not all unexploded ordinance is accidental eighty two nations are contaminated with landmines landmines that kill or maim fifteen to twenty thousand civilians per year in afghanistan there are ten to twelve landmine casualties each day the issue of landmines is a critical one in afghanistan and there are two ways that you can tell if they are they are present the first is of course if the grass hasn't been grazed if the grass is tall and standing and there's no it evidence that it's been eaten there are probably landmines in the shepherds are keeping their animals away but the second when the local people find land mines they tend to paint rocks and they paint them red on one side and white on the other and on the red side is where the land mines are located. whole point ok they're like ok. the problem is when you have a landslide or a flood which washes through a landmine area first of all the land mines are actually picked up and distributed

across other areas and second the rocks become obviously mixed and jumbled up so we've been in a situation before we were driving down the road we came across a creek bed where flashflood actually washed landmines across the road so it was a major security risk and we couldn't actually move beyond the road until we got some mine clearance people to come in. touch the boy seeing these children and listen to them so it's part of an awareness program run by the british team a good favorite for their low cost down along the charity land mines were laid heavily by both sides during the cambodian vietnamese war today the un estimates that ten million mines remain in cambodian soil. i had occasion to visit an arm and a few years ago and that's probably the most pressing. seen. that

i've ever encountered them there were countless cambodian man with their legs blown off above the knee who were scooting through the dirt begging in the marketplace. and they were for the most part mine victims. war is not healthy for anybody the combatants or the people who are caught up in it recent studies in iraq and mortality come up with a range of excess mortality in the tens of thousands. of children have particularly vulnerable to the effects of war in a number of first states. honest the most

disturbing studies that indicate sea impact of all on children it was a team of experts from harvard which mention iraq in the right can see ninety ninety one call for the study team estimated that the war and the sanctions that followed so she can access states of fifty to seventy thousand iraqi children as children we're trying to latch numbers from simple infectious disease such as typhoid cholera hepatitis it's a trick and the reason for that was a deliberate decision that was taken in the mansion on one war to destroy iraq's electricity generating capacity and without electricity sanitation water purification its kind happen says children were crying if it came next of infectious to say so. it would not take very long just a matter of weeks for washington d.c. or new york city to become pretty unlivable if we didn't have electricity for water

purification if we didn't have gasoline for our sanitation trucks to remove the garbage we would be overrun by rats and other vermin our water would become contaminated we would go a cholera and dysentery and that typhus we would have plague and we have forgotten all of this especially when we go out and destroy the infrastructure of other countries. culture is the same argument is limited in a real economy to a currency in crisis and an unknown future but is there a simple. game in. the are

in the russian capital you're watching r t with me arena joshie welcome to the program a huge chance to thought frozen ties with russia a british prime minister's description of his official visit to moscow a first by u.k. mirror since two thousand and five relations between the two countries have been strained in recent years over a number of issues notably in the poisoning death of a former russian security agent and one that argues an isa now has more in david cameron's visit. look at the both sides have agreed to disagree pretty much the show must go on and both russia and britain understand back some six years full of many issues on which the two quincy i tried at lax mutual understanding let's not forget the litter in yankee song when former russian security officer alexander litvinenko was poisoned by polonium and died in london britain then was looking to bring back a russian citizen which it thought could have been behind the killing that was followed by a diplomatic route expulsions and pretty much although not official as severing of

ties on the highest level also over the past couple of years british authorities reluctant to actually tight russian citizens wanted by courts here in moscow just a lot of issues that have really interrupted moving forward in both russia and britain one got to stop both countries understand their responsibility as major economies in light of the financial crisis there's a major geo underworked under works between shell and russia's gas from of course in the energy sphere and bruce investment in russia has reached forty billion dollars by the end of twenty time so both the leaders and of course business men alike one fat relationship to continue to develop in a positive light that it's been doing so since the global financial crisis of two thousand and eight both countries are holding upcoming olympic it was one hundred and twenty trials russia is sochi and trying to fourteen so they certainly have a lot that they can talk about and that's just in bilateral relations they are

