Live from our studio in singapore, this is Bbc News. Its newsday. Hello and thanks forjoining us. The afghan Resistance Leader Ahmad massoud says he is ready for Peace Talks to end fighting in the Panjshir Valley. The Northern Province of panjshir is two hours from the capital, kabul, and is now the only region not controlled by the taliban. They claim they have reached panjshir s provincial capital after securing the surrounding districts, but massouds national Resistance Front disputes this. Posting on facebook, Mr Massoud said that to reach a lasting peace, the nrf is ready to stop fighting on condition that the taliban also stop their attacks and military movements on panjshir and andarab, a district in a neighbouring province. Its not clear if the taliban are likely to agree to the truce proposal. Ali nazary is the head of foreign relations for the national Resistance Front of afghanistan. Speaking to us from an undisclosed location outside of the country, he gave his assessment o
of bad policy. if then, we venture into deep blue cities where independents are fed up with high crime, drugs flowing through the wide open border and sky-high inflation. portland a pot bed of antifa hot bed of antifa christine drazan is here this morning to make her case. then, mitch mcconnell cutting out trump-endorsed candidates, but the polls tighten anyway as even alaska s ranked choice has not stopped candidate kelly tshibaka. lisa murkowski on shaky ground despite mc mcconnell s money along with general don bolduc on his advances, a special senate hopeful panel is here live. plus, the man democrats are really worried about seems to me he s a celebrity who wants to be a politician. and we ve seen how that goes.

Drives our country to be able to heat and provide the energy that we need, drive down electric prices, drive down the inflation across the board. this is something that senator hassan will not change. she is status quo. she proved it with bringing cory booker up here and jill biden. she is not going to change. she is going to reinforce the biden administration s failed energy if policies where kelly and i will go down there, and we will work and do what we needed to do to reverse them so that people aren t freezing and don t have to choose between heating and eating up here in the granite state. maria: yeah. and you ve been closing in on maggie hassan. kelly, you as well closing in on your opponents. what are the issues you re hearing from independents and voters today, kelly? thanks so much for having me, maria with. i m actually joining you from valdese, alaska, the community
Biden and his family over $5 million including 10% for the big guy, joe biden. and the fact that the biden dc oj is saying, oh, this is a drug matter, don t pay attention to the big guy, don t pay attention to the corruption, just make it one poor person struggling with addiction, that s highly concerning. and the third reason this is very troubling is i think all of this is a prelude to doing what joe biden and merrick garland want to do is indict donald trump. and they want to sea look i say look how even-handed we are. that is politics not law enforcement. maria: well, this is just really well said. it s just extraordinary to me that we re supposed to trust the commander in chief on the decisions that he makes regarding our number one adder is share, the chinese communist party, and yet he has taken in all of this money, he and his family. i ve said it from the start, this is a joe biden story, not a hunter biden story. yes, yes.
It s personal now. many doorsteps don t want to talk about politics, but this year it s personal. our race is the closest race in the nation, many polls say it s tied 50-50, and it s also the least expensive which is why it s been flooded with money from the power players in d.c. trying to buy our senate seat, but alaskans are rising together to make our voices heard. i m confident we re going to win, and viewers can help me at kelly for ak.com if you want to see a change in these backwards policies. maria: energy policy is national security policy. you ve got joe biden now depleting the strategic petroleum reserve. we re at the lowest levels since 1984. he s selling oil out of the petroleum reserve as a way to keep energy prices down, gasoline prices down. obviously, that s not a policy. do you worry about a depletion of the strategic reserve? if. i m absolutely worried. and we all know that this is just an election ploy. it s not actually policy.
