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 hot summer which allows mosquitoes to build up a high level of the virus there is nothing we can do to totally wipe out this interaction 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 so steered 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 same 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 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. 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 the containing hot weather has allowed the infection to breed we had more aggressively among mosquitoes doctors say the worst people season has not peak and of all claim many more victims before leveling off in october. see volgograd. you know with

good to have you with us still to come in the program. from spy suspect to celebrity on 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. wiki leaks is back in their head lines are publishing a classified cia report but with the documents failing to live up to its hype and with the site's founder currently under investigation of a sex abuse claims it's. whistleblowers pursuing a secret agenda more of it how the details. 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 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 civilian casualties. casualties whereas this is an internal cia document describes a hypothetical situation which looks at 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 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. you may remember from november two thousand and eight when a man called david headley who was the pakistani american. and he took part in this is a valence needing up by bombings which killed more than one hundred sixty people that 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 last weekend. that he's we this woman has come forward one of the was accusing him of rape and the other was accusing him of molestation and rape charges being dropped but we can see that the sweetest prosecutors will want to question gina songs about

the molestation charge which is a lesser charge it's been suggested that this is this may campaign following the afghan war diary the lawyers for these two swedish women say that's 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 jena ologies legal problems or critics say what he needs is nothing but a propaganda organ life nation under its founder a simple called in the whale. it could just be a front organization and he could just be not the mastermind but he is made out to be by much of the media maybe not even the founder of wiki leaks who knows sometimes they say it was founded by chinese dissidents whatever that's supposed to mean. but just kind of a he's just kind of the front man just kind of a mascot and actually into we know war about him. for instance about his eye teeth competence does he does he have the skills to develop this supposedly

wonderful system for uploading leaks securely which by the way is not currently working. into we know more about him i think the most plausible hypothesis is that the guy is just kind of a front man i think there are very very serious questions to be asked about the motivations of the group and even what is the group the point is we know nothing about wiki leaks and until we know more about them we really don't know what they're up to. well despite i broke a promise promise to close the guantanamo bay prison at the beginning of the gear maybe two hundred detainees remain algy claims of torture mistreatment and devious interrogation techniques he takes a look inside the president and a special report coming up in a full twenty minutes time disarming saddam hussein. to give iraqi citizens. disappear 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. believe. it is appropriate to that accordance this would just be case if he did even. if a slap stomach slap if you can. so that it shocks them especially if you go to sleep but you don't actually break any bones could deter a geisha techniques that we. are approved by the senior leadership of our government. we believe.

now the russian president's orders an inquiry into the investigation of the death of a high profile lawyer while think over the last year thirty seven year old said a gay man needs died in jail in the autumn whilst awaiting trial for tax crimes his supporters blame prison officials who they claim to not have the medical attention he needed when he fell into the international lawyers association last month pleaded with me to be dead 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 in the highly dangerous activity of training riding on the outside of carriages fall on you grieve that means the young people who are willing to risk their lives. 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 the danger of boldness 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 a 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 we're getting again when we mostly just ride the trains not pulling any crazy stunts this is just a hobby they get our 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 i don't see why this is street sport is being seen differently

to other widely practiced pastimes of 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 the likes of andrei mit 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 meaning people like andreas are likely to keep turning to the tracks for the next buzz regardless of the ultimate price they might pay jake agrees. just remind me of gold so many

stories along website for you all of dot com that we feature various guys function columns and even space blogs for the political view just at the minute or russia's figure skating rink if you shake a may. pigs although he is continuing to train so find out what he was punished for . and singing in the rain for fear it will fall from down the first russian homes the wrong moscow tens of thousands of fans walking to the legendary irish but. not content with very king an international incident between russia and the u.s. firm to tell of the chapman is back in the news now of the face of the recent

spying 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. 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 bulge chick 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 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 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 now very much. some international news in brief you this hour an hour the u.n. is reviewing security policies for its aid workers and. after threats from the taliban u.s. officials have warned that militants planted too it's not forward as helping provide food relief some aid agencies that hinted that downsizing relief lesions might be necessary that could be a big blow to the seventy million pakistanis affected by the flooding in need of assistance. thirty three chilean miners trapped seven hundred meters underground received oxygen food and water supplies and out with messages from their loved ones officials say it could be christmas before a hole is drilled to get the matter out anxious family members have set up a makeshift camp at the site where the miners that been stuck in the sun is

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 that the bridegroom is lower in status. the couple have enlisted the help of outsiders the ngo the unite humanity movement often deals with him because marriages that have been more than one thousand two hundred such unions in the last decade in the be hard state. we want to discussed based society based mindset and caste based discrimination a society can only be brought about by intercourse marriages and into religious marriage just the work and she looked ten years ago the not chickens father filed a case of kidnapping against her husband and still refuses to talk to the couple.

my family allowed me to visit them only after seven years but not with my husband and even now if i do visit my father doesn't speak to me she is still angry with me . the police in bihar are increasingly dealing with aidid families and young couples in love a kidnapping case has been filed against twenty two year old. formatting teenager a new comedy impulse and we are seeing many cases such as these with both the boy and girl wanting to get married if the girl is above eighteen years of age the law recognizes her decision to marry the 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 gas divisions are now less important while in rural india many. refused to let go of their traditions

going to 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 illegal 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. india. all that brings you all today with all the data back with the headlines at home now fidel a member of the european parliament claims the e.u. is the results or that the u.k. should quit the union he spoke with aussies in london.

