twenty four hours a day you're watching our carriage alston one of the biggest leaks in u.s. military history has experienced several cover ups over the war in afghanistan including the deaths of hundreds of civilians the whistle blowing web site wiki leaks handed over ninety thousand classified documents to british and american newspapers they also include information on this about attacks as well as nato pakistan and iran are fueling the insurgency the white house says the pentagon files and field reports were no surprise they threaten national security let's get more insight on this montes cross don't speak of the bell and. you're going to have both here in the studio thank you very much to get it to you first what are the implications of this leak the u.s. troops actually in the afghanistan now well for the troops there is nothing dangerous because there is no problem in iran now as this indicates that there is this information was double for more than two weeks there is no and it shows that the u.s.

troops and servicemen will be put in harm's way that's the most important thing but whatever have been divulged will not jeopardize their integrity of the personal security and operational integrity of the resources on the ground because of this operational temper situation change so fast within twenty four hours whatever you got classified declassified by the reality on the ground ok repeatedly u.s. says that there's a threat to national security what is rubbish oh it says is that how culpable mainstream media has been covering these wars got is what i say most of this information you could have found out yourself if you just tried a little bit talk to witnesses the internet exist oh my goodness these stories are out there it's just the government confirming to us that we've been lied about this war and we should listen to people on the ground so i'm not surprised by this but it shows the mainstream media has been reckless in covering these wars and you know why the context. it also says or some of these leaked documents suggest that

there's pakistani support for the taliban to grow which isn't true but you know it's we've got a you just watch crossed on crossfire and we know about you're going to tell us what you think well that was one of the main challenges during the antislavery jihad what the pakistani involvement pakistani has been stopped contracted their intelligence services by side by the cia and that's the whole point the whole trouble in afghanistan regarding the insurgency anti soviet insurgency anti american whatever and anybody insurgency in afghanistan has been perpetrated directed and funded by the united states central intelligence agency their their partners. they're just in cahoots thirty years ago and the same thing which really . for two really strikes me the good bit in here my chair who used to kill soviet soldiers in afghanistan keeps killing happily american and french for french troops

in afghanistan while there. i was i invited him to need to integrate into afghan society ok ok so no surprise no surprise it's time to get out it's time for the neighborhood to mend itself this was an abject failure the u.s. should get out now no more review in december this is the review the review is it's a disaster how do you get to stand that being the case what is the endgame for america and i mean the aim is there's no more coalition of the willing leave let the neighborhood take care of itself it will be very very messy but that's the only way that afghanistan can start mending itself and we'll see who has germany or the pakistanis the iranians who else will not be the united states and its allies this is a this is confirmation of the worst military defeat in american history so suck it up peter says leave but even. politically it's understandable from the professional military perspective for us. directive bomb i would love to leave but it's just

impossible for political reasons and for militarily because the reason they're more one hundred more than what it's more than the soviet army in afghanistan plus the same amount of private. private contractors we're talking about three hundred u.s. personnel uniform and non-uniform you can't just wipe them out from afghanistan and another thing is a bomb a problem is that this is during his election campaign this is a war of necessity if you call the draft where's the necessity if you want to get americans out of afghanistan re-introduced a draft and they believe themselves the thing is for more than nine years and all this data could confuse the most important thing until the united states will tickle the hideouts of the terrorist network you know afghanistan from where purported purportedly orchestrated nine eleven it took until then all this is just monkey business and spinning the wheels in afghanistan ok the long longer than nine

years you mentioned the longest military campaign in u.s. history and you know i mean you've got karzai there i mean i guess he's going to be the last guy in the helicopter gene ok i mean that's it i mean it's an game here unfortunately i think the republicans are good at this love this because we're going to paint obama all over this because it with the war will end as a failure under his watch and this is what the republicans want they know that they know this war is a failure they want to fail under obama so they have a chance in two thousand and twelve that's one of the lessons of today ok we have to leave those lessons there for the people who fell and they're going to who should thank you both very much indeed for joining us today. well still ahead this hour the conference to convince the u.n. that iran sanctions will miss their target countries lining up to oppose restrictions on getting together the stuff we get insight from a global affairs analyst. despite threats of a nuclear response from north korea joint naval drills between the u.s. and south korea is underway. the region's peninsula the exercise involving about

eight thousand troops from last until wednesday or tensions have been running high after an international commission blamed the north for the sinking of a south korean ship back in march when yang denies any involvement that america currently has twenty eight thousand troops based in south korea and fifty thousand more in japan we need to throw off the lecture on korean studies at sydney university in washington's actions are provoking. north korea never threaten us first north korea is a small distant you for impoverished struggling pariah state so believe that for north korea simply reacts or sometimes reacts to the threats which comes from outside if united states decides to go execute an invasion or regime change i would be surprised if you're at some stage decided to use nuclear capability nuclear deterrence against whatever enemy is closest to solve gru is

