washington over the afghan withdrawal date the nato troop commander and the u.s. to fan secretary appear to be at odds over the deadline on sunday general david petraeus said he may advise president obama not to go ahead with july two thousand and eleven date if he believes it's the wrong time defense secretary robert gates however insists the pull out deadline is seven stone july was the worst month for coalition troops deaths in afghanistan since the war began frederick william author of the bestseller. book century of war told r.t. that instability in central asia is actually in america's interests. comments about pulling out by july of next year are simply ludicrous as petraeus indicated the nato troops and certainly the u.s. force command are not at all planning to pull off because the afghan occupation you have to understand it has nothing to do or very little to do with

afghanistan or say it has to do with russia it has to do with china it has to do with the central asian countries and spreading what some of called a thirty years war scenario to prevent the independent development economically of china russia and the a c o shanghai cooperation states so this is all politics on the part of obama about pulling up next july. and last a journalist wayne madsen says janell pétrus comments are an indicator of obama's policy including those concerning the twenty eleven withdrawal well you know one thing i find it's really rich is petraeus has interviews with all the corporate media. with meet the press n.b.c. david gregory the washington times whereas his predecessor general mcchrystal gives an interview to rolling stone albeit under some weird circumstances with them being trapped in belgium but he's fired for his comments and petraeus his

comments he wouldn't be making these without some sort of a wink and nod and nudge nudge from the white house you're not going to have this general making public comments to the media without some sort of clearance from the white house. well the us rapper immortal technique believes america has compromised the south around the world by not practicing what a preacher is and his full interview is coming your way in about twenty minutes but here's a preview of. america went around proselytizing. democracy to all parts of the world saying you know we should should have a democracy that people can be in charge and when the people saw that the same prognosticator of the prophet of democracy was sitting there supporting these brutal dictatorships they said well who else has something on the table.

plastic surgeries enjoying a boom in russia with beauty seekers of all ages flocking to hundreds of private clinics the end result however are sometimes far from desired and instead of enjoying their new faces they are facing and less legal battles with inexperienced and underqualified surgeons and i find some of the pictures in sarah firth report disturbing. the ugly side of the city despite being one of the most unregulated areas in russian health care plastic surgery is seeing a boom in demand the idealists have been i've had to those jobs liposuction my lips repressed and huntsman's and older forth when i make money with this work when people call me crazy i answer that in my house in florence i don't care what they think plastic surgery clinics easy to find in most cases and procedures cost less

than you might think like. breast enlargement. the quest to becoming body beautiful three perfect surgery becoming more and more popular and more affordable can be even bigger with the real cost of going and the knife could be. far from people being put off by the dangers the plastic surgery crowd is getting younger by the. board i have a twenty one year old friend who is a fan of pamela anderson so she copied her huge breasts that's a personal business i can't judge but then she also had a facelift at twenty one of course that i don't support it's this that causes a negative attitude towards plastic surgery but i blame the surgeon who gave a feast lift to a twenty one year old russia stands fifth a month countries with the highest level of plastic surgery operations being a relatively new market many private clinics of any popped up in the last decade and there are still very few experienced professionals. through the system of

medical training different in russia and western countries it takes up to ten years to train as a plastic surgeon in russia if you are already a surgeon you just need to take a month long course in order to get a license to practice but if this doctor comes from a completely different kind of surgery they need much much longer training which we just don't see happening. and that's what causes problems. for one twenty seven year old girl who entered a clinic recently for a routine liposuction the risk cost her her life when she had a suspected allergic reaction was. the legal repercussions in these situations often and. more of. a group there are no clear controls or sanctions doctors avoid punishment and a large number of cases one reason is that medical documentation submitted to the judge or the investigation officers are often falsified also patients who often sign consent forms with off thinking of the risks unfortunately such circumstances

make it hard to ensure an objective trial today there is still no official statistics on the number of institutions providing plastic surgery or the exact data on how many and what kind of operations are being conducted. with recent tragic cases and little official a the side russians might soon start thinking twice about the risks involved the forgetting under the knife. sarah fares. let's now take a look at some other stories from around the world and iraqi officials say up to fifty nine people have been killed and over one hundred injured in the suicide bombing in baghdad the attack targeted people queuing outside an army recruitment center police say one several soldiers were among the dead and it comes as the u.s. is set to and its combat operations in iraq this month. the world bank splurged almost nine hundred million dollars to aid pakistan's
