it's been widely dubbed the decade of failure with nato troops no closer to victory over the taliban the human cost though keeps on rising both among the soldiers and the afghan civilians who demand the end to the endless war the violence it brings on the jason reports. another day on afghanistan so the battle 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 medevac 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 i mean we will most likely stay on base until they've recovered more severe cases such as if you tease or flown to germany for treatment right you get. 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 crossfire with nowhere else to go for help nine year old wiley was shot in the head by a stray bullet earlier this year when u.s. marines got into a firefight with the taliban in this 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 miller park says he was treated more than a fair share of afghan bystanders mostly gun showed a 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 i started i . was i was surprised i different i wish i was very likely. issue.

in the recovery ward well the squad they are with says that while he's sure it was a u.s. marine well that bit his son is grateful for the first class treatment he has recently which i know what 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 that grinds on tears and workload and killed or kynaston for two. afghan drug production increased dramatically since the foreign intervention began in the country remains the world's largest source of opium for my chief of staff to the u.s. secretary of state says american forces are turning a blind eye to the problem because they fear more resistance. who benefits from this is a bigger fish 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 any 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 identify as taliban they don't want to add to their enemies list all the people who are raising drugs in afghanistan and making a profit from their. just like you know in about fifty minutes time to bring you an expert opinion on that top story artie's military analysts is in afghanistan for us he's asking why america's struggling to contain the insurgency despite its huge military superiority and also on our website we're asking what legacy you think the ten year afghan of the patients left for this is what you're telling us tonight about half of you they're saying you think the war has brought the us nothing but bloodshed and bankruptcy fifty two percent said of you think those years of just

turn afghanistan into the world's biggest heroin hub just under a fifth of you think the occupations cleared the way for the american invasion of pakistan a mere three percent of you that have voted at least say the world is a safer place because of that ten year war log on to our team dot com still plenty a chance for you to have your say. do it american. target. should feel the food you were supposed. to be sure to bring peace and stability to the world. but use it as it only after. well anger about the afghan wars mounting in the u.k. which has the second largest number of troops deployed in the country hundreds of british soldiers have been killed since the conflict began and the war activists celebrities and politicians have gathered in london protesting over

a decade of war of bennett reports from the capital. this huge protest in the center in the center of london has shown the sentiment in the public imagination here in britain is definitely in the forefront people are very angry hey that we're there in the first place obviously would be at a time of deep cuts people sterling has risen through all this money and eighty million are being pumped into a seemingly unwinnable war in another life hundred million is a major development the ngos are saying well no it's no reaching it's the right people is it going is it all going to be really having much of an effect on the sound some truths that are being killed in. a us university brown university with her g thousand other people i mean you know in this in this case. civilians insurgents. jeremy corbin an m.p. the latest policy he joins me now jeremy thanks very much for speaking. to you one of the few enemies in all those years we. go to vote against military action in

afghanistan ourselves a shame to do that last a. lot of my colleagues in regret they didn't join me in voting against the war in afghanistan but i've seen the results of the words war the loss of british soldiers thousands of americans and the size. and the corruption in afghanistan and the whole country there are many who just feel they did the wrong thing ten years ago. when as you say the rampant corruption millions in. this campaign is extreme poverty and you're saying there's an age crisis now can this in any way a victory in this stuff you know it's not a victory so whenever i've raised this question of how would they define victory in afghanistan they say what it would be no always drawling an orderly way by the west to accept they can control or not mr they be exempted they can win this war. it's just a matter of time before they're all withdrawn and there has to be

a development of a political process in afghanistan which has actually been suppressed. by the western intervention. jeremy colvin they're talking about he's i've a bennett london bureaus keep me updated on the protests you can follow the latest on our twitter feed on the school com recent tweet says the stop the war coalition rally ends with a march to downing street led by a one hundred six year old only war campaigner had to keep up with the latest on twitter from us don't forget you can also catch latest footage as well our cameras are there taking the shots of those protests that are. people rallied in a central london today demanded an end not only to the afghan war but also to the ongoing intervention in libya to spoke to one of the high profile speakers they wiki leaks founder julian assange about the military interventions and the libyan conflict in particular. the lesson for libya is that there are only two

superpowers in the world worth speaking why one of those are the united states and europe. have gotten together to take over the country the regional justification for a no fly zone over libya has been completely abused it shows that there is no effective. as far as you know i don't nations it should be a lesson to us every toy that small mandate is given. military and intelligence but . it is a slippery slope that leads to the takeover of countries or understand. in libya revolutionary forces have launched one of the biggest assaults yet on mortgage after his hometown of sirte they've already seized a major highway that opens the way now to attacking a key base of the colonel's loyalists the interim government claims to control most of the city now but it's still facing fierce resistance from fighters loyal to the hosted leader libya's interim administration say certs full is crucial to formally

declaring liberation and show julie elections but lindsey german from the stop the war coalition told us that by shelling search for bad reason nato demonstrates a very selective approach to protecting civilians. but the whole idea of the bombing was that it was meant to protect the civilians in bank goes i think you know why does he was anybody inside up to the idea that you have main killing civilians in another city or town in there and that's exactly what's happening so many times very selective about what civilians it supports it doesn't support those civilians who markopolos it really does support alimony and of course we know you want this war and i was surprised out it was one out regime change that wants to get rid of gadhafi if they could dress this up as helping civilians in libya so they would if not they. they don't care about. what's actually happening so there

will be terrible killings and so i'm sure. really this is a response want to see if we do now run the. street address him to cover all parts of the globe these days in the u.s. the occupy wall street movement spread to dozens of american cities including the capital washington d.c. that's anti corporate protests in new york into the fourth week the city's mayor recently lashed out at demonstrators saying their actions are hurting the economy the protesters though insists it's the greed of just one percent of the u.s. population that drove the country into financial chaos in the first place and despite being branded resigning many of those companies out of the well organized base say they've got a clear. as a tease of us to see. these are entering these are the people 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 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 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 if you're from richmond virginia. the kitchen providing a traditional american breakfast bread bagels and peanut butter and jelly plant groups are used to filter water here we have breakfast at seven thirty in the morning people don't breakfast foods bread cereals so we have lunch. we have snacks containing continually 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 filmed

during 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 on facebook when are 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 and the viewership really goes up as you keep a steady content you know provision information is also spread in more traditional ways. this status report helps protesters keep up to date with the occupation developments it's 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 protestors relax and educate themselves with literature fitting most tastes fiction nonfiction magazines we got a good section we got c.d.'s we had to do is

a guy job documentary 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 with the situation a party new york. who got more reaction from the streets of new york at this week's edition of a resident to go half of a saucepan to wall street campaign is a very think they'll win their fight against corporate power. i'm here at occupy wall street 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 that was 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 where he just the united states or is it a global issue it's a global issue but the united states says at the center of of all of the most important issues right now that we're going to hear from spain to put money on that piece of spain here we have people for life i just saw in one of the he's at rallies they say all of you guys are doing. for i mean thirty five percent of i well they found 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 now it's bad leaders were 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 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 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 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 makes it so people can identify me like no other people are feeling this way as well so i mean it and this into of a rallying point i think that this is this is going to draw attention to draw
