witness. says the area around the explosion was badly damaged by the bomb. we were some distance away from the blast about seventy five meters but still we all felt the blast wave it felt like something pushed me then we saw a lot of cars police cars among them drive past in the direction of where the sound came from we were at the office and decided to go there and see what happened the scene of the explosion was near the post office and across the street from the cafe we saw that the police had sealed off the area and the windows of the post office were shattered a lot of people were hurt since it was a lively part of the city there usual a lot of people there the cafe there might not have been packed but still. afghan president hamid karzai wants to kill private security companies and replace them with local security forces the contract is who will be for western companies do everything from building supply convoys to providing personal security to diplomats and business with a government spokesman says the companies will be ordered to disband within four

months all this comes as the u.s. increases its military presence in afghanistan ivan eland from washington's independent institute believes is targeting unregistered local warlords more than security companies i think he's probably playing the nationalist card maybe to get rid of some of the try to get rid of some of the foreign contractors but in reality battling these private security companies many of whom aren't registered with the government and operate like gangs around the country if they get rid of everybody in the timeframe that he says there will be more instability because a lot of the convoys that they use the embassies it's outer of the military structures and buildings need to be guarded because there's lots of violence and certainly the taliban would take advantage of that to increase their attacks on vulnerable places and also security companies have been accused of let their convoys go through the taliban territory so we have this corruption in there as

well but but they get rid of them i think there's probably going to be more taliban attacks the decree is really impossible to carry out any time soon. and in the iraqi capital baghdad at least sixty people were killed and over one hundred wounded by a suicide bomber iraqi authorities say al qaeda was behind the attack the blast happened close to where a thousand people are gathered near an army recruitment center attack is one of the bloodiest of this year it comes just two weeks before the war starts with drawl from iraq even behind fifty thousand troops to train local forces has been trying to build up its own security forces before the american forces leave but carol turner from the stop the war coalition told me earlier that there's no actual combat troop pullout anyway. the force is all for her in the chaos exists in iraq because it's been the country has been destroyed by the war and the military occupation that followed the best way of rebuilding iraq is to get its

foreign troops out and to get real peacekeeping forces in and in those conditions where the population of iraq is comfortable and satisfied that rebuilding the country is going on that it will begin to settle them but the reality is not that the u.s. has created security but it's destroyed what little security existed before the invasion in two thousand and three i think the troops that exist are being renamed and instead of being called com but troops are being called trainers or support forces they are the same people with a different name the point is that the united states as a stamp wish to permanent present presence a permanent base in iraq it's hell bent on keeping that of course it wants to reduce the amount of u.s. personnel that of but that the fact that it's reducing the number of personnel does

is not the same and is not seen to be the same as withdrawal and therefore the situation will continue to be unstable. visa free entry for all that's one pledge from the russian government which is putting its weight behind the bid to host the planet's biggest football event the world cup international officials are in moscow to inspect the plans for the twenty eight hundred twenty one states want to find out what russia has been doing to sway the free for delegation. to russia is willing and able to fulfill all promises laid out and it's a bed that's according to prime minister bad amir putin who met with the people delegation in moscow on tuesday and he says they're also ready to fill promises that are not laid out a bit one of those guarantees is that these are three temporary stay. we provided with guarantees from our government and we are ready to provide the organization with additional guarantees such as visa free entry for all the players

and fans at the time of the event and free travel between cities hosting the world cup. that russia has three major points and it's that first of all the bad things you have six million players of the game of football they're big supporters of it's a fan base that. also is easier to control has never hosted the world cup to that could also be in russia's favor at thirty first interested in helping countries that have never posted to develop and having the games the world cup in a country would definitely help fifo reach that goal now that russia's bid also has the attention of the u.k. media yet british press quoting officials in that country saying that russia is probably the strongest competitor when it comes to sealing a world cup bid that the nation has a couple of days to woo the fifo delegation as it heads to sochi head to preside for more on the russian bid and its chances is my colleague caterina her child but

to be with brazil with. and sold africa. could not should be next it's hopes of posting the twenty eighteen world cup a facing a key test this week as fifa inspectors arrive to assess the bit also in the running are england australia the united states and to june bits from spain and portugal and golden and the netherlands but so the africa hosting this year's tournament and brazil in four years time it still would be europe's turn will be next in twenty eighteen and many see russia's chances and. the chance a pretty good that russia can succeed and a lot of people say maybe you know i got more political decision than the football decision to give to a big country like russia or the biggest country in the world for

a chance through the whole school come. through between right also believes russia's bid is strong and is helping to make it even so. he's the director of a commercial to be shown to the jewelry group which was the all told this saw two winter olympics completely in each shots he showed russia as he loves it and the beach one incredible new stadia incredible new locations in terms of from some petersburg to sochi and kaliningrad and of course moscow you know there's a tremendous in our tourism spec to it on top of the games and again it's the first time that it will have been held in europe and there's always a huge base of football fans in eastern europe who've never had the opportunity to show how much they love the game at home. to see the game until the government is ready to pay russia's bid includes designs for over a dozen new state of the art studio worth up to ten billion dollars what we have

