russia stunned the recovery process as a twenty hiroshima strong meteorite blast leaves twelve hundred people injured and found the windows shattered and a week's havoc in the country's nuclear power. supply soured the delay in chuck hagel thorny u.s. defense secretary confirmation which met an unprecedented republican opposition is seen as a push for shuffling his anti hawkish ways. and tired of being watched anti c.c.t.v. activists in germany teaming up and take their point against public to balan's into their own hands by destroying as many street cameras as possible.

international news live from moscow this is all she was me. under a very warm welcome to the program. first twenty hiroshima's that's the national space agency's estimate of the explosive power of the meteorite which shattered over russia's year olds and left more than twelve hundred people injured and caused tens of millions of dollars worth of damage artie's igor piskun office at the epicenter and brings us the details how events unfolded it wasn't a bird or superman but something much louder brighter faster in many times of war terrifying this big bright lake hume shining across the sky you know blinding brighter than the sun it was

a rum un when the skies were suddenly lit up by a media war flying over breaking into three parts believing a striking drew of smoke before vanishing just minutes later the city and the surrounding areas were literally rocked by a series of massive explosion. i immediately called one of my teammates who lives in my building and. you know i couldn't get through to him by phone in work so i was a little bit scared at that point so powerful it damaged buildings and shattered windows all across the city. but. i was told that a plane crashed right into our building then we were told that a wall has been partly dislodged and metal structures inside were banned by the blast wave it was very scary. but. many were able to film the honestly so naaman on a leader flooding the web with footage as rumors spread of what it might have been

a stricken airplane a satellite that fell out of orbit even the beginning of the and off the world an r.t. documentary crew that was working in the area suddenly found themselves at the center of events that. we saw a huge tail in the sky like from an airplane and then there was a bright fire and an explosion the feeling was like there are. thoughts of military jets may have crashed or that it was some manmade disaster it was a relief to find out it was a natural phenomena anywhere except over twelve hundred people were injured including over two hundred children mostly from pieces of shattered glass that one of the girls ran out to take pictures yes. and she was thrown in by the wave that came after the the flash and then we. my ears got blocked and the whole room you get got filled with dust just like like a fog it's estimated the media as we need to varied from ten to forty tons and its

speed of around twenty miles per second it gave it a huge amount of energy and made it very difficult to detect in advance that there are telescopes and networks operated by nasa in the u.s. and what's cosmos and russia and the european space agency others that are out there trying to detect and track asteroids but honestly there's a lot of there's hundreds of thousands and their biggest focus is on the really large ones ones that are hundreds of meters in diameter or kilometers in diameter that could potentially you know due to the os what happened to the dinosaurs thankfully no one was killed this time and luckily the meteor didn't hit any industrial facilities including several nuclear sites located in the region i must say all of this really looks like a scene from a science for a movie but it's really happened and there's another. minor that no matter how advanced technology gets nowadays when it comes to nature often we can only watch helplessly and hope for the best you've got is going off r t j dad and central

russia. and lawrence maxwell crimes from their school of earth and space exploration says this was a scientifically precious event. meteors and asteroids are common many of them come from the outer part of our solar system perturbations from the planet jupiter and other planets there's a huge. store of of comets asteroids out outside the orbits of jupiter and outside in fact the outer solar system some of them periodically get disturbed by the gravity of the inner planets and get sent in word some of them are big balls of ice and become comets others are big balls of rock and the impact on mars and the earth and the moon and. what's fascinating is actually you could if you can collect some of this material some of it is primordial if we actually detect it and we can we can get it right after it falls we can actually measure material that hasn't been processed since a solar system formed four to have billion years ago so for scientists it's

a fascinating event and i'm happy that people weren't killed but if but if some of that material can be recovered it will be incredibly interesting and important for scientists. and of course it got some amazing photos of the exploding space rock as well as a vivid examples of how powerful it was and had a mind for that as well as updates footage and more comments from experts. so move things on now more than a week of debates brainstorming and policy revision all will now be needed following an unprecedented vote which saw president obama's nominee for u.s. defense secretary failing to get enough support from the republicans or the results not a complete defeat for chuck hagel the delay may give his opponents more time to further

