procedures were not being followed. and this is contributed to these killings spectacular admission. and the big question of why didn't make these changes before finally the problem grew to such a spectacular stage that they could no longer ignore the attacks of groom because first of all they've been as they now admit any people to these forces without vetting and secondly because there are just greater prosperity in third because there is greater stress both stress on the afghans will be police stress on the u.s. forces which helps them behave in ways that both the afghan soldiers and police and 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 that shows that they don't have a situation to be drawn what should we conclude from that about western in particular u.s. policy i think that is really where the focus of why should be and you know what are we going to do to change that policy which is so clearly spectacularly failed. they're watching our team live from moscow still ahead for you we will get why despite relentless violence in syria and some people in the country still believe that working the land is the best way to preserve peace. process is gearing up to work in the business elite from across the globe at the apec summit in the east of the country but fareed to take full advantage of its position on the map as a bridge between europe and asia but exclusive interview are always that we take leave three the global equity markets at about twenty minutes time. the beginning

of september holds a somber significance for one of russia's southern regions north a set is in its third day of mourning commemorating those who lost their lives during the beslan school siege in two thousand and four terrorists took over a thousand people hostage. although most of the victims were saved after military forces stormed the building three hundred thirty four people most of them children died in the tragedy watch archie's documentary a town of little angels later today. their childhood was overshadowed by this tragedy. these two feel fear they. don't remember every second of this light and. it will remain in their memories and harsh forever. and if you saw.

a little. very warm warm welcome to this is our tino in bahrain anti-government rallies showing no sign of easing as dozens of protesters clashed with riot police west of the gulf country's capital demonstrations took place after authorities banned a sit in organized by a local opposition party and this is the latest in eighteen months protest against the monarchy but some experts predicting that activists what only settle for regime change people of bahrain are resolute they cannot be pacified any longer they two hundred twenty nine year. minority and the monarchy has become increasingly

just fly like a club chartered they are corrupt and the people demand a marvelously they're tired of a single family running the entire country with general court with no just as there are with disparity amongst the population the government n n n south to divert attention away from this opposition is trying to say this is all inspired externally from iran so they're trying to serve the opposition of the internal column being set out by iranian security that is somehow prompting these people to dislike the regime but from a resident of bahrain i can assure you that both in sunni and bahrain as well as those who are unarmed and then the monarchy and want to go. new international envoy to syria has described his peace mission in the country as nearly impossible lakhdar brahimi said in order to settle the crisis both the government and the

rebels should end the violence the relentless conflict has already forced hundreds of thousands of refugees to seek shelter abroad while some people are still clinging to their homeland struggling to keep their livelihoods going and as oksana boy going now reports they believe that working the land could preserve what little peace remains. reaping the harvest of economic isolation and a good one farmers across syria are is busy as ever collecting the fruits of their labor decades of economic sanctions haven't taught syria to rely on no one but itself at least when it comes to agricultural production and there are no sour grapes about it now while the political pressure on syria is mounting this country is still fully able to feed its people. almost everything that adds up on syrian tables is growing here in the country south far from the clashes and this year spared the usual drought these fields are probably the government's best had

against all sorts of foreign pressure aiming to undermine its support base. syria has experienced sanctions since the 1980's and it is told the country to be self-sufficient now i agree culture is well structured we have all the seeds fertilizers and water if they haven't been damaged by the sanctions or by the ongoing clashes i can say that agriculture still remains among the sectors least affected by the clashes well this place still looks like a sanctuary of peace the actual war is heard here all too well seventy three year old jimmy there says he understands the young who want their country to change what he can't accept is their means. people who are misled and hold weapons fight the government and destabilize the country are wrong i hope they'll calm down we all need peace to return to syria. polarized in so many levels the syrian conflict

