allegro train completed its first trip on sunday i'll have more on that in our business program. costing live from the heart of the russian capital you're watching r.t.m. kerry goes to the. prime minister is claiming he's won the nation's first parliamentary election since it declared you natural 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 i was hit with reports many believe the candidates still represent the same problems. the dawning of a new unified iraq for kosovo that's the message plastered across the million faces on pleased is all across the capital purging people to take part in kosovo's first

general election since declaring independence in two thousand and eight votes is 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 snap elections which are a good plan and then this parliament voted no confidence bought someday so will the same key play is prime minister has been tapped she's democratic policy of kosovo or the p.t.k. and the democratic league of kosovo takes center stage the poll is seen as key in demonstrating kosovo's 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 corruption crime to really have a lot of cases that ministers of this government. investigation because of corruption. it is a thing that we face during this three years for 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 continue with this mentality with this logic there are the new initiatives who would eventually help improve the political

system but as for the political parties who were part of sr and especially those who weren't in power until now the truth for a lot because for all these years that was when punitive 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 belt or polls seem least once we know that all the candidate lists include people who have at some point so 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. despise elysees repeated requests that p.t.k.

did not grant often into being but once again they look likely to be tasked with forming a coalition government and more challengingly for storing the trust of course if it is in politics. alison bits asci possible. political expert on the balkans and relive it says kosovo as ethnic serbs are being treated as second class citizens. you have to bear in mind that about two thirds of. we used to living costs of war 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 serbian 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 the serbs in a very difficult position and they're certainly not integrated in the overall course of the process. deformed unborn babies and children eating that these are just some of the shocking scenes being used in a controversial new drug pushing russia to create a say may seem extreme but that's what it takes these days to fight the huge problem in the country they find some of the images in an office report disturbing . me to happy mother full to my she says masha i used to smoke marijuana when i was pregnant with her if she thinks internet ad is part of a stomach churning anti drunken painted 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 disturb an advert has provoked a huge discussion on the web one 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 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 see you size say countries. believes people had better opening the scale of the problem rather than

concern themselves about the distance see of the adverts. who are there's one other place you merely ating are contradictory and they sound should we just keep silent about everything why ok 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. says behind the fact that the anti drug advert is getting more primitive is another shocking reality the targeting audience is getting younger and younger the average age when youngsters in russia first try drugs has jumped to thirteen years with the attic severus life expectancy just twenty one. the latter but all of 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 new 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 refocus 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 that this can stop some from stepping onto the slippery slope its creators say it's worth the arthritis causing. nazi mosco. well coming up later in the program in bed with the enemy a rift between and retrieve the political process cia officials reveal a deal with an afghan drug lords.

still expected to drag on for years right now is so tragic that here after almost thirty years we're not talking about a new trial we're not talking about all the evidence that has come forth the racism the racism of judge the original judge all of the many things that should have read a long long time ago the u.s. is a record holding country of jails overflowing with prisoners including thousands on death row who are overwhelmingly african-american today there are over two million prisoners in the united states that's the size of san francisco you know you represent. colonial power. is the word and while those in power continue to keep their eyes shut to the flaws the system is bound to remain the scene with the rest of the world watching. r.t. philadelphia. private lenders could soon be footing the bill for bailouts in the european union that's under a new scheme due to be adopted in twenty thirteen but these changes could mean
