limps into the way it really is on the battlefield now made more clear by the release of more than ninety thousand secret documents on wiki leaks dot org. they paint a portrait of an afghanistan aided by pakistan which is supposed to be helping the u.s. government they also demonstrate a point u.s. senator john kerry sums up though also calling the leaks unacceptable and illegal that after nearly nine years of war more than a thousand american casualties and billions of u.s. taxpayer dollars. the taliban. appear to be strong as they have a stronger enemy means experts on policy in the middle east are calling for a stronger strategy asking for more time i think the first time we ought to do is to stop is to stop talking about twenty eleven and start talking about twenty four tane and more resources the second they want it is a big tactical hit on the taliban dr david kilcullen

a counterinsurgency expert says in other words you have to do a lot of damage on the taliban before they'll be willing to talk a strategy that may sound familiar more money more troops and more time and if you do well there's no guarantee anything will change is it possible that this war is just unwinnable it's certainly possible the thing is we want to know until we get to the point where we begin to pull out and we see if the afghan government is sustainable it looks rather that significantly break from the one president obama announced in december and the lawmakers say they are listening many do not like their hero now what point do we say that we camps we can't make this work u.s. senator ted kaufman not accepting the familiar strategy i'm not for spending one more dollar and one more american life until we have a conviction that we can get governance that's good enough this is not about resurrecting afghanistan with all due respect i care about afghanistan but the

standard is not there will be something better we just when the day we decide that we don't have carmen's that is good enough we should leave that day a pushback while others work to push ahead a tug of war within a real war with no end in sight christine for sound r t. and in the us the consequences of nine eleven and america's subsequent wars have led some to worry that innocent muslims going about their lives are being targeted or takes a look. has the religion of islam turned into a source of fear in the us well the american media has been doing a heck of a job if you will in phobias to me that you are not. working with our enemies have had enough of some of bin laden became the poster boy for all muslims or

a billion muslims in the world as one guy symbolized all those all muslims for most americans because americans are so politically and educated unaware of what's going on in the rest of the world our t.v. doesn't report it our schools don't teach about it a latest estimate from the council of american islamic relations says there are seven million muslims currently living in the u.s. there are no exact numbers available however the american census bureau does not collect data on religious identification but this identifying yourself with a religion or rather standing behind it is exactly what seems to have been spreading paranoia across the united states islamophobia as a term became commonly used in the u.s. only after the attacks of september eleventh that racism is alive and kicking with its main focus now on muslims i think after nine eleven is when the big shift happened because. nine eleven was largely about demonizing muslims

and the recurring images that we get every couple of months of a new car. or underwear or. the impression is that crazy. the popular impression over half of american muslims reportedly believe that the u.s. government's anti-terrorism policies have been singling them out twenty five year old mohammed says he is stereotyped every single day of his life to go to work as. you name any names. you like to read a higher to the next person instead of you basically sometimes when i travel you know in the airport and all that i could get double check because of the name and. a wave of protests has taken place in new york the muslim community wants just two of their religious holidays to be days off in schools only today i mean if

christmas holiday to get a ten day break why cannot we have today it's elementary i want the school system michael bloomberg. the chancellor klein close to educate the schools . and the thought that. they have the abilities they have the power they can do it if they wish to because the muslim kids are as much as part of this community as everyone else to many this non inclusion in the education system is just the tip of the iceberg projects to build a number of mosques around the u.s. . whatever skeletons of intolerance for meaning in the closet we're going to use a simple search system to try to see exactly what the deal is with the number of mosques in new york compared to locations representing other religions this is what you get for catholic churches all of these red dots right here this is what you get for synagogues in new york. and this is what you get for mosques

a staggering difference that really speaks for itself a planned islamic center and mosque just steps away from ground zero is the biggest such project if you willing resistance right now nobody in their right minds would have any problem with that but of course the. including people who've been brainwashed by the nine eleven inside job and the people who are history that are going to make sure that there is a lot of controversy about it the belief is growing that when islam does turn radical it's because u.s. foreign policies create the circle eighty percent of the soldiers in iraq were asked why are you here they said payback on nine eleven you know even though iraq had nothing to do with less than a person is radicalized not by the ideology of. american u.s. foreign policy and this is actually the objective of the quote unquote terrorists if you will to get the west to show its true face in the international arena to show itself as an imperialist power to show itself as an ideological power that is

false and so the more they suppress domestic rights the more they are exposed for each and every muslim to see and the more muslims will take the view that we are at war with the west hundreds of hate crimes have been committed since nine eleven and the end of the decade of fear is not yet in sight and our new york. as a consequence of america's misadventures abroad is that in the eyes of the world it is losing any authority as role model and that's the view of one outspoken rapper in the us we spoke to our team. i think america's nightmare is a mirror. reflection of the ugliness we have to remember that. america is this model for democracy you know it's just the facade of you know everybody is the make up is there but behind the make up is kind of like it's kind of like it's a lot of it's a lot of things that. obama has to face you know i'm not. totally

