much of it is also driven from abroad with countries like pakistan your saudi arabia kuwait a very generous when it comes to building mosques here. islam is on the rise across all of central asia but only in kurdistan have there the regions adopted an open door policy. these are followers of the to believe. a group of islamic missionaries originated from pakistan its members have come up in many terrorism investigations and as a result the group was labeled extremist by many european governments in kyrgyzstan that community is growing fast. teach people heart of fun happening hard to build your life in accordance with his wishes and by teaching of us within ourselves. while genders are becoming increasingly separated in public women and not left out

centuries ago they were respectful of our customs that's why islam in kyrgyzstan has been very much in degraded with our indigenous culture and the version of islam that's being pushed on nowadays with his jobs and restrictions is not only foreign to us it's aggressive the countries authorities are not oblivious to the ongoing islamization and some suggest are even trying to harness it here could be stones top officials are praying alongside the crowds they claim full religious freedom is the best strategy against radicalization. the results of the arab spring have shown that secular governments are cracking under the pressure of political islam muslims are enormous human resource the one who knows how to manage this force in the streets but for kyrgyzstan which has seen two revolutions in five years there's hardly anything more pressing than finding an antidote against all hell breaking

lose again come by car see. how does it for this hour i'll be back with an update on our top stories after a short break. old means of protection can be used. when global supremacy deserts take.

between two thousand and five and two thousand and nine u.s. has spent fifteen billion dollars in the prostate for the entire program that we are dealing with right now here in two thousand and eleven is another hundred fifty billion dollars that's larger than many country's entire military budgets when all things becomes the best form of defense. to. use. all the.

pieces. of. from los angeles to chicago to birmingham twenty trauma centers have closed since two thousand severe problem is not enough inpatient beds not on the third emergency department heads and not enough nurses to man those that is to take care of all the people who are the only real health care system that we have in the city of los angeles is the los angeles fire department in fact when i started my venture as a firefighter i didn't want to turn it around so i started out going to just do fire fighting it's about eighty two percent of what we do the florida problem is medical i've had a rescue couple weeks ago waited four hours for i've waited sometimes three hours but i wouldn't say it's a francis in lynnwood for four hours and fifty minutes standing against

a wall with patients and we have a federal law that mandates that you can't turn no one away who seeks care in an emergency room. we have the most expensive health care system in the world and it's probably valued the least. least. the official altie allocation. called talk from the.

video. and. now with the palm of your. question on the. broadcasting live from our studios and some from moscow this is r.t. glad to have you with us russia and china vetoed the u.n. security council's resolution on syria at a vote in new york and moscow wanted all references to regime change taken out of the draft. so the two hundred thousand people have braved the bitter cold across russia to ensure that their views on national politics are heard one group demanding fair elections marched through the streets and others rallied in support of the current leadership. and fighting between police and protesters it continues

in egypt with twelve people killed and hundreds more injured in the latest crackdown. next hour a special report on the reset in u.s. russia relations and how it's being affected by america's controversial missile defense system in europe. the most vital national security interests of the united states would be most effectively realized not true hostility to russia matou cooperation with it. i see russia and the united states can we just settlement of the establishment of a global missile defense system why would. this plan research is in jeopardy even the new strategic arms reduction treaty between moscow and washington has been unable to help. at a time of warmer bilateral relations nato's top brass decided to deploy a missile defense system aimed at protecting europe but they were setting up too

close to russia's borders and moscow didn't view it as a friendly gesture. we want to defend the whole europe not just some european countries we want to european allies and friends to join on missile defense strategy. to jeannie with the event of the situation with a european missile defense system becoming unfavorable to russia we reserve the right to take no further steps in the nuclear disarmament area. the kremlin has repeatedly demanded that nato guarantees that the european missile defense shield would pose no threat to russia's strategic interests sofa the west has refused to cooperate with moscow on the issue.

intercontinental ballistic missiles are transported through snowbound russian forests under the cover of darkness. the movements are shrouded in secrecy the people in charge need to perform training drills and test the hardware on the move . suddenly the convoy comes to a halt there's a forest stream blocking the hoss. crossing it's quite a challenge for the drivers of motor vehicles weighing many tons. as specially considering that they're carrying nuclear warheads. engine is make sure that the heavy launches safely reach the opposite bank with the most hazardous hurdle behind it the convoy is on the move again.

