the stories that dominated the week on r t volgograd pays its last respects to the victims of two terror attacks while medics labor to save the lives of sixty five others including young children in critical condition. security and slaughter in the central african republic proves too much for foreign troops to handle with reports of the beheading of children raising alarm at the un. a low blow new york residents have a new reason to be wary on the streets as a potentially deadly game of violence spreads fear across the city. and as the rules relax making it easier for internal migration the british get wary over a possible wave of unskilled workers and criminals calls for the prime minister to

safeguard borders go on here get. us in our two international live from moscow with me and he said no way volgograd began the new year stricken by grief as the city mourned the buried and buried i should say the victims of two bombings during the last days of december thirty four people died in the attacks while twice that number remained in hospitals many in intensive care this hour we bring you the story of another survivor a nine year old girl who remembers being told to stay awake by her rescuer. it was just another day for u.t. and wagner grant's main train station but suddenly an old changed.

there was a loud clamp the force of it was so strong that it smashed the windows in the doors of the luggage room i got up and rushed in to help people it was the first of two explosions that rocked the city just east before the new year the blast of the station set off by a suicide bomber route through a crowded area between the entrance and the security metal detectors and. then i noticed a man in a girl's car ran towards the girl asked her whether she could breathe she was losing consciousness i picked her up and carried out of the station you'd be saved a nine year old all following an ironic twist of fate she was there with her family to return train tickets as they decided to travel by plane in stat. she was so brave she didn't even cry i was talking to her all the time she kept saying that she wanted to sleep but she was just losing consciousness and i was telling her just don't sleep don't sleep there was panic and horror in the street

and it took you really some time to find an ambulance for the girl. i rushed to the ambulances but they told me the only take grownups and that i have to wait for the children's emergency to arrive i apologize now but i thought that time i broke down i started yelling at them swearing and finally they took her. as soon as transportation possible the youngest victims of the volga grad terror attacks were delivered here to the children's clinic hospital in moscow and currently doctors are battling to save their lives doctors say the girl has damage to her lungs her mother is with her at the hospital and her condition is stable but serious as the first shock of what happened fade it all disappear and started to look for their daughters rescue they even posters or call for help on a social network. please help us identify the man who carried our oil out of the

train station after the bombing on december twenty ninth twenty thirteen he told her not to fall asleep the girl remembers him has been asking about him for two days straight we really want to tell him thank you so that it was good we will meet again definitely i will wait for her recovery and will keep in touch. my no question our team moscow. well keep you have to date on all those condition as it changes next hour you can hear the story of how a three month old baby survived a tragedy in volgograd was speaking about the attacks russia analyst matthew clements tells us the bombings were intended to sow fear ahead of the olympics. the militants appear to be aiming to create the idea of a sustained operation to increase the psychological impact of these at times and i think on friday there was a computer to go ski instructor a pole a car bomb attack which left several dead so in quick succession we've seen three

quite significant terrorist attacks targeting civilians and in particular the transport infrastructure and i think this is designed to really heighten the psychological impact of these attacks which we assess partly designed to try and create a sense of insecurity ahead of the winter olympic games to be held in sochi in february. on our website we've got investigators latest findings and opinion on who possibly stage the horrifying attacks and what the terrorists think they might gain off to be able to keep up to date with survivors conditions in hospital. well rights groups say the situation in the central african republic is out of control the met horrifying reports of children being beheaded thousands of international troops are in the country but i fail to halt the bloodshed instead their presence appears to have emboldened christian mobs which are now lynching muslims in the capital refinance an outline of what's at stake for france in this

conflict. less than a year after french moods marched into mali france again is fighting in another of its former colonies in africa. and i suggest you also the situation in the central african republic is alarming if not frightening that you paris received a green light from the un security council to use military force do we still hold a after the deadly ethnic runs in the country escalated. i have decided to act immediately or more precisely this very evening this was eight hundred french soldiers was sent to the violence torn country to join the six hundred already deployed. then after 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 zero results if we are talking bringing stability to the country but alan creepin president of france is new and capitalist party believes there is more to paris's decision to intervene your fourth fifth 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 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 teenie a coast to somalia. and french troops deter these dangerous forces and also prevent pirates and drug traffickers from uniting. which 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 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 pollen 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 friends. whereas russian artsy reporting from paris. but bruno diverts care from the institute of oriental languages and civilizations there is particular significance in when france decided to act. 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 central africa second point is is the former central african president was kicked out from power works just at the moment when he signed agreement with chinese. oil companies i've done time france didn't react and it is very important to. chinese economy is a growing economy and its. economy much more active in africa than all western economies and i think that's one of the basic reasons of conflicts in africa it's to come to fruition between the western powers in times. of the rough and tumble of new york streets are known for their magnanimity and now citizens have a new type of gang violence to contend with as rampart naya discover the police

