didn't. look to. civilians that question in the crossfire between al qaeda linked militants under rocket troops one expert tells us the divisions called by the american led invasion is the real cause of the cold thanks. a u.k. government report says it's miters on the imminent threat because the public no longer knows what it's for example how it got to this point. in time and nice you want to make most of it you're one hundred percent committed. the family behind russia's sledge cricket captain in our latest report on the national party scene pairing to take on all comers at the winter games in sochi.

you're watching on c twenty four hour news life from moscow my name is your. main story. twenty five militants have reportedly been killed by an airstrike in iraq where government forces are on death of against and is the most insurgency the violence is being fueled by the conflict in neighboring syria was medicine apparently surging back and forth across the border and the center of the fight in the iraq in iraq is the city of fallujah. reports residents of. held during the u.s. occupation now face their own army's assault on the cd the iraqi government has lined up tanks on loaded fighter jets preparing to drive al qaeda linked militants out of the city the u.s. is packing more hellfire missiles and other weapons for the iraqi army to use and everybody knows when the bombing begins there will be blood brian back with me

brian so many innocent iraqis have died in terror attacks do you think this anti terror assault could turn out to be just as deadly as terror itself it could be even more deadly if the people of. have been through this before two thousand and four twice the u.s. marines committed huge war crimes against the people of flu should they can they call for a kill zone anything that moved was killed when you declare a kill zone you say everything that moves must die everything that moves must be a terrorist everything that moves is a legitimate target who then dies who then suffers it's the the people of fallujah themselves of course they don't want to live under al-qaeda but do they want to live under these kind of military assaults paid for by the united states with arms from the united states carried out by the movie government which has also been a brutal against the residents of fallujah i don't think so crucial question thank you thank you no doubt there is an urgent need to drive these militants out after all how can you allow extremists to run talents again territory expand but then you

also have to ask if you see bombing as a viable option in order to drive extremists out of residential areas how different is it from what bashar assad is doing in washington i'm going to check on our team . some observers accuse washington of fading to prevent the outbreak of sectarian violence in iraq it's clearly the result of the u.s. war in iraq that has given way to the the kind of sectarian fighting we're seeing in iraq you know the existence of these sectarian based political parties these the shia led leadership in iraq led by prime minister nouri al maliki was put in power and remains captain powered by the united states who provides the money the arms to keep his government in power that government has been not only incredibly corrupt and not only incredibly incompetent in terms of dealing with the needs of iraq to rebuild from these years of war but also has been incredibly sectarian in terms of

what it makes successful to various communities in iraq so you have this scenario where the sunni population which is the minority but a large minority in iraq feel completely disenfranchised disempowered disconnected from their own government. washington toxics in the middle east and beyond is up for debate and cross talk with peter level here. we are lions is all over the world because of a grand strategy that has been implemented especially since world war two that seeks to dominate the world and so all of our interests according to people in washington rests in every nook and cranny of the globe and we end up paying the governments of smaller nations and arming them and making sure that they are allied with us but it ends up in tangling us in conflicts that are none of our

business ok dive in new york would you agree with that or disagree entangling alliances just too many and it puts us interests all over the world at risk well i think certainly there is a danger of being overcommitted to allies but i think at the moment actually far form like precipitating conflict the opposite danger is that many of the us his longtime allies are now questioning the degree to which they can rely on the united states and that might actually encourage them themselves to take more certain perhaps risky action than they would do if they could rely upon the united states. people in the u.k. are losing side toward their own armies for a government report such as that's one of the greatest threats facing them in a tree according to the winding down of the campaign in afghanistan and every.

