islamic center to be built in warsaw was welcomed by the nation's thirty thousand strong minority construction of a new second mosque in warsaw began last year according to blue brains it is supposed to be three times as large as the initial islamic center but unlike the first mosque which was sponsored by the local muslim community this one was financed from abroad. and. the fact that construction money came from saudi arabia enraged several political movements in poland they staged protests urging the government to stop what they call islam isolation of the country the man behind the rally says it is the fear of terrorism that draws people to the streets we believe that this organisers. which is going to build this mosque on you are so nice connect it with a generation of islamic organizations near all the other organizations which are

milestone of nine years making it the longest in u.s. history with more american troops now in place public support for the campaign is slipping rapidly and our teams kellen forward reports many u.s. war veterans say surviving the conflict is just part of about. it is the longest war in u.s. history and arguably the most ambiguous the united states invaded afghanistan under the guise of finding osama bin laden today more than ninety four thousand u.s. troops maintain a permanent presence there twenty two year old brock mackintosh was one of them i was one of the more optimistic soldiers who. you know i got on the ground in afghanistan and i wanted to. participate in this liberation of afghans and defending the country from terrorism and all that nonsense and the on the ground experience plea contradicted all the pretty preconceived notions that i had when i entered the country. and. what tends to happen with

a lot of soldiers not all soldiers but certainly with me is. you you reach a point where it's no longer about. defense or liberation or the constitution or anything like that it's just about getting home alive and being able to to marry your fiance or to hold your baby that was born while you're away or take your daughter fishing for the first time or to be in an environment where where. it's not normal to be calm naaman indifferent to the sound of mortars and rockets crashing around your tents mackintosh and other veterans took to the streets in a six mile march to protest the ongoing wars in iraq and afghanistan they departed from walter reed army medical center where combat veterans are treated for physical and psychological trauma america's longest war has seen relatively few combat deaths but returning veterans say surviving is just part of the battle many are returning to places and prepared or unwilling to help them with debilitating

physical wounds and deep psychological trauma i am a survivor of military sexual trauma and. i never really having to do back to back to point it's never really gave me. a way to recover. i had another incident at the end of my deployment in which i was sexually assaulted and i never ordered it because i didn't think. anything would happen based on my first incident and because of a lower crewman many soldiers are redeployed several times that i'd already been diagnosed with combat stress of traumatic brain injury the post medic stress disorder and i was on psychotropic drugs so for me to go back you know that shouldn't even be an option what victory means in afghanistan is equally ambiguous for afghan expatriates on the outside looking in for both sides go a lot of people of course yes and as if we were. for united states. for safety united states yes. for the people over again in the one thousand two

hundred fifteen u.s. soldiers have been killed in afghanistan along with an estimated fourteen thousand to thirty four thousand afghan civilians but it is hard to imagine how america's longest and most ambiguous war will be remembered here and cast in stone among so many other feeling for hearts even washington d.c. . was the size of time for the u.s. led campaign in afghanistan ahead of the expected withdrawal of international forces next year but security expert james carafano says the u.s. will only leave the country when the violence decreases. nobody thinks that announcing a date to begin the withdrawal of u.s. troops was a good idea the president himself has actually backed off and said look we're going to do things based on the conditions on the ground the announcement of the withdrawal date was purely for domestic political purposes it was interpreted by our friends and our enemies as a statement of of being unclear resolve on the on the part of the united states.

president has actually made the task of nato in afghanistan harder by establishing the state. but i think the reality is is that the the number of troops on the ground and the pace of their withdrawal if we believe our president is going to be dictated on the conditions on the ground that u.s. troops are going to stay there and they're going only going to begin to withdraw once the afghan people have increased their capacity to defend and protect themselves from the taliban and the reason why violence went up is because people were going out and going after the bad guys so the fact that you're actually seeing violence increase and everybody predicted that general petraeus particularly said look we're going to go and we're going to take back lands where the taliban are in there beheading people there are terrorizing people and we're going to go and we're going to fight and kick them out so of course the levels of violence will go up and the hand of russia sent in are contacts agency says the years long u.s. campaign in afghanistan has actually stalled to find against drugs in the country.

do. the nine years of the u.s. campaign in afghanistan choose. whose let's jones to destroy the narcotics business only the government ruling the country based on the population supports consoled the drugs problem when americans say you can't leave the prisons without the income giving assigned to the going to food to keep out of the opium business because those without cash return to the time of month for support but this is just an excuse. and you get a full interview with the head of russia's and their products agency on our website at thirty dot com. now pakistani forces are still avoiding direct confrontation with the taliban who are threatening u.s. soldiers in neighboring afghanistan that's according to a white house report r.t. is military contributors as america must story thank its attitude towards pakistan before it can get a breakthrough in its fight against the taliban a month ago during an interview to veterans today i got

a question what i would advise to the white house for getting the u.s. policy in afghanistan which i gave an ambiguous answer when it comes to afghanistan think about pakistan get serious or get out on the date of the ninth anniversary of the u.s. invasion to afghanistan their white house as usual leaked the latest report to regarding the pakistani role in the u.s. occupation of afghanistan. the conclusion the u.s. has to revelle in its attitude towards pakistan and get serious about pakistan sabotaging its efforts well whether it's a conclusion a surprise or just a coincidence with my advice one month ago i don't know you tell me. also take a look at some other stories from around the world and toxic red chemical sludge

a new sat and run i will have. now russia and side for his side an agreement eliminating a double taxation between the two countries deal has been raised by russia's president is visiting cyprus aiming to develop close to a more transparent financial. of course the taxes are still low here but they already been implemented no zero taxation in cyprus but there was a couple of questions one including the disclosure of information about the company and second about particular purchase of the real estate in russia. the result so it's just happened historically in the russian business not only partly for the reason of taxation partly for the reason of providing additional security for investment. in cyprus i think. we can change it very quickly so i think number one is to. get more investment from five percent to russia in cyprus or one of the largest investor in russia and i

think gradually the russian business will start over to move to russia but at the end of the day if we have a normal tax that tax regime would have enormous chief information i think very much melissa. and the future of russia's largest mining companies to be decided in a special it general meeting being held in two weeks time there is nickel has been gripped. between key shareholders. and that even important into ross so you know edward said as the details. the shock waves are still spreading from nearest annual meeting back in june interest with a twenty five percent stake gained four seats on the board while you sell with a slightly larger stake managed to get honest we then broke a truce in which the two shareholders had agreed not to attempt to gain control of the valuable nickel producer since then there have been claims from both the new regulations legal action and proposals from both sides to buy their out. also to

see metals management is too close to interest specifically they want a bigger dividend payout to shareholders and if you can't invest in your projects you have to return the money to the shareholders there's no reason for the management to. enjoy the big cash pile that is. has to put it onto the show whole those tours are going to invest in new projects themselves if the management is not able to do so very simple corporate governance professional management that's what this stands for and we do believe those issues also preserve while there was a company from current sorts a bit until sixty billion dollars at least twice what the next eighteen months risk denies it's involved boardroom the company says it needs the money to restart through ations which were put on hold when global downturn. but we're working on it in a straight carry not fun calculation works for that final decision is not you know
