prisons for only a very minor offenses. so those are the headlines here and the next i would award winning journalist sebastian younger telling us all about the fate faced by war reporters and who really needs you without. r t is sitting down with sebastian younger an american author journalist and documentary on his two thousand and ten film restrepo was nominated for an oscar and his most recent book war illustrates the human bonds that are formed between u.s. soldiers even amid a climate of conflict and caring so fast and thank you very much for sitting down with pleasure so your book war it does illustrate. the realities of war but if you decide to focus on the character or the character and the humanity of the u.s.

soldiers. well war is a very political thing i mean it has to be it has to be argued about. and there are dozens and dozens of great books that have come out in the past ten years that have gone over the morality to politics the strategy of the two wars that we've been in i didn't really want to add to that i felt that the one thing that was dropping out of the of the national conversation we were having about these wars was the experience of the soldiers themselves i mean his paper reporting you get a little bit of you know so and so from just out of illinois his father does this and you know a little mini bios of soldiers but you don't really get into what i came to think of as the emotional terrain of combat and what i realized in the fight was that i spent this little outpost was crippled in the korengal valley of eastern afghanistan huge about about a very isolated place what i realize is that the guys were not fighting for flag and country and they were not you know they were joined up from reasons those sorts of reasons well once they were there they were fighting for each other and it was

a completely kind of fraternal arrangement that had very very little broad kind of like conceptual like motivations behind it you were asked about the death of some of them on the assassination of the line and but you thought that may mean to the future of afghanistan and to the u.s. soldiers there and according to what i've read he said men and women who are fighting are worse right now are starting to have a distant relationship with the event that triggered meaning september eleventh and that you thought a more immediate concern that's what's going to happen on the ground and afghanistan because you said that most of the soldiers i mean those that you were that were maybe nine or ten years old when september eleventh occurred and i think that a lot and whether he's alive or dead now that he's that matters to them i think i think it does matter to them but but it's using increasingly i mean you know i'm a new yorker and i write you know i was in the forty's and one of those through the

night on nine eleven remembering a very very painful memory you know someone who is niger's all the nine eleven. joyce normally you know i don't have an emotional. that that attack might not have a real emotional content like you would read but i think they understand the importance of killing him and they understand the consequences of killing them killing him for themselves which is conceivably that they are in l'estrange or do you think so i don't know but there's i'm sure this is a debate they're having a out of these posts like are they going to be revenge attacks or are we in less danger because he was this sort of kingpin and now it's all coming unglued for ok i mean i don't know no one knows at what they're probably discussing that when you were on and i was with these guys these soldiers you were with a very good friend of yours and a partner and i want to express my condolences to you because i know that you did this friend in april had her and he was in libya right. how did that shift

your focus on what you do and how involved you will be moving forward. or is there complacent conflicts i've been covering wars is ninety ninety three and i've taken a fair amount of risks in those twenty almost twenty years and jim's death really pretty much knocked me flat and. i think it made me realize i mean he's been dead a month today's been a month and it was an awful month and i made maybe realize like if i get killed. i'm going to be doing that what i feel right now to the people closest to my wife my family my friends and i've never quite thought about it that way and i think. well ultimately the decision i came to was that there is going to continue working on going to continue covering countries that are in transition in conflict but i'm not going to continue going to shot it like that because that's according to what's

being reported in actually very well known is that most journalists have retrenched many overseas players have closed and this is positions the decisions that he needs i know i networks cable stations what do you think is going to happen when it comes to our foreign news correspondents in the future if i were not of that works or pulling back to their office here it's actually a great opportunity for freelancers you know back in the ninety's eighty's and ninety's when the networks had tons of money in the newspapers had euro's all over the world you had to be like certified you know like stamps you know past. reporter corresponded to have a job overseas and that the scraps that fell from the table went to the freelancers well now those jobs are going up lately the agencies can't fund them so now that workload is being undertaken by freelancers and so you know you go to libya you know there's c.n.n. and whatever but. b.b.c.

