in the russian capital you're watching r t i'm marina josh welcome to the program violence has flared again in northern ca so after nato troops brutally dispersed a crowd of serbian protestors 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 in the hot spot and sends this report. friday the k. four troops removed one of the barricades which. the course was set up in order to block the police and the k. four 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 two large trucks on

a bridge thus blocking the road access for troops into the northern part of course it was still more than ten people remain in local hospitals and neither of us in the town of. after being injured in tuesday's clashes with the k. four troops we managed to pay them a visit and ask them what exactly happened on tuesday. we were standing by the barricade when the soldiers started shouting and shooting at us i didn't know what they were shooting with so i got scared and started running away and i was hit on the shoulder and it turned out to be a perforated my lungs really the most interesting fact here is that the k. four 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 his room or to

seven men in heavy condition gunshot wounds fractures and bruises there were not wounds from rubber bullets not a single of them had a rubber room all those wounds were caused by regular bullets which we extract it from their bodies and 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. the determination of the sort of people is very strong to show that they do not want to be part of the course of a republic. they are telling us to leave but we have no way to leave this is because cost is our land our home and i like it seems to be on their own now stand our ground. there has been very harsh international response on the actions this week here in kosovo with the united states accusing the course of the serbs of

provoking violence and the russian foreign ministry expressing deep concerns over the situation here saying that this may seem as a small as a minor border crossing dispute but in reality this could destabilize the situation in the whole region. reporting there and as tempers rise yet again and possible the presence of nato troops there maybe becoming a stimuli for yet more violence rather than a barrier against it that's according to a political analyst and belgrade. they've totally and openly stepped out of there you want to mandate and they're really really now just like during one nine hundred ninety nine during the bombing when they were at the air force for the albanian separatists. their infantry so this is what we have this is a clear breach of the u.n. charter and the resolution twelve forty four all they're doing right now is that they're actually. destabilizing the situation there are actually bringing conflict

. everything was reasonably peaceful until they gave the green light for albanian special police forces to forcibly take the administrative border. and ever since then they've been given them full support so they're encouraging actually the government in prishtina. headed by a caution toci who is wanted for various charges from organ trafficking to drug trafficking they're encouraging him to more violence that they're not a peaceful at all they're a total thought through of war and destabilization. and we'll be bringing in more updates from cost and 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 a. dot com slash. from the latest pictures of the most wide ranging peanuts all they are now we've got all the latest news features interviews and analysis you can also have your say

there in the comments section discuss the news that's all at youtube dot com slash . it's. the russian press. he said. the best man. joins me live from more on this. has been the reaction to. 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 news. in russia. and interviews with. we could move correctly that it's decided not to run for office and. job. well known russian newspaper. well they say that. even though it's no no which. president. is going to run for. president

in russia even though that's no no. it's still not clear which political program. and what's going to be the political program of the united russia party which is going to. parliamentary election. since there are just the. president and the prime minister but there's no official political program and neither from the party. from the current prime minister but. they say that by making this announcement finally. finally closed the deal off. to during the presidential in the more so that is some positive analysis they say. experts

say that this should create a positive. election just to remind you need to be explained his decision not to run for a second term in office and instead recommended to the prime minister of portugal for the job that this decision was caused by two main aspects first of all. according to. nearly the same. economic and political. 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. need to do different. polls show that the president does enjoy a positive approval rating amongst the voters but still. the prime

minister of the most political figure in the country says that his main political ambition is to continue to. put forward by the administration and by the government. the. presidential seats during the next election in order for these policies to continue and actually newspapers there's been a lot. tension on the sacking of. former finance minister. the second most important political event just in the recent days here in russia and many. many analysts connected the decision to. the former finance minister but the fact that. and he's working as part of the political machine and is making the steps in order for these policies to continue

it was quite a surprise for me about. this was. back that economists known to be a very high caliber professional was always there. in the same in the same side of the government and the administration was just that afternoon to give me the announcement and his plans. if he would have had government. 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 some analysts are saying but also. talk to some other analysts who say that this was totally unpredicted move and this means that more on predicted moves unpredictable moves can happen. to be.

kind of creates a lot of questions. happen during the time the president we are expecting another t.v. media meeting with the president before the end of. that should shed more light on the situation. well certainly a very intense political week there. let's now take a listen at what political analyst had to say. before coming to power million gave an interview to foreign journalists here in moscow i was also present and i remember that mandate of south i am a part of the state machine no i think mediator was serious i think it was sincere he's a part of the machine he acknowledges it he wants the machine tool function perfectly this is one of the reasons why he was so angry with cooled it. but it goes to be there an earlier your post kind of giving us dates of what's been going on in the

political scene here in russia while 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 today. the sky's the limit eight hundred russian paratroopers drop 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 heart dot com. you're watching live from moscow residents of the libyan capital tripoli have taken to the streets to protest the presence of heavily armed revolutionary fighters

