it is a.t.m. of the russian capital you're watching r t with me marina josh welcome to the program now the war in afghanistan today enters its tenth year with a little sign of an a and extra american troops may now be in place but public support for the campaign is slipping rapidly with about two thousand nato troops killed in the conflict it's a critical time for the u.s. led campaign as it struggles to turn around the fight against the taliban ahead of the expected withdrawal of international forces next year afghan officials continue to back the coalition's efforts but even they admit that after all this time there's still no tangible result and as artie's post reports the online and takes of american soldiers are hardly helping matters. goes up in smoke and with a justified or not tempers fly in the afghan capital. culprits soldiers who can be

out in some cases soldiers videos of prankish and childish other times downright criminal or extremely provocative in this clip u.s. soldiers burn the bodies of dead muslims facing mecca today in afghanistan the internet is becoming more and more popular but look around it's no surprise that in a place like this there's still only a few people who have access to it so you'd sometimes home connection is so unreliable that every afternoon here watching videos that make an angry mob of the only color we see hundreds of videos about afghanistan nato new americans are talking about human rights you can see the proof online it's alone so the. internet cafes all the buzz in downtown kabul hundred have been has managed the small and overcrowded cafe for the past two years and although the connection is slow. it's fast enough to keep people logged on. related movements and it's easy

for people to watch these videos put up by the american soldiers because the most popular videos are on the first page of you tube also when one guy sees a video he tells his friends about the gang get in the video and this than a decade ago when the taliban wasn't our home computers were banned there were only three places in kabul that had internet but now the global jihadists understand that sometimes an e-mail might just be marsha then the sword followed once a new e-mail and. by a mobile phone. make value but a good loops the word it seems always has a way of easing out good people not to see this kind of thing in the internet because everything you see is consumed in the life but the television picking up on the form of communication it once banned it now thoughts on coalition troops to

censor themselves point of view our team called. the u.s. my claim to be a champion of freedom of speech but not it seems if it's coming from russia around venezuela or china the head of the media organization which oversees america's international broadcasting says it must up its game to combat the rise of what it called autocratic t.v. stations including this one granted you can has more. it's a common belief on capitol hill that the best way to raise money from congress is to scare them walter isaacson the head of a government agency that manages u.s. international broadcasting apparently wants a lot of money the cost to fight america's enemies in the media which he identifies as he ran venezuela russia and china we can't allow ourselves to be out communicated by our enemies there's that freedom house report that reveals that today's autocratic leaders are investing billions of dollars in media resources to

influence the global opinion you've got russia today iran's press t.v. venezuela's telos and of course china as a launching international broadcasting twenty four hour news channels correspondents around the world spence portably set aside six to ten billion dollars we got to go to capitol hill with that number to expand their overseas media operations to me it sounded like a declaration of information war but later mr isaacson backtracked i don't take a russia or r t as an enemy and certainly did not mean to imply that they're an enemy so that's just not right maybe mr isaacson really did not mean to offend russia or china it's all a pitch for more money from congress which he's trying to kind of appeal to by saying that other countries are spending more on international communications gear is really the buzzword that's used to try to generate money for the defense

department a cia intelligence agencies and now for international broadcasting but getting the u.s. message across this costly there goes that mr walter isaacson is heading is called broadcasting board of governors it includes radio stations voice of america one of them and a fairly unpopular middle eastern t.v. channel on all this the board spends more than seven hundred fifty million dollars and it's why. a more than the budget of r t iran's press t.v. and then as well as there was for combined and maybe money does not really make up for global media clout mr isaacson says that it's truthfulness that will make the difference and in the and the truth is on our side and if that's the one that raised the alert with some freedom of speech advocates somebody says that truth is always on the united states side is a propagandist and not a. journalist and i think that's bad it sets

a bad example for other countries on that and they say that because obviously other countries have their perspective many times u.s. media is slanted toward the united states even the private media and the credibility of the broadcasting board of governors was under even more scrutiny when reports came out about the white house influence on the b.b.c. reporting after the iranian presidential election and some experts say american broadcasters that once used to be a powerful voice in the international media are now facing a crisis the problem that they are facing is that the messages they have. called the world are supposed to work is not resonating it's not getting traction as people say in the media their message simply is not working as well as he used to and they don't really have a very good explanation of why that is the case walter isaacson readily admits the important diplomatic role that international broadcasters are playing but how

diplomatic is it to hang an enemy attack on a country that your president is calling a partner who is in the case of china your main data holder he's completely in conflict with the obama administration which is trying to make better relations with russia and china and now he's calling russia and china an enemy this from a diplomatic standpoint was very very foolish in how do you say it in russian when somebody steps in the common or. seems washington they still getting used to the increasing volume for media voices giving fresh perspective on world issues kind of chicken or t. washington d.c. . and coming up later in the program here in r t a journalist murder still unsolved four years after she was gunned down activists demand russian police do more to find the killer. and russia's new high

tech so yes rocket is ready to blast off into orbit find out how cosmonauts are preparing for a flight that i assess that's underway. russian investigators are seeking more time to probe the murder of journalist anna politkovskaya she was gunned down in her apartment block in moscow four years ago made her reputation reporting on lawlessness in russia's southern republic of chechnya her family and human rights activists have hit out at police for not doing enough to find her killer reports. dennis makes no secret that he dislikes journalists to intrusive too simplistic to manipulative and this attitude is quite typical according to polls at least a third of russians distrust what they read in newspapers or see on t.v. from a list. of journalists and i'm tired of going over things that have no impact on society again and again ironically it was

a journalist that helped hume find justice in two thousand and one he was badly bitten first by thugs then by the russian police to whom he turned for how and when it seemed that everything in his country had failed him one reporter came to his grave it was on the political question. oh it was widely publicized in newspapers and on t.v. but only on the but it caused the real life problems of the people she wrote about strong psychological pressure from the authorities the involvement of sacred trust in the police the entrance to open criminal cases against journalists is willing to take the risk of bringing those things out to the public that story. in the norway goes the other eventually how danny's to win a case against the russian federation and the european court of human rights one of many that political scares mark recchi reporting had led to. the journalist who deals with people's pain as part of their job and tries to actually help people

rather than just reflect their stories should not be something out of the ordinary we have too many objective journalists who only litter the information on a never did that her main goal was to help people not just write a piece about them a journalist work does not and once the story is done that's what she believed. while she's often credited for rekindling people's faith in justice four years later political skills only murder still remains unpunished russia's investigative committee says the case is very challenging but the search for the killers and masterminds is still ongoing. because of his daughter hera who over the years has grown a striking resemblance of her mother says the family is still hopeful. was one of these we still have hope of course but the way the investigation is going and the way the trial went we can tell that the investigators haven't made much progress i can't see anything that would indicate we're getting closer to the truth they don't

hours from the. port are spread both in the. populated areas and here this is one of the districts of the city as you can see it was almost completely destroyed by the violence and a similar picture can be seen in a dozen other parts of reconstruction here is in full swing despite the lack of money and people and for most of the locals this is a race against time to rebuild their homes before the bitter winter hits and that for them is a far greater importance than any election. state funding is very limited if in fact there is any many local c. the only help they are getting is from the red cross. called nine hundred people injured still together in this. them to just do so called work program. just people who are unemployed from the. events took place and also
