yard is standing by for us in washington o'brien a u.s. has killed any number one osama bin laden can the world now take a sigh of relief. well america definitely celebrates his death there has been a lot of cheering outside the white house this sunday night as president and now most of the news still bomb administration has definitely been dead accomplished kind of mood according to the president bin laden was killed by american special forces in pakistan not in some cave in afghanistan as some would expect actually the compound where she was hiding was reportedly quite a confortable place not far from the capital of pakistan in a county where pakistan trained some of its finest officers though there are a lot of questions as to whether or not the pakistani officials had the knowledge of the al qaeda leader hiding there or could they have been sheltering him also lots of questions as to the body of bin laden american officials are saying that they have a d.n.a. confirmation that it was indeed osama bin laden who was killed in the shootout but

his body that was in custody of the u.s. authorities has been reportedly buried at sea as officials here are saying they followed the islamic tradition which requires a body buried within twenty four hours after the deaths now of course a lot of people have been waiting for for a graph proof of bin laden's death the man responsible of the most devastating terrorist attack in u.s. history but apparently there has been non to confirm that for sure there is a blotted image of a man resample bin ladin widely circulating in the media right now but it's it's it's said in faith and also for what president obama has been saying this sunday night americans had apparently known about bin laden's whereabouts since last year it was this thing we suggest that they've been preparing this operation for months looks interesting everybody knows that the u.s. has been chasing going to find it on the ground of against them borders in yemen those have been called. drone strikes in pakistan they've been pretty over u.s.

it's been widely criticized for those strikes will be scores of civilians that they killed in pakistan it's been an especially sore issue and the question some asked now is could the success of killing bin laden in pakistan give the u.s. more of a carte blanche for carrying out strikes in other countries or to justify those strikes some analysts point out that america's war on terror has been a double edged sure that involve fighting terror and provoking provoking terrorism same time for the logical scene body meant the symbol of america's war on terror since nine eleven has been he'd been the country's greatest billing chase the u.s. invasion of pakistan from chasing down him and his associates to chase people phenomena lot of time and resources thousands thousands of afghan civilians died the war waged by allied forces then led by the united states has left afghanistan as unstable as ever it's now a hotbed of extremism the u.s. administration now of course hails bin laden's death as

a great victory of the war on terror front but the bigger question is how much more care has that war instigated ever since the u.s. has a track record of policies that backfired like arming and training the afghan mujahideen in the nine hundred eighty s. in their fight against the soviet troops subsequently the same with jackie militants turned their weapons and training against the u.s. among those supported by the u.s. has been very well known was also in the bin laden's group of actually. turning to him these are now russia is no stranger to al qaeda linked terror movements what has been a lot of bin laden's death need for this moscow herald but not it's just this significant step in the fight against global terrorism and also voiced hope that it would lead to further cooperation internationally but that said when was the last time we heard of some of the law to take you write it for an international terror attack it was years ago that is not the case here in iraq. so of course the two

major terror attacks we've seen on the world stage recently happened right here in moscow first the moscow metro blasts just over a year ago and most recently in january at its international airport so are some of the modern might be dead but the threat of terror most certainly is not. a man wanted dead or alive for a decade is gone the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden. you can hear some of the cheering going on right now for some it was a movement a victory for others a movement other than paris meant president obama is in fact it was a u.s. teaching i'm sorry but there is one moment analysts say should not be overlooked osama bin laden may be dead but the threat of terror is very much alive frankly doesn't make much of a difference that is dead people here were convinced

a long run at least for the last two years 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 instead it's russia now kind of link terrorists that have me the most recent marks metro blast an airport bombing two of the most recent global attacks were masterminded by domestic chechen terrorists more of who for years has been trying to usurp anonymous role as the face of international terrorism the al qaeda leader's demise is expected to remain a significant symbol but having little or no fact in the fight against terrorism it could create waves elsewhere in the two thousand war and right. george bush's approval rating was around fifty percent within twenty four hours and shot at a ninety percent so watch for obama to go from list and now of course an opening

