the first two decades biggest towns flag has served as a banner of christie. every leader every government that pulled this country promise freedom and a better life. but so far the kick is people have fully tested only one right the right to kill. it's not done the residents of washington didn't see the writing on the wall tensions between caregivers and those that communities have been simmering for decades when joseph stalin helped draw of the region's administrative borders patches of his back land ended up cutting through curtis territory the people see nobody took it seriously the borders were appointed by reference to the terrain nobody could ever even think that these borders would become the frontiers between

the independent states it was just dumb to put a stumbling block into the interethnic relations just to let moscow be the main result of the problem. for decades the two communities leapt side by side attending the weddings of their children and going to the same mosques. both the current games and those bets a sunni muslims yet in this city religious unit couldn't outweigh the house protests. in fact it was right before friday prayers the most spiritual time for a muslim that the slaughter began. well the viciousness of clashes was beyond description but to be even more shocked . thing was the reaction of the crickets. for three days the caretaker government

of kyrgyzstan was taking care of everything bob its own subjects being burnt alive . this. speak to this crisis was. so. brutal. no i the law enforcement know they army intervened when the clashes began to spread hours later i doubt weaponry and equipment in the hands of cricket gangs. was on this issue when you talk about the armed forces were interest being on hopefully for the actually cure and also cleansing minimum uniforms were shooting of strong bottles with gasoline in people's houses you know one of the citizens would run out they will shoot them.

with. wasn't the first time that they could use the thora just to dido washing down and people being killed. two months prior to the massacre of almost ninety people lost their lives in front of the government offices putting in defeat is. wasn't even thirty when he was killed during the april uprising in bishkek an electrician he worked long hours to support his family. his uncle sas he joined the rally because he had had enough even though opposition parties paid a small fee and provided to preach and spread station for the protesters. people have had enough and it's a family marxian but we heard. he of said i have

a shepherd that says father and five million sheep magine that. it was those deaths ultimately allowed the interim government to seize power when the victims of the bishkek massacre were laid to rest the new authorities thought to present them as national heroes to sacrifice their lives for the future of back country. loose people who shed their blood for they have the noose of careless nation and for the fast the rooty. before the bishkek rides christiane had never buried so many people at once and there at the cemetery the leaders pledged it wouldn't happen again. but just two months later the country self was drowning in.

s.o.s. save our souls this plea was seen on every house on every street in those back neighborhoods of southern kyrgyzstan a cry for mercy that led to even more violence and that's why we didn't have anything to protect ourselves with so we had to write everywhere but it didn't help at all places rues books live all had a suicide. didn't fight us. neighbors for centuries in just a matter of days the congress and those backs turned into each others worse than a miss they didn't just kill they did it in the ad least of waste. their trousers were taken off each one of them has a stick and he's backside they're not human they're animals.

muslims believe those killed during friday prayers will go straight to heaven but it offers little solace to this family. in the year old the boy was returning from a mosque when a courageous mob surrounded him. a russian citizen he came to kyrgyzstan to see his relatives. they still haven't found enough courage to tell his mother what happened . i mean you need god then you have the we never separated backs we're all muslims . don't be afraid don't they have parents mothers. do they want. men in his village blocked all roads in and out of the settlement trucks from a nearby oil refinery were used for barricades there finery itself was booby trapped to ward off looters. only one stronghold remained standing. in the city were torched women were killed. we won't give up our

positions. yet for all their self-defense rhetoric pieces back we'll injuries are also guilty of murder on the second day of briards they killed the chief of the local police precinct and his colleagues all of whom were ethnic. the family of one of the victims is still looking for his had to be buried together if he's decapitated body. five men arrived in the car my head was smashed. during the first day the provisional government didn't react with doing nothing and that's why the violence was growing. fishel death toll has climbed over three hundred many believe that the real figure

may be several times as much according to local customs. try to bury their loved ones on the day of their death bypassing official registration but when the authorities began to identify bodies to ascertain the death toll this created. the hatred between communities. my nephews appeared at the cemetery and now every grave was being dug up. the cantrell stone piece. for those unfamiliar with central asia differentiating between the caregivers in those bags is tricky the most vivid visual distinction is a male had a gear felt allen gated hoods for the car gates and flat skullcaps for those backs yet in this conflict the form of had gear or the shape of the ice was reason enough for execution.

