more violence erupts in northern casillas nato troops adopt a shoot to kill policy towards for testers demonstrating against the seizure of a disputed checkpoint. with all eyes on the upcoming presidential poll in washoe you go to the breast which is de justice the residence where you see those moves on his political bloods. one of get off these last wrong hole stands on the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe with civilians being driven out of their homes by fierce

fighting at a lab to file supplies. in the russian capital you're watching r t i'm arena josh welcome to the program violence a slayer began in northern caso after a nato troops brutally dispersed a crowd of serbian protesters at a makeshift roadblock witnesses say the troops fired live ammunition at peaceful demonstrators and have now established a forceful presence in the area are just like here chefs in the hot spot and send us this report. friday the k. four troops removed one of the barricades which. set up in order to block the police and the k. for troops from gaining access to the area and we understand that more than one hundred k. four troops came over there pointed their guns at the blockading this particular

area and ordered them that they should leave the serbs obeyed and retreated peacefully with no violence and set up another a manmade checkpoint with two large trucks on a bridge thus blocking the road access ok for troops into the northern part of course there was still more than ten people remain in local hospitals and neither of us in the town of. after being injured into these clashes with the k four troops we managed to pay them a visit and ask them what exactly happened on tuesday. this. we were standing by the barricade when the soldiers started shouting and shooting at us i didn't know what they were shooting read so i got scared and started running away and i was hit from the shoulder and it turned out to be a perforated my loudly the most interesting fact here is that the case for troops and nato have been trying to convince everybody that they only used rubber bullets and tear gas grenades against the angry mob to pacify them but doctors and local

hospitals told us that they those people who were injured in those clashes were delivered to hospitals carrying gunshot wounds to the room forty seven men and heavy condition concha fractures and bruises they were not from rubber bullet will not a single of them had a rubber room all those wounds were caused by regular bullets which we extract from their bodies. now the serbs may have lost one of their checkpoints but they have lots more around the area we've counted more than ten different checkpoints of the . it's i mean nation of this sort of people is very strong to show that they do not want to be part of the course of a republic. the are telling us to leave but we have no right to leave this is because casa world is our land our home and i like it seems to be on our own now will stand our ground. there has been very harsh international response on the

actions of this here in the course of war with the united states accusing the course of the serbs of provoking violence and the russian foreign ministry expressing deepest concerns over the situation here saying that this may seen as a small as a minor border crossing this but in reality this could destabilize the situation in the whole region. i suggest you record there and as tempers rise yet again and possible the presence of nato troops they are maybe becoming a stimuli for yet more violence rather than a barrier against it that's according to the example of political analyst and belgrade. they have totally and openly stepped out of the un mandate and they're really really now just like during one nine hundred ninety nine during the bombing when there was the air force for the albanian separatists are now acting as their infantry so this is what we have this is a clear breach of the u.n.

charter and of the resolution twelve forty four all they're doing right now is that they are actually. destabilizing the situation there actually bringing conflict. everything was reasonably peaceful until they gave the green light for our albanian special police forces to all forcibly taken the administrative border back could july and ever since then they've been giving them full support disappearing courage and actually the government in prishtina headed by a hotshot toci who is wanted for various charges from organ trafficking to drug trafficking and that they're encouraging him to more violence so they're not a peace factor at all they're polled thought through of war and the stabilization. and we'll be bringing in more updates from cost as they happen but if there's anything you missed or you want to see the latest videos from the air and around the world you can has it our youtube channel at youtube dot com slash our team.

makes him the best man for the candidacy i do see orcas going on joins me live for more on this more as you go or so what has been the reaction to be had as wages comments here in russia. good morning and surely this issue of the president's interview with the heads of the three biggest t.v. stations in russia which was aired on friday dominated the pages of most newspapers here in russia this saturday was a finale and interviews with various experts and political journalists and since we could mediate defacing said correctly did it explain why he decided not to run for a second term in office and instead recommended to prime minister vladimir putin for russia's top job. well known russian newspaper community sunday well they say that. even though it's no no no

who which. published politician out of the town there meaning the president and the prime minister is going to run for. president in russia even though that's now known in this plan that as going to be pushing out of the two it's still not clear which political program for the good of the one who was going to have and what's going to be the political program of the united russia party which is going to take part in the upcoming parliamentary election. since there are just separate statements made by the president and the prime minister but there is no official political program and neither from the party or from the current prime minister but is this to a newspaper a very popular one also here in russia they say that by making this announcement finally shedding light on the political plans off the turn down the committee of finally closed the deal list of the major here is to during that upcoming

presidential poll in the mortgage so that is some positive analysis analysis they say their experts say that they should. create a positive political climate in russia. until that election comes just to remind you need to be to fix wayne his decision not to run for a second term in office and instead recommended to the prime minister vladimir putin for the job saying that this decision was caused by two main aspects first of all. according to me the video share. nearly the same views on most economic and political social issues in the country and they are planning to continue working side by side so there's no competition according to the president between them on that and the second aspect is that this is according to different.

