this is also you coming to live from moscow to tell main story a stunning during the litany of killings summary execution and torture there the contents of almost four hundred thousand secret military u.s. files which lay bare the truth of the iraq war whistle blowing web site wiki leaks has published the largest ever leak of classified american documents along with the death toll statistics collated by u.s. officials but with the country which the country had to prove publicly denied existed and that has more from london in the report with pictures you might find disturbing. the files contain evidence of nearly a hundred and ten thousand violent deaths that took place in iraq in the years between two thousand and four and two thousand and nine two thirds of them it seems from these foyles that's around sixty six thousand deaths were the deaths of civilians during this combat half of those were killed by the iraqi insurgency and hoff it seems from the documents were killed by troops in military action the us
9:04 pm
always said it's the weak which is what's interesting about this that it wasn't keeping that record of civilian deaths when in fact it turns out from these files that the u.s. military was keeping a very detailed record of what was going on in some of these files contain the names of all of those civilian people who have died at the location the exact timings of the deaths and of course they haven't been released into the public domain before but now there's been a press conference here in london this morning releasing these details and at that press conference with wiki leaks founder julian our soldiers and he talked about that famous quotation that truth is the first casualty of war as far as what the results of today's leak will be it seems that that will be some legal action that will result from this one of the organizations that which leaks has cooperated with in the release of these documents is something called public interest lawyers they are dealing with allegations from iraq he's a british and u.s. forces torturing them in iraq and they say that that will certainly be
9:05 pm
a legal case to answer as a result of this my colleague paulus leah went recently to fill a job which was the subject of huge military action in two thousand and four and she filed this report about the plight of ordinary iraqis. his friends were outside fighting for the board on a football pitch he's here in the family tent fighting a cancer that's eating away at his head and stomach. i collected splinters of the rocket after exploded whoever showed them to said they were american and contaminated pet. and. after the shrapnel struck sixteen year old malik's head a tumor appeared while his father lost a leg in the attack and also the family source of income as a taxi driver. i wonder if there are any weapons they didn't use against us we all can terminated sometimes i can hardly breathe. iraq is listed with buildings
9:06 pm
like that's that used to be the headquarters of saddam's secret police in two thousand and three several jodan rockets hit it the full effect of those weapons is still being felt today. u.s. marines first bombarded flew just six years ago it came after four employees of the american security company blackwater were killed and their bodies burnt and reports show that after the eight month standoff higher rates of cancer leukemia and infant mortality were found here than in hiroshima and nagasaki after the atom bomb drop in world war two we found that the infant mortality rates compared with egypt. jordan about four or five times. about ten times if you take a country who. you know. in the last few years hundreds of deformed babies have been born into looters general hospital doctors dubbed them the white phosphorous children. between the late ninety's and two thousand and three we had patients with
9:07 pm
nervous system malfunctions roughly three times a year at the moment we gave them three such patients a week. this child was born with one eye and with not a single day going past without a new case being registered more and more doctors here are pointing a finger at the united states. american combat operations caused environmental pollution both the us and british sides admitted that they employed banned weapons . dr abdul al floozy is also a father or at least he was until a year ago when his twelve year old son died of cancer most parents leave their babies in the hospital they're scared by the way they look these babies are doomed to die and die they do far from the eyes of the world because while flu just streets my today be quiet the city remains cut off from the rest of the country doctors here say they're under pressure to keep quiet. r.t.
