elections a fresh wave of violence has flared here to stand a mob stormed the half waters of a leading political party in the capital bishkek it followed a protest staged by relatives of those killed in riots that rocked the central asian country in april and toppled the president they were angered at alleged claims the party was intending to reinstate the ousted president sunday's vote will create the region's first parliamentary democracy but it comes just three months after a deadly ethnic conflict in the country south igor percent off reports from the volatile area. this woman asked us not to reveal her identity she says it's still not safe just like many others in the ethnically divided city the lost everything. being forced to survive taking any work they can fight. us then there is no stability there is still tension no one trusts the government

and how could we off to what happened there is a vast who could already left others are looking for ways how to get out burnt down shops destroyed pharmacies and abandoned cafes are a common sight in a second largest city in june it fell into complete chaos armed gangs mainly young men destroyed shops set cars ablaze and burned down houses officially hundreds were killed several thousand were injured by the time the country's interim government managed to take control of the situation mobilizing the army for months on be a quarters are only now beginning to recover. everything was burned here everybody's fleeing abroad to look for jobs but we must rebuild before it's called construction is being carried out with the sounds of political education feeling in the streets like the rest of the country is getting ready for the parliamentary election for arabs from the twenty nine. are spread both in the me and the curious

populated areas and here this is one of the districts of the city as you can see it was almost completely destroyed by the violence and a similar picture can be seen in a dozen other parts of the reconstruction here is in full swing despite the lack of money and people and for most of the locals this is a race against time to rebuild their homes before the bitter winter hits and that for them is a far greater importance than any election. state funding is very limited if in fact there is a need many local see the only hope they are getting is from the red cross. road one hundred people do just all together in this push them to just do so called charge for the work program to produce our own. we're putting them on a decent officially over three thousand businesses were affected by violence mean

if you're more unrest is ahead some say they've been getting s.m.s. messages calling on them to ignore the vote the parliamentary election was announced six months ago after president. and his government were all through thousands of protestors of the opposition to control of the country many analysts say the interim government has so far field to provide the needed stability especially here in the self where most of the voters don't know what each of the twenty parties even stands for is going off or d. or. coming up later in the program here in r t a journalist murder still unsolved four years after she was gunned down activists demand russian police do more to find the killer of cosco. and russia's new high tech so his rocket is ready to blast off into orbit find out how to caring for a flight to the ice says that's on your way. the u.s.

my claim to be a champion of freedom of speech but not it seems if it's coming from russia iran venezuela or china they have the media organization which oversees america's international broadcasting says it must up as game to combat the rise of what he called autocratic t.v. stations including this one kind of to count as more. it's a common belief on capitol hill that the best way to raise money from congress is to scare them walter isaacson the head of a government agency that manages u.s. international broadcasting apparently wants a lot of money the cost to fight america's enemies in the media which he identifies as he ran venezuela russia and china we can't allow ourselves to be out communicated by our enemies there's that freedom house report that reveals that today's autocratic leaders are investing billions of dollars in media resources to influence the global opinion you've got russia today iran's press t.v.

venezuela's telos and of course china as a launching international broadcasting twenty four hour news channels correspondents around the world spence portably set aside six to ten billion dollars we got to go to capitol hill with that number to expand their overseas media operations to me it sounded like a declaration of information war but later mr isaacson backtracked i don't take a russia or r t as an enemy and certainly did not mean to imply that they were an enemy so that's just not right maybe mr isaacson really did not mean to offend russia or china it's all a pitch for more money from congress which he's trying to kind of appeal to by saying that other countries are spending more on their international communications gear is really the buzzword that's used to try to generate money for the defense department a cia intelligence agencies and now for international broadcasting but getting the

u.s. message across this costly there goes that mr walter isaacson is heading is called broadcasting board of governors it includes radio stations voice of america one of them and they're fairly unpopular middle eastern t.v. channel on all this the board spends more than seven hundred fifty million dollars and it's why. they more than the budget of r t iran's press t.v. and as well as their list or combined so maybe money does not really make up for global media clout mr isaacson says that it's truthfulness that will make the difference and in the and the truth is on our side and it's that statement that raised the alert with some freedom of speech advocates somebody who says that truth is always on the united states side is a propagandist and not a. journalist and i think that's bad it's a bad example for other countries when that when they say that because obviously other countries have their perspectives many times u.s.

