bringing the taliban to its knees are no closer to completion amid an escalating nationwide insurgency this year is already shaping up to be the deadliest in the conflict not only for coalition troops but for afghan civilians as well jason mog reports. another day on afghanistan southern battlefront and more casualties despite official claims that the war's being won two thousand and eleven is lining up to be the deadliest yet for u.s. forces fighting to tame the decade long taliban insurgency but things to improve medical capabilities casualties who would have perished in previous conflicts survive these two soldiers one patrol in a vehicle when a roadside bomb exploded beneath him it took less than half an hour for a medivac crew to pick them up by helicopter and deliver them to the trauma ward at kandahar airfield one of the country's busiest their injuries are bad but not extreme i mean we will most likely stay on base until they've recovered more severe cases such as if you teens are flown to germany for treatment all right you guys with. this facility was built to save critically injured american troops fresh from

the front lines but doctors here also treat afghan civilians caught in the war's crossfire with nowhere else to go for help nine year old wally was shot in the head by a stray bullet earlier this year when u.s. marines got into a firefight with the taliban his village in helmand province the bullet shattered part of his skull and would have killed him if not for emergency surgery in six months dr main part says he's treated more than a fair share of afghan bystanders mostly gunshot and bomb blast victims in this follow up operation he and his team are reconstructing the boy's forehead with a titanium miche that will restore his appearance so i started to work. at it but i haven't what's going on. also gratifying to make a difference especially this right. now that are very likely not even more serious regards to these initial. in the recovery ward well his father at home and says

that while he's sure it was a u.s. marine will admit his son he's grateful for the first class treatment on his recent which i don't know what's out there i'm just happy that he's ok this shooting. do you think. the enduring insurgency suggests that no amount of good will can compensate for civilian casualties that continue to clooney each month in a war with grown zone to use and workload. for. despite u.s. promises to wind down the war and withdraw from afghanistan by two thousand and fourteen artie's been hearing how the strategic benefits of the resource rich region mean the u.s. is likely to keep a significant military presence there if the us military were to leave afghanistan altogether or if it were to leave iraq altogether those governments would become independent determining governments free of foreign interference or foreign occupation that's what would happen they would form their own natural alliances

with their neighbors the united states does not want that this is the great prize this is a geo strategic between resource rich part of the world united states is there for the long term and i think that's the real goal is to put firmly afghanistan and the surrounding countries into an american spear 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 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. in about fifteen minutes our teens military adults to explore why the u.s. despite its tremendous military superiority is struggling to contain the afghan insurgency.

to defeat the hewitt's movement. to bring peace and stability to the. left in danger. so heavy police presence on patrol in new york as the occupy wall street movement against bang greed enters its fourth week and gets a deeper foothold across the country the sentiments already spread to america's other major cities including boston chicago los angeles and washington new york's mayor a strongly criticized the sprawling out arrest against the power of wall street saying if the banks fail more people will lose their jobs the protests have already cost the city an estimated two million dollars and while most brush off the demonstrators has an arc it's artie's out a stasi churkin a discovered it's all far more organized. these are anarchists these are the people that you know. accused of being anarchist and disorganized the occupy wall street

encampment is far from chaotic it is set up like a small village folk and up into themed sections with a better organized than i thought it would be. they really have it set up so that there isn't a clear leader in the organization and the way that it's being done but at the same time. every part seems to be handled by someone a medical area staffed by volunteers provides on the spot assistance or comfort area supply sweaters and boy gets to keep demonstrators warm as the season gets chilly or while the donated sleeping bags pile up as the number of protesters grows bigger we just took the chinatown bus appeared from richmond virginia. to kitchen providing a traditional american breakfast bread bagels and peanut butter and jelly plant foods are used to filter water here we have breakfast at seven thirty in the

people are standing up against corporations that actually run the media i mean it just goes to show we don't live in a democracy i mean the fact is if you have no freedom of press you know i mean there is no democracy there and i was i was for you know the bring you know benito mussolini of the foreign fascism of the collaboration a corporation a government welcome to america guys the difference is. you know they allow people to acquire material possessions therefore they don't believe that they are slaves to a system i think in regard to what's going on right now i mean people and dead people losing homes the mortgage crisis whatever you want to call them it's all just corruption it's just a big media keep perpetuating this so vocal corruption there are about corruption like the economic travesty or whatever the fact is it's about greece it goes no further than that and people here just kind of say enough is enough. our new york correspondents are keeping across the protests in lower manhattan and you can follow what they see as it happens by following our twitter stream. underscore

america their. tweets she says protesters are concerned that major political groups are trying to take over and capitalize on the movement you can also watch our footage of what's happening at archie's you tube channel and coming up here in a few minutes i mean thirty five for. by one percent of the population if you're going to be that wealthy you should have to pay a tax that while as voices of discontent grow louder on wall street our tries to get to the bottom of what the movement is actually fighting for. a very warm welcome this is your news today protesters on the. street they have.

