pm and. good to have you with us here on r t our top story the afghan war is now in its second decade but his original aim is to crush al qaeda and bring the taliban to its knees are no closer to completion i made an escalating nationwide insurgency this year is already shaping up to be the deadliest in the conflict not just for coalition troops but afghan civilians too as chase and not live reports. another day on afghanistan so the battles more casualties displayed official claims that the war is being won two thousand live it is lining up to be deduced yet u.s. forces fighting continued the decade long taliban insurgency for things to improve medical capabilities casualties and would have perished in the previous conflicts of surviving but these two soldiers one patrolled the evil would road side bomb exploded beneath them so to listen half an hour for middlebrooks crew to pick them up by helicopter and deliver them to the trauma ward of kandahar airfield one of

the country's busiest their injuries are bad but due to extreme nummi will most likely stay on bruce until they've recovered more severe cases such as it be ten days a flu to germany for treatment all right you guys we got this missile 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 are going to a firefight with the telephone this village in helmand province the bullet shattered part of the school and would have killed him if not for emergency surgery in six months dr main part says he's treated more than the 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.

out a picture of what. was going on. also gratified to make a difference especially this. held that very likely not more serious guard stays additional. in the recovery ward well he's followed at home and says that while he sure it was a u.s. marine will admit his son is grateful for the first class treatment of his recent china which had i'm just happy that he's ok the 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 chasing muckluck in kandahar afghanistan for our team and as the war drags on with fewer results it's becoming increasingly tough to justify america's huge investment in a conflict according to an tetley muslim chaplain at north carolina's duke university. it is it is already well and depressing. it is it wasn't

painful to witness the bleeding wounds of often society as a result of one war and destruction as they are another and it is it is it unfortunate after all these efforts and all these money and all these struggles little international community local afghan government has achieved afghanistan today after ten years of us being there i think in many ways it is worse off not better off one of the major outcomes of the u.s. led operation in afghanistan is a dramatic increase in the country's drug production is the undisputed leader in narcotics producing ninety three percent of the world's opiates and as the former chief of staff to u.s. secretary of state colin powell tells us american forces are close to doing nothing to fear hearing more resistance who benefits from this is who benefits from it in mexico and colombia and other places it's people who are heavily invested in the

drug trade and i don't necessarily mean those who are taking it there is a connection and that connection is very simple it is that the troops don't want to attack those people who are raising drugs not eating late an overwhelming comprehensive way because that just adds to the enemy list that they have to fight they are fighting all manner of taliban now different groups of taliban they're fighting people who are just pashtun and want them out of the country who may have been advised taliban they don't want to add to that enemies list all the people who are raising drugs in afghanistan and making a profit from their. about ten minutes artie's military analyst explores why the u.s. despite its military superiority is struggling to contain the afghan insurgency. america which. can still. feel defeated the us moving. mission to bring peace and

stability to the. book ten years old as it only left to change. there's a heavy police presence on patrol in new york as the occupy wall street movement against bank greed enters its fourth week and gets a deeper fourfold across the u.s. sentiments already spread to the country'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 that if the 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 an archaic sarkies honest r.c. church found out it's a far more organized aside. these are. people that you know. accused of being and we kissed and disorganized and off i was she didn't campaign is far from chaotic it is sort of 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 time. every part seems to be channeled by my medical area staffed by volunteers provides on the spot assistance for confort area supply sweaters and boy gets to keep demonstrators warm as the season gets chilly or while they don't need it sleeping bags pile up as the number of protesters grows bigger resort to chinatown most of us from richmond virginia and the 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 food grade cereal we have lunch around but we have snacks considering it can be really throughout the day 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 come. many run it in here i mean panicky you know adrenaline rush with cameras i got footage i got footage you know processing footage getting it online and simultaneously having people tweet you know on facebook when our social media using social media and to get it out get the message out of what's happening as quick as possible why feeds of the protests are being followed by supporters across the u.s. and the world the viewership really goes up as you keep a steady content you know provision information is also spread in more traditional ways the state is what helps protesters keep up to date but occupation developments as they try to run up 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 getting most tastes fiction nonfiction

