after launch. up next just deface editor in chief of italy's prominent espresso weekly news magazine he discusses italy's controversial role in the war in afghanistan and its vested interest in seeing khadafi ousted in libya. allegations of italian forces paying bribes to the taliban first appeared in the media in two thousand and nine a place that was furiously denied by but now u.s. diplomatic cables uncovered by italian less press a magazine reveal that concerns over the alleged payments reached the highest levels of the us administration we're joined now by the editor of the magazine generally good thank you very much for joining us so you'll make a scene uncovered these diplomatic cables yeah these cables go. down so what was going on in afghanistan we have

a different. source to tell intelligence about this problem and be made by the government done in ninety nine now do we can. give us a confirmation because according to these files bush personally president bush was asking berlusconi our first minister to stop the prime and in afghanistan when the time salam gone first published of some allegation all of the ten out of these all the members of the government of the defense minister. in the blue mosque only person won't deny that they said that the was not by meant why we can exclude the boers now give us the evidence that the young government was paying some tribes on the taliban's in afghanistan ok so let's talk a bit more about what happened in two thousand and nine when these allegations first came out the response from the italian government are truly there was no

response you have to feel that everything about afghanistan you need telly is a very particular question because of the we never say that italian troops are in afghanistan for war we always said to the parliament that the. the peace mission and so everything about afghanistan is covered by a deep secret state secret the military secret and most of all this information all the evidence about what italian troops do every day in afghanistan fighting. or what all the troops do in afghanistan in italy is the night of the levels why did the italian forces take this approach towards easing. it's a traditional way i mean all the forces doing it can stand the proof of british forces paying some tribes in. cash there was an incident

in two thousand and five or. the c. one hundred eighty from the bleed from the regular for clash of the south from afghanistan manti's was full of money there was this man a bearing with the aircraft cash man a dollar and they were used to live according to. many sources including these files italian secret service where just two hours some months of quiet it's say ok italian troops are going to stay here for six months we don't care what they were going to do in the future we just want six safe months and this is the prize we are going to pay for let's talk about nate and it's late and then in libya. public opinion on libya is a different question because libya is. is

a big economic call affair for italy. traditionally leaned over it italy for. us for not sure for the interest of. all the big italian factories in the. libyan government. of ukraine which is the biggest bank a they even today the owners more amount of. them for our economy and so that's a different question in there we we have we have the side the telegram and the side of the. bell seen in benghazi because there was a bigger canonical interest in it and they can sense now that we could possibly see a very disorganized group of rebels coming in and maybe

a similar situation to be seen in iraq that this organization plays out this is a big. speech really because of the actually the people are sol does not be made by faults is coming from the east the fault is. all link at the retail end viral meant but the forces coming from the west which seems more link of the with british government i mean in italy the scene in the. situation in libya even with even now as like a big chest between italy france be trying to reach the core of all the oil fields some of the gas fields in libya libya is a big question we. we fall to that french the great retain where

using red belts to. c.l. italian assets in libya that's was the biggest fear of anything getting us the case i don't know we will see at the end of the game actually the game is going on and so. violent government but most of the thailand be good energy company and was got strongly the county envoy has got there he is. for an affair. department which is very very strong i think that and he was playing good in the last part of the secret the libyan war but we will see at the end which you mean but secretly what was going in. the. game or chariots between different tribes different group of rebels the from a former gadhafi government now we have some very important land of the

government. used to withdraw our limbs. out so it is an italian economical groups but the we don't know if these people are still. good links with the tribes and with the groups who made the rebellion and so we don't know which tribes which group which government is going to start in the next future most of all we don't know. really tall the. gas lines. pipelines this is the most important question for you to describe what's happening live is a chess game of if issue reason. the nato mission in libya was humanitarian reasons i move it has to be i mean how much of it does come down to

political games or money the libyan mission has in run a play in question is a no say in this because the reason of the mission was to. protect the population and so when yesterday there was the way back up back to was. what the nato mission has got to do to stop the rebels setback can. lead to. people living in tripoli i mean you money savvy enemies from the was a just a diplomatic mission for different interests. i don't think it was and. you have just media that one. is keeping you from any ground so refugee is given for. having problems with. the way i see the. ships were not in them.

the good chances again you're going to by chance is always the chance. how him playing how he's playing not bugging out here in general. after we will see. i think from back here the. big hair the doing all the yeah i'm not happy about how i played against america's version when it comes to. stretching. free all of that stuff so for the long term as well this is a long time member. chasing stuff around since you know it turned well number one seven years ago and it's going to come very conservative many more years ago but that's remember. golf now and dustin johnson won the barclays in new jersey by two strikes off the tournament was reduced to three runs as hurricane irene makes its way up america's east coast the twenty seven year old made up for a bogey on the third hole against accident after the bunker and. he spoke out on

just hope we don't lose too much confidence you know we've got to be realistic as they have a quality players play together every week in the magners league on shoulder night and the same at northampton you know european finalists. it's a tough charge tough challenge for everybody but i think it's the right thing for the squad to be challenge to get used to this intensity particularly worrying area for the russians describe and their game against going dragons visitors pack was regularly put on the back foot and were under a lot of pressure even on their own politicians the good thing is that the level of scrummaging the russians will face of the world cup is unlikely to be much higher than they faced on their tour of the u.k. this comes always a worry for us at the moment and i can give young props for ten years' experience in five weeks so all i can do it all we can do is make the best of that and keep working as hard as we can. that the speed of the ball saying you talk about as well because ultimately if we don't have a good platform to play from we're not going to create front football which the

lads are very good when they're on the front foot myspace so the mistakes also cost russia they were often far too slow a breakdown but they're also too many mistakes cause which prove costly one thing that the team should be getting rides of a set pieces are unfortunately there are also too many errors and the team's goal kicking was poor scoring opportunities will be at a premium for russians in new zealand therefore the goalkeepers must try to capitalize on every opportunity to score two or three points with the boot of us just a taste of what the russians can look to expect when the rugby world cup gets underway in new zealand us. so got plenty of work to do at the promises to be the biggest tournament of their rugby playing careers however there have been some plus points despite these heavy defeats in particular russia's banks have looked very dangerous when given the time and space when running from deeds as can be seen from this wonderful try very much to score in newport hello very disruptive affords to try

and win football for the banks in order to give them a better attacking platform russia will have been training for one hundred days by the time the rugby world cup gets underway and a lot of effort has been put into the team's fitness first match of a campaign is going to be usain the new plymouth on september fifteenth the two teams have already played each other in the churchill cup in june with the states coming out on top by seven points however given the huge chance favre faced during their tour of the u.k. the russians will be targeting bank game as big game to win which of them both lead on to new paltz wales. that's all small schools i think. discover is abusing.
