3:02 am
health of both girls the doctors are remaining cautiously optimistic because their injuries are serious and so is their condition overall eighteen people have been brought into law school for treatment these are some of the more serious cases out of the more than forty people who have sustained injuries thirty four people have been killed in the two terror attacks in volgograd traditionally new year's is one of the biggest holidays in the country but obviously this is due with us have been seriously dampened by the horrific attacks of volgograd in fact of the first three days of the year are declared days of mourning in the volgograd region there is also an alert of fifteen day long alerts for heightened terror. danger in the region as well and the mood is also exacerbated by the fact that there are thousands of police who have been brought in from other regions as well as internal troops who are literally calming the city of volgograd and the region looking for
3:03 am
possible clues and also of course to prevent any other terror attacks from happening again so obviously a very desperate kind of trying time for the volgograd region at the moment. on our website we do have more on the terror blast that rocked russia to had come from the pictures analysis and reaction to the tragedy. that is just over twenty four hours since the u.k. lifted its seventy migration restrictions on romania bulgaria following an e.u. wide ruling poll say most britons are ready to welcome migrants but only if they integrate and work hard however a quarter say they want immigration cutback no matter what the north say. boyko reports on how the u.k. is bracing itself for the influx. leading up to the new year the british government hadn't released any estimates about the number of remain ians ambled carians that they expected to arrive in britain now that immigration restrictions have been
3:04 am
lifted for them and that uncertainty hasn't done much to allay the fears of the british public and although romanians and bulgarians now have every right to live and work freely anywhere within the european union year of skepticism and public concerns over mass immigration a written all time high if you're coming to claim benefits you shouldn't that shouldn't be allowed and also if you flag the work you shouldn't be able to go on claiming benefits you should be asked to return to your country but the latest report by the institute of public policy research dismissed these as symbolic gestures saying the person can cope with very many and ample garion migration according to the paper instead of a law making the public the government merely needs to implement some minor contingency measures in order to help schools and housing stretch this deadline has been known about for precisely seven years so the idea that we should be rushing
3:05 am
around panicking about it now it's completely absurd it's the duty of not just government but all over the to be response but it's going to explain the facts which are that on the whole i'm arguing for considerably less like the defined benefit rather. than the persons remaining in diplomats to say that their citizens are deeply offended by that portrayal as scroungers and criminals in the u.k. press they point out that most of their citizens are hard working and will contribute to british society something that economists here a happy to back up it's quite important for politicians to step back and explain that this is not the end of the world but on the whole immigration and indeed free movement within europe and been quite beneficial to the u.k. economy despite the politicians tough talk in the tabloid headlines fears of a flood of migrants have been dismissed as nonsense and according to remain in
3:06 am
officials most of their countrymen would prefer to live in spain or italy anyway. judging by the weather here you can blame them playboy i see london and writer and journalist john white also believes migration actually benefits the u.k. he. told the a real the evidence is that the migration to britain has been i mean it's positive both in terms of cultural enrichment and phenomena in virtue and if you just take the health service for one example we are a national health service we would be nonexistent with migrant labor all levels of skill. doctors consultants and clinicians we have to remember that one point six million britons british nationals are working for the youth and they enjoy the benefits of that so. we're going to draw benefits from migrants we can expect a quid pro quo. meanwhile in europe dances to tough economic challenges are
3:07 am

3:16 am
crises and distrust of politicians is it has led to distrust of immigration or immigrants and i think what they're offering is not a very concrete alternative in terms of policy in terms of economic policy support for these parties is really based on you know and dislike of the established political regime whatever that is and so people are looking for some alternative and these parties come in and provide that but i don't think it's clear to people what they actually represent or what the consequences of their policies would be. and later today max kaiser puts his finger on one of the reasons europe's east is struggling to merge from its economic doldrums politicians who simply don't know what they're dealing. now know that people who are in charge of economics know absolutely nothing about money for example none of their economic models include money they just are modeling based on certain assumptions that don't
