you care about humans in. this is why you should. only. our teams are witnessing dead bodies on the streets every day. as the central african republic stands on the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe argy speaks to a member of doctors without borders who saw the rampage of violence despite a french led military mission their. doctors struggled to save a three month old baby girl injured in one of the deadly blasts that hit the russian city of volgograd before the new year r.t. brings you the latest on the life and death battle unfolding at a moscow hospital. government troops and the balfa control over two cities in central iraq as the u.n. reports a massive hike in conflict casualties last year. seven

pm in the russian capital watching on t.v. we were even joshie welcome to the program 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 fighting in the republic has been on the rise since the start of the year was doctors themselves now under sarette the un is now also ringing the alarm bell of a humanitarian catastrophe as more than 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. courts. 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 the situation in the

central african republic as alarming if not frightening that your parents received a green light from the un security council to use military force to restore order after deadly ethnic russians in the country escalated. i have decided to act immediately or more precisely this very evening this was eight hundred francs soldiers were sent to the violence torn country to join the six hundred already deployed there. the force that france has no other motive than to save human lives and months later and blinds 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 zero results if we are talking bringing stability to the country but alan cribbins president of france is new and capitalist party believes there is more to paris his decision to intervene. 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 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 mercian timi a coast to somalia. and french troops deter these dangerous forces and also prevent pirates and drug traffickers from uniting. but with both critics and advocates of the french military operation in the central african republic equally it green on is that no matter what the intentions are behind france's authorities decision to get involved it's the french people footing the bill that was. the operation only became needed as there was a failure of diplomacy and politics in the c.a.r. 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 suppose the country's latest

michu expedition to africa pushed forward by france's least popular president in power in history well 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 russian are seeing reporting from paris. and we spoke to carling clare the emergency manager of doctors without borders and here's what she had to say about the situation on the ground. we see more than six hundred thousand people displaced olf alone two hundred thousand in the capital and defiance is continuing our teams are witnessing dead 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

. thing is so big that even our clinic cannot continue in its normal way so we can no longer treatment attrition we have still gone 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. the hospitals in bungay but also in the rest of the central african republic are are in feted by armed men we have people discriminates in the hospital who came there to a deck patients inside to hospital so yes we see you it's a big problem inside the hospitals was fine and our biggest concern is the situation inside the hospitals but also his people being able to access medical care because they're too scared to go to help post and or to scared to go to hospitals outside of bangui our estimation is that more than six hundred thousand people are living in the bushes and i've met them i faced them in the blue shoes that people are more nervous they have gone just accessing food to accessing health

care and 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. of oriental languages and civilizations says peace and stability was never the actual goal french intervention in the country. first of the central africa was. under french in the through and since the state became independent in some of the first time french army and central africa second point is is that former central african president was kicked out from power works just at the moment when he signed agreement with chinese. companies i've done time france they didn't react and it is very important to serve chinese economy is growing economy and it's in an economy much more active in africa

than all western economies and i think that's one of the basic reasons of conflicts enough to come out it's to compete issues between western powers and time. and a story now that art is following very closely the five her life of a three month old baby girl injured in the terror attacks in the russian city of volgograd doctors say her condition remains critical but stable correspond margaret howell reports the guy is just three months old but she's found that life can be hard and unjust she was badly injured and a terrible terror attack she is now in an induced coma in intensive care clinging onto life what it could you is a baby girl remains and a coma we put her on a ventilator in intensive care also she sustained some light yet serious brain damage condition is very serious but we've got it under control. on that dreadful

and gulf intense fighting iraqi government forces supported by armed tribesmen are trying to win back control of the area after it was seized by al qaeda fighters according to the latest reports the iraqi army has eliminated a rebel commander in the city of ramadi the conflict there escalator earlier this week when troops cleared an anti regime protest camp which the government said had turned into a haven for insurgents as soon as the army was drool cotta won back control of the area and this fighting comes amid un reports that confirm mr bates that last year was the bloodiest for iraq since two thousand and eight for more perspective on the situation let's now bring in defense consultant and conflict analyst morning rolf. thank you so much mr zero for joining us here on our national to talk about the situation in iraq and as we've been effectively involved in control of two key cities in the heart of the country so what does this say about the state of

security there in the country. well security is non-existent in iraq but i think we are mislabeling the situation by calling it an al-qaeda insurgency it's it's really a saudi arabian sponsored wahhabi just ideology that is responsible for this. this is the same or similar situation in syria lebanon libya somalia and everywhere else there is no such thing as al-qaeda there is a wahhabi ideology. that is pushing this sort of insurgency to increase but with iraq. the nato intervention has created a situation where there's a separation sunnis and shias are not against each other as a reporter in western mainstream media they may have a few differences but the in actual fact as people they get along really well but

actually you know what i mean this looking at the situation in iraq looking at the you know their ass nic and religious tapestry of the country. here we have a situation where sunni's and the shia do not always see eye to eye don't always agree in fact the sunni minority claims out they are being targeted by the shia led government and its war on terror specifically so do you the sunni's have a voice in this conflict what is the situation there in iraq of around. ok that's a good point the situation is nato created a division among the sectarian communities. and what's taken place is they gave power to the shia and no power to the sunni so the sunni are fighting for a place in the society and in government so the. saudis are also sponsoring the. terrorists to create chaos in the country simply

to eliminate the shia influence or overall you know what about the government and the measures that it's taking i mean it seems like they're taking harsh measures here i mean is there no other choice dealing with the situation in your opinion well there has to be a different choice and the choice is to include the sunni factions or the sunni people into the government bring them into the mainstream remember then we're looking at the north kurdish areas they're sitting back and at some point they're going to they're going to ask for autonomy not autonomy but to go to ask for a separation which is something that's happening and probably happening in syria as well so the shia government led government in the above does need to include the sunnis into government so that they can they can have peace everlasting well now we've received conclusive u.n.

reports on iraq and the situation there in the twenty's thirteen that say that in fact last year was the most violent after two thousand and eight do you expect this to continue in the new here briefly from could. yes it would continue unless the world recognizes that the saudi arabian one ideology of financing do scales needs to be stopped they need to be stopped and told in no uncertain terms that they need to rein in the terrorists and unless this happens i'm afraid we'll see more of this mine move to fans from sultan conflict analyst thank you so much for sharing your views of us here on r.t. international. and we'll return very soon where the reports from the russian city of sochi that is ready and waiting to accept its winter olympic guests.

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 working 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 in this gym is pioneering it and if you press that button here it gives you an understanding 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 i what you're actually powering here i am trying to power a juice make 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 no of center of the energy saving system 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 bit that jason the gym manages on usually tend to feelings for the fuse box could be to do with how much money it's saving him or let us just the bill. for an example is about eight thousand kind of money with the new equipment that's come in we've seen that reduced by by fifteen hundred pounds a month already so for us thus quite significant savings that four gentlemen over there is helping me to save energy. and calls 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

recently the federal reserve system celebrated its one hundredth birthday in that big con game that just a few years ago no one seems 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 us voters i what it comes to money who needs to mock received representation anyways they also managed to whittle away the dollars tagging the 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 forever but that's just my opinion. of the twenty fourth. this police line. is is so special as the russian resort prepares to welcome the world's power the king the city's present and future. so putting it this is a. very cold snowy windy mountainous tough. lympics with them. today. no to mining just to live don't have mining just to live. there's
