pakistan press, to scold pakistan press as if they're -- pakistan has one of the freest presses of the world. all you have to do since i've been prime minister in the last ten months, the criticism i have received from my own press, unprecedented. so to -- >> when you say unprecedented, you can't -- wait, wait. no way you're treated worse than i am. you're going to have to speak because i didn't hear your words. >> yes, are you going to raise the issue of freedom -- >> freedom of the press? yes, we will do that. we're talking about hostages, we're talking about hostages being held in various places. i've had very good luck with hostages, with north korea, with many places. they have treated us with respect and i appreciate it. made a big difference. we have two or three hostages that we're talking about. that's one of the gentlemen that we have heard about and we will be discussing that with many other subjects. yes, we will. >> president trump, we will be giving you good news about the two hostages. >> thank you. [ overlapping speakers ] >> go ahead. ask it again. >> you are escalatin

the problem was pakistan, this is before pakistan was not doing anything for us. they were really, i think, subversive. they were going against us and this is something that we'll be-- >> i ended that a year and a half ago, 1.3 billion. to be honest i think we have a better relationship with pakistan right now than we did when we were paying that money, but all of that can come back depending what we work out. we're working out things that are very important. this, i consider this very important. we're working on things that are very, very important and i think at the end of this, at the end of a very short time we're going to have a great relationship with pakistan and we should. it's a great country. it's a great-- they're great people. i have many friends from pakistan, living in new york i have a lot of pakistani friends, i will tell you that and they're great people. smart, tough, they are tough, there's no question about that. they're like him, they're tough. >> no, i'm not going to be watching, maybe i'll see a little of it. i'm not going to be watching mue

i don't think pakistan would ever do a thing like that. pakistan never lies. but iran does, unfortunately. let's see what happens with iran. we're ready for the absolute worst, and we are ready for sense, too. we are very geared up. they are really the number one state of terror in the world. i have to say, they pulled back, because their money is running very low. the deal with obama was a disaster, because it was a short-term deal that did not cover ballistic missiles. you couldn't inspect the important sites, there were many things wrong. they gave $150 billion plus $1.8 billion in green, beautiful cash. i think pakistan would have to have some of that cash. they gave $1.8 billion in cash, which is unthinkable. instead of being respectful and thankful -- which frankly, they should have been to the united states and to president obama for making that ridiculous deal -- instead of being respectful, they put their finger up in the air, the thumb, and they disrespected the united states. they shouldn't have done that. that was a big mistake. one of the things i

reporter: [indistinct] freedom of the press in pakistan -- prime minister khan: pakistan -- s pakistan has one of the freest presses in the world. receivedcism i have from my own press, unprecedented. pakistan press is a joke -- pres. trump: wait a minute. there is no way you are treated worse than i am. [laughter] pres. trump: i didn't hear your words. reporter: [indistinct] pres. trump: freedom of the press? we will do that. we are talking about hostages, we are talking about hostages being held in various places. i have had very good luck with hostages. with north korea, with many places that treated us with respect. i appreciate it. it made a big difference. we have two or three hostages we are talking about, one of the gentlemen we have heard about. we will be discussing that with many other subjects. trump,r: and, president we will be giving news about the two hostages -- amp, minister khan: president trump, we will be giving news about the two hostages. pres. trump: thank you. reporter: [indistinct] pres. trump: ask again? i really think they must hate our country. i think the f

i don't think pakistan would that, a thing like right? pakistan never lie. ut iran does, unfortunately, so, let's see what happens with iran. the absolute r worst. too.e're ready for sense, but we're very geared up, and if they are really the number one state of terror in the world. they pulled back because their money is running very low. the deal that president obama disaster because it was such a short term. it didn't cover ballistic and they couldn't see the importance sites. you couldn't inspect the sites.ant there were many things wrong, and, of course, they gave $150 $1.8 billion in green, green, beautiful cash. pakistan would like to have some of that cash but they cash, whichillion in is unthinkable, and instead of thankful, ctful and which frankly, they should have been to the united states, and making dent obama for that ridiculous deal, instead of respectful, they put their this up in the air and, finger, thumb, they put their finger up in the air and they states, cted the united they shouldn't have done that. that was a big mistake. one of the b

pakistan has set up talks between the taliban and u.s. officials the 1st face to face talks that wouldn't have happened without pakistan's assistance so that is one of the reasons why president trump is shifting his position on pakistan equally his offer to negotiate to mediate in the ongoing kashmir dispute at once again seen by pakistan as a warming of relations with the united states but importantly.

