twenty years ago the largest country in. this series it. must have been. each began a journey. where did it take. gold gone as washington finally wipes out the man it's been hunting in afghanistan for so long we ask what's next for the country that paid an enormous price for the u.s. . stock in violence the stalemate in libya from the small talk about coalition ground troops going in but experts say the move could spike the conflict the death toll enormously. debate rages in russia as a growing number of sexual assaults on children are sponsoring an initiative to introduce chemical castration. also this hour the u.s.

government is well on its way to having its debt ceiling by early august what have analysis for you from the business desk in twenty minutes. with r.t. live from moscow where it's now or just after three pm 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 in that tremendous cost to the campaign both in human lives and money suggests the temptation is big for washington to declare mission accomplished and put out its arteries more important i reports and lawtons death is unlikely to improve life in the water on 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 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 per claimed 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 to send more troops every year as we spend more money and the insurgency grows in size cars are 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 deeper

a defining moment 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 are really kind of starting to trumpet at the moment. bush before him turns 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. 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 reverberations through. the area on the other side 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 in afghanistan itself it's not going to have that much of overall we're fighting the taliban for the afghan taliban here 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. the war that america waged to get him still struggles to find a conclusion. hartstein to your. publisher and editor of nation magazine katrina vanden heuvel was that the ten year war on terror by the u.s. has not made the world and you say. we see the cost of a land war that even secretary of defense robert gates said it was quite

a few weeks ago any advisor who advised presidents to commit to land war should have his head examined i think it is a moment to reappraise the national security chaplet in this country which has not made this country safer or more secure now the pretext for war in afghanistan has been radically gather len morris he's learned war is fighting terrorism i've done little to 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 a balance on the ground to show these policymakers that time's up. there dissipation of his crosstalk appeared look well as guest will be discussing how the world will change after bin laden's death and what will happen if the u.s. pulls out from afghanistan and the full program is coming your way this hour here on out. 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 through the ocean if you don't change its course then and unfortunately i think that's what would happen. if. you would see enough of any variety of opinions on this story and others just check out our website of course r.t. dot com and bring a look right now featuring that today is an interview with political expert macsyma ship the things that. has become a mythical figure in u.s. politics and finds itself and significance in the fact that he was buried at sea

and if you look further you can see on our blog section here our american blog that may not found says the death of bin laden may be significant but quite outdated as there is now a whole new generation of perfect english speaking internet savvy jihadists article or for a different. job or your social. life pulled from the dumpster. on the. video on demand. my old girls. with the palm of your. question on r.t.e. dot com. as fresh nato air strikes have been heard in the libyan capital overnight there's still little sign of any progress for either side in the conflict that's intensifying talk among nato members about a possible land invasion the alliance's

a spokesman has admitted there's a need for a new u.n. resolution to send the troops in societies that daniel a bushell reports of threatens to massively escalate the violence that's already in effect there. a real bombardments of libya's reached it did in according to nato libya's leader colonel gadhafi is dug in defensive positions meanwhile civilian casualties from allied bombing continue to mount so it's a video conference with russian students nato spokesman review this solution send in ground troops. u.n. security council should adopt a new resolution and we're resolution one thousand seven hundred three there's not invisible man operations we need a new resolution. and forces plonked there all along says a leading u.s. law professor early what we're seeing our own fault here in libya is a pre existing war plan by nato by the british by the french by the

americans who care moved everything now is following a point in the way in which is why i believe since they have failed to do polls could be with the steps so far the next stage will be moving into a ground invasion nato powers have to pass the international community into supporting war and that's one of them protecting civilians was the claim but driving the country's resources is the real goal this is one of the most the. reason for as aggressions of the nation national sovereignty and international law that we've seen in the post-war period the west the u.s. and france and britain have been called work lee 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's 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 the perspective of the nato countries but maybe. the one who. pulled me in from thirty thousand feet coalition soldiers feel fairly safe i don't see what activists want putting troops on the ground risks not just more civilian killing but me two deaths as well the further away they get from high. tech and the and the nearer they get to know tech then the greater the danger of casualties on both sides turkey china and i'm to russia criticize the bombardment of libya for minister sergey lavrov thinks nato has already gone beyond the first un 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 money it welcome to the un security council we will discuss try to understand what is planned because the digressions from the money that we are seeing now are enough to learn lessons with international opposition on the rois nato states face an uphill task to make the case for more war while 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 that you want your party london. the next hour here are so you can catch an interview with a british member of parliament one of the few who voted against taking action in libya and since the air offensive quickly heading into the ground here's a preview. this is the if you like the vagueness of the resolution kicks in because it does talk about enforcing

a no fly zone and protecting civilians and using all necessary measures to implement the policy you could theoretically if you will in the syrian neighbors and police and threaten. and control center in tripoli is debatable and i think we have got to be very careful before the troops the battle. you've got to make sure you've got the moral high ground we've got to make sure that it is the measure of last resort and where all other avenues of negotiations have been exhausted and i'm not sure we met those criteria when it came to libya as well so i think the lesson still need to be learned and i'm afraid we're repeating process. let's go wants the u.s. to guarantee that this new missile interceptor base in eastern europe will not pose a threat to russia as comes as romania announced plans to host parts of america's defense shield parties that has more from moscow. most case calling for legal

assurances from washington that is your pin missile defense shield won't target will be a threat to russia's strategic be careful says now this comes of yesterday's announcement of the remaining is going to haze a u.s. short range missile interceptor system home one of its bases not the first such deployment in europe it is actually remaining is actually plan b. for the u.s. there were previous plans to host the similar but long range missile inserts and poland but now they sponsor scraps by the a-bomb a administration in two thousand and nine off to russia are opposed in saying that it could be a breach of the neatly of balance now since and those sides have maintained dialogue and have managed to sign a treaty on the reduction is to teach be clear on this that most gay has said to them reserves the right to with two from that agreement if the us press ahead with its missile defense system in eastern europe in a way you wish russia

a place is now russia has always been strongly full of joint anti missile defense system and indeed all going towards home not subject to games he continued the foreign ministry here saying they're really in the circumstances and with the recent developments and the the these legal guarantees from the us and we can't speak we should certainly have these talks in a joint anti missile defense system again to see. that is so for the world later today in brussels chiefs of staff of russia and nato will be holding a crucial talks with this sensitive issue definitely going to be brought up when you order a better balance. a call is mounting here 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 that castration is far from a quick fix to such a complex problem that is where the national has the story. ne ne's

a mother of three last summer her four year old daughter was raped cancelling learns what happened she found the man responsible and beat him to death even though they now want him back i can only say that 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 cle fans are paroled with their virginity to re offend age learn to justice is often used as an eternity to 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 would never be released without a satellite tracking chip as in the usa a police to know about their every step i'm pretty sure they would not kill them. they've been numerous attempts to toughen the

laws and paedophiles in russia in a decade dozens of bills stipulating chemical castration or life imprisonment have been discussed way to stay duma but not a single one has passed and a few more but poor peter files aren't without support in russia this means some police officers receive money for allowing brother walls and dance to operate with members of the cord system equipped to criminals but i am not all. talking about the child porn industry there's so much money in so many people involved in this corruption evil is too hard to fight or goggle but some don't give up and fight their own war so he's hiding his face he says the country's paedophiles on hunting for him gathering information from these papers and t.v. has created an online paedophile database with child profiles and forto what. ninety percent of cases of child abuse is real people should know who they are they
