to run aggressive march through the arctic the resi ice breaker slows down to a crawl explorers are on a delicate mission to find a suitable eyes filled with arctic twenty turn station and importantly not to damage it a helicopter is deployed into action. for 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 brandon the ice is tested and. know the flow is rejected the ice is too thin we go further north the drill

plunges down we metres which is good but the field is too rocky for the cam we return to the shape just. the voyage will be long and fascinating the explorers cheer each other up but look disappointed big stream a 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 every great god that loved it so they know you've done. that tell you that.

that was the helicopter oh i thought that would be good. if that's the price. but no need for a rescue operation these is the ice. we have just found a suitable field nine by thirteen kilometers wide and the ice is about three meters thick a good feelings will normally work to me and now that the platform is found i had a 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 on average but he was still asleep they chased away a polar bear and many other challenges faced them in the next twelve months for these very tough expedition. r.t.e.

and sisters and my mother we went to sleep hungry conflict and a lack of education and it's up to children to work and their families came we look at their struggle for survival. and as the credits roll and sorts niggas moscow visit we bring you the best things from the governor eight is 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 kosovo she don't like the carrot of much sought after even membership visits part of clinton's tour of the balkans and follows a previous stop in bosnia there she also tried to put pressure on the country's serbian minority to embrace political reform which will eventually strip them of their autonomy most serbs scattered around the former yugoslavia still remember how the nato sided with the muslims during the ninety's conflict and can't forgive the u.s. led bombings of serbian targets michigan have exposed to me as

a balkans political expert he thinks the serbian government and people are loads in their goals for their country we have to make some distinction between the government in belgrade to which was brought to power after all were put. 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 fields especially on nature i don't think anyone wants to go into nato i mean the question is to resave who are they going to be friendly friendly to against the soviet union no longer exists there is no warsaw pact i don't feel 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 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 here 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 have been they had it in 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 functions this one doesn't function as well as the one he was love bosnia did so there is a definite comparison factor if the u.s.

really wants. for the people and for the region then you should look at these very important factor that are very important in any state. the thoughts are of michigan very coverage of ha balkans political experts think the valley around tonight. there are young boys but they're forced to become the men of the house years of war in afghanistan of rob an entire generation of their fathers and left deep scars on the country and his policies lee has been meeting afghan children who sacrifice everything to help their families survive. for a few hours each final these two kids get to remember they still just children talk . to them in the confines more than just all style it's a sport of skill or who master taught in school and for a few brief moments forget that they live in abject poverty. my name is was a dream and 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 and was that he's 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 dean takes his bucket and joins the tens of thousands of children heading to the country's streets to make the median living washing cars but despite this stolen childhoods they are the lucky ones where year ago i 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 wash this car. that is a piece of quality 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 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 i'm going to undergo that but for some children it's easiest to come to the streets and big doesn't make a playground big 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 seemed 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 and growing 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 toward social

projects even more so to the trade 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 them afghanistan's future generation. i see little chance of their lives ever getting off the ground. karpal. former georgian defense minister forced into exile after falling out with president saakashvili is trying to return to politics he helped found a new party called don't give up when alliance of georgia's main opposition leaders are actually a crush billy 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 sacco's philly's resignation then but the protests were broken up and he was re-elected a year later one of the founders of the political alliance trust they want to
