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 a large between sweetly saudi arabian 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 they reach closer cooperation we saw that with the boston bombings didn't we when we had the russian warnings about the south sarina brothers were ignored by the americans because their game there was a 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 product 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 rightly 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 russian other hand carrying out this cold war propaganda against russia has to be

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 francs soldiers were sent to the violence torn country to join the six hundred already deployed there on the force 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 to capitalist party believes there is more to paris's decision to intervene. 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. france and other european countries are threatened by islamic radical and terrorist groups that are now decentralized and developed in the belt from the murshid 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 it quickly 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 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 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 are reporting from paris. or to get some more a feel for what's happening on the ground there was protocol enclosures emergency manager with doctors without borders this is what she had to say about what's happening. 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

the city's present and future what more sochi will bring you this is the moment they're reporting from a very cold and snowy windy mountainous tough year beyond the olympics but. on our team. next a strange and very brutal game if you can call it that is spreading across the u.s. players choose a victim on the street with the only aim to not them on conscious with a single punch police recently indeed rest of the man suspected of at least five such attacks at his report following this disturbing trend. 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

a 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 a 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 a cloth is hit me in 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 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 go through time where the knockout attacks are for him and for him ready to moskowitz believes are likely motivated by gang initiation something the young wife. he hasn't officially acknowledged if they have knowledge of this the guy who had a problem is they have to really try to curb all the gangs 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 name one of them they have to go after 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 department to be able to be assigned to everybody in the shrewd they can protect miles and miles of 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 port ny r.t. new york. just about i was told the elf on the next news bill was in full with me kevin when he went out international break not so after that then we go and more exploration this time with a crew of russian sailors and their mission to take care wrap up warm enjoy it since.

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 britain 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 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 that's just my opinion.
