for the pull out of a triple bombing in baghdad and dozens dead bring doubts over whether all rocky forces in managed in the wake of the withdrawal of u.s. combat. instant karma the internet's rising rochelle allowing more people to highlight problems like crime and corruption that in the past would have gone on. many of the people living here have been here for months if not years and the question that many of them ask themselves over and over again is why are we still here r t visits a homeless camp in the woods of new jersey to find out what options are left for those who have lost everything to the crisis.

nine am in moscow mad trezeguet good to have you with us here on r t our top story a triple car bombing in baghdad has provoked fresh doubts over whether iraqi security forces are able to cope following the official end of u.s. combat operations there at least thirty six people were killed by the three blasts in separate parts of the city although fifty thousand u.s. troops remain to assist local forces locals are afraid insurgency and instability will only get worse. dark and dangerous and body armor it does little to protect against the fact that they're not welcome here they're doing a dismount a patrol through one of the iraqi neighborhoods trying to prevent counterattack fire this is a bombs team he stayed behind the mission providing training support and backup to the iraqi police when they get to our level we go over our operations order and planning for the actual missions we're going to do then we do

a pretty brief and we actually go and execute these type missions that we're on now but the u.s. invasion to have a fully functioning iraqi security force did not protect safira it just means husband four years ago he disappeared without a trace and it's. called me and said he was coming to beat me i said the situation is really bad don't come but he said now i have to say that here so far as certain husbands did as all the families of tens of thousands of iraqis who've also disappeared since two thousand and three human rights organizations but some of the blame with the local security forces is trainees are not always the might candidates for the job a lot of them they have come from illiterate you know by ground zero or some of them they are just the from the tribes and clans some of them just because they are part of the political parties militias and so on and the problem is compounded by the limited training they've given you can apply for them in front of these. people

being up to the checkpoint like this needs to be suffered here as the same old months of training that appears to be certain they're full of car bombs missing weapons and stones and i think. and it's a far cry from what is needed what. they are not untrained but the training they receive is not enough the americans only thought to create an iraqi army in two thousand and four by then it was too late because the terrorists had already infiltrated the. but with the increase of violence in iraq in recent weeks. the need for a competent domestic security force has never been great but whether or not the u.s. and iraq can rise to the challenge is to get to be seen. on t.v. baghdad. with the rise of blogging anyone these days can try their hand as an investigative journalist publishing stories that might be ignored by the mainstream media their reports on the internet can quickly find an audience and even go global

parties caterina's are reports on how russian bloggers are helping stop crime corruption and even bullying. parents and students said this man could bully children on more than one occasion because he was the head of the local administration people were afraid to speak out desktops laptops phones and p.t.a.'s internet and russia is becoming much more available and much more than just meant for many it has become a virtual speaker's corner where their voice will not only be heard but is guaranteed to echo across the country within hours this particular video which brought about his dismissal is a pure example of how the move has transformed russia. russia but isn't this an orphan a master chess player a math genius and guaranteed state benefits he's missing the start of the academic year due to the demands of a construction company that helps fund the school. i want to be

information they provided allowed bloggers to find them in a matter of hours names. says and license plates included so why is russia's online community becoming suddenly so influential beautiful which is just the suggestion first of all it's evidence of a technological progress the internet is becoming more and more available and because it's available more and more people are using it for things other than where it's a community by in a much faster one than any other and you presume that the by digits this spike in online use means it's not just journalists who can uncover information so what does this say about russia's fourth the state of the news doesn't associate mr this doesn't mean that journalists have been bloggers a better or that the only notion of free speech exists online it's simply a matter of choice you no longer want to watch someone else's rundown we want and can make the internet allows us to choose what we want to know about it a speed print t.v. media simply cannot compete. maybe this isn't the beginning of the end of

u.s. forces in afghanistan or at the center of a new scandal in which five soldiers were accused of killing civilians as part of the game this comes as coalition forces battling the taliban are trying to win the support of the local population artie's military atlas of many khrushchev says these kinds of stories involving u.s. troops will provide another recruitment boost for the insurgents. one of the basic assumptions behind the u.s. strategy all of us forces plus up in afghanistan these to replicate the surge in iraq under the previous administration and in effect the u.s. secretary of defense robert gates is the only hand over from the previous administration to replicate this same type of search which was exit q did on the general betray us in iraq and to make a remake of this strategy in afghanistan while the u.s. commanders and politicians talk a lot about to what extent the u.s.

military experience in iraq could be transferable to afghanistan the negative experience in iraq has been largely ignored it seems like some gys developed a horrible habit during that tour of duty in iraq that is shooting civilians for fun and when they got it transferred to afghanistan one of those loose cannons set up a kill team in stryker brigade in kandahar who right now are under investigation for killing afghan civilians just for sports as a result it has delivered and irreparable damage to the u.s. image abroad and specifically created yet another tool for taliban recruiting against the foreign occupation in afghanistan and there's more perspective from afghanistan later here on our t.v. outspoken war critic matthew hoses hunting down the taliban is a waste of u.s.

military and financial resources you can catch the full interview with him in the next hour here's a sneak peek. one of the larger problems i think with us foreign policy particular national security policies are not consistent if they're if we are in afghanistan because of al qaeda and if there are only fifty to one hundred members of al qaeda in afghanistan then why are we pulling out of iraq where there are one thousand to two thousand members why do we see and we need to keep. one hundred thousand troops in afghanistan when al qaida is operations come out of somalia and yemen so that consistency is not there in our in our foreign policy particularly in our now security policy and that's very worrisome to me because you don't have consistency if you don't have good critical thought if you don't have a degree of intellectual honesty in your policymaking you are going to have bad policy and you're going to have things like iraq or you're going to find yourself nine years into afghanistan entangled in a civil war spending one hundred billion dollars a year for
