tonight on r t was the milestone in the war on terror just of pre-election stunt critics doubt al qaida will crumble after the death of osama bin laden but believe the tally was perfect the strength of the u.s. president's political ambitions. the news of the death of the world's top terrorist was quick to spread overshadowing the nato bombing of the home of the libyan leader and the outrage over the apparent assassination attempt. georgia's president says his country suspect of all through all the russian relative of an opposition leader is welcome the only voice threats of violence from the police as we report. and the

court summons for the man who blew anna chapman's cover throwing out to the wolves along with ten other russian agents in the u.s. if you're industrious transatlantic. watching. eight pm tuesday night here in moscow thanks for being with this one is kevin zero in on the top story less than two days after a summer bin ladin was shot dead pakistan is now called in the crosshairs of international scrutiny observers have been baffled over how the world's most wanted terrorist managed to hide just a kilometer away from the country's military academy over it's not the only uncertainty surrounding bin laden's death which marks a major milestone in the global war on terror the sting of the terror here is the increased risk of revenge attacks coming from al qaeda supporters and as you can

reports next to the operation one of them barack obama's presidential ambitions any arm either. the great then that a moment shrouded in secrecy as americans celebrated the killing of the nation's number one terrorist they had no other proof of his death but the word of their president they needed that give us a big win and we can walk tall and feel good well 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 either 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 kited beyond of his then borders in yemen bills of being covert growing strikes in pakistan they were overt and widely criticised 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 a little opponents and this is true whether and libya and iraq and pakistan and afghanistan and many analysts say merry christmas 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 ally 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 a resistance of hatred of revenge and so in terms of keeping the american people safe that's a ridiculous notion the u.s. has a track record of policies that that fired like arming and training the afghan which are heading in the 1980's in their fight against the soviet troops subsequently the same which i had the militants turned their wrappers and training against the u.s. among those supported by the us was also some of bin ladin whose group eventual evolved into al qaida one. episode you know and with.

great success. but 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 sees obama and now it's his reelection plants 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 that his speech last night he kept stressing several times i ordered i promised eyes such and such it was clearly done for you know the statement was

clearly word for political advantage that it was unity and joy over the death of these evil man here it's been missing the bigger picture in the last twenty years the war on terror and the way. campaign has burned them more enemies than friends and get our boarding home watched part. well with aleisha of a beloved subsiding or a question of what his fate might mean for the world next so we're about out with patrick hayes reporter for spike online like joining us from london tonight i'm around the world in the u.s. in particular as we've witnessed can only be described as the euphoria of bin laden's death taking into account that has kept a very low profile since september the eleventh two thousand and one is all that attention justified do you think because i think it's very striking and actually i think in many ways that's most significant aspects of what we've seen over the last couple of days which is this massively disproportionate reaction to the killing of

bin laden as if it's like some historic turning point for humanity you know you see world leaders coming out of bomber of course the people who also like banking and silvio berlusconi all saying this is this great political historical events and i think there's a really telling disconnect between actually the reality of the situation which is effectively you have this aging sickly old man who really hasn't done anything of real political significance for a long time and the great kind of triumph against evil is that the western leaders are really kind of starting to trumpet at the moment is that disconnect i think is very revealing why is that is it because people just kind of wanted one face to focus on i guess for the world's ills here. well i think certainly there is a sense obama. and bush before him turned some bin laden into this kind of symbol of evil following the nine eleven attacks and i think in many ways the interesting

thing about osama bin laden is he is actually more a creation of the west than he is a real political or kind of terrorist threats in himself in many ways he kind of feeds vampire like all three insecurities of the west if you listen to a lot of his rhetoric that he came out sort of their various books been published which is going to compile his thoughts they actually see more of the kind of the self loathing in criticism that you hear from western critics antiwar critics environmentalists critics he is in many ways just kind of leeching off of the west so i mean i would shed no tears for the fact that osama bin laden has flown but i really think he is a symbol or of the west's own making the symbol of evil. what about the fact that still there's been no photographic evidence of his death have been various rumors going around all day that it might out and latest we're hearing now is the white house is going to put any pictures forward what is their. well i think what was

interesting here is obviously what i think is actually very telling about this is just how kind of preplanned it was and in many ways they're trying to you know they're of the slightly nervous about feeding conspiracy theorists but also on the other hand equally about really stirring up kind of hatred. kind of among muslim groups who may find what they did disrespectful so they're kind of caught between a rock and a hard place in how they deal with this but i think again it comes to the fact that a lot of this is all about a kind of a p.r. campaign they have they haven't really thought a lot of these issues through that clearly and really. i think they'll have problems either way they deal with it and i don't think it speaks of any kind of conspiracy to try to cover something up next i mean you know the writing on the operation success today advisors announced in the u.s. is now capable of destroying the leaders but why it is taking at the think head

make a capable of all of us. well i think it does in many ways because i think in some ways it was always a very kind of a more first nebulous kind of mass which doesn't really have didn't really have any real leader only many ways in love and hasn't been coordinating any of the attacks it seemed questionable if he had really that much influence in court making the attacks on nine eleven he was a symbolic figure heads but how much actual influence he had in planning attacks and let's not forget al qaeda haven't really had that many significant terrorist attacks in the past five years they've been a few more. kind of groups of trying to imitate what later in the they haven't really had any kind of major amount for a long time their impact is on the way in in many ways in lives in this part of the old political order in the middle east which is now being actually overthrown not by the west but by the uprisings that you see in the arab spring and you see new

