the most of their potential when they feel secure. and stimulated. i think i see a future here. from puppets to modeling plasticine it's about having fun while educating children at the same time. whether it's a trip to the circus or a matinee at the puppet theatre pushing capital is packed with ideas guaranteed to keep little ones and to take on the happy maybe moscow is much more child friendly than people think proving that having a young child in a foreign country can be a rewarding experience fusing different cultures together in mind this will plus thirty. well done. is more interesting coming in. to the time we have left on this week's program about babies and toddlers here in the russian capital i'll see you again at the same time next week until then for

may i'll rest the career for the. book. the people of the united states and their friends and allies will not live at the mercy of an outlaw regime that threatens the peace with weapons of mass murder his regime as an active program to acquire and develop nuclear weapons and let there be no doubt about we know for a fact there are limits there. this we're just being carried out into the direction of dr david kay respected scientist and former u.n. inspector was leading the weapons search in iraq we are determined to take this

apart you have a tremendous a group of dedicated american men and women involved in this with the best assets of the intelligence community and provide. data cheney is not going to be done with this for quite some time david kay wants more time and he says it could take another six to nine months to make a definitive finding ministration is asking congress for hundreds of millions more six hundred million dollars to fund a continuing search have not yet found shiny pointy things that i would call a weapon before we can draw from conclusions we need to let the iraqi survey group complete its work. we were all wrong probably in my judgment. and that is most disturbing. sometimes the true patriot takes the unpopular course but helps the country of wooden stakes and even if they come this way at least they tried patriotism is the last refuge of

scoundrels and i think these are scoundrels they have no argument now they have no defense for what they did the country is in a terrible international security situation that i think is perilous so they're attacking the patriotism of others. there hasn't been anything yet on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact. the full source material is what helps keep journalism honest we believe. we want to present.

something else. to tell stories revolution a hangover the latest clashes in egypt between protesters and great military rule and security forces leave. and hundreds injured in the run up to a presidential election. campaign dominated by the rise of the far right nears its end in france as the country decides on who its next leader will be and whether to dump or stick with sarkozy. and russia's republic of dagestan mourns the victims of deadly twin bombings which killed thirteen people and injured over one hundred in an attack suspected to have international terrorism. kevin know it more news in full with me in fifteen minutes here on r.t. from moscow next though top sport is kate.

back of the lead. in a weekend where i have a chance to compete for a title so. i've missed my share of cuts in the past not on feel good. and at the spanish open frenchman gregory bore the also leads by one shot while there is a three way tie for second that back include simon dyson seen here along with fellow englishman rob rock and it is. funny to boxing and a bust up has broken out between challenger floyd mayweather jr and defending super welterweight champion miguel cotto as they wade in for their w.p.a. title fight in las vegas this saturday or may well that tips the scales at almost one and a half kilos lighter than his puerto rican point opponent and thirty five he's also four years older but the hot headed american boasts a perfect record of forty two wins and losses the seem too concerned about racing or not so apparently starting the quarrel as the two one heated words to give