has also drawn the line between villagers and city dwellers as violence continues in urban areas people in the countryside are working hard to feed the two warring parties attacking villagers out in rural areas isn't going to really help them in accomplishing their task which is to try to get assad out of power and so i think that's certainly not going to get the sea. and people on their side so i think that the attacks are being concentrated in urban areas where they have the greatest chance to affect syria economically and potentially to strike at military targets in the lap or clashes are still the order of the day but twenty kilometers west mohammad is trying to preserve one of his family's to be colonies the other new homes is thought to have been destroyed they couldn't access it for more than six months. they don't want to come into politics it's too dangerous now all they can see is they think using weapons was the biggest mistake of the. syrian beekeepers

are absolutely convinced that a superior to all foreign spaces that ability to withstand hardship and the blood of their pastures and its clashes in the north continue taking that toll on the industry many here hope that there is the only answer of syrian peace will also be transferred to that kippers r.c. syria. and we have plenty more stories on our website r t v dot com head there for the latest. the right to shoot over the right to drink discover the unusual items banned by the us police head of the democratic national convention. plus perhaps a gold medal for an olympic champion isn't reward enough and why one proud spectator decided to congratulate his world beating athletes with a cow. welcome

to our god for war one of the founders of the file sharing pirate bay website has been arrested income boediono he was detained after an international warrant was issued against him by his native sweden wark fail to show up for the start of his one year jail term in january for copyright violations for more on this we're joined by political analyst and founder of sweden's pirate party rick a fall convenient thank you mr frank venia for joining us now governments across the world have increased their efforts against file sharing but what do these copyright laws accomplish i mean can file sharing really ever be stopped no it can and is the very important question as mobile phones increase their memory devices and increasingly have the capacity to store all of humanity using music movies and

culture and we're not far from there that means that everybody in a few feet can share anything with everybody else in the cafe so once you realize that this cannot be stopped you start instead looking at all the benefits of this new technology we are at a crossroads where all of humanity. this is the entire library of human culture and knowledge all the tools are already developed the cables are in place the technology has been rolled out we have to do is remove the ban on using it but as usual there are vested interests in doing things lists efficiently and. the receiving people deprive the people of his knowledge that frankly gain economically from it on certain type two but i did want to mention internet laws like act and so they have been met with some global criticism

and many see it as an attempt to limit web freedom but surely these rules are being implemented to protect people's intellectual property there is an excellent point the thing is you cannot enforce the copyright monopolies and force of intellectual property with looking at what people send online to each other that is after all where these these files are being shared and if you're looking at what people sent to one another your also by definition starting to limit freedom of speech that is where you see hundreds of thousands of europeans on the streets rarely against what politicians so what would a done deal so they were taken completely by surprise as were the american politicians with a soapbox this is you cannot enforce these old monopoly laws with cracking down on fundamental civil rights which is why you see the entire young generation

rising it against these we're not bullies now godfried war along with his three other co-founders they were ordered to pay millions of dollars in damages right to enter ts companies that how large of a role do you think these corporations played in his arrest. they played a very significant. the the jury is still out on the what unfortunately. there are conflicting reports on. what really led to the wrist i've heard reports about a bar brawl being the run up to it with just local police and differing on a local disturbance deports the american ambassador being income both at the time of his arrest and high level talks taking place. this morning as was mentioned reports surfaced the year rest was a result of swedish authorities asking for assistance from cambodia despite the

lack of an extradition agreement so i think there will still be another couple of days before we really understand what the reason for this arrest was as for me personally. more than to see. him doing well they come both here because he hasn't been heard from for a while all right i'm afraid that's all the time we have political evangelist rick fall convenient thank you so much for your time. now it's time for a look at some other world news and brief for you this hour two people have been killed and at least nineteen injured after a car leaving the u.s. consulate in pakistan was round by an explosive laden vehicle u.s. embassy officials say no american citizens were killed in the suicide attack several foreign organizations and you went out of their offices area where the blast occurred no one has yet claimed responsibility for the.

