1:03 pm
hello this is r t thanks for being with this is now nine o'clock i'm kevin now in with our review of the week and the main story the all my whistleblower wiki leaks gave its voice to fifteen thousand iraqi war dead. previously unaccounted for the website published over a third of a million secret u.s. documents on iraq the files also reveal details of atrocities committed by iraqis against their own people while u.s. forces turned a blind eye it's alleged washington has failed to investigate numerous cases of civilian torture and killing baghdad is since vowed to bring the supposed iraqi offenders to justice but the u.s. to slam the release saying it could endangered the lives and national security chief julian assange told us about the revealing the truth is vital to prevent such crimes from happening again. this is the most accurate
1:04 pm
description of a war that is being released into the historic record we see that is nearly no street corner in baghdad didn't have a body found it is being killed through violence of one form or another but is it everyday squalor of war of course for the people in baghdad and other cities in iraq was there every day life for years and years and we need to understand what the reality of war is if we're going to choose to engage in it and i mean it's clear that the reasons for getting into this war the weapons of mass destruction and so on this is a clear lie there's no debate about this anymore the second most reason that we would we be in the west. would clean up the government system up arar
1:05 pm
introduce rule of law and prevent torture has completely failed. during that period of time lawlessness absence of rule of law and killing were much higher than they were under saddam hussein and now we are left with an iraqi government that commits torture. well this is a short clip from the full interview the julian assange gave to us and you can catch it on our website if you haven't already. comb more of his wiki leak i spoke to brian becker of the director of the anti war and soko nation he told me he believes u.s. officials should be held to account for atrocities committed during the war in iraq 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
1:06 pm
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 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 and more of a top stories from the week terrorists attacked the parliament of russia's republic
1:07 pm
of chechnya killing three and injuring at least seventeen terrorists tried to storm the building in the capital grozny but special forces reacted quickly want to attack it was killed in a shoot two others blew themselves up one of the militants was a twenty two year old local when the police are now working to establish the identity of the two others. apollo one session was about to start in twenty minutes but instead of budget discussions church and deputies faced gunfire and suicide blasts and for that let's see if it all started here these gates colleague was driving through they followed his car and shot at the security guards. soon after the militants stormed the church and column and conflicting reports emerged about the building being mined hostages taken and the following chairman been injured in the. they came to this corner a supply manager was coming from over there and they shot him he felt. walking across the parliament area colleagues as long back and as more recount every detail
1:08 pm
of the day. the probe resource running into the building and opened fire the gas crashed down on the person who was running lost through a growing one of the militants blew himself up just beside as long backswing do all those who are trapped inside the parliament. our president runs on can do was here from the very first moment giving commands he was afraid there would be victims on our side the room the special operation was quick in less than an hour while federal officers killed the militants. quote. the two militants who were in this building blew themselves up here one in science and one right here this place has become their final destination. mr tuesday's attack left seventeen people in hospitals and three dead reportedly they said there could have been orchestrated by the new leader of chechen militants who
1:09 pm
seemed to prove to all qaeda what he's capable of acting in isolation from his former boss doc omar of himself on the most wanted list in both russia and the u.s. may be launching his own war in the caucasus militants have been extremely active in russia this year twin blasts in moscow's metro and attack in a central market and logic of course blasts uncovered general caria and many assessing nations of police offices throughout the caucasus this week many have once again questioned why this troublesome region has turned into a mine field terrorist organizations in afghanistan and pakistan. and other republics as the gateway into the bigger caucasus and fold expansion into europe so in this context the ongoing war in afghanistan could have disastrous consequences all over the world and what was seen in grozny it's actually one of the consequences of instability in the whole region the works of the terror attack have been quickly removed from the pay rent and walls of the church of parliament

1:10 pm
but the fact that militants is only broke into the government building in the heart of grozny well this all is over forgotten and the security was intense and i have been tight and joined international efforts the can but i don't buy the line at some literature art scene from grosse. the head of the program there promised the world but they often end up in a brothel find out why some indian girls get due to their pursuit of a better future we got our stories coming up here on our see just a few minutes time. first of france's witnessing is worst ever civil disobedience in for. fifteen years union leaders are calling for more general strikes over the coming weeks in response to government reforms so far twelve days of protests have failed to stop or to rise in the retirement age from going ahead demonstrators insist they will step up a campaign now that's already seeing clashes with police arrests and looting meantime authorities are trying to restore petrol supplies following fuel blockades
1:11 pm
across the country who government says the reform is needed to rescue the pension system from collapse but many argue they're not prepared to work for longer but. reports next most everyone in france sympathizes with the protests. the young smart and ambitious lucy is slipping her time between a master's degree and working for a large international company for her the recent protests in paris are first and foremost a personal distraction so i'm using the. headquarter of my company yeah it's it's longer according to trade union officials in france over three million people took to the streets across the country but people like you see no the numbers don't always reflect reality t.v. in france there is a committee is just to avoid school. like six years ago i made the same when i was in high school. i went to this race because i can avoid.
1:12 pm
the rowdy crowd certainly give off a celebratory vibe singing dancing and shouting but while they're spending day after day protesting a reform that is aim to aid their country their very actions are doing serious damage it's basically this is one of the reforms that. restore. the balance in the public pension system that will raise the potential of the economy as well. the numbers really speak for themselves france has a huge foreign debt the fourth largest in the world and unlike in the united states there is no board advertising the numbers also unlike the united states where there is no annual paid leave the french enjoy the longest paid holidays thirty days a year their retirement age which is what the people are protesting about this time
1:13 pm
is one of the lowest in the world countries also affected by the global financial crisis like italy and spain have already increased their say but with less widespread opposition from the people so are these protests a true sign of a democracy or simply a force of habit. we have to say to the french people that is they who chose the deputies and members of the senate to make the laws laws are not made in the streets laws are drafted and approved by revolutionaries. the my way or the highway philosophy certainly attention grabbing but who will back down first is still anyone's guess throughout the entire week this street outside the french senate was filled with hundreds of angry citizens are testing against the controversial pension reform over the weekend the city of paris is eerily quiet and the reason for that a very prosaic one the french people still oppose being made to work two extra years but they're not about to protest it on their legitimate day off kashrut as r
1:14 pm
r t. and across the channel the u.k. is also bracing itself for a wave of unrest as the country faces its harshest economic cuts since the one nine hundred twenty s. off a million public jobs are said to be axed and benefits slush in a bid to reduce the massive budget deficit trade unions are calling for the biggest ever demonstrations in response but dr richard world economic affairs says the government hasn't gone far enough. i think actually george osborne should have gone further with the curse let's put it into perspective by two thousand and fourteen fifteen overall government spending will only have fallen by about three percent so this is actually a very tiny cut so i think you should have gone further he's relying on economic growth and rising tax revenues to make the bulk of the deficit reduction and he actually this is a big gamble because we can rely on economic growth being strong for next year when really the only person departments are facing very severe cuts but it is definitely patchy and let's not forget as well that every pound the government has taken from
1:15 pm

germans think the country is over run by foreigners but many experts believe it's an economic rather than cultural gap that is dividing people right now. integration has to come from both sides there has to be a degree of reception from the point of view of the host community to show a welcoming welcoming attitude towards people but new immigrants to a country need to learn the language i mean most of the people i meet in britain are desperately keen to learn english because they know that's the only way they can really carry on in this country and i'm sure the same is true in germany so there's usually a willing this by most migrants but you know a lot of things that divide communities are not actually along ethnic racist or linguistic lines they are the usual traditional lines like poverty and access to the labor market and things like that i mean we have in the u.k. a pakistani population that it has not integrated nearly as well for example say
