hurricane irene is now john graded to a tropical storm but leaves over three million people without power along the west instead seaboard as it slams into new york. and rapidly rising sea levels. well italy has been one of the major players in nato led military interventions including afghanistan and now libya next starts he talks to the editor in chief of one of italy's italy's prominent news magazines about the country's role in these conflicts who says economic interests are a big factor with italian politicians. allegations of italian forces paying bribes to the taliban first appeared in the media in t. thousand and nine a place that was furiously denied by rain but now u.s. diplomatic cables uncovered by telling us press a magazine reveal that concerns aided the alleged payments reached the highest levels of the us administration we're joined now by the editor of the magazine

jenny could thank you very much for joining us say you like a scene uncover these diplomatic cables here these cables go. down so what was going on in afghanistan we have a. source to tell intelligence about this by unmanned be made by the government until. nine. do we can. give us a confirmation because according to these files bush personally president bush who was. corny as minister to stop by a man in afghanistan when the. publisher of some allegation all of the ten out of these of the member of the government of the defense minister. the buscombe person won't deny that they said the was not by meant why we can excuse wars now or

give us the evidence that the taliban government was paying some. of 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 true there was no response you have to feel that everything about afghanistan he need is a. question because of the we never say that italian troops are in afghanistan for war we always say to the parliament that the. it's a peace mission and so everything about afghanistan is covered by a secret state secret military secret and most of all this information all the evidence about what intel and troops do every day in afghanistan fighting. what all the troops do in afghanistan in italy is the night of the eleventh why did

the italian forces take this approach towards easing. it's a traditional way i mean all the forces doing. 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 breed from the regular four as crash of the south from afghanistan mantis was full of money there was this man a bearing with the cash money dollar left and they were used to try. to. many sources including these files italian secret service who were just two hours. of quiet say ok italian troops are going to stay here for six months we don't care what they are going in

the 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 italy's involvement in libya the name in . public opinion in libya is a different question because libya is. is a big economic call affair for italy. traditionally leaned over it italy for. us for nature or for the interest of. all the italian factories in libya. the libyan government. that you created which is that i am because bank a in the past they even today they own as small amount of fear it's. very important for our economy and so that's a different question when. we have we have the side the telegram

and the side of the bell seen in benghazi because there was a big economic interests and their concerns now that we could possibly see a very disorganized group of rebels coming in and maybe a similar situation to be seen in iraq where this organization plays out this is a big. speech really because of the actually the people are solved as not being made by forces coming from the east the falses. more link at the really tight end government but the forces coming from the west which seems more link at the with british government i mean in italy we have a similar. situation in libya even with even now as like a big chess between italy and france. to reach the

core of all the fields on the gas fields in libya libya is a big question we. we fall to that french great retain where using red belts to. c.l. italian assets in libya that's was the biggest fear of anything and you think that's the case i don't know we would see at the end of the game actually the game is going on and so. governament mostly the italian be good. and he was going strong leaving see the county envoy has got the he's. for an affair. part mental 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 gene but secretly what was going

in. the. game or chariots between different tribes different group of rebels if a member of the former gadhafi government now we have some very important members of the government who used to withdraw or use. who free. it is and 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 with them nor will really control the. gas lines. pipelines

this is the most important question for you to describe what's happening live is a chess game if issue reasons the nato mission in libya was humanitarian reasons. and how much of it does come down to political games on monetary and the libyan mission as in when a player in question is a nonsense because the reason of the mission was to protect. the population and. when yesterday there was the way back up back the walls. while the nato mission got to do to stop the rebels up that can mean people need to put. people living in tripoli i mean you money stab enemies from the walls just a diplomatic cold of a mission for a different interest. i don't think it was and that they i mean you have

just made up about that one that. is keeping her from need be. given for leave. having problems with. the way the sea the. ships were not in them. because you know sixteen years old when he committed these moms that's not to say that song so it should not be punished for his crimes sean is being punished no rational person can deny sean has been punished is being punished and will be punished. sours must be executed for the brutal crime he committed this is a punch and this is not. to mention.

the spirit of the swedish league. and i believe it is more fun to watch the in russia as the game is a lot quicker and there is more emphasis on the town in sweden the game is more tactically based and it will defensively orientated though they are very good at this sunday's big business in russia where the sport is played professionally. for international matches can be upwards of thirty thousand players can expect to earn over one hundred thousand dollars a year whereas in sweden a monthly salary is in the region of just two to three thousand euros meaning many of the players have to take up second jobs. standard of bandy is increasing all the time being crease in salaries also helps but there are a number of other factors which are making the sport better and more and more popular in the likes of russia in sweden there are a number of factors limiting the development to bandy firstly it's not the lympics sport which means it's difficult for associations in countries where the sport

isn't as popular to get state funding also averts a very fast and exciting game to watch when in the stands the sheer speed of the game isn't suit t.v. the whole can be difficult to see as can sometimes be the case and field hockey at the met. the rationals are we need to try to spread the game more globally and play tournament scene countries where the game isn't as developed over the big championships take place in russia and sweden we should try to play more in countries like finland norway and even in north america people read about the game in magazines however it's only when they see burned on t.v. that they can understand what the sport is all about because it's great ice palace is one of the top funny stadiums around the world and watching indoors can be of great benefit in the winter when temperatures outdoors dropped as well as minus thirteen however for hard fans of sports in russia and sweden not even such a cold is able to put them all fair favorite past time. don't see moscow.
