the visuals the movie that's the case we go to the grand imperial truly the taj was the coolest coromandel you can a with a little close to the show which says don't need to go and. read this and the colonel was hurt as his career treat. tonight on our t.v. cops in the hack is this second senior british police officer quits over his links to executives at rupert murdoch's media empire as the pressure now builds on the prime minister. the taliban assassinates more high ranking officials in afghanistan its nature begins to hand over control of the country's provinces to local forces facing huge question marks over their ability to. put russian special forces for all of major terror plot near moscow which it's believed could have caused a huge loss of life.

welcome this is r.t. it's eight pm monday night here in moscow my name is kevin zero in on our top story another day another scope as the news of the world scandal continues to one rival britain second most senior police officers now quit following the example of his boss who resigned on sunday it follows revelations they hired a former news the world executive as a media adviser barracks it's no more pressure on the prime minister david cameron but also hired a former editor from the same newspaper. reports from london. 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 and more arrests and small resignations and this missiles we've seen those countries to top police officers resign in the last couple of days over the relationship of the police with the news

of the world needs paper and there are several reasons for that the first is that police obviously closed an investigation into phone hacking back in two thousand and nine saying that there was no evidence to support this and of course we've also seen allegations that police including offices as seniors detectives were involved in accepting bribes from journalists at the news of the world in exchange for tipoffs 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 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 is 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 we're seeing more and more that everybody in the public eye is implicated in this scandal really more and more people being implicated when commissioner stevenson resigned he really stuck the knife into prime minister david cameron he said that the prime minister's relationship with the former news of the world editor andrew kristen who of course he hired to work with him made it difficult to disclose certain facts to the prime minister about the phone hacking and he also didn't tell the prime minister about. it's the employer and 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 now that obviously puts cameron very 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 the breakup of murdoch's media empire. of correspondent laura let's talk more about this with the author journalist barry learned those on the line from paris on r.t. tonight the last we heard of laura's report more pressure on the politicians especially prime minister david cameron who's faced calls to resign from two veteran opposition and the last couple of hours could this scandal brilliant down at the end of the day. i i i really doubt it but what strikes me as most about this scandal is that everyone seems to be missing the point. the hacking of a few phone numbers is kind of interesting but the real danger of somebody like

murdoch and his operation was the tremendous political power that he has in england and in the united states the power that it's a bet it really carried out through the organizations the news organizations that he owns and the fear of politicians here has temporarily gone away but it's a fear that can always come back because his power is still there and he's used it to his who's really an enormous empire not only in britain but in the united states and in australia and that's the point that really seems to be missing the hacking he's kind of interesting and exceeding what is more than interesting in. the motor issue and what is more interesting in britain i must tell you people were revolted by a lot of what went on but let's talk about his media empire it pays to be in toxins that the moment a can hear a problem from this can cope with this crisis and also appears to be spending to

the us now as well. you know he may not recover from it but i think the point is that it's only now that people are beginning to focus on the real danger of murdoch which was this enormous conglomerate that had amassed power tremendous amount of power which he also has in the united states americans are beginning to look at that now but only beginning i mean murdoch through the papers that he owns there and of the tremendous presence that he has in the media has been able to out to a large extent politicians in the united states as well and that's the real danger of building up this tremendous power influence. and that is what people should be looking at that's what they should be examining her and what i think the thing i said is interesting but what's what you think that one hundred more or less focusing on some or a big day of questions big that answers to more a lot of the media really looking carefully at how report murdoch's son james is

going to handle this also the former c.e.o. rebecca brooks they're facing in peace questions some are we likely to see any more revelations there. i'm sure there will be i mean i think what you've got is rats leaving a sinking ship and particularly reporters and reporters are love secrets and will lie think when they feel angry and upset as so many of murdoch's people do now they'll be quite willing to spill a lot of b. into a lot of people are going to get hurt but i guess i insist that we should be looking at. the links these are the links between murdoch and politicians and between his news organization and major politicians not just in england but in the united states as well and that is that the americans are only beginning to do what i find interesting also about this whole thing is that both in berlin of course and particularly the united states have spent hundreds of billions of dollars and sent

the military and aids abroad to countries like afghanistan to teach people supposedly preach them how to construct a marker see when at the same time well operators like murdoch and other major media corporations and businesses and lobbyists in the united states and england are undermining democracy and those countries are just quickly what does it say as well of what's this going to do. with the british public view of its police force and britain's to where senior police officers have resigned over the scandal the last forty eight hours. which is good i think it will bring a needed housecleaning to them and take them off the podium so that people big be willing to look at what was really going on under underneath all right will bear a lot of thanks for joining us from paris which preceded. coming up on the program searching for answers you see as the recovery operation cruiser which sank in bush's volga river continues to bring you all the latest from the sea state also

