a deadly situation develops in northern cause of as nato implements shoot to kill orders to demolish roadblocks by locals near a disputed checkpoint. people living in tripoli take to the streets and good to former rebels carrying guns in the city of people in one of the few remaining could be strongholds of suffer from a deepening a humanitarian crisis. also operation occupy wall street grows in the us against inequality and corporate influence while people's fury towards the police increases its following a series of arrests and cases of brutal behavior. and the media makes its judgment

on russia's political future in the wake of jimmy truman did if interview adverse decision not to seek a second time. well why do you live from moscow this is not see with me will receive. in a northern cause of nato peacekeepers have used shoot to kill threats to break a roadblock by protesters on the border attempts to remove it this week failed and left several so injured. he is close to the action with this report. on friday the k. four troops removed one of the barricades which. the course was set up in order to block the police and the hateful troops from gaining access to the area and we understand that more than one hundred thirty four troops came over there

pointed their guns at the serbs 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 a little too large trucks on a bridge that's blocking the road to the access ok for troops into the northern part of course about 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 a 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 shoot you read so i got scared and started running away and i was hit on the shoulder and it turned out to be free to my lovely the most interesting fact here is that they came for 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 and local hospitals told us that they those people who were injured in those clashes were delivered to hospitals carrying gunshot wounds to the room forty seven men and 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 a regular bullet which we extract 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 the. it's only nation 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 possible is our land our home and our life it seems to be on our own now

and 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 deep concerns over the situation here saying that this may seem as a small as a minor border crossing this but in reality this could destabilize the situation in the whole region. what are the actions of the nato peacekeepers may only provoke i'm not prevent violence that's according to belgrade political analyst alexander which. they've totally and openly stepped out of the un 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 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. these stabilizing the situation they're actually bringing conflict. everything was reasonably peaceful until they gave the green light for our. special police forces to forcibly take the administrative border back in 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 toci who's wanted for various charges from organ trafficking to drug trafficking and that they're encouraging him to more violence and they're not a peace factor at all they're a total factor of war and peace that was a should. he is in cause of a forest so i will bring us all the updates as soon as they happen meanwhile though you can head to our. video page to get the freshest pictures of this ongoing mortar

of internet investigative magazine consortium news you think the people are now realizing the cost of blindly supporting the revolutionary forces. well there was evidence even going back to the group beginning that the eastern part of libya was a hotbed of islamic radicalism some of these people have been connected to. one of the leaders who was killed recently 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 qaeda and was indeed chained by the united states for some time before he was allowed to go free so it appears that 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 the south when you get down to the point of once a country under the control of this of this force which side of this force will

will be the dominant. meantime libyan revolutionary forces say they have surrounded the city of a few strong meanwhile aid agencies are alarmed at the thousands of civilians fleeing the perceived town people are being driven from their homes by fierce fighting and lack of supplies robert lyons a deputy editor of the independent online magazine spiked says the situation there has only been made worse by nato. and this is the inevitable consequence of the think things that they got rolling back in february and you know the kind of half hearted intervention was always going to end with the 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 happened and clearly there's a lot of this thing about the role of the international community you know could be making things worse not simply by bombarding the city but ploy actually having made such a fuss about it civilians are not being injured or hurt even though they clearly

have been put by saying that if given the could duffey forces a real incentive to keep keep their civilians in the city probably well i'm sure many of them would like to get out of there know. their fates if we become a kind of shield by which the they can they can stay there for a high on for a bit longer. i know with no end in sight of the libyan conflict still ongoing and many are warning that it could follow the path of the afghan war that's been raging for a decade now later in the program here on our we ask people in new york what they think ten years of the fighting there which. will see a goal and really see anything changing even if we stay there another hundred years or a war there for that long it better be presumably we better be out of it and that's going to happen no. more opinions on the worthiness of the afghan war from the big apple coming your way on just a few minutes from now here on r.t. . plus as one of the worst droughts in decades forces

a growing number of farmers in india to take their own lives look at why their families blame with the state and not mother nature. french president nicolas sarkozy has admitted the financial failure of greece would be the failure of all of europe and again called on e.u. partners will not leave athens without help this following a meeting with the country's prime minister in paris so of course these are words however are not being matched with action as the eurozone is still delaying its decision on whether to release more of the bailout money the international inspectors are trying to wade through the tide of public anger to assess whether athens deserves another shot of money the greek government has pushed through pension cuts and extra taxes to try and police its creditors now william mcarthur an m.e.p. from the u.k. independence party says the e.u. is obsession with the euro and only end in disaster. as far as the greek people are concerned adherents to the single currency means higher taxes low gov expenditure

and cuts in their standard of living and also for and also even even for a country like germany in fact specifically a country like germany and 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 at what they have to say in the future these are 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 is that 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 ears which are required are actually paid up and

called on. but it's not only the greeks who up in arms about the situation they've been bumped into the u.s. is also witnessing angry mood right in the nation's financial hundreds of throwing their weight behind the latest demonstration is named occupy wall street protesting against the huge influence and bad behavior of corporations and billionaires and i was there. good to sers are here for a simple reason they feel duped and defrauded by the system that led last st mary's keep our financial meltdown that led to an economic collapse one in six americans are currently living in poverty bankers were held unaccountable and it was the people were left to suffer this could be the skeleton version of the beginning of one possibly as high profile activists and scholars started joining these crowds it became harder for the media to ignore these demonstrations it also became hard for most americans to not take these crowd seriously as police brutality started to her

