we can say to those families who have lost loved ones to al qaeda is terror justice has been done r.t.r. six wants just and what's not just for a couple of confirms the death of al qaida but some of them are also the sound. that killing off the dock his son in a nato airstrike swats outrage in libya as angry crowds burned foreign embassies. plus. economic desperation intensifies and u.s. debt collectors resort and nothing is done to make americans pay their way.
3:01 am
and that many countries question their nuclear safety nightmare from perceived crisis parties pouring the new russian react to assess it's from going to. world news live from moscow you're watching on t.v. well breaking news this hour the u.s. president barack obama has confirmed that a solid bin ladin has been killed in a special operation called a stop on a news flash to around the world with the u.s. claiming it's now in possession of his body. and six off enough is the latest from washington d.c. . u.s. president barack obama addressed the nation to announce in fact that the united states has can finally confirm that osama bin laden has been killed by u.s.
3:02 am
special forces we're hearing that it was not a drone attack this is actually a firefight on the ground by u.s. special forces right outside of islamabad there was a firefight that was exchanged by some of the loddon has reportedly had reportedly been shot and killed in the head and his body is apparently now in u.s. in u.s. custody so the president addressed the nation right now to just just earlier go to announce this major development and also we are just blocks away from the white house right now where there have been hundreds of people who have gathered right outside of the white house in celebration of the developments that have been ladan has been confirmed killed by u.s. president barack obama in fact even as i was making my way to the studio we've seen cars driving by honking american flags waving and people continue to to make their way down towards the white house to celebrate this this news this news that in fact has the united states has been pursuing for for the past decade since the nine
3:03 am
eleven attacks it's been ten years in afghanistan nearly since since the ten year since the nine eleven attacks which really really start of the the active hot conflict on the ground in afghanistan but we cannot. forget that the roots of conflict so often go back to foreign policy decisions made years and years ago and you know while the president did say in his speech tonight that the american people did not choose this fight this fight came to the united states in u.s. soil referencing of course the nine eleven attacks we have to remember that the united states' policy of correctly arming the mujahideen in afghanistan. back in the eighty's had of course contributed so much to to the current situation that we have on the ground today and that's it's one of those things that unfortunately in washington sort of gets really lost in the mix you know we don't really see the consequences of certain foreign policy actions as they relate to to the present new developments on the ground. well for more on the its national tariff spoke to our
3:04 am
teams correspondents within the culture russia's north caucasus or at least on the way in what struck us is gravelly celebrations of what are calling a victory and justice being served thousands of people gathered outside the white house chanting usa usa but in all these celebrations what i think is being lost is the question of what now what does that mean for global terrorism i mean when was the last time we heard osama bin ladin take credit for a major terror it's three years and that's because the last terror attack on a major global city was on moscow last year of course the moscow metro bombings and then just in january of refrig attack on the international airport where not just russians were targeted but nationals of all kinds so certainly the u.s. sometimes forgets that terrorism is a global fight and very much this victory certainly in the u.s. media is going to be played out as america wins over terrorism but that doesn't
3:05 am
mean that the threat still isn't very much there if not it's turned the region that the forefront of russia's fight with terror medina data speeds on efforts there where you are well russia's north caucasus really remains the main training ground for terrorists in the country and this is a mounting arab dance around this district of provides a convenience zone for militants to hide and to develop their notwork and this is really the same situation as we may observe and be outgunned pakistani border now in the last several weeks there has been an intensified anti terror raids and dozens of militants have been wiped out including some high profile figures among terrorist with links to all kinds ask the search operation continues for all the terrorists here in this region it truly shows that terrorism is a global a she but it's far from being solved but to you and these what about the situation be your own russia's borders such as the conflicts in iraq and afghan. well the u.s. of course as we all know was planning to withdraw from both iraq and afghanistan in
3:06 am
the relatively near future bin laden's death shouldn't change that if anything at all how the anti war critics say well he's dead let's go get out of those two countries but let's not forget that before they withdrew from or planted with or began withdrawing rather from iraq and afghanistan the u.s. got their hands tied up with libya they're the number one then an enemy of course is colonel gadhafi it's no secret that the u.s. and europe wants to get rid of him and although it's just been reported that their army these rebels that hasn't been confirmed we do know that they are planning if they haven't already begun to train the rebels in libya and that certainly draws parallels with what we saw in afghanistan it's very well known that the u.s. trained in armed groups that then went on to become the taliban and al qaida so we're going to hear a lot of analysis today about those parallels and like i said osama bin laden is dead but another enemy will be born and all eyes now are on will be. let's talk now
3:07 am
to political analyst for the real news agency to be true bob it's thank you for joining us here live in the studio of course president obama is facing a tough reelection next year could there be a connection well i think it can be helpful for president obama but in general i would like to see that here in russia the vast majority of russians were not going to shed tears or some of been a lot because he was not only a trip with the united states he was in many ways a threat to russia. but certainly we're not going to also joining this kind of celebration there is something wrong about that you know we should not rejoice when someone is killed and in many ways bin laden was used to justify us foreign policy abroad military action. been have been a temptation to keep him alive in the stranger where. we can have all sorts of theories certainly he was almost made in person or of
3:08 am
a symbol he was used as sort of a propaganda tool he was and he was a person if you cation over all the evil you would use wars. fortunately we see this tradition in the united states always find someone who persona flies they mean it was saddam hussein it was my water reach now until recently it was bin laden so i have these nasty feeling that son call the united states cannot survive without an enemy this is not a very good development or that being a case with no way will be next then on america's at least well i hope the chain will seize at some moment because after all it's not in creature not in use one week or so tradition do you want to have any mass if you need any miss to keep yourself informed that doesn't want the good things about you but certainly this situation liebig is far from be resolved because you know again
