access but have failed the walls are massively thick and the site is still subject to top secret cause if occasion the director of the local military museum believes the complex was deliberately preserved to prevent any intrusion naturalist's the bunker was built by soviet prisoners of war that's why it's blueprints still differ from that of still puncturing bunkers across the former u.s.s.r. nobody will crack it open in the near future because it is still a classified facility mr. it may only be a pile of rocks but now the local administration wants to turn the world with ruins into a memorial to be opened in june this year. and the fourteen thousand people that built and worked in the world will facility was closed by the fascists that is why we want to put a fancy around it and make it in a moral to the victims of fascism to preserve and mammary. despite this being

are among the world's was armed citizens you have the right to bear weapons just isn't enough for some there's a movement to allow people to carry their guns however the true cadence quarter of course now those wanting to push the second amendment to the next level. greg rutherford spent years carrying a gun in the bathroom. and interact as a defense contractor. so when he came home to virginia he didn't see a reason to put it down being a former pretty sure if i had thought it was necessary to. obtain a concealed handgun permit to protect myself crackers it might just conceal his gun he wants to carry it out in the open to me it's the constitutional way to curious firearms. and i think. if you don't exercise your rights eventually you will lose them. his wife you're drunk leave the

house without her magnum three fifty seven. checked into this special hand back for packing heat increase i was thinking. even during the war you know. well. while. i was watching t.v. . and. walking. on my hip there are two hundred fifty million guns in the hands of american civilians and rather proud as to me he spent more than twenty five thousand dollars on here. i mean how many pairs of shoes do you have. to do to read each one brings back memory. this was.
6:13 pm
my grandfather shaw graham. used to want to go there when i was in. rutherford carries his gun everywhere he legally can and even encourages his daughters and nephew as well and they would just rather bring a virgin is that a sinister plan through two thousand five hundred members they organize events like this one at parts restaurants and other public places where they openly carry loaded weapons in an effort to normalize their critics say. i believe that you should be able to. carry a firearm in any manner you choose on an airplane and in school virginia tech and columbine are some serious things and they don't allow guns it's always a criminal that gets the guns and you can't have a gun in a gun free zone so guns need to be allowed to campuses the virginia citizens defense league is part of the greater open carry movement a well organized network of gun owners in forty three states. makes it
6:14 pm
basically makes it easier to spread the message that it's. first send in the open carry movement it's about more than security it's about forming a militia defending themselves from government tyranny and even organizing an insurgency and then ford artsy carrollton virginia. and on the way soon the soyuz rocket that's living up to its name. word is a function of the four units here and that's what the spacecraft will take into the sky for the joint venture with you or let us give you a guided tour just a few months. barack obama has hailed the mission to kill osama bin laden as one of the greatest military operations in u.s. history but do you want someone writes investigators want washington to disclose what they were any plans to capture the kind of leader political blogger danielle belton says america has politicized. by putting him on trial. the reality is that
6:15 pm
american politics is just very ugly right now and things that normally wouldn't be politicized have been politicized something that's natural saying hey we have a person who's committed crimes against us let's use the american justice system to bring them to justice has now become a political issue it's now become debatable in the past whenever a terror suspect like for instance the ones involved in the bombing on nine eleven were never trials the debate over trials and come up become very ugly about whether we would have military tribunals or whether we would try them in the united states and u.s. soil and you have all these ridiculous arguments about how if you try them on our soil it's going to attract more terrorists attacks to us why haven't kuantan of our open attracts us to terrorist attacks the just by virtue of fighting the war on terror you're going to invite some criticism you're going to take the risk that people are going to want to hurt you because of it it makes absolutely no sense to get in this debate where the american justice system isn't tough enough to try it you know international terrorists we've tried international terror before we're
6:16 pm
trying them out on us soil so this argument that we can't handle it because of the what the perceived repercussions might be is merely a political argument used to drive it's a wedge issue. turns out she's military on this and is the white house fumble it's the humbling of the often often not it's killing and i think for tonight with president obama himself. u.s. president obama has expressed his frustration about the media coverage of the u.s. special mission against osama bin laden he has nobody to blame but the us administration itself the way it managed the media carriage of the u.s. special operation the us administration has committed one cardinal sin somehow the white house decided that this is a unique opportunity to take a political advantage of this particular mission and it has backfired and feel not only a conspiracy theory but it also demonstrated the a credibility gap of the u.s.
6:17 pm
administration in general and white house civilian dwellers in particular barack obama should have thought not as the u.s. president but as the u.s. commander in chief when it comes to special operations of this magnitude you'd better be hold the information as long as possible that's why the political kneejerk reaction from their white house not only robbed of the deserved praise but also of the credibility trust between the united states administration international media and the public at large in the united states take a stand afghanistan then other countries. and americans could barely contain that flight of the needs of bin laden's death and what journalists no way how often as people in new york where both integrations were pretty much on .
6:18 pm
was the killing of osama bin ladden a major victory in the war on terror this week let's talk about that really definitely think it was a victory i don't know if in a surly agree with everyone rejoicing in the streets but i mean i think it's a positive step for the country so how is it positive that if it's making a celebrated someone's that. positive just from the perspective that it's a one was a horrible person out there in the world one must terrorists in the world that we have to worry about i think it will be a fact on their side and for us we just of a lot better but we need to feel better about it what do you think that does for us closure. probably closure the whole psychology their psychology about it like feels good man is dead. so why don't we need a boogie man isn't there always kind of a need for they are in society there's donald trump i just thought it was him people are saying some people are saying might not be i hope they think. do you
6:19 pm
think that we that the president owes it to the world to approve it or do you think that you know he is right in saying you know i did what i had to do. i pick a certain things they shouldn't pay they don't tell the general public because i think sometimes of course you know some some of the government things cause a panic probably is you know maybe one of the prime anime's of the u.s. but it's it's hard to say you can't celebrate that someone died you know so what do you think of the people that are celebrating and waving the flag and cheering him do that you know even though i mean i'm i'm a i'm not sad. to kill the killed but i'm going to be celebrating i think it's a very good progress. it's retribution i think. you have to pay for thirty you think that it's going to make
6:20 pm
a difference in terms of terrorist actions from this point out. there might be more retribution for. them is it worth it is it worth killing someone if it means more killing you have to. retaliate. so then was it worth it. anyway yes. in another sense. as well as the fact. that they've got him but if it was necessary to kill him well i don't know that's always a bad start for a new beginning whether or not you think the killing of osama bin laden was a major victory in the war on terror the bottom line is at least now there is one last terrorist in the world's. some other world news and breathe the same type of

a modifications and cruise well chosen location the soyuz will be able to be a greater load into space than ever before lower prices than any competitor but the seas makers in russia also stand to benefit more than four decades after its first launch the soyuz should really be showing its age but it remains one of the world's most reliable rockets and in fact orders of bessemer a plant are going up from year to year twenty so use launchers will be produced here by the end of the year several years ago the numbers were in single digits its chief engineer says the rocket remained not just because of its record. it might look similar to the earlier models but inside missile use is being constantly upgraded as are the reason we still use the basic model i believe it's the perfect rocket in its fundamental design we predict that they will be used for another forty years at least the constructors are saying that the transition from prestige driven space race of the cold war era to