spoil his chances and many in the us believe this is what was supposed to happen to a candidate who is not pro-war enough he's going there to check and has the details . those who blocked the vote on chuck hagel nomination this thursday know very well that he will eventually be confirmed as defense secretary there are enough votes in the senate to confirm him but the stalling of the vote together with the humiliating treatment that the senators gave chuck hagel two weeks ago at his confirmation hearing this whole process is seen as a message all by itself those lawmakers showed that they could crush anyone who would allow themselves to dissent from washington's core foreign policy beliefs chuck hagel remarks at the confirmation hearing disappointed even his supporters during the hearing which to many seemed like an inclusive mr haygood had to backtrack on many of the statements he had made before including that war with iran should not be an option including his criticism of israel's actions and some other foreign policy views that he had expressed as

a senator so throughout that long and exhausting hearing mr haygood kept apologizing for much of the previous statements he had taken from previous positions he had taken and he bent backwards to show how quote unquote mainstream his views are in the senator's case kept accusing him of not being again quote unquote mainstream enough to get the job chuck hagel swore to defend basically all of washington's foreign policy orthodoxies his confirmation process has been humiliating in many ways than it demonstrated the state of u.s. foreign policy of policy basically intolerant of an ill turn to do vision alternative claud having said all that the president's decision to nominate chuck hagel of course knowing the position chuck hagel had taken before was also seen as a message president obama had said previously that there is too much war talk going on and maybe by nominating chuck hagel he wanted to play down because too many people here in washington are too eager to talk war just during the confirmation hearing the word war was mentioned one hundred twenty times the word iran one

hundred eight times by comparison of ghana's than the war that the u.s. is fighting right now just twenty six mentions of course those are just words but they may very well show how eager many many in washington are to discuss new wars without even having finished the old ones. paul craig roberts assistant secretary of the u.s. treasury under president reagan things saves chuck hagel is bold views on some global plays that's a lunda him in trouble with the republicans. she has. made a mistake some years ago when he said that he was an american senator not an israeli senator and this instant come up because in the in the last presidential election in the united states are in the israeli prime minister. support it. was opponent of the peace process for the war and seated

president of the united states and a very demeaning way. and so obama now is answering back to the israeli prime minister by appointing a u.s. senator who did a very very rare thing and asserted his independence. of the israeli government. people in the business and the ray-ban of us are of the uprising against gadhafi while the government is a new one dozens of armed militias lined the streets of major cities despite acts of all runways will remain peaceful. and attempts to study global economic troubles are being made at the g twenty gathering on financial heads hain moscow but the looming currency was weighing heavy on that minds all this right.

world couldn't. sleep its technology innovation all the moves developments from around russia we've gone to the future covered. you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so for you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture. more news today violence is once again flared up. and these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations rule the

day. look. this is all see coming to you live from moscow welcome bot. an anarchist group thrashing a major rally in berlin on saturday against what it sees as a massive expansion of c.c.t.v. cameras in germany the movement's opposition against the ever encroaching big brother turn from words to action long ago when it becoming notorious for trashing street cameras all across the country on his piece out of it takes a look at whether the group's message makes them different from ordinary vandals. if you ever get the feeling that someone is watching you whilst walking through the streets of the german capital there may be more to it than paranoia. the amount of sensitivity civilians in germany is on the rise and it's not as bad as in other

countries for example of the u.k. where millions of cameras are stored but still the number is rising and that's worrying us. that increase has seen some berliners take quite drastic action and fight back against what they see as the invasion of their privacy the target for their fight the cameras themselves the phenomenon has even produced an online game cam over the rules are simple film yourself destroying c.c.t.v. cameras posted online and points are awarded for the amount of camera smashed as well as bonus points for creativity although many privacy campaign is uneasy this more militants approach we're not a particular big fan of while and even if it's while it's against things that's a form of protest we do not support of the we support the message. is contest will culminate in a protest ahead of the european police congress in berlin law enforcers fear the

