for social justice golden rice monarchy. our teams are witnessing dead bodies on the streets every day as the central african republic stands on the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe we speak to a member of doctors without borders who saw the carnage that is the gulf country despite the french led military mission. also the doctors struggle to save a three month old baby girl injured in one of those deadly blasts that hit the russian city of volgograd before the new year we bring you the latest on the life and death battle unfolding in a moscow hospital for. government troops not hide a battle for control of the two cities in central iraq as the u.n. report confirms twenty thirteen as the deadliest year for the country since two thousand and eight.

a low life in the arctic new center of mid ninety's kevin already this record of the company the top story skyrocketing violence in the central african republic has forced the international medical group doctors without borders now to almost halt his aid in the country's largest refugee camp fighting in the republic spiked in december with doctors themselves know under threat the u.n. is also urging the ringing the alarm bell over humanitarian catastrophe and urging help as more than half a million people are facing starvation what disease is rampant in the overcrowded camps and even the france's deployed military contingent the troops have so far failed to bring peace to the country as artie's made for an ocean of found. 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 your thought the situation in the

central african republic is alarming if not greater that your paris 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 french soldiers were sent to the violence torn country to join the six hundred already deployed there on a 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 a 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 krueger the main president of france is new and to capitalist party believes there is more to paris's decision to intervene . france used the pretext of human rights but in fact it was aimed at protecting its economic interests 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 countries 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 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 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 all french taxpayers. surveys show less than half of the french population support their country's latest michu explanation to africa pushed forward by france's least popular president in

polling 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 a locked of goodwill or a calculated move to benefit fronts. whereas russia not seen reporting from paris. we spoke to colleen clare the emergency manager of doctors without borders this is what she'd say about the situation on the ground there now. 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 camp and the shooting is so big that even our clinic cannot continue in its normal way so 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. the hospitals in bangor but also in the rest of the central african republic are feted by armed men people discriminates in the hospital who came there to a deck patients inside the hospital so yes we see oh it's a big problem inside the hospitals are our biggest concern is the situation inside the hospitals but also it's people not 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 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 bushes and people are more nurse they have access in 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

this close which are more or less wrecks and some people live already since april last year in the bush brood rescue from the institute of foreign languages and civilizations spoke to us and says peace and stability was never the actual goal of the french intervention in the first place. first of all is central africa worth them under french influence since they became independent in smoke through the french army it's in central africa second point is is the former central african president was kicked out from power work just at the moment when he signed agreement with chinese. oil companies i've done dime friends 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.

lentil little.

rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want. a little. millennial is have to keep paying for benefit programs they probably won't be receiving themselves financial expert neil gross was here with a warning for a generation w.t.f. plus the nation's katrina vanden heuvel. cohen are here with what they call the growing antagonism of the united states russian relations it's all next on politicking with larry king i. i i got a ticket with larry king we begin with neil grossman financial expert managing partner chief investment officer of t.k. energy capital and author of the new e-book generation w.t.f.

how millennial can stop the mushrooming cost of social security medicaid and medicare what is what is w t f well i'm not sure i can say this on say a lively sense for what the. really that's what you want it to mean is that you have a generation that's got one hell of a problem in front of them and who are the millennial as well you know they're generally thought to be people under the age of thirty and they're a growing part of the population obviously but they're being in combat with a massive headache by you know my generation the baby boom and you know generations that have preceded this is you're saying they're going to face future problems in medicaid so sure you know i because the burden we put on them because of the burden we've been putting on iran they've been saying that since this program started i've been here i'm eighty years old yes you are all my life i've heard you people going to pay for this is keeps on working but it is there actually you don't see it as directly but you know the bottom line is that the deficits of been growing fairly significantly over the last fifteen years

a significant part of that actually is tied into the fact that we have been spending the accumulated surpluses and running them down. you know medicare medicaid is going to be actually functionally insolvent within the next three or four years social security runs out of money in the mid two thousand and thirty's but in fact if you look at what they expected and saw and see day it was ten years ago it was four or five years longer so it's been shortening and shortening and shortening as well have been that is true what do we do well there are a couple of things first of all there are the financial solutions number one but i think that the reason i wrote this book is i think this is really both a political and an emotional problem and the problem politically is you have a very large aging population demographically there are forty million seniors now in twenty years they're going to be eighty that's going to almost twenty five percent of the not going to take away their social they are very very difficult to take that away they have an amazingly powerful voices you know and my feet.
