and pakistan says at least fifteen islamic militants have been killed near the afghan border the shoot out was reportedly between two rival groups of taliban commanders well it was not known why they fired on each other pakistan's army declared victory in the order i could side tribal region last year but violence continues in an area still used by taliban and al qaeda insurgents as. the martain army says they have destroyed an al qaeda training camp in neighboring mali the assault in the forest region of why do involved air strikes followed by fierce fighting earlier this month mali and mauritania agreed on a joint military operation to crush al qaeda in the region the terrorist group is believed to have bases in mali where it carries out armed attacks and kidnappings as well as trafficking of arms and drugs. fifteen people have been killed in a nato air strike on civilian sites this according to libyan state television more than twenty others were reportedly hurt by the attack in the eastern town of brega

the t.v. report did not specify exactly when the assault took place the alliance meantime has rejected the allegations saying that it only hit legitimate military targets. in syria twenty people including two children were killed when security forces reportedly opened fire on demonstrators in a new wave of protests thousands took to the streets of several cities to call on president bashar al assad to step down after four decades of his family's in the capital damascus protesters also came under fire as they blocked roads leading to the city's center a three month long crackdown has reportedly left four hundred. and we have more on the situation in syria online for you just go to our website of course that's dot com or you can watch an interview with one independent journalist who says the e.u. sanctions will not bring any resolution to the crisis in syria. also online there's

no fairytale ending for a real life cinderella russian girl turned the global super model but more young the spirit splits rather from her royal husband. and a smooth jazz legend saxophonist dave cause of visits moscow and talk to us here about seeing about his passion for music course that interview with him on our website. dot com. it's now a quarter past the hour here in moscow israel was created as the promised land to provide a home for all the jews of the world but tens of thousands of fled the country over the past few years and more are lining up to leave. fears over security mean many

are seeking a new safer life in europe or the u.s. . rachel shites has no reason to like germany she was born there before the second world war and within six years had been expelled and most of her family killed but the irony is she now wants a german passport. get money out of the german citizenship to help my children and grandchildren which might be shocking if it wasn't so common in israel today in the last decade some fifty thousand israelis have applied for u.s. citizenship a quarter of a million already have a second passport it's unlikely that any other country in the world has such a large percentage of new immigrants preparing. believe it's really irony of the story because he is or was a stubborn to become a shelter for the jewish people and now europe becomes the shell of the juice leaving. this is my fate the american heart of tel aviv here you'll hear more english than hebrew and you'll be forgiven for thinking that you're in the us and

not the promised land most israelis here have a second passport many of them grew up abroad or have a parent who came from another country canadian israeli and i would never give them a canadian and i probably would give up my israeli the american i wouldn't give up because i have family there and i want to be out to go there any time british passport or european passport is a doorway to opportunities eight years ago the bar was blown up by a suicide bomber three people were killed and fifty injured the bar didn't close down but some say the rush for new passports heated up in very peak off of the suicide bombings and there was a feeling of insecurity so yes there was an increase both in immigration and in the demand for passports and that demand has only grown in the last five years israel has been in two wars and many fear another is not far off and the government's policy of settlement expansion has only isolated the country internationally so it's no surprise his leading israeli journalist gideon levy their people are tired

of living in a war zone and the israeli leadership basing its leadership on creating. fear frying comparing against anything and the payoff is a population that feels unsafe with one eye on europe than the sun has processed nearly five thousand applications for a second passport in the last ten years that works out at about forty passports a month and he's only one lawyer working in the field the fate of the drop in world war two. the one who are favored were the ones who got though i'd. call. if you're going to go that. can help you. move out of danger zone then you do it every year more jews leave israel for europe and the states and then the other way around one in five soviet jews has already returned home and with no

israeli palestinian peace talks on the horizon and growing israeli insecurity about the arab demonstrations on the doorstep this so-called insurance passport is unlikely to lose popularity any time soon pointlessly r t television. and r.t. is coming to life in the heart of the russian capital good news stories for the u.s. economy are few and far between with mass job cuts layoffs and a growing national debt however some are staying optimistic saying things could be even worse as our own resident in new york. all the latest data indicates the global economy is going limp are you personally affected this week let's talk about that have you felt the facts of a bad economy a better job this economy is not give me a better job here because i try to go to college and i can because car my car gas

is all expensive at school so expensive so small in the vicious cycle is really bad but i'm happy because brazil is growing like for me is good so is that kind of the way it goes when when some countries are hurting other countries can prosper more yeah greece is looking bad spain is looking bad i feel like we're on the right. so they're just exaggerating not in greece and spain no no i feel like the reports in the u.s. are i'm actually in the military so i do not feel it at all that's the only perk that i'm one perk my job i've been getting steady paychecks for five years yet i can't see that the american military is going to go out of it if they do any time soon and i guess we have bigger problems to worry about the economy is bad and we had to cut back or we had to cut back even more would show we could take cruises to come to new york this. crucial british first time in new york city today so that doesn't sound like you're hurting that it sounds like you're doing ok we have a couple of other things do you think that we've seen the bottom of this crisis or

are we headed for bread lines and even worse things that we've seen the bottom what is the bottom look like. well it was pretty bad during the great depression that is a bottom that we can compare it to i don't know if we'll get that bad but i don't think we're there yet so do you think we can fix it i'm a global level or do you think it's time countries started looking at themselves first i think we have to fix it on the global level but i think we reach country have to lower their their expectations of. the living standard i think we all had to go down whether or not even personally affected the bottom line is the global economy apparently continues to fall flat. now six to one pm on a saturday here in moscow devoted scientists give up the comfort of their homes on the company of family and friends to work in extreme conditions of the ends of the

earth thomas investigates the price that people have to pay to fulfill their passion for new discoveries. antarctic storms are known to be fierce sometimes forcing those who have to endure them to take safe harbor it was pretty bad it was. thirty to thirty five. so it was just rolling around you had to. get in between us. so we were rolling around. trying to make a good road or. the crew of this ship was able to pull through the tempest stand even work with nearby stations to repair their damaged vessel but they were lucky operating in such a remote environment means replacement parts aren't always available and the workers here have to make do with what they can it is pretty hard to get here good equipment to get here sophisticated equipment so. one challenge is to try

to make your big science was a very small amount of equipment because of the hearts and extreme weather conditions there is considered one of the most dangerous environments on the planet and because of this operating down here logistically it can be more than a convenience it can be downright deadly during the same storm the crew from that would go on t.v.'s base lost one of their team when a jeep wall down an embankment into a frigid antarctic lake. that was most difficult experience in my career in such moments i start. just once is to try is out here. but in antarctica time is a valuable commodity and work crews have limited time to prepare the base for winter after the accident happened we didn't even have time to make a stop which the moment required a stop to think to express compassion we had to go on with our work which we finished at about four am the next day the incident sparked an outpouring of international support from the surrounding bases but in

a twist all too appropriate for the harsh realities of working in antarctica the chilean air force plane that was to airlift of the body back to south america suffered an explosion in the left engine as it was taking off the pilots on board of hurting another fatal tragedy by a matter of seconds still the southern continent doesn't provide the opportunity to dwell on the difficulties when the key thing is all problems as soon as possible or the opportunity will be lost when there is no immediate response because shien's and avoid actions that me get hurt for example when the airplane engine failed we have avoided doing anything that could have gotten any of us hurt in any way so we don't have to airlift anybody else of here we have avoided any wrists until another airplane arrives when a system derived from unfortunate necessity which keeps those living and working in the face of danger and safe as possible in antarctica sean thomas. and there are
