it's. critical to create troops safe. where people are forced to. watch a close up on the party. politics and neither war dragging on for a decade if the u.s. led invasion of afghanistan passes the ten year mark of the taliban defeat nowhere in sight and human cost is rising faster than ever. meanwhile in the u.k. enough is enough say protesters calling for a speedy troop withdrawal i gather in london to mark the afghan wars tenth anniversary. and then to corporate sentiment spreads fast across the u.s. the occupy wall street movement is criticized for lacking organization but says it's far from chaotic and is in for the long haul.

welcome this is our team from moscow it's eleven pm saturday evening here my name is kevin i don't know top story for you the u.s. led war in afghanistan is now past the ten year mark it's been widely dubbed the decade of failure to with nato troops no closer to victory over the taliban and human cost though keeps rising both among the soldiers and the afghan civilians and demanded an end to the aimless war and the violence he brings down on them jason not lag for r.t. reports. another day in afghanistan so the battle more casualties despite official claims that the war's 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 one rude side bomb exploded beneath him it took less than half an hour

for mitt have a crew to pick him up by helicopter and deliver them to the trauma ward of kandahar airfield one of the country's busiest 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 it continues or flown to germany for treatment right yes. this was still it was built to save critically injured american troops fresh from the front lines but doctors here also treat afghan civilians caught in the crossfire i have 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 board shattered part of his school and would have killed him if not for emergency surgery and six months dr main part 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 work i have. one arm i also gratified i can get rid of this i very likely course guards i shall be in the recovery ward well his father says that while he's sure it was a u.s. marine will admit his son he's grateful for the first question his recent which had a what i'm just happy that he's ok this shooting. mistake so it is forgiven accident or not the enduring insurgency suggests that low amount of good will can compensate for civilian casualties that continue to climb each month in a world aground on to some workload engine or canister for r.t. . this is the afghan drug production increased dramatically since the foreign intervention began in the country indeed remains the world's largest source of

opium the former chief of staff to the u.s. secretary of state says american forces it's turning a blind eye to the problem because they fear 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 nati the 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 that enemies list all the people who are raising drugs in afghanistan and making a profit from their. fall in this big story you might be interested to know in court of owls time we've got expert opinion for you two on it seems military analyst is in afghanistan he's asking why america is struggling could think to

contain the insurgency despite huge military superiority it has it's a good question we transform the answers for you shortly also on our website we're asking what you think about it what you think the legacy of this ten year afghan occupation has left this is what it's telling us just over half of the again this out of say the was brought to us nothing but bloodshed of bankruptcy a third of you are telling us though she has just said afghanistan is the world's biggest heroin have just under a fifth if you believe the occupations cleared the way for american invasion of pakistan and just three percent of you voted this again say the world's a safer place because of that ten year long war log on to r.t. dot com still very much a chance does google say that. to a touch of america. it's hard. to. feel the feelings you whisper. of the mission to bring peace and stability to the world. but you. don't leave after.

anger about the afghan was mounting in the u.k. too which is 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 of other protest in london calling for the end of the decade long war is over when it's been monitoring events there in the capital. it's huge protests in the sense in the center of london as well in the magical sense and in the public imagination here in britain is that when the full front people very angry pay their way there in the first place obviously the fear eternity cuts the posters who has risen through all this money in n.z. really being pumped into a seemingly unwinnable war and will live hundred million as a nation in development the ngos are saying is no reaching is the right people is the only thing you see you know you really have a caution effect in the consulate you know thousand troops that are being killed in

. a u.s. universities around you to see her g. thousand other people i mean you go in this think a. civilian surgeon and i want to talk more about this is on hearing from him oh it's a charity war on want to like is very much first. place he was on the human rights situation during all in afghanistan when he says makes it worse than it was a nice ago but think of the last five years in particular we've seen a terrible problem in human rights which is the poorest escalates here it's failed to bring any extra stability to you've seen many more children being contrived to their rights in a more being killed and creating an escalation of violence in pakistan as well as in afghanistan because there's nothing lurching from people who tied him up shot as well so it's not getting that in any way is hearing naturally my new president was also comes address the fact there is ramekins eruption in afghanistan and in the

process of getting to the people are really needed but he's blaming it on the international community she really said when nations hear that russia will go it's a training camp well there's obviously instill a corruption within the whole of the afghan government and the key thing here is about getting the foreign troops out the people realize non-demanding britain we know here seventy four percent of all people one out cruising around and that's what we're saying to the government gallifrey m'sarny and you can start dealing with all of the problems. that was the. thoughts there of john hillery from the poverty charity war on want talking to outings of a benefit played earlier and london bureau is there of course to keep you updated on the anti afghan war protest you can follow the latest on our twitter theme underscore com one of the recent tweets quotes an activist who said larry enjoy your a bunny while you can there's not enough water to wash the blood of your hands. for that for us of course throughout the night you can also catch up with this footage just how much the rolling there of those protests in the future.

