Within the alliance with a man you all might call still cost and doubt and its pompous we look at why the nato can go on as it is. Its just gone 3 pm here in moscow for myself on the whole team at r. T. C. H. Q. A very well welcome to the program and our 1st story for you this hour u. S. President donald trump chose to spend his thanksgiving taking part in the puff that photo opportunity and paying his fast evidence that. American troops base and he had a message for them he told them that talks with the taliban declared dead just 2 months ago on my colleague daniel whole constituents this with maria phone off. They call it a surprise visit but the motives behind it are rather clear since day one day one of his presidency mr trump wanted to and the war in afghanistan the bloody almost 2 decades long conflict that took so Many American lives and so Many American dollars trump wanted to end it for his own kristis at home until hes global influence in that region and internationally of course and hes been given these promises so many times that thanksgiving feels that short visit to afghanistan was all of that to demonstrate hes in charge and he is taking everything under control and everything is according to his plan and peace is near thats a perfect plan and you know strong promises except we heard that before and so many times. The taliban wants to make a deal well see if they want to make a deal its going to be a real deal but well see talking to the taliban have a very good discussions well see what happens talking about a plan i dont know whether or not a plan is going to be accepted or acceptable to me and maybe its not going to be acceptable to them but we are talking we have good talks going and well see what happens in these negotiations have been quite stops have there been any successes in the past it would be unfair to say that there wasnt any success because for almost a year a trans key negotiator mr heller former ambassador to afghanistan held 9 rounds of talks extensive talks with the taliban very influential on the ground in afghanistan everybody agrees that they say is a player and no one can ignore and the peace cannot be restored without although many countries still view them as a terrorist group some were saying that to merica was closed and these negotiations were success but that it was called off last minute because of the bloody incident and dozens of lives including an american soldier so some say that america is losing this game in afghanistan. Because trump is trying to play as solo game there are so many people. On afghanistan led by most by iran but always rejects all the invitations and never takes part in these talks and hes trying to kind of settle it all on his own and just before go into afghanistan this thanksgiving he posted a photo shopped picture of himself as rocky balboa and i think this is how he feels maybe and maybe this is what he wants to be for afghanistan a hero but as they say you can tell what they are by what they do not by what they say or what the post on twitter obviously as you mentioned there its a good photo opportunity good p. R. For the election in terms of realistic chance of getting a deal how optimistic and its very hard to say because its been on and off all the time but what we can say for sure and you made this point already trump is not going to give up he needs it he needs to regain this influence in afghanistan and in that region and globally and of course they say that ending the war in afghanistan he would rise his chances up to be reelected at home so i mean its not yet over. 3 and charlie 18 at the school of International Says trump is resorting to bluster and its the taliban upper hand in these talks. Trungpa simply you nor i were you know trying to show some bravado the reality is that he needs this deal much more than the taliban rule but if you look at the ground situation the taliban going to to make good gains and the violence the degree of control that the taliban has over the water fairly has increased and the u. S. Forces are said to draw down the you know they can root them out and eventually win this war for him a victory for a very pure political victory for domestic gains got less than 12 months for the reelection and he wants a sure success and i think the taliban know that they want to extract a lot of concessions pakistan which backs of taliban is going to try and extract more concessions so really the onus is on the countries in the region you know the neighbors are going to standard try and stabilize it because as far as the all rule of the u. S. Being the policeman or the sheriff will may do in order and balance of power all their lives or were and trump is simply saying you know i give up but simply putting a bridge last resort a sheen on it. Now to a country thats been touring headlines for a while now the mayor of a small town in bolivia who was brutally assaulted by protesters mad unrest triggered by the countrys political crisis is refusing to resign patricia arch a has now left hospital images of the attack on her on social media everything the violence towards those politicians of the party of ousted leader even as a quick warning you may find the following scenes upsetting at the start of november after setting the towel on fire and until paraded to have a bath and cut her hair in public spraying at red during the 4 hour ordeal she was made to kneel and sign a Resignation Letter she told us shes still being treated for kidney damage sustained from the blows she received. When all what happened was disgusting im now recovering from renal damage that i suffered during the assault and im still in pain the old. Cut off my hair they beat me up but they can change my views everything was so confusing at that moment many of them covered their faces but we recognized some of them it was sad