3:00 pm
the worst violence in iraq since the u.s. officially ended its military campaign there raises doubts 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 for fairness by exposing crime and corruption that mainstream media ignores. and with high foreclosure and unemployment rates in the u.s. so showing no signs of abating argy revisits so far as camp to find out what options are left for the homeless. it's eleven pm in moscow when this is are coming to you live with me and he said
3:01 pm
now a first stop 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 it barely helps to make local residents and the safer. dark and dangerous and body armor does little to protect against the fact that they're not welcome here we're doing it this way out of control through one of the iraqi neighborhoods trying to prevent counterattack fire this is a bomb his team has stayed behind the mission providing training support and backup to the iraqi police when they get to our level we go over 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 safire ismail's husband
3:02 pm
four years ago he disappeared without a trace. he called me and said he was coming to beat me i said the situation is really bad on camp but he said now i have to come here safire's certain husbands did and all the families of tens of thousands of iraqis have also disappeared since two thousand and three human rights organizations put some of the blame with the local security forces 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 defense of these. people being stopped at the checkpoint like this that he suffered here a few months of training that appears to be the search vehicles for car bombs
3:03 pm
missing with ansto that i did. 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 the . but with the increase of violence in iraq can we. weeks the need for a competent domestic security force has never been great but whether or not the u.s. and iraq to the challenge is too good to be seen. on t.v. baghdad. well the u.s. claims 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's the topic of the latest debate in cross talk coming your way later this hour. the promotion of democracy i mean the united states is founded on the idea that that democracy is the best political system for ensuring the rights
3:04 pm
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 they're not there's america has waged wars on afghanistan on and supports is a which is a part of the democracy a democracy exclusively for the oppressive community the stool the lands of the palestinians. and. the. rau over israel's nuclear activities is expected to dominate this year's general conference of the international atomic energy agency which is opened in vienna arab
3:05 pm
countries have proposed a resolution on israel's nuclear program but the u.s. and e.u. member states are against it saying it could undermine middle east peace talks or paul ingram executive director of the british american security information council says israel is using double standards on the issue of nonproliferation. israel has believed to be anywhere between eighty and two hundred nuclear weapons already and we believe a development program for fusion nuclear weapons and submarine base launched their weapons as well as the existing air launched nuclear weapons and missile. warheads on missiles it's a very substantial but well developed nuclear arsenal that has been in israel's possession since we believe the late one nine hundred sixty s. so yes on the surface it is a very double double standard the israelis and the americans would point to the
3:06 pm
fact that the iranians have made a very public commitment in the nonproliferation treaty not to acquire nuclear weapons where israel is perfectly legally able to develop its arsenal but. the legal defense and indeed the defense that israel develop nuclear weapons a while ago is hardly a defense in terms of justice and understanding the i.a.e.a. is hands are tied here because the i.a.e.a. is there to to. reinforce the obligations of nonproliferation treaty member states israel is not a member of the nonproliferation treaty has no obligation as such to open its facilities to the agency and so it's very difficult for the agency to oblige israel to take part of course israel's use of the nonproliferation treaty to try to
3:07 pm
to try to put pressure on on iran is is quite extraordinary given that it's not a member itself and has not and has not accepted its obligations. its readers general of action the center right ruling coalition beat the social democrat that opposition but short of an outright. majority the far right party sweden democrats which urges limits on immigration will enter part of the mint for the first time some of their candidates said they were attacked and denied freedom of speech before sunday's poll michael jensen member of the danish parliament for the liberal party says the establishment unwillingness to discuss immigration has resulted in unfair election. 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 politically correct and it's like a. drone all over. this media and all this really fabulous moment so this
3:08 pm
should be a wake up call to all the all parties seem in that light the 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 their commercial ads on private televisions 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 proof that mark and sweden our founding members tried to discuss it and see how we can make sure that deal should. also not only free but also fair in the future. there with our live from moscow still to come this hour the struggle for some pretty itself to 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. but first with blogs and russia now running into the millions the internet has become a major force by highlighting issues often ignored by mainstream media people now

3:11 pm
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. it was. 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 because of 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. 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 you no longer want to watch someone else's rundown we want to
3:12 pm
and can make our own the internet allows us to choose what we want to know about 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. well the founder of the online news website chaska dot ru says the interaction between bloggers and the mainstream is a healthy sign from modern media. there is a particle and there is a way and that 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 part it goes 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 so gather as
3:13 pm
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 old reddit crimes and corruption issues raised by bloggers and they have become major means they're all of media 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 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 three hundred thousand were served with foreclosure warnings as unemployment figures stubbornly hover near ten percent or so he's honest 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 the

3:16 pm
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 and it will 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 so soon just going to be a lot of very soon. very soon so far no luck with not much