been to two cities to get the status of the human experiment. to see this right people's. lives trying to make sense of local economies and it's all things and. the reason. kids and. wants to be. close to come. close. to fail so we played the game feel like thing is us crashing to smash the ceiling. in the buses and the i think construction people just programs in greece. the news unraveled through. at eight twenty am g.m.t. . libya's interim government forces claim they have taken control of most of sirte one of the last strongholds of the deposed colonel gadhafi this after

a renewed assault on the town with heavy tank and rocket fire but there is still heavy resistance on the streets from those loyal to the ousted leader despite reports claiming thousands of people have left search many more still remain meaning there is a high risk of civilian casualties and an audio message supposedly from khadafi himself there was a call for libyans to rise and resist the interim leaders british based journalist and activists who can't chandan says we shouldn't expect western powers to leave libya any time soon. from the part of the global south africa in particular this has been an absolute civilians are clearly targeted there and i think now in china in this last few days china and russia have vetoed the un resolution to the similar program by nato which they cannot from libya that they want to conduct now in syria i think china and russia have admitted that they were fooled over the resolution one thousand seventy three on on libya and they're not going to be fooled again there's no sign whatsoever that nato is going to leave

nato as will intervene even. if the faction amongst the rebels continues to this relationship continues to worsen and it's very clear that for the west and for their men on the ground it's people like. the battle is far from over. british banks have been dealt another body blow twelve have had their credit scores cut by rating agency moody's leading firms including lloyds and r.b.s. were downgraded after indications the british government is now less inclined to bail them out if they get the trouble again it caused confidence in the financials to slump and those with large savings were encouraged to move their cash elsewhere in case of collapse the bank of england also sees more trouble to come its seventy five billion pounds into britain's teetering economy one leading british economist though tells r.t. injecting more money may cause more harm we already have inflation of around about five percent in the united kingdom which compared to recent is hallie putting more

money into the economy actually increasing that inflation is supposed to be the bank of england's central kitty toss to actually keep inflation under control so a half percent my concern is that quantitative easing throwing another seventy five billion pounds into the economy is actually a distraction from the u.k. government needs which is a very aggressive and radical strachey's one that i think the lack of the moment what we've got to get out while you are. in the united kingdom and actually right across the western world more generally is this idea that every single bank is copper bottomed because if they get into trouble the taxpayer will kill them out and one of the key things that the u.k. government is struggling with is how do we allow our banks to go for the war when to fail without actually destroying the wider economy and i think that these these downgrades by actually reflect the fact that we are beginning to move away from what was

a hopeless and helpless situation nein which basically every bank you that if you crashed then the time when the government would come to the right so it's a grim warning but in the same way as you would wish to have an almost a toy from your doctor about your state of health i think it is a welcome warning. it seems there are a few countries as scaping public anger at the prospect of more pain to pay for national debts let's go back to new york to find out whether the occupy wall street campaigners think fell when their fight against the power of the banks. i'm here at. this week let's talk about that i think really protesting is you know the failure of the system to respond to you know a kind of higher calling for you know our country you know we can be subjected to. you know one percent of the one percent those are the real bad guys you know who make over five million ten million dollars a year for doing that well i do feel that the country is in

a very serious serious situation but it just the united states or is it a global issue it's a global issue but the united states says that the center of of all of the most important issues right now that we're getting from spain to funds would be to spain we have people for life other colleges. and one of the hes it really is. i mean thirty five percent of our wealth by one percent of the population if you're going to be that wealthy you should have to pay a tax to be that well it's only fair do you think that's going to happen through movements like this you know now as badly as we're out here trying during the sixty's there were riots in newark and l.a. because of poverty inequality racism etc i mean people rioting and burn their old cities down as soon as that happened within a year there were all kinds of government programs to help people out because they

got people really afraid that was going to spread all over the country we're trying to make sure that doesn't happen by having a peaceful revolution some justice and some some enforcement of the regulations we already have on the books that would be a good start the thing that's going to happen. i have to. yeah i have to be i believe so how is this going to achieve that. this is just like the genesis of a bigger movements it's been going on for a couple weeks and every day gets larger and larger so i think eventually it'll bring results but i think i think there's a large amount of discontent with what's going on in this country and i think that this is it makes it so people can identify and be like oh other people are feeling this way as well so i mean it and this into rally point i think that this is this is going to draw attention is also going to draw people in whether or not you agree with their math but the bottom line is these people are getting the word out.

