welcome it's eleven pm here in moscow my name is kevin i went with the top stories for you tonight at r.t. but a decade ago on october the seventh two thousand and one the war in afghanistan began as a counter strike for the nine eleven atrocities masterminded from the country by some of in large retired army general stanley mcchrystal said the u.s. began the occupation with a frighteningly simplistic view and still had no idea how to end the conflict successfully any time in the war zone or american bases are still expanding with an ongoing program of infrastructure building. visited by a growing base for r.t. . if the united states isn't drawing its troops from afghanistan why is its largest base getting bigger with u.s. led forces overread to tell about a late two thousand and one bugaboo airfield is little more than a fleet tower in a cracked roadway since then the former soviet base in the plains north of the afghan capital has grown into a small city that still get over twenty five thousand full time personnel fleets of

military hardware craft and enough vehicles to cause traffic jams it expansion is now with the way aided by scores of contractors u.s. military engineers are constructing new housing and storage facilities to make room for even more of it in war where after sending an extra thirty thousand troops to afghanistan last year president obama started bringing them home this summer but with afghan forces struggling to stand alone it's likely that less will even planned and bases like this one start going to shrink in time soon. at least there are plenty of home comforts for soldiers staying on for tough in a long deployments they can shop for everything from flat screen t.v.'s to fine jewelry enjoy a cappuccino and grab some take on the new piece and franchise and if they're tired of working out of the gym they're free to go to the salon for a haircut insomuch although some officials have tried to limit such amenities calling him a distraction from the war the troops are happy to have them and these are extremely. reality feed the. top ten advocates

at the right. local afghan merchants are also glad to have the extra business both inside and outside the wire without the agreement of soldiers my business would be nothing like having them here but not everyone agrees deadly taliban rocket attacks are on the rise and as the base becomes more and more crowded and the threat to those living inside multiplies no matter how high it smells become every rock it's a close call when you're risking just to get just what you put in personnel and solid into one tight spot get close it's going to destroy something or someone easy is it maybe to forget at times this is still a war zone jason not logged in bagram for a team. general john allen one of the trees told cross said u.s. troops will still be in the country in advisory roles even after the twenty fourth . that had been announced by nato in the white house ruthless and surge the types of increasing in recent months with several high profile assassinations and

shootouts in the heart of the capital kabul as we've been reporting to you so many casualties in the country are also on the rise brodbeck is director of the amsa coalition he told us about what the real meaning of the stay in the country is. i think advisor is just a euphemism for what amounts to an american military occupation if the us military were to leave afghanistan altogether or if it were to leave iraq altogether those governments would become independent self-determination governments free of foreign interference or foreign occupation that's what would happen they would have one of their own natural alliances with their neighbors the united states does not want this is the great prize this is a geo strategically and resource rich part of the world united states is there for the long term and i think that's the real goal is to firmly afghanistan and the surrounding countries into an american's fear of influence i think the karzai government really is an extension of american power which has

a masquerade the fiction of a nato cover but really it's an american power cards and i of course probably cannot survive without outside support after all the outsiders the occupiers put him into power i don't think he has any real legitimacy or credibility for his people. who are out of his prime baucus because the bit earlier on their own r.t. . which american. targets. still. should feel the full us. vision to bring peace and stability to the. user as it only have to change. libyan fighters have launched a final attack on khaled after his hometown of sirte reports say the interim government's troops have now largely taken the city but they're still meeting

pockets of heavy resistance hundreds of vehicles are pouring into the outskirts is the city's pounded with heavy shelling both thousands of civilians have left certainly more thought to have remained this all comes after you can get their feel and all the a message urged libyans to resist the interim leaders the civil war which has claimed thousands of lives so far was joined by nato under a u.n. mandate to protect civilians as well the sukkah chandan is an activist and journalist who told me he doesn't believe the western powers will leave the country any time soon. well it would have done but it seems that we don't have that clip ready for yet about a slight technical problem let's move on shall we. present a very busy again stated that russia will not support any u.n. resolution to impose sanctions on syria it is not up to the un or nato to decide the political course a country should follow our physical person off reports. the president explained

