on a stand 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 stay 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 is a tragedy that significantly breaks from the one president obama announced in december and our 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 that we leave 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 south r t. american war tactics in iraq are also making the news a group of researchers claim the use of depleted uranium by the u.s. might be causing genetic diseases among the local population and one of the authors of the report professor christopher busby believes the health problems could prove worse than among survivors of the hiroshima nuclear explosion there's an enormous amount of new science which is being completely ignored by the world health organization and by the scientists who work for the governments who are associated with the use of these weapons the science is changing we now know that your brain environs very strongly to d.n.a. and causes affects exactly at the d.n.a. where you would expect it to cause the kinds of cold lining the cancers and the infant mortality in the congenital malformation the bikini is all of these things that were found there are not just talking but actually here we find them to

a much greater extent than epidemiological study the first statistical epidemiological study that looks at the children and the adults on the ground to see whether these effects are real and we find that they are real and if i'm not a real or very much worse than people of thought we found evidence of the use of this weapon in afghanistan in lebanon and in gaza and so what we urgently need to do is to ask the u.s. military and the israelis and all the other people using this weapon to come clean about what it is because if we know what it is then maybe we can have some attempt to try and mitigate the problems that it's causing and possibly the international community might decide to ban it. plenty more ahead here in r.t. including dialing for help investigate. the elderly in the czech republic and whether a new helpline will make a difference. but first hot on the still letter o. heels of red headed double agent and a chaplain another so-called friend fertile has been seized in the u.s. this time with a bag full of banned rifle sights but the lawyer of the twenty four year old let

him born american citizen says the media is simply gone james bond crazy his going to church can. it seems the u.s. can't go without a hot spice story this summer they banished anna chapman now another anna has entered the stage also in her twenty's this time more of a smuggler than a spy and if amman of though was arrested in new york were trying to smuggle several state of the art night gunsight devices into russia. she says she bought them online for her husband and his friends who happen to be fans of hunting there is no connection whatsoever between anna and. the folks evident reported back on july tenth and ne she's not a spy the government's not even saying that she's a spy this is just this is just the press trying to us and say she lies the story.

but to most american media she's yet another twenty something russian agent. in light of this season's spy hike every russian woman in the us seems to mistreat. young maybe a schoolteacher maybe a reporter doesn't matter what you do but the allure of a russian spies there and the women are the most intriguing. movie critics say the rest of ten russian agents in the u.s. this summer was the best and campaign possible for the latest movie with angelina jolie a russian spy story song might have come across as a little outdated but after the rest it appears fresh a new of the most challenging was speaking russian very high language hard beautiful beautiful skin to be a feeling could make a great gift to this movie and it's not the only one of the summer nights in date

with tom cruise it's a favorite plots in hollywood but i think in the future they're going to be more comedy and some spice rather than serious drama. real life spying is no joke but when a young attractive woman enters the picture things change. i was i think what was most readers are intrigued and amused by the other times for sort of a pretty woman. there is this almost me to fixation of the mata hari sexy spot on the set a man of his profile on a social networking site shows she's online but she's not responding to any media requests as soon as american police put the alleged as the titian slash english teacher under home arrest her web page was boarded by visits she seems to be not as high end as chapman who had lived in manhattan and hung out with millionaires but this anna has also earned her own spotlight with the media. gani chicken r t.

well there's more to come here in our to later in the hour including resisting everything but temptation what is tempting the rich these days is moscow we can find out why wealthy ex-pats are flocking to the russian capital to lead the millionaire lifestyle. that's still to come first an internet provider in russia's far east has been ordered by court to bar access to a number of websites including the popular video sharing site you tube accusing them of hosting extremist ideology the argument was based on the posting on you tube of a nationalist video titled russia for russians other sites affected allowed users to read books of extremist content such as this one camp the prosecutor who filed the lawsuit said he was acting quote in the interests of russia but the internet provider involved called the ruling absurd. these decisions

shouldn't be taken by a court through all of mankind is using this website and providers like cows don't fire late russian law which was still being forced to close the website so that all users can't look on and watch videos this is absurd according to this logic we have to demolish all buildings that have swastikas on the wall or when two people are discussing a bomb over the phone and we have to take away the photos from all the people across russia because. the editor in chief of the private correspondent newspaper here in moscow. believes the case could have far reaching consequences. it's a big issue so always sure it's become internationally sure it's becoming a global issue as well because basically any court can suspect and access to you too this means that you tube is not a company that can operate in russia so i think this is this sets you know on the first case basis this sets of the procedure for the user generated content websites

