means conjugal wrongs a man steps on the platform of a crowded metro station who sees how the back on the floor and walks away for several minutes you can see him cold blooded team pull the right moment trains going in both directions make a stop doors open. i started to scream out in palo alto meaning you have any amount into a woman coming to be outside into the fresh air they taught my mag and didn't leave me until the ambulance arrived. that's mine and hooman majd be on where they see not only does need hospital but the life of your unborn child as well. come on the day i was going to the city center to buy vitamins and terrible does not believe i got all that much me and my people without with a missing leg and hands i'm six months pregnant when my thoughts were about the baby. by insisting to rina huddled to protect she was locking people

supported her in the big smoke and didn't travel during the ride. the train was full of paps and then there was this bang and all of a sudden ceiling collapsed lots of people lying on the platform older has stepped over something and then i still. this was a girl's body. lena was at the very epicenter of the lost and one of the few to regulus mystified in her carriage and canvas but others gave her a helping hand to escape the carnage from the city's busiest metro station this is where the two lines saw the meanest subway intercepts and this explains why there was so many commuters during this inning rush hour on monday i witnessed a save those hollywood that were carried out onto the street from these actions and many of those borders still remain in critical condition and hospitals across the system the news of the tax collector phone systems being clogged like people

desperate to contact by loved ones for some delays and getting through the longest moments of their lives mine is for. mugs who should call me to say there was a terrorist attack this percent then the line broke up when we came to the scene and saw her we were shocked and again it was all torn apart as if she had been hit by a shotgun pellets only two ways to handle crowds will come it is not going to be but she was trying to ease our shock you don't cry this is not my blood it shit the blast was that of others caught up in the actual city 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 or cursed terribly people need to understand and value every moment of their lives and remember those who died. i'm sorry i can't talk. to the church or what our team needs yellow. conflict resolution a list. dennis some of the sounds the minsk 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 now minsk has not been a target before in this way and is not perhaps another stargate for a terrorist attack but clearly. is not immune to these kind of incidents that we've seen in moscow that we've seen in london that we've seen in other places and so this would obviously raise

a number of alarm bells. in the russian capital. and while the teller of surreals from that deadly attack makes stream most of us find a safe haven in the next unexpected place finish all the organs ignore the promotion of terrorism right under their nose with the country's capital harboring a website which openly supports attacks here in russia. and the runners and riders of russia's politics we look at what's in store for the two thousand and twelve presidential election. something are sentient to libya where fierce fighting is continuing between pro-government troops and rebels in the city of misrata we're getting reports of fresh nato air strikes in the area the aim is to disable colonel gadhafi his forces but the opposition could be suffering just as much u.s. and more pressure on this war and the coalition has been using a poison and it strikes which causes concern and retentions you may find it some

images in their garments to construct or disturbing. the. these libyan men cheer on top of a tank hit by coalition forces unaware of the silent killer they could be breathing in as they celebrate though the western coalition denies using depleted uranium in bombings in the country others say there's a good chance weapons with the highly poisonous radioactive elements have be used that kind of damage that there's a really good chance that with the new road i'm about one hundred percent sure that isn't. the first only who's on it is going to. see who the level of the wind blowing. that rules the particles are in the air. so all these people in these cars are exposed lisa syria served in the u.s. military during the first gulf war in the early ninety nine clearing out battle

fields in kuwait back then the u.s. dropped more than three hundred fifty tons of depleted uranium over kuwait and iraq pictures of bombings from libya seem all too familiar you see how those totals are read that's the burning see how it shoots out instead of a cold straight up the flare and. that's a new explosion it polluted your brain him in military terms is highly efficient relatively cheap and powerful enough to penetrate the heaviest former nato flatly denies its use in libya even though the u.n. human rights commission has called for a ban countries who refused to sign up include the u.s. the u.k. france and this will the smallest particles if you're a new nanoparticles are the most dangerous inhale they get into the blood and can spreading to any organ including the heart grain liver also particles penetrate

your cell tissue this is when you get all kinds of genetic mutations and people in iraq for example being that contaminated air every day and experts say there's no way to fight it in fallujah or in iraq where the u.s. dropped thousands of lead to radium rounds after the two thousand and three invasion a quarter of all babies are born with a range of horrendous abnormalities higher rates of cancer leukemia and infant mortality have been found here then after the in tommy thomas were dropped on hiroshima and nagasaki the u.s. and the british military admitted widespread use of the radium in bombing ostomy nine hundred ninety five where a legacy fell to the day with cancer and leukemia rates several times higher than normal medical confirmation all round flu. iraq that the health effects of the radium are there and we see it throughout iraq or saudi arabia kuwait afghanistan somalia the balkans and again now we're seeing it moving into libya dr

dog rocky was a leading specialist in the cleanup after the gulf war says there is no way of actually decontaminating affected areas if i was going to remember around a lot about the health and environmental protection re-emission he himself was exposed to depleted uranium and almost all of the members of his team are now dead some fear that the suffering of those bombs in areas where there will be no western troops will go unnoticed happens in business i suspect just because it's there. and then you start saying hey look everybody is dying here they've put. up with nations and so forth i don't think anyone depleted uranium has a half life of four and a house billion years hence it's description by some as the silent killer that will never stop killing. our washington d.c.

