know the details of that deadly metro blast in minsk. this is from when. i started to scream for help i was bleeding heavily a man and a woman karen to be outside in the fresh air the top of my mat and didn't 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 putting her tools evening on 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 our ease with missing legs and hands i'm six months pregnant fell on my thoughts were about the baby. with my instinct to reno huddled to protect her baby she was lucky people spotted here in the thick smoke and didn't trample here in the panic which others vividly recall but all of you the train was full of parents and then there was this bang and all

of a sudden fire ceiling collapsed lots of people were lying on the platform older i stepped over something and then i saw this was a girl's body. yulian a 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 music subway intersect and this explains why there were so many commuters during this evening rush hour on monday i witnessed a save those hollywood that were carried out onto the street from these actions and many of those waters still remain in critical condition in hospitals across the seas here many years of the tackle up to phone systems being flooded with people desperate to contact their loved ones for some delays and getting through for the longest moments of their lives on the bus who called 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 you'd been hit by shotgun pellets all of these hands and were covered in blood and she was trying to ease our shells around you don't cry this is not my blood it's here the blood of others caught up in the city as the first funerals take place and means kind elsewhere people have been flocking to the site of the tragedy to remember solemnly and to pray the biblical messages laid around the subway station are in different languages but for some even a word said just too painful as there was no whistles has anything changed for you since monday. lost lives 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. to the explosion in minsk on the ground is the most tragic terrorist act which color was seen since the end of the second world war completely unthinkable until the evening of april eleventh terrorism is now a green warden's a reality for these countries as well on these day of warning just supports our lodging in the country from around the world except in a virtual r t means well it was. over the similarities between the moscow metro bombings russia a better position than most to give the recent rise on the even with the aftermath of terror attacks and as well as the russian president represented on combat in terrorism spoke to r.t. about the need to share experience in research tragedies. we've all paid such a high price for this experience that it's simply criminal and immoral not to share

it with other people we should share or experience with pain 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 in this sense there is no other way right there can be no individual experience it would be totally incompatible with the general experience each country puts its own national experience in a common basket of cooperation it after some separation it turns into a universal product the later each individual country can use it for its own account considering certain peculiarities. or you can watch that full interview in just over an hour's time here on off. when it could be a watershed moment for the world's largest imagine commies and they gather in china it's a fact that muscles striving for a biggest say in the global financial architecture the heads of boss of brazil india china and south africa also known as the brics group souls and set up to go

beyond economics to respond to the ongoing crisis in libya. we have reports. what these five countries really want to do was to work on together to push for a new international financial model that would benefit developing countries not just a few quick numbers to show you how why this region this grouping of countries is becoming really an important part of the the world is the world's dynamics first of all they do i could pass include two of the most populated countries in 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 still 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 and the leaders of various countries today he's been

meeting with the indian prime minister a south african president as well as chinese president hu jintao to as this is an economic forum big b. 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 in libya now we know that the four countries out of five brazil russia india china did abstain from voting on resolution one hundred seventy three which allowed the the air strikes on libya but south africa did vote in favor of that however still the consensus here is that they are not happy with what nato is doing in libya now are we did hear from the chinese side that it may repeat may be raised that they're going to show a strong front against this move by the west and russia as the president to make sure that it did give an interview to the chinese media and here's what he had to say we. should understand that the viability of the libyan state itself is now at

stake. 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 or by radicals extremists this threat is quite realistic but now we should look into the future all politicians there should decide for themselves make responsible decisions for the sake of the libyan people somebody will have to make a serious maybe fateful decision to leave allowing his country to develop i think this would be for the good in every respect. well the countries here do agree that cooperation is needed not as in terms of the economic solutions they are to pry 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 warring 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 are going to play now and talk business and it's not just about economy it's about politics as well who the brics countries do put a heavy emphasis on 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 recount use they're all saying or un resolutions 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 dressed to go resolution there were serious objects and strong before country was a russia and china traditionally it was always the u.s. and major western nations like france and germany playing believing roles in