movement and its methods will only rise in popularity and public damage i don't think it's it's a group that is committing these crimes i think these are some people from the left wing political corner they want others to compete with them to destroy cameras and what about allegations that the rise in c.c.t.v. coverage was turning berlin into an all well state no i don't think so i think we have a strict law that only personal belongings or personal. the ground you own can be protected by a camera you're not allowed to point the camera at a public street and so i don't think there's. big brother watching everybody or germany does. some very strict laws when it comes to personal image rights even

global giants like google of how to censor the faces of anyone snapped on this street view service the advancements of things like smartphones the amount of pictures taken and uploaded to the web every day is sure to make it even more difficult for those who prefer to keep their anonymity the authorities deny that big brother is watching you in berlin however as the amount of c.c.t.v. in the city goes up it becomes increasingly difficult not to get caught on camera peter all of a r.t. . and being caught on camera is precisely what happened to a group of security guards the man suspected of having enough in the car keys to abusing thousands of foreign workers across germany details for you on our website r.t. dot com. also america is now as the land of free but online you have the story a one man who doesn't seem to cherish his freedom as much as others after he robbed

a bank just to get him back to jail. at times yet mostly peaceful celebration has begun and leave the country marks two years so the start of the uprising that ousted him on a khadafi massive rallies were held in two major cities tripoli and benghazi with flag waving crowds marching through the streets a bomb exploded outside a benghazi police station causing no injuries authorities said it was the work of criminals not political activists protesters are planning demos against the current regime and they claim they will be peaceful still there's fear violence may break out thousands of police and militia are in the streets and there have been reports of nato forces arriving in tripoli two years after the initial. uprising the government to still struggling to keep groups under control as well as east

separatist maids in the east and south of the country and they are succeeding as dr abraham aleutian political analyst and professor at the say today university in amman. two what we have seen over the last two years in libya is that this integration of a new form of central control paving the way for the fragmentation of the country into three states at the same time there is around lawlessness in the country there's an outgrowth of fundamentalism of the criminal type that has spilled over into mali as we have seen over the last couple of months and a little bit more than two months and at the same time we have this but sort of. strife breaking out between the front militias and the country so yes a lot has changed but not for the better. and now to some other international news

in brief in egypt police have clashed with protesters who are venting their anger at president mohamed morsi demonstrators cold stones and firebombs before being dispersed with tear gas they key is the government is trying to tighten its grip on power and using violence to clamp down on the opposition more than seventy people have been killed in protests against the government in recent weeks. in egypt police have clashed with our right then. what are some technical problems here all right there's been another delve into how to deal with the prospect of currency wars but as yet as g twenty finance leaders are still to agree on be sure which is driving the world's markets into

a turmoil the gathering is taking place in the russian capital as the country gears up for a broader summit later this year is this a governor who has been following the talks in moscow. a lot of conflicting statements have been said about this talk of the impending looming currency war which has led some folks some market watchers to be quite confused as to what we'll actually see coming out of this g. twenty talks here in moscow now at the center of the whole controversy of crisis is japan its doing and aggressive monetary and fiscal policies has seen a weakening of the and so what this has resulted in this essentially a clash between the countries very little consensus we did hear from a russian finance minister. who has said that this is certainly an important issue that of currencies that is very much on the table but at the very same time we've seen other world leaders come up and say that you know what currency wars aren't really a threat they're trying to calm down the market to some have even questioned whether

japan's actions constitute as a manipulation of the currency basically when a country is in a dire fiscal situation such as of course as we all know many countries are today like japan for instance is one option that a country has is to devalue its currency so making something like this a twenty dollar bill worth less you can do that by a variety of means for example me printing cash because why would you want to do that when your currency is worth less your manufactured goods are cheaper on the market and that gives you a temporary boost in the economy which could be pretty critical in tough times like this now what we've actually seen the fear here is that when a country does that your trading partner strike back they say hey we're going to lower the value of our currency and that sets off a currency war such as the one that we saw in the one nine hundred thirty s. which has led to the great depression now japan insists that it is simply trying to stimulate as kwame it's not doing anything to prompt a full scale currency war of course no country here wants to see that but the

