russian icebreakers have begun a rescue operation for the first of a fleet of ships tried by ice some of the country's far it's caused some type of people are believed to be stranded in this awful a day with weather conditions worsen a. crossing the line in cyberspace considering the army's trying to control its military leaks and return to one generation of soldiers supposed sick with contacts and pictures on social networks. on the washington certain standards of billions of dollars of road to maintain its denniston experts say much of that money would

be better spent at home. news from russia and around the world this is all to see with me us our thanks for joining us one of the fleet of vessels stranded also russia's far east coast is at last being towed to safety but the remaining ships will have to wait for a few more hours the vessels have been locked in ice for days in the bay of so highly and with some five hundred people on board all she's not telling the vicar now reports. three vessels were stuck in the ice on thursday and after that there was the country's transport ministry has warned the sailors about the weather conditions in the area nonetheless another vessel still had it in the direction of the icy waters and was also stuck and that is why the ice breakers that were initially had things released the three stuck on thursday had to change their

direction to the one stuck on monday as it was in the most dangerous situation as it was being dragged by the ice towards the coast meanwhile prime minister vladimir putin is monitoring the situation is promised to help the sailors he's spoken to the country's transport minister who reported on the situation from mr putin also over the phone has spoken to both captains over the trap vessels and the ice breakers that a heading to release them just to give you an idea how difficult the weather conditions in the area are at the moment ice is about two meters thick and initially a smaller icebreaker of thirteen thousand horsepower was to release at three vessels but it couldn't get through the icy water so another one three times more powerful one had to be sent down to help them and according to the russian transport ministry the vessels will be released on wednesday morning but the crew members were in no danger from the start as they have about seventy five days worth of food and energy supplies they have water they have everything they need but

experts are saying that said the rescue mission might take a little bit longer as another very strong cycling is heading over and those waters and it's going to bring strong and heavy winds in the area so it might slow down the rescue mission a little bit but in the worst scenario for how the copters of the russia's emergency ministry are on standby to evacuate the people from the vessels if that is needed. here with our c.n.n. still ahead for you this hour a misjudged threat but of course the world health organization is underestimating the number of people killed by laura in india with claims the real figure the war of current estimates. are born to be wild the visit a russian man who enjoys a self-sufficient life in the forest braving the elements on his own. leaked secrets have been recently shaping the news around the world and israel has come across the same headache as some of its all the flies files being made available to

millions but this time the exposures came from soldiers posting secrets on networks like facebook policy of. the israeli army showing off its cyber unit telling the world's media how it connects the nation by phone radio and internet during war time their phrase in a local very it will be an occasion in the hours is that we are preparing ourselves . for those threads but perhaps not i.d.f. should look closer to home israeli army secrets are beaming around the world some deliberate some unwittingly and they're coming from the inside now with just one click anything and everything that a few years ago might have been off limits is available to millions of people simultaneously is really could not been see gruber received this trait in the post it accuses him of killing children in gaza his name was on a website listing the phone numbers and other personal details of his radio

soldiers involved in the last gaza wall he's worried they're now floating around cyberspace they have been doing the lists and in this moment all of my i don't think that this is for facebook or from my experience of the validity of a thing that is inside information but it's not just deliberately connected generation finds it hard not to cross the line and that's a major military headache we're a high tech internet service society. and of course the generation of people who are serving in the military or young people they are the most high tech internet of all just like families really soldiers even aboriginal who updated her facebook profile with pictures of herself in uniform posing in front of blindfolded palestinians and i mean it's tell us too much as i did nothing i have nothing to be sorry about the whole thing's been blown out of proportion you journalists take pictures of the same people in handcuffs why can't i see these really army was

quick to condemn a visual but the damage was done tens of thousands around the world saw the pictures before the i.d.f. could react as an officer and commander i'm disgusted by such acts but as an i.d.f. spokesperson i can assure you that this in no way shape or form reflects the spirit of the i.d.f. our ethical code to which we all aspire these soldiers spend their army service keeping track of what's happening online but keeping a lid on their own colleagues is proving to be a cyber battle too far people are expected to. behave with common sense and they're also not supposed to use their facebook to you know show themselves there are. supposed to have pictures of yourself up for especially not on a base secrecy has always been a top priority for military forces but whereas in the past it might have meant hiding documents or photographs today the challenge is that much bigger. r.t. is wrong for the u.s.

