11:06 am

11:07 am
russia so does the number of victims disfigured or even killed while for the find and inexperienced don't. want to be an astronaut here's what it takes to get your suit your helmet a frictionless environment let's go to space join r.t. for an out of this world experience of the place where america made its first steps towards the. afghan president hamid karzai wants to kick out private security companies and replace them with local security forces the contractors he worked mainly for western companies do everything from guarding supply convoys to personal security to diplomats a businessman a government spokesman says the companies will be ordered to disband within four months when all this comes as the u.s. increases its military presence in afghanistan all to discuss this in more detail
11:08 am
all of joined in the director of the center for peace and liberty at the independent is achieved many thanks for speaking to us just now if they then the last year calls i said the firms would be phased out by late twenty eleven so why do you think today he's suddenly changed his mind what's the wrong. well i think you know he is probably playing the nationalist card to periodical a because the u.s. occupation of afghanistan is unpopular with the people he appears to push back and do these things and he may actually be using this as a front to get rid of a lot of the big security companies that are afghan and not foreign because they're like gangs in certain regions of the country they run the country they're sort of like warlords so he may be using this as an attempt to. get at those afghan gangs by just banning all private. security companies both
11:09 am
public and. well both domestic and foreign and this is simply a whole life threatening is the deadline and of days in the mountains for months realistic. well no because they protect convoys they protect defense facilities they protect embassies they are a lot of them there are twenty four thousand contractors so it's really not feasible to phase them out that way and of course nato forces and afghan police and military forces are stretched thin so they need these private contractors and that's why they're there unfortunately some of them have gotten out of hand not only the domestic ones but the foreign ones. as well so i think there is a problem there but he may be unrealistic he said he was going to do this before as you mentioned and he never did it so i think periodical he says things that he
11:10 am
can't follow through on so i'm not sure i think he's probably playing the nationalist card maybe to get rid of some of the try to get rid of some of the foreign contractors but in reality battling these private security companies that many of whom aren't registered with the government and operate like gangs around the country but what about what like to run the fixations of this or western companies that operate in afghanistan we're not i don't think it's play that so can a foreign embassies they don't like for example really rely on afghan police to keep them secure once these private operations that go on. you know i don't think they can because i think they're highly skilled the people that they've hired and afghans are still training them as are training the police and the army as well but they just don't have the skill levels that they're going to have so i'm not i'm interested to see how this plays out because they really need these people and the
11:11 am
war can't go on without them so they're really going to have to finesse. this decree or ignore it or some there's something i'm not sure what they'll do but the korea is really impossible to carry out any time soon and i'm stephen jay you've mentioned that you think how much pain the nationalists cause here and you've also ilija the fact that many of these will almost all of these companies do actually have a track record shooting afghan civilians for example so do you think that the situation will actually be more stable in the country if they do in fact leave in four months which she also suggested is unlikely. well i think actually most of them may not but there are certain ones that are huge and they're not registered with the government of afghanistan and there is a problem there certainly i think but if they get rid of everybody in the timeframe that he says there will be more instability because a lot of these. convoys that they use the embassies it's outer of the military
11:12 am
structures and buildings need to be guarded because there's lots of violence and certainly the taliban would take advantage of that to increase their attacks on vulnerable places and also some of these convoys have been accused of these. security companies have been accused of paying to let the taliban let their convoys go through the taliban territory so. you know that we have this corruption in there as well but but they get rid of them i think there's probably going to be more taliban attacks so all eyes continue to focus on the as the evolving situation in afghanistan for now i mean director of the center piece and they perceive the independent institute many thanks to. now not true will be launching competition with the promise of miracles from plastic
11:13 am
surgeons in russia women and some men flocking to hundreds of private clinics to in homes then but for some patients who ignore all the risks they're not enjoying new wrinkle free faces but suffering in this legal battles with inexperience. 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 of banaszak i've had to those jobs liposuction my lips repressed and hands months 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 a search breast enlargement and the quest of a coming body beautiful three perfect surgery becoming more and more popular and
11:14 am
more of 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 made by the. board i have a twenty one year old friend who is a fan of pamela anderson so she could hit 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