that russia strongly criticizes the ongoing violence in syria it supports the idea that the country is in desperate need of democratic reform but also thinks that if the current of gordie's will not be able to create this change then we will have to go but meeting with stress that this will have to be the choice of the syrian people and not a result of some foreign military intervention similar to healthy in bands are unfolding probably in libya and the draft resolution on syria backed by the west did not exclude the chances of foreign military intervention russia had to block it after it is a lot of the resolutions authors didn't take our concerns into account worst digital lines the signal to close in to stage there would be no external military interference in the conflict this means only one thing our partners in the un security council do not rule out a replay of the libyan scenario although they said more than once they clearly

understood syria is very different to libya she will continue resisting a chance to legitimize unilateral sanctions through the u.n. security council the danger overthrow political regimes the u.s. was not created for that meanwhile the violence in syria continues according to the leaders figures coming out of the year when nearly three thousand people have lost their lives throughout the entire conflict the one says that it will continue applying pressure on syrian authorities while russia hopes that the country will be able to conduct peaceful democratic reforms on its own. this is r.t. moscow still ahead fear the u.k. may be facing its worst economic crisis in history bank of england's warning comes as the country feels the price of recession with banks downgraded and the government implementing desperate measures to try to boost growth. and russian prosecutors prepared to bring new charges for the murder of journalist anna politkovskaya who was shot dead here in moscow exactly five years ago.

from the. wall street protests have reached the american capital now the chanting the movement's message crowds march through downtown washington d.c. the demonstration started as a simple sit in front of the new york stock exchange to quickly gain support all over the country more rallies followed in chicago boston san francisco los angeles and i'd never say they're fed up with breaking about the work while bonuses flow into the pockets of already wealthy wall street bankers on wednesday police used pepper spray a baton to disperse tens of thousands of people walking from lower manhattan to wall street early we spoke to occupy wall street activist who gives his experience of big brother police he also told us that the lack of definite demands of the movement is in fact its strength. i think actually it's an interesting contrast. i think. it's it's intense.

sure godfrey bloom's spoke to a c says the chance of the exchequer is policy of printing more cash will end in disaster. he's inventing money electronically out of absolutely nowhere it's called quantity of easing but actually it's counterfeiting money it's tombs of failure it always fails it's failed in the past it's never been successful if it was successful why doesn't he give money printing machines to every family in the united kingdom that they could put in their attic and print money whatever they want to go and buy something props out the banks for a little bit longer but it doesn't do much else ordinary people don't get it and what it actually has the terrible effect of it degrades the currency currency pound notes really is a medium of exchange you know flooding the market with isn't going to actually help the economy of trouble and of course it depresses our naturally interest rates which means old people pensions people on fixed income all suffer from this

quantitative easing and of course further down the road it must end in inflation the equivalent of what the child is actually doing a magical man washed up on a sure on a deserted island an eating their own leg because there's nothing else to it nothing else to eat all that's happening is that they're creating money to buy their own debts it's actually in any other will cover life it would be illegal and you'd go to prison for it. pretty sure and pay god for gloomy with his assessment of the state of britain's finances. russian prosecutors are said hannah fresh charges to key suspects in the murder of prominent journalist anna politkovskaya five years ago she was gunned down in her apartment block of moscow but while the case is told worldwide attention knows you have been convicted for the matter i think country could show the met police skies family still want to see justice done . for police who worked on this day five years ago it was a murder of a woman huff way through their shift around four pm for

a very political it was hard way through her pregnancy when she got a call her mother had been shelled outside her apartment it was a watershed moment and there is life before and after the storm when you might see in you i was well aware what kind of journalism my mother was into she would the occasionally say if something happens to me documents are here the money is here here are all the numbers to call but we never really took it seriously i was four months pregnant the family was full of hope and my mother promised that after her first grandchild was born she would stop going to chechnya and take up quite a journalistic work. but quiet journalistic work is not something you would associate are not political skill when it should be instigated corrupt security officials and exposed to human rights violations she help people when there are cases in the highest courts in russia and in strasbourg but the irony is that five

years later your own murder still remains unpunished would you have there been different periods in the process busy when certain people were arrested almost simultaneously in two thousand and seven and passive when nothing was happening however they've been so recent months give us third optimism for a successful ending successful in terms of finding the mastermind of the murder i can tell you even then the suggestion was as active five years ago as it is now by this time we would have had more evidence on your q border or the twenty eleven has indeed been a turning point in may prosecutors named a man who is believed to have pulled the trigger. mood of was arrested in chechnya after years on the run in belgium and shortly afterwards investigators announced they were close just solving one of the most high profile slayings in recent memory . a former high ranking police official to me. it was