to see all those people attacking me its been a difficult time for my children to see their mother in such a condition i dont want this to happen again. But libya is now facing Political Uncertainty the selfappointed right wing government of senators and on us has already been accused of abuses even marauders resigned after the countrys military suggested he step down and that was on the back of a wave of protests following octobers election and allegations of voter fraud his supporters see it as a coup and protest but during at the countrys postelection unrest 34 people were killed and more than 800 injured but again says that the violence must stop. Because youre going to be i cant betray my people those who believe in me i would like to express my gratitude to the staff who have stayed with me and are dedicated to improving this city we will keep working to achieve all our goals it was very difficult to return here after everything the deed to me and it was terrible to see the city hall in such a state after all the work that was done to improve it after everything thats happened how can it get any worse people need to reflect and stop harming each other we need to restore unity ive never hurt anybody ive always worked for my city and i want people to take a step back and think the believe in people cannot live like this. To paris now where a meeting between the french president and the nato chief has apparently failed to resolve lingering tensions with a minor. Again costing doubt on the current agenda of the nist 70 year old military alliance is more out of gaza have looked at the roots of the tensions. One of the 1st symptoms of irrelevance is when you find yourself having to remind people that youre relevant successful and someones got off on a bit of a verbal selfcongratulatory blitzkrieg nato is a Strong Alliance but more than that we are adopting it we are agile and we are active so we are responding to a changing world and the reason why nato is the most successful launch of these 2 it is that we have been able to change in the world is changing and thats exactly what we have done over the last years thats exactly what we are doing nato is the most successful alliance in history. And alliance that strive to join showing the historic suspects of nato and liberal nato and it has been the most successful alliance in the history there is more much more in the star machine amount of a standing valentini think a step back look at it objectively almost 30 years since the cold war ended and nato hasnt changed almost nothing about it just as they were then theyre still expanding eastward towards russia just as they were then theyre Still Standing up to russia now also in the cybersphere afghanistan a lot of evolution there 18 years of stagnant stalemate what theyve really adapted to is pumping out glamorous videos no argument there stella stuff nato is brain dead and those arent my words their own from the lips of the french president. Of the Different School nato is a collective Defense Alliance against who and what it is organizing who is our common enemy what are our common issues these are questions that deserve clarification magic or has a vision a United European Army a europe protected by europeans not americans no hard feelings i mean how would an american feel if the us was protected in the garrison by hundreds of thousands of foreign troops a European Military that decides on its own who its enemies are. Its awful is our enemy now russia or china is it the goal of nato citizen or as enemies i dont believe so our common enemy today in nato is terrorism which has hit each of our countries but nato is nothing if not adaptable we heard many times now theyre evolving to adapt to the fact that the u. S. Is tired of paying for everyone because everyone elses so successful that no one wants to foot the bill we Work Together and getting some of our allies to pay their fair share its called burden sharing and as you know when i came it wasnt so good the United States pays for a very big share of nato and disproportionate share but in all seriousness there is something that has changed in the last 30 years itll countries a buying russian weapons turkey spending billions on russian s 400 Defense Systems and refusing to go and march up and down on russias borders until nato acknowledges that its members have actual problems. If some countries object to another countrys security concerns of being a tourist then there will be no unity with the natives are nato the galaxys greatest military Alliance Since the big bang it isnt gentleman all since the moment of creation probably arguing about it is well. A dream day for the bargain hunters the black friday shopping extravaganza gets underway all around the world today unless a americans alone spend around 87000000000. 00 this time around chasing the very best deals but there is a darker side to this retell festival as arties donald quarter explains. Black friday is coming up big box retailers are gearing up for their annual mega sales super profits and consumer stampedes that will probably result in more than a few injuries in a georgia walmart to have been fighting over pots and pans one refusing to let god. That wasnt brutal enough for you there is an even darker shade of black friday the kind that takes place on a darker shade of the internet called the dark web its a place where black marketeers pursue huge profits with alluringly low prices just as much as the legitimate guys probably more so and there are plenty of consumers looking to buy those contraband Goods Society has become more digital and own without so his crime despite their activities being on rule from an illegal criminals all returned in surprise in a sense im not looking to maximize the opportunities its no small enterprise either last week the European Union