doppelganger a new bollywood comedy featuring in the summer bin ladden look at like his band in pakistan. meet the leading man. this is r t live from moscow just after midnight here now this early saturday morning kevin i know it's got the top stories for you and french police have charged three ethnic chechens with conspiring with terrorists russia says they belong to the group led by infamous militant leader dr or model for is responsible for a number of terrorist attacks including the attack on the moscow metro in march this year our europe correspondent laura reports. the preparing to fly to paris in connection with the arrest of three potential chechen terrorists we're hearing reports that french police have charged those three four in fact were

arrested one was released without charge and these three have been charged with conspiring with terrorists now france says that they are links to various names terrorist organizations but russia maintains links with to whom are a few of course is one of russia's most wanted man he's one of the most notorious terrorist still at large in connection with russia perpetrated the self-proclaimed perpetrator of the bombings in march and also has links to al qaida now a source says that one of who was arrested in western france was in contact with somebody who made regular phone calls to modify so there's a connection between that and that in turn suggest that these men could have been part of the planning for moscow metro bombings during the search of the flat where these three men were living police found explosives and also particularly significantly more scary with various potential attack targets marks on it

this arrest is really significant for three reasons firstly of course it makes the world a safer place just in general there is a hard and fast evidence that these three men were conspiring to perpetrate attacks certainly in russia and possibly elsewhere in the world also it is an important cooperation between russia and the french authorities the french police made these arrests and brought these charges following a tip from the russian authorities russia said to france there are you know there are these three chechens living in western france you should move in and have a look at what they're doing so that suggests that you countries are working together to minimize the terrorist threat also traditionally chechens and north caucasus terrorists have been seen by the rest of the world out. separatists people who are fighting for the independence of their region from the rest of russia but now with the rest like these that view is really falling out of favor it shows more

that terrorists who commit acts on russian terror on the russian territory are just as much a part of the global islamic terror threats as as terrorists who committed atrocities elsewhere sokol model of a chechen terrorists he calls himself the leader of the caucasus emirates and he recently was declared by the us as a sort of a global terrorist they called him part of a radical jihadist movement which poses a threat to the u.s. so he's been recognized as being more of a global terrorist with links to al qaida that was shortly before president medvedev to visit to the states he's one of now the most wanted men in racing in the north caucasus region he claimed responsibility for the tax in march but russian officials think that he's been responsible for a wide range of attacks and he's been visible and operating since the one nine hundred ninety s. in many cases in many attacks and bombings these three arrests in france would seem

to be a hole in his network really so we're hoping that this will possibly to maul. r.t. if you're a correspondent laura still ahead a chemical that ruined the lives of several generations. i was born with now it too late and missing again. we look at the toxic legacy of agent orange used by the u.s. and vietnam find out what the latest controversy about its aftereffects. it's more than three months since the deadly plane crash in the small and screeching killed polish president lech kaczynski and many of the country's top officials the russian investigation's been completed but rumors and conspiracy theories remain and that's despite the fact that polish authorities have declared themselves satisfied with the findings are these are really good reports. the sounds of this crash were heard around the world when the plane carrying polish

president lech kaczynski and ninety five other state officials came down the smolensk region killing on board russian pool and united in. moscow showed it was willing to go out of their way to make sure investigation went openly and swiftly but some took the tragedy a lot more personally than others the progress of the investigation is to say the least minimal it is stalled polish investigators have received important documents and was happen from mushy it this situation causes suspicion i mean there are however specialists in flight safety see no flaw with the conduct of the investigation they didn't have to cut any corners because really the causes for this accident were very straightforward by which i mean that it's the kind of accident which has happened many many times in the history of aviation it is the most common type of fatal accident in aviation history i think possibly.

