A 3rd of the country declares itself to be an l. C. D. T. V. Free. Live from moscow thanks so much for joining us tonight and i think that Charles Daniel hawkins welcome. It was start with breaking news this hour Afghan Police say at least 3 people have been killed and 11 others wounded in an explosion at a football stadium in the Eastern Province of course no one has claimed responsibility for the attack earlier on monday though the taliban said it would resume operations against the countrys Security Forces thats after president garvey refused to commit fully to the terms of a peace deal between the United States and islamist groups. The reduction in violence has ended now and operations will continue as normal as part of the us taliban agreement or mujahedeen will not attack Foreign Forces but operations we can. When you against the car who ministration forces the agreements that created that the government in kabul would release 5000 taliban members from prison which in turn would release 1000 government detainees president ashraf ghani those said the swap couldnt be a prerequisite for peace talks under the deal the us also pledged to pull a 3rd of its troops out of going to stand by the middle of this year the pentagon would then withdraw the remainder its forces within 14 months the pending on the talibans cooperation looking at the increasingly fragile deal he is secure taylor. 18 here is 1. 00 trillion dollars over 150000. 00 dead for raf gonna start in the us the road to peace has been long bloody costly but a new dawn is on the horizon and its being hailed as a victory we are looking at the furthest. If you ok or theres already today and even. Then you force the course of action. With her reading comprehension these are we achieve this is for peace i need you but im going. The deal signed by washington and the taliban has promised to bring to a close what seemed and on ending a war my times many thought it wouldnt happen the deal has come off to 18 months of pulling and tugging of head shakes and walking away but in doha the paper was finally signed and it seemed to be one of those rest situations where in parties involved were happy well almost all because apparently someone forgot to ask the Afghan Government what its take was fun spoiler a lot its got a few concerns the in could barely dry it on the deal when the afghan president vetoed a key clause the release of 5000 taliban militants as part of a prisoner swap. There is no commitment to release 5000. 00 prisoners i have shared this with dr kellys arc this is the right and the decision of the people of afghanistan they have requested it it could be included in the agenda of the interim afghan talks but it cannot be a prerequisite for talks. Now this is not a side note to the deal it is in fact to the condition on which intra afghan peace talks will start a veto the full threatens to bring this entire thing grinding to a hope so. President gone his reaction there shows how washington has missed the point here that signing the piece of paper is ironically the easiest part and the promising prisoners would join yours as as on helpful as dropping demands that the taliban officially recognize gone his government about going to government was not even invited to the negotiations and when they participate they only principle. Not as a government representatives because ordinary afghans are and that in itself is a very significant indication of how the situation was developed president gunner said this we have been fighting. For about 80 to 90 percent of the battles have been waged by afghan troops or basically. Means that will follow bonn or anybody else have to deal with the Afghan Government so this is maybe one of the hurdles many murders down the road but lets not forget the u. S. Is an old hound pretending to be the peacemakers even when its cause the mess in the fast place and with another action just around the coup want to trump probably wouldnt be against adding to his eye make great things happen rhetoric sure has middle east deal of the centrals move us the boom and kim jong un isnt quite ready to step away from his Nuclear Rockets but trump got his photos and it seems hes already eyeing up his next money shots be meeting personally with taliban leaders in the not too distant future. And well be. Very much hoping that they will be doing what they say theyre going to be doing they will be killing terrorists when in doubt sign a deal pose for a photo then crown jewel south victor leave others to figure out the logistics tried and tested. Tensions continue to rise on the border between greece and turkey where a buildup of modern this is being described by athens as a threat to its National Security turkey opened its border with the e. U. On saturday leading thousands to head them and greece has the port extra soldiers and is vowing to increase the debt as violent clashes break out between police and migrants. The. Group dorie who goes. On in my mind this is me go way over entering one country. Child died off the coast of lets boss on monday one in a flavorful carrying migrants from the Turkish Coast was capsized its all about has more on the unfolding crisis. Of the very latest we have on this unfolding situation comes from the turkish lead a mistake on the president saying that at the moment as it stands hundreds of thousands of refugees and migrants of cross the border from turkey towards greece or making their way into wards greece he says that will eventually become millions the doors are now open now you will have to take your share of the burden hundreds of thousands have crossed soon it will reach