voting out through the violence pakistanis are choosing a new parliamentary and what has already been called the bloodiest election campaign in the country's history. the same name but different tactics of president putin and british prime minister cameron discuss the approaches to peace in syria as they paved the way for an international conference on the conflict. and . u.s. military forces in your robot put on alert after some western diplomats are pulled out of libya over the latest good of poe's revolution unrest. and urging the spacewalk is planned late on saturday to fix the melbournians legal spotted yesterday by the crew all the international space station.

and stand am here in the russian capital you watching on t.v. live it's good to have you company with us this morning. the people of pakistan are voting a crucial point turning point in the country's young democracy but it has already made history for the president of violence during the election campaign as the caffein off reports turbulent dramatic and unpredictable that is how many here have described pakistan's general election campaign in a country that has spent most of its sixty six years under military rule is seen as a milestone with thirty five million new voters more female candidates more polling stations and more observers than ever before but also more violence now pakistan's military has dispatched thousands of troops to polling stations in order to prevent militants from disrupting the vote for the pakistani taliban has threatened to

carry out widespread attacks today including suicide bombings saying that it quote opposes the infidel system of democracy here already more than one hundred people have been killed in attacks by the taliban and other groups in the past four weeks to add to the anxiety unidentified gunmen had kidnapped the son of a former prime minister use of golani on thursday his whereabouts are still on known now despite the violence this vote will mark the first democratic transfer of power in pakistan that hasn't been preempted by a military coup of the candidates the pakistani people's party is campaigning to win a second term although its record is questionable the government is still plagued by a growing extremism sectarian violence and demick corruption as well as a broken economy now the main opposition comes from the party of former prime minister nawaz sharif who looks set to win the most number of seats this could mean a return to power fourteen years after he was ousted in a military coup he is advocating free market reform and economic growth as

a way to sort of tackle pakistan's political problems he's also said that pakistan should reconsider its support for the u.s. war on terror and has suggested that negotiations with the taliban should has to take place on his heels of course as imraan khan the prettier turned politician and his part. he had boycotted the last election but he's made significant gains especially among the youth voters he is calling for an end to corruption and to drone strikes as well as an end to a reliance on western aid of course he was injured earlier this week and there are some thought that perhaps those injuries could boost support for him but the optimism in pakistan has been clouded by worries that none of the major parties will get a clear leader which raises the prospect of a fragmented parliament and could lead to weeks of fighting in order to form a coalition government and of course the bigger question still remains will any of the candidates or party be able to tackle pakistan's witch's brew of problems the economy has crashed unemployment is soaring fuel is in short supply while there's

an excess of violence whoever of the wins this election will certainly have a hard time ahead. putting an end to u.s. showing strength was a major slogan on the election campaign trail the recently declared illegal by pakistan's high court and to war activists eugene believes a frustration with america's join policy is rich in a tipping point i think it's a message that certainly will be considered across the atlantic it's a sign of the growing opposition inside of pakistan and to a lesser degree in yemen and in fact even inside of the united states against the u.s. drone policy and certainly to have such a high court say that the u.s. drone strikes should end immediately just continues to add fuel to the fire that is raging around the world about this secretive illegal and criminal campaign being waged by the united states government now obviously they have no intention of stopping their drone campaign but certainly i think this has to be. an item of interest for them. we want to know your verdict on the targeted killings by on men

to usa kroft in pakistan so far the absolute majority says that seventy nine percent of that these are war crimes as well the rest nine percent believe the attacks were on men to produce mixed results but it's the cheapest way for the pakistani authorities to kill militants like a few of us seven percent they believe that there is no other option to fight extremism in remote areas and the remainders say the strikes are fundamentally justified but need to be more precise argy dot com is where you can have your say. today violence is once a game played out. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. during operation through the day.

in neighboring afghanistan the nato pullout in twenty fourteen won't be the end of the story for america's military presence phyllis bennis who's a middle east and the u.n. issues activist believes that keeping a foothold in the volatile state is a crucial for washington. we know that the agreement signed between the u.s. and afghanistan allows for some number of u.s. troops to remain after the end of two thousand and fourteen the numbers have varied there's been estimates of as low as eight thousand and as many as twenty two thousand that the obama administration would like to keep in afghanistan after the the withdrawal of so-called combat troops this has everything to do with the neighborhood where afghanistan is located afghanistan doesn't have on its own but it has a large territory in the midst of a very crucial neighborhood in terms of oil and in terms of the expansion of power

the u.s. wanted for example to keep permanent bases in iraq that it could use as a base from which it could attack iran the iraqis said no the afghans will be asked the same thing will they allow those bases even if it's only nine of them to be used potentially to attack other countries in the neighborhood that's one of the things the u.s. is very eager for on a permanent basis it's not so much about the immediacy of the taliban everyone knows that the presence of u.s. troops in afghanistan is making it much more difficult not easier for there to be serious peace negotiations between the various factions in afghanistan whether it be the taliban whether it be the afghan government whether it be a host of other factions that are all competing for power. russia and the u.k. have agreed to renew limited corporation between the security services after seventy a large part of the main focus of talks meeting president putin and prime minister david cameron in the russian resort of sochi was the escalating crisis in syria

while the two leaders stress of these still still differ on how to bring about peace they did cement agreement on common goals for moscow and wondering with the end unified syrian people to choose a new government while being free from violent extremism an international conference on syria is expected later this month there was no mention in the source of britain's or stronger support for the rebels or its intentions to start directly arming them political writer john white says the west is desperate to push its own interests in the conflict. you know see the syrian national army enjoying some significant success in the last few weeks in thinking back. years of the country and i think this is deduced. actually in washington and london which is why do the comedy in smoking to fly to russia to be one of the conflict is not who we were hoping to destroy the assad regime we think of the axis of resistance in the region

comprising city of hezbollah and iran and it's selling not working and not only because politically of russia's political opposition to western military intervention but let's be clear the west is already intervening. through. the quit talking to jordan funneling weapons funneling money into the rebels but even so the city national army is mounted in control of significant parts of the country and managing to enjoy some success here on the ground there's no doubt that despite the propaganda campaign the ways that get this out if you still enjoys significant support within syria itself and that is key. the u.s. has put its military forces in europe on the alert the escalating tensions in libya washington and the u.k. have already pulled some of the diplomatic stuff from the country during an outbreak of violence the latest wave of one dress was sparked by
