Good evening thanks for joining us this is our to. The u. S. And the taliban have signed a peace deal which is expected to finally bring washingtons longest ever war to an at the negotiations its been a long time in the making they still dont exceed the 18 years of conflict in the country. The United States and the taleban have endured decades of hostility and mistrust. Previous talks. To separate only became real for the United States when the taliban signaled interest in pursuing peace and ending their relationship with. Another foreign terrorist groups. They also recognize that military victory was impossible. Under the peace deal the taliban this pledge to prevent terrorists from operating in the areas it controls theyve also promised to enter into talks with the Afghan Government in march for washington is promising to review sanctions on the taliban and will begin withdrawing troops in stages for goes well in a little over a year no u. S. Or nato forces will remain in the country and hes going to more than look at how much americans lost in the war and what it changed in it. Back in 2003 u. S. Officials were telling a story of success when it came to afghanistan listen to Donald Rumsfeld were at a point where we clearly have moved from major combat to a period of stability as to blues asian and reconstruction activities the bulk of this country today is permissive and secure it is clear that that is the case by virtue of the fact that we see people returning to their country from all across the globe in large numbers but 17 years and 4 president ial terms later one of the great powers of military history sinus peace deal with the taliban warlords theyve been fighting all this time and the peace treaty looks an awful lot like outright surrender so 1st we have to be realistic and proud of our gains but our generals have determined that this war is unlikely to be won militarily with tremendous Additional Resources all sides are tired of fighting for the past years youve heard nothing but reports of progress u. S. Officials were singing a happy song and also replacing one another were making progress right now an array of areas that are critical to our combined success with afghanistan the progress is real and importantly that progress is sustainable make no mistake the progress there i think is very roles myself and mistake will and its very substantial 2016 has been significant year for afghanistan and progress has been made but this was all just hype documents reveal interviews with people that were actually on the ground and the material ironically labeled lesson werent seems to present a narrative of the u. S. Defeat in afghanistan the operation is described as a self looking Ice Cream Cone u. S. Officials giving reports of progress were telling bold faced lie the problem is there is a disincentive really to tell the truth we have created an incentive to almost require or for people to law there is an odor of mendacity. Throughout the afghanistan issue and i know congressman connelly has heard me talk about this years ago mendacity in who bruce the original plan was to defeat alqaeda in afghanistan and overthrow the taliban that was sheltering al qaeda all of that was arguably achieved but then washington moved on to the nation building phase at a cost of billions of dollars and at that point it starts to look like no one had a clue what they were doing would trying to do here we didnt have the new would ruin the taking the risk of fundamental gap in distancing of the front end of the stated objectives and grew lines in the military and the lack of understanding of the resources necessary and then the drone started flying many instances of success were recorded on that front but in many instances things also went terribly wrong. Somewhere along the way it seems like some folks have just had enough in the coming months all announced the next phase of our drawdown and by the end of next year americas war in afghanistan will be over needless to say it was not over a trillion dollars spent and over 4000. 00 u. S. Military personnel and contractors killed and at this point the taliban still controls a little less than half of the country and under the new peace deal the taliban will be part of the new government theyll be in the government just like they were you know before the us invasion back in the eightys i was in charge of. Military affairs for the middle east back then i could have gone over i could have i could have rendered a motor scooter and i could have driven all over the middle. Least in relative safety you dont do that today i dont think you can identify any particular thing that we have done where we can say this is a real way cheap meant this is really brought about a change for the better in some way and they talk about you know its so difficult to get out and all of that the best way to get out is to leave the deal follows a weeklong reduction in violence agreement between is the science the succeeded in be juicing hostilities however many afghans believe the agreement should have been reached years ago. If it was me we hope this peace deal will be permanent not like before i wish this peace deal of been signed 10 years ago thousands of our people were killed many more wounded disabled and also many women were widowed. World were happy about the us dollar bill and peace agreements but i wish the species deal had been signed when the us came to ghana stern but now it is also not to wait we called the tower burn to stop the conflict you want the us to leave our country as soon as possible. Push out into the us so that we will be happy if the deal brings peace but i wish this peace deal had been signed 10 years ago because back then