team brand new stadiums are under construction currently it's only moskos luzhniki which for you matches people standouts and has had experience of all staying major international events but in fact the very need to build new infrastructure could be russia's major selling point the other contenders already have infrastructure in place but fever is interested in expanding it across the continent and beyond blast has successfully coped with the logistical challenges of several big tournaments in the past the people who are running this. are the same people who organized. the you for cup champion. finals in two thousand lose nicky between man u. and chelsea the fans were allowed in without visas for the first time and they all came in two different very very smoothly and i think about have a great time so people you know knew very clearly that russia was really tip top

when it comes to organizing big international events like the. russia's progression for the twenty fourteen sochi olympics is likely to come under scrutiny by three for two and with the france results appearing to be impressive then such a success could mean and now the winning goal for russia in its world cup a bit you could integrate yard t moonscape. natural beauty is locked in competition with the promise of miracles from plastic surgeons here in russia women and some men are flocking to hundreds of private clinics to enhance their looks but for some patients who ignore the risks they're not enjoying new wrinkle free faces but suffering endless legal battles with inexperienced surgeons. 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 had illicit banaszak i've had to nose jobs liposuction my lips repressed and hands months and older forth when i make money with this work or if it when people call me crazy i announce 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 perfect surgery becoming more popular and more of affordable can even figure out what the real costs are going and the knife could be. far from people being put off by the danger is 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 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 feast lift to a twenty one year old russia's stance fitzsimmons 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. russia and that's what causes problems for one twenty seven year old girl who entered a mosque a clinic recently for every teen like a section the risk cost her her life when she had a suspected allergic reaction was. the legal repercussions in these situations

often and. more than a protest there are no clear controls or sanctions for 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 side russians might soon start thinking twice about the risks involved before going under the knife. huntsville alabama played a unique role in the u.s. mission to the moon and still provides

a unique insight into the space race today it both an extraordinary collection of flight hardware and offers people the chance to step into an astronaut shoes literally an artist an exotic he discovered even american experts say it was the russians who drove the nation to the moon. this is huntsville alabama vast space and a city devoted to just that. in the deep south of the usa. is word all began this was the beginning of our manned spaceflight program it's where one man spatial vision when i was seventeen years old i had no doubt that man would land on the moon in my lifetime became reality he had always dreamed about space travel he was warner von brown a former member of the nazi party turned pioneer of u.s. space exploration given his past how did people here see him rocket scientists the

gentleman who could take us into space but why huntsville we had more ph d.'s per square acre than you could find anywhere in the country available and willing workforce a workforce that experienced history. and lived to tell about it back then i was in the manufacturing engineering department people like rocket scientists an engineer robert showing hammer what specific rock. all of them to do better see saturn or saturn or apollo story and dan brown's colleague and friend at buckbee we flew twelve or twelve astronauts to the moon and in spacecraft 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 u.s. to the moon because there was serious competition between the two countries how can

it be that. we thought we would take them on to the wizards of the world but then it turned 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 a country that you can see all these vehicles including the space shuttle where you can see and experience that you are right it was like for. you. and they separating go down and land on the moon surface but what does it feel like to go on the moon for the astronauts were actually very trained on a device just like this and here anyone could be a space traveler you want to be an astronaut here's what it takes to get your suit your helmet a frictionless environment let's go to space. but eventually were taken to hospital officials say

had excessive amounts of grain the intervention stock put pressure on the internal market that's why it was necessary to export this grain but the situation has changed drastically we cannot talk about excessive amounts of grain on the internal market now we are saying that we have a necessary safety net so we are not talking about exporting the intervention stock any more what we are talking about is the need to decide which of the internal consumers it should best be given to in other words to which of the affected regions it should go in the first place and in what scope this decision must be made by the government i think it will happen as ministers approve said within the next two weeks. what is russia's current storage capacity but some here think if you look at the statistics the federal service of states to sticks reports that we have a total storage capacity of about one hundred eighteen million tonnes a very includes all types of grain storage is both the modern ones equipped with climate control systems and the old grain arrays and bonds dating back to pre-war

times honestly i think that only about one third of the storage is are up to more than requirements. how has the drought. affected your strategy until two thousand and fifteen start getting on with another company this tragedy of the united grain company includes large scale investments into the green market infrastructure construction of new storage is and trans shipment elevators as well as an upgrade of the existing facilities going forward to two thousand and fifteen there will be significant changes in the grain distribution patterns inside the country because over the last few years there was quite a distinct distribution the southern region produce grain for export while the central region and siberia produce greater consumption this is going to joe and the grain from the south is going to be consumed internally had finally landed there in .
