all 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 and he said that the prime minister's relationship with the former news of the world editor and cool surgeon 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 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 now that obviously puts cameron very very much in the spotlight we've also seen boris 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 cause 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 if 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 not his call for laura or the journalists nor . from london to give us a few thoughts of his own about what's unfolding in front of our eyes. to the waves of the scandal a lot bigger to feed to the british peer oh no although will the public want to. well at the moment there are already two labor m.p.'s kaufman and the new skinner requested that the prime minister should resign but there is a lot from the point of view of. the conservative the tories they don't feel the

minister should resign but we don't know how it will go in the next few days every day there are new arrests there are new nation and there are new revelation that will come in the next few days and then we'll see what the prime minister's position is but at the moment it doesn't seems likely that a promise there will be resigned but there's a general feeling isn't there that he hasn't handled it very well well i feel that well i can see that he did not at the beginning and it took him a while and miliband what actually was leading the to schole but soon as he realised that there were a discount it was too big and it could not be backtracked and he could no longer continue as he did i think the kind of took the position that we will investigate everything to the. right to the end of it and we will make sure that. the police investigations are going on. it is difficult to see at the moment of this will turn out for them in the public view but his reading of the gone down very much and so

at the moment we can only wait and see what tomorrow the subcommittee hearings will actually bring more about what kind of ablations will be said all right but the british prime minister covered by the british police in the last twenty four hours britain's two most senior police officers resigned over the scandal how these allegations affecting the force right now go to affect the public's trust in policing. well there's been reports of about one hundred thirty thousand pounds worth of bribes that were given to the police in learned but at the moment they are telling cleary this is going on on every level within the police outside the police with some communities with the judge as well in all every kind of domain in this situation so we'll have to wait and see what this investigation will bring but at the moment even tomorrow some committees meeting might not bring that much information from the murdoch's now and. since there is an ongoing investigation is going to be impeded you're going to ask you about that so you

don't think any explosive evidence there all the media is going to be trained of course so no what i've got to say are what rupert murdoch and his son as you say in their former u.k. c.e.o. rebecca brooks are going to say to those employees tomorrow but you think it's going to be a low key event. no according to the biographers of. murdoch rupert murdoch says that it's likely that they will speak more than the should all that they're not exactly prepared for these kind of meetings and the last one in two thousand and three i believe there have become books already stated that there was corruption that he paid police officials to get information about a public it is even said that the news of the world. and seem to track down people the other mobile phones that only the police should have for there are lots of question of a probably be asked tomorrow and if they do answer as likely that they may answer you we might see that tomorrow might actually be something explosive could be

extraordinary divinations that will actually lead to more arrests and more resignations lot of questions we would have to see to wait and we will have to wait and see tomorrow no question marks as well about how this was allowed to go on for so long it's now only coming out the full extent of the methods used by the news of the world is needed but the government the police have apparently been turning a blind eye to this for years how could that have happened you think. it seems that . the politicians and the police by extensions depends on the media to actually get elected in power and the ways that rupert murdoch actually seems to be going about this business is that if if they don't grant interviews or if they don't do this or that usually they can be dirty then in the press and the newspapers and the empire of a mother by powerful so the news the politicians have got to be friends you know if you want with the press and they certainly were with international news and the news of the world and so at the moment it is but i see that it was difficult for

them to actually get out of this friendship or to break this friendship from fears that they might have been in the next elections the police well there was bribery is it seems the investigation will cover perhaps. there may be the investigations were stopped but also the blind eye for so long the eleven thousand page documents from care that they have actually recovered that they are not going through and so why did not actually gone into this in two thousand and nine and so there are hard questions and there was a lot of there were a lot of people in high places that didn't seem to want this to explode and so the moment it's gone too far now the public opinion is totally against. this to be actually hushed up any longer since. the. the the million dollar incidence of the teenager's murder where actually the news of the world seems to be in. phones and deleted messages to try to get new messages was the parents thought

that she must still alive when actually showed been murdered so this was the event that started the scandal but this story is not new if it was actually nick davis from the guardian who was working with the new york times who actually in july two thousand and nine this is when he wrote this the main articles about him is in his investigation into phone hacking. so it's only now that actually they can this proportions and only now the politicians feel and even the police feel that in proper investigation they can be made and we can only hope with an inquiry going on . the government will be able to we will be able to get the ok well we'll be here in order morrow as you say it's a messy business more questions to be answered tomorrow our cameras will be there will be across what's happening as well journalist and author roland michel tremblay thanks for your thoughts thank you for coming up here on r.t. searching for answers as the recovery operation of the crews which sank in russia's

volga river continues to bring all the latest from the sea and also to come in the program tonight. believe that america to get off the valley find out why twenty two thousand winners of the green card lottery of seeing their luck run out on their way to the united states. next though the taliban has claimed responsibility for the assassination of the afghan president's senior adviser in the capital kabul along with one of the country's m.p.'s local security forces say they've already killed the militants who carried out the attack the murders come less than a week of how many cars half brother who ran the south of the country was the taliban stepping up its assault on afghan officials as nato combat troops begin to withdraw on sunday the alliance handed over control of the first of seven designated areas to local forces antiwar activist jim brown told us a trail of military bases have been 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 by 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 and involve 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 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 ethnic groups so it starts with that handicap from the beginning so the idea that it would be an impartial force or seen

