a giant bell that was used to incite riots was supposed to set a three hundred ten. a revolt against the eight hundred twenty five known as the decembrists. they created a replica high society adopting the latest fashions as soon as they came out or at least once they made it from paris to siberia but the city also served up some bitter irony for the russian royal family after the bolshevik revolution. this is the office where the second spend most of the last year of his life his whole family had been exiled here they were the pearly comfortable existence this was a big house but they weren't allowed to see visitors or go outside themselves leading the ordinary normal countryside life style they even had thought it was great but within the year bizarre and his family would be dead.

regime one day no matter how long it takes there will be a day of reckoning for this dreadful regime up in arms about syria and they've put their money where their mouth is giving five million pounds in so-called normally aid to those trying to oust president assad but less than a thousand miles away in bahrain there's another human rights crisis ongoing and on that leaders remain conspicuously stuff. the g.m. has not spared any means of repression torture has not seized at all. in the clues as to what means of people who are just releasing the last day or two more of them is the kidnapping. people from three or four beat them up torture them not inside the torture chambers but in farms in what they call the whose houses bahrain is home to
2:18 pm
a forgotten revolution ignored by the international community under reported in the media since february last year there have been almost daily anti-government protests in the resulting crackdown around a hundred have been killed with sixteen hundred in jail including sixty children and full of bahrain's most prominent human rights activists all that in a country of only one and a half million but the u.k. government says nothing long standing historical connection between britain. which was in fact holland and the one certainly the association with the u.s. fifth fleet is the oil problem is the banking problem far from being condemned representatives of the bahraini regime have been a common sight at the u.k.'s major events this summer king how much was invited to the queen's diamond jubilee celebrations in may his elder son visited david cameron
2:19 pm
at downing street and his youngest son who allegedly sanctioned the torture of dissident bahraini athletes was at the opening of london's olympic games but it goes further and deeper than that despite the brutal crackdown between july and september last year the u.k. sold two point two million pounds worth of arms to the bahraini regime shortly after that the u.k.'s most famous military training school accepted at the. a million pound donation from the king of bahrain and to the metropolitan police is former assistant commissioner was appointed as an advisor on security to the regime with no objections from the u.k. government bahrain campaigners say it's ruining the government's credibility it's only when they stand up in public and say we host this torture. we oppose these autocratic regimes and we want to marcus only then will the british
2:20 pm
government have any credibility whatsoever and at this moment it has not the bahraini opposition and their supporters aren't calling for intervention but they do want the international community to condemn the regime that they say is at least as oppressive as the syrian regime that western powers are so desperate to get rid of laura smith r.t. london. it's not always easy to say sorry and when you britain's embattled deputy prime minister you should expect a rough ride nick clegg's released a video then apologizing for breaking promises to voters mainly over feeds his party wanted a coalition with the conservatives giving the lib dems their first taste of power in generations but it soured online satirise have been quick to pounce on clegg's apology re mix or get into this unlikely web. it's hard to. stay. in this version of the story
2:21 pm
video is spreading across britain right now it's simply releases a single indeed a photo blogger georgie from you state for magazine he told me the lib dems main floor is failing to sing from the same sheet. it's interesting there are two different lines on this in clegg and his apology suggest that the party should have made the pledge in the first place because there's no money around it would have been too expensive term plans now what started it down but this is saying is well we would have kept the pledge but it was hung parliament that may be good. but it can actually dance haven't got one single message on this i think until they until they do then we hard for the rangers to take them seriously russia says it expects a probe into the murder of a former security service officer alexander litvinenko to be comprehensive hearings have resumed in british courts almost six years to the day after he was allegedly murdered by radiation poisoning in london sarah furthest the story. this being
2:22 pm
nearly sixty years since alexander death and today at a pre inquest of the hells here in london we heard from the assistant deputy coroner. who apologized and said that there would be no. delay now the free inquest for the held today was to set the parameters for head of the full inquest which is really next year just to give you some background to remind you about the details of the case alexander litvinenko died in november two thousand and six after being poisoned with polonium two hundred ten now the original investigation found that he had tea with two russians in a central london hotel one of him was identified as andre a little boy now at the time of that original investigation we saw a serious souring of relations between moscow and london after the crown prosecution service asked. boyd to be extradited for questioning now he's since

