surprise package he she abusing. me i think it's wonderful that russia has made it through is the first time the guys the world cup was really important as a world cup that we have you know that the smaller nations we haven't got the money the big and i since i've got there we get one of those tame stories of the quarter finals at least and when you look through the polls them and the you know you look at some hour and i think what we saw against australia give it a bit of time give it a bit of my together. they can develop into a team that could potentially upset one of the top six teams in the world and i did the biggest rather commit suicide you know that some attain that could could really since toward a much larger as i did a ninety ninety one. now russia prepares to host the twenty fourteen winter olympics in sochi as the football world cup four years later on your forum has been held in southern russia to promote healthy lifestyles and international cooperation in sport star athlete sounds top officials have it for the third year running the

waters from a traditional team to the country next fight martin for the get more yanick that was the big attraction at the event. in the second train jerome valcke was like it is working as it sounds she's getting to become one of the cities to host the twenty eighteen all cup you crowned world athletics champions were also on hand with walking breaks all that can be free in glowing terms the idea that stood still in the park and i think events like this are really helpful because those people pretty surprising can share their knowledge and experience and famous athletes also come to meetings like this so you can see them in person rather than on the t.v. or magazine covers and people can take photos connect autographs and also learn a thing or two from us. and finally while russia ranks qualify for next summer's european football championships there won't be a single russian referee at the tournament due to a lack of trying to functionals so one of the game's most respected referees read

both of us that he has been brought in to raise standards before russia hosts the world cup in twenty eighteen suspect exclusively tsotsi. these are three important. for the performers and the peach to study and allies to make a seizure also for rush right after this for the future eight thousand and eighteen is big data for you for. a quarter for people so this is good this is. an exciting and not easy chair mantra. the big problem is not the beach. the problem is outside the pitch because the

credibility in this moment about half of this is not so i is not good. and c.z. integrity is the first point for a referee. it's normal to get the referee must be a mother yes and there but that. we cannot only just pick. i am not a policeman of course i am only for africa department i want absolute i can i can understand the mistake in the future i cannot understand mistakes outside of the page this is clear. modern our press must be professional like they are. they must be very clear in. the way they must be fit because their full moon is very quickly

and the effort is must be like players and be more prepared than players. of course of this is a to get because we need. also for europe and the. british of course we started this job we are in contact with wherever we are in contact and we know very well that we must involve our. performance in the nation. to be a referee it's not like there. is a style of life i own with my life i was a half right now i am afraid i feel i am i have saw this is very wrong because of this is previous is good in order. to be self-criticism in our life i

suggest to all the young boys and russia to have the support of course that we have to make the scene for us. and this is important and in this manner you can be better in the future. and that's all the sport for this evening after five. the. question is that so much i can tell if i use one of the models there's taliban bad guys in nine eleven ten what has been accomplished what has been lost as america's so-called war on terror and maybe us in the world a safer place and what. on

r.t. tonight as libyan rebels prepared to storm some of the last few strongholds people in tripoli take no comfort from the new rulers and fears about. triumph and cry. a desperate spot the u.k.'s national riots because if you are session is held people are still questioning whether he was a victim of police brutality. also tonight. you don't know where it is even if we don't know so it's because because we reform or believe or heard about it because of the work as america's decade long war in afghanistan winds down many of those punished for the atrocities of september the eleventh two thousand and one still unaware of what nine eleven was.

welcome this is our t. it's just tough for eleven pm now you're a mosque oh my name's kevin owen and first fighting continues in libya as rebel forces prepare to storm to the remaining strongholds held by pro get out the forces loyalists holed up in the towns of sorts and bani walid have been given. until saturday to surrender however they vowed to resist despite that deadline colonel gadhafi himself earlier released an audio message claiming he hasn't fled and will never flee his homeland despite reports his supporters of crossed the border into neighboring the country's capital tripoli fell the rebels last month but there's still no sign of life improving there as artie's maria for national reports is just as much fear on the streets now as there is joy of victory.

a city celebrates for more than ten days the libyan capital has been reached joisting in the dictator's fall where. he wanted to bring his quarter here in the central square for his rule for the second anniversary we put our flag and we won we're so happy without him. it seems in the last two weeks rebel fighters have fired it's a clear shot here in this small town tripoli earlier in august. the leave you feel you know very very well with. this third if we can it is good duffy's victory tour he told older people love me would that be the wrong that we know you would see that love him. as well of freedom as we don't really get that began with an iraqi with a lawyer. but away from jubilant crowds we meet stereo's who are not so pleased.

