PM Modi, Imran Khan to clash at UNGA
https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/india-pm-modi-pakistan-imran-khan-clash-unga-1603710-2019-09-27
Both PM Modi and Imran Khan are scheduled to address the 74th UNGA session on Friday.
Imran Khan is expected to deliver his speech shortly after PM Modi
India has asserted that the Kashmir issue is its "internal matter", while Pakistan has repeatedly tried "internationalising" the matter after India abrogated Article 370.
On the sidelines of the UNGA session, both PM Modi and Imran Khan met US President Donald Trump.
PM Modi meets Donald Trump
During his bilateral meet with PM Modi on Tuesday, US President Donald Trump expressed faith in PM Modi saying that he will take care of radical Islamic terrorism originating from Pakistan.
On being asked 'how do you see the statement coming from Pakistani PM admitting that the Pakistani ISI trained Al Qaeda?', Donald Trump said, "..The Prime Minister (PM Modi) will take care of it."
Donald Trump also said that US will have a trade deal with India in the near future.
"I think very soon we'll have a trade deal. We'll have the larger deal down the road a little bit, but we will have a trade deal very soon," Donald Trump said.
Imran Khan meets Donald Trump
At the bilateral meeting, Imran Khan once again appealed to Donald Trump seeking help in Pakistan's troubles with India, Afghanistan and Iran.
To this, Trump cracked a joke and said, "He lives in a very friendly neighbourhood."
Moreover, for the second time, Donald Trump offered to mediate between Pakistan and India over the Kashmir issue. He said that he was ready to mediate between Pakistan and India on the Kashmir issue if both sides agree and described himself as "an extremely good arbitrator".[/quote]

“We will work together and assist the efforts to ensure that this takes place as soon as possible,” Kabulov said. He confirmed that he had met with US special representative for Afghanistan Zalmay Khalilzad on the sidelines of the 74th session of the UN General Assembly.
US President Donald Trump abruptly canceled talks with the Taliban that were previously planned for September 8.
(US should be grateful that Moscow doesn't just simply run weapons into Afg like CIA did)

This is really Tahrir-square. On the left side is the Egyptian Museum in the back of the person who filmed this is the Nile. The street is strangely empty. Normally you cannot cross, because of the traffic.

Therefore, much drink may be said to be an equivocator with lechery. It makes him, and it mars him; it sets him on, and it takes him off; it persuades him, and disheartens him; makes him stand to and not stand to; in conclusion, equivocates him in a sleep, and, giving him the lie, leaves him.