but probably eighty percent of the correspondents on the ground are freelancers who are working for news agencies they can't afford a salary to a person who's there can't afford debating insurance and so you know young very courageous young and sometimes inexperienced reporters step in and that's how they learned that's the next generation of reporters as well do you think the media itself us media is. concerned with more and conflict as it used to be because we see so many of these salacious stories some leverage often stories that that. take the headlines you know i think those stories of always going around i get most of my news from the newspaper hey i really don't know what news from television so if you're referring to t.v. yeah this story you know this sort of celebrity scandal kind of stories that i think we've always been there and the reality is that nato intervened in libya because of the. just avalanche of horrible images and information that was coming

out of eastern libya as could obvious forces assaulted the rebel positions in benghazi you know. without the purse there nothing would have happened and so somebody is paying attention i mean introduce your stripes so. yeah i mean it's working it doesn't but i think every person in the country has to watch those images for them to have an effect and you say that war is not going to go away that's you know one of the reasons i decided to take write the book that you thought war from the point of view of u.s. soldiers but. i mean it's that easy i have to say war is not an old car away i mean maybe the u.s. or other countries that our craving wars launching wars or or for whatever reason justified. try different approaches because these wars are not going away but some would argue that they're not making circumstances any better afghanistan many

experts call it you know a quagmire you know afghanistan is at the lowest level of civilian violence a billion death in thirty years the highest rate of economic growth and that whole part of asia is in afghanistan. five times the number of children are being schooled compared to ten years ago or with under the taliban a third of them were girls according to you and signs of action for according to unicef afghanistan is the worst place in the world more info no it absolutely because you measure would be like without international assistance yeah it's bad it's the poorest country in the world but it's actually so much better than it was and i think people don't really realize that it is we're going to go away it's been with us since the stone age so no it's not going to go away neither is illness and you describe it like these are afflictions of human society but we fight illness we fight crime. there's relief i think and one thing the wars well are you know you know they were i mean there were there are wars i mean we're some we could argue we

were to rwanda we probably should have fought a war to end that war you know there was no military intervention to rwanda and a million people died so if someone goes to me and says are you against war i'm like yeah i'm against war do something rwanda sent a force in there together to stop bosnia like area sierra leone yeah of course everyone's against war so what do you do when there's a war you know what do you do when there's a war in liberia you sit here in the united states and watch it unfold and one hundred thousand people die or you send in. melt the mill a country's military and stop it and that's what happened and it ended the war so it's like yeah it would bore us to be dealt with but sometimes you have to deal with war with war based on what you saw in your experience do you think any of these guys or question i ever hear. the soldiers didn't talk much about why we're in afghanistan i mean they are in afghanistan because they joined at the very don't want to afghanistan those who wouldn't join.

they were quite psyched to be in combat like they joined the army most of them. they joined the army and they got into the once every thirty or forty a really kind of hard core unit precisely because they wanted to understand what combat was like and so they didn't abate why are we in afghanistan very much it's like. you know it's a big thirty three thousand americans were killed by attacks coming out of afghanistan. and we had to we had to go to that country and fix it and find the people who killed america or american brothers and sisters and that's about the extent of their analysis fashion and i thank you very much for your time looking.

straight flush. moving from the all fans to the netminders as there can be no good team without an outstanding man in between the pipes and much of a glance. the citizen has been down to constantin burden who played a huge role in getting them to the garden cup finals and along with proving to be the league's best goalie the twenty six year old managed to become the number one in the russian national team at the twenty eleven world championships today yesterday but he should never be satisfied with yourself every netminder still has some aspects to improve on i'm not different i will keep working hard with my personal coach to become an even better goaltender because. it was the man who inspired an average looking up one side all the way to the good brink of decider although he didn't manage to claim the kitchen's biggest prize it was enough to claim the best coach award company. i'm glad i cheated the success with the club

where i had started my career in russia i have had great support from everybody and i would like to share this award with every single player of my team and everybody who works for outlands. the final award was the evening's most prestigious this isn't the most valuable player for the second straight year it went to slovakia less forward oleksandr rubble of the season with a stunning ninety eight points roberts well known artsy moscow. and that brings us to the end of the sport and i will have more from roland garros and the like to score an expert i think. that stuff. hungry for the full story we've got it for. the biggest issues get the human voice face to face with the news makers.
