receiving treatment for those entries to her skull and her lungs she received in that blast. the family and friends little vico has left are torn between hope for her miraculous recovery and grief for their dad. did work you'd be very grateful to everyone who took part in the rescue of my girl to volgograd hospital doctors they performed the miracle return my daughter from the dead. thanks to all who haue transfer my daughter to moscow i hope my wife is safe now what kind of human being could see a newborn child on the bus and still carry out such an atrocity but now it's time to think of rehabilitation of so that she can leave a full life but there is a dynasty of doctors in our family and i hope she will grow up and become a doctor to last him i knew her mother since she was a child she was a very talented creative girl it's very sad when people die in such sudden violent

saudi arabia and israel who both want that regime in syria to be removed so i think we need a shift in the western capitals i think we need to get to work closer with russia because when they reach closer cooperation we should look at the boston bombings didn't we when we had the russian warnings about the south sorry no problems were ignored by the americans because their game there was a tendency so it's russian warnings taken with peter so and so unless the west just work cooperate more seriously with russia as equal partners in this battle against the radical terrorist groups you know that's the product that backs the major shift that's got to happen and it's ok to have nato she's coming out very 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 say we're going to work with russia number one carrying out this cold war propaganda against russia to be sure this will. get more perspective on universal and on terror adverts and updates on the

investigation into the mold of brad bombings by heading to our web site r.t. . meanwhile next hour here in our international reporting on another young victim of the attack on nine year old balled up and the touching story of her rescue. hospitals under fire in the central african republic as the violence in the country reached a crisis point to sweep. even the international medical group doctors without borders was forced to cut its aid to the country's largest refugee camp they want is now also warning of an imminent humanitarian catastrophe was disease rampant among more than a million displaced people have a home face starvation a french military contingent has been battling militants there but has so far failed to bring any security to the country and that is where if a national reports. less than a year after french moods marched into mali france again is fighting in another of

its former colonies in africa. that's a church or 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 to restore order after deadly ethnic russians in the country escalated. i have decided to act immediately or more precisely this very evening this is 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 where 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 fourth

france form a 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 president of france is new and to campus a lisp. artie believes there is more to perry says decision to intervene with your four 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 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 this city are a failure of the u.n. the african union economic community of central african states and the you but who pays for this pricey campaign french taxpayers. surveys show less than half of the

french population supposed the country's latest major expedition to africa pushed forward by france's least popular president in pollin history they are lower 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. revulsion at sea reporting from paris. and we spoke to carlin clare an emergency manager with 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 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 bad that even our clinic cannot continue in its normal ways we can no longer treatment 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 is that the hospitals in bangor 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 the hospital so yes we see oh it's a big problem inside the hospitals reese finance 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 are too scared to go to hospitals outside of bondi our estimation is that more than six hundred thousand people are living in the bush years now i've met them i fisted them in the bushes