today i'm talking to gerald batten who's a member of the european parliament for london he's with the u.k. independence party which is a euro skeptic party and he's recently announced his intention to stand for leadership of ukip gerald batten thanks very much for talking to r.t. you're welcome just but you won't write one small point in your introduction you describe this as a euro skeptic party that's not true skepticism implies some doubt we have

absolutely no doubt one hundred percent that membership in the european union is bad for britain so we're not skeptical about that and one of the key tenets of your opposition to the european union well first of all it's it's an economic and democratic disaster first of all there is no reason for the european union i mean the white soul was sold to people forty years ago and has been ever since is that we must have it to try and jobs we don't need it for trade jobs even the even the european union as it's backed down from what we need is trade with europe and the rest of the world friendship and cooperation we don't need to be members of this vast bureaucratic organization in order to achieve that the other thing is the loss of democracy which although membership the cost us billions of pounds every year which is why state money was actually worse than that is our loss of democracy the germans calculated in two thousand and six that about eighty three percent of new laws now come from the european union not from their own parliament and in this report. i question whether germany could be really cool functional democracy

anymore because of this it's equally true for the u.k. similar target qatar the country eighty percent of our laws now come from the institutions of the e.u. which is not democratic and the european union has this ambition to become a super state to rival united states and i think it's a very wrong road for us to go down and britain should leave as soon as possible and we are living in a globalized world there is it possible for the u.k. to just step out of the but what does that mean what are the global laws will means it's much easier to get on an airplane now and go anywhere you like very quickly which is one of the reasons we have such a problem with uncontrolled immigration that kind of globalisation it's a reality that doesn't mean to side that you have to sacrifice your independence and so government governance in the modern world in fact quite the opposite i think the problem with the modern world is that people are losing their control over their elected representatives and their governments and we're becoming less than mccracken i think necessarily bad things you have said in the past that the e.u. is in a legal state can you explain what you meant by that yes because under the lisbon

treaty it basically became the constitution of the european union we have a constitution in this country written down in different places like for example the sixty nine hundred nine bill of rights which says that they solve is the is the form of all power and the sovereign cannot acknowledge a higher power now whether you're a monarchist or republican it doesn't matter that's our constitution what we did with the with the with the lisbon treaty is we acknowledged that officially a higher authority the union for example now has a legal personality has only come by treaties on its own so that in fact means that britain we are living under any legally constituted government talk to me about their legal integration taking place in the e.u. particularly about the european arrest warrants european arrest warrant is the first part of the process whereby we are integrating our legal systems with those of the european union and of course i want you to remember. the anglo-saxon common law or model adopted by the united states in canada and sex in countries around the

world is completely different from the continental napoleonic system now under our system you have to be charged with a specific offense but police have to gather the evidence before you're arrested goes to a trial we have high abuse corpus all these things that we take for granted on the continent you can be arrested as a suspect you can spend a year eighteen months in prison while i investigate the case before i even bring it to court against you now under the european arrest warrant we got rid of all the safeguard now if you are required for extradition under the european arrest warrant the court deciding on that has really little power to refuse it now what's also in the party line is things like be european investigation order to go back coming along with the trials in absentia which means that anybody can be tried in a in a european country not even particularly aware that this trial is going on they are supposed to let you know but let's say they can't contact you could suddenly find the british police turn up on your doorstep they were arrested you they will

exploit you many by gary any country in the european union and you will go straight into the prison system and the legal system will protect and of course all this is going to be presided over by european public prosecutor europol which very insert interestingly in its charter has complete immunity for anything or its offices have complete immunity for anything that they do or anything that in the course of their duties now even the n.k.v.d. in stalin's terra didn't have that protection against against recourse if they did something wrong technically anyway but this is what we're lining up for ourselves and we are destroying our own legal system and you know you kipps party spokesman on immigration what's your view on a cap on emigration it's nikkei immigration into our country has been out of control for a very long time now purely on on the numbers basis we are one of the most about the most densely populated country in europe we all want. the most densely populated countries in the world if you actually look on

a league table and yet our population is set to grow from sixty two million currently up to seventy million within the next twenty odd years and thereafter up to eighty eighty five million exponentially it is absolutely absurd to have effectively unlimited uncontrolled immigration into this country we have anyway from within the european union where we can't stop people coming even wanted to and we don't really control it from outside either a recent report has shown that with a cap on immigration british companies might find themselves sort of workers particularly as some immigrant workers are more highly skilled than that but his counterparts what do you say to that oh yes i mean i know quite a lot of foreign people specially come to work in the harley qualify the got a great work ethic they're lovely people but if you look at the number of jobs created in the economy ninety eight percent of the jobs created since labor came to power in ninety seven up until last year went to migrant labor now how does it benefit your economy so you drive wages down for indigenous people you poor housing

prices up toby what is actually worse off in the long run and of course big business loves. immigration because they get cheap labor that's what they want what we would introduce would be. very very limited immigration permanent settlement and i've suggested a figure of no more than fifty thousand a year and even that could be revised down but people could still still come to work on a job permit basis for one to three years if we can't fill that post with an indigenous work and at the end of that process if the person wanted to become a british citizen why would have a right to apply for citizenship on the very on the you know the annual limit that we would allow in for that purpose thank you very much. there conduce childhood was overshadowed by this tragedy. these two feel the
