ten am in moscow i matras a 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 ten years ago many are questioning what's next for the military operation there tremendous cost of the campaign both in money and human lives suggests the temptation is big for washington to declare mission accomplished and pull out what is our he's a very important iraq war spent a lot in the death is unlikely to improve life in the war torn country. nine and a 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 it was unable to make the progress that we have made and i think it's possible that by the end of this year a year. since two thousand and three washington has repeatedly per cleaned turning

points for a conflict that critics call a failing 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 on a car the insurgency grows in size karzai government gets weaker and violence gets worse 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 deep it a defining moment in the war against al qaeda the war on terrorism decapitating the head of the snake 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 the western leaders are really kind of the trumpets of the moments. before him turned into this kind of symbol of evil following the nine eleven attacks he is actually more a creation of the west than he is you know a real political kind of terrorist threats in himself u.s. officials branded bin ladin killing as a success and strategic blow to al qaeda it is going to have i think very important reverberations through. the area on the other kind of network in that area and i think you're going to see them start eating themselves from within more and more this as some see the u.s. is turning and spinning fiction into fact in afghanistan itself it's not going to have that much of a we're fighting for the afghan taliban in 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 greenup or not partying new york. publisher and editor of the nation magazine katrina vanden heuvel believes the ten year war on terror by the u.s. hasn't made the world any 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 adviser would visor president commit to learn more should have his head examined i think it is a moment to reappraise the national security template in this country which has not made this country safer or more secure now the pretext for war in afghanistan has

been radically. len morris has led wars fighting terrorism have done little to costs the cost if you connect that to people's lives and they see that it's not really in a more security a global war won't make as much sense and it will require let's be honest the vents on the ground to show these policy makers the time's up. the latest issue of artie's cross talk peter labelling gets discussed how the world will change after bin laden's death and what will happen if the u.s. withdraws 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 know i think 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 and unfortunately i think that's what would happen. if you look at. many different points of view on the story you can find many of them on our website our team. there today is an interview with political expert max in the shift change though he thinks so song that rodney became a mythical figure in u.s. politics implying service significance in the bag that he was buried at sea in our blog section u.s. base blogger may not balances the deficit a lot maybe significant but outdated as there's a whole new generation of english speaking internet savvy jihad is out there. and see what's there already done to prevent the spread. of the official.

tool called touch from the choose an option. on the. video. the old girls. with the palm of your. call as new nato airstrikes have heard been heard in the libyan capital. over in a there is little sign of progress for either side of the conflict and it's intensifying talk among made nato members about a possible land operation their lives a spokesman admits there is the need for a new u.n. resolution to send in troops but as artie's daniel bushell reports the move threatens to massively escalate the violence already going on. months of libya's reached it did in according to nato libya's leader colonel gadhafi is dug in defensive positions the wall civilian casualties from bombing continue to mount

it's a video conference with russian students' needs a spokesman review this solution send did ground troops. the u.n. security council should adopt a new resolution on libya was aleutian one hundred seventy three there's not invisible line operations we need a new resolution was done forces planned that all along says a leading us law professor clearly what we're seeing unfold here in libya is a pre existing war ploy by nato by the british by the french by the americans with their movie everything now is going up or in the play and which is why i believe since they have failed to our polls darkie what steps are solved far the next stage will be moving into a ground invasion and the powers have to push the international community into supporting the war and that's one author protecting civilians was the claim that

grabbing the country's resources is the real goal this is one of the most the. reason transgressions of the 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 work early according to the evidence that's leaking out covertly arming the opposition to gadhafi in hopes of grabbing control of the oil and 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. not only in the air but also on the ground and maybe this will solve the problem from a perspective for the nato countries. are the ones who. are. forming from thirty thousand feet coalition soldiers feel fairly safe potentially

war activists warn putting troops on the ground risks not just more civilian killing 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 for minister sergey lavrov thinks nato has already gone far beyond the first u.n. resolution to maintain a no fly zone he hits a second resolution to move in ground troops may not come as easy now several nations feel tricked. if anybody wants to ask for this one and it will come to the u.n. security council we will discuss try to understand what is planned because the digressions from the mandate that we are seeing now are enough to learn lessons with international opposition on the rois states face an uphill task to make the case for more war britain's prime minister will dealt sending ground troops to libya his

defense secretary admitted to parliament 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. london. in about twenty minutes you can catch an interview with a british member of parliament one of the few voting against taking action in libya he sees the air offensive quickly heading to the ground here's a preview. this is the if you like the vagueness of the resolution because it does talk about forcing a new flyers and protecting civilians and using measures to implement policy. to try. and control something. i think we have to be very careful before troops. you've got to make sure you go around you've got to make sure that it is the measure of last resort.

and i'm not sure. when it comes to libya as well so i think. we have. lost our wants the u.s. to guarantee its new missile interceptor base in eastern europe won't pose a threat to russia he. plans to host part of america's defense shield joins us live from moscow with more sara so the issue of missile defense again causing a ruckus between moscow and washington was about this time. well most cases calling as he said his. defense shield. albeit threats to russia's strategic nuclear forces this comes after the announcement yesterday there remain is a u.s. . military one of its. remaining. that it wouldn't be

a threat to russia but the russian foreign ministry has released a statement saying that in the circumstances it's become a necessity for washington to get the believe that it will be a threat and that this decision seems to go ahead without a god. school. offense. now that's going to be the first. deployments there have been previous plans. for the cities and planes and the czech republic. in two thousand and nine and the initiative by president. they signed the treaty on. the start treaty at the russia has stood at the time that it reserves the right to rule as. well washington to act in a way good because the european statement healthy u.s. . insistence in a way that most would have. stayed a calling from assurances from washington this latest me. fly for us outside the

foreign ministry in moscow thanks for the. call is mounting in russia to introduce chemical castration for pedophiles i can see the current laws are slack and allow criminals to re offend but there are those who believe castration is far from a quick fix for such a complex problem or he's worried if an ocean next point. elina is a mother of three last summer her four year old daughter was raped counseling learned what happened she found the man responsible and beat him to death. and i want him back again i 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 virginity to re offend age learn to just as is often used as an attorney to
