commanders in iraq ignored evidence of torture and the murder of civilians these are the major findings from the leak of four hundred thousand secret american military files from the whistle blowing website wiki leaks the data describes widespread brutal torture of detainees by iraqi troops with some document showing american authorities often turning a blind eye the pentagon's condemned what is the largest ever leak of classified documents saying it will only serve to help america's enemies now the files also reveal that sixty six thousand civilians were killed in iraq since the u.s. invaded even though washington had denied it kept any such record the figure doesn't include scores of death during the u.s. it's two major offensives on the city of fallujah in two thousand and four its residents are still fighting the severest consequences of those attacks you may find some of the pictures and policy is reporting upsetting. his friends outside

and fighting for the ball on a football pitch he's here in the family tent fighting a cancer that's eating away at his head and stomach. i collect the splinters of the rocket after exploded whoever showed them to said they were american and contaminated poisoned. after the shrapnel struck sixteen year old money paid a tumor appeared while his father lost a leg in the attack and also the family source of income as a taxi driver. i wonder if any weapons they didn't use against us we can terminate it sometimes i can hardly breathe. iraq is listed with buildings like this that used to be the headquarters of saddam's secret police in two thousand and three several jodan rockets fitted the full effect of those weapons is still being felt today. u.s. marines first bombarded flew just six years ago it came after four employees of the american security company blackwater were killed and the bodies burned the report

showed that after the eight month standoff higher rates of cancer leukemia and infant mortality were found here than in hiroshima and nagasaki after the atom bomb drop in world war two we found that the infant mortality rates compared with egypt . jordan about four or five times. about ten times if you take a country who. in the last few years hundreds of deformed babies have been born in flu just general hospital doctors dubbed them the white phosphorous children. between the late ninety's and two thousand and three we had patients with nervous system malfunctions roughly three times a year at the moment we gave them three such patients a week. this child was born with one eye and with not a single day going past without a new case being registered more and more doctors here are pointing

a finger at the united states that american combat operations caused environmental pollution both the us and british sides admitted that they employed banned weapons . dr abdul alpha lewsey is also a father or at least he was until a year ago when his twelve year old son died of cancer most parents leave their babies in the hospital they're scared by the way they look these babies are doomed to die. and die they do far from the eyes of the world because while flu just streets might today be quiet the city remains cut off from the rest of the country doctors here say they're under pressure to keep quiet. r.t. iraq. r.t. contributor wayne madsen says the wiki leaks revelations show the us knew exactly what was going on in iraq. nothing was done without the approval of of the united states command in iraq so yes i think we're saying the us basically

responsible for the same kinds of crimes that we. allowed iraq to execute saddam hussein and other members of his government for doing and i think it calls into question the whole idea of why we invaded iraq in the first place because the original reason was changed to well he was a bloodthirsty dictator from the fact that he had weapons of mass destruction which he did not have so we replace one brutal regime with a u.s. backed brutal regime i think if this was a fair system of international justice we would see indictments of misters bush and cheney and tony blair and some of the u.s. military commanders in iraq. the british and french have tough years ahead and their anger is growing massive protests are on the way in the u.k. against the deepest cuts as the nineteen twenties and the axing of half

a million jobs all across the channel the french fight against pension reform rages on even though the retirement age rise was approved the late on friday got there you know a lot of our reports from paris. as the saying goes two things in life are certain death and taxes some french people however would like to add another certainty to that their belief that they can force their government to reconsider its radical pension changes that's despite the fact that plans to increase or time age from sixty to sixty two have already been approved by the same . one who wear out here showing our dissatisfaction because i personally am huge demonstration shoulder to shoulder with people who are younger than twenty five or twenty six years old but still have the same attitude to the problem that even while these people fight against what they believe to be a great injustice they're very struggle has brought one of europe's most famous

cities at times to a standstill a beautiful apartment in the heart of paris is anyone's dream but what if getting that dream became impossible through no fault of your own what if getting your apartment done on time depended not on you not on your workers not on your construction or anybody involved but on people standing outside in the streets. victor has his own successful construction business he prides himself on his fast skilled work but recently his projects have fallen behind schedule through no fault of his own. i'm sick and tired of all these strikes and protests of people who really want to work they just work like protesters who are interested only in demonstrations i'm personally not interested in it enough victor isn't the only person feeling this way we cause them to stop the strike today because it's too

disturbing for people going to work to the public transport. the universities there are people preventing the students to go to the. course so we ask everybody to just to just protestant roots of their worlds but just prevent other people to do their work and just trying to to. as a country to block the economy it's. a strange situation in france we don't want them to block in one thousand nine hundred five the french people managed to do rail through protests the previous attempt to change the country's pension system this time however it appears they've not got a choice. critics of the unions who led the charge against sarkozy's pension plans states now time to step back and consider the ongoing protests hurt small and medium businesses the engine of the country's economy while those who are in charge

that you can't touch that and who are ever going to farmers will ship because they would join the taliban be jill carroll it offered his new excuse that is it is up to the afghan government to make a decision let me remind that this excuse would make sense only and when that afghan nation real regain the total so over into for the time being the ever going to government he's neither willing or able to authorize whole war exit cute for the aerial eradication because it was due to the us occupation that corruption and drug proliferation have skyrocketed obviously neither today not tomorrow the united states is not going to deal effectively with the opium eradication until the russian federation real all for a powerful stimulus for the united states to reckon siddur its drug promotion

policy in afghanistan the only way russians can influence u.s. policy regarding that ever going to drugs is to draw a lesson from the pakistan that is to condition the not and supply route from russia to afghanistan for the us and i said forces to make it conditional on their review of the you as drug promotion policy in afghanistan. our military contributors blogs are online for you to watch at r.t. dot com along with more of today's news and analysis and hear some of what's being lined up for you the americans who say they've had enough police brutality which they claim is reaching epidemic proportions and a match in protest. and take a look at just who wants to be a millionaire as a fear super rich kicks off in a moscow have to r.t. dot com for more exclusive cars as well as a u.s.b.

