3:02 pm
would be the solution agreed eventually they said the euro bonds are not a miracle they're not a cure and france and germany won't guarantee other countries dead so they refuse to bail out the rising problems in countries like italy and spain they also denounce the rumors and speculation and said they'd fight against this the rumors that they say are trying to bring down the euro so there will be a single government they'll elect a president be very official a tax on financial transactions was also announced. that the purpose was to harmonize economies and taxes across europe so a very wide ranging proposals on offer here today. and it will show there in brussels where the european central bank has announced it spent an unprecedented twenty two billion euros in just one week the money went to prop up the shaking economies of italy and spain but as artie's arena reports public faith in the

3:09 pm
a serving officer is the flying elite hand-picked from the entire russian air force the best technology develops top gun style maneuvers being abandoned in favor long range missiles and advanced trade. these demonstrations of piloting prowess just becoming a side show right. richard so i don't think so at all. electronics could often be jammed so we go back to who sees whom and how they can respond to the situation skills will never become obsolete and up they go again practicing for hours perfecting distills only harmful in the world capable of. old fashioned dogfights might not be as big a part of combat as they once were but here they're keeping alive. the. field. will stay tuned to r.t.

3:11 pm
struggle to make ends meet kala is constantly in debt despite selling pretty much everything she has including her own kidney. i went to a group he told me that i could sell my kidney i agreed because i was in a bad situation and my children were small we did not even have any food to eat when the two thousand and four tsunami hit the coast of south asia kala was one of hundreds of thousands of people who lost everything in order to get back on her feet she got a loan that she was later unable to repay. and we had a lot of debt i had to borrow money to buy the fishing boat the people i borrowed money from started asking me for money they said they will come home and embarrass us if we didn't pay the money desperate and vulnerable tsunami survivors soon became the perfect targets for the illegal organ trade in india it's become known as the red market every year one hundred thousand indians need organ replacements
3:12 pm
a demand that drives an illegal supply with some organs even being sold to a small percentage of desperate transplant tourists in one thousand nine hundred four the indian government hatched a law meant to regulate organ donation in this country each recipient was supposed to get an organ from a donor who was in some way known to have even though each transplant was supposed to be approached by a committee of doctors it's almost impossible for anyone to stop money transactions from happening under the table in general when a recipient finds out that he or she needs an organ donor they normally approach friends or family for a match and when those options are exhausted rogue doctors or hospital staff can introduce the recipient to a broker usually a former illegal donor too who can scout nearby poor neighborhoods for someone who is well. to sell their kidney and go under the knife. and afford to buy good news
3:13 pm
for them all say part of it to this. is the law. though doctors also on a blind eye to this happening to transplants from the donor to the recipient take place in the hospital simultaneously the donor ends up making a little over a thousand dollars while the brokers can profit almost double that. i went to the broker he said he will give me fifty thousand rupees for my kidney it was supposed to be much more but the broker cheated us the donors also frequently are robbed of their health by before i used to run round and work a lot but now i can do as much work as they used to i find it difficult even to leave the point of what i can go to work i have severe pain in my abdomen and my chest. and while horror stories of the red market are exchanged among locals those with no options left are forced to take extreme measures sacrificing their health just to stay alive preassure either party chennai india.

3:15 pm
all right what we do know though is officially understand that more than two hundred tons of water been spilled into an area of what something like one hundred square miles could you put this in perspective for us just just how serious could it be. where was the leg so for. a clown. the most significant. savings for us it's approaching records from them or not. well contrast many people referring to the bill for months for disaster last year. but i think what's important here is that the u.k. government has been rather smart in planning that its regulatory regimes were breasts. and resilient against the confluence of what happened. that will happen in the what's supposed. to go or spill calls for those crimes and question. could you perhaps tell us about the environmental impact at this stage is
3:16 pm

3:17 pm
riders to get into the sense to legal systems and so not only are you critical in the way that shell is trying to solve this crisis but also what about the way that they responded. to this they've rejected criticism that they did in fact respond properly promptly and properly over this but does that really appear to be the case and if so if not come expect any tough response from you catherine is on the way that shows handle this so far we do know which. ones. for our own government. don't have adequate information coming from shore certainly unsure. about a lot of. very small information and those. statements coming from. members of the company.

3:19 pm
were hearing rumors of us officials in washington trying to cast aspersions on our study before it was even published. for example trying to link to someone they were claiming was a spy in pakistan and also raising doubts about the validity of our research itself we went back and looked at over two thousand individual media reports from pakistani u.s. u.k. international media looking at the strikes and then once we've actually untangled that process and got the clearest idea of what had taken place we don't cross-reference with a host of material which included legal studies case notes of lawyers who are fighting cases behalf of civilians from pakistan intelligence documents us secret cables through leaks point wiki leaks earlier this year and so on so we're trying to build up really as comprehensive a public view as we could of what's actually been taking place with these attacks. let's update you on some other world headlines now this hour in france
