he's well aware of the standoff between nato and russia. it makes him apprehensive about what kind of future awaits his sons. of course my wife and i often talk about the future. we would like to see a bright future without crises. and. we want everybody to live in peace and we want everything to be just fine. the i.c.b.m.'s are accompanied by a combat escort but would today we have eyes covered ground very difficult conditions for a thrust forward to kill i do hope everything will pass off without any incidents. trucks carrying nuclear warheads lined up in a quiet glade the snowy forest provides good kemah flash for them together these mobile missile launches a cold and had gotten russian on the lingo they need to be ready for action at any moment. right dress section. come on major section chief says all reporting unit is ready. fully. prepared the aggregate for. for haste. the intercontinental ballistic missile known as the s.s. twenty five to make this move a twenty one meters long it's almost two meters in diameter and weighs about for

they suggest that nato should now simply keep quiet. listen. >> these should have been treated with respect, but as captured documents. so the fact that nato is trying to explain them away makes them look even more stupid and frankly, i think that nato is drawing more attention to itself by not just saying, you know, we lost control of these critical documents and trying to not make it look like it was some inadvertent mistake. >> it looks like we will hear more from nato. they tell us there may be more from the investigation as early as tomorrow, shep. >> shepard: dangerous place for americans now, jonathan, thank you. less than two weeks to go until the next two republic primaries. the latest polls show mitt romney and rick santorum are in essence neck in neck in michigan. the state where romney was born and governor and where he once called a win a must but doesn't anymore. we will go live to michigan in just a few minutes. first to arizona where mitt romney is apparently doing better. he leads rick santorum by 16 points in a new nbc

rest of nato right now and it may be that either it's time to get up and go or the nato needs to reaffirm its commitment for at least one more year are so quickly to clearly just because a combat role is going to be ending does not mean that u.s. troops will be leaving they'll still be advising assisting what do you think if you had to make a guess that timeline is going to be like that how many troops are going to be left after mid two thousand and thirteen. well sixty thousand are going to be there at the beginning of two thousand and thirteen my wager would be that would mean we may see that fall as far as by half by by middle of two thousand and thirteen in the maybe a little bit more after that and into the twenty's and teens by two thousand and fourteen i mean we went down very fast in iraq when we finally began what drawing troops ok and then any comments on the air strike that was a u.s. assisted airstrike today in the philippines they say took out their number one terrorist target i mean i mention this is the top of our show to the we've had special ops forces about hundreds of t

nato appears to be speeding up its plans to end its combat mission in afghanistan. france, the u.s., and the wider alliances said they want afghan forces to be in control of combat forces by mid-2013, a year earlier than expected. in another strategic development, nato defense ministers have agreed on germany as the base for missile defense shield. >> the command center for the controversial missile shield is to be located at the air force base in western germany. nato says the system will help defend europe from missiles launched in the middle east. but moscow has been slow to accept the idea. >> russia is reluctant at the moment, but it is important that russia participates in order to make clear that this project is not aimed at russia. >> afghanistan is another issue troubling the defense ministers. washington and paris have announced plans to shift their focus from fighting to training as early as next year. no big deal, nato officials say. >> based on all i have heard and all i have seen, i think all allies and all partners stick to the decisions we took in li

and nato forces are. and are creating so much animosity among the afghan people and i think this latest example is just one example of so many that have happened over the years and i think the taliban understand that. we're just a little. force i'm awfully sorry the sky was broken up to there was going great. service so much we got the gist of what you should live from your car but like i did more activist medea benjamin thank you but. after a wave of hack attacks took out several u.s. federal websites officials were quick to point out there's a new terror battlefront that's the internet the worry from dater experts though is that the threats being blown out of proportion by those making big bucks by playing on people's digital distress from off court that story tonight. it may seem like a quiet day in america but to some it's the scene of a raging battle invisible to the naked eye well there is a war underway right now on the internet this is cyber war is the u.s. ready for a full scale cyber war a quest

that is a charge in a secret nato report. and how much is a friend really worth? facebook is about to find out if its success with users can be repeated in the market. welcome to our viewers on pbs in the u.s. and also around the globe. over the past year, egypt has been no stranger to violence. today erupted on a massive and deadly scale at a football match. fans of rival teams rushed onto the field, hurling objects. been number known to have died stands at 70, but many are also injured. >> egypt's worst football disaster, at a time when the country is already in political turmoil. the deadly clashes between football rivals have shaken the country to the core. it all started at the final whistle. fans of the team in portside streamed onto the pitch to celebrate the victory. but it quickly turned violent. first, they ran for their lives. and then the home fans charged in to attack the visiting supporters. this is not football, this is war, said one of the fans. is this what sparked it? egyptian tv keeps playing this footage of fans throwing flares at the moment of