media is slanted toward the united states even the private media and the credibility of the broadcasting board of governors was under even more scrutiny when reports came out about the white house influence on the b.b.c. reporting after iranian presidential election and some experts say american broadcasters that once used to be a powerful voice in the international media are now facing a crisis the problem that they are facing is that the messages they have. called the world are supposed to work is not resonating it's not. getting traction it seems washington is still getting used to the increasing volume for media voices giving a fresh perspective on world issues going to shut down our t. washington d.c. . r.t. dot com has a lot more in store for you twenty four hours a day but here's a taste of what someone. catches a man will now have to pay thirty five thousand dollars if they want to snatch a bribe players not only can damage the age old tradition but draw up

a punishment including a fine and jail sentence for anyone that carries it out. can it sir no ordinary bikes these russian students are taking out for spare to race to space as a ten year science for a vehicle that can be paddled on the moon or it can also add to our team. russian investigators are seeking more time to probe the murder of journalist anna politkovskaya she was gunned down in her apartment walk in moscow four years ago made her reputation reporting on the lawlessness in russia's southern republic of chechnya her family and human rights activists have hit out at police for not doing enough to find her killer boyko reports. dennis makes no secret that he dislikes journalists to intrusive too simplistic to manipulative and the statute is quite typical according to polls at least a third of russians distrust what they read in newspapers or see on t.v.

the most fuel of journalists and i'm tired of going over things that have no impact on society again and again ironically it was a journalist that helped him find justice in two thousand and one he was badly bitten first by thugs done by the russian police to whom he turned for how and when it seemed that everything in his country had failed him one reporter came to me it was on the political screen. tragedy was widely publicized in news papers and on t.v. but only anna politkovskaya touched upon the real life problems of the people she wrote about strong psychological pressure from the north originated the attempt to open criminal cases against us no journalist is willing to take the risk. of bringing those things out to the public i say that is based on my nine year experience with that story in the norway guys the other eventually how danny's to win a case against the russian federation and the european court of human rights one of

many that political scares mark recchi reporting had led to. a journalist who deals with people's pain as part of their job and tries to actually help people rather than just reflect their stories should not be something out of the ordinary and his main goal was to help people not just write a piece about them. while she's often credited for a kindle in people's faith in justice four years later politico's because only murders still remains and punished russia's investigative committee says the kids is very challenging but the search for the killers and masterminds is still ongoing because his daughter who over the years has grown a striking resemblance of her mother says the family is still hopeful when asked what my view was still have hope of course but the way the investigation is going and the way the trial went we can tell that the investigators haven't made much

progress i can't see anything that would indicate we're getting closer to the truth they don't believe it has also become a journalist but she admits that her dedication to the profession is no way near her mother's there is number one priority is your four year old daughter anna. people who knew on the political station had zero tolerance for their families and official them and she continues to describe them even after her death take this plot for example it was not to do the english leave the issue with cuba in violation of. the behavior of such commemorations within five years of a person that there are less got the shows have few reasons to appreciate her reporting and i would be legal grounds to remove it but god is still here a tribute to her life and a condemnation of could be. a little bit artsy moscow. the future face of russia's arsenal is taking shape a state of the art intercontinental missile has been successfully launched in

a project that's been marred by previous costly failures the boulevard was fired from a nuclear submarine in the white sea and it's the thirteenth time naval ballistic rocket has been tested with only five previous launches proving successful the missile has a range of eight thousand kilometers and can carry up to nuclear warheads. time now to take a look at what's happening elsewhere in the world and officials say the chemical sludge from the spills hungry that left four people dead and over one hundred injured has now reached the river danube which triggered fears of pollution could reach six countries including gracious serbian romania. have already opened a criminal investigation into the ecological disaster a state of emergency was declared after the chemical waste burst from the reservoir it's expected the cleanup will take at least a year. and these forty tankers carrying fuel supplies for nato forces have been destroyed in two separate melton strikes in southwestern pakistan here the latest

a very calm and quiet way so i think we're going to have a. very good working relationship board the space station because we. have i think the same temperament all three of us and amazingly scott will have family coming to visit him on his mission his brother mark is also an astronaut and will lead the last u.s. shuttle mission to the i assess to be the first twins in space we occasionally flown together in the maybe as a test pilot but before that i think we always work at a dairy queen we were twelve years old mop the floor for the last year the last job we really had that we work together this lonely launch platform in the wind blast to does it might seem like an odd place to pursue the most advanced of human endeavor but for the past fifty five years it's been doing just. this rocket looks on the outside much like the first launched all those years ago but after years of
