two run escalating motivated as another bloke what you will and its western allies when you and shiva ben you appeared at the summit he condemned to their persistent aggressive couric and threats of a strike on iran your political analyst eric draitser believes the summit clearly indicates the u.s. efforts to isolate iran have been in vain. the iranians first of all they believe that they have the inherent right according to the nuclear nonproliferation treaty that they have the right to have a nuclear program so long as it's for peaceful purposes as is now accepted international law the united states and israel too to a large extent are terribly embarrassed about the fact that the nonaligned movement summit has gone off as a tremendous success the a a in many ways is part of what the leader in iran called the overt dictatorship of the united nations that is to say that the i.a.e.a. is always led by us produced think tank individuals like eldora di or

his predecessors who will inevitably execute the agenda of the western powers regardless of whether that contravenes international law the u.s. ministry has suspended all trading for afghan forces. incidents where this incheon did recruits and infiltrators turned a guns on their mental of around twenty seven thousand afghans are now being vetted for ties to the taliban and the insurgency more now on the potential consequences of the suspension with robida neighbor who's just policy foreign policy and he's joining us live now mr naman thank you for being here on our team now with just over a year to go until the united states has over security responsibility to afghan forces is this really the time to suspend the training. well it's past time what's really striking about this is that nato officials are admitting that they've known for years that there are only vetting procedures were not being followed.

and that this is contributed to these killings spectacular vision. in the big question of why did you make these changes for finally the problem grew to such a spectacular stage that they could no longer ignore and there's no way that western publics you're going to tolerate that western soldiers are being killed by afghan soldiers and police that that the west is training and skill that these events have been happening how do you know that an entire on the in what will presumably have to be a reasonably short time frame isn't realistic and why have the attacks grown so shopping in recent months do you think. well i think the attacks have groome because first of all they've been as they now admit and people to these forces without vetting and secondly because there are just greater proximity

and third because there is greater stress both stress on the afghans will be the beliefs of stress on the u.s. forces which helps them behave in ways that broke the afghan soldiers and police if you look at public opinion polls in the united states people knew ninety eight have given up on this war a long time ago that's got to have an effect on the morale of the troops there their perception of the sochi war isn't that different than perceptions of people you know that's going to affect their behavior that's going to make it more likely that they've been even provocative ways that's going to be more likely that's going to make retaliation more likely speaking all the more raw is it even possible to prevent someone becoming disillusioned or joining the taliban mid training for that matter how do you think you've got that going for that it's certainly not possible

to prevent it completely i don't think given the u.s. military claimed their claim that they could do a better job of reducing and and i'm sure they could i mean again by their own admission they have failed to execute their own policy so yes they pay more attention to this could they do a better job i believe that that's true i think the deeper question is you know what can we learn from this about u.s. policy and the credibility of the generals were always told to defer to the generals the generals ever control until there are some spectacular episode it shows that they don't have a situation to be drawn this shows the need for political leadership and political decisions this week the state department is facing a decision about whether to designate conny now as a terrorist organization is something. the military demanded and the people in the state department and the white house they've resisted because this is a symbolic move that could be state make peace talks more difficult and delay the

release of the u.s. soldier who's being helped by the told or so this shows that we need to second guess the general you know positive. first your plan isn't working we need to do something. now less than a month just last question it appears that afghan stuff simply don't i'm here to proceed just as basic as issuing identification to soldiers how do you ask an army hope to be a competent fighting forth with such glaring issues. well i think the ultimate responsibility lies with nato these were procedures that nato knew were not being followed in nato didn't do anything about it. so the people in the west should be looking to the new officials and say why didn't they follow their own rules and what should we conclude from that about western in particular u.s. policy i think that is really where the focus of the west should be and you know

