peacekeeping. you assert forces over to fields bugbear fields a little more the deflate tell you the correct world war since the former soviet planes north of the capital has grown into a small city it'll be over twenty five thousand full time person. fleets of military hardware quick enough vehicles to cause traffic jams in the expansion is no way it is by scores of colored tractors u.s. military engineers are constructing new housing and storage facilities to make room for even more bidding war where after sending an extra thirty thousand troops to afghanistan last year president obama started bringing them home this summer but with afghan forces struggling to stand alone it's likely a bit less will even plant and bases like this one are going to shrink anytime soon . at least there are plenty of home comforts for soldiers staying on for tough you know deployments you can shop for everything from flat screen t.v.'s to fine jewelry enjoy a cappuccino and grab some take out

a new piece not for insurance and if i'm tired of working out in the gym you're free to go to the salon for a haircut and such although some officials have tried to limit since for many of these calling them a distraction from the war the troops are happy to have them and these are extremely obvious choice leave you to leave us where you can have a case. right. local afghan merchants are also glad to have the extra business before inside and outside the wire without agreement the soldiers my business would be nothing we like having them here but not everyone agrees diddly teledyne rocket attacks are on the rise and as the base becomes more and more crowded and threat to those living inside multiplies no matter how high it's almost become everyone it's a close call you this can just get just what you put in first know it's all in the one tight spot get close it's going to destroy something or someone easy as it may be to forget it times this is still a war zone jason motherlode embark for are today. well general john allen one

of the military's top brass says u.s. troops will still be in the country even after the twenty four thousand pull out that had been announced by nato and the white house ruthless insurgent attacks have been increasing in recent months with several high profile i fascinations and shoot outs in the heart of the capital kabul and million casualties are also on the rise u.s. led campaign in afghanistan failed to meet most of its original goals because according to argues military contributor there is shifting as the war drags on. the initial intent was crystal clear to catch or kill osama bin laden no strings attached period but from the outset of the operation has gotten the wrong turn and today ten years later it's painfully obvious that it has to gain aerated into their mission creep be very open ended commitment and no graceful exit in

sight for the united states forces or peace and security for the afghan people w. bush administration. has ignored the key principle keep it simple stupid advocated by the u.s. special operations command and undermined. their efforts in their pay to stay any afghan. tribal belt. otherwise. today we would have celebrated the tenth anniversary of the mission accomplished. it was artie's military contributor there colonel ugandan herself with his assessment of the war's progress from the afghan capital. to a touch of american. target. this to. a

ship the food to you. less movement. on a mission to bring peace and stability to the war. but ten years known as it only left him more dangerous. the echo of occupy wall street protests have reached the american capital attending the movement's message crowds march through downtown washington d.c. demonstrations started as a simple sit in front of the new york stock exchange but quickly gained support all over the country for rallies in chicago boston san francisco and los angeles activists say they're found out with breaking our backs at work while bonuses flow into the pockets. of street bankers on wednesday police used pepper spray and homes to disperse tens of thousands of people want our manhattan wall street but as the editor of a finance online magazine told us from san francisco not even the harvey police

response will stop those people from pushing forward with their agenda. one thing that protesters that i've interviewed here at occupy san francisco as you mention is that nationwide group they have mentioned is that police over response is actually very good for their so-called public relations outreach you know when the police when these images of police pepper spraying women right in their faces or arresting hundreds of people on the brooklyn bridge i think that inspired a lot more people to go down and actually join the group and so ironically it does it does perhaps advance the protesters i've seen a lot of people with a great deal of results it's also important to understand that there's a lot of different kinds of people at these protests i think that there is a hard work group of very dedicated activists who are seeing this as a long term movement there that they're not going to give up there are certainly

people who are coming in for a day or two i think that there are you know their dedication may be maybe less or less strong but the protesters i talked to are not going anywhere soon and some of them are extremely poor and have no other prospects i mean i've talked to people who say look. it doesn't matter the police arrest me tonight. oh across the atlantic there are global financial troubles in the u.k. as it becomes the latest nation to feel depends ratings giant moody's has downgraded twelve of britain's financial firms and banks including the royal bank of scotland and lloyds t.s.b. that comes after the bank of england's chief the country's economy is that its lowest point since one thousand nine hundred thirty s. if not ever well let's get some more on this development from british your m.p. godfrey bloom who joins us live thanks for being with us banks and even countries like the us italy have suffered. these credit down rates recent downgrades actually