how they can defend themselves in court and what is you know what is the procedure to us to settle this sort of issue and i think that you do has been doing so much to prevent this that even it made life hell for many of its media partners for example chast board are you with a website that i'm editing we have published a b.t.o. using you tube channel also we've published video of first and as demonstrations and actions etc and so many times. our video has been moderated out of you to so many times you should have been close to our channel and deleted you do bears been very vigilant and i think it is a big setback for them that somebody still managed to bring a case against them. and we've got plenty more to keep your part on our website just log on any time for extras on the stories we're coming at money on screen and

plenty of features that i want in our regular programming. dot com right now you can find out why the georgian president mikheil saakashvili is refusing to apologize after the media accused him of making a racist remark. was on the website discover how the shores of alaska were claimed for the russian empire long before the u.s. even appeared. an explosion at a russian orthodox church in the ukrainian city of has killed one woman and injured at least eight others were gathered to celebrate the anniversary of the baptism of russia. as the details. it is really hard to say what exactly happened in the

central ukrainian city. but according to eyewitnesses a certain package exploded at the very doorstep one of the churches in central part of the city during a holy day mass which was celebrating at thousand and twenty two years since russia was baptized in russia adopted christianity authorities are now investigating what exactly caused this loss but if you have any have any doubts that this is a terrorist attack this is not an accident because i would the say that this was a package which exploded so which is a ruling out the possibility of any accident or a gas leak or anything of that sort this incident happened amid celebrations of thousand and twenty two years since russia adopted orthodox christianity and the head of the russian orthodox church but they have killed was on his weeklong visit to ukraine that church you belong to the moscow patriarchate which is partly

running the orthodox church in ukraine whilst the other part belongs to ukraine in a tone of must also looks church authorities have little doubt that this was a handmade handmade incident and they are now looking for for somebody who claimed responsibility for that explosion in the church ends up i was here. and that was. reporting from kiev. a hotline for the elderly has been set up in the czech republic following the disclosure of cases of abuse and neglect charity workers say many seniors are unaware of their rights and full victim to the cruelty of abusive carers and. reports. to roy that this home in suburban prague are no longer able to survive on the. money when the close family almost the entire attention goes on paying medical bills their lives and toil 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 abuses both 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 me. to change attitude 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 hear home i send 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 an answer it seems they have no idea

who i am it's gross. the hotline's 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. 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 rates of older people. starve here say several unfortunate cases of cast a shadow on a difficult profession recent loss of introduce more independent care assessments and have penalized the worst care homes. but things are not nearly as bad as they were even three years ago i haven't played just ordinary housewives working here with trains now that we're changing. here there is little doubt that the czech republic lags behind western europe in how it treats its senior citizens but any

improvements may be too late for some eager of of c. prague. and after some other stories making headlines around the world at this stage of the day any official say one hundred fifty two people on board a passenger plane that crashed in hills around it is now about have died over reports claiming find survivors have been attracting the plane was flying from karachi for the capital an investigation is underway to establish the cause of the crash. in a landmark decision the spanish region of catalonia has voted to ban bullfighting one hundred eighty thousand people signed a petition saying it's an outdated a brutal form of entertainment fans of the sport argue it's one of the oldest traditions in the country and should be preserved the regional ban which is the first in maine and spain comes into effect in jan. well russia might not be quite the top of a millionaire's list when it comes to choosing where to live in the world but each year increasing numbers of foreigners all moving here and among the new arrivals

are c.e.o.'s of large international companies ortiz qatar deserve a report on what they find so during about life here in russia. civita russian style the media writes about it the people talk about it and very few actually live it and a lot of those who do aren't even russian this is moscow so-called golden mile where real estate is valued at around ten to twenty thousand u.s. dollars per square meter is apartments are fitted with every gadget and have every conceivable comfort and are let to top managers from international companies who come to live and work in russia but why do they come by and large moscow is a fast paced developed city but it still lacks the comforts the expert managers for you still so what brings them here. well first of all it's the money moscow is considered quite dangerous by most of these companies so they get paid extra just to come then as the income tax in russia is just thirteen percent compared to forty

in europe the u.s. and of course it's the glamorous life they lead here the parties the dancers the night clubs the country clubs red carpet treatment everywhere they go who can say no to that right the latest man unable to say no d.p.c. oh tony hayward in a somewhat musical chairs move mr hayward will replace former. head robert dudley who will move to b.p. headquarters in london the boss what benefits not just the ex-pats in the region you know they have entire villages built for them which if they choose to they don't even have to leave them there every whim is created for including weekends flights back home and of course for russia this is quite beneficial as well drew when the experts culture is very valued because it's to relates cultural growth call. growth there's somewhat doubtful though the top managers party with the best and keenly of void the rest including members of the press something that in their

native europe or america would not be accepted as well but here they set the rules and everyone else watches on trying to appear in behind the tentacle ass of their motorcades. catch our t.v. moscow. well that brings you up to date. america's lack of success in military campaigns that have cost thousands of lives and billions of dollars and hold its reputation as a role model for the mocker see well that's according to one outspoken american rap artist who believes the country's image is just a facade a special interview coming up shortly here.