man lives in tripoli is obviously in district historically pro khadafi but the rebels arrived his sister was badly injured she's still in hospital in tunisia. other hand doesn't want to show his face on camera and ceased but i had no location for the interview he says revolution has brought much fear in its wake. there is no peace there is no safety in the city we don't let our children outside when it's dark we are afraid we always wait for something bad when gadhafi was here at least we didn't have to sleep awake what you do known. mine says he also wanted change and the brighter future for his country but not base way. people are dying on both sides the cities destroyed and no one cares do they seriously think that it changed it for the better don't lie to yourself just look around is that what you wanted. and what is around is a scene of widespread destruction and social chaos the badly damaged buildings

matched by the rise in stink of garbage and decomposing bodies armed youngsters roam the streets barely old enough to understand that what they carry are west friends not toys many shops schools and hospitals are closed while the city's symmetries growing bigger and bigger. shortly after tripoli fall into rebel hands the national transitional council libya's new authority claims it was moving here from benghazi two weeks have passed and there is still no sign of its presence on the ground zero all day being restored the city functioning by south and treading a fine line between freedom and allocate. rich national r t tripoli libya. just ahead tonight a repeat of libya was not on folded syria was still refuses to take sides over the

last crusade of peace through bloodshed presently and is calling on both the rebels and the regime from a different turn to dialogue with peter. also the world why so few community grieves the loss of a locomotive team with many international stars after a white plane crash in russia's city of girls this week. the funerals were held in london for the man whose death triggered a wave of violent riots across the u.k. father of four mark duggan was shot during a police operation back in august. reports. london is in mourning today as the funeral of mark tate place you will remember was called to this area. recently by marksman at the beginning of august that sparked riots which still sit here in the green top area spreads to other parts of london and then eventually to the rest of the country leading to

a large amount of civil unrest which the government and police are still reeling from the funerals being attended by around about a thousand people far too many to fit inside the small church and interesting the police presence here today is incredibly low key see any there are hardly any police here all dressed in their normal uniforms no riot gear. no aggressive policing whatsoever and this is a community that has a deep mistrust of the police which is only been intensified by the shooting of mark duggan there is an inquiry underway into what happened to cause his death but there have been no results. and the funeral is an important turning point people are still asking what actually happens people in this community are also asking where is the mini cab driver who was supposed to have been driving at mr duncan at the time when he was shot he hasn't appeared in the public eye or two people here are not sure whether he's even being questioned by police there is quite a tense atmosphere here people are worried about be effective at police in their

community they're also not particularly welcoming to the media given a little bit of a hard time when we went to the states where mr khan and his family lived but the funeral is taking place is very very very respectful affair and that's how the community here want to keep it but they still have questions that need answering about what happened to mr duncan why was he shot by police marksman what were the events that led up to his death and there's the questions which so far have nuances . it was the world that. still leaves. the repercussions of nine eleven is still being felt in the form of the war on terror and yet it's out of reports for or it seems for the majority of the people who felt the full force of the world here in the aftermath of the attacks none of it's just another. helmand in southern afghanistan is the province this borne the brunt of the fighting between the taliban and coalition forces but what afghans in this war

province think about nine eleven and its consequences. while on patrol with the marines i get a first opportunity to ask a couple of young afghan men what they know about nine eleven but those who are going to war with us look here. never heard of. us they know where it is we don't know so that's because because we are former we never heard about the need for the world to guard more suck up. to young men and clearly never heard of nine eleven. but maybe the elders of the local sure would have more to say. no you see in. this ng i just can see the smoke from the buildings in the safe as we think you can see it when you get your this picture. i think i was a cop but if i just got here i would be surprised but having been here now for six months i'm not this is very much the stone ages where we are more with the other reactions i saw the guy who said it was kabul was never been

a couple of shows you how i slid or even our own country got to come on the understanding of. how you were going to get out of the america afghanistan camp at this point and to get the airplane from here to attack in the united states you know how that much. thought it was nice to go from iraq to here is a lot easier to understand why you're here in d.c. a definition goes to picture yourself is. this particular you for mccain right. if you're. going to make and saying we're going to help you there just one building industry asked how many funding and this we're going to have to worry the have not come within this ng to give it to our kids. fighting and they do it for their own kids in a paper that i don't agree that. i do sympathize or understand what some are saying is even just from the weather we've had recently people losing their homes and

nobody see a helpful so you know when you when you can't feed yourself there's a good house yourself are you care about somebody your six thousand miles away as far as i can understand this is over the top if you've never thought to outsource questions of anybody here that's why we're here amazingly in a country where for ten years a war has been for with nine eleven as its root cause and justification it turns out not only were the villagers oblivious to nine eleven but there were the afghan police and even some of the translators working with the u.s. military to go this far you and i will be able to see if you will see this is. a survey taken in twenty ten by the international council on security and development found that ninety two percent of afghan men in helmand and other afghan provinces had no idea what nine eleven was and with american troops that start withdrawing this year it seems likely that they will leave afghanistan without the vast majority of afghans never having really understood why they came in the first

