on news from russia and around the world this is. good to have you with us this russian icebreaker hurrying to save the fleet of vessels stranded off the country's east coast several ships have been locked in ice for days in the boat with some five hundred people on board. has this report. three vessels were stuck in the ice on thursday and after that the country's transport ministry has warned the sailors about the weather conditions india nonetheless another vessel still had it in the direction of the icy waters and was also stuck and that is why the ice breakers that were initially had to release the three stuck on thursday had to change their direction to the one stuck on monday as it was in the most dangerous situation as it was being dragged by the ice towards the coast meanwhile prime minister vladimir

putin is monitoring the situation and its promise to help the sailors he's spoken to the country's transport minister who reported on the situation from mr putin over the phone has spoken to both captains over the trapped vessels and the ice breakers that are heading to release them just to give you an idea how difficult the weather conditions in the area are at the moment ice is about two meters thick and initially a smaller icebreaker of thirteen thousand horsepower was. released at three vessels but it couldn't get through the icy water so another one three times more powerful one had to be sent down to help them and according to the russian transport ministry the vessels will be released on wednesday morning g.m.t. the crew members were in no danger from the start as they have about seventy five days worth of food and energy supplies they have water they have everything they need but experts are saying that said the rescue mission might take a little bit longer as another very strong cycling is heading over those waters and

it's going to bring strong and heavy winds in the area so it might slow down the rescue mission a little bit but in the worst scenario for how the copters of the russia's emergency ministry are on standby to evacuate the people from the vessels if that is needed. because of that. massive leaks of secret files of recently being shaking many governments and israel is no exception for the nation's army the problem appears to come from its own ranks with soldiers posting secrets on social networks . the israeli defense forces struggle to keep it skeletons in the closet. the israeli army showing off its cyber unit telling the world's media how it connects the nation by phone radio and internet during war time there are a lot of. the communication ours is that we are preparing ourselves.

for those threats but perhaps the i.d.f. should look closer to home israeli army secrets are beaming around the world some deliberate some unwittingly and they're coming from the inside now with just one click anything and everything that a few years ago might have been off limits is available to millions of people some . israeli colonel been sea group received this threat in the post it accuses him of killing children in gaza his name is on a website listing the phone numbers and other personal details of his radio soldiers involved in the last gaza war he's worried they're now floating around cyberspace they have in the. in the side. i don't think that this is for facebook or from my space for stuff like this i think this is insane a form of them but it's not just deliberately the connected generation finds it hard not to cross the line and that's a major military headache we're a high tech internet service society and of course the generation of people who are

serving in the military or young people they are the most high tech internet savvy of all just like for me israeli soldier even our visual who updated her facebook profile with pictures of herself in uniform posing in front of blindfolded palestinians and i'm it's tell us to much as i did nothing i have nothing to be sorry about the whole thing's been blown out of proportion not only on the list like the treasure the same people in handcuffs and why can't i see these really army was quick to condemn but the damage was done tens of thousands around the world saw the pictures before the i.d.f. could react as an officer and commander i'm disgusted by such acts but as and i. spokesperson i can assure you that this act in no way shape or form reflects the spirit of the idea our ethical code to which we all aspire these soldiers spend their army service keeping track of what's happening online but keeping a lid on the own colleagues is proving to be a cyber bashful too far people are expected to. behave with common sense and

they're also not supposed to use their facebook to you know show themselves their army or not it was supposed to have pictures of yourself up in uniform especially not on a base secrecy has always been a top priority for military forces but whereas in the past it might have meant hiding documents. today the challenge is that much bigger. is wrong. this is r.t. coming to you live from the russian capital still ahead for you this hour a much bigger problem some experts say the world health organization is underestimating the death rate from malaria in india claiming the real figure could be ten times higher. so we visit a russian learn who chooses to live in the forest of braving the elements. a story start a company but first over ten years america's war in afghanistan has billions of

dollars critics say washington can't afford the funds abroad when they're very much needed at home but it seems the problem is even deeper with reports that much of the money spent on the afghan campaign did not even reach its proper destination. as more. money money money money money money money money money money money money coming up with money must be the easiest thing for the u.s. says washington is the physically ok but they feel flushed down the drain. one big drain it's been washing down is it gonna stand about three hundred seventy five billion dollars has already been spent on the afghan war this doesn't include basic things like like care for soldiers in the future of what this amount also doesn't include is the cash that simply goes missing into the abyss from never completed ghost construction projects to arms that end up in the wrong hands billions of dollars talked quite the u.s. into afghanistan don't end up where i intended there's a significant portion for instance of reconstruction money that actually comes back

doesn't ever make it to afghanistan it goes into the pockets of the experts corruption is one of the major reasons for the u.s. dollar not finding its way to where it's actually headed according to transparency international afghanistan comes second only to somalia as the most corrupt country in the world immediate relatives of karzai traveling with unspeakable millions of dollars in cash which is of course not not that i know any details but not the stuff that makes people not wonder about corruption the wall street journal the other day had a piece they figured out about ten million dollars a day was simply leaving from kabul airport the afghan g.d.p. gross domestic product is only about thirteen billion dollars that's a quarter of the g.d.p. going out a year just out of kabul airport with the war not going away anytime soon but looks