to reduce these global imbalances but to do that america needs to save more america needs to produce more i and we're not going to do that with the current policies in place we need to totally reverse course we need to shrink the size of our government we need higher interest rates in america not low interest rates we need to encourage people to save their money not go deeper into debt and so we can address the imbalances but to continue these failed policies and try to blame the rest of the world for what is inherently an american problem makes no sense well we are all learning to cope with recessionary cutbacks in different ways but not everyone is prepared to stare them in the face are things on us to see a choke and i found some who prefer to dress up the problem. for two years now the world economy in the u.s. has turned into an ocean of horror from many how do you escape your fears by saying employed what if you get fired what are you going to do i'm screwed while some have

been choosing humor to fight off the frightening reality are you afraid of a double dip recession sounds good others ways a little less legal are you afraid of the economy. what do you do to escape reality . i sit in my room and i smoke a lot of weed but many are choosing something completely different as millions of americans are very frightened of the state of the u.s. economy more and more u.s. citizens are trying to escape into the world of fantasy welcome to comic con the world's biggest gathering of comic book fans and site file overs do you feel like this costume protects you from the woods of the u.s. economy. parking ticket my money inside somebody's pocket r t tried on the gear to test its superpowers yeah i definitely do feel very protected from everything can't really see much but i would say several thousand people gathered on a weekday most of these people who i think it was the unemployment office with

last i mean before robin came along you'd sixty eight hundred dollars but it could take both spider-man and superman with some more help from his girl to p.v. us economy out of its recession so that affording something like that would not just seem like magic to most americans and party new york. well now let's look at some of the world's other main news this hour a tease a called break has now claimed more than one hundred ninety larges infection rates rising to with over two thousand others now diagnosed medicines being urgently distributed doctors' war that conditions are ripe for the disease to strike in areas with limited access to clean water part of that is down to the ongoing effects of january's massive earthquake which killed some of three hundred thousand people. a tornado has swept through northern argentina killing at least

locals as they use the ancient stones to decorate their homes nell displaces under protection. oh man says it wasn't a problem to convince construction companies to save the unique site almost instantly an agreement was reached to move the engineering facilities that were supposed to be built here the funding for the preservation project is provided fully by olympe story the state gratian in charge of olympic construction number. would like to turn to say it into an open air museum to make it accessible for cultural terrorism wherever it's important that it will be inside the olympic park which is one of russia's vital territories and it will be visited by people from all over the world smaller findings from the olympic park like these bronze age artifacts from now on don't be on display in sochi is historical museum its personnel preparing for the most significant arrival of new items in decades what

a human voice face to face with the news makers. every month we give you the future we help you understand how we get there and bring the best in science and technology from across russia and around the world. join us technology update on our g. welcome to business this week the government gave details of its five year privatization program the second law of publicly owned russian companies since the end of the soviet union but under her cover reports. the biggest privatized program since the one nine hundred ninety s. it covers the whole range of the state's involvement in business the government plans to put stakes in one thousand nine hundred state firms up for sale globally

but the main goal of the would be to change the investment appeal of these assets to attract private investors and if you will change the structure of ownership of the companies to make them more transparent to be stable and reliable. the government also hopes to patch the hole in the budget edge with the sixty billion dollars it expects to raise among the most notable offerings is the sale of shares in v.t. bank to blow controlling the state will reduce its stake to controlling and the country's biggest lenders burbank and in the national airline and afloat the finance minister believes investor to munge will exceed supply but analysts are more cautious. larger companies the company perhaps already being traded on the market such as. crossness after fourteen few hours. concerning other companies i'm not sure because it would very much

depend on their to give investors which in turn would depend on the way the russian and global economies are proceeding mercer is not the first country to undertake widespread privatization indeed it's a common factor among nearly all developed economies since at one time or another they all had extensively publicly owned companies in countries such as the u.k. the process helped turn large numbers of the population into shareholders however analysts are skeptical this will happen in russia my personal take is that most likely as a government might see some company as it can be also. all very well known names like oil companies all for these shares to the retail investors was a scene that was in this six to brown boss prove it is a bet that i'm not sure that the largest part of this placement torelli target as a route to investors if pushed through successfully the program will alter the

financial landscape in russia although it will continue to be a major player in business the government will have less direct involvement it's hope this will usher in an era of greater transparency as companies become more accountable to their new owners but the business. markets this week of a mixed fortunes on news of the privatization program and corporate data supporting the russian markets truck of dollars vice president gore profile explains the main trends. markets were very volatile very water and the general trend globally as did the markets expecting the release of information on new what if using it from listees then. we saw very good results on the corporate on third quarter results from the united states most companies about eighty five percent reported two very good results well above expectations and probably the

third factor which is very important for russia is that the announcement of a new approach is a problem good news for phone users now russia's anti monopoly service is to find the country's big three mobile providers for setting prices too high the watchdog says n.t.s.b. line and megaphone which have eighty five percent of the market have broken competition law the final total one percent from their annual turnover that's around three million dollars per company they've already agreed to cut terrorists for regional and international roaming. one of russia's top precious metals producers only metal has posted a fifty five percent boost in gold production for the first nine months of twenty ten year on year over silver output during the same period only five percent the company also increased revenue to six hundred fifty five million dollars that's up eighty seven percent. russia will produce around five hundred million tons of oil in twenty ten up one percent on the previous year production rose at roughly the
