albanian population they make up some ninety percent of the population here in the minority community of around one hundred thousand people. around fifty percent of the electorate who vote in elections today but the majority of them will be albanians. divided they say they do want to vote to change their everyday lives they say they face daily persecution and they live in very poor living conditions they suffer high unemployment a lack of basic amenities like electricity and there's a lack of freedom of movement across the region here but they don't necessarily want to engage in the cause of an electoral system and of course there is then the crew from better brains to boycott these elections so what's expected to happen is that living in the north of the region and who is still directly linked to serbia by rosen very much looks to belgrade will not vote in these elections but do you sabs living in the something place and the full cost of geographically from where

they have a choice to engage in this electoral votes if they are to change their lives and that they will go to the polls today so integration remains a long way off the wall many albanians here are very optimistic about these elections billing them as historic in the start of a new unified era that sense of optimism is not shed among the serbian community there are several crucial problems that need to be addressed here and cost. of unemployment according to some estimates it runs as high as forty to fifty percent of the population the current unemployed and cost of zero has europe's youngest population the economy here is one of the weakest in europe and then there's crime and corruption food to be endemic at every level here in the in kosovo and then of course the candidate list itself. several candidates from across major parties carlyon dress occasions for crimes ranging from corruption to peace of office and

indeed one candidate the leader of the a a k that's the alliance of the future of traditionally called space third biggest party is actually in the hague at the moment on a retrial in front. of you know. how to deny and you legs that's the rule of law mission here and members of anti corruption n.g.o.s he said that these men should not be standing in these elections to discredit and undermine the legitimacy of the spec. and minister told r.t. that the region serves have no chance of a better life because most candidates in the election albanians who are sympathetic to. the a billion lists contain people who unfortunately were under trial or participated in criminal actions or committed crimes in the late ninety's against serving community on the territory of course will and middle here if you really want to move towards reconciliation of serbs and

albanians what kind of kind and such people in the future in conversations with state officials we emphasize that is a black hole there is crime in the spheres of money laundering and human drugs and arms trafficking and it's no secret all the international organizations working there know about it our viewpoint is absolutely clear we will never recognize courcelles independence but we are ready to discuss the issues problematic for both ethnic communities in this particular case serbs and albanians and the current situation of binion's have received all they demanded but on the other hand serbs of course all the hard it's absolutely unacceptable. the u.s. justice department is looking into cyber attacks on companies that have cut off their nations to wiki leaks the whistleblower supporters having waging an online war against firms like visa master card pay pal the company's all suffered online outages after a wiki leaks founder julian assange and his bank account was frozen but he's currently in jail in london fighting extradition to sweden on sex crime not

a geisha and the hackers are promising more attacks he was going to check on reports the phones which of cut off what he thinks will continue to support other controversial groups. the u.s. government has presented no charges against julian a song but that hasn't stopped government officials from reportedly putting pressure at the highest level to cut off weekly leaks money supply a senior executive of america's money transfer giant pay pal said the state department had written to the company claiming the all my whistleblower was involved in illegal activities so pay pal along with massive card and b. cell are no longer accepting cash donations for the controversial website it's the threat of this has some impact on national security and when you say that in the united states everybody. you know what's their parents and they do what they're told. and so i think that it's a misconception in some cases that people think that the u.s.

is purely a money driven society it's not the government has certain parag it is particularly over national security no court ruling no legal procedures were needed to crackdown on the radio going ization later pay-pal backtracked on its statement it had acted upon a government's request mastercard and visa were most of a sieve on the subject but the general explanation they give for not accepting donation payments for we kill it says that the site quote encourages promotes facilitates or instruct others to engage in illegal activity but on the other hand nine their master card more said i have any problems processing donations for say nuku clark's clan racist movement and his tsunami a history of extreme violence with the goals of racial segregation and white supremacy and yet it takes seconds to make a donation to the klan a number of senators including the chairman of the homeland security committee joe

lieberman were quick to pat those companies on the back for cutting off cash to weak elites but americans cracked down on the organization that appears to be fighting for transparency and freedom of speech leaves many asking what happens to american values of freedom of expression these are very difficult things for us to face as americans this is not what we believe in our country we believe it's a country that respects the markers are going to be shown that we're the opposite is not easy but us politicians do not shy away from flashing their democratic values when rooting for a chinese fighter for freedoms he won the nobel peace prize so there you see the governor of west over the so-called international community. is targeted for having released information. what what you should be doing and you have got a case where the same people will be pushing for a candidate which is

a dissident within the people's republic of china so they are playing double standards with that regard some even suggest why not give the prize to julian a song which means he has freedom of speech will surely. be a rational explanation for giving it's to wiki leaks others can't help asking if us officials are so down and we kill leaks why aren't they after the new york times in the same way or the british newspaper the guardian or germany's they're speaking those are the we kill its partner papers one other incredible thing about the prosecution is that so many people are falsely reporting that wiki leaks has dumped two hundred fifty thousand documents that's not true at all they only were putting stuff up on their web page when you have the new york times or der spiegel. or the guardian or a u.s. we're putting up. so what could possibly be the legal rationale for going after we

can leaks and not going after the new york times there are a lot of unanswered questions about weiqi leaks one thing is on the surface the us shows it can interpret democratic values however it wants depending on its games going to check on our team washington d.c. . says the arrest of doing a song says the west doesn't follow the democratic rules it preaches the russian prime minister rebuffed that the u.s. criticism of democracy in russia during a media briefing alongside his french counterpart. chief about the informational not renounce site wiki leaks did you really think the u.s. diplomatic corps is a transparent source of information as for mr song if you're pushing for democracy push all the way why then did they put mr solution jail is that democracy at work there is a saying about the poor calling the kettle black that would be my response to all us counterparts. on the day's news dot com has
