kalashnikov model nine hundred forty seven the year it was designed but the inspiration came a few years earlier during the war against nazi germany. this is one twenty one year old the red army tank commander mikhail kalashnikov was wounded in battle and was recovering in hospital dreaming of designing a weapon that would help if you examine and so did his automatic rifle combines the best of you sheen and submachine guns killing power lightweight ability and simplicity often during the vietnam war american soldiers took from dead vietnamese troops preferring kalashnikovs to their own sophisticated but unreliable and sixteen's when the u.s.s.r. collapsed eighty began to be sold on the cheap throughout latin america the middle east and africa where they were used by fighters in ethnic conflicts and in some countries by drug gangs and terrorists on al qaeda footage some of the london was

often seen with a kalashnikov rifle nowadays and the gun is believed to be responsible for the water of a million of deaths every year and this always upsets we. call for tougher year measures to halt the illicit distribution of small arms or yeah i got you it weapons should be in the hands of those people who defend their country that is to defend not to attack i designed a rifle not for international conflicts but to protect the borders of my homeland. designs different models of the gun but what unites them all is their simplicity and reliability. the assault rifle even became a cultural icon is depicted on the flag and coat of arms of several countries and organ. mikhail kalashnikov had many honors including the highest state award the golden store the fuel if you wish. to display such astonishing freeman respect unbelievably he didn't make a penny from the sale of his weapons the only way he could profit from his

action rifle it is amazing anyone can shoot and. it has been embraced by oppressed peoples everywhere. to learn more about the history changing weapon stay tuned for our documentary layer on as we take a tour of the factory where the gun is put together. down and out in paris. we find out why more and more people in the city of lights are finding themselves left out in the cold trying to find what shelter they can on the streets . the former vice president of south sudan is now leading an armed rebellion has said he may negotiate with the government and that's according to the u.s. special envoy there is working frantically to prevent a country from falling apart a situation that would harm washington's interests chaos and bloodletting have spiraled over the past two weeks with interethnic killings and intense battles for

control over oil rich areas of clear reports it is the world's newest country but is south sudan already on the brink of its full blown divisive conflict you know dealing with a civil war that knows no bounds in terms of how long that's would last of course it has no determination as to how many people lose their lives not to mention those who would be displaced and alleged coups the vice president for style to which it's claimed ignited his ethnic loyalists into a deadly rebellion yet just two and a half years ago the world rushed to recognize south sudan with washington among the loudest supporters south sudan has mining reserves and it also has massive oil reserves those are the biggest interisland for oil mining and agricultural production the agents of power that have put in place the government of self occur the agent that supported the south sudan sudan people's liberation army would be the government of uganda and powerful factions from the united states including

corporate executives from the oil companies so the oil companies have served their interests have been served by bringing deescalate to power which they did and they succeeded in creating a separate independent state called south sudan now those. a key oil producing area has fallen to renegade forces a huge blow to a government that relies on the industry for just about all of its money well i'm afraid it's going to affect each and every one of us worldwide you will see a cattail pullback in terms of production levels from the south sudan which would impinge on global world prices of oil and alternately we would feel it are the pumps in respect of where you are in the world where you go to fill up so prizes will go up there will be panic in the markets of course ultimately the biggest losers will be the south sudanese people foreign fuel firms are pulling stuff out and in many cases winding production down to zero last weekend for american service personnel were wounded as their military aircraft came under fire during an attempt

to evacuate u.s. civilians to safety president obama warns that he may take further action to keep americans safe i mean south sudan was never you know a country that had proper infrastructure in the maybe the complaint from from the people is where is the money going why are most south sudanese on the edge of survival and you know the new government is already driving their set a spends and building these huge houses this fledging nation born out of decades of civil war is facing the toughest test of a short existence but the population wary of feinstein and feeling has fallen down the priority list of those championing the moves to get south sudan put on the map here r.t. now there are plenty of factors behind south sudan failure to build a stable stand state since gaining independence former ethiopian diplomat and expert on africa mohamad his son told us what he sees as the main reasons. no.

