to crush al qaeda and bring the taliban to its knees are no closer to completion and 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 jason malabo reports. another day in afghanistan's southern battle for more casualties despite official claims that the war is 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 are surviving by these two soldiers one patrol in a vehicle when a roadside bomb exploded beneath them it took less than half an hour for a medical 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 meaning 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 get out of 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 wars 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 going to 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 miche that will restore his appearance so i started to work. at a place. that was going on. also gratifying to make a difference but this. album was very likely not for serious regard states. initial. in the recovery word they're going to says that will be

sure it was a u.s. marine who does his group will for the first class treatment in this recession which are there what's out there i'm just happy that he's ok the shooting was a mistake so he's forgiven. the enduring insurgency suggests that no amount of good will can compensate for civilian casualties that continue clune each month in a war the groans on to some workload. for. and as the war drags on with fewer results it's becoming increasingly tough to justify america's huge investment in the conflict according to m. abdulla and tepidly muslim chaplain north carolina's duke university it is it is a horrible and depressing. it is it is it was it painful to witness the bleeding will live on in society as a result of one war and destruction as to another and it is it is it unfortunately after all these efforts and all this money and all these struggles holidayed

a little 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 as 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 to tackle it fearing 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 just 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 in any blatant overwhelming comprehensive way because that just adds to the enemy list that they have to fight

they're 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 identify as 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 that about ten minutes artie's military analyst explores why the u.s. despite its military superiority is struggling to contain the afghan insurgency. and. do it on their actual. target. is to. seal the. u.s. . mission to bring peace and stability to the. museum as it only has to do. 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 foothold 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 arrest 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 set up. 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

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 blankets to keep demonstrators warm as the season gets chilly here while the donated sleeping bags pile up as the number of protesters grows bigger we just took the chinatown bus if you're from richmond virginia. 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 foods bread cereal we have lunch. we have snacks continually continually throughout the day is your dinner at seven thirty the media center has been broadcasting a live stream from day one of the protests for already three leaks videos film during clashes with police are posted online from these laptops you've got people come. and he run it in here i mean panicky you know adrenaline rush with cameras i

got footage i got footage you know so processing footage getting it online and simultaneously having people tweet you know on facebook when our social media using social media 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 of the viewership really goes up 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 we got 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 that now we need to have been at the evening general assembly and need to be consensus on by everyone here all of the many cooks in this kitchen up here to cook up one thing a revolution of change in america. are two you know. it's more than just a citizen standoff against the big banks some wall street campaigners accuse news outlets of peddling a view that the of the u.s. 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 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 of the collaboration of corporation government

welcome to america guys the difference is is that you know they allow people to acquire material possessions therefore they don't believe that they're slaves to a system i think in regard to what's going on right now i mean people and get people losing homes the mortgage crisis whatever you want to call them it's all just corruption it's just you know at a big media keep perpetuating this old photo corruption or not corruption like the economic travesty or whatever the fact is it's about greed it goes no further than that and people here just kind of see 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 have these on the streets on our twitter stream as a party underscore common r t underscore america one of reporter lucy 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 five thirty. 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 day as 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 the haves 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've taken control of most of sirte one of the last strongholds of deposed colonel moammar gadhafi 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 circle many more remain meaning there is a high risk of civilian casualties in an audio message supposedly from gadhafi himself that was a call for libyans to rise and resist the interim leaders british based activist

and journalist soupcon chandan says we shouldn't expect western powers to leave libya any time soon. from the off 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 they cannot from libya but they want to conduct now in syria i think china and russia have admitted that they were fooled over the resolution one thousand seven. three on one libya i'm not going to be fooled again there's no sign whatsoever that nato is going to leave nato it will intervene even . if the faction amongst the rebels continues to with this relationship continues to watch them and it's very clear that the west of them and on the ground is 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 to slump in those which 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 pound seventy five billion pounds into britain's teetering economy one 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 is is hajji 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 strategy 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 the times will play all the way 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 these downgrades. 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 crash then 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 almost from your doctor about your state of health i think it is a welcome one it seems there are a few countries escaping public anger at the prospect of more pain to pay down national debts for more on this level 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 the banks. i'm here. this week let's talk about pat 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 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 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 at the center of the of all of the most important issues right now that we're going to hear from spain did blood money funds would be to spend it we have people for life other countries got. it one of

the he's a values they say all of you guys are doing. i mean thirty five percent of our wealth is owned 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 now is back 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 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 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 me like no other people are feeling this way as well so i mean it and this inseparably point i think that this is this is going to draw attention it's 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. where there is fist shaking out the financial fallout thousands of students march protesting against education cuts if you paint in flayers at banks and tried to block railway lines but over dispersed by police demonstrators say the event marks the new wave of what's been called the hot autumn which last year saw several thousand clashes with police in italy recently signed off forty five billion euros

of cuts to tackle its debt. 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 are still heavy resistance on the streets from those it was told to the 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 killer of a punjab governor one of the officials only guards shot him dead earlier this year because of his remarks on pakistan's blasphemy law the assassin's lawyer is appealing the sentence 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 part is getting played is getting wider recognition yet washington and islamabad

are rarely seeing eye to eye with political joe sting pushing relations to a new low artie's military analyst explores what might take 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 that three weeks ago was a twenty hour siege by the ha going to a network right after nine eleven the united states government made to fateful decision to authorize a military invasion into afghanistan the 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 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 bit diplomatic requests from washington d.c. with their middle finger 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 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. the clock's ticking for a decision on palestine's bid for u.n. membership and president abbas is using it to rally 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 up later. are. we here because. this is ilin belongs to. will if they are still going to be thinking. and gun shows and people will believe that. ok this is where you guys and this

is. this is. 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 that mark is stand on the area with grand states that have inspired some of russia's greatest writers including mikhail lament of but as you've found out some places

that have aroused a writer's passions in the past face a shaky future. a tale of two states that hammy a modest country see that the. survived in farming and small scale manufacturing that happened to be the childhood home one of russia's most legendary figures mikhail adamant of a child prodigy a fiery tempered soldier womanizer and finally a great romantic poet the novelist he died and it to an age of twenty seven while little of his work was composed here they're meant to it's buried in the family more psyllium. 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 right descendants of the serbs who worked there dressed up as this is 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 and as good a state as one the poet himself was living here all the ground houses in the area which are just as important architecturally but which are not getting the same care and 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 a need of the government nor any private investors will put in the millions of

dollars needed to rebuild it. now where the so 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. yet the villages of crack america have decided to fight there never to be going from house to house to collect donations underlying entirely in volunteers they have to restore a 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 own ancestors could. they face a daunting task but if they don't for build it no one else will. see the region. coming up in our uncensored take on the state of the world finances
