international news law from moscow this is r.t. within twenty four hours a day when albert the symbolic reason for the u.s. presence in afghanistan has gone with the fall of. the question is whether america is going to stick to its war plan this summer u.s. forces are due to still pulling out but the recent terror milestone may prompt the white house to prolong its mission and porno reports a possible u. turn would think little to improve life in the water in 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 and 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. since two thousand and three washington has repeatedly claimed 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 and send more troops there every year as we spend more money on the insurgency grows in size karzai 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 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 political significance for a long time and the great kind of triumph against the western leaders are really proud of something the trumpets at the moment. bush 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 reverberation strug. the area on the al qaeda network in that area and you can just 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 taliban fighting 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 we to get him still struggles to find a conclusion. r.t. new york. for journalist and author she returns she joins me live now from london to discuss the consequences of osama bin laden's demise good to see you there in the united states hailed bin laden's death as a major victory do you think as we are hearing today on r.t. that the u.s. could actually build on this by staying longer in afghanistan and perhaps even continuing the strikes in pakistan despite the fact they are pledging to withdraw from afghanistan. i think the drone strikes will certainly continue but it's so

it's all about incentives there once incentives for the u.s. is why agencies to back bin ladin now what are the incentives for all those k. street lobbyists in washington well congressmen and women certainly don't want an increase in spending on afghanistan and let alone iraq and so i would i would think that they are going to start to call back and some people are already saying that the timing of this announcement as it were of the killing of bin laden by the by the nobel peace prize winner himself the timing is related to financial and political reasons and this could be used as an excuse and certainly congress would like that of a pulling back and a more isolationist policy i think a lot of the world would hope that's the case in libya of course they're back to supporting some elements that are a bit like me not going to do that for about one of the future it's good news for him surely. i think the poll ratings are beginning to show that however i should

add that i worked on a stream of programming for an arabic broadcast of that first interview khalid shaikh mohammed and some people are saying there are elements of intelligence that came to him and they apparently according to him the people that did nine eleven had asked for nuclear power stations to be attacked using airplanes as opposed to or added on to the twin towers i think there's a lot of dangers ahead and president obama seemed to allude to that when he said the world is a safer place and now all embassies around the world are on heightened alert quickly ask you about meet the latest news is that a bomb has said that they are not going to release a photo of if there'd been. a lot of speculation over whether they should or not but what do you think should they. i think no wonder conspiracy theories all around the internet are arising because there seems to be a usual fair degree of chaos around the national security agency the cia and other intelligence institutions after all the story kept changing in the aftermath of the killing of bin laden they were said they were discussing the release of the

photograph now they're not i think they're also looking to what happened with saddam and other people all around the world that the united states has been assassinating for the past hundred years or so so presumably they've got psychologists in saying this photo would become something that will heighten tension i don't think the tensions can be much higher as people have said the arab spring has overtaken al-qaeda hopefully and the those who support bin laden and his islam missed. stuff will certainly attack western interests forgot to mention saddam hussein he was taken alive bin laden wasn't why was he killed you think i'm not put on trial will they of course kill be killed saddam's sons but as has been said quite quite a bit they obviously didn't want the american revelations of how the united states basically created bin laden it's created so many islam ists as it's funded so many

islam is around the world what's so terrible is how the american population are being lied to about how that exactly went on so when you saw the chance of usa around ground zero i think very few people seem joined the bin laden is a creation of america and it's a very sad reflection of us and let me quickly and finally ask you about the implications this will have the fact that he may not was found in pakistani territory and obviously in that strategically very important place for relations between the u.s. and pakistan. i think it's very interesting i talked to a lot of pakistanis over the over the over the years i think pakistan has sometimes threaten the united states with a reportable with china we must remember back is not has nuclear weapons and i think that will be the decisive element here has to be the u.s. pakistani relationship because there's no doubt that all around the world people are saying pakistan knew about where bin laden was i do have just one quick

reaction from you concerning retaliation many people saying it's going to make the world a safer place what does this mean the implication of the death of bin laden now what we see in the future. generations as we've known usually don't make the world a safer place i think you know we do have to be on guard but we mustn't allow the united states we just draw created this al qaeda operation through its foreign policies to make it even less a safer place because of what happened is as iran said. you know this this alien forces in iraq in afghanistan all around the world that is what makes the world less stable let's hope washington to follow know probably realize that a more isolationist policy would be better for all always interesting here we have to say thanks for your time actually returns he joining me live in london thanks. and she fell kind of particular north caucasus has been killed by russia's law enforcement the turkish national he's credited with being me international