likely to last for at least three to four more years where we'll billions more of taxpayer dollars and up and i think we're going to see them at the gambling tables of abu dhabi by the sound of it i mean this is not situation where the money is going to be traceable the cash fraud this man. and shady recordkeeping have been going on for quite a while. the us has already been fighting in afghanistan longer than it was involved in the second world war accidentally losing a few boxes here or there can happen to anyone. but consistently sending enormous amounts down the drain takes real effort and persistence. moreover this is far from the only war that has seen billions of dollars gone missing simply swallowed up by the shadows the united states had nine billion and then a little bit later another nine billion that simply went missing in iraq so you know this is old stuff but money disappears and it's old stuff that money that's put into the pentagon in this country can become part of

a so-called black budget that we never really get to see much about there is no one more upset about the situation those americans that are flat out broke and jobless one out of millions of people to ask is larry heels who has been unemployed for over a year and a half it's infuriating because we're the ones are always left in the cold while we're bombing and murdering people and afghanistan the poorest country in the world this is also upsetting to countless experts who say that the u.s. afghan strategy has been flawed all together what we need is not a surge of money of troops we need a surge of diplomacy in the region because to begin with i think it's a misguided war i think we need quick and responsible and exit from that country but until that happens the question of why the west can afford to waste so much money abroad when so many have nothing but hold may never be answered and. new york. while the u.s.

sends cash abroad millions of homes remain without health insurance and later. speculate how the money ends up financing terrorists. they've lost fifty five billion dollars spent allegedly. on balance sheet by the way so you know if fifty five billion spent last in afghanistan to rebuild the country any protest about that you know what's amazing it doesn't make any sense because of course you don't give your neighbor health care so there's no way you can say let's say a virus you're putting your own health at risk by not insuring health for the rest of the community and meanwhile the money is going to mercenaries in afghanistan who are breeding terrorists and training terrorists to attack americans on airplanes so you know so you're they're using the law to tell you what it is to protect yourself on the health and you giving it to terrorist attack you on the air you are free to get out of your mind. and you can watch the cars report in just over an hour from now. new research shows malaria could be

a much bigger problem in the world health organization currently says in india the death rate is thought to be massively underestimated many also blame the country's health care system for failing the rule pool who are most at risk are these currents saying reports. in india's eastern state of bihar one more victim succumbs to malaria it's a treatable infection yet it still takes more lives in india than in. this family's loss is just another statistic in the country's battle against the disease. that malaria has spread everywhere near our village no medical teams come to help us and hospitals are far away poor people like us a dying at this hospital and many patients believe they have the parasite to infection. and i have a very high temperature and i think i have malaria i've come to the doctor for treatment because many people in my neighborhood have malaria i suspect i've got it

to. a study has followed that with small to the number of people currently estimated by the world health organization since many deaths for many areas they don't get recorded so. such as was due to families and asked them to describe what had happened to the victims a method known as autopsy we estimated that something like four percent of the deaths between one and sixty nine years of age were due to malaria and if you multiply that percentage by the national number of deaths at those eight if you get two hundred thousand deaths before age seventy in india it's a staggering number especially compared to was health organizations estimate of just fifteen thousand and were fatalities it disputes the study saying the responders could mistake when it is commonly known symptoms it is true that you can

confuse malaria deaths with other causes of fever and that is a problem with the verbal autopsy method however the w.h.o. accepts the use of verbal autopsy and for estimating childhood deaths from malaria in africa so big puzzled why they would think a method would work in one continent and not three thousand miles away in another most medical stuff and in good hospitals agreed the number of malaria deaths is far more than the w.h.o. figure they had also seen the shop right in the cases of drug resistant batum malaria and to his center send the belief that it is not that much good to handle this offensive but i'm ready to go because the treatment needs to be hones the delays to treatment and also the costly injections and the just sometimes not available and because of that of them want to do becomes high as india faces this

killer disease it's important for the government and the w.h.o. of knowledge the scale of the problem only then can they upgrade their disease control strategies and resources to fight malaria actively in all its forms but in seeing. you dennis. one hour to update you on some other international stories in our world update the first australian military the military there is sending food supplies to queensland as massive floods continue to cause chaos in the north east of the country hundreds of homes are being back.

kazakhstan together the three countries may gain a prominent position on the global market i think the possibility to set up a new process and. of course to know. what it is through the interest from the. rest of the first year of the customs union has revealed some teething problems that arose imports russian oil and a preferential prize we exporting most of it to europe at a high price in response russia introduced export duties and that almost brought the countries to an oil war only after valorous ratified the agreements on the singular comic space russia agreed on a duty free oil delivery this will eventually benefit all the union members and provide the springboard for the next stage of integration the political over business r.t. . and one of the most significant merger and acquisition deals in russia in two thousand and ten was retail giant x five purchasing the walmart target supermarket