movements in the in the middle east which is coming from the people which is going to get rid of people like that after we were going to get rid of people i've been larger than bring about a new democratic aides they don't need the west to go and fight battles for them. spiked online magazine joining us on the line from london thank you. meantime check police have reportedly detained three russian citizens suspected of terrorist activities according to russia's foreign ministry of the manner allegedly from russia's volatile north caucasus region has been approaching over there for us. police in the czech republic have arrested several men suspected of terrorism and there are three russian citizens among those eight arrested now chad police sources are saying that they were forging documents and smuggling weapons as well as explosives as they were planning a terror attack now these people are also believed to have links with an islamic extremist group that is currently operating in developed old republic of dagestan

here in russia's north caucasus and according to the spokesman for the russian embassy in the czech republic three of the eight arrested are from chechnya and dagestan at the moment there are being questioned and further investigation process is underway meanwhile russia's north caucasus really remains the main training ground for terrorists in the country and though this area has witnessed a number of anti terror raids in the last several weeks and dozens of militants with links to al qaida and how being wiped out including a chief out quite a in the region close associates to russia's most wanted terrorist and the leader of the militant. still of this area that is really is the most volatile district in the country as these mountains provide a convenience zone for many militants to hide and train for further terror attacks but shortly before the u.s. produce good logs death nato forces attacked colonel gadhafi compound and despite nato claims they told the military target some say it was an attempt to get rid of

the libyan leader himself. it was a does the good varied under the barrage of breaking news we've been leader moammar gadhafi has twenty nine year old son and three grandchildren were reportedly killed by need to 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 will shed anything coming from libya the idea of extra judicial assassinations just days after attempted to assassinate or could after he had 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 but in this case 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 military objects insisting

they're not targeting any one person in particular this despite two recent years strikes targeting known whereabouts of qaddafi this was an attack on us so you know your instructor it was personal they murdered three of us for. what it is so. well i think. anybody with any you're associating with they really want to get you know and you know. you respect. this was all a crime but of course being a libya is all or all of the nato countries are committing war crimes every single day attacking civilians it's showing certain audience. and the bombings to riots with gadhafi supporters the storming the italian and british embassies in protest and some believe should the coalition forces continue on their chosen course in libya the situation will go from bad to worse nato's activity this

has really strange then that loyalty. it's going to resolve for supporters for each . tripoli. loyalists strongholds it's just the psychology of war anywhere when you. are resisting group resolve gets stronger. and this history shows the situation in libya made. already familiar to what is done politicians we have to give full credit to the. political establishment of the military establishment always very creative in finding anything first it was a union and it was the russian federation that came and some of them lodged in saddam hussein and these days a. fee. makes one. whenever the need arises also has expressed concern over the straits the libyan times saying the coalition is

using excessive force proposals from countries like russia china and india i'm going to be noticed by the west and will need to decide ultimately who knows how many more lives will be lost and you know. check what's on our website. course of all the latest news for you we've got features and videos to check out which take a look at this one we wish you were in on this play pictures of an airplane spreading out of control of one of moscow's. ok but it said he would take your stomach but would they just look at some problem. expectedly with the steering mechanism anyway there was a happy ending to it all pictures about. plus ecologist fighting against ocean pollution may soon resort to bugs that help scientists have discovered a bacteria that feeds on plastic garbage.

thank you. george once again bracing himself for a way event a government rallies later this month the opposition group what they call suckers really is criminal regime so they're determined to make united stand against abuse of power because a culture of rich over reports the government's made it clear that dissent isn't something it's willing to tolerate. would such a gorgeous shiny with hospitality according to the president. he won two words it's political animals i want to tell the russian people that they will always be welcome in georgia their supporters their stories their students businessmen journalists the simplest broad. minded sides are due on the who holds a russian passport describes the kind of hospitality mr saakashvili stalking about

a year ago prior to meeting with the it's a visit to washington precious federal security service the f.s.b. was originally in charge of the investigation they were responsible for gathering most of the evidence from charges could see him receive over twenty years behind bars he became a very featured of figure in of the media after the so-called spy scandal of last year when eleven people were charged with espionage in the united states all of those were tried and found guilty of espionage they were later returned to russia as part of an exchange deal between moscow and washington some of course even enjoying quite a media. interesting a lifestyle like and of chapman of the so-called names the sixty ninety agencies a very prominent figure in russia featured quite frequently in the various news

reports even since i can did make the news today he of course was one of the four men that were exchanged for the a ten people found guilty of espionage and he actually won a settlement in the european human rights court under which russia has to pay him a financial compensation for all that he has suffered whilst in prison in russia but despite the fact that this man's name still features in the headlines he's not of course gathering as much attention as alex on the right see a very high ranking military official from russia's foreign intelligence. service who has it seems was the one responsible for. leaking names of all those found guilty of espionage in the united states officials in washington. over the world use in brief at least two people have been killed and dozens in utah for a tornado hit new zealand's largest city all clear the suburbs the worst affected
