safe just one by trauma an ordinary mosquito is enough to put a life in danger hundreds involved region i've been hospitalized with the worst. initial symptoms include high temperature headaches and nausea followed by seizures unconsciousness and there. the situation is grave as 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 the sometimes your good dog can has survived infection but his central nervous system has been damaged he has problems remembering his age and address warm. period when i felt myself slipping away i don't remember how the ambulance brought me here. 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 one. the west nile 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 outbreak in volgograd was recorded only eleven years ago this year has already seen the highest number of cases where 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 a little boys 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 yet more aggressively among mosquitoes doctors say the worst people season has not peak and all claim many more victims before leveling off in october.

still to come in the program. from spy suspect to celebrity and the chapman capitalize on her newfound fame with a photo shoot. love knows no boundaries young people in india are trying to break the tradition of. wiki leaks is back in the headlines after publishing a classified cia report but with the document failing to live up to its hype and with the site's founder currently under investigation. claims it's lead to accusations that the online whistleblower is pursuing a secret agenda nor emmett how can you tell. there's been much less of a media florrie surrounding this than there was the beginning of the month when the afghan war diaries were released and i think there are people who reasons for that one because. it was seventy five thousand separate documents that came from inside the u.s. military and such
3:06 pm
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. saying is that the afghan war concrete evidence each of these documents was called the evidence of events to take place the civilian casualties. casualties where is this is an internal cia document describes a hypothetical situation which looks at 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 works is much less than the impacts of the afghan war this report takes

a couple of examples of u.s. citizens taking terror abroad it 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 meeting up to the mumbai 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's so short and describes this hypothetical situation. has been in sweden and last weekend it became. that two swedish women had come forward one of them was it seems that he was great and the other was accusing him of molestation and rape charges being dropped but we recently that as we just lost a piece of will want to question. about the molestation charge which is unless.
3:08 pm
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. when in fact it generates way mouth and beneath the truth about to the scenes have yet to 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 those documents 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
3:09 pm
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 wiki leaks selected this document looking for a big publicity run but i don't think they have this got the same reaction any have received in the past. no spy broke a promise promised to close the guantanamo bay prison at the beginning of the year navy two hundred detainees that remain as the claims of torts a mistreatment and interrogation techniques else he takes a look inside the prison in a special report coming up and i was talking. to saddam hussein.

transparency. well the russian president's ordered an inquiry into an investigation of the death of a high profile lawyer while in custody last year thirty seven year old gay and magnitsky died in jail in the autumn while awaiting trial for tax crimes his supporters blame prison officials who they claim denied him the medical attention he needed when he fell ill international lawyers say station last month pleaded with him in bed of to punish those responsible. now as trains rush so does the adrenaline for a growing number of youngsters in russia they're taking part of the highly dangerous activity of train surfing riding on the outside of carriages. greens that meet the young people who are willing to risk their lives. some would find these acts to fit even crazy but for those who take part of what's become internationally known as train surfing it's about the adrenalin rush the great involves riding on
3:12 pm
top or at the side of moving trains clinging all 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 feeling 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. with the enemy we mostly just ride the trains not pulling any crazy stunts this is just a hobby the gigs are adrenaline. and as if that wasn't there enough to even take you to riding the metro just to get their daily kicks to the show men is also
3:13 pm
become a form of expression and they don't see why this extreme sport is being seen differently to other one. the practice pastimes of the corporate people skydive or climb mountains but we ride trains on the outside mean certainly there's a risk but we plan all our steps if 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 the likes of andrei mit the activity has had tragic consequences for some but. have not made 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 crisis swept across moscow with the web swirling with uploaded videos meaning people like andre is likely to keep turning to the tracks for the next buzz regardless of the ultimate price they