certainly going to be touching the most pressing global issues and we're hearing on the top of that agenda will be libya let's not forget that britain along with france were two of the first countries to really push to secure that u.n. resolution to go into libya and with some of the first forces in the country they're also going to be speaking about syria and perhaps you want nuclear program as well we're not expecting any kind of major breakthrough about these two. but certainly both sides are hoping that this is at least the first steps or perhaps even the beginning of a reset. artes and he's now a fair reporting on today's talks between the british and russian leaders in moscow . italy's much disputed fifty four billion euro is tara the package to slash the country's crippling debt will go through a final debate of the lower house of parliament on monday it would increase taxes and cut government spending to balance the budget by two thousand and thirteen a constant changes to the plan and squabbling between lawmakers has damaged

people's faith in it and as i've abandoned reports there's a town that's decided it doesn't want to wait for the cuts. welcome to filipino a small town in the middle of italy it also claims to be an independent principality and to privet it's even started printing its own money the man on a new note says town mayor lucas a lhari now self-proclaimed prince i guess everyone dreams of being a prince when they're a little boring and so did i now i get to live that dream filipinos going solo in protest over government plans to slash council funding it wants all towns to merge having the number of local authorities with a population of just six hundred filipino and its mayor a for the chop. it's a terrible idea because it makes no economic sense we have everything here to be

autonomous and besides our neighboring towns are at least thirty kilometers away so it's not practically possible it wouldn't even save that much money most regional administrations do nothing because you get rid of them instead of the cancer part of a forty five billion euro austerity package italy's in deep debt one hundred twenty percent of g.d.p. the second highest in europe but unions are furious with the cuts accusing the government of punishing those already at their poorest even some of silvio berlusconi's own allies now oppose them with amendments piling up but filipinos fed up the term and to be the next san marino a constitutional republic within italy that has no national debt a rare thing in europe the methinks the town can live off its natural resources of wood and water but currently profits go to private companies there are constitutional hurdles but since autonomy is not illegal it could just be

a matter of time at the moment these notes aren't legal tender they just souvenirs but the plan is for two theory to be worth one euro and for this. through the only currency they could be spent in the shops and restaurants here business is always been slow in this sleepy town but shopkeepers hope the new money will bring new cash. i'm sure that once we start using the new currency the economic situation here will significantly improve it will have a positive effect on tourism of course attracting new peoples of the town. far from being a p.r. stunt filipino means business and berlusconi knows it he's visiting the town later this month to stave off the rebellion and he'll have a fight on his hands filipinos a source of rome's water supply and that may is threatening to cut it off if he doesn't get what he wants other than it r.t. filipino italy. debt laden greece meanwhile is planning to impose

a property tax it claims will let the country meet the demands of its lenders a greek prime minister has already pledged to move ahead with highly unpopular affair you measures later this hour we'll talk to a greek employee. who says joining the euro zone was different mental to his country's financial health. and with the help of the european union greek farmers have started to produce and can imagine a country like greece right now can't feed its people we don't produce enough meat we don't produce enough we even oil we are importing and we had skin from the good opinion the farmers were paid so that they wouldn't produce anything. we've destroyed one of the main vassals of our economy the investment over europe were only to sell germany you know what's the biggest investment it's made in

greece for the past ten years super markets. and we ended up buying german prague. buying german cause maybe greece borrowed a lot of money in the past ten years from you know from germany especially. how much money germany has made out of greece the past ten years you'll discover that it's more than what we borrow. as country after country in the eurozone imposes cuts leading to more cuts causing public anger to spill out into the streets we ask if there is a way out a leader some potential people in the know join the debate on crosstalk. the banking interests in europe crippled the central bank they didn't want to some fall back they create credit they say we want governments to come to us and pay us interest and we want to rip off the economy don't have a central bank don't have

a public option let us raise your cost of doing business give us the business so of course there should be a central bank unfortunately something is enough to create employment in the government deficit not the hope that people got to give more money to the banks to bail them out that is rotten that is some troll bank lobbyist and that shouldn't happen and if that's so they create a central bank then good for the europeans for saying to hell with angela merkel. i have to concur with michael on this i mean i think essentially what we see is continued rent seeking ever since the lisbon agreement and treaty what we've seen is really going back to maastricht is an attempt to liberalize into privatized credit creation so we have this rent seeking from the real economy to the financial sector and i don't see things changing. now that debate is coming your way and just over an hour here on our key and so i

