a massive influx of immigrants or raul in the e.u. if we get offers tens of thousands of residents and pundits. here with r.t. as we highlight the stories that made headlines this week well it all started with tragedy when a deadly blast struck the metro in the capital minsk thirteen people have now died and over two hundred were injured after an explosive was detonated at a station during the monday rush hour now two days after the break president and declared your thought he knew who was behind the terror attack five people have now been detained including a man who's suspected of setting off an explosive three of them have reportedly confessed their motives for the bombing are still on. artesia korea trover

describes the first fatal terror attack in the country's. five forty nine pm means condor ground a man steps on the platform of a crowded metro station he's happy back on the floor and walks away for several minutes you can see him cold blooded waiting for the right moment trains going in both directions make a stop doors open. i started to scream for help i was bleeding heavily a man and a woman carriage me outside into the fresh air the top of my mag and didn't leave me until the ambulance arrived. that a man and woman might 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 and terrible but i believe i got over not really there were people without eyes with

missing legs and hands i'm six months pregnant so all my thoughts were about the baby. by insisting to rina huddled to protect your belly she was lucky people spotted here on the take smoke and didn't trample here in the panic. of using the train was full of panicked and then there was this bang and all of a sudden fire ceiling collapsed lots of people were lying on the platform older stepped over something and then i saw this was a girl's body. lina was at the very epicenter of the blast and one of the few to miraculously survive in her carriage again despite the panic others gave her helping hands to escape the carnage from the city's busiest metro station this is where the two allies of the meanest subway intercepts and this explains why there was so many commuters cheering this evening rush hour on monday i witnessed to say that those hollywood that were carried out onto the streets. from these answers

many of those waters still remain in critical condition in hospitals across the city the news of the attack letter phone systems been flooded with people desperate to contact their loved ones for some delays and getting through the longest moments of their lives. on the bus with the mugs who should call me to say that it was a terrorist attack and then the line broke out when we came to the scene and saw her we were shocked her jacket was all torn apart as if she had been hit by a shotgun pellet almost face hands and clothes were covered in blood but she was trying to ease our shock crown you don't cry this is not my blood it yet the blood was that of others caught up in the atrocity twelve killed of the scene one more died in a hospital as funerals were taking place in minsk and elsewhere people were flocking to the site of the tragedy in their hundreds almost a week after the attack and many are still struggling to come to terms with the

human cost of the trust city. 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. if they don't know that sure what archie means delos. meantime venice somewhat conflict resolution and west says the. metro explosion could be part of a pattern of attacks across european capitals. it will fall into a pattern of similar terrorist attacks that we've seen in different european cities so no move skirt has not been a target before in this way and is not perhaps an obvious target for a terrorist attack but clearly those is not immune to these kind of incidents that we've seen in moscow that we've seen in london that we've seen another weirdo and

in other places and so this would obviously be a number of alarm bells amongst the authorities and of the russian capital. speculation over who was behind the metro bombing led to a focus on internal politics and but i was investigative journalist a poor lashmar says president look at shank as a regime with a target is quite hard to judge at this point so the k.g.b. books or forward three notions that a group of disaffected people or young extremists or someone with mental illness my suspicion is that it's presently shango because it's only one hundred meters from these ministration offices and of course he's a very controversial figure he has ruled the roost for now for i think nineteen years these. are many of the elections the last elections in december were contested and i think that what we might be seeing is

a rising discontent with these authoritarian regimes. the president of belarus has often been criticized for his hardline stance on his opposition to terrorism expert phil says because grip means that his rivals are incapable of such an attack as the one this week. the president look at franco one highly disputed election in december and there is a deeply disgruntled opposition the opposition has never showed any signs of being able to be involved in something like this nor the sophisticated methods that are needed and moreover some people have told me that most members of the no no position of either being in jail or undoing twenty four hour observation from the k.g.b. so that they would be able to plan something as complicated and sophisticated as this. real ones from the shock of a terror attack striking in the capital or elsewhere in europe

