from murder victims and dead soldiers families one hundred sixty year old paper will print its final edition sunday tabloids being axed by rupert murdoch following the increasingly damaging allegations a furious reaction gathered pace of this week when it emerged that the paper may have accessed the voicemail of a missing teenager milly dowler who was later found murdered it's thought some of her parents desperate messages were white possibly giving false hope that she was still alive media analyst stories tells arky the scandal is likely to sound the death knell for politicians cozying up to murdoch's newspapers but says the mobiles empire fans i think something changed this week you know for decades british prime ministers have been on their knees to the to the murdoch press because they knew that when the sun which is his main daily newspaper to get in britain when the sun supported by british politicians running for prime minister if it's you know they want it and then you find in the next day you find that prime minister reading the sun looking like an idiot saying well the sun got me elected i mean so this is the

meaning of british democracy is missing of him ocracy really which the murdoch press was at the heart of but i think it was there for a silence as well because important people needed the murdoch press and they couldn't be they couldn't attack it because of that and i think a line was crossed rupert murdoch has a very finely tuned business brain he has a lot of things going on now one of them is to purchase the largest satellite network in britain called b. sky b. and that decision is about to be approved by the government that was in jeopardy i think he felt it as a businessman he had to sacrifice the news of the world because it in terms of the whole news international it's a tiny part of or back but i tell you the most important thing bill in my view is that the political class had been sucking up to rupert murdoch for so many years including prime minister david cameron he now has to stand back and say no i can't do it anymore it's going to bad. massive explosions in turkmenistan city of abidjan

have reportedly left happens population without utilities electricity gas and running water and government statement says they were caused by firework materials and that no one was injured but local media sources claim the situation is far worse saying witnesses are reporting for you tallies and injuries there's also reports of looting a nearby buildings being heavily damaged with windows broken glass shattered telephone lines have been disrupted leaving distress relatives elsewhere unable to contact family and friends military and emergency vehicles have been dispatched to the scene from the capital following an emergency cabinet meeting chaired by the president there is still a little official information though on what actually happened. all right we have our teas and use in our way of life for us in cairo's tahrir square where the protesters are now gathering. a little and you saw so can we expect another wave of revolt to hit egypt. but really depends where you ask here

of course the protesters think they're going to keep fighting to the end on the way it all played out of course back in the winter was that some eight hundred people ended up getting killed dozens have been thousand injured nationwide and really they say that their revolution was still good because none of the changes had actually happened in fact some people are saying that they think it's even worse now that will barak is gone but it's more a question let's media freedom and that's why they're coming back to tough here and that's the chanting that we're going to be hearing today i'm just going to step out of the sights and let you take a look at what's happening on the square i'm really bad i had visibly counting numbers but it does look like there's i would say at least one hundred thousand people here if not more of their time take you don't feel that things became back to top three or also we the people demand the defeat of the regime and that's something we're going to be fury throughout the day i have to say one of the most interesting things that i seen this morning is not there's really. no police here

there's no security a cost of billions making sure in fact that police don't make their way to onto the scene where civilians are doing security checks are with chris by a woman who was very seriously from the mind made up stuff out of my make up for us to see coming to my i phone parts was very skeptical of why was coming here and then which i realize i was unarmed when she heard me started hitting me with joy for people realize that people are really coming to the square not to go violence not to bother them it's about their voices being heard they're quite happy they might welcome me again i'm going to move here is rather joyous was my god it was a bit of tension the muslim brotherhood for the first time is taking part in these protests and some people don't like that because originally back in the winter they were against it now more and more political parties religious groups are taking part in it said up to a million people could come out the top three or to say what they want to do what they're saying is take back their revolution. their revolution

was hijacked and they want it back egypt's uprising might have ousted president mubarak but to them he's far from gone. we go through the books of the mubarak's the cable ship is to a lifetime when the taste of freedom was short lived the military is in full power mass media is being choked and oppression still rampant worse than before and i think they werent catching activists as much as they are doing now and taken to a prison i guess now they're being really violence they want to kill the revolution they still interesting he's known simply as uncle austen here in egypt and social network or with a twitter army of some thirty thousand followers the military trials of civilians have to stop immediately immediately this is in a lot of them a job demands we're putting forward one of many demands including. transparent

