and as moscow prepares to roll out the big guns to the annual grand victory day parade it's it was it took to defeat the nazis and how ignited strangers. a very warm welcome gee this is our see live from moscow now the week spin dominated by the death of the world's most notorious terrorists after ten years on the rather some of bin laden was eventually tracked down an affluent pakistan and shot dead but as any as a not always supports the world's medicine's may now seek out a new torchbearer for terrorism. the man wanted dead or alive for a decade is gone but the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden for some it was a moment of victory years of caring for others

a moment of embarrassment and obama is in fact dead it was a u.s. . 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 the bin laden is dead people here were convinced to long run at least for the last two years to be very convinced that the al qaida 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 ladin has claimed responsibility for an attack instead it's russia now kind only terrorists that have made the most recent remarks moscow's metro blast an airport bombing to have the latest global attacks were masterminded by domestic chechen terribly there doku umarov you for years has been trying to usurp in modern drool as the face of

international terrorism you know quite a leader's demise is expected to remain a significant symbol of having little or no fact in the fight against terrorism it could create waves elsewhere in two thousand was right before the george bush's approval rating was around fifty percent within twenty four hours it shot up to eighty percent so watch for obama to get a little bump from there's a new poll shows obama is up 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 and was it was the russian federation and it was some of the large from saddam hussein and the use of course we have more of a. parallel have been made this week with how the u.s. armed groups that played robots which occupied the taliban with what they're doing now in libya perhaps the new public enemy number one is just beginning his journey

this time in warfare and he's now a r t one. of the pentagon has released five home videos all the some of. they were among material scenes from the pakistani compound where he was killed the videos are a glimpse of bin laden's life as a fugitive in hiding one tape shows the al qaeda leader preparing a message to the u.s. believed to have been produced late last year in another video. seen watching a programme about himself well our television proc a paul has been criticized for failing to deliver a proof of banal the president launched the release of photos of the al qaeda as leaders body sizing national security risks the exact circumstances of his death were made on clear and have raised questions about the legality of the keping more important as the story. this week began with an international news bombshell

proudly dropped by the united states there was a female who was in fact in a line 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 in the room with bin laden a woman in lines was 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 failing to get the facts straight the u.s. has also facilitated or. a rapid rise of conspiracy theories what they did is states hold a bunch of different stories some stuff. and that's just the conspiracy machine if we're all on a fire a blaze that inflamed after failing to deliver on promises of providing the public with proof we're going to do everything we can to make sure that nobody has any

basis to try to deny that we were somebody i don't think there was any question but i also believe a photograph where would be presented to the public we have no need to publish those photographs to establish that summit in line 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're fine how about bringing in certain members of the press along with a panel of unrelated 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 and acts u.s. officials say was done in keeping with muslim tradition the returning to. here is the requirement in islamic law. individually 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. just one week ago it was brock obama at the center of a two year conspiracy die down once america's leader released his birth 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 for ny r.t. new york well the fight against. terrorism continues in russia aides and militants were killed on sunday in an ongoing operation in the north caucuses one the policeman died during the raid while earlier this week a senior al qaeda operative was killed in the southern republic of chechnya the turkish call militant known as a deliver could is believed to have been the key financier and all denies of terrorist cells in the region it is also said to have played a leading role a major attacks in russia as well as assaults on police here only recently received the lead role after his predecessor was killed by security forces say the two deaths and broken because this is made links with the international terrorist organization. coming up this hour setting their sights on the next target french troops or enjoy the range of foreign conflicts we report on whether there's

room for more in syria than. sixty six years old russia is getting ready to celebrate victory over nazi germany would have more or not but later in the program . to libya now where the rebels have backtracked on claims that we sold weapons. a rebel official had said on saturday that they were expecting a shipment of arms very soon claims and said it will provide equipment to cell phones supplying weapons to libya is banned by. the only going civil war there has reached eight with over two thousand nato coalition airstrikes having so far failed . topple colonel gadhafi on the allied international contact group agreed to set up a cash for the rebels but russia's foreign minister says this demonstrates how far the coalition stray from the q.n. resolution on moving. the system took my group the contact group has established itself and now is trying to take responsibility for what the international

community's policy towards libya should be watching 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. well the rebels have been calling for the nato led coalition to physically eliminate to gadhafi but the alliance maintains he isn't a target despite having found his compound killing some of his family major times correspondent pepe escobar things the calls for good after his death are deep evocative they are. they're very good s.s. in asian style any fact they're ready are true to think through the transitional council. you know let's get care about where you get so

the big picture as i see it open moment is going international as we learned for the past fifteen years he's dead now it's very good at assassination it's considered just as. humanitarian work that you sneak into the red and then use nato as a weapon to pick sides in a civil. then you have a truly back is. growing out of collateral damage and this is actually considered less so for a good bit of international law its over. in syria tang sounds like your he forces have reportedly moved into the central city of homs and the southern town of tough france making arrests along the way this comes a day after at least six people were killed the syrian troops swept through ok so city suppressing anti-government demonstrators i think szell's blame on terrorists for the armrest process to say they want an end to docking for passion and