this to. believe that it actually did oswald valley and find out why thirty two thousand winners of the green card lottery of seeing their luck run out so on the way to the united states. the taliban stoned responsibility for the assassination of the afghan president's senior adviser in the capital kabul along with one of the country's peace local security forces say they've already killed the militancy carried out the attack the words come less than a week after how many cars eyes half brother around the country in the south was gunned down the taliban is stepping up its assaults on afghan officials right now as nato troops begin to withdraw on sunday the alliance handed over control of the first of seven designated areas to local forces that the war activist jim brown told us the trial of military bases is being left behind. i would question to what extent they really want to leave clearly they have to present themselves as living 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 or places like kandahar about graham and so on which look very very involved hundreds of millions of dollars but certainly some process is going on and it may end up in a withdrawal or something that we could recognizably call a withdrawal 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 the security for who or for walks when they talk about handing over responsibility for security because by all accounts for example the afghan army as it's called is very much biased towards certain ethnic groups so it starts with that from the beginning so the idea that it would be an impartial force or seem to be impossible for seems to be extremely unlikely. brown coalition

a change of the top for nato in afghanistan with general david petraeus leaving to take over director of the cia he's being replaced by general john allen who will oversee the gradual transfer of responsibility for security from nato troops to local forces but it's not like reports. that afghan forces are too divided too 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 and the bullets being fired blanks the men here are halfway through a ten week program and the officers don't cut them any slack when it's over i'll be deployed in eastern congo a 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 its ranks of swollen to about one hundred seventy thousand troops thanks to fresh waves of recruits attracted by higher wages and extra perks and soldiers and says they are all united in their desire to beat back the taliban led insurgency regardless of age or ethnicity then in the army we are all brothers and we are all called by one mean. by a call of duty is also struck a chord beyond able bodied males the first ever class of women soldiers has just graduated. and there's even a mujahedeen unit made up of hardened veterans of the anti soviet you're hot this is all good news to u.s. military planners who have set a two thousand and fourteen million to hand over security responsibilities to the afghans the afghan army and so is a much better reputation of the police force is even featured in a recent movie. but is the army takes greater responsibility for security around the country there are concerns that the quality of troops may be coming at the expense of quality for starters more than eighty percent of troops are illiterate

a big problem with the ability to read maps and numbers can spell the difference between life and adding to the was a widespread drug use and 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 x. warlords who still command loyalties along regional and ethnic lines and could drag the country deeper into conflict 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'm tough neutral. it wouldn't be. fighting each other you'd be killing each other these people the meaning. of that it looks if you control it yet another obstacle for a young army but still has much to prove before it can still. choose a mortal incog for a time. a major terror plot hatched there moscow's main fall by a russian security forces police have detained a group of four people from the north caucasus who are allegedly planning the

attack our correspondent in a culture never was in the caucasus for us it's got the latest. well all the members of the group that was detained by russian special forces were originally from the north caucasus regions and they were planning an attack in crowded areas as well as the transport hubs of the moscow region now special forces found guns explosives maps and scoundrels all of these plans it's not also old as the detained people have confronted and police other people there are believed to be linked to the attack were also found now president medvedev 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 anti terror raids and despite the fact that dozens of terrorists were killed during those operations silvy a potential terrorist rats' remains high according to russia's interim ministry and today are true the news of this failed operation of this failed attack president

just underlines about the situation in the region remains very time for the last twenty four hours have seen two dogs the blast that hit russia's north caucasus and the first one happened in change now two policemen were killed and seven august one says when an explosive head to such operation in the mountainous area and that was the second one had been in the republic of dagestan it was a roadside bomb detonated as troll car was profiting by the explosion allowed to policeman and three others wounded all these have been in the wake of the week anti terror raid that was launched in the region in the republic of dagestan two days ago now despite being a number of air raids and the fighting against terrorism goes own still good friends remains and search operations containing. that's of course probably going to cochin over the caucasus forests through to come on to you tonight. for you to

see you see the good good. patrice's said to the wall because study elected objects . if i know why some russian girls are showing their support for putin ahead of next year's presidential elections by taking a close up. lifting of a cruiser that sank in russia's volga river last sunday killing around one hundred thirty people may take up to several days the vessel first has to be moved off its side in what's one of the operations most difficult stages the recovery could play a crucial role in fighting and says as to why the ship went down from darkness 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 throw 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 found and also to try and find the causes a centrally the hole that let all the water in so fast and made the bulgaria 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 the news of where their loved ones may be and then also want the same answers as to why is trying to flee 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 have come out saying old and decrepit in fact not even worthy to be on the water of the volga hopefully the raising of this ship will show in

