gresley of march through the arctic the rest breaker slows down to a crawl explorers are on a delicate mission to find a suitable eyes filled with arctic twenty turned station and importantly not to damage it a helicopter is deployed into action. five potential eyes filled had been spotted by satellite long before the mission started now it's time to do probe for the best sport the i love the by the bow looking at least twenty five kilometers but most importantly the ice should be big robust enough to sustain a group of the team people two dogs and several tons of equipment for as long as a year. the first storm is west of the island of brown the ice is tested and. know the flow is rejected the ice is too theme we go further north the drill

plunges down we need to switch is good but the field is too rocky for the cam we return to the ship just as. the voyage will be long and fascinating the explorers cheer each other up but look disappointed makes treme hot summer is being felt in the arctic this year they say is similar to two thousand and seven which marked the peak of global warming. but the mission is getting harder there are fewer and fewer suitable ice fields every year before we could find up to forty of them but now we're calling the whole arctic in search of one at dawn be explorers decide to play the wild card they try for the last potential ice flow in this area otherwise they will have for the north pole the great god that loves to let me know you don't know how big i think that you know you start reading it. but i was kind

of caught on something that would be good to. get beyond that crap. but no need for a rescue operation this is the ice for a little. reporting period we have just found a suitable field mined by thirteen kilometers wide and the arch is about three meters chik. now that the platform was found i had five days of unloading a dozen houses a sauna several tractors about a thousand barrels with fuel and of course professional equipment will be floating on the ice for a year the crew will work day and night the dogs are also keeping themselves busy at dawn when everybody was still asleep they chased away a polar bear and many of the challenges faced them in the next twelve months for these very tough expedition. r.t.e.

north caucuses region. a lot of bombings and gun battles were fought for a tease attacks on this marketplace and also the moscow metro bombings earlier this year which killed thirty eight people and it's his link that his organization was also thought to be linked to the international terrorist network al qaeda itself has been a terrorist to terrorist crackdown going on in the region and since the beginning of this year for it to say three hundred suspected terrorists have been killed and another four hundred fifty arrested. there with our team live from moscow still ahead for you forced to fend for their families. i will never forget one day there was no job i came home and there was no food my brothers and sisters and my mother we went to sleep hungry flicked and a lack of education means it's up to children to our and their families keep with

look at their struggle for survival in afghanistan. and as the credits roll on shorts and eggers moscow visit we bring you the best scenes from the governor's russian capital adventure. but first all sides an ethnically diverse bosnia must work together and embrace political reform if they want nato and e.u. membership that's the warning from u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton during her visit to the balkans many balls and muslims in croats want a strong central government but serves living in the country fear this will rob them of their autonomy serbs also believe the u.s. keeps putting pressure on them and resentment lingers over the nato forces joining the ninety's ethnic conflict on the side of a muslim population and bombing the capital sarajevo before more of clinton's visit to the balkans we're now joined from washington by. thank you for being with us this hour why do serbs oppose integration so much. well

it's the issue of the war was fought over in the first place back in one thousand nine hundred two it was the attempt by the muslim leadership to create a strong central government it was the muslims who are not an outright majority in the country would be dominant and this is the issue that the war was fought over the inability of the three communities to actually have some sort of power sharing arrangement that they could trust each other each other and the muslims had pushed through the independence proposal unilaterally and had basically neglected the serbs and croats shove them off it aside and said this is this is our country now and the serbs and croats would have none of it and we had three and a half years of open warfare with a hundred thousand people dead and this is a very very significant issue in bosnia and it is not just going to go away because somebody decrees it needs to. come back in one thousand nine hundred ninety six clinton visited bosnia and said that she had to land under sniper fire but we sought peaceful greetings at the airport do you think that clinton had reasons to

keep tensions simmering at the time. well i'm not really sure when she made that statement i think the statement was made in a memoir during an electoral campaign a few years later just to make things more dramatic can make her appear more brave or important than she really was by the time she landed in one thousand nine hundred six there were no had been no hostilities for months so everybody is well aware that her story was just entirely fake the united states government has been keeping the tension simmering because of this constant repetitive insistence on creating a strong central government which is. not only a problem that caused a war to begin with but a problem because the date and constitution the peace treaty it at the united states wrote is explicitly against a strong central government so we have a situation which the united states is running a policy it's contrary to the treaty that it had designed for you thing that you

think the u.s. has created another puppet state on the continent. i would quote of this occasion the words of a former representative tom lantos who's passed away a few years ago but back in two thousand and seven during a hearing at the state congress with the state department officials he was saying that jihad ists of all colors and hues in the world need to take note that we are once again creating is the islamic state in the heart of europe he was referring to kosovo but the once again was an unmistakable reference to bosnia i think the united states tried to create a client state in bosnia that would compensate for the conflicts with the muslim world elsewhere and they could point to it and say look here's a country in which we help the muslims you should be grateful to us it hasn't really worked well so far but they refuse to acknowledge a mistake now with nato forces were targeting the former yugoslav military some of the bombs hit civilian targets embassies in belgrade markets in serbia refugee

camps we've heard no of this so apologies do you think that will ever happen. i don't think the united states government will ever willingly issue an apology for any of its actions now some say the serbian government is trading the country's past for future e.u. membership do you think serbs agree with that. i think this sunday riots and saturday's peaceful demonstration involved ten thousand people are proof enough the current serbian government has very little support and even less legitimacy among the people of serbia i think it's the people of serbia want to better life they want to freely trade and communicate with everybody else but at that the price of their dignity or their culture or their country serbian historian new bugs from washington d.c. thank you very much for your input there. now they're only young boys who are forced to become the man of the house years of war in afghanistan have robbed an entire generation of their fathers and left deep scars on the country are just

pulls away or has been meeting afghan children who sacrificed everything to help their families survive. for a few hours each find in the street you get to remember they still just children. they're kind flying is more than just a past time it's a sport of skill where all the monsters are equal and for a few brief moments forget that they live in abject poverty. my name is once again i'm the father of the house i will never forget one day there was no job i came home and there was no food my brothers and sisters and my mother she went to sleep hungry. he's only thirteen years old but as the man of the house his responsibilities start early at six in the morning. my sister goodbye. goodbye my brother. from the first born

this is a typical poor kabul neighborhood children with runny noses dirty feet and crawling stomachs every day was a dean takes his bucket and joins the tens of thousands of children heading to the country's streets to make the meager living washing cars but despite this stolen childhoods they are the lucky ones are a year ago my dude was martyred he was working with the police and die during a rocket explosion. this is very very hard work i make about a dollar a day sometimes the other boys are fighting with me they say they want to wash this car. is obviously kuala is twelve he manages to bring a few dollars more into the home but it's barely enough to feed his mother and seven sisters to each other every day i wake up so early my house is very far from here and a good day i can earn about eight dollars but in some days there is no work yesterday it was no work so i don't really go there but for some children it's easiest to come to the streets and being in the same

a classroom made playground the university of life. most parents don't want their children to come here to school that's because these young boys and girls are the only breadwinners in their families and spending just one hour in class could mean no food on the table that night fifty seven percent of the population of afghanistan is below twenty five years. majority of them they are born during the war in grain going to war without scale without education for every one hundred million dollars of foreign money spent on the military only seventy million dollars goes towards social projects even less to the children international community and they get the state of afghanistan has to pay and has to focus more on the children six million children are at risk in afghanistan of sexual abuse violence and harsh child labor and with precious little being done to help afghanistan's future generations see little chance of their lives ever getting off the ground. are to