going to be the first victim of the. another standoff with a new clear pretext between israel and the run announced time veteran british journalist on hot explains why tehran would never strike first. just supposing iran had one two three dozen nuclear bombs do you think he would be stupid enough to launch a first nuclear strike on his roof course he would because the whole of the wrong would be devastated the real reason why israel is paying up the iranian threat is to deflect political and other attention away from what it is doing in the occupied territories but the only real problem. is if you ron did possess nuclear weapons it would greatly limit israel's ability to go on imposing its will on the entire

region. the unprecedented heatwave hitting russia continues to rage would you lie already the hottest month on record moscow is also suffering from smaug and the smell of peat bogs burning has been found in some outlying areas of the capital for fosters attacking the blazes which are being caused by the severe drought. for martys sarah first in the baking core of the central sarah how are things in the capital this morning can you smell the burning. well it's not any extremely hot but the capitals waking up this morning. it's been like. i'm not sure how much of it you can see but it's like a very. over the kremlin and a by the river head and you can smell it in the end of this is pulled by the force continuing to the ground at places that will. ever happen. and now this is happening outside in the most gave each new leaf.

happening the last couple of days the event that is really. trying to get the money to. continue to. continue. going on in the capital and of course no sign of the heat wave ending any time. it's been a month of unforgiving heat in moscow where some people are making the most of course but what the consequence is this having on people's health and the environment. we have people struggling to deal with. this week continued around. breaking records record breaking temperatures we've seen a lot of consequences because of. thousand people that have drowned in the beginning of july beginning of.

the environment here. in about twenty three. states. because of the. temperatures that continue not not in about a week's time they will. continue very best people in the capital and. they way. there are some unprecedented situation in my mentality sarah ferguson fourteen from thank you. well always interested in your opinions on the stories we're covering the want to watch you don't come have your say on today where asking how you keep cool in scorching temperatures so voters fifty one percent of people walking around with a twenty nine percent provoke a twofer going to turn only. thirteen percent talking up ice cubes and the rest claim to be. in the fridge to know my hope your opinion heatwaves but that's

only if you don't call them in the top stories section. now ten years ago saw a major turning point for the international space station russian life support systems were installed which meant that crew members could spend more time in orbit walking a sea change in experiments which could be carried out what is sean thomas reports . it circles the globe about three hundred fifty kilometers from the earth's surface it is the largest construction in space it is a marvel of modern engineering which is approaching a crucial milestone. for the i.s.a.'s is a major contemporary space projects and it has a huge mass of around three hundred eighty tons it involves a big number of program participants including the united states canada european countries belonging to the european space agency and japan and the station is being used as a big scientific laboratory for though it is a prime example of international cooperation now the roots of the station stem from the apollo soyuz program thirty five years ago when two rival space programs of the

u.s. and soviet union integrated technology for the first time twenty years later russia and the u.s. expanded on that shared experience with the goal of creating a permanent space presence. we've done a lot with in the mir shuttle program which was the ancestor of the international space station we work hard to write similar news operation of both the orbital street in preparation for the launch remember those years the most interesting period of strenuous work which finally did to this great result during the link up there were no hiccups ensure everything went smoothly. this is the mark up of the capsule which is where astronauts and cosmonauts come to train at star city who are traveling to the international space station and it is in here that you get a sense of the significance of this capsule in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight the zarya and the unity capsules worldwatch but it wasn't until ten years ago

when there's a very capsule was a. attached that the space station became livable no what she did say was over the nation of sorts for the rest of the station and the module had failed then other systems work would be pointless since the module consisted largely of life support systems the module made it possible for the crew to stay in both the station will be impossible to build the station and the pace it was constructed that without the special part of the infrastructure was now in place it was up to the station's first crew to get everything in motion. two weeks were critical since a lot of the systems were being activated for the first time of some russian system segments were merged with us systems of those machines had never seen each other in earth and that was the first time they would work together to build it was huge and that was why they were had been composed of experienced cosmonauts. ten years on the i r s s is approaching the record for a structure being continuously inhabited in space and on

