a victim she lost her mother in the blast but thankfully she's still hanging on to life as self. the guy is just three months old but she's found that life can be hard and unjust she was badly injured and a terrible terror attack she is now in an induced coma in intensive care clinging on to life what we give you as a baby girl remains and a coma we put her on a ventilator in intensive care also she sustained some light yet serious brain damage condition is very serious but we've got it under control on that dreadful morning of december thirtieth biko caught a fever and was on route to a hospital with her mother and grandmother when a powerful explosion rocked their trolley bus the three happened to be in the very epicenter the women died the infant survived it was blind luck the thick blanket she was wrapped in saved her from life threatening burns she was pulled from the

wreckage in a critical condition only two days ago doctors allowed her to be airlifted to moscow's children's hospital so it's here in this hospital where baby bekah is receiving treatment for those endurance 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 working 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 how to transfer my daughter to moscow i hope her life 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 too last year mind you 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 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 on a stasia 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 of the keeping of today don't think his condition as it changes when speaking about the attacks guardian newspaper contributor neil clark spoke to c.n.n. says the global powers must 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 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 there is closer cooperation we saw that with 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 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 pressure 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 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 that's the picture this will happen

there. you get more perspective on universal anti terror if it's an update on the investigation too into the vocal grab by heading to a website l.t. dot com. next well here on r t will be bringing you the touching story of another young survivor of the tac this time nine year old olga whose life was saved by a stranger. hospitals are under fire in the central african republic as violence in the country's reached a crisis point this last week even 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 warning to of an imminent humanitarian catastrophe with disease rampant among more than a million displaced people half of whom face starvation a french military contingents been battling militants there but has so far failed to bring any security the country is artist maria fanaa 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 as alarming if not frightening that your paris received a green light from the un security council to use military force to restore old 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 violent storm country to join the six hundred already deployed there and the force that france was 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 made bold 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 christine president of france is new and capitalist party believes there is more to paris his decision to intervene that i was your fourth fifth france used to create a list 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 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 teenie 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 holds. the operation only became needed as there was a failure of diplomacy and politics in the c.a.r. a failure of the un the african union economic community of central african states and the you know who pays for this pricey campaign all 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 by 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. where russian are seeing reporting from paris . he spoke to colleen clare she's emergency manager with doctors without borders this is what she had sober the situation on the ground herself. we see more than six hundred thousand people displaced off alone two hundred thousand in the capital and defiance 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 treatments ration 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 last bottles in bangor but also in the rest of the central african republic are 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 a big problem inside the hospitals are 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 bangui our estimation is that more than six hundred thousand people are living in the bush years now i've met them i faced them in the bushes and people are more

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 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. karo cyborgs of ripped through commercial areas in iraq's capital baghdad it's killed at least twenty schools more injured that is after radical islamists reportedly ambushed and set fire to nine government vehicles on the road to fallujah big problems there right now the army's continuing to battle al qaeda linked fighters in the city after insurgents took control of friday. over thirty thousand african asylum seekers

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 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 tried to get away one of them stepped out towards me and. with the close is 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
