headline so far it's already some american security firm blackwater goes on trial but for overbilling the government said not for killing civilians in iraq and despite claims of atrocities against innocent people the u.s. resorts to music more apart from first on foreign missions. their region intelligence says the far right suspect to admitted to the deadly terrorist attacks acted alone but europe's growing nationalistic mood is speeding fears of more violence elsewhere. britain recognizes libya's opposition as the country's

legitimate leaders and steps up the diplomatic offensive against colonel gadhafi. just after eleven pm here in moscow you're watching r t thanks for joining us now the infamous private security firm once known as blackwater is back in court this time though it's not over alleged killings in iraq and afghanistan but over claims it build a washington too much for its services well to former employees accuse it of claiming more than one hundred million dollars of bogus expenses the company which is now known as c. provides more mercenaries for the u.s. in afghanistan than anyone else and has been implicated in a number of scandals but its contractors were accused of gunning down seventeen on armed civilians. baghdad in two thousand and seven for which no one has been

punished but the company is doing even bigger role in afghanistan with the u.s. about to double its private army to replace departing troops meanwhile the un wants tighter control over her scenarios to protect human rights and its artie's go ahead check out reports it's more convenient for the us to use hired guns since their actions slipped under the radar. this iraqi man son nine year old allie khilnani was shot dead by private american war contractors four years ago this brain felt something ground between my feet on the same day dozens of other innocent iraqis were shot right trigger happy us professional killers they shot like. everyone they can seem no one of blackwater the firm for whom the hired guns work has been punished for the massacre to 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 when rights violations including porcher

rape and murder the u.s. supreme court recently threw out a lawsuit alleging abuse of prisoners by the contractors. in afghanistan it's reported human rights violations in the billings are committed by security firms on a regular basis to an expense to undermine call the horses' counterinsurgency efforts will start firing at anything that moves in general kill innocent afghans destroy property we're getting fairly consistent complaints about them everybody knows somebody who's been shot by the contractions. the lack of accountability has forced the united nations working group on mercenaries to push for specific international measures to regulate their activities especially now as u.s. military forces withdraw from iraq and afghanistan the number of contractors is said to grow dramatically u.s.

. source many of the. functions to these security companies they are not regulated in that they are not control and this is what we are extremely concerned that what we call in is for relation to the national and at the international level so that. companies are accountable but washington is reluctant to lead an international body regulate their activities saying it will find ways to hold contractors accountable and so far the u.s. justice system has largely failed to do so we're 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 prosecution or sing out of. experts say for the 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 a 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 is a quote we cannot win a fight for hearts and minds when we outsource critical missions to an accountable contractors and if problem 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 down to increase and where the victims of their crime still begging for justice i'm going to check our reporting from washington our team. well earlier i spoke to derek crowe from the social justice for the brave new foundation and he says the u.s. prefers private contractors because they aren't as easy as regular troops to bring

to justice these folks are not the people that you see held up as as kind of paragons of american patriotism they're not uniformed troops they are private for profit contractors and they are much much easier for a president to use a little because they're not who we think of as the troops or our brave men and women on the ground he likes to talk about it with reference to regular forces and so because of that and because they're a private company operating in kind of a jurisdictional black box you don't have be embarrassments usually i guess that you would if u.s. soldiers were on the ground in these conflicts far beyond the usual mandate and they are there since they're not as accountable as u.s. forces to the u.s. government into the american people they're able to get away with a lot more of the president's and want to use any time any foreign force he was in kills locals either through mistake or through over aggression or things like that

it absolutely damages u.s. security and what the united states is trying to achieve in any of these countries but it's worse when those actions occur and in the local see that because there are these high paid mercenaries if there is no accountability there absolutely enrages people and it should be shooting range both the people in the countries where it happens and it should enraged here in the united states as tax dollars are paying for it and in whose name those actions being taken. and a short while on our team in kiev where they're keeping the faith church leaders from former soviet states have gathered together to mark ancient russia's adoption of christianity. norway's intelligence service says there's no evidence that anders breivik is connected to far right extremists in norway or elsewhere the thirty two year old who admits killing seventy six people last friday claims he is part of a wider mission well his lawyer insists is insane and didn't know what he was doing

but is laura about reports his anti immigration message is one that has chilling echoes across europe. and ethnic hatred that led to the slaughter of scores of innocent young people and does prevent the massacre to which she freely admits was a justified strike against the political left for supporting open borders and multiculturalism and even though the staunchest of hardliners condemn brave fix her actions anti immigration sentiment is growing across europe and other groups all its first condolences and then a quick and separate themselves from brooklyn are also quick to lay blame left wing politicians which they say or are responsible because they allowed immigration happen and effectively pushed the scar to the edge 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. because it will have groups who are satisfied in the real have other groups who see that the governments are not doing enough they are not discussing the issues enough . in this going forward in the future i think this nor their 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 are going to move towards nationalism is pound european as well as the b.n.p. making gains in the u.k. hollands controversial good builders now leads the country's third largest political party running on an anti islam platform nationalists the truth in the political landscape this year when they won nearly twenty percent of the vote the 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 prefix to disturbingly depicted on the internet by some extremists as a hero three thousand people voted for his video manifesto one you cheap and his group knights templar became a popular search topic on google i'm quite concerned that there are a lot of individuals. which writing this manifesto will resonate with. i'm very concerned that you will see other people copycat these types of attacks on support 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 are easy logs who lit the fuse and those great

