just ten years has passed and grozny has gone from this to this as president. is known far beyond his hometown viewed as an authoritarian ruler in the west but in a fact of manager to many fellow chechens and handsome bushes his vision to raise devastated grozny from the ashes and make it the dubai of the caucasus. i never thought it would be possible in such a short amount of time what's happened in some kind of miracle i can believe my eyes that is all the proudest achievement is girls in the city a complex of international class hotels and business centers when they were first per poster there was a lot of skepticism they would average build many thought it was just a pipe dream but there there are five believing towers there at the heart of the reconstruction of closely and are a symbol office that is recovery following the destruction wrought at the beginning of the millennium but cut it off wants to do more than just put up buildings he's aiming to raise the city's profile on a global scale says the still much of the yankees attempted to grab the world's

it's not the first time grozny has been rocked by big scale events in my. a legendary football there's diego maradona and luis figo took part in the grand opening of the cities before that other international stars including roberto carlos came to the region some turned years ago it would have been hard to believe that anything so glamorous and high profile could after it take place on the chechen soil but now it's almost become a tradition chechnya has seen massive progress but there are still challenges terrorism remains a big problem here with attacks taking place on a regular basis but locals put their hope in investment the belief tracks more money from outside and the quality of life continues to improve eradicating terrorism will no longer assume a mission impossible my. reporting from crossly. well that's how the news looks tonight and now the north caucasus remains russia's most a volatile region with terror attacks happening almost daily corruption and a poor quality of life are often blamed for causing violence well next hour to talk to the presi

plus we tour the chechen capital grozny as it celebrates the city day and its miraculous rise from the ruins of just a decade ago. anti wall street protests are continuing to spread across the country after reaching their third week new york is a currently hosting of the biggest rally attracting thousands of people protesters are angered by social injustice and corporate greed that they blame for pushing the country into financial meltdown or brings us more from. well at the moment this demonstration is gaining on precedented momentum thousands of people are marching through lower manhattan to join the occupy wall street movement i think this this number is one that nobody has even anticipated in the reason for that is because at this moment you are now seeing the unions join this movement the transport workers union one of the largest unions in new york city that accounts for thirty eight thousand employees has joined this momentum teachers are also out on the street the nation's largest nurses' movement has joined occupy wall street students have walked out of universities in new yor

also i don't want to see the thriving muley modernized chechen capital grozny is it celebrates its spectacular rise from the ruins of just a decade ago. we know the threshold of the ten year anniversary of the u.s. invasion of afghanistan a decade ago oct seventh two thousand. no one the war in afghanistan began as a counter strike for the atrocities of nine eleven but ten years on the troops are still there and the withdrawal deadline of twenty fourteen seems to be up in the air as the top general suggests more time will be needed well with means retired u.s. air force lieutenant colonel turned quite cold ski thanks for being on arctic air and isn't there a strong argument here that if you haven't what you've come to do after ten whole years you just as well give up. well americans don't like their word give up but yeah it makes a lot of sense i think part of it is that in many ways american people have not been told what we came to afghanistan to do and that mission is to build a city which we have done and to man those spaces and to operate militarily from those bases against other countrie

and also headlined to see that one of the nearly modernized chechen capital grozny hasn't celebrated spectacular rise from the ruins of just a decade ago. up next to meet a former british ambassador to syria who gives us his take on the violence in the troubled country one he knew so well. today i'm talking to basil eastwards he's a former u.k. ambassador to syria he was serving in damascus between nine hundred ninety six out of two thousand the situation's changed a lot since then and we're going to talk about what the situation on the ground is like now mr eastwood thank you very much for talking to us today now russia been these that asimov's deserves at least some credit for trying to instigate some kind of reform do you agree well if you will seriously trying he tried to little too late and his efforts have been totally undermined by the. violence that has been used on the peaceful demonstrators so that for every. death it becomes that much more difficult to conceive of any solution which leaves him and his coterie in power so from here you don't think there's any way back for u

like steer the russian market grozny. or they're having difficulty figure out how to take this now yes so yes officially you're painting there is one as you want to say also here saying if you see some people who are program after the summer and take it off and it's clearly is very hard to say i am who is on which side where does that put the nato humanitarian mission it makes it very chaotic on the ground you know their mission was apparently aimed at protecting civilians so where does that put the entire humanitarian mission. well the nato is also in a in a a little i'm a to buy all of them from the air in order to do this to destroy the military physicians. it's called you know this is a war of pickup trucks with heavy weaponry mounted on the fact they move around it's fairly dense as far as the buildings and so on so indeed. using yet to be a code word for the entry of the revolutionary as they call themselves is in fact a rather difficult situation and therefore there hasn't been. some sort of carpet bombing to do a
