1:10 am
worst month for coalition troop deaths in afghanistan since the war began but frederick william and author of the bestselling book sentry of war told r.t. that instability in central asia is actually in america's interests. comments. by july of next year are simply ludicrous as petraeus indicated the nato troops and certainly the u.s. force command are not at all planning to pull off because the afghan occupation you have to understand it has nothing to do or very little to do with afghanistan it has to do with russia it has to do with china it has to do the central asian countries and spreading what some of called a thirty war scenario to prevent the independent development economically of china russia and the c.e.o. showing our cooperation states so this is all politics on the part of obama about pulling up next. investigative journalist wayne madsen says general petraeus

hour's time but here's a preview. america went around proselytizing. democracy to all parts of the world saying you know we should should have a democracy that people can be in charge when the people saw that the same prognosticator the prophet of democracy was sitting there supporting these brutal dictatorships they said well who else has something on the table. plastic surgeries enjoying a boom in russia with beauty seekers of all ages flocking to hundreds of private clinics the end result however are sometimes far from desired and instead of enjoying their new faces they're facing analysts legal battles with inexperienced and underqualified surgeons and they find some of the pictures and sara first report disturbing.
1:13 am
the ugly side of p.c. despite being one of the most unregulated areas in russian health care plastic surgery is seeing a boom in demand he idealists have been most i've had to those jobs liposuction my lips repressed and hands months and older forth when i make money with this work when people call me crazy i answer that in my house in florence i don't care what they think plastic surgery clinics easy to find in most cases and procedures cost less than you might think. breast enlargement. the quest to becoming body beautiful three plastic surgery becoming more and more popular and more of affordable can be if they get what the real costs of going on the knife could be. far from people being pissed off by the dangers the plastic surgery crowd is getting younger by the . board i have a twenty one year old friend who is a fan of pamela anderson so she could get her huge breasts that's her personal
1:14 am
business i can't judge but then she also had a facelift at twenty one of course that i don't support it's this that causes a negative attitude towards plastic surgery but i blame the surgeon who gave a fee slip to a twenty one year old russia stands fifth a month countries with the highest level of plastic surgery operations being a relatively new market many private clinics of any popped up in the last decade and there are still very few experienced professionals. through the system of medical training different in russia and western countries it takes up to ten years to train as a plastic surgeon in russia if you're already a surgeon you just need to take a month long course in order to get a license to practice but if this doctor comes from a completely different kind of surgery they need much much longer training which we just don't see happening in. and that's what causes problems. for one twenty seven

year old girl who entered the clinic recently for a routine liposuction the risk cost her her life when she had a suspected allergic reaction. the case is currently under investigation and the legal repercussions in these situations often and. there are no clear controls or sanctions doctors avoid punishment and a large number of cases one reason is that medical documentation submitted to the judge or the investigation officers are often falsified also patients who often sign consent forms with off thinking of the risks unfortunately such circumstances make it hard to ensure an objective trial today there is still no official statistics on the number of institutions providing plastic surgery or the exact data on how many and what kind of operations are being conducted. with recent tragic cases and little official a the russians might soon start thinking twice

1:20 am
like this and at the height of the cold war the real reason behind the space race i really believe that. the soviet union drove the us to the moon because there was serious competition between the two countries how can it be that the russians we thought we would take them on to the wizards of the world but then it turned out that here's somebody that already launched a satellite and here at the u.s. space and rocket center a competition lives. on and that's the only place in the in the country that you can see all these vehicles including the space shuttle where you can see and experience everything that you were that it was me and my dreams are actually on your own. and they separate and go down on the moon's surface what does it feel like to go on the moon or the astronauts were actually very trained on a device just like this and here anyone could be
