ten am in moscow i met treasurer good to have you with us here on r t our top story the afghan war is now in its second decade but its original goals of crushing al qaeda and bringing the taliban to its knees see no closer to completion amid an escalating nationwide insurgency this year is already shaping up to be the deadliest on a conflict not only for coalition troops but afghan civilians as well as jason moloch reports from afghanistan. another day on the skin students of the battles and more casualties displayed official claims that the war's be one of those a living is living up to be deduced yet from u.s. forces fighting to tell you the decade long taliban solutions to things to improve medical treatment bill of these casualties who would have perished in previous conflicts a survivor these two soldiers were on patrol vehicle when roadside bombs exploded beneath them so close that half an hour for a medical crew to pick them up. a helicopter and deliver them to the trauma ward of

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 it continues or flown to germany for treatment all right you guys were out and this was still it 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 get into a firefight with the taliban his village in helmand province a 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 outgoing bystanders mostly gunshot blessed with them in this follow up operation he and his team are reconstructing the boy's forehead with a titanium mesh that will restore his appearance so i started work.

i think. that there was no one on. top of gratifying to make the difference but this i know that very likely not more serious guard states additional. in the recovery ward well he's followed at home with says that while he's sure it was a u.s. marine will admit his son is grateful for the first class treatment of his recent what's right or what's out there i'm just happy that he's ok this shooting was a mistake so he's forgiven accident or not the enduring insurgency suggests that no amount of good will can compensate for civilian casualties that continue to climb each month in a war the grown zone case and will flood and came north kynaston for our team. despite promises to wind down the war and withdraw from afghanistan by two thousand and fourteen r.t. has been hearing how the strategic benefits of the resource rich region in the u.s. is likely to keep us enough to get military presence there. if the u.s.

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 form their own natural alliances with their neighbors and the united states does not want that 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 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 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 and credibility for his people. and about ten minutes artie's military analyst explores why the u.s.

despite its tremendous military superiority is struggling to contain the insurgency . address the american. target. is to. sing the songs she wants. to be sure to bring peace and stability to. the left. use presence on patrol in new york as the occupy wall street movement gains against a bank greed enters its fourth week and gets if you prefer to hold across the country sentiments already spread to america's other major cities including boston chicago los angeles and washington new york's mayor has strongly criticized the swelling on the rest against the power of wall street saying if the banks fail more people will lose their jobs protests have already cost the city an estimated two

million dollars almost brushing off the demonstrators as an ark is sarkies i mistrusted churkin and discovered it's a far more organized set up. these are. people you know. accused of being anarchists and disorganized the occupy wall street encampment is far from chaotic it is syrup like a small village broken up into themed sections 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 the way that it's being but at the same. every part seems to be handled by someone in the medical area staffed by volunteers provides on the spike assistance or comfort area supply sweaters and blankets to keep demonstrators warm as the. knowledge rise for about we'll get back to that later here on our t.v.

coming up it's a little more than just a citizen standoff going on against the big banks some of the wall street campaigners accuse news outlets they are of peddling a view that the u.s. that bears little resemblance to reality live by millions of americans. 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 so you know the bring you know benito mussolini and the foreign fascism is a collaboration of corporation and government welcome to america guys the difference is is you know they be allow people to acquire material possessions therefore they don't believe that they're slaves to a system that we give regards to would point out right now i mean people and good people losing homes the mortgage crisis whatever you want to call it it's all just corruption it's just you know the big media teacher particularly in this whole political corruption earn about corruption like economic travesty or whatever but

the fact is it's about greed it goes no further than that and people need to just kind of see it enough is enough. our correspondents in new york are keeping across the ongoing protests in lower manhattan you can follow what they say as it happens in our twitter streams there at r t underscore an arche underscore america on a reporter lucy cavanagh it's tweets she says protesters are concerned that major political groups are trying to walk in top of the lies the movement and also watch our footage of what's going on our you tube channel and there's more coming up in a few minutes. i mean thirty five very stand up by well the down by one percent of the population if you're going to be that wealthy you should have to pay a tax to be that wealthy as voices of discontent grow louder on wall street are he tries to get to the bottom of what that movement is actually fighting for.

a very warm welcome to you this is your news today protesters on the whole city streets they have. essentially. since the beginning. this of the human spirit it's. pretty clear to me and the song change things and. these are the reasons to me to you don't think that in six monkeys and he wants to be seems way to balance his risk of the few close to see it's like close to. something else we played the game sealevel i think is us. seeing it seems. the. programs increase the total economy.