most of our brothers and sisters hadnt lost part of their bodies and they were well i myself lost my leg in a bomb explosion. Were gone by the and the conflict so that we. Can live in peace we were born in war and we dont want to be hewed by the war anymore. The us invasion of afghanistan was launched in response to the 911 attacks most aimed at defeating al qaeda and toppling the taliban which harbored the terrorists they 1000 years on this the longest war in u. S. History the 1st campaign was faked or risk with an amount to tell of another car that theyve been mostly defeated the Afghan Interim Administration was established but it took 10 years to track down and kill al qaeda is founder and leader washington solace thousands of troops deployed in afghanistan accounts for half of all International Troops that we spoke to a 911 survivor who believes that the long lasting war is not the socalled justice they wanted. Well mixed feeling number one because as a survivor of 911 we when theyre looking for osama. And actually with the taliban was basically they were supporting al qaeda both at the same time you know we killed Osama Bin Laden many years ago we should have been having this occupation for so long as a survivor i didnt need these actually we didnt have remember when we were going to war we went to places we were in you know afghanistan and then we went to iraq and iraq didnt have anything to do with 911 and they try to the idea that the iraqi people will walk without he was in so all of this seen way of what were doing right here in afghanistan we were in the year when your main purpose that main purpose was a change of attitude biber i won the award to win and not only because of the people that we lost one of the people that were killed in the process because there were many civilians that were killed in afghanistan during our occupation of the contrie. Over to the u. S. State of montana where a total of 4 City Council Officials have now asked the Prosecutors Office to drop charges against whistleblower Brandon Bryant who lifted the lid on civilian killings in u. S. Overseas Drone Operations here for certain have been charged with threatening misool a city officials in the you tube video hes currently in detention the 1st few see attended multiple City Council Meetings criticizing the way tax money was being used as mother though claims that his incarceration is politically motivated and shes lost the campaign in the hope of raising 100000. 00 for his bail. My sound was the u. S. Air force missile or who broke the code of silence on the john program now hes in jail in the. City he has no criminal record and yet he is held on 100000. 00 being are under detention he is isolated from this family and its friends in turn is medically i mean indeed an emotional support animal under brian served as a u. S. Air force drone operator from 2006 until 2011 how they left the military he began exposing cases of what he alleged to be civilian deaths resulting from u. S. Drone strikes brandt claimed commanders often prioritize the elimination of a target over accuracy resulting in innocent people being killed in the process so evolutions when a german whistleblower awarding 2015 and also intensified debate over the use of a German Air Base by American Drones heres how brandon described his experience to us back in 2050. I actually talked with a lady whose husband. Was killed he has been in brother was killed in a drone strike or talked to or face to face and she asked me why her husband and brother had to die and they werent bad guys and i just looked at her and i said i i dont know and thats not really the best thing that i can tell someone who is asking questions about why someone that they cared about was killed and they need to know the answers and the really true hard answer to say is that im sorry that. The mistake happened and im doing everything that i can to prevent further mistakes from happening. Authorities say bryant was arrested on a felony charge after he had allegedly exhibited threatening behavior during City Council Meetings on top of that he threatened to eliminate its members and you tube video however a former f. B. I. Agent a whistleblower Coleen Rowley believes bryants current predicament is connected to his past revelations this does seem to be more retaliation for his having spoken out about the Drone Operations and the fact that they were killing innocent civilians more so then what hes now done typically with a whistle blower they look back in your personnel files 1st to see if theres anything bad that they can use to discredit the messenger and if they cant find anything bad bad in someones background or personnel file then they wait for the was a blower to make a small error or mistake and the draw was a blow or are in a fragile emotional state already as you can see with all the veterans they suffer from p. T. S. D. And we know from many other cases retaliate ing and persecuting was of lors that that seems to be the standard am oh. The government is in perpetual war and so the war goes on forever that means that even if you speak out even years ago any of stache lee if you continue to speak out about the wrongful actions and the war crimes its going to continue this is not to negate the they are their randon certainly he aired if he made any threatening remarks or comments he certainly should be corrected in he should receive more treatment but i dont think he should be punished the way hes being punished. On toms peace plan to resolve the israel palestine conflict billed by his of ministration as the deal of the century has come in for we knew the criticism was 50 former leaders ministers from across europe penned a joint letter expressing their concerns peace to prosperity is not a road map to a viable 2 state solution nor to any other legitimate solution to the conflict the plan and visitors a formalization of the current reality in the occupied palestinian territory in which 2 people fall even side by side without equal rights such an outcome has characteristics similar to apartheid a term we dont use lightly. The terms plan was an act is a quote undivided jerusalem would be israels official capital in while the palestinian state would have to reconcile itself to a capital somewhere in the eastern outskirts of the city on top of that theyd have to relinquish their own army palestine storage it would consist of parts of the west bank and gaza or enclaves connected by roads and tunnels in exchange for these concessions they get investment through the chuen of 50000000000. 