5 pm here in moscow having a good day what if you are in the wild thanks to choosing a National Lots of stories for you this hour starting with this one donald trump chose to spend his thanksgiving paying his fost of a visit to afghanistan and greasing american troops based on he had a message for them revealing talks with the taliban are back on despite being declared dead just 2 months ago my colleague daniel holkins discussed this with me. 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 for steve at home and for his global influence in that region and internationally of course and hes been given this promises so many times that thanksgiving feels that short reason to afghanistan was all about 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 weve 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 thought they have there been any success is 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 to 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 were so many peace initiatives on afghanistan led by more 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 sayings given he posted afford to shop 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. As you mentioned there its a good photo opportunity good p. R. For the election next year exeunt in terms of realistic chance of getting a deal how optimistic are you 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. On his son 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 a realist at home so i mean its not yet over. The mayor of a small town in bolivia who was brutally assaulted by protesters amid unrest triggered by the countrys political crisis is refusing to resign Patricia Archie has now left hospital images of the attack on her on social media revealing the violent towards politicians of the party of ousted leader has a warning you may find the following scenes upsetting at the start of november after setting the tao on fire and as more prorated have baffert in public and sprayed a rat during the 4 hour ordeal she was made to kneel and sign a Resignation Letter she told us. Still being treated the kidney damage sustained from the blows she received. When what happened was disgusting im now recovering from renal damage that i suffered during the assault and im still in pain the also cut off my hair. But they can change my views everything was so confusing at that moment many of them covered their faces when 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 libya is now facing Political Uncertainty the selfappointed right wing government of senators on yes has already been accused of abuse as evo morales has resigned after the countrys military suggested he stepped out but was on the back of a wave of protest following octobers election and allegations of voter forward his supporters protest what they see as a coup during the countrys postelection unrest 34 people were killed and more than 800 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 the city we will keep working to achieve all our goals it was very difficult to return here after everything 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 you know the believe in people cannot live like this. And ill cross back to our top story about trump surprise visit to afghanistan i mean go live to political analyst for more on this much talk tell us what was the reaction in kabul to trumps announcement about reopening the talks with the taliban. Well it certainly you know but honest on everybody has been advocating for resumption of the starts because most of the analyst believes that there is no reality of this phone but. Then peaceful settlement so apologies for the dialogue so yes its a very good omen very good news in here that it is widely welcomed in the sense that we are heading back to the negotiation process for a political settlement and in time some of the americans have rating that chances of a positive outcome with discussions with the taliban now i mean this has been said before but how do you think do you think were close to an effort to reaching some kind of agreement. When basically you know the good part is that all parties to the conflict have a common understanding reason to be the only cooperate there cannot be any other afternoon to the beast process yes its to me answer jobs there are possibilities are big on because because of the last times experience we have a president from stop the peace negotiations all of the sudden announcing it to tweet but then get it to tries to think otherwise and thats why you can see if you see the dollar up on have. Been coming forward and pushing for the Peace Process yeah i want government off course ive been looking forward to the Peace Process the fragilities i may not dash straight or to the whole process but at the end youre good but is that at least something is going on in iraq that would be peace negotiations now cliff you talked about the parties in the area understanding that something needs to be done of course the u. S. Is not the past nice try to negotiate with the taliban that have been on the pads and getting moscow on to iran how do you rate that success. I think that has been the problem in the boston because a particularly in my small school in china i have to be on board with the whole Peace Process thats already done its nuts and i dont see them that major uplift in this little bit but also whats more solicitation of china and also a pocket somehow to be engaged and concerns are at risk and then the consensus is with all these countries we reaching that Peace Agreement also so not are you aware least in countries with white rule in dumb luck in showing that the peace. Agreement you mean simply said it is implemented as the egg doing the negotiation process. And of course we know that the war in afghanistan has been one of the longest conflicts