watching r.t. international going to live from moscow with me marina joshie welcome to the program how skyrocketing violence in the central african republic has forced international medical group doctors without borders to almost hold its aid in the country's largest refugee camp firing in the republic has been on the rise since the start of the year was doctors themselves now under threat the un is now also ringing the alarm of a humanitarian catastrophe as more than a half a million people are facing starvation while disease is rampant in the crowded camps and even though france has deployed a military contingent they have so far failed to bring peace to the country as reports. less than a year after french moods marched into mali france again is fighting in another of its former colonies in africa. let's address short of the situation in the

central african republic as alarming if not frightening that your paris received a green light from the un security council to use military force to restore order after deadly ethnic runnels in the country escalating. i have decided to act immediately or more precisely this very evening this was eight hundred french soldiers were sent to the violence torn country to join the six hundred already deployed there on the force that france has no other motive than to save human lives and months later and lives are still being lost on all sides france's sixteen hundred strong force appeared and mabel to put an end to ethnic tensions dating back to the central african republic independence in one thousand nine hundred sixty four through france of former monopoly is responsible for helping to create in africa

a number of totally artificial states like ca are and now they jump in with this operation which is stupid militarily economically and politically dangerous scandalous from a human perspective and lead to zero results that's zero results if we're talking bringing stability to the country but alan cribbins president of france is new and capitalist party believes there is more to paris's decision to intervene that i was your for france used the pretext of human rights and in fact it was aimed at protecting its economic interests in the c.a.r. is rich in resources but it mostly has value due to its strategic location in the center of a vast and rich area so it's eventually all about dominating and controlling the entire region. but i. others see the african country central location on the continent as the key to fulfill the stated goals of the french military mission of

securing the entire region. france and other european countries are threatened by islamic radical and terrorist groups that are now decentralized and developed in the belt from the murshid teenie a coast to somalia and french troops deter these dangerous forces and also prevent pirates and drug traffickers from uniting. but would both critics and advocates of the french military operation in the central african republic equally agree on is that no matter what the intentions are behind france's authorities decision to get moved it's the french people footing the bill that calls. the operation only became needed as there was a failure of diplomacy and politics in this year are a failure of the un the african union economic community of central african states and the you know who pays for this pricey campaign french taxpayers surveys show less than half of the french population support their country's latest

michu expedition to africa pushed forward by france's least popular president in poly history that more than a thousand french soldiers are now in the central african republic here in paris the intervention into the country's former colony still gets a mixed reaction no one's really sure if it's an act of goodwill or a calculated move to benefit fronts whereas russia not seeing reporting from paris . was talking more on the issue we're now joined by claire the emergency manager of doctors without borders colleen thank you so much for joining us here on r.t. to discuss this was far as i know you've been to the central african republic so do describe the situation there what's the humanitarian situation atmosphere there. well from a dr suess our border we are extremely concerned by the situation in central african republic we see more than six hundred thousand people displaced off alone

two hundred thousand in the capital and the finance is continuing our teams are witnessing that bodies on the streets every day yesterday in the camp close to the airport where more than one hundred thousand people are at this moment looking for safety. the shooting in the. shooting is so bad that even our clinic cannot continue in its normal ways we can no longer treat monitor ition we have still one or two doctors in the camp just to take care of the heavily injured people but it's almost impossible for doctors without borders to continue its work at this moment. as you have described the situations and lives ragin and dire but why do you think militants are attacking civilian objects as hospitals and as you just said even doctors making. making a very very hard for you to do your job. well defiance is just spiraling out of control people are so angry there's a lot of refence feelings there's

a lot of hate feelings and the two communities are really angry and fearful i mean people are so scared that even makes them a caress if the situation is literally out of control in the coffin and of the central african republic is not capable to to control this violence so there is no protection there for you and people like you that in other words right. we see is that the hospitals in bangor but also in the rest of the central african republic. men we had people discriminates in the hospital who came there to attack patients inside the hospital so yes we see a big problem inside the hospitals just finance and what about the people who are inside those hospitals and also the refugees which number hundreds and thousands they are i mean what's the fate of a awaits them. well inside the our biggest school cern is the situation inside the hospitals but also his people now being able to access medical care because they're