place adam put from afghanistan fourteen no it's played out of back his show is from the anti war and so coalition is live on the line from washington d.c. very good evening brian i mean in that report i watched a video of her hearing that many people have ninety two percent and no idea why war arrived at their own door but let's put the shoe on the other foot this time they're surrounded by the americans themselves really understand also for why their country is in afghanistan. well i think increasingly the answer would be no the recent polls here show that sixty five percent two thirds of the country oppose the war in afghanistan they don't know why they're there why the u.s. is there they don't know what victory means and they favor ending the war the war of course cost the american taxpayers one hundred twelve two hundred twenty billion dollars not to mention the reasons of american young people soldiers who are either killed or wounded or are suffering psychological or emotional injuries that are

life changing and of course as we know the tens of thousands of afghans i would say the american people who originally bought the position that this was a war to stop another september eleventh they have no longer believe that position they now believe that it's a war for something else still define for the broad public and generally not supportive of it with his utterances from the white house is that they'll be more violence in both iraq and afghanistan after the u.s. troops withdraw is that just an attempt i think to justify the war that many say should have taken place in the first place. well of course i mean we know that the bush administration wants the war in iraq for instance on a completely false pretext the war on terror in fact has become a slogan it will be ultimately known to him in history as the ultimate pretext to do whatever the us government wants but in the case of iraq they invaded iraq hundreds of thousands died millions were made into refugees a beautiful country was torn apart and and divided along ethnic sectarian lines and

iraq had nothing at all to do with september eleventh and yet the american forces are going to stay in iraq because the obama administration not bush but obama is insisting that the iraqis take more likewise in afghanistan we have thousands of troops who are going to be in afghanistan for decades because this is part of a grand scheme to keep these countries under u.s. control as part of a us americans for your of influence well as you say that just to underline reach saying you're right president. additionally value to end combat operations in iraq now is changing his tune as you say this and the country could need a backup force in the future but of course with thinking about libya to the new war all the president who came to power amid hopes around the world and in your country that there would be a less confrontational america what's gone wrong. well indeed i think when bush left on january twentieth two thousand and nine tenths of millions of americans thought not only was bush leaving but the bush era was ending and yet we see guantanamo is still open the torture center is according to the u.n.

that the that the occupation forces in iraq are being continued under obama that the number of troops the american troops doubled and trebled in afghanistan that there was a war in libya thousands have died because of increasing drone attacks in pakistan so what we see is the institutionalization of everything that started before september eleventh but it celebrated the tendency towards militarism towards war towards occupation towards intervention towards torture black hole prisons rendition all of that has become institutionalized in spite of whoever is in the white house and i think it doesn't matter now if it's a democrat or republican just taking a breath just taking a boat as we come up the very somber anniversary of the tenth anniversary of nine eleven if god forbid most of the reason there was another attack on u.s. soil do you think washington would respond differently these days given the very questionable results of its campaigns over the last ten years. no i don't

think so i think that as i mentioned i think there has become an institutionalized response in spite of whoever the president is the institutions that were established by the bush administration are now the institutions of the united states i lived right by the world trade center we had friends there we had friends who died there we know personally and collectively in new york city what their tragedy was but the new york people the people of new york city in the people of the america they do not want this terrible tragedy and september eleventh which we are remembering ten years out to become the pretax for a transformation of the united states into an empire where civil rights and civil liberties are reavis aerated not just for a few but for all and that unfortunately has become the living legacy of september eleventh brought back from the antiwar oncet coalition thanks for being on the line in our team tonight. russia will send a fact finding mission to syria to get firsthand information about the situation

there the decision was announced by the country's presidential envoy to africa margelov following his meeting with a delegation of syrian opposition leaders here in moscow they blame president bashar al assad for the political deadlock in syria saying he's making the same fatal mistakes as libya's in battle neither colonel gadhafi must go though promises to do its level best to of bird a libyan scenario in syria telling both sides of a conflict that it's time to move on from the battlefield now to the negotiating table present the bed of make that position very clear in this latest interview. with. the resolutions we will prove to send a strong message to the syrian regime should in fact be addressed to both sides things are just black and white and the anti-government protesters in syria are not followers of some refined european models of democracy some of them are to put it straight extremists and some might even be called terrorists the situation is not that simple and we have to take into account the balance of different forces and interests russia may support certain moves but only if they don't boil down to the

one sided condemnation of the government of president assad we should send a strong message calling all all the conflicting parties to come to the negotiating table start talks and stop the bloodshed. if you like the more of president is interview it's in full on our website altidore kong of course what if they can also find more opinion and also the timeline we put together there for you of the syrian uprising. world's ice hockey community remains in mourning tonight with the last saval mostly entire lokomotiv team after their plane crashed here in russia on wednesday forty three people died when the forty two crashed on takeoff in the city of jaroslav all people also gathered in prague to remember three czech nationals who were among the many top players killed hundreds have been laying flowers and chanting the names of the former world champions in their memory candles have also been lit in the bratislava hockey stadium to remember the ones with guy the coach of the for viking national team who used to train locomotives
