a little. more violence in mali as a militant group launches guerrilla attacks on the previously liberated city of god made claims by the french military that the operation is almost complete. a lead congressional report leaves a u.s. missile shield in europe defenseless with aide claims the system may fail to protect america and its nato allies and could be aimed against russia. and experts in the u.k. blame the failing economy and government cutbacks in mental health services for an

alarming increase in suicide rates. you're watching our live from moscow with me to say it's good to have your company with us. and islamist rebel group is claiming responsibility for ongoing violence in mali is most written city of god that's after gunmen launches supplies guerrilla attack over the weekend the city was rocked by two suicide bombings however france maintains the military campaign in mali to enforce all of islam is almost complete local correspondent gonzalo want to report. the situation in mali is obviously going to have a gruesome ending there are more than enough indications of that last friday the country was shaken by the very first terrorist attack in its history according to

the witness report of what was carried out by a fifteen year old suicide bomber of arab descent the bomber was the only one killed after the detonation a few hours later responsibility for the attack was claimed by the motion watch jihadists one thing to remember here is that this is a bass desert territory and therefore it is very difficult to control this attack is just another example confirming that despite the news reports of the french army having taken over gal timbuktu into doubt there is still a long way to go before jihadists are ousted from the country in severe artie's crew was given access to the civil defense camps and were volunteers and civilians are preparing to fight against the jihadists the f.l. and a and uganda core a local pro-government militia movements that account for a total of two thousand eight hundred operatives but do not support the strategy chosen by the french in mali and joining forces in fighting the terrorists

completely love we share the same goals but what they did was a really bad service to us all there was not really about the army itself al-qaeda had been operating on mali and territory for a number of years now they have all those and they keep getting more by kidnapping white people for ransom insurance pays them to have their citizens returned and then the terrorists have cash to buy weapons if we talk about al qaeda there's no way the army can fight it because that she it's terrorism in action going to find out is that those paramilitary who know the terrain well say fighting a war they cannot take part in is meaningless one thing all these paramilitary groups have in common is their patriotism and zeal to protect their country and drive away the narco terrorists but this is a losing fight given the financial resources and ammunition stock they have just put out. i'm ready to go it's all lengths i'm ready to give my life right now to save my family up there in the north because we're all here have families i believe france will still decent tax for

a while when the french troops leave they will start all over again because the criminals are still out there hiding him on the civilians not all of them have been caught really need to be given the mandate to complete this mission our own we're ready for it on the we can do it because we grew up in the north we know the terrain and the people so we're the only ones who can stop them and find them in the villages and the desert where we know every corner and every punch of land. overall while the jihadist forces are taking over their land kidnapping people and using suicide bombers to fight for their cause the civilian population remains the country's most vulnerable group. earlier are it is gannett is again to russia's ambassador to the un vitaly suit in the about the possible reasons for the ongoing conflict the interviews on the air six forty five pm g.m.t. all you can watch it on our website at r.t.e. dot com but here's a quick sneak preview for you like the. repercussion of arab spring was the

dramatic events in libya. in the course of the crisis of course lots of weapons were brought into libya and there was a lot of there were lots of weapons as it is but still many more weapons were brought into libya during the recent hearings which then secretary of state clinton had in the house of representatives one of the congressman said that they had information. with a wink and nod as he put it from the united states brought in twenty thousand tons of weapons into libya and you know twenty thousand tons you can arm a small terrorist army and of course this is exactly what has happened in mali definitely we see a spillover from ability and crisis to neighboring countries. most likely the spillover has affected other places as well for instance it may well be there are many indications to that effect that the terrorist attack. in the in the jury it

had something to do i mean clause to believe in water also had some sort of libyan connection in terms of people maybe weapons terrorists emanating from libya participating in that attack on. him. the u.s. missile defense shield in europe is under for the scrutiny congressional report revealed that the system may be unfit for its declared purpose the study claims that the shield may not be able to protect america and its nato allies from a potential iranian missile strike the report also acknowledges moscow's concerns that the u.s. a system undermines a russia's nuclear deterrent roué the missile shield has a strained relations between the two countries as washington refuses to give most legally binding guarantees this is them is not aimed against russia president obama had promised to be quote flexible and quote on the subject until his reelection but

some observers doubt the u.s. will give up on its geo political ambitions. i don't think it was ever intended to protect against iranian missiles something in fact that do not even exist iran has no nuclear weapons nor do they have capability to launch a missile all the way to the united states clearly this missile defense system has always been about surrounding russia and china and that's why it doesn't the math doesn't work when you look at having it protect against an iranian system fact as nato is expanding in its encircled russia i think we're only going to see more of these so called again missile defense deployments into various nato countries looking at how this all of our runs our country today how the corporations control our congress i think it's clear that congress will continue to support these

systems the new secretary of defense that obama's nominated chuck hagel former republican senator from nebraska was one of the co-sponsors in the senate of the missile defense program so he clearly is a strong ally of the system. so was science free up in the u.k. with this was blaming a combination of issues including personal debt and cutbacks to the mental health budget a problem that is prompting calls for greater government action archies entered pharma reports. for the last year and a half thorn has been coming to terms with the tragic death of a son aged just twenty three toby took his own life riding his spinal words on the back of a bank statement after racking up a three thousand pound overdraft and a five thousand pounds student debt it was just the shock it wasn't from one but had a history of depression or mental illness or even had come across as being down or

