watching r t well live from moscow welcome to the program. as prime minister is claiming he's won the nation's first parliamentary election since it declared independence from serbia three years ago but with unprecedented poverty corruption and ethnic divisions the new government will need to answer the call from the public for change however as others have it reports many of the candidates still represent the same problems. the dawning of the new uniform idea of. the message plastered across the media faces on tuesday is all across the capital purging people to take hamas in terms of those bus general election since declaring independence in two thousand evades vote says at this polling station in central pristina decided to brace the cold temperatures to call the vote they told us that

they want to see a change for starts here in kosovo and that is the only going every day problems of unemployment and living standards that they care about. the economic situation here is bad so we're waiting for better days but we don't expect miracles. i believe things will get better now but for me the biggest problem is corruption these elections which are a good plan and then this parliament voted no confidence bought someday so will the same key play is prime minister hasn't she's democratic policy of kosovo or the p.t.k. and the democratic league of conservation takes center stage the poll is seen as key in demonstrating class of those political maturity. these historic elections are totally free and fair we know that they're the first real test of our new democracy but the historic vote was tainted by accusations of corruption and abuse of office several candidates from across the major policies currently under

investigation for a range of offenses it is a big problem in cause. crime to really have a lot of cases that ministers of this government. investigation because of corruption when i strive. and it is a thing that we face during this three years or two years it was a big big problem during this time so we want to change that we have to change that . we cannot go or continually go with this mentality with this logic there are new initiatives who would eventually help improve the political system but as for the political parties who were part of sr and the special those who were in power and from the. truth because for all these years i was doing

purely. politics whatever they could. in office practically rounders them as a substantial part of this is a region still deeply divided along ethnic lines belgrade refuses to acknowledge pristine is unilateral declaration of independence and called on its minority community in kosovo to boycott the polls seem least skim we know that all the candidate lists and people who have at some point so it'd been involved in crime these people need to stay out of politics has just said that it's in the interests of serbs both here and in kosovo and as for corruption yes kosovo is still a lot i despise elysees repeated requests that p.t.k. did not grant the need to be but once again they look likely to be tasked with forming a coalition government and more challenging for storing the trust of civilians in

policy so. alison bits asci us. political expert on the balkans mission governor of it says cost of us ethnic serbs are being treated as second class citizens. you have to bear in mind that about two thirds of. who used to living costs of or prior to nato bombing themselves in some eleven years ago are no longer in kosovo but they have been effectively ethnically cleansed and no provision whatsoever has been made for them to participate either in these or any previous elections this is of course a major problem for the remaining. population in kosovo because participation in the electoral process can be easily interpreted as an agreement to the conditions that are prevailing in kosovo in other words legitimizing that process with which they're very unhappy with in

a very difficult position and they're certainly not integrated in the overall course of the process. deformed unborn babies and children eating dirt these are just some of the shocking scenes being used in the controversial and drug pushing russia the creators say it's may seem extreme that's what it takes these days to fight a huge problem in the country you may find some of the images of mathematicians report disturbing or. needs a happy motto for tomorrow she says masha i used to smoke marijuana when i was pregnant with her at the b.b.c. internet ad is part of a stomach churning antidrug can pay in a fashion sashenka i was already on heroin then. surprisingly it's the least offensive five percent of the series designed to shock some of them may leave a bad taste in your mouth quite literally like this one for instance. that's why we

stop it here. it says that keeping quiet about drug abuse among school kids is like keeping dirt in your mouth the shocking can paint has provoked his discussion on the web on just how far we can go in trying to keep youngsters away from drugs. that was the word yes it causes a slight nausea impulse but that's what we need it will make those children who now think that it's bad to tell their parents and teachers about dealers in other words they do not report on dealers or let them consider which is better with in their mouths or without. every year more than one hundred thousand people officially dying from overdose and drug related deaths and that doesn't pollute. so you can tree so you can have a believes people would better opening they are used to the scale of the problem rather than concerning themselves about this and see the campaign if the poor there's nothing actually millions you know contradictory in the sand should we just

keep silent about everything why ok let's keep our mouths shut and just live on the twenty year olds die and millions and billions of dollars flowing into drug dealers pockets while we just pretend that everything is perfect in our society. behind the fact that the end to drug can pain is getting more primitive as another shocking reality the targeting audience is getting younger and younger the average age when youngsters in russia first try drugs has dropped to thirteen years with an x. average life expectancy just twenty one the last the latter but there was this is aimed at them so it has to be primitive in order to work do you think they don't know what drugs are bad when they just need to have it literally imprinted in their minds the shocking can pain is actually a government initiative a response to the country's need priority in fighting the drug problem but as a report on the concepts we've always been concentrated on finding drugs and withdrawing them this july we've adopted a new state drug strategy now we need to focus on decreasing demand rather than

trying to cope with the consequences. where the government's recent refocus on preventive measures we can expect more and more projects like this one aimed at literally disgust. in the idea of drugs out of youngsters minds and yes it may be unpleasant looking but so are the statistics of drug abuse in the country and if there is a chance no matter how small that this can stop someone from stepping onto the slippery slope its creators say it's worth the arthritis causing reef notion r.t. more scope. coming up later in the program embedded with the enemy a rift between america's good tree and political top brass cia officials will feel that deal again truculent.
