war two neighbors turned toward each other as you can slow your broke up and the determination of regional identity is not to be underestimated frige unionists say they have the flag and everything else worked out to become france's twenty eight region all that's left are the details the new bush will see brussels. well we want to know if you think the belgian people's desire to end their own happy marriage will affect others in europe here's how you're facing it dot com opinion is another thing that's clearly divided here on whether united europe days are numbered will be sour thirty eight percent of you say the e.u. has been stuck together for far to long while around a quarter believe e.u. nations are too inexplicably linked to go it alone the rest say that a global economic slump or excessive immigration will be what spells the end of the

plot to add your voice now at r.t. dot com. the un security council is holding an urgent meeting at serbia's request into the flaring of violence. in northern costs of a fresh clashes began one conservation police seized two disputed border checkpoints to prevent the transit of goods from serbia also dominate them cos if they are outraged by the mean reviews destroying one of the checkpoints nato peacekeeping forces moved into the violence but the situation remains tense let's discuss this more now with an islamic scholars on the pov it used in belgrade mr pritchett many thoughts of being head on help us break the situation down which you why would cost of officials decide to move special forces into remove the authorized police out of those two checkpoints do they have the right to do that. well they didn't have the right to do that i think they're trying to. force some

unilateral moves in order to change the reality on the ground to change the reality as it was as it is under your resolution security council resolution twelve forty four and this is one of the reasons why the u.n. security council will be in session later today now that they're actually trying to choose reality on the ground while serbs in this part of saying that the ethnic minority how legal that is the serbian import bound by kosovo all forces in terms of minorities rights. well we have to remember one thing kosovo is still not universally recognized as a state so in fact serbs are not a minority down there they are part of this serbian people who are the majority in their own state now cost of always still is the session is through public so in other words the serbs or down in kosovo still believe themselves to be part of

serbia and they're acting in that capacity now the western states mostly nato states that have recognized course of our treating them as a minority on the other hand states that have not recognized kosovo independence and not treating serves as a minority but are seeing them as having equal rights as all of the citizens of serbia now a security council session is under way as you were saying but toolbox on this will be claims sabby wanted and they didn't is it was behind the un's decision do you think. the western powers headed by the united states they really didn't want to have it. they really didn't want to have an open session. because a lot of uncomfortable truths may come out one of them is that there albanian allies are actually making unilateral moves so this was the reason why the best that serbia could do along with russia and china is to get session behind closed

doors and really it's because of the western powers and what might happen if they say the situation continues to escalate do you think. it's really hard to say but we must remember that the key to the situation in kosovo was really in nato hands they control militarily the entire province so really whatever happens down there is under their control and it's something that they will tolerate or not tolerate and we must also remember what happened yesterday with the burning of the . checkpoints the border checkpoint we still don't know who actually did it these were masked men they really could have been any nationality we don't know whether they were serb albanian or french or even american we just still don't know that. from their pov it's a political analyst from belgrade many things are speaking to us on this thank you . the u.s.

military says it will continue airborne reconnaissance missions near china and that's despite beijing's protest well off to see a chinese find the jets intercepted a u. two spy plane over taiwan which china claims after its territory can now and from the american based foreign policy in focus think tank says the rift is a part of the competition for energy in the region. right now the united states is the number one user of energy in the world and china is the number two and chinese or oil eighty percent of chinese energy supplies who've by sea that you move through the straits of from once which is controlled by the american six lete oil in the lex straits which controlled by the american seventh fleet chinese are very sensitive to this and they tell us they worry about the fact that the united states could sort of put its money on their energy juggler vein this is start a worldwide competition for energy resources between the number one and the number

two powers now energy users in the world and the fact that the united states has pretty much surrounded most of china with bases that go all the way from central asia to the north pacific that's the context in which this takes place. now in just a few minutes we report from where howells the ends of american jobs. we have people here that have worked here all of their lives and losing jobs left and right because somebody on top wants to make a buck and pay the cheapest possible. and in india we tell you why made us pay off and shipping east leaving former employees in the state stranded and jobless also. the sounds of the russian fleet wait for the real danger that on the ground the fear that smoldering people could smog and not much a cake and smoke something. but livia's president says he fears u.s.