a currently held by russia's mir project and while it was originally only supposed to be in service until two thousand and fifteen it looks like a bright future for the international space station which i think a part of us or another fry assessment has decided to prolong the station's use until twenty twenty and possibly even longer if the technical state of the station is good for the program ensuring a continued international presence in space for many more years to come john thomas r.t. moscow. let's check on some other stories dominating the world's headlines right now a former commercial prison chief has been found guilty of crimes against humanity. for its was reached by un backed war crimes tribunal the defendant. was sentenced to thirty five years in prison the court later reduced it to nineteen years taking into account time he'd already spent in detention he admitted to overseeing the deaths of up to fifteen thousand prisoners as many as two million people died under

the brutal regime of the communist party. here in the seventies. the german chancellor has demanded an investigation into the deadly stampede that in love parade dance music festival in germany nineteen were killed and three hundred forty injured as vast numbers of party goers packed into the crowd which is the only way in or out of the festival the organizers of the parade have already announced that you went there he held it in. now it's hard to imagine what goes through the mind of a mother who feels she has to abandon her baby in eastern europe one solution is a secure container for unwanted infants to be left alone in a sling for doctors to then find. reports from prague where the baby boxes dividing medics and child care experts. all around the czech republic at first sight they're just nondescript metal doors on the sides of hospitals and

government buildings but they've already helped to save dozens of lives this is a baby box ever mother wanted to leave her child all she'd have to do would be to pull on the handle and put the child inside now it wasn't just the metal container an infant would be able to survive for several hours but usually their rescued would end several minutes by those on the other side the first one was placed in this private hospital it's still the most popular with nearly fifteen children left in five years. maybe books as soon as the babies placed inside the door locks on the outside and then the alarm is settled i remember running to the books for the first time to see the baby inside and showing it to the doctor to be examined like a special i think it is an amazing invention. the baby books and learned is not a doctor but a writer and horse breeder but his idea was not immediately well received with

protests from some clergyman and even doctors. though the. baby books is high tech with three hundred twenty parts special places to leave unwanted children exist even in ancient times. but the government was wary of the baby books and didn't provide funding is if i was encouraging people to get rid of their children i know the perception has changed. but it is love and cristina have dated for two years and run a hostel in prague although they can have children of their own also like to adopt a baby box child. come from a big family of four brothers and three for the present. so. they do not know where or when but sure enough it was a matter of time before someone don't want the child will become a welcome addition to their family. prague now a nuclear swap deal with iran proposed by turkey and brazil is set to come under

scrutiny in vienna tehran is expected to send a letter to the u.n. nuclear watchdog on true questions over the proposal this custis i'm joined by world affairs expert from the institute of well economy international affairs in moscow we're here in the studio here thanks for joining us now why have turkey and brazil taken such an interesting in solving it like reigning nuclear situation. have started to play a greater all international politics and actually it's taken a more independent policy that it used to do and actually turkey is very much interested in the securing in securing the region also like to say that these talks are very important as these are the first thoughts since. the deal brokered by turkey and brazil in may and actually i think we're going to see

the talk at talks as of march to all four and a contributor to the solution of the problem that's my opinion you mentioned turkey there what exactly can they offer what can they bring to the table. actually the turkish foreign minister has brought a few very interesting ideas to the table and the basic idea i still think is to you iranians big to the negotiation table and one of the ideas is one of the. vice one of the piece of advice that turkish foreign minister give transition is to give as positive reply as it is possible to the five plus one group and then proceed with negotiating the technical details are i actually i've been studying the problem for over a decade and a half and i have seen the closer neighbors closer around neighbors such as turkey and russia have always shown more prudent and realistic approach towards the issues you mention russia they are to present to get

a decent criticism of iran's nuclear program moscow had been given some criticism about this do you agree with that kind of criticism. actually i have heard many of our foreign politics have criticized russia for inconsistent policy towards iran but i disagree with their russian policy has been really consistent and of course russia has to fall all international law and it does russia follows its own national interest and also russia is a major poll that has many partners and russia has to take into account all their interests are right as you know these are all time iranians are starting to react to share which was billed by russian engineers so during the period when there was no suspicion that room is going to produce nuclear weapon russia. it was a rare and helped to develop the peace nuclear program but are now on the fourth round of sanctions sanctions un sanctions have been imposed on iran russia has

canceled its deal delivering aircraft as three hundred and a jew to the international law also russia has a lot of interest in the region and russia is interested in peaceful middle east for instance russia is working with israel and brokering multibillion deals delivering russian and israeli were israeli weapon to india also many arab conscious such as syria arabia are now showing great interest in russian weapons as considered to be one of the best in the world saw russia has put it here to take into account interest of many policy so would be and other arab states. iran so russian policy has been very consistent and russia follows international law and national interest and of course common sense ok we got rid of i thank you very much for your thoughts on that subject thank you. well i share that there was folly and
