it. no one is safe just one by trim an ordinary mosquito is enough to put a life in danger hundreds involved red region have been hospitalized with the west nile virus initial symptoms include high temperature headaches and nausea followed by seizures unconsciousness and death. the situation is grave it has been an unusually quiet summer which allows mosquitoes to build up a high level of the virus there is nothing we can do to totally wipe out this infection your good dog can has survived infection but his central nervous system has been damaged he has problems remembering his age and address. i was cured when i felt myself slipping away i don't remember how the ambulance brought me here he said but at least he's alive several have died already if only we had realised what

the seam times were and that we needed to get her to hospital she might have survived my mother was a strong and healthy when. the west nile virus is transmitted by mosquitoes can fake both birds and humans although traditionally a mediterranean disease has been aggressively spreading through europe and america the first outbreak 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 advised to use mosquito repellent and cover as much exposed skin as possible to avoid bites containing hot weather has allowed the infection to breed we had more aggressively among mosquitoes doctors say the worst of the worst season has not peak and of all claim many more victims before leveling off in october. r.t.

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. the other 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 reported casualties whereas this is an internal cia document describes a hypothetical situation. what would happen if the international community received 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 this report takes a couple of examples of u.s. citizens taking terror a broad talks about young muslim americans who travel from north to pakistan allegedly were hoping to join the pakistani taliban while they were that case that you may remember from november two thousand and eight when a man called david headley who was a pakistani american was he took part in this valence kneading up by bombings which killed more than one hundred sixty people but we do have to ask ourselves why has this report being released now particularly as it's so short and describes this hypothetical situation. has been in sweden and last weekend it became clear. that two swedish women had come forward one of the was accusing him of rape and the other was accusing him of molestation and that rate has been dropped but we recently that this we just lost a piece of will want to question. about the molestation charge which is unless.

it's been suggested that this is a smear campaign following the afghan war diaries the noise of these two swedish women say that's absolute nonsense as do the two swedish within themselves but we do have to ask ourselves whether this report is being released now in order to deflect attention from. legal problems. one of ethic of jenna's way mouth and bending the truth about both the i think to the scenes how to get to him and. 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 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 wiki leaks selected 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. well despite grocott almost promise to close the guantanamo bay prison at the beginning of the year maybe two hundred detainees that were made as the claims of torture mistreatment and d.p.'s interrogation techniques takes a look inside the perth in a special report coming up in just over twenty minutes time. disarm saddam hussein

find these acts stupid even crazy but for those who take part of what's become internationally known as train surfing it's all about the adrenaline rush the great involves riding on top or at the side of fast moving trains clingy or 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 and that's just one of the dangers riders also risks feeling 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. but we mostly just ride the trains not pulling any crazy stunts and this is just a hobby of the guitar adrenaline. 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 corporate people skydive or climb mountains when we ride trains on the outside mean certainly there's a risk but we plan all our steps or if we know trains very well we're 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 the likes of andrei mit the activity has had tragic consequences for some. i have not read 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. regardless of the dangers this crater swept across moscow with the web swirling with uploaded videos meaning people like andre is likely to

now not content with provoking an international incident between russia and the u.s. so the tile on the chairman 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 her recent photo shoot on her facebook page. to the town. the name on a charm and that sticks out more than any of that she seems as synonymous with this big spy scandal and one of the reasons unavoidably everyone knows it's her looks and she has really. lies 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 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 hundred them to the nazis which the late enabled 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 fun tactical 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 now very much. in a second from international news briefly this hour and the u.n. he's reviewing security policies for its aid workers in pakistan after threats from the time. u.s. officials of militants plan to have time for is helping provide food relief some aid agencies into the delphi's and 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 assistance. three chilean miners trapped seven hundred meters

with a member of a different cost can find themselves rejected by both their community and family but this current thing reports more and more young people are trying to break with tradition. prakash and so in that i'm have upset their families but on into different castes they were expected to mattie one of their own but they have broken what is considered a taboo. an intercom 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 that the bridegroom is lower in status. the couple have enlisted the help of outsiders the ngo the unite humanity movement often beings within the caste marriages there have been more than one thousand two hundred such unions in the last decade in the be hard state. we want to discussed but a society based mindset and caste based discrimination a custom

person of her choice but if she is younger than eighteen then she has to behave according to her parents' wishes like. a divide is growing between urban and rural india in the cities divisions are now less important while in rural india many. refused to let go of their traditions. anybody marrying outside is cast as boycotted by us no one in the village gives the couple any water or food or even talks that if we find a marriage really offensive then we kick them out of the village but cost is just a creation of one's mindset there is no real hierarchy between people and situation the ration who considers caste and even if we do the next generation will definitely not even think of it discrimination on the basis of cost is in legal in india but in large parts of the country to remains the overriding factor when choosing a life partner the sooner this changes the sooner will divisions over cost lose their relevance here got unseeing r.t.
