from feinstein. starts on t.v. dot com. gold gone past washington finally wipes out the man it's been hunting in afghanistan for so long we are not snacks to the country that paid an enormous price for the u.s. led operation. stuck in the violence of a stalemate in libya problem small talk about coalition ground troops going in but experts say the move could spike the conflict and death toll enormously. bad debate rages here in russia as a growing number of sexual assaults on children sparks an initiative to introduce chemical castration for pedophiles.

worldwide news live from the heart of moscow this is r.t. welcome to the program now without us having it killed the man it was using is the reason we're going to war in afghanistan nearly ten years ago and many are questioning what's next for the military operation the tremendous cost of the campaign both in human lives and money suggests that the temptation is big for washington to declare mission accomplished and pull out results he's a marine at porton i reports bin laden's death is unlikely to improve life in that was torn country. nine 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 you will have. since two thousand and three washington has repeatedly or cleaned turning points for a conflict that critics call our failing quagmire the reality is that things are still mean that things are worse than they were this time last year every year and you 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 us says and what the world sees may have deepened the defining moments in the war against al qaeda the war on terrorism by 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 western leaders and really kind of starting to trumpet the moments. before and 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 a real political or kind of terrorist threats in himself u.s. officials branded bin ladin killing as a success and strategic blow to al qaeda but it is going to have i think. important reverberations. the area on the al qaeda 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 in afghanistan itself it's not going to have

that much of a role we're fighting powerband 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 for niamh party new york. well meanwhile publisher and editor of the nation and i can seem katrina vanden heuvel that the ten year war on terror by the u.s. has not made the world any safer we see the cost of a land war that you can secretary of defense robert gates said it was quite a few weeks ago and he advisor who advised presidents to commit to land war should have his head examined i think it is

a moment to reappraise 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 damaged len morris these land wars fighting terrorism i've done little the costs the cost if you connect that to people's lives and they see that it's not really in their more security a global war won't make as much sense and it will require let's be honest the bets on the ground to show these policymakers that time is up. now in the latest edition of oxys cross talk people of ellen is going to discuss how the world will change after bin laden's death and what will happen if the u.s. does pull out of afghanistan and mediately that program is coming your way next hour right here on r.t. . 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 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 if you know i 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. and across this coming your way next hour here with any for a variety of opinions on this story you can always check out our website of course as always you got caught up with it right now and here we are on our website there featuring today an interview with political expert macsyma chef two things that osama bin laden has become a mythical figure in u.s. politics and finds certain significance in the fact that he was very good see if you look further into our blogs section here on r.t.

resolution to send it troops but it's not easy daniel bush in our reports the move threatens to massively escalate the violence that's already there. aerial bombardments of libya's reached it did in according to nato libya's leader colonel gadhafi has dug in defensive positions meanwhile civilian casualties from allied bombing continue to mount it's a video conference with russian students and nato spokesman review this solution send in ground troops. the u.n. security council should adopt a new resolution on libya was also one nine hundred seventy three there's not invisible man operations we need a new resolution. and forces plan all along says a leading u.s. law professor only what we're seeing unfold in libya is a pre existing war ploy by nato by the british by the french by the americans with care moved everything now is following

a fork in the fire which is why i believe that since they have failed to our polls . which is steps solve far the next stage will be moving into a ground invasion nato powers have jukes the international community into supporting war and those one or them protecting civilians was the claim but growth in the country's resources is the real goal this is one of the most the. reason transgressions of rights of nation national sovereignty and international law that we've seen in the postwar period in the west the u.s. and 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 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 competition not only in

the average also on the ground and maybe this will solve the problem from a perspective i made friends or maybe. the one who. will mean from thirty thousand feet the coalition soldiers feel fairly safe but then see what activists want putting troops on the ground risks not just more civilian killing but in the deaths as well the further away they get from high. tech and the and the nearer the get to know tech then the greater the danger of casualties on both sides turkey china and russia 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 there are several nations feel tricked. if anybody wants to ask for this one it will come to the u.n.

security council we will discuss trying to understand what was planned because that integrations from the money 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 a bit it's a part of what they plan exactly that but you have members good at the number of civilian deaths from nato bombing a drone likely to welcome this collation of the conflict that it was your london. twenty minutes you can catch an interview with a british member of parliament one of the few voted against taking action and he sees the air offensive quickly heading to the ground as a preview. if you like of the resolution because it does talk about. protecting civilians and using measures to implement

policy. to try. and control some control. and i think we have got to be very careful. you've got to make sure you've got moral high ground you've got to make sure that the measure. has been exhausted and i'm not sure. as well so i think. you would r.t. moscow wants the us to guarantee a new missile interceptor base in eastern europe will not pose a threat to russia this comes as romania announced plans to host part of america's defense shield. from the russian capital. calling for a legal issue. that is you. can still. be
