we can say to those families who have lost loved ones it is terror justice has been done the world welcomes news al qaeda leader osama bin laden is killed with russia joining the phrase but warning against easing off the pressure also this hour. the alleged killing of colonel gadhafi son of a nato airstrike sparked outrage in libya as angry crowds burned foreign embassies in order to end what's. really a reward but it started in the past people believe it. has been a result of media wanting. wiki leaks web site reveals exclusively to our t.

what he thinks are the main driving forces behind many of the military interventions. three pm in moscow i'm not tressa good to have you with us here on r t our top story u.s. president barack obama confirms that osama bin laden has been killed in a special operation in pakistan sources suggest his body has been buried at sea which will do little to counter claims from the pakistani taliban that the al qaeda leader may still be alive as are these lucy cavanagh reports from washington his death has brought reminders that it was the u.s. itself that nourished the growth of al qaeda end bin laden back in the eighty's. 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.

special forces also we are just blocks away from the white house right now where there have been hundreds of people who are gathered right outside of the white house in celebration of this news this news that in fact has the united states has been pursuing for for the past decade since the nine eleven attacks been ten years in afghanistan nearly since since the ten year since the nine eleven attacks which really really started 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 on u.s. soil referencing of course the nine eleven attacks we have to remember that the united states' policy of corporate lee arming them in afghanistan. back in the eighty's had of course contributed so much 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 developments on the ground moscow has welcomed the news of bin laden's death and once again underlined the need for joint efforts in the fight against terror but critics already warn it's too early to celebrate what is largely a symbolic victory for more perspective on this we go live to our news media kosova on the front line of russia's fight with terror in the north caucuses good to have you with us so bin laden is dead but that doesn't mean an end to international terrorism doesn't. well the disappearance of bin laden no which a lot of people are celebrating at the moment across the globe is indeed very important but the issue of terrorism has become a global problem and as far from being sold know the ripple of actions can really be felt i knew where not a single place is safe i've been

a moment and this greater cation mountains also provide quite a convenient zone for many militants what links to al qaida to hide and develop there are not words and really only joined after is from both national and international sides can redeem prove the situation now after the killing of bin laden all eyes are searching for russia's most wanted man. he claimed responsibility for a number of high profile terrorist attacks in russia in the last several years and of the latest moscow dumb idea the airport attack that happened this year and twin suicide bombings that happened last year and now in the last several weeks in terms of fight terror raids have been launched here in the north caucuses and dozens of militants with links to all kinds out have been wiped out just a bit still the problem of terrorism that exists in this region in russia's north caucasus alone go spread far beyond and he's

a part of an international terrorist not work and home for a year ago don't want of a was put on the united states list of most wanted terrorists and really only the joint out for is can somehow resolve the situation of global terrorism and that's despite the disappearance of bin ladin still exists across the globe thank you very much or if you need a coaching over why for us in the north koreans. reaction to the news from washington many experts have been pointed to the fact that the u.s. itself contributed a lot to creating the terror we have today is your correspondent. if you look back to the one nine hundred eighty s. it was actually the united states along with the help of the i.s.i. or pockets gun secret service that were supposedly training freedom fighters during the soviet afghan war it was then those same freedom fighters that ended up turning into a terrorist and carrying out a lot of these attacks that ended up really majorly impacting the lives of the

pakistanis the billions that along with american drone attacks that have killed several poppy standing civilians it's hard to say that pakistan also hasn't been affected by this war on terror they certainly have been a victim as well when it comes to india's reaction to osama bin laden's that a lot of indians are still waiting for pockets on government official reaction as to whether or not they knew that these american troops were going to come in and capture osama bin ladin there's a lot of talk a lot of speculation here a lot of eyebrows raised talking about the fact that osama bin laden was captured so close to the pakistani capital a lot of indians here are wondering how they could not have known that he was there political analyst for the reno vesty news agency dimitri babich says osama bin laden represented the image of an enemy for the u.s. that was convenient for driving politics forward. he was almost made into a sort of a pop symbol he was there used. sort of a propaganda tool he was and he was

