space agency's estimate of the explosive power of the meteorite which shattered over russia's year olds it left more than twelve hundred people injured and caused tens of millions of dollars worth of damage. at the epicenter and brings us the details how events unfolded. it wasn't a bird of the plane or superman but something much louder brighter faster and maybe times of war terrifying because big bright like him shiny across the sky you know blinding brighter than the sun and it was around nine am when the skies were suddenly lit up by a meteor or flying over to god and breaking into three parts and leaving a striking trail of smoke before vanishing just minutes later the city and the surrounding areas were literally rocked by a series of massive explosion. i immediately
1:02 am
called one of my teammates who lives in my building and i 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 a very scary. many were able to film the unearthly tsunami nonna later 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 end of the world and our t.v. 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 light from an airplane and then there was a bright fire and an explosion the feeling was like there are three shattering we
1:03 am
thought a military jets may have crashed or that it was some manmade disaster it was a relief to find out said he's a natural phenomenon except over twelve hundred people were injured including over two hundred children mostly from pieces of shattered glass not one of the girls ran out to take pictures yes. and she was thrown in by the wave that came after this the flash and then we. my ears got blocked and the whole room 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 you know 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
1:04 am
large ones ones that are hundreds of meters in diameter or kilometers in diameter that could potentially you know do to us 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 fire movie but it's really happened and it's another reminder 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 this going off towards the. central russia. and lawrence maxwell crimes from they school of earth and space exploration says this was a scientifically precious event meteors and asteroids on a comment and then 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
1:05 am
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 inwards 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 the solar system formed four and have billion years ago so for scientists it's a fascinating event and i'm happy that people weren't killed by it 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 on dot com so had a mind for that as well as updates footage and more comments from experts.
1:06 am
let's move things on now more than a week of debates brainstorming and policy revision or 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's not probe war enough or 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
1:07 am
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 an exhausting hearing mr haygood kept apologizing for much of the previous statements he had to take 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
1:08 am
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 claude 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 players that's along to him in trouble with the republicans. she has. made a mistake some years ago when he said that he was an american son of an israeli senator and this can still come up because in the in the last presidential election in the united states the israeli prime minister. supported. the peace process for the. heated president of the united states and a very demeaning way. and so a bomb in their eyes 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 band of us are of the uprising against gadhafi

a massive expansion of c.c.t.v. cameras in germany the movements opposition against the evan and encroaching big brother turn from words faction long ago when it becoming notorious for trashing street cameras all across the country all these pieces on of it takes a look at whether the group's message makes them different from ordinary vonna tells. you 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 in the u.k. very millions of cameras installed 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
1:13 am
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 ones against things that's a form of protest we do not support of the ovi 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
1:14 am
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 the only personal belongings or the personal. 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 should 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.
1:15 am
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 to leave the keys to abusing thousands of foreign workers across germany details for you on our website r.t. dot com. also america is now and as the land of free but online we'll 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 to change. a tense yet mostly peaceful celebration has begun in libya as the country marks two
1:16 am
years there's the start of the uprising that ousted monica duffy 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 armed groups under control as well as ease separatist needs in the east and south of the country and they all succeeding as dr abraham aleutian political analyst and professor at the zaytuna university in amman . to what we have seen over the last two years in libya is that this integration of any 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
1:17 am
country there is 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 but 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 breve in egypt police have clashed with protesters who are venting their anger at president mohamed morsy demonstrators hold 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.
1:18 am
in egypt police have clashed with all right then. what are some technical problems here are i does but enough to 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.
1:19 am
twenty talks here in moscow now at the center of the whole controversy and crisis is japan it's doing its aggressive monetary and fiscal policies it 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. whether japan's actions constitute 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 by printing cash and why would you want to do that
1:20 am
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 ok 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 its quantum e 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 its policy isn't all that different the fed in the u.s. 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
1:21 am
essentially so that is really the crux of the issue. and next to robert frost in his own power an old musical monotone gets us gun policy injurious news. united states is based on. you know i care rest that you'll never have the fall still play. oh the 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 the united states has to work for big mass shootings for the receiver to just say me look stupid while someone kill them and stop the bloodshed i just want
1:22 am
to prevent kill me is there a concept of the scheme past we can stop x. but just from opposing factions on your list to respond see is a representative of the black spot as you know white missing to be on judgement reach peace compassion in abundance believe in reality we turn to 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 guns are evil people are insisting suggested john crimes a 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 farm for leaks of americans who are defending the land from the colonists no property from our own freakin government respects the winter when it comes to pay to try to take power they take the people look at hitler stalin pol pot our chancellor and chavez george the third in fact is that a brit accent in the seventy seventy six months or so tons of you can't tell him
1:23 am
what comes try to tell god ok 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 ton murders you can't 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 british news to keep. we need a war on drugs and we're like our war on drugs one side just coming from my cold and far general place i understand you respect the second amendment to you but can you prove it events like the overseer saw. him when temperance joining to do same shooting no longer called a gun you've been taking your meds the feds will go to one you david koresh of the school shooting that incident in connecticut was a deliberate orchestrated spike set up with aims aim to take our weapons and make the best of them better use them plus a couple times they can find. someplace in there waiting to take the united states
1:24 am
and to get a creative dictatorship in this culture 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 skills meet your money and mates we control every aspect of your life why the logical examination if you think you can just stomp your feet then what you waiting for would already strip you of your liberty for the simple might seem to be if you once are bold. globalists.
1:25 am
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 pass judgment but listen with a question and a last comment if your passion for the second amendment were missed by down the budget and then independent of the bonus media. the pre internet president's day would always be a bit and tell the day if it's an abusive economic security begins so what follows the first an expletive laced. with guns would stay safe everyone.
1:26 am
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 participate in a multi-agency training for ill in miami at night in the middle of downtown onlookers caught a 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 jesper county south carolina you don't when i was a kid they tell us about how that year old soviet union would parade their tanks around how there were soldiers all over their oppressed country even in one
1:27 am
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.
