well why do you live from moscow this is artsy with me rory sushi in a northern cause of a nato peacekeepers have used a shoot to kill threats to break a roadblock by protesters on the border early attempts to remove it this week failed and left several serbs injured. 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 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 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 two large trucks on a bridge thus blocking the road the access for troops into the northern part of course there was still more than seven 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 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 really 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 and 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 extract it 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. 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 but we have no way to leave this is because cos liberal is our land our home and our life it seems to be on our own now 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. reporting that the actions of the nato peacekeepers may only provoke and not prevent violence that's according to belgrade based a political analyst alexander about 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. destabilizing the situation they're actually bringing conflict.

everything was reasonably peaceful until they gave the green light for albanian 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 is wanted for various charges from organ trafficking to drug trafficking and that they're encouraging him to more violence that they're not a peace factor at all they're a total factor of war and destabilization. now it. is in cause and i for us i will bring us all the updates as soon as they happen meanwhile though you can head to. the free video page to get the freshest pictures of this ongoing border dispute you can watch them there or even download them broadcast quality free check out on free video dot. dot com. mission free

that the eastern part of libya was a hotbed of islamic radicalism some of these people have been connected to. one of the al qaeda leaders who was killed recently it 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 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 or people who have this very mixed background and it's not clear how they feel when you get down to the point once the country's under the control of this of this force which side of this force will will be predominant. meantime libyan revolutionary forces say they have surrounded the city of khadafi strong meanwhile aid agencies are alarmed at the thousands of civilians

fleeing their perceived talent people are being driven from their homes by fierce fighting and a 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. this is the inevitable consequence of the think things that they got rolling back in february you know the kind of half hearted intervention was always going to end up with last stand by khadafi forces in fact is this is the kind of loss that we expected in tripoli a few weeks ago that never happened and clearly there's a last time there and the thing about the role of the international community now could be making things worse not simply by bombarding the city but boy actually having made such a fuss about civilians being injured or even die they clearly healthy but by saying that if given the khadafi forces a real sense of to keep keep those civilians in the city probably a well i'm sure many of them would like to get out of there now. they're

effectively become a kind of shield by which the they can they can stay there for a high on for a bit longer. and there was no end in sight to 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 and we asked people in new york what they think ten years of fighting there. i don't 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 for something we better get out of it and that's going to happen. well more opinions on the worthiness of the afghan war from the big hole coming your way on just a few minutes from now here on our. plus is one of the worst droughts in decades forces a growing number of farmers in india to take their own lives to look at why their families blame with the state and not mother nature.

french president nicolas sarkozy has admitted the financial fairly of greece would be the failure of all of europe uganda called on e.u. partners not to 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 because 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 please its creditors william a dartmouth an m.e.p. for the u.k. independence party says the e.u. obsession with the euro can only end in disaster. as far as the greek people are concerned adherents to the single currency means higher taxes lower government 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 at 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 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 men 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 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 trillions of your is which are required are actually paid up and called on. but it's not only the greeks who are up in arms about the situation they've been dumped into the u.s. is also witnessing angry moods right in the nation's financial hub hundreds of

throwing their weight behind the latest demonstration it's named occupy wall street and they're protesting against the huge influence and bad behavior of corporations and billionaires. to see it was that. that protesters are here for a simple reason they feel duped and defrauded by the system that when wall street fried because of 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 left to suffer this could be the skeleton of a revolution 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 occur last weekend over eighty protesters were arrested several women were surrounded by a police man and beast with pepper spray but these protesters say they're willing

to pay any price to get their voices heard a lot of people are talking about 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 the influence a lot of decisions which doesn't help anyone else but them so that's why everyone else has been true to them as the protests gather first family and support maybe are beginning to wonder if this could become reminiscent of what america saw in wisconsin this return for up to seventy thousand people essentially storming the capitol will take because their prices are up and so we don't know what it was all so you can support that has two hundred fifty five people come out on any of these demonstrators are planning to stay here and grow in numbers until a real peaceful revolution occurred after all if the arab spring was applauded by the powers that be why not listen to a similar cry for change that is the situation our teeth be on. the authorities are

accused of trying to silence the angry voices on wall street max keiser and stacy refusing to stay quiet but later they look at why some are so keen to create the discontent under wraps. b. the f.s.f. the i.m.f. the world bank the fed to be o.e.c.d. all agree though 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 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 .

ok and now a quarter past the hour here in moscow the russian press is chewing over president medvedev said latest and if you were here explained his decision not to enter the upcoming presidential race president admitted that he shares common goals with vladimir putin and the current prime minister's high popularity levels ultimately make him the best man for the kind of seeing. this going off as a reaction from the players. pull the president's interview with the heads of the three biggest t.v. stations in russia did focus on some of the most seemed bored to leaders to political events in the country such as his decision not to run for a second term in office his recommendation or prime minister would you would applaud you for the top job and to the sudden dismissal of former finance minister aleksey who didn't so there's loss of analysis and opinions in the center of these press in russia opinions both positive and not so positive was started with the

crimean sun newspaper review was well known here in russia and it's published in the order go to try to show you this is what was going to go on though the title what were you after and what's your ambition and. the analysts that the newspaper was talking to have been saying that even though the need to do it has finally announced his political. stand down with prime minister why do you there's still a lot 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 you speak to the other well known big newspaper in russia. under the title of how significant is the timing and its analysts have been saying. as finally managed to cool off. the biggest.

during the upcoming presidential election next to more now or loss of focus is definitely on the sudden dismissal you know former finance minister aleksey khuda who is always thought to be the key ally of the government and the president's administration. says that step to dismiss him like receiving more questions into what else could happen while the media is still in office however there are analysts who say that the dismissal just shows that the president is serious in his ambitions just too much of the parliamentary election will be held in russia in the summer and the presidential poll be held next more jamie didn't happen still. need 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 that he gave me my seat.

believe the farmers are being ignored. up on but the government is neglecting agriculture the basic information. is not available to the farmers the government is not providing sufficient loans which is. to look at the doors of money. 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 but we are surviving because we are determined not commit to. we leading a very sad life most 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 financiers are frequently

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 it go 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 the right of the star 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 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 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 they have a good pro and and so i i look at this i mean for for a war there for that long i mean it better be for something and we better be. 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 u.s. war in afghanistan has been worth that unfortunately no one in power seems to be listening. or it's a mid afternoon on saturday here in moscow you are dots here to stay with us on the back in just a moment with a recap of our menu stores. to
