into its second decade but its original aims to cross al qaeda and bring the taliban to its knees are no closer to completion amid an escalating nationwide insurgency this year's are ready to shaping up to be the deadliest in the conflict not only for coalition troops but for afghan civilians as well as facing not lack reports now from afghanistan. another day on 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 but these two soldiers one patrol in a vehicle when a roadside bomb exploded beneath them 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 for 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 teams 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 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 it but it was no one there are. also gratifying to make a difference especially this. no very likely not even for sure

regards to an issue. in the recovery ward well the spot they're going to says that while he sure it was a u.s. marine will admit his son he's grateful for the first class treatment in this recession which other which 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 ground's own to use and workload. for two. and as the war drags on with fewer results it's becoming increasingly difficult to justify america's huge investment in the conflict that's the view of a mom and tell me and ted play i should say a muslim chaplain at the north carolina's duke university it is really a horrible and depressing. it is it was in a painful to witness the bleeding will live on in society as

a result of one war and destruction after another and it is it is really unfortunate after all these efforts and all this money and all these struggles made a little the 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 but one of the major outcomes of the u.s. that operation in afghanistan is a dramatic increase in the country's drug production it's the undisputed leader in narcotics producing ninety three percent of the world's opiates and as former chief of staff to the u.s. secretary of state told us american forces are doing close to nothing to tackle it 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 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 a blatant 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 a five 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 but about ten minutes for you artie's military analyst explores why america despite its tremendous military superiority is struggling to contain the insurgency. do it american. target. the. u.s. . mission to bring peace and stability to.

saddam enough to. in other news 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. this sentiment has already spread to the country's other major cities including boston chicago los angeles and washington york's mayor how strongly criticized swelling on the grass against the power of wall street saying that if the banks fail more people move their jobs the protests have already cost the city about two million dollars and almost brushed off the demonstrators as an artist or as he's an associate churkin i discovered it's a far more organized set up. these are entering these are the people you know. accused of being anarchist and disorganized the occupy wall street and count is far from chaotic it is set up like

a small village broken up into themed sections way 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 guy. every part seems to be handled by someone in the 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 child to term us if you're from richmond virginia. the kitchen providing a traditional american breakfast bread bagels and peanut butter and jelly plant fruits are used to filter water here we have breakfast at seven thirty in the morning people don't know breakfast foods bread cereals so we have lunch around but we have snacks can to get continually throughout the day your dinner at seven

thirty the media center has been broadcasting a live stream from day one of the protests for already three weeks videos film jury . clashes with police are posted online from these laptops you've got people coming in running 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 in facebook when our social media using social media to. get the message out of what's happening as quick as possible life 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 the 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've got cd d.v.d. is 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 have been at the evening general assembly and we 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. a party new york. was more than just a citizen stand off against the big banks some of the wall street campaigners accuse news outlets there of peddling a view of the u.s. the bears no resemblance to the reality lives 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 a defined fascism is a collaboration of corporation and government welcome to america guys the difference is 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 dead people losing homes the mortgage crisis whatever you want to call it it's all just corruption it's just you know have big media teacher patrolling this whole political corruption or corruption like the economic travesty or whatever the fact is it's about grief it goes no further than that and people just kind of say enough is enough. well our correspondents in new york are keeping us across the ongoing protests in lower manhattan and you can follow what they see outside happens by following our traders twitter streams there at r.t.

underscore com and also our to underscore america in one our producer the c confidant tweets that protesters are concerned major political groups are trying to take over the camp and capitalize on the movement you can also watch our footage of what's happening in our tease you tube channel coming up right here in a few minutes. i mean thirty five percent of our well that's 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. was the voices of discontent growing louder on wall street r.t. tries to get to the bottom of what the movement actually fighting for. libyan interim government forces claim they've taken control of most of syria one of the last strongholds of the disposed the post i should say colonel gadhafi is after renewed assault on the town with heavy tank and rocket fire there's still have a resistance on the streets from those loyal to the ousted leader reports claiming

thousands of people have left many more children main media coverage more civilian casualties in an audio message supposedly from gadhafi himself it was a call for libyans to rise and resist the in term leaders about british base activists and journalists 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 is absolute civilians are clearly targets and i think. 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 resolute. in 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 into remain even. if the factional amongst the rebels continues to temper this of the relationship continues

to wasim and it's very clear that for the west the four minutes then went on the ground is people like jabril. so the battle is far from over. the clock's ticking for a decision on the palestine's bid for you had membership and president abbas is using it to rally whatever support he can and is currently lobbying international groups and for outs back home times already running out for palestinians who are being squeezed out of their own cities by jewish settlers as are t.v. reports in fifteen minutes from now. we hear it because our country alex that. the time is that this elin belongs to us . will if they are still going to be thinking the. girl chosen people will we must believe that god is