not that long ago. most. embrace their new popular president. problem which would make you stop. for some people. has worn away. the general c.e.o. of rap duo smith and wesson is among the few cutting against the grain in confronting issues like social injustice and government corruption. and they were one of. the brooklyn born rapper sat down with our team to discuss his new album america's nightmare part two children of war for centuries. people have known

that the president has been the face of the corporation called america united states. when we start dealing with the reality in. this great position you know the people. government you know and i don't think people realize that so. do you mean to tell me you don't think that. u.s. president barack obama can change the system the system that you say is led. by the corporations of the united states in my opinion i think he means well and i think that there are there are there are people who are going to run in this country way before brock graduate and probably thought about running for office or coming in senegal and yet you know and yet. but the big star to interrupt you but the reason most so many americans rallied around him is because he promised to change that pattern he vowed to as a matter of fact in two thousand and eight i think in october two thousand and

eight you put a video up on you tube a letter to barack obama where he said we need a president that knows how to react. we stand with you. has he reacted to any of the injustices you've seen in some forms he has because he can not stand and do nothing what we see is the media telling us how things are going so we're kind of like we're kind of calm before the storm so to speak i think that obama is a good way to keep people at bay i think that his his demeanor is so they call him the cool president you know it's like these card the wrist exam almost like it reminds me of rap almost like you want to make this cool guy appeal to people but then the people who are there are some people that's looking at the issues and they're like they're not really happy with the performance of the president right now issues being unemployment like what we were speaking about before how unemployment among african-americans at least here in new york city is four times

higher than that of white americans and there's a similar pattern like that in the majority of states throughout the country do you think that having a black president in office or did you think it would have changed or help change that problem or combat the problem just the problem in a way i think that's an excellent question and i think that's one of the one of the things that i think about most when i look at the people in the community i think that people have to realize that they are the government the people who elect the government officials and i think it's important that people are informed about this is. to pass the buck to give something right. to say yes jobs. get us better health care or open more schools for our children like what we see the power that we have as a unified and this is our symbol of if occasion would just say that. we have to know where the power came from initially came from the people who elected this

individual i think that. the need for change is what set this whole thing in motion and. it's going on all over the world it just seems like america or the americans or american citizens are just kind of sleeping right now i don't know i don't know if they understand what's really going on in the world or how it effects affects them or affects us because on american citizens we have to remember that. america is this model for democracy you know we become just like people in third world countries. look to america and say you know you guys are really seem like you got it together you know. it's not really together it's just a facade of you know everybody is the make up is there but behind the make up is kind of like kind of like chaotic if it's not a democracy here in the united states what is it that's a good question it's

a good question. when people can speak up when they can have a peaceful protests. about injustices that's in the community is for something as small as from police brutality to what's going on and with the oil spill. and be active when you have the people dissatisfied what was going on with the policies then you have to wake up in the morning president obama has to work a bit more say i what am i going to do about what's going on in. detroit all fifty fifty five schools it's called harm are going to deal with this like we're talking about the future that was some of the children who. economy does pose an economy forcing us a pause and jobs for a second let's talk about the opportunity for children even knowing it is there is a hole in their country so to create more jobs what is america's nightmare because that's what your album is called america's nightmare part two children of war right now it is america's nightmare i think america's nightmare is

a mirror. a reflection of the ugliness and i think that america the beautiful like the song goes i think that america is a beautiful place but i think that it has been covered with so much turmoil in oil so much turmoil and i think that. if we shake loose we can begin to get into this. you know build a better quality of life with not such a separation is 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 it can't be it can't be easy see your message to your fellow americans i gather is open your eyes open your eyes don't sleep don't don't fall for whatever they feed you i can communicate with people. across the world so what

i say has to be important it has to be helpful has to be unless i'm just an agent for destruction and then i probably need to be with the rest of the spies and and a bios on a blow up stuff. that no general still thank you very much for sitting dank you there's been a pleasure and honor thank you. for sure is that so much for you to be sitting on the mark westfield bombing is probably mending fences with israel actually is enough to restart what is called the peace process. the state has provided citizens with. child so full. of self.

uplifted chaps i'll tell you had a problem like. mum when the government since trying to. run my flux. right sucks. up out of the killin and dramatic. like something that has been to the chassis and region of the wilderness and the great outdoors is a form of adventure. now wattie goes to central russia where the car industry is rapidly developing where history finds a new life in its maintenance and where american citizens can find a new welcome to the. russian close up.
