the stories that dominated the week on our t.v. volgograd pays its last respects to the victims of two terror attacks while medics labored to save the lives of sixty five others including young children in critical condition. sectarian slaughter in the central african republic proved too much for foreign troops to handle with reports of the beheading of children raising alarms at the u.n. . 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 or process the city. and is e.u. rules relaxed 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 the borders go unheeded. you're watching the weekly this sunday here on our team international with me a nice analogy well grad began the new year stricken by grief as the city mourned the end buried the victims of two bombings during the last days of december thirty four people died in the attacks while twice that number remain in hospital in intensive care this hour we bring you the story of another survivor a nine year old girl who remembers being told to stay away by her rescuer. it was just another day for u.t. and wagner grads a main train station but suddenly and old changed. there was a loud clamp the force of it was so strong that it smashed the windows and 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 d.c. before the new year the blast of the station set off by a suicide bomber reached through a crowded area between the entrance and the security national detectors and. then i noticed a man in a girl's around towards the girl asked her whether she could breathe she was losing consciousness i picked her up and carried out of the station u.-t. 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

an interview would be some time to find an ambulance for the girl. i rushed to the ambulances but they told me they only take grown ups 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 was 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 goes pear and started to look for their daughter's rescuer 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 with. my dinner question our team moscow. well keep you up to date on all those condition as it changes next hour you can hear the story of how a three month old baby survives a tragedy in volgograd now speaking about the attacks russia adolescent here climbers 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 attacks and i think also on friday there was an attack and. 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 attack from what the terrorists think they might game to be able to keep up to date on survivors condition and hospital. rights groups say the situation in the central african republic is out of control amid 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 riyadh finish now lines 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. let's address short for the situation in the central african republic as alarming if not brighter that your parents received a green light from the un security council to use military force to restore order after deadly ethnic runnels 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 and the force that france has no the most of them 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 cruisin president of france is new and to campus party believes there is more to paris's decision to intervene that i was your for 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 because. 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 agree on is that no matter what the intentions are behind france's authorities decision to get involved it's the french people food in the bill that holds. the operation only became needed as there was a failure of diplomacy and politics in the ca 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 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 an act of goodwill or a calculated move to benefit fronts. whereas russian are reporting from paris. well carline who is an emergency manager for doctors without borders says the violence is so bad organization has been forced to withdraw staff. the fight against is just spiraling out of control people are so angry there's a lot of free fence feelings there's a lot of hate feelings that the two communities are really angry and fair full i

mean people are so scared there that even makes them a caress if we had people discriminates in the hospital who came there to attack patients inside the hospital our teams are witnessing that bodies on the streets every day and the shooting is so big that even our clinical to continue in its normal ways we can no longer treat moments rishon 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 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 and is very important i have discovered 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 one of them as i try to get away one of them says now towards me. and. with the clothes this the other 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 strong going to curb this string of violence citizens are seeking alternatives to stay safe. former n.y.p.d. officer rabbi gary moskowitz 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 aware you must learn how to fight if some go through time for the knockout attacks are for him and for him ready to moskowitz believes are likely motivated by gang initiation is something the n.y.p.d. hasn't officially acknowledged if they acknowledge that there's a guy who had a problem is they have to really try to curb all the guns and they can't do that so for three or so a long time they don't want to put a name on something right away because if they put a man one of them they have to go away or through archie 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 police for parm to be able to be assigned to everybody in the shrewd they can protect. us from new york city struve 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 live phones what my concern new owners of the device is that the n.s.a. is celebrating to the spy agency has certainly hacked the i phone down to the bones it could turn any handset into a remote spying tool later in the program we report on what it's doing to our trust in technology. and shedding light on the games we report on the unique illuminations for the winter olympics and the work it took to make sochi shine

that's after a short break. cross talk rules and if it doesn't you can jump in anytime you want.

sigrid laboratory kirby was able to build its most sophisticated robot which on fortunately doesn't give a darn about anything to change mission to teach creation why it should care about humans and. this is why you should care only. since new year's day britain's been braced for a flood but this has nothing to do with the storms battering the country right now the u.k. fears a massive influx of eastern europeans now that the immigration rules are relaxed as polly 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 ian's ambo gary

and that they expected to arrive in britain now that immigration restrictions have been lifted for them that 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 concerns over mass immigration are written all time high what are you currently doing to stop the influx of non skilled workers in from the e.u. and upon into don't we've made absolutely sure that it's not possible for people to come here simply to claim benefits to a putting in place very tough measures in controls for the latest report by the institute of public policy research dismissed these as symbolic gestures saying the

person can cope with roumanian ambo garion migration according to the. public the government merely 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 i'm thinking about it now it's completely absurd it's quite important for politicians to step back and explain that it 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 remain 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 hardworking and will contribute to british society something that economists had happy to back up over be a real believer then says the migration to britain has indeed been

