people like the film i notice a lot of people dont like the film are people who havent seen. For the plaintiffs participated in the film and represent the view that there is no direct proof that women were forced into slavery however they claim their views were distorted and that the filmmaker deceived them into thinking that it was for his Academic Research they didnt think it would result in a commercially released documentary where the phrase comfort women is a euphemism for girls who were forced into sex slavery by japanese soldiers in occupied territories at least 200000 young women were made to work in military brothels these women were from across Southeast Asia but the majority of them were from korea when the japanese government issued a statement about all of this back in 1903 tokyo admitted responsibility for sexual coercion of women and apologized to film a chemical things that if. His film is sense that it will violate his right to free speech well i think its definitely a case of freedom of expression and i think my film if it gets silenced or taken down or you know prevent bigger distribution then this is another you know. Expression in japan and its these little tiny digs at freedom of expression that make it really hard for the media and people in general to talk about these issues and so it just becomes one of these things where the powerful people get to say what they want to say about the issue and then the people who have an opposing opinion cant say anything. So its comfy with titian to eliminate sexist definitions from oxford dictionary more than 30000. 00 signatures will have a look at one word in particular theyre annoyed to baghdad just awful. You know worlds big partners. A lot and conspiracy its time to wake up to dig deeper to get the stories that Mainstream Media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. And shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now were watching closely watching the hawks. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy let it be an arms race is on offer and spearing dramatic developments only closely im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. Hello again you with artane are representatives of the terror group the taliban have met chinas envoy to afghanistan meeting in beijing on sunday was aimed at reviving failed peace talks with the u. S. With donald trump abruptly ended those talks earlier this month after a u. S. Soldier was killed in a Taliban Attack in kabul with hopes of an end to the 2 decades long war dimming again arties poor slave visited an afghan refugee camp in pakistan where people are longing to return home. Im here in an afghan refugee camp in the pakistani capital islamabad more than a 1000 families call this home and there was a small percentage of the more than 1000000. Refugees who have moved to pakistan in the past 4 decades now they keenly watching developments across the border with the american President Donald Trump recently announcing that he is withdrawing from secret talks of the taliban and russia stepping up to the mark for People Living here what happens in those talks has a direct impact on their lives im going to meet a man can family to see how they feel about things among the one we came here from afghanistan and we dont have a stable income sometimes and sometimes we dont only hour is keeping us alive with them nice though were happy here in afghanistan we had the land and the house we didnt see bread and butter for years. We came here to work because the situation in afghanistan is too bad and its too difficult to live there we are poor people and we have no limbs and have only god well you know of course we want our children to be well educated and to attend school our family runs a store the market would earn hardly anything im suffering from here the titles but i dont have enough money to buy medicine as you can see they dont have very much its 10 people who live here in 3 mad rooms and they survive by selling fruits and vegetables on the sides of the road shaheen is one of the Community Leaders so he how would you say the pakistani government treats afghan refugees afghan refugees live slightly better here than its hard but we dont have full rights we want to have the same rights as pakistanis no after he gets a driving license or a car we want peace in afghanistan we will be very happy to be able to return to our country the pakistani Prime Minister in one can in an interview i did with him said that pakistan is willing to do whatever it needs to do to make sure that the talks in afghanistan work america however needs to send its soldiers home but the americans. Will have to of course leave on a stone and i think president dr wants the u. S. Soldiers to leave one is thought this is not a lot more than parkas the. Can do then what it is already doing which is urging the. Only who it has influence to sit down and talk to the americans which was to have done and also talk to the of on government which they havent done as yet for the more than 1000000 afghan refugees in pakistan they dont have much but the belief that one day they will return home is something making to. R t islamabad he spoke to afghan journalist javits a think he says the peace talks between the us and the taliban must regime. Theres been a whole studios of wonder for jews for the last 4 decades almost. These of living in. Camps they have no become a part of Pakistani Society they have dual liberty or an economic interest or financial interest in this country and did or did want to go back unless the situation into one of these peaceful and stable. People for it to get a lot to reach a negotiated settlement of the crisis of thought is behind the scene in communication with the u. S. And also reveal. That there must be more of these these talks are. All crisis our political crisis solution is no solution. More than 30000. 