was a loud clamp the force of it was so strong that it smashed the windows in 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 just east before the new year the blast of the station set off by a suicide bomber reached riyadh crowded area between the entrance and the security national detectors. then i noticed a man in a girl's around towards the girl who 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 do is go. 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

to be released 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 dr c. 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 faded all disappear 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 that 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 there is the we will meet again definitely i will wait for her recovery and we'll keep in touch with their. mind in the pushcart to moscow. of course we'll be keeping up to date in all those conditions as it changes hopefully for the better and speaking about the attacks guardian newspaper contributor neil clark insisted the global powers must unite against terrorism if they want to eliminate it the west has got to i think change its relationship saudi arabia which is a major sponsor of a lot of these radical islamic groups around the world the west has got to realise 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 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 should look at the boston bombings and we went we had the russian warnings about the south sorry no 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 the pressure that met that 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 so going to work with russian the other hand carrying out this cold war propaganda against russia has to be sure this will happen. you know get more perspective on the universal anti terror and updates on the investigation into the volgograd bombings by heading to our website

r.t. dot com next to the reporting then on the youngest victim of the attack three month old vic here we're tracking her progress she lost her mother and grandmother in the blast she still fighting for her life we've got the latest. hospitals are under fire in the central african republic as violence in the country reached a crisis point this 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 also warning of an imminent humanitarian catastrophe with disease rampant among more than a million displaced people half of whom face starvation now french military contingents been battling militants there because so far failed to bring any security to the country as artie's mayor for national reports next. 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 paris received a green light from the un security council to use military force to restore order after the 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 other motive than to save human lives and months later and lives are still being lost on all sides prices 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 let alone christine president of france is new and capitalist party believes there is more to paris his decision to intervene that i was your fourth france used to create a list of human rights and in fact it was aimed at protecting its economic interests the scenario 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 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 fault in the bill that was. 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 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 that more than a thousand french soldiers are now essential 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 artsy reporting from paris. we spoke earlier to cullen clashes emergency manager with doctors without borders this is what she had to say on the situation on the ground 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 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. the hospitals 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 of the spittle so yes we see a big problem inside the hospitals are our biggest concern is the situation inside the hospitals but also it's 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 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 bush years people are more nurse they have access to accessing health care 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 calling from doctors without borders speaking to. coming up as the iraqi army proposed to rout islam is from the city of fallujah to go expert opinion coming up live upon you know what's behind the turmoil in the devastated state this is international. this is the media leave us so we leave the media. by the same bush to secure. your party physical. issues that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from. politic only of our team.

do we speak your language of the will or not at the end. we'll use programs and documentaries and spanish what matters to you breaking news a little tonnage of angles stories. here. the spanish find out more visit i to allahabad. hello again british problem is david cameron will lead push for a company immigrants from europe as he proposed to renegotiate the u.k.'s relationship with brussels that many in the country fear of massive influx of

eastern europeans now that immigration rules have been relaxed the two of the blocks poorest nations bulgaria and romania has told the state wolf you can't please join me now live from on the other save face pay with us what do you make of the prime minister's position is it the best course for britain to thank. well it certainly would be a good course if if he could achieve it kevin unfortunately he's desperately struggling to find a political solution to the problems of immigration where he is losing in the polls and he is now seeing the labor party's leader also beginning to try and find solutions to the problem of immigration we've had mass open door immigration in the united kingdom over the past decade it's had problems on schools hospitals infrastructure and pushing down wages in the country that is why he is struggling and he can't find a solution so you keep got the solution as it well of course the only clear solution is to get your control of your borders back in order to do that you have to leave the european union if he wants to make the changes that he suggested he

has to actually get treaty changes and agreement from other countries and they've already had the european commission in the form of perasso is that that won't happen oh well what are the people of britain want generally taking that into account i mean only today nigel farage followed a bit of a pit didn't your national t.v. in britain it was agreed with the statement read out to be intimating you did you this people quote could become a stranger in their own country but have a slip we didn't realise that was for me not polls or controversial rivers of blood speech agreeing with statements like that all more generally the the biggest speech is going to alienate some your supporters isn't it. i don't think it's going to alienate supporters what it will do is give those people who oppose you can oppose our policies the opportunity to have a go ourselves but actually in the same way that. gordon brown named one of his own members a bigot it's the because politicians are not listening to people in the streets of or into places around the country go to lincolnshire for example they are telling

viewers that they have difficulties in their community because it's changed now that's not being racist is actually being realistic and listening to those people all that we suggesting you keep is that anyone who comes to this country has to be able to afford to work here pay taxes and contribute to this country but we have to have a sensible immigration policy which brings the best in and ensures that they stay here and pay for the future of this country in the same way that indigenous people do and if brussels going to agree to that do you think oh absolutely not i mean i think we've seen this time and time again that many people in europe and particularly in the conservative party in this case this morning the prime minister has tried to suggest that they can make these treaty changes on a variety of issues so the commissioners and the presidents there have made it absolutely clear the project of the european union must move forward cannot change and there will be no negotiation on this issue or it stephen will from you give thanks for your thoughts there for the much appreciated. my pleasure. just

car roadside bombs ripped through commercial areas in iraq's capital baghdad has killed at least twenty people the army's but the linked fighters of the city of the insurgents to control there on friday and declared an islamic state let's go live to our several mukhtar as president of the u.k.'s arab lawyers association southern evening tear managed to take control of a city with a population of three hundred thousand people it appears reasonably easily what does it say about the state of security in the country it's actually disturbing how this information come percolate through the main media system because what's happening in. providence is that the people who have risen against maliki for the last year have suddenly now or have become accused of being al qaeda being and not being the be all those people which is and maliki is now sending troops to five people under the pretext that they are all he's fighting and he's

