so the put a triple bombing in. doesn't call into question whether iraqi forces can keep the peace in the wake of the u.s. troop withdrawal. justice the internet's rise and rush or is giving more people the chance to highlight cases of crime corruption that in the past would have gone unpunished. and 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 surge of suffering as rising repossessions begins by.

coming to you live from the center of moscow this is aussie. well a triple car bombing in baghdad has cast fresh doubt over whether iraqi security forces are able to cope following the official and of u.s. combat operations there at least thirty six people were killed by three blasts in separate parts of the city although fifty thousand american troops remain to assist local forces local people are afraid insurgency 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 it this way out of control 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 it for you brief that

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 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 these trainees are not always the white 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 given you can apply for the hands of these. people be tough

to take back this season yeah. maybe. but there is there is so there are bombs missing weapons in stone. 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 that. 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 wise to the challenge is still here to be seen police r.t. baghdad. with blogging on the rise anyone these days can try their hand and 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 could remain as out 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 what desktops laptops phones and p.t.a.'s internet in 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. 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 halls of residence i have to study to be a builder. but if bush's case was taken up charity organization music and its founder get him on see what made a difference to their case was a message you posted online to the president. with almost dry posted my letter to someone from the presidents administration called and asked for details of this case i know they got in touch with fascist college because almost immediately afterwards the coolidge called and told pasha to withdraw his application and basically get the hell out they were scared that the authorities got involved then the media picked up this 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

a cop or its for days but the information they provided allowed bloggers to find them in a matter of hours names. 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 division of this spike in online use means it's not just journalists who can cover information so what does this say about russia's fourth estate if things go as an associate of mr this doesn't mean that journalists of bad and bloggers are 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 at a speed print t.v.

media simply cannot compete. 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. well the founder of the online news website just scored dot ru says the interaction between bloggers and a mainstream outlets is a healthy sign for modern media. there is a particle and varies a way and that particle can be a part of the wave when you are a blogger and you are a particle but when there is a huge thing happening you are just one of the many many many particles together to 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 old reddit crimes and corruption issues raised by bloggers and they have become they have become. maybe a medium smiddy of 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. you are with. and there is still a lot more ahead for you in this program including proud. celebrations in the