disappointed in him i think that as a as a as a person you have to do your best job and then you're working with the united states government can't be can't be easy. do you hear what else generals to you have to say in just fifteen minutes time here on r t. staying in the u.s. and congress has been asked to give the green light for an israeli attack on iran in the early one third of house republicans expressed support for a measure backing a military strike against the islamic republic iran expert trita parsi from the woodrow wilson center for scholars in washington gave us his view on the political motives. ching silly season in washington with the elections in november and for that there has already been signs that israel is going to be a major element that some republicans will use to be able to get both voters as well as finance donations to campaigns away from the democrats but the problem is

that this is not a theoretical exercise at the end of the even silly season has real repercussions in the real world and the danger here is the signal is being sent to israel that are actually if we were to take this action in spite of the fact that the white house has sent a clear signals a pause ago despite the fact that the military the united states has sent a clear signals opposing it congress at least if the republicans take over are going to take take over are sending a signal that actually they would welcome it if push comes to shove and the united states is faced with a situation in which it feels that the israeli government is very close to making a decision of attacking iran and the u.s. still feels that that would be a very very dangerous move then this is going to impact things we're seeing some maneuvers in which elements who prefer military confrontation are positioning themselves very clearly and utilizing the resources that they have to start

a major campaign to push things in that direction whether they will be successful or not is of course a different matter but i think the intention to move in that direction and i want to emphasize these are elements outside of the obama administration and every year thousands of vulnerable elderly people across the world fall victim to abuse while in care however in the czech republic many feel that their government is turning a blind eye to the ugly statistics but as reports the country's first helpline for the elderly could offer some hope. most who arrive at this care home in suburban prague are no longer able to survive on their own and although you many have no close family almost their entire pension goes on paying medical bills. their lives are entirely in the hands of the carers independent charity say that up to twenty percent of elderly checks have been subject to abuse they say that the country has

simply failed knowledge the problem. for the call and mental that happens at home detentions which cover for my grandmother was started to the bed naked and covered in her own excrement she said the nurses dropped the bed under her got angry and just slapped her there telling her to behave when i found the chief nurse she said my grandmother had been bad and we could take her home if you wanted. ninety days to change attitudes it's the country's first telephone hotline for the elderly responding to dozens of pleas for help daily. the cut that he said when i was pleased to hear home i say my flowed over to my son but he promised to take me to my country house during the summer months but he didn't when i phoned the house did have some people have no medical answer it seems they have no idea who i am to get us. the hotlines founder believe that with the health care system inherited

from the communist regime and pensioners the other little economic power compared to their counterparts in the worst older people will continue to suffer but we hear . people working at the institutions want to decrease their workload even if this means that the pensioners themselves are restricted in what they do but the problem is wider than that there is little concept of the rights of older people or didn't . starve here say several unfortunate cases of cost to shadow difficult profession recent loss of and. you small independent care systems don't have penalized the worst. things are not nearly as bad as they were before even three years ago we have players just ordinary housewives american hero trained nurses we are changing . here there is little doubt that the czech republic and western europe and how it treats its senior citizens and they've proven it's maybe too late for so eager to

see. coming up in the next fifty minutes here in our team we check out summer time it was the coldest places on earth. way just it was cold somewhere usually around twenty degrees but as if it raises a question suppose but in this chamber where the beach just. believe it there is no snow here in the summer sometimes in me but never in the summer. u.k. court has refused to extradite former bosnian president to you've gone it's to serbia were he is wanted on war crimes charges the london judge said there was evidence a trial could be politically motivated dr gannet is accused of ordering the deaths of more than forty us soldiers in sarajevo at the start of the bosnian war ninety ninety two the sixty four year old was seized at london's heathrow airport in march after serbia issued an international arrest warrant ganesh denies being responsible

for the atrocities and we should get real of it a political expert on the balkans said the former leader should stand trial in his own country. where you too would be best if. caught trying to mr because this after all occurred on the territory of bosnia and herzegovina in fact it should be of the response ability of the boss no government and the boss no institutions to try mr not mr garmisch to resolve this whole case it is a war crime it needs to be resolved in some way but it appears to me here that the british position is to run away from it and possibly whitewash this whole thing. and our web site r t dot com has a lot more for you to check out here's a taste of what's happening there right now. russian and american drug police busted a trafficking ring involving a show man and a corrupt officer. and a russian lawmakers predict the last days of sham psychics con they are trusting

clients out of thousands of dollars or more had to r.t. dot com. now a paragon has lost track of almost nine billion dollars which was meant to be spent on reconstructing iraq that's ninety five percent of the money given to the development fund the american military was given the money raised from the sale of iraq i guess in a while by the un after the invasion in two thousand and three a us audit found forty roll over where the assets were spent and in a country still suffering a lack of electricity and other basic services former cia analyst roy mcgovern says the lack of oversight needs further investigation. there were doubtless people who were supposed to be supervising overseeing these funds the fact that as it's said here that they have sort of disappeared and that they were liable to have been per lawyer and you know that's no explanation and we have to find out who provided them and what happened to these funds you know most reminds me of of the search for

