defense budget escapes and start stop the analysis series of sweeping cards and social programs that the drugs. are welcome and to you this is asking why from moscow with me eyes have it first this hour two suspects have been arrested by police in bellary slowing monday's metro bomb attack on a day of mornings being observed to minsk the twelve people killed in the atrocity in the new graduate joins us live now a look i mean are two days off the earth or she's made the arrest what more do we know. well we know the belorussian police have arrested two suspects talk of monday's deadly blast the busiest man shows station here in the capital and the

country's debt as you prosecutor a channel told our team they're now being questioned and it's being fire truck and find out whether the. believe it's two. thousand and five and in the city of means during a crowded concepts that was in two thousand and eight no bought testimonies are or were the russian origin and were also another preserve the limbs camera footage shows this is after trigger man answered the station shortly before the blast and he loved her back and about which baby put them on to explode later because they're so lost what meanwhile in the central street of needs to day meeting. there was another incident and this people were in high alert in the streets of new polling monday's attack they believed these could be another in a stream of protects hitting the capital but we talked to the driver of the car

which was set on fire and he says that it was at least as how the smoke started to come out of one of the before and then all of a sudden the car caught fire so most probably this is not an accident over and not a terrorist attack and now meanwhile elsewhere across the city of means quite are the first funeral they're taking place sounds and the whole country on this day is observing an official day of warning and war and those who survived that attack and what they have to tell today is arbitrary here's your forecast. this is from when. i started to scream for help i was bleeding heavily a man and woman karen to be outside into the fresh air and touch up my mag and then leave me until the ambulance arrived that's mine and hooman majd be unaware they saved not only irina but the life of your unborn child as well thirteen year old

tools eve with on the day i was going to the city center to buy vitamins it's terrible but i believe i got off not only were people without armies with missing legs and hands i'm six months pregnant my thoughts were about the baby. with you and i instinctively know huddled to protect her baby she was lucky people sported here in the thick smoke and didn't trample here in the piney which bothers vividly recall. of u.v. 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 has 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 the 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 newest subway intercepts and base explains why there was

so many commuters during this evening rush hour on monday the eyewitnesses say that those hollywood at work carried out on to the street from these answers and many of those waters still remain in critical condition in hospitals across the seas here the news of the attack luck to phone systems being flooded with people desperate to conjure bare loved ones for some delays and getting through the longest moments of their lives. called me to say there was a terrorist attack and then the line brought. when we came to the scene and saw her we were shocked her jacket was all torn apart as if you'd been hit by shotgun pellets or face hands and clothes were covered in blood and she was trying to ease our shout granny don't cry this is not my blood it's here the blood was that of others caught up in the trough city as the first funeral state police and means

elsewhere people have been flocking to the site of a tragedy to remember solemnly and to pray biblical messages later around the subway station or in different languages but for some even words are just too painful as there was that 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 talk. the explosion in means condi grant is the most tragic terrorist acts which brother was seen seems beyond of the second world war completely unthinkable until the evening of april eleventh terrorism is now agree more than a reality but these countries as well on the state of the just supports the logic in the country from around the world to the pressure of all our means below us.

between the moscow and minsk metro bombings in a better position than most to give better research advice on dealing with the young. and i thought. that representative on contacting terrorism spoke to our. experience gained through such tragedy. we've all paid such a high price for this experience simply criminal immoral not to share with other people we should share our experience with paying for what 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 of others use our experience in this sense there is no other way there can be no individual experience will be totally incompatible with the general experience each country puts its own national experience in the common basket of cooperation and after some separation it turns into a universal product later each individual country can use it for its own account

consider a certain peculiarity and. you can watch the full interview in less than twenty minutes time here. now it could be a watershed moment for the world's largest of writing a column a think they gather in china to flex their muscles their striving for a bigger say in the global financial architecture the heads of raster presell india china and south africa or the brics group are also set to go on the corner right to respond to the ongoing crisis and libya. syria reports. what these five countries really want to do was to work together to push for a new international financial model that would benefit developing countries not just a few quick numbers to see to show you how why this region this grouping of countries is becoming really an important part of the world is the world's dynamics first of all they do i have to pass include two of the most populated countries of the world

