Soldier in the Afghan Capital kabul the group warns that more u. S. Lives were to his last peace talks with the west up to last but officials on both sides say there is still a chance that they will resume plus in tennis and i take you as open final rafael nadal feeding daniel medevacked in pot boiling sabs it is the spaniards 19 grand slam title and now just one off the madness of all time records to move. Close. Im sorry kelly welcome to the program reporters an indian. Administered kashmir are struggling to do their jobs without internet phone lines or mobile phone service more than a month after india suspended the regions autonomy reporting from kashmir still faces severe restrictions and an unprecedented communication shutdown now our correspondent. Traveled to srinagar indian administered kashmir as she found out kashmiris are often left in a state of confusion without access to reliable news. And news room without internet phone lines almost by connections this is in 2019. Put a spotlight on 3 a reporter for the national newspaper. The computers at work simply to write 2 stories on. To get his work to the papers headquarters in another city he has to save it on a pen drive and take it to a media facilitation centered on by the government. The center has one Internet Connection and 5 computers for hundreds of local national and international journalists. Its also where he can catch up with other reporters on what they are hearing but these arent the only hardness he and his colleagues and kashmir face just really its very difficult to get off from version of sortie and write a really careful and you can say there have been so many journals have been someone about the government officials who had to do good from this information is against it sort of against a threat and of course and also. That all the occasional briefings like today when reporters are invited to hear from army and Police Official thats. The focus of the briefing however is not on the situation in the media. It is on pakistan and its alleged efforts at infiltration. Officials insist the past month has been the most peaceful and kashmir and shutting down communications has been a legitimate means to achieve that we have. This. Is. One of the many reasons the. Block. But it isnt just troublemakers that the government is what it about gogs on the media are evident when Security Forces stand down but as always reporters cannot argue a tough job ahead of the plays that many in the absence of Communication Networks and reliably knew was hearsay and conjecture on rampant if any to ask or to one dog by Security Forces for example the people of the one that while it has broken out that theres no way to ratify it. These unofficial channels are amplified because dress the bins do not trust little creepy it was on National Television news. They believe those journalists are doing the official line from the hindu nationalist government and refusing to portray the hardships on the ground. Would be was really dont get any news media reports fake news they say schools are open shops are open traffic is moving but look around you you are in the heart of srinagar shops are closed schools are closed people are distressed on the good news many of the news ive watched is totally fake we cant trust the media anymore we cant trust what they are saying. And there is grateful that his editors do not dictate what he can and cannot write but he what he is that all journalists do not have that freedom. They dont even go to their rules. Not a single comment on the street and what has happened to the people not a single comment their discourse of the it on some of those a precious precious little bits is really the precious. Right to speak freely want simply be distorted when the phone stopped ringing again. Meantime in other news russians have cast their ballots in local elections that were preceded by weeks of antigovernment protests News Agencies say that Vladimir Putins United Russia Party is facing major losses in the capital moscow Opposition Leader alexina vali has called on russians to vote tactically to block candidates from united russia after some opposition candidates were banned from running election was marked by a low voter turnout. Even the mascots outside the polling stations dont seem very enthusiastic overall turnout in moscow was only 21 percent City Council Elections 2 candidates from the governing United Russia Party and other kremlin friendly parties but many opposition candidates were kept off the ballot president Vladimir Putin cast his vote early the lack of choice didnt bother him too much when youre in some countries there are 3050 even 100 candidates but that doesnt mean to say they do better work its quality not quantity that counts or i think we have with the candidates to. The exclusion of dozens of opposition candidates has inspired weekly protests since midsummer the police of crackdown hard more than 2000 demonstrators have been arrested the best known opposition figure alexina valmy took to social media to call for voters to choose candidates who would do the most harm to the governing party. Didnt you look at every single vote for a party doesnt get is good even if its not for rose but we hope that we can do more to counter them. Local and regional votes were held across the country but the real test comes in 2 