and victor in this election to step down and give the people a democratic choice they then blocked off one of the men's central highways and move towards the parliament building some of the protesters tried to storm the building breaking down doors smashing windows riot police of course tried to resist and pushed everybody out of the way not really differentiating between civilians and journalists anybody and everybody who was close to them got hit including our very own cameramen who were hit on the face with a police baton police dispersed the riots brutally put very efficiently very quickly it was in a matter of minutes that the square which was filled with thousands of people was emptied by a riot police in full riot gear one of the opposition leaders and one of the presidential candidates mr it was attacked out on his way to the protest he left his office with a few of his supporters they were attacked by a number of men in black without any official law enforcement insignia the

presidential candidate was beaten and hospitalized with a serious concussion and we know according to his wife a later security officials came and took him out of the hospital she doesn't know where he is opposition leaders of course calling for more people to come out on the streets and protest an election they believe to have been fraudulent the election in which incumbent president. has secured his fourth consecutive victory with a landslide win. results he received over seventy percent of the vote securing himself another stay in office continuing his sixteen year stretch of uninterrupted power of course after last night's event maybe many perhaps it will not be as eager to come and protest out into the streets of the capital but opposition leaders do seem to be very determined to bring the people out again. south korea has carved out far and. close to the border with north korea despite threats of retaliation

from. council military exercises warning they might aggravate tensions on the peninsula. despite the threats of war from north korea we see in south korea carrying out this weapon till today now this comes after it was delayed at the weekend heats the bad weather we've had there are carried out today around food to people evacuated from the front line buddha knew that the speech to the territory and the rest of the people had me freeview say this weekend to the mainland when they'd received that warning has to be as he said these drills have now got ahead this comes after more than eight hours of discussion last night as an emergency un security council meeting does meet russia's request and participants at that meeting were discussing a russian drought state with a cool base north and south korea to really try and ease the tension was there may

be going to vision of them some. serious conflict for that matter so in the big chamber when we have this private meeting which was also of course asked for by the russian federation. we reiterated the cool or forty strains on both parties no uncertain terms we. asked the republic of korea to refrain from from docking the six sides of this at this point in time but there are certain political circumstances would try to deal with this situation unfortunately so far this year to go also has not been successful. though what is the key issues that prevented the un from because from the top to a coordinated statement with the differing approaches between particularly the u.s. and china now the u.s. is making it very clear they were going to do any statements unless there was a very clear condemnation of north korea and its recent actions now see that

russia's foreign ministry has said there russia requests the u.s. failure to reach an agreement and who say that. these military drills carried out by south korea. as a blockade to stability in the region is cooled on both sides to really be exercising caution now as the situation develops the last time south korea carried out these military drills from the same island ignoring field and the twenty third north korea responded by shelling the island that resulted in the deaths of two civilians and it was one of the worst attacks on south korean territory since the korean war ended in one thousand nine hundred fifty three just south korea said that these the standard military drills that they're carrying out the north korea has responded by saying that no they see this is woman even. with. these military drills as provocative they do say said that they perhaps we willing to have to face

that they'd be willing to kill the i.a.e.a. in to examine clear facilities and we know the new government in south korea perhaps coming under pressure from the public especially in the wake of the attacks and they tend to really take a tougher stance towards north korea. so well from the russian academy of sciences says south korea's military exercises are seen as provocative and the way to put pressure on the north. this in not only is provocation no nor for but other countries and well including china and russia because it's played with fire. i think that the south korean goals are to pressure north korea. even reached a conflict to. isolate and to further further influence north korean regime supposing that it will. later which is absolute and based on have been saying it's ready for talks for several months already. it has been said to the

chinese it has been said publicly. so parrot is ready for dialogue or dialogue both on the issues of nuclear nuclear program and the broader issues of security in the korean peninsula unfortunately that's the u.s. and south korea who are not ready for the dialogue and this gives us another suspicion that the real goal of both exercises this. refusal to start the dialogue is to really pressure north korea into concessions of time been watchin north korea close with this for last thirty five years i would say that the danger war is now is now real and it can start actually unpredictably you never know what what what may happen and you never know how far the conflicts will develop. your way that we are still ahead for you this hour a campaign of fear the u.s.

media around scaremongering is washington could soon be getting on another anti terrorism crusade this time in yemen. and a u.s. policy review what did washington fail to mention on its strategy in afghanistan. many people in poor central asian states russia is seen as a land of opportunity millions of migrants there every year in search of greener pastures but many of forced to work illegally and their life is far from perfect. reports. here for the federal migration service comes knocking on the door at four o'clock in the morning officers say they arrive at this early hour before the immigrants leave for work which usually happens around six am that duty the broader so srijit conducted in order to find illegal immigrants usually we have about seven or eight such raids a month but this time around the federal migration service found just

a few people without permission to work in the country one of them isn't it means twenty two year old. i don't have documents i don't know russian law i've been in russia for about a year and i don't understand the rules and customs of the country who is one of a dozen immigrants who were apprehended during the raid but officials say there are millions more undetected in russia. currently there are about five million foreign citizens working in the russian federation to work legally the majority illegally there are about 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 cemetery or convenient this is like a kitchen space something between a bathroom and basically a place where people cook and wash themselves as well. so why do vietnamese chinese

in many from other asian countries continue to flock to russia. although they get paid a lot less the native workers would be paid for the same job is still a lot more than they would have earned back home migrant workers or a very valuable resource countries with developed economies they do all the hard low paid jobs that 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. drying up even if the hours are long in the living conditions are cramped it isn't party. 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 into the american media which is now stoking fears that the arab nation is a hotbed of terrorism what is going to chicken. america's secret aims in

yemen are secret no more as confirmed by recent we can leaks 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 for i don't card out there some of bin laden had a dream for him in a nightmare for us that was to involve us in in even conclusive wars in distant lands that would cost us a fortune there's a couple of other intelligence national security bureaucracy. in this country last year 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 suspicious package from yemen was found at a federal facility the 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 the 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 the political support it's 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 toward. deserts of yemen u.s.

paschal 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 while a lockie of the sort of second coming of osama bin laden i think it it it goes to show how little we've learned from the boogie man days of bush and cheney and how 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
