Thousands of people protested against the Carmichael coal mine project in various areas of Australia on Saturday in Adani's Australia $ 16.5 billion.

Media reports have said that thousands of people landed on the streets in Sidney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Northern Queensland, Gold Coast and Port Douglas, and they took out rallies.

About 2,000 people attended the protest in Sydney. Protestors launched the #stopadani campaign.

Sydney's # StopAdani agitator Issac Astil said that the construction of this mine is an international issue. When our environment is falling, in that time it is the largest coal mine in the Southern Hemisphere. That is why people are coming forward against it in Australia and around the world. Thousands of people are demanding that Adani should not be allowed to come.

It has been said in the news that about 2,000 people in Melbourne also came to the streets against this project.

On these planks was written 'coal = carbon dioxide (coal = CO2)' and 'protect our future' on plates.

Chief Executive of Australian Conservation Foundation Kelly O Shansi expressed the hope that it would have been a strong message to all that the taxpayers do not want the project to be subsidized by their money.

US Forces in Afghanistan are Helping IS: Hamid Karzai

Former Afghan President Hamid Karzai has said that under the supervision of US military and intelligence agencies, terrorist organizations, Islamic State (IS) have emerged in their country during the last three-four years.

In an interview with 'Russia Today' in London, Karzai said that he suspects that American bases in Afghanistan are used to help IS.

He said, "I have met the daily news from the Afghan people to supplying to IS in various parts of Afghanistan by US military helicopters."

Karzai said that despite spending billions of dollars from 9/11 to the present, extremism in Afghanistan has raised the head.

He said that the Afghan people ask if the US came to defeat terrorism in Afghanistan, so why is he so much today?

Karzai said, "We do not want our country to be bombarded with huge, destructive weapons. we want peace.''

He said that the use of the MOAB (Father of the Bombs) by the American forces was a sign of North Korea's sense of American power, but it was a cruelty on the Afghan people. On April 13 this year, the US dropped its largest non-nuclear bomb on a tunnel complex used by IS in eastern Afghanistan. This type of weapon was used for the first time in Afghanistan.

He said, "In particular, military action by foreign forces will not bring peace. The Afghan need to formulate a consensus to reach out to all the people, including the Taliban, to seek an agreement."

The former President said that there is a need to become a cooperative partner in China, Russia, Pakistan including India, to bring peace to the United States.

In relation to Pakistan, Karzai said that he would have to live together with Pakistan.

He said that there are two strong contradictions in his relationship with Pakistan, "When we became refugees, the Pakistani people welcomed us. But they did a dangerous job of supporting Mujahideen (against Soviet), which weakened our society."

Karzai said that he thinks that America will use Pakistan for its inhuman purpose in the new American policy of the region against its neighboring country.

He said that he wants to join hands with Pakistan so that we can avoid this deep plot.

UN Chief Expressed Concern over Recruitment of Children by Maoists and Separatists

The United Nations chief has expressed concern over the recruitment of children by the separatists and the Maoists and said that they are constantly affected by the incidents of violence between armed groups and the government, especially in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Jammu and Kashmir regions.

In his annual report on 'Children in Armed Conflict', General Secretary Antonio Gutarez has said that the United Nations is continuously receiving news of the use and placement of children by armed groups, including Naxal groups, especially in Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand.

According to government information, at least 30 schools have been burnt and partially damaged by armed groups in Jammu and Kashmir.

It has been said in the report that along with this government report also affirms that in these areas four schools have been used for military for several weeks.

According to reports, armed groups frighten parents by hijacking them to appoint children, who then receive military training and serve in children's wards as messengers, informants and guards.

He cited the restrictions on inspection and reporting that the UN is unable to prove these reports on the use and appointment of children by armed groups.

The United Nations has also expressed concern over the appointment and use of children for suicide attacks by armed groups. This includes the children of the madrasa.

He appealed to all parties in the struggling areas to improve the security of children from their responsibilities on the basis of the proposals related to international humanitarian and human rights laws and the Security Council in collaboration with the United Nations.

US-Pakistan Relations are in Serious Trouble: US Think Tank

A US chief think tank United Institute of Peace expert said that the US-Pakistan relations are in serious trouble and the distrust between the two countries has gone deeper.

A day before that, the Foreign Minister of Pakistan has ended his three-day US tour. Mohamed Yusuf, a specialist in Congress-funded United States Think Tank United Institute of Peace, said that Islamabad and Washington look at each other's motives with a very suspicious attitude.

Yusuf told PTI on Friday, "I think this relationship is in serious trouble."

His remarks came after Pakistani Foreign Minister Khwaja Asif's three-day Washington tour ended on Friday. During his visit, Asif met US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and American National Security Advisor H. R. McMaster.

When Asif was asked what he was returning from his journey, he said, "It will not be extraordinary." There was a very good meeting with the Foreign Minister. I was a little cautious in meeting with McMaster, but he was good. It was not bad. I think we need to maintain this attitude of contact as a discussion and exchange of ideas."

Yusuf, a specialist in US-Pakistan relations, said that the real issue here is unbelief. He said, "This distrust is so deep that it will be extremely difficult for both parties to find out the way in which they can maintain the necessary trust on each other.

They can believe that whatever they do, they will be serious. The situation of the two parties is such that they have a very suspicious view of the other side's motives.''

Yusuf said that no one should expect any major changes in this soon.

It is notable that US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis had said just a few days ago that if Pakistan does not change its way and continues to support terrorist groups, then President Donald Trump is ready to take every necessary step against him.

Mattis warned Pakistan that if he does not take action against the safe haven of terrorists on his land, then he can be isolated diplomatically at the global level and can be stripped of non-NATO partner status.

The most important question is that who gives weapons to the terrorists?