the people who rallied in the center of london today to mount an end not only to the afghan war but also to the ongoing intervention in libya to r.t. spoke to one of the high profile speakers they wiki leaks founder julian assange about the military interventions and also about the libyan conflict in particular. the lesson for me because it is the. only superpower in the world speaking why won't the united states and these two super. powers to take over a country regional just the nation it is no choice. it's being completely you think it shows that there is no. rule of. law i don't. listen to what every toy that date is given. military or intelligence but. it is a slippery slope that leads to the takeover of countries all understand. another

country that suffered months of civil unrest is yemen and its president announced on saturday that he's a step down in the coming days it follows nine months of violent protests with the opposition demanding an end to ali abdullah saleh thirty three year rule but several more president of the arab lawyers association told me he believes a lazy assurance that he will step down is nothing but an empty promise. he must have made a hundred. teachers and in every single one of them he said he's going to leave power and every single one of them he promised that he doesn't want to run as a president and every single one after he finished he stayed in power this is absolutely no different from anything before i think no one believes what he is saying he had the. time to end his life when he went to saudi arabia as an exhibit policy makers have organized with the gulf states so that he stays away and then

somehow he can leave but now that they're out of him to go it is very clear that they intend to keep him and it will probably it's going to be. similar to the one we have in yemen where the americans will continue to. and people will continue to be killed and indeed the figures in yemen increasing dramatically and i think. who's been around for all this time he's not. even if he's forced to then it's going to be he's going to be the man behind the crown he's going to put one of his . or one of the generals that he has been working with. to the middle east much of europe and now the usa as well street protests could be seen as a running theme in world affairs these days york by wall street movement spread to dozens of american cities including the capital washington d.c. buses and the corporate protests in new york and to their fourth week the city's

mayor has recently lashed out at demonstrators saying their actions are hurting the economy the protesters whoever insists it's the greed of just one percent of the u.s. population has driven the country into this financial chaos and finds itself in now and despite being branded as an excuse by many of those camping out in lower manhattan a well organized it appears and they say that they've got a clear agenda as artie's and assisted trucking found out for. these are. 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 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 but at the same. every part seems to be and owned by someone

a medical area staffed by volunteers provides our mistype assistance a conference area supplies sweaters and blankets to keep demonstrators warm as the season gets chilly or while the door needed sleeping bags pile up as the number of protesters grows bigger we just took the child into our most secure from richmond virginia. kitchen providing a traditional american breakfast bread bagels and peanut butter and jelly plant roots are used to filter water here we have breakfast at seven thirty in the morning people don't eat breakfast foods grade cereals we have lunch. we have snacks continually 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 and videos film during clashes with police are posted online from these laptops to get people coming in running in here i mean 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 to. 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 but 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 keep the population developments is the 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 lets protesters relax and educate themselves with literature reading most tastes fiction nonfiction magazines without a kid section we got c.d.'s d.v.d.'s ago drug documentaries occupy wall street prides itself in being a peaceful grassroots democratic movement without leaders there are just different decisions made by different groups is that if there is to be some decision that's

going to supposedly speak on bart on behalf of everyone here now we need to happen at 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 mr suture. new york. and we've got more reaction from the streets of new york in this week's edition of the resident. wall street campaigners if they think they'll win the fight against corporate power. i'm here at occupy wall street this week let's talk about that i think what we're really protesting is you know the failure of this ins or 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 there is the real bad guys you know who make over five 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 it's at the center of the of all of the most important issues right now that we're going to hear from spain once repeat of spain where we have people from other causes i just want to he's it really is all of those are doing. i mean thirty five words that i 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 fag you think that's going to happen through movements like this you know now it's bad we're out here trying during the sixty's there were riots in newark and l.a. because of poverty inequality racism is said by me 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 even though it's going to happen. i have to believe so 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 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 mixed so people can identify me like oh other people are feeling this way as well so i mean it in a sense of a rallying point i think that this is this is going to draw attention to draw people in whether or not you agree with their math then the bottom line is if people are getting the way it.

gets more thought socially on our top story the tenth anniversary of the afghan war being marched across this weekend washington to try to mend ties with one of its main allies in the war on relations recently been hit by mutual accusations and political differences well as his military analysts including khrushchev's reports from afghanistan. this is the commanding height that dominates this sweeping view of. an area of kabul the afghan capital. right behind me of the reason there three weeks ago was under the twenty hour recedes by the heart any network let's take a closer look at what went wrong with the global war on terror first after al qaeda central redeployed to the pashtun tribal belt along the afghan pakistani border the state department filed a request to pakistan for cooperation against osama bin laden when islam about

brazenly ignored the diplomatic request from washington d.c. with a 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 clone dance time body snatching mission and to bring some of the london to justice but they just blew it looking back at operation enduring freedom the question is not what went wrong we have this mission question is what's preventing the w. bush administration to look at all other options and for starters to make sure that pakistan will be treated as a reliable ally not bad but before the nine eleven did strike the united states. there's. certainly come from some of the possibilities military analyst of any who is charged with his assessment from

afghanistan tonight it's now coming up to twenty minutes past the eleven pm moscow time we take you through a couple of top world news stories in brief and certainly a bus has crashed into a cliff on into the z. is java island is killed forty injured a dozen others three dutch to restore among the dead there are investigations underway but early reports suggest paul road conditions no overcrowding on the bus with a significant cause in fact because it comes just a month after a similar crash on the island killed nineteen people. thousands of students marched through it in these capital protesting against education cuts they threw painted flares of banks and tried to block railway lines but they were eventually dispersed by the police demonstrators say the event marks a new wave of what's been called hot sauce of which last year saw several thousand people clash with police if they recently signed off forty five billion euros of cuts to try to tackle its massive debts. coming up next our quick look ahead so