published a report about online narcotics sales in the u. K. It said 24000000 pounds sterling worth of the stuff was sold in 201720188 low and on black friday everything from credit cards Fake Passports and Illegal Drugs are for sale at bargain bin prices and marketplaces that are specifically designed to be completely untraceable and while buying illegal items puts you at risk with the law you should also be aware of the very vendors youre buying from Security Experts are sounding the alarm and how you can avoid a black friday. As we head into the Holiday Shopping season notice there is a new online scam that involves fake retail websites that look real but they are not scams come in many forms one popping up more and more is fraudulent websites that look exactly like the real thing no doubt the a thorough. Yes will be hard at work trying to stop these dark web deals but what about the consequences that come with legal black friday consumerism for so long d the overproduction and overconsumption that characterizes the holiday have been cordially accepted as the norm no matter the frenzy that overtakes many or the damage it wreaks on the environment the latter has become so bad the french government is debating on banning black friday altogether but for now expect the usual frenzy for anybody who takes part in a black friday is there who want to be part of this when ever there is a chance fraudulent activities especially with what we know about the dark web in certain facets of the internet and with all of the hacking capabilities of firewall breakings and all this other stuff we need to be taking personal responsibility individual responsibility and being sure that we are in charge of what happens to our finances and where we are putting our finances that it really takes advantage of the narrative that people have to shop on black friday that that is the only time you can get presents for your children for your family for your loved ones and your friends and so it really gives the some of these hackers or these dark web or some of these false sites an opportunity really to to prey on these on these shopping sentiments and to try to find people who are going to be likely to give in to any deal that looks too good to be truly and because we dont take the time to look into that especially on black friday when it went in and so its not only a frenzy but theres a time constraint we have one hour we have a certain amount of time or its going to be over and youll miss it forever and thats what gets people in these modes where theyre not going to look it up theyre not going to research to see which sites are legitimate which sites arent and thats where they might be able to be taken advantage of palestinian jonathan has been severely injured during clashes on the west bank he spoke talking about what happened after a short break. You know world of big partisan through things a lot and conspiracy its time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that Mainstream 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. Seem wrong why dont we all just dont. Get to say proud these days because thats ok and it gains from an equals betrayal. When some many find themselves worlds apart. Just to look for common ground. Welcome back germanys highest court ruled that a man convicted of double murder in the eightys has the right to have his name and all the details removed from web searches he was sentenced for his crime in 1982 and was released 20 years later the case was widely reported in the media and his full name appears and online searches as part of archived articles but he claims his right to privacy and ability to develop his personality have been violated the right to be forgotten is a controversial subject resulting in disputes between google and the e. U. Even law states that any european citizen can ask for links containing Sensitive Information to be a raised from such engines in 2014 a court ruled that they could force such engines to do this since then google says more than 800000 requests have been made to remove more than 3000000 web addresses however critics say its dangerous removing information on former criminals all guests debate the issue. Well they certainly deserve a 2nd chance but what they dont deserve is to have the historic crimes of theyve gone wiped off that no one can find them this is clearly an attack on free speech freedom of information and International Censorship because the the rights of those that he killed the families the victims should never be forgotten but what he wants to do he wants his past to be completely wiped clean but once you start to we raise Historic Events then youre. Rewriting what historic what history was this person should have a slave why clean on the fact that the still showing up hes going to be discriminated against or it could push him back into a life of crime if hes not given the right to leave his old life by law behind if you go for a job you still got suits you still got to give your past previous convictions which will discriminate against you anyway but the thing is theres no point releasing the individual from prison if you still going to die if you still want to live in the past im all for giving a 2nd chance and like say the rehabilitation of offenders should should help sometimes its down to employers having confidence in the judicial system to corrective behavior for people to come out a changed person and sometimes you need confidence in businesses to give them a chance but the problem is when you start to hide your Historic Events then that adds another dimension to the people will look into employer if hes trying to hide this what else is he trying to hide this person trying to better themselves the trying not trying to raise the past the trying to be given a fair shot of the way of thinking you know what clean