has been made for the new face of evil. first it was a socket meeting and it was it was the russian federation and it came with some of them saddam hussein and these days of course we have a moment and the next one will come of course definitely whenever the need arises. and speaking of libya you're going to hear a lot of parallels between the fact that u.s. and nato are training rivals there when this death of osama bin ladin was reminding us that it was in fact the u.s. to nourish groups that turned into al qaida and the taliban back in the late eighty's during the soviet afghan war. right now in moscow and guy image here out in washington thanks for the. performer on bin laden's demise and what it could mean for the world we're joined by james corbett editor of the corporate report live york good to have you with us so according to you another number of adolescence bin ladin has been dead for quite some time already if that were true

why would the u.s. wait till now to announce his death well first let me correct you i'm not in new york i'm actually in japan but. it's not my contention that osama bin laden doesn't theft definitively has been dead for some time but the he has his death has been announced a number of times at any rate and and i don't see why we should take this pronouncement any more seriously than any of the previous pronouncements especially considering the complete and utter lack of evidence that has so far been produced to show that osama bin laden or anyone resembling that description was actually killed yesterday but i think it's important to understand the announcement that occurred yesterday not through the lens of the announcement of the death of some terrorist mastermind so much as the retirement party for a known cia asset along the lines of lee harvey oswald back in november nineteenth sixty three and i think only harvey oswald is probably the best analog for osama bin laden as someone who did not have the means motive or opportunity to do what he

allegedly did not only killing president kennedy but also waltzing in and out of the soviet union at the height of the cold war after having been working at the top secret at sixty air force base with no questions asked using money that he didn't have at the time and in the same way we see osama bin laden being beneath the rogue elements of the bin laden family. construction fortune who of course has the ties to texas and of course the bush family so we see osama bin laden of course having deep ties to the american intelligence establishment so i see this more as a ploy of the cia getting rid of one of their old assets whether he actually did die yesterday or he's been dead for yours or whatever the case may be it's simply discarding a war on terror boogey man who is no longer scaring the populace ok so you have your point of view about what went on today and certainly you're entitled to that but what do you think this will be you know about the presidential elections coming up twenty four hours around the corner do you think that obama can claim this as

a victory leading into a reelection campaign. there's certainly no doubt that this is going to give a market boost to obama as people rally around the flag as they usually do in circumstances like this so i think this is going to have a positive effect in that way and also it it once again. endures the public and yours the public i should say to the idea of extra judicial assassinations just days after nato's attempted to assassinate and ended up killing his son and grandchildren once again we see another type of extra judicial assassination going on which of course is an international war crimes in this case it's a it's ok because it's the beginning and everyone loves to hate so once again makes it ok in the eyes of the public so with a person like bin ladin one way or another out of the picture at this point what do you think is the future of terror. well i think at this point it's for anyone who has been paying attention over the last ten years it's been quite obvious but i can't see how the. perpetrators of the war of terror can any longer pretend that

terrorism itself is actually some sort of enemy combatant that it consists of some sort of army led by some sort of shadowy mastermind in a cave in the hills of afghanistan so much as it is simply a word that means anything that is opposed to us all of our interests but it's more than just that i mean there is a terrorist strike in russia right now there's doku umarov doing his his occasional action here there is terrorism going on in the middle east i mean it's not something that simply strike in the united states or something that's surely instigated by them in the west no one denies that there are terrorists and there are real terrorist events but i think the spectacular types of terror against that we've seen for example on nine eleven and on seven seven and certain other terror attacks have been allowed and or public spirit and or perpetrated by western intelligence agencies and i think absolutely osama bin laden and the al qaeda narrative has been an important part of that when you go back to the 1980's with afghanistan and the roots of al qaeda you see that osama bin laden was directly

supplied by to us who were selling his men arms at a reduced rates and in one thousand nine hundred you have f.b.i. with a war civil edmonds testifying to the information that she had at the f.b.i. indicated that bin laden was working hand in glove with the u.s. intelligence establishment throughout the ninety's in one thousand nine hundred and you have been testifying that when he worked at the consulate in the one nine hundred eighty s. he was giving terrorists to you know visas to known terrorists in order to bring them into the u.s. for training at u.s. military bases so at every possible opportunity you see how these types of organizations are helped along. by people who have ties to the you know western intelligence establishment all right we're going to have to leave it there editor of the court reporter james court. turning to libya where the bodies of non-market aki son and three grandchildren reportedly killed in a nato air strike had been shown on state television nato says they intercepted

