thirty people. killed. in the republic of. israel has just three days to strike iran's a russian built bush. before it's operational says america's. u.n. john bolton. taking matters into their own afghanistan's president wants to stop private security companies operating in the country. nato troops will struggle to cope with. a suspended visa regime. and a country full of sporting russia makes its way. all twenty twenty two.

from our studios here in central moscow twenty four hours a day this is at least thirty people have been injured in a coal bomb explosion. in russia. the explosion equivalent to thirty kilos of t.n.t. came just hours after another terror attack in russia's north caucuses on tuesday morning. reports. we are right now outside russia's prosecutor's office and it has confirmed that the explosion was indeed an act of terror there was an explosion the windows were blown out one fragment flew really close to me the nearby cars were badly damaged windows broken many people covered in blood were taken out just to give you an idea of how big the explosion was cars in the area one hundred fifty

meters around that car were severely damaged as well the preliminary data indicates it was an open explosive lift in a parked car some of those injured are in the critical condition the investigative committee has opened a criminal case the representatives of the committee experienced investigators are working at the site trying to identify the type of the explosive its capacity and all the relevant data the federal security service has reported to the russian president ordered an investigation and he also ordered to help to be provided to all those people who were injured and to present the president's advisory to the region. born in the has reported that those who work suffered in the explosion are already being provided with help another explosion took place earlier on tuesday on the border between north i said. when at twenty year old men exploded himself at the customs when he was asked to present his documents he killed one policeman and

heavily injured another three rushed persecutors office is saying that they have information that two men from chechnya were heading to moscow and planning a terror attack in the russian capital one of them as i said before exploded himself at the customs and the other one was arrested later during the day and has confessed that indeed they to work together and were heading to moscow for a terror attack. twenty million of those injured in p.r. got a scar in hospital with two in intensive care local reports say the end of the show used in the attack has already been identified. the blast caused widespread damage. but 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 down 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. other news now if israel plans to attack iran's nuclear power plant to bushehr it has only three days left to do so according to a former senior white house aide the former u.s. ambassador to the united nations john bolton made the statement in an interview with fox news he said the danger of releasing radiation into the atmosphere would be too great once the bushehr plant is launched on august twenty first ruling out military attacks by israel or the u.s. on the facility off to them russia's state nuclear energy company. recently announced it will transfer fuel rods to the facility that didn't talk to a professor of international relations at the center for global studies in new york

told me earlier that an israeli attacks are soon is unlikely but the idea still remains on the table. i don't think. bolton is correct in this regard. israel has known for some time that this. is going to be operational but also the russian also wanted to make sure. as the. nuclear fuel rods that is the iranian have been obligated. to return very few of the spent fuel back to russia which is suitable to produce a nuclear weapon so there's an agreement to that effect which the united states apparently satisfied with that arrangement let me let me be very clear i did not say and i would not say that military action either by israel or the united states or board has been removed from the table that has never happened and it is still very much on the table so to speak the question is the timing and the question is

whether or not iran will eventually come to its senses and decided to negotiate a solution to the problem that is really the issue today. with r.t. coming to live from moscow with his plenty more to come including nip and tuck russian style. like. breast enlargement enhanced the quest to become a full three perfect surgery becoming more and more popular and more and more affordable can be easy to forget what the real costs are going into the night. as the demand for plastic surgery grows in russia so does the number of inexperienced and unlicensed doctors. a story still to come first 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 had gathered near an army recruitment center the attackers one of the bloodiest this year it comes just two weeks before the u.s.

starts withdrawal from iraq leaving behind fifty thousand troops to train local forces iraq has been trying to build up its own security forces before the american forces leave but carol turner from 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 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 start for 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 troops being called trainers source forces so that the same people with a different name. the point is that the united states has a stamp a list of permanent present presents 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 are but the fact that it's reducing the number of personnel does is not the same and is not seem 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 pit to host the planet's biggest football event the world cup international officials inspect the plans for the twenty eight hundred tournament and went to find out what russia has been doing to sway the fee for delegation russia is willing and