coordinator for the region's terrorist cells not a cross between a question over is following the developments there. i chief al qaeda operative in the region of block wood has been killed during a special operation led by russian special forces now it is believed that he arrived to rochelle from georgia now he was and mona of the al qaida arabic group that was operating in russia's north caucasus and since two thousand and six he has been the deputy had of the chief al qaida operative in the region in charge of cash flows of funds that paid for terrorist activities in russia now russia's terrorist committee as that the results of this recent operation will disrupt is the connection between the terrorists that are operating here in russia's north caucasus with the international terrorist group al qaida and indeed to the killing of abdul of what is a part of a major terror operation that was launched in this area but still there is no clear

information elsewhere russia's most wanted terrorist might be hiding and russia's north caucasus it was believed earlier that he may have been among the dad in another operation in english sense yeah buddy and they tossed found no presence of him and currently a major search operations are underway here in russia's north caucasus. an old russian woman was so affected by recent news events that she started seeing things you can see it was on a website or to a dog called feed the bush group question called the police and told them she had thrown the ball has been planted in one of the capital's major metro stations after the prediction was proved to be a false alarm also the website article called the moment if you see someone in japan looking lips with their computer be surprised if you adventure of else people who experience the sensation of kissing or lloyd that story very brothers at r.t. got called.

italy will host the next major international meeting on libya and leaders from nato and the arab league will gather this thursday to plan the political transition from going parcher or else thing of libyan leader moammar gadhafi and there's still make grip's libya a nato spokesman says the use of ground troops may be the only way to move the situation forward. the real bombardments of libya's which did good in according to nato libya's leader colonel gadhafi has dug in defensive positions meanwhile civilian casualties from allied bombing continue to mount needs a spokesman review of this solution send in ground troops. the u.n. security council should adopt a new resolution i'm going to be a resolution one thousand seven hundred three there's not invisible man operations

we need a new resolution western forces plan that's all along says a leading u.s. law professor clearly what we're seeing unfold here in libya is a pre existing war plan art by laid out by the british by the french by the americans with air libya everything now is going according to play and which is why i believe that since they have failed to our polls garvie which is steps are sold far the next stage will be moving into a ground invasion and nato powers have jukes the international community into supporting war and that's one of them protecting civilians was the claim but grabbing the country's resources is the real goal this is one of the most the. reason for as a question is of the rights of a 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 virtually 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 promises hill 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 and respect it for the nato countries or maybe it will simply be. the one who. bombing from thirty thousand feet the coalition soldiers feel fairly safe but then she was activists want putting troops on the ground risks not just more civilian killing but nato deaths as well and 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 sergei lavrov thanks 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 bit welcome to the un security council we will discuss trying to understand what is planned because that aggressions from the money that we are seeing now are enough to learn lessons with international opposition on the rois states face an uphill tosk to make the case for more war for 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 are good at the number of civilian deaths from nato public a drug likely to welcome escalation of the conflict. see london. pressure is mounting on the russian parliament to introduce chemical castration for pedophiles

to the say the current laws allow criminals to reaffirm the something which has forced desperate parents to their own form of mob justice whether somebody of extreme forms of punishment alone will not solve such a complex issue. elaine is a mother of three last summer her four year old daughter was raped by celine learned what happened she found the man responsible and beat him to death. now looking back i can only say that i just wanted to be sure this animal was fine ish and would never do such a terrible thing he did know it all girl found guilty of murder she spent a year in prison before public pressure so he released. sadly it is cases not an isolated one in russia in a country where seventy percent of paedophiles up and rolled with their but unity to reoffend egil and to justice is often used as an eternity to pull out of law. lynching is inadmissible and 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 been released and would never be released without a satellite tracking chip as in the usa the police are no doubt larry he stated i'm pretty sure they would not kill. there's been numerous attempts to toughen the laws and pretty far in russia in a decade dozens of people stipulate in canada august ration or life imprisonment have been discussed by the state duma but not a single one has passed the poor who files onto without support and russia this means some police officers receive money for allowing brother and dance to operate a board members of the court system acquit and criminals but i am not only talking about the child porn industry there is so much money in so many people involved in this corruption within this evil is too hard to fight. but some don't give up and fight their own war sergei's hiding his face he says the country's peter far as

a hunting for him karen information from newspapers and t.v. has created an online paedophile database with child profiles and photos. of her in ninety eight percent of cases child abuse is real then real people should know who they are they should know what they look like they should be on alert sergei says in the thirteen years he's been working on the site not a single official has taken any interest in his plight and more staff they do have far greater databases but just don't want to read that what they should have done for sex offenders here are divided into categories from those serving sentences to those who have passed away but there are many who are marked as at large or wanted a terrifying thought for parents everywhere. every day seven six the children become victims of paedophiles when russia that means in the two weeks we've been

working on this report more than eight hundred kids happen to be for years russian legislators have been talking about the tatton children thank god for each they failed to act even more innocent lives i think. thankful for our see more. two major palestinian political forces the two major ones have clinched a historic deal agreeing to form a unified government however some observers believe the truce may not be viewed too favorably by israel and parts of the west for the details on this let's cross now to of his i was sorry he's a peace activist and columnist who joins me now from jerusalem very much in the thing with us here on our team the break up between these two major factions in palestine was long last taken extremely painful so how long do you think this newly agreed truce could last for i think you're right many people criticize him us and further special of president abuzz for being too

