analysis for you from the business desk in twenty minutes time. one pm in moscow i met treasurer bring you today's news 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 money and human life suggests the temptation is big for washington to declare mission accomplished and pull out but archie's marine important i reports bin laden's death is unlikely to improve life in the war torn country. nine 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
5:02 am
there is what is unable to make the progress that we have made i think it's possible that by the end of this year a year. since two thousand and three washington has repeatedly claimed turning points for a conflict that critics call are failing. 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 there every year as we spend more money and the insurgency grows in size as government gets weaker and the 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 deep it

a defining moment in the war against al qaeda the war on terrorism if you can put in 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 evil that the western leaders are really kind of starting to trumpet at the moment. bush before him turned some bin laden 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 all kind of terrorist threats in himself u.s. officials branded bin ladin killing as a success and strategic blow to al qaeda and it is going to have i think very important reverberations throughout. on the kind of network in that area i think you're going to see them start eating themselves from within more and more this as some see the u.s. turning and spinning fiction into fact you know i can't stand itself it's not going

to have that much. we're fighting taliban fighting afghan taliban in afghanistan we're not fighting you have a new generation of young radicals who've 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. all the work that america waged to get him still struggles to find a conclusion or enough or not an artsy new york. editor and publisher of the nation magazine katrina vanden heuvel believes the ten year long war on terror by the u.s. hasn't made the world safer. we see the cost of the land with even secretary of defense robert gates said it was quite a few weeks ago and he advisor would visor president committed to lend or should

have his head examined i think it is a moment of praise that 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 devilish len morris these landlords fighting terrorism have done little the costs because if you connect that to people's lives and they see that it's not bringing them more security a global war won't make as much sense and it will require let's be honest the bends on the ground to show these policymakers that time is up. the latest issue of cross talk host piro of ellen guest discuss how the world will change after bin laden's death and what will happen if the u.s. immediately pulls out from afghanistan full program coming up later here is sleep. 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.
5:06 am
or a western interest so i think you 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 things have a way of repeating themselves you know the water flows the same way down through the ocean if you don't change its course and unfortunately i think that's what would happen. for a variety of opinions on the story check out our website and should there today to interview with political experts maxim should change though he had to think spin the modern has become a mythical figure in u.s. politics and find certain significance in the fact he was buried at sea and our blog section american blogger named not found says the death of bin laden may be significant but quite outdated as there's a new generation of a english speaking internet savvy jihad is already out there live on to already dot

bombing from thirty thousand feet coalition soldiers feel fairly safe potentially war activists war putting troops on the ground risks not just more civilian killing but nato deaths as well the further away they get from high tech and they and the nearer they get to know tech then the greater the danger of casualties on both sides turkey china i'm hopeful criticize the bombardment of libya for minister sergey lavrov thinks nato has already gone 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 well several nations feel tricked if anybody wants to ask for this mandate welcome to the un security council we will discuss trying to understand what is planned because that aggressions 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