able to fulfill our promises laid out in its bid that's according to prime minister vladimir putin who met with people delegation in moscow on tuesday and he says they're also ready to fill promises that are not laid out in a bid one of those guarantees is that these are three temporary stay. we provided we've got our own t's 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 days you have six million people who are players of the game of football they're big supporters of it so fan base is doubly number one also in eastern europe a country has never a host at the world cup so 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 the flow reach that goal now that russia's bid also has the attention of the u.k. media you have british press quoting officials in that country saying that russia is probably the strongest competitor when it comes to sealing a world cup bid now the nation has a couple of days to woo the feeds i delegation as it heads to sochi and to preside from more on the russian bid and its chances is my colleague caterina cho much of the with brazil. and so definitely come. good russia 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 fifth it's from spain

and portugal and golden and benevolence 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 scrawny the chance to prove 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 or a chance to go host the world cup. group between right also believes russia's biggest strong and is helping to make it even so. he's the director of a commercial to be shown to the jury it was the old this suit you when trilobites can pay in the short russia is humor visit 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 aspect 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 also a huge base of football fans in eastern europe who's never had the opportunity to show how much they love the game at home. to see the game until the government is ready to king which is these includes designs for over a dozen new state of the art studio with up to ten billion doing this but we have team brand new stadiums under construction currently it's only moskos luzhniki which for you matches people standards and has had experience of costing 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 people is interested in expanding it across the continent and beginning

to plus most game has successfully played within just a good challenge several big tournaments in the past the people who were born in this period are the same people who organized. the you for cup. final in two thousand that was making in chelsea fans were allowed in without visas for the first time and they all came in different they went very very smoothly and i think it will have a great time so people knew very clearly that russia was really tip top when it comes to organizing big international events like the. rushes to grecian for the twenty people t.v. sochi olympics is likely to come under scrutiny by people team and be the first results appearing to be impressive then such a success could mean and now the winning goal for russia in its world cup it exceeded the church of the r t new scale. 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 side of. despite being one of the most unregulated areas in russian health care plastic surgery is seeing a boom in demand the idealists have been i've had to nose jobs liposuction my lips repress the hands and older forth when i make money with this works when people call me crazy finance 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 like. breast enlargement. the quest to becoming body beautiful

three perfect surgery becoming more and more popular and more of affordable can be even bigger with the real cost of going and the knife could be. far from people being put off by the dangers the plastic surgery crowd is getting younger 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 and russia if you're already a surgeon you just need to take a month long course in order to get a license to practice for one twenty seven year old girl who entered a mosque a clinic recently for a routine liposuction the risk cost her life when she had a suspected allergic reaction was done to local and. the legal repercussions in

these situations often and. more. there are no clear controls or sanctions from 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. today there is still no official statistics on the number of institutions providing plastic surgery. with recent tragic cases and little official a the russians might start thinking twice about the risks involved the full going under the knife. sarah ferguson. well time now for a quick look at some other news from around the world a high speed train from frankfurt paris has come out of the truck carrying rubbish in germany ten people on board were injured one of them seriously. about one hundred forty kilometers. happened after a truck. on the tracks police say it'll take at least

a day to clear the area. a palestinian man has been wounded and detained in the shooting at the turkish embassy in tel aviv police say the man entered the building seeking asylum but was shot by security when he threatened still some media reports say the ambassador and his wife escaped unharmed after being held hostage by an intruder although israeli officials have denied that. three people have been killed and two injured as flash floods hit the south of spain georgia right means washed away cars ruined houses and covered buildings with mud and in poland at least one person was killed and almost nine hundred people evacuated from the tourist site. after severe storms that. afghan president hamid karzai wants to kick out private security companies and replace them with local security forces the contractors who work mainly for western companies do everything from guarding supply convoys to providing personal security for diplomats and businessmen 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. from washington independent institute believes that. unregistered local. security companies many of whom aren't registered with the government then operate. around and they get rid of everybody in that timeframe that he said there will be more instability because these are the structures and buildings need to be guarded to take advantage of the two. places and also companies have been accused to let their convoys go through the taliban territory so we have this corruption in there as well but to get rid of them i thing. there's probably going to be more taliban attacks but it clears. out to any time but despite all the progress we're returning to an imperial society with a hunger for power and resources driving the genders major world powers the current us invasion of afghanistan and the vietnam war thoughts are more with veteran left wing journalist john pilger next here on.

