the world's most wanted terrorist triggered by that. and welcome to our c twenty following news line from. our top story for entries have detained three ethnic chechens and charge them with conspiring to cause terrorist acts in russia they were accused of links to trash in minutes and dog marv believed to be behind numerous terrorist attacks including the most cruel metra bombings in march which killed forty european correspondent laura and the details. of preparing to fly to paris in connection with the rest of sri potential chechen terrorists we're hearing reports that french police have charged these 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
10:01 pm
they are links to various names terrorist organizations but russia maintains links with doku umarov who 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 the perpetrator of the self-proclaimed perpetrator of the of the metro bombings in march and also has links to al qaida now a source says that one of those who was arrested in western france was in contact with somebody who made regular phone calls to joe cool moderate 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 falls most scary with various potential attack targets marks on it this arrest is really. significant for three reasons firstly of course it makes the
10:02 pm
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 off 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 as 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
10:03 pm
a part of the global islamic terrorist threats as as terrorists who committed. so-called moderate is a terrorist he calls himself the leader of the caucasus emirates and he recently was declared by the u.s. 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 also need claimed responsibility for the mattress acts 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 two more. this

is still ahead nuclear competition. six different from the first successful atomic target blast she explores the shocks around the globe and. three months since this smolensk plane crash which killed polish president lech kaczynski his wife and scores of poland's elite conspiracy theories continued in poland over the disaster the official russian investigation which involved unprecedented cooperation with polish authorities swiftly concluded that human ever was to blame but as. of course there are some still not satisfied. 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 and smolensk region killing on board russian poland united in mourning. moscow showed it was willing to go out of their way to make sure investigation went openly and
10:05 pm
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 russia yet this situation causes suspicion however specialists in flight safety see no flaw with the conduct of the investigation it 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 with russian investigation teams say laying the
10:06 pm
blame on them is not fair. there was in essence a joint investigation underway which i think was very wise for both sides so i know that there have been an old going series of conversations and efforts because we do need to understand what happened to that replace so where does the doubt in the transparency of the investigation and the causes of the crash come from some believe politics could be in play they're fearful. are fond of believing that it was a russian factor and that the second measure. much of a factor is that there is a strong media coverage on this issue and there is. a political fight between parties using this crash as it often goes it was a tragedy that broke the ice between two people which instant death but moscow and more stuff closer than they've been in decades and now that relationship will have

to withstand conspiracy theories to you nicholas carr to moscow. a sixty five years ago a mushroom cloud in the new mexico desert should the u.s. have won the race to produce an atomic weapon and this all seems kristen for azzam reports the fact of the blast wave went across the world involving many other countries in the nuclear arms race. it started with a pen and paper a letter written by albert einstein to president roosevelt in one thousand nine hundred thirty nine explaining the need to act quickly developing and exploring your anian fission roosevelt did act and as several nations in europe became entrenched in the second world war the united states propelled itself into work on developing a nuclear bomb tens of thousands of people worked on it the largest corporations in america were recruited so it's not something that can really be done in the laboratory here. instead
10:08 pm
a large bomb weighing almost ten thousand pounds was assembled at a top secret facility in los alamos new mexico the nicknames of the two bombs that ended world war two one was called little boy and that was a rainy i'm fuelled weapon and then fat man the fat man or implosion bomb used plutonium instead of uranium at the center of it and initiating device encased in a highly explosive shell that made the blast wave go inward and five thirty am on july sixteenth one thousand nine hundred forty five the test was carried out. for. one. it was the beginning of the atomic age and of the arms race. people. cried.
10:09 pm
robert oppenheimer was the scientific director of the manhattan project three weeks after the test in new mexico known as the trinity test the uranium bomb was dropped at her. three days after that on august ninth the fat man was dropped on august saki a few days later the japanese surrendered and the pacific war was over the action itself of colossal importance but experts say the ability to develop and test became the driver of the arms race the british got it the french got it then the chinese. the indians the pakistanis now the north koreans are tested to us the reason why countries tested over the years has been primarily to develop new and more deadly types of nuclear weapons to demonstrate their power and to send signals to one another signals that even today steer relations and shift the balance of power around the world christine for r t.

staying with the new play as this stop dissolve and treaty his father snacks on ratification in the u.s. congress senior figures in the republican party have been speaking out against the deal but josh rogin a writer at foreign policy magazine believes opponents with a political agenda was succeeded in blocking approval by us in the wake. there is broad bipartisan consensus that reducing nuclear weapons is a good thing it reduces the risk of nuclear weapons getting into the hands of terrorists and reduces the chances of an accidental launch it proves the relationship and communication between the us and russia which has to be a good thing my take is that the treaty really doesn't impact missile defense at all what we're seeing here is that this is the first arms control debate that the senate has had in ten years so the senators want to get maximum concessions so they're bargaining for those concessions those concessions include missile defense it's more of what can we can get before we sign on that's separate from mitt romney and sarah palin and a couple of senators who are just against the whole idea of arms control in their
10:11 pm
mind russia is evil needs to be combated and arms control in its entire. frame has to be rejected there are a minority in the end the treaty will probably get passed with the support of conservative senators who have some concerns but want to get something for their vote and then you will still have going to twenty twelve going to the presidential election leading candidates like mitt romney mitt romney and sarah palin who don't make really analytical arguments they just bash on russia and they bash on the treaty because they think that buys them political points. let's now have a look at some other stories making news around the world at least twenty nine people have died in a fire at a hotel in iraq's kurdistan region used by many the sting workers and businessmen the dead include foreigners from thirteen different countries while twenty two others were injured in the blaze the fire took five hours to put out with some jumping from windows as they try to escape local police believe an electrical fault . for the first time in almost three months the massive oil leak in the

10:13 pm
lookalike pakistani senses are worried that depicting the world's most wanted man in a comic way could trigger terrorist attacks on his camera saying when to ask those behind the comedy in the world is really ready to post nine eleven humor. this could well be the biggest school. doing the worst. just. does not do five million dollars reward on his head in fact is not also about bin ladin but in that. there. or without you lot in but just in case you think this is a movie glorifying a terrorist it is a. sort of film. biography it's a film which is on the post nine eleven world of which bin laden happens to be a very important character and this is a fair number of feet bin laden and that's how he using it's not insensitive or offensive in any way and anybody from anybody is going to enjoy this from i can
10:14 pm
guarantee you that it's a comedy set in pakistan where a 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 lookalike. they had to keep the twenty five year old actor under wraps to prevent making the film. 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're falling in this time pete i was scared you might attack me but nothing like it happened they wanted to shake my hand and take my autograph so i signed with love someone. who plays the journalist is a pakistani singer and this is did you film how does it feel acting in an indian film set in pakistan. or would greatly appreciated be seen. people
10:15 pm
enjoy them so i mean to see a pakistani. something very refreshing and new for them but pakistan's firm 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 a 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 and it's one of the great jokes. that he achieved we have definitely quite a good film if you 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 smile and wave at the selling point of this film is bin laden but it's very tongue in cheek to ask for the one to act the part in the. i challenge you america there will be retribution holding just an evil actions you have committed in the countries like
10:16 pm
iraq and afghanistan for these you will have to pay a heavy price when i first heard about this poll my thought it was going to be a lot of occasional deadest 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 would probably be a good sense of humor to appreciate the message but in saying r.t. new delhi. and coming up us have very short break it's mostly out we can guide to russia's capital and not in our interest explore the hidden treasures underground and the splendor of the mattress architecture.
