pursuing its own agenda we can weeks is accused of trying to divert attention from a sex scandal involving its founder by publishing its own way this revelation. plus we tracked down the youngsters going off the rails and pursue adrenaline as the dangerous hobby of train surfing sweeps. it seven pm in moscow and this is our team coming to you live now with your top story and a tropical virus that's rapidly spreading in the south of russia has already claimed six lives while millions could be at risk of infection nearly two hundred people have so far caught the west nile virus which is carried by mosquitoes are. reports from the volgograd region which has been the worst affected. no one is

safe just one ordinary mosquito is enough to put the life in danger hundreds involved region have been hospitalized with the worst. initial symptoms include high temperature headaches. followed by seizures unconsciousness and. the situation is grave has been an unusually close summer which allows mosquitoes to build up a high level of the virus there is nothing we can do to totally why it. has survived infection but his central nervous system has been damaged he has problems remembering his age and address. i was steered when i found myself slipping away i don't remember how the ambulance brought me here. but at least he's alive several have died already here. finally we had realized what the seam times were and that

we needed to get her to hospital she might have survived but my mother was a strong and healthy one. the worst virus is transmitted by mosquitoes in fact both birds and humans although traditionally a mediterranean disease has been aggressively spreading through europe and america the first break in volgograd was recorded only eleven years ago this year has already seen the highest number of cases. i've just heard about it on the news i'm terrified. i don't know anybody who's died from it i reckon i'm not in danger authorities are warning people against complacency and avoid to use mosquito repellent and cover as much exposed skin as possible to avoid bites the continuing hot weather has allowed the infection to breed more aggressively among mosquitoes doctors say the worst season has not peak and of all claim many more victims before leveling off in october. life from moscow here with r

t still to come for you in the program. by a suspect a celebrity and the chapman capitalize on her newfound fame with a photo shoot. and love knows no boundaries young people in india are trying to break the tradition of caste narratives. weekly lisa's back in the headlines after publishing a classified cia report by with the document failing to live up to its hype and with the site's founder currently under investigation over sex abuse claims it's led to accusations the online whistleblower is pursuing a secret agenda more than it has the details there's been much less of a media florrie surrounding this then there was the beginning of the month when the afghan war diaries were released and i think there are two possible reasons for that one because the afghan border as we released it was seventy five thousand separate to. 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 these documents was called the evidence of events to take place the deaths of civilians casualties. 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 is

much less than the impacts of the afghan war diaries this report takes a couple of examples of u.s. citizens taking terror it talks about young muslim americans who travel from 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. he took part in this is a valence meeting up by bombings which killed more than one hundred sixty people there we do have to ask ourselves why has this report being released now particularly as it describes this hypothetical situation. has been sweet and. became clear to swedish women had come forward one of the was accusing him of rape and the other was accusing him of molestation. charges being dropped but we recently got the sweetest prosecution 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 deflect attention from. legal problems. the mystic of journalist wayne madsen believes the truth about the cia's activities has yet to emerge. i think one thing this shows is that the cia and the government in general is over classifying a lot of its documents there's really no way that this document should be secret because it's a bunch of talking points that could have easily come from any washington d.c. think tank if we were going to see something really earth shaking 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 and there's nothing here that should. anyone in the cia and i think this really is just another case where we're 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 but despite barack obama's promise to close the guantanamo bay prison at the beginning of the year nearly two hundred detainees remain as the claims of torture mistreatment and d.p.'s interrogation techniques are getting to look inside the prison in a special report coming your way later today. just so that hussein.

is majority of iraqi citizens. disappear and brings further assurance that the torture chambers and the secret police are gone forever i. was again over embassy in kabul. street once occupied afghanistan. now by sales at guantanamo bay. it is appropriate to the. record this would just be the video. the slab stomach slam if you can. so that it should especially for you to sleep but you don't actually break any. techniques that we. want. but the senior leadership. we think. we

believe. the russian president ordered an inquiry into the investigation of the death of a high profile lawyer while in custody last year thirty seven year old sergei magnitsky died in jail in the autumn while the awaiting trial for tax crimes his supporters were in prison officials who they claim deny him the medical attention he needed when he fell ill the international lawyers association last month pleaded with dmitri medvedev to punish those responsible. as trains rush so does the adrenaline for a growing number of youngsters in russia they're taking part in the highly dangerous activity of train surfing riding on the outside of carriages parties jacob graves meets the young people who are willing to risk their lives. some. even crazy but for those who take part of what's become known as tres surfing it's

about the adrenalin rush the great involves riding on top or at the side of moving trains with their hands or the aid of a belt the 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 just one of the dangers reuters 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 gave them an unbridled escape from reality. and yet 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 there 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 extreme sport is being seen differently to other why the practice pastimes of the people skydive or climb mountains when 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 andray myth the activity has had tragic consequences for some but. have not been any tragic accidents in our group 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 but. regardless of the dangers this crater swept across moscow with the web swirling with uploaded videos meaning people like andrea sergei are likely to keep turning to the tracks for the next buzz regardless of the ultimate

price they might pay jake agrees. just take a second to remind you we've got many more stories on our website dot com we feature various guides fashion columns and even space blogs let's take a quick look at what's online for you today russia's figure skating prince and denny newsome girl may be out of the sochi olympics although he's continuing training find out what he was promised for. the first russian view to a concert has rocked moscow with tens of thousands of fans bopping to the legendary are all the pictures are team dot com. well not content with provoking an international incident between russia and the u.s. from fear towel on

a chapman is back in the news now the face of the recent spy scandal is being sued by a glossy magazine it claims she broke a contract by posting pictures of a recent photo shoot on her facebook page tom barton has the details. the name on the chapman that sticks out more than any other she seems are synonymous with this big spy scandal and one of the reasons unavoidably everyone knows it's her looks and she has realized this she came back to russia greeted as a hero after the exchange of spies in vienna back in back in july and she has capitalized on that almost celebrity status since it's in the hotel behind me the hotel by that she recently conducted a photo shoot she seemed to be enjoying it very much in videos posted on the internet using her glamour this was for the russian edition of heat magazine but she since got into a bit of trouble it seems putting photos up on her facebook page of that photo

shoot before he did heat wanting now to take her to court the whole spy scandal and this whole thing has also opened up a wider really fascination with spy stories in britain america has a story that one of the screenwriters on or on a james bond script was investigated for many years by my side for possible links to the old cold war k.g.b. another example is that it's been found that a russian spy was recruited by the nazis in world war two and then proceeded to go to norway and steal british plans for an invasion of norway handed them to the nazis which the late unable them to defeat the british invasion which then led to the collapse of the british government and the election eventual of none other than winston churchill so huge ramifications really and it seems that with many spy stories the details are as fantastical as any fiction you could make up but it seems that many people want to get their teeth into these stories and i think the

public have found it all very amusing the person who isn't joining at the most though is miss anna chapman herself she's found her firm fertile status is bringing her a lot of attention and she seems to be enjoying our very much. well it's quarter past the hour let's take a look at some international news in grief for you now the u.n. is reviewing security policies for its aid workers in pakistan after threats from the taliban u.s. officials have warned that militants planned to attack foreigners helping provide flood relief aid agencies have hinted that downsizing relief operations might be necessary that could be a big blow to the seventeen million pakistanis affected by the flooding who are in need of great assistance. thirty three chilean miners trapped seven hundred meters underground have received oxygen food and water supplies along with messages from their loved ones officials say it could be christmas before a whole there's drill to get the men out and his family members have set up
