leaves four million people without power along the u.s. eastern seaboard as it slams into new york bringing high winds and heavy downpours amid a trail of destruction it's also playing at least fifteen lives. now italy has been one of the major players in the nato led military interventions including in afghanistan and libya well next starkey talks to the editor in chief of italy's prominent news magazine about the country's role in these conflicts who says economic interests are a big factor with italian politicians that interviews next. 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 but now u.s. diplomatic cables uncovered by italian less 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

jennifer thank you very much for joining us you'll make a scene and cover these diplomatic cables here these cables go. down so what was going on in afghanistan we have the. source to tell intelligence about this by unmanned be made by the government until. nine. do we can. leave as a confirmation because according to these files bush personally president bush was asking berlusconi our first 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 that the was not by meant why we can exclude the

boers now or give us the evidence that the taliban government was paying some tribes the taliban's in afghanistan ok so let's talk a bit more about what happened in two thousand and eight when these allegations first came out the response from the italian government are true there was no response you have to feel that every finger about afghanistan he need is a. question because of the we never say that italian troops are in afghanistan for war we always saw it. the parliament that is 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 italian 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 are doing can't 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 forth as crash of the south in afghanistan manti's 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. secret service were just two hours. of quiet saying ok italian troops are going to stay here for six months we don't care what they are 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. it 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 not sure for the. in the rest of all the big italian factories in libya actually it's the libyan government. of ukraine which is the biggest bank a in the past they all have and even today they own a small amount of the share it's. very important for our economy and so that's a different question i mean. 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 that people are sol does not be made by the fall it's a spam from the east or the fault is. more link at the retail and government forces coming from the west which seems more link at the with british government i mean you need to have a scene in the. situation in libya even with even now as like a big chess between italy and france. to reach the

core of all or any field some of the gas fields in libya libya is a question we. we fall to that french great retain way 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. government mostly the italian be good. and he was got strong links seen the county envoy has got there he is. foreign affairs. the path mental which is very very strong i think that and he was playing good in the last part of the secret libyan

war but we will see at the end what you mean by that secretly and what was going in. the. game or chariots between different tribes different group of rebels the front of the former gadhafi government now we have some very important members of the government who use to withdraw the use to talk who free. it is and italian economical groups but 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 know you described as happening live is a chess game if issue reasons the nato mission in libya was humanitarian reasons i mean realistically i mean how much of it does come down to political games on monetary and the libyan mission as in when a play in question is a nonsense because the reason of the mission was to protect. that population and so when yesterday there was the red bell back to me while the nato mission got to do to stop the rebels. need to protect the people living in tripoli i mean you money on a mission was just a diplomatic mission for a different interest. i don't think it was and that i mean you have

scandinavia what is bandy a vast majority wouldn't have a clue however the game is very simple it's just like field hockey played on ice and may not be as big as football and ice hockey the bandys still has a strong following in russia and sweden and one of the biggest stars around is mikhail sufficient of there's a household name in both these nations has been a big week for the russian captain as he rejoined his beloved denominate sco colonies the swedish league this is a bonus and i believe it is more fun to watch band in russia as the game is a lot quicker and there is more emphasis on attack in sweden the game is more tactically based and it defensively orientated though they are very good at this fund is big business in russia but a sport is played professionally crowds 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 here the 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 of bandy firstly it's not for lympics sport which means it's difficult for associations in countries where the sport isn't as popular to get state funding also of it's a very fast and exciting game to watch when understands 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 are the most vessels that we need to try to spread the game more globally and play tournament's in 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 got 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 structures was minus thirty however for hard fans of sports in russia and sweden not even such a cold is able to put them all fear favorite pastime which will flee don't see moscow. and that's all this fall for a moment say soon for the weather update coming up shortly after this. hungry for the full story we've got it first the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers on the.
