really you believe this in science and technology from. the future. of a crossroads osama bin laden the reason for the u.s. invasion of afghanistan is gone and other world is waiting to see if his death will bring about change and how america handles the trucking conflict. airstrikes in libya seemingly getting in nato nowhere with the possibility of a ground attack looming ever more but experts say this was the alliance's plan all along. and the lacks the latest legislation and authorities in decisive actions against pedophiles in russia means many parents resort to adopting a vigilante justice. and in business the u.s.
9:01 am
government is the kids limit by early august they need to roll over half a kilo and sleep the country's fiscal stability in serious doubt join us for that and more in a business bulletin for. a very warm welcome to you this is r.t. live from moscow. now the symbolic reason for the u.s. presence in afghanistan has gone with the fall of osama bin laden the question is whether america is going to stick to its war plan this summer the u.s. forces are due to start pulling out from the country but there are fears that the recent milestone may put the brakes on the withdrawal and as artie's marina portnoy reports people are already asking if a bin laden's death was indeed a victory. 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
9:02 am
that is what it was unable to make the progress that we had made i think it's possible that by the end of this year you will. since two thousand and three washington has repeatedly cleaned turning points for a conflict that critics call a failing quagmire reality is that things are still made and that things are worse than they were this time last year every year as we send more troops every year as we spend more money on a car the insurgency grows in size karzai government gets weaker. 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 us
9:03 am
says and what the world sees may have deepened the 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 and really kind of suffering for trumpets at 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 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 but it is going to have i think very important reverberations throughout the. on the other kind of network you know the area and i think you're going to see them start eating themselves from within more
9:04 am
and more and this as some see the u.s. turning and spinning fiction into fact you know afghanistan itself it's not going to have that much of a role we're fighting the taliban for the 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 and 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 for nine parts in new york. now is the best time for the united states to pull out all of its troops out of afghanistan and to rethink its anti terror tactics this according to katrina vanden heuvel publisher and editor for u.s. based magazine called the nation. it's an important moment to consider where we go
9:05 am
from here and in my view this isn't a moment of opportunity. to end the war in afghanistan to find an expeditious end to this war and begin to do the tough regional international diplomacy that has required terrorism as an odious tactic you cannot lead to war against a tactic intelligent policing intelligence to plan a city counterterrorism i do think we will see a shift and that is celebrated mind the counterinsurgency tactics that have been the what general petraeus and others have tried to impose on our policies in afghanistan will now take a backseat counterterrorism has worked and i think we see the cost of a lamb with even secretary of defense robert gates said it was quite a few weeks ago any advisor who advised presidents to commit to to lend war should have his head examined i think it is a moment to reappraise that national security template in this country which is not
9:06 am
made this country safer or more secure. so what will bin laden's death really mean for the stability of the region and for the wider world that's the question being discussed by the people of l. and its guests on today as crosstalk that's coming your way at three thirty pm g.m.t. here. thirty thousand syrians have died in the last ten years in pakistan just from the terror attack so i don't see this being any in any way a success even though it was a somewhat lardons killing will probably generate more and more such attacks and if you look at the kind of success that obama is saying that this could be for a van a sunday and that doesn't make any sense either because even laden has been a man on the run he's he's got nor creational capability has not been involved in in battle he's not been involved in any way in the in the liberation war in afghanistan he when i was reading the papers today in pakistan. and the statement
9:07 am
by one of the sportsmen of the afghan taliban saying that they were actually surprised that some of the larger was actually alive up to now. with r.t. live from moscow now the chief al qaeda operative in the north caucasus has been killed by russians law enforcement a turkish national he's credited with being the international quartet for the region's terrorists that sir let's get more details on this right now we're joined by art is correspondent a diary live from moscow where the area high is just a few days after that al qaeda lost its top man and now and this is another one of his heads. tell us what happened here. comes from brussels. it's the.
