department has launched their largest avenue manhunt after a former officer turned against them the search for christopher donna suspected of killing three people has spread to three u.s. states and northern mexico thousands of police offices i involved in the operation as donna is believed to be a well trained and heavily armed on face book he posted a manifesto declaring war on the l.a.p.d. with some forty people on his hit list also accusing the department of quote internal corruption racism and concealment of excessive force and quote michael rubin investigative journalist and a former l.a.p.d. officer himself says there are many skeletons in the l.a.p.d. is closet. i don't condone what's happened and i want to violence and killing to end but more important i want him to be brought in alive which is something i do not think l.a.p.d. law enforcement or the u.s. government wants under any circumstances with regard to his specific allegations about his case and i'm currently reviewing legal documents that are becoming
12:16 am
available on mark i have to tell you that with regard to his allegations about rigorous trial board hearings. very egregious unprofessional cover up excessive force but also management drove him out melfi perjury and a lot of other serious things i believe in one hundred percent the l.a.p.d. has been shown has a consistent cultural problem with racism cover up and crony. bartman that has gripped him arms i think and probably driven out a great many good officers i learnt for similar reasons it appears a medal if she wants to ask for according to the u.k. which is refusing its better ins a russian ana's moscow wants to reward british troops for bravery in world war two specifically sailors who got a critical convoys to supply the u.s.s.r. but as our teams are in a collision reports that's not something london is willing to allow. imagine doing
12:17 am
a service to a foreign country during a time of war risking your life going through unimaginable hardships all in the name of helping an ally imagine that country wanting to reward you with a medal of honor and then imagine your own government refused to allow you to accept that medal for rather ambiguous reasons that's precisely what's happening to several hundred veterans in the u.k. the russian government wanted to award them the medal for their service in the arctic convoy during world war two but the foreign and commonwealth office has refused the request saying that they appreciate the move from moscow but they simply cannot be granted because current rules dictates foreign medals can only be accepted within five years of the events occurring but the british government is promising to soon create a medal to honor u.k. troops who participated in the arctic convoys now the convoys delivered thousands of anti tank guns and fighter planes to the u.s.s.r.

between nine hundred forty one in one thousand nine hundred five the road to went from north america osland and the u.k. it's made you look simple enough on the map but it was anything but that the congo is were constantly attacked by german u. boats ships and planes and one in humans of one of the problems the convoys often filled victim to the horrendous storms in the icy cold waters of the arctic that was some seventy years ago and many of the veterans feel they may not have to live to see the day the u.k. very wards them with its old version of the medal and for some there is a feeling of bitterness feeling they're being refused a medal of what they truly deserve or tyke a wife or not just from a bold mothership might post them. to may. also we were what we could. do so. we went to do the job. another think that. was always on russian convoys. another. down there good job you know mother
12:19 am
ship might now there was a governmental has been created to reward those fighting at sea for bravery it's one of the highest military decoration in russia its importance as such but it has been retained from the soviet union era because of the magnitude of feeds it was awarded for so there are a few zal to let a foreign government honor their service in the greatest war of water history makes veterans wonder what's behind the reason if it had been america to offer this medal which are not served on the american idol when i was in shanghai and china say but. i mean sorry they were to offer me a medal what would be to their written the government's response to the. for their parts many british veterans such as john seem open and receptive to the idea of a medal coming from russia while the owners yes just to have possession. of
12:20 am
a few years ago they have the if a few years. and it down to meet children we grant you i mean surprise possession to me just not only bad to us but this coming from russia to believe this will be extra special but unfortunately in their decision making process it appears the u.k. government did not consider the feelings of its country's veterans. as members of a radical feminist group get so i mean a kid in berlin do you think women should get topless to fight accords. would you do it room if you were in margaret but do you think french girls would do it more often than american girls i think so. in the resident of this week and laura how often is ask whether women should get make it to attract a wanted attention. turkey has lost dozens of

