post a secret cia records office sections of the us as an exporter of terrorism. adrenalin rush russian muse are turning to a new extreme activity train surfing for cheap thrill. out numbers growing number of young couples in india are facing their families and communities and choosing to marry outside the traditional cost system. and online you're watching r t welcome to the program the record high temperatures that gripped russia this summer have triggered the spread of a tropical disease uncommon in this part of the world most skeeters have carried the deadly west nile virus to the south of the country where five people died and dozens of infected as he reports. a steady stream of patients has been arriving at

this hospital near volgograd all with the same diagnosis west nile fever five are dead more than one hundred are seriously ill and five the real number of those affected might be several crimes higher a lot of people are being treated at home without knowing what's wrong with them and don't ask for help until it is too late west nile fever affects different people in different ways for those who are young it might pass without symptoms others might suffer a mild form of flu or something like that but for those most seriously affected for those who are vulnerable for all the people it can be critical it starts off with headaches vomiting diarrhea and then progress is to damage the central nervous system eventually leading to death i was allowed to see some of the patients myself many are still too ill to speak others can but are still suffering the severe aftereffects of what they have been through many don't remember how they fell ill they don't even remember where they live or how old they are they're simply full of

terror that their mental faculties will never recover from this ordeal outside their relatives who aren't twenty four hour watch they're begging to be let inside outside of visiting hours west nile fever is as exotic as it sounds it's much more typical for countries around the mediterranean it was never discovered until eleven years ago then just as the summer it was a period of particularly hot weather and this allows the mosquitoes to spread the disease as the mosquitoes it does in spite of that they buy the humans and then the humans get infected now here doctors are issuing warnings to everybody to keep their clothes with long sleeves to spray themselves mosquitoes spray and so on but they're saying that people are refusing to follow these instructions and that they are the threat quite seriously enough but they're saying that the threat will remain until october when the weather is expected to become cooler. live from the russian capital your with out still to come for you this hour live eat the american

diet really that appetizing for the rest of the world antti takes a look at the health of a nation. whistleblower wiki leaks is back in the headlines after publishing an internal cia report on the internet the documents classified as secret focuses on the perception of the united states as an exporter of terrorism meanwhile the website found there will be questioned by the swedish authorities of allegations of molestation or edit as more. there's been much less of a media florrie surrounding this than there was the beginning of the month when the war diaries were released and i think people school reasons for that one because. it was seventy five thousand separate documents that came from inside the u.s. military and such a huge volume of information always creates an impression whereas to compare it with this this is just three pages although having said that it is a secret document from inside the cia. that came exclusively from the

u.s. military. thing is the afghan war concrete evidence each of those documents was called the evidence of events to take place the civilian casualties of reporting on those casualties where is this is an internal cia document describes a hypothetical situation. what would happen if the international community perceived the u.s. as an export of terrorism it's written by departments in the cia called the red cell which is specifically charged with coming up with hypothetical scenarios and looking at what might happen so obviously the impact on how we believe the world works is much less than the impacts of the afghan war this report takes a couple of examples of u.s. citizens taking terror a broader talks about young muslim americans who travel from north to pakistan

allegedly were hoping to join the pakistani taliban while they were that. you may remember from november two thousand and eight when a man called david headley who was a pakistani american. and he took part in this is a valence leading up by bombings which killed more than one hundred sixty people and we do have to ask ourselves why has this report being released now particularly as it describes this hypothetical situation. has been and the last weekend it became. two swedish women had come forward one of the accusing him of rape and the other was accusing him of molestation rape charges being dropped but we recently heard that the swedish prosecutor will want to question. about the molestation charge which is a lesser charge it's been suggested that this is a smear campaign following the afghan war diaries the lawyers for these two swedish women say that's absolute nonsense as do the two swedish women themselves but we do

