this is money they are all going to all grow food. meanwhile there's a change at the top for nato in afghanistan with general david petraeus leaving to take over as director of cia he's being replaced by general john allen who oversee the gradual transfer of responsibility for security from nato troops to local forces but as jason mortlock reports there's concern afghan forces are too divided ill equipped and lacking in training to fend off the taliban on their own. 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 in the bullets being fired i mean here are halfway through a ten week program the officers don't cut them any slack when it's over the be deployed eastern crude or province of afghanistan's most violent corners mom decided not to do it for you must understand hard so they can die for under pressure that 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 beat back the taliban to the surge and see age or ethnicity then here are my we are old brother and we are all calling my gun in the. car i am the call of duty is 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 veterans to entice soviet you this is all good news to u.s. military planners say 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 rely on actual numbers can spell the difference between life and death adding to that was a widespread drug use and desertion which 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 regionally the lines could be. that as the u.s. begins to scale back its role as stated in this summer there are concerns that these divisions may flare up if i was not neutral. it wouldn't be. right in each of. these. little groups to control it yet another obstacle for the young or you could still has marched forward in the studio it's. called words on. britain's largest police force is facing one of its biggest crises as a result of profoundly murdoch's news of the world but country's most senior

policeman has quit since become embroiled in the bribery and phone hacking allegations which is head to news corp's u.k. and higher so paul stephenson resigned this reveals a player to former news of the world executives finds a question about illicit phone tapping the exit tom also took a swipe at the prime minister saying choosing for medicine and of course in his oppressed folks when there's a much worse decision earlier on sunday quebec a breakthrough round the paper was arrested as part of the investigation but was later released on bail she's due to join rupert murdoch and his son james in facing employees are accused day over an ethical reporting methods and police bribery but media analyst phil greene says the practice of police being paid for information by the media is not likely to disappear anytime soon. this is a good example of what the police have been doing in the kind of murdoch years

they've been using arrests it been leaking they're being paid for telling people when 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 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 murdoch is now prepared to get to the bottom of this and we doubt those people who have been corrupted at different levels remember that for you. years ago right the police had these bags with i think it was eleven thousand letters about four thousand celebrities and victims 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 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 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. rebecca brooks became the tenth person to be detained in the hacking and bribery probe and the lashon who's a former intelligence officer in my life i believe the looming of her arrest raises

a lot of questions i suppose one hundred slightly suspicious turn of mind one might think that the police by taking this step at this stage. allowing her little wriggle room where she didn't have to say too much and perhaps also would have to say too much about the leaks of the police service in london as well so it's very very interesting timing the amount of information that has emerged about the into the linkage between muse international and the police i mean it's amazing the focus has tended to be on the journalists themselves and not on the allegedly corrupt police officers who have been receiving money to provide protected information and of course it's not just about the phone hacking scandal there are other practices their peers have been implicated such as the technique known as pinging where you triangulate someone's location using a mobile phones now the only people who really have access to that sort of information would be vetted police officers working for counterterrorism branch office special branch or potentially of course the spies so who where and when all

this was going on is a very interesting question but it does show that there's a sort of endemic corruption and a failure of accountability and oversight as well within the police force. see when dreams that. it's. really about alert to the. wide twenty two thousand or winners of the green card lottery have seen their long run out of their way to the united states. revealing the secrets of the universe the unique of a tree is said to have been a bit to stop the galactic objects. the recovery of the crews that find can rush is killing around one hundred thirty people may take up to several days officials say the vessel first house to be moved off its side in what is one of the operations most difficult states. attempts to put the ship on an even keel receive doctor balance in sling a ruptured on sunday the next time off gets to search the riverbed for fifteen

randomness asking how could the result of the green card lottery not be random even if there had been a computer glitch as the state department claims one of the arguments is that even an era like that could produce a random result then the whole idea behind the green card lottery is that whoever you are whatever you do you can win it but this case could very well undermine that perception experts specializing in information technology say the decision of the state department as well as the court that dismissed the case defies simple logic rhonda means that if all record tracks are on your cd player when you hit the run you may get tracks three four and five even then track twelve that's still run to the state department has brought up intricate technical arguments to explain the blunder but thousands of its victims say they have the feeling that someone has gambled with their lives we believe that america. john r. t.