9:08 pm
iraq the u.s. has criticized the release saying it could endanger the lives of security personnel on the ground but wiki leaks founder julian assange said it revealing the truth was vital to prevent such atrocities from happening again spoke to him in london. this is the most accurate description of a war that is ever being released into the historic record we see that is nearly no street corner in baghdad that didn't have a body found that had been killed three violence of one form or another but this is every day squalor of war of course for the people in baghdad and other cities in iraq was their everyday life for years and years and we need to understand what the reality of war is if we're going to choose
9:09 pm
to engage in it and for the food and for the full interview with the found a whistleblower we kill a slogan to our website r.t. dot com. run back the direction of the anti war also a coalition of the united states is directly responsible for their trials that is committed in the iraq war. the police forces an army that were trained by the americans who are allegedly the protectors and guarantors of iraqi freedom engaged in systematic torture abuse rape and it was unreported in unpunished by their masters by the u.s. trainers so i think there's no reason to think that this is an ongoing as a result of these revelations the un chief investigator for torture for instance has called on barack obama to investigate those in the u.s. military and civilian government for criminal acts against the iraqi people if the u.s. takes now actions to repress wiki leaks it may very well backlash backfire and instead
9:10 pm
of repressing them and intimidating them and their supporters create a groundswell of worldwide support for them the people want justice they want the truth i think the biggest obligation is for the american people to take hold of this information about what their government did in their name with their tax dollars and with the blood of their young people against a nation that was at peace with them in two thousand and three when they invaded i hope that there will be a massive global investigation for prosecution of george w. bush for war crimes this is the kind of expanding the you know passage. of millions of americans are very frightened of the state of the u.s. economy more and more u.s. citizens are trying to escape into the world and. some of the americans are using superpowers to struggle with the parts of the global down. the script could draw treasure hunters a long time ago and actually over the years part of the temple was destroyed for move as they use the asian students to decorate their home and they'll displace

them to protection find out the construction and some chickens help and covet the ruins of a nature to the language to have been lost. governments in france and britain have the fight on their hands with mass opposition to their plans to deal with their aging economies british trade unions i gehring up for their biggest ever demonstration against bland spending cuts while french strikes against president sarkozy's pension bill raising the retirement age to sixty two show no sign of abating no sign of reports from us. as the saying goes two things in life are certain death and taxes some french people however would like to add another certainty to that their belief that they can force their government to reconsider its radical pension changes that's despite the fact the plans to increase their time age from sixty to sixty two have already
9:12 pm
been approved by the senate. we're out here showing our dissatisfaction because personally i am huge demonstration shoulder to shoulder with people who are younger than twenty five or twenty six years old but still have the same attitude to the problem but while these people fight against what they believe to be a grave injustice they're very struggle has brought one of europe's most famous cities at times to a standstill a beautiful apartment in the heart of paris is anyone's dream but what if getting that dream became impossible through no fault of your own what of getting your apartment done on time depended not on you not on your workers not on your construction or anybody involved but on people standing outside in the streets. victor has his own successful construction business he prides himself on his fast
9:13 pm
skilled work but recently his projects have fallen behind schedule through no fault of his own. i'm sick and tired of all these strikes and protests the people who really want to work they just work unlike protesters who are interested only in demonstrations i'm personally not interested in victor isn't the only person feeling this way we ask everybody to just to just. just presence of the people and just trying to to. the country to the economy. we don't want them to block. in one thousand nine hundred five the french people managed to derail through protest a previous attempt to change the country's pension system however it appears they've not got a choice critics of the unions who led the charge against sarkozy's pension plans say it's now time to step back and consider the ongoing protests hurt small and
9:14 pm
medium businesses the engine of the country's economy while those who are in charge in business and politics in the run up to the financial crisis that brought about the pension reform continue to thrive cash renos r r t paris. and of course you can have your say on the story at our website aussie dollar home and see what else is just a click away from here on our way. to the big spenders and they simply kira's check out the pulse goes minute fad when you can pick up items like seem to cause an diamond encrusted saucepans wonder how that could be used for cooking poor if it can be scrubbed clean. and also ten american silent movie it's still to have been lost forever toggery mashed in russia have been presented as a surprise gift to you eyes for all the background go to our set up on.
