it was a milestone in the war on terror also a pre-election the stunt critics suggest al qaeda would crumble after the death of bin laden but believe the timing was right to strengthen the u.s. president's political goals. news of the death of the world's top terrorist spread quickly overshadowing nato's bombing of the home of the libyan leader and the outrage over the apparent assassination attempt. georgia's president says his country is hospitable to all but a russian a relative of an opposition leader is welcomed only by threats and violence from police. and court summons for the man who blew out chapman's cover throwing her to

the walls with ten other russian agents in the u.s. during last year's transatlantic spy saga. and here in business who look at how well prizes are affected by the news of a salad announce death the terrorist denies lets his swings in commodities that and more in twenty minutes. news around the world around the clock i'm match reza good to have you with us here on r t where it's five pm in moscow less than two days after osama bin laden was shot dead pakistan is now in the crosshairs of international scrutiny observers have been baffled over how the world's most wanted terror leader managed to hide away only a kilometer from the nation's military academy but it's not the only uncertainty surrounding bin laden's death which marks a major milestone in the global war on terror the sting in the tail here is the

increased risk of revenge attacks from al qaida supporters he's got h.p. on reports the operation don't have done barack obama's presidential goals any harm either. the great then get him moment shrouded in secrecy as americans celebrated the killing of the. the nation's number one terrorist they had no other proof of his death but the word of their president they needed to give us a big win and we could. feel good but sorry can't see his body we threw him in the ocean and all we did show you a fake photo according to u.s. officials american special forces killed osama bin laden in his mentioning pakistan conducted a d.n.a. test to make sure it was him and promptly got rid of the body as they put it following islamic burial tradition while the symbol of america's war on terror seems to be done with the war on terror itself is not it is death does not mark the end of our effort there is no doubt that al qaeda will continue to pursue attacks

against us we must and we will remain vigilant at home and abroad the u.s. has been long chasing all kind of beyond of ghana's then borders in yemen those of being covert drone strikes in pakistan they were overt and widely criticized for the scores of civilians killed in the attacks the question some ask now is could the success of killing bin ladin in pakistan give the u.s. more of a carte blanche were carrying out strikes in other countries it will be used to justify further wars greater repression and more acts church or judicial targeted assassinations against political opponents and this is true whether and libya and iraq and pakistan and afghanistan many analysts say mary kiss war on terror so far has been a double edged sword that involves fighting terror and provoking terror at the same

time the war waged by allied forces and led by the united states has left of ghana's then as unstable as ever the war on terror has the. a military to allow the u.s. to carry out military operations that since two thousand and one have taken the lives of more than a million civilians. in iraq in afghanistan now in libya and of course that leads to an escalation of resistance of hatred of revenge and so in terms of keeping the american people safe that's a ridiculous notion the us has a track record of policies that backfired and like arming and training the afghan mujahideen in the 1980's in their fight against the soviet troops subsequently the same guy he militants turned their weapons and training against the us among those supported by the us was also some of bin ladin and his group eventual evolved into al qaida one great.

great. good one lesson was learnt victory over evil makes great television and approval ratings for the men in charge . obama said that he had known about bin laden's whereabouts sees august last year but only last week had he given the order to take him it's been two weeks he's obama and now it's his reelection plans he's been slipping in the polls over inconclusive wars overseas and economic woes at home has actually led to the president of the united states being beatified almost more than the you know the pope's you know kind of accolades to john paul this is you know obama is cashing in on this everything for everything that it's worth and you'll notice in his speech last night he kept stressing several times i ordered i

promised i's such and such it was clearly done for you know the statement was clearly worded for political advantage at a time when unity and joy over the death of these evil man americans have been missing the bigger picture in the last twenty years the war on terror and the way. it's that that spurned the more evidence. that he said that reporting from washington. with a lation over bin laden's death subsiding there are some questions over what his fate might mean for the world for more on this we're joined by patrick headings in journalist and editor of twenty first century wire life from london thanks for joining us so now that some of the wider speculation has died down what do you think will be the significance of bin laden's death for the u.s. senate brought. i think initially for the u.s. there's two things first we need to look at the fact that the current administration the u.s. is going into a new election cycle in two thousand and twelve now what this announcement by

a good lord in the chief for him it's a great line on his resume as a wartime president and also with poll numbers that were kind of really down in the doldrums the last two three years domestically this administration is suffering this gives them some credence overseas and also if the u.s. chooses to engage in a new conflict like a libya or an iran over the next twelve months this is going to help obama because american voters generally won't change leadership during a hot conflict and that would really solidify his chances for reelection in two thousand and twelve the number of analysts who have said that on the program that since bin laden's death was announced that the u.s. might use it as a justification to expand the war on terror how do you think this will affect the u.s. foreign policy. i think initially you know you have to look at the u.s. in terms of from two thousand and one the u.s.

