something like that although. not getting any they really will be rolling out the possibility of the writing we did. a study should us. i repeat both president medvedev and i don't rule out the possibility that both of us will run for the presidency our decision will be made taking into account the economic social and political issues in the run up to the election his decision will certainly have to be made but we have almost a whole year before the elections and this election related force doesn't help us carry out our work. no crime and. a crime and they knew or didn't think. that we could hear more about what i meant. and you nice i'm sure there was there were the would

say of all the things you don't rule out the possibility of my running for a second time at the presidential elections are you sure you decision will be taken very shortly since the elections are less than a year away and that this decision however that should be done just make sure that one second if you take into account the existing social situation we can deal it's environment off until most importantly the attitude of people's north before making any such decisions one has to weigh their chances and he's avoided actually mechanic and instead saddle up with a clear understanding of the situation but it isn't for you to. read. and agreement in any given. day. a year away. about an hour. putting on. call it an hour. late binding. not running

ceremony thanks for. the reporting on the upcoming twenty twelve presidential election in russia on the way americans slammed washington's decision to slash thirty eight billion dollars in spending what's really got the public sector is being neglected while the u.s. military machine reaps more funding for its walls. now the first fatal terrorist attack on valerie since been solved less than forty eight hours after it happened well that's according to president bush and co three suspects detained in connection with the monday metro bombing have confessed to the explosion could have been a grabs your house the latest the april eleventh terrorist attack has been solved the president of belarus that they got people behind the deadly blast at nine pm on tuesday in

a sting operation police arrested suspects both the russian origin of the. responsibility for this atrocity after long hours of interrogation that was investigated c.b. also confirmed they will lead to two other similar terrorist attacks in the country's recent history in two thousand and five and in two thousand and eight and investigators say the breakthrough was in the c.c.t.v. footage which they got shortly after the blast the video shows one of the suspects answering the macho station and leaving a bag there which is that exploded now meanwhile elsewhere means the funeral sub been taken place of the country tries to come to terms with the human ports of this atrocity. i started to scream asking for help i was bleeding heavily and i wanted woman karen to be outside into the fresh air the top of my leg 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. on the day i was

going to the city center to buy vitamins it's terrible but i believe i got off lightly where people without eyes with missing legs and hands i'm six months pregnant so all my thoughts were about the baby. why 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 panic which others vividly recall but really there was this bang and all of a sudden fire soon 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 intercepts and this explains why there was

so many commuters during this evening rush hour on monday i witnessed a save those harley wards were carried out onto the street from these answers 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 the loved ones for some delays and getting through for the longest moments of their lives. mark suzhou called me to say there was a terrorist attack and then the line broke up when we came to the scene and saw her we were shocked the jacket was all torn apart as if you'd been hit by shotgun pellets almost face hands and clothes were covered in blood but she was trying to ease our shock cry you don't cry this is not my blood it here the blood that of others caught up in the city as the first funerals take place and means can

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 words are just too painful. because only. changed for you since monday. last sly. 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 minsk underground is the most tragic terrorist act which burglaries has seen scenes beyond of the second world war completely unthinkable until the evening of april eleventh terrorism is now agree more than day reality for these countries as well on these day of mourning not for just also cause up in the country from around the world except in a virtual r t means fellows are coming out fifty years r.t.u.

to go garlands first flight we investigate how it all became possible. one of the most unpleasant is being stuck in this capsule after the inertia of. being that by the waves of the open sea floor in our tears we dive head first into from a heart stopping test soviet volunteers went through to make sure bad spaceflight could be achieved. other walls largest emerging economies are in china to take part in a series of economic and political talks russia brazil india china and south africa also known as the brics nations are striving for a bigger say in the global financial architecture but they're also set to go beyond economics to respond to pressing international issues tests are simply a report. what these five countries really want to do is to work come together to

push for a new international financial model that will benefit developing countries not just a few quick numbers to show you how why this is a 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 could pass include two of the most populated countries in the world of course china and india and in terms of trade and 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 the 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 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 the president and the 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 to as this is an economic forum 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 brazil russia india china did abstain from voting on resolution nine hundred seventy three which allowed 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. now are we did hear from the chinese side that it may repeat may be raised they're going to show a stronger front against this group by the west well the countries here do agree that cooperation is needed not just in terms of the economic solutions they are to find but also the political arena especially before they go to the g. twenty that will happen in november in a france that definitely is a. 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 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 great kountry stared all seeing or un resolution and so she was very wise in terms of we're not going to get involved in this mass effect when the french and the british were drafting the resolution there were serious objections from the four great countries brazil russia and china traditionally it was always

