reliable small arm in the world no competition. forty seven short for off the mark 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 a red army tank commander mikhail kalashnikov was wounded in battle and was recovering in hospital dreaming of designing a weapon that would help the exam and so he did his automatic rifle combines the best features of machine and submachine guns killing power lightweight their 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 a key 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 have the gun is believed to be responsible for water over millions of deaths every year and this always upsets we've. called for tougher your measures to halt the illicit distribution of small arms oh yeah i could do it no 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 for washing. the display of such astonishing theme in respect

unbelievably he didn't make a penny from the sale of his weapons the only way he could profit from his invention was by allowing to use his name to promote various brands watches n p three players and even vodka but without a doubt his legacy is the forty seven it's reduction continues to this day and the guns reputation as the world's top infantry weapon remains unchallenged you go to school for r t now former u.s. navy and cia officer michael flowers says that after more than six decades the kalashnikov rifle still stands up to its modern equivalence when the power of the weapon is as you have said and it's robustness in its simplicity i have field stripped and fired every modern weapon in the european and american arsenals and the easiest one to love the forty seven you just pop the cover pop the spring pop the rod comes

a bolt and there it is it's the easiest modern weapon to strip short of an old bolt action rifle it is amazing anyone can shoot and. it has been embraced by oppressed peoples everywhere and to learn more about the history changing weapon stay tuned for our documentary later on r.t. as we take a tour of the factory were the gun is put together. now the former vice president of south sudan has now d.d. an armed rebellion his study may negotiate with the government and that's according to the u.s. special envoy there who is working frantically to prevent the country from falling apart american corporations have had the era sights set on the country's oil zones since it broke away from sudan in two thousand and eleven gaining control over more than seventy percent of sudanese reserves now there are reports that army defectors in south sudan are in control of these areas after two weeks of violence which has

seen hundreds of people killed mostly or has more details. it is the boots newest country but it is south sudan already on the brink of its own food blown divisive conflict you're 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 will be displaced and alleged coup the vice president forced out which it's claimed ignited his ethnic loyalists into a deadly rebellion yet just two and a half years ago the world rush to recognize south sudan with washington among the loudest supporters south sudan has mining reason reserves and it also has massive oil reserves those are the biggest interests land for oil mining and agricultural production the agents of power that have put in place the government of silva kerr 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 though a key oil producing area has fallen into when it gave 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 tail pullback in terms of production levels from the south sudan which would impinge on global world prices of oil and alternately we would fill it out the pumps irrespective of where you are in the world where you go to fill up so prices will go up but there will be panic in the markets cause 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 wounded as the military aircraft came under fire during an attempt to evacuate u.s. civilians to say. 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 and the main 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 there said as spends and building these huge houses this fledgling nation born out of decades of civil war is facing the toughest taste of shorty 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. r.t. . and there are plenty of factors behind south downs failure to build a stable state since gaining independence for with your korean diplomat and expert

on africa mohammed a son told us what he sees as the main reasons. no i see it is the political conflicts that came from above and could not solve their own problem and this problem good old to into a division into out of me and then in that society of course six of one force is probably out of political and so that alone. that i'm so down that is a bit of big rose and this was just supposed to be a blessing for the people of times i don't see that book knowledge becoming the next move and is igniting a sectarian war which would be very dangerous photos of them so done not only for the people of so that and so then also for that agent. down and out to aid in paris coming up we find out why more and more people in the city of lights are finding themselves left out of the cold trying to find what shelter they can on the streets .

you can. google the be. it was a. very hard to take a. cut you can't. get back with her but they're good. to you. you. you can.

you get. a. welcome back you're watching r t international twenty fourteen is almost upon us and we've been busy here at r.t. sorting through the stories and revelations that define the going here. these are very close to big chunks out here braving the elements in order to stand up to us oil giant chevron. this comes after a massive hunger strike that returned the world's attention to the place that sums up the gulag of our times.

is an undeclared global battlefield in which again and just one of the front lines . fracking was sold to the world as a revolution in manner g. destined to drive down bills and make the west an r.g.b. self-sufficient but what wasn't in the marketing pitch was a devastating cost this year has been dogged with fracking horror stories which in turn have given birth to a global course eight against shale gas drilling artist bullyboy reports from what has become a model of fracking resistance rural romania. locals in this remote region of remaining i have been saddled with and i'm going to guest u.s. energy giant chevron is due to begin drilling for shale gas. agriculture is our

lives if they come to drill in our soil for sure all will die because we've seen him in what they have done in other places when we grew up many residents here fear that the process of fracking could release chemicals into the soil and contaminate the water. of the guys i'm so afraid of these kind of gas exploitation people see they will be big problems for our animals because the water will be affected and this one on 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's 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.