government talking about trying julian our soldiers until this point are shocked of nine hundred seventy all while working with supporters are worried about what it could mean for the future of american democracy also spoke to one of the rabbit hole whose parents or both executed under the espionage act in the fifty. in we want to go back to a case that occurred about twenty or thirty years ago or perhaps for further of that that daniel ellsberg the pentagon papers the new york times papers in some ways in which he really is basically in the same position that the current book that nobody's talking about prosecuted in the new york times. there. they're sort of on possible at this point. i think that you. go down the. first in the attack for the summer also involved for army private dick and fall very confined them to provided some of the serial off we don't know where it's

going to end up next at our freedom will be the research this is how they also have to put it in the context of broadly the key to the american general or the government has to do was say it's secret and then if you use that secret even if it's true. that's one of the amazing things about. the sun reddened with prosecution for publishing the truth will be ideas that publish the truth that illegal is antithetical to a democratic government tyranny flora to see them ocracy fluoresces on their open. every year america's war in afghanistan swallows hundreds of billions of dollars critics say washington comes a fool to continue dumping money abroad when it so badly needed at home but it seems the problem runs even deeper with reports much of the money spent on the afghan campaign never even makes of. money money money

money money money money money money money money money money coming up with money must be the easiest thing for the u.s. says washington is a few weeks ok but they feel flushed down the drain. one big dream it's been washing down is it going to stand about three hundred seventy five billion dollars has already been spent on the afghan war this doesn't include basic things like like care for soldiers in the future of what this amount of also doesn't include has become national simply goes missing into the abyss from never completed ghost construction projects to arms that end up in the wrong hands billions of dollars quite the u.s. into afghanistan doing and where intended there's a significant portion for since reconstruction money that actually comes back doesn't ever make it to afghanistan it goes into the pockets of the experts corruption is one of the major reasons for the u.s. dollar not finding its way to where it's actually headed according to transparency

international afghanistan comes second only to somalia as the most corrupt country in the world i mean the relatives of karzai traveling with unspeakable billion millions of dollars in cash which is of course not not that i know any details but not the stuff that makes people not wonder about corruption the wall street journal the other day had a piece they figured out about ten million dollars a day was simply leaving from kabul airport d f g.d.p. gross domestic product is only about thirteen billion dollars that's a quarter of the g.d.p. going out a year just out of. airport with the war not going away any time soon but it looks likely to last for at least three to four more years where billions more of taxpayer dollars and up i think we're going to see them at the gambling tables of abu dhabi by the sound of it i mean this is not situation where the money is going

to be traceable the cash fraud mismanagement and sheedy recordkeeping have been going on for quite a while see the least the u.s. has already been fighting in afghanistan longer than it was involved in the second world war accidentally losing a few boxes here or there can happen to anyone. but consistently sending enormous amounts down the drain takes real effort and persistence. moreover this is far from the only war that has seen billions of dollars gone missing simply swallowed up by the shadows the united states had nine billion and then a little bit later another nine billion that simply went missing in iraq so you know this is old stuff the money disappears and it's old stuff that money that's put into the pentagon in this country can become part of a so-called black budget that we never really get to see much about there is no one more upset about the situation than those americans that are flat out broke and jobless one out of millions of people to ask is larry heels who has been unemployed

for over a year and a half it's infuriating because we're the ones are always left out in the cold while we're bombing and murdering people and afghanistan the poorest country in the world this is also what setting to countless experts who say that the u.s. afghan strategy has been flawed all together what we need is not a surge of money of troops we need a surge of diplomacy in the region because to begin with i think it's a misguided war i think we need a quick and responsible and exit from that country but until that happens the question of why the west can afford to waste so much money abroad when so many have nothing to hold may never. yeah. and started going to new york. don't forget there's plenty more waiting for you on line at our website also dot com and you can even become part of news just upload your video and chat let's have a look now at some of what's currently online torture deploys over one hundred

