In the secy branding it a poll. Good afternoon just call me day here in moscow youre watching r. T. International the u. S. President on from pull the plug on afghan peace talks with the taliban with the taliban which it was hoped would bring americas longest war to an end he blamed the terrorist groups recent attack on kabul in which an american soldier was killed the taliban mourns though that scrap in the talks will result in more u. S. Losses. They admitted to an attack in kabul that killed one of our great great soldiers and 11 other people if they cannot agree to a ceasefire during these very important peace talks the probably dont have the power to negotiate a meaningful agreement anyway the us president called off the peace dialogue this will lead to more losses to the us his credibility will be affected his anti peace stance will be exposed to the world losses to lives and assets will increase or trons handling of the peace talks with the taliban which could have ended americas 18 years of military involvement in afghanistan through bipartisan criticism the u. S. Targeted the group for giving shelter to al qaeda terrorists however before the invasion u. S. Relations with the taliban were very different as nerve gas the earth reports after 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 go she werent on the medias mind when they found out they were outraged that trump should dare talk to the enemy that 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 u. S. Is on the guests for business by u. S. 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 says want 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 in the. Security organ are. Overworking. Its right there a woman in the ministry of defense. Its very bad we dont use them as of this advertisement. Its that theyre not for you or. For many other things that 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 dean in afghanistan for a long time they didnt see them as that dangerous they saw them as people who would stay over there and and they thought they could use them this changed on 911 today inviting the taliban to the United States to try to. Do to arrange what they call a peace deal is a very difficult optics for the president especially as we get close to the anniversary of the september bombing the one 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 so the president s in a dilemma he wants to look strong and he wants to help American Allies but the same time the cost has gotten bigger and bigger and the American Public are fed up there you have 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 all be asleep is something america just current and paid. More aghasi of their will the u. S. And the taliban have been in negotiations for almost a year although the talks didnt involve the Afghan Government the taliban demanded the drawl of all foreign troops from afghanistan while america wanted guarantees the group would not assist International Terrorism a draft accord had been reached last week where currently the taliban does control more afghan territory been than any previous point since the us invasion of 2001 when the peace talks were still active the taliban never committed to holding attacks in the country in fact the group stepped up its campaign of terror we got reaction to trumps decision to abandon peace talks from people in kabul. Because one of the soldiers presumably their general was killed in a Suicide Attack or Abdul Haq Square he called off the peace talks while so Many Afghan Army forces and civilians are killed on a daily basis they do not think about the quarter since the peace talks began the suicide bombings and attacks have increased in our people have been killed and they had accepted peace they should have announced a cease fire and then the talks moved forward. Meanwhile the u. S. Special envoy for middle east peace has resigned casting doubt on existing Israeli Palestinian plans jason green blatt was a key figure in the trumpet ministrations efforts in the region and its unclear if his successor will be able to put his plans into practice or the man taking over is berkovitz 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 cushion up in while the former envoy green blatt had received criticism for unpopular decisions in the arab world after supporting the relocation of the us embassy to jerusalem and recognizing israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights but his decision to leave the job is now raising questions over what happens next the trump administrations long delayed peace plan is set for publication after the elections in september but previously leaked details appeared to highlight some key decisions like an expansion of israels territory to include the west Bank Settlements while palestinians would get part of the gaza strip for infrastructure but couldnt live there the leaks also suggested that palestinians would be forbidden from having an army our guest debated how all this could play. 1st of all lets agree that the there and there might be a plan that the Us Administration is working on but that piece 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 of it 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 only guns in riyadh. Nobodys well i caught palestinians 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 supplements 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 unless 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 an. Diplomatic political and economic solution and the 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. Down a new religious performance in germany has come under fire from the enrons organization calling for donkeys to be removed from the show depicting the last days of jesus christ and suggest instead an actor