as the convoy forges ahead to its destination they leave the forest and pass through villages the sound of powerful engines thundering past is becoming a common occurrence lately for local people. low carb or we need such missiles to defend russia we were good we would be crushed if we didn't have them. that's all there is to it. working when you hear them rumbling past you get a sense of great might there is no dealt we will be able to defend our country. without an agreement with the united states on missile defense and in the face of potential military threats russia was compelled to think of countermeasures. the

country has declared in the past that it may withdraw from the strategic arms reduction treaty and said it will introduce measures to counter the missile defense . we will go ahead with the deployment of our missile defense system it is beyond me is that this presupposes deployment of its components in poland in romania in a radar station in turkey obviously this will also until the is there mission of the base in spain for american ships equipped with the system. it is obvious that the missile defense systems will be targeted at the russian federation rather than some mythical middle eastern countries possessing a virtual missiles. at least fifteen countries around the world have been involved with the nato missile defense shield. their radar stations in denmark and britain which is also host to

interceptor missiles. canada two is going to join the project anti missile functions will be given to norad the agency responsible for north america's air and outer space defense. japan has decided to assist the nato missile defense shield its taking part in the manufacture of a just interceptor missiles. japan is going to build a forward based radar station on its territory. a similar radar station has already been built in turkey. the czech republic rumania hungry and poland are ready to allow nato as missile defense complexes to be placed on their territory. but if that were america forward based american military presence which means the deployment of bases in post is so. republics notably in central asia is an element of u.s. global domination as

a powerful ramified infrastructure any military base has the capacity to deploy units of agents supplying electronic intelligence. russia has taken adequate measures to counter such actions but i'm like nato it confines its activities to its own territory a radar station is being put on combat duty in the kaliningrad region russia's westernmost. systems are being deployed in the country's west and. they can hit any target within a radius of up to five hundred kilometers. what is most important is that the russian ballistic missiles are being gradually equipped with new warheads capable of overcoming nato's missile defense system. this lift carries people down to a secret radar station in european russia it's tucked away deep underground in

a few minutes time major will be on duty to protect russia's space. to get everything about the station is classified the equipment behind these doors is the responsibility of special officers the station itself can operate autonomously it has its own power source and water supply and a ventilation system in. washington knows only too well that russia can easily control the entire space of eastern europe. is one of the instruments the military installation protects the moscow region from attack by ballistic missiles it's thought to be controlled by russia's president who is also commander in chief of the armed forces. some time ago russia suggested to the united states that they jointly control the

outer space over the middle east he was in a similar radio transmitters stationed in azerbaijan if nato is top brass agreed to cooperate they would receive reports of any unauthorized iranian missile launches that washington would see as a threat to america. or in his developed milicic missiles capable of hitting targets in a little east in eastern europe this poses a threat to u.s. interests in the region. i don't agree with the u.s. government belief that this is a serious problem with iran is doing is they're using very simple relevent nothing simple about rockets but the using very early generation rocket technology the only rockets they could build that could reach the united states would be enormous in size and not be mobile as say they would have to be launched

from fixed locations where the united states and russia if russia join the united states could monitor these these missiles many in the united states just like the views of theodore postol he maintains that the european missile defense system is ineffective the scientist estimates that it has no chance of protecting the united states from a rainy and missiles instead it creates problems for russia if russia believes is the fence is not needed but it doesn't pose a theoretical threat to russia. my guess is that the russian government will say ok if you want to spend your national treasure this will help you so it solves the political problem and it provides a much more capable defense that with the united states currently building in goods to them they would also be much cheaper. the professor believes that the purpose of nato is radar with europe is to track the movements of russian strategic weapons

and to monitor russia's new military technologies. the real target could be russia but certainly it makes the people of europe less safe it draws them in in fact as a geo strategic pawn by great powers as they maneuver and use the missile defense shield not as a way to defend your not as a way to defend anybody in fact but to provide a first strike potential capability against the adversary. this is how we are going to train ourselves in order to be ready for any situation . these people crossing a field of. have serious worries about the global situation.

they feel that as long as nuclear weapons exist they need to know how to protect themselves. if they're to survive in the face of a real threat they need to have everything necessary close at hand. the coach tells them that a compass and a mobile phone unlikely to help. the problem is that we can only get our bearings by looking at tree branches there are more branches on the side where they are exposed to see. some light outside points to the south. the people involved in a survival experiment will have to cover several kilometers in full gear their training mission is to reach an abandoned military base where they can hide from the harmful effects of radiation.