very short time what has remained a mystery up till now and hopefully help provide some kind of answers as to why so many lives were lost in such a short space of time. some twenty two thousand people or why a green card lottery delivered america good luck seems suddenly to have deserted them their dreams of a new life were dashed when the u.s. state department claimed a bit of computer a lot the results were no longer valid now the stories cast fresh dough too in the way the lottery operates as art is going into it you can find out. hoping for a better life in america if you took or from nigeria apply 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 a kitchen pour that i want to watch in full force that i'm going to get off. 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 you were the jerk part is the right to live and work in america is advertised as completely random the state department claims in this case there was a computer glitch and the results were not arbitrary a computer programming error caused more than ninety percent of the select a person to gaze 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 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 the records and all the tracks are on your cd player when you get around you may get tracks three four and five and then your track twelve can still run 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 do you believe that america. can issue gun or t. washington d.c. . in world news tonight libyan rebels say they've taken control of the eastern town frager and those forces loyal to colonel gadhafi retreated to the west but further fighting is likely in the city with around two hundred gadhafi troops still holed up in buildings there is an important oil town about seven hundred fifty kilometers east of the capital has changed hands several times now since the uprising began in

in videos of me stripping off with prizes for the winners some of the stunts are becoming something of a tradition in russia you may recall last year students from a top university pose for a raunchy calendar expressing their love for the prince. followed up but i can tell you in twenty minutes time we got a sport for this monday night with you know discover who was the latest giant of world football to fall out of top america this weekend business now than it was here. hello and welcome to the business updates on our team before course of b.p. is considering a bid for two major russian oil courts people close to sony hayward saying he's interested in go through snapped of course but i'm ready to cross the road looks at how likely such a deal could be. tony hayward have been lookin soon best ever since their company's float on the london stock exchange last month they raised over two

billion dollars which could hardly phone the acquisition of two russian oil producers by sheer everest nafta worth around twelve billion dollars this takes a question from russian side rubbing where you have to send those holding company a a place is the emma none of the companies being talked about have made an official statement but analysts we spoke a few got such a deal could be possible if they has repeatedly said that it has no interest in selling out so angry as that but analysts say the price being talked about is good enough to make a f. k. take it seriously especially since all companies are know it's poor business at the same time envious all and actual gas corp has been in talks with passion of andrew stephens to merge the two companies and buy its one to five percent stake all whoever ends up getting these assets one thing is for sure and that is that they will be getting access to one of the biggest discovered oil fields

a rush. to the stores now russia's ferg largest will produce that. is continuing its international expansion company has agreed to buy a forty five percent stake next location project in the amazon forest your account is around fifty thousand square kilometers and holds over five hundred million barrels of oil equivalent sources close to the deal say he could pay up to one billion dollars he will stick. so to the markets now and will is low of very sharp drop actually investors are concerned about the worsening debt crisis in europe and the united states that it all may slow down the corn the other way and fuel demand and also the dollar is strong versus the euro therefore dollar nominated assets such as crude oil are going down in the u.s. the stock markets. opened blow up after a measure of building confidence showed a bit of improvement in july but no prospects for further improvement beveled down

down the dow is down one point three percent rather european stocks ended the day one point five five percent down the stress test results have just been published and they've shown lenders may have to raise additional cash bank is leading the downside rally and therefore what we're seeing in london and in frankfurt is a shock to. move to russia also the close of monday session sort of open disease dropped more than one and a half percent this is still a ways before this week's e.u. summit which leaders will once again try to find a solution to the greek debt problem but so far they are trying to remain cautious and vigilant and not invest into long term assets let's take a look at some of the main movers on the my sex then because while is dropping so much was never lost more than three percent the t.v. was down one hundred percent despite publishing project financial results and a good exception was holding that's all it was on the rise of almost four percent

as the rest of the people safe haven in gold related assets well you know what i can wraps up today's trip. rick a day or for today for investors was sort of the crisis in europe around the stock markets was negative while marcus was the bottom percent which is comparable to all the european stock market was good news is oil prices stay sky gold prices there continue and which drive some stores will stocks to new highs on the quarter metal to each other to borrow three point six percent which is quite different say from was a softer basis in my view to talk more of the day my business out he will be back in fifteen minutes time comes next with.