authorities might plant narcotics on his plane and link him with drug traffickers wave about alice he's attending the u.n. general assembly in new york has been sharing his concerns with us. so you got this the information is coming from the u.s. i think there is some kind of a system some preparations being done by secret agents it's a little way of undermining the authority of the bolivian president and of the government do you remember this news from wiki leaks that was america's goal was it to capture me or neutralize me or overthrow me but they failed and they do now try charging us with illegal activities with drug smuggling or terrorism for instance to ultimately destroy us that's their plan i believe that all. of the highlights of the interview with the bolivian president evo morales is available for you to watch right now of course at r.t. dot com. if you. take three.

to cut costs welcome to go down a modern suburb of new delhi everywhere you look there offices of american companies at the sign of the importance the united states has placed on this country during the financial crisis according to rethink our sourcing reports american companies have been preproduction the country as much as seven times in the past three year. carrier corporations is a multi-billion dollar american heating and ventilation company they say that over the past decade their business has shifted from being seventy percent u.s. base to just forty percent today. moving consciously in that direction so the idea is to have a good balance it's not about being focused on one market together but having a good balance and all this me you know i'm watching markets like india china and asia such continue to be called areas for us globally. and carrier isn't alone according to the u.s. department of commerce the same number of jobs that have been cut from the united states in the last decade have been added to these companies overseas operations

it's a phenomenon that angers many americans who are struggling to make ends meet i think it's despicable disgusting and we have people here that have worked here all of their lives in a losing jobs left and right because somebody on top wants to make a buck and pay the cheapest possible deal or more line dollars to go to stimulate the economy here in america i think the american companies should hire american workers. because of the shrinking middle class and the fact that middle class wages are decreasing over the last thirty years so many people here they don't have jobs due to me and i do think that is the wrong thing to do is. and it's not just manufacturing work american i t. companies and innovation jobs are also moving here in droves as well as huge savings on wages many companies say india's fast growing economy and young workforce make it a desirable place to find staff there are amazingly talented people here in that

part of the workforce and you know it's a matter of helping other markets understand you know there are very talented people here who can do a lot of great work and it's not just about outsourcing and it's growth that these american companies don't anticipate will end anytime soon. within the markets. from the last forty years ago most reports and those laws are the u.s. british military would like to double the business. confidence not often found among their colleagues in the west preassure either r t new delhi india. or more of previous reports from inside india are available online any time you want saddam hussien home including how to dial up the capture of the day india trawler crucifying phones transform their livelihoods with a different kind of that way and to illustrate the point to section three of the

story the inspiration. addison dot com. now a suicide attack on the government compound in southern afghanistan has left at least nineteen dead and over thirty five injured while it follows a string of attacks that the killing of president karzai is hot proper and comes as the u.s. withdraws its forces this is his the more detailed i with michael shear former cia intelligence officer and a historian in washington d.c. many things have been with us here at aussie now we've seen a string of deadly attacks in afghanistan as the u.s. troops out of the country all local forces there really going to be able to take over secure. no there if this is it we're watching a charade unfold here in afghanistan the afghan army the afghan put national police force are never going to be able to control the country not just because there have been trained sufficiently but also because they're divided tribally when we are

gone when they go leaves they'll go back to their tribes and they'll fight each other again so the whole the whole house of cards will come down after the united states and its allies complete their their withdrawal withdrawal in defeat really you talk about a house of cards and even though america's number one and to me if you like and some of been knaves now dead's is the next time. well i think they're going after mullah omar the head of the taliban they're going after i mean i was always here e but just saying those things makes you realize i think that we're still approaching this is a law enforcement issue what cops and robbers issue i began a program back in one thousand nine hundred five where we were trying to capture or kill these people wanted a time so we're going after this we pursued this law and order approach now for sixteen years and there are many many more east lamaists in the field today with

