unemployment rate in britain we concentrate. any further with any more people. more was behind you greens you turn down the backlash it's barkhad to our website r.t. dot com. it's all a senate has stripped former prime minister silvio berlusconi of his parliamentary seat after his conviction for tax fraud the seventy seven year old politician has dominated the italian political scene for two decades despite facing serious criminal charges and being deprived of political immunity he remains defiant as are going off reports from rome. it was quite an emotional vote at the senate and the comments that we've been getting from mr berlusconi and his supporters are frankly just as emotional they've deemed his political rivals as the firing squad they've been saying that this is a day of mourning for italian democracy and that this was
1:05 am
a political assassination clearly looking at having to deal with several convictions including abuse of power and having sex with an underage prostitute themselves saying that he's not planning to back down he's not planning to go underground and wants to stay with his supporters you know his rivals on the other hand are celebrating comparing the former prime minister with al capone to the. the chicago gangster who for years managed to avoid prosecution but then was finally jailed for tax evasion now all of this is happening amid some serious problems with the cannot the italian economy the current government hasn't really been very successful in dealing with them they've barely managed to push through the two thousand and fourteen budget which is in the focus of a loss of criticism the economy is going through the worst recession since the second world war youth unemployment is very high right now. but what do analysts powerful and i believe the time government is using the scandal surrounding

a group of campaigners are calling for the recognition of national identity. experts now say that anyone who has a couple of thousand dollars for a three d. printer and an internet connection can make a three d. gun which will be invisible to x. ray machines and metal detectors in the us critics of the technology are warning it has reached a dangerous point with federal law banning undetectable firearms set to expire in less than two weeks i didn't read a board not found out what it takes to print a gun. rhett's shooting range in austin texas is normally packed with gun enthusiasm. today the difference is that these men are firing rounds with a do it yourself firearm the world's first three d. printed metal gun we wanted to showcase the abilities of what direct metal can do and what a better way than find something that can withstand

a bunch of heat tolerance and accuracy all wrapped into one which in america everybody knows which is a par. eric much later is a project coordinator at solid concepts company specializing in three d. printing here in prince arena r.t. was granted an exclusive tour of their austin facility which boasts ten three d. industrial printers and a glimpse of our technological future these are all the three d. printed parts that went into making this bar after getting a federal firearms license the company used a process called direct metal laser simpering to produce this browning nine hundred eleven pistol fix about twenty five to thirty five hours depending on the machine we put it on and what materials were grown in. this three d. printed metal gun has fired over one thousand rounds in the meantime solid

concepts has manufactured its second nineteen eleven firearm we plan on making a few more prototypes for additional testing. and we don't we don't plan on going into full production on these we can afford to sell them. at the price of be required to get our money back while the prices of many three d. printers have fallen below one thousand dollars solid concepts insists the stainless steel firearm they've introduced to the world can't be replicated by hobbyists these machines start at six hundred thousand and go up to a million dollars they need to be in. industrial environments they require more electricity than is available in residential areas and they require inert gases in the chamber that are just not commonly available so it's stuff only an industrial commercial type process and it will be years before metal printers become available on the consumer market if at all not exactly the world's first mini metal maker has
1:10 am
already been created it prints using precious metal clay and with laser centering patterns set to expire in february it's predicted that metal desktop printers will hit the consumer market before you know it five years and how small this is going to do it maybe five years after that you starts at home workshops and and you know having one on your desktop at home so that we are going there that it took knowledge exists the price will come down. as the world has learned the convenience of technology has a downside we all love to the internet cell phones e-mail and social media before finding out that our beloved data is being monitored and stored by the n.s.a. . the astonishing capability of three d. metal printers is no longer a secret. so when they become a part of our household tap alongside the microwave and flat screen t.v. . what people choose to physically create in the privacy of their home. will be

beyond the control of the u.s. government bring up or naya r.t. texas well here's what the first three d. firearm looked like it was created in may this here and the technology has come a long way in just a few months and it's now possible to make something that looks and works like a real weapon but the biggest threat here is according to engineering expert hod lipson is that firearms can now be disguised. it's a very universal kind of technology that can be used in los a different way some some good some not so good but it is alarming that people have started printing guns i would say the most dangerous thing is let's say a gun that doesn't look like a gun but looks like a flower vase or something else and so there is this ability to make things in any shape and form really defies a lot of the conventional thinking around regulating guns around detecting them and so forth and i think that's sort of it's

