well the question is. what's the situation now in the city's streets. carrie it's very early in the morning here in the belorussian capital it's also a monday a work day so far the only people we've seen are those that are hiring off work or taking kids to school at the moment the very heart of the bell russian capital looks quiet in stark contrast to what it was looking like last night when thousands of people poured out onto the city streets first in the square square then blocking off of one of minsk central avenues walking down it towards the parliament house where they staged a somewhat long protests are some people at some point started to break through been bandied to see the current leaders the moment that begins the president they started breaking down doors breaking the glass and clashing with police riot police

at times it of course to push them back and that is where our camera crew got hurt two of my cameramen was on the head with police with arms they were shaken up continue to work and said that they're feeling fine but it was still a very unpleasant event and it wasn't the only one at the beginning it almost felt like. really distinguishing or differentiating between opposition supporters civilians journalists anybody and basically all they did was attempt to break down the crowd and arrest anybody who was in its way the only thing journalists could do was hold up their press cards in the hope that they were noticed so it was quite a quick but very brutal break down all of a protest that was taking place last night opposition supporters are saying that they are asking people to come out onto the streets today but after yesterday's

events nobody can say for sure whether anyone will risk coming out and protesting today. truly disturbing images there as you say the opposition has vowed to bring people back to the streets today is not likely to happen only lucky to see more violent clashes. at the moment it would probably see not possible that opposition supporters would bring more people to the streets and that disorganization is somewhat related to the fact that one of the opposition leaders of the main men and opposition presidential candidates mr nuclei of was hospitalized last night as he left his office to head this way to accept the sky square to participate in the protest he was attacked by a number of men in black who use stun grenades and flares and basically force everybody who was with me face down onto the ground they took their equipment they

hustled them into many vans and basically beat up some of the presidential candidates we know that was brought back to his office an ambulance was called and he was hospitalized was a serious concussion and we've also heard from some unconfirmed sources that he was later taken away from hospital by law enforcement officers that's according to his wife we don't know whether that is in fact the case but there were reports of him being taken away or detained for questioning so at the moment it seems that combined with yesterday's events and the uncertainty of an absence of a opposition leader brings it's not certain whether many people will actually risk coming out to the city center tonight. catherine do keep us updated of course we'll continue to monitor that situation here or not. now south korea has carved out its life faria exercises on the island close to the border with north korea this part

threats of retaliation from pyongyang moscow cold on seoul to counseling military exercises. warning they might cause unpredictable developments in the region. joined by correspondent sara firth. about what's being going on at the border between the two koreas. well the fight the threat of war by north korea we're seeing today those military drills being carried out by south korea now they've been carried out today also they were delays at the weekend by bad weather and they've not been completed we had about forty people were evacuated from the front line border. and this comes after eight hours of talks last night to the u.n. security council emergency meeting to try and calm the tensions not the meeting with discussing a drive russian draft could all north and south korea pay for framing from escalating this.

there may be. vision of tension. serious conflict for that matter so in the big chamber when they have this private meeting which was also of course asked for by the russian federation. we reiterated to cool the strain on both parties in the no uncertain terms we. would ask the republic of korea to refrain from conducting this exercise at this at this point in time but there are certain political circumstances would try to deal with this situation unfortunately so far the security council has not been entirely successful. so one of the key issues that prevented the un from coming up with a coordinated statement was the difference in approaches particularly between the u.s. and china now the u.s. made it very clear that they weren't going to agree to anything without

a very clear condemnation of north korea's actions recently what they called provoked to attack the no we. military drills now going ahead but we've also had north korea possibly has made it very clear that the international community if you like buffy will strike but nothing yet happened but of course will now be waiting to see what the response from north korea will be today's military drills going ahead serious these exercises that you talk about taking place in the south korean island and the shows by the north last month tensions between sold on really have been rising have very recently. absolutely as you seen these tensions building up and we had the u.s. as we said talking about the strong condemnation that has a full day's events in november the twenty third attack then particularly. and that that's the result of. poor. people killed and the thinking of the china before that the ship that also provoked this build in the tensions between the two

sides now we've heard that the security council say anything to reach some clarification to unify the situation to really try and ease tensions but we've had people saying that there's a real danger now the situation by ruling out of control and the russian envoy to the russian envoy. that we had to pull saying no they're really going to take these tools to continue and try and reach them to doing that. ok for now sara for thanks very much for that. well you're with still ahead for you this campaign. the u.s. media stand margaret washington could soon go. this time given. the u.s. policy review what did washington thanks for that strategy.

