a much smaller troop reduction all this as international investigators say the nearly ten year long u.s. mission has failed to reduce corruption among afghan officials have more on this now enjoying life in the us. on capital by local journalist. good to see you so two deadly bomb blasts over the course of two days possibly part of a growing surge of violence in your country so should the u.s. be keeping its troops in place do you think to protect the afghan people. i think troops will not be useful for protecting. against any more. twenty years experience shows that they use troops and they are learns. not very useful. for venting of this kind of attacks at least they're. making it to us about nato airstrikes and at night raids have been killing civilians by mistake for years how is that affecting public opinion and the war

with the taliban. there's a very in fact in their mind public. if you're seeing the media now see if you're seeing the. reaction of. reactions and getting war going is there and specially. and also the. villagers and also some public and so share the same is. turning people to join some insurgences groups and fight against this government. you lead me to my next question here what will happen if the foreign forces leave for the taliban run the country all the afghan security forces ready to fend for themselves. i think national security forces are not. ready to have this

responsibility i think. i mean do you. believe in two thousand. after a short time. doing this show we will have peace with this small short term civil war. and i knew you are in kabul. what was better for afghanistan life under the taliban or the last ten years under nato operation. i think. occurred in. air force for us some good things and we have some achievements in korean government but also we have a lot of tension. i can tell you that i have contract with some countries. outside their capital kabul and countries all leaving intentions and the.

rest roll their sleeves because of this. and then because of this because of this wrong and fake. idea of. intelligence and services that people. do think that one term we do not have this tension. this troll. free to walk and go through some of the. countries. and this government go according to government under the support of us we have some achievement i shouldn't say we shouldn't hide it we have some achievement we have some construction but most of them. in the use of us not and it was up against i so you say you had some achievements and some construction in recent years but international investigators have released a report saying that afghanistan is riddled with corruption and government

officials colluding with the taliban how true is this from your perspective. i think anyone saying this is. this current government started i've given him and he's not done i think his gentleness the day came together. and this and the start of the envision in two thousand and one they were all corrupted people and they were all people that they were committed criminal. committed crimes and they have a different kind of criminal act they have done in past. people and came to get a. higher ruling circles of the country these are still those people in the. blue in circle of afghanistan i would accept and this is obviously a fire that i'm going to some govern this. man's woman.

but. beside that good option we have some achievement for example we do not have. but now we have. over and says but unfortunately these sterile and furious and you know if i may just jump in here i would honestly i mean give me for interrupting but you say you know the issue of corruption has a better not we must be some levels of corruption within the afghan government what are the rampant drug industry i mean nato has done virtually nothing about it afghanistan is still the world's largest opium farm can the afghan people succeed where nato has failed is there a solution to the problem of the drugs. thing this. smuggling of drugs here in peace it's not only. guns i've got people and i'm going to government. issues and it's

a black business i think maybe to continue indonesia and the world countries also they have some fairness to prevent this not critics modelling i think it. some cooperation of division i was going to use. joined the air force there would be a solution for smuggling got this. from kabul the afghan journalist has these i thank you very much. coming up here on r t twenty first century exodus find out why thousands of israelis are applying for european and american passports in the hope of leaving the promised land. an emergency ministry plane has been sent to russia's north caucuses to collect those seriously injured in a gas explosion at a wedding ceremony for he six people including six children were hurt and those were the worst injuries will now be brought to moscow. is in a city of

there's no fairytale ending for a real life cinderella russian girl turned a global supermodel. splits from her royal husband. and a smooth jazz legend saxophonist dave coughs visits moscow when he talks to us about his passion for music you can watch that interview with him on our website at a party or. twenty minutes past the hour now here in moscow israel was created as the promised land to provide a home for all of the jews of the world but tens of thousands have fled the country over the past few years and more are lining up to leave poor found at fears over

security mean many are seeking a new safer life in europe or the u.s. . rachel shites has no reason to lie to germany she was born a before the second world war and within six years had been expelled and most of her family killed but the irony is she now wants a german passport. get money i want the german citizenship to help my children and grandchildren which might be shocking if it wasn't so common in israel today in the last decade some thirty thousand israelis have applied for us citizenship a quarter of a million already have a second passport it's unlikely that any other country in the world has such a large percentage of new immigrants preparing to leave. the story because these are the stubborn to become a should. be europe because the. death