some polish people would have said look accident investigations take two years how are they so sure that they have got the answer after only a matter of months those who worked the russian investigation teams say laying the blame on them is not there it was in essence a joint investigation under way which i think was very wise. so no good here have been an ongoing series of conversations and efforts because we do need to understand what happened to the point so where does the doubt in the transparency of the investigation and the causes of the crash come from some believe politics could be playing there for people. are fond of believing that it was russian factor and that the second. major factor is that there is a strong. media coverage on this issue and. political

fight between parties using this crash as it often goes it was a tragedy that broke the ice between two people the chance to moscow and more stuff closer than they've been in decades and now that relationship will have to withstand conspiracy theories to embellish parties. let's take a look see what's at r.t. dot com tonight and some of you might catch your eye this story coming up next in the city most avoid getting physical as a new get to work movement builds up a sweat encouraging people to train almost anywhere in the russian capital despite the heat you can do it. well watch out mary poppins it seems she's been brought down there with competition from this where is it. designed by moscow students to educate and entertain children nonetheless despite the looks very prestigious for them.

the u.s. has released confidential documents about the vietnam war showing bitter divisions among white house officials at the time of the conflict it comes as hearings have been held in the house of representatives about the impact of the deadly chemical agent orange and in vietnam itself victims have repeated their demands for the u.s. government to fully acknowledge the chemicals toxic legacy you may find some of the images and pieces report disturbing. i was born with and with too late and missing a hand it is because of america's chemical war against her people in the jungles of vietnam that has left tran in these conditions she is a victim of agent orange second generation tran is one of many her story represents millions living in the shadows of a lasting legacy. these kids will never live

a normal life their deformities physical signs of human decay and although their parents were not even born until after the vietnam war eighteen million gallons of toxic herbicide spray through jungles of south vietnam is still penetrating the d.n.a. of those being born today that man a marion said the victim into still alive are suffering. in a space of cancerous the u.s. government has acknowledged agent orange is directly connected to the health ailments and defects that continue to plague the lives of vietnam war veterans for generations to come but the u.s. has refused to make the same length for the millions of vietnam is a war victims whose lives have been devastated as a result of agent orange they say that it has nothing to do with agent orange i think that the u.s. government has the reason to deny it. which is why delegations are here in

washington following a report issued by lawmakers scientists and doctors calling on the u.s. government to own up to its agent orange legacy in vietnam today also people then me government records show nearly ninety five percent of all u.s. agent orange related aid is committed to efforts to contain and remove dioxin contamination we asked the justice to all the victims those fighting for justice in the case of the enemy's agent orange victims want the physical and psychological damages to be acknowledged with. the dark legacy left behind by the u.s. in vietnam is one with millions of human face. is their struggle three decades in the making will not end with money from the u.s. government but it could ease the pain the u.s. has been ignoring scented done for months sent to manufactured agent orange in these jungles jan half is r t washington d.c. . the new bollywood comedy has been banned in pakistan because it features in

a summer bin ladin lookalike films released on friday in asia and europe but pakistani censors are worried that the comic portrayal of the world's most wanted man could trigger terrorist attacks parties car and sing meets the people behind the indian film when asked if the world is ready for post nine eleven here. this could well be the biggest group of my career interviewing the world's most wanted terrorist however this man does not have a twenty five million dollar reward on his head in fact he's not osama bin laden but an actor in a bollywood for their new bin laden or without you lot in but just in case you think this is a movie glorifying a terrorist it is a. threat on militant biography it's a film which is set out on the post nine eleven world of which bin laden happens to be a very very important character and this is a fair number of feet bin laden and that's how we're using it's not insensitive or

offensive in any way and anybody from anybody of the world is going to enjoy this from i can guarantee you that it's american comedy set in pakistan where the young journalist is fixated with going to america and he decided to stick it to get there is an interview with osama bin laden so he goes about creating a fake or. using a look alike. they had to keep the twenty five year old actor under wraps to prevent making the film. i had gone to shopping mall in noida to promote this film and there was a commotion there a crowd of more than a hundred people gathered so we were falling in the stampede i was scared can wait to attack me because nothing like that happened they wanted to shake my hand and take my autograph so i signed with love a summer. elisa for who plays the journalist is a pakistani singer and this is deputy film how does it feel acting in an indian

