live from moscow with me rory sushant violence has flared up again in northern cause of a after nato troops brutally dispersed a crowd of serbian protesters at a makeshift roadblock but it is a claim with the soldiers of live ammunition a peaceful demonstrators have now established a forceful presence in the area. i was in that hot spot and sent us this report on friday of 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 out with their pointed their guns at this bloke aiding 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 two large trucks on a bridge thus blocking the road the access for troops into the northern part of
7:02 am
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 in tuesday's clashes with the k. four troops we managed to pay them a visit and ask them what exactly happened on tuesday. this is. 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 perforating wound of my lung. 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 his room. seven

7:14 am
know that kind of half hearted intervention was always going to end up with a kind of last stand by gadhafi forces in fact 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 lot of the thing about the 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 hurt even though they clearly have been but by saying that it's given the khadafi forces a real incentive to keep keep the civilians in the city probably a good. many of them would like to get out of there now. affectively become a kind of shield by which the they can they can stay there 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 as america's ten year presence in afghanistan still

7:17 am
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 your is which are required are actually paid up and called on. and with the greeks up in arms about government sponsored predicament the u.s. is also witnessing a growing protest movement over its own right in the nation's financial hub after a modest start some two weeks ago the demonstration named occupy wall street has rapidly grown up to two thousand people reported in attendance today they say they're protesting against tremendous influence and the 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 in

7:20 am
thousands. 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 barren for the grieving families left behind the future is graeme. 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 the trouble someone has to help us. while the government has attempted to 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
7:21 am
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. the government is neglecting agriculture basic information like wind power will be there are not available for the farmers the government is not providing sufficient loans which is forcing foam has 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. it's suicide we farms 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 the state beings turned their backs on those who
7:22 am
couldn't repay their debts the loan sharks are now demanding high interest rates and won't take no for an answer you have to the money lenders and financiers are frequently visiting our home and torturing us we want to be huge sume widows like rama luxe me are now the breadwinner is 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 there are t. tell i'm gonna india are twenty two minutes past the hour here in the russian capital time for the world update now here on our to some headlines from around the world for you this hour. medical took to the streets of the 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 chilling is also being witnessing large
7:23 am
scale student protests going on in the government continues to provide free public education. the white house says that a drone strike that targeted a u.s. born terrorist are lucky has hit 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 on america including a christmas day bombing of two thousand and nine but american writer and investigative journalist jeremy scahill says it's still unclear if all are lucky posed a genuine threat to u.s. security. but i think there's been tremendous exaggeration on the role and importance of anwar a lucky guy he was at best mid-level management of a q a p the greatest threat that he posed the united states were his on line videos encouraging young english speaking muslims to join a jihad against the united states and you know that's that was despicable some
7:24 am
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 a 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 has been ten years since american troops led an invasion into afghanistan but it's auntie's laurie how often it's found out u.s. citizens still don't believe this war story is set for 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 hell
7:25 am
. 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 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. see things sitting down that we have a voice and whether it's there's more peaceful ways to present that probably how does that 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
7:26 am
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 what there was worth there and 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 were your 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 good. 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 .
7:28 am
the. communicate with the wild and. test yourself and become free. see what nature can give you on on the. road brought out your ass. we hear it because i have patchy outs that suck the god time is them that's the end belongs to i. will if they are still going to be thinking. and god's chosen people will lead them up believe that god is real estate agents they look at this that is this for you guys and this guy is as for you. and the don't want to be a this is ordinary different might not be then.