last weekend over eighty protesters were arrested several women were surrounded by police snap and nice with pepper spray but these protesters say they're willing to pay any price to get their voices heard a lot of you lord on the one percent you know and you know a fraction of the one percent that have all the money and really all of our if you think about it because would they say goes they influenced a lot of decisions which doesn't help anyone else but them so that's why everyone else is going through them and the protests gather first family and support maybe are beginning to wonder if this could become reminiscent of what america saw in wisconsin this trip up to seventy thousand people essentially storm the capitol building because there was one if it was the union support that has two hundred fifty five people on any of these demonstrators are planning to see fear and grow

in numbers until a real peaceful revolution occur after all if the arab spring was applauded by the powers that be why not listen to a similar cry for change. is the future guaranteed be on. the authorities are accused of trying to silence the angry voices on wall street. and states who have but are refusing to stay quiet but later they look at why some are so keen to create the discontent perhaps. it would be the f.s.f. the i.m.f. the world bank the fed to be o.e. all agree there we can't talk the truth here in the financial world ben big brother bernanke he goes watergate prepares to eavesdrop on everything mentioning the fed 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 spring training you'll find out that everything i'm saying can

soldiers losses wells's and opinions in salaries press in russia i think positive and positive was started with the newspaper really were well known here in russia and it's published an article trying to show you this. under the title of what were you after your ambition and the analysts that the newspaper was talking to you have been saying that even though the the media has finally announced his political. stand them with prime minister vladimir putin there's still a lot of uncertainty since the official political programs for the upcoming parliamentary and presidential elections still have not been anywhere else told this point of view is not shared by the analysts the easiest your newspaper or school to this is not a well known big newspaper in russia. to go under the title of how significant is

the timing and it's been same. as finally managed to cool or was a deal list of the biggest liers during the upcoming presidential election next more now. loss of focus is definitely on the sudden dismissal no former finance minister alex equilibrium who was always thought to be the key ally both of the governments and the president's administration became a sun newspaper says that stack to dismiss him as receiving more questions if you want else would happen world needed if he's still in office however there are analysts who say that the dismissal just shows that the president is serious in his ambitions just remind you the problem and she'll action will be held in russia in the g summer and the presidential vote will be held next more cheney thing can happen still and according to me to be there it's still going to be up to the

people to decide who gets to run the country next despite daily recommendation about me i see but i think. that what i mean time our political analyst nicole have told us here and i see the logic and ambition or maybe it is a decision was clear the very day it was announced. no i think this situation is pretty logical. and mediator for both representing the same political force united russia not being completely similar not being twins in politics they're still pretty close illogically and politically at this point is needed if explained. is more popular then material himself and the question is about winning the next presidential election will not come automatically it will be a fight which is more equipped to lead you know there's russia in there floyd in

the next presidential struggle at the same time it really is keeping his position as an important political figure as a potential prime minister and potential leader of the united russia which makes him a politician with great perspective. future. you can watch the full version of the interview on r.t. dot com of course our web site. twenty minutes past the hour now here in moscow are devastated by drought and crops killed by chemicals farmers in india face a battle for survival i want to the driest seasons in decades has left thousands of farmers all across the country with little crops and big debts even prompting some to take their own lives and shrewder reports the government's ignoring this growing problem. the sun is shining on these farmlands in southern india commonly known as the country's rice bowl they may look lodge but the grass is far from greener out here farmers are killing themselves in the thousands was

a move to the farmers are committing suicide 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 fair for the grieving families left behind the future is ground but 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 is to help us. all 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

a bird 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 promised to increase the minimum rate on certain exports but many believe the farmers are being ignored. the government culture basic information. is not available for the farmers the government is not providing sufficient loans which is who can look in the doors of money lenders. those who've tried to beat the drought themselves took out huge loans to dig wells but for many it's in vain. we are losing by making these wells when we are surviving because we are determined not to come. who is right we are leading a very selfish like most sinking water levels mean these wells are useless but have left a deep hole in farmer's pocket. 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 if the money lenders and financiers are frequently a visiting nurse told them torturing us we want to be a huge sume we don't like rama lakshmi are now the bread winners tending to chew acres of 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 archie tell him gonna india twenty four hours a day seven days a week our website is there for your all the time plenty of our top stories are so many others waiting for you there right now. hell i was famous a tightrope walk a fails to cross the moscow river of his nose on his rope forgetting to walk check out the full footage of his death defying at times online and on t.v.

or. also waiting for you to get a portrait of the russian prime minister of what important created from thousands of tiny photos of them and said i'm going to r.t. dot com for more photos from the international moscow. if i could have you with us or you with artsy life from moscow to check out the international headlines now for this hour the world update for you somali pirates have reportedly kidnapped a wheel chair bound french woman near the kenyan resort of lamu the navy and police chased the boat carrying the victim but feared an attack could end with a seventy five year old woman drowning the kidnapping comes less than a month after somali pirates have got today

a british woman and killed her husband in the same area. my the aircraft has crashed into a ferris wheel that a festival in eastern australia leaving two children trapped on the ride but i was amazingly no one was seriously injured because of it just before the crash happened rain of course the majority of people off the ride the pilot said he never saw the wheel before smashing right. it's almost ten years now since american troops led the invasion into afghanistan a decade of fighting is that of thousands of u.s. soldiers and afghan civilians all being killed these are. the people on the streets of new york if indeed they believe that this war story will ever have a happy ending. it's been ten years since the us bound to afghanistan as a prelude to an ongoing war a decade later has it been worth that this week let's talk about that four wars as

no benefit to what is going to ing there for ten years i don't know what they have said and what 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 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 for the past nine years i don't think we've accomplished much at all 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 had. we were in there with them but what do we have to do. well eventually to go 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 were pro and and so i i look at this what i mean for. for a war there for that long i mean i it but it better be for something and we better to get something out of it and that's going to happen now it seems like most people don't feel like the u.s. war in afghanistan has been worth that unfortunately no one in power seems to be listening.