for many people in poor central asian states russia and then the opportunity millions of migrants there every year for greener pastures but many are forced to work illegally is far from perfect because of scruples. for the federal migration service comes knocking on the door at four o'clock in the night officers say they arrive at this early hour before the in the basement floor which usually happens around six am thank g.-d. the produce so srijit conducted in order to find illegal immigrants usually have about seven or eight such raids a month good luck with this time around the federal migration service found just a few people without permission to work in the country one of them is a good and nice twenty two year old. woman i don't have documents i don't know russian dollars i've been in russia for about a year and i don't understand the rules and customs of the country. is one of

a dozen immigrants who work for him to dinner in the raid but officials say there are millions more undetected in russian city restaurants sort of currently there are about forty million foreign citizens working in the russian federation to work legally. or illegally whereabouts people living in that tiny little room right there we're going to go down the corridor into a kitchen and you can see for yourself that the conditions here are far from senator kerry or convenience this is like a kitchen space something between a bathroom and basically a place where people cook and russia itself is well. so why do these chinese in many from other asian. to flock to russia. so they get paid a lot less the native workers will be paid for the same job still a lot more than they would have been back home migrant workers or a very valuable resource countries with developed economies they do. no one in the

country wants to do. russia has the second largest number of immigrants in the world after the united states and there's plenty of jobs in industries such as construction and retail the flow of migrant workers doesn't show any signs of drying up even if the hours are long in the living conditions a cramped. party last fall. with the u.s. already fighting in two wars yemen has been revealed as another possible front opening up but there could be secret links between the countries that is feeding the american media which is now stoking fears that the arab nation is a hotbed of terrorism artie's going to chicken reports. america's secret aims in yemen are secret no more as confirmed by recent we can fix this patch of classified diplomatic cables u.s. special operations forces are carrying out strikes against suspected terrorists in

yemen and the yemeni government is taking the credit in exchange for yemen's cooperation the u.s. heavily finances the country's fragile government but u.s. plans in yemen go further than strikes the military are discussing long term basis and asking for more than a billion dollars to fight all carted there some of bin laden had a dream for him in a nightmare for us it was to involve us in in inconclusive wars in distant lands that would cost us a fortune there's a kind of intelligence national security bureaucracy. in this country also here and americans are irrationally scared when the parcel bomb hysteria broke out in october the u.s. twenty four hour news machine did not fall short of feeding americans worst fears a second position package from yemen was found and that it facility is an ideal country. o'conner years ago already believed out in the arabian peninsula is

behind the shipment the packages from yemen gave rise to a lot of confusion as to whether they were really parcel bombs but one thing that was beyond doubt the fear trigger has been pulled out yemen was in the news as a terrorist in a matter of days the u.s. officially deployed predator drones in yemen and started talking about bases there they deliberately over blow all of these incidents because there is a huge constituency a huge business national security business which is paid for by the u.s. taxpayer it's a way of capturing a political support a way of doing a lot of different things but what it's not doing is defeating terrorism the most generous estimates suggest there are perhaps several hundred al qaida members in the poverty stricken strive torn desert so if you get. u.s. special forces have been chasing them for years causing dozens of civilian deaths what the u.s. is doing in yemen is really inflating the prominence of al qaeda in the arabian peninsula this is a group that probably would have very little street value in the arab street or the

muslim street if the united states wasn't propping up on we're all a lockie of the sort of second coming of osama bin laden i think it's goes to show how little we've learned from the boogie man days of bush and cheney and our own policies in dangerous more in many cases that his policies on the surface american leaders are motivated by the fear of one day receiving a parcel bomb but some say disaster has other layers of motivation you're not going to make the technology of a letter bomb go away by attacking what you think is al-qaeda in yemen you're just going to make it move to another place u.s. government is basically very much into a marketing campaign to make these things look like the government is being effective in light of modern us wars and their coverage in the media we've learned that the objective pros and cons of waging a military campaign can be muted whenever fear comes into the picture and fear can justify almost anything going to check on r.t.e. washington d.c.

policy review in afghanistan and pakistan would you be surprised that the u.s. president in his comments on the new policy on afghanistan and pakistan has never mentioned the old or new u.s. counter-narcotics policy or imminent threat and challenge to afghanistan its neighbors and the global security even once that is two main challenges in afghanistan corruption for itself and terrorism for its neighbors have been completely ignored the national intelligence estimate of us policy in afghanistan and pakistan excels in one thing in its mission statement finally it got its priorities perfectly straight the number one thing is tied it second it's pakistan and afghanistan it takes only the third place but when you listen to the u.s.

president comments on the new u.s. policy in the region you get an impression that he didn't have an opportunity to read through his own national intelligence or view on pakistan and afghanistan the indian government says its plan for the future of kashmir will be released in a few months but the proposal has riled those living in the region who say they haven't been allowed to contribute to the parents' creation as kashmiri separatist leader told r.t. and the proposal should involve people there and the group rocky start. well we have to talk about the process and that is rig zack in your field for the last so many years that yes india pakistan have talked about kashmir many times but it has been you know there is no process in motion as far as the two countries are concerned the perception here in kashmir is that you can't have talks on the one

hand and killings on the other hand for the last five months we have seen what happened you have lost hundred twelve you said you all noncombatants students but there doesn't seem to be an accountability for the government sites if the government of india is saying that we are going to have a solution or a conduit of a solution in the next two months the fact is of the wood it doesn't know anything about that so if this statement is to mean anything let the government of india address some of the issues which we have given to them it's going to only survive if india pakistan and the world community are going to support the whole thing. and you can watch that full interview in around ten minutes time right here r.t. . now to some other stories making headlines from around the world this hour. the trying to steal oil of course the powerful pipeline explosion in mexico these twenty eight people injuring fifty twelve of the dead were children the blast said
