afghanistan's president tells r t that security in the country is under control despite incessant violence and the plans of key nato members to pull out early from the costly war. syria don't rest box three days of deadly clashes in neighboring lebanon while in syria itself terror groups try to drive the opposition's point home with a series of suicide bombings. and the latest installment of julie this show is almost here this time it focuses on the innocent casualties of america's war on terror including one man managed to get out of guantanamo bay.

live from moscow at eight pm here welcome to r.t. i'm kevin now in with our top story for you this the latest outbreak of violence in afghanistan has claimed the lives of nine people as an explosion has rocked a market in the north of the country that attack comes ahead of the next transition phase which will see control of three quarters of the country pass from nato hands to those of afghan security forces all this is a lie and support for the new war is hitting a new low tests or a sitter reports. afghanistan to over two thousand one nato led international military offensive in response to the september eleventh attacks in the u.s. largely backed by international partners more than a decade ago. now after tens of thousands of casualties and hundreds of billions of dollars later. this will not be quick nor easy so one thing that's

not keeping pace is support over seventy percent of the population want more troops are the figure is rising in the u.s. sixty three percent last week want to see an end to the war and this is what it's come down to nations breaking ranks with nato by deciding to pull out troops earlier than planned france the fourth largest contributor of troops to the war saw a rise in added nato rhetoric in its presidential campaign season with most french in favor of early withdrawal will renegotiate the place of france in the integrated military command. expected from afghanistan and australia is the latest nation to make a surprise announcement raising the question of whether more will follow suit a potential sticking point at nato summit in chicago no not at all concerned should we stay or should we go that is a question several members of the alliance for france australia have been blowing over ten years into the war in afghanistan but for some of them the answers already

foregone conclusion as it has become increasingly difficult to justify staying on board what some have already dubbed the sinking ship. the security in afghanistan is worse now than it was ten years ago when when the invasion began not to mention justifying cost of war to skeptical europeans who were already in over their heads with debt the afghan war after ten years is having a disaster effect on all the countries connected to it but the clearest way to bring up. the clearest stop way to. the war spilling over the borders into other countries is to end the occupation no the advice that should be given to all the major powers that. work in afghanistan is to get out as some appear to be rushing for the exit nation where the us may find themselves wondering who's going to be the last man standing as the water rises yes or cilia r.t.

. despite the ongoing violence in afghanistan its president says he has the country's security well under control hamid karzai has given an interview to our two you can see it in full after seven thirty pm g.m.t. . constantly in a strong did equated it to do well with pakistan and with our other neighbors but at the same time with this it's the complicated relationship between the united states and islam about as world we call it after back for a reason is they do have an impact and afghanistan is affected by it both ways. from the from approx thirty perspective and from an american perspective but we have issues we don't see older relations with pakistan from an american perspective we don't see or dilutions with iran from an american perspective we don't see the relations with russia which china from an american perspective

afghanistan has been able in spite of all our needs if i can put it in short words in spite of all our dependence on the united states and nato we have developed an independent foreign policy. lots to come in seven thirty pm g.m.t. closer to home still ahead for you as well we've more another state where nato has intervened a human rights group wants the alliance to be just it's a claim is that dozens of civilians in libya were killed after the military campaign there could report them are coming up. coalition talks in greece drag on despite a total deadlock is e.u. establishment to give voice to a future europe without the greeks on board. the foreign ministers of slap new economic sanctions on the syrian regime for the fifteenth time since the uprising there began there urging damascus to implement a un backed peace plan which has so far failed to provide any stability meantime violence in syria has been spilling across the border to lebanon was artie's policy

. the clashes broke out between those who support the syrian presidency of bashar assad and those who are opposed to it it comes in the light of observers in this region expressing concern for quite some time now that the violence and instability in syria will spill over into the rest of the region lebannon is a close neighbor and it shares political and sectarian ties as well as rivalries with syria now out of concern that the violence would spread further into lebanon the lebanese army has deployed three more units the violence started on saturday when an islamist by the name of a shadowy malawi was a wristed he was accused of having links with terrorist organizations but his wrist did cause islamize to go to the streets of the city of tripoli they close the entrances to the north and the south they also staged a sit in and they held up the syrian

a flag of independence for some time now damascus has been warning that arms as well as fighters are being smuggled into lebanon and being used to assist the rebels in syria fight and take on the syrian regime of bashar assad just on thursday we saw the deadliest string of suicide bombings with some fifty five people killed in this syria and what we're hearing from the syrian regime is that it is being targeted by a terrorist alliance of al qaida and other elements that are backed by regional powers but as my colleague sara firth reports there's also a growing sense that a third player is involved let's take a look. it was a little known terror group the al nusra front they claimed responsibility for last week's massive bombing in syria the blast carried out in a busy residential area designed to cause maximum damage damascus which the so long had been through and they sheltered from the conflict throughout the rest of the

country has in recent months found itself the target of an increased bombing campaign this latest explosion considered the largest one and you can just see the devastation that it's caused. at the scene angry crowds at the quite them terrorist acts shouting blame at saudi arabia and qatar it's plain that many analysts are saying these countries actions are undermining the peace process if you. stopped supporting. supporting. everything will be finished within two months but if they want to continue supporting them they want to be in the region treading amongst the rubble as people show the ruins. and what is one of

damascus is poorest neighborhoods there's a real sense of a revolution spinning out of control syria's uprising began as a peaceful pro-democracy movement that has splintered into a confusing mix of various groups political a nonpolitical. and the continued instability here left the country wide open to attacks like this taking place. it's a problem for the syrians that. provided chance for every way to end the world to interfere and this. either by providing arms or providing funds or providing fighters and saw jurors. as people are left to bury their dead and with the hospitals full syrian people are once again trying to rebuild their homes and their lives and the

