nine am in moscow i'm mad trezise good to have you with us here on r t our top story with the u.s. having killed the man who was the reason for going to war in afghanistan nearly a decade ago many are questioning what's next for the military operation there tremendous cost of the campaign both in human lives and money suggest the temptation is big for washington to declare mission accomplished and pull out but authorities marine important i reports bin laden's death is on the likely to improve life in the war torn country. now i know half years on the war in afghanistan has grown visibly worse while u.s. rhetoric surrounding it has consistently spun in circles we are making progress that is what is unable to make the progress that we have made i think it's possible that by the end of this year he will have. since two thousand and three washington
1:02 am
has repeatedly per cleaned turning points for a conflict that critics call our failing a quagmire the reality is that things are still mean that things are worse than they were this time last year every year we send more troops every year as we spend more money and the insurgency grows in size karzai as government gets weaker and violence gets worse and nearly fifteen hundred u.s. soldiers and ten thousand afghan civilians have been killed in a war costing america two billion dollars per week meanwhile after assassinating the man it's been hunting since two thousand and one the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden i disconnect between what the u.s. says and what the world sees may have deeper a defining moment in the war against al qaeda the war on terrorism decapitated the head of the snake affectively you have aging sickly old man he really hasn't done
1:03 am
anything of real political significance for a long time and the great kind of triumph against evil was that the western leaders are really kind of suffering the trumpets at the moment. bush before him turned into this kind of a symbol of evil following the nine eleven attacks is actually more a creation of the west than he is a real political kind of terrorist threats in himself u.s. officials branded bin laden's killing as a success and strategic blow to al qaeda it is going to have i think very important reverberation. throughout the area on the al qaeda network in that area i think you're going to see them start even themselves from within more and more this as some see the u.s. turning and spinning fiction into fact in afghanistan itself it's not going to have that much of overall were fighting taliban or for the afghan taliban here in
1:04 am
afghanistan we're not fighting al qaeda you have a new generation of young radicals who have grown up watching these wars over the past ten years that are far more radical than their predecessors osama bin laden claimed responsibility for the nine eleven attacks that killed nearly three thousand people and devastated new york city nearly ten years later his death is being reported as a victory for the u.s. war the war that america waged to get him still struggles to find a conclusion. hartstein new york. yet are and publisher of the nation magazine katrina veteran who believes that ten year war on terror by the u.s. hasn't made the world even safer we see the cost of a land war that even secretary of defense robert gates said it was quite a few weeks ago and he adviser were guys for president commit to to learn or should have is not exactly i think it is a moment to reappraise the national security template in this country which is not
1:05 am
made this country safer or more secure now the pretext for war in afghanistan has been radically. len morris these land wars fighting terrorism are just little the costs the cost if you connect that to people's lives and they see that it's not reaching them or security a global or won't make as much sense and it will require let's be honest the bends on the ground to show these policy makers the time's up. in the latest edition of our he's cross talk host peter lavelle and guest discuss how the world will change after bin laden's death and what will happen if the u.s. pulls out from afghanistan immediately. what is the vacuum that you're going to leave behind and are you going to wind up having afghanistan become again a haven for groups that will attack the u.s. or western interests so i think he might do that and hope and pray that the next major attack doesn't come from afghanistan and doesn't come on his watch but you
1:06 am
know i things have a way of repeating themselves you know the water flows the same way down to the ocean if you don't change its course soon and unfortunately i think that's what would happen. as a different perspectives on the story you can find all of them and more on our web site r t v dot com and dreamer today's interview with a political expert maxim ship shango he thinks osama bin laden has become a mythical figure in u.s. politics and if a certain significance in the fact that he was buried at sea in our blog section are u.s. based blogger named not palin says the death of bin laden may be significant but outdated since there is now a new generation of english speaking internet savvy jihad it's already out there. and see a different point of view. the official commission. pulled

continue to mount it's a video conference with russian students and nato spokesman review this solution cindy ground troops. the u.n. security council should adopt a new resolution on libya was aleutian one nine hundred seventy three there's not invisible line operations we need a new resolution western forces plan that's all along says a leading u.s. law professor clearly what we're seeing unfold in libya is a pre existing war play out by nato by the british by the french by the americans who are ten movies everything now is going according to plan which is why i believe that since they have failed to our polls khadafi with these steps are solved start the next stage will be moving into a ground invasion and the powers have jukes the international community into supporting the war those one or the protecting civilians was the claim but grabbing
