she's available in the movie going to join me the chills the elevators the gateway to the grand imperial surely the torch was pushed coromandel you can away with a chill chill as legitimate you see don't need to go and. read this and the colonel was a child as used to retreat. notorious american security firm water goes on trial for overbilling the government and not for killing civilians in iraq and it despite claims of atrocities against innocent people the u.s. resort to using more contractors on foreign missions. norwegian intelligence says the far right suspect would mid to deadly terrorist attacks he says that he acted alone but europe's growing and nationalistic mood is feeding fears of more violence elsewhere. in a recognizes that libya's opposition as the country's legitimate leaders and steps up but diplomatic offensive against colonel gadhafi. and then business press is

leading go produce a point is gold has been taken over by london may subside recall that call your company started trading company stock thirty four more on that in our business bulletin and when that time. was just after five pm here in moscow you with arts here i'm wrong are some shy the infamous private security firm once known as blackwater he was back in court this time though it's not over alleged killings in iraq and afghanistan but other claims that bill that washington too much for its services to former employees accuse it of claiming more than one hundred million dollars in bogus expenses the company which is now known as z. provides more mercenaries for the u.s. in afghanistan than anyone else and has been implicated in a number of scandal. it's contractors that were accused of gunning down seventeen

unarmed civilians in baghdad in two thousand and seven for which no one has been punished companies do an even bigger role in afghanistan with the u.s. about a double its private army to replace departing meanwhile the un wants tighter control over mercenaries to protect human rights but it's also use a guy name to report so it's more convenient for the u.s. to use hired guns since their actions slip under the radar. this iraqi men son nine year old allie khilnani was shot dead by private american war contractors four years ago his brain fell to the ground between life on the same day dozens of other innocent iraqis were shot right trigger happy u.s. professional killers they shot like they were trying to kill everyone if you'd seen no one of blackwater the firm for whom the hired guns work has been punished for the massacre two other private american security companies were contracted to carry out interrogations at the notorious abu ghraib prison in iraq

a name synonymous now with her rethinking on rights violations including torture rape and murder the us supreme court recently threw out a lawsuit alleging abuse of prisoners by the contractors. in afghanistan its report about human rights violations and even billings are committed by security firms on a regular basis to an extent set to undermine call the horses counterinsurgency efforts girls don't firing at anything that moves will injure or kill innocent afghans and will destroy property we're getting fairly consistent complaints about them everybody knows somebody who's been shot by a contract. the lack of accountability has forced the united nations working group on mercenaries to push for specific international measures to regulate their it pivots especially now as u.s. military forces withdraw from iraq and afghanistan the number of contractors is set to grow dramatically. so many.

functions and. companies they are not related in that they are not control and he says we are extremely concerned that what we are calling is for relation to the national and international level so that. companies are accountable but washington is reluctant to lead an international body to regulate their activities saying it will find ways to hold contractors accountable but so far the u.s. justice system has largely failed to do so for seeing around the world cases of kidnapping rape murder. and we see very very only very rare cases in which case actually criminal investigation or prosecution are saying our. experts say further privatization of war is convenient for the american

government because among other reasons it doesn't have to justify the deaths of troops at home the president whoever the president may be can get us involved in conflicts only using uniform forces to do the official fighting and then thousands and thousands of contractors to do the unofficial fighting that's under the radar screen that isn't covered by the media now here's a quote we cannot win a fight for hearts and minds when we outsource critical missions to an accountable contractors and of course that's what senator obama said before he became president but apparently as a president now he thinks differently with the contractors role in america's wars found to increase and with the victims of their crime still begging for justice i'm going to check our reporting from washington party. meanwhile the mayor of the volatile afghan city of kandahar has been assassinated after a suicide bomber detonated explosives hidden in his turban the latest in

a series of killings targeting the country's top officials just earlier this month president karzai is half brother and a senior aide will gunned down in separate attacks former afghan m.p. dollars so it says nato is possibly withdrawing troops prematurely the. transfer of security is possible to the afghan forces and these these incidents are making one thing very vividly. visible and that is how does this transition take hold and whether the afghan security forces and the afghan responsibility units would be ready to take over i think there's no guarantee that this trend of nato transfer will will continue smoothly i i can see. reversals and at some time in the future. certain provinces

are so volatile and so critical that they may have to delays some of their transfers we should not operate on schedule of we should operate on realities on the ground here and those in washington and in europe should be secondary to the civilian population and population is ignored both by water and by civilian reconstruction and that's what counts but unfortunately priorities every time there's a war is also where priorities during wars are on success not on civilian people who are really the. main thing that we should pay attention to. i know that it was a former afghan m.p. . talking about the impact the war is happening on afghanistan's civilian population. now and always intelligence services that there's no evidence that there's a bit of it is connected to far right extremists in norway or anywhere else the thirty two year old who admits killing seventy six last friday claims he is part of

a wider mission his lawyer insists that breivik is insane and didn't know what he was doing because our seas are lower and better reports his anti immigration message is one that has chilling echoes all across europe. ethnic hatred but led to the slaughter of scores of innocent young people and as brave it the massacre to which he freely admits was a justified strike against the political left for supporting open borders and multiculturalism and even though the staunchest of hardliners condemned brave experienced pick actions anti immigration sentiment is growing across europe and other groups express their condolences and in a quick and separate themselves from brooklyn are also quick to lay blame left wing politicians which they say are responsible because they allowed integration happen and pushed this card to be a huge it's a cry that many feel is not being heard by european governments as people show