00 the palestinian leadership has rejected the deal in no uncertain terms. Dear friends we heard a little while ago from President Trump and Prime Minister netanyahu talking about what they call the deal of the century which we described as the slap of the century we will say a 1000 times no to this proposal. One of the signatories to that letter mons look at tough to say former Danish Foreign Affairs Minister and former president of the Un General Assembly told us times plan runs counter to previous u. N. Resolutions on the israel palestine conflict. Doesnt deliver it all its says it will deliver namely a peace in the 2 streets solution and what we are very very concerned about is that it will change the occupation an equal rights it will change mission of the palestinian jerry to read something like. We care during. An all out. Will the conditions the paramita. Agreed upon in in russia number of. Years. Research as americas Mit University have found a report into irregularities during the bolivian election didnt provide sufficient evidence i think a sense of Election Fraud sparked mass protests into president ever morale is quitting the report itself was made by the organization of american states which looked at the bolivian general Election Results in november when there was a break in voting and it appeared that were others were significantly ahead of his rival report found irregularities and claimed that the Election Results werent accurate or the mit researchers Jack Williams explained what made them doubt those findings. We wanted to specifically look at the portion where they claim that there is significant difference in the results following the interruption and then also in the last 5 percent of result of the unofficial vote count. During this process me and my colleagues were unable to find the evidence that the oas had created here results are out there and you know having an effect on the World Without any methodological or even like even just the code that they used to produce the results that they created we find it extremely difficult to naturally find the breaks that they found and then used for their results so really we would really appreciate if the oas would share their. Both their methodology and then also if they could share what they used to produce this report that had such a large effect following the beliefs of the oas report some Media Outlets spoke of Election Fraud as if it was a proven fact. And audit indicated there was a clear manipulation in the countrys elections last month accusations of irregularities in last months president ial election was raised americans put out a report saying that. They felt that. The holes you actually. Williams again believed that the media around the opposition used the oas report for their own that. The statistical claim was the one that was able to be tied to the results and to claim the results that were being presented were illegitimate and thats what the Opposition Party and that the media is also used to justify this people knew that there was problems with the oas research but maybe didnt have the Technical Expertise to do it center for economic and policy research had released a report prior but it had not gained much traction among especially the media so i think that they really wanted someone to evaluate this and take it seriously. Russia is currently celebrating the end of winter the socalled must and thats a holiday which marks the start of spring often includes the beginning of a story and this year one festival in the town a few hours from moscow is taking things even further this bridge made of wood and straw was the winning creation for the International Competition the months of preparation its will be burnt to the ground in just the space of a few hours as most of its a festival normally last a week sees people across the country enjoying a brain just leaving lots of traditional pancakes the orthodox tradition of lent follows. So its a Common Appeals Court in the us rules in favor of you tube in a case that centers around free speech that story on more after a short break. The world is driven by shaped by one person. Who dares thinks. We dare to ask. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this spirit dramatic developments only mostly im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical. Time to sit. In. Welcome back seems like online fun died another death this week. Thoughts on the internet kill julissa and their latest bouts of woke outrage. Diary what a reek of distressing stories theres new evidence suggesting that back in the seventys buddy was a loony rate front assist a disappointment on his visit to India Donald Trump managed to vote but he must take up every single engine that came his way and alexandra because there cortez were 500. 