season interventions could lead the public to question whether they are amazed still the path is disillusionment is apparently being driven by severe budget cuts and what is seen as a failure to come out with a new term strategic vision recent which is among the top five military spenders in the world plans to slash the numbers by twenty thousand over the next six a gaze. investigate. the army's recruiting but applicant numbers are slow to pick up amid thousands of layoffs there's a massive drive to recruit army reservists but the midyear army memos revealed the number of people in the list of beyond the reserve over a three month period was just three hundred sixty seven barely a quarter of the target the ministry of defense said that after wrapping up the recruitment drive in september there were more than fifteen hundred applicants in the first four weeks and that it's too early to make a conclusion but this young man says he simply can't be convinced my grandparents

were in the air force actually during the second world war of the time enjoyed was not such a bad idea to be joining the forces because they were fighting a war against fascism i don't agree with the way the. food is used as a force aggressor. and this morning that was arrested to commemorate the conscientious objectors to military service those who would exercise their right to refuse to kill you at the time of the first world war for instance they faced a restaurant jeers from some a society who view them as cowards but times have indeed changed. a decade of fighting in iraq and afghanistan has made the british war weary a most people join the armed forces to be in the peace business not in the war business because such is a threat to their livelihood nobody wants to be in a war because to be in a war activists have also lashed out at recruitment campaign started at sixteen and

seventeen year olds who according to one recent study a more suitable to post-traumatic stress disorder at the moment were asking a sixteen year old who we don't trust to point to drink a pint of beer in the pub we don't trust to fight in a general election we're asking our president to make a very far reaching legal commitment to career like having a baby carriage for an account for the ministry of defense. the report completely ignores the benefits and opportunities that a military career offers young people but for this young man it's a career path he is a ready to change his mind about it's like trying to do the job and you are going to have to show people that if you're joining the army no you're not going to be sent abroad to shoot people you've done nothing against. the source of your article . and your glanton is a thirty one british soldier who refused to serve a second tour in afghanistan on moral grounds and will throw into

a military prison he believes people aren't fed up with the troops but the politicians who send them overseas to fight wars they themselves started because i was with had questions been the military is just not for them it's nor it's not the oxford debating society obviously you're just told to crack on and politics have nothing to do with you why defense i mean offensive capability and i mean invasions and the use of drones in special forces which is increasingly the trend clearly people want to be secure. and that's not all people the public generally have a problem with what they have a problem with it is repeated. operations along the lines of iraq afghanistan and libya nearly syrian people are not sympathetic to those in the corridors of power who stop these words and this is the reason why we've seen increasingly because of the law and eyes ation of of the military and you can call it the hero or as asian and you see this increasingly this very jingoistic kind of building up and placing on a pedestal of military personnel and out from

a different story. mainly it's a problem with cost estimates they use the wrong data they start building and eventually the run out of money and then talks peers have to pick up the bill. currently germany has one of the biggest construction sectors in europe but all around the country there's evidence that those in charge of the purse strings on the best to make building decisions this building site will eventually become books premie a concert hall however it's already over ten times its original budget it's set to cost close to a billion euro it's not just the grand artistic projects that have cost the big money here in ne tourist information booth has already cost taxpayers around one and a half million euro for the ultimate in modern german construction white elephants look no further than right here at the brandenburg airport grossly over budget

the opposition has again delays of want on whether to even attend all the searching members of the western banks where a national coalition resigned over the planned participation in the summit and let's say the opposition bloc doesn't have the support of the syrian people anyway in syria you have an electoral process there is a presidential election this year and the big problem for the opposition is that they don't have the support on the ground in syria because they don't represent anyone other than western powers the transatlantic alliance nato the gulf cooperation council so there are support in syria is very very minimal and that's why they don't want to take part in the actual election process in syria writing process so this is a big problem because how do you negotiate go see it with people who essentially represent western interests and don't represent the interests of the syrian people so they would rather not have to enter into any kind of rational negotiation and

the reason for that of course is that they have no political program they've never had a political program they have no economic program and if they had their way they would simply destroy the country get in there tear the country apart privatized everything and sell it out to the gulf cooperation council countries particularly saudi arabia and qatar and they would serve western corporate interests. moscow says it's preparing to file several legal claims to a court in sydney goal over the detention of a russian fishing trawler that's after talks between officials from both sides was postponed moscow is demanding an explanation from the west african nation over the detention of its toilet which is accused of illegal fishing vessel and its eighty two crew members were seized at the weekend of the coast of guinea bissau russian negotiators say you go out and given concrete explanations to support its accusations sixty two sailors are still trapped on the ship with the spores confiscated. and now some of that wild news in brief this hour in the trial of
