a peaceful commemorative rally know that. some people have reacted very violently the death of the spartak moscow. i do believe that some of their dissatisfaction is understandable but it is unacceptable when we have aggression with firecrackers that burst into flames and ordinary people suffer the police have already arrested those responsible for the murder of your spirit over and will arrest others everyone is equal before the law the fan question was shot dead last week during a mass brawl most of those gathered in a city's minute square simply wanted to pay their respects and demand a full investigation into the death of one of their own but take into account the fact that the suspect in this homicide is from the north caucasus and the story it's an ugly nationalist twist according to officials members of the country's various nationalist movements and not for profit and instigated the violence.

i. saw you but there we saw that radical protestors joins those spartak fans honoring the dead men and incited mass protests and fighting the police must act tough but within the law and they did everything they had to act in as the situation unfolded. the clashes didn't stop with just the capital either petersburg rally in memory of city that quickly turned into a fight between protesters and riot police with many injured and over fifty detained so is this nationalist violence for violence sake or is there had an agenda. for the far right is working very hard to mobilize the book into a different nationalist nazi group. with a lot of success the fans whoever are not exactly blameless themselves just a few days. spahr tech supporters disrupted their team's match in slovakia

a new way for cup management is already considering serious punishment for the team . the next matches can be held with no audience in the europa league and on thursday i think next day after the match the head coach of their car so that it's not excepted found to behave like that sans clain they want justice for a friend who had been killed but violence is not the answer saturday's clashes prove that both the story and the aggression are not really about football to the instigators however it's all fair game tensions have been on the rise you've got to see that even though there are all doing nothing to offer tempers police managed to restore order to the streets of the capital and seem petersburg but many are still afraid this isn't the end of the violence. catchers are about our team boss.

exit polls suggest that prime minister hoshyar attaching his democratic party of kosovo is leading in the region's first parliamentary elections but as artie's as her reports many from the serbian minority boycotted the vote. well polls have now closed in these historic elections and cost of ns will be breathing a sigh of relief that for the most part the vote seeing a pulse by incident free that were force of a few a very minor disturbances in the north and serbian enclaves of course this is still a region deeply divided along ethnic lines know to be between the majority albanian community here they make up some ninety percent of the population and the much smaller minority serbian community here the expectation is that some fifty percent of the electorate would have voted in today's elections but the votes majority of them will have been albanians serbs have been divided on the issue many want to vote to make a change but they don't necessarily want to engage in the cause of an electoral

system they say they see daily persecution here high unemployment they're not free to travel around the territory they suffer a very poor standard of living and of course there was the cool from belgrade to boycott these elections are supposed to language than used in previous elections of course ethnic divisions and all the only problem facing cost of employment is a ramp it has some reports put it up between forty and fifty percent of the economy here is one of europe's weakest but many say that institutional corruption is the biggest problem here and these are all it seems that have been identified in the main policies a manifest days the expectation is that the largest party will take the majority of votes here that is a prime minister how touchy is democratic party of kosovo the p.t.k. followed by its former coalition a posse the democratic leader of kosovo l d k then there is traditionally the third

party he is the alliance of the future of course of a the a a k. but all of those a major policies have referred to these problems here in the country within the framework of achieving what they perceive to be the ultimate goal. e.u. and nato membership but as i mentioned many here consider corruption to be the biggest hope in the face in recent polls showing the cost of the have a sulphides a real it's a climb in their faith in public institutions here reaching full d.g. fishery to the parliament and they can do that this itself that was put forward for these elections were just helps says a number of key candidates from across the main policies a county under investigation for a variety of crimes ranging from abuse of office to corruption and most worryingly of these are all of the eight k. how to deny is currently in the hague a wasting retrial for war crimes but what does all mean is that said this is the

allowed some new of policies to emerge on the sea to make some quite serious inroads in these elections most new simply. meaning self-determination and fed it meaning new spirit both these policies expected to take some votes today and i'm like the bigger traditional policies they've stayed away you from talk of names who need a new membership and have instead to start to focus on the bread and butter issues affecting people's everyday lives. soon one of humanity's biggest killers which could be claiming many more lives than doctors think the report from india new research which says malaria claims tens of thousands more lives on our border details still ahead. first though u.k. authorities have released the pictures of fourteen people wanted for instigating violence during tuition fee protests in london one hundred seventy five people were arrested during the four demonstrations that paralyzed the capital of left dozens injured riots erupted after westminster approved

there is no need to basically hit the poorest people in our society in order to pay off this debt in march in time we need a more sensible more rational more humane approach to the whole issue we're not getting there from the government at the moment that's why the students are on the streets that's why the seventy occupations and crucially that's why so many others trade unions and people work in the public sector and people are worried about their services are also joining the students in the demonstration. commentary from british opposition labor party m.p. jeremy corben further west ireland's minimum wage is being cut but so are the salaries of the country's leaders to try soaking up some of the anger over the latest set of deficit slashing measures people there face the harshest welfare reductions in the country's history after the banking system. their pain is not helped by seeing bankers set to score massive bonuses once again which is why european bank regulators are set to impose strict limits on rewards as the eurozone

