A very warm welcome you watching r. T. International with meaning. The u. S. President should rethink his position towards peace talks with the taliban is the message the groups leaders have sent to washington in an exclusive interview to ossie. I dont know that there is a behind. Us there were but we are still committed to the negotiations recently that i would start our policy from this very minute the other side is the most elusive form of what conflict except. Except peace on the table so we dont want to revitalize the whole day to step down. From back to where we want to be were just sort of there were after the fact to give it to me to go there go. Early and my colleague neil harvey spoke to r. T. Senior correspondent mark gasnier who had a chance to interview the taliban representatives. Youve got to look at this from their perspective just a few days ago they stood on the brink of a breakthrough with regard to the after more than 19 years of bloodshed they were talking they almost had a deal and then trump decides to call off the negotiations to kill off the negotiations citing an american soldier apparently killed in a taliban released it related incident the taliban themselves are blameless either because. They also refused to attend the talks. Meeting with trump and in america unless they had a side deal in place with the charges of that was slim to none going in but now weve come to a situation where its all broken down and things things are looking awful i put it to the taliban. How do you expect trump to negotiate with you when youre actively killing his troops as you speak to. Mr barak his followers that he. Doesnt follow so if. Both of us were killed one of the 2 of them so this is very. Different people to the people of other. People the way the taliban sees it is theyre defending themselves in of gallus stand in their country against Foreign Occupation forces against the United States which is which is invaded their country so they say that they wont end the insurgency yet ringback they still understand that there is no military solution to this conflict that ultimately theyre going to have to sit down and negotiate a peace settlement. American soldiers there i dont want to stop its not ill admit it the soldiers are going to be in washington they are never there was what i was but still we. Proposed and keen to bring peace and i want some through the good system but unfortunately i need to add which weve reached some sort of finality when it was cancelled by the american side of science and the last consideration which was which took a list of by. His or her mr dallas are going to some of the characters that have broken such it peace treaty and good terms and barack obama started it with a broken the peace treaty so it will be us rigid we want peace in afghanistan we wanted to give a serious message for the foreign troops is to go from up on the side so if the other side also. Wins this and he also wants the city i know what is the what is a impose on us we have to defend ourselves if the if the american side is not willing to push it and did not want peace on the table so all that we would be compared to defend ourselves i would never do this 500. 00 he is. The decades of fighting i would have guessed they must have had enough of it by now they say they want peace and it must have been difficult to have that taken away when it seemed they were close what do they do next. As he said at the end there and i asked them you know are. You weary of the death and the killing in the bloodshed in the war 2 decades almost and they said no they said. Theyre ready to fight for 100 years more that theyll continue defending their country theyll continue the insurgency but they understand that that wont end the war that the United States. Gonna stand just just by military force alone and they understand that a negotiated settlement is the unique chance either side has vending this where there was discussion on the debate is over. It a sign that listed the. Cease fire between as an american forces. To the american forces. There on. The internet when we should start. With wishes of the cease fire. And. Also other donors the donors the issues can be discussed. As i said surprise when i met them is not what i expected nevertheless theyre still looking for different avenues to. Follow through with negotiations russia has been playing host to a number of meetings there are also other venues. Around the world that are ready to bring the Afghan Government the United States and the taliban together to provide a platform for them to talk to each other and hopefully bring about an end to this terrible war thats taken so many lives. Senior u. S. Journalists are once again fighting over russia with one t. V. Network now serving the host of another but describing them as paid russian propaganda if you are trying to has the story. Here comes a familiar voice which becomes even more familiar if we hear words like russia or russian the most obsequiously approach trump right wing news outlet in america really it literally is page correction propaganda for those who still didnt recognize that that was really literally Rachel Maddow speaking about the one American News network on her and this n. B. C. Show ill get to the point of reminding you how she keeps seeing russia everywhere in a moment but dont you think there must be someone out there who wont just swallow what the m s n b c star anchor says without hitting back with a decent jab well oh a ed is filing a defamation lawsuit they want 10000000 bucks one america is wholly operated and financed by the herring family in san diego they are as american as apple pie they are not paid by russia and have nothing to do with the russian government this is a false and malicious libel and theyre going to answer for it in a court of law to tell you about the reason for when Rachel Maddow said really literally which is supposed to mean definitely no doubt shares staff with the kremlin thats another thing she said its just that a one america journalist bit freelance work for a russian based News Agency Sputnik she got him busted so bad but as ive said earlier the number of times Rachel Maddow turned her show into a grand russian paranoia episode is just difficult to carry out. Or about to find out if the new president of our country is going to do what russia wants. Is under attack from the president from the president s republican supporters and congress and the president conservative media supporters and also from the ongoing russian influence operation that a stir. All around. What happened if russia killed the power in fargo today what would happen to all the natural gas lines that that surface and falls just to fit on the coal to stay in recent memory and it wasnt in our power whether or not to turn them back on no wonder that when some folks decided to put the m s n b c hosts russia gate obsession into a mathematical perspective