Germany is hosting this is climate talks from the United States out of the disagreement what now the global effort to tackle Climate Change. Is a live reports from the Climate Conference and down from the frontlines of Global Warming climate as a west. As President Donald Trump sends more u. S. Troops to fight the war in afghanistan the i. C. C. Prosecutor is calling for an investigation into war crimes in that country so how complicit have afghan authorities been this weeks headlines for the president of afghanistan hamid karzai. Thanks for joining me on up front in august u. S. President donald trump announced his plan to escalate the u. S. Involvement in afghanistan americas longest ever war and to send more u. S. Troops to fight the taliban you tweeted that you strongly oppose this new u. S. Strategy that its quote against the National Interest of afghanistan how is it against the National Interest of your country to have your allies sending you more troops to fight the number one threat to peace in your country the taliban the Afghan People or second tired of war in whatever name that may be. When we welcomed the United States in afghanistan in two thousand and one the Afghan People. For the first time accepted and supported and welcomed Foreign Military power in the hope that finally will have peace and stability and for a number of years that was true. But when attacks increased. Violence increase. Terrorism increased and no clear picture was offered in fighting it rather it was the same old thing of afghans continuing to suffer we are by now very tired of the daily killing of the Afghan People but the u. S. Government would say that theyre sending more troops now for the same reason that they sent troops in the first place in two thousand and one to defeat to fight to beat the taliban the taliban are the cause of the violence in afghanistan they would say not us troops they are not there are not anymore the only cause of violence in afghanistan the war itself is breeding violence in afghanistan hamid karzai the last time i interviewed you on the show in twenty fifteen you said and i quote i wish the Afghan Taliban who are truly from this country would come back to their own country and would help rebuild afghanistan and bring peace turns out the taliban has returned today that group controls the contest more than forty percent of the country the most amount of territory since it was driven from power by the u. S. In two thousand and one the taliban is now carried out more than eighty attacks against innocent afghan civilians just this year alone im guessing this isnt the kind of taliban return you were hoping for. Yes exactly i want the taliban who belong to afghanistan who are afghans to come back to afghanistan and to. Sit down with their own people and bring peace to afghanistan and through that bring the stability to our life that we need forty percent of the country or in the past three years have fallen in the hands of the taliban that to speak for the failure of the u. S. Strategy in afghanistan. The u. S. Feared in afghanistan because. They did not target the sanctuaries they did not go to the sanctuaries to the sources of training and nursing and financing terrorism the rather went on attacking afghan villages afghan homes afghan children they created prisons in afghanistan they violated afghan sovereignty in every imaginable way the way they behaved in afghanistan the havey handed military behavior in afghanistan caused the Afghan Peoples alienation in that in a nation is bringing about the troubles that we have you mention u. S. Heavy handedness and the killing of civilians by the u. S. And the continuation of war but what about your own leadership you were president of afghanistan for a decade at the i. C. C. Prosecutor the International CriminalCourt Prosecutor has Just Announced shes requesting an investigation into war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in afghanistan going back to two thousand and three and in the i. C. C. Is twenty sixteen report they said they had a reasonable basis to believe war crimes of torture and related ill treatment by Afghan Government forces did take place lets be clear that was on your watch as president of afghanistan yes yes yes he is right. She is right to to launch such an investigation that is exactly why things have gone wrong in afghanistan violation of the lives of the Afghan People thats exactly why i began to have differences with the United States and with their heavy handed approach do you agree that there were Human Rights Violations by Afghan Security forces while you were president we are aware of them at the time definity there were violations by the Afghan Security forces by the us and by others and that is exactly the reason that i am asking for peace in afghanistan but do you take responsibility. In the bilateral as head of israel to us do you take responsibility as head of state at that time for those violations surely surely very much very much ive spoken about this before i have issued instructions on this before and we should instructions to our Intelligence Department or toward Defense Department or internal or minister of interior repeatedly. In cabinet meetings through written instructions how could we be so much in trouble if there were no violations in thats exactly the pain of the Afghan People for the past thirty years violations at the hands of our own governments and violations perpetrated by foreigners it is this