their discontent voting increasingly for previously marginal anti immigration parties and joining street movements like the anti islamic english defense league. of course we will have groups who are satisfied and we will have other groups who say that the governments are not doing enough they are not discussing the issues enough. in this going forward in the future i think this norway attacks will bring this topic into the center of the attention again and they will force. officials as well as public to focus on these issues again to move towards nationalism is pan-european as well as the b.n.p. making gains in the u.k. holland's controversial good builders now leads the country's third largest political party running on an anti islam platform nationalists the truth pins redrew the political landscape this year when they won nearly twenty percent of the

vote but danish people's party has also embraced anti immigration policies successfully lobbying for denmark to close its previously open borders with germany and. there's grass roots support for pretty thick to disturbingly depicted on the internet by some extremists as a hero three thousand people voted for his video manifesto on you tube and his group knights templar became a popular search topic on google i'm quite concerned that there are a lot of individuals. privates writing in his manifesto will resonate with. i'm very concerned that you will see other people copycatting these types of attacks coming months or coming years politicians including germany's angela merkel and britain's david cameron have already said multiculturalism has failed now the leaders of western europe have to stop their disenfranchised cities becoming

a breeding ground for far right. who lit the fuse and those brave it claims to have been involved with being gay stiff ends meet which pledges to protect england from what it calls a wave of islamic the case said the e.t.l. denies the lake but political analysts are saying if the attacks in norway do prompt an honest appraisal of the issues surrounding immigration that could further frustrate the european public and create more space for potentially violent far right groups to expanded all over europe. r.t. fun to. be with us you got from moscow thank you for joining us today we report on faith fueling friendship in a short while we are here church leaders from the former soviet states gathered together to market ancient russia's adoption of christian. and where money grows on trees of the disaster cleanup of russia's forests are making cash into.

a person now officially recognized as libya's rebels government has expelled. these developments it's also unfreezing one hundred fifty million dollars worth of libyan oil assets to help fund that the rebels tripoli insists it will not enter peace talks to end the four months long civil war in seoul nato stopped its strides u.s. talks with the rebels in benghazi are making little progress towards a cease fire professor mark armin from oxford university thinks there won't be the dramatic cuts off his regime which never was have. traditionally britain has recognized governments not on the basis of all that we like them are oracle they control the territory the state. lost control of parts of libya that clearly the rebels don't control it yet so this is a new precedent and after all the interest on the other problem is that the rebels

are on the ground seem to stall even with the nato wind rates and we remember when this started more than four months ago we were told it would be mushroom weeks rather of months or so i suspect really what really hate british warship which is doing is really having a symbolic act to try to show that somehow or other ristal in charge of the situation in the situation is increasingly unpredictable the real problem here is that unless they have a lucky strike as they tried several times of it to decapitate target or bomb in places where those. chances are that the won't be a dramatic collapse of his regime survived the first shock impact and so now the question is will the rebels have sufficient resources to push on to other months while fighting pretty difficult to avoid the conclusion that the crisis in the region in certain great deal of the toilet and one of the problems has been that the rebels have thought that very quickly play with this whole to. turn all export into money have been able to operate be all over to or if they need money to

maintain their forces because they they need money for the social services such as well but also they need money little by support from the trade one subterraneous for this concept is feed sorry. hayes from us mission had a lot about colonel gadhafi saying his supporters will rather overlook how hard the rebels fight in return for cash and of course this is cash flow they don't hurt and this is one of them is like all of our police forces who are better motivated maybe better paid have actually been able to resist rather horrifically comparison london expected in practice the symbolic decision to recognize the rebels kick out cut off in supermarkets and london mosques are in a deep in paris and indeed a strategic crisis for the nato countries led by britain all counts. oh and a quarter past the hour here in the russian capital international concern is growing over because of his actions on his border with which threaten to stoke ethnic tension about richer but e.u. the u.s. and russia have condemned the. exposition to center troops to its populated

northern territories the move was to reinforce a cross the border trade embargo which was imposed a week ago when police were has died in clashes with local serbs who were mounting a road block near one of the disputed crossings kosovo split from serbia by unilaterally proclaiming its independence in two thousand and eight around six hundred thousand ethnic serbs still live in the area but refused to recognize its authority a us try to pressure serbia to accept because of host sovereignty as part of its path to join the bloc hawkins expert and the boy shot malinche believes because of his actions are inflammatory it's the e.u. that create the tension in the first place the decision to introduce the dream or you. to send a special forces is a some direct slap in the face of the serbian government which has been nothing but cooperate you can even compete to even in the ongoing negotiations which were set up by the e.u. it is

a matter of fact. this action is what we do completely bypassed both the europeans and nato has been executed with their complicity in cooperation and honesty and that we should which is worse you need things in and imagine we were still recognise in your vision and it is that it has absolutely no interest in any sort of dialogue it came to power through violence it has prevented widespread and cleansing it serves no you're not intervening populations who has been rewarded for a. white spirit hologram of syrians in march two thousand and four and he has basically sure we're willing to behave in a civilized fashion even going into including the region of independence and know this so i just see you wishes seriously looking. is contrary to international law do you see the rules so obviously it is a message here so making it is a mess that the europeans and nato rich basically needs need to fix.

fifth of the world's forest resources defies the old wisdom while the government can turns the illegal logging cons for just a few percent of all timber production environmental activists say the skill of the problem is much greater if we believe that twenty to twenty five percent of all logging in russia is carried out illegally if it is higher than a decade ago and it's still rising on a par with the amazon rain forest the vast siberian greenery is often referred to as the lungs of the planet a close examination though you see it's cars all over the place most of the illegal say deering timber goes to china and while the locals already see the impact of deforestation on their own lives they see their only other option would be far worse. you know it's illegal what you're doing. i know it's illegal but there are no water jobs here. because the government officials who are to turn
