resisted by defiant protesters as security forces surging into more cities enforcing intensifying government suppression of the nationwide demonstrations meanwhile washington and be deploying more sanctions against the regime but a brutal run down with human rights groups claiming around eight hundred are being killed. hundreds more still wrong are going to go to the annual growing victory day parade route said he wanted to defeat the nonsense and how do you know . hello and welcome to the program this is all season weekly review i mean you know shapovalov thanks for joining us this week's been dominated by the death of the world's most notorious terrorist leader after ten years in hiding betrayal to osama bin laden finally ended at a heavily fortified compound in pakistan where he was in a commando raid by u.s.

special forces but as our niece and now reports his assassination will not kill off but will merely nina global newton's seeking a new torchbearer of terrorism. 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 cares about caring for others a moment of embarrassment president obama is in fact there was a u.s.s. ups are but there's one thing analysts say should not be overbooked osama bin laden may be dead but the threat of terror is very much alive frankly doesn't make much of a difference that bin laden is dead people here were convinced a long run at least for the last two years and 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 russian al-qaeda 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 dear joe kumar of for years has been trying to use third been modeled role as the face of international terrorism the al qaeda leader's 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 two thousand war and right. choice 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 little bump from. 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 sort of you know it was the russian federation and it was on a billard saddam hussein and the use of. the parallels have been made this week without the u.s. armed groups that later evolves and shocked the taliban with what they're doing now in libya so perhaps the new public enemy number one is just beginning his journey this time the north that he's in now way arts. the pentagon has released five home videos of a summer bin laden seized from his pakistani compound and they offer a glimpse of bin laden's life and draw an unfamiliar image of the al qaeda leader despite a public image of the confident figure his shirt really has to his speeches a reading of paper looking to the side as if asking for advice and another video of bin laden it's sitting on the floor watching a program about himself the release of the third follows criticism of president

obama who blogs publication of photos of the al qaeda leaders body and while conflicting official white house reports after the operation have helped fuel conspiracy theories. the story. the week 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 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

a bunch of different stories they took some stuff. and there's just so the conspiracy machine they've poured oil on a fire a blaze that inflamed after failing to deliver on promises of providing the public with proof we we are going to do everything we can to make sure that nobody has any basis to try to deny that we got some that i don't think there was any question that it's a really a photograph or would be presented to the public we have no need to publish those photographs to establish that was not a 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 will 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 if you try to get. here is required making islamic law. individually very big 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 is 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 or did not know or in this case you know what to say before you speak and not just one week ago it was brock obama at the center

of a two year conspiracy die down once america's leader released his part certificate but now obama's actions surrounding the killing of osama bin ladin have paved the way for a whole new set of myths and questions surrounding the transparency of the u.s. government very important i.r.c. new york. the fight against al qaeda inspired terrorism continues and russian militants were killed on sunday in iran growing at a terror operation in the north caucuses one policeman died during the raid earlier this week if any al qaeda operative was killed in the southern russian republic of chechnya the turkish border militant known as a dollar kurd is relieved to have been the key financier and organizer of terrorist cells in the region is also played a leading role in major targets in russia as well as assaults on police it had only recently assumed the leading role his predecessor was killed by security forces.

setting their sights on the next target. with french troops deployed in a range of foreign conflicts to report on whether those roomfuls war in syria. sixty six years on russia is getting ready to celebrate victory over nazi germany we'll have more not later in the program. turning to leave you now where fighting between pro and anti-government forces hasn't testified near this issue of this writer the last rebel stronghold in the west of the country insurgents have meanwhile tracked all claims they've reached a deal with italy to supply weapons after claiming on saturday that they were expecting a shipment of arms very soon they denied the claims but that it will provide material equipment for civilian self-defense supplying weapons to be fanned by in bargo the outcome of the ongoing civil war is no clear at the two thousand nato air strikes which have not had any decisive impact thursday there allied international

can't agree agree to set up. an aircraft fund for the rebels but russia's foreign minister says this demonstrates how far the coalition's straying from the u.n. resolution on libya. contact group has established itself and now is trying to take responsibility for what the international community. should be not only libya we're hearing voices calling for this group to decide what to do 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. conflict which is essentially civil war. the rebels have been calling for the nato led coalition to physically eliminate conducting their lines maintains his into target despite having bombed his compound killing some of his family and asia times correspondent pepper escobar things because his dad. pretty. they are.