00 people have signed a petition urging oxford dictionaries to remove sexist definitions of the word woman among synonyms quality dark baggage bit and wench plus others of a more crude nature to you we spoke to Maria Beatrice youve been are the who launched the petition to have the words removed. They are sexist because the the use very patronizing language as well as. Mentioning and offensive so for example they use sentences such as i told you to be home when i get home a little one or. If that doesnt work theyll become women of the streets a lot of objectify women in a sexual way if you look on the matter for example there is not derogatory synonyms whatsoever we think that the dictionary has to be careful to sort of have to be a prescriptive text meaning any support limits to what including its in this dictionary because. Otherwise youre simply playing the game of the Patriarchal Society actually instructing people to be sexist well Oxford University press that respond to the criticism it says it does record how woods are used and wont exclude words just on the grounds that they are offensive or derogatory online opinion is divided. These different issues in the oxford dictionary are insane i cant believe they still exist in 2019 what is it with guys and their obsessive need to correct a womans grammar doesnt help them feel important or something just signed reading that petition itself and the example cindy oxford dictionary is even more infuriating it is almost entirely sexist and degrading to women adding or removing words from the dictionary doesnt change what people do or say or are no a book of words that includes all words can have the success already house and calling a strong points as a proposal to eliminate sexist words is stupid but think is there anyone to start censoring the english language lets see a gender play here these or radical war this radical feminist who is trying to ban or bid certain words thats whats wrong not the yacc oxygen diversity dictionary solution to end our derogatory but they are in common usage and if we start censoring them what we burn in books next this woman is or a ridiculous absolutely or ridiculous trying to curry a storm of nothing. So thats how the news is looking so far today here on r. T. Dont forget there are plenty of stories for you to you at our website you can find that at r. T. So. Its. And very well may continue your whats an awesome to see. The tense situation in venezuela is still all over the news the problem in venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been played only template for inside venezuela things look different were going to announce sanctions against petroleum to venezuela so if you. Have a supplement to. The tempest and political battle so on the people of the moment the focus of the who story isnt new makes him called in Henry Kissinger to tell him that it would not be tolerated in latin america. An alternative economic and social system could take hold and therefore the policy would be to make the. Economy scream so wants and making the economy of venezuela screed. Hello and welcome to cross talk were all Things Considered im Peter Lavelle the recent attack on saudi Energy Installations has red faced many in washington and the kingdom we will tell you why also uncle joes travails in ukraine a story begging to be revealed for a very long time. Cross talking some real news im joined by my guests here in moscow going decent he is a professor at the Higher School of economics as well as author of decay of western civilization and resurgence of russia we also have Alex Christopher hes a director and writer for the duran dot com and were joined by Dmitri Bobbitt she is a political analyst and editor at innocent me internet media project all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate glenn let me go to you 1st here saudi arabia is the 3rd largest spender a military hardware in the world after the United States and china. And were told at least who these claim that they attacked those installations last week and. Theres a lot of red faces in washington and riyadh right now i mean. Do they have do they actually use military hardware or is it the wrong kind or is it just expenditures no one is really explained this but of course we know one thing its a rants. Well the big joke typically has been the saudi arabia has this huge wonderful military but nobody knows how to use it. However so the problem goes a bit deeper than that i think because it also shows you can truly measure military strength saul in terms of the amount of money you spend on arms. For so you should get some modicum of defense attorney because when you see it yes of course but when you for example compare how how would a couple of military conflict look here between saudi arabia and iran often people fail to take account of very simple or cheap drone can be used to attack a military installation and these. Energies elation and and this is