will stay behind bars in pakistan. joining us now is the w.'s on monocycle politician in usually based in bonn but visiting us here in berlin today now the court has made its decision but he can't enforce that decision so what happens next where the i.c.j. suspicions are not binding or to put it in another or to rephrase it the i suggest decisions are binding only if the countries involved consent to the decision so in this particular case pakistan would most likely order a review but as we know pakistan has also who the decision as a victory for justice system so it's likely that of course. will not be exonerated he will not be sent back to india relieved of and back to india but there will be a review tell us a little bit about jackass we don't know that much about him and i understand that there was some controversy about a supposed confession ok john there is a former officer of the indian navy as india puts it now pakistan says that when ok let me just go back here a little bit jug of was arrested in 2016 and pakistan said they arrested hi

pakistan is a big country. it's actually a very big country and they have tremendous product they make great product and they make pretend us, i've bought from pakistan when i was in the private sector, they make incredible product, brilliant hard working people i think we'll have a fantastic trade relationship. i don't mean we'll increase it by 20%. i think you could go literally it sounds great. you could go 10 times more or 20 times more because what we do right now is not much and we should do a lot so i think and i also do agree that that has so much to do with great peace, having a great trading relationship has so much to do with peace and extremism in this case, i expect that we will, within a very short period of time, start having very significant trade with pakistan. reporter: is there anything scheduled at this point since you met with kim jong-un? president trump: no, just have a very good relationship and probably would like to meet and we'll see what happens. there was a little correspondence rec

it gives a concession to pakistan when it says it is a bilateral issue. and discuss it with pakistan but again with the same precondition that islamabad support to islamist militants in the n.t. very interesting i want to circle back to afghanistan because it was such a big agenda item for the meeting between the 2 leaders just how much can prime minister khan. how much can he do in terms of resolving the peace talks. imran khan has a good standing among the taliban throughout his political career he has dried to just defy their position so i think he can do something for us here but the main player in this regard is the pakistani army and i think most important in that drum kong meeting was the pakistani army chief budget was whether to undergo badr on his army are the ones that can deliver something to the u.s. on afghanistan if they really wanted to but the problem is u.s. has always accused them that they play are double game in afghanistan to support the militants and have the same time they negotiate with the u.s. and they have gone to go and. chann

states is vital for pakistan. we have links that have gone back since pakistan became independent. we have been fighting wars together since the first soviet invasion of afghanistan. terror which was after 9/11. [indiscernible] [indiscernible] pres. trump: that's a big question. that could go on for hours that answer. [applause] i would say we have a very good relationship with india. i know your relationship is strained a little bit or a lot. india will be a big part of our conversation today. we will see if maybe we can help intercede. i think that is something that can be brought back together. in afghanistan we have reduced our number of troops by quite a bit. reducecontinuing to troops in afghanistan while working with pakistan and others to get an agreement signed. we will talk about india and pakistan. >> -- pres. trump: i know all about huawei and the 5g and we are working on it and we have companies that are getting very strong in that department. will have the best 5g in the world like we have everything else. silicon valley cannot be computed with. for the brain -- compe

he was asked about aid for pakistan quickly, we have a better relationship with pakistan than we did. we will have a better relationship. as this comes to us, that will come to us as it happens. this is not a general relation of socialists. we are concerned that we are turning the system over to corporate america. i don't think they are looking for radicalization of what -- who we are and what we do. >> so that was joe biden campaigning in the vat over. the former vice president took a shot at bernie sanders biden said, he communicates regularly with young people, and the primary voters find this. at 72% say steady and reliable leadership is more important thawhen choosing a candidate and 25% believe a bold new candidate is more important. what are you clapping for, capri capri? >> capri: they don't want a bold new crazy idea. so to your point, incremental change is important. >> harris: which ones do you think he is pointing to specifically without naming? >> as far as the crazy radical folks, he's not talking about, elizabeth warren and cory book cory booker. >> he would like to say

