the war in afghanistan of ricci's and year turned online videos posted by nato soldiers undermine the coalition's reputation and drum up support for the taliban. fears of a return to riots and rest once again in kyrgyzstan days before parliamentary election due to be held in the troubled country. is r t j jurors told media boston america slams international news channels including this one and says the u.s. needs to shout louder in the global media war. and in business russian business is may soon have to ensure the seller is still this stock in case of bankruptcy more in twenty minutes.

from the russian capital this is a very warm welcome to the war in afghanistan already the longest in u.s. history has entered its tenth year and there's little sign of an end on the seventh of october two thousand and one operation enduring freedom launched with massive air raids by u.s. and british bombers and cruise missiles since then u.s. nato casualties now more than two thousand have caused a public support plummet washington insists it will start to withdraw all forces from afghanistan next year but until then they're relying on a troop increase to turn around the fight against the taliban but as artie's reports the way the war is conducted often fuels the. surgeon's.

house goes up in smoke and with a justified or not tempers fly in the afghan capital culprits soldiers can be heard saying fantastic before posting the clip on the internet he ran here if by burning the house accidentally a copy of the koran is housed that can be easily used as a tactic or as a means of acting more young. religious history with them to go and join the taliban and al qaeda and it seems to be working more and more islamic extremist websites are posting direct means to videos put up on the web by the soldiers themselves in blogs and social networking sites it's the enemy who's now wanted to help in the taliban fight its cause they can

easily be copied by al qaeda and the taliban they. really make. the us forces fail to be the eclipse you want. you want to hang. out in some cases the us soldiers videos of prankish and childish othertimes down much criminal or extremely provocative in this clip us soldiers burn the bodies of good 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 us so you'd sometimes home connection is so unreliable that every afternoon he's here watching videos that make him angry one 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 along 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 snow it's fast enough to keep people down. very. easy for people to watch these videos put up by the american soldiers because the most popular videos are of the first page of you tube and also with one guy sees a video he tells his friend to get in less than a decade ago when the taliban was in power home computers were banned they were only three places in kabul that had internet but now the global jihadists understand that sometimes an e-mail might just be myself then the sword father wants a new mail and so the taliban send message by by mobile phone and. make body but a good video clips the word scenes always has

a way of getting out of one people not to see this kind of thing in the internet because every time you see this consumers in the life what the taliban picking up on a form of communication it once banned it now forced on coalition troops to censor themselves r.t. travel. any chance of pre-election calm in kyrgyzstan has been shattered fresh unrest has broken out after an angry mob storm but headquarters of a leading political party in the capital bishkek no one was injured but there are fears of more violence to come security is now being beefed up across the country ahead of sunday's general election the poll aims to establish our parliamentary democracy in critical stand the country's comically being run by an interim government led by a president roosevelt and by over could a stand remains ethnically split with a large minority and has yet to recover from the deadly violence that claimed

hundreds of lives this summer you go to preschool for ports. but this woman asked us not to reveal her identity she says it's still not seen in june just like many other ethnically divided city the lost everything no other being forced to survive taking any work they can fight. us then lead the way there is no stability there is still tension no one trusts the government and how could we often what happened there is a massive could already left others are looking for ways how to get out bring down shops and destroyed pharmacies in the band and cafes are a common sight in august second largest city in june it fell into complete chaos armed gangs of mainly young men destroyed shops set cars ablaze and burned down houses officially hundreds were killed several thousand were injured by the time the country's interim government managed to take control of the situation

mobilizing the army for months all it will be a quarters are only now beginning to recover and what doesn't everything was burned here everybody is fleeing abroad to look for jobs but we must rebuild before it's called construction is being carried out with the sounds of political education feeling in the streets like the rest of the country is getting ready for the parliamentary election four years from the twenty nine parties taking port are spread both in the touched me in the cube is populated areas and here. this is one of the big districts off 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 the 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 see the only help they are getting is from the red cross. about one hundred people still together in this for. them to just do so called josh brown brigades. and we're putting them on of the species officially over three thousand businesses were affected by june's violence many fear more unrest is ahead some say they've been getting s.m.s. messages calling on them to ignore the vote the parliamentary election was announced six months ago after the president. and his government were all thrown by thousands of protesters and the opposition to control of the country many analysts say the interim government has so far feel to provide the needed stability especially here in the self where most of the voters don't know what each of the twenty parties even stands for is going off r g. q.