rides in on a nice. Was. These days jesus would no longer travel by dont key he would presumably move in a nice scooter or some other electric vehicle that is kind to animals and the environment well the demand has been criticized by performers the actor playing jesus says there are they are representing a specific moment in time and a nice quote doesnt really fit the event has been held in the very since the 17th century with few changes and its not just those on stage who have been slamming the suggestions by the Animal Rights campaign as jesus is supposed to ride in these couture instead of a donkey it could not be more idiotic. I was in jerusalem and there is a ban on the use of electric vehicles in the old town i understand the criticism itself but seriously jesus on on the scooter while everything around is historically correct oh. Animal welfare is taking the law in germany and European Countries in many countries throughout the world and im aware as well taken what is not taking a Council Position for me is Human Welfare peta has had essence mission to divert attention away from human suffering and focus attention on less important issues and peta has probably no knowledge of the german laws but a lot of that is very strict and it has its limits but it also has privileges and certain privileged organizations can as long as they follow the strict procedures that the law provides use animals in their performances you watch not International Back with morning just after the break. Put themselves on the line. To get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president and. Want to. Have to go right to be close as it was before 3 of them or cant be good. Im interested always in the waters of the. Question. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy. Let it be an arms race. And spearing Dramatic Development only personally im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. Welcome back you without saying now the mayor of london city on the spoken out against a major. Being hosted in his city hes described the event as a porridge and says he strongly opposes it. London is a global city which is home to individuals who fled conflict and suffered as a consequence of arms and weapons like those exhibited. In order to represent londoners interests and will take any opportunity available to prevent this event from taking place at the world talks in future years while defense and Security Equipment International is the Worlds Largest arms exhibition and has been my control for sea before back in 2013 for example torture equipment was found on sale at the fair and critics also point to those doing the shopping too among them saudi arabia and iraq meanwhile human rights activists who say the u. K. Is also facilitating atrocities the u. K. Is the 2nd largest arms exporter to saudi arabia despite a court of appeal declaring the sales of lawful since 2015 riyadh has led military intervention in yemen with its coalition accused of war crimes meanwhile hundreds of protesters to take the streets of london ahead of the arms fair antiwar activists campaigning to highlight the deadly consequences of the weapons trade in r. T. Saskia taylor now reports on why the arms fair is getting so Much Negative attention. This is a british with a twist held only every 2 years theres no candyfloss teacups or soft toys no the largest of what happens in the wild is in town. D s e i attracts armed companies and military delegations from all over the world backed by the ministry of defense its the kind of that youd expect the media to be keen to get involved in who its not so easy to pass the security checks take it and hope that should war correspondents works alongside the british military. He said that the bill each application in the information submitted is assessed on the case by case basis after reviewing europe location we are unable to establish that you are a journalist and editor a Production Team member in a row and field mr cobain try to convince them with his reports for the likes of the guardian in Times Newspapers covering everything from Northern Ireland to bosnia and saudi arabia no luck though and its a decision thats provoked a strong reaction. Ian cobain is an Award Winning journalist it is absurd that the Security Team for the arms for have taken it upon themselves to decide he is on suitable to attend the event it is totally unacceptable for a journalist to be refused access in this way and it is a sinister breach of press freedom the arm spec comes at a time of increased scrutiny over the u. K. s weapons sales back in june westminster was forced to freeze any deals with saudi arabia after a court ruled the unlawful amid allegations that british arms hoping used in the yemen conflict now the u. N. Says arms tennis could become the sit in alleged war crimes there are certain states who are well known to be supplying weapons that includes the United States it includes the United Kingdom and it includes france to name but 3 the group of experts has recommended that 3rd states prohibit the authorization about transfers and refrain from providing arms to parties to the conflict still its perhaps no surprise that riyadh is the guest of honor at this years d. S. E. I am even less of a surprise that antiwar activists are stepping up that charge when considered to be the ts cia arms gear could be used for decades to come in atrocities and look in particular this angel of destruction of yemen we have to remember that the soviet regime is by far the Worlds Largest buyer if you keep weapons and we know that these are being used to commit atrocities christine atrocity after chastity after atrocity and my traces would not be possible without the weapons which had been licensed by Boris Johnson and his colleagues but