battles to keep the euro from disintegrating it's hoped a second series of tough tests in february will help ease pressure e.u. leaders are set to get back to the table to get a firmer grip on the continent wide debt crisis next week but sam bowman from the adam smith institute says despite all efforts the euro's days could be numbered. but it wouldn't take a genius to see that there is a crisis approaching the continent wide crisis i think it is probably because of the government debt but i think the bailout it just failed to markets. is still extremely high and we're seeing portugal and spain creeping up words as well so i think we're probably going to see quite a difficult year for the if not the end of the eurozone in the coming months i think we need to start looking to the future looking at how countries can return to their seats turn to a way that they're able to get their way out of these kind of high or low interest kind of bubbles that the euro was creating a position where they had a currency that suitable for their own economies rather than for france and germany

which is really what the eurozone project was all about commentary from sam bowman with the adam smith institute coming your way in a few minutes our close up team goes deep down to explore the mystical magic that lies underground in central russia. the code blue ice is full of me as well as the perfect example of the beauty that the forces of nature can create but the the only thing that's unique to the region. you see. before we get to that the founder of whistleblower web site wiki leaks believes the pentagon is planning his prosecution in a documentary aired in sweden julian assange says he's also disappointed with how swedish justice has been abused by thirty nine year old us and british custody after stockholm issued an arrest warrant in connection with the rape allegations that assad firmly denies earlier in the week supporters of the website that has published hundreds of thousands of classified u.s. wires staged a cyber war on financial giants master card visa and pay pal all came under attack

when they stopped collecting donations for wiki leaks meanwhile authorities got a yawn found out at the same time the firms were happily accepting payments for hate 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 weiqi 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 online whistleblower was involved in illegal activities so pay pal along with massive card and be so are no longer accepting cash donations for the controversial website but 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 patents 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 a statement it had acted upon a government's request master card and visa where most of a sit on the subject but the general explanation they gave for not accepting donation payments for weeks. league says that the site quoting courage is promotes facilitates or instruct others to engage in illegal activity but on the other hand neither master card more said i have any problems processing donations for say nuku clark's clan racist movement and history is the 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 weaken leaks 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 a country we believe it's a country that respects the markers you lot are going to be shown that really accuracy is not easy but u.s. 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 goddess now the son of weston of the so-called international community. is targeted for having released information knowing 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 juliana sarge i mean she has freedom of speech will surely. be a rational explanation for giving it to wiki leaks others can't help asking if u.s. officials are sold 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 it those are the week he makes partner papers one other incredible thing about the prosecution is that so many people are falsely reporting that we can 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 go to the new york times or der spiegel . or the guardian or i use 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 he wants depending on its gains ganesh check on our t. washington d.c. two militants and a suspected accomplice have been killed by police in russia southern republic of dagestan one policeman was wounded during the gunfight militants barricaded themselves in a house with house which forces stormed after negotiations failed authorities say one of those killed was the head of a local terrorist who was on the most wanted list the believed to have taken part in at least one major attack in two thousand and nine that left four policemen and seven civilian women dead authorities are cracking down on militant groups in russia's south but the region remains volatile prosecutors say the number of terror attacks there has doubled this year. turning now to some other

new research and research suggests there's an enormous alarming number of unrecorded deaths as artie's charan singh reports it's raising questions as to whether the world health organization may be massively underestimating global malaria death rates. ne india's eastern state of bihar one more victim succumbs to malaria it's a treatable infection yet it's doing ticks more lives in india than each i.v. . malaria has spread everywhere near our village no medical teams come to help us and hospitals are far away poor people like us a dying at this hospital and but now many patients believe they have the parasite to infection. and i have a very high temperature and i think i have no area i've come to the doctor for treatment because many people in my neighborhood have malaria a new study has found that malaria kills more than thirty mm dime's the number of people caught in d.s. committed by the world health organization since many malaria deaths occurred at

home and in rural areas they don't get recorded so research as was it did families and asked them to describe what had happened to the victims a method known as verbal autopsy we estimated that something like four percent of the deaths between one and sixty nine years of age were due to malaria and if you multiply that percentage by the national number of deaths and those you get two hundred thousand deaths before age seventy in india it's a staggering number is specially compared to the world health organization's estimate of just fifteen thousand then more fatalities it disputes the studies saying verbal autopsy responders could mistake when it is commonly found symptoms it is true that you can confused with other causes of fever however the w.h.o. accepts the use of talk see poor estimating childhood deaths from malaria in africa

so puzzled why they would think a method would work in one continent and not three thousand miles away in another most medical stuff and indeed hospitals agree the number of malaria deaths is far more than the w.h.o. for. as in their faces this killer disease it's important for the government. the problem only then can they upgrade their disease control strategies and resources to fight malaria effectively. are the. time now for our segment today we take your russian city of perm. takes in nature's beauty beneath your. name of art. the perm region is full of myths and legends and there are plenty of places for visitors to the area to get up close and personal with them the congo and ice caves are a few hours drive away from the city of perm and provide visitors with some or
