all financial ties with iran in the wake of a un atomic watchdog report casting tells on the motives behind its nuclear aims to run it's a surprise for us and also announces plans for further sanctions against iran's economy. to preserve statement about another summary of news for you in about fifteen astronomy time an american counterterrorism expert explains to r.t. wright he thinks the u.s. is stoking the war on terror especially to be next. america's war on terror is been going on for ten years now there seems to be no end in sight some experts think terrorists are actually winning that work i'm joined by color terrorism expert david garnsey ross the man who wrote a book titled bin laden's legacy why we're still losing the war on terror why with the great thing i mean your whole book is about it just give us some key points

about why you think the u.s. is losing the war on terror i think the main thing to look at is the u.s. is capacity to stop terrorist attacks as well as its resilience in the face of an attack compared with the enemies of bill you to strike the problem isn't that our qaeda has become more potent it's not clear that our code has been significantly weakened but it's not clear it's become more potent the problem is that the united states has been significantly eroded over the course of the past decade the economy is of course in shambles with the massive national debt now not all of that is make any means attributable to the fight against al qaeda but more of it is that a lot of people realize including the massive cost of the iraq war the way that the instability that was spurred by that helped to drive up the oil prices upstroke the national debt as well as direct budgetary out and opportunity costs the inability after the economy crashed and she does have eight to deliver another stimulus package because a lot of this money already been spent when you look at all of that and when you

look at all credit score of economically by the united states i think the conclusion is not that there are destroyed america but it's a bit more effective in underbody there any music to be done a lot of people would like to believe oh you're saying the terrorists have defined their strategy is bleeding the united states to bankruptcy and they have succeeded this is succeeded in many ways let's talk money a little bit more why do you think the decade long fight against terror has been such a blow for the americans i think that would be the looks. the return on investment it's not a great return on investment a lot of the counterterrorism apparatus and policies have been mistreated not totally i mean i think that doing nothing is also not an option but to give the key error was the war in iraq which resources away from afghanistan gormless amount of money. the u.s. is stepping in the world beyond that counterterrorism apparatus that had been

erected is a very inefficient. there are so many different secret programs so many different cooks in the kitchen it's difficult to have any one individual who can determine that there's not completed effort this also means that not only are offered steve's eighth iraq war but also our defenses are expensive i think this is a design that can be fixed which is exactly what this is a clarion call for that we need to understand the situation that we're in it and move beyond it you know what comes to mind is. this will be union the war in afghanistan has put it so badly back in the eighty's there you know it very much contributed to a lot of things lessons to be learned with this is a lesson that put it to multiple occasions that osama bin laden had been part of the resistance originally as a humanitarian worker in pakistan and then he eventually went to the battlefield and got so caught up by that that he ended up leading

a team of arabs who fought against the soviets inside of afghanistan now they were pretty incidental to the fight there were far more afghans there were arabs and any given point inside of afghanistan fighting the soviets but to this was kind of the parody of how you get a superpower. that the afghan soviet war broke out and. i think it's not entirely clear historically that it did. especially. if it's not entirely clear what kind of impact it has historians have mixed views on this given that you by nine hundred eighty six the afghan war cost about three billion dollars i would want to accept the loss of oil export money as well as green shortages within the soviet union the annual price tag of those far to worth the asking of soviet work but if the afghan war was

a significant contributor it was precisely by grinding it down in that one theater and thus making it an evil for the soviet union to adapt to other crises that if if so i think there are definitely lessons and initial lesson in the first instance because this is precisely how bin laden view display against the united states which means that wouldn't when your enemy is so intent on grinding down your economy one thing you have to do is make sure that you don't fall into that trap and a second lesson is that even if it expenditure isn't a massive part of your budget it can have an impact as i said the impact of the aspects of it where i found to be historically a i further to be a historical question mark but what is indisputable is it certainly didn't help the soviet union and the amount of money that the u.s. has spent over all of the war on terror. even when adjusted for inflation is much more in terms of sheer quantity. the soviet union spends in afghanistan ok listen

to america's other words lines that had nothing to do with nine eleven of course i'm talking about iraq first of all why spend so much money there is a because the us this whole range that it doesn't know how else could spend the money or there for us expect that the wars will eventually pay off i don't think there is an expectation that there'll be a monetary gain from the war so i don't think that these are words of avarice rather i think that the us quite simply underestimated what was going to happen when the. said at the lead up to the iraq war and bearing in mind that there could have been political spin to try to make it more suitable to the public but when one looks at the leader the estimates given for how much it would cost were rather low estimates you would have officials talking about how the reconstruction of iraq could pay for itself if that iraq and so on the market they could fight against the road reconstruction so it is i think that people just didn't.

