day celebrations and. facebook in particular. use the force the pauling's flying machine because of the. wiki leaks founder julian the sun she tells r.t. about the dark side of social networks. welcome this is r.t. it's telling them sunday morning here in moscow it's kevin zero in with you this hour with a roundup of the week's top stories from us and the story the dominated the news the world's most notorious terrorist was killed after almost ten years in hiding a summer bin ladin was shot during a covert u.s. navy seal operation they found nine eleven was mastermind living in a million dollar mansion about fifty kilometers from pakistan's capital but as artie's in this scenario reports bin laden's death some likely to make the world

a safer place. a man wanted dead or alive for a decade is gone the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden for some it was a moment of victory you can hear some of cheering for others a moment of embarrassment president obama is in fact there was a u.s. eyes i'm sorry but there's one thing analysts say should not be overlooked osama bin laden may be dead but the threat of terror is very much alive frankly doesn't make much of a difference for the better bin laden is dead people here were convinced a long line at least for the last two years has been very convinced that the al qaeda figures or people in this region who by the way cannot number more than one hundred are incapable of carrying out any major attacks it's been years since bin laden has claimed responsibility for an attack instead it's russia now kind of

linked terrorists that have made the most recent remarks moscow's metro blast an airport bombing two of the latest global attacks were masterminded by domestic chechen terribly there doku umarov for years has been trying to usurp the nandrolone as the face of international terrorism al-qaeda leaders demise is expected to remain a significant symbol or having little or no effect in the fight against terrorism it could create waves elsewhere in the two thousand war and right. george bush's approval rating was around fifty percent within twenty four hours and shot up to eighty percent so watch for obama to get a bump from. a new poll shows obama is more than ten percent since bin laden was killed and now of course an opening has been made for the new face of evil. first it was a start million and was it was the russian federation and the king's son had been large hussein and the uses of personally the parallels have been made this week

without the us armed groups that leader of all such loctite and the taliban what they're doing now in libya the new public enemy number one is just beginning his turn this time. he's now a heartbeat. well washington's released home videos have been larkham sings to the compound where he was found in the city of about a bad one clip shows bin laden watching himself on television in what appears to be a news channel in other cities rehearsing a message to the u.s. now over security officials have removed the sound from that saying it could pose a security threat the pentagon offered the tapes as proof that al qaeda is leader was killed but washington says it won't release images of his dead body barack obama backtracked on the cia promises to show the photos saying they could incite further violence report i explained the whole operation has been riddled with contradictions. the week began with an international news bombshell proudly dropped

by the united states there was a female who was in fact is a lot of fire. that reportedly was used as a shield to shield bin laden from the incoming fire by tuesday a big blunder a major back pedal in a room with bin laden a woman bin laden is one of a woman rather bin laden's wife rushed the u.s. assaulter and was shot in the leg but not killed america grabbed the world's attention after announcing the assassination of osama bin laden yet failing to get the facts straight the u.s. has also facilitated a rapid rise of conspiracy theories what they did is they told the bunch of different stories it's at some stage it's back and there's just a conspiracy of machine if we're all on a fire a blaze that in flames after failing to deliver on promises of providing the public with proof we are going to do everything we can to make sure that nobody has any

basis to try to deny that we got some good law i don't think there was any question but i also believe a photograph there would be presented to the public we have no need to publish those photographs to establish that was not bin laden was killed u.s. president barack obama refused to release any visual evidence confirming bin laden's death for fear it would be used to spark anti-american violence critics say this leaves the public with more questions than answers and when they say we don't want to show the photos because we don't want to inflame people we'll find out about bringing in certain members of the press along with a panel of unrelated the forensic identification experts who can come out and say we've studied this the world was able to study the execution of america's other enemy in two thousand and six when the hanging of saddam hussein went viral on the web. shortly afterwards meanwhile bin laden's expedited sea burial has been the

target of conspiracy an act u.s. officials say was done in keeping with muslim tradition it returning to. here is the requirement in islamic law. individuals vary but in twenty four hours as many have noted washington broke its own rule when the bodies of saddam hussein's sons were embalmed and held for eleven days after being killed by u.s. forces but there are so many inconsistency as in all of this that it's incumbent upon the obama administration to be as forthcoming as they can be about exactly what they do and do not know and did and did not know or in this case know what to say before you speak. just one week ago it was broccoli obama at the center of a two year conspiracy that died down once america's leader released his top certificate but now obama's actions surrounding the killing of osama bin ladin have paved the way for a whole new set of missing questions surrounding the transparency of the u.s.

