the week's top stories helen are seen the america's most wanted terrorists is killed by its troops bringing cheering crowds on to the streets but meeting some puzzles by consistencies indeed isis state's version of that. nato members look at siphoning support for the libyan rebels and get down these frozen assets but rumsfeld wants the alliance is involved but it's getting dangerously close to a ground invasion. three times and arrests in syria with no signs of an end to the fighting today and the e.u. deploys sanctions to force the regime to end its pilot plant down all it says is

that. and as moscow prepares to roll out the big guns for the annual ground victory day parade on t.v. said what it took to defeat the nazis and how the united straitjackets. are welcome g. this is all seen live from moscow now the week's been dominated by the death of the world's most notorious terrorist after ten years on the wrong and laughton was eventually tracked down an affluent. and shot dead but as it is a now we report the world's militants may now seek out a new torchbearer of the terrorism. the man wanted dead or alive for a decade is gone the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin

laden and saddam it was a moment of victory thirty years of cheering doing for others a moment. president obama is in fact it was a u.s. strategic i'm sorry but there's one thing analysts say should not be overlooked osama bin laden may be dad for. threat of terror is very much alive frankly doesn't make much of a difference the bin laden is dead people here were convinced a long one at least for the last two years to be very convinced that the. 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 link 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 or doku umarov you for years has been trying to usurp anonymous role as

the face of international terrorism the al qaeda leader's demise is expected to remain a significant symbol of having little or no fact in the fight against terrorism and could create waves elsewhere in two thousand and one right before the george bush's approval rating was around fifty percent within twenty four hours is shot up to ninety percent so watch for obama to get. 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 sudden meeting and was it was the russian federation and even some of them large and saddam hussein and these days of course we have more of the parallels have been made this week with how the u.s. armed groups that later evolved into al qaeda and the taliban what they're doing now in libya perhaps the new public enemy number one is just beginning his journey

this time in north africa and he's now a r t. the pentagon has released a five home videos all the follow up in they were among the tiriel scenes from the caucus on the compound where the scales the video is author a glimpse of bin laden's life as a fugitive in hindsight one take shakes the al qaeda leader preparing a message to the u.s. believed to have been produced late last year in another video bin laden seen watching a programme about himself on arabic television or bracket ball has criticized but they going to live a pretty full of bin laden's death the president the release of photos of the al qaeda leaders body size national security risks the exact circumstances of his death rate are clear and have raised questions about the legality of the killing. or not to house the story. here we began with an international news bombshell

proudly dropped by the united states there was a female who was in fact in a lot of fire. that reportedly was used as a shield to shield. him from the incoming fire by tuesday of the corner of a major back in the room with bin laden a woman bin laden is what 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 ladin failing to get the facts straight the u.s. has also facilitated a rapid rise. as a conspiracy theories what they did is they told the bunch of different stories some stuff. and that's just the conspiracy machine and they were all on it for a blaze that inflamed 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 bad luck i don't think there was any question but ultimately a photograph or a would be presented to the public we have no need to publish those photographs to establish that was one of 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'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 seed burial has been the target

of conspiracy and acts u.s. officials say was done in keeping with muslim tradition they were determined that. there is a requirement in islamic law that individual be very within twenty four hours as many have noted washington broke its own rule when the bodies of saddam hussein's sons were in arms 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 brock 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. of a fight against. terrorism continues in russia eight militants were killed on sunday in an ongoing operation in the north caucuses one policeman died during the grange well earlier this week a senior al qaeda operative was killed in the southern republic of chechnya the turkish born militant known as a villa could is believed to have been the key financier an organizer of terrorist cells in the region could is also said to have played a role in major attacks in russia as well as assaults on only recently you see the lead role after his predecessor was killed by security forces authorities say they're to death a broken record he says make links with international terrorist organizations. coming up here on r.t. setting their sights on the next target french troops in a range of foreign conflicts who report whether there's room for more in syria.

sixty six years on russia is getting ready to celebrate victory over nazi germany with more nuts but later in the program. to libya now where the rebels have backtracked on claims that he sold blackens by italy rebel officials had said on saturday that they were expecting a shipment of arms very soon in the denied the claims that it will provide equipment self-defense supplying weapons to libya is banned by go the ongoing civil war there has reached cellmate with a the two thousand eight hundred coalition air strikes having so far failed to topple colonel gadhafi on thursday the allied international contact group agreed to set up a cash song for the rebels there russia's foreign minister says this demonstrates how far the coalition is straying from the u.n. resolution on libya. for such conflict with group a contact group has established itself and now is trying to take this monster bill

its equally 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 where the fighting in libya has been dragging on since february has reportedly claimed thousands of lives professor alan cooperman an x. special military intervention thinks the nato led coalition has taken the wrong approach to solving the conflict. if their rebels were strong then a little bit of outside assistance to them might have been enough to topple the government but the rebels were extraordinarily weak in fact the war would have ended more than a month ago if not for intervention the rebels simply. killing would have stopped. more people would be alive in our life today so what the intervention really did is

