the moviegoer to join me the killings the on the violence the gateway to the ground in period. that george was the bush girl until you can a let's wait till the socialists return civility to go and. run the city the colonel was the target as to retreat. called because a second senior british police officer quits over his executives it was that murdoch's media empire as the scandal threatens to spill over to top politicians. the taliban assassinates more high ranking officials in afghanistan as nato begins down david control of the country's conan says so local forces facing huge question mark save their ability to cope. and russian security forces pull a major terror plot near moscow which it's believed could have caused huge loss of life. the looming debt crisis in the u.s.
11:01 am
and in europe and the fall in world prices of all cause the russian markets a little more than one percent on monday join me in twenty minutes for. a very warm welcome to you this is the line from moscow now another day another scowl because the news of the world scandal continues to unravel britain's second most senior police officer has quit following the example of his boss he resigned on sunday if only his revelations they hired a former news of the world executives a media advisor at the same time as they were resisting pressure to reopen the probe into claims that it was hacking into phones let's get more now from aussies or emmett's she's live in london last hour laurie it's been two days of rapid developments with the rest of resignations all we're going to see any more heads
11:02 am
roll around. well certainly i was the feeling on the ground here in london is that this is an unfolding scandal not one which is drawing to an end every day there are more allegations more arrests and more resignations and dismissals as you said we've seen the country's two top police officers resign in the last couple of days over the relationship of the police with the news of the world nice paper and there are several reasons for that the first you mentioned is that the police obviously closed an investigation into phone hacking back in two thousand and nine saying that there was no evidence to support it and of course we've also seen allegations that police including officers the seniors detectives were involved in accepting bribes from journalists at the news of the world in an exchange for takeoffs allegedly now when assistant commissioner yates resigned he says that the news of the world had been uncooperative in that original inquiry but that he never lied
11:03 am
and that's all the information that he's provided to parliament about the phone hacking scandal up to now was in good faith but m.p.'s widely dismissed that evidence as unconvincing and they said that this was not the end of the matter so we will see further questions on the relationship between the police and the news of the world and of course in the next couple of days we'll see people appearing before parliament including we have rebecca brooks both those top ranking police officers they will have to answer more questions on their role in the scandal in front of parliament or so for all of you seem newspaper executives and senior police officers resign but not any politicians or how much heat is all this putting on david cameron's government given their claims ties to murder. well we're seeing more and more that everybody in the public is implicated in the scandal really more and more people being implicated when commissioner stevenson resigns he really
11:04 am
stuck the knife into prime minister david cameron he said that the prime minister's relationship with the former news of the world editor andy corson who of course he hired to work with him made it difficult to disclose certain facts to the prime minister about this phone hacking and that he also didn't tell the prime minister about the employer the employment of neil wallis who's that former executive director of the news of the world as a consultant to the police for fear of compromising david cameron are obviously puts cameron very much in the spotlight we've also seen forrest johnson the mayor of london who is supposed to be in charge of the metropolitan police are answering some very difficult questions from journalists in a news conference just a little bit earlier so of course what we see here in the u.k. is first people losing trust in the press secondly losing trust in the police and now we may even see them losing trust in their m.p.'s so this is not the end of this scandal certainly not and indeed the labor leader ed miliband is calling for
11:05 am
the breakup of murdoch's media empire. many thanks. live from london for us on this unfolding scandal. meanwhile we've heard account is former u.k. c.e.o. rebecca brooks facing m.p.'s on tuesday over the scandal but media analyst always says the practice of police being paid for by the media is not likely to disappear any time soon. this is a good example of what the police have been doing in the kind of murdoch years they've been using a recip in leaking they're being paid for telling people where the celebrities have been arrested so actually manipulating the rest of people is actually a practice that 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 today 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'd out those people who
11:06 am
have been corrupted a different levels remember that four years ago right the police had these bags with i think it was a level of thousand letters about four thousand celebrities and victims of crime and all these other people and they knew they were taking part 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 and meanwhile senior police officers were wining and dining with members of the ok 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 to officers down there on the lines now you could well you know can any organization properly examine itself and so much is that stake that if that operation is seen to be corrupted as well i think we've got you know an even bigger problem and i think so
11:07 am
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 is is shaking at this each day it's headline news and people are asking who's next. coming up here on the searching a far. as the rage of the sank in russia's volga river continues and bring you all the latest from the scene. for me that emerged out of valley. find out why twenty gals and winners of the green card lottery. ran out on their way to the united states. the taliban has claimed responsibility for the nation of the afghan president's senior advisor in the capital kabul along with one of the country's m.p.'s local security forces killed by militants carried out the
11:08 am
attack where the murders come at less than a week after a hundred cars. around the south the country. the taliban is stepping up its assault on afghan officials and native contact sheets begin its withdrawal on sunday if you like three hundred eighty for control seven designated areas to local forces but andrew activists jim branson train the minute she faces be left behind. i would question to what extent they really want to leave clearly they have to present themselves as leaving whether they really intend to leave i think you can gauge why for example the amount of construction that's going on at places. nato bases at places like kandahar and by graham and so on which look very permanent of hundreds of millions of dollars but certainly some process is going on. in
11:09 am
a withdrawal or something that we could recognizably call a withdraw but compared to the goals that they set themselves or that they claim for themselves ten years ago there's very little to cheer about i think you have to ask the question security for who or for what's when they talk about handing over responsibility for security because by all. accounts for example the afghan army as it's called is is very much biased towards messmate groups so it starts with makeup from the beginning so the idea that it would be an impartial force or seen to be a powerful force him to be extremely unlikely. meanwhile there's the change the top the nato in afghanistan with general david petraeus leaving to take a best director of the cia he's being replaced by general john allen hello vittie the gradual chance for responsibility to security for nato troops to local forces there is jason reports there's concern afghan forces are too divided ill equipped
11:10 am
ensuring fend off the taliban already. 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 bullets being fired blanks i'm in here half way through a ten week program and the officers don't cut the many slack when it's over that be deployed eastern province one of afghanistan's most violent corners. but we must push them hard so they can perform under pressure day by day we're making progress the afghan national army has already come a long way it's 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 that insurgency regardless of age or ethnicity then in the army we are old brothers and we are all called by one name. by the call of duty is also struck
11:11 am
a chord beyond able bodied males a first of a class of women soldiers has just graduated it's. and there's even a mujahedeen unit made up of hardened veterans of the anti soviet jihad this is all good news to u.s. military planners who have set a two thousand and fourteen billion to hand over security responsibilities to the afghans the afghan army enjoys a much the reputation of a police force and has even been featured in recent movies. but is the army takes greater responsibility for security around the country there are concerns that the quality of troops may be coming in the expense of quality started as more than eighty percent of troops are literally a big problem in the ability to read maps and numbers can spell the difference between life and death adding to the was a widespread drug use in desertions 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 and ethnic lines and could drag the country deeper into conflict as the u.s.