during the first day of clashes somebody started watching the ethnicity of residents right on their doors to those barracks it meant black marks. mother welcome there were people who were walking or running with paint marking their faces writers then used these marxists targets now the caribbees has a stamp touched well that was because or destroyed. it took this man more than a decade to build his house only to see torched of where night. that's really critical here and there were up to twenty people aged from fifteen to thirty five they said only cure disease people should leave in kyrgyzstan. his family now lives in the stables right across from the cattle. slipping on manure and hate his daughter in law is dreading the worst is yet to come

a six month pregnancy didn't stop the mob from getting her. minya him dugald i was fine i stripped there were no clothes on me i'm pregnant but i was beaten up four men have taken me by the hand and threw me on the car. i fell there in my stomach my child sometimes is moving sometimes. his silent. loss. it wasn't always this way born and raised but i'm not and pon have known each other since elementary school. and this back and occurred the two remember their homes as an example of interest mixed toller runs with that look this is you and this is me years have passed that haircuts and husbands have

changed but they have always been there for each other. or like sisters no where even closer there is a new sheen of a friend so cool she can take your sins upon herself to stand before. that's how close we are. to their friendship has already been tested back in the clashes once before twenty years ago or so its brightest after the riots over distribution of land almost call strolled poncho. please do anything. else in the boss and we saw a crowd of ahead of us that. they didn't see it. with long dress all the others in the boss were killed. in the. horrifying experience didn't make her scared of her

hometown something she bitterly regretted after wards this summer that you've done some their children to austria holidays at the time of our visit still couldn't figure out how to get them back. and they had the reasons to be fearful of. these girls. was this a mage's that daughters was fleeing with your mother to do is bad border when the bullets. in. the clashes in southern kyrgyzstan were well organized many of the mobsters need to presidents of wash they had access to weaponry and they didn't just indiscriminately destroy everything in that way in fact the marauders were very

selective in their targets. for all it's all until it's this blood bath had all the trappings of an attempted coup to top one of the so-called color revolutions still frequent in former soviet states that added yet another blot stain to the rather biggest flag.

in india she's available in the movie joint the hotels the villas the gateway her to the grand imperial trilogy the tall western. hotel close leisure. to go clear brotherson the colonel was hotel to retreat. the rat sun is setting on. bringing the bloodiest weaken the city's millenia long history so close. but it's imposing mon tens and fertile valleys do you see it's part of poets and painters. now it's figures streets provide

a matter for the shattered lives of its residents. the heritage from my father. this is batman is showing what's left of the house. with three generations. days after the fire and the ruins are still smoldering just like his anger at his neighbors. through the dress i'm afraid to take off my jacket because i've got nothing you understand what it's like he's house at the very end of on his back and clave so some of the most brutal fighting. he says snipers hiding in a nearby apartment block killed several of his neighbors. they were also downstairs and on the roof. occurred these men who fought on the other

side of this improvised barricade has a strikingly similar coned about the snipers on the roof and the stones and says he's only weapons and the viciousness of his adversaries. you shouldn't trust. their animals it was. just this is. is thicker gives people who must have the power here. some of the most serious had firearms the most common weapons in this conflict were sticks and knives this may have helped curb the death toll but it also contributed to the overall savagery of the riots allowed to kill with bare hands people proved very creative in finding new forms of torture and mutilation. many of the male victims were sodomized the genitals horribly mutilated. women had

a better chance of survival that are zeal of any will to leave. no she's in a great condition she couldn't and doesn't want to speak the seventeen year old girl was gang raped in front of her father. in a culture where chastity before marriage is a must she's unlikely to ever marry or have children. they hide everything they chorus this is our mentality but i know that more than ten women from one in the same district were raped. among them a pregnant women as well as underage girls about twelve sixteen years old she's not. i left face to face with unprecedented ruthlessness for more than a week the people of southern kyrgyzstan the wait for their leaders to step in but

the authorities both on the regional and the state level just watched the carnage from the sidelines. national channels gave little airtime to the events in this hour of showing these commercial and stab me even if. i still knew where to run to. when it became clear that the they were just run they able to control the situation those trapped in the inferno appealed to the world. police said they would do like peace with us demands and i lived a sham until. i left couple is a kid you said we don't leave here the jets just survive here like animals when i

grew up i will be killing everybody. but they help never came and stabbed two weeks later the interim leadership all for the homeless and the grieving a choice a parliamentary for a presidential republic. it was never secret that the main goal of the june referendum was diligent demise the self appointed interim leadership rather than carry out political reform impotent during the clashes it proved cunning enough to turn the tragedy into its main electoral. killed by government forces during the riots. of his now remember that his village as a national hero. shall bring about freedom and democracy. for this referendum. people country during the revolution.