11:15 am
to train as a plastic surgeon in russia if you're already a surgeon you just need to take a month long course in order to get a license to practice if this doctor comes from a completely different kind of surgery they need much much longer training which we just don't see happening in. russia and that's what causes problems for one twenty seven year old girl who entered a mosque a clinic recently for a routine liposuction the risk cost her her life when she had a suspected allergic reaction was done to local and. the legal repercussions in these situations are often and. more than just a group of 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
11:16 am
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 oversight russians might soon start thinking twice about the risks involved the fall getting under the knife. a. visa free entry for all about one player from the russian government which is putting its weight behind the bid to host the planet's biggest football event the world cup international officials are in moscow to inspect the plans for the twenty eighteen tournament stacie bevins where to find out what russia has been doing to sway the future delegation. well russia is willing and able to fulfill all promises laid out and it's a bid that's according to prime minister better putin who met with the people delegation in moscow on tuesday and he says they're also ready to fill promises
11:17 am
that are not laid out a bit one of those guarantees is the visa three temporary stay an opportunity please we provided fifo with guarantees from our government and we are ready to provide the organization with additional guarantees such as visa free entry for all the players and fans at the time of the event and free travel between cities hosting the world cup. now russia has three major points and it's that are first of all the bad days you have six million people who are players of the game of football they're big supporters of it so fan base is doubly number one also in eastern europe a country has never a host at the world cup so that could also be in russia's favor at thirty first interested in helping countries that have never hosted to develop and having the games the world cup in the country would definitely help fifo reach that goal now that russia's bid also has the attention of the u.k.
11:18 am
media you have british press quoting officials in that country saying that russia is probably the strongest competitor when it comes to sealing a world cup bid now the nation has a couple of days to woo the feeds i delegation as it heads to sochi head to preside for more on the russian bid and its chances is my colleague a cutter we never chose but to do with brazil with. and sold africa. could not should be next it's hopes of posting the twenty eighteen world cup a facing a key test this week as fifa inspectors arrive to assess the bit also in the running are england australia the united states and two june visits from spain and portugal and gold room and the netherlands but so the africa hosting this year's tournament and brazil in four years time it still would be europe's turn will be
11:19 am
next in twenty eighteen and many see russia's chances and. the chances are pretty good that russia can succeed and a lot of people say maybe you know i got more political decision than the football decision to give to a big country like russia or the biggest country in the world for a chance through the whole school come. through between right also believes russia's bid is strong and is helping to make it even see. he's the director of a commercial to be shown to the jewelry group it was the author of the suit two winter olympics can pay in each shots he showed russia as he loves it and the beach one incredible new stadia incredible new locations in terms of from some petersburg to sochi and kaliningrad and of course moscow you know there's a tremendous in our tourism spec to it on top of the games and again it's the first time that it will have been held in europe and there's also a huge base of football fans in eastern europe who've never had the opportunity to
11:20 am
show how much they love the game at home. to see the game until the government is ready to pay the russians beat includes designs for over a dozen new state of the art studio worth up to ten billion dollars worth of teen brand new stadiums are under construction currently it's only moscow's luzhniki which fully matches people's standards and has had experience of costing major international events but in fact the very need to build new infrastructure could be russia's major selling point the other contenders already have infrastructure in place but fever is interested in expanding it across the continent and beyond class moscow has successfully coped with the logistical challenges of several big tournaments in the past the people who are running this. are the same people who
11:21 am
organized. the you for cup champion finals in two thousand lose nikki between man u. and chelsea the fans were allowed in without visas for the first time and they all came in two different ports and went very very smoothly and i think it will have a great time so people you know knew very clearly that russia was really you know when it comes to organizing big international events like that. russia's progression for the twenty fourteen sochi olympics is likely to come under scrutiny by three foot two and with the first results appearing to be impressive success could mean another winning goal for russia in its world cup a bit you couldn't agree to r t. huntsville alabama played a unique role in the u.s. mission to the mood and still provides a unique insight into the space race today it pose that extraordinary collection of flight hardware that offers people the chance to step into astral shoes literally
