in the 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 the 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 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 what 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 perspiring 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 that we believe something better we just as. when the day we decide

that we don't have garments 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 south r t and staying in the us were the anti muslim sentiment from the immediate aftermath of nine eleven lingers on and some worry it's anderson muslims going about their of lives falling victim to media scaremongering r t is an associate you're going to takes a look. has the religion of islam turned into a source of fear in the us while 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 this one guy symbolized all those all muslims for

most americans because americans are so politically an 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 elitist estimate from the council of american islamic relations says there are seven million muslims currently living in the us 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 us 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 muslims are 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 stereotypes every single day of his life you go to work as a chicken. kind of like you know skip you like to read a hard next person instead of you basically sometimes like when i travel like you know an airport and all that like you get double check because the name of. a wave of protests has taken place in new york the muslim community who 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 to close the educate the schools. here 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 west. whatever skeletons of intolerance for remaining 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 plant islam makes 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 are a lot of controversy about it the belief is growing that when islam does turn radical it's because u.s. foreign policies create a vicious 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 lebanon the person is radicalized not by the ideology of it but by 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 just as. new york. now a consequence of america's misadventures abroad is that in the eyes of the world it is losing any authority as a role model and that's the view of one outspoken rapper in the us a spoke to r.t. . i think america's nightmare is a mirror. a reflection of the ugliness we have to remember that. america is this model for democracy you know yet it's just a facade of you know everybody has to 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. and you can hear what else general steele had to say in an hour here in our team. in time in the u.s. congress has been asked to give the green light for an israeli attack on iran a nearly 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 and washington says the move sans a dangerous signal. we are reaching 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 that 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 opposing congress at least if the republicans take over take take over are sending a signal that actually they would welcome it i think it can be seen as an encouragement for various reasons one being that this is essentially a preemptive green this is not a situation in which the israeli government had made a decision to do it then afterwards he was congress comes out in the support of it but this is actually in advance of that coming out and saying we would support that so that is a little bit different and can be interpreted as an encouragement 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 statistic but as eager for ports the country's first

helpline for the elderly could offer some hope. most arrive at this care home in suburban prague are no longer able to survive on their own. money 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 to acknowledge the problem the basis for the call and mental that happens at homes and institutions which govern my grandmother was straight 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 eight to change attitudes it's the country's

first telephone hotline for the elderly responding to dozens of pleas for help daily. the quote that he said when i was pleased to gear 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 win a from the house some people have never met the answer it seems they have no idea who i am to get us. the hotline's found they 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. well here. the 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 are doing. stuff here say several unfortunate cases of cost

a shadow difficult profession recent loss of introduce more independent care assessments and penalize the worst. but things are not nearly as bad as they were even three years ago i have a place just ordinary housewives working here with trained nurses that we're changing. here there is little doubt that the czech republic lags behind western europe and how it treats its senior citizens and they improvements may be too late for some eager in the sea. and coming up in the next fifteen minutes actually checks out summertime in one of the coldest places on earth. about much better people for the beach to swim in sandy believe it there's no snow here in the summer so it was in me but never somewhere. a u.k. court has refused to extradite former bosnian president ganesh to serbia where he

is wanted on war crimes charges the london judge said there was evidence a trial could be politically motivated dr ganesh is accused of ordering the deaths of more than forty us live soldiers in sarajevo at the start of the bosnian war in one thousand nine hundred sixty four year old was seized at london's heathrow airport in march after serbia issued an international everest warrant gonna denies being responsible for the atrocities of the religion a political expert on the balkans that the former leader should stand trial in his own country. it would be best if boss near court try to mr garbage because this after all occurred on the territory of bosnia and herzegovina and in fact it should be a very. sponsibility of the bosnian government and the bosnian institutions to try mr garnett or if not mr garnish 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 and here's a taste of what screaming there right now russian american drug police busted a trafficking ring involving a show man out of office. and russian lawmakers predict the last days of sham psychics are on their trusting lines are down to dollars from or had to argue from. the pentagon 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 c.e.o. of rocky gas and oil by the u.n. after the invasion in two thousand and three a u.s. audit found poor control over where the assets for spend in a country still suffering a way to fill tricity and other a 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 law 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. 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 for what the pentagon spends now to the degree that the mass media choose to play this up well then you will get

a lot of very angry americans. americans are angry at the expenditure of this way abroad in iraq and. afghanistan but also the expenditure of seventy five billion a year on the so-called security intelligence industrial complex which is a two 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 former cia analyst rama govern there now let's turn to some other stories from around the world and i'm going to rancho rains in china have triggered a landslide which is 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 here in the worst flooding to hit the country in

taking a chance to have the rivers to cool down and we sent winds of france to the city of homs to have a look to. siberia may not be what comes to mind when you think of sand surf and sun but in the summertime on the river that's what you get and it's hot very hot which means the boats are coming out so are the boating competition all the beach lovers the family and friends of. people waiting a long time for summer we always want to get away from. it but right now we've got great conditions for the. time we're usually around twenty degrees we have to the forest for strawberries. where the. believe there is no snow here in the summer sometimes in may but never in the summer. it's time for the yearly neptune fest for the people of homs celebrate the god of the sea bathing in the

b.p. taking office in october and did a final twist the algo in chief terry hayward may return to russia as a board member p.p. so united in the fate of 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 wars and refineries and his experience in russia where to keep b.p. generates about a quarter of b.p.'s revenues and she should be well prepared to take over the whole company where she's likely true means central to b.p. strategy 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 team g.b. is a cash generator on an original investment of seven billion dollars in two thousand and three b.p. has already seen twelve billion dollars of dividends officially for the last year he reported for more than thirty five billion dollars of revenues and if they can

stand alone. he indeed is the largest piece of cedars in terms of revenues and probably in terms of the dark and profit and of course think you is one of the largest cash sources for so obviously catching aeration now for b.p. is one of the promised 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 pass to begin with the 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 second is to figure out how the reinvestments like going to be done and then it's

a question of reconstructing in winning back the trust of the american people who are dudley has shown his skills at getting a good price when he's sold upstream assets of team key b.p. talent will come in handy now that b.p. needs to raise cash to people consequences of that oil spill in u.s. waters the question is how much he has to dilute the brand in the process in any way to do a business r.t. . a close contact of b.p.'s new chief executive says b.p.'s russian interests will be managed directly by robert dudley that runs counter to media speculation the outgoing c.e.o. tony hayward is being drafted in to look after the paper chief executive of b.p. will oversee russia along with the board of directors of b.p. will make all the key decisions. i think that the fact that michael friedman apparently quoted bob dudley today in wonder and offer to help bob

get his visa garamond car on another key. or partner here in k b p said that they're working for 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 dmitri medvedev wants to tap new sources of find out to diversify russia's economy he said investments along with business support services from a lot of accounting of a key to innovation all correspondent to tell you how clover has the details. meeting of the presidential commission on more devastation has shown that when it comes to venture capital investment in russia it's easy to say what needs to be done then to make what has already been achieved so far there are only three venture funds working in russia with a total capital of two billion dollars which of course absolutely not enough for