of my faith the american heart of tel aviv here you'll hear more english than hebrew and you'll be forgiven for thinking that you're in the us and not the promised land most israelis here have a second passport many of them grew up abroad or have a parent who came from another country. and i would never give them a canadian and probably would give up my israeli the american i wouldn't give up because. i want to be able to go there anytime british passport or european passport is a doorway to opportunity is eight years ago the bar was blown up by suicide bomber three people were killed and fifty injured the bar didn't close down but some say the rush for new passports heated up in very peak of suicide bombings and there was a feeling of insecurity so yes there was an increase both in immigration and in the demand for passports and that demand has only grown in the last five years israel has been into walls and many fear another is not far off and the government's policy of settlement expansion has only isolated the country internationally so

it's no surprise this leading israeli journalist in nearly there people are tired of living in a war zone. releasing its leadership on creating all the. front . against anything and the payoff is a population that feels unsafe with one eye on europe. than a son has processed nearly five thousand applications for a second passport in the last ten years that works out at about forty passports a month and he's only one lawyer working in the field of the drop in world war two the one who are the one who got though i'd love for you if you. can help you move. out of danger of gone when you do it every year more jews leave israel for europe and the skates then the other way around one in five or so if you choose has

a really returned home and with no israeli palestinian peace talks on the horizon and growing israeli insecurity about arab demonstrations on the doorstep the so-called insurance passport is unlikely to lose popularity any time soon point here r t television. now good news stories for the us economy are few and far between with mass job cuts layoffs and a growing national debt however some are saying optimistic saying things could be even worse as are a resident in new york. all the latest data indicates the global economy is going limp are you personally affected this week let's talk about that have you felt the fact of the bad economy or better job this economy's not get me a better job yes i try to go to college and i can because car my car gas is all

expensive at school so expensive so small in the bushes cycle is really bad but i'm happy because brazil is growing like for me it's good so is that kind of the way to . some countries are hurting other countries can prosper mark yeah greece is working brain is looking bad but i feel like we're on the right. so they're just exaggerating not in greece and spain no no i feel like reports in the us are i'm actually in the military so i feel that at all that's the only perk that i'm one perk my job i've been getting steady paychecks for five years yeah i can't see that the american military is going to go out of it if they do any time soon and i guess we have bigger problems to worry about the economy is bad and you have. to we have to go back even more so we could take cruises you come to new york this is crucial british a first time in new york state of the day so that doesn't sound like you're hurting that it sounds like you're doing ok we have a comeback on

a lot of other things you think that we've seen the bottom of this crisis or are we headed for bread lines and even worse things that we've seen the bottom what is the bottom look like. well it was pretty bad during the great depression that is a bottom that we can compare it to i don't know if we'll get that bad but i don't think we're there yet so do you think we can fix it i'm a global level or do you think it's time countries started looking at themselves first i think we have to fix it on the global level but i think we reach country have to lower their their expectations of. the living standard i think we all have to go down whether or not you've been personally impacted the bottom line is the global economy apparently continues to fall. now at twenty five minutes past the hour here at moscow and devoted scientists give up the comfort of their homes and the company of family and friends to work in

extreme conditions or. thomas investigates now the price people have to pay to fulfill their passion for new discoveries. antarctic storms are known to be fierce sometimes forcing those who have to endure them to take safe harbor it was pretty bad it was. thirty thirty thirty. years of rolling around. the head of the. pin that did. get in between us. so we're rolling around. trying to make a good. guess here but the crew of this ship was able to pull through the temple stand even work with nearby stations to repair their damaged vessel but they were lucky operating in such a remote environment means replacement parts aren't always available and the workers here have to make do with what they can it is pretty hard to get here good

equipment to get here sophisticated equipment so. one challenge is to try to make your big science was a very small amount of. hours and free weather conditions is considered one of the most. on the planet and because of this operating down here. we're going to vary and we can be downright deadly during the same storm the crew from that would wait until your space lost one of their team when a jeep wall down an embankment into a frigid antarctic lake. that was most difficult experience in my career and such moments i start to think that good just wants us to try is out here. but in antarctica time is a valuable commodity and work crews have limited time to prepare the base for winter after the accident happens we didn't even have time to make a stop which the moment required a stop to think to express compassion we have to go on with our work which we finished at about four am the next day the incident sparked an outpouring of

international support from the surrounding bases but in a twist all too appropriate for the harsh realities of working in antarctica the chilean air force plane. that was to airlift of the body back to south america suffered an explosion in the left engine as it was taking off the pilots on board of hurting another fatal tragedy by a matter of seconds still the southern continent doesn't provide the opportunity to dwell on the difficulties. of the key things all problems as soon as possible or the options he will be lost when there is no immediate response to the precautions and avoid options let me get one of those hurt. in the airplane engine field we avoided doing anything ok have gotten any of those hurt in any way so we don't have to airlift anybody else here we avoid any results until another employee in iraq there's. a system derived from unfortunate necessity which keeps those living and working in the face of danger and safe as possible in antarctica sean thomas.