have to ask ourselves whether this report is being released now in order to divert attention from. he is really the sort of self-appointed spokesman for wiki leaks i've asked him whether he sees himself or whether he thinks he can be considered as a publicist you seek he said. he felt that when they were making these releases which leaks in terms of the media bringing the general public at large had to have some sort of spokesperson some sort of and he appointed himself as that man but still we do have to ask ourselves is this a case of the tail wagging the dog rather than the other way around this time want to makes won't get the same overwhelming reaction as they did a month ago when website of the published. reports that's according to investigative journalist wayne believes the food truth about the cia's activities has yet to emerge. if we were going to see something really earthshaking leaked from the cia how about some something that has to do with the

cia involvement with what's known as state sponsored terrorism for example the united states during the vietnam war targeted people in vietnam for assassination it was operation phoenix and we also had the shock and all in iraq where civilians were indiscriminately killed we've seen the same thing in afghanistan and where do we see these revelations there's nothing here that should. anyone in the cia and i think this really is just another case where where wiki leaks select that this document looking for a big publicity run but i don't think they have this got the same reaction they have received in the past. despite of promise from barack obama about the content of a prison with clues at the beginning of the unit that two hundred detainees remain claims of torture and mistreatment and terror geisha techniques and if a fall from the taurus detention facility brings you a special report that takes

a look inside we'll guantanamo bay that's next. disarming saddam hussein. of iraqi citizens. disappeared brings further assurance that the torture chambers and the secret police are gone forever. is again over embassy in kabul. to launch occupied afghanistan. now occupy sales at guantanamo bay. it is appropriate to this accordance. with the geneva to. face. if you can. so that it shocks them especially if it gets slow but you don't

actually breakin. could deter occasion techniques that we. are approved by the senior leadership of our government. we think. we believe. they are a great way to get your kicks on irresponsible act that puts lives in danger trains things that they to six trimix city that's getting popularity among adrenaline hungry teenagers and musket. but some of those willing to risk everything for thrill. some would find these acts stupid even crazy but for those who take part in what's become internationally known as train surfing is about the adrenaline rush the great involves riding on top or at the side of fast moving trains clinging on with their hands or the aid of a belt but danger involved this is for many

a major attraction but authorities are worried that those taking part are fully aware of the risks running along these cables above me of three thousand volts of electricity if you touch one you most likely be killed and that's just one of the dangers riders also risks falling from the train and being crushed but that hasn't deterred these guys they took up the hobby at an early age claiming it gave them an unbridled escape from reality. in yen the we mostly just ride the trains not pulling any crazy stunts this is just a hobby the guitar adrenaline up. and as if that wasn't daring enough maybe even taking to riding the metro just to get their daily kicks to these young men is also become a form of expression and they don't see why this is street sport is being seen differently to other widely practiced pastimes of the people skydive or climb mountains we ride trains on the outside certainly there's

a risk but we plan all our steps we know trains very well where different things you can hold on to are we have certain safety guidelines. they and other adrenaline junkies like them have set up a list of these to avoid injury and even a life of andrei met the activity has had tragic consequences for some but. have not been any tragic accidents in our group but things like that do happen just recently a teenage boy tried to climb into the driver's car from the roof and fell down he got severely injured. regardless of the dangers this crater swept across moscow with the web. swirling with uploaded videos this practice has even attracted the attention of more widely known extreme sports stars live voivode in has been base jumping for six years is no stranger to danger even this dead ever feels train surfing is a step too far but not because of the risk to themselves. will it hooliganism

because they risk hurting not only themselves but other people too in my sport base jumping if i jump from a building or a cliff and fall down i won't harm any one of them does however sympathize the extreme sports are costly and some may be forced to train surf is search of a cheap thrill and it's also a rush that's unlikely to cost them much in terms of jail time or fines with only a nominal fee in place for those caught meaning people like andrea surrogate are likely to keep turning to the tracks for the next buzz regardless of the ultimate price they might pay jake agrees r.t. . with the growth of globalisation features of the american way of life have spread to other countries that's not just in pop culture it's also food along. america's exporting one of its major health problems the city.