trials for the fallen regime and the purging of corrupt officials unfortunately. they had this kind of revenge with water that when he fell down because it's over everything is going to be fine and the country follows cleaned up but if it's not. the true. early in the week protesters began setting up camp here on top career for what they're calling the next phase of the revolution but this time they don't just want hundreds of thousands to come here they want to take truck rear across egypt and get rid of all the book little people like myself have been arguing for taking you to the factories they can pay you to be taking you to the work places meaning in every single word police we have and there is a smell when it was never interested in politics until january she was shot with twenty three pellets by riot police twenty of which are still in her like the pain

is finally gone but her perseverance is not the barrier of fear is gone. and she will continue to fight to the end i want every every egyptian citizen to be treated as a human being every protester has their own vision of the egypt they're fighting for some want a constitution bend free elections others think the new laws should follow the vote but one thing that brings them all together is that this egypt is not the end and he's in no way are cheap kyra. stay with us here on r.t. still ahead a final step in nasser history is quite gloomy whether atlantis is set to lift off on the last ever shuttle flight along thousands wait for the momentous larger problems it's the end of an era possibly the right.

premier remakes a top russian d.j. hopes his version of lavender putin's blueberry hill will be a future classic for. the first though crowds of pro palestinian activists have been blocked in european airports they're trying to head for a television mission to ease the gaza blockade some have made it through carrying signs calling for a free palestine but have met with an angry reaction from israeli passengers in your arrivals hall or his policy or has more from israel's ben gurion airport. well we're talking here of some six hundred israeli police and security officers both inside and outside ben-gurion international airport and city at this stage it does seem a little excessive when you bear in mind that almost all the activists have been prevented from actually reaching the state court now we are talking with a number of high profile left wing israeli activists by telephone and they're

telling us that they've been warned by the israeli police that if they state in the state court they will be arrested i have spoken with the israeli spokesperson micky rosenfeld and he denies this is it that they will come to london but that if they course trouble then they'll be arrested the israeli police have the names of three hundred and forty two passengers and changing to participate in the so-called fry tellus which is really an attempt to draw attention to the people of palestine we know that all of those three hundred and forty two already two hundred have been stopped from boarding planes in european cities but that means that another one hundred forty two are on their way here i'm expecting to arrive in the coming hours israeli authorities did give names of these cattle just to foreign airlines they say that it was the airlines responsibility to make sure that these passengers did not fight israel and that if in fact they do the airlines will need to actually send them back home and cover the costs of doing that the whole attempt of this try to live is really to attention to the palestinian people in the situation of one

and a half million gazans who are living in one of the most densely populated areas on earth the israeli authorities and the israeli police and security by doing so much attention on this attempt only actually hoping the activists in furthering the goals and its people a lot of criticism here in the israeli media they say that israeli authorities are acting almost as if they preparing for a war not for a demonstration journalists including r.t. have been receiving instead of press releases almost military sounding updates with intelligence reports intelligence assessments and this is in line with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying that these activists will be dealt with accordingly now with keeping track on. mind is a huge buzz particularly on twitter we know from twitter feeds that only german passengers except for one has been able to board flights we also know that there is eight people should boycott those airlines that are actually participating with the israeli authorities and again you need to remember that demonstrators and activists were never under the loose and that they would actually reach gaza they say that

the goal is to draw attention to the plight of the palestinian people simply in respect of a goal they seem to have been successful. as final shuttle flights are expected later friday with atlanta is due to lift off of the bad weather may keep it grounded a little longer that want to turn up to a million spectators waiting to watch the shuttle program's last ever launch which argues guys should be on reports what will be an unforgettable moment for may be painful for others. empty shells of what was once florida's thriving space coast. up to ten thousand people will be out of a job as soon as the last shuttle makes its final voyage back to earth home to many of the kennedy space center workers rock which is on the verge of becoming a ghost town without the space program or pretty much nothing i mean this is what you know because your beach is built on the space program you know it's a lot you're going to be sorry me out of people welfare left and right food stamps