seem unable to do anything about it. 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 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 and one of them as i tried to get away one of them stepped out towards me. and.

with the clothes is on 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 time for the knockout attacks are for him and for him i'm ready to moskowitz believes are likely motivated by gang

initiation was something the n.y.p.d. . hasn't officially acknowledged if ignored because the guy who had a problem is they have to really try to curb where we're going from they can't do that so for fear for a long time they don't want to put a name on something right away because if they put a name on a gun they have to go where through our t.v. 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 form to be able to be a foreign to everybody in the shrewd they can protect more of them also in 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 with the holiday season almost over apple's boasting of huge sales of its i phones what my concern new owners of the devices of the n.s.a.

is celebrating to apply agency has apparently the i phone down to the bones and can turn any handset into a remote spying tool later in the program we'll report on what it's doing to our trust in technology. and shedding light on the games we report on the unique eliminations for the winter olympics and the work it took to make sochi shy that's after a short break. this is immediately though so we leave that maybe. motion secure the way your party there's a bill. for shoes that no one is asking with to get that you deserve answers from. politics.

thank. you. do we speak your language as anybody will or not a day i. will use programs in documentaries and spanish more matters to you breaking news a little eternity bangalore's keep these stories. here. i'll teach spanish to find out more visit i to allahabad. since new year's day britain's been braced for a flood but this is nothing to do with the storms battering the country right now the u.k. fears a massive influx of eastern europeans now the e.u.

wide immigration rules are relaxed as probably boyko reports people's biggest concerns are a wave of unskilled workers and criminals leading up to the new year the british government hadn't released any estimates about the number of remain ians ambo gary and that they expected to arrive in britain now that immigration restrictions have been lifted for them and that since he hasn't done much to allay the fears of 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 are it's an 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 putting in place very tough measures and controls but the latest report by the institute of public policy research dismissed these as symbolic gestures saying that person can cope with very maybe an ambo garion migration according to the paper instead of an alarming the public the government maybe needs 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 europe and you know 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 god working and will contribute to british society something that economists had happy to back up over be a real believer this is the migration to britain has been a positive both in terms of cultural and richmond economic in which we have to remember that one point six million britons british nationals are working for you and they enjoy the benefits of that so if we start setting up you shouldn't draw benefits for migrants we can expect a quick cool cool despite the politicians top. talking to tabloid headlines fears of a flood of migrants have been dismissed as nonsense and according to remain in officials most of their countrymen would prefer to live in spain or italy anyway judging by the weather here who can blame them probably boy see. the reason polls

suggest a quarter of britons say they're ready to leave the e.u. if it means safeguarding their borders from unwanted migrants the deputy leader of the u.k. independence party believes that's the only solution that is critical here is that they can come here from april first not january the first and claim benefits from that and it's a noncontributory system so quite frankly they can come here and they can claim some welfare but over putting into the system the reason why we're having to do it is because of the european union the freedom of movement of peoples is written into the e.u. treaties which are concerns 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 european union and if people want to say it's a protest and if people want to go out and vote against the euro they can do so by voting for the party which wants to leave. twenty or fourteen promises to be an impressive sporting spectacle but one of the challenges is defeating the darkness of midwinter to say it takes

a look at making the olympics light up the eyes of the world will be on sochi come february the seventh and frantic work has been going on behind the scenes to make sure the venue sparkle not just for the crowds but for millions of t.v. viewers. the lighting technicians it's been a mess of undertaking blush media for us this is one of a kind technology and design in the world that isn't even the manufacturers who initially claimed it was similar to some other models that have finally admitted our installations are totally unique in other words this is an experimental model that will set a benchmark for the whole world like this electric cutting lighting was months in the making the olympic committee found the brightest and best engineers who came up with a unique design for every stadium l.e.d. lights was selected for the age or ability they made to last for a century but also for their college changing one factor in for such

