when we had the russian warnings about the south sorry no brothers were ignored by the americans because their game there was this tendency so it's russian warnings taken with peter salt and so unless the west does work cooperate more seriously with russia as equal partners in this battle against the radical terrorist groups you know that's the pressure that met that's the major shift that's got to happen and it's ok to have nato she's coming out today quite right and again this attack but are less there is this approach to russia more respectful approach instead of this on the one hand saying going to work with russia and other hand carrying out this cold war propaganda against russia that's the big should this will happen there. on our website we've got investigators the latest findings and opinion on who possibly staged the horrifying attacks and what the terrorists think they might gain and also be able to keep up to date on survivors conditions in hospital.

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 policy would be. coming up next hour to boycott her debts chew over the health hazards of obesity and the challenges facing. the. economic up and downs in the final months day but the deal sank night and the rest because i will be taking it will be every week on the.