foresee what ended up happening in terms of this massive insurgency taking hold it's the law of unintended consequences that particularly would you have an enemy in a certain area you have to be wary that whatever action that it taking in other theaters but especially one that could have been attacked by attracting jihadi which was known in advance that that could end up snowballing and end up back there against you and that's what happened in iraq ok let's take another campaign unrelated terrorism does this leave in any way contribute to draining the u.s. economically or is it just the war on terror that they're doing i believe that libya does quite obviously i think actually it's much it in my view as someone who had opposed the libya intervention from the outset i think it's actually much worse because in fighting against terrorism at least you're fighting against people who are trying to destroy the country and to kill american citizens whereas in libya it

was entirely based on humanitarian intervention now there are different views of the liberal humanitarian intervention but i think that given the economic context that we have in an era of severe austerity we need to be very hesitant about undertaking such an operation particularly given as i said before the law of unintended consequences when one looks at the situation in libya prior to the beginning of the nato campaign in my view. there was almost no strategic interest at play because moammar gadhafi was not supporting terrorist groups small market off he was not giving up his weapons of mass destruction program this doesn't mean that i'm. sad to see him go he was a terrible ruler he was a brutal dictator and he certainly would have killed a lot of people. he probably would have killed far more people had dated not started bombing the country but to me one of the sad reality is the twenty first

century is that there will be humanitarian crisis that the international community is powerless to do anything about and you know in six months or a year we'll have a much better idea of how from a strategic interest perspective the intervention in libya has gone you have already concerns that some jihadi may have got their hands on surface to air missiles as part of a kid off u.s. arsenal you have certainly concerns about violent islamists being able to leave prison during the chaos and there's the possibility that could a few loyalists will be able to mount an insurgency all of which you know a year from now could make what's called god look a lot worse in retrospect i hope that doesn't happen but i certainly am concerned and our recent history just really bear out that we're very good at cleaning things up toppling the regime the less is quite clear is always the easy part back to the fight against extremists in your book you suggest ways to build resilience among americans to you know faith into possible that plan. without overreacting can you

spend a little bit on that what ways are you suggesting resilience is particularly important when it serves multiple purposes not just depending it's terrorism but you know we just have to be set by multiple natural disasters including the hurricane and earthquake and the like you one thing i could forward that would help to build resilience is basically incorporating the individual citizens. into how the. community or a state would react to a terrorist attack or to actually sastre there's a community emergency response team model in phoenix arizona that i think is particularly good mr carr this is something that helps citizens to be less afraid and also to feel like if something goes wrong they can play a role i think it's important to build not just resilience in terms of infrastructure but also psychological resilience so that we're not sitting here

afraid of what happens but we understand that if something bad happens we can play a role in fixing it and good terms of helping fellow citizens i think that without going to war without waging wars in other countries well the first of all wars sometimes necessary often not i think that for example in afghanistan. the united states had to dislodge. about regime that was supporting al qaeda giving them sanctuary the iraq war obviously. don't you agree with the word libya so so resilience is not something that you become is the end all and be all but i think it is it's an important part of what we do in the twenty first century because we're not going to guarantee that terrorism can never strike thank you you thank

he trained hard and i'm sure he knew what about the responsibility of the here's a key player and i'm sure with it my mind you think well one man who is in fine form is emmanuel and he can be scored both goals in his size to no victory over local and safe in the last eight of a nigerian sky go instead a hat trick in the last encounter between the two teams also opened this time to spend time after twenty six minutes. and he then doubles his tally with a minute to go before the interval and sunil was how i finished spartak week frogging rather into force in the championship who. told me why i sound like accordions was what proved to be the right man as done last night at the pressure on the top so they to one's own way is the fun igor some shots open for the home side after eighteen minutes of the second and then it's later well just before the hour when i hope i have pulled a goal back for danny to trust his side with

the thirty five year old russian saw the unanimous decision over american geoff nonsense in a heavyweight bout here in moscow and could now be in line for a rematch with the receiver down around cost of reports. the first round action probably made its way two thousand in attendance believe that this fight will and with a knock out any million go taber that is however a battle tested veteran jeff monster who by the way has never lost by way of a k o kept getting out each time the last emperor sent him to the canvas to everyone's surprise given the ngo did not pursue monson on the ground even once inviting the americans to fight standing up perhaps that was the only strategy that could have worked against the forty year old submission expert as the ballots when they started this this all three five minute rounds and. i didn't want to take any risks because geoff is a very courageous and difficult fights out v i wasn't planning on finishing off on

the ground because i knew how dangerous he is that and he could have taken advantage of finite the slightest snag i worked very hard on making sure that all stand off doesn't end up in ground wrestling wrong move and the result would have been very different this was limited getting calls first ever and then they appearance and must go which certainly pleased the local crowd however there was one special fan in attendance a martial arts expert himself who probably doesn't take the hades lightly but the russian prime minister vladimir putin had no reason to be upset on the night as he and the rest of the sold out of the bakery now witnessed the return of the last and her. the bites have to stop at one point as jeff monson his face was bleeding profusely after he took several punches from fielder and the older american grappling specialist managed to continue the fight already obvious that he was badly hurt and that was evident in the aftermath of this bout when jeff monson had