policemen to disarm some twenty veterans on hunger strike at what they claim is neglect by the government. funded down shalt not rock n roll picking the music you like is a freedom to our soldiers no longer enjoys commanders forced troops to turn christian concepts and if you opt out you'll be cleaning the barracks already has that opportunity. when they are it could bear much bigger problem that the world health organization currently says in india the data rate is so to be massively underestimated then you also blame the country's health care system for failing the rural poor risk. reports. in india's eastern state of bihar one more victim succumbs to malaria it's a treatable infection yet it still dicks more lives in india than in. this family's loss is just another statistic in the country's battle against the disease. malaria

has spread everywhere near our village no medical teams come to help us and hospitals are far away people like us a dying at this hospital and many patients believe they have the parasite to infection. and then for folks like you i have a very high temperature and i think i have no larry i've come to the doctor for treatment because many people in my neighborhood have malaria i just got it to. a study has found that really area kills more than thirteen into the number of people currently estimated by the world health organization since many malaria deaths are good at home and you usually areas they don't get recorded so researchers with good families and ask them describe what happened to the victims. a method known as autopsy we estimated that something like four percent of the deaths between one and sixty nine years of age were due to malaria and if you multiply that percentage by the national number of deaths at those ages you get two hundred thousand deaths

before age seventy in india it's a staggering number is specially compared to would health organizations estimate of just fifteen thousand then more fatalities it disputes the studies saying. responders could mistake when it is commonly known symptoms it is true that you can confuse malaria deaths with other causes of fever and that is a problem with the verbal autopsy however the w.h.o. accepts the use of verbal autopsy and for estimating childhood deaths from malaria in africa so bit puzzled why they would think a method would work in one continent and not three thousand miles away in another most medical stuff in the indian hospitals agreed the number of malaria deaths is far more than the w.h.o. figure they had also seen the shoprite in the cases of drug resistant batum malaria

and to his centers and the belief that he is not that much to handle this offensive but in many because the treatment needs to be hones the delays to treatment and also the costly injections and the just sometimes not to belittle and because of that of them want to do becomes high as india faces this killer disease it's important for the government and the wu wei to blow up not it's just the problem only then can they upgrade their disease control strategies and resources to fight malaria in all its forms but in seeing. let's now take a closer look at some other headlines around the world is military food supplies decline is learned as massive floods continue to cause chaos in the north east of the country lodging in the region has killed at least ten people since november hundreds of homes are being evacuated ahead of an expected to peak in the deluge later this week roads and airports have been closed and over two hundred thousand

people affected an area larger than frozen germany combatant. the governor of pakistan's punjab province has been shot dead in the country's capital islamabad and it will see what seems to be another islamist radical at times salmaan taseer was assassinated by his own border guard the government with a senior member of the ruling pakistan people's party under strong opponent of the country's blasphemy law which can carry a death sentence for those offending islam three days of mourning up and. electricity in the mosque or region is said to be fully restored within twenty four hours as emergency teams are said to have barely made big progress following big new year blood counts and at the moment just under fifteen thousand and left without energy supplies which is laws that hot the amount compared to the day before the outages began before the new year after a rare freezing rain broad downed power lines disrupting supplies in entire districts on sunday the authorities declared an emergency in the moscow region and

the icy weather forced hundreds of villages to welcome in twenty eleven in darkness due to the power chaos small schools busiest airport also suffered serious disruption last week with thousands of travelers left stranded. while the electricity cuts may be called in stressful many in the moscow region but one of russian isn't worried about blackouts breaks or lives in the grooves and has even built his own power generator it brought him into that fame that wasn't or he was hoping for also use sound of one thousand. we've come to a freezing forest in the musky region it can be a treacherous place. but one man has taken on the elements we've tracked down victor his secret shelter here has made him an internet sensation will be walking about fifteen minutes from the main road through the forest we can see where victor staying just up ahead in the clearing so we're going

to go and give him the water that we bought for him. a troubled upbringing caused him to flee his home on the other side of russia. he knew he was honest when you bring up since the age of seven i felt i had to run away from hard life and bad luck so i came to moscow but i lost my documents i couldn't work or travel anywhere else because of this i choose to live in the woods and build a shelter inside the shelter is surprisingly k.z. it's a simple life here and also perhaps a bit of a lonely one. i'm not a sociable person i never drink and i don't like noisy policies this way of life suits me better go then you're. an impressive craftsman fixes even built his own generator to power electrical equipment i have good hands and i