arriving on the economy coming your way on r t eight twenty am g.m.t. . libya's interim government forces claim they've taken control of most of search one of the final strongholds of the deposed colonel moammar gadhafi this after a renewed assault on the town with heavy tank and a rocket fire but there is still heavy resistance on the streets from those loyal to the ousted leader despite reports claiming thousands have left the city and many more remain meeting there is a high risk in civilian casualties a recorded audio message allegedly from gadhafi himself it was a call for libyans to rise and resist the interim leaders british peace activist in journalism can shine and in things we shouldn't expect western powers to leave the country any time soon. on the part of the global south africa in particular this is being absolutely civilians are clearly talkative and i think when china in this last few days china and russia have vetoed the un resolution

which is a 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 hundred seventy three on one libya i'm not going to be fooled again there's no sign whatsoever that nato is going to leave nato as will intervene even . if the factional amongst the rebels continues to this that the relationship continues to worsen and it's very clear that for the west and for mates so their men on the ground these people like jabril. so the battle is far from over. the clock is ticking for a decision on palestine speed for u.n. membership and president abbas is using it to rally what support he can currently lobbying international groups and friends back home time is already running out for palestinians who say they're being squeezed out of their cities by jewish settlers as r.t. reports in about fifteen minutes. we

hear it because our country alex that. this militant belongs to us. will if they are still going to be thinking. culturalism people will believe that god is real staycation ok to stand for you guys and this guy says. you know this is or do something like that. british banks have been dealt another body blow to well about their credit scores

cut by moody's rating agency leading firms including lloyds and r.b.s. were downgraded after indications the british government is now less likely to bail them out if they get into trouble it caused confidence in financials. and those with large savings were being encouraged to move their cash elsewhere in case of collapse bank of england also sees more trouble to its part seventy five billion pounds into britain's teetering economy one leading british economist tells r.t. that putting more money into the system would cause more harm. we already have inflation of around about five percent in the united kingdom which compared to recent years is he's hallie putting more money into the it probably actually increasing that inflation is supposed to be the bank of england's central key toss to actually keep inflation under control two and a half percent or less my concern is that course could be easing throwing you know suddenly fall billion pounds into the economy is actually a distraction from what the u.k.

government needs which is a very aggressive and radical approach scratch one that i think you lack at the moment but we've got to get it why you from in the united kingdom and actually right across the western world more generally is the sole idea that every single bank is culpable because if they get into trouble look times but i will tell you all the banks and one of the key things that the u.k. government is struggling with is how do we allow our pain to go through the wall when to fail without actually destroying the wider economy and i think that the the right sort of actually reflects the fact that we are beginning to move away from what was a hopeless and helpless situation in which basically every bank you could if you crash in the time i would be government would come to the right so it's a grim warning put in the sinai as you would wish to have only statoil most is from your doctor about your state of health i think it is a welcome warning. there is in to be a few countries escaping public rage at the prospect of more pain to pay for

national debts let's return to new york to find out whether the occupy wall street campaigners think they'll win their battle against the bankers. i'm here at occupy wall street this week let's talk about that i think what we're really protesting is you know the failure of the systems or 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 dollars a year for doing that well i do feel that the country is in a very serious serious situation party just the united states or is it a global issue it's a global issue but the united states says at the center. of all of the most important issues right now that we're going to. put money on for peter spain here we have people for like i just saw in one of the he's

a values they say all of us are doing. for i mean thirty five bridge that. by one percent of the population if you're going to be that wealthy you should have to pay a tax to be that wealthy only fair do you think that's going to happen through movements like this you know now it's bad we're out here trying during the sixty's there were riots in newark and l.a. because of poverty inequality racism is at first i mean people riot 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 i was going to spread all over the country we're trying to make sure that doesn't happen by having a peaceful revolution of some justice and some some enforcement of the regulations we already have on the books that would be a good start it happened. i have to believe so you have to be i believe so

how is this going to achieve that. with 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 though 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's make it so people can identify me like no other people are feeling this way as well so i mean it and it's of a rally point but 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. and it's not only the u.s. workers face shaking up the financial fallout thousands of students have these capital protesting against education cuts they threw paint and flares at banks and tried to block railway lines but were eventually dispersed by police demonstrators say the event marks the new wave of what's being called hot autumn which last year saw several thousand people clash with police italy recently signed off forty five

billion euros of cuts to tackle its debt. and other world news a speeding bus and a car collided in china leaving at least thirty five dead nineteen injured most of the victims thought to be college students returning after national holidays many were thrown from the vehicle as it flipped over after the crash it's one of three major road accidents in china on the last day of the week long holiday. hundreds of radical muslims have protested across pakistan against a death sentence being handed to the killer of a job governor one of the officials guards had shot him dead earlier this year because of his remarks on pakistan's across from the war you know sas as a lawyer is appealing the sevens emphasizing that death penalties have rarely been carried out in pakistan and recently. pakistan's role in securing a coalition victory in afghanistan has been overlooked for many years although today it's getting part and that today in the part it's played is getting more

recognition yet washington and islamabad rarely see eye to eye with political jostein pushing relations to a new low artie's military analyst explores what it might take to guarantee pakistan's support. this is the commanding heights that dominates this sweeping view wealth 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 hug and a network right after nine eleven the united states government made a fateful decision to authorize their military invasion into ever again a state 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 with 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 we have that pakistan for cooperation against osama bin ladden going to slam about brazenly ignored big diplomatic requests 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 clone dance time body snatching mission and to bring osama bin laden to justice but they just blew it looking back operation enduring freedom the question is not what went wrong we have this mission the question is what's preventing this 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 but before the nine eleven did strike the united states. it's time to tell the deeper now into the world's biggest country and take in more of russia closer. we're in pens around six hundred kilometers southeast of moscow a relatively small region but one that punches above its weight culturally the mark is stamped on the area with a grand as states that have inspired some of russia's greatest writers including a kyle learmonth but as he explains some places that have roused writer's passions in the past face a shaky future. a tale of two states that had me a modest country see that and. survived in farming and small scale manufacturing
