a very good to have you with us our top story this hour thousands of security officers flooded the russian city of volgograd following two terror attacks in as many days they're trying to find those responsible and stop a possible third act of terror from taking place this suicide bombings claimed the lives of thirty four people and left dozens wounded doctors still fighting to save the lives of two critically wounded young girls who were brought to moscow for more special care are. reports. their russian children's clinical hospital it's one of the best such hospitals in the country and the girls are both being treated here now the nine year old received her injuries during the first blast that took place in volgograd on the twenty ninth of december both the girl and her mother have sustained injuries and that's terror attack this second terror attack which had less than twenty four hours later on december thirtieth that she placed on the trolley bus where both the mother and the grandmother of the three month old baby were killed the girl was said and that is the report according to

some of the doctors the girl was saved by a blanket in which she was wrapped which prevented her from receiving life threatening injuries from the debris that went flying 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 the facilities have been seriously dampened by the horrific attacks of all grad in fact of the first three days of the year are declared days of mourning in the volgograd region there is also at alerts a fifteen day long alert 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 all grab 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. on the attack some russian m.p.'s have called for the toughest of responses to terrorism and want to bring back the death penalty for anyone responsible opponents say the current laws are enough for a closer look at that debate in fighting on our web site r.t. dot com. he u.s. lifted a seven year migration restriction on both garia and romania but authorities in the deported two poorest states deny this will lead to any massive influx but it's been the subject of much scaremongering in the british press a recent poll showing that a quarter of britons want drastic action taken to curb the number of migrants are

poly boyko takes a look 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 this immigration restrictions have been lifted for them that sounds since he hasn't done much to allay the fears that 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 concern say the mass immigration a written all time high what are you currently doing to stop the influx of skilled workers in from the e.u. and upon him to do we've made absolutely sure that it's not possible for people to

come here simply to claim benefits to a putting a brace very tough measures in controls for the latest report by the institute of public policy research dismissed these as symbolic gestures saying the person can cope with very maybe an ample garion migration according to the paper instead of alarming the public the government may need 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 panicking about it now it's completely absurd 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 european union been quite beneficial to the u.k. economy 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 hardworking and will contribute to british society something that economists had a happy to back up be a real believer this is the migration to britain has made it positive both in terms of cultural and richmond and economic investment we have to remember that one point six million britons british nationals are working through the. enjoy the benefits of that so if we start setting up you shouldn't draw benefits for migrants they we can expect a quick cool cool despite the politicians tough talk in the tabloid headlines phase of a lot of migrants have been dismissed as nonsense and according to remain in officials most of that country men would prefer to live in spain or italy anyway. judging by the weather. you can blame them. i see. you. get some perspective on this from paul not deputy head of the u.k.

independence party which aims to limit immigration thank you for joining us here on r t just from watching your facial expressions as you were listening to paula's report it seems as though you found some of what she was going on there kind of amusing let me throw some numbers at you here some there we've got two polls here that show a wide divergence there is an ipsos poll that shows that seventy two percent of the britons that they polled would welcome migrants from romania and bulgaria and then there was a survey ssion poll that said about the same number would agree that britain should prevent them from working in the u.k. why do you think such a divergence because the poll is obviously a rogue poll i mean i would suggest that public opinion is so make closer to the savation poll people are worried people are fed all of the limits of massive immigration into this country simply because we're in the middle of a recession a million of our own young people between eighteen to twenty four come and get a job and what we want to do when you can this book this is people phased let's get

our own people back in some way and saturating the employment market even further by opening boulders to potentially twenty million people from bulgaria and romania well i want to have you listen to some voices of people on the street here that we talk to because no matter which poll you prefer to put stock in it it's clear that a huge number of the population doesn't see them as such a threat just take a listen here for a second. so ok a little tackle video and you need people to keep the economy vibrant and working and all that so i think people are overreacting a slake this and but we see the best thing to do is put the british people to find a job that's the problem and their jobs i don't really mind space coming we don't want to do. it as a job for them i'm quite happy with coming over the best but i think it's a real hype thing if that means back in that fancy fine of a problem with it. so what would you say to those people well i would say quite

frankly they're wrong in their not representative of britain as a whole i mean opinion polls over the past ten years have shown that people quite frankly affects all with mass on limited immigration what we should have is a point system like australia has like canada. in this country yes come here and work but if we don't need your skills then quite frankly we don't really need you to come here and i will put it to you that it will be better football gary and rumanians the majority will come here will be qualified will be young people for them to stay in their own countries sort out their own economies so how corruption in those countries rather than coming here to england and trust me the streets of london are paved with gold and they will come here and they will end up working in bars and restaurants and picking fruit and whatnot it would be better for them to stay in their own countries so why the u.k. is seeming to be so vocal about especially people in your position seeming so vocal

