doesn't call into question whether iraqi forces can keep the peace in the wake of the u.s. troop withdrawal. just the internet's rise in russia is giving more people the chance to highlight cases of crime and corruption in the past would have gone unpunished. 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 no home no hope we report on the edge of suffering is rising begin to bite. and in business german conglomerate.

talks to join the natural gas pipeline according to sources close to the project more than twenty minutes. worldwide news from the center of moscow this is a very warm welcome. a triple car bombing in baghdad has cost fresh doubt 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 american troops remain to assist local forces local people are afraid insurgency and instability will only get worse. dark and dangerous and body armor does little to protect against

the fact that they're not welcome here they're doing a dis about a patrol through one of the iraqi neighborhoods trying to prevent counterattack fire this is a bombs team who 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 then we actually go and execute these type missions that we're on now but the u.s. in bishan to have a fully functioning iraqi security force did not protect safire ismail's husband four years ago he disappeared without a trace. he called me and said he was coming to pick me up i said the situation is really bad don't come but he said now i have to come. safire's certain husbands did and all the families of tens of thousands of iraqis who've also disappeared since two thousand and three human rights organizations put some of the blame with the local security forces whose trainees are not always the white candidates for the

job a lot of them they have come from illiterate you know all. around 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 given you can apply for the kinds of these. people being the effect that this needs to be something yeah. they need that but there is a certain vehicles car bombs missing which was installed and i think. and it's a far cry from what is needed. 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. but with the increase of violence in iraq in recent weeks. the need for a competent domestic security force has never been greater but whether or not the

u.s. and iraq can rise to the challenge is still here to be seen police the r r t baghdad . with blogging on the rise anyone these days can try their hand on 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 artie's gotten a lot of reports on how russian bloggers are helping stop crime corruption and bullying. parents and students said this man had 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 entertainment 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 clear example of how the internet has transformed russia but should it isn't there's an orphan a master chess player a math genius and guaranteed state benefits he's missing the start of the academic here due to the demands of a construction company that helps fund the school. i want to be an i.t. specialist but the school said that if i want to study here and live in that holes of residence i have to study to be a builder. but it was bush's case was taken on a charity organization and its founder get him and see what made a difference to their case was a message posted online to the president. with almost dry posted my letter someone from the president's administration called and asked for details of this case i know they got in touch. passes college because almost immediately afterwards the call is called and told pasha to withdraw his application and basically get the

hell out they were scared there the authorities got involved and the media picked up the story and the college was forced to stop its unlawful actions they now allow pasha to attend lectures misty refused to give him a room. when a bunch of kids vandalized a car in broad daylight in a remote part of central russia police couldn't find the culprit for days but the information they provided allowed bloggers to find them in a matter of hours names addresses and license plates included so why is russia's online community becoming suddenly so influential you know what it is. 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 work it's a community in a much faster one than any other. but the by deer's of this spike in online use means it's not just journalists who can cover information so what does this say

about russia's for the state of things there isn't this the sharpness through this doesn't mean that journalists of bad and bloggers a better or that the only notion of free speech exists online it's simply a matter of choice we no longer want to watch someone else's run down we want to and can make our own lives the internet allows us to choose what we want to know about it at a speed print or t.v. media simply cannot compete with maybe this isn't the beginning of the end of newspapers and television but it's definitely competition of a global kind cashew nuts are about r t nasca and the founder of the online news website are you says the interaction between bloggers and the mainstream is a healthy sign for a modern media. there is a particle and varies a way and that particle can be a part of the way when you are a blogger and you are a particle but when there is a you which thing happening you are just one of the many many many particles together create a wave so what we're seeing to today is that more and more waves are there in

the blogosphere and the information the focus is on the on the crucial events so even if some of the bloggers want to promote themselves together as a whole the blogosphere acts as a as the public sphere it drives attention and you know it gives results like so many there were so many already crimes and corruption issues raised by bloggers and they have because they have become. maybe a means media viruses and you know people give more information on the issue and i don't think that it is far into the future that we will have even foster communication between and foster interaction between media and bloggers and even now media are becoming more and more interested in picking up the stories that

bloggers popularized the role of media is still crucial in a sense that we have to verify what bloggers are saying and feed it back into the blogosphere and this is how the media system of the twenty first century works. and it's now just approaching the ten minute mark of the hour here in moscow and there's a lot more still ahead in the program for you including proud to be. celebrations in the public. which is now marking twenty years since it declared independence from georgia. and five u.s. soldiers are accused of killing afghan civilians as part of a sick game our military analyst says it's a propaganda coup for the taliban. as the mortgage crisis cripples america some estimates say more than three hundred thousand people got warnings about foreclosures in august alone with the high unemployment rate continuing across the country an increasing number of risk of losing their properties and i
