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. it through the catch of our t.v. means bellows. conflict resolution analyst then this summit says the metro explosion could be part of a pattern of attacks across european capitals it will fall into a term of similar terrorist attacks that we've seen. different european cities. has not been a target before in this way and it's not perhaps another stargate 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 in other places and

so this would obviously be a number of alarm bells among. the russian capital. reels from the extremist views find a safe haven in an unexpected place finisher authorities ignore the promotion of terrorism under their noses the country's capital harboring a website which openly supports attacks here in russia the report coming your way this hour on r.t. plus. a lot of the riders of russia's politics we look at what's in store for the twenty twelve presidential election. but first in libya fierce fighting is continuing between pro-government troops and rebels near the city of misrata there are also reports of fresh nato air strikes along the country's coast is to disable colonel gadhafi forces but the opposition could be suffering just as much the rest were veterans want the coalition has been using a poisonous substance in its strikes which causes cancer and. they found some

images and got a report just. these leave young men cheer on top of a tank hit by coalition forces unaware of the silent killer they could be breathing as they celebrate though the western coalition denies using depleted uranium in bombings in the country other state. there is a good chance weapons with the highly poisonous review active element have been used that kind of damage that there's a really good chance it was a dream you around i'm about eighty ninety percent sure there was a new round that years to anybody who is on it is getting low level radiation exposure cebu the level of the wind blowing. that means the particles are in the air. so all these people in these cars you. know lisa styria served in the u.s. military during the first gulf war in the early ninety nine clearing out battlefields

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 seen all too familiar you see how those touches are red. see how it. instead of the horns and you've got the flare at the bottom that's a do you explosion to put it you rein him in military terms is highly efficient relatively cheap and powerful enough to penetrate the heaviest armor nato flatly denies its use in libya even though the you want human rights commission has called for a ban countries who refused to sign up including the u.s. the u.k. france and this will the smallest particles of uranium nano particles are the most dangerous. they get into the lot and can spread into any organ including the heart brain liver also chronicles penetrate your cell tissue this is when you get all

kinds of kinetic with patients and people in iraq for example grieving that contaminated air every day and experts say there is no way to fight it in fallujah or in iraq where the u.s. dropped thousands of depleted uranium rounds after the two thousand and three invasion a quarter of all babies are born with a range of horrendous and normality higher rates of cancer leukemia and infant mortality have been found here then after the it tomic bombs were dropped on hiroshima nagasaki the u.s. and the british military admitted widespread use of depleted uranium in bombing bosnia in one thousand nine hundred ninety five for a legacy felt today with cancer and leukemia rates several times higher than normal and got toward medical confirmation all round pollute. iraq but 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 move it into

libya dr doug rockey who was a leading specialist in the cleanup after the gulf war says there is no way of actually decontaminating affected areas but i will give it a written memoranda lie about the health and environmental protection are a mission he in south was exposed to depleted uranium almost all of the members of his team are now dead some theory that the suffering of those bombed in areas where there will be no western troops will go unnoticed and i think. i expected this because i missed and then find it has and the people there and the little just say look everybody is here they will answer. the masons and so forth i don't think anyone listens to him pleaded you rhenium has a half life of four and a house billion years hence its description by some as the silent killer that will never stop killing. our t. washington d.c.

. nato is pledging to continue into a kind of it i think goes but not stress as the coalition is risking thousands of civilian lives and to be had by going beyond the remit of a un resolution of the surface has more now on russia's concerns. all right a foreign minister sergey lavrov visiting berlin for russia may take conference again 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 is raising funds to. struggling 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 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. he also said at the summit of the political

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 put in the prime minister now any time these two get together or there's the possibility of there being a differing opinion or one who will run the international community becomes very excited and that's what happened this week and it all started a head of the bricks and summit in china when the chinese media had an interview with president medvedev and i asked him about some of these possible provisions and how least 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 in bed 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 in the 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 hey look. 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 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 they've been friends for a long time invaded even said in this interview that he's known that blood in your pardon for half of his life they're linked politically they're linked as friends and so there's a difference in opinion between these two people like to exploit that so a lot of interest in this but of course this week put in the prime minister coming up and said you know why. it's time that we focus on the task at hand. well as the months count down towards russia's presidential election we've got full coverage

for you of the build up of t.v. dot com the quick look at what else is on the website at the moment that you discover how a suspected coffee managed to destroy incriminating evidence while he was being questioned by police. find out of brussels is putting its pay for the multi-billion dollar pipeline might not be able to deliver any gas to the e.u. though stories like. this week a controversial burqa ban came into force in france it prohibits women from wearing a full face veil in public places france and become the first country to introduce the measures but other nations are thinking about following suit it was all seized on your bushel reports it could well backfire and stir into racial tensions even further. just become a criminal a new french law hands covering your face in public is designed to make muslim women integrate into society but the softly spoken single mom says he's had the

opposite effect. my friends have simpler start. the new rulings made some good to speak out. not to change the way they dress and move from des moines what the french republic stands for says this businessman he pledges pay the hundred and fifty euro fine for anyone who continues to wear a veil and is taking this page further that we are seeing france in the european court of human rights it's about freedom of expression. that was fired this nicolas sarkozy's integration advisor last month of the criticizing the president's approach he now calls on french muslims to wear a similar to the one forced on jews by the nazis the last these governments should learn how to negotiate opinion polls show record low approval ratings for the french government with accusations this story into racial

tension friday prayers in paris muslims are forced to worship on the streets the government looks the building of basic public prayer rooms 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 come together and those events have also reached partners in europe blames from illegal call to action of rumors. and we will consult the allies and cindy north africa. back to instantly in the food the international ngo analysts fear france has no longer lecture regimes like iran when it picks on its own if minority is the crux of the

french government. policy circle proof politicians in the ruling party last week quit more are expected to do the same in the coming days and you will see. and in britain the coalition government has clashed over how to deal with the flow into the country probably as the david cameron has pledged to cut immigration to tens of thousands or not or for our journey pay and leader of the u.k. independence party says that cameron can't tackle the problem while the u.k. is a member of the e.u. 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 to david cameron for at least starting that debate but difficulty david cameron has got is he will now have raised

expectations within this country that he has a prime minister is actually not just going to talk the talk but he's 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 you 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 and 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 you have an open borders and free movement of peoples we in britain decide ourselves how many people come in every year. the new world order is in the making at the forefront the world's premier developing economies these five countries dubbed the brics but in china this week to talk business and push forward their vision for the future with r.t. and in english the reports from the center of the economic and geopolitical shift.

world's leading economists 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 dollar reserve currency system contributes to any quality it actually contributes to a weak economy because a country's 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 just really important for the survival of the united states commercially it's actually very interesting and i would say a positive thing that. entries are talking about no protectionism open up let's