in history i mean when reaching almost 2 decades now what do you think has kept the u. S. For so long. But the problem was that. The International Community in june a little lack of consistency resolve we. Find comfort if you go fuck you to 2001 the taliban were totally. Ignoring the will. Wont process the current conference where the new state system was being negotiated lead to and it took at least 5 to 6 years the International Community to realize that there is need for a peaceful settlement rather than pushing for a 1000000000 to one fixed contest and then the Afghan Government was not. To build a consensus with its International Partners now look after their kids seeing back there is normal and to destroy our here in which and in a shock and the only solution can be the peaceful negotiation the all parties have now the allies it was a certain period of time in college i dont want to join the Peace Process but the lead problem and begin to talk to me and gain control of the context. Of not coming forward so there have been different parties running away from peaceful settlement believing that they can have a military we see in this. Ongoing military. Did this so well and conflict now after nearly 2 decades or 5 peace have reached a consensus this conflict has been new to her being all the while peace because of the long long standing still needs back that that continues to dominate where no partys in a position to win on the go down and they have im disturbed that the only art can be quality. That was political unless a must stop what he many thanks for your insight on the program. And now a dream day for you shopaholics out the black friday shopping struggle and the gets under way in shops all around the wild im going to say americans alone will spend around 87000000000. 00 this time around chasing the very best deals out there but there is a darker side to this retail festival as arties dont quarter experience. 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 criminal is already turned 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 20172018 alone 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. These 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 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 so who wants to be part of this when ever there is a chance of fraudulent activities especially with what we know about the dark web in certain facets of the internet and with all of the hacking capabilities 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 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 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 true b. 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. The iraqi Prime Minister caved in to pressure off to weeks of violent protests and announces hell quit all the details on not right after this short break. Imagine a powerful unstrung the system then you have the records and what we have done is to try and identify something coming in the brain where the extension of the ripples corresponds to the depths of your consciousness. You know world a big part of the market 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 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. Join me every thursday on the alex simon show and ill be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business im showbusiness ill see you then. Welcome back on a new story for you the south iraq heat Prime Minister abdul muckety says he will resign to allow lawmakers to form a new government has announced what follows the violent protests across the country with people demanding a change of government they voiced their anger the course of the says unemployment. Corruption more than 300. 00 people have been killed and thousands more have been injured since the rowdies began last month. And back to a city thats been rated grabbing Headlines Police in hong kong have moved and did a 2 week the University Campus siege by protesters. Distributed into the campus yesterday and this morning to remove a large amount of dangerous are germs and colette and if it is for crimes our cordon was the 1st and the campus was held over to the University Management of. This case is really alarming for home call it shows. That explosive has been formally into the hands of Young Students so lets take a closer look at what exactly the police found on the campus it seems the protesters were storing thousands of petrol bombs and explosives they also had hundreds of bottles filled with corrosive liquids the University Campus became a central part of field between activists and police during the fiery standoff protesters built barricades to protect themselves they used bricks and petrol bombs along with bows and arrows Police Responded with tear gas and arrested more than 1000. 00 activists. Now to get all the latest on this lets cross live to the International Independent china specialist. Andrew tell us this was obviously we know one of the tensest moments of the unrest so for far the police found 4000. 