guns fighting us than there were in one nine hundred ninety five so ultimately what we have after ten years of effort in afghanistan is a body count that's all we don't have any measure of progress against the enemy and what lay do you think the security situation in the region is still say tense despite the fact as we were saying earlier that it's almost in line and how it's now being called. it just doesn't seem to be improving well been a lot. well bin laden you know the taliban had grown to the point in afghanistan where it could lead the insurgency by itself it really did need al qaeda as fighters his role in the insurgency there is primarily right now logistics and maybe a little training and that continues even with bin laden's death but the those kind of hard story the hard fact is that we went there with one mission which was to destroy the taliban and to destroy al qaeda and quite frankly we haven't killed

enough of the enemy and their supporters to make any difference we instead tried to build a western democracy in a country that's conservatively islamic and deeply islamic and so we've failed to do there and the situation is going to remain violent and probably. detrimental certainly very detrimental to pakistan as long as we stay there as long as the ally in stays in afghanistan well attending to very recent events now norway first thoughts were that it would be the work of an islamic terrorist what we saw unfolding in a little bit see results showed it to be very different what do you think that tells us who do you think is turned out to be the enemy in that situation. well i don't know if it's so important who he was himself he was a killer who killed the extraordinary number of people but i think what it does say

is what british ambassador british prime minister cameron in chancellor merkel of germany said that multiculturalism has failed in western europe and in the united states and in canada and elsewhere and there are large numbers of people who are not going to pick up guns and shoot anyone but there's a large number of people in the west who believe that the multiculturalists the people who are forcing changes in western culture in western religion and western civilization are really the enemy and that's certainly what the man in norway felt and i don't think he's alone again he's probably in a very small minority who will pick up a gun and do something but the governments who have allowed endless amounts of open immigration who have who have made free speech much less viable in the west they're at base the cause of what happened in norway it was an

overreaction to a puppet to a failed policy at least according to people like cameron and merkel turning now to libya the thirty countries recognize the rebel council as libya's they just make government now put. there are hottest so the west is helping to put into power in islamist government that will have as its strong right arm people who fought the united states and its allies formerly the red army in afghanistan and iraq and. is as brain dead policy and intervention in the muslim world as we've seen. we talk a lot about freedom and democracy but what comes next in libya is some kind of an islamist government and what the muslim world is seeing of course is nato again bombing a muslim country that has oil and so there's nothing but loss here for the west and

smoke that covered the city was equivalent to smoking a pack of cigarettes every hour now the question on everyone's mind is whether the smog misery is back again peed bongs may look harmless with just tiny flames on the surface but in fact every square meter requires a ton of water to extinguish the fire burning deep underground before you get ever down why did it during a small greenpeace beneath the surface may undermine or work with the authorities insist the situation is under control and most of the flies in moscow region have been successful extinguished however campaign is city officials are under reporting the extent of the problem both around moscow and across the country. after the situation has made it worse by the bureaucrats instead of written swiftly build all the time concealing the information about fires and does make it more difficult to get the bill in time but it would. campaigners say part of the problem is that the

forests are being mistreated they say more needs to be done to prevent fires by better management with summer at its peak remnants of camp fires are all of course the forest despite a ban introduced a month ago. and there is only so much one tears can do when i was driving into the forest that is seeing it for the rings i use there is a huge placard at the entrance the record breaking heat of summer two thousand and ten resulted in devastating forest fires that killed sixty two people destroyed one hundred ninety nine towns and reduced thirty two hundred houses to ashes but the fire was literally coming towards us we could hear the trees crackling they were burning and then who's the wind blew it the other way. this year most of the countries against weltering and the fires are raging once more large areas of forest have already been destroyed in russia's far east while parts of the north are already choking on small and with all the still to go russians from the capital