of course china and india and in terms of trade their volume has reached two hundred thirty billion in two thousand and ten that's about fifteen percent of world trade eighty percent of the world's g.d.p. now these numbers may not be at their peak at the moment they do admit that there's a lot of room for improvement in this regard but the number the population in itself and the potential that they hold is clearly not to be ignored by the by the world in this case the actual summit will start to morrow but there have been meetings between the russian president ever leaders of various countries today he's been meeting with the indian prime minister the south african president as well as chinese president hu jintao well as this is an economic forum they be they cannot ignore the what's happening in the world so they can't just stick to economic problems another issue of course is the issue of libya now we know that the four countries out of five that brazil russia india and china did abstain from voting on resolution nine hundred seventy three which allowed the. air strikes on libya but

sunk africa did vote in favor of that however still the consensus here is that they are not happy with what nato is doing. now are we did hear from the chinese side that it may be may be raised that there are going to show a strong front against this move by the west and russia as a president and you can bet it did give an interview to the chinese media and here's what he had to say was an opinion one should understand that the vulnerability of the libyan street is so is now what. we i mean the internet. community and certainly the people of libya have a single libya or several states governed by puppet governments and even by nobody going radical six trina's it's strange it's quite realistic but now we should look into the future old politicians there should decide for themselves make responsible decisions for the sake of the libyan people somebody will have to make such

a serious maybe fateful decision to leave allowing his country to develop i think this would be for the good in every respect all the countries here do agree that cooperation is needed not as in terms of the economic solutions they are to find but also in the political arena especially before they go to the g. twenty that will happen in november in france now if that definitely is a shift in the global politics the dynamics of the world moving away from the western countries to those countries in the regions that make up the brics while the old world order may be pumping money down the drain on war in libya the new world order is fighting battles that can be won on the world's money and trade markets brazil russia india china and this year's new kid on the block south africa have gathered on the chinese island of hainan to talk business and it's not just about economy it's about politics as well though the brics countries do put a heavy emphasis on the economic issues broader political questions such as the

situation in northern africa and the middle east are also going to be hot topics for discussions the recount to stare all seeing or un resolution was very wise in terms of we're not going to get involved in this mess in fact when the french and the british were drafting the resolution there were serious objects and from before countries with the russians traditionally it was always the u.s. and reserve western nations like france and germany playing believing roles in politics and economy but if it's. you can see consideration of the ongoing financial crisis and the fact that brics countries comprise more than half of the world's population and poland almost a quarter of the world's g.d.p. if it becomes obvious that a certain geopolitical shift in power is in progress or that there are several reasons these. twenty first century you wrote as we all know all

this absolutely economically politically has no. foreign policy it's a fearful coincidence these are current countries there are have been less affected by the crisis than have the european countries the united states and these are countries that are going to continue to grow. if not rapidly and least moderately while the rest of europe and the united states seems to be mired in crisis european leaders themselves admit to losing stable ground in recent years everything that we have taken for granted for two centuries american and european dominance to the point at which most of the world's manufacturing goods most of the world's exports most of the world's investment was done in these countries is no longer a fact so it seems europe and the us are finally beginning to understand the emerging power nations i think the western countries is already. the strength of

the brics economy is. expanding what with. now it's twenty and. twenty really the brics countries have been. which has been very effective i certainly think that there will be changes in the economic architecture i think that's inevitable as these countries grow while the western powerhouses continue pounding away on regimes they find undesirable and a new economic and political architecture is emerging and these five countries are keen to prove these bricks are laying solid foundations in the polish courtsey sonia china. they had five single label groups and. here resumed there was another strong quake forcing them to flee and getting tested