they found she spent more time talking about russia than all other topics combined over a certain period. Now you know what it takes to become the most watched hosts in all of cable news she got to that milestone last year but when step by step it gets revealed that a lot of what you were saying was just a flow of blah blah you make up to win views the consequences do start haunting you 1st the ratings gradually went down and then the actual conclusions of the blood to wet is on air this is what the viewers saw when Rachel Maddow 1st realized the probe wasnt going the russia gaiters way and so we know the logistics of how we got the notification that it did and obviously right now we have mostly just a ton of questions as to what millers report says how complete it is who gets to see it who gets to decide who gets to see it and when. Now here comes the lawsuit the one i mentioned nothings decided yet but probably even more people will think twice next on the here really literally in that familiar voice. Israeli israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu id like to have him to have and if that talks and thought change the meeting went on for 3 hours the security in the middle east it wrong on syria were among the topics up for debate and we have a notion of of course. This is their 3rd these here alone and they are thirsting for me to name them. Last 4 years white knuckled in is in the International LeaderBenjamin Netanyahu has met more than any other leader during this time we were invited to film the beginning of their meeting both politicians were smiling while they entered the room and in their welcome speeches steve both were very positive about profound deep and good in fact relations between russia and israel. But when you look at it im not afraid to say that thanks to your efforts to a large extent our relations have reached new levels on Security Issues and military cooperation and we know how important that is especially taking into account the continuing threat from international terrorism. Because there are 2 additional factors that play in the celebration of ties between our countries the carefully weighed policies of both of us and a strong connection between us we had a chance to talk to the israeli Prime Minister as International Media adviser and he told us security concerns and discussions about that is the major reason behind this recent visit. To russia especially given he stressed irans recent activity in syria and in the middle Eastern Region as a whole and we heard Benjamin Netanyahu talking about that as well lets take a listen. I really appreciate what you are saying all these rail safety this is manifested at the meetings weve had and with the recent meeting with the defense minister coordination with our military is always very important especially this time when we see the growing in terms of iran to use the territory of syria to attack us or to place their missile there both politicians also mentioned the upcoming israeli elections Benjamin Netanyahu visits russia while fighting a fierce Reelection Campaign at home and many say meeting widely reported may help him get more voters russian speaking pro russian. Even. Position figures even blame him for doing that on purpose thats all for the 1st time that we see him visiting russia had all of the elections in israel but we talked about that with the israeli Prime Minister is International Media adviser and he told us there is no connection between need and yet Prime Minister has always said that the security of israel is not something which we time according to elections its something thats ongoing all the time the iranian prisons throughout the middle east is growing they have presence in lebanon and in syria and iraq causing a lot of instability there basically is to aim most of this aggression towards israel not only towards israel but towards other posts in the middle east as well and the Prime Minister is concerned about. The growing role of uranium and their. Proxies their terrorist proxies throughout the middle east and so the Prime Minister would like to discuss this with president putin. Also because the president and russia have interests in syria and in the middle east and we would like to coordinated in the clashes between israel and and russia. Is moving democratic efforts to impeach President Trump could backfire that stories coming up on the 1st time. When were talking about Sustainable Growth is just above the sustainable they were the pundits not only. Grow the number of tourists the sustainability is itself in the world war which is among tame balance between the romans and or the Greek Culture and. Conservation again of nature in isolation of heritage this is our role and this is to support countries how to manage them. If you see in the british open. To become eternal we have to become kharkiv robots you tense you know we have to become the chills like you. Iraq and our you know all the superhero movies. Then i dont think ill ever i dont want to be ill go with them. Welcome back top u. S. Lawmakers have passed a key vote to define the boundaries of a potential impeachment investigation of donald trump it means the committee can designate says it herring says impeachment hearings and and power stuff to question witnesses republican members of the house fieri asleep did not move. Cannot even their bags when inquiry summoned the media is saying its hard to know what we are doing here hand thats exactly what i want to now so hearing about whether or not we have people come give testimony afterwords the president can write us a own letter in response this is more about the finding our pen pal strategy brawl of post covering this this is non anything special investigation this already been completed bob mahler hearing they solid now was a fly if the majority wants to exercise the houses power of impeachment oh you got to do just ask house to do so and in piece of resolution could not pass the full house so this committees trying to have its cake need it to you want to give the illusion of impeachment was out the reality of it im want to go a long time to be able to say this welcome to fantasy oh were here supposes of the proto pope it will strengthen that chances of gathering key evidence against the president on allegations of corruption in but and obstruction of justice but democrats the pings sending mixed signals says the special counsel rub a didnt find trunk kill see and more pin explains democrats seem to be rolling ahead with their efforts to remove donald trump from office you House Judiciary Committee called for procedures related to its investigation of the president s wrong doing now for a lot of people that seems to put the smell of impeachment into the air there are crowds on the House Judiciary Committee are expected to vote on expanding their impeachment inquiry into president trompe democrats taking formal steps towards impeachment this is it had page been in corey in and search a something doing page President Trump over so weve got a 134. 