00 petrol bombs it seems as if the violence was going to escalate but the protestors were sort of preparing for war. Well this is different this is definitely decisive chapter of 6 months of antigovernment protests and and the whole city descending into. Anarchy as. Opportunity chip set up. And the Mass Transit Railway stations are set on fire and shops belonging to. Chinese affiliations or ransacked and even. Ordinary citizens who opposite will wheels were attacked and one of them given set on fire and now the campuses. Weve been turning into factories of producing petrol bombs and the University Administration simply were powerless now this of course is the tail end of this shop and as it were of these protests and. In forming this kind of dynamics as well of this satisfaction against the government the young people especially a whole generation brought up in a system which has not given them any sense of chinese nationhood most of them do not feel themselves or of consider themselves as chinese anymore they are hong kong us and all they know is that their way of life seems to be increased increasingly threatened and of course the one country 2 system is seen to be tooting more towards the one country rather than the 2 systems and then by 2047 when the formula is supposed to expire most of them have not even retired and then they found were difficult to get on the housing leather and of course they increasing demand for more democracy and freedom than is allowed under hong kong basic law hong kong constitution but then of course the while in the protests is being taken. Montefiore by the local politicians as well as signs of international or foreign influence funding some of the activists or even john provocateurs but also. Training them in some of the tactics and of course that this kind of and t. Supposed to be the author of that of terry and campaigns theyve been called back to us in hong kong but all over the world for many many years by democratic countries like the United States because they believe that thats the way to promote freedom and democracy but you know hong kong d is a very very special situation hong kong has always been a free city and has been held in high regard as one of the safest and fierce economists in the world no you cant beat a few economy in the world if your society is not free but all the other hand those this is artist paul apart because of perceived lies in the qualities housing and then as the ratios of the young people i want to ask you also that with the crucial moment the weekend before the elections that was hailed as a landslide victory for the protesters do you think that thats going to affect any way how the situation develops is that going to suggest that maybe the situation calmed down in fact. Well this is a watershed moment as far as the local you actions are concerned now the local elections even though their powers are rather limited confined to. City management that they take on of issues but dont forget that that that is the basis for further the lection next year for the lets the lady of council which is hong kongs parliament and even more. Year 2022 there will be the election even under hong kongs restrictions under the basic law the elections for the next chief executive and then the because the Democratic Movement is too strong as shown by the Election Results so future candidates would have to show more propensity towards more democracy and freedom of democracy so this is really a game changer and in the light of this in the light of this. Movement and then the young peoples have some of the genuine at the satisfaction the way Hong Kong Government ought to be governed would need to be completely change and revamped so this is really a watershed moment for the future governance of hong kong as a special Administrative Region under one country 2 systems i think beijing those it too well because you can send in the late the people who Liberation Army that would target destroy the one country 2 system and would give china a bad name as in the case of the 989001 square kind of incident that china of course. Those that this is a possible trap but on the other hand because of this rising Democratic Movement the way hong kong nice to be governed would need to be completely changed because when hong kong was taken over by beijing to believe it was that you could carry on with the colonial. Top administration now this ministration model is the longer fit for purpose and thats why i said that this is a watershed moment as to how hong kong should be governed in the future you know in accordance with the holocaust closer to sion as a special Administrative Region of china so the elections we know one as you say watershed moment another one i think that i really want to get your opinion on is we know that donald trump slightly angered china when he signed the quite controversial hong kong human rights and democracy act but using fight back and said that this region is tantamount to interference whats your take on that what do you think chinas going to respond in any way. Well you see the bill the hong kong human rights that the baucus the act has quite unprecedented bipartisan support in the United States both supported by a strongly bonded democrats as well as the republicans because the perception is that chinas rising china is getting more and more powerful in the International Arena and that of course is china mortal theres a lot sit well with the kind of values held body United States even more so China Threatens to. Challenge the kind of dominance or heads of many of the United States in all sectors including tray. All of g. And of course assault on a c. And even the kind of mortal. Because of the im a critic model of kind of wheres the moral of. This. As of now there are all sorts of fissures and dissatisfaction around the world in the western model so the fear is by partisan because of this fear that resulted in the push almost unanimous push for this whole cancun would rise act at a quarter of beijing would act would. Reacted quite. Strongly as perceived to be intervention in the whole calls internal affairs but of course all causes International City is right and proper for other countries to come along because there are many many businesses foreign businesses all called and whole call is held to be a fee sport or the doorstep of china but comes back to my earlier. Point that the way that whole qualities to be governed to be almost completely change with this kind of view environment that was International Independent china specialist entre long we really appreciate your time on your comments thank you so much.