government very important i.r.t. new york. reports coming out of the white suggest the navy seal team sent after bin ladin was only only to kill not take him alive journalist or show returns he says the u.s. was trying to avoid disclosing sensitive information that would have come up during his trial. they obviously didn't want the embarrassing revelations of how the united states basically created bin laden as it's created so many islam ists because it's funded so many islam it's around the world what's so terrible is how the american population are being lied to about how that exactly went on so when you saw those chants of usa around ground zero i think very few people seem to understand that bin laden was a creation of america or south asians as we've known and usually don't make the world a safer place i think that we do have to be on guard but we mustn't allow the united states which after all created this al qaeda operation through its foreign policies to make it even less

a safer place because of what happened is as iran said. you know this this alien forces in iraq in afghanistan all around the world that is what makes the world less stable and let's hope washington it's a full on probably realize that a more isolationist policy would be better for all of us and the other top stories from the week it was success against al qaeda and russia is north caucuses to the top operatives from the terror group was killed in a security raid in the southern republican chechnya the turkish border militant known as a girl or kurds believed to have been a key finance here in organizing for terrorist cells in the region it's also said to have played a leading role in major terrorist attacks as well as assaults on police in russia he recently replaced the previous top al-qaeda agent in the area who'd also been killed by security forces authorities say those two deaths of program because mainly the international terrorist organizations. his cricket else is coming our way this hour on r t this sunday morning they may be social networking sites maybe

just friends the founder of online whistleblower wiki leaks revealed to our team why he thinks that a spy and figure some tell against you got more. than sixty six years on russia gets ready to mark the end of the second world war and remember those that lay down their lives. france's prominent role in nato campaign in libya as well as other military follows abroad is pushed its defense budget to breaking point and the political price could also be a costly one for the french president who is accused of turning his back on the issues as people face at home are seized under bush will report. eat or eat that's the choice faced by modem kids so instead of supporting the elderly france's government is accused of using that money for war. francaise it doesn't have enough funds for

a time and pension is tighten their belts but it now spends over thirty billion euro a year under france france has more than twenty thousand soldiers currently on foreign soil in lebanon kosovo a new military base in the united arab emirates is fighting wars in libya ivory coast and afghanistan each french have a missile costs hundreds of thousands of euros so just five months into twenty eleven the forces of broke even with madame kiddo's pension that's pretty much up the operational budget for the year military excess snaps france's reputation as a careful spender investors now plan to scrap the country's troy's aaa credit rating which lets it go on the cheap course if you have a country which is very rich. it can afford it that france has been named as possibly losing its aaa status sir so everyone you shoot is

closer to losing aaa status france should have stuck to the un peacekeeping remits in the ivory coast and libya wants x. premier dominique de villepin on in now pays the price of gunning for regime change and for each. for integration it's important to follow strict principles the one of the international community the treatment of the united nations costs are reportedly hidden from the public this military advisors back from libya he says for months france has set soldiers on the ground there contrary to its claims we have gone troops and i think by your where. from that we have who already called calls for towards to find the delegates and so on but it was the review but says she worked all her life for a decent retirement politician or asked her if she wanted the money spent on

campaigns abroad cost of war pensioners forced to cover up because they called for the heating they ask are all the military campaigns worth it if the government can't take care of people for a time when your bush will see paris. on thursday the international console group in libya agreed to give the rebels more money with a temporary fund in place within weeks washington's trying to release more than thirty billion dollars of gadhafi is frozen assets to give the opposition but russia says the coalition shouldn't be taking sides in what's effectively a civil war so it's constantly a group of a contact group has established itself and now is trying to take responsibility for what lee international community's policy towards libya should be and not only libya we're hearing voices calling for this group to decide what to do in other states in the region we believe that all sides should be focusing on the peaceful resolution of the situation and not supporting one side in an internal conflict

which is essentially a civil war international criminal court announced it's investigating the gadhafi regime for possible crimes against humanity in libya security forces are accused of attacking peaceful demonstrators as they are of the revolt began three months ago john laughlin from the institute for democracy and cooperation doubts the prosecution will be balanced. i'd be very interested to see how the international criminal court reacts to this i wouldn't be at all surprised if the allegation is true but what strikes me mostly about the international criminal court is that as ever it is showing itself to be the handmaidens of western policy the international criminal court prosecutor here's mark showing in lockstep with the western powers just as he did over iraq he received hundreds and hundreds of applications to prosecute members of the saddam coalition over the iraq war from two thousand and three onwards he didn't take any notice of a single one of them and as you know there's never been any investigation into iraq at all and my suspicion is that the same thing will be true of libya in other words

that he will launch a prosecution against libya against the libyan leadership but not against the nato powers waging the war against it in the chain of uprisings in the arab world the internet was credited with playing a major part as protests were coordinated on websites like facebook and twitter but there's a much more sinister side to the social networks to call into the wiki leaks founder julian assange has been speaking exclusively to us with our. face book in particular. is the most appalling wind machine that has ever been printed of facebook. google yahoo always made it it was all going to questions. for u.s. intelligence everyone should understand about. how different is the price book they are doing free work for the united states intelligence agencies including it's got