for the space rates. one of the most unpleasant plants is being stuck in this capsule after the martian. being that has by the waves of the open sea also its corresponding angle the pressures of real training state students have climbed up. well the u.s. is planning to spend around seven hundred billion dollars on the military laying this decided on thirty eight billion dollars in spending cuts but not coming out of the country's defense budgets came for the. plenty is on the us chopping block this week health care education infrastructure. everything that is except for the pentagon my greatest fear is that in economic tough times the people will see that the parents budget as the place to solve the

nation's deficit problems i would be very reluctant to cut defense spending until we see really how these two conflicts were and are going to come out like this worldwide military spending increased by twenty point six billion dollars in two thousand and ten and one thousand point six billion of that was the us alone according to the stockholm international peace research institute a us very much sees itself as a global military power it's the only global military superpower and so it perceives it security interests as encompassing the whole world in two thousand and ten the u.s. spent more on its military and the next highest countries combined both presidents bush and obama have read that the wars defense spending in the u.s. has increased eighty one percent since two thousand and one this seems to reflect a bipartisan prioritization of military power and military conceptions of security

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 of them go directly to america's wars they thought they were controlling the oil fields and rolling the proctors back we're going to be just a real big drag those tax dollars also go to maintaining over one thousand u.s. bases insights the world why as well as the pentagon's chil hundred thirty four golf courses. i mean 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 or every program is being cut it's just fraud to lean in obscene try to put it on the ground. that the four cents of every dollar americans pay in taxes goes to funding costs and future war and for all the tough talk by president obama about making hard choices cutting the budget and closing the deficit gap many americans are wondering when it will be the pentagon's turn to tighten its belt here in florida are t. washington d.c. . struggling for. water it comes on after a powerful force cruise to flee the area she's going to pan raised around the missing the maximum level of seven i suppose the crisis on a par with the chernobyl. the decision was based on new data showing more radiation from the damaged previously but officials say. the situation

critical meanwhile attempts to restore cooling systems of the reactors appears to be no closer to success nuclear engineer on all of the japanese government is down by step of the design. for. the japanese are really committed to nuclear and so the result of a lot of national interest that wanted to downplay it you know i studied the three mile island accident history teacher no bull. and now this one and it's pretty standard practice that when when things are breaking you do seem to look for the best alternative as opposed to the most realistic one and i think the japanese wanted a nice outcome and believe whatever instruments gave them that indication if they don't have power to the fuel pool cooling systems that any of the reactors in uniform is the worst because that fuel pool has the freshest fuel it's the the most

physically hot and in addition unifor has got a crack in the side of it so they can even if they have water to cool it it's going to run out the crack that's the toughest the toughest problem on site right now. follow all the latest developments on japan's nuclear crisis on our web site that's called including a man who brave because she was evacuations a. japanese journalist from within one and a half kilometers of the stricken facility to document the dangerous levels of radiation to find out what he saw also online. social networking web sites saved a russian man after eighteen years of slavery in the volatile republic of that his son find out more on our synagogue. a brief look now at some of the world news making headlines this hour and her husband given the taking the deposed egyptian leader hosni mubarak as well as his two sons for fifteen days it calms the head of

on earth to put the first man in space john an unusual name for a russian was a volunteer contest to make within only to reach orbit and he took him to the limits of human enduring 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 pause later i was forbidden to even mention it back then everything was a secret in nine hundred fifty nine when little became a test volunteer no one knew just how humans would be affected by zero gravity extreme stress or even the sense of endlessness space was the great unknown and too many questions and answering for. any emergency that could happen to a cosmonaut during a flight and in reality they really experience all this i had to endure one string

attached to find a safe angle for an emergency landing seat i was thrown from a fourteen me to height just like that freefall another time i spent thirteen hours in ice cold water to test a spacesuit on the state commission came to check on me in the morning someone said surprised look he's alive. experiments using humans want top secret in the soviet union and it wasn't thing the volunteers were often. brought up that way we weren't afraid of extreme situations or simply no fear as the space program developed this became more sophisticated the imitation of weightlessness or immersion was invented and soon preceded many trials one of the most unpleasant is being stuck in this capsule after the national. that is by the waves of the open sea. and actual cross worlds and