. i was pledging to continue until colonel gadhafi goes but moscow says the coalition is risking thousands of civilian lives in libya by going beyond the limits of the u.n. resolution. russia's concerns. friday of russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov visiting the lead for a russian a take home pres i get libya on the agenda he clarified russia's starts making it clear that it's not the resolution itself the problem it's the way it's being implemented this raising question. certainly with today we witnessed that some nato actions in libya are exceeding the framework defined by the security council it's already being discussed that resolution one thousand nine hundred. the three could also be used for ground operations the resolution does not provide for such actions and does not approve them nor does the un deal support regime change in libya it

was lucky with that you also said at the start that the political and diplomatic solution exists at the military it's a slow day to slow the situation heavy weapons and also make the best way to do it. right that what we have plenty more coming your way this hour here on r.t. and muslims are in for or in france the country brings in a ban on traditional veils it's aimed at improving integration critics say the actual effect could be very different also. a new world order is in the making at the forefront world's top five leading economies as the brics leaders gathered in china to talk business it became apparent that if your political and economic system power is in progress. we've asked you live from moscow the publisher of a finnish based propaganda website the chechen terrorists has gone on trial

prosecutors in helsinki have overlooked mikhail a stall shows extremist links instead accusing him of smuggling people into the country he said he said now it has been following the court proceedings. he may not look like a supporter of terrorism but mikail stores are founded and runs this website center a propaganda mouthpiece for one of the world's most wanted terrorist and declared by the un to have links with al qaeda though kumara is responsible for some of russia's most horrific recent terror attacks the moscow metro blast and the deal made out of the airport bombing which in total killed almost eighty people and injured nearly three hundred cycles doku umarov a president transmits messages about those he views as enemies and carries ads for books about the life of a mujahideen islamic fighter situation is that the standard.

and he's associated they are working for the politicization of islam used to be our spring field of europe they want to make radicals equal 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 that the focus and the writes about the situation it's terminating the finished media is. slower and slower writing of the same way. under what are you writing rewriting of it's couric to make their of 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 phyllis authorities for allegedly violating minority rights you home all are 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 of himself and said the pastor and his loved ones would have their heads cut off the clerks church decided he was threatening a legitimate website and criminal cases for inciting racial hatred has been launched all the research he's tried to make something positive out of losing his job because all the time i have been busy with my work i have no home but he will concentrate on the subject and spread awareness about a site that has ripped his life apart already propaganda about a man who is torn apart the lives of thousands and he says now r.t. helsinki. this week russia's president and the prime minister cool the media attempts to portray them as rivals they are seen as the two major candidates for the upcoming presidential election in two thousand and twelve but they say it's too

early to speculate about the upcoming race cars are to transform our six points. certainly it has been an interesting week in a 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 near putin the prime minister now anytime 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 and it all started a head of the brics it's a summit in china when the chinese media had an interview with president medvedev and they asked him about some of these possible the visions and how these two men think in that interview president medvedev said look 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 that 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 prompted the united russia party which blood and if i didn't is the head out to start kind of saying no no no we want our candidate to be in that position as well and kind of him came towards putin basically allowed putin to go in front of the united party officials and say hey look this is all premature we still have these 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 a 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 and they've been friends for a long time to get even seventy percent of you get he's not only what he meant to be for half of his life there are links politically they're linked as friends and so there's a difference in opinion between these two people liked to exploit that so

a lot of interest in this but of course this week putin the prime minister coming up and said you know what it's time that we focus on the task at hand. as the months countdown towards russia's presidential election we have got the full coverage of the build up for you dot com you can stay abreast of up all the twists and turns in russian politics with expert opinion allowing you to really delve into what is now the two thousand and twelve section of our web site. also witnesses who say aliens so mean to earth share their experiences explore what russian city has become something about u.f.o. hotspot for us photos sightings all of that out of balance and dot com. now a controversial book about it has come into force in france it prohibits women from wearing a full face veil in public places france has become the first country to introduce the measures with other e.u. nations are thinking about following suit but it's also use a daniel bushell reports it could well backfire and

a star into racial tensions even further. hin has just become a criminal a new french law bans covering your face in public is designed to make muslim women integrate in society but the softly spoken single mom says it's had the opposite effect. my friends have simplist stopped calling out all the new rulings made some to speak out and many valid not to change the way dress the move on the morning is what the french republic stands for says this business when he pledges to pay one hundred fifty euro fine for anyone who continues to wear a veil and does take the speech but then also we are seeing france in the european court of human rights it's about freedom of expression i've read that was why this nicolas sarkozy's integration advisor last month criticizing the president's approach to keep what he now calls on french muslims where stars

