10:02 pm
the truth about the who is vice how to provide 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 is being killed through violence in one form or another but is it every day squalor of war of course for the people in the. other cities in iraq was there every day life for use in 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
10:03 pm
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 rule of law and prevent torture has completely failed. during that period of time lawlessness. absence of rule of law and the tree 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 on our website. as the masseur we kill a grabs the headlines around the world x. plus have started analyzing the huge archive he spoke to brian becker the director of the antiwar answer coalition who believes those in the u.s. who drove the war including former president george bush should be held second for
10:04 pm
atrocities committed in iraq. the police force is 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
10:05 pm
hope that there will be a massive global investigation for prosecution of george w. bush for war crimes. moving on now 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 and which three militants also believe themselves up armed gunmen tried to storm the building in the capital grozny but special forces reacted quickly to policemen and civilians died before three militants detonated their explosives one of the attackers was a twenty two year old local and the police are now working to establish the identities of the two others. the following session was about to start in twenty minutes but instead of budget discussion of church and deputies faced gunfire and suicide blasts and silver would see 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 bottom and conflicting
10:06 pm
reports emerged about the build in being mined hostages taken and the following chairman been injured that will go a bulldozer they came to this corner a supply manager was coming from over there and they shot him he's. walking across the parliament area codes as long as maher recalled every detail of the day. he probably source running into the building and opened fire the gas crashed down on the person who was running last through are going to one of the militants blew himself up just this side as long backswing do all those who are trapped inside the parliament. our president ramzan can do was hear from the very first giving command 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. quote noir could talk to. two militants who are in this building blew themselves up here
10:07 pm
one inside and one right here this place has become their final destination of the contras some of them 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 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 us maybe 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 cause blasts ungovernable korea 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 and terrorist organisations in afghanistan and pakistan. and other republics as the gateway into the bigger caucasus and fold expansion into europe
10:08 pm
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 pavement 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 also is only forgotten and the security measures in chechnya have been tightened joined international efforts to can work tara i'm either my son literature or our team from grass. the washing out here still ahead it's either policy or toxic pollution gauge how long one of the most polluted towns in the world ask some tough i think their health to provide for their families so don't miss that coming up later. and bringing you the stories of indian girls hand up and prostitution despite. trying to seek a better future that's coming up in a few moments. france is witnessing its worst civil disobedience and
10:09 pm
fifteen days a union leaders are calling for more general strikes over the coming weeks in response to government reforms so thought twelve days of protests have failed to stop a two year rise in the retirement age from going ahead demonstrators a says they will step up a campaign that's already seen clashes with police arrested three saying meanwhile authorities are trying to restore petrol supplies following fuel blockades across the country the government says the reform is needed to rescue the pension system from collapse though many argue that not prepared to work for longer but it also has cancer now it's not over for now everyone in front 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 protest in paris are first and foremost a personal distraction so using the. headquarter
10:10 pm
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 a committee is just to avoid school. 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 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 the. system. of the economy as well.
10:11 pm
as the koreans 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 the who chose the deputies and members of the senate to make the laws are not made in the streets laws are drafted and approved not by revolutionary. the my way or the highway philosophy certainly attention grabbing but who will back down first is still
10:12 pm
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 oppose being made to work two extra years but they're not about to protest it on their legitimate day off kashrut as r r t paris. and across the channel is also bracing itself for a wave of unrest as the country phrases as harsh as economic cost of nine hundred twenty s. off a million public jobs will be axed and benefits slashed in a bid to reduce the massive budget deficit trade unions are calling for the bigger effort demonstrations in response. but dr richard weddings from the internet of economic affairs says the government hasn't gone far enough. i think i actually george osborne should have gone further with the cuts let's put it into perspective
10:13 pm
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't allow an economic growth being strong for next year when really the only departments are facing very severe cuts but it is definitely patchy and let's not forget as well that every pound they get in this is taken from the private sector in either types ational borrowing 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 of expanding and pensions when welfare benefits went up so you need to 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. and just to remind you of got plenty more stories at our website dot com so that's how it is
10:14 pm
with my to catch your eye online. test launch of catastrophic proportions to find out what went wrong and that by going to exactly fifty years ago our in our daily review interesting about it from prostitutes. and also our correspondent brings us her account of the russian expedition on her travels on board nuclear powered always break up with the polar explorer about her blog for more that's on the seat of. critics of the german chancellor a recent negative birds' eggs on multiculturalism have called it a cheat but i want to school support from the right angela merkel told the youth group of her christian democratic party that the multicultural model of society had
10:15 pm
utterly failed and she said immigrants needed to make more of an effort to integrate to society the comments come just after a survey a survey showed that about thirty percent of drivers think that country is overrun by foreigners but somehow expose believe that their rise internationalism is just a red herring the growing economic gap. 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 willingness by most migrants but you know a lot of things that divide communities are not actually along ethnic races for linguistic lines they are the usual traditional lines like poverty and access to
10:16 pm
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 the indian population do a lot of that is because these people tend to be at the lower end of the social spectrum they're very often without work they're in poor housing so the relief of poverty is a major contribution trying to achieve social cohesion anybody who wants to see social cohesion and i hope that's the majority of world minded people will resist any rise of nationalism heavens above if we haven't learned the lessons of extreme nationalism from the last century then we really are doomed to relive the lessons of history again. the hot seat of moscow city hall has been filled by the first not most guys mass and study at times sergey said bannon who comes from an oil rich region in siberia has already outlined his top targets to be tackled including