that must end. Definitely we have to we have to we have to go to those roots in order to have peace in afghanistan if the i see that is what it is you turn to our values after you personally you will cooperate with or youll be willing to be interviewed give evidence etc of like hell of course of said oakley well come in and i have been asking for this to so that they come to afghanistan and investigate as to what has happened in this country how many cars i can i just clarify for the sake of our audience at home this is obviously a big legal and political issue when you say you welcome the i. C. C. Investigation like hell youll cooperate with them you know youll youll definitely cooperate with are you saying you admit to guilt in relation to war crimes that took place on your what youre saying they did happen or are you saying yes lets have an investigation but youre not sure what happened no i meant emitting more honesty and an upper hand and on the high ground on what i would see in this issue ok i want those who have done it to take into account are you one of those who did it as the commander and one of our forces form at the time no no no im one of those who who stood against it ok we were really and clearly and in writing and that is the issue of difference between me and the United States on this issue and that is where things went wrong between us many human rights where as i told you at a time already on torture when they were going to do what it was going on abuse was going on and your government did nothing thats what a lot of human Rights Groups would say no no theyre wrong they didnt tell me i told them ok i told the western human rights bodies as to what was going on in afghanistan. Ok they didnt tell me they were hiding it the western press was hiding it i told them i did it i mean there are Human Rights Watch report from that time where they documented in two thousand and ten two thousand and eleven what was going on they would heavily dispute your claim on this and. Exactly these reports were did these reports were based based on my state been so on my on my struggle against violation of ghana stand. By by a by the u. S. Forces and their allies in here sure ok just turning to pakistan in august u. S. President trump called out pakistan for providing safe havens for terrorist organizations including the taliban your current president ashraf ghani agrees hes called pakistan the biggest obstacle to peace you last time you were on this show you claim that pakistani militia forces were behind terrorist attacks quote unquote inside of afghanistan just to be clear you disagree with trump and garney on more u. S. Troops but you agree with trump and garney on getting tougher with pakistan yes i do agree that we must engage war effectively with parks than. But president trumps recent tough stand against pakistan is not related to extremism or terrorism or violence in afghanistan here afghanistan is used as a pretext to put pressure on pakistan because of the larger issues that are not related to afghanistan immediately it is for this reason that again i oppose this because it uses afghanistan in a big game for some what it does interest with pakistan we have our differences we have our issues yes a lot of violence has come to afghanistan from pakistan but that is an issue that we must address directly to pakistan the u. S. And others must help that issue not to use us as a pretext for it or your confrontation region because that you told me on the show in twenty fifteen that isolate afghanistan has no ground here at all there is no element there is no medium for them to grow or rise or strengthen and yet just this year i salute carried out more than twenty attacks inside of Afghanistan AfghanOfficials Say there are more than fifteen hundred eisel fighters on the ground in your country do you think you spoke too soon no no what i meant there was the they are not afghans that they are foreign created foreign nurtured for a foreign purpose that they are not indigenous to us but they clearly have support now inside of afghanistan they dont have any support inside afghanistan they are clearly funded by a broad and for a purpose related to a broad you mention a broad youve accused the United States of being behind it and you have said quote i do not differentiate at all between diet and america you said icily is quote a us tool and that unmarked military helicopters are supplying eisel in afghanistan do you have even a shred of evidence for what are pretty controversial and inflammatory claims. Turned the evidence a server in the fact that they are there in spite of the us presence in afghanistan to fight extremism i assayas emerged under their watch but one of ghanas time is completely other their air surveillance but thats evidence of yours is a failure you notice again in the war alive without thats not a temptation of us complicity youre claiming complicity of the us and isis are working together which is a big clue we have more than that look we have suffered so much in this game that that never immoral being will be able to deny that extremism is a tool in the hands of the United States they did it when we were fighting the soviets the same tool they do using it in a bigger way now today just to be clear are you claiming that President Donald Trump is working with isis in afghanistan well these are these are inflammatory statements that are trying to make me make an argument you said i couldnt tell you i have