u.s. that operations in afghanistan after the revelations committing the killing of innocent citizens. has been hearing from soldiers involved in the last major exposing which struck at civilians not insurgents. let me know when something that any military tries to keep under wraps civilians killed during an operation this april the pentagon saw one of the skeletons walk out of the closet is secretly didio of american soldiers opening which looks like indiscriminate fire in a baghdad suburb three years ago more than a dozen people were recruited dan including to reuters news staff also two children were wounded the incident was investigated in the us military concluded that the actions of the soldiers were in accordance with the law of armed conflict and its own rules of engagement so while the u.s. military is ok with causing some corporal damage it's when civilians die in the

course of action a number of soldiers who were involved in those killings now speak out and say this shouldn't be a norm of warfare you can see in a decent mcu or a soldier with the unit that's shown in the video said it hadn't been a one time experience he went as far as to say soldiers in his unit were ordered to kill civilians in certain circumstances mccord said the message they got from their commander was if someone in your line gets hit with an improvised explosive device three sixty rotational fire you kill everyone on the street. josh the brewers served in the same unit as ethan mccord he refused to talk about the order because it is he said the threats and warnings that he'd received from his former army fellows with the secret video of how the captive killings seemed nothing unusual to him from my experiences what was shown in that video was no uncommon and

happened on a fairly regular basis just as the training they'd gone through did not angry much sensitivity either he remembers one of the songs soldiers were made to sing one of the more intense on going is as i went down to the market where all the children were all warm and sharp or i was shouting and i began to chop josh and a group of other former soldiers are now touring the us and telling people of their experiences and their regret for me it was when i was finally able to kind of put myself in the shoes of of other people. really start to imagine how i feel people were doing to me when i was the. basis of storming into people's homes sometimes. in children's

faces. some blame the type of war the us was finding for the psychological trauma so many american soldiers are now going through it was a very disorienting and destabilizing condition of warfare for most american soldiers to try to separate the benign populace from the insurgents who wanted to kill them that were absolutely indistinguishable from regular civilians. seven roger. eason recording josh stieber signed a letter of apology to the mother of the children hurt during the operation and pledged to change from the inside out. our team washington d.c. . america's military chiefs are bracing themselves for more to come the wiki leaks web site is promising that further revelations on the way the online it was was now reports doing with american conduct in iraq it's thought they could expose similar

findings to the thousands of documents already posted online they include details of service in casualties at the hands of u.s. and allied troops as well as concerns that the starting intelligence helps the taliban insurgency the white house described the release as a breach of. threats to american military personnel but some analysts are convinced that the real danger to troops lies within. well the obama administration's pronouncement is like an alice in wonderland turning reality upside down they are the ones who are putting american soldiers and afghans lives at risk and in fact taking those lives every day in a war that they know can't be won and yet when wiki leaks and. people who are whistleblowers tell the truth then this sort of explanation from the white house is that these people who are telling the truth exposing the lies are the ones putting the people's lives in danger i mean that is so ludicrous such nonsense but because

of the tepid character of the the propaganda nature of the us corporate media that lying will be promulgated time and time again today and tomorrow and in the coming days but i don't think the american people will believe that they want to know the truth. robert fisk middle east correspondent for the british newspaper the independent says stories like this show the power of the web it's a harsh lesson for traditional journalists. we've got all these expensive newspapers with huge investigative staffs watching the new york times in london in france and yet we didn't get this story it was the internet that got it this is the most important proof so far that in many ways newspaper journalism is retreating and going along with authority please can i be embedded i mean i'm not a baby but please can i be embedded can i get with the tenth mountain division can be with the british army and these reporters are not getting the story and these people this week leaks organization which i have some serious concerns they've

managed to do it on a mass spoke scale we've never seen recently in modern newspaper journalism or television journalism this i think is one of the lessons for us journalists. but a few minutes the authorities in russia are almost literally which. the law is aimed at as in articles printed in magazines like this one which is called or a goal and it is literally chock full of people who claim that they can feel or tell the future using the use of mystical ability. portal and how russia is predicting the end of the line for. muscovites for the west. to paint else morg forest fire said the planet of smoke across the capital. the global recession is forcing charities in latvia to step in and provide basic provisions