bands of young rebels brandishing weapons splot of the city during the capital's fall back in august meanwhile thousands of civilians. the coastal city of syria intensified fighting between anti and pro get out in groups heavy shelling and tank fire has been heard on the eastern and western fronts and nato planes were seen flying overhead aid agencies are ringing the alarm bell saying that the town is plunging into humanitarian chaos with supplies of water power and food dressed achille lauro the red cross official in tripoli says the internally displaced people or i.d.p.'s are in a desperate situation. well the situation inserts we have heard accounts of i.d.p.'s about. water and electricity being cut of and a lot of difficulties with we do water supplies with 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 are fleeing from the city of sirte passing through bridge and many of these ideas have choosing to remain around as closely as possible to their hometown 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 pro get out and support the

outlook seems grand robert perry from online investigative magazine consortium news says those who bad the colonel have no chance in the new libya because no one will protect them. but seems that the goal now is to simply wipe out what's left of gadhafi forces and to bring the country under the control of the former rebels who are now recognized as the official government of libya in other words the people the state of the civilians happen to be on the side of khadafi are not going to be protected they're going to punish how far they go with that it's unclear it 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 tia was

a libyan and he came from this general area and now we know that one of the leaders of the rebel forces that took tripoli was also considered very close joe biden was indeed detained by the united states for some time before he was allowed to go free so it appears that the people with the guns on the side of the libyan rebels are now the government are 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 is under the control of this of this force 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 the country from the turmoil for ten years. of you know the. war it probably is not a we're not. going to we used to go to war and more americans and others going.

to ask people in new york whether they think the decade of fighting was worth their results. the leadership remains on phased by the festering debt crisis in greece maintaining that greece should not cannot and will not default their message however is folly on increasingly deaf ears as leading economists investor is an academic say it's inevitable meanwhile are mobilizing for you mass rallies as government imposed stared begins to break the back of the country's economy salaries pensions and jobs are free falling while taxes and cuts soar all in an effort to satisfy demands in return for yet more debt in the form bailouts and according to william dart most an m.e.p. for the u.k. independence party the obsession with the euro can only end in disaster. as far as greek concern out here is to the single currency means higher taxes lower

government expenditure cuts in the 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 it 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 all of this european elite and we should look very carefully at what they have to say in the future these are and they are discredited and what is very worrying is that as my as my phone. they used to say to me when i was a young man he said if you make a financial guarantee the nature of financial guarantees is that they get caught and there is a limit to how much even a country like germany can produce and of course 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 trillions of yours which are required are actually paid up and

called on and it was a growing market certainty that the greek crisis will and in the fogarty's max kaiser and stays in her would discuss why the greek government is so determined to nor rather than to tan to the reality the kaiser report is coming your way next hour but here's a brief preview. the world bank the fed to be oh you all agree we can't talk the 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 papantonio should a solution require a fifty percent haircut as as i believe the current fronts ministers suggest of may the most from the financial crisis in greece. and affects to the rest of the eurozone and that the discussion and such options. yes pop antonio financial harpies i mean that's and he doesn't want to talk about it

understandably but the cure for financial herpes yanis pap 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 harpies i realize it's embarrassing and you should have been fornicating with the i.m.f. they gave you the financial harpies. 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 medical costs police detained him after a first spraying him with water the attempt 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 strikes the targeted u.s. born terrorist anwar all walk eales so hit a top al qaeda bomb maker delivering

a major blow to the group both were allegedly involved in a number of attacks on america including a foil the christmas day bombing in two thousand and nine but american writer and investigative journalist jeremy skiles says it's still unclear if a walkie 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 and no one wants to talk about this. after nine eleven was a mainstay on 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 locky 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 mark stand here since the u.s. invasion harshness found out u.s. citizen still don't believe this war story will have a happy ending. it's been ten years since the u.s. bombed afghanistan as a prelude to an ongoing war a decade later has it been worth it this week let's talk about that for was this november so what are they still doing there for ten years i don't know what the hell. they do and i don't know it's probably another vietnam. 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 it seems clear cut see that it's not worth but i don't see a goal and i 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 the right of the star with our special forces and for the past nine years i don't think we've accomplished much at all a very controversial question and there's pros and cons to the situation what are the pros the pros is i think that we have to make a statement that we aren't able to. say 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 do we have to do. well eventually we got to bring peace and i mean that's such a nebulous thing right like why we really bringing peace to afghanistan well only

time will tell you know i don't really know enough about it to say whether it was worth it and you know don't 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 do you think most americans feel that way you know i'm sure a lot of americans there they have a good pro and anti i look at this so i mean for for a war there for that long i mean i better be for something and we better be getting something out of it do you think that's going to happen now it seems like most people don't feel like the u.s. war in afghanistan has been worth it unfortunately no one in power seems to be listening. i'll be back with a top story shortly so stay with us here on r.t. .