3:09 am
a stance far from being. it will be rocky a problem may spring up again if any moment there is a continued rivalry with china and somehow the united states sometimes even managed to eliminate some countries which could be allies for example russia i'm sure that all the controversy is that we have between russia and united states they're all artificial i don't see the real basis for a disagreement mention libya it could be a case of history repeating itself in the back in the eighties us in effect raised to bin laden as a pain in the in the sponsoring which war against the soviet union in afghanistan is a sense of deja vu well i think. yes because in the seventy's and early ages when the united states financed the so-called war interest coming from the middle east to fighting against one another personification of evil was the story of a group of so these who were consumed treach over an image of an evil leader who is
3:10 am
an enemy made way over there in the states also because it's clear that the problem in libya is not just qaddafi he's an unsavory character and he doesn't look very clear on television but obviously the problem is not in him but the problem is that a very big chunk of libyan society does not want to be ruled by the sword a position which was recognized by france and in other western countries so hastily ok leave it there for now dimitri garbage thank you as always for joining us here live on the scene. meanwhile the libyan state t.v. has shown the bodies of a son and three grandchildren. who were a part of the killing nato airstrike the deaths have sparked a wave of outrage across the. phone and the scenes in tripoli. ten percent considerable damage u.n. has withdrawn start. off and was also attacked
3:11 am
a michel chossudovsky from one of the base. things nato has ignored the rule of law the drop balls and missiles and the evidence suggests that. apartment buildings in tripoli have been targeted hospitals have be targeted and now we have a law that conspicuous and the people act of targeting the family of the head of state namely his son as well as his grandchildren. and we can make our own judgments but this kind of behavior is interrogation of international law not being allows the united states. to go into a country and start killing the head of state or members of his family i would hope that russia and china will take the initiative of confronting the united states britain and france in the security council the united nations this is
3:12 am
these are illegal acts in violation of the un charter and above all they are undertaken by countries which are involved in it was crimes in other parts of the world in the afghanistan and pakistan i mean rather as violent clashes continue in syria the number of dead has already sort of one hundred there's increased speculation it set to become the next target of foreign intervention mr townson london says any further nato action would have far reaching consequences. it is notable that former way six a journalistic group has been quoted here in this country as saying that the reports from on the ground in syria do match what the wire agencies are saying and as to what's happening in syria of course any major attack on syria would result in . so much disastrous. consequences i mean.
3:13 am
the straits of hormuz is palestinian groups of people in egypt would all probably rise up against it because syria is such a linchpin of. everything that is against us said you want to power now in the middle east on our web site r.t. dot com where after your opinions as tonight nato is bombing libya but not syria the moment i think it's the amount of oil that is directing the willingness. around ninety percent of the russian all that nato strikes in syria just a matter of time just four percent difference and that's you can start also in present problems a lot of dot com and have your say. france has taken one of the most active roles in intervening in the uprisings raging in africa and the arab world apart from libya it also sends troops to its former colony ivory coast. reports all signs of french government now turning to syria. stalin's cousin was
3:14 am
shot by troops during syria's protests his parents there now live in hiding but he fears france will make things even worse by told me in his country on the pretext of stopping the violence i don't wish to have. an air force in syria but i better say. he notes the same chain of events that brought war with libya and now unfolding at home first syrian leader bashar al assad was invited for talks in paris as was colonel gadhafi but at the same time france reportedly was funding opposition groups in both states now nicolas sarkozy's government is slapping damascus with sanctions the precursor to the invasion of libya humanitarian aide says one also
3:15 am
will again be their excuse to go in the logic of their own government in the media is that there's an intervening in syria also syria was once under french occupation but certainly say france behaves as if it's still in control france. is there for decades now and the religious movements have had their people there for decades so they're going to do whatever they can and use their influence to change the regime in a way that they see fit intervention would leave france fighting in four walls that hasn't happened since it was a colonial power for its defense ministry hasn't been this busy in over fifty years already fighting in afghanistan libya and the ivory coast is now turning its sights on another former colony syria but expose think the real target is serious key ally iran france is growing increasingly angry at tehran's nuclear ambitions and is part
3:16 am
of international moves to stop that program damascus would become a. springboard for the sarkozy administration as it pushes east if it meant in syria progress according to the libyan scenario we will probably see a similar development in iran unfortunately that is iran will repeat the syrian scenario russia watches with the military interventions with rising along it warms the fuel in violence across the middle east. deliberately a school is in a conflict is an invitation to a series of civil wars outside forces should not interfere give advice or take sides in internal conflicts but russia's foreign minister adds there could be a sting in the tail he says only she chaos in the region helps the very extremist the west wants to stop gaining power there you go sure r.t. paris. with general public in europe and the us have been repeatedly plotting
3:17 am
foreign interventions so says during the start of the founder of wiki leaks an exclusive interview with r.t. there is a preview of what's coming next now. another one in a way that ignorance. and i believe the number one enemy of everyone is not understanding what exactly is going on up and out question is here with promoting ignorance it is bad media. it really is my opinion that the media in general are so bad. we have to question when the world wouldn't be better off without them all together. with a thought here. how the world actually. the result is any war than anything corrupt governments can. nearly every war that it started in the past fifty years has been a result of media wide. populations have to be fooled and.