magazines we have a kid section we've got c.d.'s we had d.v.d.'s a guy dropped out watch documentaries i'll keep my 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 and now we need to happen at the evening general assembly and we need to be consensus on by everyone here all of the many cooks in the kitchen and here to cook up one thing a revolution of change in america. archie you know. it's more than just a citizen stand off against the big banks on wall street campaigners accuse news outlets of peddling a view that the of the us that bears little resemblance to the reality that they say is 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 and 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 this when you know benito mussolini had to find fascism in the collaboration of corporation government welcome to america guys the difference is is. you know they allow people to acquire material possessions therefore they don't believe that they are slaves to the system but they give regard to what's going on right now i mean people and dead people losing homes the mortgage crisis whatever you want to call it it's all just corruption it's just the end of it immediately perpetuated no potable corruption back record 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 see it enough is enough. our correspondents in new york are keeping on top of the ongoing protests in lower manhattan you can follow what they say how things on the streets on our twitter streams parky underscore common r t underscore on america one of reporter lucy cavanagh it's to each she says protesters are concerned that major political groups

are trying to take over and capitalize on the movement you can also find footage of what's going on there on our you tube channel here's what's coming up in a few minutes i mean thirty three. i was made down by one percent of the population and if you're going to be that wealthy you should have to pay a tax to be that loud the voices of discontent grow louder on wall street already tries to get to the bottom of what the movement actually stands for. and why is this as a cultural weight hard to overstate or he has to central russia to a place that triggered the talent of some of the country's greatest writers. but first libyan interim government forces claim they have taken control of most of sirte one of the last strongholds of deposed colonel moammar gadhafi and it's 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 certain anymore remain meaning there is a high risk of civilian casualties and an audio message supposedly from gadhafi himself that was a call for libyans to rise and resist the interim leaders british based activists and journalists and in says we shouldn't expect western powers to leave libya and you see. from the paul the global south africa in particular this is being absolutely civilians are clearly targeted and i think when mount china in this last few days china and russia have vetoed the u.n. resolution which is a similar program by nato which may come out from libya but they want to conduct now in syria i think china and russia have admitted that they will have fooled over the resolution once and so. three on one libya i'm not going to be fooled again ms no sign whatsoever that nato is going to leave nato i will intervene even. if the faction amongst the rebels continues through with this relationship continues to

watch them and it's very clear that for the rest of 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 moody's rating agency leading firms including lloyds and r.b.s. were downgraded after indications that the british government is now less inclined to bail them out if they get into trouble it caused confidence in financials the slump in those words with large savings were encouraged to move that money elsewhere in case of a collapse the bank of england also sees more trouble to its part seventy five billion pounds into britain's teetering economy while leading british economist tells r.t. injecting more cash into the system could cause more harm. we already have inflation of around about five percent in the united kingdom which compared to recent years this is hardly putting more money into the economy risks actually increasing that inflation it's mostly 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 suddenly falling billion pounds into the economy is actually a distraction from what the u.k. government needs which is a very aggressive and radical growth strategy one that i think they lack at 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 copper bottomed because if they get into trouble the times will kill them out and one of the key things that the u.k. government is struggling with is how do we allow it by to go for the war wounds of title without actually destroying the wider economy and i think that these these downgrades of actually reflect 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 crashed in the time when the government would come to the right so it's a grim warning but in the same why as you would wish to have an only statoil notice

from your doctor about your state of health i think it is a welcome warning seems there are a few countries escaping public anger at the prospect of more pain to pay down national debts for more on this bill go back to the streets of new york to find out whether the occupy wall street campaigners think they'll win their fight against the power of. i'm here at st this week let's talk about that i think what 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 one percent those are 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 where he just the united states or is it a global issue it's

a global issue but the united states says that the center. of all of the most important issues right now that we're going to pieces that you're like money wants to be from spain we have people from like other countries got. in one of the he's a values he's all of those are doing. for i mean thirty five percent by well 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 i found the fair do you think that's going to happen through movements like this you know who now is bad these were out here trying during the sixty's there were riots in newark and l.a. because of poverty inequality racism etc so i mean people riot 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 some justice and some some enforcement of the regulations we