military communications from the targeted site before launching the attack the incident caused outrage among pro could r.t. supporters but angry mobs storming foreign embassies in tripoli british an italian officer suffered the most damage the u.n. decided to withdraw its staff from libya after its buildings were attacked mark almond a visiting professor of international relations at bill kent university says things are going to get worse in libya as nato may have underestimated gadhafi when they started this six weeks ago they thought the dark regime was crumbling and collapse very quickly with just cruise missiles right now is in fact if anything this intervention stabilizes with our. international. they've had to become more and more aggressive or more involved other words are you david cameron the british prime minister and person with armament very foolish if they cannot get rid of foot off of other force was not the un resolutions they thought of and i seen a tear in resolution because of collapse of the current regime that has been out on

route and now still once the u.n. security council resolution was passed. the three key nation states is blanket coverage what they want to do is it can be reversed without their agreement or even france and i suspect computer or any change the terms of the resolution so unless there's a change of heart in washington our number i suspect we will see increased military activity not only in the air but also on the ground and maybe this will solve the problem from the perspective of nato countries but maybe it will simply be. well we're into deeper. one of the coalition of driving forces france has not only become a key player in libya but another regional conflicts having said its troops to its former colony ivory coast paris may now be showing a strong interest in libya as r.t. is then you're partial reports sahlins 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 in his country on the pretext of stopping the violence i don't wish to have. an air force in syria but i but i really 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 only killer sarkozy's government is slipping damascus with sanctions the precursor to the invasion of libya humanitarian aide says one also will again be their excuse to go in the logic of their intervention in libya he's not going to be in syria syria was once under french occupation but certainly say france behaves as if it still in

control france there was there for decades now and the religious movements have had their people there for decades so they're going to do whatever they can to use their influence to change the regime in a way that they something that intervention would leave france fighting in four walls that hasn't happened since it was a colonial power 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 take spurs think real to. it is serious key ally iran france is growing increasingly angry at tehran's nuclear ambitions and is part of international moves to stop that program the most because it would become a springboard for the sarkozy administration as it pushes east even 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 roy's in a law it warns the fuel in violence across the middle east. belittling 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 but russia's foreign minister adds there could be a sting in the tail he says only chaos in the region helps the very extremist the west wants to stop gaining power there you go short r.t. paris. people in europe any us have been reportedly duped by the media into backing for interventions that's the opinion of julian assange founder of wiki leaks who spoke exclusively with r.t. here's a preview of what's to come out and about a quarter our. number one enemy is ignorance. and i believe that is the

number one in me and everyone is not understanding what is actually going on in the world now question is here with promoting ignorance it is bad media. it really is by my opinion that the media in general so bad there is no distorting of how the world actually is nearly every war that it started in the past fifteen years has been a result of media wide in the media could have thought that it did not basically populations that live. populations have to be fooling falls populations that we think we know we think it's going to work so if we have media environment it also means. three years on from the financial crash of two thousand and eight millions of

disaster is only further highlighted the fears. has been trying to find out of the lessons being learned are coming into effect in reactors going online in russia. this is the reactor which is of course part of the power station here. heat of the water with the process of fission and then this water goes on and then turns the turbines which create the electricity normally if there is an accident or if anything goes wrong this reactor shuts down with some special control rods they stop the process of fission in japan when the initial earthquake took place there was a successful shutdown after the water cycle ation system was damaged but even after you shut the rods down even after you stop this process it doesn't stop straight away there is a remaining process which goes on for several days. in japan as a special backup system at these lawbreaking backup systems which are supposed to stop the rods from overheating with this leftover question which is 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 book ashima over the past few days this is the control room obviously the brains of the operation now the project for the station was initially approved in the early eighty's all of this equipment was different it was analog before now it's digital. i think to compare this to the sort of technologies that we use and should know ball is totally. appropriate this system is also mated and these confuses can do millions of calculations every second so a repeat of that is impossible all the same we can only hope that i put on such a three mile island so lobel and this year focus shima will not be repeated any time in the near future you go there are no quality i mean instead place and.
