violence in afghanistan is being precipitated by local security forces which contain drug addicts and those connected to the taliban despite this nato began having control over a one of the country's thirty four provinces to the locals on sunday but there's concern there too divided untrained and ill equipped to fend off the insurgency by themselves reports from kabul. there's confusion on the faces of the afghan army soldiers as a firefight unfolds on the other side of the wall lucky for them this is the kabul military training center in the bullets being fired blanks the men here halfway through a ten week program and the officers don't cut the many slack when it's over the be deployed eastern province one of afghanistan's most violent corners and more but we must push them hard so they can die four hundred pressure day by day we're making progress the afghan national army has already come a long way its ranks have swollen to about one hundred seventy thousand troops thanks to fresh waves of recruits attracted by higher wages and extra perks the

soldiers insist they are all united in their desire to be back to tell about a minute insurgency godless of age or ethnicity then in here on what we are old brother and we are all calling my one. was right the call of duty has also struck a chord beyond able bodied males a first ever class of women soldiers has just graduated. and there's even a mujahedeen unit made up of more than bettering the anti soviet yeah this is all good news to u.s. military planners have said the two thousand and fourteen need to hand over security responsibilities to the afghans the afghan army enjoys a much better reputation in the police force and has even been featured in the recent movie. but as the army takes greater responsibility for security around the country there are concerns that the quantity of troops may be coming at the expense of quality that was started as more than eighty percent of troops are illiterate a big problem on our ability to relax and numbers can spell the difference between life and death adding to the woes are widespread drug use and desertion it's today

roughly one in four combat soldiers quit their post critics also point out that the military leadership is made up of many rival ex warlords who still command loyalties along regional in their attic lines could drive the country deeply into compliance as the u.s. begins to scale back its role as custodian this summer there are concerns that these divisions may flare up if i was not neutral. you know ninety three would be fighting each other killing each other these. groups are the groups who control. yet another obstacle for a young army that still has much to be before it can stand. to see more glory in called for some. the u.s. may be on the move from afghanistan but it's not going far it's next focus is neighboring pakistan which has long been a sore an aside in the war on terror with insurgents they are often sabotaging nato supply lines are his military contributor thinks the only way america can save face

and gather stannis to rekindle islamabad ties. they u.s. congressman hunter warns that united states is seriously considering several options including bad direct and kinetic intervention of the u.s. forces into pakistan to do decisively the taliban and how we're going to network training camps which were the same they had the united states or so actively helping and assisting pakistan to wage day anti-submarine jihad in afghanistan using the same heading proxy force led trained by pakistani intelligence which was actively supported by their american partners what happens right now in afghanistan is night of the war no peace in reality the american occupation is completely bombed down and these paralyzed sound where in the twilight zone between war and peace now the u.s. lawmakers are facing

a very serious dilemma and one side they're eager to blackmail pakistan we have the united states military intervention on the other side there are acutely aware that the time has come for the united states to back up and go home from afghanistan and to be exposed to the accusations that american exit plan is just cut and run so the only face saving opportunity right now for the united states to leave afghanistan to rebuild the credibility gap we've pakistan and to get a permission for u.s. forces to read deployment from afghanistan to pakistan the swamp land reach i introduced a couple of weeks ago could help the united states to avoid making the impression they'd just cut and run from afghanistan and on the other side it would need to gain their respects why did named a military hospital it is for him again to stand to pakistan and be. and in

a few minutes on our team the green card immigrants who are now seeing after winning american citizenship lottery there are now being told no landry their new lives will tell you why. and why out of the last world war two war crime suspects is due to learn his fate we report from hungary. the resignations keep coming in the british newspaper phone hacking scandal now that the u.k.'s most senior police officer has quit sir paul stephenson was facing growing backlash over hiring a former news of the world executive as an advisor who was later questioned about illicit phone tapping the axe police commissioner also to the minister saying his choice. was less controversial than the one david cameron shows namely former editor andy coulson and a day of rapid developments rebecca brooks who ran the paper was arrested as part of the story she quit friday as rupert murdoch's u.k.

chief and due to join him and son james in facing m.p.'s on tuesday over ethical reporting methods and police bribery media analyst fillery says the source for information has been going on for years. this is a good example of what the police have been doing in the kind of murdoch years they've been using a rest they've been leaking they've been paid for telling people where celebrities have been arrested so actually manipulating the rest of people is actually a practice that is becoming trying now in my view as a result of the kind of bribery thing so this would hardly be out of practice it would be but i don't think it's going to deflect the opinion i mean there are so many m.p.'s now and indeed so much of the british establishment which for so long kowtow to murdoch is now prepared to get to the bottom of this and we doubt those people who've been corrupted different levels remember that four years ago right the police had these bags with i think it was a live one thousand live through this about four thousand celebrities and. of crime

and all these other people they knew they were taking part investigation. these bags were just left there i mean it's amazing remarkable that it took four years for them to do anything about this meanwhile senior police officers were wining and dining with members of the murdoch empire they were they were meeting them for drinks privately one even hired them at a thousand pounds a day to work for him so you know what does this tell us about the relationship between the police and the news corp employees well it's very very serious and if this can happen at the top of the police look at the example that gives the officers down down the lines now you could well ask you know can any organization properly examine itself but so much is at stake that if that operation is seen to be corrupted as well i think we've got you know an even bigger problem i think so many people now are watching it including you know members of parliament select committees these are investigative bodies within the british political system they're all all eyes are on this let alone all the journalists who are looking at

what's going on so i think that the ramifications of this is so big i mean you know britain is it is shaking at this each day it's headline news and people are asking who's next. the cruiser that sank in the volga is due to be lifted later on monday once the vessel is moved off its side and what is one of the operations most difficult stages tam's to put the ship on an even keel resumed after a balancing sling ruptured on sunday the next task is to search the we were bad for fifteen missing victims and then raise the boat twenty meters to the surface and that's to gators and relatives hope them that definitive answers can be found as to why the ship sank but recovery crews say the work is complicated because the vessel is stuck in the silt at the bottom of the volga bulgaria went down to minutes leaving more than. two hundred eight passengers with no chance to escape out of russia's worst ever water disaster. r.t. dot com is closely following the recovery operation and has

america and the united states is clearly bend on making its regina change policies which we are seeing now in north africa and in the middle east bring them over to latin america from the i'm speaking from one of the recent argentina i'm particularly concerned that hugo chavez's health problems will debilitate will weaken the present government in israel and that can be seen as an opportunity by the united states or rather by the global power elite that operate from the united states to promote routine change in venezuela and if it starts in venezuela it will no doubt spread to other countries notably ecuador bolivia and perhaps even argentina. nasa's how will telescope has been space watching workhorse for two lonely decades now it gets to share the job of revealing the universe's biggest mysteries a russian eye in the sky is on its way to help out at its packing the sharpest tools in an el galaxy ideas might even off now with the baikonur cosmodrome in
