around the world around the clock this is r.t. live from moscow the man are thought to be behind tuesday's attack on the chechen parliament that left three people dead is a new terrorist leader in the region well that's the view of the republic's interior ministry it's believed hussein wanted to show al qaeda that he's capable of leading militants he recently broke away from doc who model of one of the world's most wanted international terrorists our correspondent. has more. we're standing in front of the church in palm and that has been attacked by the militants three people were killed and seventeen injured as the chechen terror minister reports the man behind this attack could be her same guy kind of a new leader of the chechen militants and this is the way his show when al qaeda what he's capable off before her send her car was operated on to dock omar the notorious and most wanted criminal in russia don't call maher is the man behind moscow metro blast which killed forty people talk omar has been forced on the most

wanted terrorist list by the do or see just to remind you of the militants drove into the parliament parking zone killed a security guard opened fire and stormed the parliament the federal forces blocked the militants inside the building and the operation was success all militants were killed and this is how one could do a commented on the situation because just the police did a very good we sent teams of six people in there in fifteen minutes to kill all the militants they also evacuated all members of parliament from the building the whole area and right now is being cleaned and today the chechen parliament resumes its normal working hours and victims as far as we know will be receiving compensations from the state. trouble reporting now russia and nato should face their common challenges together german chancellor angela merkel praised president medvedev

decision to attend a key nato summit next month in lisbon artie's a cutter and out of a has been following talks between the russian french and german leaders in the french resort of w. singing from the same hymn sheet and all smiles at a summit in the french seaside town of deauville the leaders of germany france and russia were so keen to emphasize their newfound similarities they even spoke alike dialogue and operation verne ship they were not after concrete results rather the aim was to shape future relations and central to this was me the middle age of accepting an invitation to attend the nato summit in lisbon next month. we're happy dmitry medvedev will be taking part in the russian nato summit in lisbon that's because nato has a new strategic concept is aimed at cooperation with other countries including russia i think russia has confirmed that we have to fight against terrorism and nuclear weapons and i think we should tackle these issues together and not be

enemies anymore. this is significant because the summit in lisbon is a kind of milestone as the north atlantic treaty organization is rethinking its strategy for russia to be included in this process is a guaranteed sign of an integrity participation in the european union the true also drew attention to the format of the summit. i hope this cooperation format will be kept in the future. this is a very useful format which allows us to discuss all sorts of issues in a friendly and transparent manner. and the reason why so many are paying attention to it is because it isn't the first time france germany and russia stepped up to the plate together in two thousand and three they formed a coalition of the unwilling refusing to see. port the u.s. invasion of iraq seven years on they definitely have more than a hand in deciding the financial future of europe so a first glance the success of this summit in this quiet french city may not be

immediately obvious but the shift in relations is more than evident the french region where the summit was held is famous not only for its wine and cheese but also for its apples apple pie apple cider apple kind of all those all those things are made here in normandy and it seems to the perfect backdrop for russia and the european union to put away their apple of discord and enjoy a much more fruitful relationship. catherine as our r.t. friends. a top russian diplomat responsible for smoothing relations with europe says russia's relations with nato will thrive when cold war stereotypes are dropped the full interview is coming up in just over twenty minutes time but here's a brief preview. so we have a full fledged dialogue with nato there have been certain unpleasant incidents of course but today we have a common understanding of the fact that we have to move forward we live on the same

continent so we've been facing up to the same threats and challenges for quite some time that i think that nato has new strategic concept should be free from such a vista concepts perceiving russia as a possible threat of were hints about nato as a global role in the circumvention of international laws. the u.k. is to announce massive budget cuts expected to bring in. twenty five percent reductions for most government departments it follows yesterday's cuts to its defense budget worth almost five billion dollars that will mean that its nuclear deterrent renewal will be delayed and the army will be reduced the announcement follows similar calls from germany and france and has caused washington to worry over nato its capabilities but john stevens former conservative m.e.p. says these cuts show a new era of equality is coming for the alliance. the time when nato was essential

an american operation in which everybody else was a satellite i think is now over i think that's no longer financially sustainable for the americans and so what we're seeing i think in with the british move towards from in the nuclear area with the discussions between the french and the germans with the other initiatives in european defense to build a serious european pillar so that what they tell you this is a partnership of equals between europe and america the more europe here nato becomes the more favorably disposed it will be towards european affairs because certainly the french and the germans and i think the british too increasingly recognize that there is such a thing as you're a sure there is a europe here and russian defense interest but in a sense the time where we had a an old western the old east is over we have a new way in which russia is very much a part facing

