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 stay is to stop talking about twenty eleven and start talking about twenty four tane and more resources the second they were 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 and the tragedy that significantly breaks from the one president obama announced in december and the lawmakers say they aren't. listening many do not like

what they're hearing now what point do we say that we can't we can't make this work us senator ted kaufman not accepting a 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 that we do something better we just when the day we decide that we don't have garments that is good enough we should leave that day up push back while others work to push ahead a tug of war within a real war with no end in sight christine for south r.t. . america's political landscape is the major theme for many musicians around the country take the moment to voice their concerns about where the u.s. is heading and encourage people to find what they believe but also speak to a rabbi he says the country needs to drop its mosque and make reality match the

image it's trying to portray. 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 a facade of you know everybody is the makeup is there but behind the make up is kind of like 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 because it can't be easy. well what else general steele has to say in just over twenty minutes time. quarter russia's far east has rules and internet providers should bar access to

several websites including the popular video sharing site we keep using them of hosting extremist ideology the argument was based on the posting on you tube of a nationalist video titled russia for russians other side effect is allowed to read books of extremist content such as hitler's mind can't prosecute say who filed the law said he was acting quote in the interests of russia but the internet provider involved called the ruling absurd. these decisions should be taken by a court to all of mankind is using this website and provides like those don't violate russian law which we're still being forced to close the website so the toll users can go in and watch the videos this is absurd according to this logic we have to demolish all buildings that have swastikas on the walls or when two people are discussing a bomb over the phone we have to take away the phones from all the people across

russia. but the editor in chief of the private correspondence paper here in moscow even believes the case could now have far reaching consequences. it's a big issue it's so although we sure it's becoming a national issue it's becoming a global issue as well because basically any court can suspend access to you tube this means that you tube is not a company that can operate in russia so i think if this is this is said so you know on the first case basis said this sets that the procedure for the user generated content websites how they can defend themselves in court and what is it you know what is the procedure to say to settle this sort of the show and i think that you do it has been doing so much to prevent this that even the made life hell for many of its media partners for example chessboard are you with

a website that i'm editing we have published a video using you tube channel also we've published video of him as demonstrations and actions etc and so many times. our video has been moderated how do you do so many times you should have enclosed a large channel and believe that you do best being very vigilant and i think it is a big setback for them that somebody still managed to bring a case against them he runs as a risky editor in chief at the point of a correspondent that. we've got spends more to keep you occupied on our website of course i mean it's time for extras on all the stories we're covering all of the features that all do in our regular program here's just a quick taste of what's online. for you at the moment how do you keep a cool body in mind when even the tall mugs of boiling in the summer have you'll stay and find out what all this thing. and discover how the

the five years of being very strained under the you should ministration now with victory unequivocal in office they're moving towards each other and the fact that millions of worshippers are greeting party archaeal all across ukraine is as is a good proof to that according to many experts so people are now celebrating and we see services are being held everywhere across ukraine and russia. and places in this. area a mistake of seeing really as one of the coldest halls point towards boiling a few minutes time. claims to being to the castle became the wilderness of the great and. it's a form of. the phlegm now while he goes to central russia where the car industry is rapidly developing. history finds life and explains.

we've got great conditions for that. you'd never know that these sweltering siberians will be running for shelter from the most famous winters in the world in just a few months. twelve hours a day here we have such long cold winters that people just one toy out there hours between three and eight o'clock can be a problem there are the hardest and that's exactly when the people who are here at the beach. like one particular veteran of fifty siberian summers with no air conditioning or t.v. with sure that it's impossible to stay at home it's too hot i can't believe in the flood there's just no air is been like this since may the climate is changing it's like said beer is becoming a part of southern russia weather experts say maybe not like southern russia but so far this summer siberia is pushing through mom and her in both directions of nature of what the situation in siberia is very diverse i mean both hot and cool records

in a broken homes because located between the cold center and the heat of its unique region in a way the contrast between summer and winter is overwhelming. we hit the road from the beach to find people working in this weather instead of just enjoying it after a minor setback when the cab overheated we found a farmer and his daughter toiling on their land twelve kilometers outside of town where the snows of the steps make way for potatoes only right as you can tell by my face it's very hot no more than thirty degrees weeds are growing quick and we're fighting them you can grow anything here if you've got the skills we have very good black soil and we have more sunny days then sent petersburg. we found these old soviet river about right where the air to air should be all made of rivers meet. it's funny but here in the countryside to sell stifling you come back to town to get still equally as hot but the air coming off these rivers.

sales of luxury cars but bent these are lamborghinis actually rose by more than a in the first half of this year i'll have more later on in the bulletin but first it's two years since robert dudley then head of b.p. fled to russia after a dispute with russian shareholders on tuesday he was declared that the new boss of b.p. taking office in october and in a final twist the outgoing head tony hayward may return to russia as a board member of b.p. so you know reports. robert dudley has already earned his created for handling of the gulf of mexico oil spill the gulf represents one third of the company's oil and gas wells and refineries and his experience in russia waiting to be 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 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 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 from dividends officially for the last two people 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 their profit and of course think you is one of the largest cash sources for b.p. 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 reinvestment site 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 to masses of team keep b.p. tell him to. come in handy now b.p. needs to raise cash to people consequences of a toil spill in u.s. waters the question is how much he has to be grand in the process than any bit of a business r.t. . a close contact of b.p.'s new chief executive says b.p. russian interests will be managed directly by robert dudley that runs counter to media speculation that outgoing c.e.o. tony hayward is being drafted in to look after t. and k b p. 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. the fact that michael friedman appear we call you bob dudley today and one didn't offer to help bob get his visa garamond car on another key. or partner. so that they're working for to do it for you so 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. run it up click it how do you see markets are shaping up but he has a raised his modest gave the index of being led low by fools and utilities and technology stocks that banks are higher following assume of course the results h.s.b.c. of barclays are among the top gains on the footsie up more than one percent this
