functions to these security companies they are not regulated in that they are not controlled and this is what we're extremely concerned that what we call in is for the national the international hook so that. companies are accountable but washington is reluctant to lead an international body regulate their cavities 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 a criminal investigation or a prosecution of sing out of. what experts say further privatization of war is convenient for the american government because among other reasons it doesn't have

of the transfers we should not are great on schedule as 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 hounds but unfortunately pereira he's there every time there's a war is also where a priority is during wars or on success not on civilian people who are really. main thing that we should pay attention to. that was a former afghan. talking about the impact the war is having on afghanistan's civilian population. and always intelligence service says there's no evidence that it's connected to far right extremists in norway or elsewhere thirty two year old who admits killing seventy six people last friday claims he was part of

becoming a breeding ground for fall right. who lit the fuse and those brave it claims to have been involved with the english defense league which pledges to protect england from what it calls a wave of islamic the case said the a.d.l. denies that makes that political analysts are saying if the attacks in norway don't 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. lie. crosstalk later today on our peta lavelle's guests argue whether briggs and see islamic vitriol is giving a platform for similar horrific attacks. people like people like the leader of the e.t.l. they admire i mean he wasn't a national television it green with many of the messages out of the fifteen hundred

words he only disagreed with one thing which was the terrorist act itself but he agreed with everything else the rhetoric was there and then before he finished he categorically issued a threat saying in five years' time this is going to happen unless you wake up unless you wake up because of the this is not the thing is i want to say this is a person who has a lot when he was obviously a little finish my point. for this passenger appeal is all the norwegian police there's another two cells ok he's put in his own manifesto and he's mentioned sort of norwegian police already but he's worked with english defense league there are seventy and i was pleased that's an important point stephen you can reply that those go ahead i believe it's a load of rubbish we're not going to see this kind of thing happen in england we're not going to see it happening across europe this man was a one off nobody will ever get to know what his motivations were but i will say this about that i'm pleased that his hearing is being held in secret because we've

been trying for years to get the place of islam in western democracy discussed and all we've been called a fascist phobic race is ok go it's. right across the uk it's here in a less than twenty minutes time right here are today. but before that we're in kiev where they are keeping the face shows leaders from former soviet states of gathered together to mark ancient russia's adoption of christianity. and where money grows on trees some dodgy disaster cleanup firms and russia's forests are making the catch among the. you with r.t. now britain officially are recognizes that libya's rebels as the legitimate government that has expelled colonel gadhafi it's their rights it's also on freezing one hundred fifty million dollars of libyan oil assets to help fund the rebels tripoli insists it will not enter peace talks to end the four months long

civil war in till nato stops its airstrikes un talks with the rebels in benghazi also making the progress towards a cease fire professor mark armand from oxford university things there won't be the dramatic collapse of his regime which nato expected and hoped for. traditionally britain has recognised governments not on the basis of all that we like them are or that they control the territory the state. lost control of parts of libya but clearly the rebels don't control it yet so this is a sudden a new precedent and after all the interest on the other problem is that the rebels on the ground see interest or even with the nato bombing raids. i remember when this started more than four months ago we were told it would be mushroom weeks rather of months and so i suspect really what really of hate british forces which is doing this really having a simple effect to try to show that somehow or other ristal in charge of the situation in the situation is increasingly unpredictable the real problem for nato

is the rest they have a lucky strike because they tried several times in the capital program by bombing places where they thought the chances are that that won't be a dramatic collapse of his regime survived the first shock in fact and so now the question is will the rebels have sufficient resources. push on through cotton small fighting it's difficult to avoid the conclusion of the crisis news insert in great field of how toil and one of the problems has been for the rebels thought very quickly they would get hold of the oil assets from the capacity to turn all exports into money you know to operate the oil and wait they need money to maintain their forces because a they need money for social services such as oil but also we need money really supply support non-trade want some training after this conflict is each side pays for most mission had a lot about colonel gadhafi and his supporters would rather overlook how hard the rebels fight in return for cash and of course this is cash flow they don't fight

and this is water missions like a lot of our forces who are better motivated maybe better paid have actually been able to resist rather horrific to flee from paris and london expected in practice missing balik decision to recognize the rebels kicked out of his six months in london masks i think a deep interest and indeed a strategic crisis for the nato countries led by britain proms. all right so in our sixteen minutes past the hour here in moscow you would r.t. we'll check out some other world news for you now the mayor of the volatile afghan city of kandahar has been assassinated after a suicide bomber detonated explosives hidden inside his turban it's the latest in a series of killings targeting the country's top officials earlier this month president karzai is half brother and a senior aide were gunned down in separate attacks by the violence comes as nato combat troops begin to withdraw from afghanistan. the white house is threatening