pakistan a pakistan helped us a lot in the past. we have a new leader here, sort of 2.5 years, getting to be three years. can you believe it? time flies. i think pakistan could have done a lot but they chose not to because they did not respect u.s. leadership. i will let you know that quickly. i am going to know soon. it is not going to be a long-term thing. i figure things out very quickly. so the question -- probably the best question that you have asked for a long time. mueller, she's been asking this mueller thing for two years. i have to focus on that. i think pakistan is going to do a lot. i really do. i think pakistan is going to make a big difference. i think pakistan will save millions of lives in afghanistan. i really believe they can, they have a power that other nations don't have with respect to afghanistan. i will say as of this moment, they're working very hard. >> protesters in hong kong and ongoing protests by gangs and hong kong chinese government is sort of looking around. have you seen that footage? >> well, i ha

pakistan relations in person after clashing on twitter pakistani prime minister imran khan has held his 1st one on one talks in washington with his us while online sparring partner u.s. president donald trump the afghan conflict responsible for straining those ties was a key focus of talks trump hopes card can help broker a peace deal between the taliban and the afghan government and pave the way to ending nearly 18 years of u.s. military involvement in afghanistan. i have plans on afghanistan that if i wanted to win the war afghanistan would be wiped off the face of the earth it would be god it would be over in literally in 10 days and i don't want to do that i don't want to go that route so we're working with pakistan and others to extricate ourselves nor do we want to be a policeman because basically we're policemen right now and we're not supposed to be policemen we've been there through we've been there for 90 years in afghanistan khan who has called for mutually beneficial ties with the us since he won pakistan's general election last year sounded optimistic. so there is only one

are you from pakistan? i want a couple of pakistani reports, i like them much bett better. >> what do you think? and you have so much now, one of those things -- i think pakistan could do tremendous amounts against, with respect to afghanistan. and i don't blame them. who knows. it doesn't matter, we have a new leader, and we have a new leader here. sort of knew, up to and a half years. getting to be three years. you will find a time flies. i think pakistan could have done a lot, and i we chose not to. and i will let you know that very quickly. i mean i will know soon, it's not going to be a long-term thing. i figured things out very quickly so the question -- that's probably the best question you've asked in a long time. you are always asking mueller, mueller, for three years. i have to focus on that. i think pakistan is going to do a lot. i really do. i think pakistan will make a big difference. i think pakistan will save millions of lives in afghanistan because i really believe they have a power that oth

this is a crucible in which the relationship was forged pakistan a vital ally in the u.s. campaign against the soviet invaders in afghanistan a partner in a war that eventually led to the collapse of the soviet union. decades later though a defining moment president barack obama ordered a special forces operation in which bin laden was killed an action that took place without the knowledge of the pakistan government so help me god but in the eyes of obama's successor donald trump it was another example of pakistan's inability or reluctance to crack down on terror groups in 2018 in his 1st tweet of the new year the president went after islamabad the united states is brutally given pakistan more than $33000000000.00 in aid over the last 15 years they have given us nothing but lies and deceit. into them but the same year another attack we no longer pay pakistan the billions because they would take our money and do nothing for us president trump tweeted but large and being a prime example afghanistan being another. trumps combination provoked pakistan's newly elected prime min

and pakistan as well. the former u.s. ambassador to that nation is here exclusively to tell us if peace and prosperity are really at hand. >>> plus the federal reserve now in blackout mode ahead of its huge rate decision next week. as wall street hopes for a big 50 basis point chop, is that what's really going to happen july 31st at the announcement? investors hang on that guy's word. mohammed el-erian of allianz is here on what should happen and what will happen. they could be two different things. >>> as we all wait on what could be the most important federal reserve meeting in a decade, investors also have to focus on what is one of the busiest earnings weeks this quarter. with a third of the dow jones industrials names coming in at 27% of the s&p 500 set to report, it's touch and go for the dow jones. we were up about 20 points, now s&p better by 10, we've got the nasdaq up 60. plus with millions of followers, he made more than $15 million last year with his wild personality-driven youtube video. podcasts and merch, m