some of. his relatives among the most loyal supporters of the interim government but the week prior to the referendum they devoted the time complaining for the new constitution. and i think this referendum changed previously the constitution only works for one family we think this new constitution works for the people. while the promises of democracy and a better life have fallen to many followers in the capital bishkek in the south of the country that met with anger. death row which is a paying these women seven dollars per day to help clean the ravaged streets but it was not enough to carry that electoral favor if it ended you know that we don't need this referendum we don't need it oh there's blood here people have died why should we have this her friend and how will it help us.

who does have been most hopeless in those back neighborhoods this family just learned that their son was killed soon after the interim government reported that they have got the situation in the city under control. i wouldn't advise anyone to vote if the government can't protect us why do we need to a government should be protecting us and instead they came here with marauders with murderers they killed our sons robbed our families. well i can be cured communities these people haven't seen the single election official yet many still went to the polls hoping the authorities won't fail them again. i've got to. go. we have nothing you know. everything. is the third to help us to rebuild. we will support.

absent during the bloodshed the interim president made a very public visit. to cast a ballot that will keep her in power until the end of two thousand and eleven. people today are voting for stability in kyrgyzstan for a legitimate power a lot has been said about the country being divided that it is on the brink of disaster but today at the referendum people want to prove that the country is united. after weeks of riots and homelessness the referendum gave some of the residents the first chance to go back to their neighborhoods to many the scenes were too much to bear.

just look at everything is destroyed. but they end of the day polling stations in those back and claves have seen so many hard braking encounters that even some election officials started questioning the need for both a tall correction can we see official or as a member of commission here but i think there is no place for a friend in now they should have thought about people first who were left in the streets without home and suit there is even a small humanitarian aid. in the referendum allt of the way many here hold the authorities will finally get doll to what really matters the caregivers in those back still live on different sides of the barricades paying for cruelty with mercy and vice versa. this woman is current is the man as is back they believed on the same street for years so when the mob came to that area the

candies family backed them not to harm those back a neighbor a member of the use backs should go away they took everything for months and i have nothing against my neighbor he's a good person but the others must believe that game. when those bad gangs retaliated no please stop down from killing they had a good. group. of. dealing with grief and rage adieus backs the family to care of their old neighbor when they were handing him over to his back relatives no one could hold back the tears. moments later the caregivers in those back started blaming each other for starting the riots. may have meant like neighbors they parted like enemies.

well the authorities have proclaimed the return of reconciliation. both communities are. sending their children the way the right to kill has been abolished.

five people have been killed and thousands will at that table instead of the devastating continue. fishing for toxic drugs chinese emergency workers struggle to retrieve barrels of old and dangerous chemicals which were swept into a river and are now heading for russia. lost in our russia close of series we explore the artistic charm of the town of boards which has been turned into giant hands by a retired engineer. and. this is r.t. coming to live from moscow ten am here on marina joshing welcome to the program twenty five people have been killed by the fierce forest fires raging across central russia as the weeks long heat wave refuses to loosen its grip about three

thousand people have watched their homes burned at a similar number have been evacuated as firefighters struggle to prevent the flames spreading all we can now cross light there for us following the developments for us there in veronica's region sara good morning to you so bring us the latest on the situation there. well we've had that twenty five people including two firefighters have died throughout central russia in these fires that have been caused this extreme heat wave that rush is seeing in the past few weeks so we've come head to the city of earnest which in the last few days has really seen parts of it devastated by these fires that have been breaking out we're actually just fifteen minutes outside the city center about four hundred seventy kilometers from moscow and would a village called must love which as you can probably seen beside me has had most of its homes completely destroyed by the fire is the smoke really hanging there.