air force officers who quit following the resignation of a top naval command the exodus could signify decaying morale in the country's military resignations come in protest against the attention of hundreds of the police accused of conspiring against the government although journalist andrew finkel says the military is worried by the government's religious bent. it's very clear that the military traditionally a powerful force with integrity politics was trying to undermine its own government and of course the government fought back and they fought back success really with these conspiracy trials so. perhaps this is simply the military saying ok you've lied you know you have it your own way but. at the at the moment the prime minister i don't is a little bit concerned he's actually said that there are too many military officers in detention awaiting trial and i mean the reason the country has a military is to defend itself so if you put all their offices in jail then then of
12:22 am
course the reward must feel a little bit vulnerable so i think the government realizes that perhaps that thing has gone too far that it's time to actually get the military back on their side but of course the resignation we've seen wave of resignations will not come is that new sort of i think that's what the military themselves might feel and some people sympathetic to the military might feel that they have a government which is to leans too far to the religious right and indeed that's one of the reasons why the military tried to everett there are two undermine their government in the first place. and now for some international news in brief a state of emergency has been declared in five you would state as a snow storm a neighbor slams into the northeast of the country in the blizzard has already caused blackouts leaving hundreds of thousands of homes without electricity three thousand flights have been canceled authorities are warning people to stay at home

in the face of what could be record snow falls. in georgia hundreds of protesters have falls the president may fire last that has really changed the venue of his yearly national address scuffles broke out with police outside the national library as demonstrators accused him of human rights abuses and russian descent the crash related major the speech of from of the presidential palace and for greater cooperation between himself and the georgian dream party that won parliamentary elections last october. it could be the end of an era for legendary cosmodrome or that saw the first man blasting off into space political differences between russia and kazakstan have let the rumors. might stop renting by canoe to moscow artist on barton has a story. they call him the first the shooter and
12:24 am
a troll his work to baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan for fifty years he's the man who say's blastoff. but now he's worried about political meddling in the spaceports future. we are living a normal life here so i believe they shouldn't try to fix something that's not broken since the end of the soviet union russia has rented baikonur from kazakstan but recently the head of the kazakh space agency annoyed by a lack of progress on a joint rocket project called for a halt to some of the launches allowed them. to keep the number of heavy proton rockets allowed to launch in two thousand and thirteen has dropped from seventeen to twelve it's prompted behind the scenes wrangling with moscow demanding reimbursement expensive launch contracts are lost when those demands were leaked though both sides rushed to state there was no problem. there is no scandal no sensation there's no divorce between cuz it stan and russia on the subject of the
12:25 am
baikonur cosmodrome however as russia's foreign minister pointed out there is a question mark over baikonur what else that we need to address the issues as long as they arise that also refers to the questions arising about the number of launches this was the place from where yuri gagarin became the first man in space and for now both russia and kazakhstan both have an interest in continued launches from baikonur but with russia building a new cosmodrome the far east that situation won't last forever as a spaceport or as a dusty little museum town baikonur will eventually likely come back under us to now us orbit. rising out of the center of the vast kazakh step baikonur has always been a strange place but whether our gate to the stars remains here or not it will always be from here that humankind first reached the cosmos because that government may
12:26 am
have some space plans of their own but perhaps they should consult on a totally first ok understand the. don wants to become a great space power but this is something that requires preparation whether it happens or not he's satisfied that baikonur has already established its place at the center of months quest for space bottom auntie. the radical feminist group of for men at it again and this time they've gone topless at the berlin film festival to protest against female circumcision demonstrators jumped over barris before being caught by security guards attracting a lot of attention along the way so if you've got it should you flaunted or cause the residents your health and has hit the streets of new york to find everyone in.
12:27 am
a new york city it's legal for ladies to protest topless so where are the believes this week let's talk about that part of the body even though it's legal it's still private. but do you think that would draw a lot of attention to the cause yeah but then again you know the growth sometimes to what it attracts you dare. i would want to say. would you ever consider protesting topless. a reason yeah what would be the reason. you would go topless for that yeah what about something like if you're protesting obama's drone program then no that's not appropriate now keep them inside yeah so when would be it appropriate to whip them out for us cancer research breast cancer or something related to breasts yes i don't think it's safe why not
12:28 am
a lot of weirdos out there would you do it well maybe one month but do you think french girls would do it more often than american girls i think so why is that what's wrong with that kind of crazy do you think that americans are more uptight when it comes to topless and sexuality yes yes i do think that there are more uptight it would be a way to get he was attention but i personally wouldn't do it maybe someone knows and i mean do you think that it would be a good thing to bring that attention to a cause that way and not really is private is going to bring one kind of attention to somebody i don't think you really get your message out if you're out topless do you think that it would be little a cause or help because. i don't know if there were much it's will bring more awareness so yes people will look so it's not what protesting is all about. let them out ladies the bottom line is going topless is a sure fire way to bring attention to your.