had no option but to once again seek pakistan's assistance last year pakistani diplomats agreed to set up direct talks between the taliban and the u.s. a move gratefully acknowledged by one of president trump's most valuable foreign policy advisers and i'm going to urge him. to meet with the prime minister as soon as practical i think they will hit it off similar personalities in recent days pakistan authorities have finally arrested one of the us his most wanted men of his saeed was accused of masterminding the 2008 terrorist attacks in mumbai since then living openly in pakistan despite a u.s. bomb team on his head your wrist intended to set a cordial term for the contra meeting and it was will be welcomed by the president imran khan's meeting with the president does not come without political risk his party has the narrowest of majorities in pakistan's parliament and does not control the senate a resumption of u.s. assistance would help shore up his government but to come away empty handed would have the opposite effect mike hanna al-jazeera washington. a suicide bomber has killed a

well it's very significant indeed relations between pakistan and the u.s. have been the exceedingly low in recent years particularly since president trump took office he engaged in a vitriolic twitter attack on pakistan and on its prime minister imran khan who responded in kind but in recent months there has been a shift in the relationship it would appear pakistan has been very important in brokering talks between u.s. officials and the taliban a crucial chief meant if there are going to be able to reduce u.s. troop numbers within afghanistan also just this week pakistan ordered the arrest of a man of his cia who the u.s. had been searching for for years they had a bounty on his head he had been living openly in pakistan in islamabad or in the show or region about he was arrested in recent days this greeted by president trump so the tone has been set perhaps for a more a mythical meeting what's at stake is some $8000000000.00 annually in u.s. aid to pakistan which president trump has suspended so what else are they likely to be talking about then mike when

there are 2 places and ballister there are traditional rivals it's almost like the cricket match of pakistan and india and while apollo is known as the sport of kings this version of the game is freestyle mountain pole are no umpires he rules and played on the highest poller ground in the world at $3700.00 metres above sea level but. it's very difficult to play at such high altitude not only for me but also for our horses but our love for polar sports makes us stronger to withhold such kind of pressure. in recent years scenes like this made her wrist reluctant to visit the chandeleur valley police seemingly ill equipped to deal with the security situation however the historical feud between the northern tribes of gil get and to throw out is not going far into the polish failed what's more of the $31000000.00 has been pledged to the area to encourage more foreign and local visitors more to get out that it's time for this area where polo is played is very scenic and beautiful and we want everyone to come here and enjoy we're with pakistan loneliest pakistan if the numbers at this year's festiv

and pakistan. i would say that. is that improving definitely but to say that it is a start of a new year would be i think a little premature at this moment much depends on how it deals with washington's dumond's regarding pieces of congress on the issue of doubt it is and. not just in afghanistan but also in kashmir pakistan's economy is it is in a mess right now and islamabad needs the financial assistance so it is likely that pakistan. would pay heed to us to mines. ok now during that meeting our president trying to use a very dramatic rhetoric claiming that the u.s. could wipe afghanistan off the face of the earth and 10 days of the. reaction to those statements i think it is the drums way of saying that do you cooperate with those otherwise we have a military option so it was a match just to han and also to other players in the region. he has been using using discounted and stick dollars you know gone it's gone so i don't think i've begun a toadies would like this statement it was quite irresponsible to be hones

thank you turning now to pakistan where a high profile. was shot dead in karachi police say he was killed in a drive by shooting and that the motive was still. this follows a series of incidents targeting journalists and muzzling of press freedom and by just just over 3 weeks ago blogger and anti military activist muhammad was stabbed to death in islamabad he was 22 years old last week geo t.v. abruptly cut an interview made broadcast between me the media and former president asif ali zardari he's under investigation for money laundering and his pakistan people's party has a tense relationship with the military and on tuesday night 3 pakistani t.v. news channels were suspended after broadcasting a news conference by opposition leader miriam she's the daughter of former prime minister novellas sharif who's now in jail on corruption charges and in the past twice ousted by the military so what's going on for more you have with us jilani from asia. will check with you in a bit but 1st i'd just like to bring up what reporters without borders sa
