the war in afghanistan has now paused widely dubbed as a decade of failure by critics its human cost keeps on climbing more than two thousand seven hundred foreign troops have died during that financing a big and by the number of am going lives lost jason mark lab reports. another day in afghanistan so the 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 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 rude 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 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 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 his village in helmand province the board 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 a fair share of afghan bystanders mostly gunshot bomb blast victims in this follow up operation he and his team are reconstructing the boy's forehead with the titanium miche that were stores appearance i started what i. want i. think the difference i wish i was very likely.

in the recovery ward well he's part of the argument is that well he sure it was a u.s. marine well that is he's grateful for the first class treatment he has received which other words 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 chasing workload. for too. as the u.s. occupation of afghanistan and as its second decade american forces that facing growing resistance from a people sick of neverending war and american army reserve of talent colonel anthony shaffer says the u.s. is following in the footsteps of the soviet union and should have left the country long ago. in two thousand and three we actually achieved our major military objectives by two thousand and three what you've seen since then is just essential you are dealing with a culture we don't fully understand following the same failed path the soviets

followed in their occupation silly to actually try to secure the urban areas to basically modernize the culture and some hope that they would become a twenty first century society it's not our job to make the even the the lives of the afghan people better our job was to ensure the terrorist attacks cannot be mounted from there and that's what we did in zero three frankly everything since then has been a waste issue until we decide we're going to get serious this is really pakistan the afghan government knows that we know that and finally admitted within the last two weeks that the eye of the pakistani intelligence service has been helping the taliban but basically you have a pentagon which is committed to a failed course and they are not only doubling down on the tripling down on things that they know they cannot win it's time we believe if it were up to me i for president obama i would declare victory that we actually did back in zero three and zero four and let it go this is the deal you have to seek regional some of the solutions this is not an american issue this is truly a pakistan afghan india iran issue and frankly we should be work with those people

who live there to find a path forward. one hundred fifteen minutes we'll be bringing you more expert opinion on the afghan story with our military analyst who is in kabul giving he's the author of why america is struggling to contain the insurgency meanwhile in our web site we're asking what legacy you thing the ten year at that occupation has loved and the moment more than save the world the us nothing but bloodshed and bankruptcy just over a quarter of you believe that he has of occupation have turned afghanistan into the world's biggest heroin hub more than six thing the occupation it was a stepping stone to an invasion of pakistan while only three percent reckon the world a safer place because of the war so pleased. to have your say on the. target . still.

to bring peace to. the decade long war in afghanistan is stirring up more and more discontent in britain with the country's military contingent second only to the u.s. in the country the conflict has already brought many british families claiming the lives of almost four hundred members of the armed services and reflecting the unpopularity of the war in the u.k. activities have been joined by celebrities and politicians in a march in london calling for british troops to be brought home on a bet it was at the rally. this huge protest in the center in the center of london has shown the landstuhl sentiment in the public imagination here in britain is in the forefront people very angry pay their way there in the first place obviously would be at a time of deep cuts people sturgeon has risen through it all this money. being

pumped into a seemingly unwinnable war and the life hundred million is a major development n.g.o.s are saying is no reaching it's the right people is not going to go to really having much of an effect on the sound crews that are being killed in. a us university brown university with a thirty thousand other people having to go in in this case. civilians insurgents to. jeremy call with an m.p. with the labor force he joins me now jeremy thanks very much for speaking. to you one of the few enemies in all those years we thank holodeck as they go to vote against military action are generally on ourselves a shame to do that last eight months a lot of my colleagues are going to regret they didn't join me in very good so we're not going to start fixing this house is it was all the loss of british soldiers thousands of americans and tens of thousands. and the corruption in afghanistan and the whole regime and of the country there are many who just feel

they did in wrong think 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 the stuff they always thought of a moderate 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 it 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. people on the streets of london have been demanding an end not only to the ongoing conflict but also to nato presence in libya and among the high profile faces of the protest was leaks founder julian assange who told r.t. they lead an intervention was simply the u.s. and europe taking over the country. the lesson for me being is that there are only

two superpowers in the world worth speaking why one goes all the united states and europe. together to take over the country regional justification for a no fly zone over libya has been completely abused it shows that there is no effective. night in nations it's going to be a listen to us every time a small mandate is given. military and intelligence powers. it is a slippery slope leads to the takeover of countries or hundreds. meanwhile the need to have revolutionary forces have launched one of the biggest assault. his hometown of sirte they have already seized a major highway that opens the way to attacking a key base of the colonel's loyalists the interim government claims to control most

of the city now but is still facing resistance from fight as a lot of the ousted leader be busy interim administration say says form is crucial to formally declaring liberation elections but the german from the start of the war coalition by shouting said for that reason nato demonstrates a very selective approach to protecting civilians. the whole idea of the bombing was that it was meant to protect the civilians and bang goes thank god how why does why does anybody inside up to the idea that you have main killing civilians in the lover sitting in the amounts exactly what's happening so many times very selective about what civilians it supports it doesn't support those civilians who markopolos it really it's a claim does the simple reality want to and of course we know you want this war was a proud it was what regime change i wanted to get rid of gadhafi if i could just to stop this helping civilians in libya so they would if not. i don't care about.

so little because terrible killings and so on are until really this is a response on the sense of me doing now run. on divans in the middle east has become an inspiration overseas and in the us the occupy wall street campaign it's a they using arab spring revolutionary tactic to achieve their goals corporate protests in new york down to the fourth week and have already spread to dozens of cities hating because whole washington d.c. organizers claim they'll be in a thousand american citizen by the end of the month according to a post on their website as the movement picks up steam they slogan occupy wall street has been changed to occupy together protesters say the greed of just one percent of the u.s. population drove the country into financial chaos in the first place while some of those camping out in manhattan of odd again the group is highly organized that's all changed and the physics are going to discover it. 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 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 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 confort area supply sweaters mboya 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 in terms of you're 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 need breakfast food grade cereal we have lunch around but 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 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 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 it's day twenty one of occupy wall street zero chance of rain the

number of arrests to date at over eight hundred thirty four. a library area let's protesters relax and educate themselves with literature fitting most tastes fiction nonfiction magazines that section we got see the. 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 happen 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 is the party new york. and our resident reporting the city nor hoffman is has been asking wall street campaign is all striving them and how they believe they can change the world and

still the role of the rich. i'm here at occupy wall street this week let's talk about pat i think will 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 adds 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 where we have people for life other cultures got. there one of the he's it really is all of us are doing. i mean thirty five percent

of our wealth 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 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 but 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 you 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 because if people can identify me like no other people are feeling this way as well so i mean it in the sense of a rallying 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 methods and the bottom line is these people are getting the word out. and also you can head to our twitter feed to get more on the on going to call for projects around the u.s. and our correspondents in america across the latest on child they see all she's loosely coupled up and one of her tweets says zuccotti park in new york has now popped with protesters as almost two thousand demonstrators have gathered there so for us on twitter at home to get all the updates on the story. let's return to our main story the tenth anniversary of the are going to be marks

this weekend washington is trying to mend ties with one of its main allies in the war pakistan relations have been recently hit by mutual accusations and political differences on his military. 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 that three weeks ago was under the twenty hour see by the ha going to network let's take a closer look at what went wrong and we have big global war in terror first after al qaeda central radio ploy to the pashtun tribal belt along the afghan pakistani border the state department filed a request with the pakistan for cooperation against osama bin laden grand slam about brazenly ignored the diplomatic request from washington d.c.