what are you going to do to change that policy which is so clearly spectacularly failed right plz leave it right there thank you for your time robert naiman policy director at just foreign policy giving his views on that story in afghanistan will be looking closely to see what happens in the next few. why still ahead for you later this hour she was killed on purpose that's the adamant view of a witness to the death of you was activist rachel corrie friends really army bulldozer by the courts controversial decision to clear the military from. now mitt romney officially accepted his nomination as republican presidential candidate this week as he did so he slammed his rival barack obama saying his handling of foreign affairs was poor romney said a much tougher stance must be taken toward some countries including russia but critics have questioned much of what was said damage you can experience. mitt

romney is now officially barack obama's opponent for the white house and he's talking tough throwing rocks well verbal rocks not only the president but also nations at the republican convention where he accepted his nomination mr romney did not fail to once again highlight his animosity towards russia he criticized the president for not being hard enough in his view on russia when it comes to missile defense mitt romney says under his administration quote mr putin will see less flexibility and more backbone end of quote and of course that adds up to his earlier statements that russia is america's number one geopolitical enemy and that they need to reset the reset that's actually what he says on his website as part of mitt romney's foreign policy agenda so yes a lot of tough talk i heard experts say that's how mitt romney makes up for lack of charisma what's interesting about the backbone comment is that mitt romney himself is often characterized as lacking the backbone as he has flip flopped on so many

issues like abortion he was for abortion before he was against it or illegal immigration he was for giving them legal status that he was for deporting them mitt romney is flip flops have been widely discussed they've become an endless source of inspiration for comedians this is this is from the tonight show with jay leno it says actually mitt romney and hurricane isaac have something in common they can both change directions at any moment and another comedian goes obama is like you can be whatever you want to be while romney is like i can be whatever you want me to be there are tons of jokes about mitt romney and his backbone issues apparently one way of showing some backbone for him is this kind of tough talk full of threats we'll see how far it will take him in this november election. the british high court test smashed the hopes and reputation of russia's self exile tycoon boris

berezovsky his high stakes little suit against billionaire composed. was dismissed in one of the most expensive cases in legal history one that from art is laura smith. the final verdict in this case found against bodies that is old school which means that he won't receive a cent of the more than five point six billion dollars that he was also going for from which run up what i want to promote himself was not in court but it is old steve was he a relieved looking very upbeat saying that he had full confidence in the british legal system but was the verdict was being read he held his head in his hands and as he was leaving he appears to have lost confidence in the british legal system now this is a case that has opened up for the viewing of the general public the key world old brushes maker rich and what they got up to back in the nineteen ninety's the wild east as we called it back then we're talking about massive sums of money offshore

bank accounts elicit payments made between people often in massive sums of cash or of course five star hotels ski resorts and enormous business deals done only on the strength of a handshake with no documentation which of course has made this case a very difficult one to judge it's cruel to london to school building billionaires along with their own choices maker expensive lawyers and bodyguards who walked around this area in their shades in a minute singing way but he spit his old ski says that he was done out of billions of dollars when he says that abramovich intimidated him into selling shares in russian metals and oil companies for a fraction of what they were but abramovich says that in fact he would never business partners that he was making payments to bit is also key but they were only . for political protection pre-show roof in russian results he wanted five point

six billion dollars on top of the one point two billion that he received back in two thousand and two from abramovich this is been one of the biggest civil trials ever held in british legal history it's been hundreds of hours and resulted in millions of dollars worth of legal fees so we've heard the results of this case no win this time around but we may see more cases of this nature here in london. while news of that mega rich a squabble over billions in london might not go down well in crisis hit spain is hard to come by and one in four is now out of a job this is according to the latest figures from your a stat that in just a few minutes. and two hundred years of to keep us all in russia fought against every agent of napoleon enthusiasm i really actually like. a defeat for justice that's how you win official war branded

a verdict by an israeli court or that cleared the military of any blame for the death of you was activism rachel corrie she was a run over by an army bulldozer in two thousand and three the twenty three year old was taking part in a protest against the demolition of palestinian homes in gaza but the judge ruled that her death was an accident and that she had brought it on to herself the verdict sparked a wave of concern among human rights groups who fear the case will set a dangerous precedent and allow israel to escape responsibility journalist tom dale witnessed cory's death and says he's sure the driver killed or on purpose. this tremendously just pointing out on the basis of what i saw on that day in two thousand and three it's absolutely not possible to characterize what happened as an accident in my view so i told the court and as i told the israelis military classification before the bulldozer driver had a very long drive up. before he got to rachel during which time he must have been able to see for the last. page was visible above the top of the blade just before