and coming up for you soon in the program unsolved slaying of a human rights champion. to head down to human rights activists are demanding just. to me alice that isn't just a few moments from. the u.s. might claim to be a champion of freedom of speech but not it seems if it's coming from russia iran venezuela or china they have the media organization which oversees america's international broadcasting says it must up its game to compact the rise of what it called media enemies including not see. this. 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've 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 there are an enemy so that's just not right maybe mr isaacson really did not mean to

a fan 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 their 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 is 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. they more than the budget of r t iran's press t.v. and as well as their list or 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 man that raised the alert with some freedom of speech advocates somebody who says that truth is always on the united states side is a propagandist and not a. journalist and i think that's bad it's a bad example for other countries when that when 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 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 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

it seems washington is still getting used to the increasing volume for media voices giving a fresh perspective on world issues kind of chicken or t. washington d.c. . now don't forget to log on to our web site. that's where you'll find many of the stories we're covering and much much more and here are some of what's out there right now that might. president dmitri medvedev is visiting cyprus the mediterranean island has a warm welcome to head of state the first ever official for a russian leader to get more insight into his historic trip to the politics section of our website r.t. dot com. and if you plan on spending this winter in europe stock up on the warm clothes weather forecasters predicted to freeze all but millennium is a few months away.

investigators hunting those behind the murder of russian journalist. now have a number of new suspects gunned down in her apartment block in moscow four years ago. in the public's attention have a sense. to alice a bit more details. it's the fourth anniversary of sky's murder now people have gathered in moscow city in the center that is to commemorate the day tell us what so what's happening now. well it's three minutes for just behind me here in the center of moscow minutes of silence was held in memory of on the pull it called sky that's ninety minutes the exact moment that on the was brutally gunned down outside parliament the minister was in full the memorial service attended by former

colleagues family members fellow human rights activists and people who just loved on the a similar service is taking place safe in st petersburg and of course this is the fourth time that this is happens. every year since had death four years ago at three minutes pulse on the seventh of october people have gathered in the center of town tremendous on the political sky. eyeless are i'm sorry are authorities any closer to a country in the killer at this point. well interestingly yesterday russian investigators are now that they've identified a number of suspected accomplices who they believe a hiding across europe so they've also for the help of their fellow european police colleagues to help through sounds and find these people however family members in human rights activists are growing increasingly frustrated at the pace of the investigation we all feel we is all of this saying to the police you have to do more the police are saying they're doing everything they can they have detained

a number of people in connection with the crime they will simply the services of intelligence agencies and interpol to track down the person who they believe pulled the trigger how whether the mosque to mind the person to orchestrate this killing they do at mit is still very much at large however they do now say that they all convinced that whoever organized the killing did so from outside of russia and that the killing was in some way linked. both as a journalist and as a human rights activist on this besides a political career as an investigative journalist as you were saying she was a human rights activist as well thomas more of. course she was fearless high profile vocal a controversial outspoken critic of the ministration and during the last opponents of her life she was most particularly involved in exposing human rights abuses in the volatile north caucasus republics of chechnya particularly but also dug stunning. and former colleagues of hers at the newspaper believe that that was

linked. there she was involved in exposing abuses both within the military forces and within the militants groups themselves but then she was also involved in exposing the corruption among the police force and was directly involved in the imprisonment of several police members she was also involved in exposing corruption within the defense ministry itself but then against all of that there was a huge number of people who love down there who she helped namely the mothers of several sold. does he help battle their cases in court for all that as well as how many german this to get devon she was awarded with several prestigious awards from both within russia run from abroad they were of course are not of acknowledgments to a woman he spent her life helping to improve the lives of all there were people as my colleagues on the boy who explains. denis makes no secret he dislikes journalists to intrusive to simplistic to manipulative and they started to describe

