went to sleep hungry it was conflict and a lack of education means it's up to children to work their families keep we look at their struggle for survival. and also coming up on the program tonight as the credits roll and swat sniggers moscow visit we bring you the best scenes from the governator is russian capital adventure. the only young boys but they're forced to become the men of the house years of war in afghanistan have robbed an entire generation of their fathers and left deep scars in the country artist paul asli has been meeting afghan children who sacrifice everything to help keep their families alive. for a few hours each fine day these three kids get to remember they still just children of. them kind flying is more than just a pastime it's a sport of skill all who master it all equal and for

a few brief moments forget that they live in abject poverty. my name is once a dream 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 they went to sleep hungry it was his only thirteen years old but as the man of the house his responsibility started 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 dream takes his bucket and joins the tens of thousands of children heading to the country streets to make their meager living washing cars but despite their stolen childhoods they are the lucky ones are a year ago why did 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 watch this car. is a piece of color 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 care about eight dollars but in some days there's no work yesterday it was no work so i'm going to go there but for some children it's easiest to come to the streets and that's what they cost a 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 these 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 going into war

without skill or without education for every one hundred million dollars of foreign money spent in the military only seven million dollars goes toward social projects you can use to do to international community and big 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 is it getting off the ground. karpal. tough talk some difficult decisions are waiting serbia u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton is there in a bid to persuade the country to make concessions in its refusal to recognize its breakaway territory of kosovo she's done with courage and much sort of to e.u. membership the visits part of clinton's tour of the balkans and follows a previous stop to bosnia there she also tried to put pressure on the country's

serbian minority to embrace the form which will eventually stripped of their autonomy most serbs scattered around the territory of the former yugoslavia still remember that nato sided with the muslims during the ninety's ethnic conflict and can't forgive us led bombings of serbian targets to or about this tonight with that we should get rid of a cheater balkans political expert thanks for being on the line with us tonight's pre-show what is the u.s. trying to achieve in the region do you think what is their interest there and some would say they're interfering. oh indeed they're going to figured right from the early one nine hundred ninety s. and as you correctly said they conducted a war where the first award. led by a known european power against a european country i'm talking of course about the nato bombing of one thousand nine hundred nine but they've also blown the republicans subscribing bosnia so they've clearly taken sides in what has been a civil war and an ethnic conflict so they're not seen as some selfless benevolent power there but what the us one sister controlled the region and its resources they

have build the largest military base in europe in the occupied province of kosovo also in boston and herzegovina they've taken over the former yugoslav military airport base at tuzla and by the way have already used it in the wars against iraq and in afghanistan but it's also clearly the. place talking about surveillance cameras being often mentioned just just now mate so you membership how serious is the serbian quest to join nato and all the e.u. do you think and what concessions about great ready to make in order to join them. yes well here we have to make some distinction between the government in belgrade too which was brought to power after all of our approach. just over ten years ago in which nato powers definitely took sides so it's

a very nato friendly government if you want but when you come down to people i think completely different fields especially on nato i don't think anyone wants to go into nato i mean the question as to resave who are they going to be defending defended against the soviet union no longer exists there is no warsaw pact i don't think that russia has any interest of conducting military operations in the balkans so i think nato is very unpopular there when it comes to either one tends to think of economic and political and cultural cultural considerations and that in a way makes sense but the sort of conditions the e.u. and the us making. does does indicate that this is not an economic and cultural situation but one of political pressure to gain concessions out of the region in order to control basically its resources and including its

people but to get rid of it looking back to the recent history books back in one thousand nine hundred six hillary clinton did and she visited bosnia for the first time nigerian that are a democratic primary campaign then in two thousand and eight she said she had to land under sniper fire but t.v. footage that we saw showed that she was greeted peacefully enough at the airport what was the wisdom do you think behind those comments she made. to be honest i mean she she got the year wrong and there certainly was no ping and there was fire but that ended with the date cord which the us themselves implemented around. this time in fact in one thousand nine hundred ninety five when she was there you quite correctly say during nine hundred ninety six so there was absolutely no sniping at that time hillary clinton pretended to have been in bosnia a year later well she was wrong i think she just wanted to say she was courageous

she was you know entering a region still at war and. some requirements of the united states to interfere and impose some of its will close a bit against us but the last question takes me back almost to the first of all i asked just today we had a clinton mention that since ninety five the u.s. has invested one point five billion dollars in bosnia or what do you think lies behind the support and the sponsorship. well where have they not invested this and with whom where they invested it the position in boston here and herzegovina has not improved people want a job because people don't just want talks of democracy and human rights frequently undefined people want what they already had then they had it when boston i was part of yugoslavia this is an easily comparison base they want jobs they want

freedom to travel. all they want to health service that functions this one doesn't function anywhere near as well as the one he was loved bosnia did so there is a definite comparison factor if the u.s. really wants well for the people and for the region and then you should look at these very important factor that are very important in any state budget every law and certainly should have relevant szabolcs and split it legs but on a line from munich thanks thing that. if it were georgian defense minister forced into exile after falling out with president saakashvili trying to return to politics he helped found a new party called don't give up it's an alliance of georgia's main opposition leaders are actually okruashvili was sacked in two thousand and seven for accusing georgia's leader of physically removing his opponents sparking protests in the capital tbilisi hundreds of thousands of people demanded seconds for his

resignation but the protests were broken up and he was reelected a year later one of the founders of the political alliance stressed they want to restore the ties they once had that was are the program that every morning george's own interests demands that we look straight into the face of reality georgia will never be a successful country without normal relations with russia i see so in the interests of our people and all our friendly countries and the whole civilized world see the same does the improvement of relations with russia should become a basic principle for our political team the circus really regime leaves behind itself a tough heritage a broken territorial integrity and we should try to normalize the issue to reach success we should start dialogue with the cousins in a city and to restore trust otherwise we will not be able to move ahead only interest is the basis for future integration what more will do is a brief now tonight when the number of dead from a train crash in eastern ukraine is risen to forty two according to local officials

the casualties one a bus at a railroad crossing with a train smashed into them and dragged vehicle for at least thirty metres it's fear the number of victims could still increase as many of you injured are in a critical condition police say the bus driver ignored a warning siren and passengers request to stop and try to cross the tracks. in a cargo plane carrying supplies for nato forces in afghanistan crashed in mountains eleven kilometers from kabul nine people on board the plane on route from background the main u.s. airfield in the country the fate of the crew is not yet no. chilean officials have said the fire. stage of the rescue operation of miners trapped underground for two months is to begin within hours now a special lifting system is being tested and is said to work well rescuers will determine the order in which each of the thirty three trapped workers will be brought up the air force is standing by to take the miners to hospital. he's already saved the earth at a movie now is trying to do it for real wrapping up his moscow visit california