a new east if you like which is the rise of asia the rise of china in particular. you are with still to come this hour a report from one of the global sex trade biggest heart. we have no work in our village i have two young children and when i was promised a job in mumbai i just. find out how these women became victims of sex trafficking driven into a life of misery and exploitation. and we visit one of the world's most polluted in the russian urals see if there's any hope for a cleaner future for the people. the early bird it may get the worse but it may be the wrong word to use found that the scramble by a twenty four hour news channels in the u.s. to break a story first soon seems them backtracking to get their facts straight. pretty mainstream cable stations two favorite words we're following some breaking news

important breaking news that isn't really news we're seeing or could it be something. what is this thing are words what we call a global killer could it be the end of the world. ok maybe a slight exaggeration but what the cable news channels do when it comes to breaking stories isn't much better you have to engage people and the way to gauge them is with six conflict and fear remember when the brooklyn bridge was shut down because of a suspicious package i would also point out that this news comes as we've also reported this other story today we don't know if there's any connection here but you know the news that the pakistani taliban wants to carry out an attack because the times square attack failed a potential terrorist attack oh wait five minutes later fox had this to say. moments ago we told you about the brooklyn bridge shut down in both directions because of a suspicious package well we have just now learned and why p.d.

has declared all clear apparently a false alarm hoops no big deal what could have been the pakistani taliban turned out to be a suspicious flashlight we asked a media expert christopher chambers to have a look they could basically create their own experts who can back up whatever sin threat of corroboration it is and then they link it to this story journalistically even at a twenty four hour news cycle that look it should probably be the last thing that they say and that isn't the first time mainstream news channels have used flashy graphics and dramatic music to convince us of imminent doom and danger remember the failed christmas day bombing attempt last year while as the situation unfolded fox claimed that there could be a second incident on the same plane and just as quickly as the story became a multi-pronged terrorist attack with multiple scary play. erith fox had this to say this was not a big deal the second source say it's

a sick passenger i think with fox it's about the balls it's about the hits on their website it's about the ratings the evolution of the breaking news story is so ridiculously over dramatize that it's become a laughingstock for popular comedic news stories that. just returned to fill twenty four hours of programming here so that happened somewhere today even members of the mainstream media have to laugh at themselves about the high news broke of a disturbance on board an airplane bound from washington d.c. to denver for that first hour or so after the news broke the story had a lot of worry in components early reporting was that a man from qatar a diplomat from qatar its embassy in washington had reportedly tried to light an explosive device from inside the plane's bathroom while it was in the air and of course after further clarification turned out the story went more like this the diplomat from qatar had not been trying to light an explosive device he didn't have an explosive device there was no explosive device on the plane he was however

apparently smoking in the plane's bathroom with a twenty four seven cable news cycle and channels competing for a dying viewership it looks like just about anything flies when it comes to a story. there are t. washington d.c. . now you can check out our website for updates on everything we're covering as well as expert analysis blogs and videos all that dot com and he's a taste of what's there for you right now. on the. underwear russia's most glamorous spy it gets hot for russia's prominent men's magazine not seen coming in from the cold. start new research suggests that unborn twins in the womb are making friends with each other as early as four and a half months into pregnancy.

india is working to combat a sex trafficking problem which campaigners say is the most rampant in the world thousands of girls from neighboring nepal the being brought to major cities like mumbai with promises of good jobs but they end up in brothels. reports. rush me may be young but she's gone through more than most girls her age to leave her village for the bright lights of mumbai only to find she was heading for life in a bottle he said he wants to reach my why did you go with them because i didn't want to he forced me to india is the epicenter of this extra freaking industry right now in the world and the reason is that there is no enforcement of laws against traffic pins and joins it's court more than a quarter of

a million women are trafficked in india each year some are as young as nine and come from the rural areas of neighboring heading for mumbai. by their parents nor are they had any idea what the real world is like the parents may know a little bit if television is in the village about what bombay is and to them bombay would represent a life state rather than a broad true it's easy to cross the border between india and if there are well established routes for trafficking in the northern state of bihar rescue groups keep an eye on the trains passing through they have identified who they believe are being trafficked and order them from the train but did not appear but when we ask youngsters where they are going they say they're going to study it for girl is travelling with the boy she says he's her father but when we demand there and density cards we see the aren't related to the two girls are questioned by the

local police but claim they are travelling to mumbai to work wise i'm not saying we have no work in our village i have two young children and when i was promised a job in mumbai i decided to take up the offer but. girls are misled by people offering them jobs in big cities we apprehend them and then hand them over to women's shelters there are also girls who are convinced they can be part of a dance group and are conned into coming to india. it's easy to convince young girls in a village hundreds of kilometers away that they can make it big here in mumbai but once your brothers they are condemned to a litle bondage now campaigners want to see villagers in a pod given more warnings of the dangers and the police more active in clamping down on traffickers. r.t. . all immigrants in germany should actively integrate into society that's what the german president has told the turkish parliament his statement in ankara. merkel's

