threatening injuries from the debris that went flying now regarding the state of 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 of 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 this year obviously this is the what is 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
4:03 am
troops who are literally calming the city of volgograd and the region looking for 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 and on our website we have the terrible loss that rocked russia to head to r.t. dot com for the pictures analysis and reaction to the tragedy. it is just over twenty four hours since the u.k. lifted its seven year migration restrictions on remaining garia following and e.u. wide ruling polled 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 laws say and 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 gary and that
4:04 am
they expected to arrive in britain now that immigration restrictions have been lifted for them and that since he 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 skepticism and public concerns over mass immigration are it's an 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 for the latest report by the institute of public policy research dismissed these as symbolic gestures saying the person can cope with very many and ambo garion migration according to the paper instead of alarming 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 around i'm thinking about it now it's completely absurd it's the duty of not just government but all people that we need to be response but actually to explain the facts which are on the whole margins are considerably less likely to claim benefits that are very different and remain 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 hardworking and will contribute to british society something that economists here 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 you know 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
4:06 am
officials most of their countrymen would prefer to live in spain or italy anyway. judging by the weather here who can blame them. i see london a writer and journalist john white believes it is wrong to attack the migrants because it is a two way road. oh the available evidence is that the migration to britain has been an expose of both in terms of cultural enrichment and economic investment 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 nurses doctors consultants and clinicians we have to remember that one point six million britons british nationals are working through the u. and they enjoy the benefits of that so if we start setting up you shouldn't draw benefits from migrants we can expect

been viewed by millions raising concerns about copycat attacks many knockouts have taken place in broad daylight as victims were walking through their own neighborhoods and as the n.y.p.d. a department of thirty four thousand officers continue strong going to curb the string of violence citizens are seeking alternatives to stay safe. former n.y.p.d. officer rabbi gary moskowitz and is offering his seventh degree black belt skills for free to knock out victims and others seeking protection we're going to someone who works worker you must learn how to be aware you must learn how to fight if some girls were time for the knockout attacks or throw him into him ready to moskowitz believes are likely motivated by gang initiation it's something the n.y.p.d. hasn't officially acknowledged if they acknowledge that there's a guy who had a problem is they have to really try to curb all the gangs and they can't do that so for three or so a long time they don't want to put a name on something right away because if they put

4:16 am
years the 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. puts his finger on one of the reasons europe is struggling to emerge from its economic doldrums politicians who simply don't know what they're doing. we 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