too scared to go to help post and are too scared to go to hospitals outside of our estimation is that more than six hundred thousand people are living in the bush years now i've met them my fist at them in the bushes and people are more nervous they have problems of accessing food if for success in health care you can just see that people are living in extremely poor conditions they're literally living in the bush piece that they're close which are more or less wrecks and some people live already since april last year in the bush and what is the way out of the situation i mean what would you lie the international community to do to change things there . well what we see is that there is an accurate need for she curity but it is also an accurate need for assistance if you need more are conditions you need the united nations to scale up furder to provide assistance that needs to be more money to provide assistance to despoil palatial and at the same time it's only possible to provide this systems if there is at least

a minimum of security on the ground or clearly in. the emergency manager of doctors without borders thank you so much for sharing your views with us here on c.n.n. national now good where asking from the institute of oriental languages and civilizations has peace and stability was never the actual goal of french intervention in the country. first of all the center of africa was. under french through and since the state became independent and smoked through the french army and soon center left legal second point is the former central african president was kicked out from power works just at the moment when he signed agreement with chinese. companies dime france didn't react and it is very important to. chinese economy is

growing economy and it's. much more active in africa. all the western economies and i think that's one of the basic reasons of conflicts in nothing no it's to compete issues between western powers and time. the story now that arch is following very closely the fight for life of a three month old baby girl injured in the recent terror attacks in the russian city of volgograd doctors say her condition remains critical but stable our correspondent allen reports. the guy is just three months only and she's already found life can be hard and unjust she was badly injured in a terrible terror attack she is now in an induced coma and intensive care clinging to life what a good year as a baby girl remains in a coma we put her on a ventilator in intensive care also she sustained some light yet serious brain

was a child she was a very talented creative girl it's very sad when people die in such sudden and violent acts like this she had big plans like any young mother i believe that her baby will grow up will leave we will be helping her because mother and grandmother on a stasia and tatiana are just two of the thirty four people who fell victim to two terror attacks on the railway station on the trolley bus more than sixty injured are still in hospital the city remains in mourning. in moscow margaret howell r t. following the attack some politicians have called to bring back the death penalty for terrorism even though they are polled and say the current law is enough while the in charge you don't call to see the argument. i will return very soon with more news don't go away.

a brand new health club in the u.k. city of bristol generate a lot of energy while training and it's not only burning calories but it's also eliminating the whole gym. looks at all the benefits of the new technology. the motive here is if in doubt count on the customers sweating in this bristol gym not just bunting calories that generating an electricity at the same time thanks to nifty new equipment the technology used it has turned these machines into mini power station the say by using this like i'm generating electricity that goes back into the grid and helps to keep the lights on it helps to keep the televisions well and even helps to keep the music playing. the idea is so simple it's hard to believe that just one equipment manufacturer has embraced it and this jim is pioneering it and if you press that button here it gives you

a standing of. the energies produced. i may have been vicious missions you've avoided the energy of producing as well so you can see when you're working night what you're actually powering here i am trying to power a juice maker in light of my fitness levels i'm only managing the fan but by using up less traditional energy this place is helping to save the environment under the guise of the gym's broom cupboard is the know of center of the energy saving system and this is the the switchboard this is where all the. stored energy from the machines anything that is not used will go back into the switchboard and be distributed into the other machines in the cloud so this is the nerve center yeah this is it this is the of the hub and this is what is my baby this big. jason the gym manages on usually tend to feelings for the fuse box could be to do with how much money it saving him or let us just the bill. for an example is about you guys

and kind of money with the new equipment that's come in we've seen that reduced by by fifty hundred one hundred month already say for us that's quite significant saving that for gentlemen over there is helping me to save energy. because energy prices in the u.k. have been rising so fast it's prompted a national debate on how to keep gas and electricity supply is in check but thanks to the power of the people jason's got it so it's head have you had some customers using the weights and you said why don't you try this treadmill of total much stuff to make sure they bring all the people with these are the wages were you going to say was a bit despite being used as human generated as the custom as our happy bunch and we were in and out of any way i mean a few years time god knows what's going to happen if you don't save any change that's the point to make. course that initiative really because for you giving yourself it you're also doing good for the environment which is good and you put in

something. looks like burning off the fat without buttoning fossil fuels has given a whole new meaning to exercising power playboy. and a short break next followed by the latest entry on so if you go. recently the federal reserve system celebrated its one hundredth birthday you know that big con game that just a few years ago no one seemed to know about has been in place for one hundred years so let's celebrate the federal reserve by remembering all their accomplishments since nine hundred thirteen firstly they've managed to take the printing of money 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 tending to gold until nixon finally said forget gold let's print our way out of vietnam because there's 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.
