on the plot markets this report was led by the human rights investigated it mostly and is due to be formally presented to the council on thursday in this report a mist of aussie says that mr touchy is connections to organized crime date back well over ten years when his the need group became the dominant factor within the cost of an liberation army the k.l.a. eight and in this report mr monti is highly critical of the international community for largely ignoring the actions of the k l a jury in the cost of the north and as a result mr touchy in those loyal to him have played a dominant role in kaufman politics for the past decades the leaking of this report also coincided with the beginning of legal proceedings in a pristina court house into an alleged case of organ trafficking that was discovered by the calls from police it's two thousand and eight and in this council of europe report mr monti makes a connection with that case and the alleged harvesting of the k.l.a.

in two thousand and all of this comes as tensions are already running high in pristina after the historic elections that the first general election to take place in the region since its unilateral declaration of independence in two thousand and eight mr tutt she's a democratic polity of cost of a plane victory in those elections but allegations of vote rigging have led to the other major policies that soon call for a recount so tensions running high in this council of europe reports causing even more waves to ripple across the already troubled region. reporting their market assets from the british serbian alliance for peace says any punishment hossam zaki my face is nothing compared to what he's done to cost. faces to put it mildly a difficult time but i think the time he faces is nothing compared the time that those living human beings who were kept in concentration camps and were

systematically caught up and then sewn back up again after organs had removed from them in a series of episodes till they were finally begging to be murdered rather than continually chopped up and let live in that condition i'm sure that the anything that happens to him will be mild compared to what he was granted so a group of the head of the k.l.a. which took over kosovo from serbia were responsible for and i guess that my expectation of this report will be hushed up as much as it is possible to be because so many politicians have invested so much interest into this abysmal awful criminal state this banana republic in the heart of europe which has nothing better to do traffic in human beings organs drugs and women that's possible for you. coming your way or the sour. line now is the sweetest politician decide to take up

the case of these accused of the accusers and how to push this through. the looks of what mine is behind sweden's appeal for the release of with leaks founder julian assange. i asked him how it's going to be when you're up in speed this time to be there so you can then make phone calls you know they make crazy car and so it's just just as if he's here aren't you discover is a lot of story because i'm drawn as a space for years to live for orbit so i don't miss it. from ruin us wars to squander it economy man to believe the u.s. is going through its darkest time yet and despite obama's best efforts unemployment statistics happen on a real landless rise since two thousand and eight as christine for zoe pours the numbers mean fabby masking the truth. the numbers by any stretch are staggering we just got in the government's monthly jobs report it really was a disappointment on all counts hope for some holiday cheer at the end of this long

tough year but instead the unemployment rate last month rose to nine point eight percent nine point eight percent is the unemployment rate our various hourly earnings no change it by some estimates that rate which translates to fifteen million people is actually closer to twenty percent or thirty million people without a job the bureau of labor statistics conducts a survey of households to calculate the rate and considers people unemployed if they don't have a job have actively looked for work in the prior four weeks and are currently available for work people exact smith who we met at the unemployment services office he was using the computers there to try to find a job at to sell my house get rid of my car so it's just been a really very the most difficult experience i've ever had my life he now stays with friends like a college degree good it's good skills good experience but no income since his

unemployment benefits have run out i don't know how many others there are like me but there may be quite a few so it's probably a lot worse to me but the figures are. among those not counted college graduates who can't find their first job those who haven't sent out a resume in more than four weeks and those who simply would never be surveyed because they don't have a landline or a permanent residence that includes washington d.c. resident monica who did not want to give her last name out of work for several months she so far been in eligible for unemployment benefits and has not yet looked for a new job she and her young daughter aliya live in a friend's basement car it is really hard to take care of margaret she says some days she can't even afford to buy food out. i want to work i want to go to the moon cause give a good story to be able to. take care of her master the voice. in

the city where the laws of the land are made a closer look at those left behind just one of many heads that have not and most likely will not be counted the unemployment line it is an image that came to embody the great depression the time when franklin delano roosevelt took office as president of the united states so here at his memorial it is a permanent reminder of that time in history but it is a history that for many americans is starting to repeat itself reporting in washington christine for. our team. have more insight on the crisis faced by millions of americans we talked to george hamming there are founder of survive and thrive to. every day i'm talking to people that are not only have no hope they are hopeless with getting a job because there are no jobs it's a total joke a total disaster when you look for jobs you put out one hundred resumes and you get

no responses you've got to give up on the concept of a job they're doing everything they can to destroy a job they're making it hard to hire you hire people they're putting all these regulations on companies that they have to pay you know increases in medical insurance these guys are out of touch it's a total joke i mean when i hear these guys on c.n.n. talking about how they think they can improve the economy it's just that they're so out of touch so out of out of the loop that they have no concept of what it's like for an average american in this economy out of work looking for a job open up your paper look at the classified ads in some cases sometimes there's fewer than five or ten jobs in my city we've got we've got like three hundred thousand people i mean it's just it's ridiculous. and say whether you asked peter wells latest fire edition of cross talk turns to immigration and where there is immigration there is anger that's coming up later this hour here in our. where

there are large concentrations of immigrants it has been a net gain for these states ok when i do even you going to want us to share it with us but as a body you argue against that how do you beyond doubt and this is interesting i don't know you i know you're well versed in the bob how to react to that it sounds pretty convincing if any of that is valid and maybe some of it is and i could certainly give you a laundry list as long as my arm out the net loss. to me with illegal immigration. and i don't know where you know a lot of your shoes are on this although you are. the founder of the we can lease web site julian assange is staying behind bars in britain for at least two more days despite a court order to release him on bail the ruling has been appealed by sweden the country wants sex crimes allegations where the leaks has published hundreds of thousands of confidential u.s.

documents causing an outcry in washington the website has faced repeated attempts to bring it offline and companies such as master card and pay pal have banned donations to which the u.s. has been charged with any crimes but it's widely believed to be behind the campaign against a whistleblower campaigner ashar ward from justice for sweden is acting as a proxy for washington which badly ones to plug that we can fix. but we think these are very very spirits charges we think the allegations of very weak we noticed that the chief swedish prosecutor looked at these original charges and looked at the evidence and said there is no case to answer here for and immediately dropped the case so why is it now all of a sudden since the cables have been released and the government is getting more more and. the u.s. state department all the governments around the world are getting more and more embarrassed and these cables are getting more and more revelator e why now is a swedish politician decide to take up the case of basic east of the accusers and

how to push this through a just labor supply director to shoot to the u.s. it's just a serious charge journalists out in your towns he says the decision to keep assad behind bars is confusing but still hopes it won't deter wiki leaks from continuing to expose secrets the u.s. wants to hide. everyone thought that one of they won this bail application that his mother left the court ever left the goods and then it's earns out the they've appealed the decision the crown prosecution service here automatically has to act on the swedish authorities decision and i would seems like he's one bail but he's going to be in jail for forty eight zero is very confusing situation how ironic that we're talking about justice in the british school when that he leaks so much about injustice around the world i think what's really important though is that the daily wiki leaks information is brought out and the next week the leaks are supposed to be about the bank of america so we'll hear a lot more about business news from wiki leaks regardless of judea just predict what i think. and you know was keep up to date on our website with all the latest