a blind eye and seemingly being turned to extremist rulings in the program here and we will question why finland behind a terribly good website is on trial for smuggling not for supporting extremism plus . we be part of a solution to all the others on. what he started or not part of prague they could as our pakistan's prime minister talked to r.t. about the role his country could international fight against terror. russia's prime minister told party colleagues this week that it's premature to talk of him running for the two thousand and twelve presidential election that they're putting it but members of the country's leading united russia party cooling attempts to portray him president get that as rivals saying he's short on us for that. certainly it has been an interesting week in the russian national politics

especially when you talk about the two top two positions in the country and arguably the two most dynamic men in russian politics and that of course is dmitri medvedev the president and bloody mir putin the prime minister now any time these two get together or there's a possibility of there being a differing opinion or who will run the international community becomes very excited and that's what happened this week it all started head of the brics summit in china when the chinese media had an interview with president to get it and they asked him about some of these possible divisions and how least to many think in that interview president medvedev said more from there will be differences of opinion in how things should be done but he also talked about in that interview how this is part of the dynamic democratic process and if you don't have to have agreement all the time and that those types of discussions are what allow for a healthy country and a healthy democracy but he also in that interview said that he was not going to

rule out running for president this of course promptly the united russia party which blood in your putin is the head of to start kind of saying no no no we want our candidate to be in that position as well and kind of hinting towards putin basically allowed putin to go in front of the united party officials and say look this is all premature we still have the state duma elections coming up on december fourth and it is premature to talk about the presidential elections which are in two thousand and twelve when we have the state duma elections this year just coming up in a few months now and again in the international community a lot of people like to put these two together they've been friends for a long time indeed and even said in this interview that he's known that bloody new president for half of his life they're linked politically they're linked as friends and so if there is a difference in opinion between these two people like to exploit that so a lot of interest in this but of course this week putin the prime minister coming out and said you know what it's time that we focus on the task at hand. and as the

months countdown towards russia's presidential election we've got plenty of coverage looking out for you of course on our web site that has got a comical save rest of all the twists and turns in russian politics with expert opinion for you to really delve into what's happening check out the two thousand and twelve section at party dot com. but the man behind a website in finland and that's linked to an internationally wanted terrorist has been tried in helsinki but it's on charges of smuggling people into the country the court's decision will be announced in about three weeks but the case is raising questions over why he's being held over illegal immigration and not charges of supporting terrorism and he's in our house. he may not look like a supporter of terrorism but stores are founded and runs this website center a propaganda mouthpiece for one of the world's most wanted terrorists and declared

by the un to have links with al qaeda don't call mara is responsible for some of russia's most horrific recent terror attacks the moscow metro blast and the domodedovo airport bombing which in total killed almost eighty people and injured nearly three hundred this i caused no kumar of a president transmits messages about those he views as his enemies and carries ads for books about the wife of a mujahideen islamic fighter the situation is that. the standard. and he's associated they are working for the politicization of islamist think they are spring feel about europe they want to make radicals anywhere else stores or is being prosecuted not for aiding terrorism but for illegally smuggling some one hundred individuals into finland people who he calls freedom fighters the way the political center writes about the situation it's contaminating the finished media.

slower and slower writing of the same way. i know what they're writing rewriting of it's. correct to make terrorist attacks this is the company that houses the website located right in the center of helsinki meanwhile opponents of islamic extremism or those who speak out against it are being persecuted by finished authorities for allegedly violating minority rights you whole morry a finnish pastor was defrocked fired from his ministry with no severance pay and forced to divorce his wife to protect her from death threats he received these came from joe kumar himself who said the pastor and his loved ones would have their heads cut off the clerk's church decided he was threatening a legitimate website and criminal cases for inciting racial hatred have been launched all the research he's trying to make something positive out of losing his job because all the guy must have been busy with work or no have. concentrated the

subject and spread awareness about a site that has ripped his life for carte spreading propaganda about a man who is torn apart the lives of thousands and he says now r.t. helsinki i know we've got more story online following up the plight of a pastor in trouble for speaking out against her because it's common for the way in just a few minutes or an hour to the french face off against. the crew of our friends have simply stopped going out at all it's no problem for the book as the french government gets accused of your hard line policies to the far right plus. what looks like this one will serve as a reminder for future generations of man's first journey into space but for now there are still those who can tell the story of eureka got it and that momentous day from there marie adding another layer of color to history.

