a woman might be unaware they saved not only you re nothing but the life of your unborn child as well fifteen years with tools of its own the day i was going to the city center to buy vitamins it's terrible but i believe i got over not really there were people without armies with missing legs and hands i'm six months pregnant the words were about the baby i'm with you and my instant do we know huddled to protect her baby she was lucky people sported here in the thick smoke and didn't trample here in the honey which others vividly recall but on. the train was full of parents and then there was this bang and all of a sudden fire ceiling collapsed lots of people lying on the platform older i stepped over something and then i saw this was a girl's body. yearly and i was the closest to the epicenter of the blast she was but only to survive in her carriage again despite the panic others gave her

a helping hand to escape the carnage from the city's busiest metro station this is where the two eyes of the music subway intersect and this explains why there was so many commuters during this evening rush hour on monday i witnessed a save those hollywood at work carried out onto the street from base actuals and many of those waters still remain in critical condition in hospitals across the city the news of the attack like to phone systems being flooded with people desperate to concert their loved ones cause some delays in getting through for the longest moments of their lives one is for you one of us who don't call me to say there was a terrorist attack and then the line bro. camp when we came to the scene and saw her we were shocked her jacket was all torn apart as if she'd been hit by shotgun pellets or her face hands and were covered in blood and she was trying to ease or shout from granny don't cry this is not my blood it's here the blood was that of

others caught up in the city as the first funerals take place and elsewhere people have been thought king to the side of the tragedy to remember solemnly and to pray biblical messages laid around the subway station or in different languages but for some even words are just too painful but. has anything changed for you since monday. lost lives it hurts it hurts terribly people need to understand and value every moment of their lives and remember those who died. i'm sorry but i can't on. the explosion i mean underground is the most tragic terrorist act which bellerose has seen scenes beyond of the second world war completely unthinkable and still be evening on april eleventh terrorism is now a green wasn't a reality but these countries as well on these day of. logic in the country

from around the world sit in a virtual r t means bellows. special services say they hope to make progress in the investigation into the bombing however terrorism expert who reads says it's still a mystery to boston law that the attack on the motivation. at first glance this looks like a very sophisticated attack and that's what makes it very very mysterious because no experience of this there are no obvious people who would wish to strike. behind you know but in terms of preventing it no doubt things will change but i think already there been announcements of security measures that will be great for public spaces and all that and the type of things we see in america and europe and indeed in russia will now be in place in bella ruse terrorism experts who are talking to us from london that. are there similarities between the moscow and the metro

bombings russia is in a better position than most to give us advice on dealing with the aftermath of terror attacks i told us of on the russian presidential representative combating terrorism so to watch here about the need to share experience gained from such tragedy since. we've all paid such a high price for this experience and it's simply criminal immoral not to share with other people we should share our experience with pain but we should share any experience both in our mistakes in areas where we've been successful and we have been successful i can give you examples and others use our experience there's no other way there can be no individual experience will be totally incompatible with the general experience each country puts its own national experience into common vascular cooperation after some separation it turns into a universal product leader each individual country can use it for its own we can consider a certain. way that full interview in around twenty five minutes time. says

the situation in libya is out of control blaming colonel gadhafi and the rebels as well as nato forces for failing to stop the country tearing itself apart russian president spoke to the media ahead of a major trade trip to china for a meeting of the world's emerging economies. presuming that it was speaking to a chinese head of it that day and summer i hope in the city of sanya hoping meeting with his counterpart for the other members of the great story china of course brazil india and south africa will be discussing amongst other things how best to respond to the own situation in libya remains torn with the civil conflict and the president warning that the situation really is a real risk of collapsing that. gadhafi does not control the situation because the

country's convulsed voice civil war and many of his actions may be qualified as crimes. does not control the situation either because he does not have a mandate to carry out large scale operations for us reasons and the new finds an operation has acquired very unusual features because in fact it turned out to be the use of force and with no results has been to tell you the truth and as far as i understand it everybody has different plans in this regard the rebels cannot control the situation because they didn't have enough forces means all possibilities the situation has already got out of control and it's very sad for the first to read its rating message stunts that never right from the beginning that this has that's lead caution when it comes to foreign involvement africa ever really highlighting it as such in the point that i want to come say situations it's usually best that it's go with internally and the focus really from the very

beginning being on the pushing for dialogue with that ongoing situation russia and china they have the power and they along with the other brics members and last month but also rising in a slightly libya another they didn't exercise that right it's a saying that they hate the way the possibility of the stability in the region being. well it's about by that the priority remains really doing anything to bring about the floods we get up useful to the rebels was an opinion what one should understand that the viability of the libyan state itself is now at state level with what we i mean the international community and certainly the people of libya have a single libya or several states governed by puppet governments and even by nobody radical sixty three miss the street so it's quite realistic to present the fate of making it clear that although the duffy is the certainly to play for the whole day

home thing they think he hasn't played president the very often interview about whether he intends to stay for another term and all the elections are less than a year away he having clarified yet whether or not he will be running you need i'm sure there was i don't rule out the possibility of my running for a second term in the presidential elections three a decision will be taken very shortly since the elections are less than a year away and this decision however should be fun just mature and second and should take into account the existing social situation in congo political environment and most importantly the attitude of people before making any such decisions one has to weigh their chances avoid acting mechanically and instead fact with a clear understanding of the situation the present it is the personal insight into it. with the roles that being a president has there's

a heavy burden he the journalist the president quite a young man also if he ever got tired as it was talking about the ways of the home but that he like spending time with his friends and family and of course a jealous person his relationship with five minutes the piece was a bit of talking openly about that saying that he's known by this. is like two decades. they built a. relationship they hold different with different roles. that. he mentioned probably going to be taking surely all whether or not he will be running in this election. and what president the full interview on our website at www dot com well still ahead for you this fighting for survival crews the. sooner rather strong quake all systems. and

even in the face of such difficult economic times and american earning the federal minimum wage and working forty hours a week fifty two weeks a year can expect to earn a little over fifteen thousand dollars this year well below the poverty line they can also expect to pay more than five hundred dollars directly to the pentagon and american earning fifty thousand dollars a year will see their income. over two thousand and go directly to america's wars they thought they were controlling the oil fields and rolling the profits back would want to be just a real big traps those tax dollars also go to maintaining over one thousand us bases in the world why as well as the pentagon's two hundred thirty four golf courses. needs children who are wimmin homeless you know take care of the needs of our population to spend enormous amounts of money on the pentagon budget while we are every program is being is just

in his place in history one man's ornamental achievement was the result of the work of hundreds of others and up secrecy a team of dedicated volunteers put their lives on the line to put the equipment needed through its paces and one day propelling ground kinds to the stars or to history as the story. he went through hell on earth to build the first man in space john an unusual name for russian was a volunteer just to make one and needed to reach orbit and it took him to the limits of human insurance but really no one in the world has ever experienced what i did nineteen g. on the centrifuge that means my weight increase nineteen fold blood was a losing through my paws later i was forbidden to even mention it back then everything was a secret in one nine hundred fifty nine when they didn't know became a pistol and see no one knew just how humans would be affected by easier gravity extreme stress or even the sense of endlessness space was the great unknown and too

survival is based on their work except potential cost on all are not to the limit and they do have a chance of traveling to space one day i'll just leave it there are many of the tests engineers wanted to become astronauts and that's exactly the tragedy and they simply sacrificed themselves or their names may be lost in history but in many ways it was them the unknown here is who made the dream of space and reality gary bush go up r.t. story just north of moscow. well you will that joining us for this is updates in just a few minutes stating. you
