quality of the city's architecture. hello and welcome to the program this is our weekly review of our town main story this week the truth behind operation iraqi freedom was blown open with online whistleblower wiki leaks revealing a horrifying horrifying catalogue of over one hundred thousand deaths and widespread torture seemingly ignored by the u.s. the explosive revelations come from four hundred thousand files in the largest ever leak of classified american documents they include sixteen thousand civilian deaths including people whose fate was previously said to be a known but was the pentagon was secretly collating and knew about all along the files also reveal deaths of atrocities committed by the country's government against their own people while u.s.

forces turned a blind eye slash washington has failed to investigate numerous cases of civilian torture and killing the release has stirred up the already tense political situation in iraq as part of struggle to form a new government iraq's prime minister has claimed that massive leak is politically motivated the grass has also slammed the exposé saying it could in danger lies a national security power weaken leaks chief julian assange has told us here that revealing the truth about the war is vital to prevent such crimes from happening again. this is the most accurate description of a war that is being released into the stored record we see that. nearly no street corner in baghdad that didn't have a body found that had been killed through violence of one form or another for the everyday squalor of war of course for the people in baghdad and other cities in iraq was there every day life for use in the years and we need

to understand what the reality of war is if we're going to choose. to engage it in 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 stated reason that we would we be in the west. would clean up the government system of a rock introduce rule of law and prevent torture has completely failed. during that period of time lawlessness absence of rule of law and tree killing were much higher than they were on the side of the sane and now we are left with an iraqi government that commits torture. and you can

watch the full interview with journalist sondra now web page. and as the massive wiki leaks ground the headlines around the world experts have started analyzing the cage and as he spoke to brian becker the director of the anti war also coalition who believes those in the us who drove the war including former president george w. bush should be house to account for atrocities committed in iraq. 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

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 three people have died and at least seventeen have been injured in a failed terrorist attack on the parliament of russia's republic of chechnya this week in which three mentions also better themselves up gunmen try to storm the building in the capital grozny a special forces reaction quickly to policeman and dissident died before three minutes instead tonight at the explosives one of the attackers was a twenty two year old local and the police are now working to establish the identities of those who are there is much of

a hassle at parliament session was about to start in twenty minutes but instead of budget discussions chechen deputies faced gunfire and suicide blasts. 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 palm and conflicting reports emerged about the building being mined hostages taken and the following chairman been injured. 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 dechen as maher recalled every detail of the day. the probe resource running into the building and opened fire the gas crashed down on the person who was running last through. one of the militants blew himself up just beside as long backs window others were 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 special operation was quick in less than an hour while federal officers killed the militants. to militants who are in this building blew themselves up here when inside in one right here this place has become their final destination of. tuesday's attack left seventeen people in hospitals and three dead reportedly they said there could have been orchestrated by the new leader of the church and militants who seemed to prove to all qaeda what he's capable of acting in isolation from his former boss doc or morrow 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 cars blast uncovered in a ball carrier and many assess the nations of police officers throughout the caucasus this week many have once again questioned why this troublesome region has turned into a minefield terrorist organisations in afghanistan and pakistan. and other republics as the gateway into the bigger caucasus 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 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 to curb what tara i'm either my family for trayvon martin from grass. you're watching our city and still ahead they're

promised the world but up and brought. you this story is a den girls who end up in prostitution despite trying to seek a better future that's coming out of your violence class. this is over i guess they have a comeback. sarcasm film director sets out to show the wall the true face of his country satirized by the infamous make believe see the reporter and takes a few shots pasta while he's at it. france's witnessing its worst civil disobedience in fifteen days union leaders are calling for more channels trikes over the coming weeks in response to government reforms so far twelve days of protests have failed to stop a two year rise in the retirement age from growing i had demonstrators in says they'll step up the campaign that's already seen clashes with police arrested a new saying meanwhile authorities are trying to restore petrol supplies following fuel but hey it's crossed the country the government says that reform is needed to

rescue the pension system from collapse so many all new then not prepared to work for longer but as catherine outside of reports not everyone from the 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. you should in france there is a committee is just to avoid school it's like six years ago i made the same when i was in high school. i went to the strike because i can avoid.