with r.t. live from moscow now is the operation in libya close it's on its first month coalition members are pledging to keep on pushing until colonel gadhafi goes even though the no fly resolution which allowed military maneuvers in the first place was only to secure humanitarian protection and as artists earth reports from moscow it's making many countries increasingly uneasy. russian president dmitry medvedev warns at the beginning of the week the new libya is a risk that face to collapse that reiterated russia's position that enabled to restore order by countries need to be staying in strict accordance with international resolution russian trying to cause they have the power he'd say when it comes to u.n. security council resolutions you know they need to exercise that in last month's date that device had been

a five day and they did that they have from that they have now that have some as to whether they third if that thing outside the boundaries of that resolution. is a process the u.n. resolution must be fulfilled in accordance with the wording and meaning and not with three interpretations of some states because we voted for a no fly zone to stop the escalation of the conflict so that we could separate the two sides but what we having now is a military operation but it may not be on the ground yet but it's certainly going on up above a number of countries who are taking part and then nato stepped in but the resolution doesn't say it would have. friday russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov visiting poland for a russian a take home friends again libya on the agenda he reiterated much of what the president had said again clarified russia starts making it clear that it's not the

resolution itself that's the problem it's the way it's being implemented is raising questions. and certainly today we witnessed that some nato actions in libya are exceeding the framework defined by the security council it's already being discussed the resolution one hundred seventy three could also be used for ground operations the resolution does not provide for such actions and does not approve them nor does the u.n. deal support regime change in libya because look these matters are really raising concerns and the possible. how hard it is. being called as well. i mean time patrick is from the online political magazine spike says that the alliance has no plan for libya and the real reason for western intervention was publicity and not protection what we've seen over the last month now is basically a geo political mayhem where you have countries who are all in this kind of shabby coalition which is kind of flaking off not really knowing what they're trying to

achieve with no real sense of a strategy and no real sense of an endgame whatsoever the way i would characterize this is more kind of p.r. imperialism these are the kind of the western leaders grandstanding on the international stage for a very short term goals they don't really know what they want to achieve but they're doing it for their own personal reasons to try and make themselves look like kind of great international leaders and actually i think really what they're doing is they're diverting attention away from the kind of. managerial politics they're engaged in a home fundamentally democratic democracy emerging change and these are come from people fighting from the street grassroots going to battle it can be handed to people on a plate. and he was convince that the strikes are only strengthening could i think starts against your position as chris nineham from the stop the war coalition explain to our city. leaving aside the question of the legality of the

operation and everything that we have learned from iraq and from afghanistan tells us and should have told the west there are going to be you cannot bomb a country into democracy or liberation you cannot. you cannot create progress in the country by launching cruise missiles that are in fact what you find is the opposite happens the villian spy. very often the current regime actually becomes strengthened by the time because gadhafi after all from the start was trying to characterize your position is being stooges of the west we're now that particular characterization will appear to have a lot more right. and that in our next hour here on ars he will be hearing why libya will face a ticking time bomb and long after the fighting and. i'm about ninety percent sure there is a new route so all of these people with cars are being exposed to really still be alive faces accusations it's using it depleted uranium and it's like it strikes

which could spell danger for generations probably i think but the question is coming your way shortly. france has become the first european country to ban a wearing full face veils in public places the controversial law carried to force this week meeting with defiance from some muslims leading other e.u. countries to consider following suit and that is daniel bushell reports it could all backfire. into relational tensions even further. in just become a criminal new french law plans covering your face in public is designed to make muslim women integrate in society but the softly spoken single mom says he's had the opposite effect. my friends have simply stopped going out and all the new rulings made some skid to speak out but many valid not to change the way they dress

and move on their minds what the french republic stands for says this businessman he pledges to pay the hundred. fine for anyone who continues to wear a veil and this is taking the heat further that we are seeing france in the european court of human rights it's about freedom of expression. that man was fired as nicolas sarkozy's integration advisor last month after criticizing the president's approach he now calls on french muslims to wear a star was similar to the one forced on jews by the nazis big. these government should learn how to negotiate opinion polls show record low approval ratings for the french government with. the least into racial tension friday prayers came harris muslims are forced to worship on the street the government looks the building of basic public prayer and more discrimination say

