joshing a russian artist has strapped himself into an electric chair and has asked online us to vote on his fate allegro ramadi who lives in self-imposed exile in bulgaria is known for his controversial public stance and this time he says he's electrocution experiment is meant to highlight censorship issues in russia and i find some of the images in this report disturbing. oh it's just a leg moton bowtie has just been hit by a six hundred thousand volt shock this happens every time one hundred people on the internet vote for him to receive a massive electric jolt anyone can vote you'll do this every night for a week or until he is hospitalized at the new board that sort this is a test of how sometimes he interprets freedom do they want to use it to save or to kill me this is a lot about our society my remarks he says his electric shock treatment is symbolic of what he calls the pressure of artists specifically says ship of op vocal

religious minority. ten years ago he shot a radical film in which he was authentic we crucified. i'm not the son of god seven inscription on his back. a prominent orthodox christian youth organization and russia sued him for inciting religious hatred and knew this was the position their people had the right to be protected from having their beliefs insulted the man deserves punishment all they feel for him now is a pity he's crazy. that a moment not about to did not wait for the court decision and fled he's now living in exile and bulgaria no. i paid a high price i am separated from my homeland but if i'd gone to prison i would have paid an even higher price those people have tried to destroy me it is just my view . we have laws that protect religion on the one hand and laws that protect

individual's right to freedom of expression caught between the two bills which were to lick was accused of committing hate crimes that i think is wrong with you. since it's crucifixion performance dozens of other artists have been fined and have their shows closed most after mass destruction by christian groups are disclaimed the russian state and also censorship from the new i believe that would happen to a leg is really unjust our society is intolerant and these aggressive religious groups seek out things to be offended about. mathematics says he has no fear of death or thousands of responses for him because no one should be driven to suicide by religious fanatics says well why are you giving people on the internet the power to decide your life and there's lots ability for your death so as another it would be fun to see someone die suggest someone else a legacy fighting what seems to be a worthy aim now he didn't get injured today but the funny thing happens to him

over the next week. everybody involved in the story will be able to use a figure of c. sofia bulgaria and coming up sick of all things so obvious it was a georgian government wants to ban decades of the country's history some say it's only trying to draw public attention away from the problems of today. fears republicans will try to repeal president barack obama's health care law have risen following the u.s. midterm elections democrats lost control over the house of representatives and will now struggle to implement a reform whether congress meets in two thousand and eleven arches lauren lyster has been talking to a nine eleven hero for whom a new health care system is the only hope to stay alive. new york for. the big apple it's the city that never sleeps and just beyond the urban chaos. neither does kenneth george from one of the most. deer in his

closet and you can see why here's a quote here kenneth is a sick man and despite appearances the photos with us politicians in plaques from the president recognizing him as a hero in the aftermath of nine eleven act around zero here's a letter from the president obama he still can't afford his health care rather than medications i'm eating probably. you know it's expensive his insurance fall short which means every month you have to pick and choose what ailments he treats this is what i do a lot of times i stick with the course here to help me breathe at night and i skip some of the other medications my sleeping pills to help me sleep even without sleeping pills he hasn't slept well since nine eleven a city employee working on highways he was drafted into the search and rescue team in the aftermath of the attack on the twin towers basically picking up human remains and searching to see what it was or why the aftermath for him has been forced early retirement in a fixed pension basically a kick you know and

a cut in health care which puts him in a deadly dilemma forced to make possibly life or death decisions because of the chronic diseases he suffers arising from his work at ground zero i really got a foot in the grave because of the heart and lung disease that i did was get punished for the sake of doing my job down there the kind of case is unique in that he was a nine eleven first responder grim statistics show he is not alone in the united states now ranks forty ninth in the world in overall life expectancy this is a drop from twenty fourth back in one thousand nine hundred nine it put that behind countries such as south korea bosnia as well as bigger opinion yet the prime reason for the decline researchers say it's america's deteriorating health care system with a growing number of people who are uninsured or underinsured so how well the course is about people just like kenneth i think that insurance companies make decisions that are not necessarily towards. the betterment of the patient but

some of his patients are even worse off than canada if they don't have insurance that means it's all out of pocket a lot of these people are not working there's a lot of problems and i think the president has tried. to repair a system that's out of whack you as president obama's health care reforms might. help someone like kenneth but there's still lots of red tape to be faced with insurers and now the reforms themselves are under threat from a house now controlled by republicans who vowed to overturn them but as the politicking goes on kenneth still needs his prescriptions for a way to get paid. for these uncovered and he'll still be forced to make desperate choices on which ones he can afford and which ones he can't this in the richest and largest economy in the world in a country where he was praised as a hero by its president but that won't change his grim reality his prognosis as

well as of his nobody knows. but just like the city that never sleeps kenneth george may not ever either who's going to take care of my family when i'm gone and even if his family does no one is resting easy concept that right now lauren this year r.t. new york and over one hundred iraqis are demanding a public inquiry in the u.k. over claims they were systematically abused by british troops between two thousand and three and two thousand and eight the allegations include torture of sounds read of probation and being stripped naked so shy are a lot of the lawyers in the case gave r.t. an example of what his clients had to go through him. but. usually with someone who's new one o'clock two o'clock in the morning the door is exploded twenty soldiers rushing in. the car often rifle butts huge sometimes whoa dude sometimes the women and children are abused in two

current system the government is just trying to show the west they belong that. aside from making everything hammer and sickle related illegal the plans would also tighten control over money transfers and anyone receiving more than thirteen thousand dollars must name the source of that income. is not to say we're basing a total control of this money transfers. overseas you don't only from russia. money with. the straight goods tools at the time the turnaround regime. who knows if georgia's parliament has its way the two of the old soldier a soviet symbol in itself could soon to be outlawed it's been almost two years since a world war two monument was controversially destroyed in a controlled explosion and the way it's looking right now georgia's government is not just rewriting history but on wiping it out altogether its business in georgia
