isn't possible after 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. in the hot spot and sent us this report on friday the case for troops removed one of the barricades which. also 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 out with a 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 and they put two large trucks on a bridge thus blocking the road access for troops into the northern part of course there was still more than ten people remain in local hospitals in me that i would

say 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. 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 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 the room. 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 extracted 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 serb people is very strong to show that they do not want to be part of the course of a republic. although they are telling us to leave but we have no way to leave this is because cost civil is our land our home and our life it seems to be on their own now and we will stand our ground. there has been very harsh international response on the actions of this week here in kosovo with the united states accusing the cost of a service of provoking violence and the russian foreign ministry expressing deepest 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 his asking reporting their tempers rise yet again in cost of all 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 alexander provigil political analyst in belgrade they've totally and openly stepped out of the u.n. mandate and there are really really now just like during one nine hundred ninety nine during the bombing when there were the air force for the albanian separatists are now acting as 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 there are actually. these stabilizing the situation there 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 to prishtina. headed by a caution toci who is wanted for various charges from organ trafficking to drug trafficking that they're encouraging him to more violence that they're not a peace factor at all they're total factor of war and the stabilization and we'll be bringing in more updates from kossovo as we get the body if 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 the dresses youtube dot com slash r t from the latest pictures to the most wide ranging opinion it's all available there and we've got all the latest news features interviews and analysis as well so you can also have your say there in the common section and discuss the news with others that's all at youtube dot com slash our.

a second term in office his recommendation off prime minister vladimir putin for the top job and to the sudden dismissal of the now former finance minister aleksey kudrin so there's lots of 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 you were well known here in russia and it's published an article trying to show you this published an article the title of what were you after and what's your ambition and the analysts that the newspaper was talking to have been saying that even though they need to do a deal has finally announced his political plans and the plans of his stand them with the prime minister was doing which and 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 did newspaper spoke to

use another well known big newspaper in russia and it's probably still not to go under the title of hell significant is the timing and its analysts have been saying that the media has finally managed to close the deal a list of the biggest players during that upcoming presidential election next more trouble now or loss of focus is definitely on the sudden this missile rolls now former finance minister alex equilibrium who is always thought to be the key ally both of the government and off the president's administration the commerce 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 he. however there are analysts who say that the dismissal just shows that the president is serious in his a mission before coming to power may have gave an interview to for enjoying this

year in law school i was also present and i remember that the native south on the part of the state machine know i think we do we're serious i think you were sincere she's a bugger with a machine she acknowledges it she wants the machine to function perfectly this is one of the reasons why she was so angry with called it just too much of the parliamentary election will be held in russia in. the presidential poll be held next more jane even did happen still a warning did need to be there it's still going to be up to the people to decide who gets to run the country next despite the recommendation that you made to your pissed off reporting there and you can watch the full interview with president medvedev in 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 drop to earth as part of the train check out all the pictures on our website gallery section. and not so great britain u.k.

singled out as europe's worst place to live and a new quality of life home i now live brits have it so bad dot com. 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 the man time broke it up and 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 towers twanging into many

tarion chaos with supplies of water power and food rescue low red cross official in tripoli says internally displaced people or i.d.p.'s are in a desperate situation. about the situation in search we have heard accounts of i.d.p.'s about. water and electricity being cut 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 busting through the tower bridge and many of these i do p.'s have choosing to remain around

as closely as possible to 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 for procrit afy supporters the outlook seems grim robert perry from online investigative magazine consortium news says they're also bad the crowd will 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 city the civilians who happen to be on the side of gadhafi are not going to be protected

they're going to be punished 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 be 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 qaeda one of the leaders who was killed recently a tier 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 to al qaida 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 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's under the control of this of this force which side of this force will

will be predominant. the last bad military operation in libya still hasn't brought peace to the region despite as being its primary goal this has america's tanny or presence in afghanistan still struggles to and the country's turmoil. probably another viet nam type. war where it probably is not a winner. the other side's going to win it's just a case of more and more americans and others dying r.t. as people and your weather as i think a decade of fighting was worth it's. a man better harvest thousands of indians. farmers commit suicide is one of the drive seasons in decades devastates the country. leadership remains fazed by the festering death crisis in greece maintaining that greece should not cannot and will not default their message however is falling on increasingly deaf ears as leading

economists investors an academic say it's inevitable. mobilizing for a new mass rallies as government poses begins to break the back of the country's economy salaries pensions and jobs there are three falling out that says of cuts for all the effort to satisfy e.u. demands in return for yet more debt in the form of bailouts according to william darkness an m.e.p. for the u.k. independence party the e.u. is obsession with the euro can only end in disaster. for the greek people concern out here is to the single currency means higher taxes low gov expenditure and 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. here's to 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 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 trillions of yours which are required are actually paid up and called on. and with 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 hub after a modest start two weeks ago of the demonstration named occupy wall street as rapidly growing with sixteen hundred people reported in tana's 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 and coming up next hour are state herbert explore just why authorities are so keen to keep these protests quiet. then big brother bernanke he goes watergate prepares to eavesdrop on everything mentioning the fed yes the fed is apparently seeking the creation of a social listening platform so they can see who's talking about them and importantly know when they're making negative comments and perhaps intervene and prevent this negative comments from happening you know this is some of the unintended consequences of the patriot act this is the paranoia of the. breaching all kinds of laws so now bernanke 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 schizophrenic 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 if you read everything i've ever written and you eavesdrop on me all day long and stick a video camera up my strength thing 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 . how devastated by pesticides and droughts. arming doesn't get much tougher than in india one of the dry 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 as our reports the government has turned a blind eye to growing problem. the sun is shining on these farm lands in southern

india commonly known as the country's rice bowl they may look watch but the grass is far from greener out here farmers are killing themselves in the thousands. of those most of the farmers are committing suicide due to the influence of the other farmers who committed suicide romola 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. how should i carry on with my life nothing is good for me and my children and there is no one to help us how do i bear this trouble someone needs to help us. while the government has a tentative deal with the high number of farmer suicides by compensating 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 packages to farmers and promised to increase the minimum rate on certain exports but many believe the farmers are being ignored . by the government is neglecting agriculture basic information like wind power will be there when is not available for the farmers the government is not providing sufficient 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 dick wells but for many it's in vain. we are losing by making these wells but we are surviving because we are determined not to come. suicide weave bombs are

leading a very sad life just sinking water levels mean these walls are useless but have left a deep hole in farmers' pockets the state banks 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 we have the money lenders and finance years are frequently visiting our home and torturing us we want to be a huge sume widows like rama luxe me are now the bride winners tending to two 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. now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world thousands of medical workers took to the streets of the chilean capital demanding an improvement in labor conditions health unions organized the seventy two hour strike against privatizing

the sector accusing the government of the last dialogue with health workers chile has also been witnessing large scale student protests demanding the government continues to provide free public education. for the white house says the drone strike that targeted u.s. born terrorist. hit a top bomb maker delivering a major 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 locky posed a genuine threat to u.s. security. but i think there's been tremendous exaggeration of the role in importance of he was at best mid-level management of a q a p the greatest threat that he posed to united states were his videos encouraging young english speaking muslims to join the 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 go to sesame them there would have been a way to deal with anwar a lockie 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 mark 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. 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 wars as no benefit so what are they still doing there for ten years i don't know what the heck

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 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 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 states 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 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 but you're pro and anti i'll look at this what i mean for for a war there for that long i mean it better be for something and we better be good. it's a bit out of it you think that's going to happen. 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.