she was crushed and she clambered on a mound of trying to escape so in my mind there's absolutely no doubt that he would have seen a culture in the israeli military impunity for such crimes and that culture impunity should it take it fortunately sometimes by the quotes. segarty dot com for more on this and many other stories here's what you can find the right now. an eleven year old pakistani girl allegedly falls a victim to anyone and she is of trying to frame her for blasphemy in the koran burning. also online of the dolphin humorously and gretchen characters from the sims and lose a kettlewell game to russian lawmakers find out how and our dr.

the latest unemployment figures for the eurozone put it at a record eighteen million in july that's more than ten percent of the high is jobless rate since one thousand nine to five there was a fight the country is spain with a quarter of the population is not out of work journalist and author miguel until marauder says their current economic policy isn't bringing a resolution of the crisis in a close. we haven't really tackled a problem with the eurozone we just have a program of austerity for all the different countries to reduce the deficit debt is certainly not enough is not working he says i feeling growth which is an even worse problem and we are in the midst of a recession certainly here in spain and very soon in many other european countries so unless we have a clear idea of how to reform the euro now we are not in the good but it's not just the economic crisis it's also the economic policies spain east. it is now performing a very hard agenda of

a steady two cats and that is actually biting all sectors of its funny economy and the problem is that is not working is not bringing down the deficit which is the main targets and then as i say he's damaging all the aspects of spain's economy. the case is sounding the alarm over illegal immigration promising to take tough measures and create a hostile environment for those who don't have the right to stay but before they can be deported they have to be found and that's what the british legal system is having trouble with sarah for a report. on the black hole of the u.k. immigration system easy to guess in but no one's been properly tracking who should be and is going out last month chief inspector john vine revealed just how bad things at the u.k. border agency were guessing when he discovered more than one hundred fifty thousand migrants that have been refused the right to remain in the k. had simply disappeared some people may have left the country some of the most still

be here i think the key fact was that the agency had no idea how many that were actually still in the country and how many had left in the wake of the revelations the government began talking tough immigration minister damian green said new warning sent to immigrants would reduce the number who are overstaying their visa the government's made a lot of noise about its efforts to cut immigration but at the total seven hundred billion pound government spending budget just one point nine billion is allocated to the u.k. border agency that's just a third of one percent it's an incredibly small amount and historically underfunded and still cripplingly under-resourced the u.k. border agency is now under pressure and the latest revelations that more than one hundred fifty thousand migrants the missing could just be the tip of the iceberg it's very rare that hundred fifty thousand figure came from the couch where people have applied to extend their leave to remain in the u.k. being refused and they go into a much bigger part of a million sounds about what

a number of people here. in london immigration lawyer amir's eighty tells us this the food regencies to have any hope of reducing the number of missing migrants they need to resit clean change their approach i think the. you need two percent stop promoting a very tough line because the people who absorb the top flight in the media or of course the markets and sells and they don't come forward if the u.k.b.a. promote a transparent and fair lines they will take every case individually those that deserves they want to go but these individual groups can stay those people would come forward this hundred fifty nine would go down instantly and then applications could be processed properly instead it seems it'll be a neat database that will be depended upon to track down those staying in britain illegally expected to launch next month among the companies bidding for the tender is g four s. g four s. the company that created a high profile controlled the sea recently when it failed to deliver enough stuff for the olympic games they're seeking their multi-million pound contract it's

the french and the russians have squared up a cannons are blasting the infantry squaring up and the cavalry is preparing to charge and the reenactment of the climactic battle of napoleon's invasion of russia two hundred years before cousens of people have turned out to see this reenactment and reenact as a combo for russia and all the way from france and germany to take part really all of this on the scale of a hollywood film all the people here getting just a part of the experience of what it was like to be present at that great historical moment polly and marched into russia in one thousand told with what was there a largest army ever assembled he intended to make imperial russia soon for peace and so become a master of europe but it was here at this point to the west of moscow that the russians decided to stand and fight the result being an enormous long and brutal