for the struggling population is a far cry from the initial optimism that gripped the country when it joined the european union six years ago. tom bottom reports modern day that there is no place of raging unemployment and international handouts. diana gives out food to people in need for months she's made sure families can get a square meal but this isn't a developing country it's the modern economy of latvia and recently joined the. when we brought the first food bags to those families many parents swept there could have never foreseen a crisis of this magnitude they had jobs they were well to do and respected and all of a sudden they find themselves in a situation where they have to plead for help to feed their children latvia speculated aggressively in international markets leaving the so-called baltic tiger vulnerable on the crisis hit those with loans and mortgages are suddenly seriously

short of money. because if brussels sneezed we last year already had a bad case of angina. a very small and very open economy felt the world's problems more painfully than the others and we were experiencing our own mistakes much more painfully two. years unemployment soared to over twenty percent middle class families with houses and cars couldn't afford to put food on the table and almost eight percent of the population registered below the poverty line this few years ago we could never imagine if giving food to people in this country would ever be needed the situation showed that it is needed so we decided to start it the food plan relies on donations of money and food to supplement the diets of hard up families. charity raise half a million dollars in two thousand and nine money vitally needed if the government is failing to support those years in mars because that it all came too soon and created a sort of traffic jam the social services were not prepared for an influx of people

who needed aid or at one point unable to rely on their leaders not going to dip into their own pockets and cupboards to help each other out and it's not always the rich who give the most we read newspaper the donors are often not the richest sort of people more often than not we notice their women with children and quite often it's children who say let's leave some charity money here in this food but we've got tinned pork and fish we've got some sugar got condensed milk we've got flour we've got stuck cubes paster cooking oil and much more but it's this food that shows how deep the financial crisis has cut in love via until the families affected get more work this food will only be a temporary comfort not a cure tom barton r.t. reka that view. max kaiser gets worked up over america's growing unemployment problems. all their jobs overseas.

jobs left therefore they have no savings no capital again or capitalism without capital that's why it's kind of the bracing and degrading and. fascists pop consumer state. people have been fascinated by fortune tellers for centuries unfortunately there are also plenty of self-styled psychics ready to turn people's curiosity into cash but russian authorities what the future holds a clampdown on fakes is from thomas reports. view lure of the unknown and the showcasing of psychic abilities have become big business in russia while simple entertainment for some others turned to these self-proclaimed

mystics for healing and the promise of answers to the problems of everyday life. of national seem you see this years ago trouble came to our family through my son was lured into a relationship by a woman who use some witchcraft as a mother i couldn't help seeing how she was impaired and was getting worse but she was mind. changed completely. she put her trust in a psychic who claimed to have a special insight into the situation but as time passed it became clear that all the psychic was after was more of lewis's money but as a third desire to do good there is a bright feed her six hundred thousand rubles a year for three years that's not because we aren't rich but for the sake of your child sound you do anything that your possessions take anything experts say the nature of this industry. provides a prime opportunity for people to take advantage of those desperate for a belief system. in some ways i say manic things in the worst meaning of this word

are all too close to a hoax but people want to keep believing so they trust them and when they finally turn for help to real doctors they find out it's too late too hard and that a patient is in need of critical measures now there is a movement in the state duma to protect people like you from being conned mausam give them we predicting a divertissement for services which are not backed by professional commercial experience we believe these people practice tax evasion and swindling moreover their deceiving potential consumers with these occult services us the law is aimed at ads and articles printed in magazines like this one which is called oracle and it is only really chock full of people who claim that they can heal or tell the future using it viz of mystical abilities but those who are actually in the business say that this bad what effect them really at all. night see that today the internet brings the most clients into this business rather than printers resources

or t.v. the only ad that really works is the green line you help someone and they in turn bring their family and friends and while it may seem counter intuitive some who claim to have such powers say they provide a valuable service and that a ban on advertising could actually be helpful. to help people in their family relationships and i do fortune telling depending on their needs most psychics do the same thing over those who don't know what they're doing and trying to get an attorney to you through and sent other means i believe there should be a set of documents to prove their ability is a point that the duma is trying to push through as well by them for the store they could get a diploma or a medical certificate undergo a medical commission if this could be treated of russia is to use their particular diplomas which means each healer can work only in that region of the. in the same way they can be deployed to claim treatment just like any other. or in other words