a person if you cation over all the evil they had what he swore was. the unfortunately we see these traditions of the united states always find someone who personifies they maybe it was saddam hussein it was milosevic now until recently it was bin laden so you have these nice to do with that some call the united states cannot survive without him this is not the way with development well a whole. chain will seize at some moment because after all it's not injured you know greta north and east la mickelson tradition who do want to have a new miss if you need any miss to keep yourself informed that doesn't want to rethink some world. for more on this we're joined live by ahmed correction the senior fellow for you pakistani think tank project for the twenty first century good to have you with bin ladin is dead what's next what's next for the war on terror. well i think we are moving now very fast toward the end game in

afghanistan i think if we just move beyond the death or the assassination of osama bin laden we can see that one way or the other the united states has been provided if they saving way to sort of say that now we can actually get out of afghanistan i think one reason why you're seeing the pakistani government quiet on the circumstances surrounding what happened last night is that apparently the pakistanis are all so happy in government i mean today morning knew for sure was statement that came out of the pakistani foreign ministry was very keen on giving full credit to those who work for the operation to the u.s. government and it was a strange because normally the pakistani government has been very careful not to get itself involved in anything that would involve u.s. military on blocks and soil but in this case the box money government is very happy to be full credit for the deaths that were the assassination of bin laden to the

u.s. government it just seems that they have pakistani officials there have been one reason for that is well if the americans are how at the end if they have something in their hands that would give them a face saving way of saying this is a this is the end and i think we should move out of a pianist and will begin the process toward that goal this is a good excuse as any to do that now the a.p. is reporting that american intelligence knew bin laden was in this particular house back in august of last year why do you think they waited till now to conduct the operation. timing is everything i think the there's no a lot of confusion over the past six months about where this whole war is going and i think the suspicions of a lot of people that the united states has been using bin laden as a bogey to perpetuate its meddling interference in this whole region bin laden was of course a major. in american hands to do that and for a long long time as

a matter of fact i remember in my conversations with many key figures in the saudi military and also the sun government they've been always very very skeptical about the assessments released by either of the cia or the pentagon or the u.s. military or even the white house assessments about the strength of the markets down of some region and i remember speaking to a very senior fox and which officer who said that officers have been very straightforward with their american counterparts about your skepticism on these assessments about the strength of al qaeda in this region and their frankly doesn't make much of a difference that bin laden is dead people here were convinced a long one at least for the last two years to be very convinced that the al qaeda figures or people in this region who by the way cannot number more than one hundred

are incapable of carrying out any major attacks or in hiding impacting the course of events in this region or beyond this region so i think there was there is a strong element of timing involved it's beneficial for the obama administration really clean side united states is also beneficial for the american intelligence community especially the cia and the u.s. military to be honest john so everybody really walks out happy after this one of the interesting things about this is that bin laden wasn't found hiding in a cave in tora bora turned out he was in a mansion i was a rally to roughly a million dollars it was a seem like a rather conspicuous place for him to be so why do you think he wasn't found earlier. actually there is a there are a lot of questions about the. if you visit the location you would discover it's a very small town and set up and it's impossible for such a high value target a high value personality to be there for

a long time and not be affected so one thing is for sure that he's not from time to even the story of even just refer to a set of that he's been here for how six months six months well you can hide yourself for six months anywhere if you're careful not to get caught but even then it's an example considering that one of the premier of pakistani military training in the box on a military academy p.m.a. is located very close to this compound there are lot of issues actually a lot of questions that make the whole make at least major parts of the story that has been released by the u.s. government very suspicious i'm sure will be we haven't heard the last foot exactly what transpired and continuing along that suspicion adding to that conspiracy theory is also the news that the administration said but a lot of the body was buried at sea so as to not create