great plains to been involved with the english defense league which played just to protect england from what it calls the wave of islamic the case said the e.t.l. denies but 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 expand in all over europe. r.t. london. a jailed associate of convicted oil tycoon mikhail khodorkovsky has been denied parole and will stay in custody well at a hearing in northern russia but on the wife and daughter with an emotional plea for his early release but the judge ruled that lead would have is not eligible to be let out of prison artie's it. was at the hearing. it was up to the small local court to decide the fate of one of russia's best known prisoners after two days of

hearings and intense debate between prosecutors and the dishonest team the judge ruled against granting the employer not looking a bit different because about. to separate cases in two thousand and five and twenty times they were found guilty all types of asians about sums of money laundering of you will spoil what some seventeen billion rubles an equivalent of over half a billion dollars the defense team managed to reduce that by one year and now the two will be released by twenty sixteen now under russian law go those convicted of economic crimes can qualify for parole after serving more than a couple best sunsets but only because has been behind bars for over eight years now and they must condition for him to be released is that you demonstrates good behavior and also if. the lottery has not been the case with blood believe you did and as for his personal records the reference which was played out by ministration

of the prison where he's now serving his term ruled against granting him the role citing the laws of prison faulty and behavior the reference also saw that they did not find it reasonable to grant him early release and these was of course the crucial factor which enclosed the judge's decision. britain now officially recognizes libya's rebels as the legitimate government and has expelled colonel gadhafi is diplomats and 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 when the four month long civil war until nato stops its airstrikes you are in talks with the rebels in gaza he's also making little progress towards a cease fire but we can get a service side of this from jeremy corbyn who is a british opposition labor party here and peace campaigner thank you very much mr corbett for being with us on the program the u.k. previously said it recognised countries not governments but it is this situation

really as unique as foreign secretary william hague is making it out to be. i know it's not unique but would think what he's done is change the rules by which britain normally recognizes as he correctly says countries not governments because what he's done here is given tacit recognition and support the transitional government for quite a long time and is now formally announced recognition of them and give them a hundred million pounds almost all of us but only to the. former government of libya but behind us is the attempt to unfreeze the not from the larger tranche of assets running from the legal teams and so reality usually on the other side is a war for regime change and this is now when you are successful and i think that this is going to be subject to a lot of legal documents and additionally he claims the legitimacy of the transitional government it has no democratic base is anymore than the regime of

colonel gadhafi has an elected place and so he has made a value judgment based on his political instincts so let's talk about those assets . frozen well like his so far as that oil assets have been handed over to the rebels as you know is do you see a danger in allowing billions of dollars into the hands of a fairly disparate opposition group. well this is the concern because it's very unclear where the support for this opposition group comes from it is known that they have political support from a number of gulf gulf cooperation council countries and saudi arabia it's known that. oil salesmen there often it's known that france has been giving them as much as it is causing because and also apparently there are special forces from a number of countries operating on their behalf within libya the coalition forces britain france and the nato forces said it was

a no fly zone in reality it has been the bombing of infrastructure targets as well as military targets throughout libya and has been considerable bombing going on in tripoli itself. is involved in a civil war between the sensational government and the gadhafi regime in tripoli and i suspect this is going to run for a very long time and incredibly nasty brother and there are human rights abuses being reported on both sides including the treatment of african people by the transitional government as well as the treatment of opposition people by the government of mali people for now that tripoli also told you went on board that there will be no peace talks until they stopped its airstrikes but we see that the bombing said continue how much this nato really want a peaceful and. well there is some opposition to the bombing campaign in western countries who are concerned about the amount of money that's being spent over six thousand bombing sorties over libya in the past few months and the damage there is

still in some quite clear as to be any peace talks has to be a cease fire and it's in the hands of the west as much as anybody else to ensure that a cease fire takes place and clearly there have been talks with representatives of the position the train a few days ago when britain and other countries said that they could see a future in which could feel his family could remain in libya well it's about time . they said something like that because that's far more intelligent approach than deciding what each side position must be before the negotiations actually begin ok let's not move the u.k. out the u.k. is proud of its democracy and being open to all sides but isn't there a contradiction if it's expelling one of the libyan sides well it's a very strange situation all round because britain formally recognized the government to free in providing arms and training for his forces and so on march of this year huge amount of trade with libya he did

a vast amount of good investment in britain then the war started in libya britain and france joined in the nato joint be persuaded the un to pass one hundred seventy three which is allegedly a no fly zone and nearly decided they're going to switch horses in expel the diplomats from tripoli and replace them with the people from going gars it will seems to me that we are now deeply involved in the civil war and effectively trying to play judge and jury on the future of libya surely the future of libya it's with libyan people the source not west of us. thank you very much for your insight there jeremy corbyn a british opposition labor party m.p. m.p.'s campaigner thank you. russia has harshly criticized america's decisions were imposed travel restrictions on a group of russian officials linked to the case of a lawyer who died in jail sergei magnitsky died after spending almost a year in a russian prison while awaiting trial for tax evasion he is across the story for
