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 min park 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 mesh that will restore his appearance so i started to work. at it. but that was what's going on. also gratifying to make a difference especially this. all that very likely not even more serious regards to. additional. in the recovery ward well his father at home of the says

that while he's sure it was a u.s. marine will it be his son he's grateful for the first class treatment he has ricin which other whites haven't come just happy that he's ok this shooting. mystique so he's given accident the enduring insurgency suggests that no amount of good will can compensate for civilian casualties that continue to climb each month in a world with grounds of choice and workload. for. as the war continues with fewer results it's becoming increasingly tough to justify america's huge investment in the conflict according to him on. a muslim chaplain at north carolina's duke university it is really a horrible and depressing. it is really it wasn't painful to witness the bleeding wound of time in society as a result of one war and destruction after another and it is it is it unfortunate after all these efforts and all this money and all these struggles made

the sentiments already spread to the country's other major cities including boston chicago los angeles and washington york's mayor strongly criticized the swelling on rest against the power of wall street saying its banks fail more people will lose jobs the protests have already cost the city about two million dollars while most brushed off the demonstrators as anarchist parties and especially churkin i discovered it's far more organized etc. 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 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 done but at the same guy . every part seems to be handled by someone

a medical area staffed by volunteers provides on the spot assistance a comfort area supply sweaters and blankets 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 of you 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 morning people don't know breakfast foods bread cereal so we have lunch around but we have snacks continually continually throughout the day because your dinner at seven thirty a media center has been broadcasting a live stream from day one of the protests for already three weeks videos film during clashes with police are posted online from these laptops you've got people coming to run it in. here i mean panicky you know adrenaline rush with cameras i got footage i got footage you know so process included getting it online and

simultaneously having people tweet you know on facebook when i was social media using social media and to get it out get the message out of what's happening as quick as possible like feeds of the protests are being followed by supporters across the u.s. and the world the viewership really goes a long as you keep a steady content you know provision information is also spread in more traditional ways the status board helps protesters keep up to date with occupation developments today is day twenty one of occupy wall street zero chance of rain the number of arrests to date at over eight hundred and thirty four. a library area let's protesters relax and educate themselves with literature fitting most tastes fiction nonfiction magazines without a kid section we got c.d.'s we had d.v.d.'s a guy documentaries occupy wall street prides itself in being a peaceful grassroots democratic movement without leaders there are just different decisions made by different groups if there's

a if there is to be some decision that's going to supposedly speak on bart on behalf of everyone here but now we need to happen at the evening general assembly and need to be consensus on by everyone here all of the many cooks in this kitchen are here to cook up one thing a revolution of change in america mr sutured party new york. our correspondents in new york are keeping across ongoing protests in lower manhattan you can follow what they see as it happens on our twitter streams that's underscore common r.t. underscore america one of reporter lucy cavanagh is tweets she says protesters are concerned that major political groups are trying to take over and capitalize on the movement and also watch footage of what's going on at. war coming up in a few minutes including. i mean thirty five write that. down by one percent of the population if you're going. that well you should have to pay to see that while the as voices of discontent grow on wall street already tries to get to the bottom of

what the movement is actually fighting for. but first british banks have been dealt another body blow twelve of them 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 again if they get into more trouble because confidence in financials to slump and those with large savings would be to move elsewhere in case there's a collapse the bank of england also seems more trouble to its seventy five billion pounds into britain's teetering economy one leading british economist tells r.t. injecting more cash could cause more harm we already have inflation of around about five percent in the united kingdom which compared to recent years is is hallie putting more money into the economy risks 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 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 growth strategies one that i think they lack of the moment what we've got to get away from in the united kingdom and actually right across the western world more generally is this idea that every single bank is culpable because if they get into trouble look times we will kill them out and one of the key things that the u.k. government is struggling with is how do we allow a bank to go through the wall when to fail without actually describing the wider economy and i think that these. actually reflect the fact we are beginning to move away from what was a hopeless and helpless situation which basically every bank you that if you crash in the time when the government would come to the right so it's a grim warning but in the same why if you would wish to have only statoil 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 a national debts that's returned to new york to find out whether the occupy wall street campaigners think they'll win their fight against the bankers power. i'm here at occupy wall street this week let's talk about bet i think what we're 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't be subjected to . you know one percent of the one percent those the real bad guys you know who make over five million ten million dollars a year working 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 going to hear from spain did put money would be to spain we have people for life other colleges i just saw in one of the he's a values they say all of you guys are doing. 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 wealthy it's only fair do you think that's going to happen through movements like this you know who knows but at least 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 of some justice and some some enforcement of the regulations we already have on the books that would be

a good start keeping that's going to happen. i have to believe so 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 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 makes it so people can identify and be like oh other people are feeling this way as well so i mean it and the since of a 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 the bottom line and these people are getting the word out. and it's not only of us for those fist shaking at the financial fallout thousands of students have marched in the capital protesting against education cuts if you 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 that's being

called the hot autumn which last year saw several thousand people clash with police in italy recently signed off forty five billion euros of cuts to tackle its debt. hundreds of radical muslims protested across pakistan against a death sentence being handed to the killer of the 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 if the sizing the death penalties are rarely carried out in pakistan in recent years. pakistan's role in securing a coalition victory in afghanistan has been overlooked although for today although today the part it's played is getting more recognition yet washington and islamabad rarely see eye to eye with political jesting pushing relations to a new low artie's military abolition explores what it might take to guarantee pakistani 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 that three weeks ago was under the twenty hours siege by the ha going to network right after nine eleven the united states government made to fateful decision to authorize the 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 have the global war on terror first after al qaeda central rate 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

a behind their back to see if they could and should have saved the day by activating their formidable human intelligence network in afghanistan to conduct a clone 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. it's time to delve deeper into the world's biggest country and take in more of russia close up.

or in the pens a region around six hundred kilometers southeast of moscow a relatively small region but one that punches above its weight culturally that mark is stamped on the area with grandiose states that have inspired some of russia's greatest writers including mikhail wehbe and dolls but as you were explain some places that have aroused writers passions in the past may face a shaky future. a tale of two states that hammy a modest country see that in sorest times survival in farming and small scale manufacturing that happened to be the childhood home one of russia's most legendary figures mikhail detriment of the child prodigy the fiery tempered soldier womanizer and finally a great romantic poet the novelist he died in a jewel an age of twenty seven while little of his work was composed here they're

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 one man the diamond prince alexander correction in soviet times it served as a warehouse and a home for dementia sufferers before falling into disrepair need of the government nor any private investors who put in the millions of dollars needed to rebuild it. now where the so stay on the one hand you can't turn all of these the states into me. easy it was 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 oh look you have you have the villages of crack america decided to fly didn't have to be 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