britain nato countries have erected like a security state so we have terror warnings come out or a bin laden video comes out then we go into high alert so the security services will say there's a high threat level right now we've seen exactly this immediately after obama's speech we've gone to the a.b.c. c.b.s. major media networks reporting that it's a heightened state of alert and people must be vigilant in case someone wants to avenge the death of osama bin laden so in that in the beginning we'll see a heightened security state i believe that this signals the fact that the u.s. in the long term may be moving away from the war on terror the shadowy enemy of al qaeda and refocusing on this nation state anime i.e. a libya syria and of course in iran in the next twelve months and what about the fate of al qaeda now that it's lost its leader. well. i mean i

referred to some of bin laden is the busiest corpse in show business for the last ten years you've been doing absolutely nothing there's been multiple reports that he has in fact died we have official sort of statement from bettors there bhutto in two thousand and seven on david frost saying those numbers on was dead matter and albright admission in two thousand and three. and two thousand and two reports about him when i dialysis machine in a hospital in dubai in two thousand and one so al-qaeda according to robin cook the late robin cook foreign secretary in the u.k. it's a database it's a list of ex mujahideen and the next generation would go dean who are employed in civil wars around the world so the al-qaeda is not an organisation i believe and many would agree with me that it has offices and a hierarchy as such it's more of a brand do you think that the u.s.

is going to release photographs or evidence of the fate of bin ladin of his corpse a burial at sea do you think that would be a wise decision. you know what if i was to bit and it was a betting man i would say that there will be no photographs and no videos released at all at the best we're going to get grainy videos of some kind of a raid and we might if we're lucky get a photograph of a mutilated corpse there's been really a lot of controversy in the actual identification process of this. corpse in the last two days the first. claim that they've had to d.n.a. testing that was matched against his sister who died of brain cancer reuters reported but no there hasn't been d.n.a. testing yet and meanwhile the u.s. has said they dumped his body in the arabian sea twenty four hours after catching him so maybe it's corpus we have a slight problem with the evidence of the actual physical of some of bin laden

which is going to have people scratching their heads for as long as they've been scratching their heads and kennedy was assassinated right patrick hemmings and journalist and editor of twenty first century wire thanks for your time. on our website we're asking you how international terrorism might change within lives gaffed so far the overwhelming majority believes everything will go on as usual since bin laden wasn't the main driving force behind al qaida any more fish doubt his death entirely and don't foresee any changes a lot in percent here terrorism will become stronger and his demise in six percent of the killing will eventually lead to the end of international terror like. tell us what you think. before the news of bin laden's death u.s. led nato forces attacked colonel gadhafi his compound in libya despite nato claims that they were bombing a military target some say it was an attempt to get rid of the country's leader himself. it was a death the buried under the barrage of breaking news we've been leader moammar

gadhafi is twenty nine year old son and three grandchildren were reportedly killed by nato airstrike on saturday night all children were said to be under twelve years old but within twenty four hours the u.s. president and nouns the death of the world's number one terrorist news which were shared anything coming from libya the idea of extra judicial assassinations just days after a. tempted to assassinate gadhafi 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 crime but in this case it's a it's ok because it's the bogeyman that everyone loves to hate. the coolish commanders have protested they are in full compliance with the u.n. security council resolution on libya and only target notary objects insisting they're not targeting any one person in particular this despite two recent the air strikes targeting known whereabouts of qaddafi this was an attack on

a so you know your own structure this was her stock car a murder three of us were. what is. well i think you're either way. but you will only hear associated with you know what they really want to get you know and you know. you respect sure it was all awkward but of course being of libya is all awkward all of it all nato countries ok me walk around every single day attacking civilian targets killing civilians. and the bombings the sports riots with gadhafi supporters the storming the italian and british embassies and protests and some believe should the coalition forces continue on their chosen course in libya the situation will go from bad to worse nato's with his only strength and the loyalty. on the resolve of khadafi supporters for each bomb that's