the rowdy crowd shortly 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. this is one of the reform to. restore. system. restore. 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 is one of the lowest in the world countries also affected by the global financial

crisis like italy and spain have already increased there 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 who make the 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 protesting against the controversial pension reform over the weekend the city of paris is eerily quiet 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

our r.t.e. paris. and across the channel the u.k. is also bracing itself for a wave and rest as the country faces its harshest economic counts says the nineteen twenty million public jobs will be axed and benefits launched in a bid to reduce that massive budget deficit trade unions are calling for the biggest step adulterations in response but dr richard wellings from the institute of economic affairs says the government hasn't gone far enough i think actually george osborne should have gone further with the cuts 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 departments of facing very severe cuts but it is definitely part and let's not forget as well that every pound the government is taken from the

private sector in either types ational so you're not actually taking money out of the economy i mean we've seen huge number of job losses in the private sector during the recession and at the same time the public sites have expanded in pensions when welfare benefits went up so you need to really restore the balance in the economy and we've had a huge transfer from the productive private sector to the non productive public sector and this is very unhealthy for long term economic prosperity. just to remind you we got plenty more stories at our website. that some of it was. a test of catastrophic proportions find out what went well that the baikonur cosmodrome exactly fifty years ago without daily review of interesting about. it plus our correspondent brings as her account from a russian oxic expect a show not her travels on board a nuclear powered icebreaker with a polar explorer a blog from all that's on all.

russia will take his next summit in lisbon they announced it was made during talks between the russian french and german leaders in the french resort of g.i. bill aimed at bringing the you closer to the president's major that have said he hopes his presence at next month's summit will help russia and nato allies in problem areas and he didn't becoming part of the airlines as global anti-missile defense system german chancellor angela merkel intended to confront europe is considering russia's proposals for a new security structure for british. stevens says european difference is impossible without moscow's participation. things of common descent always since the cold war and i do think that the more europe here. becomes the more stronger

european pillow in nato is the more open it is going to be towards russia i think that particularly in germany and also in france but also i think in britain there is a recognition that defense of europe with russian participation is meaningless with the the challenges that you face from the far east in particular from the rise of asia economically strategically is the immense and russia has to be part of that even before we start considering the middle east and the crucial thing i think is that there is a merger an idea of a new way to be nato was defined as the list and russia and the warsaw pact as leaders of the east i think there is now in a sense because of the rise of asia there is a new twist which includes russia. and because the challenges that we face and the shared interests that we have russia europe and the united

states when faced with the prospect of the enormous shift towards the far east towards asia towards china towards india. that has really changed the world and it is it is reacting to that but i think it has led to a much more positive attitude toward particularly the europeans and russia but also i think the americans are not to be excluded from that. expert at moscow washington relations victor crimean you told us a better new security arrangement is needed to unite russia with european states as currently nato merely divide them you can watch the full interview next hour but he is approaching. war 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're 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

it's quite self-sufficient in military terms it doesn't need nato and its guarantees a totally different system should be created there we have our views which our president has set forth however the west has so far been cautious. the hot seat at moscow city hall has been filled by the fast known muscovite mess in soviet times surrogates have been in her comes from an oil rich region and siberia has a ready outlined his top targets to be tackled including disastrous traffic jams and a high level of corruption. that has more than one. surrogacy beyond and is the new man about town approved by the city's roommate he's in a near unanimous vote mossies new massa be on and use his inauguration to set out his political roadmap there was also a thinly veiled swipe at his preacher sesa. tackling corruption and red tape as

his point was that the. reduced ones late it's actually alice that but it's all seem or. at least two people have been killed and nineteen injured by a car bomb in northern iraq the blast went off in the parking lot of a medical facility in the city of la saw police are investigating to see if a suicide bomber was to blame security officials said another tuck is likely to have removed civilian vehicles from the area. as a cholera outbreak continues to spread throughout haiti with over two hundred fifty already dead five cases have been reported in the capital however the haitian health minister believes that the infections will continue death rates should begin to slow down and over three thousand people have been struck by the illness across the caribbean nation officials are scrambling to keep the outbreak from reaching the million and a half people living in camps after january's massive earthquake in which three hundred thousand died. the stampede at

didn't want to you force me to india is the epicenter of this extravagant industry right now in the world and the reason is that there is law enforcement of laws against traffic. and joins it's top more than a quarter of a million been trafficked in india each year some are as young as nine and come from the rural areas of neighboring heading for mumbai. neither the parents nor they have any idea of what the real world is like the parents mean or little bit if television is in the village about what bombay is and to them it would represent a lifestyle 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 the have identified who they believe are being trafficked an order them from the dream but. when we ask youngsters where

they're going they say they're going to study if your girl is travelling with the boy she says he's her father but when we demand their identity cards we see the aren't related to the two girls are questioned by the local police but claim they are travelling to move to work. 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 you're older brothers they're condemned to a litle bondage now campaigners want to see villagers and given more warnings of the dangers and the police more active in clamping down on traffickers god and