civil war getting much of a battle the french guns pounded the russian lines all day rather like this but the russians failed to break they stood their ground the next day they were forced to retire from the field having lost so many men but polian took moscow but he wasn't able to keep it within two years not only had the polian failed to make imperial russia super peace it was the russian army that was marching into paris. but i'll be back with the headlines in a few minutes you're watching r t stay with us. all .

dominated presidential candidate mitt romney promises hard line stance against russia but faces criticism for flip flopping on major issues. on the upcoming u.s. presidential election and the troubles with america's political system as we talk to author andrew living. we're sitting down with an author professor of philosophy and currently a senior scholar at the institute for policy studies injure a living thank you very much for joining me you contributed to a book it's titled hopeless barack obama and the politics of illusion what was the illusion in your opinion and how did it get hopeless well obama of course campaigned on the idea of hope and the possibility of change but he

was skillful in turning himself into something like a rorschach figure which anyone could see whatever they wanted to see the changes were not certainly ruptures with the past. and they dashed at the expectations of virtually every constituency that supported him because they envisioned the transformations of american domestic and foreign policy that were far more far reaching than what obama actually even attempted let alone achieved as far as foreign policy you're writing that president obama's wars could come back to bite him even the ones he didn't start but which you argue are his by now he pledged to withdraw from iraq and afghanistan he says that's what he doing in what way could they bite him well they could all fall apart. in effect the

united states lost both of those wars even before obama assumed office but the imperative that obama faced which was also the imperative that george bush faced in his final years was not to lose face i'd like you to expend a little bit on afghanistan you argued against any particular surname to a face saving operation for the president how is he handling that. well to the extent that he can develop a consensus in the political class in the united states to get out as soon as possible which seems to be happening not particularly through his own initiatives he will get out but unless that develops he's going to have is going to have to be a continued presence there of some sort which is going to continue to wreak murder and mayhem and not to achieve any of the official objectives that the united states put forward in entering into that conflict in the first place if that explodes then

obama will look bad because the united states will look weak and it will look it will look defeated and that will and that's not a recipe for success for someone who was worked on an electoral campaign aside from the wars already on the u.s. plate you wrote that by far the biggest bullet for president obama to dodge is a war against iran do you think it might actually happen i mean expert even in the was government say so crazy idea. well it looks now like obama has dodged that bullet at least until november by basically bye bye bye bye in law for israel with our arms what do you think about the president's approach with regards to iran when he's trying to cater to to everybody in a way to the israelis by saying that he would be ready to go to war and to everybody else by saying that he actually doesn't like the drums of war and there is still a chance for diplomacy to work i think the result is that although he maybe have

succeeded in avoiding the war between now and the election and maybe even afterwards one could hope the rationale for the war remains intact and so the past so the danger that some events could transpire which would lead to. which would reignite the danger and maybe even lead to what to look at the eruption of the war remains real and obama hasn't effectively addressed that issue i think this is an instance of a general problem with obama's presidency and it's partly why it's very hard for anyone any of obama's supporters to come up with any reason for it. for supporting him especially for supporting him enthusiastically in the upcoming election other than that the alternative is so much worse. because whatever he's accomplished that could not on balance be. given up

a plus it's always in cumbered by negatives that are very nearly cancel cancel out the benefits the contenders for the republican nomination they have a pretty scary rhetoric when it comes to foreign affairs everyone minus ron paul. they don't seem to have words political solution in there with capillary right and yet you called president obama the most hawkish of the lot why well he's the most hawkish of the lot with. respect to some issues there not with respect to to all issues his position on afghanistan. is at least momentarily probably more hawkish than that of mitt romney they they. they have all of them said that now is the time to get out and obama has the steward of the empire can't say that.