a place of home odd where people can go to praise and people who who are very him do you think that's a strange thing to happen to it i mean what do you think that will affect the battle had on all of us. i thought that was really very amusing because there was a strong element of transparency when saddam hussein was caught and the pictures that were released and even footage that was released in this case there is the element of transparency is completely nonexistent the one picture that is being circulated right now. is hazy it's not clear and there's no beauty of footage and now of course we have the story about how he was buried over how his body has been disposed off and i think. it would not be inappropriate to say that this for greece a lot of skepticism already here in box arbor example of people who are skeptical people who are not really very sympathetic to the. yes you find a lot of people who are very very sympathetic to afghan taliban and very very sympathetic to the owner but ayman al-zawahiri osama bin laden i don't think you'll

find many buyers here in this region but still people are skeptical and i think this is an important question that the world media needs to raise and where is the element of transparency with regard to the evidence. the possession of the body of some of the martin at least in saddam hussein's case there was this transparency it is nonexistent in the schools have been a lot in himself was used here in u.s. politics kind of a straw man to play a person who could be called a common enemy that people can unite against do you think that someone will take his place as kind of u.s. enemy number one now that he's out of the picture. we have to give full credit to the continuous political establishment of the military establishment have been always very creative in finding enemies first it was a socket meeting and then it was that it was the russian federation and then in the summer bin laden and saddam hussein and the use of force we have one with gadhafi the. next one will come of it whenever it will need arises and we have to of course

but i think the americans have learned or have gone through a very very bad experience in the provincetown and iraq things turn really very bad even if they try to apply in the next and indeed sort of consolidate their military and political power and there and. that it has not been and i think the united states is not in a position right now economically politically to sustain that kind of those kind of ventures that we've seen in iraq and afghanistan over the past decade so i think there will be a certain kind of a break here before we see will next and in the others in libya the u.s. is backing rebels and there has been warnings that some of them could have links to islamic radicalism i think there's a chance that we could see the same kind of result i was witnessing in the u.s. armed groups in afghanistan in the eighty's that later grew into with the taliban and all types. for the past seventy years there has not been

a conducive environment in libya for islamic groups i mean when you talk about the kind of for example they found that conducive environment first in saudi arabia that in sudan and a spinal e in gun is down and the border region boxed in the gun is done no such circumstances exist within libya it is impossible that islamic groups would be able to organize themselves and reach the level of maturity. and operational carried in just a few weeks or even in europe or months and i'm very skeptical about the reports that the talk about islamic presence in islam is for present in libya and i think there is a certain vested interest. in that i think the political groupings of whatever shape it is law mr secular a very weak even the rebels that we see right now operating in libya are very disorganized to say the least so i think it would be an exaggeration to supply it to the theories that we are seeing now. flowing it can be in there he disappears

when he distance that is rotten is the bread and leave prematurely. right corrections senior research fellow with a pakistani think tank project for pakistan in the twenty first century thanks for a perspective. the libyan state television has shown the bodies of the saddam three grandchildren of moammar gadhafi who were reportedly killed in a nato airstrike the deaths of sparked a way for the outrage across the probably no angry mob storming foreign embassies in the capital tripoli british and italian embassies suffered considerable damage the u.n. has drawn its staff on its mission in libya after it was also attacked michel chossudovsky from the habit of a center for research on globalization thinks nato has ignored the rule of law. these are all balls and missiles and the evidence suggests that the dead apartment buildings in tripoli have been targeted hospitals have be targeted and we have.

rather conspicuous and despicable acts targeting the family of the head of state namely his son as well as his grandchildren and and we can make our own judgments but this kind of behavior his interrogation of international law not being allows the united states. to go into a country and start killing the head of state all members of his family i would hope that russia and china will take the initiative of confronting the united states britain france in the security council the united nations this is these up a legal acts they're in violation of the u.n. shots and of all that they are undertaken by countries which are involved in a war crimes in other parts of the world in the august own in prague. here and are