1:09 am
the country's resources is the real goal of this and one of the most the. reason transgressions of rights of nation national sovereignty and international law that we've seen in the post-war period the west the u.s. france and britain have been called berkeley according to the evidence that's leaking out covertly arming the opposition to gadhafi in hopes of grabbing control of the oil and in the different parts of libya the libyan government promise is still for nato if it sends in ground troops some agree such a war may be tougher than expected we will see increased activity not only in the air but also on the ground and maybe this will solve the problem from a perspective or a major countries or maybe it was simply. a window. forming from thirty thousand feet coalition soldiers feel fairly safe she will activists
1:10 am
want putting troops on the ground risks not just more civilian killings but deaths as well the further away they get from high tech and they and the nearer they get to low tech then the greater the danger of casualties on both sides turkey china and russia who will criticize the bombardment of libya foreign minister sergei lavrov thinks nato has already called for beyond the first un resolution to maintain a no fly zone he hits the second resolution to move in ground troops may not come as easy now several nations feel tricked. if anybody wants to ask for this mandate welcome to the un security council we will discuss try to understand what was planned because the digressions from the money that we're seeing now are enough to learn lessons with international opposition on the rois nato states face and helping build tossed to make the case for more war britain's prime minister will dealt sending ground troops to libya his defense secretary admitted to parliament
1:11 am
they planned exactly that but you have members good at the number of civilian deaths from nato bombing a drone likely to welcome escalation of the conflict that your boss your party london. about an hour from now you can catch an interview with a british member of parliament one of the few who voted against taking action in libya he sees the air offensive quickly heading toward the ground here's a preview. this is where the if you like the vagueness of the resolution kicks in because it does talk about to force in a new fly zone and protecting civilians and using all necessary measures to implement the policy you could theoretically argue that all necessary measures includes attacking the command and control center in tripoli is the beautiful and i think we have got to be very careful before you commit troops to buckle. you've got to make sure you've got the moral high ground you've got to make sure that it is the measure of last resort and where all other avenues of negotiations have been
1:12 am
exhausted and i'm not sure we met those criteria when it came to libya as well so i think less and still need to be learned and i'm afraid we're repeating past and. moscow wants the u.s. to guarantee its new missile interceptor base in eastern europe what pose a threat to russia this comes as romania and hours plans those part of the u.s. defense shield artesia are piskun all of has more. well this time this will be be a so would the short range interceptor missiles and romania is also allowing washington to use its biggest a seaport and an air base we also know that the missile base will be controlled by remaining enough stories even though it will house up to five hundred american staff members and the remaining president has said that by housing the space remaining is a cheating the highest a security level in its history and he also stressed that this will not be
1:13 am
a threat to russia's national security watch this is 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 in poland he also wanted to build or read or base in the czech republic all this caused by wave of criticism from russia actually this was for a while one of the biggest stumbling points in the real lesions between moscow and washington with russia saying that such a system would break the balance off which it forces on the european continent and we're also create rights to russia's national security so be a bomb a administration scrap 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 a joint project including the anti missile defense system moscow
1:14 am
a strongly for 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 the world's but action it seems so the alliance has its own plans on the m 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. later today in brussels the chief of staff of russia and nato will hold crucial talks with this sensitive issue definitely being brought up we'll bring you the latest developments as they happen. the call was mounting in russia to introduce chemical castration for pedophiles activists say the current laws are slack and allow criminals to reoffend but there are those who believe castration is far from a quick fix to a such a complex problem or he's maria an ocean as well. elina is a mother of three last summer her four year old daughter was raped gansler learned
1:15 am
what happened she found the man responsible and beat him to death. and i want him back i can only said i just wanted to be sure that this animal was punished and would never do such a terrible thing he did to my little girl. sadly it is case is not an isolated one in russia in a country where seventy percent of paedophiles up and rolled with their duty to re offend age learn to justice is often used as an attorney to a court of law so well for him lynching is inadmissible but it starts with the state fails if poor mothers and fathers knew that offenders would get fifteen years in prison or more would be castrated before being released or never be released without a satellite tracking chip as in the usa the police and know about their every step i'm pretty sure they would not kill them. they have been numerous attempts to toughen the laws on paedophiles in russia in