love to build and create these things. victor went viral after pictures of his handiwork were posted online since then he's had trouble from people who've come to track down his cabin themselves. morgan the people who come are sometimes rude and threatening to go through my things and take photos of themselves then they post them on the internet and write of nasty things about me. when you pull of the came across victims story she tried to help her and. we offered victor a house which here accepted at first it was a warm gas he did house with a power supply and then return here to help out with manual labor but he decided not to stay and i think he just had the urge to be back in the forest. conventional living just doesn't see he's clearly extremely self-sufficient but he does rely on

healthy and equipment supplies and you're going to you know for the first time in my life i have a home my own home i feel happy here i'm a lone wolf if you like. your lungs the trees and the snow you picked is found a way of life that he enjoys. yanni else that now other people respect that. so after. a legion. you're up to date i'll be back with the headlines shortly for you membership of bridging relations of course of our top priority for twenty seven zero down with the country's president boris tadic to him more about belgrade's road towards europe and the challenges the nation faces.

but instead they each serbian president thank you very much for being with us today thanks a lot to mr president it's been two years since kosovo independence was recognized and back then there was a lot of talk about the don't you know a fact about the threat of destabilisation in the region and that none of that happened why do you think was it right to make such a fuss in the first place in the beginning of the domino effect is still existing

as a threat for everybody not only in the region of southeast europe but also everywhere and from the three of them who are real concerns both making for the consideration of how we react to your new auto declaration of independence i think that we are trying to prevent problems. i mean should be a consistent policy that means we are totally against partition of all countries of the member states of united nations. it means we are against partition of the countries that the existing in the region in that respect you're fully supporting for example and integrity integrity of other countries. and in that respect we are contributing to disability even though we are very much affected because if you look through the caribbean of independence just like us so as prime minister suggested starting relations from scratch. is that possible i mean what would it take for serbia to actually i think i lock i think the dialogue is

a very important that look can bring some solution i mean we have a confrontation between serbs and albanians not between should be and cause so because we don't preclude i score so in the pan this we have a confrontation between serbs and albanians for almost. fifty years and then the end of the day we have to sold that kind of call for the. blocking not only sort of sort of single being is but also whole region in terms of progress and development only trade dialogue we can achieve some sort of you show that can be acceptable for grades so the pretty foreign minister with a mistake sat that somebody is actually putting in chances of joining the e.u. under threat by refusing to cooperate with kosovo and you're facing a really tough choice what's your priority kosovo are the membership i'm not making that kind of differences between. participating on elections the last time and

the first time when i was elected for president of serbia having in the mind to mean sort digitals to become a member state the future putin and to be found to be totally into consideration to make contact i'm going to continue my efforts in that direction you have to know that serbia is a very much affected because if economical crisis and in that respect the old serbian people and the citizens of thinking that economic crises. unemployment and the kind of problems. to talk before and this is a totally true strong economy and the real development you cannot defend your state and the national interests and that is why we are trying to solve the problems like all other countries around the world but people are not thinking that costs always are not the problem anymore costs always existing on the problem not only between serbs and albanians but those with regional policy globally thinking because of having in the mind the real possible press of the can create many many turmoil sold

around the world you're absolutely right the international court of justice in the hague recognize the legitimacy of cost of this independence and this is the first president now to that what do you think are the consequences for some other european countries decision if international or court of justice has been legitimizing you know that through a declaration of independence not independence of course. being in the mind the group of the people there to declare that you know not truly independence didn't have a right to do that they came to the consideration all legal framework which was adopted on course so before and there is very controversial decision but we are not going to interfere in decision so for the international court of justice we accept that and we are going to continue all efforts in iraq to defend territorial integrity and sovereignty over serbia but that cannot be really achieved.

without dialogue between serbs and albanians between prishtina both agreed and we have to have a some kind of compromise on the end of the day solution is not one sided to mean score so i mean is it getting everything and the other serbia and serbian people losing everything i'm totally sure that we have to have a some compromise where you have always stronger promoted the pro-american mention of your government and then when they could. marriage support it came down to it turned out that russia was their only ally to ally how did that happen. president this government is going to be old is if i'm going to be leader of this country i'm sure that i'm going to continue my work serbian government we want to have the best possible relations we deny the states even though we are facing with really challenges for especially because of course we do not want to become a member state or for united states we want to be.