of mainland europe some health experts put that down to overworked still prescribing drugs when therapy would be more effective some say we feel we don't have time to be depressed so we take drugs looking for a quick fix but the depression alliance reckons it's at least in part due to the effects of the economic downturn i think there are people that have come forward whose lives have been hit very badly and by and by losing jobs and not been able to get into jobs young people trying to get started and then finding that the financial pressures that they're under has meant that they just are not getting off the starting blocks so many then the economic recovery will mean a return to mental health too and until then the u.k. will keep on taking the pills. and not everyone in britain is depressed by money troubles the former prime minister tony blair has been treated to a dinner at buckingham palace hired out by the us bank j.p. morgan makes keyser takes a ruthless view on that and here's

a person was to be identified as israeli in the national registry it would challenge the claim that israel is a jewish country something the supreme court is aware of as it is we have mary and a group of israelis petitioning for change i don't argue that laws draw. different but out form an arab set of them is something to accept it's not democratic we want despicably long. all of that. but for now the supreme court has dismissed the case leaving the debate on what is an israeli open for years it was truly created by one of the country's greatest caricaturists camile goddaughter better known as dorsch but slick is clearly jewish as a question of additional yet ok came up with a young man because israel was still young state and slowly he created the new israeli national guard more with the issue what happened with their neighbors palestinians included but they weren't part of the character. like the registry

thailand since two thousand and ten. while the olympic torch continues its record breaking trip to sortie disabled athletes are getting psyched up for their moments to shine the winter paralympics is now less than just one hundred days away. met with some of russia's hopeful medalists. i copied as it should be intense fierce determined and i like you. just with two sticks one in each hand with extra risks. for you miss you're constantly flying around a high speed collisions and everything for me crazy. tireless commitment to work or just. training all the time morning to every day of these seventeen paralympic athletes in a twenty fourteen russia sledge hockey team and thirty six year old by doing so you can is their captain he was injured in two thousand and two while serving in the
1:23 am
russian military in chechnya. before the age of twenty five i used to have a completely different life were also for both of them but after the injury i turned to sports to realise my potential. he went from swimming to taking up a chance to join russia's brand new sledge hockey squad. no one is going to bring you things on a silver platter you but here we had an opportunity to work for free since two thousand and nine when we were told we were going to participate in the second paralympics it's been a driving force in a country that struggled to accommodate people's disabilities russia's paralympic coach says the team is helping to change perceptions in the demo. but a few minutes ago in eugene was more these guys managed to prove to themselves their relatives and the entire society that they are not people with disabilities but people with limited abilities. he has been a part of the paralympics since one thousand nine hundred four but this is the
1:24 am
first year that russia will compete this board only came here four years ago as vadim remembers what we were just staring at one another not really knowing what to do first. let me show you. here is the sledge what it is this is the blade and this small area is the seat. which means it's terribly unsteady so just imagine you have to keep your balance and simultaneously carry the puck you keep falling down and it takes a lot of time to get back up but now we're skilled at it. but these sledge hockey players they're really just so she doesn't believe it's taken an immense amount of hard work personal sacrifice and dedication but the payoff is that it's just on the ice. to this experience i believe that people who have survived a car crash or a plane crash will look at us and realize that even with an injury like that you
1:25 am
can live on you can set your own goals and achieve the. captain of our team to the region of russia. and the next year in our d.n.a. martin looks out of failures of the u.s. criminal justice system bringing. i hate to be a downer but i really think the olympics have lost all meaning in the past when there was the cold war it was like a battle between two ideologies taking place in the abstract at the one nine hundred thirty six olympics nazi pseudo science their self-proclaimed superiority was put on trial for the whole world to see and it's quite the olympics having the
1:26 am
majority of the countries on earth participating there are now horribly horribly bland one could argue that they have become a great way for countries to show off their ex used to build up some infrastructure by think this is a big misconception let's look back to two thousand a lympics in beijing yet china is really develop in the last twenty years but the deliberate truly teach us anything about this country with a radically different political system or anything about their. ancient culture or the way they think of the way they live no nothing at all all we saw were some flags and some pandas that rather unique stadium which was mostly the work of a swiss company yeah i hate to say it by think the olympic flame is kind of burnt out over the years although i have to admit that saying the torch in the space was kind of neat i think that when and if the world ever becomes an ideological battle ground again then the olympics will become worth watching but for now it's just generic sports from generic countries of generic stadiums but that's just my opinion.

1:29 am
a shame considering how bomb as a former user of marijuana and cocaine so how many people who has obama pardoned in total while the number stands at forty just for comparison at the same point ronald reagan's presidency he had already pardoned three hundred thirteen people and reagan was a horrible president so go with the program obama last time pardoning but paltry and more time pardoning persecuted prisoners. it's a. very hard to take. that fact that there.