a place where it. just remind you cannot call it already you can watch that full interview in about fifteen minutes time it's also streaming on our website as well r.t. dot com along with a lot more to explore as well as ever this is what got lined up for you there today triggering change of american gun owners get fired up over openly carrying their weapons as some even argue for the right to take guns on the plane that's going to generate a lot of debate to find out more online also this one too we give you a guided tour of russian rocket ready to blast off in the european space after a successful simulated launch can find the countdown to go at r.t. dot com. the russian court handed a life sentence this week to a nationalist convicted of killing a human rights lawyer and a journalist in central moscow two years ago a jury found intolerance and hatred with the main motives for the murder of lawyers

thomas last markelov to be representing victims of fascist violence his killers nikita taken off to see a link to an outlaw internationalists group well taken off received a life sentence was handed an eighteen year not kill off was gunned down in broad daylight in central moscow together with a journalist and a sincere for both of the double killing sparked a public outcry. u.s. still to the point missile defense facility in romania has angered russia which says the project may threaten its security the agreement is part of a bigger plan for a missile shield in europe in which moscow one sunny part of russia's envoy to nato says the alliance and washington don't seem to be keen on that. we're under the impression that the military dialogue is running ahead of the political dialogue the american policy clearly refuses to consider russia's interests they're also refusing to provide us with guarantees that the proposed u.s. missile defense system is not targeted at russia the americans want to deploy

interests to promote sales capable of shooting down our nuclear weapons near our launch sites in ten years time they'll be able to shoot down a large part of our nuclear arsenal if it's launched one at the same time which they keep telling us that it's not aimed against russia they see reporters we want them to give us written guarantees but most of the time the u.s. diplomats and politicians simply smile back at us. washington says the missile defense project will help protect your of from countries like iran and north korea or moscow for painted leave voice concerns it could also harm its security so far no compromise about the plans being breached. ellis said or coverage of the final preparations before russia celebrate victory day. and the country is running itself firmly into the national consciousness it's now

sixty six years since soviet soldiers defeated the nazis in what's known here in russia as the great patriotic war and for all the excitement on the eve of the big event we're joined now by our team's correspond peter all of us just behind red square for us this morning wanting to play good to see you this is a huge day for millions of people all across the country and for those who are little more about its significance and what's being done to market. all those preparations are well underway ahead of what's with the exception probably of the new year's celebrations here in russia is the biggest celebration of the calendar year here now victory day a massive celebration in russia marked by a huge parade across red square just behind me over my shoulder you'll be able to see said. of course behind the red square itself having a look up there plenty of people all busying themselves around making sure everything goes up without a hitch tomorrow to commemorate sixty six years since victory in europe victory over nazi germany in which so many people laid down their lives in order to we have

the freedoms which we we take very much for granted in our lives today now this is a huge holiday as they say here in russia and very much one that is celebrated a widely here in moscow as well as across the whole of the country now the reason that in russia they celebrate victory in europe day on the ninth of may is due to the fact that the actual surrender of nazi germany was signed so late in the day on the date that it actually fell on the ninth in moscow time so that's why. it is in russia and the rest of russia is celebrated on the night where in western europe and some parts of america in america as well it is celebrated on the eight now we can now hear from my colleague laura and that is in london about some of the preparations and the celebrations that are planned there. a trip down memory lane for seventy nine year old james rafi it was this street where he was born and bred his family lived until war broke out frightened and forced to evacuate the country

. when his life with changed forever. every morning with things we try with. enough sandwiches and things to last you for the. school. evacuation. until one day one. we went to school. and things are different happened started. with hundreds of others including a sister and brother he walked from school to his local station their parents weren't allowed to walk with them parents were issued with a list of the things that their children could take with them when they were evacuated they all had

a little suitcase like and in it they were only allowed to put a spare pair of shoes inside the house some toiletries a toothbrush comb a handkerchief and a towel they also had to take their own cutlery and plates and a mug with them they also took their to charm. and of course a change of underwear and with a label tied around their neck and the because it's gas mask they made their journey into the unknown neither they nor their parents knew where they were going they had a stamped postcard to send when they got there to let their parents know they were safe for james that place was pulled a village of around two thousand people near the south coast here and in other reception areas villagers were legally required to take the children in although some with thought from welcoming. not called. and the woman arts and it.

those who stayed were terribly homesick but when they did get home they felt there was little to come back for mostly back yuri's if they really. caught them selves to sleep well in a separate. sided i showed me right. back to the only. gaps where bombs would fall right in the house and. there are fewer. but after about four. james finished school in london but never settled after the war he moved back to pull as soon as he could if accusation changed not only the lights of the children but also the communities they went to hit in pull evacuees erected

a plaque at the local church thanking the villages taking them in it did staff families apart but it also brought people who would never ordinarily have met together in a city poverty rubbed shoulders with rural affluence and vice versa and the deep cold spell would spread those times still remain today in the memories of those given kindness and shelter far from home in war time lure and it our t. pulled west sussex. the price of freedom from the movie. history. for two we stand. against the tide of history the reverse. sixty six years of victory monarchy. much more than tomorrow from us headlines from around the world now the