among all developed countries americans are the fattest in the world that's according to the world health organization where over sixty percent of the general population in the u.s. is obese was even more disturbing the u.s. is the only country in the developed world to label obesity as a prime national security health risks. it's all part of a growing epidemic in america supersizing questions like why are americans so fat and what brought the fast food nation to rely heavily on foods most developed countries banned decades ago there's a lot of innovation that's going on in the united states at all levels whether be organic or genetically engineered activity we begin with monsanto the former manufacturer of killer herbicide agent orange that's the chemical spray to the jungles of vietnam during the war with the united states agent orange eventually produced symptoms like these decades later monsanto is now responsible

for more than half of the country's food and produce supply i believe that food is medicine and that genetically modifying these the food that we eat is going to have a great health impact on it the united states also holds the record for the largest production of genetically modified products in the world according to g.m.o. compass ninety five percent of american corn and eighty five percent of the soybean industry is genetically modified the ingredients in all processed foods contain g.m. ingredients the grocers manufacturers of america estimate seventy to seventy five percent of the food we eat every day is genetically engineered this is one of the most dangerous massive experiments we've ever conducted our planet and the men one nine hundred ninety s. the f.d.a. and the u.s.d.a. allowed genetically modified food products and ingredients to flourish through the american food supply. why in farming industry. when g.m.

was very reduced to nine hundred ninety six seven percent of americans had three or more chronic illnesses within our years that went to thirteen percent to allergies doubled in less time food related illnesses doubled between one nine hundred ninety four and two thousand and one autism is an obesity is a diabetes is a no one is checking to see if the most radical change in the human food supply the introduction of genetically modified foods is contributing to these dangerous just six however statistics that lower income areas very according to a report conducted by trust for america's help minority communities in the country are more vulnerable and facts are to sticks recorded and african american has panic in native american communities are nearly double the rates of white american dr carolyn alexander suggests the alarming numbers plaguing minority communities is directly linked to g.m.o. foods i believe that these are certainly at the root cause of

a lot of our children's health issues in particular in low income communities because they don't have the access to real food that we're feeding the products evolution science to the entire population so the food is slowly killing us making us unhealthy and fat why is it on our stupid market shelves and even more important why aren't here no products labeled. as r t washington d c. the small it costs discrimination being illegal in india and they face harassment and hostility on a daily basis because of their social status but he's choosing to tie the knot with a member of a different cos can find themselves rejected by the community and family. he's current seen reports more and more young people trying to break with tradition. prakash and so in that i'm have upset their families born into different castes they were expected to marry one of their own but they have broken what is

considered taboo. and intercourse marriage is considered a sin here our society wants to continue its traditions that people have been following for centuries her family has a much higher cost than mine this hurt their ego but the bridegroom is lower in status. the couple have enlisted the help of outsiders the ngo the unite humanity movement often deals with managers that have been more than one thousand two hundred such unions in the last decade in the be hard state the year we want to discuss the society based mindset and caste based discrimination a society can only be brought to vote intercourse marriages and to religious marriage just the birth and she cautioned them are you look ten years of either not because father filed a case of kidnapping against her husband and still refuses to talk to the couple.

or food or even if we find the marriage really offensive then we kick them out of the village. caste is just a creation of one's mindset there is no real hierarchy between people and situation ration who considers canst and even if we do the next generation will definitely not even think of that discrimination on the basis of cost is illegal in india but in large parts of the country drew means the overriding factor when choosing a life partner the sooner this changes the sooner will divisions lose their relevance here got unseeing r. d. india. take a look at some other news making headlines around the world hong kong has held a memorial service for the victims of monday's bus hijacking in the philippines flags were lowered to half mast this is a three minute silence eight hundred citizens died. and it. has been strong criticism of the way security forces hundred. police.