against immigration when there is other e.u. countries other you countries that are arguably on a better footing for example germany that they could also go to and not so much of a fuss getting kicked up over there. well i think there is a force in germany actually i think if you you listen to a number of politicians in germany. they aren't happy about on limits of the immigration and the reason to put the arguments about that the majority of people from the main here in bulgaria would go to italy and spain and what not well who would want to go to italy and spain their economies are in a terrible state and spain for example has fifty percent youth unemployment they're not going to go to italy they're not going to go to spain and what is critical here is that they can come here from april affairs not january the first and claim benefits from that day's and it's a noncontributory system so quite frankly they can con here and they can claim from welfare but are ever putting into the system i think that is fundamentally wrong and it makes britain a soft touch report from the center for economics and business research says that

immigration is a key factor in boosting our country's economy so did you think that they could actually say that again was the response they were they was they well they were they represent big business i mean immigration is great for big companies because they can pay people on bottom wages isn't good for your work a man can mormon you know for example operate in liverpool that a good number of laborers and two who go out bricklayers and whatnot who've been driven off site by eastern european immigrants who've been able to undercut them quite frankly i want to see as be putting our own people face putting british where it is at the front of the queue and the decision to lift these restrictions or it didn't come overnight surely seven years before this went into effect aren't there people who have taken these things into account at this point able to. absorb the impact from this. that well look the reason why we're having to do it is because of

the european union the freedom of movement of peoples as written into e.u. treaties which have been signed by labor governments and conservative governments so there's no point crying about it now the only way we can deal with this problem is by leaving the order and if people want to see points of protest and if people want to go out there and vote against the you can do so by voting for the party which wants to leave and that you can't on may the twenty second this year in the european elections good point that one of those people on the street said is that a lot of these immigrants are going to be doing the jobs if they come are going to be doing the jobs that the working man in the u.k. isn't necessarily so inclined to do on his own do you think that is the case or do you think that there are enough unemployed people in the u.k. that will pretty much be desperate to take any job and take these low paying jobs that otherwise might be filled by an immigrant we have a million of our own young people who are going to way have to say put it to you that that isn't good for any society what we need to be doing this but not only

young people and quite frankly at how the north of this argument mainly used by left wing politicians that they come here to do the jobs that british people don't want to do quite frankly what we need to do is to sort out our welfare system let's have not welfare get our own people back into work place all right paul nuttall live from london u.k. independence party thanks very much for your time thank you immigration just one of the issues pushing people across the political extremes the financial crisis seeing the popularity of far right org across the region are now concerned about methods being used to push their policies forward. but first a new form of pastime could be spreading among some of america's gangs unsuspecting members of the public being targeted by random attacks for the fun of it artie's marina porton i reports on a dangerous game already being blamed for several deaths. you're walking down the

street minding your own business and without warning police say they are investigating yet another knockout attack attackers mainly in their teens targeting victims at random it's called the knockout game the goal of this violent and twisted so called game is to knock a stranger unconscious with a single punch a feared phenomenon across the nation the ongoing brutality has claimed lives in at least three u.s. states here in new york city more than ten people have been randomly assaulted among the youngest a twelve year old student among the oldest seventy six year old woman was walking along warman avenue when a man struck her in the head this man too scared to show his face on camera says he was attacked last month while walking home from work surrounded me one of them as i tried to get away one of them stepped out towards me. and. with the clothes is hit me in the face in some cases suspects have been arrested and charged

however exacerbating the problem these videos uploaded on you tube have 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 struggling 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 a where you're more for how to fight if some girls were timed to the knock out attackers are for him and for him ready to moskowitz believes are likely motivated by gang initiation something the and wipe. he hasn't officially acknowledged if

ignored because we're going where the problem is they have to really try to curb where we're going from they can't do that for fear so a lot of times they don't want to put a name on something right away because if they put a name one of them they have to go where through arts he reached out to the n.y.p.d. to find out what america's most powerful police department is doing to combat the knockout epidemic our questions and interview requests were ignored it is not fair to ask any poor farm to be able to be assigned to everybody in the shrewd they can protect their morals from also new york city streets the big apple's mass surveillance system does actually allow officials to know where and when many of the crimes are occurring but so far filming the knockouts hasn't helped to prevent them marina. new york. stay with us here on r.t. international more to come later in the program as we take you on a ride would be to fill mountains of the caucasus a scene that will welcome those are taking a train for the olympic venues in sochi. britain's

out of the hands of the u.s. government and thus out of the hands of u.s. voters i what it comes to money who needs to mock received representation anyways they also managed to whittle away the dollars tagging to gold until nixon finally said forget gold let's print our way out of vietnam and because there is no link between the dollar and gold the purchasing power of the dollar has reduced by at least twenty three times since the fed came into being lovely but what about the next hundred years well if the recent rounds of quantitative easing are any sign of things to come then we are going to be seeing a lot more inflation and big private bankers getting richer while we all get poorer bad people generally don't survive one hundred years but bad systems sadly can go on and on and on forever but that's just my opinion. choose your language. of choice we can with zero in the financial system some.