today i'm in london and. veteran journalist on a documentary record who started his career during the vietnam war john pilger thanks very much for talking to r.t. now let's talk about morton media in general first if you don't mind recently the web site wiki leaks published tens of thousands of documents relating to the afghanistan war what do you think that is the biggest impacts that modern

technology has had a journalism well i think the wiki leaks expose is. look like they might change journalism altogether if not change or wake it up. because what leaks has done is what journalists should have done. you know here here is this dreadful litany of years of of disaster and killing in afghanistan down in iraq. and i don't think we've got a sense certainly we've got a sense of the disaster but i don't think we've got a sense of the real. the the political disaster the the behind the the human disaster in afghanistan that's what we call leaks is has given us. i think it says to journalists. separate yourself separate yourselves from the world of authority and start becoming independent it's

a extraordinary moment you have had a very long career in journalism do you think the world is a better place now than it was when you started yes look things. improve progress is made. in spite of. the. the imposition of unaccountable power. on our lives i think socially in the way that people leave their lives and make their own arrangements in my lifetime. there's been an enormous amount of progress that there is also an enormous amount of regression we live in an imperial age again. i mean that's quite extraordinary we have a technological version of what it was in the nineteenth century with great powers

vying for strategic place in the world resources in the world we live in an age of what they call in washington perpetual war and i'm quoting general petraeus permanent war i mean that's not progress that's regression and that we have to deal with and staying on that point what do you think is the best and most painless way for the u.s. and its allies to get out of iraq and afghanistan as so many critics have been calling for get out. just get out i mean this this announcement by obama. to be the end of the combat mission next year is nonsense and that's another example of the of the media simply taking a face for something that told by authorities in fact there's going to be something

like ninety four bases left and sixty thousand troops and the surge so-called that is an increase in the number of mercenaries they call them contractors so far from getting out it's consolidating its position in iraq and that's what people really should understand and what about the time since barack obama's been in power do you think that there has been a paradigm shift in america's foreign policy since the bush administration no. absolutely you know there's been. i think we can put aside the word paradigm the paradigm hasn't changed since not in forty five american foreign policy runs in a straight line goes up goes to the sideways goes down a little bit but basically that line runs that trajectory runs in. one direction and what the bombers stop is simply pick up all the

policies of bush and pursue them i mean for example for the first time in u.s. presidential history and hasn't happened before a president has taken the entire defense department. bureaucracy and the secretary of state for defense from a previous administration discredited. you say american foreign policy hasn't really changed since nine hundred forty five you're already reporting during the vietnam war what's the difference between the wars in vietnam in afghanistan in principle there is no difference they're both guerrilla wars. they're both resistances opposing an invasion. both becoming one became the vietnam vietnam became a disaster for the vietnamese people two to three million of them perished and

a smaller disaster but a considerable disaster for the united states the same thing is happening in afghanistan the same thing happened in iraq talk to me about america's increasingly complicated relationship with iran there are now that they've refused to rule out sanctions and that's talk of minute checks and what do you think this is a nation to iran's nuclear program or on. doesn't threaten anybody it doesn't have a nuclear bomb. if you look through all the international atomic agency reports of the last seventy is they saying basically the same thing constantly go she should with iran in the in the midst of this iran wrote to the iranian government wrote to the american administration and put a series of proposals they didn't even get a reply. a rom was. under the shah

iran was a pillar of the american network the american empire if you like in the middle east that was swept away in nine hundred seventy nine when there was an islamic revolution and it has been american foreign policy to get that back and finally how would you assess this reset that we've seen recently in u.s. russian relations u.s. russian relations are very interesting. it must be amused people in russia to. be told that they're being threatened by missiles from iran. that absurdity is justifying the placement of miss. around russia even though obama made some spectacle of withdrawing some of the u.s. but all they were was reposition. russia has its own sphere of influence

following feed demise of the soviet union. i think that when great powers start doing deals together at the expense of smaller countries then we have a problem. and. i mean if if if russia. there is a place in the world for a powerful nation or culturally powerful nation. diplomatically powerful nation or soft rich nation to stand up for the rights of smaller nations it seems that role is almost begging russia to accept it i don't think it has accepted it but it's there thank you very much you're welcome.

to the kaluga me when the industry is relatively developing. margy goes to the area where the russian fleet was more. where the indigenous people were the first target seems navigator.
