more violence erupts in northern cos it was nato troops adopt a shoot to kill policy toward serbian protest or is demonstrating against the seizure of a disputed chapter point. used papers are already getting their teeth into the upcoming political challenges facing russia's president did have says put his popularity makes him the best candidate for the top job. one of get out these last wrong hold stands on the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe with civilians being driven out of their homes by fierce fighting and lack of bile supply.

you know if you live from moscow any here on 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 just like here chefs in the hot spot and sent us this report. on friday at the k. four troops removed one of the barricades which. was set up in order to block the police and they paid for troops from gaining access to the area and we understand that more than one hundred twenty four troops came over there pointed their guns at the locating 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 ok for troops into the northern part of course there was still more than ten people remain in local hospitals in me that it's in the town of. after being injured into these clashes with a k four troops we managed to pay them a visit and ask them what exactly happened on tuesday. of this. 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. the most interesting fact here is that the k. four troops and nato have been trying to do to convince everybody that they only used rubber bullets and tear gas grenades against the angry mob to pacify them but doctors in local hospitals told us that they those people who were injured in those

clashes were delivered to hospitals carrying gunshot wounds to room. seven men in heavy condition gunshot wounds fractures and bruises they were not from rubber bullets not a single of them had a rubber hold those wounds were caused by a regular bullet 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 the determination of the sort of people is very strong now to show that they do not want to be part of the course of a republic. and they are telling us to leave we have no way to leave this is because constable is our land our home and our life it seems that we are on our own now and we will stand our ground. there has been very harsh international response the actions of this week here in kosovo with the united states using the

course of a service 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. i think there's rescue reporting there and as tempers rise yet again and possible the presence of nato troops there may be becoming a stimuli for yet more violence rather than a barrier against it that's according to those in a private political analyst in belgrade they've totally and openly stepped out of the un mandate and they're really really now just what three nine hundred ninety nine during the bombing when they were the air force for the albanian separatists are now that i can use their infantry so this is what we have seen 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. the stabilizing the situation there i should bring in conflict.

everything was reasonably peaceful until they gave the green light for albanian special police forces to forcibly taken the administrative border july and ever since then they've been giving them full support so they're encouraging actually the government in prishtina. headed by a caution car chief who was wanted for various charges from organ trafficking kind of drug trafficking that they're encouraging him to more violence so they're not a peace factor at all they're both true of war and the stabilization and we'll be bringing more updates from kossovo as we gather body there's anything you missed or you want to see the latest videos from there around and around the world of course you can head to our youtube channel and addresses youtube dot com slash r.t. from the latest pictures to the most wide ranging opinion it's all available there

heads of the three biggest t.v. stations in russia did focus on some of the most important to latest political events in the country such as his decision not to run for a second term in office his recommendation of prime minister of what he wanted to do for the top job and to the sudden dismissal of the now former finance minister ali secretly and so there is last analysis and opinions in saturday's press in russia opinions both positive and not so positive let's start with the crimean sun newspaper really worried well known here in russia and it's published an article trying to show you this is what was an article on the title of what were you after what's your ambition and the analysts that the newspaper was talking to have been saying that even though the meeting if passed finally announced his political plans and the plans of his stand them with prime minister why do you put in there's still a lot of uncertainty since the official political programs for the upcoming

parliamentary and presidential elections still have not been announced however this point of view is not shared by the analysts that he is this to newspaper or school to use another well known big newspaper in russia it's published a lot to go under the title of how significant is the timing and its analysts have been saying that the media has finally managed to cool the a list of the biggest winners during that upcoming presidential election next more trouble lots of focus is definitely on the sudden business or else now former finance minister aleksey khuda who is always thought to be the key ally both of the governments and of the president's administration the come a sudden newspaper says that step to dismiss him like receiving more questions into what else could happen while meeting with if he's still in office. however there