many americans struggling to pay off their debts growing numbers are said to be subject to extreme debt in that sense furious rants to threats of physical violence but those that want to make people pay their way. i magine a call coming to your home you pick up and is stranger demands your money and threatens your life they have said that we know where you live we know your wife is you're not going to get away with this before you. invert brian's case he was dealing with the mafia and i called them back to find out exactly who they were they were the voices of debt collectors harassing the fifty year old music producer over a small debt belonging to his son. with

a record number of americans drowning in unpaid bills losing homes and searching for jobs and abuse in the us debt collection industry has reached record highs and one hundred forty four thousand complaints were filed with the federal government last year among them collectors resorting to racial slurs anti-semitic remarks and threats of rape certainly any threats of violence or clearly illegal contact with third party somebody other than a consumer is illegal or it is under very specific circumstances however debt collectors routinely violate the third party disclosure rules and contact neighbors and relatives as a means of putting pressure on consumers and attorney joseph morrow says most collection agents work on commission only getting paid when a debt been recovered. climate of economic desperation intensifying the use of
3:20 am
illegal and aggressive tactics just to net a bounty paycheck there are to my knowledge about four or five cases of suicide coming from that collection harassment and there's also been heart attacks and strokes ironically a lifeline is always extended to the biggest borer of them all the u.s. government with exceptional debt of fourteen point three trillion dollars america keeps spending money printing more cash and relying on creditors like china who own one point one trillion dollars in u.s. treasury bonds i want to make it perfectly clear that congress will raise the debt ceiling washington gets a safety net wall street gets a bailout and the working american facing financial hardship gets harassed is it unfair yes it is the economic environment disasters right now yes it is but there's been traditional ways to to work your way out of these situations and those mechanisms are working anymore. i sound unlikely to be heard on wall

street where the rich and powerful have lost billions in past years while poor americans on main street continue dealing with all the consequences. r t new york. and today's edition of cross talk at people a bell and his guests debate whether donald trump's campaign for the presidency could make him a powerful challenger next year's race for the white house. what it does is this kind of trump theater of the absurd picks an already scrambled wide open field and starts to tell people look this is not a year to run because if this is what we're talking about this shows they are you going to get a quality age as a real candidate with god all trump all talk a lot will say me outrageous things will get a lot of coverage will make all the other candidates look ridiculous. nuclear safety has come on the first scrutiny from the shock of what some folded it

plans for the seam of plants recent anniversary of the trouble disaster has added to the fears it seems has been trying to find out if this is all being learned as new stations come on mine. this is the reactor which is of course the part of the power station. heat up the water with the process of fission and then this water goes on and then turns of turbines which create the electricity normally if there is an accident if anything goes wrong this reactor shuts down with some special control rods they start the process of question in japan when the initial earthquake took place there was a successful shutdown after the water circulating system was damaged but even after you shut the rods down even after you stop the spread of fish it doesn't stop straight away there is a remaining process which goes on for several days. in japan it was a special backup system a diesel operated backup system which was supposed to stop the rods from
3:23 am
overheating with this leftover oppression which was happening but of course this system was damaged as well. which followed afterwards and this is what has led to the. rods causing a build up of buildup of pressure and eventually the explosions which of state shaken over the past few days this is the control room obviously the brains of the operation now the project the station was initially approved in the early eighty's all of this equipment was different was analog before now it's digital. i think you compare this to the sort of technologies that we used in chernobyl is totally inappropriate the system is also rated and these computers can do millions of calculations every second so a repeat of that is impossible all the same we can only hope that accidents such a three mile island chain lobel africa shima will not be repeated any time in the