9:15 pm
a u.s. proposal to impose restrictions on exports and boring has run into opposition to g. twenty meeting in south korea japanese german and russian of representatives have criticised the proposal as a form of planned economy investment strategist peter schiff told all say that washington is actually to blame for gracing the global economic conditions and they've been a necessity tides such constraints the policies that we're pursuing here in america are exacerbating the very imbalance that is that the treasury secretary claims he wants to rein in you know the biggest offender is the united states because we're the ones that are spending so much we're borrowing a tremendous amount of money we're importing all these products around the world running these horrific trade deficits and early account deficits and what are we doing with our economic stimulus the stimulus is designed to get americans to spend
9:16 pm
even more money to drive these global imbalances to an even wider well we do need to reduce global imbalances but to do that america needs to save more america needs to produce more and we're not going to do that with the current policies in place we need a totally reversed. we need to shrink the size of our government we need higher interest rates in america not low interest rates we need to encourage people to save their money not go deeper into debt and so we can address the imbalances but to continue these failed policies and try to blame the rest of the world for what is inherently an american problem makes no sense and while g twenty leaders are brainstorming on solutions to the global recession many americans prefer to put reality on hold as the threat of financial nightmares continues some new yorkers are scaping to the world of comics all season if the situation hustle. for two years now the world economy in the u.s. has turned into an ocean of horror from many how do you scape your fears by saying
9:17 pm
employed what if you get fired what are you going to do i'm screwed while some have been choosing humor to fight off the frightening reality are you afraid of a double dip recession sounds good others ways a little less legal are you afraid of the economy. what do you do to escape reality . i sit in my room and i smoke a lot of weed but many are choosing something completely different as millions of americans are very frightened of the state of the u.s. economy more and more u.s. citizens are trying to escape into the world of fantasy welcome to comic con the world's biggest gathering of comic book fans and side fi lovers do you feel like this costume protects you from the woods of the u.s. economy. pockets and keep my money inside somebody's pocket r t tried on the gear to test its superpowers yeah i definitely do feel very protected from everything
9:18 pm
can't really see much but it would save several thousand people gathered on a weekday most these people i think if it was the unemployment office with computer games some dancing. and imaginary battles it's easier to forget that an economic crisis is spread across the country where all of these people doing here i mean last i checked today is a work day. it's like. two pm and say how are we turning into a superhero for a day what is your main. weapon than i am carol i've got big hair. and enjoying feeling like a child i day everyone i have a great be and i am their kind of crazy with the possibility of a double dip recession just around the corner it could seem trickier. to lure comic book shoppers in. but the world of fantasy is far from scared of losing its
9:19 pm
customer what are the most expensive and the cheapest comic books you're selling today well i had some three dollars to take that number thirty seven is. the last everyone before robin came along at sixty eight hundred dollars but it could take both spider-man and superman with some more help from his girl to pull the u.s. economy out of its recession so that affording something like that would not just seem like magic to most americans and. new york. let's change gears now one policeman has been killed and at least twelve people injured by a suicide bomber and russia's southern republic of dagestan the blast went off at a checkpoint as that target attempted to drive his car into a police station the violence follows to the towel peroration by security forces in the north caucuses this week in which four militants were killed and despite authorities efforts to crack down on terror the region remains volatile. a group of militants wearing explosives attached to one compound in western afghanistan after
9:20 pm
firing a rocket at the entrance to the facility a suicide bomber blew our big aids following three other gunmen to enter and all your own staff have been accounted for but three are going to guards who were injured in their assault the taliban have claimed responsibility. for a cholera outbreak in haiti that has killed over two hundred people and infected around two thousand more has reached the capital city of port au prince doctors warned that it could spread further especially to areas with limited access to clean water and they also say that neighboring dominican republic should be alert to risk officials fear the outbreak could reach the one and a half million people living in camps after joining the reason massive earthquake destroyed their homes and killed around three hundred thousand. that's so true powers forward with its olympic preparations the massive construction works also revealing the russian city is ancient parts archaeologists are hailing the
9:21 pm
discovery or an eighth century temple which has been uncovered during building work for the twenty fourteen games he's done his little skit visited the site of that remarkable discovery. it could be a scene from an indiana jones movie archaeologists try to solve the secrets left behind by architects of an eight century temple these ruins in the mid to low until the caucasus are considered among the most prized discoveries in the area but you. just take a look at how good these pipes are they almost didn't break when they fell down it appears that they were embedded in the wall so that the fireplace could be spread around so now we'll be able to put the pieces back together and see how this heating system works when lehman was picked as a construction site for future olympic venues for the sochi winter games in two thousand and fourteen almost every corner was carefully surveyed and that's when this part of history was discovered this script could have been brought by
9:22 pm
a treasure hunters a long time ago and actually over the years part of the temple was destroyed by locals as they use the ancient systems to decorate their homes nell displaces under protection or a month says it wasn't a problem to convince construction companies to save the unique site but would like to turn this site into an open air museum to make it accessible for cultural tourism it's important that it will be inside the olympic park which is one of russia's vital territories we hope it will be visited by people from all over the world smaller findings from the olympic park like these bronze age artifacts from now on will be on display in sochi is historical museum that it's the first psychological project of such a scale in saatchi and it's selling pickup aeration is that made a savvy possible undoubtedly archaeologist on site would have lost this monuments forever with a limbic construction called steam ahead we organize or say they're doing their best to save the region's reach historical heritage. so in two thousand put
9:23 pm
a team which will be so rude to them as the year of museums the seeding may see not only the grand opening of stadiums ice rings but also newly discovered landmarks like the christian sanctuary in the bay to all and those boards are sochi now exclusive interview in just a moment covering russia's chances of joining the world trade organization nature's future and u.s. strategy in afghanistan they use a victim criminy a deputy director of the u.s. and candidates to chat at the russian academy of sciences here in moscow next hour .
