and for all of us defense operations this is money down are after all owing to the war profiteers analysts also say the violence in afghanistan is being pursued dictated by local security forces which contain drug addicts and those connected to the taliban despite this nail began handing control over one of the country's thirty four provinces to the locals on sunday but there's concern there too divided on trained and equipped to fend off the insurgency by themselves jason all black 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 looking for them this is the kabul military training center and the boards being fired up like a man here halfway through a ten week program and the officers don't cut the maybe slack when it's over the be deployed the eastern congo or province of afghanistan's most violent corners and not the start of next year for you must push that hard so they can die for under pressure because even today we're making progress the afghan national army has

was started as more than eighty percent of troops are literally a big problem on our ability to really match in the numbers and spell the difference between life and death adding to that was a widespread drug use and desertion rates 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 deadlines and 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 start usually. you know. the groups who control it you. need it still has much to do for the students who. you called you were some of the few minutes on our see the green card immigrants who are now seeing red filling america citizenship lotteries are now

being told no entry to their new lives will tell you why. their 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 a growing backlash over hiring a former news of the world executives as an advisor who was later questioned about illicit fallen tapping the axe police commissioner also exists with a swipe at the prime minister saying his choice of the visor was a worst decision namely former editor andy coulson as they have rapid developments rebecca brooks who ran the paper was arrested as part of the investigation she quit on friday asked looking out at some stage and is due to join him and son james facing m.p.'s on tuesday over and ethical reporting methods and police bribery media alast filreis paying officers for information has been going on for years. to see who is a good example of what the police have been doing in the kind of murdoch years
5:07 am
they've been using a rest they've been leaking they've been paid for telling people where the celebrities have been arrested so actually manipulating the rest of people is actually a practice it has become in trying now in my view as a result of the kind of bribery thing so this would hardly be out of practice if it but i don't think it's going to deflect 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 nato is now prepared to get to the bottom of this and weed out those people who've been corrupted different levels remember that for. years ago right the police had these bags with i think it was a level one thousand letters about four thousand celebrities and victims of crime and all these other people and they knew they were taking part in investigation and these bags were just left there i mean it's amazing it's 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
5:08 am
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 on the lines now you could well ask you know can any organization properly examine itself but so much is at stake but 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 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 is shaking at this each day it's headline news and people are asking who's next the timing our back of rocks are asked is raising a few eyebrows former british intelligence officer any mashonda says it's more than
5:09 am
a coincidence. it's very unusual to have someone this close to the heart the heart of power in the u.k. being arrested but i suppose based on the prima factual evidence around this case it would be unavoidable for the police not with arrests having said that of course it is a very long journey from arrest to being charged in court on trial and to being convicted so i suppose i'd be more surprised if the if she were charging if this does proceed towards a legal hearing i have to say that i think is the timing of this arrest is very interesting because it's highly highly unusual for someone to be a prearranged arrest to turn themselves into a police station and go through the rest process on a sunday and of course it is just two days before she was due to appear before a parliamentary committee so now which was going to sort of get out of jail free card i can't possibly talk about this incident is subject to legal proceedings so in a way i suppose one hundred slightly suspicious turn of mind one might think that the police taking this step at this stage are allowing her little wriggle room i shouldn't have to say too much and perhaps also have to say too much about the
5:10 am
leaks of the police service in london as well so it's very very interesting timing . this is our life from moscow and on the way to seventy year away it is nearly over the last from world war two era war crimes suspects repairers them learn his fate we reported from hungary. the cruiser that sank in of all those due to be lifted later on monday once the vessel is moved off its side and was right of operations most difficult stages attempts to put the ship on an even keel resumed after a balancing sling ruptured on sunday the next task was to search the river bed for fifteen missing victims and raise the boat twenty meters to the surface investigators and relatives hope then that definitive answers can be found as to why the ship sank but recovery crews say the work is complicated because of vessels stuck in the silt at the bottom of the volga bulgaria went down to minutes leaving more than half of the two hundred eight passengers with no chance to skate one of