weapons of mass destruction in iraq the so-called the b. and d. judging from who didn't get sacked last time there probably will be people promoted despite all this doesn't seem to be much in the way of accountability here in specially in the pentagon where money has always been so plentiful that a billion here a billion there nine billion billion is a drop a drop in the lake or what the pentagon spends now to the degree that the mass media choose to play this up all the. you will get a lot of very angry americans americans angry at the expenditure of phones in this way abroad and. afghanistan but also the expenditure of seventy five billion a year on the so-called security intelligence industrial complex

which is a two and a pair of fold increase from the time before nine eleven and when people say after nine eleven everything changed well yeah it sure did but not to the good. now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world and on going to rancho rays in china have triggered a landslide which left more than twenty people missing thousands of civilians were evacuated from their homes many houses roads and bridges collapsed almost a thousand people have died so far this year in the worst flooding to hit the country in a decade forecasters say more heavy rains are expected this week. and the foil giant b.p. suffered a record loss of seventeen billion dollars in the second quarter of the year in the wake of a massive oil spill in the gulf of mexico you know this one came as b.p.

sun but in the summertime on the river that's exactly what you get and it's hot very hot which means the boats are coming out so are the boating competition and all the beach lovers the family and friends let's go talk to some people. those people with a long time for summer they always want to get away from. it but right now we've got great conditions for the boy. summer usually around twenty degrees we have to the forest for strawberries aversions. where the beach just. believe there's no snow here in the summer sometimes in may but never in the summer. time for the yearly neptune festival where the people of homs celebrate the god of the sea my bathing in the river. and i've played neptune for several years it's my favorite role i lost weight for this we do it every year the kids believe me that many families like this holiday and like to celebrate it so the music is still pumping

hello welcome to the business program hey on our tail is folly is two years since robert dudley then head of to pay flared in russia after a dispute with russian shareholders on tuesday he was declared the new boss of b. pay taking office in october and in a final twist the outgoing chief tony hayward may return to russia as a director of tank a b.p. united ever reports. robert dudley has already earned his credit for handling of the gulf of mexico oil spill the gulf represents one third of the company's oil and gas was in refineries and his experience in russia where t.v. generates about a quarter of the bees revenues and she should be well prepared to take over the whole company where she is likely true means central to the peace jirga e.g. with analysts dismissing media reports that the company could sell a stake in its cash generator team t v p possibly to gas room or ross nifty to be

easy cash generator on an original investment of seven billion dollars in two thousand and three b.p. has already seen twelve billion dollars from dividends officially for the last. year reported for more than thirty five billion dollars of revenues and if they can stand alone. indeed is the largest piece of cedars in terms of revenues and probably in terms of the dark and profit and of course thank you he's one of the largest cash sources for b.p. so obviously catching aeration now for b.p. is one of the problem of target countries are lining up to pull the barrels from b.p.'s flour the company has already confirmed it is looking to sell the assets with few details an ounce to exxon mobil and chevron now both in talks to take over the company but first things first to stop the leaking first asked to begin. with

this to plug the well that's still not done yet we're still two to three weeks away from that even though the spill has now been contained it has not been plugged so the first order of things is to get the plug done the second is to figure out how the investments are going to be done and then it's a question of reconstructing and winning back the trust of the american people robert dudley has shown his skills at getting a good price when he's sold to masses of team keep b.p. the talent will come in handy now that b.p. needs to raise cash to people consequences of its oil spill in u.s. waters the question is how much he has to dilute the brand in the process in any bit of a business r.t. . close contact of babies new chief executives as b.p.'s russian interests will be dark managed directly by robert dudley that runs counter to media speculation the outgoing c.e.o. tony hayward is being drafted in to look off to

a chief executive of b.p. will oversee rush along with the board of directors of b.p. will make all the key decisions. i think that the fact that michael friedman apparently according to bob dudley today in one didn't offer to help bob get his visa garamond car on another key. or partner. so that they're walking forward to. taking over as chief executive as well as tony hayward coming in as a member of the board suggests that. i think really signals that things are going to go reasonably well. present a measurement of aid of wants to tap new sources of finance or diversify russia's economy he said investment along with business support services from rort to accounting other key to innovation our correspondent in tell you have clover has

investment also to develop our financial markets so that capital inflows stay in russian companies regardless of the situation in foreign markets. when you're facing let's have a look at the markets nowadays and share the higher are when i say we take a market charging ahead on solid corporate earnings from qana. by three point eight percent in early trading across the region a growing following tuesday's gains in european and u.s. financial sector banks saying is gaining more than one hundred percent the fact. they are in a rush the last thing is to say trading session in the last. overwhelms the t.v. with the top there that would shares gaining to move into. the fold of the my six of the around five that. most of the business now be can always find more stories on our website home clash business.