the political conflicts that came from a bus could not solve their own problem and this problem grows into a division in the ugly and in the society of schools six of them force is put about pollutants leave it alone hold that and so then there is a bit of big rose and this was a supposed to be a blessing for the people still didn't see that book knowledge becoming the next move and is igniting the safety and world which would be very dangerous for them so done and not only for the people so that it's well done also for the. twenty fourteen is almost upon us and we've been busy here at our tea sorting through the stories and revelations that defined the going here. these are close to big cuts out here braving the elements in order to stand up to us oil giants chevron. this

comes after a massive hunger strike that returned the world's attention to the place that sums up jobs the gulag of our times. is an undeclared global battlefield in which yemen is just one of the front lines. fracking was sold to the world as a revolution in anarchy destined to drive down bills and make the west and self-sufficient but what wasn't in the marketing pitch was a devastating cost this here has been dotted with fracking for stories which in turn have given birth to a global proceed against shale gas drilling boyko reports from what has become a model of fracking resistance rule remaining. locals in this remote region of

remaining i have been saddled with an i'm going to guest u.s. and the giant chevron is due to begin drilling for shale gas bills opal agriculture is our lives become could grow in our soil for sure all moved on because we've seen them in the you know what they have done in other places when we grew up with. many residents here fear that the process of fracking could release chemicals into the soil and contaminate the water i grant you the expert of the guys the i'm so afraid of these kind of guess exploitation people see they will be big problems for our animals because the water will be affected and this sort of the food for animals and for us and our children as well we have children and grandchildren what should we do these locals and environmentalist have been camped out here braving the elements in order to stand up to us oil giant chevron and the armenian government which has given them the green light to start exploratory drilling in that field

day but that without any public consultation. with biggest problem and problem. gives you just people and two real true. feeling of puking because they didn't ask. we didn't matter to them and part of the sense of betrayal is echoed by most protesters there are many in prime minister was against planting during his election campaign and after being voted into office he changed his mind and granted chevron permits for the controversial practice but now nothing is happening chevron were forced to leave the area last week unable to get past the locals human chain around the site but it's only a matter of time before they retire and when you guess they don't have any future.

because the children of present the future the old people in the village told us that they can die but this is important for us to have a future well chevron told us see that they have all the required climates to begin drilling and plan to return to the site and begin fracking safety as soon as they can something that's less than reassuring for the growing number of people gathering head was all delusional when i would hope to stop them even if you mean staying with our lives if you want to send the army who will die it is species for us john so let it be. given until the friends of the romanian want to see you justy romania. george barda is a social and environmental justice campaigner who has been active in britain's anti fracking movement he believes the key is to keep the pressure up the key from our point is to keep up the pressure so the government and their cronies in big

business can't get away with forcing this onto the british people what we're saying every time this this technology time's up on the doorstep of a community in the u.k. that community does not want to unfortunately the government is preparing legislation at the moment it's trying to make it more and more difficult for people actually to oppose this this technology and meanwhile they've actually put it made it possible for people to oppose wind farms but not fracking so this is obviously highly inconsistent from our point of view. now a secret hamburger room is found in russia online police discover and illicit treasure trove with sacks full of gemstones worth thirty million dollars also on our website new cracks appear in israeli u.s. relations as prime minister netanyahu joins the global criticism of the n.s.a.'s mass spying practices details are on our t.v. dot com. right to see.

a look at some other stories from around the world a wildfire in southern chile has wounded four firemen as it continues to rage out of control it's already swept through more than three thousand hacked there was a forest and forced two hundred people to flee their homes high winds and dry conditions have made a very difficult for emergency services to contain the blaze. now the former leader of pakistan pervez musharraf will go on trial in front of a special court on charges of treason he had filed a petition saying only a military court could try him but those were a jacket musharraf is accused of illegally suspending the constitution in two thousand and seven when he declared emergency rule he says the charges are politically motivated. by the former oil magnate male how to kosky says now that he has been freed from jail he is determined to fight the cause of his imprisoned acts colleagues paid all of her looks at one of the people the former chief is vowing to found. after ten years in jail modest skeezers

now decided to do is need found freedom and some of those plans have caused a few raised eyebrows. some of my comrades remain in jail they are my fellow sufferers for example my friend platon lebedev alexei protrusion there are still other political prisoners in russia not only those related to the u. cos case i am free now and i'm asking you to think of it as something which symbolizes that the efforts of civil society can lead to the release of some people who no one thought would be able to walk free but to good was the head of security for his daughter called these oil company you cos he's currently serving a life sentence for five counts of murder. in two thousand and seven a court convicted ordering the shooting of blood in me a pet you call the mayor of a town in siberia bet you call four hundred clashed with you can also over his

as self-serving. how to craft a hostage of his own party he can act differently now if he ever recognizes what his security forces were doing and he will automatically become responsible to what end i think now he fears that. you may start talking again and what the third you can skate could potentially be is a further investigation into those murders and assaults which the company security forces carried out a lot of craft he has no other choice he will continue to insist to people from the security department up political prisoners that are and he will pretend to be pushing for release the ideal ation being heaped upon mr holocaust years left some of those watching feeling that only half the story is being told he stole a lot of oil not physically by means of fiscal or many police. every kind of businessman in the best who had done the same waterfall thought
