reliable small arm in the world no competition a k forty seven short for afghan law 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 he is out and so did his automatic and likely combined the best of sheen and submachine guns killing power like we believe and simplistic 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 a quarter 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 like i do it weapons should be in the hands of those people who defend their country that is to defend not to attack i designed their 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 organizations mikhail kalashnikov had many honors including the. price the award the golden store the fuel for washing. the displayed 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. former u.s. navy and cia officer are michael says that after more than six decades in use the kalashnikov rifle still stands up to its modern equivalents in 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 american arsenal and the easiest one to love is 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 an old bolt action rifle it is amazing anyone can and. it has been embraced by oppressed peoples everywhere. to one more about the history changing weapon stay tuned for our documentary later here on r t as we take a tour of the factory worth the gun s. put together. now to other stories the former vice president of south sudan is now leading an armed rebellion has said he may negotiate with a government that's according to the u.s. special envoy there who is working frantically to prevent the country from falling apart a situation that would harm washington's interests now american corporations have had their sights set on the country's oil zone since it broke away from sudan in two thousand and eleven the new border is contained saudi percent and over seventy percent are say of sudanese reserves and now there are reports that army defectors

in south sudan are in control of these areas after two weeks of violence which have seen hundreds of people killed while this near has more details it is the boots newest country but it is south sudan who will be on the brink of its own device of 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 would lose their lives not to mention those who would be displaced and the latest coup the vice president for stone which exclaimed ignited his if you can oil this into a deadly rebellion just two and a half years ago the world rushed to recognize some sudan with washington among the loudest supporters is 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 per 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 to 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 it's money well i'm afraid it's going to affect each and every one of us worldwide you wouldn't see a. pullback in terms of production levels from the south sudan which would impinge on global world prices of oil are goldsmiths me we would feel it out the pumps in respect of where you are in the world where you go to see a lot so prices would go up there would be panic in the markets cause all to make the biggest losers would be the south sudanese people foreign fuel sons of pulling stuff out and in many cases winding production down to zero last weekend for

american service personnel who did as the 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 a 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 their said dispense and building these huge houses this fledging nation born out of decades of civil rule is facing the toughest taste of ritual to existence but the population where we'll find seeing and feeling has fallen down the priority list of those championing the news to get some sudan put on the map of course here our team. now there are plenty of factors behind south sudan's failure to build a stable state since gaining independence former if he'll be undiplomatic an expert

on africa mohamad a san told us what he sees as the main reasons. now i see it it is the political conflict the came from a bath and they could not solve their own problem and this problem brought into a division in the army and in the society of course exceptional forces probably playing golf in their own grown house you know southern sudan there is a very big wells and this will be supposed to be a blessing for the people of southern sudan but now it's becoming a nightmare and igniting a sectarian war which will be very dangerous for the over in sudan and not only for the people of southern sudan also for the region. you're watching our national 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 life. let's face it it's a. pleasure

to have you with us here on our team today i'm sure. welcome back here watching on t.v. at a national and twenty fourteen is almost upon us and it was been busy here at archie's sorting through the stories and revelations that define the outgoing year. these are local to big chunks 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 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 energy sufficient but what wasn't in a marketing pitch was a devastating cost this year has been daughter with fracking horror stories which in turn have given birth to a global proceed against shale gas drilling are just going to count reports from texas the fracking capital of the world where the local government in texas tells us they believe that the water from his well water that he can set on fire is safe

to drink and to use in his home. you can't get into your home. if you break it but steve has the assessment of other experts who say he's well is it ticking bomb in his backyard loaded with methane and other contaminants why the starkly different assessments steve claims that a fracking operation nearby contaminated his wealth and that texas energy authorities are shielding the gas company. they don't want the world to know that it really is this bad they don't want it in official documents. it could be that the fracking allowed gas from lower formations into the aquifer and subsequently into steve lipski as well the gas company denies the claim the lipski is sued the range resources corp but the firm counter sued and won in cause and effect evidence a ground water is incredibly difficult to prove my d.s.l. us are is an engineer who worked with the federal environmental protection agency

is not surprised that the state oil and gas regulator sided with the gas corp conceit that derives its income in survival from oil and gas production issues should be put in charge of also regulating the protection of groundwater from going down swells and there's any parent conflict of interest in that determined to fight for his home father of three steve has been shipping fresh water from the city on trucks at a cost of five hundred dollars a month but the family now faces another blow from the fracking corporation of four point two million dollars lawsuit for defamation steve lipski is dream house and it's a beautiful property has become his nightmare several of his neighbors apparently

have the same problem but they're reluctant to speak out after they saw how the gas company went after mr lipski they shouldn't expect much help from washington either this is the first time adios a lasar says the environmental protection agency has not put nearly enough resources into studying the effects that fracking has on groundwater but that didn't stop the e.p.a. from coming up with a report in favor of the practice. believes his word vise to vent the gas cost and to keep it from accumulating under their property as their neighboring gas well continues to frack it's hard thousand it were pretty much standing right on top of the one hundred years from now when somebody dies because there's some timing on the border and they're able to trace it to this fracking everybody off his head who cares invest in a philosophy for now it seems that the authorities at all levels are so fired up on fracking potential profits that households like steve leave his family are left to

fight alone to get a healthy environment in their homes. down or to keep parker county texas and george barda is a social and environmental justice campaigner who has become a leading voice in britain's anti fracking movement he says it's going to be a long fight the key from our point of view is to keep up the pressure so 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 turns 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. which international a secret amber room is found in the russia on our website police discover and

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 to 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 to 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 or libertarians in america would take too kindly to it and rightly so but that's just my opinion. true without firing a single. the one who kills that distinction belongs to the nut who pulls my trachea. an assault

rifle. as. a group from russia's interior ministry to start an exercise. in formation according to tradition they pay homage to past comrades who have died in the line of duty. this has taken many counterterrorist operations across russia . they have a variety of firearms at the disposal but their weapon of choice is still there. it's known simply as. there are. these soldiers with special training. regular procedure a lot of occasions to the kalashnikov assault rifle to be tested in such units it would be hard to imagine a tougher testing ground but. one rifle for

every batch is thoroughly scrutinized before being sent to units in the field. in a scientific trial. the rifle is designed. that when he realized his first model was to be subjected to a severe test he looked away he couldn't see it with his own eyes. testing a new variant of the. goes through seven stages first the gun is placed into the dust where the room is filled with. dust chambers filled with fine particles of silica sand the next stage will lead us to the sprinkler room it imitates a subtropical climate when u.s. commandos fought in the hot and humid conditions often prompted them to improvise

with captured kalashnikov. sixteen rifle kalashnikovs with such a climate. came up with a prototype of his celebrated rifle at least age of twenty two he says about designing it off to he was wounded in action during the second world war recognition of his achievements. later in one nine hundred forty seven when his. defense ministry design contest the new weapon was designated a forty seven. i took care to think over every single part to make them more technologically suitable for mass production. at the same time i needed to make sure that the gun was as reliable and durable as its design dictates that was not an easy task but in general any designer must be very careful with regard to every

detail of the design the. vietnam war veterans frequents this firing range in the us state of virginia it was here in the nine hundred ninety s. after the end of the cold war that the k.k.k. forty seven was designed as met their american m. sixteen counterparts following the gathering. put his signature on one of the rifles belonging to the club and this is russian ammunition. so it i'm sure it'll work well. general kalashnikov autographed this piece so this is quite a rare piece and when we shoot it i'm going to everybody. because we don't want to smear the signature.