are analysts who say. the dismissal just shows that the president is serious in his omniscience before coming to power. gave an interview before enjoying this here in moscow i was also present there remember the days of so i love called the state machine you know i think an individual serious i think it was sincere keys are part of the machine she acknowledges it she wants the machine function perfectly this is one of the reasons why she will surely agree with called it just to merge the parliamentary election will be held in russia in the g summer and the presidential vote be held next more jamie think you can still afford indeed need to do this it's still going to be up to the people to decide who gets to run the country next despite the recommendation that you make me. your pissed off reporting there and you can watch the full interview with president of on our website along with all the other stories and videos here's what we've got for you there. the sky's the

limit eight hundred russian paratroopers dropped to earth as part of the european retrain check out all the pictures and r.t. website gallery section. and not so great britain and the u.k. singled out as europe's worst place to live in a new quality of life home i now live birds out it's so bad that part. 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 flooded the city during the capital's fall back in august meanwhile thousands of civilians have been fleeing the coastal city of fear do you. until i

find me and i'm pro get up and groups have the shelling and tank fire has been heard on the eastern and western fronts and they are planes were seen flying overhead aid agencies are ringing the alarm bell saying that the towers times into military and chaos with supplies of water power and food rescue low ever cross official in tripoli says firmly displaced people or i.d.p.'s are in a desperate situation. but the situation inserts we have heard accounts of i.d.p.'s. water and electricity being of and a lot of difficulties with the with the water supplies with 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 passing through that are bridge and many of these ideas peas have choosing to remain around as closely as possible to 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 for programs supporters the outlook seems grim robert perry from online investigative magazine consortium news says they're also back to karl have no chance of a 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 their people are still the civilians are going to be on the side of at our feet are not going to be protected they're going to be punished how far they go without it's unclear they may be efforts to negotiate some final surrender but clearly there's a great deal of suffering going on in the 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 zero zero zero zero zero zero zero hyder one of the leaders who was killed recently a cheer was a libyan any 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 to al qaeda and 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 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 one of the countries under the control of this sobers force which side of this force will will be dominant. in the last half military operation in libya still hasn't brought peace to the region despite as being its primary galveston as america's ten year presence in afghanistan still struggles to and the country's turmoil. it's probably another vietnam type. war where it probably is not a win or. the other side's going to win it's just a case of more and more americans and others telling r.t. asking for winning or whether as a thank you jacki the fighting was worth. am better harvest thousands of indians. farmers commit suicide is one of the drives eason's in death means devastates the country. leadership remains

by the festering death crisis in greece maintaining that greece should not and i will not default their message however is falling on recently deaf ears as leading economists investors and damage say it's inevitable. normalizing for a new mass rallies as government poses staring begins to break the back of the country's economy salaries pensions and job there are three falling while taxes of cuts for all the effort to satisfy e.u. demands in return for yet more there in the form of bailouts according to william darkness and. r.t. the e.u. is obsession with the euro can only end in disaster. because for the greek people a concern out here is to the single currency means higher taxes low gov expenditure and cuts in the son of the living and also for and also even even for a country like germany and france specifically a country like germany but here is 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 what they have to say in the future these are usually met 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 make sure fire financial guarantees is that they get calls 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 up. and was greeks up in arms about their government sponsored predicament the u.s. is also witnessing a growing protest movement of its own in the nation's financial heart after

a modest start two weeks ago of the demonstration made occupy wall street is rapidly growing with sixteen hundred people reported in tans today they say they are protesting against the tremendous influence and misdeeds of corporations and billionaires the otherwise peaceful demonstrations have been marred by a number of incidents involving alleged police abuse and intimidation coming up next hour artie's mechs kaiser and state herbert explore just why authorities are so keen to keep these protests quiet. then big brother bernanke goes watergate prepares to eavesdrop on everything mentioning the fed yes the fed is apparently seeking the creation of a social listening prop for him so they can see who's talking about them and importantly note when they're making negative comments and perhaps intervene and prevent this negative comments from happening but this is some of the unintended consequences of the patriot act this is the paranoia of the there bridging all