a shield such installations are temporary solution for various sports competitions but this one is hopefully going to stay for quite some time it is based on the cutting edge technology and totally new software that the world has yet to a dog. of to dog the park stadium becomes a scene not worrying ice storms and tumbling snow flakes the ice bank sports palace turns into a giant alcool marine wave the atlas skating rina the neon giant which shimmering rainbow colors the first stadium will be hosting the opening and closing ceremonies and the preparations are for the lights sherry's are being kept carefully under wraps but the crowds were of the lighting missions is the ice palace this evening i've been given the honors of switching on of the lights here at the olympic park stadiums with this much fern and it's house of about and let's see what the magic

of technology candy. and what a lot of it's a kaleidoscope of a color that i'm a rod of. live and of course all right here in the sword she between on the black sea and the beautiful white capped mountains. i'm to say coming to you from the olympics in sochi. and on his latest visit to sochi played him or putin reversed a ban on political protests during the winter olympics demonstrators will now be allowed to gather their record during the games but with certain restrictions you can have online to find out more meanwhile if the clock ticks towards the seventh of february will bring you more on what the city has in store for its guests stay with our to meet international. show choose one of the twenty fourteen olympics which this place like the one is so special as the russian resort

prepares to welcome the world power the games should be the city's present to true love sochi will bring you this is the moment they're reporting from a very cold and snowy windy mountainous tokyo beyond the olympics but come. on our team. on ramp any top tech this christmas well if you fired up an i phone not only can the n.s.a. track your new device remotely activate the microphone or camera but it can apparently do so without your or apple's consent that's just one of the revelations to emerge this week of the extent of the national security agency's spying antics it was also reported that the agency bugs computers from the moment they connect to the internet and if any electronic device somehow resist wholesale surveillance there are apparently specialized and that's a teams ready to hack it manually journalist david seaman believes global tech companies should gear up for massive backlash. my understanding of it is that this

is extremely widespread but is not so much the companies cooperating with the n.s.a. as it is the n.s.a. pouring tremendous amounts of money and talent into developing these hacks we're talking about complete orwellian control of innocent people's phones and innocent people's computers and laptops and i think that it undermines basic faith and confidence in american tech companies this is going to lead to a massive loss of revenue technology has the power to lift all of us up to provide more innovation and transparency than ever before in human history and that's the path that the internet was already on you see the explosion in online media and everybody has a voice an opinion in this global society but the n.s.a. has destroyed a lot of that it's undermined basic faith in the internet. well today some of today's international news a three story buildings collapsed in southern india killing at least fourteen

construction workers some fifty people were on site when it caved in and urgency workers are sifting through the rubble for survivors it's not uncommon for buildings to collapse in india where regulations are typically blocks. in iraq to armed radical islamists claim to have ambushed and set fire to non-government founds on a highway to flu just fifty kilometers from baghdad al qaeda linked fighters to control of the city center raising flags over state buildings on saturday government troops terror groups and local tribes are attacking each other in an outburst of violence that has lasted several days but just. four people have been killed in unrest in bangladesh as voting there continues one hundred people have died in clashes in recent weeks and more than one hundred public buildings which are be used as polling stations have been raised opposition candidates are boycotting the general elections leaving many seats uncontested they originally called for the prime minister just stepped out before the vote was held. next we

step on to earth's coldest continent together with a team of researchers. 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. the 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.

summer is coming to an end. the crew of the academic field of is waiting for them. to come for winter everything has to be done quickly if the wind gets any stronger the won't be able to take off and there's no other way of getting people onto the ship from the station they need to hurry winter begins tomorrow. used to be the same with unions because the antarctic research station. now it only works during the summer. in the southern hemisphere some. it's in december and ends in much. so seasonal operations are over.

geological samples are gathered during the summer a loaded into containers. water is drained from the station and windows a boarded up and filled in with. is given even the slightest chance to sneak in it will be impossible to dig it out. or was the last to be shot down no one can survive without heat. takes just a few hours to complete. the station is ready for winter. or will fly people to the.