worshippers against the muslim population from the scene of the riots in recent years against government policies there are signs of more brewing whether it is a distinct possibility especially when the domestic. decisions and events in foreign decisions and events are coming together and those foreign events have also reached partners in europe joining blames france's illegal call to action of the room of. we built a consulting allies and said in the north african refugees it's only in the food that international ngo analysts fear for longer lakesha regimes like the rule when it pixel its own ethnic minorities its critics of forming the french government over its hardline policies so it will quote proof politicians in the ruling p party

last week quit and all are expected to do the same in the coming days only bush will power to see paris. the issue of integrating muslims into a european society is a gaining momentum in light of the human influx of immigrants from violence torn arab countries it's early which is bearing the brunt of the exodus announced this week it would grant a temporary residence into tens of thousands of people it's something that's angering other e.u. states one m.e.p. told us that the situation shows the border control system desperately needs to be reformed. berlusconi and his minister should have made it very clear that these people have no future in europe because by giving them just do just the hope of getting a legal permission to stay in good he's treating another foot wave so to speak in another migration we from from libya or from egypt from tunisia who find it a possibility to come to europe reality is really striking here i mean for now ten

years my party an equivalence to my part you have been crying out loud against the open borders because it's created so many problems with illegal migration with with international crime and so on which the average population of europe is on a daily basis suffering on earth now because of this flood of migrants we have a pressing situation which is stressing out in this sense as you for national border control the entire shingle idea has fields and therefore we need to step back. into the situation which we had ten years ago where there was actually national border control because it is for the benefit of the national states for the benefit of the populations of europe we need to realize that and i think slowly the leaves the bureaucrats of e.u. is realizing these facts now you can follow the story online at r.t. thought come with more comments and exploit analysis including how other european countries plan to deal with a deluge of france papers from europe and he tells us he that despite promises from the u.k.'s prime minister the country has no real

a mechanism in place to tackle the problem while the e.u. allows freedom. is what do you hear what he has to say and tell us what you think that marty talk about. for fifty years ago it was the trip to remember when a one eyed man took to the sky and went further than anyone else before cosmonaut yuri gagarin's pioneering journey was about two hours or so but it did take him outside of the earth's atmosphere it heralded the era of manned space exploration artists are singing about some of those who witnessed history in the make. i'm feeling all right ready for launch. and i have the honor of taking the cost of a great spacecraft into space first i was very happy to have it was only the beginning of april twelve one thousand nine hundred sixty one the day utica got in blasted off into space orbited the earth and made history.

a feat celebrated across the globe. it was incredible it was hard to believe that this actually happened the national course nice but for this man it was also the day his name shot thing you know he did it is not paris didn't know where i was serving they only knew i graduated from pilot economy i'm at the facility as working it was top secret when they heard that you regard it being sent into space a c.v. it was me journalist came to our house to interview my parents but they knew nothing i think they could have had a heart attack while i was like this so it will serve as a reminder for future generations of man's first journey into space but for now there are still those who can tell the story of you to go about it and that momentous day from memory adding another layer of color to history adequate of scale was a doctor who prepared the garden for his first flight she recalls that very day

fifty years ago. when will gary look more pale than usual he was unsociable and quiet which was not like him and i know he would answer by nodding or a short yes to all questions sometimes he would start humming some tunes this was a different guy in europe him up and hugged and i said yuri everything will be fine and he nodded back. as soon as he got in return to worth he was a superstar a hero for his compatriots those who knew him admit they weren't quite sure how to act around him. and what we were playing volleyball in the garden and a little guy approached us we all moved away embarrassed he was very surprised he said what's up was put together against they were giving way to govern noticed this and it was offended he said let's play fair ok. he'd be hard pressed to find someone he knew who got it and has a bad word to say after all he was chosen not just for his abilities as

a cosmonaut but also for his demeanor and signature smile certainly not a bad reputation to be associated with or this he got in this are silly are arty. all right i'll be back with the headlines in just a. kook .

chosen from among many. he was given a clear cut mission and. the mission he successfully accomplished. became the first ever man in outer space. era of the soviet union one of the best known persons in the world. all his thoughts were focused on so much. good he ever thinks but his life's work would cost him his life . what happened in those few seconds. than what see could see silda barrels still.
