so we can review here nancy and horrifying chronicle of over a hundred thousand dives and evidence the us ignored widespread torture in iraq as the weeks website blows up at one hundred thousand six hundred in piles in the largest urban league of the us and part american the. two policemen under civilian die in the terrorist attack on the parliament of the russian republic of chechnya but three militants also blowing themselves up in the fall the civil. rights economy in europe by the government cost cutting as french here it begins a battle to fight on over president sarkozy's bill raising the age to sixty two while their british counterparts warn of massive demonstrations against savage spending cuts. under near the moscow the new man on the system called shortcomings of the previous sitting old regime such as disastrous traffic

congestion corruption and on top of the building owning this city has been telling . hello and welcome to the program this is all she's a weekly review i muted of our main story this week the truth behind operation iraqi freedom was blown open revealing widespread torture in terms of thousands of civilian deaths kept under wraps by the pentagon and the brutal details and four hundred thousand secret u.s. military files released by online whistleblower we could leaks the largest number of u.s. classified documents of an leaked a death toll of over one hundred thousand dead revealed with almost seventy percent civilians as a teacher as statistic the u.s. had previously denied knowing but to wish the final shadow it had been creating all along and they start out. they already terrorist political situation in iraq as

part of a struggle to form a new government iraq's prime minister has claimed the massive leak is politically motivated the us has also slammed exposé saying it could endanger lives and national security however wiki leaks chief john an associate old are saying 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 historic record we see that is nearly no street corner in baghdad didn't have a body found that had been killed through violence in one form or another but is it every day 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 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 up arar introduce remove law and prevent torture has completely failed. during that period of time lawlessness absence of rule of law and arbitrary killing were much higher than they were under saddam hussein and now we are left with an iraqi government that commits torture. and you can watch the full interview with julian assange engine our website on c dot com. and as the massacre wiki grabs the headlines around the world experts have started analyzing

the huge archive also you spoke to brian back at the direction of the anti war as a coalition who believes those in the us who drove the war including former president george w. bush should be held 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 fails terrorist attack on the parliament of russia's republic of chechnya this week in which three mentions also blew themselves up to gunmen try to storm the building in the capital grozny but special forces reacted quickly to a policeman and the civilian died for three minutes instead connected the explosives one of the attackers was a twenty two year old local and the police are now working to establish that identities over to god it's. a parliament session was about to start in twenty minutes but instead of budget discussions church and deputies faced gunfire

and suicide blasts and silver 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 problem and conflicting reports emerged about the field in the mind. hostages taken and the following chairman been injured there that will go. 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 beckoned as maher recalled every detail of the day. the that he probably source running into the building and opened fire the glass crashed down on the person who was running lost through our going one of the militants blew himself up just beside us long backswing do all those who are trapped inside the parliament. our president can do was hear from the very first moment giving commands he was afraid there would be victims on our side. of

the special operation was quick in less than an hour while federal officers killed the militants. two militants who are in this building blew themselves up here one inside and one right here this place has become their final destination the. 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 hussein 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 least 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 an attack in a central market and logic of course blasts uncovered you know about korea and many assessing nations of police officers to the caucasus this week many have once again

questioned why this troublesome region has turned into a mine field terrorist organisations 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 but the fact that militants is a liberal into the government's 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 by terror i mean by the my family for trayvon martin from grass. this is our chance to learn had the promise of the world but end up in a brothel bring your words of intent gals who end up in prosecution despite trying to seek a better future that we have predicted but. this is over i guess. actually

it's not. country but find out how to rio as our film director has turned his lines of borat setting out to the region cold if they continue to try to keep up with a central asian nation. france and britain are in the throes of public unrest following severe government measures seeking to revive their economies british trade unions say they're preparing for massive demonstrations as the country faces the harshest spending conses world war two across the channel france has seen the worst civil disorder. union leaders say they'll be more strikes of a president sarkozy's plans to rise the retirement age to sixty two which is so however one of the lowest in the world so far twelve days of christmas have failed to stop the bill from. the government says that change is vital to the country's budget deficit and for its financial future of those on the streets say the plans

are an attack on their basic rights and as also has cancer in the us out of a reports not everyone in sympathizes with the protests. the young smart and ambitious lucy is splitting 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 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.j. should in france there is also like 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 strays because i can avoid.

the rowdy crowd surely give off a celebratory vibe singing dancing and shouting but while they're spending day day after. 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 reform to. restore the. system. requirements 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 and the reason for that a very prosaic one the french people still being made to work two extra years but they're not about to protest it on their legitimate day off kashrut as are r.t.e. paris. and tomas day from

a group which promotes the role of you thing european society says students who joined the demonstrations are more concerned about the unemployment rate in the country rather pensions. the bold to call context is very very specific in france today and basically most of the protestations are not against the reform system it is on the one hand on the other hand it's against nicolas sarkozy. attitude in general i don't think the young people that are in high school are worrying about their pensions really they are worried about their future. because you know that in france we have a very high rate of unemployment for young people it's twenty three percent the age of twenty five so it's very important and we have a general problem of sharing the jobs offering opportunities. just to remind you all got plenty more stories as our website r.t. dot com that's kind of like a child like tech you know you kind of traffic promotions find out what went wrong

on the back of your calls in a crowd exactly fifty years ago now a danger of you know we're trusting about some positive. and our correspondent brings us harrick out from a russian arctic expedition her travels on board a nuclear powered icebreaker with an exploration check out a blog called. russia will take part in nations next summit in lisbon and their announcement was made during talks between the russian french and german leaders in the french resort of g.a.o.l. aimed at bringing moscow and the closer together president medvedev said he hopes his presence at next month's summit will help russia nato find compromises and problem areas he didn't rule out moscow becoming part of the alliance as

a global anti-missile defense system german chancellor angela merkel in town confirmed europe is considering russia's proposals for a new security structure and former british euro m.p. john stevens says the european defense is impossible without moscow's participation . things of common descent or with the cold war and i do think the more you're appear. becomes the more strong a 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 do 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 emerging an idea of

a new where i mean nato was defined as. and russia and there was a pact perceived as the east i think there is now in a sense because of the rise of a shura there is a new way to 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 towards particularly the europeans and russia but also i think the americans are not to be excluded from that. and an expert on moscow washington relations victor crimean new told r.t. that's a new security arrangement is needed to united russia with european states as currently

nato merely divides them and you can watch the full interview next hour but here's a preview. for 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 it's quite self-sufficient in military terms it doesn't need nato and its guarantees a totally different system should be created that we have our views which our president has set forth however the west is so far been cautious. the whole seeds have moscow city hall has been filled by the fast non moscow wide u.s. and soviet times sergei sabbaton who 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 also his allies have it has more on their mind in his plans . surrogacy beyond and is the new man about town approved by the
