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 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 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 can't say we can't make this work us 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 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 example r t well america's military campaign in iraq is also making big news a group of researchers claim the use of depleted uranium by u.s. led forces during the war may be causing cancer and genetic diseases among the local population one of the authors of the report british iraqi scientists malar com don has told r.t. the situation on the ground can be described as catastrophic for the past year i have been working with doctors i've been working with pediatricians gynecologist neurosurgeon all have been giving indications very strong indication that there's been massive increases in cancers and birth defects the study that we have conducted recently does actually prove that there are massive increases in cancers thirty eight fold increase in looking ten fold increase in births cancers the

infant mortality is staggering really the unprecedented numbers of birth defects we have a humanitarian disaster we are pleading to the international community to the scientific community but really to government is to actually do something about it we need to set up an independent investigation we can't just close our eyes because this is happening and there is a whole new generation of very ill and disabled children and that is actually what we are facing. there's more to come here on r.t. later in the hour including resisting everything but temptation and what a time to be rich these days in moscow find out why wealthy ex-pats are flocking to the russian capital to live the millionaire lifestyle. now hot on the still letter heels of red had a double agent out of chapman another so-called a farm fertile has been seized in the u.s.

this time with a bag full of bad rifle sights but the lawyer of the twenty four year old a lot the inboard american citizen says the media have simply gone james bond crazy here's going at it. it seems the u.s. can't good without a hot spy story this summer they banished any chapman now another and has entered the stage also in her twenty's this time more of a smuggler than a spine and if i'm on of it was arrested in new york for 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 that were 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

a lot is 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 u.s. seems to exude mystery. young maybe a schoolteacher and 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 a little out state but after the rest it appears fresh a new of the most challenging was speaking russian military had learned that beautiful study of the

f.b.i. 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 in 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. most readers are intrigued and amused by the first order of a pretty woman. there is this almost me to fixation or the mata hari sexy spot on the superman 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 and as chapman who had lived in manhattan and hung out with millionaires but

this has also earned her own spotlight with the media gannett chicken r t. following the huge success of the movie avatar the three d. boom is officially upon us more and more moviegoers are opting for an added dimension when it choosing what to watch but how was a film like that made find out in our teens technology update in some twenty minutes from now. this is. the life. of. a federal judge in the u.s. has blocked part of a controversial new immigration law in arizona the move prevents police from

questioning suspects about their immigration status previously the law authorized police to the proof of citizen for anyone to arrested or detained also drop was a part requiring immigrants to carry papers at all times despite the new development critics say the law still supports racial profiling and targets latinos and other minorities argues do you know salty has more from arizona. this issue is far from over this immigration law now as far as i understand the protests that were planned for later today are still about to have a misuse dangerous thing think you have to wonder if this is going to just turn around and the supporters of as b ten seventy some of those minutemen people who support this law they're probably going to come out and say wait a second the federal government is not enforcing it and so it's up to the states to take matters into their own hands and they're using ascii two hundred seventy to say look arizona is the first to do this and now we're being overruled by the

federal government now let's not forget twenty other states are already considering similar legislation so it's going to be very interesting to see what happens but for critics of the law they say that the entire law is misguided and so even if you take out certain provisions of it something still needs to be done and it still needs to be repealed totally the most controversial provisions of the law are sort of should you put an injunction against them as far as what happens next you know you mentioned how much media is here i mentioned that to a lot of the folks here who live in arizona will tell you that this is blown completely out of proportion professor joseph nevins from vassar college in new york say the new law violates the human rights of minorities in the u.s. . the first thing is i think we need to understand this b ten seventy is part and parcel of a much larger set of laws and actions by the federal government not only local authorities it is now in arizona that it's created a very repressive climate for migrants and to the extent that practice practices of

exclusion with which the federal government is putting in place. migrants the very basic rights now if you look at the universal declaration of human rights it guarantees everyone a right to everyone has a right to life everyone has a right to security physical security and social security everyone has a right to an adequate diet everyone has a right to shelter and clothing to medical assistance etc everyone has a right to a job. in many places where people are coming from places like el salvador guatemala rural mexico the resources necessary to realize these rights don't exist so in order to realize those rights they have to migrate to to deny these people the right to migrate so they can gain the resource gain access to the resources so they can realize these other rights is to know them their fundamental humanity. and internet provider in russia's far east has been ordered by a court to bar access to a number of websites including the popular video sharing site youtube accusing them of hosting extremist ideology the argument was based on the posting on you tube of a nationalist video titled russia for russia and other sites

