a very talented creative girl it's very sad when people die in such sudden violent acts like this she had big plans like any young mother i believe that her baby will grow up will leave we will be helping her because mother and grandmother i'm a star zia and tatyana are just two of the thirty four people who fell victim to two terror attacks on the railway station and trolley bus more than sixty injured are still in hospital the city remains in mourning in moscow margaret hello arty of course became have today don't think his condition as it changes hopefully gets better speaking about the attacks guardian newspaper contributor neil clark insisted the global powers must now unite against terrorism if they want to eliminate it. the west has got to i think change its relationship with saudi arabia which is a major sponsor of a lot of these radical islamic groups around the world the west has got to realign its foreign policy the trouble is if you look at syria for example the west is

actually on the same side as a terrorist because it's because of its relationships with large between sweetly saudi arabia and israel who both want that region and 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 there is closer cooperation we saw at the boston bombings in we when we had the russian warnings about the south sarina brothers were ignored by the americans because their game there was this tendency so it's russian warnings taken with a pinch of 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 netbacks the major shift that's got to happen and it's ok to have nato ships coming out today quite right and again this attack but i'm 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. you know

clark there you get more perspective on the universe london terror if it's an update on the investigation into the vocal group bombings by having on her web site as well r.t. dot com. coming up next here on our t.v. we're bringing you the touching story of a nother young survivor of the attack as well nine year old olga will be talking about their life was saved by a stranger. or spittles under fire in the central african republic is violence in the country's reached crisis point this last week if the international medical group doctors without borders was forced to cut its aid to the country's largest refugee camp the u.n. is now also warning of an imminent humanitarian catastrophe to disease rampant among more than a million displaced people there after whom face starvation french military contingents been battling militants there so far has failed to bring any secure to the country as artie's maria financial reports. 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 is alarming if not frightening that your paris 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 french soldiers were sent to the violence torn country to join the six hundred already deployed there and the force that france has no or 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 krueger been president of france is new and capitalist party believes there is more to paris's decision to intervene that i was your for france used the pretext of human rights and 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 country 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. 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 authority's 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 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 major expedition to africa pushed forward by france's least popular president in power in history well more than a thousand french soldiers are now 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 seeing reporting from paris. or they get more information from the grammys protocol in clashes in emergency manager with doctors without borders this is what she had to say about the situation there. 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 bad that even our clinic cannot continue in its normal ways we can no longer treat monitor we have still one or two doctors in the camp just to take care of the heavily injured people but it's almost impulse. to continue its work at this moment is that 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 was finance our biggest concern is the situation inside the hospitals but also his 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 bush years now i've met them i face them in the bushes and people are

more nurse they have problems accessing food 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. from clear the borders ok completely different coming up with the holiday season underway. but as the famous saying goes what you wish for later the report of how the national security agency infiltrates. and other gizmos irrevocably changing people's attitudes the. technology interesting story coming up also to what's this about the disturbing new trend in the u.s. these teenagers punching people just. trying to protect themselves from a sudden the time. the