very good in asian style in effect b.o.o.b. attributing. transitional council. you know let's go back for good where you go it was a. good. moment is that international as we learned for the past week is there no stay good at association it's considered just as. you want to tell him you were there to sneak into the room and be. excited. then you have a. growing lead of collateral damage and this is. so pretty about international law. and syrian military crackdown on protesters has broadened further and troops have stormed the city of homs and three other southern

towns this comes just a day after the country's forces showed that six of millions in the coastal city of banias in the latest violence against anti regime demonstrators according to human rights activists at least eight hundred people have been killed as the brutal suppression of nationwide protests began seven weeks ago meanwhile the u.s. has threatened to impose more sanctions against syria on friday the e.u. also approved a weapons a bargain as well as a travel ban and freeze or assets targeting senior officials but the president of the arab louis association said our hearts as a society international pressure these measures are a gamble which could prove counterproductive. everybody is talking about taking a human human rights protection measures but in fact i think the west very clearly europe generally speaking the us particularly britain is certainly one of the people who are actually looking for their own national interest under the pretext

of protecting human rights secondly i think these measures which are now being played almost every now and then through the un and also whereby the un and the international community is being reduced from an international organization into a domestic police authority whereby you begin to freeze assets of individuals sometimes the individuals don't actually assets anywhere but it's a it's a gimmick which is made used in most of the instances and this to me in fact is counterproductive because it just makes noises but it does not have any effect but i think principally they're trying to show the people of these countries whether it's libya or syria or other countries that they are behind and of the same damn entertaining their links with the regime to i guess to the people of prizing so they're really playing both cards 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 u.s. but it certainly is not a way to deal with international conflicts. in several conflicts around the world you don't have to look far before finding french military involvement in france as former quantity i'm very high spoiling patrons which president sarkozy has driven rationing to daniel bushell explains why theory could become next. limbs cousin and troops during syria's protests his parents they're now live in hiding but he fears france will make things. worse by paul mean his country on the pretext of stopping the violence i don't wish to have jets. are not an air force in syria but i but i really i expect. he notes the same

chain of events that brought war with libya and now on falding it's home 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 slapping damascus with sanctions the precursor to the invasion of libya humanitarian aide says one also will again be their excuse to go in the logic of their own government in the navy is that the shooting there have been in syria. syria was once under french occupation would certainly say france behaves as if it's still in control 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 their influence to change the regime in a way that they see fit intervention would leave france fighting in four walls and

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 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 this part of international moves to stop that program damascus would become a springboard for the sarkozy administration as it pushes east if it meant in syria progress according to the libyan scenario we will probably see a similar development. iran unfortunately that is iran will repeat the syrian scenario russia watches western military interventions with rising along it warns the fueling boylan's across the middle east. deliberately a school is in a conflict is an invitation to

a series of civil wars outside forces should not interfere give advice or take sides only 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 sure r.t. paris. will expand the julian assange has led into online has laid into online social networks for helping the united states collect information and suppliers citizens and during an interview with r.t. the likes of facebook and google played significant roles in the arab uprising. facebook in particular is the most appalling spying machine that has ever been invented facebook google yahoo always made us organizations have built in. for you with intelligence everyone should understand up.

when they had their friends to facebook i dream free work for united states intelligence agencies and building with databases. and him or joining us i have to say when we bring you our full interview in about ten minutes time. more europeans and maybe knox one nazi germany surrendered sixty six years ago remembrance ceremonies have been held in several capitals on sunday also marking the anniversary ahead of the grand celebrations on monday. so the rush of victories marks a major nine for the traditional military parade through red square and head of the events the country's political elite laid wreaths seventeen of them. while everything is set for monday's parade as arsons peace our. 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 like how and to get here 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 but red square itself i've been having a look up there plenty of people all busying themselves around making sure everything goes off 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 we take food 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 judy the fact that the actual surrender of nazi germany was signed so late in the day on the

eight 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 the ninth where in western europe and some parts of america in america's wealth it is celebrated on the eighth and we can now hear from my colleague lower enmities in london about some of the evacuees from grow. britain who had to flee german bombings during the second world war i trip down memory lane for seventy nine year old james roth the 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 was changed forever you were the school every morning with the things you had told to try with. about sandwiches and things to last you for the day. i don't need to get to school. to die.

until one day. but didn't we went to school. and. 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 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 pajamas. and of course a change of underwear. and with a label tied around their neck and the ubiquitous 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 were far from welcoming. not called. for yet another fierce woman. about. the second time. she. pushed for. pushed. so you can really ride. it was an

unhappy put short lived placement and james and his art living happily here in what was then a sweet shop his four year evacuation became a positive experience but now 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 cheering 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. the back. straight.

back to. gaps where bombs would fall. but after about four years. james finished school in london but never settled after the war he moved back to pull as soon as he could evacuation changed not only the lives of the children but also the communities they went to here in pulled evacuees erected a plaque in the local church thanking the villagers for taking them in it did tear 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 thought stream those times still remain today in the memories of those given kindness and shelter far from home in wartime lore and its r.t.e.