years with new parliamentary elections. Counts for more on that lets bring in our correspondent who is in moscow so erin tell us a little bit more about the results that we have so far. Well now with 100 percent of the vote counted weve seen that the that russias fractured opposition has actually managed to make extreme and roads into local government here in the city of moscow theyve actually managed to take 20 of a possible 45 seats and thats actually a great victory for the opposition you have to realize that russia has a very fractured opposition landscape with a lot of different parties some are aligned with the kremlin others are outside of the government and have more radical elements within them and because of that fractured nature of the opposition theyve had a lot of trouble actually making and roads when it comes to breaking united russias kind of monolithic grasp when it comes to russian political life and what weve seen now is a kind of a change of the old logic that used to be the case that if youre a member of putins party you automatically had election success and the election to the city doing here in moscow shows that that old math may not actually be accurate anymore so what does all this mean then for putin and for his United Russia Party well that really is kind of the question i mean right now it would be way too early to say that putin is in danger of losing power but it seems that the party thats kind of supported him for the better part of the last 2 decades is starting to lose its appeal to many every every day russians i mean of only them around 30 percent of russians say they currently support united russia and Many Political experts say the brand is actually become toxic and were starting to see a lot of their candidates starting to run as independents out of fear that association with the party could actually lose they are called them to lose support among the population and you know thats also part of the reason we may have seen some of these heavy handed crackdowns on opposition protests in recent months it was really interesting about that is that seems to be galvanizing support for the opposition among the young generation of russians and a lot of own political experts here are even calling it kind of a revolution a replay of the reply. Of the russian youth which is something we havent seen in the last several decades aaron telson in moscow thank you ira thank you for. Lets get a quick check of some other stories making news around the world in hong kong hundreds of students have formed human chains after another weekend of antigovernment protests meanwhile the administration is warning foreign governments not to interfere in what it calls the territorys internal affairs but after demonstrators outside the u.

Locals talk of the bodies still buried in the rubble the smell that pervades everything the lack of food and safe drinking water. For those unwilling or unable to leave the battle for survival is not yet over. The United States and the islamist taliban militia are blaming each other for the collapse of afghan peace talks after donald trump abruptly canceled a planned secret summit with the insurgents near washington the 2 sides have been holding weeks of lower level talks in doha to seek an end to afghanistans decades of conflict broke off those talks after a u. S. Soldier was killed in a Taliban Attack over the weekend. The body of an american soldier returns home. Sergeant ellis pareto ortiz was the 16th u. S. Service member killed in afghanistan this year one of a dozen people who died when a taliban car bomb exploded on thursday near the u. S. Embassy in kabul. That inspired President Trump to tweet an unexpected announcement. The Major Taliban leaders and the president of afghanistan were going to secretly meet with me on sunday unfortunately in order to build false leverage they admitted to an attack in kabul that killed one of our great soldiers i immediately canceled the meeting and called off peace negotiations. It has been 18 years since the u. S. Invaded afghanistan after the september 11th attacks on new york city by its ally al qaida thousands of Coalition Troops have died as well as tens of thousands of afghan troops and civilians. Afghanistans government has been critical of the negotiations between the u. S. And the taliban which have largely sidelined afghan officials a spokesman welcome trumps announcement. There was an important day for the taliban to. To brace a political life david to do so. While they were talking to the city. In the time of the mission and we didnt see any commitment. For any Peace Process except the talking and you know. Theres. Meanwhile the taliban said the decision will harm the u. S. More than anyone else but seem to leave the door open to more talks. Trump has pledged to withdraw the remaining 14000 u. S. Troops from afghanistan but he faces resistance from the government in kabul as well as from some u. S. Lawmakers who say its too early to leave the afghans on their own. Lets get more on this story now we are joined by peters man who has been following the latest developments and you know as we heard there the taliban actually were. Acted to this saying that canceling the peace talks would harm the United States more than anyone else what exactly do they mean by that is a threat i would say yes definitely it