to be an impartial force seems to be extremely unlikely. to change the top for nato and of going to start with general david petraeus leaving to take over as director of the cia he's been replaced by general john allen who will oversee the gradual transfer of responsibility for security from nato troops to local forces but is a small plug reports next razzi this concern that ask 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 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 to eastern could our 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 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 led insurgency regardless of age or ethnicity then in yarmouth we are old brothers and we are all called by one name on. 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 mujahideen 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 deadline 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 recent moves. but is the army takes greater responsibility for security around the country there are concerns that the quantity of troops may be coming in 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 death adding to the woes are 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 ex 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 was not neutral. it will be here late ninety's fighting each other killing each other these people waiting in. the groups to control it in yet another obstacle for a young army that still has much to prove before it can stand on its own feet chasing what log in kabul for two. major terror plot hatched in moscow has been followed by russia's security services police have detained a group of four people from the north caucasus were allegedly planning the attack

guerrier snapped and they were trying to at the time to right the ship before lifting 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 essential of 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 they 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 shit 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 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 for some twenty two thousand people who want to green card lottery to live in america good luck seems suddenly to deserted them their dreams of a new life are dashed when the u.s. state department claimed a bit of computer error and the results were no longer valid now the stories coast fresh doubt on the way the lottery operates as artie's gun if you can. hoping for a better life in america will quote from nigeria applied for the green card lottery he won or so it 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 kuchuk war that i want to launch in for a four star on the lottery but it's a good offer. it's one from each year the u.s. state department grants green cards to some fifty thousand people from around the

globe the lottery where the jackpot 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 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 glitch as the state department claims one of the arguments is that even in the 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 records of all the tracks are on your cd player when you hit the run you may get tracks three four and five and then get tracked twelve that's still random 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. r.t. washington d.c. . so making news this monday night according budapest is clear the ninety seven year old home carried man of nazi war crimes the cape police captain denied being involved in the massacre of civilian hostages in serbia during world war two it was alleged a patrol under his command took part in the murder of jews in a raid by hungary and forces in one hundred forty two more than twelve hundred people killed in a tourist massacre. the un has

in the course of a looks at how likely such a deal could be. tony hayward have been looking to invest our cash ever since our company's float on the london stock exchange last month they raised over two billion dollars which could hardly fund the acquisition of two russian oil producers after every worth around twelve billion dollars the stakes a question of what people from russians like rubbing their you have to send those holding company a if case is the emma none of the companies being talked about have made an official statement but analysts we've spoken to believe that such a deal could be possible if they has repeatedly said that it has no interest in selling out so angry but analysts say the price being talked about is good enough to make a if they take it seriously especially since all companies i know it's poor business at the same time envious all and natural gas corp has been in talks with passion if

ever to merge the two companies and buy a twenty 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 ever russia. moving on now russia's furred largest oil producer is continuing its international expansion the company has agreed to buy a forty five percent stake in the next project in the zone for area covers around fifty thousand square kilometers and holds over five hundred million barrels in oil equivalent sources close the deal say he could pay up to one billion dollars for the stake for the markets now we start with the oil price of oil is though with investors concerned the worsening debt crisis in europe may slow be brought to me and weigh on fuel the month. the rising dollar is actually creating grounds for a drop in oil price. u.s. market so the true measure of building confidence showed

a bit of improvement in june but none in july still get out of the down one percent . one percent recovering slightly of them compared to the previous hour european stocks are extending last week's losses and stress test results have shown lenders may have to raise additional cash banks are leading the downside there for both in london where the footsies down one point five five percent same amount and that says the dax so right but it's also led by banks now it's moved to the russian markets they also started the week on a very negative note the r.t.s. down one point eight percent nice at one point six percent main reason energy prices declining and therefore the oil companies like draw snaps take a look at them last summer like two percent d.t.b. also climbed one half the said despite publishing positive financial results for the first quarter we talked about that just a second late so the polymath is up almost four percent at the close because investors will shift into assets like gold at hard times but you know bragging

wraps up the day straight. rick a day or quarter day for investors who was there prices in europe and the stock markets was negative well marcus was the bottom one percent which is comparable to european stock markets was good news is oil price was strafed high gold prices very clear continue and which drives some historical stocks to new heart for the metal which added about three four six percent which is quite different from ours assaults and pieces in my view to talk more of the day kevin is next up on out see with headlines.

we'll. bring you the latest in science and technology from around the flusher. we've got the few jerks covered. in india they move. people to. go to the grand imperial truly to talk.

america's shuttle program close's they had a russian space agency ross costless here with me thank you very much mr paul for joining us thank you for inviting me well americans how will now have company it is the russian telescope looking to discover something missing during all the years it's been operating deal with foreign scientists not russian so our telescopes the specter are is more interesting than the whole space telescope in terms of capacity for new discoveries it's a very exact science implying that final results must be analyzed in detail and are open to interpretation so it's difficult to forecast anything here the telescope makes it possible to monitor emerging new stars and galaxies you know radio frequency bands to witness the events and gather statistical data on the basis of which it would be possible to predict how our planet and indeed our universe develops to understand.