corruption one cumin rights group claims eight hundred people have been killed since the uprising began almost two months ago on the back of the u.s. sanctions the e.u. has also agreed to freeze all assets of a travel ban for top syrian officials the president of the arab noise association told r.t. the west is playing off. everybody is talking about taking human rights protection measures but in fact i think the west very clearly europe generally speaking the u.s. particularly britain is certainly one of the people who are actually looking for their own national interests and the pretext of protecting human rights secondly i think these measures which are now being played almost every now and then through the u.n. . whereby the u.n. and the international community is being reduced from an international organization into a domestic police officer or a g.

whereby you begin to freeze assets of individuals sometimes the individuals don't actually have said anywhere but it's a it's a gimmick which is being used in most of the instances and this gimmick in fun is counterproductive because it just makes noises but it does not any effect well i think bruce are trying to show the people of these countries whether it's libya or syria or other countries that they are behind and at the same time entertaining their links with the regime to get. two people laugh pricing so that they're really playing both playing both hands and telling both sides that they are with them it may be justified from a national interest of say france or britain or the us but it certainly is not a way to deal with international conflicts. and several conflicts around the world you don't have to look thought of for finding french military involvement in libya

and travel in it's all color ivory tastes are among the highest profile camping's present causing is involved then with an impartial knowledge that whether syria could be next in line. stalin's cousin was shot by troops during syria's protests his parents there now live in hiding but he fears france will make things even worse by bombing his country on the pretext of stopping the violence i don't wish to have. an air force in syria but i but i. you know it's the same chain of events that brought war with libya and no on full doing its whole first syrian leader bashar al assad was invited for talks in paris as was colonel gadhafi but at the same time france reportedly was funding opposition groups in both states no nicolas sarkozy's government is slipping damascus with. the precursor to the version of libya

humanitarian aid says one also will again be their excuse to go in the logic of their intervention in libya is that they should intervene in syria also syria was once under french occupation it's only safe rolls behaves as if it's still in control france they've had their spies there for decades now and the religious movements have had their people there for breaking it so they're going to do whatever they can to use their influence to change the regime in a way that they see fit intervention would leave france fighting in four walls that hasn't happened since it was a colonial power the french defense ministry hasn't been this busy in over fifty years already fighting in afghanistan libya and the ivory coast is now turning its lie. on another former colony syria but expose think the real target is syria's key

ally iran france is growing increasingly angry at tehran's nuclear ambitions and is part of international moves to stop that program damascus would become a springboard for the sarkozy administration as it pushes east it means in syria progress according to the libyan scenario we will probably see a similar developments in iran unfortunately that is iran will repeat the syrian scenario russia which is western military intervention is with rising along it warms the fuelling boylan's across the middle east and all those deliberately escalating the conflict is an invitation to a series of civil wars outside forces should not interfere give advice or take sides in the internal conflicts at russia's foreign minister as there could be a sting in the tail he says only chaos in the region helps the very extremist the west wants to stop gaining power the new bushell r.t.

london about some of the evacuees from great britain who had to flee germany bombings during the second world war a trip down memory lane for seventy nine year old james roffey it was this street where he was born and where his family lived until war broke out frightened and forced to evacuate to the countryside james was just eight when his life with changed forever. you were to school every morning with things you told to try with. enough sandwiches and things to last you for the day. that was it i don't need to get to school. today. until one day. they didn't we went to school. things 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 this and in it they were only allowed to put a spare pair of shoes inside the house soon toiletries a toothbrush comb a handkerchief and a towel they also had to take their cutlery and a plate and a mug. they also took their job. 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 somewhat thought from welcoming. and the woman. for yet another fierce woman. the second car i'm. pushed for in sochi could. push. so you can really ride. it was an unhappy put short lived placement and james and start living happily here in what was then a sweet shop his four year evacuation became a positive experience but that wasn't the case for everyone some of these people were not very nice to these children some of them have their own agenda which is

just another person to work the farm or work. or to work in the bakery. some of these people were very cruel according to some of the evacuees often it was such a wrench that the children couldn't stand it many went home to london and accounted for one in every ten deaths during the blitz schools were closed and they ran wild those who stayed were terribly homesick but when they did get home they felt there was little to come back for most evacuees. back to work for. gaps where bombs would fall in and i was in.

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 lives of the children but also the communities they went to hit in full bro evacuees erected a plaque in the local church thanking the villages taking them in it did staff families of parts but it also brought people who would never ordinarily have met together in a city hall that steve rubbed shoulders with rural affluence and vice versa and the deep forwards from those times still remain today in the memories of those given kindness and shelter far from home in wartime lore and it's our duty pull west sussex. the price of freedom from the most. in history. for