politics and economy but if you take into consideration be 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. it becomes obvious that a certain geopolitical shift in power is in progress for that there are several reasons these are the merging twenty first century europe as we all know all these absolutely dead economically politically has no leads and on sticking out even organize their own foreign policy it's a fearful continent. these are our countries where our have been less affected by the crisis and have european countries the united states and these are countries that are going to continue to grow. rapidly 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 almost 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 it is no longer a fact so it seems europe and the us are finally beginning to understand the emerging power of the breaks nations i think the western countries is already. the strength of brics economy is. expanding weapons to the g eight to twenty and it is within the g twenty really the brics countries have been playing. strategy which has been very effective i certainly think that there will be changes in the economic i think that's inevitable as these countries grow but the western power houses 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 elaine solid foundations and in those courts he sonia china now the u.s. is going to spend around seven hundred billion dollars on the military and though this year makings of decided on thirty eight billion dollars in spending cuts but not coming out of the country's defense artist thought reports. plenty is on the u.s. 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 pence 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 we're in we're 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 u.s. alone according to the stockholm international peace research institute us very much sees itself as a global military power it's the only global military superpower and so it perceives 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 war's defense spending in the us has increased eighty one percent since two thousand and one this seems to reflect a boy. prioritization of our 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 that's here 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 although they want control of the oil fields and all of the profits back just to real. those tax dollars also go to maintaining over one thousand u.s. bases and sites the world why as well as the pentagon's two hundred thirty four golf courses the. children poor women 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 cut is just fraudulent in obscene try to put it on the ground really

a great deal of the royal. birth that the four cents of every dollar americans pay in taxes goes to funding past 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 and forward our t. washington d.c. . still ahead this hour getting tested for the space right. one of the most unpleasant is being stuck in this capsule to the martian. thing that has by the waves over the open sea. can also use correspondent angle of the pressures of real world training find out. as if you're. making headlines this hour under an order given to detain the deposed

everything was a secret in nine hundred fifty nine when the 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 needed answering. any emergency that could happen to a cosmonaut during a flight and in reality they really experience all this i had to endure once during a test 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 when the state commission came to check on me in the morning someone said surprised look he's alive experiments using humans what top secret in the soviet union and it wasn't thing the volunteers were outer. we were 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 boyd listeners or immersion was invented and soon preceded many trials one of the most unpleasant tests is being stuck in this cat so after the inertial. thing that has by the waves over the open sea. an actual cost more than a maximum of three hours in this position as part of their training while the test engineers have to last for days in forty degree heat or cold. air in the last the longest of all three days while his seasick companions gave up one after another with. not everyone survived those tests and we never thought of ourselves as heroes we bled and hurt but told noble we needed to prove humans can

do it and after all those years and over three hundred experiments i came to the conclusion my input was made even more important for space science than if i went into space once or twice. nowadays the cost will survival course is based on their work except potential cost models are not pushed to the limit and they do have a chance after adding to space one day. many of the just engineers want to become astronauts but that's exactly their tragedy and they simply sacrifice 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 areality gary bush go up r.t. storage city just north of moscow. more news than analysis of allergy dot com of course online right now for you the man who brave because she knows evacuation zone . within an hour often long wasn't the person you're going to see to document the

a member of the finance ministers' meeting which is at the heart of the g seven so this gives them an opportunity to discuss we can look at interest and reach some understandings and of course the g twenty meetings coming up later this year so i think it's useful and it's kind of a tribute to the power of ideas because. governor neil the chief economist of goldman sachs came up with the idea of brics as an analytical idea fifteen years ago and two or three years ago it turned into a political group right and there are significant differences within the group and over over over the week chinese currency as well so do you think those issues will be addressed during the conference and they'll talk about them it's a talking shop but that's good and if you look at brazil who's had some of the biggest problems of any economy with the weak chinese currency because their manufacturing has stagnated well chinese imports of sort there's a there's a bit this week by the new brazilian president dilma rousseff to china and on the

back of that both sides big deal so the sale for brazil injects to. china and the chinese manufacturer is talking about a big investment back into brazil so talking shops can lead to deals and for russia to. kind of look for interests of the developing world as g twenty seeks the reshape of the global finance system. yes within limits so as you say they're quite a diverse group of got different interests but i think that what they can do is they can coordinate positions they can understand where they're coming from and they can put unified positions to the g seven and to the us which will make them more effective in achieving their objectives which countries like china they organize and well if this is one of those economic policy names every likes to play why not mexico what about indonesia. and i think there's a long list of economies that are large and growing far and going through the

process is of urbanization industrialization that we tend to look for in the large emerging economies but i think it'll probably stay where it is because you can't expand the acronym any more here that south africa has joined and you've got a country from each of the continents that have emerging markets so i think it will stay where it is right and all the right see it describe and tell him brick says as as emerging economies as it has an urging on its well i think so because they don't have some of the characteristics of developed economies in terms of their pick for financial markets the level of credit but income per capita and the lower growth rates that you get when everybody has got to a sort of high level of industrialization and urbanization so i think that they still emerging got some way to go and they can benefit from working together. i think the bell thank you very much indeed for sharing it lisa that's. i'm going to