just to level the playing field this is actually quite common intervention that is intended to end the violence sometimes that's the way it's that i don't see that's exactly what's happened in libya and so off he is he says secure and tripoli his forces are loyal large parts of the country support him and so a little bit of intervention is not going to compel him to step down there are tribal differences between the west of libya in the east of libya this is mainly a regional war between those regional tribes west and east and that would not change with the killing of one man the ultimate solution in libya is going to be a peace agreement it's going to be a peace agreement between the west and the east power sharing and this part of the world the very familiar with those sorts of deals where tribes that are killing each other one day then share power the next day and so that's really where the effort internationally should be focused. in syria tanks and security forces have

reportedly moved into the central city of homs and the southern town of time making arrests along the way with this khan's a day off for at least six people were killed the syrian troops swept through i can still say things are pressing anti-government demonstrators officials blame armed terrorist groups food restaurant protesters say they want an end to decades of repression and corruption one human 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 view has also agreed to freeze all assets and a travel ban to top syrian officials the president of the arab noise association told r.t. the west blowing off both sides everybody is talking about taking a human to human rights protection measures but in fact i think the west very clearly europe generally speaking the u.s. particularly britain is only one of the people who are actually looking for their

own national interests under 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. and also whereby the u.n. and the international community is being reduced from an international organization and a domestic police. whereby you begin to freeze assets of individuals sometimes the individuals don't actually have. anywhere but it's a it's a gimmick or just being used in most of the instances and this to make them fun is counterproductive because it just makes noises but it does not have any effect well i think trying to show the people of these countries whether it's libya or syria or other countries that they are behind the same time entertaining their links with their a game too. i guess to people after an uprising tonight they're really

playing both cards playing both hands and telling both sides that they are with them and may be justified from a national interest of say france or britain or the u.s. but it certainly is not a way to deal with international conflicts. now in several conflicts around the world you don't have to look far for finding french military involvement in libya and france's former colony ivory pegs at the two highest profile events which president sarkozy has driven have made than a question alex 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 mean his country on the pretext of stopping the violence i don't wish to have. been on an air force in syria but i. expected him to. you know it's the same

chain of events that brought to war with libya and now 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 now nicolas sarkozy's government is slipping damascus with sentient 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 for a jokey persian but listen friends behaves as if it's still in control of france they have had their spies there for decades now and the religious movements have had their people there for decades so they're going to do whatever they can to use that influence to change the regime in

a way that they see fit intervention would leave france fighting in four wars 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 your sights on another former colony syria but expose think the real target is serious key ally iran france is growing increasingly angry at tehran's nuclear ambitions and is part of international moves to stop the program to moscow's would become a springboard for the sarkozy administration as it pushes east it wants in syria progress according to the libyan scenario we will probably see a similar development in iran unfortunately that is iran will repeat the syrian scenario russia watches western military interventions with rising along it warns the fueling violence across the middle east doesn't dilute brutally escalating the

conflict is an invitation to a series of civil wars outside forces that should not interfere give advice or take sides in internal conflicts but russia's foreign minister adds 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 valuable shore r.t. paris. julius jones has laid into online social networks for helping the united states collect information and spy on citizens and during an interview with r.t. he said the likes of facebook and google never been roles in the arab uprisings. is the most appalling why they have been they work google yahoo always made us. have built in the very thing for you with

intelligence everyone should understand that. when they had their printed book they are doing free work united states intelligence. it's got a bit. more of what julian assange has to say when we get into in about ten minutes time after most europeans maybe eight miles by a nazi germany surrendered sixty six years ago solemn remembrance ceremonies that held in several capitals the sunday mosque is also marking the anniversary ahead of its ground celebrations on monday. victory is marked on may the ninth at the traditional military parade through red square ahead of the event the country's political elite.

meanwhile everything set for monday's parade is on of the. preparations are well underway ahead of what with the exception probably of the new year's celebrations here in russia is the biggest celebration of the cabin beginning here that 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 same puzzles cathedral of course behind that great square itself that i've been 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 picture in europe victory over nazi germany in which so many people lay down their lives in order to we have the freedoms which 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 as jews are 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 it is celebrated on a night where in western europe and some parts of america in america as well it is celebrated on the eighth and we can now hear from my colleague laura enmities in 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 the street where he was born and where his family lived until war broke out frightened and forced to evacuate to the countryside. when his life was changed forever. every morning with. prototype with. enough sandwiches and things to last you for the. i don't need to get to school.

until one day. we went to school. 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 some toiletries a toothbrush comb a handkerchief and a towel they also had to take their own cutlery and a plate and a mug with them they also took their charm. and of course

a change of underwear. 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 someone thought from welcoming. the woman. not the second time. she. pushed for. child

pushed. so you could really ride. it was an unhappy put short lived placement and james ended up 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 had 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. themselves.

battered is the only word for it look at the gaps where farms have fold and tighten houses. but there aren't you out how how much. 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 i accusation changed not only the lives of the children but also the communities they went to hit and pull bro evacuees erected a plaque in the local church thanking the villagers for taking them when it did test families apart but it also brought people who would never ordinarily have met it's to gather in a city rub shoulders with rural affluence and vice versa and the deep poems forward

stream those times still remain today in the memories of those given kindness and shelter far from home in wartime lore and it artie pull west sussex. the price of freedom from the most precious feet in history. those who fought to win that stand. against the tide of history be reburied. sixty six years of victory on our cheek. now if you want to know more about megan i had time to duck pond for more of it today coverage on the memories of moving first hundred counts of living through the second world war thousands of pictures and videos of the great preparations right here in moscow to find back in my own mind balance.