film set in pakistan in pakistan bollywood films are greatly appreciated they're seen. people enjoy them so i mean to see your pakistani in a bollywood film something very refreshing and new for them but pakistan's fun censors have banned the movie saying it mocks security agencies. and screening it in public could trigger violence films distributers in pakistan the message of peace and not appealing the ban but i thought it was nice film there's a lot of good humor from the name it sounds like a serious films but actually it turned out quite different so it's full of great jokes like in tripoli that he achieved we have definitely quite a good film it will definitely like it mind my students to come and watch it and they will like it there's nothing here that will incite people to my lines. the selling point of this film is osama bin laden but it's very tongue in cheek. to act the part. i challenge you america there will be retribution holding just an

evil actions you have committed in the countries like iraq and afghanistan so these you will have to pay a heavy price when i first heard about this film i thought it was going to be a glorification of terrorists but actually it's quite irrelevant subtile in the way pakistanis and muslims are looked at with suspicion in the west today and how the media could be fooled into believing something that doesn't exist i think this film could do well in south asia but western audiences will probably be a good sense of humor to appreciate the message got and seeing r.t. . past midnight here in moscow let me take you through some international news in brief first off a fire in a hotel in the rocks killed twenty eight people half of them a foreigner more than forty been injured that fire began in the five story building on thursday night. it took seven hours to put out that an electrical fault because the. u.s. senate has passed wall street reforms imposing

surely on a much lighter note before that after a quick break moscow out our weekly guide to russia's capital tonight artie's modern andrews takes is exploring the hidden treasures underground the on eight architecture of the moscow metro.

cool. in a new machine it will start it's good to escape from the sweltering temperatures above the new place to go to steep political. blood to see you get lost on friends on the streets most well program i'll be taking you on it's will have an art gallery and i'm museum a lot of the i call it symbolizes it infrastructure arts it's best shrouded in

history amazing facts and figures and also some fascinating legends yes it's the mosque i match our. lives on with modelers a and sculpture is below or read it is a visual traits on size it's not the oldest in the world down the most in london the pounds were drawn up during the smallest times just the outbreak of the first world war and the revolution construction of a began. but eventually the bolsheviks time that public transport dream into a reality. mr metro from the airplanes on the fifteenth of may nineteenth and see from march. but it's not just another run of the transport system it's one of the most impressive on humans. of the soviet era it's grand and breathtaking it was billed as a visual proof of the socialist state's power. one of the best things about the

most a metro pop from escaping the side stop the trains at least on time tell that to the london underground. part of red square in the kremlin it's one of the main tourist attractions in the capital a must see for any visitor. from commuters rubbing very strong statues to good luck to fascinating stories behind the peaceful mistakes it's a breathtaking world below full of interesting stories on various legends. take a star station for example looks more like an on gallery legend has it that it wasn't even meant to be built in the first place for the simple style in places called the cops on the engineer's plans and they saw it as a sign who created the construct of the time line and indeed so we see this around on the metro maps today. and before we explore most stations let's meet a foreigner who uses the metro every job. growth are you like yeah ok yeah

so you get to moscow for three years yeah here's my two thousand and eight it would be a great city i love it more think about the amazing ask about tris. best in the world and traffic it's a great yeah it is beautiful it's clean efficient player on the train comes a time in the rough the way it's look at this is so so clean and nice and when the firmness really not because it's warm you have to take the cold off it's really nice to go indoors in the from the russian wind but i didn't sleep as well. because nothing. at all for the most important thing is the during the working days the compliant no time for me to go meet clients just like. if you were going to give some advice to a tourist in the first time what would it be. to just go. around the circle. have a look it's beautiful especially. realize you have this church like ornaments that