already had on the books that would be a good start heating up going to happen. i have to believe so yeah i 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 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's big so people can identify you like no other people are feeling this way as well so i mean it and the sense of a rally point i think that this is this is going to draw it's also going to draw people in why didn't you agree with the bottom line and people are getting the word . and it's not only the u.s. where there is fist shaking out of financial fallout thousands of students march protesting against education cuts if you're painted in flayer as

a banks and tried to block railway lines but eventually dispersed by police demonstrators say the event marks of the new wave of what's been called the hot autumn which last year saw several thousand clashed with police in italy recently signed off forty five billion euros of cuts to tackle its debt. libya's interim government forces claim they've 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 a tank and a rocket fire but there are still heavy resistance on the streets from those that wanted to be ousted leader despite reports of those are claiming thousands of people have left certain many still remain meaning there is a high risk of civilian casualties. hundreds of radical muslims are protested across pakistan against a death sentence being given to the siller of a punjabi governor one of the officials only guards shot him dead earlier this year because of his remarks on pakistan's prosper you are the assassin's lawyer is appealing the sevens emphasizing that death penalties have rarely been carried out

in pakistan in recent years. pakistan's role in securing a coalition victory in afghanistan has been overlooked for years although today the power is getting plates plate is getting wider recognition yet rushing to an end is all about a rarely seen eye to eye with political jostein pushing relations to a new low artie's military analyst explores what take what it might take to guarantee pakistan's support. this is the commanding heights that dominates this sweeping view was that i've been an area of kabul the afghan capital. right behind me the reason that three weeks ago was under the twenty hour with seeds by the hug and a network right after nine eleven the united states government made to fateful decision to authorize their 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 radio boito 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 dance time body snatching mission and to bring some of the ludden to justice but 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 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 struck the united states. the clock's ticking for a decision on palestine's bid for u.n. membership and president abbas is using it to rally you the support he can currently lobbying international groups and friends back home time is running out though for palestinians who say they're being squeezed out of their own cities by jewish settlers as r.t. reports coming out later. argue. we hear you because our country our. time is this is the end belongs to our. will if there are still going to be

thinking. going chosen people will believe that gone is the asian kids that are you guys this is. going to win or this is over. this is my. time to delve deeper into the world's biggest country and take in more of russia close up.

or exploring pens are around six hundred kilometers southeast of moscow a relatively small region but one that punches above its weight culturally about marking a stand on the area with grand states that have inspired some of russia's greatest writers including reptile alarm went off but as you were found out some places that have aroused the writer's passions in the past to face a shaky future. a tale of two states that a family a modest country see that i'm sorry it's time to survive in farming and small scale manufacturing that happened to be the childhood home one of britain's most legendary figures mikhail there until the child prodigy firey complete soldier womanizer and finally a great romantic poet the novelist he died in a jewel age of twenty seven while little of his work was composed here their mother is buried in the family mausoleum. 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. now two hundred people look after the estate as in the nineteenth century but a family has become the main employer of her adjacent billet is. direct descendants of the serfs who work here dress up and assist with the job. some get to play the heiress across for the benefit of tourists as the numbers are growing there's no need for the state to turn a profit. while the level of family and as good a state as one the port himself was living. there ground in the area just as important. funding. one of russia's grand palaces well not anymore in its heyday in the nineteenth century reckon it was the self-sufficient cultural center for the benefit of the diamond prince alexander

could walk in and solve your crimes and so there's a warehouse and a home for dementia sufferers before falling into disrepair and even the government nor any private investors the millions of dollars needed to rebuild it. now so on the one hand you can just turn all of these the states into me. 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 look at the villages of cracking or distorted thought i'd been never going from house to house to collect donations and rely entirely on volunteers to help out the restored state building by building starting with a cemetery chuckle but i mean we are not professional restorers we have little money for materials we only do as we can but who do not want to be thought of savages who do not understand where we live we want to ancestors critical so. they

face a daunting task but if they don't for build it no one else will. you know thoughtfully and in the region coming up in our uncensored take on the state of the world finances with artie's kaiser and stacy herbert after a recap of our top stories here with us. wealthy british science scientists sometimes the time.