recently but people are always quick to deny there's anything to worry about what do these downgrades actually mean how do they have a real impact well the problem that we have of course that these. and these economies of broke and it's the problem of. politicians and central banks spending all it's officially depressing interest rates creating a credit boom and that always creates a bust whenever you have a boom you always end up with a bust and of course the problem that we have now is that the chickens are coming home to roost you cannot continue and the government or a bank or anybody else spend more money than they raise in taxation and this is why it's all going wrong and we haven't seen anything yet this is going to get significantly worse and we're hearing just put into the context of optimism britain's chancellor of the exchequer george osborne believes british banks are

strong enough and the government is just taking steps to avoid taxpayers having to bail them out again do you think that's the real case. well no what he's doing is artificially creating money he's inventing money electronically out of ups. it's called quantitative easing but actually it's counterfeiting money it's tombs of failure it always fails it's failed in the cos it's never been successful if it was successful why doesn't he give money printing machines to every family in the united kingdom that they could put in their attic and print money whenever they want to go and buy something but i've never heard it in quite so absurd pull the titians in academics could possibly come up with something something quite so ludicrous. let's turn to the bank of england and their latest statement if i may it's he believes the economy is slowing down much faster and previously thought what exactly is stifling brains growth. well we have still far too much

public spending the chancellor of the talks about cuts but of course he hasn't made any cuts in the last twelve months the public pouring requirement for the united kingdom is actually going up not down so whatever you'll see in your high street or your local council doesn't actually reflect what's really happening so government borrowing is actually going up and there are too many people still in the public sector the wealth creating sector is the private sector and we still have fall too many people in the public sector who want creating wealth we have to get back to sound money and we have to get back to sound money very soon the equivalent to what the child is actually doing a match and a man will stop on a shore on a deserted island. because there's nothing else to it nothing else to eat. that's happening is it's a created money to buy their own debt it's actually in any other walk of life it

would be illegal if you go to prison for it right you said you called quantity of easing our counterfeiting money but on thursday to bank of england announced i cast in jackson a hundred billion dollars into the british economy who benefits from that who actually sees that cast. it props up the banks religion bit longer but it doesn't do much else ordinary people don't get it. and what it does actually has a terrible effect although it degrades the current c. currency pound a medium of exchange you know flooding the market with them isn't going to actually help the economy of toll and of course it depresses truly interest rates which means old people pensions people on fixed income old suffer from this quantitative easing on the course further down the road it must end inflation you can't suddenly manufacture in the last two years which these people have done to a hall of two hundred fifty billion pounds without it ending in inflation down the

road it's bound to do and this is exactly what happened in the republic in germany in the jean twenge is right godfrey bloom british your m.p. thanks for being on the line with us live from the u.k. . it's thirteen minutes past the hour still ahead a battle for libya and i could find her launch a major assault on the colonel's hometown of syria nato's humanitarian bombing campaign in the country raises concerns for the civilians it claims to be attacking . russian prosecutors are set to hand out fresh charges to key suspects in the murder of a prominent journalist. five years ago she was gunned down in her apartment block in moscow while the case is drawn worldwide attention no one has yet been convicted for the murder party's company not actually been met but of course because family who still wait to see justice done. for police who worked on this day five years

ago it was a murder of a woman huffily through their ship had a round four pm for a better political it was hard way through her pregnancy when she got a call her mother had been shelled out side her apartment it was a watershed moment and there is a life before and after. when you might see you i was well aware what kind of journalism my mother was into she would ok janelle you see something happens to me documents are the money's here here are all the numbers to call but we never really took it seriously i was four months pregnant a family was full of and my mother promised that after her first grandchild was born she would stop going to church now and take up quite such a noise to work. but quiet journalistic work is not something you would associate on a political scale when she investigated corrupt security officials and exposed to human

rights violations she helped people when there are cases in the highest courts in russia and in strasbourg but the irony is that five years later your own murder still remains unpunished but. there have been different periods in the process of busy went and people were arrested almost simultaneously in two thousand and seven and passive when nothing was happening however the bands of recent months give us certain optimism for a successful ending successful in terms of finding the mastermind of the murder i can tell you if the investigation was as active five years ago as it is now this time would have had more evidence on your. twenty eleven has indeed been a turning point in may prosecutors named a man who is believed to have pulled the trigger. mood or was arrested in chechnya after years on the run in belgium and shortly afterwards investigators announced they were closed just solving one of the most high profile slayings in recent

russian memory. a former high ranking police official that dimitri copy a chunk of it was a middle man for money agreed to organize a criminal consisting of four people so cardio your source in addition he kept tabs and. provided the perpetrator with a gun and would organize other members of the group we also have other information about the alleged mastermind of the killing but it's too premature to release that information. not with. another guy as yet aware are not fully cosco worked up until her death has been carrying out its own investigation into the journalist's murder and use papers that beauty editor says it's good that interest in the case is so high both in russia and the brought but it's bad when it turns into pressure on prosecutors for tomorrow. before we still believed. for people who. are framed. in two thousand and nine would you were in some way linked to this murder