a real estate agent look at the statistics for you guys and this guy says as. a little girl in our bureau this is our research might run them. british banks have been dealt another body blow twelve have had their credit score cut by the moody's rating agency leading for including lloyds and are as we were downgraded after indications that the british government is now less inclined to bail them out again if they get into trouble well of course confidence in financials and those with large savings for being encouraged to move elsewhere place there is. the bank of england also sees more trouble on the horizon it's

seventy five billion pounds into britain's teetering economy and one leading british economist told r.t. that injecting more cash could cause harm we already have inflation of around about five percent in the united kingdom which compared to recent years is hardly putting more money into the economy risks actually increasing that inflation is supposed to be the bank of england's central 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 that you 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 all we do that every single bank is culpable because if they get into trouble look times by all the amount 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 and to fail without actually describing the wider economy and i think that these. banks 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 that if you crash in the time when the government would come to the right so it's a grim warning put in the sign while you as you would wish to have an almost a toy from your doctor about your state of health i think it is a welcome aboard. well it seems there are a few countries escaping public anger at the prospect of more pain to pay for national debts let's return to new york now to find out whether the occupy wall street campaigners think they'll win their fight against bankers power. 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 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 all of the most important issues right now and we're going to. repeat that spain where we have people for life. and one of the he's it really is all of us 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 we're 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 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 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 movement 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 make it so people can identify me like no other people are feeling

this way as well so i mean it and the sense of a rallying 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 methods and the bottom line is these people are getting the word out. well it's not only america where there's this shaking out the financial fallout thousands of students marched through capitol protesting against education costs through pain and flares at banks sometimes the railway lines but were eventually dispersed by police demonstrators say the events mark the new wave of what's been called autumn which last year saw several thousand people lost and police italy recently signed off forty five billion euros of cuts to tackle its debt. you know the world news a speeding bus on a car have collided in china leaving at least thirty five people dead and nine hundred injured most of the victims are thought to be college students returning

after national holidays many were thrown from the vehicles as it flipped over after the crash was one of three major road accidents in china which claimed fifty six lives on the last day of the long holiday. and hundreds of radical muslims have protests across pakistan against the death sentence being given to the killer of punjab governor one of the officials guards shot him dead earlier this year because of his remarks on pakistan last sunday walking the assassin's lawyer is appealing the sentence emphasizing that that penalties have rarely been carried out in pakistan in recent years. well pakistan's role in securing a coalition victory in afghanistan has been overlooked for years although today that's part the part it's played is getting more recognition that washington and islamabad rarely see eye to eye with political jousting pushing relations to a new low argues military analyst explores now 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 on to the twenty. by the ha going to 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 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 grand slam about brazenly ignored the diplomatic request from washington d.c.

with their middle finger a behind their back see if they 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 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. time now to delve deeper into the world's

biggest country and take more of russia close up. where in pens are around six hundred kilometers southeast of moscow it's a relatively small region but one that punches above its weight culturally marking stamped on the area with ground states that have inspired some of russia's greatest writers including. as they have explained some places which have writers passions in the past have a shaky future. a tale of two states that how many a modest country see that and. survives on farming and small scale manufacturing that happened to be the childhood home one of russia's most legendary figures. of

a child prodigy a fiery tempered soldier womanizer and finally a great romantic poet a novelist he died in a jewel at the age of twenty seven while little of his work was composed here there amount of is buried in the family morsel am. the government has recognised the historical significance of this place where it just so lucky for the past few years we have been allowed to flourish. now two hundred people look after the state as in the nineteenth century it has become the main employer for adjacent villages. the direct descendants of the serbs who worked here dress up as the ancestors for their job. some get to play the heiress across for the benefit of tourists as the numbers are growing there is no need for the state to turn a profit. while the eleventh of family home may be as good

a state as when the poet himself was living there other 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 crack and it was a self-sufficient cultural center for the benefit of the diamond prince alexander could walk in and soviet times it served as a warehouse and a home for dementia sufferers before falling into disrepair the need of the government nor any private investors will put in the millions of dollars needed to rebuild it. now where the so is there on the one hand you can turn all of these estates 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 cracking or have decided to fight there never trouble going from house to house to collect donations and relying entirely on volunteers

they have vowed to restore the state building by building starting with a cemetery chapel. 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 a bill that no one else will. fartsy the region. we're going to take a short break here in arts and i'll be back with a recap of our top stories stay with us.