focus has once again turned the peace it is looking more and more fragile by the day a wall is now in place around the blast site stark reminder that terror has served only as yet another barrier to peace here. in the arab countries were revolution did take place there are questions about how much they're actually following a democratic path egypt tunisia and libya recently barred anyone involved in the toppled pop toppled regime from taking part in elections we're hearing about that fifty minutes from now talking to arab media monitor the sheriff who says the moves open the way for further conflict. what these electoral laws are doing in a way just the same as what those regimes that was barring candidates from running and that that is inherently antidemocratic. you should give people the choice. you should be able to gauge the level of support that the officials from the forums

use. if they don't have any support then let them fail electoral rather than make them political martin and this could create the kind of instability. and extremism . next an expose of the cruel reality of life inside guantanamo bay on tuesday we're bringing you the fifth installment of julian songes new show featuring a former inmate from the controversial prison a london correspondent laura smith has more on the interview and what it reveals on the workings of the war on terror. it's the fifth episode of the world tomorrow and during it doing us are speak to people who have had firsthand experience of the effects of the war on terror one of them is correct who is used to be a corporate lawyer but now campaigns for detainees of the war on terror through an organization called cage prisoners the second interview here is a man called begg he himself spent is in guantanamo bay before being released

without charge during his detention actually signed a confession which said that he had been prepared to fight alongside al qaida he provided assistance to al qaida members knowing that they could commit terrorist attacks against the u.s. during the program he talks about how he came to sign that confession let's hear him. walk me to the point where i would sign something like this was being tied up with. my legs with a hood placed over my head being punched kicked listing to the sound of a woman screaming next all i'm told is led to believe as my wife my children's pictures being waved in front of me being asked by these interrogators when do you think you're going to see them again or do you think happened the night that we took you from the back during the show goes into great detail about the horrors of his detention in guantanamo bay the immense sense of injustice that he felt during

his detention he was ultimately released without charge in two thousand and five he then when he got home to britain he sued the british government for complicity in his ordeal and he reached an out of court financial settlement with the government since then though he and i. have been actively trying to end this practice of detention without trial seem caressa during the program talks about what drives him to carry on with his fight seeing guantanamo seemed. challenging the u.k. tradition and all of these things common and you will actually be abused. and for very specific purposes and all of them i mean convince me that i used to be involved something was working against these these policies encourage prisoners is this important voice for muslims to empower and they also talk about the future so both have their own visions about what's happened in the middle east and what the u.s. is achieved in its war on terror they say that they don't think that al qaeda was

ever as powerful or as all denies all the nature of the organization that it's been made out to be by western powers but they say terror is very much still thriving today that the united states didn't just attack or something like in the interest of truth they went after nations and they killed tens of thousands of people in the process so bin laden may have come and gone it's irrelevant because those symptoms that bin laden was addressing are still there that's just a little bit of the program you can see the whole thing which is being broadcast for the first time on r.t. tomorrow cheese day at eleven thirty g.m.t. don't miss it. after a disheartening failure yesterday the greek president called for a new round of coalition talks in athens later today but the full cost is bleak with the second largest city fractured refusing to even attend the meeting its leader alexis says the probe parties perpetrating

a crime that he wants no part in but the crisis in greece is being viewed very differently in europe with more and more speculating on the exit from the euro zone and greece maybe well the year is also said to be considering cutting payments to greece as well as punishment for its bad behavior journalist and lecturer probably got his attorneys told me a default is guaranteed on the country's massive debt. i think the only way to solve the problem is to have a radical change in policy is austerity cannot continue if you know it is a choice between austerity and democracy the people have rejected the terms of the bailout agreements they have rejected the terms of the loan agreement they want a radically different policy how worse can it get we're in the fifth year of a recession we have unemployment over twenty one twenty two percent there's no exit . exit strategy and people are in despair and this is what happened in the last

election this was was expressed this social diverse station took a political front the question is not whether or when greece is going to exit but how i think that default and an exit from the euro zone are now practically inevitable coming up on the program tonight as well a team of international law prepared to wards the stars in a russian rocket while the families of course face an anxious countdown for lift off because their story. is nato member states are getting ready for this summit in chicago this week a report surface played in the alliance for dozens of civilian deaths during its military campaign in libya new york based human rights watch has called for a thorough investigation while nato has refused to comment vendors that make healthy who's from human rights watch says the alliance is trying to hide from its responsibilities. well my colleagues went to eight sites in louisville they knew

that civilian deaths have occurred and people died and there were no signs of any military presence so of course there are lots of questions so i asked to nato we found out there that at least seventy two civilians have died without any connection to any military activity on the ground so we are asking nato to investigate those that need to send us to the states the states send us back to to natal so we are kind of trapped in the bureaucratic machinery there and day to really is obliged they need to investigate those killings they have to ask the transitional government in libya to get some people on the ground to do that it can't be that difficult. the give get him over to check it out website for all the latest news a lot of videos great photos on there's a great resource it's r t dot com there right now spies in the sky find out how u.s. drones are recording surveillance images of americans and there can store them in

good the rookie to use a run to the ferry and i'm really grateful to everyone who do. so what's involved in becoming so calm and collected before space mission training of course but also a whole lot of patience generally cosmonauts have to buy their time for years before getting the chance of a date with the stars. always nine years that i've been waiting it's been training and learning and so you think about tests and learning like eternal students. perhaps that's why those who do this regarded as a true experience. we're starting from kazakhstan training in russia different sized crew for a different mission a long time on space station so the whole thing is a completely different experience other than of course of course being in space and seeing the earth from up there and working in a way to listen in by canoe or even go. also tonight in more world news the