i do not differ. In america they get unmarked military helicopters again so that your claim is not mine they are your influx of years and yes i am saying that but im not going to link prison trying to this i mean this is this is a linking individuals im talking of a system. Therefore for me to link an individual is not the right thing ok let me rephrase the question then is the Trump Administration the u. S. Government working with isis in afghanistan in my view and did the. Prisons surveyed. Military political intelligence that has emerged and for two years the Afghan People came cried out of their suffering of violations nothing was done and then they drop a bomb the biggest nonnuclear bomb on our people in the name of fighting and the next day that takes the next district in afghanistan that proves to us that there is a hand in it and that one can be no one else but them in afghanistan if that is not the case i will go back to my original statement to you live to come back to the Afghan People and say that they have failed then we will sit down with them ok in really draw a map of cooperation with the benefit of hindsight how many cars are looking back sixteen years on from nine eleven in the original intervention do you wish the us had never intervene militarily in afghanistan after nine eleven that theyd never gone to war with the taliban to topple mullah omars government jewish afghans maybe had tried to do it on their own without us without foreign involvement or support oh oh on this question of us having been able to do it on our own of course a million times i wish they had not come i wish we had not been been naive enough to invite them then at that time thinking that they were going to bring good to us we as a people are very grateful to the help that has been given to us which we consider help where our hospitals are belt where our schools are veiled where our roads or belt were life has improved were very grateful to the American People but you cannot tell me that have given you money so i have the right to bomb your house and if i complain dont bomb my house my house you say well does not gratefulness. We differentiate were we are helped we are grateful well be. Imprisoned hurt we are not grateful we stand against it how many thanks for joining me on the front thank you good to talk to you yes this month the u. S. Government released an exhaustive scientific report on Climate Change so i do humans is the dominant cause of Global Warming so should we still be optimistic about humanitys ability to combat Climate Change earlier i spoke with Andrew FreedmanSenior Science editor at mashable and David Wallace well the author of a controversial new York Magazine article titled the uninhabitable earth which paints a pessimistic doomsday scenario for the planet i began by asking david why he chose such a fatalistic approach my goal was to do a survey of the Sciences Best understanding of worst case climate scenarios so what i did was i took the uns projection for. What was their median projection for how warm the planet would get without human action to halt emissions which is about five degrees and i took their projection for the high and of how warm the planet would get by twenty one hundred if we took no action which was about eight degrees and i took that to a series of scientists with special to use in certain subfields and basically asked them what those temperatures would mean for their areas of expertise what it would mean for Agricultural Production what it would mean for heat stress what it would mean were pretty dire. They were and you know i want to be clear here i think i was in the article although some of my critics missed it that what i was presenting was really a were absolute worst Case Scenario survey and one of the things i wanted to do was show readers how the spectrum of terrifying possibilities could unfold let me put that point to Andrew Friedman and youre a Science Writer who spent more than a decade covering Climate Change in your view what are the odds the chances of all this all much of this actually happening of the earth becoming partially uninhabitable by the end of the century for example as david has suggested or is this is some of davids critics have suggested or just climate dissolves to pull. You know it is very unlikely is it theoretically possible yes. But i would say you know that thats sort of gets to be my essential criticism of the piece and i think what was a lot of peoples criticism in the Climate Community which is that it didnt really get across the probabilities of the scenario that he was presenting so i have very little problems with the dire scenarios that he presented in the sense that heres how they would play out i dont think that he you know made fundamental mistakes in how those scenarios might play out however the reader comes away from that piece feeling terrified and not understanding really what the likelihood is of those terrifying outcomes versus somewhat less terrifying outcomes or even and you know more manageable ive got to let me ask you this a lot of people when they do look at Climate Science will read stories about Climate Science you know they come away thinking oh its bad because were going to have rising sea levels or because we can have a bit more extreme weather few more hurricanes whats wrong with simply making the public aware of just how bad things could theoretically get in. I dont know that there is anything technically i dont know t
