tell me a story the u.s. led war in afghanistan has now passed the ten year mark widely dubbed as a decade of failure by critics its human cost keeps on climbing while the two thousand seven hundred foreign troops have died during the fighting a figure dwarfed of by the number of afghan lives lost jason whitlock rippled. another day in afghanistan so the battle for the 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 thanks to improved medical capabilities casualties who would have perished in previous conflicts are surviving but these two soldiers one patrol in a vehicle one road side bomb exploded beneath him 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 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 teams are flown to germany for treatment all right you guys

can go and this is 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 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 got into 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 miller park says he's treated more than the fair share of afghan bystanders mostly gun show the bomb blast victims in this follow up operation he and his team are reconstructing the boy's forehead with the titanium miche that were stored his appearance i started work i. got one arm i also gratifying to make a difference i wish i did very well. you.

know it's. an issue. in the recovery ward well he's called the outcome of the world he sure it was a us marine corps that is his group and for the first class treatment of his regime which i. am just happy that he's ok the shooting was a mistake so it is forgiven accident 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 to us and workload afghanistan for our two. after ten years of international efforts the situation of again it's time is worse now than when it all began that's the view of the dollar and play it wasn't chaplain in north carolina city. it is really horrible and depressing. it is it was a look in full to witness the bleeding wound of time society as a result of one war and destruction as did another and it is it is really

unfortunate after all these efforts all this money and all these struggles hollywood a little international community a lot of government has achieved afghanistan today after ten years of us being there i think in many ways it is worse off not better off. the u.s. plans to withdraw combat troops by the end of twenty fourteen but director will be asked and he will coalition brian becker says that washington has no intention of leaving afghanistan and use its presence that to influence the karzai government. if the u.s. military were to leave afghanistan all together or if it were to leave iraq all together those governments would become independent determining governments free of foreign interference or foreign occupation that's what would happen they would form their own natural alliances with their neighbors the united states does not want that this is the great prize this is a geo strategically and resource rich part of the world united states is there for the long term and i think that's the real goal is to put firmly afghanistan and the

surrounding countries into an american spear of influence i think the karzai government really is an extension of american power which has a masquerade the fiction of a nato cover but really it's an american power cards i of course probably cannot survive without outside support after all the outsiders the occupiers put him into power i don't think he has any real legitimacy or credibility for his people. in fifteen minutes we'll be bringing you more expert opinion on the on going story with our military analyst who is in kabul giving his view on why america is struggling to contain the insurgency meanwhile on our website where asking what legacy you thing the ten year afghan occupation has left and at the moment more than hollow say the war has brought the us nothing but bloodshed and bankruptcy just over a quarter of you believe that years of occupation have turned afghanistan into the world's biggest heroin hub and that six think of the occupation it was

a stepping stone to an invasion of pakistan only three percent reckon the world is a safer place because of the war so please log on to r.t. dot com to have your say on the. american. target. store. to see if you were. to bring peace to. you don't leave after. a decade long war in afghanistan is tearing up more and more discontent in britain with the country's military contingent is second only to the us and the country the conflict has already brought sorrow to many british families claiming the lives of almost four hundred members of the armed services reflecting the unpopularity of the war in the u.k.

accidents have been joined by celebrities and politicians on the march in london calling for british troops to be brought home bennett was at the rally. this huge protest in the center in the center of london has magical 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 the mustard has risen through all this money eighteen billion being pumped into a seemingly unwinnable war and the life hundred million as a nation in development the ngos are saying well no it's no reaching it's the right people is it all going is it all going to really having much of an effect on to let you know thousand troops that are being killed in. a us university brown university the thirty thousand other people i mean you know in the in this. civilians insurgents the foreign aid workers who will talk more about this is john hillery from the charity war on want to like is very much first being seventy. that he was

on the human rights situation going on in afghanistan where he says better or worse than it was ten years ago but i think in the last five years in particular we've seen a terrible problem in human rights just as the war is escalating it's failed to bring any extra stability to you see many more children being to drive to their rights and many more people being killed and creating an escalation of violence in pakistan as well as in afghanistan because there's another thousand people who've died in russia as well so it's not getting better in any way it's hearing much much good when you present council has also come forward and address the fact there is rampant eruption in afghanistan in the process of getting hate to the people who really need it but he's blaming it on the international community she really said when they just fear that russia will go with that training and others oversee incirlik corruption within the whole of the afghan government and the key thing here is about getting the foreign troops out the people in afghanistan he found in britain on the window here seventy four percent of all people want our troops out

and that's what we're saying to the government gela trim sunland you can start dealing with all of the problems in afghanistan. people in the streets of london have been demanding and not only to the obgyn conflict but also to nato presence in libya and among the high profile faces at the protest was a weekly leaks founder julian assange told r.t. believe an intervention was simply the u.s. and europe taking over the country the lesson for libya is that there are only two superpowers to speak why one of the united states and europe. together to take over the country regional justification for no fly zone over libya has been completely abused it shows that there is no effective. night in nations is . be a lesson to us every time that a small mandate is given. military and intelligence powers. it is