dropped on tripoli and other kid the loyalist strongholds it's just the psychology of war anywhere when you. are resisting group their resolve gets stronger. and as history shows the situation in libya me full of course already familiar to what is done politicians we have to give full credit to the. us political establishment of the military establishment have been always very creative in finding interviews first it was a sunday meeting and was it was the russian federation came and some of the large and saddam hussein and these days of course we have more on the. next one will come if there's definitely whenever the need arises also has expressed concern over the straits. times saying the coalition is using excessive force but poses from countries like russia china and india are going to notice by the west and will need to decide ultimately who knows how many more lives will be lost you know will start

to moscow romania has declared it will host missile interceptors as part of a u.s. plan defense shield for europe you know some came from the romanian president who stressed the system was not directed at russia for more we go like our he's here standing by near the kremlin so a lot of your it's not the first time the u.s. has plans to play missile shield in europe what makes this different. this time this will be a sea world that a short range interceptor missiles and romania is also allowing washington to use its biggest to see board and air base we also know that the missile base will be controlled by remaining enough goodies even though it will house up to five hundred american staff members and the romanian president has said that by housing this case remain is achieving the highest security level in its history and he also stressed that this will not be

a threat to russia's national security but as you say this is not the first time this discussion is going on effexor romania is a washington's plan and b. when it comes to its a.m.d. plans in europe previously. ministration wanted to build. a base with a long range interceptor missiles in poland they actually delivered a batch off the detroit missiles there they were not installed he also wanted to build our radar based in the czech republic all of this caused a wave of criticism from russia actually this was for a while one of the biggest stumbling points in the lesions between moscow and washington with russia saying that such a system would break the. of the of the balance also which it forces on the european confidence and it also creates rights to russia's national security so the up mama is going to ration scraps these plans in fact so around a year or so there was a quite a lot of talk between moscow washington and nato on building up cooperation on more

a joint project including the anti missile defense system moscow we strongly for i joined the n.c. missile defense system which would include russia the european union and the united states where all would share the responsibility for one another but when it comes to not words but action it seems so the alliance has its own plans on the am d a system in europe and is making decisions even on the exact locations of its aliments also on its own without even consulting with russia. thanks very much our reporting from moscow turning now to our web site r t dot com where you can get the latest news features videos and analysis here's what's a click away right now. dramatic video of an airliner spinning out of control over one of moscow's airports can certainly turn your stomach find out how the pilot managed to land safely plus.

just doing this he is in danger of being overshadowed by its explosive reputation as a craze where so many opposition rallies have been suppressed by police since we are saakashvili to practice as president in two thousand position leaders have come and gone but the muppets dealing with them remain very much the same i think you just. gave in georgia if you are in a position where you do the right you know the right picture of prostitution you can just you are just distributed by. the state if he she you know to says she won't be broken down by a tad son her family and sure people would make it to the streets of d.c. no matter what but marina who sought medical attention twice up to dealing with the georgian police will be hard to persuade towards tallahassee is the card beat

punishment could be we know that according to some speculations if found guilty he could receive over twenty years in prison of course the trial will take place in absentia as the cold war criminal is believed to be living in the united states despite several arrest warrants in his name he's still not been found and of course he became a very featured of figure in of the international media after the so-called spy scandal of last year when eleven people were charged with espionage in the united states on the east coast all of those who were tried and found guilty of espionage they were later returned to russia as part of an exchange deal between moscow and washington basically a spy trade off which saw most of those accused and found guilty of espionage in the united states returned to russia and we know that one of the accused which we

call law is actually returned to peru that is of course her motherland we also know that one other man who was charged with espionage has lead to the united states and is also considered a wanted person but most of those involved in a so-called spy scandal have been returning to new russia some of course even enjoying quite a media. interesting lifestyle like and of chapman of the so-called names the sixty ninety agent of course hailed by the media for her good looks she's a very prominent figure in russia featured quite frequently in the various news reports and various media one of the events so all of those people of. bourse charged and found guilty of espionage and it is believed that alexandre by t.v. is the former colonel of russia's former intelligence agency most of the man who leaked all of their information to officials in washington which of course enabled

the american officials to do what i charged them with espionage and bring their cases to trial so a very serious number of offenses of course all the information gathered by russia's federal security officers or the f.s.b. they later presented their case to the military tribunal and despite the fact or date has not yet been set the media attention is definitely on the waiver in this case. korinos are about thanks very much for that report. stay with us here on our business is up next with korean military. hello and welcome to our business news here in our c thanks for watching a huge oil and gas field in russia's far east looks set to come online earlier than expected says it will be drilling its first production well and some humming three this year all the gas giant had planned to start production in two thousand and