getting support from the u.s. and indeed even from russia which is which is crazy to believe that maliki now at the same time applying the same policy which part of us have used buying some people in anbar and the satellite people and calling them the supporters of the regime when in fact the tribes the all the time and the army have been at. each end. at loggerheads with each other for the whole year and now suddenly they've become the supporters of the army you have parliamentarians have resigned ministers have to resign political leaders that allow you like looked at the center as saying this is this must stop this is this is crazy that now the revolution or the uprising in iran is being accused of being a sign of being. to fulfill the election campaign on maliki lives surgeons have been urging the population to join the fight against the go. baghdad

how strong is support among the people for that well certainly but that the group of the glow that he has over the security in baghdad is very tight on the people nevertheless he hasn't been able to stop the terrorist acts which has been taking the lives of the civilians in baghdad he is now accusing the tide there which is somewhere else that being the one who is causing it he is the government is totally incapable of controlling even by that itself except that the people there are being put and very tight slot because the government is allowing people to go out and beating anybody who comes out in the street or even raising their voices this is really a tragedy but the problem is not there the problem is that the governments of the world and the international media seems to swallow this idea that somehow what is happening is that this is a fight against al qaeda when in fact it isn't this is

a dictatorship of maliki he hasn't even got a government there the parliaments have resigned ministers have resigned until now he doesn't even have their. cabinet he doesn't have a minister of interior he doesn't have a minister of defense the tribal leaders of the shia in the south are calling on the government to stop this killing and yet it's being portrayed in the media that the tribes and the army are fighting al qaeda which is really what he said is imminent or so hearing that is coming soon a major blow to sort of the city who's fighting who that is you see it well and the present moment certainly there the army is going to attack the city that have already been using weapons on my v.a. and fredricka for the last ten days in addition to that you have some of the people who are from america's troops whether they're out of from the as our went out from the iranians or whether they are. some of his troops who are dressed up in

a dress and they are being taken as if they are the tribes are there out of the sound of the tiger but at the same town there is certainly. people within the cities are fighting each other because maliki has been buying some of those leaders and those leaders are being portrayed as if they are supporting the government against the others who are be get used to being updated so that really it is the fight is at the present moment is between the maliki on the one side the people on the other side and there are various pockets of fights between those who have been votes from the people from. the from the from the tribes and the people are whether it's the city of ramadi of an increasingly complicated picture as you say. several look to president of the u.k. lawyers association on the line. or right this round off with

a complete change of tone and pace will talk about the winter olympics in sochi they're aiming to quite literally out shine or previous events with unique illuminations in place for the games not say that explores a little more of what the olympic city has got to offer. 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 because of 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 cocktail 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 for the age or ability they made to last for a century but also for their college changing wall factor in for such a short film 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 but 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 a million giant was shimmering rainbow colors the first stadium will be hosting the opening and closing ceremonies and the preparations are for the lights sherry's are being kept carefully under wraps but the crowd work of the life mission is the ice

palace this evening i've been given. on of the lights here at the olympic park stadiums with this smartphone and it's hotter than black and let's see what the magic of technology candy. and what a lot of the colliders gave the following the wrong odds of sports men's lives and of course i'm right here in the snow and she between on the black sea and the beautiful white capped mountains and to vomit they coming to you from the olympic park. and of course a lady saving all that electric juice as well as my mother would say now some more news from sochi to also hearing a special zones to be set up in sochi where people can protest if they want to but came about after president putin signed them or the overall halls last year ban on rallies in the things here if you wanted to if you don't common leader more about

that's a big development this week and of course stay with out international as you bring you much more from sochi in the run up to those big winter games. thanks very were some extra marty would travel to antarctica to be russian explorers to learn what it's like to live work on the frozen continent i'm kevin zero in but with more news just over half an hour from now. yes.

recently the federal reserve system celebrated its one hundredth birthday you know that big con game that just a few years ago no one seemed to know about has been in place for one hundred years so let's celebrate the federal reserve by remembering all their accomplishments since nine hundred thirteen firstly they've managed to take the printing of money out of the hands of the u.s. government and thus out of the hands of us voters i what it comes to money who needs to mock received representation anyways they also managed to whittle away the dollars tagging the gold until nixon finally said forget gold let's print our way out of vietnam because there's no link between the dollar and gold the purchasing power of the dollar has reduced by at least twenty three times since the fed came into being lovely but what about the next hundred years well if the recent rounds

of quantitative easing are any sign of things to come then we're going to be seeing a lot more inflation and big private bankers getting richer while we all get poorer bad people generally don't survive one hundred years but bad systems sadly can go on and on and on forever but that's just my opinion. summer is coming to an end at antarctica the crew of the academic field of is waiting for the research station to pack up for winter everything has to be done quickly if the wind gets any stronger the helicopter won't be able to take off and

there's no other way of getting people onto the ship from the station they need to hurry winter begins tomorrow. night used to be the soviet union's biggest antarctic research station. now it only works during the summer. in the southern hemisphere someone starts in december and ends in much it's now april so seasonal operations are over. geological samples are gathered during the summer a loaded into containers. cold water is drained from the station and windows are boarded up and filled in with insulation fun if the snow is given even the slightest.