become a russian m.p. and most cases have refused all requests to extradite him speaking outside court today alexandra. de said that she hopes that this time around that justice will be done she spoke of the fact that she's very glad that this is taking place in the way and that she very much kate said that this time around there will be some ounces of course as we said six years on and still no concrete answers into that so everyone's very much going to be hastening for a better outcome this time but of course there are concerns again that this could reignite the tensions between moscow and london david cameron met with president putin during the olympic games and said that this incident still very much remains a source of tension and stands between britain and russia sara firth r.t. london. next hour for at least the morning from moscow just

a couple of minutes away. well. it's technology innovations all the developments around russia we've got the future covered. in japan the average height for men is one hundred eighty two centimeters ten centimeters shorter because of that some employers refused to hire me one of them even told me directly that i was too short to deal with the clients could you just already spend three months in this hospital and plans to stay for another four to add the coveted seven santa majors to his stature invented by the famed soviet orthopedic is good for you is there and the nineteen fifties these frames were initially used to treat fractures in deformities by cutting bones and slowly pulling them up or therefore stimulating tissue regeneration it was off was able to
2:25 pm
reshape arms and legs and people who thought they were crippled for life piecing together patients shattered bones and in many cases their shattered lives will go when professor of design his 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 taller than the ultimate goal is still the same six thing somebody is live both literally and figuratively about a third of patients admitted to the was out of center now days seeking series three focus medical reasons most of them a man and most are not what you would call vertically challenged professor novikov who operated on many of them says it usually comes down to a man's pride some of the first patient to turn to us with a leg like them in a quest to meet his fifteen centimeters to be still want to surgery because panos
2:26 pm
to than him we like to say that we need to break their legs in order to fix. it may be nothing wrong with them from an orthopedic point of view but there is something psychological that prevents them from living their laws fully being happy and we fix it like lengthening surgeries are banned in many countries and even the out they're pretty expensive in russia the entire course costs eleven thousand dollars about one tenth of the similar package in the united states financial considerations were one of the reasons that brought this washington state native to western siberia his main motive for the surgery had to do with how he fared in the others in america advertise his one seventy five i was one sixty seven or one sixty eight and so on eight centimeters would have brought me right to average users wanted to be 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
2:27 pm
a russian girl who found he's a regional hide quite endearing yet he still want to have read this surgery adding seven more centimeters to the self-confidence she told me the whole time you're crazy you're normal you're perfect. for an hour so. what a compliment for somebody who's used to falling short of his own expectations. or the business president putin has changed destroyed according to legend reverse to jim rogers of the forty six years in business he says he's no longer skeptic having the current government has its investment climate right. russians have been saying good things for a hundred years but then they were always take everybody's money away and now they seem to be from what i can gather the actions are such that they are actually putting up their own money to invest side by side with outsiders that is
2:28 pm
a remarkable change from anything that's ever happened in russia before from what everything i can see the russian government now i just stands how the international economy works and they realize they have to play by the same rules as everybody else now moves rogers also backed is russian protestation and from him a verdict today called for forced the sell off as it comes as high tech holding bruce no no this year. we do it is absolutely necessary to investigate additional sources of budget revenue if there are no subsidies there's no discussion if they exist then let's divide them up i mean revenues from privatization is very good they're increasing and lots of several transactions are always being reproachful being slow with privatization so we'll do it faster and this is the right way to do it and these alternative sources of revenue could cover the cost of a number of budget provisions. as checkmark is because new york is continuing its full run today the u.s. jobless claims fell less than hoped for the euro's once again shedding as well
