Let k be a p-adic field and K/k function field in one variable
over k. We discuss Hasse principle for existence of rational points
on homogeneous spaces under connected linear algebraic groups.
We illustrate how a positive answer to Hasse principle leads for instance to the result:
every quadratic form in nine variables over K has a nontrivial zero.