a middleman for money agreed to organize a criminal more consisting of four people to carry out the assassination he kept up some. provided the perpetrator with a gun and would organize other members of the group but also of other information about the alleged mastermind of the killing but it's too premature to release that information. not all of them agreed you know norberg as yet aware are not fully worked up until one has been carrying out its own investigation into the john list murder a newspaper his deputy editor says it's good that interest in the case is so high both in russia and have brought but it's bad when it turns into a pressure on prosecutors but it's more. we still believe for people my brothers and their friend who were injured and were acquitted in two thousand and nine with no or in some way linked to this murder but you cannot. for the record it was a lack of solid evidence presented in court and always happened because there was

public pressure on the prosecution to rush to judgment we think there are races were too premature. with the russians supreme court and knowledge of two thousand and nine and a reopening of the investigation it's a significant part of the johnnie but it's certainly not beyond one of the biggest challenges for investigators at these points is to find other suspects who are now on the run outside the country but just like on the police courts her self her family and colleagues will never give up as they strive to find the truth it takes very little to describe someone's death in case of on the political just the thousand words on a piece of stone but these journalists lies and her legacy could not a fetus in a forty by forty marble play. if you look at our children our teen. and we've got more on the ongoing investigation into the murder of anna

river. there is an increasingly high tech hub of the hiding and middle of its rich heritage pence's homes we unique and lifesaving heart valve factory that supplies vital products both to russia and abroad but he's eager groggily of when to see it in action his report person played pictures of surgery. both inside and outside of russia the health of all new russians and also the state of the russian medical profession are often seen as something of a mixture between a joke other horror story but there are parts that challenge that stereotype here just outside of pens are producing artificial heart valves in a company that started out just over fifteen years ago and its products have been so successful exported over twenty parts countries. life saving surgery the doctors and so many in an artificial valve that will allow this man's heart to function again because struction of the deceptively simple mechanism will determine how he lives the rest of his life and if he survives it all twenty years ago all

these valves had to be imported until this company open pens are originally this was meant to be a huge reducing hold this the soviet made bases but then when the u.s.s.r. of all those low demand for a from a computer. the empty shell of a building into something else for russia's biggest producer of artificial heart valves started by a single russian physicist emitting sprung up without government support none of the small evil inventors and worked with medical equipment manufacturer before now seven in ten of implanted in russia come from here it may look like an over expanded workshop but the quality of its products has allowed this company to supply them for over twenty countries though here they know that success can be fleeting and so is that and. we knew we had our successful invention but technology

moves on we are small compared to our international rivals and so we knew we had to keep making new models just to survive. unusually for russia every new model was developed to get it with pens as local heart center the doctors here admit that at first there was skepticism about a russian made piece of medical equipment which is so what doctors are very conservative very nature and adverse they and their patients were very mistrustful of devolves to me people chose something new in themselves was difficult but i'll tell you this twenty years ago up to one in five used to die during the surgery now difficult is around one percent. the surgery was successful city gay. a retired army officer will be discharged in a week which i look forward to the rest of my life i can feel the cuts but if you meant hard working better as to the valve i researched everywhere in the internet

about it and it's fine i trust evolved that is inside my heart you can. see pens are. all i see an hour of topical debate looking at what's next for the arab world and people of als they station across top but let's play live business news and demeter before that. and will welcome to the program the euro zone's a sovereign debt crisis is causing problems far beyond the borders of the countries directly involved russia which has a balanced budget and healthy reserves has been hit hard in its latest report the international monetary fund says the best way to get rid of this one ability is that they both supply away from energy. we would recommend as we have always recommend that if every effort be made to be less dependent on the oil and gas sectors so policy priority to emphasize all other industries in particular the

manufacturing sector or into competitive force and so forth russia has plenty of access to technology educated labor force all the region snus is very relaunch it's the manufacturing sector like all other advanced economies so that that would be a first for a second we think that russia might want to continue emphasizing the stronger the public finances of the government here has set a target of four point seven percent oil deficit that is a very valid target which would make the russian economy a lot more resilient in our view for russia's burbank is considering buying the turkish unit of troubled french belgian group dexia now it's struggling to cope with its exposure to greek debt and is considering an asset sale also that burbank say the deciding factor will be the price of the assets of the acquisition would be consistent with the bank's well publicized plan to expand into central and eastern