is a threat they just carry on fighting as we speak now sara there are a serious clashes in to northern provinces of afghanistan so the war hasnt stopped why the negotiations were on and now we can see an even bigger uptick in violence in afghanistan and the threat is look we are ready to fight longer than you do this is quite a turn around especially bearing in mind the fact that the tribe of ministrations of it was on the verge of reaching a deal in these talks u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei underlined that again i just want to listen to what he said and then get your reaction there are we were making Real Progress towards that we had a commitment from the taleban to make a formal public announcement that they would break with al qaeda something the american demand that it got back as far as president bush we were making progress along the way present for of course supportive of those efforts so how close were they really i think they were really very close on the threshold an agreement in principle those were the words of the special negotiator of the United States and then there was this last minute turnaround President Trump looking for a grand gesture in camp david but that was caught off very last minute and as it is emerging off the course of rifts within his own Administration Secretary tom pale being of a different opinion than the National Security adviser bolton who seems to be against any kind of live with the taliban given that internal dynamic i mean we have this campaign president from u. S. President donald trump saying that he will withdraw american troops from afghanistan as soon as possible realistic at this point i never thought that was a realistic goal and i think its a bad idea to rush into any kind of peace negotiations because you are wanting to keep a Campaign Promise which. Look at realities on the ground in afghanistan and that is basically trying to solve a conflict 800 years with u. S. Involvement but if you look at afghanistan as a whole we look at 4 decades of conflict its really rather complicated and afghanistan and rushing all it seems to be a really bad idea no easy solutions indeed.

Even explain later she says he gave her strength next year at the latest the family will reunite to come back here just as tennis now and rough and a doll be done neil and my dad have in 5 exhausting sets to win his 4th u. S. Open title in new york and dull was pushed to the brink in the 1st set scraping by 75 they did have lost the next set 63 and now. To the probable comeback for the 4th. The 3rd and 4th. To force a decisive 5th. But the spaniard came out on top winning 6 for the doll now has 1000 grams them titles to his name just the one behind the all time leader Roger Federer. Joining me here in the studio to talk through rough and a dolls for if u. S. Open title is the lima hotel he from d. That we use for it so that hes the 21000 champion was he the favorite new york though. Is always a hit in new york and i think it comes down to his style his never give up attitude the fact that hes come back from injuries i mean you know if they were caught play hard and youre going to get rewarded for it its very annoying with the American Work ethic as for didnt you meant to deflect just say hes had a very tumultuous relationship with the crowd in the United States and thats understandable but theres so do you warmed up to him and thats because at one point the hostilities was so great that he even flipped the finger at them hes come out and hes apologized of assistance and i think maybe down the road he too can become a fan favorite not as rough but perhaps because more of his personality and the fact that he is so unfiltered roughen a doll we have to return to talking about him because we use now one title away from believe in Roger Federer having the most grand slam titles to their name can he do it or will he do it well yes its very doable and i mean but you know to heres the thing Roger Federer i mean he has been ahead for a very long time when it comes to having the most mens singles grandstand wins and that record for the longest time people thought no one would even come close to it thats why they call federer the gold but now we have nadal whos just one behind him and of course also has time on his side hes 33 years old compared to Roger Federer who is 38 but there is criticism directed often at nadal and that is that people often say hes very one dimensional and they say this because he tends to dominate k. So for exams. 12 of his 1000 france them wins have come at the french open and this is why that win yesterday at the u. S. Open that was so important because it shows that hes also slowly growing very comfortable on the hot courts that he can find success on them and so yeah its very realistic that he will pass federer a move yet of i mean how much of a threat does he pose in the future to the big 3 thats the question i mean hes had an incredible summer but is this a one off a can he keep it up to mens tennis right now need some medvedev somebody who can break the dominance of the big 3. Wadjda and djokovic the last 12 grand slams actually have been won by that trio and lets also remember that medvedev he came very close to winning last night you know he almost made a comeback so he is tennis is big. Hope right now. If you sports thank you.
