welcome to the program violence has flared again in northern cars away after nato troops brutally dispersed the crowd of serbian protesters at a makeshift roadblock witnesses claim the soldiers fired live ammunition at peaceful demonstrators and have now established a forceful presence in the area or dislikes here in the hot spot and sent us this report. on friday the k. four troops removed one of the barricades which. 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 this. particular area and ordered them that they should leave the bait and retreated peacefully with no violence and set up another a manmade checkpoint and they put two large trucks on a bridge blocking the road access to really the northern part of course

of all still more than seven people remain local hospitals and neither of it's in the town of. after being injured in these clashes with the k. four troops we managed to pay them a visit and ask them what exactly happened on tuesday just as. 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 lung only 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 that 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 and now the service may have lost one of their checkpoints but they have lots more around the area we've counted more than ten different checkpoints the. 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. they are telling us to leave but we have no way to leave this is because call civil is our land our home and our life it seems to be on our own now and that 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 course of the serbs 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. reporting there now as tempers rise yet again and cost of all the presence of nato troops the or maybe becoming a steel ally for yet more violence rather than a barrier against it that's according to political analyst in 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 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're actually. destabilizing 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 preach to not. 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 piece at all they're true of war and the stabilization. and we'll be bringing more updates from possible as they happen but if there's anything you missed or you want to see the latest videos from around the world in had to our you tube channel on you tube dot com slash our team. there you'll find the latest pictures of the most wide ranging and it's all on word channel and we've godse all the latest news features interviews and analysis also you can have your say in the comments section and discuss the news with all that's available on youtube dot com slash.

it's. easy. the russian press and president medvedev latest extensive interview where he explained his withdrawal from be upcoming presidential race he said high popularity level makes him the best man for the candidacy are just has the latest reviews. of the president's interview with the 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 was even approaching the for the top job and to the sudden dismissal of now former finance minister aleksey who didn't so there's a loss of analysis and opinions in saturday's press in russia opinions both positive and not so positive was started with the crimean sun newspaper really was well known here in russia and it's published on the order go to try to show you this. though the title of what were you after your ambition and the analysts that the newspaper was talking to have been saying that even though the need to move has finally announced his political. stand down with prime minister what do you fortune there's still a loss of uncertainty since the official political programs for the upcoming parliamentary and presidential elections still have not been and nels told or this

point of view is not shared by the analysts that is this do newspaper a spoke to some other well known big newspaper in russia. to go under the title of how significant is the timing and its analysts have been saying that the media has finally managed to close a deal list of the biggest liers during the upcoming presidential election. next to more no or lots of focus is definitely on the sudden dismissal of no former finance minister who is always thought to be the key ally of the government and the president's administration the newspaper says that step to dismiss him crease even more questions into what else could happen in the world knew that he is still in office however there are analysts who say that the dismissal just shows that the president is serious. just too much of the parliamentary election will be held in

russia in the summer and the presidential pull be held next more cheney didn't happen still. it's still going to be up to the people to decide who gets to run the country next despite a recommendation that he gave me this if. he were to snuff reporting here well let's get a wider perspective on the current climate in russia russian politics from the. who joins us live now. thank you for being here with us in the program well obviously the decision to support candidacy came as a surprise to many. here in russia and abroad but are you saying that in his most recent interview with. managed to cross the t's and dot regarding his move. well i don't think there was a great. country

including. no i think. presenting. a united russia. being. politically. majid if explained. is more popular then we did it himself and the question is about winning presidential elections there are a lot i don't automatically it will be a fight. more equipped to lead the united russia in that fight in the next presidential struggle in the same time with video is keeping his position as an important political figure as potential prime minister and potential leader of the united russia. politician with great perspective in the future

so leave most important political figures in the russian political elite keeping their positions now which i think is pretty important in the new situation which is not going to be easy especially taking to count the economic crisis but the question that arises now that if for instance like important were against the presidential scene are we likely to see any major of policy changes there. well polished see is something which is not changing over a note it is something which is pretty termed by the present political and economic situation by the previous decisions of the president and the government i mean the . statements on the government policies i mean the budgets and the three year budget which has just been introduced into the duma the budget is the major

indicator of governance priorities here and of course russia is an important international player whole so it has international obligations which are not be easy to change so i would predict much of the continuity in the ball this is all the russian government rather than change in european health issue. is the tandem. well. it is very hard to measure what is more efficient or whether one mineral will be more efficient or for example the quartet of leaders could be more efficient but as of now i think there are certain measurements over efficiency that is the economic growth the level of income in the russian federation the. level of social expenditures other objective criteria of

economic and social development they're on the rise of course a period of the presidency of mr medvedev and that's the tandem were quite difficult both internationally and from the point of view of economic policies because we lived through the economic crisis which may not be over yet. well you know just recently what happened in the political life of russia i mean finance russia's finance ministers departure caused a quiet a star and it was a big surprise so are we in for more surprises from the president in your piece. well of course there will be many surprises in politics. and of course the dismissal of mr quadrant was really a surprise to many. called by his political statements about disagreements with president with. the future prime minister. potential prime minister