had this hour ago america remember the victims of the worst terrorist attack in history a decade after the nine eleven attacks. in egypt and turkey turning their backs on israel which is war and it could soon be isolated in the region cute former allies expressing a growing resentment. wealthy british style. market why not. i know what's really happening to the global economy with my. stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to kaiser report on r.g.p. . would

be so much brighter if you move the sun from violence to. news for instance on t.v. dot com. iran's pushchair nuclear power plant will officially start operating when it starts to provide electricity to the national grid later on monday the facility which was built with russia's help came online last year russia's managing minister praised the efforts and working together and promised similar projects in the future they would just. gather with all you write in comfort parts went through difficulties and problems build a pushchair power plant and that they would can be proud of the results of their drawing the attention of the whole world i'm sure our food acculturation in

operating the station and developing other nuclear energy projects will be distinguished by the atmosphere we created while working together that's what that's. russia has agreed to provide fuel for the plan but iran will return all spam fuel to russia to ease western concerns over its uranium enrichment program iran has once again stressed its tomic ambitions are peaceful and are not aimed at building nuclear weapons. sunday was an emotional day for americans remembering the victims of the nine eleven attacks exactly ten years ago thousands gathered in a new york avenue memorial at ground zero and stewed in silence while the names of the three thousand people who died were read aloud ten years ago terrorists crashed hijacked planes into the twin towers of the world trade center in new york and the pentagon building in washington d.c. one more plane came down in the state of pennsylvania the u.s. responded with invasions in iraq and afghanistan for which it was hugely criticized

author and journalist afshin rattansi says washington's response to the attack was inadequate and will eventually backfire. i think institutional structures even in a country as advanced as the close or superpower on earth were at fault for many people with the institutional and bureaucratic procedures didn't allow them to. on this plane before they hit the world trade center and so forth but perhaps a bigger malays here is that all systems seem to have failed in the media the courts the police forces the intelligence agencies government it's as if this happens when employers start to fold the response from the united states to nine eleven was was so catastrophic to rome. some of them love my dog and what he wants but people all around the world are being affected so poorly so badly by u.s. policy lots of people in the global south still remember how their countries are

being distorted or destroyed in so many ways by american ground i think of american intervention in afghanistan and the other previously the soviet union has proved again and again very dangerous for the suit involved and afghanistan is not an easy place for america to take over and i think you more if as i say his first responsibility is really a carousel and people would say that probably and then to the wider region not to the united states so the idea that the united states can take succor from what's happened in afghanistan i don't think so and as true democracy building democracy building needs to be created from the ground up but it took a huge toll on the american economy as well and it's a sad day for some to study for those who believe in the constitution the original constitution of united states of america one of the greatest ever and see how superpowers they rise and therefore. have nine eleven stories and much more be sure

there but of with gaddafi now on the run journalists are conch and balance as nato is contradicting the initial eighteen of its mission. we have now nato was the main rebel commander in tripoli who was a former friend of al qaida and a so-called jihadi so this is really the big news story of today which in and hardly any of the news and the news networks are covering what has to learn that the rest will never give up its domination of the globe without devastating and taken the rest of the world to war so in his not so doing the main lesson for us to learn is how do we develop our effective internationalism against aggression or for worse the lessons of obviously being learned by the west because what they've done in libya and you know gadhafi has more of a social support in libya than the taliban do in afghanistan unlike when it's done libya is the neighboring europe so when the resistance that is raging in ben will lead them to go. in libya i think europe needs to watch its back.

a tectonic shift actually in treaty picture of the middle east governments need to want to continue to have a general atmosphere of known simply to israel and so western and so is ready rhetoric at the same time in reality they are dependent on american support and one of the aspects of turkey's move towards making a bid for regional leadership is once again the the very distinct pooling of to put it mildly its relations with israel so these approaches is of historical magnitude which israel can't really influence israel in a certain sense is only going to be able to pursue a policy of damage limitation hoping very much to keep these relationships with egypt with to keep as much on track as they possibly can doesn't really matter right now exactly what israel does israel is going to be increasingly isolated and it's going to be put in a very defensive situation that i think is the reality in the region we're looking forward to at the moment. now take a look at some of the stories from around the world counting is underway in guatemala presidential elections with former military general out of paris marina
