come back to another aspect of your a nuclear program little bit later the civilian side of it the bashir plant will get a lot of them in it but let's stay with maybe possible aggression before that you can ever consider it possible that the united states or israel could make a strike against you could launch military action against your country does it worry you. you know it is a dollar they have the they don't wish to do it they want to do it they don't know what they know about our power we don't like your posts they told us we are going to give them a very decisive response say i'm sorry to ask you again they said when you say a decisive response would you mean to just outline what you're talking about. a little wobbly million yes we'll give them a question response. job or who is and this is a. normal reaction for c.h. . we have a saying in our language translation subhashree well you could look at somebody like throws. throws stones a small a stone you have all react with a bigger stone that are only different we defend ourselves within our capabilities as a patient but i hope that

bridges were valid but if we were actually there would be just one of them of which i was little you bashir has two children and one small but says his desire for a larger family will do little to help strengthen the serbian population in kosovo every abend in family here has from four to ten children making these athlete group one of the fastest growing populations in europe and it seems as the serbian minority decreases says grow louder and the fight is fiercer in. recent clashes in northern conservation and the disputed border with serbia following christina's attempt to take control over the checkpoints show that serves as stand in strong over the communities with no dog beaches courts. to the rest of the world this is our calm long should we fight for it i want to normal life. so much much we're afraid they won't stop until we all leave or die with. one bedroom one big dining room and one room for children this little cozy house used to be a home to one serbian family but a decade ago life stopped within these walls so in one thousand nine hundred nine many of the serbs have fled casa