kinds of laws the number if you want to just do wholesale spying on people to try and figure out who out there is trying to get rid of the fed in this paranoid schizophrenia delusional mind set he's got let me just point one thing out ben bernanke i am volunteering to come to washington to help you straighten out your problem you read everything i've ever written and you eavesdrop on me all day long as stick a video camera. you'll find out that everything i'm said can only help you do your job better as a responsible person if you want to get out of the business of financial terrorism . what you are to devastated by pesticides and drought farming doesn't get much tougher than in india a lot of the driest seasons in decades has left thousands of farmers across the country with little crops and big debts even forcing some to take their own lives

and are pretty sure to reports the government has turned a blind eye to a growing problem. the sun is shining on these farm lands in southern india commonly known as the country's rice they may will watch but the grass is far from greener out here farmers are killing themselves in the thousands going to cause a lot of the most of the farmers are committing suicide and usually ruins of the other farmers who committed suicide rommel locksmiths husband is one of many who succumbed to drought and debt and took his own life some of the driest seasons in decades and an increase in pesticides and fertilizers have rendered their land bare for the grieving families left behind the future is ground. zero how should i carry on with my life and nothing is good for me and my children and there is no one to help us how do are going to this trouble someone has to help us. all the government

has attempted to deal with the high number of farmer suicides i conquered saving two thousand dollars to affected families many families say they haven't received any money and even those who have say it's not enough studies show that during the ninety's farmers were able to make around sixty dollars per acre of land every year today just about forty dollars for almost four acres of land the government has pledged billions of dollars in relief package is to farmers and promise to increase the minimum rate on certain exports but many believe the farmers are being ignored . the government is neglecting agriculture basic information like wind power will go north is not available for the farmers the government is north koreans for loans which is forcing the foam is to knock on the doors of money lenders. those who've tried to beat the drought themselves took out huge loans to take wells but for many

it's in being. we are losing by making these wells but we are surviving because we are determined not to come. we are leading a very sad life just sinking water levels mean these walls are useless but have left a deep hole in farmer's pockets to see things turn their backs on those who couldn't repay their debts the loan sharks are now demanding high interest rates and won't take no for an answer you have the money lenders and financiers are frequently visiting your home and torturing your house we want to be a huge tsunami we don't like drama luxe me are now the breadwinners tending to chew acres of desolate farmland and rolling cigarettes to earn money to feed her children like her late husband she has no one to turn to and no way out a lonely life even though there are thousands just like her preassure either party tell him gonna india. else take

a look some of the stories from around the world thousands of medical workers took to the streets of the chilean capital demanding an improvement in the labor conditions health unions organized the seventy two hour strike against privatizing the sector accusing the government of the lack of dialogue with health workers 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 that targeted u.s. born terrorist. also has a top al qaeda bomb maker delivering a major double blow to the group both of them were allegedly involved in a number of attacks in america including a wild christmas day bombing in two thousand and nine american rider investigative journalist jeremy scahill says it's still unclear if. genuine threat to u.s. security. but i think there's been tremendous exaggeration of the role in importance of anwar a lucky guy he was at best mid-level management of a q a p the greatest threat that

he posed to united states were his on line videos encouraging you. young english speaking muslims to join a jihad against the united states and you know that's that was despicable some could say it was hate speech or inciting violence but we have a way of dealing with people that engage in those kinds of activities particularly when they're u.s. citizens you don't just want to sesame them there would have been a way to deal with our moral locky that was not assassinating u.s. citizen without due process and i would love to see someone show evidence that he was posing a direct threat imminent threat to the united states which would have been required under the authorization for the use of military force to hit him in yemen afghanistan marks stand years since the u.s. invasion but as artie's laurie harkness 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. bound to afghanistan as a prelude to an ongoing war i think it later has it been worth it this week let's talk about that for war there's no better don't want today's girls doing there for ten years i don't know what they have to probe it here 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 things clearcut see that it's not worth it 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 there at the start with our special forces and. 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 but at the present the proses i think that we have to make a statement that we aren't able to. say things sitting down that we have a voice in 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 be got to bring peace and i mean that's such a nebulous thing right like what 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 i don't you think it'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 do you think most americans feel that way you know i'm sure a lot of americans there were pro and anti i look at this well i mean for. for a war there for that long i mean it better be for something and we better be yes a bit 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