a positive both in terms of cultural and richmond and economic investment have to remember that one point six million britons british nationals are working through the u. and they enjoy the benefits of that so if we start setting up you shouldn't draw benefits from migrants we can expect a quid pro quo despite the politicians tough talk in the tabloid headlines fears of a lot 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 so you can blame them plenty boy they ought see london . a recent poll suggests a quarter of britain 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 it's the only solution. this is critical here is that they can calm here from april of 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 from welfare but our ever putting into the system that the reason why we're having to do it is because of the european union the freedom of movement of people those written into 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 olympian union and if people want to see a protest and if people want to go out there and vote against the you can do show by voting for the party which wants to leave. thirty twenty fourteen promises to be an impressive sporting spectacle but one of the challenges is defeating the darkness of major winter bank must say it takes a look at making the olympics right 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 lifting venue sparkle not just for the crowds but for millions of t.v.

viewers around the world for the lighting technicians it's been a mess of undertaking lush 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 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 footage or ability they made to last for a century but also put a college changing wall factor in for certain 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. off 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 aquamarine 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 light sherry's are being kept carefully under wraps but the crowd work 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 smartphone and it's has to have a button let's see what the magic of technology candy. and what a lot of the fellow does. live and of course we're right here in the snow and she between and the black sea and

the beautiful white capped mountains and to almost say coming from the olympics in sochi. human rights groups concerns were somewhat ease perhaps this week after rules on protests during the games were relaxed during a trip to sochi president putin said that controlled political gatherings will be ok i don't mind to find out more meanwhile as the clock ticks towards the seventh of february we'll bring you more on what the city has in store for its get stay with our team international. search for the twenty fourteen olympics what's this place like. this is so special as the russian resort prepares to welcome the world power the games should be the city's present and future. sochi will bring you this is the moment they're reporting from a very cold and snowy windy mountainous stuff here beyond the olympics

what to see. on our team. on rap any top tech this christmas well if you're fired up and i phone not only can the n.s.a. track your new device remotely activate the microphone or a 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 resists wholesale surveillance there are specialized n.s.a. teams ready to hack it manually journalist david seaman believes global tech company should gear up for a 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 that 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 in opinion in this global society but the n.s.a. has destroyed a lot of that it's undermined basic faith in the internet the russian fishing trawler has been seized by senegal's navy off the coast of the tiny west african nation of guinea bissau how the official reason is over unlicensed fishing but the crew disputes this one person was reportedly injured when the vessel was boarded sixty two russians and twenty three residents of guinea bissau were reported on board when it was escorted to the coast the fishing boat is now docked in senegal's

capital dakar all groups all crew i should say and passengers have had their passports confiscated. to look at some of. the news a three story building has collapsed in southern india killing at least fourteen construction workers some fifteen fifty people were on site when it caved in emergency workers are sifting through rubble for survivors it's not uncommon for buildings to collapse in india where regulations are typically locked. in iraq armed radical islamists claimed to have ambushed and set fire to nine government vans on the highway to full lucia just fifty kilometers from baghdad to link fighters took control of the city center and saturday government troops terror groups and local tribes are attacking each other in an outburst of violence that has lasted several days the u.s. has said it will lend support to iraq to fight islam is but will not good boots back on the ground. postures between police and opposition activists have

left six people dead in bangladesh as voting there continues one hundred people have been killed in violence in recent weeks and more than one hundred public buildings which are being used as polling stations have been torched opposition candidates are boycotting the general elections leaving many seats uncontested originally called for the prime minister to step down before the vote was held. next though like the lights go out as artsy travels to an island in the frigid arctic circle. i'm middle school kind of guy i like tradition and heritage and all that stuff when i look to the past i see that there's a lot that we could learn from our ancestors however one thing we don't need from

them are debtors prisons which according to a fox news report are somehow on the rise in the united states in the twenty first century the a.c.l.u. and the british center for justice claim that the local courts have been sending individuals with unpaid fines and fees jail which the courts may not even realize is illegal these courts are locking up people with fines that have exploded in size due to interest imposed on the initial amount and for the representation they had when they were in court which i always thought was supposed to be free but worst of all some are still in prison for fees they occurred while being in prison like having the audacity to use toilet paper hey that's taxpayer money down the toilet the kicker to this all is that throwing people in prison for their public debts costs more than the debts the prisoners have to pay off that's right the local governments lose money doing this someone please resurrect the founding fathers america is running out of time if you aren't worried about this comeback of debtors' prisons are you think those rednecks deserve it so let me ask you

something how's it going with paying off all your loans and bills i hope for your sake you don't miss a payment but fashion just my opinion. spitzbergen is the starting point for expeditions to the north pole a little over a thousand kilometers away. is next to no sunlight each day was a little light remains continues to do. in just ten days the sun will stop rising above the horizon altogether. along ought to know it will begin.

like it is on the mainland in the middle of the night. it's just. the locals say there are three four seasons here day night and snowmobile season. people on the island because of the harsh environment but a very small few have chosen to live here. yes. just. be careful.