material in fact the dismissal of quarter and also has another connotation. at the congress of united russia both fortune and material for speaking about speeding up economic growth which is i think very important russia is a brick country which is developing slower. then the other brics countries. we need to speed up growth which is especially important no it is difficult economic conditions. the ministry of finance was not above growth he has no notion of growth in economic philosophy he was a man of cutting deficit cutting spending spending which is a fair economic policy blog for promoting economic growth all right i think the change in the command of the financial industry has to do with it all right thank

you very much for sharing your views with us here in the program that was political . and you can watch the full interview with president medvedev on our website along with all the other stories and videos and here's what we've got for you there. the label made in china is now flying high above the stars as the country has made its first step and exploring outer space and now many expect china will quickly catch up with russia and the u.s. in the universe. and from an exotic space down to mysterious earth the mass killings of livestock and identify creature have struck fear into russian farmers some say that it's a vampire sucking out the animal's blood all the creepy details on our t.v. dot com.

human rights watch is called in libya's new government to stop its fighters from abusing and torturing gadhafi supporters a new york based group as visited twenty detention facilities in the capital tripoli and said some of the prisoners there were severely beaten and given electric shocks meanwhile thousands of civilians fleeing the coastal city of syrian revolution fires intensified their offensive on their remaining could off the loyalists shelling and tank fire was heard on the eastern and western fronts and the planes were seen flying overhead at aid agencies are arraigned the alarm bell saying that the town is plunging into humanitarian chaos with supplies of water power and food drastically low or red cross official in tripoli says the internally displaced people or i.d.p.'s are in a desperate situation. the situation inserts we have heard. about. and. of and

a lot of difficulties with the with the what 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 or are fleeing from the city of sirte passing through bridge and many of these i do p.'s have choosing to remain around as closely as possible to a 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 this situation is dire we are very concerned especially

about their health situation right now civilians are being driven out of their homes by fierce fighting at lack of vital supplies in a situation only made worse by nato that's the view of rob lyons deputy editor of the independent online magazine spiked this is the inevitable consequence of the think things that they got rolling back in february that kind of half hearted intervention was always going to end up with a kind of last stand by gadhafi forces if that is this is the kind of last stand that we expected in tripoli a few weeks ago that never happens and clearly there's a last stand there and the thing about the into the role of the international community no could be making things worse not simply by bombarding the city but by actually having made such a fuss about civilians not being injured or even though they clearly have been but by sight even given the khadafi forces a real incentive to keep the civilians in the city. probably against their well i'm

sure many of them would like to get out of there no. effect as they become a kind of shield by which the they can stay there for a high on for a bit longer. the u.s. backed military operation in libya still hasn't brought peace to the region despite this being its primary goal this as america's ten year presence in afghanistan still struggles to and the country's turmoil. it's probably another. war where there probably is no we're not. going to win it's just a case of more and more americans and others going. r.t.s. people any or whether they think the decade of finding it wasn't worth their results. the ease leadership remains on phased by the fast are in debt crisis in greece maintaining athens should not cannot or will not default their message however is falling on increasingly deaf ears as leading economists investors and academics say it's inevitable greeks meanwhile are mobilizing for

a new mass rallies as government imposed a steady 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 e.u. demands in return for yeah more adat in the form of bailouts and according to william dart m.e.p. for the u.k. japan's party the obsession with the euro can only and disaster. as far as the greek people concern out here is to the single currency means higher taxes lower government 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 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 all guilty men 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 fire. financial guarantees is that they get cold 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 koreans of euros which are required are actually paid up and called on and with greeks up in arms about their government sponsored predicament the us is also with this ng a growing protest movement of itself in the nation's financial hub after a modest start two weeks ago the demonstration named occupy wall street has rapidly grown with up to two thousand people reported in it tans today they say they are protesting against the tremendous influence 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 artie's max kaiser and state herbert explore just why the worries 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 now this is some of the unintended consequences of the patriot act this is the paranoia of the. breaching all kinds of laws 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

volunteer ng 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 by. 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 . now let's take a look at some of the 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 a lack of dialogue with health workers 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 us on terror is also the 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 fall christmas day bombing in two thousand and nine but american writer and less to give journalist jeremy scahill says it's still unclear if a joakim posing a genuine threat to u.s. security. i think there's been tremendous exaggeration on the role 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 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 out assassinate 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. it's ten years since american troops led an invasion into afghanistan but as our laurie harvey has found out the u.s. citizens still don't believe this war story will have a happy ending. it's been ten years since the us 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 i mean for for a war there for that long i mean i better be for something and we better be good. it's a bit out of it do you think that's going to happen now it seems like most people don't feel like the us war in afghanistan has been worth that unfortunately no one in power seems to be listening. well the reason subsidies here on our t.v. bash or laid out with an update on the headlines.