a fact that allowed us to read of books of extremist content such as hitler's mind crown the prosecutor who filed the lawsuit said he was at the quote in the interests of russia but the internet provider involved called the ruling absurd. these decisions should be taken by all of mankind is using this website and providers like those don't file a trust. which was still being forced to close the website so that's how users cancel court and watch videos this is absurd according to this logic we have to demolish buildings that have swastikas on when two people are discussing a bomb over the phone we have to take away the phones from all the people across russia because. the editor in chief of the private correspondent newspaper here in moscow yvonne's a source believes the case could have far reaching consequences. it's a big issue in so always sure there's becoming a national issue or it's becoming

a global issue as well because basically any court can suspend access to youtube this means that you tube is not a company that can operate in russia so i think this is this is a set so you know on the first case basis this sets the 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 it has been doing so much to prevent this that even it 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 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 best 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 you occupied on our website just log on any time for extras on the stories we're covering and plenty of features that aren't in our regular program and here's a quick taste of what's on our right mind of our georgian president mikheil saakashvili is refusing to apologize after the media accuse him of making racist remarks. and discover how the shores of alaska works for the russian empire long before the u.s. appeared.

an explosion at an orthodox church in the ukraine his city has killed one woman and injured at least eight others worshippers had gathered to celebrate the anniversary of the baptism of russia. has the details. it is really hard to say what exactly happened in the central ukrainian city of the bottles yeah 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 since russia adopted christianity authorities are now investigating what exactly caused this loss but few have any had any doubts that this is a terrorist attack this is not an accident because i would this is say that this was a package which exploded so though it is a ruling out the possibility of any accident or a gas leak or anything all 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 good deal was on his week long visit to ukraine that church is up for those you belong to the moscow branch or arche which is partly running the also talks church in ukraine was 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 at zero zero and now for some other stories making headlines around the world pakistani officials say all one hundred fifty to people on board a passenger plane that crashed in hills surrounding islam a body have died earlier reports claiming five survivors have been retracted the arab plane was flying from karachi bound for the capital an investigation is underway to establish the cause of the crash. in

a landmark decision the spanish region of cup a long year has voted to ban bullfighting one hundred eighty thousand people signed a petition saying it's an outdated and brutal form of better taman fans of the sport argue it's one of the oldest traditions of the contrary and should be preserved the regional ban which is the first in mainland spain comes into effect in january. russia might not be quite at the top of a millionaire's list when it comes to choosing where to live but each year increasing numbers of foreigners are moving in and among the new arrivals are c.e.o.'s of large international companies artie's got the nose out of our reports and what they find so alluring about life 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's a fast paced developed city but it still lacks the comforts the expert managers are 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 there's the income tax in russia it's 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 it's the latest man unable to say no e.p. c.e.o. tony hayward in a somewhat musical chairs move mr hayward will replace former b.p.

head robert dudley will move to b.p. headquarters in london the boss what benefits not just the ex-pats from the us 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 catered for including weekends flights back home and of course for russia this is beneficial as well drilling experts culture is very valued because it's to relates cultural growth. 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. catchiness our of our t.v. moscow. and that brings you up to date this hour and up next on our team america's lack of success in military campaigns that have cost thousands of lives of billions

of dollars has harmed us reputation as a role model for democracy and that's according to one outspoken american rap artist who believes the country's image is just a facade. not that long ago. most of us were embracing their new popular president. for some

people. has worn away. general steele. is among the few cutting against the grain 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 since. people have known that the president has been the face of. the states. when we start dealing with the reality. of. this great position you know the people out of government you know people. 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 and

structured 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 come in and said you know anything you can get. but the big star to interrupt you but the reason that 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 call before the storm so to speak i think that obama is a good way to keep people that day i think that his his demeanor is so they call

him the cool president you know it's like he's carved 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 helped 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. i'm saying yes jobs will. get us better health care open more schools for our children like what we see to that we have as a unified and this is our symbol of an occasion we'll just say that. we have to know where the power came from initially came from the people who elect 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. 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 and how it affects. us because on american citizens we have to remember that.

america is this model for democracy you know we've become. 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 in the 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 we're going to morsi 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 said about the children who. economy has poisoned economy forcing us pause and jobs for a second let's talk about the opportunity for children even know when it is there's a hole in their country 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 what is america's nightmare i think america's nightmares 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 this just this you know 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 working with the united states government can't you can't because 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 then i probably need to be with the rest of the spas and. blow up stuff. that no general still thank you very much for sitting down tank you is been a pleasure and thank you.