polls show the president does enjoy a positive approval rating amongst the voters but it's still. the prime minister who is the most popular political figure in the country i need to do that says that his name political ambition is to continue to set off policies put forward by the administration and by the government so it is absolutely vital. for the. presidential seats during the next election in order for these policies to continue and actually newspapers saval so there's been a lot of attention on the sacking of. former finance minister. probably the second most important political event just in the recent days here in russia and. many analysts connect to the decision to sack for the former

finance minister but the fact to guide me that he did if he wants to continue these policies and he's working as part of the political machine and is making the steps in order for these policies to continue was quite a. surprise for me about. the sacking since this was. still is a very respected economist and known to be a very high caliber professional was always there to do the same on the same side of the government and the administration was just that afternoon he did it for me the announcement of his plans. being said that if he would head to the government. he couldn't wouldn't find his place there since he doesn't agree with some of the policies so maybe the president is working to preserve these policies and to be part of this mechanism some analysts are saying but it's also going to sun newspaper talk to some other analysts who see that this was totally

unpredicted move and this means that move on predicted moves unpredictable moves can happen since. you kind of creates a lot of questions if you want to happen during the time as president of russia but we are expecting another t.v. media meeting with the president before the end of his room so that should shed more light on the situation. well certainly a very intense political week there. were let's now take a listen at what our political analysts need from bondage had to say before coming to power. gave an interview to foreign journalists here in moscow i was also present and i remember that and later south on the part of the state machine no i think madrid it was serious i think it was sincere keys are part of the machine he

acknowledges it he wants the machine to function perfectly this is one of the reasons why he was so angry with called it. was there an earlier york is kind of giving us dates of what's been going on the political scene here in russia well you can watch the full interview with president dmitry medvedev on our website along with all the other stories and videos and here's what we've got for you there today . the sky's the limit eight hundred russian paratroopers dropped to earth as part of their elite training check out all the pictures and the website gallery section . and not so great britain the u.k. is singled out as europe's worst place to live in a new quality of life poll find out why brits have it so bad at hearty dot com.

what an hour to live from moscow residents of the libyan capital tripoli have taken to the streets to protest the presence of heavily armed revolutionary fires bands of young rebels brandishing weapons a lot of the city during the capital's fall back in august meanwhile thousands civilians how the coastal city of syria intensified firing between entire program groups heavy shelling and fire has been heard on the eastern and western fronts and nato planes were seen flying overhead agencies are ringing the alarm bell saying that the town is plunging into a humanitarian chaos with supplies of water power and food dressed to kill you long red cross official in tripoli says the internally displaced people or i.d.p.'s are in a desperate situation. but the situation in search we have heard accounts of i.d.p.'s

about. water and electricity being cut off and a lot of difficulties with the with the water supplies with the access to food and access to medical supplies and medical health services we have not been able to have the guarantees from all the sides all the parties to the conflict so we have no idea of what's going on right now in the city of sirte unfortunately what we do know is that there are a lot of i.d.p.'s coming out people are fleeing from the city of sirte busting through the tower bridge and many of these ideas pieces have chosen to remain around as closely as possible to their home town they are living in difficult conditions there are a lot of children and women also pregnant women who have difficult access to medical care so the situation is dire we are very concerned especially

about their health situation right now. and pro for procardia supporters the outlook seems graham robert perry from online investigative magazine consortium news says so bad the colonel have no chance and you leave you because no one will protect. but seems that the goal now is to simply wipe out what's left of i don't use for sense and to bring the country under the control of the former rebels who are now recognised as the official government of libya in other words the people who are still the civilians who happen to be on the side of gadhafi are not going to be protected and they're going to punish how far they go with that it's unclear there may be efforts to negotiate some final surrender but clearly there's a great deal of suffering going on in these civilians are not being protected there is evidence even going back to the very beginning that the eastern part of libya

was a hotbed of islamic radicalism some of these people have been connected to al qaida one of the al qaeda leaders who was killed recently a two year was a libyan and he came from this general area now we know that one of the leaders of the rebel forces that took tripoli was also considered very close to al qaida and was indeed chained by the united states for some time before he was allowed to go free so it appears that people with the guns on the side of the libyan rebels and how the government or people who have this very mixed background and it's not clear how that also sorts out when you get down to the point of once the country's under the control of this forest which side of this force will will be predominant. u.s. backed military operation in libya still hasn't brought peace to the region something that has been its primary goal meanwhile america's presence in afghanistan could not pull a country from the turmoil fourteen years. of you know the

thought. that probably is not are we not. you know this was going to be just a case of more and more americans and others going to. ask people in new york whether they think the decade of fighting was worth the results. that the leadership remains on phased by the festering death crisis and greece maintaining that greece should not cannot and will not default their message however is folly on increasingly deaf ears as a leading economist investor is an academic say it's inevitable greece meanwhile are mobilizing for you mass rallies as government imposed a sterile begins to break the bad of the country's economy salaries pensions and jobs are free falling while taxes and cut soar all in an effort to satisfy e.u. demands in return for yet more debt in the form of bailouts and according to