but you cannot. for the record it was a lack of solid evidence presented in court and always happens because there was a public pressure on the prosecution to rush to judgment we think since you think their arrangements were too premature. because. the russian supreme court's the knowledge of two thousand and nine and reopening of the investigation it's a significant part of the journey but it's certainly not the end one of the biggest challenges for investigators of these coins is to find other suspects who are now on the run outside the country but just like on the political scale herself her family and colleagues will never give up as they strive to find the truth it takes very little to describe someone's death in case on the political just the dozen words on a piece of stone but these journalists life and sure a legacy but not a fetus and a forty by forty marble plates it seems like their children are teen. libya

fighters are launching a final attack on colonel gadhafi is home town of syria hundreds of vehicles are pouring into the outskirts of the city of pounded with heavy shelling so thousands of civilians have left many more are thought to have remained it's all comes after colonel gadhafi in an audio message virtually begins to resist the interim leaders the civil war which has claimed problems of arrives was joined by nato under a u.n. mandate to protect civilians but as the arab boyer's association president told r.t. the mounting death toll proves nato is intentions were not peaceful. you have to remember the resolution of the u.n. was in fact only confined to no fly zones to imposing a no fly zones it was there to protect civilians at the end of the day we end up with nato actually going to war against the people who are libya obviously

a dictatorship which if prevails there is no reason to declare war on the people off libya by need to i think the usa britain france and the western powers are hiding now behind nato so that no one can point a finger but the figures of the casualties caused by nato bombing is really mounting i think nato is continuing its what i guess that if you have people want to be that they got rid of the big data ship but we seem to be heading for the same exercise they have done in iraq and i think russia was right in taking the position of the syria because we don't want better people form a swear by the un took the position in iraq and then took the position in libya the u. n. is not there to change regimes it may provide humanitarian purposes it might protect civilians it might stop wars but it is definitely not to change regimes.

president medvedev has again stated that russia will not support any u.n. resolution to impose sanctions on syria he said it's not up to the u.n. to decide the political course of a country a country should follow and for more on this latest statement we're now trying live by art you know your place you know you weren't just reading a variable rate russian forces and on syria very clear tell us more something. if you are just in case he's near me president read of course making any reason to date men on russia's position on syria give us some more details. as i apologize for the technical difficulties the president has explained back to russia strongly is against the ongoing violence in syria it also supports the idea that the country is in desperate need of democratic reform and also things that if the current of tories will not able to create this change then they would have to go but it's

a good thing we did have stressed that this would have to be a result of the syrian people's choice and not the result of some foreign military intervention intervention similar to how the imbalance of power unfolding truly in libya and since the year one draft resolution on syria backed by the west did not exclude the chances of foreign military intervention russia had to walk it. after the results of the resolutions alters didn't take our concerns into account and worse they were trying to see proposal to station there would be no external military interference in the conflict this means only one thing our partners in the u.n. security council did not rule out a replay of the libyan scenario although they said more than once that they clearly understood syria is very different to libya and russia will continue resisting attempts to legitimize unilateral sanctions through the u.n. security council the danger overthrow political regimes the u.n. was not created for that. just. meanwhile the violence in syria continues according

to the way the latest figures coming out of the e.u. was released three thousand people have been killed throughout the course what's the worst says that you will continue applying pressure on the sea in your stories while russia hopes that the country will be able to conduct peaceful democratic reforms on its own. right are to easy work is going on thank you very much for that update. but there's much more on all or stories at r.t. dot com for you including addicted to crimea russia considers jailing drug users to curb the number of dark comic driven felonies r t reports online for you. and lost in translation a russian flash mob on twitter celebrating prime minister putin's birthday i've thrown the online community into a state of confusion don't see for yourself are. a look now at some world news in brief for you this hour this year's nobel peace

to be less dependent on the oil and gas sectors so policy priority to emphasize whole other industries in particular the manufacturing sector a return to competitiveness through exports and so forth russia has plenty of access to technology educated labor force all the regions necessary to relaunch its manufacturing sector like all other advanced economies so the first very second we think that russia might want to continue emphasizing stronger people public finances the government has set a target of four point seven percent oil deficit that is a very valid target which would make the russian economy a lot more resilient you know if you. try let's move to markets and the situation has changed dramatically over the past hour boyle is now back up light sweet up eighty three dollars to twenty eight cents right now brant is up twenty two cents at almost one hundred sixteen dollars per barrel now the reason for this is the
