around the world and around the clock mrs arty cos of a prime minister is claiming he's won the nation's first part of ensured action since it declared unilateral independence from sebi a three years ago with unprecedented poverty corruption and ethnic divisions the new government will need to answer the call from the public for change. reports many believe the candidates still represent the same problems. the dawning of a new uniform idea. that's the message plastered across the media faces on tuesday is all across the capital purging people to take parsing pre-suppose first general election since declaring independence in two thousand evades voters 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 players prime minister hasn't she is democratic policy of kosovo or the p.t.k. of the democratic league of course of those takes center stage the poll is seen as key in demonstrating cause of those political maturity. these historic elections are totally free and fair we know that there are 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 parties 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 on ice crime. and it is a thing that we face during this three years or two years and it was a big big problem during this time so we want to change that we have to change that when. we cannot go or continually there 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 special those who weren't in power until now. the truth for a lot because for all these years i was winning punic over politics whatever they.

may not be as practical around us them as a substantial corrupt this is a region still deeply divided along ethnic lines belgrade refuses to acknowledge pristine is unilateral declaration of independence and called on its one or she community in kosovo to boycott the day it's polls seem least we know that all the candidate lists including people who have at some point so it's been involved in crime these people need to stay out of politics in the interests of serbs both here and in kosovo and as for corruption yes kosovo is still a black 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 they are storing the trust of positives in politics. alison bits asci their. place all experts on the

balkans mission in of it says kosovo as 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 in kosovo you know the 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 a controversial drug pushing russia to create a say they seem extreme but that's what it takes these days to fight the huge problem in the country may find some images and where his report disturbing. me is a happy motto for tomorrow she says masha i used to smoke marijuana when i was pregnant with her the baby thinks internet ad is part of a stomach churning antidrug can pay in a fashion session 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 it's keeping quiet about drug abuse amongst kook aids is like

keeping current in your mouth the shocking can paint has provoked huge discussion on the web on just how far we can go in trying to keep youngsters away from drugs. that was the word removed 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 let them consider which is better with in their mouths or without issued every year more than one hundred thousand people officially dying for sure from overdose and drug related deaths and that doesn't include sue's size so you can't restore your can as it were believes people with better opening they are used to the scale of the problem rather than concerning themselves about this in c. of can pain if the poor there's nothing a few million or contradictory in the sand should we just keep silent about everything well like a let's keep our mouths shut and just live on let 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. who are 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. but with this is aimed at them so it has to be primitive in order to work do you think they don't know that 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 concept 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. with the government's recent tree focus on preventive measures we can expect more and more projects like this one aimed at literally disgusting 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 the base can stop song from stepping up to the slippery slope its creators say it's worth causing a refinish not see more scope coming up later in the program in bed with the enemy a rift between a man that's called top brass a cia officials revealed a deal with afghan drug.