comments last week that multiculturalism had totally failed it comes amid a rise of immigration issues in europe including a clamp down on roma migrants in france and swedish anti immigration party taking seats in the country's parliament former british m.p. keith best says that it's the germans who set the trend for movement of labor around here. i do not think people mean by integration that everybody should look the same they should the same. the same cuisine but they do mean that people should live in harmony with one another one of the problems one faces in most countries now have very mixed populations the result of globalisation much greater ease for people to migrate from one country to another not necessarily for temporary reasons but you've got to remember of course germany really set the trend a long time ago by bringing in the gas from turkey i mean these were people who were invited by the german state just as indeed britain invited many people in from

the caribbean in order to help britain and to do some of the jobs which british people would not necessarily prepared to do themselves. the issue of immigration is also the topic for debate in the latest edition of cross talk which you can see on r.t. in just over an hour's time. governments in europe in general are facing dire. economic problems and it's very easy in such a context to play on anti immigrant feelings within society and to conjure up the front specter of foreigners who are to be blamed for economic social and political problems when clearly governments are failing to tackle these very problems every survey in sweden shows that it's a huge cost even taking account tax benefits from immigrants and the immigrants

that i'm talking about it's not a western it's not no we are english or whatever it's mostly from cultural countries that are cultural far from sweden those so you are you're saying you're saying muslims right is that what you're saying and i'm saying i'm saying mostly from the middle east and africa ok well then just say by the way ok. we are coming to you live from moscow this is our two let's let's check out some other news in brief from around the world right now a million people that taking part in public protest in france demanding the government backed down to raise the retirement age from sixty to sixty two despite stretching into the seventh day president sarkozy remains adamant that the reforms must go through on its promise to crack down on troubled strikes or brought much of the economy to awful with long lines petrol and hundreds of flights being canceled

. part of a corrupt you have been effectively shut down day after attacks by gunmen left at least twenty five people dead it follows a wave of violence in the country's main economic hub in which more than fifty have been killed since the weekend the spate of killings erupted in response to a contentious election which some say was rigged. russia boasts lush nature and picturesque views but there's one place in the ural mountains where the landscape is very different it's the town of would choose one of the most polluted places on earth so forth reports on what's being done to clean up its environment and its reputation. it's a bleak sight that greets you when you're right in the small russian town of care about a legacy of environmental destruction once owned the title of one of the most polluted towns in the world its thing to a large copper smelter and

a century of toxic fumes and chemical waste left the landscape here devastated but it's the residents who have really suffered from the horrible cardiovascular diseases respiratory diseases in digestive system diseases are common in the world of oncological diseases here is rather high under new ownership since two thousand and three the plant has begun cleaning up its act to progress slowly. we immediately began renovation but you can see for yourself the problems that our company of inherited were doing a lot to preserve and develop but of course lots more still remains to be done. the snails was found it takes split the region's rich copper deposits and has contributed to the economic progress in russia if the last twenty years the price to pay for the economic boom has been enormous with the social and environmental scars. tall hills of black industrial waste surround the residence

a caravan when you're in the town the air quality is extremely poor. today the wind is blowing in a different way usually you can see your own outstretched arm because of gas concentration and people are being literally poisoned but the plant is the town's life when it was closed in one thousand nine hundred seven after being branded an environmental disaster say the town fell into poverty so it was a relief to the people here when it reopened even though residents knew the more of the same pollution and unhealthy working conditions they were at least able to provide for their families. if well this industry is really dangerous it's a rude everything the units often feel and all impurities come to tyrone on the other hand things did used to be much worse so there have been some improvements despite millions in investment to modernize the plant when we visited the working

conditions still seemed way fully inadequate at times we found it really hard to brave many of the staff appeared to be working with maybe the equipment whatsoever but there have been some successes here the waste they used to be dumped into the water has stopped and the company say that they're winning the battle to cut emissions and with further investment plans can care about now hate for clean a future where we are done with the plant we're going to turn the plant into a modern european type factory so everything you see around the plant soon become history. to the resident cat the mistakes of the past the time being remain ever present. karabakh. we are coming to you live from the russian capital of palestine over to korea for the latest news and hello to you hello to rory so it's a true the sales of poster citron junk ten percent and i was in

a rush or as i. the world was actually round the world but the company benefit from stronger sales in emerging markets like russia so i'll give you the figures about russia and just a moment but first the other stories shares in airflight have enjoyed a strong run up finance minister could insert the government should sell a minority stake in the airline but under copy of from things it's unlikely the government would be willing to lose control of the flagship to the private sector. it was a loss of control by stayed the course. so they will decide to sell it to stick. all of what you approach in there i'll share bold. in different industries it will states that last year to create is a. nail an industry you can go to. so i don't see a reason to change. and they're in. now let's take