that's looked biggest problem and problem. gives just people and two real true. feeling of puking because they didn't ask. we didn't matter to them part of the sense of betrayal is echoed by most protesters there are many in prime minister was against fracking during his election campaign but 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 on able to get past the locals human chain around the site but it's only a matter of time before they retire and. they can guess they don't have any future . because the children present the future the old people in the village told us that they can die but they say it's important for us to have

a future chevron told our sea that they have all the required permits to begin drilling and plan to return to the site and begin fracking safely assume as they can something that's less than reassuring for the growing number of people gathering here when we hope to stop them even if it means paying with our lives if they want to send the army we will die if it is fated for us to die so let it be who won't give up until the outflow franking in rumania boy see. romania george barda is a social and environmental justice campaigner has been active in britain's and ice wrecking movement and he believes the key is to keep the pressure up ok from our point of view is to keep up the pressure so that the government and the cronies in big business can't get away with forcing this on to 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 it 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 it's thawed there are three point five million square meters of unused office space in paris and yet nearly one hundred and fifty thousand people are homeless the french housing minister has recently called for all they can buildings to be filled with people in need are just more even optional meets some of those forced to call a street their home. a time of seasonal joy cross europe but not for all. these people have nowhere to sleep and nothing to eat if you have reasons to feel festive although some try. to see what happened while you on the

street cause you to measure up oh it's still very odd the system in france is designed so that anybody could be a graduation that's a very big decision on the shoulders people you know think of us coins because they know they could be here one of the back of his head about economic decadence is here we are collapsing and i know no one wants to to address at the edge of this pain france europe's second largest economy the number of homeless people has increased by fifty percent since two thousand and one despite the promises of successive left and right wing governments to sort it out a year ago one hundred fifty thousand people had nowhere to call home. in paris alone it's thoughts more than eight thousand people leave iraq today and the current economic crisis is not helping all reparable their family their family the same time family experience with kids the club example us who are largely what you

they do know one has money no one has a job in spain greece italy france everywhere in your reform there were jokes but to date there's nothing to date it's only day. as the day ends patrick takes of the us for tweeter he's one of five homeless people in france but dissipated in a social project called tweet from the streets to raise awareness of the rising numbers of those spent in christmas out of the cold status show society here is more loyal to homeless people than in any other european country and one of the reasons behind it is that many think during a time of financial instability and a lack of trust and what's to come but tomorrow they can find themselves among those asking passes by for spare change for its national party or a person from france. and a secret amaryllis found in russia online police discover and alyson treasure trove

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 to chew 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 children of 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 insistence that the oil giant pay taxes due to his tone the court found no link between the murders and the head of you cos however your cause widow believes this was a crime that went to the top. there was no one has to geisha about her that portuguese involvement in my husband's death he wasn't even interrogated both myself and other

s. . summer break a time when all students rejoice and most importantly relax but in russia summer break for male students could change dramatically and involve lots of guns currently male russian citizens have to put a year into the armed forces but the ministry of defense thinks that they can make things easier by having students spend their summer breaks in the military this training would tie in with their future professions such as engineering students

being put into military engineering position now the question is does your summer break belong to you or another words of the government have the right to tell you what to do and make you serve in the army even if just for three summers during your college years i think the answer this really depends on your culture in places which haven't been invaded countless times or have a strong individual ism streak any form of conscription sounds barbaric and oppressive but if you come from a country that is less individualistic and has been attacked invaded by pretty much every country that possibly could like russia then having a draft makes more sense i think this program could work and if i was in college i would be pumped to spend my summer vacation with some heavy artillery but this is definitely not a universal idea for all countries i don't think liberals are libertarians in america would take too kindly to it and rightly so but that's just my opinion. the the the.

hello everyone i'm having martin and this is a break in the set so marks the one year anniversary of operation pillar of defense eight days siege of the gaza strip by the israeli military the offensive killed the six israelis and left one hundred sixty palestinians dead the majority of which were civilians and like previous israeli military actions against gaza a pillar of defense was marred with violations of international law israeli military targeted civilian areas with missiles and airstrikes killing women and children in the process they also shelled public utility buildings a very early crippling gazan infrastructure even a journalist tower housing offices for several media agencies including this one r t was deliberately bombed fast forward to today and a chance of peace in the region is frozen once again as israeli land grabs in harsh rhetoric by bibi netanyahu continue this week also mark the anniversary of the

passing of palestinian leader yasser arafat who died in two thousand and four evidence now suggests that the former statesman was deliberately poisoned that's right swiss experts recently concluded that arafat's exuma remains contain traces of polonium a radioactive substance two hundred fifty thousand times more toxic than cyanide so needless to say this is a somber anniversary indeed and while here in america we only hear one side of this conflict in order to learn from history and change our future we must acknowledge these dark truths. of the day. it's a. very hard to take a. look. at the hair.