prosecutors have provisionally dropped murder charges against two hundred seventy miners in south africa previously blamed for the deaths of thirty four of their coworkers the death toll followed orders protests over working conditions police say they responded with gunfire after being attacked by a machete wielding workers striking at the platinum mine the incident is thought to be. the most brutal police reaction in south africa since one thousand nine hundred four. as a new school year kicks off in russia the government has turned its attention to the moral health of the country's children and broadcasting law has been introduced to protect kids against the potentially harmful effects of t.v. content. this can often then to find out more was violence in the film it's become almost as widespread in t.v. and popular culture as a bad language go ahead eric it's all right. creative for

a. graphic and explicit content is often watched by children something russian legislators and the senators like. people usually associate themselves with fictional characters they see on t.v. that wonderful adults can understand and analyze that for children the characters both positive and negative are models which they absorb and take with. the new forces t.v. radio and online media to market the programs they're showing by for each candidate ranging from six to eighteen programs depicting things like sex violence drugs and so on can now only be shown after eleven pm and you can hear just one problem there was just so it was a corner that there is a paragraph in there which is supposed to explain which content of this that will lie still and we should doesn't like for example information of cultural and historic value but stipulation is written so loosely and nobody understands exactly

what's cultural value and what sort of information is of such value just it as a part of the law doesn't give it is which are especially without potentially even the classics and soviet cinema i didn't mention it had banned for children like one famous series of syria where the wolf sometimes smokes tobacco in the. it's absurd that cartoons we used to mean you know when you mean when they're interesting enough because it is. and smoking is merely a quibble. it's up to media outlets to discern for themselves which programs can be shown when and what age waiting to give them but an efficient commission will be tasked with leaving only any breaches of the green light the penalties included for anyone to six thousand us dollars and even the possibility of the suspension of the stations broadcasting for three months many people will agree an initiative of this

kind was necessary however there are those the current law is workable so that could actually confuse both the viewers and the media while others believe if it is possible to police the media it's much more difficult to police the children often find a way to watch whatever they want anyway you want to get off the moscow. turn to the business desk with katie so it's been a busy week for russian business absolutely lots coming up actually karen you know the holidays are over and it's also an exciting time as well i'm talking about the apec summit going to be going into detail we've got exclusive interview on the way as well also what's going on with the european markets as well because the nations selling the most in months not before marriage that are based on. france austria belgium returning to the markets this week after that month long haul as a force germany also step in that does one of the options take place before the

e.c.b. the president will speak at the meeting on thursday it's all about a new phone line program that's what they're waiting for as you can see optimism in the air that my vote got gains in london and frankfurt as good as the common cars you see what is happening just now what waves a lot of thought and as you can see it is still managing to lose it until one twenty five or seventy four and the russian currency is not moving again. the currency markets for extra it is not too much going on seem to be holding steady today the russian markets they are indeed heading north still we have chinese manufacturing data also taking effect on all the trading falls of course today because it means that the child's essential stimulus increases helping resisting momentum his the ever else as well oh prices all still suffering a little bit struggling for direction here but i'll put in all this has had a poet's soviet record private state companies extracted a combined ten million barrels

a day it over production is rising as the industry seeks to take it home to a strong look at global oil prices before ten shoal on the impact of a possible greek withdrawal from the euro zone's those of potentials impulse about us is that now let's talk about the apec summit that russia's unique about positional mout between europe and asia could lend a helping hand now ahead of the summit we caught up with one of russia's biggest industrial holdings similar there's a great potential in their h.m. . chairing apec russia demonstrated that it is capable of using its soft have for our initiatives in regional integration transportation food security and innovation being supported by all other business council members russia will only be able to fully capitalize on its role in the geographical region between germany if it improves its own interest charge and regulation it's working

at the moment took less than one percent of all trades only between those two parts of the world chance portion i russian territory it's literally no. projects we are offering to develop we will enable russia to increase not only the transit through its territorial way up to five percent. how will your company culture be out in the development of business in the region. which we started to large scale asia oriented projects in the far east of building coal and grain. we think that after last year's tsunami in japan the demand for russian coal rises it will be just as a lengthy substituting for nuclear power stations going out of service in the us with a grain terminal well russia has enough grain to increase its exports to five million tons. however in russia so far east existing infrastructure and he allowed to export seventy thousand tons last year and we will be able to export over one

