tonight on r t was the milestone in the war on terror just a pre-election stunt critics doubt al qaeda will crumble after the death of osama bin laden would believe the timing 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 is hospitable towards what a russian relative of no position deed was done by threats of violence from the police and. also court summons for the man who blew on

a chaplain's cover throwing out of the wolves along with ten other russian agents in the us during last year's transatlantic spice sound. watching r t welcome just after ten pm choose tonight here in moscow my name is kevin zero in on the top story less than two days after a suburb in large 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 however 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 coming from al qaeda supporters and those artes girl if she can reports next the operation would have done barack obama's
2:02 pm
presidential ambitions any harm either. the great been dead a moment shrouded in secrecy as americans celebrate the killing of the nation's number one terrorist they had no other proof of his death but the word of their president he needed to give us a big we didn't speak. i would feel good but sure you 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 all owing 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.
2:03 pm
has been long chasing all kited beyond of ghana's then borders in yemen those of being approved were drone strikes in pakistan they were overt and widely criticised for the scores of civilians killed in the attacks the question some ask now is put the success of killing bin ladin in pakistan a good thing was more of a carte blanche we're carrying out strikes in other countries it will be used to justify further wars greater repression at all and more acts tortured judicial targeted assassinations against political opponents and this is true whether and libya and iraq and pakistan and afghanistan many analysts say mary case 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 a life forces and led by the united states has left afghanistan as unstable as ever
2:04 pm
the war on terror has the ability to allow the u.s. to carry out military operations that sense 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 like arming and training the afghan mujahideen in the 1980's in their fight against the soviet troops subsequently the same with jackie the militants turned their weapons and training against the us among those supported by the us was osama bin ladin whose group of eventually evolved into al qaida one great. episode and. we're still seeing the great. number. one
2:05 pm
lesson was learnt victory over evil makes great television and approval ratings well the man in charge. of allah 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 his reelection plans he's been slipping in the polls over inconclusive wars overseas and economic woes at home it's 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 the 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 eyes such and such and it was clearly done for you know this statement was clearly worded for political advantage at
2:06 pm
a time of unity and joy over the death of this evil man and there has been missing the bigger picture in the last twenty years the war on terror and the way. that has earned them one animals but. then a second one who was hard to. kill is patrick henningsen says his son bin laden's death extend president obama's time in office and confirm it confirm him as a wartime leader. i think initially for the us there's two things first we need to look at the fact the current administration the u.s. is going into a new election cycle in two thousand and twelve now what this announcement by bin laden achieves for him is 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 kinetically this administration is suffering this
2:07 pm
gives them some credence overseas and also if the u.s. chooses to engage in a new conflict like the libya who are in 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. check police have reportedly to take three russian citizens suspected of terrorist activities says russia's foreign ministry the men are allegedly from russia's volatile north caucuses region that even did a cochon of his there for us. police in the czech republic to 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 deval it'll republic of dagestan
2:08 pm
here in russia's north caucasus and according to the spokesman for the russian embassy in the czech republic three old 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 the world this area has witnessed a number of anti terror raids in the last several weeks and dozens of militants with links to al qaida have been wiped out including a chief al qaida agent in the region close associates to russia's most wanted terrorist model and the leader of the militants if you stand still in this area that is really the most volatile district in the country ask these mountains to provide a convenience zone for many militants to hide and train for further terror attacks . shortly before the u.s. program uses breedlove means this force is a target colonel gadhafi compound and despite nato claims that they bombed
2:09 pm
a military target some say it was an attempt to get rid of the libyan rebels so. it was a test the buried under the barrage of breaking news libyan 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 us president and nonce the death of the world's number one terrorist news which were shadowed anything coming from the idea of extra judicial assassinations just days after an attempted 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 beginning and everyone loves to hate. the coalition commanders have protested they are in full compliance with the u.n. security council resolution on libya and only target notably objects insisting
2:10 pm
they're not targeting any one person in particular this despite two recent era strikes targeting known whereabouts of kentucky this was an attack on us you know your structure this was. a murder three of his grandchildren what it is science well i think it varied on why did it anybody with any you're associating with you know what they really want to do and you know. you respect still here this was a crime but of course being a libya is almost all of it complicit nato countries committing war crimes every single day attacking civilian targets showing certain audience. the bombings the sports riots with gadhafi supporters the storming the italian and british embassies and protests and some believe the coalition forces continue on their chosen course in libya the situation will go from bad to worse may tolls
2:11 pm
activities his only strength and the loyalty. the resolve of gadhafi supporters for each dropped on tripoli. loyalist strongholds it's just the psychology of war anywhere when you. are resisting group their resolve stronger and this history shows this is true certainly be a meat course already familiar to western politicians we have to give full credit to the us political establishment of the military establishment have been always very creative in finding enemies first it was a. russian federation and it was some of them larger than saddam hussein and these days of course we are the. next one coming in whenever the need arises also has expressed concern over the straits the libya various times saying recall
2:12 pm
this in is using excessive force but promises from countries like russia china and india have gone unnoticed by the west and while they don't decide ultimately call who knows how many more lives will be lost in all those who are two. more top stories online on a website called along with features and videos you can check out tonight you can log on to watch these pictures when planes go but this has been taken up to test it out after it was long in storage for years but as you can see not all went well probably something went wrong with the flight controls you know say good news is no passengers on board apart from the pilots safely but it's online tonight. and the colleges fighting against ocean pollution may soon resort the bugs for help as scientists discover a bacteria that's quite a bit iffy don't stick. romania's

2:14 pm
history and he also stressed that this will not be a threat to russia's national security well it's not the first time this discussion is going on in fact the romania is a washington's plan and b. when it comes to its a.m.d. plans in europe previously the bush administration wanted to build a base with a long range interceptor missiles aimed holdings he also wanted to build our radar base in the czech republic all of this caused a wave of criticism from a russia actually this a was for a while one of the biggest stumbling points in the lesions between moscow and washington with russia saying got such a system would break the balance all switching forces on the european continent and would also create a structure to russia's national security so the obama administration scraps these plans in fact for around a year or so there was a quite a lot of talk between moscow washington and nato on building up cooperation on more
2:15 pm
a joint project including the anti missile defense system moscow a strong before i joined and the 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 wars but action it seems so be alliance has its own plans on the am diva system in europe and is making decisions even on the exact locations of its aliments also on its own without even consulting with russia. you've got to skin off george is once again bracing itself for a wave of anti-government rallies later this month the opposition angry at what they called police criminal regime so they're determined to make united stand against abuse of power but as a country which over reports the government's made it clear that dissent isn't something it's willing to tolerate. would such be the georgia shiny with hospitality it quoting two presidents. even two words it's political