interested in your opinion lot onto our web site r.t. dot com and tell us why you think nato was bombing in libya but not syria more than half responded so far believe it's the amount of what while that's directing the willingness to intervene around forty percent or shura nato strikes in syria are just a matter of time four percent think the differences in the political styles of hurdle are says president assad right on top and have your say. france has taken one of the most active roles in intervening any uprisings that have been arranging in africa and the arab world apart from libya it also sent troops to its former colony ivory coast as archy's daniel bushell reports all signs show that the eyes of the french government are now turning to syria. stalin's cousin was shot by troops during syria's protests his parents there now live in hiding but he fears france will make things even worse by mean his country on the pretext of stopping the violence i don't wish to have. an air force in

syria but i. expect it. you know it's the same chain of events that brought war with libya and now on full doing its 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 and the nicolas sarkozy's government is slipping damascus with same sions the precursor to the invasion of libya humanitarian aide says one author will again be their excuse to go in the logic of their intervention in libya is that they shouldn't have been in syria also syria was once under french occupation but analysts say frogs behaves as if it's still in control france they've had their supplies there for decades now and the religious movements have had their people

there for decades so they're going to do whatever they can influence and change the regime in a way that they see fit intervention would leave france fighting in four walls that's hasn't happened since it was a colonial power the french 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 of international moves to stop the program to moscow's would become a. springboard for the sarkozy administration as it pushes east it wants 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 will choose western military interventions with rising along it

warns the fuelling violence across the middle east when those deliberately escalating the conflict is an invitation to a series of civil wars outside forces should not interfere give advice or take sides in internal conflicts addresses foreign minister adds there could be a sting in the tail he says unleashing chaos in the region hopes the very extremist and worse wants to stop gaining power valuable shorty paris and general public in europe any us have been repeatedly duped into supporting foreign interventions according to julian assange the founder of wiki leaks in an exclusive interview with our team is a preview of what's to come in more than a little more than an hour. our number one enemy is ignorance. and i believe that is the number one in a minute everyone is not understanding what exactly going on world. question is

here with promoting ignorance and it is bad media. it really is by my opinion that the media in general so bad. we have to question where the world would be better off without them altogether. talking about. how the world actually. the result of. wars and we think corrupt governments continue. nearly every war that it started in the past fifty years has been a result of the media why. populations have to be food and tools. take a look now at some other stories making headlines across the globe in berlin police a clash with left wing demonstrators during the traditional may day rally and march was broken up with water cannons after stones and bottles were thrown the chops and bags security was stepped up across the country to prevent trouble on

fighting for an independent homeland has also come in for criticism in the report. the closure of a major serial factory in rural russia has left the workers the majority of the local town's population on the breadline production came to a halt when the company was swallowed up by the global cereal giant kellogg's archie sarah firth reports. for many breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day. and kellogg's cereal has made its name as a wholesome family brand built on strong ethical values. but for one small city in russia that perception of kellogg's is difficult to stomach. was generations of families that worked here grandmothers martyr's hardest sons daughters who have all been left feeling devastated. a few years ago kellogg's to

caver one of russia's leading cereal brands including this production factory in got a for vets in the vladimir region as a global giant of industry it should be an exciting time for the workers of the reversal but on march the fourteenth we came to work and were told that the company would be liquidated this year it would have been the company's seventy fifth anniversary despite a generous redundancy package jobs think it's a scarce for generations of families the factory has been the economic heart of the city yet or not it was more than just a job the plant was everything for the people it was our way of live now with the plant closed and showing no signs of reopening people here is struggling to find even low paid jobs crowds of people are being sent to the same places and those jobs can then blackmail us they'll say there are five hundred people wanting this job so people are forced to take what they can now there's simply isn't enough work

. in response to the sudden closure colloq said the decision was not related to the performance of the workers all the plants management and admitted that the workers contribution had been valuable for the business but that's a little can't fit the workers now the regional administration is looking for another investor through the factory that tatiana tells the little seems to be happening in the ethics profits battle this time it seems profits of one out. but the real bottom line is that with the factory closing it's the people who are left paying the price there are a. few moments stay with us. culture