millions well here in germany the state of bavaria is paid expressing their well happiness with turkey they say that is just attempting to try and squeeze. Yes more money out of the European Union and that they using this current wave of of migrants and refugees as a whole an attempt to blackmail the European Union we need a quick political solution it is clear that we must not allow ourselves to be blackmailed by turkey thats a sentiment that really being echoed in Greece Athens has suspended all asylum applications for the next month at least greece the greek government anyway says that turkey is using these refugees and migrants as pawns in an attempt to gain more diplomatic power turkeys decision to to allow their these refugees and migrants to move towards greece came in quite an increase in violence on their southern border with syria as fighting increases in Northern Syria turkey says they just cant handle the sheer numbers of people that are currently seeking refuge in their country but turkeys actions in opening their border well that goes against the 26th deal that they struck with the European Union in which case that turkey would accept to how those millions of refugees in exchange for Financial Aid now the french president Emmanuel Makana stepped in saying his country is willing to provide help full solidarity with greece and bulgaria france is ready to contribute to european efforts to give them rapid assistance and protect the borders we must act together to avoid a humanitarian and migration crisis. The European Council president Charles Michel is expected to visit the region very soon alongside the greek Prime Minister to assess whats going on on the ground as europe tries to get together its response to turkeys decision to open its borders to refugees and migrants in a situation which is beginning to look increasingly similar to that which we saw in 2015 or more on this were joined now by the president of the Austrian Institute for european policy and security in vienna thanks for joining us great to have you on the program today this is something turkey has been threatening to do for a while hasnt it whats its goal here what designer aim to achieve by opening its borders with the e. U. I would say primary goal probably is to develop pressure against the European Union in order to squeeze old more money and maybe also some other assistance in specially in economic questions do you think Financial Assistance here is the primary goal or do you think its seeking support for its military operations in Northern Syria in adler province. Do not think the government really believes to europe will assist in this fighting it leiber region in syria due to defect in italy you will find many. Organizations close to it but also close to former al qaeda and this certainly is something that the europeans will not back and in. I think the. At least highest priority will be given to financial questions between European Union and turkey not assistance otherwise do you think that strategy is going to work though because the European Union has poured many millions into turkey for hosting those refugees it seems to have worked from 2016 almost until now and now were seeing it deja vu really are we more moderates pouring across the border because of the offensive has this worked. It has worked as more or less soft and the situation is spatially in greece but also in other neighboring countries and we also have to admit that of course the situation now in italy produces or will produce some more. Refugees migrants. People i dont know if the size of some 100000 people maybe even a 1000000. Fleeing out of the country but of course this will mean that the European Union can beg turkey. In the future even more with Financial Aid but not with. Security measures helping in fighting. The turkish army against us its troops thats what i see is that. This situation will lead in the future. To a new initiatives in order to. Establish and. And build up new refugee camps maybe also in other countries like in jordan or in lebanon or other places around the region in order to soft in this situation in and in order to get control over the overall situation because nobody of course in europe wants to have a similar situation as we were confronted in in 2015. And finally turkey already hosts more than 3000000 refugees you mentioned 100000 more coming across the border just briefly do you think the European Partners of turkey do need to be doing more design career have a right to feel let down about the situation. I think its its ok that turkey is looking for help for Financial Assistance but this is not everything what we have to look at is also how can people be brought to go back to their home country this is the 1st reason and this fire is a seed many a 100000 people who left syria in the past they did not belong to the Opposition Forces but they just fled due to the horrible situation of fighting. Of the different groups and of course at least some of them could be brought back to syria and the initial far what is needed is for sure whole package in order to solve these questions it will not be only money and it will not be any other assistance like assistance at the borders but it will be also. Goes to disinter of the problem which means bringing people back through their home country trying to find further solutions in order to pacify the whole situation ok thank you so much both of us the law and president of the Austrian Institute for european policy and security in vienna great to have you on today. Theres been a backlash against sexual minority rights in poland where a 3rd of my disabilities have the clout themselves l d b t free zones are doing ski looks at how the move clashes with the why did you use course the only 1st of shared european values. In its simplest terms the idea of the e. U. Is one of many countries working together under one umbrella towards a common landscape yet you dont have to scratch far below the surface to find divisions what seems to be becoming more clearly etched is the divide between the west and the east in the latest round of disconnect between the values of the east and west the focus has turned to l g b t rights anti l g b t sentiment has been on the rise in poland. Now in poland nearly 100. 