these plans the toc also old as the detained people have confessed and. other people there are believed to be linked to the planned attack were also found now president mediated has ordered an urgent investigation and once those who are responsible for the failed attack to be severely punished now since the start of this yeah there has been a number of terror raids and despite the fact that dozens of terrorists were killed during those operations still the potential terrorist rats' remains high according to russia's interim ministry and today off through the news of this failed operation of this failed attack president mugabe just underlines about the situation in the region remains to bury town for the last twenty four hours has seen two dogs the blast that hits russia's north caucasus and the first one happened in change now two policemen were killed and seven august one says when an

11:15 am
russia's volga river last sunday killing around one hundred thirty people may take up to several days the vessel first one has to be moved off its side in what is one of the operations with difficult stages the recovery could play a crucial role in finding nonces as to why the ship went down tom barton is following developments. we're up here on the volga bank about three kilometers from where the recovery attempts are taking place in the distance behind me police and authorities have been trying to stop journalists getting any closer to the recovery efforts and that's because late last night one of the cables holding the ball guerrier snapped and they were trying to at the time to right the ship before lifting it now they've they're attempting to repair that cable and thread it back underneath the ship so that they can write it and then begin to lift it divers will then be able to go under the ship to look for fifteen bodies which are yet to be
11:16 am
found and also to try and find the causes essentially the hole that let all the water in so fast and maybe bulgaria's sink in under three minutes there are many people on the banks that are waiting for those answers firstly the relatives and the survivors some of them have been waiting for over a week now for news of where their loved ones may be and they're also want the same answers as to why this tragedy happened as the investigators for all the criminal cases that have been opened they're going to want to know if the ship really was a so many revelations of come out same old and decrepit in fact not even worthy to be on the water of the volga hopefully the raising of the ship will show in very short time what has remained a mystery up till now and hopefully help help provide some kind of answers as to why so many lives were lost in such a short space of time. well for some twenty thousand people who want

a green card lottery to live in america good luck seemed suddenly to happen is that of them their dreams of a new life were down when the u.s. state department claimed they had been a computer error and that the results are no longer valid now the story's called fresh doubt on the way the lottery operates in zombies gown a teacher can report. hoping for a better life in america it took or from nigeria applied for the green card lottery he won or so we said in the letter that he received from the state department almost two weeks later the us voided the results of the lottery for some twenty two thousand people including ligature or what i want to lots of. trying to look through the door for. it's one for each year the u.s. state department grants green cards to some fifty thousand people from around the globe the lottery where the jet party is the right to live in work in america is advertised as completely random the state department claims in this case there was
11:18 am
a computer glitch and the results were not arbitrary in computer programming error caused more than ninety percent of the selectees to come from the first two days of the registration period the victims of the blunder have joined in a class action suit against the u.s. state department and lost the court here has been struggling with the randomness asking how could the result of the green card lottery not be random even if there had been a computer glitches but they department claims one of the arguments is that even an error like that could produce a random result and the whole idea behind the green card lottery is that whoever you are whatever you do you think 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 records of all the tracks are on your cd player when
11:19 am
you keep around you made your tracks three four and five and you're trying to twelve that's still around the state department has brought up intricate technical arguments to explain the blunder the thousands of its victims say they have the feeling that someone has gambled with their lives we believe that america. can issue gun or t. washington d.c. the russians and recognize the libyan rebels the companies only they just national authority foreign ministers have a good laugh it off course is the u.s. and other nations they can not step aside at the mass meeting last week in istanbul . it was it for me was the american public was do not share this position for one simple reason this position again means that those behind the recognition are fully siding with one political force in the libyan civil war this again means that those who took this decision are pursuing a policy of isolation in this case the isolation of tripoli as for us just like in
11:20 am
any other conflict we reject isolationism as a way to resolve problems we believe in involvement and in this context at different levels we maintain contact with both tripoli and benghazi and we urge them to show a constructive stance and responsibility for the fate of the libyan people and to get to the negotiation table to launch a dialogue about creating a transitional structure that will prepare reforms on a free democratic elections and the president the assistant. to the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton announced the recognition of the rebels five years musing not. the washington movement for western and arab states valid to do with the incident interim government some place the move all think attention is you know they should accept the names don't get up these assets raise them in american. more stories that are making headlines around the globe but according budapest is clear the ninety seven year old carrion man of nazi war