hundred times more. what are the main problems that russia has over in the order to be able to capitalize on its unique case in the region. to make russia more attractive for international cargo flows before we need to solve the problem of insufficient access to its people to keep the i don't know which one of the days of work gets on board ship customs regulations are another issue it takes almost two weeks for a container to get customs clearance it's the same amount of time as. take. steps to modify that once we improve services and customs procedures and of course is a word tentative cargo going to the chinese i'd be real way and the north sea rigs will become attractive for international businesses in a more profound is that she by her own time now also say cheerio marina causer be taking i have a keeping track of all the market action for you all right thanks a lot i'll be back with our top stories in just

a few. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so poorly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm charged welcome to the big picture.

hello and welcome to our team karen these are your top stories india and china's plans to step up their military exchanges has the west where re as the world's two largest armies unite their efforts to boost influence in the region. the u.s. halts training of a bulk of afghan forces after a spike in deadly insider attacks as nato adam it's negligent attitudes to the vetting process has led recruits turning their guns on their mentors. and russia demands explanation from britain after london reportedly sets in motion the so-called mark mead ski list by instructing its small scale embassy to did not

people allegedly connected with the lawyers death and trends to the u.k. . those are the headlines for now stay with us for peter lavelle's crosstalk. hello and welcome to cross talk i'm peter lavelle forward to blot of our stock on the eve of the meeting of the asia pacific economic cooperation regional group to what degree is the global economy now centered in the east and south are we living in the pacific century and if we are which isn't really me. and.

started. to cross out the apec group i'm joined by and lee in new york she's an adjunct professor at new york university and author of what the u.s. can learn from china in cambridge we have william overhauled he is a senior research fellow with the ash center for democratic governance and innovation at harvard's kennedy school and here in the studio with me is the of on aziz he's a professor of economics at cornell university right crosstalk rose in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and only one of us stuck in the end why should people know something about this why is it important it's important for a number of reasons. one this is an organization that has been growing and clout and it is some it was a number of asian countries represented and many americans are not aware of this and with more and more activity going on in asia pacific and as you were

posing the question is it the pacific century and i would say yes because you know the pacific region is growing in wealth and whenever you have growing wealthy a growing influence and power and you're going to start to see more as these countries join the rulemaking classes and this is going to create changes throughout the world ok. cambridge are we going into the pacific century you know these are right countries represented. well you know. we we've been in. the half century asian dynamism. for the last half century and clearly. japan and. china. you know in asia have become much more important during this period and they

they do join they were. the ruling class as it were. i think it's i think it's important to distinguish that from the idea that that power is shifting completely across the pacific we we actually don't know whether that's going to happen. when i was starting my career. americans were paranoid about. taking over the world and. now japan as one of the biggest problems in the world economy china may continue its minimalism or it may become another japan. may. decline because it doesn't invest in infrastructure and education or it may continue to be the center of innovation and economic dynamism so it's

a pacific century it's not clear at all clear what the weighting across the pacific will be ok then what do you think the weighting will be i mean is it is it going to be as a lot of people say this is china's club ok let's be fair it's china's club well one bit to look at is the following if we just look at what happened in the last four years we knew what we did there was the global financial crisis since the lehman call it and just imagine suppose the asian countries especially the members of the asian members of the impact. it's not doing like what they're doing now in terms of economic performance i think the global economic growth is close to zero now now the fact is no that it was going to grow because of the apec country exactly exactly now with the global economy grow these three point five percent so it's of course it's not high but it's not too bad that's why some people report five is a lot for a lot of countries right now exactly in fact some people even question the global

crisis because many people now using the global economic crisis but how do you call global economic crisis when the economy in the world is growing by two point five percent but the entity is precisely because of. the members of the. so from that standpoint i think i fully believe it and built in themselves the you know the importance of apec as the organisation and if i go back to it's growing importance because the european union is going down the trains i mean it is that one of the reasons why it's growing in importance. well europe. was earlier down the drain. well china actually has indicated their support of the european union. obviously merkel has been meeting with chinese leadership over there and. announced new details to.