all right rick rose off from the group stop nato thanks for your time. more than two hundred thousand people have taken to the streets of moscow st petersburg and other cities to voice their political views ahead of the march fourth presidential vote in a russia party's peter all for has more. well saturday was a day of demonstrations here in the russian capital we saw a march and a rally by opposition supporters a large group of them meeting in the center of the city and marching here to block my a square which bloodline has really become the central focus point for opposition protesters here in moscow this is the second time that opposition protesters have taken to pull last night a square far fewer the this time than last but of course the the weather a big deciding factor in not cripplingly mode temperatures here in the russian capital in fact the organizers of the protest here shortened the events that were going to be happening just to make it more comfortable for people who had come out in the cold minus twenty times on saturday here in moscow. so

but all those nato strikes necessary for the security of the country. no they had may both afghanistan and iraq are much less secure you know this kind of thing obviously doesn't win hearts and minds this happened in the same area were afghan soldier recently killed british troops unquote and i think because the us is playing a poll out of the movie next day for him because the rangers are moving their troops out we can expect more airstrikes to more civilian casualties in afghanistan isn't that an unfortunate fact of war that civilians will die in any warfare. we always hear this to me this is a strong argument against war. civilians you can't just say well this is war and it's ok to make war against civilians and this kind of thing have bellew or. if it was your family if it was your house you would have a different attitude about. it is being considered of course by the nato led military coalition in afghanistan they are aware of these tragedies and promised to reduce the civilian casualties but despite that according to the u.n. a record number of c

well it's a very dangerous situation because if there are troops on the ground and nato is denying any involvement or authorization for there. the possibility of an escalation of terrorist action is much greater. also reminiscent of what happened in libya reports that the u.s. and its allies are looking into supporting the syrian opposition including the arming of the rebels and creating a humanitarian corridor that was a world of course we heard during the libyan crisis this does sound suspiciously like that no fly zone doesn't it but we saw over libya. well any attempt to justify many military intervention. and it opening of a humanitarian corridor could very easily be. distorted and used for other purposes. this is a very very delicate area very delicate moment it's a very dangerous situation and i think it's imperative that all sides exercise complete restraint and reason and i think russia's call for dialogue is the only approach which will prevent this from escalating beyond anyone's ability to control will that happen if the opposition of being encouraged by nato states not to e

over the last thirteen years or so and it was really kicked off by a commission that met after the nato intervention over kosovo in one nine hundred ninety nine what was interesting about that was of course that intervention was conducted without a u.n. security council mandate. and the way that international law. in this respect is that the u.n. security council is in effect the authority under un law that can grant approval or give a mandate to a state or a group of states to intervene in the way that we're discussing up until kosovo up until the responsibility to protect report there was no doubt that this was based on the idea of sovereign states having the right to intervene if they felt it was necessary or appropriate i think what i want to pay as it's evolved since nine hundred ninety nine and certainly the two thousand and one commission process the way that it's are involved is the jurisprudential underpinnings now of the un security council reaching a deliberate reaching a mandate to intervene has shifted from the basic understanding that a collection of states have a right to

weapons given by nato to afghan forces have been sold and given away. they find their way in taliban hands via arms deals in pakistan. >> more on the possible fallout from this report. this is a senior fellow at the center for american progress. thank you for coming in. these allegations have been around for a long time. is having them in this secret leaked report making a difference? >> i do not think so. this war has been going on for 10 years. at least for the past five, we have heard about pakistani support for the taliban. there are reports that indicate afghan security forces, who are supposedly partners of the united states and nato, are working with elements of the television, and some of the weapons we are providing are showing up in pakistan and other places. it demonstrates a real problem that cuts against the grain of the happy talk and sugarcoating we hear about the afghan war. >> leon panetta, the defense secretary, says that u.s. forces will be out of their combat role next year. if there is more chaos after those forces pull back, what h

what does it say when the nato commander on the ground says no nato troops, no u.s. troops, no european troops, can go into afghan ministries right now, because they might be shot in the back of their heads like they two u.s. military officers. is that progress? >> this is a temporary measure to make sure that we do all we can to secure our people. they will return as soon as the situation allows. i would also like to stress the very tragic incidents we have seen do not define the relationship between isif and afghan security forces. on a daily basis, 130,000 troops cooperate with more than 300,000 afghan security forces, and a cooperation based on trust and confidence. >> unfortunately i see that trust and confidence going away. but let's move to syria. this is another troubling moment for nato and nato's history. and you're the secretary-general. we know the role that nato played in saving thousands of lives in libya. nato went ahead with a no will have fly zone, provided weapons. what are you doing in syria? because thousands of people are getting killed. >> it's

but having them in this secret, leaked in nato report, is it important? >> at least for the last five years, we have heard about pakastani support for the taliban. i think the most damaging part of this report are the notes that indicate afghan security forces and officials in the afghan government are working with elements of the taliban and some of the weapons we are providing the afghan security forces are in pakistan and other places. it demonstrates our real problem that cuts into the happy talk in the sugar coating. >> leon panetta said that u.s. forces will be out of their combat role within the next year. what happens to pakistan? >> i think instability will rise. a lot of the problems we had pre-9/11 could return again. we have the situation right now we're over the last two or three years, nato forces redeployed from eastern afghanistan to parts of southern afghanistan, and there has been an increase in instability. my biggest fear right now is not only do we have an insecure environment in certain parts of afghanistan. we really do not have a s