9:08 am
operation. this is on. were killed in clashes with gangs in the bin laden area until she has been on the streets and one of them was our identified as torture seven dead there's a role turkish citizen was also known as. the pillars of the function. it is a mystery in offices forty two miles of russia's federal security services by the school system ninety nine to one from georgia has been missing and they're up until now police still disagree disparate criticism of criticism also known as mug on the head in a special operation i just recently april it was a pellet to close function call being responsible financed ordinated the international terrorist incident this is distributed the fun stuff
9:09 am
probably outside the out. offices it must be said russian security forces russian special forces have been very active in the region only since the beginning of the q the russian security services killed one hundred six insurgents including nineteen leaders all against. those are the figures that come from the. entire committee divisions also say that our more than two hundred insurgents have been detained among them also some of the gang leaders are up to one of those recent examples of russian special forces says his. story is. on this this is regarded as one of the most successful in the business models said that he simply. another leader of the model was said to be killed
9:10 am
but. was. killed so this is a success by terrorism. so two major al qaeda leaders are limited in just the last couple of days i think terrible thank you right now it's like well host the next major international meeting on libya leaders from nato and the arab league will gather this thursday to plan the political transition following the departure or ousting of libyan leader moammar gadhafi and as the stalemate grips in libya a nato spokesman says that the use of ground troops may be the only way to move the situation forward. aerial bombardments of libya's reached it did in according to nato libya's leader colonel gadhafi years building defensive positions meanwhile civilian casualties from allied bombing continue to mount nato spokesman review
9:11 am
this solution send good 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 man operations we need a new resolution. and forces plonk all along says a leading us law professor clearly what we're seeing in our own fold here in libya is a pre existing war play out by nato by the british by the french by the americans who would care to look at everything now is going according to plan which is why i believe since they have failed to our polls garvie with these steps so far the next stage will be moving into a ground invasion and nato powers have to push the international community into supporting war and those one of them protecting civilians was the claim but driving the country's resources is the real goal this is one of the most. worries and
9:12 am
transgressions of rights of 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 berkeley according to the evidence that's leaking out virtually 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 in respect to the nato countries or maybe. the one who. bombing from thirty thousand feet the coalition soldiers feel fairly safe but antiwar activists want putting troops on the ground risks not just more civilian
9:13 am
killings but deaths as well and the further away they get from high. tech 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 day it will come to the u.n. security council we will discuss trying to understand what is planned because that aggression is from the money that we are seeing are enough to learn lessons with international opposition on the rois state space an open field told to make the case for more war but 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 public drawing
9:14 am
likely to welcome its collation of the conflict that it was your god see blood the meantime british politician john baron who was among those who voted against intervention in libya he says that nato could have done more to resolve the conflict before starting its operations you can watch our things interview next hour but here's a preview. this is where the if you like the vagueness of the resolution picks in because it does talk about and forcing a no fly zone and protecting civilians and using all necessary measures to implement that policy could theoretically you that we in the story makers improve to tackle. and control center in tripoli is the baseball i think we have got to be very careful before you commit troops. you've got to make sure you put moral high ground you've got to make sure that it is the measure of last resort where all other avenues of negotiations have been exhausted and i'm not sure we met those
9:15 am
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 past. here with r.t. moscow wants guarantees that u.s. missile interceptors in eastern europe will not pose a threat to russia as countries romania and us plans to host part of america's anti missile defense shield r.t. sarah ferguson now explains moscow's concerns for most case calling. legal assurances from washington that is european missile defense shield won't target o.p.'s threats to russia's strategic nuclear forces now this comes after yesterday's announcement how there are many is going to have a u.s. short range missile interceptor system on one of its bases does the first as such deployment in europe it is actually remain is actually plan b. for the u.s. there were previous plans to host
9:16 am
a similar long range missile instead to encode it and now these plans are scraps by the above the administration in two thousand and nine after russia opposed in saying that it could be a breach of the neatly a balance now since then both sides have maintained dialogue and have managed to sign a treaty on the reduction of strategic nuclear arms but most gay has said to the reserves the right to get to from that agreement is the us press ahead with its missile defense system in eastern europe in a way which russia plays it is now russia has always been strongly for a joint anti missile defense system and indeed home 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 these legal guarantees from the u.s. are really going to be crucial certainly if these talks in atlanta missile defense system again just a. tough one also because in the program on t.v.
