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 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 and cool certain 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
3:02 pm
obviously puts cameron 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 it was called 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 so you could respond to laura journalists nourse a role of michelle troubling told me there's a lot of evidence to murdoch's newspapers and the police for information. there's been a report of about one hundred thirty thousand pounds worth of bribes that were given to the police in the in england but at the moment there are about ten in queries going on on every level within the police outside of police with some communities
3:03 pm
with a judge as well in all every kind of domain in this situation so we have to wait and see where this investigation will bring according to biographers of. murdoch rupert murdoch he says that it's likely that they will speak more than he should or that they're not exactly prepared for these kind of meetings and the last one in two thousand and three i believe they have become books already says stated that there was corruption that he paid police officials to get information about a public the it is even said that the news of the world. and cian to track down people via their mobile phone was that only the police should have for there are lots of our question of will probably be asked tomorrow and if they do answer as likely that leamy and then the old we might see that tomorrow might actually be something explosive could be extraordinary divinations that will actually lead to more arrests and more resignations but we would have to see to wait and we'll have
3:04 pm
to wait and see it tomorrow. coming up here on our team with me kevin now in searching for answers personal recovery operate for the crew thank you russians volga river continues to bring all the latest from there and also head to. believe that a value find out why twenty two thousand winners of the green card lottery have seen their luck run out on their way to the united states. and. 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 impedes local security forces say they've already killed the militants who carried out the attack the murders come less than a week. rather around the south of the country was gunned down the taliban stepping up its assault on afghan officials as nato combat troops begin to withdraw. there the alliance handed over control of the first of seven designated areas to local forces but on the war activity brown told the trail the military base is
3:05 pm
a big 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 about 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
3:06 pm
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. meanwhile there's a change at the top for nato in afghanistan with general david petraeus leaving to take over as director of the cia's being replaced by general john allen who will oversee the gradual transfer of responsibility for security from nato troops to local forces but as jason reports next for r t there's concern that the 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 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 eastern province one of afghanistan's most violent corners. but we must
3:07 pm
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 was by the call of duty has also struck a chord beyond able bodied males a first ever class of woman soldiers has just graduated. 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 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 the recent movie. but is the army takes greater responsibility for security around the
3:08 pm
country there are concerns that the quantity 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 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 you'll be fighting each other you will be killing each other these people the way the. little groups do control it in yet another obstacle for a young army but still has much to prove before it can stand on its own feet jason
