year the report by the un also shows a fifty five percent increase in the deaths of children among the twelve hundred afghans killed during this period it comes as u.s. led forces are increasing their presence in the country and now reports it's often civilians who suffer. amount of afghan civilian children that are dying as a result of this war has increased fifty five percent according to the united nations the taliban and other militants are responsible for three quarters of the civilian deaths that have taken place in the past six months but tied to that you want officials say that the taliban and other militants have stepped up their game in terms of using i.e. . suicide suicide attacks and being involved in this us nation attempts and that is a result of more foreign troops coming into their country so one has provoked the other and our foreign troops more attacks by the taliban or the militants and that

the it is the afghan civilians according to this report women and children who are actually paying the price of this war it's basically understood according to this u.n. report that once foreign troops move into an area that have the taliban and militants will move in and violence will ensue and subsequent deaths will take place so at this point the afghan civilians you know understandably are intimidated are living in. a war torn area for decades and are not so quick to align with the foreign troops in their country that are to blame for the taliban and militants attacking the civilians and the surrounding areas where people are as a result of an occupation in the country. reporting dear old reality and who shall believe the actual number of casualties in afghanistan is much higher because the u.n. failed to take into account one of the main causes of death. you nama your. mission

you know. recent reports. was touted as the wake up call for the u.n. mission in afghanistan however for different reasons it should be more fair to check for the u.s. mission in afghanistan i would like to draw your attention to a couple of things but first i would strongly recommend you nama to expand it metrics of civilian casualties in afghanistan beyond the country and to include two most important numbers of civilian death that is civilian skill in afghanistan and beyond by going to drugs in fact if you include the opium fields and cannot be fields they keel all rolled more then all other civilian casualties taken together within the whole nine years. and the second most important

metrics that has to be incorporated in the next report by the united nations should include the civilians killed outside of ghana stand by the main export from afghanistan over all the narcotics in afghanistan already in slaved more than two millions of afghans within the country and they're probably keel even more than thirty thousand russians who have been in the aisle aided by the afghan heroin and you know us you have to add up more than five million pakistani direct addicks the overall result of the u.s. led mission is that it kills morsi really an afghan brock's under the connivance of the u.s. political leadership then in other military hostilities whether from the u.s. side all from their military opponents from pakistan and within afghanistan

that i hope you nama officials will take into consideration and we'll incorporate into the next sam i n u o afghan civilian casualties a report. argy spoke to british veteran journalist john pilger who thinks america is tricking the world by saying it's pulling out of wars in iraq and afghanistan the full version of this interview is coming up in about an hour. this announcement by obama. would be the end of the combat mission next two years norm since then that's another example of the of the media simply taking a face value something that told by authorities in fact there's going to be something like ninety four bases left and sixty thousand troops and so called that is an increase in the number of most of them raise they call them contractors so

far from getting out there's a great expression by a great irish investigative journalist called claude coburn never believe anything until it's officially denied we should apply that to all statements like that. for many countries the summer's extreme weather of floods and droughts has led to poor harvest and a grain shortage but in india millions of people are going hungry for different reasons are just current saying investigates. india is home to work quarter of the world's starving people and one third of its malnourished children here in the village of daraa poured in eastern india had nothing to give us for days yes a valid general hungry child cries all the time there is no food to feed here how can you survive like this to give the child quite a just me to drink water yet the government has record amounts of surplus stocks

fifty nine million tons of wheat and rice it does have a huge public distribution system that provides free food to families below the poverty line but corruption and complex bureaucracy means the poorest of the poor often don't make it on the list most of us are actually i'm not much we are poor people desperate for food to eat our children go to sleep hungry names are not on the government's poverty list and we didn't get any food growing from the government can we do ultimately we would have no choice but to commit suicide. with people starving the recent images of piles of wheat rotting at a storage facility erupted into a major political issue in the state of punjab it was discovered forty nine thousand tons of food green had perished despite taking precautions there is every likelihood as we have in our household there are no where you are boarding your cup of tea for me because likelihood. can spin on the table. and if you see

a. green between her and the. losses be more. abundant i'm standing in one of the largest food storage depos in the capital new delhi impermanent where houses such as this would fix roofs the grain is safe but when green are stored temporary like this with just a plastic cover to keep out the rain it can last only one year and with the government keeping seventeen million tons of wheat and rice stored like this because it simply doesn't have enough permanent warehouses you can see this. the problem experts see about ten million tons enough to feed hundred forty million people for a month has been through at least one monsoon and is at risk of rotting if this green would be used instead it could help those most in need but distributing it will cost one billion dollars and the government cannot afford to add to its food subsidy that doesn't cover is good news for his family who depend on the hand.

we cannot afford to buy rice for our family whatever food grain the government has is allowing to run its warehouses the ration cards the issue don't reach the actual poor whatever race is distributed to the local dealer for us is instead sold by him in the open market. with global wheat prices rising due to the drought in russia if india loses its sweep stocks the poor storage this good fuel the price surge that would hit the poor they need the hardest got in seeing are to the. now some more of world news in brief for you chinese authorities have landslides and accounts are province of taking over seven hundred lives rescue workers are still fighting to find survivors trapped beneath the rubble for three days heavy rains triggered the delusion of rugs and earth crushing at least three villages relief efforts have been hampered by destroyed roads and bridges. the presidents of colombia and

commodity prices across the whole range of food stuffs this time around supply is much better and obviously given the financial crisis globally demand is a lot weaker so we haven't got the imbalance between demand and supply that we had over the period in two thousand and seven. even with the better supply demand balance globally the two thousand and eight experience which sought after. those governments very or the role speculation please in global prices and very sensitive about the need to protect their customers in russia the government is likely to look for market solutions unlike two thousand and eight price freeze on specific items had a muted effect. i don't dismiss the possibility. off the top limit for prices on crucial food items like bread butter milk the effect of this measure is very limited that's why there will be no limit for the wide range of goods due to the fact that two years ago there was good disappeared from shelves and once prices