9:24 pm
less of a disagreement thanks for being with us today so what do you think has changed in a way russia and the united states see each other in the light of the so-called recess of bilateral relations. well i think that the main change is that both sides have decided that they should improve their relations there was not such an impression under the former presidents what about the proposal itself to reset relations with russia and the united states does that mean that the u.s. policy towards us was initially wrong you know it means that the state of relations
9:25 pm
was wrong it was to blame it's hard for me to say who's policy was right or wrong. pressure has condemned the tough sanctions which the united states has hinted laterally imposed on iran can russia count on support from major developing countries or couldn't find itself isolated. no. brazil is joined dialogue on iran's weapons the brazilian president has been to turkey they understand that nuclear weapons can play a negative and destructive role if it gets into iran's hands everybody understands that the iranian regime is rather radical and infected with elements of extremism. the appearance of nuclear missiles in iran's hands may certainly provoke a crisis and urge some countries for example israel to retaliate with a nuclear strike on iran all that nearly to a war which hardly anybody wants that's why the fact that iran may create nuclear weapons is a source of great attention for russia and the united states that is is that when russia refused to deliver they asked three hundred systems to iran in compliance
9:26 pm
with nato sanctions to what degree are in a collecting our own interests and counting on reciprocal steps from the united states more involved of course we can and we should the main thing now is to build all possible bargaining on a.m.d. and possibly north korea into the reset concept some kind of an idea to this effect should emerge. in recent years native's expansion to the east has been the biggest problem in relations between russia and nato yes now the political course in ukraine has changed and at this moment this question is closed as nato exhausts its expansion potential. now the let's begin from the fact that nato is a past matter it has no future today we should think about european security in a different way we should switch over to other forms of interaction between russia and the western community we are trying to pave this way while nato is dividing europe and russia for various reasons it's unlikely to join nato it's too big and
9:27 pm
it's quite self-sufficient in military terms it doesn't need nato and it's guarantees it will be very well to do without them but it means that for a certain period of time of europe is going to be split into nato members and non nato countries namely russia that's going to create unnecessary tensions therefore i think that the very decision to expand nato was poorly thought through that's not very reasonable in its time when they don't do you think rush hour will make it into the w t o obama's term considering he said he would make it his priority to help russia in this issue that was then to. russia should certainly become a w.t.f. member has become an active player on the world market even though we get only one percent. this is a huge amount dozens of billions of dollars but as nonmembers of the w.t. oh we have to bear all necessary expenses which of course is a hindrance in my opinion this is a more serious matter than just an economic issue we are quite capable of paying
9:28 pm
but we see it as discrimination this is an attempt of keeping russia in the waiting room for as long as possible. does that mean he believe obama's words are part of a game of standards. from the b. show clinton bush and all other american presidents promised us removing that amendment but it hasn't been removed so far perhaps it's the us congress that is determined not to remove it i don't rule it out as the majority of the u.s. congress is extremely conservative including many neoconservatives this means we have to look for other solutions like forming our own trade zones and agreeing with particular countries on a different regime unilaterally but that's all right we'll survive send ago we have already signed a strategic arms reduction treaty is it possible the senate will fail to ratifying start three. this possibility has been discussed perhaps i'm being too rational but i don't think so. this treaty meets the interests of the us as well it isn't about making unilateral amends for russia this treaty is well thought through and
9:29 pm
balanced it's a kind of tree where even a simpleton would see the balance it's presented in numbers that can be literally touched but it has no unilateralism this treaty obviously meets the interests of the us but fortunately such issues aren't always up to reasonable people but to all reasonable as well. consequently if this would be considered obama's failure and a sign of the personal dislike republicans have against him. you're absolutely right this certainly has nothing to do with attitude towards russia they're used to us by now if. if a number of those willing to humiliate him exceeds a certain level then the ratification wouldn't happen and. obama is losing his score unfortunately his popularity is dropping evidently when he was running for presidency they had overrated expectations of him then they were expecting him to perform a miracle which never happened things of this. well he has to fill some election promises he was tortured for.