william dartmouth an m.e.p. for the u.k. independence party that obsession with the euro can only end in disaster. as far as greek people concern out here is to the single currency means higher taxes low gov expenditure and the cuts in their standard of living and also for and also even even for a country like germany in fact specifically a country like germany appearance of the single currency means massive transfer payments paid to countries in southern europe and what's happening is that the germans are no longer putting up with it we shouldn't be where we are now and it is because of the fanaticism of this european elite and we should look very carefully of what they have to say in the future these are real human and they are discredited and what is very worrying is that as my as my father used to say to me when i was a young man he said if you make a financial guarantee the nature of five financial guarantees is that they get caught and there is a limit to how much even

a country like germany can produce because a country like france is actually much much less and there will be a long term question marks over the credit credit worthiness of france and germany if the multiple koreans of yours which are required are actually paid up and called on. and it was growing market certainty that the greek crisis will and in the fogarty's matts kaiser and stays here would discuss why the greek government is so determined to ignore rather than see the reality the kaiser report is coming your way next hour but here's a brief preview. the world bank bad to be o.e. all agree there we can't talk truth here in the financial world here's a little video clip i want to turn to and this is the former greek finance minister yeah no it's papantonio should a solution require a fifty percent haircut as as i believe the current finance minister suggested i will may see it the more from the financial crisis in greece a lot of videos see this compaction affects the rest of the eurozone and i think

discussion and such options is not that it's not helpful to pop antonio financial herpes i mean that's and he doesn't want to talk about it understandably but the cure for a financial herpes yanis antonio is you've got to talk about it you've got to go to the doctor or whatever and you've got to take care of your financial herpes i realize it's embarrassing and he should have been fornicating at the i.m.f. they gave me the financial herpes. now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world a man astride a set himself on fire in the chilean capital protesting against his wife's high medical costs police detained him after first spraying him with water the tam comes as thousands of medical workers take to the streets demanding an improvement in labor conditions chile has also been witnessing large scale student protests demanding the government continues to provide free public education. the white

house says the drone strike the targeted u.s. born terrorist. also hit a top al qaeda bomb maker delivering a major blow to the group both of them were allegedly involved in a number of attacks on america including a floral christmas day bombing in two thousand and nine american rider and investigative journalist jeremy skiles says it's still unclear if you pose a genuine threat to u.s. security. most of the people yapping about anwar locky had never heard of him or if they did they probably knew something that was factually incorrect you know the reality is that most credible sources say that this was a guy whose primary threat to the united states was his ability to go on youtube and preach his message of hatred and let's also remember no one wants to talk about this. after nine eleven was a mainstay of the news hour with jim lehrer he was in the washington post as

a voice of moderation condemning nine eleven but also condemning u.s. policy so it's quite likely that anwar locking himself was radicalized as a result of what was perceived widely in the muslim world to be a war against islam we don't spend a lot of time studying or talking about blowback in this country but we should because you could make a reasonable case that he was a product of u.s. policy he seemed to be a guy that was very much critical of nine eleven up to the u.s. invasion of iraq. afghanistan marks stand years since the u.s. invasion but as laurie harmfulness found out u.s. citizens still don't believe this war story will have a happy ending. it's been ten years since the u.s. power into afghanistan as a prelude to an ongoing war a decade later has it been worth it this week let's talk about that. so what is

going to ing there for ten years i don't know what. they do and i don't know it's probably not of the. war where the problem is not a we're not. going to win it's just a case of more and more americans and others dying i think it's clear cut to you that it's not worth but i don't see a goal and i don't really see anything changing even if we stay there another hundred years it was worth it to hunt down al qaeda but i think we did they're ready to start with our special forces and for the past nine years i don't think we've accomplished much at all very controversial question there's pros and cons to the situation what are the pros the proses i think that we have to make a statement that we aren't able to. see things sitting down that we have a voice and whether it's there's more peaceful ways to present that probably how does it go on for ten years that you take a stand for ten years it's a hornet's nest there's no winner over there we have great. we're in there with

them but what we have to do. well eventually we got to bring peace and i mean that's such a nebulous thing right like are we really bringing peace to afghanistan well only time will tell you know i don't really know enough about it to say what it was worth there and i you know do you think that's crazy that your country's been at war for ten years and you don't know anything about it that is a problem. but yeah most americans feel that way and you know i'm sure a lot of americans there will be a pro and so i i look at this right i mean for the for a war there for that long i mean i better be for something. we better be yes a bit out of it and that's going to happen now it seems like most people don't feel like the u.s. war in afghanistan has been worth that unfortunately no one in power these to be listening.

i'll be back with a top story shortly so stay with us here on r.t. .

twenty years ago just country. the sorts of places that the. us have been trying. to teach began a journey. where take the. very first verses of the bible all human beings are created by the middle came in god's image and it doesn't say just jews or nine hundred. sixty to seventy percent of what i do . did as a combat soldier in the occupied territories listen to what the turds doing what we call making our presence so we go out should some bozo they hear a knock on some doors for the other quarter of it or not our religion and nationalism not as judaism and a very a part of the problem they've been part of what leads to. bloodshed

if you want to bomb guys are and kill a thousand four hundred people in a month and you want to expect that this will have no effect they're going to feel you have to be either extremely naive or extremely stupid not to be. a religious jew calling another joke and not finding out the way they really didn't.