a slippery slope leads to the takeover of countries. yemen has also been the scene of civil unrest this year with the president announcing that he's to resign in the coming days ali abdullah saleh who's ruled the country for thirty three years declared his decision on saturday prompting some of some to believe that nine months of violent protest might have finally borne fruit but according to . president of the arab lawyers association assurance that he will step down is nothing but an empty promise. you must have made a hundred and. speeches and in every single one of them he said he is going to leave and every single one of them he promised that he doesn't want to run as a president and every single one he finished he stayed in power this is absolutely no different from anything before i think no one believes what he is saying he has

. done it on his life when he went to saudi arabia as an exhibit policy was the americans have organized with the gulf states so that he stays away and then somehow he can leave but now that. it is very clear that they intend to keep him and it will take probably it's going to be. similar to the one we have in yemen where americans will continue to. and people and continue to be killed and indeed the figures in yemen i mean creasing i think me and i think i've 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 there behind the crown he's going to put one of his. or one of the generals that he has been working with. events of the middle east have become one with her ration overseas and in the us the occupy wall street can paint as say they using

arab spring revolutionary tactic to achieve their goals and to corporate protests in new york and to the fall for week that have already spread to dozens of cities hitting the capital washington d.c. organizers claim they'll be in a thousand american cities by the end of the month according to a post on that website as the movement picks up steam the slogan occupy wall street has been changed to occupy together protest to say the greed of just the one percent of the u.s. population drove the country into financial chaos in the first place while some accused camping out in lower manhattan of the group is highly organized as well to even the citric and discovered. these are everywhere these are the people you know . accused of being anarchist and disorganized the occupy wall street encounter meant it's 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 board gets 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 charge into our buzzer beater from richmond virginia. the 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 work for spirits bread cereal so we have lunch around but we would we have snacks going to the community really throughout the day your dinner at seven thirty i mean. the 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 in facebook when i was 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 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 there 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 that section we got c.d.'s we had. 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 mr sutured party new york and our resident reporting the city nor hoffman it has been asking people straight campaign is what's driving them and how they believe they can change the world and still the role of the rich. i'm here at. this week let's talk about bet i think 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 at the center of the of all of the most important issues right now that we're going to. be the spain we have people for life i just been one of the he's a values 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 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 but 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 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. 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 i think there's a large amount of discontent with what's going on in this country and i think that this is so people can identify me like no other people are feeling this way as well so i mean this is overall the point i think that this is this is going to draw

attention it's also going to draw people whether or not you agree with their methods the bottom line is these people are getting the word out. and you can head to our twitter feed to get more on the ongoing anti corporate protests around the u.s. and our correspondents across the lakes and share what they see a couple of those one in one of her tweets that says washington d.c. and space museum have been closed after angry protesters try to enter with playing cards and follow us on twitter at home to get all the updates on this particular story. and let's return to our top story now. marks this weekend washington is trying to mend ties with one of its main allies in the war pakistan relations have recently been hit by mutual accusations and political differences military beginning reports now from afghanistan. this is the

commanding height that dominates this sweeping view was the area of kabul the afghan capital. right behind me of the reason bad three weeks ago was under the twenty hour seeds by the ha going to network let's take a closer look at what went wrong so 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 the middle finger a 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 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 the w. bush administration to look at all other options and for starters to make sure that pakistan real be treated as a reliable ally not after before the nine eleven struck the united states. and that was archie's military analyst with his assessment for afghanistan. news and breve this saturday night abbas has all the time and crashed into a cliff and was job they named an easy killing fool for interest in the injuring eleven the bus was carrying visitors from the netherlands belgium many india as the brakes failed when it was going downhill it comes just a month after a similar crash on the island killed nineteen people. six people

time for this month's russia closer. and this time the pair's a region is the destination just a bit more than six hundred kilometers away from moscow to the southeast the area lying between the russian capital and they might evolve. its ground state how inspired some of russia's most prominent writers including the hell led them to him but as a girl never explains some of the region's science which have aroused the passions of russia's matter of letters in the past a place and set. a tale of two states not a family a modest country see that and sorry star and survived on farming and small scale manufacturing it happened to be the childhood home one of russia's most legendary

figures mikhail their mentor 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 letterman is buried in the family more psyllium no two hundred people look after the estate as in the nineteenth century but a family has become the main employer for jason's villages. direct descendants of the serbs who worked dress up as ounces for the job. some get to play the heiress across for the benefit of tourists. the numbers are growing there's no need for the state to turn a profit. while the level of the family and as good a state as one the poet himself was living here there are 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 whether to stay 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 that you know you have the villages of could 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 but. we're not professional restorers we've got little money for