slate start again this is me now not then do you want to raise the party can change names always off the internet could just change a name if they want to eventually like let me youre right they want to keep repeating yourself but the fact is you can change your name and you can just do exactly that anywhere. I change my name for example when my girlfriend is called you can have a go at the opera not with. No if you if you actually go for jobs where they need to do certain disclosures because of the certain criteria you have to say if you change your name or you know by other names so that they can do a proper search yet serve you serve you that society you released as a new person with it with hopefully with a new mindset you should be given every opportunity so that your past is stricken from the record like of a leader to go in for jobs it will always come up so theres no getting away from it just about being a new person pretty produce projecting itself in a different lie and trying to become a productive member of society the criminal may have served they may want to move on the families cant move on its still there and the should never try and wipe it because if this try and hide their past what else are they going to try and hide in the future. For a palestinian journalist has been shot in the eye and logically by Israeli Forces the incident happened while she was covering clashes in the west bank warning you may find the following video obsessing. I mean. More of the spoke to r. T. About what happened to her. We covered a demonstration by people from serif the confiscation of their lawn by israel the rally was suppressed and there was some clashes. While we were covering the crushes i was shot in the eye by an israeli sniper i was wearing a reporters uniform and anyone can identify me as a journalist from far away from god i only lost my own not my life when i was shot i thought i was about to die i fell on my head was going to explode i thought i was breathing one last and then my colleagues came to carry me away. While im in a house received an outpouring of support after the story. Palestinian activist son john lewis held demonstrations in bethlehem in solidarity with the injured calling a couple of days off to the incident and some of them even joined a flash mob on social media posting photos of themselves with one eye covered meanwhile the Palestinian John the syndicate says 60 john must have been hit by life and you know just this year the majority of them in gaza. Israeli police however maintain that they used only non lethal force which was not directed at the photographer they also say his injury could have been caused by violent rioters bought them and they think what happened to him was no accident. Theres really occupiers do not want the rest of the world to see the repression policy and journalists are showing the world what the occupation is doing to our people the disregard for human rights palestinian journalists are exposing these crimes palestinian journalists are being killed summers have lost limbs the occupation does not care or respect any of the contrary the suppression of journalism with the collusion of some of the countries is enabling israel to escalate its crimes against the palestinians. And finally a story for the dog lovers police in the us the state of massachusetts have a new kind of canine colleague a highly advanced robotic one the machines were built by boston dynamics his creations have already gone viral. The boston dynamics robot is equipped to 360 degree crowd cameras prompting fears over its possible surveillance capabilities it can reach speeds of almost 2 meters a 2nd and its body is both crash and water resistant civil Rights Groups warn of as a lack of transparency regarding how such technologies are used though the Police Defend their use of the new tech robots right knowledge is a valuable tool for Law Enforcement because of its ability to provide Situational Awareness of potentially dangerous environments we just really dont know enough about how the state police are used this and the technology that can be used in concert with a robotic system like this is almost limitless in terms of what kinds of surveillance and potentially even weaponization operations may be allowed. Or we discuss the robot control the sea with radio and t. V. Host current uk and former member of the f. B. I. s joint Terrorism Task force steven rogers. What concerns me and i think whats concerning a lot of the public about this is this is something that was done pretty secretive way and not only that there really arent the provisions in place for the public to really know whats happening with these robots i think this technology its sort of the great unknown with a lot of this Artificial Intelligence thats kind of scary its almost side 5 movie when you see this spot this Boston Scientific robot dog theyre using i mean its a little terrifying looking it reminds me of something you know straight out of terminator and i think that there needs to be some things in rules and and provisions in place before we introduce these new types of technology these concerns are nothing new to us Law Enforcement has used robots for the past 10 or 15 years robots go into situations that give police the ability to look around corners to look through walls the motive is not to be secretive the motive is not to be utopian the motive is to save the lives of Law Enforcement officers victims and even criminal suspects when a very serious criminal act is being committed thats how the news is looking for now ill be back top of the hour dont go fall though because coming your way now its but thats ok. Thats good or Survival Guide stacey youre going to start simply out of all this is. There you go to the. Next. Well its no good this is a repatriations look at the rest of 70 years.
