the worst violence in iraq since the u.s. officially ended its military campaign there were raised as doubts over whether local forces can ensure security. justice online we look at how the internet in russia is becoming the new front line in the fight for fairness by exposing crime and corruption that mainstream media ignore. and with high foreclosure and pointed rates in the queue while showing no signs of abating marty revisit so far as camp to find out what options are left for the homeless.

it's nine pm in moscow and this is r t coming to you live with me and he said now a first up this hour violence continues to rage in iraq after three car bombings killed at least thirty six people in baghdad and fallujah following the official end of u.s. combat operations fifty thousand american troops remain in the country to train local security forces but it's clear reports barely helps to make local residents and the safer. dark and dangerous and body on the 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 who stayed behind the mission to finding training support and backup to the iraqi police when they get to our level we go over our operations order 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 they used to be. to have

a fully functioning iraqi security force to not protect safire it just means husband four years ago he disappeared without a trace on it 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 the 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 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 some of them they are just the from the tribes and declines 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 stopped at a checkpoint like this it's really suffered here a few months of training that prepares them the search vehicles for car bombs

missing weapons and stone and i did. and it's a far cry from what is needed. they are not untrained but the training they receive is not enough for 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 greater but whether or not the u.s. and iraq can wise to the challenge is too good to be seen. r.t. baghdad. well the u.s. claims it's fighting for freedom with its wars in the muslim world but has this made the people in these islamic countries see democracy as the greater good that's the topic of the latest discussion in cross talk coming your way in just over two hours time. from ocean of democracy. i mean the united states is founded on the

idea that 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 other world because the united states of america has waged wars on afghanistan on and supports is a which is a part of democracy a democracy exclusively for the oppressive community that stole the lands of the palestinians. in sweden's general election the center right ruling coalition beat the social democrat led opposition but fell three seats sort of an outright majority the far

right party sweden democrats which urges limits on immigration to the enter parliament for the first time their candidate said they were attacked and denied freedom of speech before sunday's poll michael jensen member of the danish part of the mint for the liberal party says the establishment unwillingness to discuss immigration has resulted in an unfair election and. we have an example right now where none of these fabulous parties and none of these 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 blanket drawn all over. this media on all this really staff this month so this should be a wake up call to all of the all party scene and the democrats who are not allowed to take part in the debates on t.v. the last debate and they weren't even allowed to run their commercial ads on private solutions as all the other parties were in bed with god i don't believe

that the elections were fair and therefore have to be decided that i'll take the issue up in the council of europe where prove that mark and sweden are founding members tried to discuss it and see how we can make sure that deal. also not only free but also fair in the future. and stormier has officially launched its countdown to entry into the eurozone on january the first next year that's despite the crisis the currency has been facing and the fact that it's stony it would be the poorest country in the eurozone well professor. of tal and university 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. and and still. stand and economy economy is right now sacrified. croche

for joining. many people they think about about the future of aero zone and according to my understanding the european union is not any more. current than two types of countries we see we financial discipline and strong financial discipline in this means that. might happen that. will collapse or will form two different kind of arrow zones we see weak and strong financial discipline. russian prime minister vladimir putin has taken a helicopter ride to see how the north stream gas pipeline is being laid into the seabed the solitaire of the biggest pipe playing vessel in the world is slowly going through the baltic sea to reach germany the first part of the line will be twelve hundred kilometers long and is expected to be finished by twenty eleven but

by bible secure russia's gas deliveries to european countries including germany the u.k. . you're watching live from moscow still to come for you this hour the struggle. to solve set your marks twenty years since its declaration of independence from georgia we look back at what it took for the republic to be recognized. now 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 bully gang artie's catherine those are reports on russia's new wave of internet justice. 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 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 an example of how the looting has transformed russia . russia duties in there's 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 in. 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 officials this case was taken on by a charity organization and its founder to get him and say what made a difference to their case was

a message he posted online to the president. of course but after i posted my letter someone from the president's administration called and asked for details of this case i know they got in touch with cautious college because almost immediately afterwards the college called and told pasha to withdraw exactly and basically get the hell out they were scared that the authorities involved then the media picked up the 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 becoming suddenly so influential beautiful or changed at this. 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 and a much faster one than any other. but the producer 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 make our own version of the internet allows us to choose what we want to know about the speeds 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. kasserine as our r.t.e. nasca. well the founder of the online news website chaska dot bruce as the are you rather says the interaction between bloggers and the mainstream is a healthy sign for modern media there is

a particle and varies away and the particle can be a part of the way when you are a blogger you are a bar to go but when there is a huge thing happening you are just one of the many many many a part it goes together to create a wave so what we're seeing to today is that more and more waves are there you have the blogosphere and the information the focus is on the crucial events so even if some of the bloggers want to promote themselves so gather as a whole the blogosphere acts as a as the public sphere it drives attention and you know it gives the results there were so many already crimes and corruption issues raised by bloggers and they have become made me the role of the 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 u.s. mortgage crisis cuts deep real estate firm say over a million americans may lose their homes to foreclosure this year in august alone some thirty three hundred thousand were served foreclosure warnings as unemployment figures stubbornly hover near ten percent on this to see a chart in the reports on how a camp just outside new york has become a place some people now reluctantly call home. america the prosperous america that your dishes and america the broke the picture perfect homes and these homes are a twenty minute drive away from one another and how did i end up here probably through my own mistakes in life r.t.e. revisits tent city a homeless camp tough to wait in the woods of new jersey there are at least forty people whose tragic destinies have led them to call this place home. since we were here last time in the winter things have changed more tense have appeared some

people have come and gone but 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 are there really no other options left for us no remarks has been a newspaper handler for most of her life while i worked for the new york times and i wanted the power in a brain aneurysm in two stroke so i was almost dead. i was in a coma for two months it. was an awful three months since then no reason has given up hope of finding a job for those still trying to find work the task is close to impossible would be unemployment rate in the u.s. holding steady at more than nine and a half percent for more than a year now or would have been ten years experience chief looking job not. a new kind job i look i have to be a position you know but no no i don't find them out. you know.

very very difficult not applying job and those who are able to find work make less than the minimum wage and i would have told they speak up. by bugs. reverend steve brigham set up a camp for the homeless four years ago this is their our church bell on sunday about twelve o'clock we ring this to let the whole camp know there were about ready to have our service. the reverend runs the place keeping it in order. setting up a shower. and helping with whatever donations he can get local authorities have been disturbed by this camp's existence and have tried to shut the place down people think of the homeless as people that are sometimes questionable in their

character but we've had there's more problems outside of the homeless camp than inside of the camp the only option offered by local officials has been beds at a local psychiatric institution among the mentally unstable the community didn't go for it it's more than they can handle already living a tough enough life it's it's just not a place to live everyone here tells us a better place for them is just around the corner but soon to go to the other very soon. very soon and so far no luck with not much help from the outside world all they can do is hope a better life is awaiting them somewhere. and stacy churkin r.t. new jersey. well on our you tube channel you can check out my previous report on that homeless camp as well as many other news stories we're covering here on our team.