00 sequined dress during the day but the thing that really got my anxiety levels peaking was this tweet to be so. That someone somewhere is enjoying the shoe joyousness of these people and saying to behold these plates. Should be kept as far away from cultural power as possible joylessness is this a joke this is a classic case of conservative Debbie Downer is raining on our parade theres so literally no evidence to support it. Yes ok the university of arizona is basically begging students to run each other out effect being aggressive progress of triggering insensitive well you get it i know some would say that fosters an environment of paranoia censorship and soul sucking depression but i just dont see it and yes a school in seattle said easter egg should be renamed spring spheres a spring spare hard to count me in my past and think its got a real fun ring to it. But youre going completely out of. It isnt fun. Im sure i did read about how now its not ok to expect people to turn up some time because in some cultures time is a fluid concept who knew i just hope for the people who signed up for this lesson and witness in time to get the most out of it also they could have the days. Tell mr robertson enough to walk up such a sweat. Can. Also flight carrying the bible while fashionistas a clamping down on earrings no longer for white people apparently so dawn of this carefree days we sauntered along here in the gentle worship your. Ok not the best years for me argent applaud is out that because Oxford University did cant fall clapping but why are people making such a big deal about it there are no limits of other ways to show your appreciation like. Jazz hands super fun but way on the cultural appropriation. And whats being dubbed a landmark case an Appeals Court in the us has ruled in favor of you tube and its Parent Company google and the censorship lawsuit filed by conservative Media Company praise a university. Addressing the 1st amendment claims the panel held that despite youtubes ubiquity and its rule as a public facing platform it remains a private form not a public forum subject to judicial scrutiny under the 1st amendment in the lawsuits praiser you claim violated the 1st amendment on free speech when some of its videos were deleted from the platform where you suggested youtube was guilty of the times for presenting its opposite platform for free speech the Company Believes its clips were banned because of the conservative nature of the content but the course injected the claims. After the courts decision youtubes Parent Company google says that there was no political bias involved and that preacher use claims were made at this approach you maintains the tech company has become dangerously powerful. So it appears as if even the 9th circuit is afraid of the line of google were not done fighting for free speech and we will keep pushing forward this is a significant decision because the effect of it is that the court of appeal is stating they had social Media Companies such as google and facebook have arrived to make a decision. What people are going to be exposed to the reach of those companies is unprecedented but we ducked reach theres not been an equivalent in position of responsibility there rescore course is that those companies will be able to control the political agenda so in order for this to change the rules be a need for additional laws to be to be brought in in order to ensure that social Media Companies are not placed in a position where there are effectively controlling the entire political system. When it comes to dealing with the threat of coronavirus something the Scientific Literacy would be not just a plus but maybe a must it hasnt stopped us Vice President mike pence who has little time it seems from an evidence based approach to health this is from being put in charge of americas response to the crisis. I think this is great because mike pence has a lot of experience in this area hes been quarantining himself from women his whole life i was mike craigs in charge what is this plan to stop the virus abstinence. Just by the hysteria from the Political Class and the media smoking doesnt kill. It. Condoms are a very very poor protection against sexually transmitted disease. Im going to go home and prey on i. Think. The. Greatest threat to Public Health since spanish flu 917 sure why not put the guy no one wants working on anything in charge there is another person who doesnt have anything else to do press secretary can you imagine. Were all going to dawn. About it today thanks thing with all to either them all coming your way and often. What holds it has to do something to. Put themselves on the line. To get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president bush. Or some want to. Have to go right to be. This is what. 3 of the more people. Interested always in the waters in the house. There should be. Thousands of american men and women she was just sort of in the countrys military and the decision. Every song came to a complete. The day that i was raped. You know told to shut up but theyd kill me and i see how it destroyed my life many screamed at me and he made me come in and you graham my arm and he raped me with his birthing curia if you take into account that women dont report because of the extreme retaliation and its probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military rape is a very very traumatizing thing tat happen but ive never seen trauma like ive seen from women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished and be offended and almost 10 year career or chose very invested in and i gave that up to report a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of tower and violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether thats a man or woman.
