judgment on russia's political future in the wake of the move from the veterans interview over his decision not to seek a second term. just south or eight pm here in the russian capital this is our t. in northern kossovo nato peacekeepers have used shoot to kill threats to break a roadblock by serb protesters on the border earlier attempts to remove it this week failed and the left several serbs ensured archy's i say the shots he is close to the action with this report. friday the case for troops removed one of the barricades which. because it was set up in order to block the police and the k. for 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 serbs blockading this

particular area and ordered them that they should believe the serbs obeyed and retreated peacefully with no violence and set up another manmade checkpoint and two large trucks on a bridge thus blocking the road the access ok for troops into the northern part of course there was still more than ten people remain in local hospitals in need of it's 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. 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 then i was hit on the shoulder and it turned out to be a perforated my lung the most interesting fact here is that they came for 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 those people who were injured in those clashes were delivered to hospitals carrying gunshot wounds. received seven male and have a condition gunshot wounds fractures and bruises they were not from rubber bullets not a single of them had a rubber hold 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 circle is very strong to show that they do not want to be part of the course of the republic. and they are telling us to leave because we have no way to leave this is because constable is our land our home and our life it seems

that we are on our 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 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 dispute but in reality this could destabilize the situation in the whole region. well the actions of the native peacekeepers may only provoke and not prevents more violence that's according to belgrade based political analyst i think. 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 there was the air force for the albanian separatists or now they can use 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. the stabilizing the situation they're actually bringing conflict . there thing was reasonably peaceful until they gave the green light for our 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 to preach to not. headed by harsh in karachi wanted for various charges from organ trafficking to drug trafficking and they're encouraging them to more violence so they're not a peace partner at all they're probably thought of war and the stabilization parties and i'd say arshad ski isn't possible and we'll be bringing you updates as and when they happen in a while you can have the arguments prevail page to get the freshest pictures of this order just because you can watch them there or download them and broadcast

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 attracted to. one of the leaders who was killed recently appear was a libyan he came from this general area and now we know that one of the leaders of the rebel forces there. was also considered very close to a client and was indeed detained by the united states for some time before he was allowed to go free so it appears there are people with guns on the side of the libyan rebels and now the government people have this very mixed background and it's not clear how do you know when you get down to the point of once the country under the control there so there's force which side of this force will will be predominant live in a revolutionary forces say they have surrounded the city of sirte get off the strongholds meanwhile aid agencies are of wire that the thousands of civilians

fleeing the besieged town people are being driven from their homes by fierce fighting and a lot of supplies rob ryan step it editor of the and the pen and all the rags in spite of the situation has only been made worse by nato. this is the inevitable consequence of the think things that i got rolling back in february a year that 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 in this thing about the role of the international community you know could be making things worse not simply by bombarding the city put by actually having made such a force of civilians and not being a teacher or two or even by three to half a foot by saying that if given the khadafi forces a real sense of to keep civilians in the city. probably against well sure sure many of them would like to get out of there know. their fates if you become a kind of

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 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 he said if you make a financial guarantee the nature of five financial guarantees is that they get cooled 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 call them. and it's not only greeks up in arms about the situation they've been dumped into and the us is also witnessing and the moves of the nations for the national heart hundreds have thrown their weight behind the latest demonstration named

ten years i don't know have the head they do and i don't know it's probably another vietnam. war it probably is not a winner. the other side is 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 that 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 very controversial question there is present time since situation what are the pros the pros is i think that we have to make a statement that we aren't able to. seek things sitting down that we have a voice in 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. we're in there with

them but what we have to do. well eventually we got to bring peace and i mean that's such a nebulous thing right like what we really bringing peace to afghanistan well only time will tell you know i don't really know enough about it to say what it was worth or do even 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 and you know i'm sure a lot of americans the 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. it's a bit out of it if 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.