weak because of the split between gaza and the west bank both hamas and fatah need this agreement badly the price if it feels as is too high because of popularity their popularity underground will be. your we've seen thousands of palestinians going out in the streets lately asking for unity to the point that present a bus today in the signing mention those thousands of people and saluted them so i mustn't put that badly needed agreement even if they now really a green and everything at this moment as a signing they cannot really feel the palestinian people at this moment you're saying the people power is actually driving this union are these people being inspired what's happened in the arab world recently. i think there are many factors but the people power is very important i think but look at what happened in egypt and you know they saw mubarak president mubarak as a very important figure and very stable figure yet he was ousted in just

a few days so they're looking at the thousands of people coming out in their own streets and i think that scared them a little bit you add to that the change in egypt and the role that these are starting to play again after years of losing really its influence in the arab world and that in itself as well added some change some things and you add the other factor for hamas is the instability of the countries that support hamas at the moment and uprising and or possible uprising in some of those countries so you add all these factors together is and this is exactly the perfect moment for this unity not israel a negative reaction from israel of this potential union what's israel afraid of. well israel has reacted to hamas and the same way after it won the elections last time i think it's going too fast and too hasty in making all kind of decisions and holding that tax money from moving to the states but there is no negotiations at

the moment anyway you know president of buzz has been has been asking for freeze of settlements which is what the court did anyway as which is what the roadmap as of his role in it didn't apply and now to come and tell the palestinians we don't want you to be unified makes no sense to the palestinian people makes no sense the fact that the further the p.l.o. all is the one that will continue these negotiations it is not a must that will good the government that's being formed at the moment nobody from hamas will be in it so i think it's fear is being exaggerated too much encircle the syrians have no other options the u.s. is doing nothing israel is doing nothing i think what else is expected from the palestinians here the only thing they have is that unity you raise a significant point there that significant members of hamas will not be involved does that mean then that this union could actually be accepted beyond israel beyond the reach of them by the west because after all the west hasn't accepted hamas as a legitimate government despite of course winning a general election and the west sees a mass as

a terrorist organization so what does that do for the unity itself. yes this unity is between fatah and hamas and not between government officials because hamas and it's on purpose that hamas will not be part of this government and will not be part of this government it will be a government that has one year to prepare for elections for next year it will be more administrative government and therefore i think there is a chance it will be accepted by the west it's already got a positive response even in the u.s. that they did not reject it right away and say they will wait for details to see what's going on all right thank you very much indeed for joining us good to hear from you as is obvious there are a palestinian peace activist and a columnist of all codes newspaper joining me live in jerusalem thanks for your time. for the wave of ideas thirty protests portugal has announced that it has secured one hundred sixteen billion dollars financial bailout package from the e.u.

after greece and ireland that's the third euro zone member to require financial lifeline to copy a float exact terms of the deal to get to be finalized but portugal's evidence that no drastic spending cuts will require when they do the side will then have to be approved by the nation some of which face tough internal opposition party has been speaking to associate professor harold well he's from the department of commerce in seattle business school there he told me earlier the bailout will only help protect the banking. won't solve anything in principle to live line. but it's a way of gaining time meaning time to implement more fiscal reform and it's certainly a relief to. a whole group of european banks really exposed to another job the level of debt in portugal is around eighty seven ninety percent that has historically been associated with frequent action so the question is are the politicians willing to accept national banks take it from when you fall or do

you willing to bankroll. further taxpayer guarantees and it seems to be the politicians are basically taken hostage at a bank. coming up next year last year all the latest business news for you with kareena. and welcome to business here in our tea bags in russia still suffering from the aftermath of the economic crisis that's according to a new stress test rather taken by the central bank in the event of another wave of economic turmoil and half the banks were found to be under capitalized and over three hundred will be forced out of the market that they are all over from a bank explains what the results. i think what is very important at the moment is to see that off the two thousand eight crisis we still have a very big number of banks which potentially can be in financial trouble. and i

would say it's a moment of three hundred banks which will be fields all of the market will you hope will the banks quiet some spoiled this is the very deep portion of the banking system and i would say would have seen after the publication of this stress the interlink market rates went slightly this is definitely generating some nervousness between banks in terms of the quilt of their counterpart is nice and i think this trust central bank to be more proactive in controlling want to claim the banking sector. is rather well make up about had a strong start to the year because drugs are almost double sales between january and april compared to the same period last year after bosses still benefiting from this excess food for clunkers program and managed to increase exports fifty percent with the. looking at the markets now oil prices continue to drop in the wake of supply that data in the u.s. which means it demands of the country could be slowing down u.s.