the u.s. and major western nations like france and germany playing the leading 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 powers of the twenty first century europe as we all know is absolutely dead economically politically has no state cannot even organize their own foreign policy it's a fearful continent these are countries that are 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. 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 is no longer a fact so it seems europe and the us are finally beginning to understand the emerging power of the brics nations i think the western countries are already. the strength of the brics economy is. expanding what was the g eight now it's the twenty. it is within the g twenty really the brics countries have been. enjoying. which has been very effective i certainly think that there will be changes in the nomic architecture i think that's inevitable as these countries grew

up 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 they're not just another brick in the wall it goes corti sonia china and the u.s. defense department funding has sought a part of last year's level bringing its annual budget around seven hundred billion dollars and that's the spotlight washington making sweeping cuts in domestic spending to reduce the country's deficit. fall it vertically why american lawmakers step partly committed to boosting the military at a time of economic uncertainty. 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 the defense 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 u.s. 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 the only superpower. 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 ramped of the wars defense spending in the us has increased

eighty one percent since two thousand and one this seems to reflect a budding. prioritization of military 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 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 ever go directly to america's wars they thought they were controlling the oil fields and all of the profits backward. just. 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 that. children poor women and

homeless you know take your or the needs of our population to spend enormous amounts of money on the pentagon budget or every program is being is just rajoy in an obscene right to put it on the. road. that the percent of every dollar americans pay in taxes goes to finding 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 take in its belt and forward our t. washington d.c. . news making headlines this hour a suicide bomber has killed at least ten people in our attack on tribal elders in eastern afghanistan a close ally of president calls i was killed in the blast the attack approached the elders after a meeting before detonating the explosives strapped to his body the taliban denied

responsibility for the attack claiming that the victims had their own enemies. the deposed egyptian leader hosni mubarak and his two sons who placed under detention for fifteen days the move is part of the police investigation into corruption and abuse allegations and barack is currently in intensive care after reportedly suffering a heart attack while the former leader has been under house arrest since he was overthrown a popular uprising in february. and i have rico's french and the u.n. troops have seized ammunition from forces loyal to former president. it comes after he surrendered to french fall of the. you supported i was somewhat hollow the internationally recognized winner of last november's elections is now awaiting a criminal investigation into his actions and those of his entourage the resulting conflict between the two opponents has played nearly a thousand lives well they pushed human injury and further than i had ever

god with some even paying the ultimate prize it was all about achieving the goal of propelling mankind to the stars before you to gardens first flight soviet volunteers went through unbearable tests to gauge what humans might experience in space. one test subjects who lived to tell the tale. he went through hell on earth to put the first man in space john an unusual name for a russian was a volunteer a test of equipment a little reach obeyed and he took him to the limits of human injurious but no one in the world has ever experienced what i did nineteen g. on the centrifuge that means my weight increased nineteen fold blood was a losing through my pores later i was forbidden to even mention it back burner everything was a secret in nine hundred fifty nine when the original 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 many questions are soaring. more than 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 task 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 fame the volunteers were out there. 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 weightlessness or

inertia was invented and soon preceded many trials one of the most unpleasant tests is being stuck in this capsule after the martian. that goes by the waves although you saw. an actual cross and a maximum of three. in this position as part of their training while the test engineers have to last for days in forty degree heat or cold. they're in last the longest of all three days while his c.c. companions gave up one after another. 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 could do it and after all those years and over three hundred

experiments i came to the conclusion my point was made even more important for space science that if i went into space once or twice. nowadays the cost will survival is based on their work except potential cosmonauts are not pushed to the limit and they do have a chance after these one day. many of the just engineers wanted to become cosmonauts but 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 the dream of space and reality. our storage city just north of moscow blog about with a recap of our top stories in just a few minutes but right now with the latest business with cain. and the sixteen swap between b.p.

can understand where they're coming from and they can put unified positions to the g seven and to the u.s. which will make it more fractured in achieving their objectives. have a look at how the markets are performing u.s. stocks are rising at the opening up to j.p. morgan chase earnings beat expectations the bank is the first to report first quarter results net income jump sixty seven percent to five hundred fifty six billion dollars or one point twenty eight dollars a share stocks also climbed as u.s. retail sales of brass for a night in march and european stocks gained three bounding from the biggest drop in four weeks the footsies up around two percent while the dax is trading over eight percent of the material shares advance across europe shares of french telecom equipment giant alcatel only five percent after a brokerage are great and they are they are holdings designer i phone chips rallied five point seven percent here in moscow stock still is in the black we are testing