depressed. in the last few weeks months of his life if anything he came across as someone that you know didn't have a care in the world following his death and became a trustee for the charity piracy which aims to prevent suicide among young people from a home in cornwall she even runs her own blog giving advice but it's a battle her charity and similar ones around the u.k. are struggling to win suicide is on the increase according to latest figures accounting for six thousand deaths between twenty ten and twenty eleven a rise of seven percent so why the increase while an inquest ruled that toby's financial problems were a contributing factor to his suicide attacks but it's nice a bit amazing u.k. economy is partly to blame for the recent deaths nationwide areas of high unemployment such as camden here in london are among those worst affected and it's a problem compounded by cutbacks in mental health services the double whammy effect

of the recession is that the people are becoming more distressed more anxious and therefore more at risk of wanting to take their own lives at the same time whether sterrett in cuts means that we have fewer psychiatric beds that the crisis care isn't there and if that isn't enough the growth of same day loan companies and intimidating debt collectors are adding to the pressures people are feeling according to researchers brighton university we have some very very good regulations that protect people. it's problematic let thinks problematic debt collection however appears that big particularly well it's because these practices do it in response the u.k. government has announced plans to crack down on aggressive bailiff's from next year late night visits will not be allowed and restrictions will be put on what property can be seized they are also spending over a million pounds on research as part of

a suicide strategy plan but that is only one very small step in the right direction for someone like dan there's no. i mean one thing i've learned more about thirty five than i ever wanted to know but i've done a lot of reading and rethought and i think strangely complex hopefully entirely the trend will go down with what we need to be doing more andrew farmer for r.t. london. still to come this hour i guessing a game and a few minutes away explain why many ecologists claim outraged by the authorities decision to go ahead with multibillion dollar deals with the west and the story in details and a more just ahead. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something

called to protest. people are going to the streets they are going on the streets willingly they don't really need any opposition calls for a new protest because the whole country is in a standstill there's nothing moving forward because there is no real administration at pressing the people needs and the people demand the actual anger in the streets so the only solution that i can see and that any sane person can see that the opposition leader mr brotherhood and all the different political factions to be in a quality of government that would be the only solution and the only way out because at that moment this government will take responsibility for any reform that's going to be as one of the happening of the country but the idea of just excluding everybody out of the government post revolution country in a country that's acting or calling for democracy where there is no real parliament in session that can hold the president or the government accountable to the

company three months later ukraine's leaders were shaking hands again this time with boiled dutch shell having signed a real deal to explore and develop the country's potentially he would shale gas reserves reportedly the third largest. the expectation is about eight to ten billion cubic meters of gas production per year and the highest is up to about twenty two twenty five once it's operational we will strive to fully meet our domestic energy needs and to even become an exporter. this is definitely sweet music to keep for years ukraine has been striving to reduce its relies on us imports from russia especially now when gas. was seven billion dollars for violating gas agreements this project is definitely good we would pay between one hundred fifty to one hundred eighty dollars per cubic meter of gas instead of the four hundred fifty dollars we're now paying to gasp but if everything is so

promising why are people out in force against the shale gas initiative. the second sure know if not worse for years ukraine has often been divided on many different issues from perception of history to the official number of state languages and then you shale gas initiatives are no exception if political enemies hardline nationalists and communists have put their differences aside and spoken out against . the opposition even proposed a bill prohibiting the exploration and extraction of shale gas the matter of. information on how the gas supply. between shell chevron and ukrainian companies this class it is still look we are going to be profitable because the companies don't care about harmful it will be to the environment but political battles of size ecologists are the most concerned with a potential threat from the shale gas programme. it could lead to a full blown strophe but whenever they speak out the pro-government media labels

them as agents. usually and different camels that extract more gas from the rocks so the underground system which provides fresh drinking water is completely destroyed because water is a strategic ecological resource and when one spoil it the area becomes practically non-viable. but even in the most optimistic scenario ukraine may see its own shale gas filling its pipes only in a decade from now ecologists insists they're not against shale gas and growing support just that the potential environmental impact from its extraction needs to be researched and assessed before drilling begins they have already sent a letter to the president the question is whether those at the top will be willing to listen let's see russia. reporting from q. in ukraine. more international news and now and the head of the syrian opposition

in exile has renewed calls for peace talks with the assad government in the rebel held north of syria but the offer comes with certain demands including the release of a hundred and sixty thousand prisoners damascus says they would agree to sit down for talks but without any preconditions the opposition wants to negotiate the departure of president assad which the embattled ending to has so far only she should consider it's also unclear if the al-qaeda rebel groups in syria would support a ceasefire and this comes as the top u.s. military officer says these samples are mean insurgents to bring a foster end to the conflict. the authorities have held their first reconciliatory talks with the opposition in the rain and both sides are say they are ready to continue dialogue to stop anti regime protests which have lasted for two years and claimed up to eighty lives program form campaigners are calling on the government to deal with police brutality and discrimination the city wanted