really nice. i mean also one of the best things i think about better is that the trains every every minute yeah is it in love that you can see that that you really think of like and fifty that is the same as the going out fifteen minutes the traffic in the evening is terrible but. you know even feel as if you're waiting on . the platform it's on the mic comes up right. so the last go better is where the absolute best in the world will affect you five my dear good luck here in the us a couple i u two thank you. and if you are a true fan of underground transports but you must visit the moscow metro museum black and white images show the construction process in the museum also houses hundreds of artifacts including various designs examples of technology and metro themed art cinema whole display city and modern day documentaries and you can see

everything here from ticket barriers from the one nine hundred sixty s. to models of train carriages regarding the stations one hundred and eighty two in total today there are several but to stand out those little scar on the brown ring line open in january nine hundred fifty two it's nations are covered with thirty two stained glass windows with bells behind them to imitate daylight the windows were made by lots of artists who use glass stools enrica cathedral originally intended for church windows can sky is one of the central stations on the red line too in the time of its construction in the one nine hundred thirty s. the christ the savior cathedral above was demolished and a huge palace of the service was planned to be built on the site the project never came to fruition the decor of the spacious station might look simple and even austere but still it has received several awards and finally got to be over. meaning starry hills is an underground station and it's the longest it's made a hole being two hundred seventy meters. construction was completed in

a record short time at the end of the nine hundred fifty s. by the mid seventy's it was on the edge of collapse so it was decided to close the station reopened only in two thousand and two now has a contemporary look at its glass wings providing amazing views of the city. the station is a world of its own. its pace its. people. and what new buildings all. the added value of the crowd with it i think will fail to be amazed that it also means that. through violence dissolves the celebration and triumph of the. proud as the pulsating veins of the city you know after the terrorist attacks in late march to she was a from running again within a few hours of toughness and spirit and resilience perhaps.

one of the main dispute here is no doubt about a secret that. the kremlin to other key buildings and strategic command posts. exists like listening. to people. is always. the system was supposed to be built already started during the time of sally and was code named d six by the k.g.b. . so you can see the several secret lines connecting the kremlin with the s.s.b. headquarters and other locations of national importance we find out if it ever exists and the time will tell. if you want to become a metro train driver or you should come to this next training academy it takes

about a year to qualify for the prizes it looks really quite complicated. the mechanics behind it was mostly students have to know much more the city driving a metro train situated outside the campus in one of the main trains the training academy has everything at its fingertips i expect she has stimulated and working trains. in this classroom here the students of the moscow metro traffic light system it's not just about ready to stop green for go it's much more complicated they have to know for example the holes in school work for the electorate how the traffic lights are. created and more importantly when they potentially break down. peter see a future map of the underground system with a large and a number of new lines added and further extension makes century may seem a long way off the plans are already in place. i feel so excited standing

inside he really does. from inside you will start cycling it's just. the trains assaults all the maintenance every evening. so is it difficult to become an underground train driver. the juniors tools are the most difficult technical preparations they complete their studies at the mitchell training center which include practical lessons you have to pass the test drive is also an emergency exercise as well as a theory exam perforations itself there are no bus drivers like you. can fit fencing for trains had to. face day in law to make sure that these guys never break down it's crucial one hundred percent. and that they're all in working order and a group of four hundred local mechanics working on the consummate sold this is a reality. and from the demo it's time to jump in next to a driver onto

a train that's off to work. for coming up to our platform now i doubt this is the first time i've been the focus of a also metro train car like the last of the moscow metro just like the rest of the capital this most responsive architecture will continue to nurture develop and grow from the old bush is to love to young couples the people are as diverse as the stations themselves the ones in the metro was nicknamed the people's palace and was a magnificent underground callus it is full as well from the most numbers and the space program on the moscow house i'll see you again on the street so sell them for me the rest of the food bye bye for now.

culture is the same i understand my family and therefore you will miss some of the ambient look matters in the market will use mansfield castro's appearance on cuban television for years again puts into focus the bonus. it's.