reason that we're seeing so much disagreement and so little consensus among the countries is that you know what for example the united states policy isn't all different that. the fed in the us has been printing money like crazy so these developed countries don't really see any incentive in isolating japan in trying to really squeeze down of this currency manipulation issue because they don't want to mess around with their economies essentially so that is really the crux of the issue. and up next it's robert foster in his own paralleled musical monotonic gets us gun policy interests news. united states is based on. you know i care rest that you'll never have the fall

still play local news is welcome to the show today come on out to sing we've just got a studio upgrade like i'm on the system is devoted to the debate which is busy devoted to united states the same word for it pick mass shootings from the repeated to sandy hook school while someone killed them and to stop the bloodshed of this want to prevent coming is there a concept of the scheme past we consult expert guests from opposing factions the military response see is a representative of the black panthers problem is you know whiteness and it beyond judgment preach peace compassion in abundance the illegality fire retardants see some anonymous i agree but why ban guns what you learn to read you kidding the second amendment is the sacred law beyond gun bans are evil people are just sick suggested john trying to mask only happen when people don't have access to semiautomatic weapons and we were given this precious right to bear arms not for

hunting bears but to protect just you don't from predictive americans who would defend the land from the colonists no property from our own freaking government mistakes the winter when it will take time to try to take power they take the people look at hitler stalin killed all our chickens listen chavez george the third in fact is that a brit. the seventy seventy six lumps of plants you want to leave when it comes to trying to tell god let's hear from the general but it's the first time we've had you both in the studio together frankly i'm shocked by what this loss of valuable american lives is a tragedy eleven thousand gun murders he can be truly we need to stop this insanity what do you suggest to start the citizenry leave guns to the criminals smugglers and the military would listen is the key. we need a war on drugs in a workplace like our war on drugs was done from my cold and far general place i understand the perspective of the second amendment to you but can you predict

events like the over the assault began. when temperance shooting shooters aim shooting no longer called a gun you've been taking your meds the feds will go away to warn you david koresh of the school shooting that incident in connecticut was a deliberate orchestrated spike set up with aim to take down weapons and make the best of them better use them plus to keep the campaign says. but some like saint are waiting to take the united states and to give aid to be able to take their ships in this are the only one standing in the way of a general if the slaves want guns let them be our supremacy doesn't depend on weaponry with skulls media money in it we control every aspect of your life through ideological examination but if you think you can just stop to read then what you're waiting for the authorities strip you of your liberty for the system like some tickets you won super bowls. globalists.

well i guess that sums it up and brings us to point to the end of our report on guns in the divided stakes of america certainly it's not our place to pos judgement but listen with a question and a last comment if your passion for the second amendment were missed by down the just an independent onus media. the president's day would always be there but. if it's in to be significant it's typically begins someone close to the first and best look at the likes of you know with guns with the troops stay safe everyone.

helicopters flying through the air day and night rounds of assault rifle ammo popping as the choppers buzz over the land now this unique form of hell of terror is no longer restricted to those in vietnam in the middle east now houston miami residents of the good old usa can get in on the fun houston residents in terror called nine one one and scrambled for cover and even to schools put on lockdown as the military helicopters participated in a multi-agency training thrill in miami at night in the middle of downtown

onlookers caught video on their telephones of blackhawk helicopters pumping loud blank on to the people below and maybe even as i speak a flexibly scheduled military drill could be happening in jasper county south carolina you know when i was a kid they tell us about how that you. would parade their tanks around how there were soldiers all over their oppressed country even in one thousand nine hundred four or will meet in a point to describe our military helicopters would eternally be overhead and a dystopian nightmare world now we're living the nightmare the united states is a huge country there's plenty of room on remote army bases to do your training also last time i checked afghanistan evil which is don't look like downtown miami just who are you training to kill anyways knock off the terror trainings. but that's just my opinion.