00 democrats voting to began and impeachment inquiry but do they really mean it at this point to democrats can even seemed to agree on whats going on with the house judiciary investigation who have been in the midst of an impeachment investigation no were not in an impeachment investigation the house is investigating to determine whether or not there should be an impeachment investigation so why might the democrats seem to be a little bit reluctant well in 2020 its not just the president ial race but theres also some local elections and it seems like impeaching trump isnt the best vote getter polls show that 72 percent of democrats favor impeaching donald trump but for the country overall 59 percent oppose now that seems like bad news for the new progressive socialist wing of the democrats that seem to have that their entire house on it remember this were going to go in there were going to use the money from would love it if the different democrats tried to impeach him its the kind of battle he loves the public is totally turned off its not following this ready controversy at all so i think it would definitely play into trumps hands it will do the democrats very little good in the 2020 alexion and probably will actually wind up backfiring virtually impossible if he could be convicted in the senate and removed from office so its just a its a lot of hot air over nothing now the problem for the democrats in removing donald trump is that according to the u. S. Constitution once the proceedings begin it would be the u. S. Senate that would then vote to convict and remove the president the constitution requires a 2 thirds vote among the senators and the democrats dont come anywhere near that so what would the charges be and all the most common answer youll get is obstruction of justice but theres a little bit of a problem with that we did not however make a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime so obstructing an investigation into something that you did not do now you could certainly lock up an average joe for that but its a pretty weak case for driving a president from office some democrats even think that it would be bad for the country to impeach donald trump its important for us to think about what is in the best interest of the country and the american people. And continuing to pursue impeachment is something that i think will only further tear our country apart speaker of the house nancy pelosi seems to be pouring cold water on the idea as well but she chooses her words very carefully take a listen when you go down a path like impeachment which is there egypt i said they could divide the country whatever decision we made in that regard would have to be done with our strongest possible hand the democrats have accused donald trump of being a criminal a traitor and a fascist theyve got their supporters out for his blood but it looks like if they actually go for it this might backfire in the long term. Ard see new york. Visit by independent american journalists to syria has sparked outrage from posters the media they travel to government held areas to assess the countrys recovery presented a new hobby spoke to both of the journalists. Im staying in the old city of damascus by the eastern gate of bob sharkey and i walked across the street across a highway into a neighborhood about a few 100 meters away that had been controlled for 4 months by Jaish Al Islam the wahhabi militia backed by saudi arabia and met residents who had actually lived under their fear craddick rule who described kidnappings rape of women people being executed in the street for violating the theocratic rule and how happy they were to be finally freed from this gang what i was observing was a city and outside of the city that is much much safer since i last was there last and i was in syria was 2 years ago there were still fighting it was still on save there were checkpoints everywhere now that the government has taken back many areas especially around accidents baskets outside of damascus you can travel to the suburbs and beyond the suburbs without going through a 1000000 checkpoints not being worried about being kidnapped or being sniped moreover our life has gone to a reasonable degree back to normal for a lot of people. And rania khalik travel to the capital damascus with the aim of speaking to locals and observing syrias recovery from terrorists and they say they received no funding from the countrys governments among those angered by the visits were journalists from c. N. N. And the intercepted queues them of white washing and Government Support here are some of their reactions this is some goebbels prancing around Syrian Government luxury tour posi tourist photos near torch centers and look the Syrian Refugees who can never return to their country without frisking being tortured to death started to read a certain journalists thread from inside damascus this am then found myself getting pell potations which progressed into spasms of rage how can anyone be so blindly credulous on the cossacks involved it is such a disgrace. L m a o iranian mocks are in damascus neither of them speak arabic yet they claim to be talking to many syrians there why arent they disclosing whos translating for them and helping the amount of this is to be expected and so theyre trying to intimidate americans or europeans and people from the west from coming here theyre trying to break off Cultural Exchange between us and average people who just happen to live in the area controlled by the Syrian Government where most syrians live and what weve been able to see and report already has threatened the narrative thats been conveyed by western Corporate Media and a pack of kind of dime a dozen correspondents acting as state department i mean i think the people attacking us have an agenda theyre either convinced that theyre right or theyre working on behalf of somebody else or both this isnt something were were thats new to us were used to it i think its why we can recognize an operation when we see one and this is if its very coordinated you know these people are talking in some d. M. Group and coordinating against us and its quite obvious and its not surprising we expected it and i you know i think its something that happens particularly any time anybody visits a government or the Syrian Government side. Of syria and offers a realistic perspective they can expect to be attacked but more importantly i think the reason there are so outraged by me and max is because me and max tend to be quite effective in offering a different perspective and offering a reality on the ground kind of perspective what we love to hear your thoughts here on ars he said to get in touch by following us on social media and even your comments that were back at the top of the hour with the latest headlines well see if.
