the worst violence in iraq since the u.s. officially ended its military campaign raises over whether local forces can ensure security. justice online we look at how the internet in russia is becoming a new frontline in the fight. corruption the mainstream media ignored. with high foreclosure on employment rights in the u.s. showing no signs of abating revisits come to find out what options are left for them.

we're coming to you live from moscow this is it's good to have you with us well violence continues to rage in iraq after three car bombings killed at least thirty six people in baghdad. following the official end of u.s. combat operations fifty thousand american troops remain in the country to train local security forces but as. reports said barely helps to make local residents any safer. dark and dangerous and body armor it 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. invasion to have

a fully functioning iraqi security force did not protect safire ismail's husband four years ago he disappeared without a trace and it's. 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 say safire's certain husbands did as are 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 mite 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 the kinds of these. people being up to the checkpoint like this needs to be some of the few months of training

that appears to be the search there full of car bombs missing weapons and stones and that they are 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 yet to be seen police r.t. baghdad. but u.s. claims it is fighting for freedom with its wars in the muslim world but has this made the people in these islamic countries see democracy as a greater good that is the topic of the latest discussion and cross talk that's coming up later this hour. promotion of democracy i mean the united states is

founded on the idea that democracy is the best political system for ensuring the rights of both the majority and the minority in a country and so forth but that there can be many different translations the word democracy has actually become a dirty word in much of the arab world because they're nice there's america has wars on afghanistan on and support is a which is and are part of the democracy and the mako see exclusively for the opera missive community that still all the lands of the palestinians. in sweden's general election center right the ruling coalition beat the social democrat led off but fell three seats short of an outright majority the far right

party sweden democrats which has limits on immigration will enter parliament for the first time their candidates say they were attacked and deny freedom of speech before sunday's poll michael jensen a member of the danish parliament for the liberal party says the establishment's on the willingness to discuss immigration has resulted in an unfair election. we have an example right now where none of the established parties and none of these fabulous media in sweden like to discuss it because they feel it's like you know it's not political correct and it's like a plan could draw on all over. three. media on all this really staff this month so this should be a wake up call to all of the all parties seem in that light that this reagan democrats were not allowed to take part in the debates on public t.v. the last debate and they weren't even allowed to run to commercial ads on private televisions as all the other parties for and that we don't believe that the

elections were fair and therefore have decided that i'll take the issue up in the council of europe where profound mark and sweden are founding members to try to discuss it and see how we can make sure that the election since we can also not only free but also fair in the future of study one has officially launched its countdown to entry into the eurozone on generate the next year despite the crisis the currency has been facing and the time the dystonia would be the poorest country in the eurozone professor even. universities says the move isn't for the sake of the economy. this is very much a political step we will china in the political union which wants to be much bigger a union and and still in the stone and economy economy is right now sacrified. the crows for joining that are also

many people they think about about the future of arizona and according to my understanding the european union is not any more. currency there are two types of countries we say we are national to simply strong financial discipline in this means that. might happen is that arrow zone will collapse or will form two different kind of arrow zones we see weak and strong financial know this plane you are watching r.t. and still to come for you this hour the struggle for sovereignty south of thirty eight months twenty years since its declaration of independence from georgia you know back and what it took for the republic to be used.

well with blogs in russia now running into the millions the internet has become a major force by highlighting issues often ignored by mainstream media people now get a global audience and results when they report cases of crime corruption and bullying . is not about reports on russia's new wave of internet justice. parents and students said this man had bully children on more than one occasion but 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. russia biddies and 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 if bush's case was taken on by a charity organization music and its founder get him and say what made a difference to their case was a message he posted online to the president this lyrical after i posted my letter to someone from the president's administration called and asked for details of this case i know they got in touch with clashes college because almost immediately afterwards the coolidge called and told pasha to withdraw exact location and basically get the hell out they were scared that if 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 and still 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 culprits 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 big. me suddenly so influential to what age of the survey that i first of all it's evidence of a technological progress if you think 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 and a much faster one than any other and we've been joined at the by 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. mr this doesn't mean that journalists are bad and 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 to and can make our own the internet allows us to choose what we want to know about a speed print 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. the founder of the online news website just scored dot are you as the interaction between bloggers and the mainstream is a healthy sign from modern media. there is a particle and varies a way and the particle can be a part of the way when you are a blogger and you are a bar to go 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 crucial events so even if some of the bloggers want to promote themselves together as a whole the blogosphere acts as the public sphere it drives attention and you know it gives results there were so many already crimes and corruption issues raised by bloggers and they have become midhir means 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. well as the mortgage crisis cuts deep real estate from say over a million americans may lose their homes to foreclosure this year in august i learned some three hundred thousand was served with foreclosure warnings as unemployment figures stubbornly hope a near ten percent. honest thoughts on the reports on how