similar to the one forced on jews by the nazis big. loss these government should learn how to negotiate opinion polls show record low approval ratings for the french government with thank you zation deliberately stirred into racial tension friday prayers in paris muslims were forced to worship on the street a couple blocks the building of basic public prayer rooms more discrimination say worshippers against the muslim population strong the scene of the riots in recent years against government policy there are signs of more well that it is a distinct possibility especially when the domestic. decisions and events in foreign decisions and events come together those already events of also outraged partners in europe. blames france is illegal their call to action of romance. and

we've built a consulting allies and said that in north africa. it's an. international and list the across there is no longer going to make sure regimes like you are wrong when it picks on its own ethnic minorities looks crites all we need the french government for their own policy and the political approval of politicians to do as usual if he quits more retreat to do the same in the coming days the new bush policy. in britain the coalition government has a clash over how to deal with the flood of immigration into the country prime minister david cameron has pledged to cut immigration down to tens of thousands if our m.e.p. leader of the u.k. independence party says that cameron can tackle the problem rather u.k. is a member i think he. if you have huge mass immigration that happens rapidly into an

area and if people don't speak the same language then what you get is the ghettoization in cities and towns and you get a dislocated society so no i mean full marks for david cameron for at least starting that debate the difficulty david cameron has got is he will now have raised expectations within this country but he has a prime minister is actually not just going to talk little police going to walk the ward he's going to deliver and the point that i'm making is he cannot do that because we're members of the new because we have open borders we have total free movement of peoples within that union now since two thousand and four since poland lithuania latvia and now bulgaria and romania join the union they are very much poorer countries most of them learn english as their first foreign language i we've had a huge number of people from those countries and the argument that i would put to mr cameron is yes let's have this debate but let's not have the e.u.

having open borders and free movement of peoples why don't we in britain decide ourselves how many people come in every year. with us you live from moscow a new world order is in the making at the forefront the world's premier developing economies these five countries dubbed the brics met in china this week to progress in a sense push forward their vision for the future that is a really good reports now from the center of the economic and geopolitical shift. brazil russia china india and this year's new kid on the block south africa have gathered on the island of forming a united front against the old world financial. build stronger lead to growth for global financial architecture the new. dynamic development of new centers of economic and political influence. political issues work presently discussion economy of the day after all the organization is well placed to hold. shots in the

financial world and let the numbers do the talking the five countries accounted for eighteen percent of the world's economy in two thousand and ten they comprise almost half of the world's population so after the form it became apparent brics is a force to be reckoned with it's out with the dollar and with something else one of the main messages relayed during the summit and strongly supported by some of the world's leading economies and the dollar has been very unstable. understandable given the difficulties you might say of american economy you know our performance was not a us dollar the dollar reserve currency system contributes to inequality it actually contributes to the economy because it countries are setting aside literally hundreds of billions of dollars. saved cautionary savings no naming names but it seems obvious that brics is not happy with the way the world's financial system has

been run by the usual powerhouses the us and europe so should they see the organization as a threat it seems to be quite the contrary coming today you know the brits are extremely important for the survival of the united states commercially it's actually very interesting and i would say a positive thing that the bric countries are talking about no protectionism open up let's have more trade. and the the u.s. has been less willing to be aggressive in that arena the u.s. and europe may still be struggling with the economic crisis and pumping their funds into questionable military campaigns and though they try to hold on to the reins as the louvers of the world's economy breaks seems to be laying the foundation for an entirely new structure of finance politics like. china. are to. now exactly fifty years ago this week your garner made history when he became the

first man to go into space and was a monumental achievement marking the beginning of a new age the age of amanda space exploration. our senior white house and that some of the people who knew the legend and passed. i'm feeling all right ready for launch. and i have the honor of taking the cost of the great spacecraft out into space first i was very happy to have that it was only the beginning of april twelve thousand nine hundred sixty one the day you got it blasted off into space orbited the earth and made history. was. a feat celebrated across the globe it was badly shared he was incredible it was hard to believe that this actually happened or celestial a course i seen but for this man it was also the day his name shocked to see you know i definitely was not the piers didn't know where i was serving or was there

any of you know i graduated from pilots academy to cement the facility i was working it was just secret only heard that you regarding being centered on space this you know it was me janice came to our house to interview carers when they knew nothing i think they can help protect. one of us like this 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 memory adding another layer of color to history adequate off scale was a doctor who prepared the garden for his first flight she recalls that very day fifty years ago. ghauri looked more pale than usual he was on sociable and quiet which was not like human oh 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 your team up and hugged me and i sat yuri everything will be

fine and he nodded back we're going to think as soon as we 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 you know what i mean it's not a normal playing volleyball on the guarin another guy approached us we all moved away lyrics it was very surprised he said what song that was put together for those who played against him were giving way to govern noticed as it was offended or say it was play fair ok for several years. he hard pressed to find someone he knew who got him and has a bad word to say after all he was chosen not just riza billy's as a cosmonaut but also for his demeanor and signature smile certainly not a bad reputation to be associated with for this you got it. this are silly party. all right back with the headlines and just like this to us.

they come in as a. some want to play with. others one says spirits. but she says that the river.