typical according to polls at least a third of russians distrust what they read in newspapers or see on t.v. . on time 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 help him find justice in two thousand and one he was badly bitten first by thugs then by the russian police to whom he'd turn for help and when it seemed that everything in his country had failed him one reporter came to his grave it was on the political scale question quest for our tragedy was widely publicized in youth papers and on t.v. but only anna politkovskaya touched upon the real life problems of the people she wrote about strong psychological pressure from the author of the thames to open criminal cases against us no journalist is willing to take the risk of the bringing those things out to the public i say that is based on my nine year experience with

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 pollute costco's mark recchi reporting had led to. a 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 and his main goal was to help people not just write a piece about them. well she's often credited for rekindling people's faith in justice four years later police cars because 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 his daughter who over the years has grown a striking resemblance of her mother says the family is still hopeful when your son was born my view was 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 if you don't believe it has also become a journalist but she admits that her dedication to the profession is nowhere near her mother's there is number one priority is your four year old daughter anna. people who knew on the political of gas station had zero tolerance for thorough malazan and official the issue continues to defy them even after her death take this plot for example it was not out of the building we're showing of a wish or was killed in violation of a quote the behavior of such commemorations within five years of a person that there are less scottish us have few reasons to appreciate her reporting and i don't believe her rather three were but god is still here attributing her life a condemnation of. a fellow worker r.t.

moscow. russia is in talks with iran over the return of payment for an advanced missile defense system that will no longer be supplied because of un restrictions the total value of the contract is around eight hundred million dollars the ban on the supplies of the long range missiles had been confirmed by president dmitri medvedev iran's defense minister called the move a breach of contract negotiations with moscow are still ongoing yeah the islamic republic plans to design its own systems instead russia signed a deal to supply iran with the s three hundred rockets in two thousand and seven but none that were ever delivered. ok now here with the latest business news. hello and a very warm welcome to the business news russia and cyprus have signed an increment eliminating double taxation between the two countries the deal has been reached by

russian president dmitry medvedev who's visiting cyprus aiming to develop closer and more transparent financial ties the president met the leaders of the country which is the biggest foreign investor in russia that's because so many russian companies are registered there but that may change as russia tightens up its tax roles that in the political explains. cyprus is a small island in the mediterranean and it's russia's biggest foreign investor however most of the capital flowing into russia is not separate it's russian want to come back home from an offshore tax haven easy come easy go with minimal taxes for business top russian tycoon operating through firms registered on cyprus it's been previously so on call protest that it was added to russia's black list threatening tax penalties for companies registered there in new double taxation agreement is expected to remove cyprus from the. torah's list box will boost

information exchange between the two tax authorities but will mean a lot for structuring of russian businesses until most of. putting more thoughtful so broad in terms of structuring of their management structure study in in terms of. explaining them we've been looking at what worked behind the fish transaction what is the business out for i think this will be a very important change in their minds. because of my analysts say no less than half of the russian real estate business resides in cyprus a common practice has been to register a separate offshore firm as the owner of a russian real estate project it makes it easier to sell the construction by selling as part of the offshore company while in russia this kind of deal would be taxed twenty percent in cyprus it's not subject to jupiter analysts say developers

will do everything possible to transfer operations to after all charlotte cations before the new agreement comes in force in two thousand and fourteen. they will have to study new jurisdictions and develop new schemes but the opportunities that offshore companies provide for the real estate business for example so the developers will devote the time and effort to look for new loopholes russia's finance ministry is to begin work with other european tax friendly countries on greater transparency and information exchange that leaves places such as the cayman islands on behalf of which may soon become the nearest destinations to offer a safe harbor from the tax authorities that you're not going to cover business r.t. . russian businesses may soon have to ensure the salaries of this stuff in case of bank are seen that sound of the terms of a new dropped bill to be introduced by the economic ministry unpaid wages and one.