00 miscible local governments have proclaimed himself to be free from l g b t ideology covering an area that some say is up to a 3rd of the country it follows a come pain by polands ruling law and Justice Party which declared this type of ideology was an invasive foreign influence that undermines traditional values the European Commission has been quick to react we cannot allow the distribution of algae v. T. I. Free zones take us or the adoption of. Resolutions and not feel responsible for the next phase where physical attacks that take place even if they are then carried out by other people one french town was so incensed by the backward nature of anti l. G. P. T. Right after 25 years of being twinned with the polish town its taken drastic action and suspended ties francis committed to calm things Human Rights Violations based on sexual orientation. We cannot accept that the ties that unite our 2 suiters through an oath of winning should be tainted we condemned the position taken by. But in poland there is real concern about the promotion of l g b t ideology of the shore for themselves too much these people the people have been round all the time and they didnt boast about it i did a child can grow up in a normal gay family have 2 fathers or 2 mothers have a good indication travel around the world know languages and theyre good and interest and very soon as you get one of their children grow up in a family of a fire then a mother i know this from my own experience one recent poll found the biggest threat concerning young polish men was the l g b t movement and gender ideology and its not just an issue in poland at a recent festival in croatia residents were filmed cheering the burning of an effigy of a gay couple. The annual review by the european of the International Lesbian gay bisexual trans and into Sex Association also accuse several other countries of growing official hate speech by government officials countries singled out included bowl garia the Czech Republic hungary and slovakia in hungary for example it said there was a decrease in the social acceptance of homosexuality the eurobarometer 2019 found that hungary was one of a handful of e. U. Countries where the social acceptance of l. G. B. People has decreased since 2015 following bowl garia on gary and were also the least supportive of legal gender recognition or 3rd option gender markers. Some have described this disconnect between eastern and western e. U. States as being a king to still having an eye in curtin and while the e. U. Is currently facing off with an internal battle over its budget in the aftermath of braggs it perhaps the real problems it faces a far more in cranes in the cultural differences of its Member States surely ski r.

Join me every thursday on the alex salmond sure and ill be speaking to the world of politics sports business im showbusiness ill see you then. You know we talk a lot on the show many years about economy and currencies and what makes a currency really what makes a currency is scarcity for example gold is a currency its money because its scarce thats the primary reason people use it as money keynesian economics or socialism is usually unworkable because the people who are organizing it think that well you can just print all the money you need you need a program print more money theres socialism for banks on wall street as was pointed out recently one of the big president ial debates you know bank gets in trouble just print more money well whats the ultimate scarce commodity what is the ultimate scarce commodity you think about it what is the ultimate scarce commodity.

We will grow more efficient to contribute to higher defense priorities and refocus resources to global power competition we cannot take pressure off major terrorist groups like isis and al qaeda today afrikan does that using a light and relatively low cost footprint by supporting african and International Partners who are leading these efforts or the effectiveness of the us effort to contribute to African Security is being questioned last year there was a record high level as the most activity a currently there are roughly 2 dozen militant groups operating in 14 Different Countries despite the rise in violence washington believes its a positive influence in africa. Tomorrow security demands Leadership Today were trying to make sure that we are efficient with our resources and were not depleting efforts and whatever it is doing on the african continent is complimentary. So the bottom line is the United States is not walking away from africa were committed and we remain engaged military claims that this is a light footprint but you know its hard for an elephant to leave a light footprint and certainly the pentagon is a giant elephant and its presence in any country instructive is a place of and if it comes at the same time that there is a concentrated economic dislocation then the whole thing he stabilizes the entire country and thats what its meant to do its meant to assert u.