anthony chris a fully spent twenty three years with the shuttle launch team as an engineer with a plan pissed blasting out for its final mission it means the end of his career with nasa and the beginning of uncertainty a year ago he started looking for a new job to no avail i have applied for jobs and so far i haven't gotten any concrete responses there's not that many jobs out there for sure the u.s. scrapped its shuttle program and now wants the private sector to come up with ways to get astronauts to space several companies are working on new vehicles but it's not clear when they'll be able to deliver them one thing is certain though they'll be able to hire only a fraction of the skilled space industry workers will be out of work this is the first shuttle ever it never made it to space but it was used for tests before the columbia shuttle first launch into space in nineteen eighty one

a total of five shuttles had been used for space missions since that two of them were lost during tragic accidents a nine hundred eighty six and in two thousand and three those lawsuits and the skyrocketing price for each launch gradually less to the cancellation of the program but critics say it's hard to estimate the losses that the end of the shuttle program will bring about both for the space industry and the people involved i think it's a really bad thing for the united states. to lose the skilled workforce is difficult to rebuild it for years the shuttle has been the only vehicle that could very crew and a massive load of cargo to space officials say one of the reasons the program was scrapped is that it's safer and cheaper to send cargo and people separately something that russia for example has been doing for many years but whatever the reasons for scrapping the thirty year old program for those who devoted their lives to it is the end of their dream job it's kind of sad because i've already seen

a lot of here with my friends go and nobody's there being more people that will probably never see again it also means the end of a once vibrant scientific community that's grown up around the shuttle going to check on our team it's knowledge into cyberspace now and see what's waiting for you at our t. dot com year of all earth turbine credit agency users newbie's causes misery operating portugal is jogging propelling it towards our second ballot. and click on our youtube channel for more of these stunning pictures of a giant step a sandstorm only through arizona like hitting a wide area hundred into dusty dark you can see it all for yourself but i can use you to try out. for. more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world

a surgeon there invented a revolutionary method of bone restructuring sixty years later his breakthrough still being used to help people overcome disabilities archy's oksana boyko reports . the soviet union and russia gave the world many great inventions and what special about them is they because not only do you behind the snow house is often very simple very basic yet they remain in service for many many decades take the rocket for example it was designed back in this fixed is the design hasn't changed that much to this day it remains the most reliable and actually at this point of time the only means of transporting humans to the international space station today we want to introduce you to now the great invention of which proved just as durable and this is the frame or the parameters it was first designed back in the fifty's but it still remains the main orthopedic technique for treating bone fractures all sorts of deformities and injuries as well as for

a limp lengthening our next story is about that. for both of them it's about walking tall eight year old into his leg in left leg and twenty seven year old japanese engineer could jeter with lagging self-confidence and if indeed lamb didn't choose his predicament very much did turn centimeters shorter than the average charge for manager because of some employers refused to hire me one of them told me directly i was trying to do with the clients computers already spent three months in this hospital and plans to stay for another four to add the coveted seven santa majors to his stature it may seem like a tall order but the actual surgery is fairly simple bill painful invented by the famed sylvia of the p.d. is good really bizarre of a night in the fifty's these frames for initially used to treat fractures in deformities by cutting bones and slowly pulling them up or therefore stimulating

tissue regeneration. was able to rashied arms and legs and people who thought they were crippled for life piecing together patients shattered bones and in many cases . their shattered lives. were in professing the result of design flaws first brain using bicycle parts sixty years later says invention is increasingly being used to help people quite eager to fracture their legs to become a few centimeters tall or the ultimate goal is still the same thing somebody is alive both literally and figuratively it all just third of patients it needed to be it was our century and now days seeking surgery for cosmetic reasons most of them are man and most are not what you would call vertically challenged professor not because who operated on any of them sas it usually comes down to man's pride some of the first patients he turned to was with a leg glutamine quest was to meet his fifteen centimeters to be still want of surgery because his partner was taller than him we like to say that we need to

break their legs in order to fix their head maybe nothing wrong with them for all for p.t. a point of view but there is something psychological that prevents them from living their lives fully being happy and we fix it like lengthening surgeries are banned in many countries and even the women allowing their prey here beautiful expensive but in russia the entire course costs about one tenth of the similar caricature of the united states. financial considerations were one of the reasons that broad base washington state need to weston say dariya get his name mentioned for the surgery had to do with how he carried in the others in america average height is one seventy five i was one sixty seven or one sixty eight and so one eight centimeters would have brought me right to average users what is the average for women height isn't so important you know i think girl can be short and it's not a big deal i think a guy is like expected to be taller just before the operation most this matter