it's not only the u.s. where there is fist shaking out the financial fallout thousands of students marched through italy's capital protesting against education cuts they tossed paint and flayers at banks and tried to block railway lines but were eventually dispersed by police demonstrators say the event marks a new wave of what's being called a hot autumn which last year saw several thousand people clashed with police italy recently signed off forty five billion euros of cuts to tackle its debt. hundreds of radical muslims have protested across pakistan against a death sentence being given to the killer of a punjab governor one of the officials own guards shot him dead earlier this year because of his remarks on pakistan's blasphemy law the assassin's lawyer is appealing the said this emphasizing that death penalties are rarely carried out in pakistan in recent years. pakistan's role in securing a coalition victory in afghanistan has been overlooked for years although today it's today the part it's playing is getting more recognition that washington and

islamabad rally rarely see eye to eye with political joe sting pushing relations to a new low our military analyst explores what it might take to guarantee pakistan's support. this is the commanding height that dominates this sweeping view was the area of kabul the afghan capital. right behind me of the reason bad three weeks ago was under the twenty hour siege by the ha going to network right after nine eleven the united states government made to fateful decision to authorize then military invasion into afghanistan their mission was called operation enduring freedom ten years later it still goes on we've no end in sight let's take a closer look at what went wrong we had the global war on terror first after al qaeda central re deployed to the pashtun tribal belt along the afghan pakistani

border the state department filed a request with pakistan for cooperation against osama bin ladden going to slam about brazenly ignored the diplomatic request from washington d.c. with their middle finger behind their back the cia could and should have saved the day by activating their formidable human intelligence network in afghanistan to conduct a clown dan stein body snatching mission and to bring osama bin laden to justice by they just blew it looking back at operation enduring freedom the question is not what went wrong with this mission the question is what's preventing that w. bush administration to step back and look at all other available options at their disposal and for starters to make sure that pakistan. will be treated. as a reliable ally of the united states not after before the

nine eleven struck the united states. at. taking for a decision on palestine's bid for u.n. membership and president abbas is using it to rally whatever support he can currently lobbying international groups and friends back home times already running out for palestinians who say they're being squeezed out of cities by jewish settlers are reports coming out. we hear you because of how apache out. this is the land belongs to. will if they are still going to be thinking. and going chosen people will believe that. ok this is where you guys and this is is.

this is. this is my. time to delve deeper into the world's biggest country and take in more of russia close up. heading to the pens a region around six hundred kilometers southeast of moscow a relatively small one but one that punches above its weight culturally the mark is stamped on the area with granda states that have inspired some of russia's greatest writers including mikhail lament of but are to explain some places that have roused

writers passions in the past have a shaky future. a tale of two states that a family a modest country see that in sorest times survived on farming and small scale manufacturing that happened to be the childhood home one of russia's most legendary figures mikhail letterman to a child prodigy a fiery tempered soldier womanizer and finally a great romantic poet the novelist he died in a jewel at the age of twenty seven while little of his work was composed here there meant that it's buried in the family more still am. the government has recognized the historical significance of this place where just so lucky for the past few years we have been allowed to flourish. but now two hundred people look after the estate as in the nineteenth century but a family has become the main employer for adjacent villages yes i think they are

all direct descendants of the serbs who worked here dressed up as sissies for the job. some get to play the heiress across for the benefit of tourists as the numbers are growing there is no need for this state to turn a profit. let alone the family as good a state as when the poet himself was living here but other ground houses in the area which are just as important architecturally but which are not getting the same care funding. one of russia's grand palaces well not anymore in its heyday in the nineteenth century reckon it was a self-sufficient cultural center for the benefit of the diamond prince alexander correction in soviet times it served as a warehouse and a home for dementia sufferers before falling into disrepair and needed the government nor any private investors who put in the millions of dollars needed to

rebuild it. now whether they'll stay on the one hand you can turn all of these the states into museums and the lifestyle they supported has gone on the other if the situation continues as it is they will simply disappear and that is a fact i think you have yet the villages of crack america have decided to fight their never going from house to house to collect donations underlying entirely in volunteers they have vowed to restore the state building by building starting with a cemetery chapel but i mean we are not professional restorers we have little money for materials we only do what we can but we do not want to be thought of savages who do not understand where we live we want to honor our ancestors could. they face a daunting task the day don't for build it no one else will. you go faulty the region. back with a recap of our top stories stay with us here on our. wealthy
