a car class in the north caucuses where a suicide bomber drove a car packed full of explosives into the marketplace detonating it killing nineteen people and wounding around one hundred very serious attacks and possibly with links to a wider terrorist organization so says alexander board macof the head of russia's security services are still here now. the chair attack has been solved three suspects have been arrested and they are now in jail the organizer of the blast is a close ally of the chechen militant of should google's gang is believed to have carried out more than ten bombings in the neighboring republic of finger and numerous attacks on the police force two other suspects who put up unarmed resistance to their rush to work the name dr model of appears all over the place when talking about these attacks dozens of attacks within the north caucuses region . a lot of bombings and gun battles were fought for

this struggle for survival ahead tonight and. as the credits roll of sorts a nigger's moscow visit we bring you the best scenes from the govern a russian capital adventure. tough talks and difficult decisions are awaiting serbia u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton is there in a bid to persuade the country to make concessions and its refusal to recognize its breakaway territory of course of she's dangling the carrot of much sought after membership the visit is part of clinton's tour of the balkans and follows a previous stop in bosnia there she also tried to put pressure on the countries surveyed minority to embrace political reform which will eventually strip them of their autonomy most serbs scattered around the former yugoslavia will remember how nato sided with the muslims during the ninety's ethnic conflict and can't forgive the u.s. led bombings of serbian targets michigan delivered shay balkans political expert told me things that the serbian government and people are at odds in their goals for their country. we have to make some distinction between the government in

belgrade here 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 they have completely different feelings 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 defend 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 and all the political and cultural cultural considerations and that in a way makes sense but the sort of conditions the e.u.

and the us are making does indicate that this is not an economic and cultural situation but one of political pressure to gain concessions out of the region what the u.s. wants is to control the region and its resources the position in boston and herzegovina has not improved people want jobs people don't just want talks of democracy and human rights frequently undefined people want what they already had then they had it too and bosnia 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 that functions this one doesn't function as well as the one he was love most needed 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. michigan full of ha balkan's political expert talking to me. they're all young boys but they're forced to become the men of the house years of war in afghanistan a robbed an entire generation of their fathers and left deep scars on the country are his paul asli has been meeting afghan children who sacrificed everything to help their family survive. for a few hours each find these two kids good to remember they still just children. to their kind flying is more than just a pastime it's a sport of skill all the masters are 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 and my brothers and sisters and my mother we went to sleep hungry it was his only thirteen years old but as the man of the house his

seven sisters so it's harder every day i wake up so early my house is very far from here and a good day i can go about eight dollars but in some days there's no work yesterday it was no work so don't really go there but for some children it's easiest to come to this means a big mess and 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 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 seven million dollars goes toward social projects you can use to the tutoring international community and they get the state of afghanistan has to pay and has to focus more on the children six million
