a suicide bomber. 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 onto life what a good year as a baby girl remains and a kind that we put her on a ventilator in intensive care also she sustained some light yet serious brain damage condition is very serious we've got it under control on that dreadful morning of december thirtieth caught a fever and was on route to a hospital with her mother and grandmother when a powerful explosion and 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 andrea's or her skull and her lungs she received in that blast. the family and friends little bekah has left are torn between hope her home regulus 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 how to 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 all family and i hope she will grow up and become a doctor to place your mind you know 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 other mother i believe that her baby will believe there will be help in her. because mother and grandmother other stars here and talk to yana 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 a course of the keep me up to date on because progress to speaking about the attacks guardian newspaper contributor neil clark spoke to us he says global powers need to 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 west has got to realize 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 bombing simply when we had the russian warnings about the south sorry no brothers were ignored by the americans because their game there was this tendency so it's russian warnings to take them 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 ships coming out today quite rightly to get this attack but are less there is this different 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 that's the big should this will happen there. do you get more perspective on anti terror threats and updates

on the investigation into the volgograd bombings by adding to our website r t v dot com next just like you know here are the we're bringing you the touching story of another young survivor of the attack this time nine year old olga and her life was saved by a stranger. hospitals are under fire of the central african republic again as violence in the country's reached crisis point this week even the international medical group now doctors without borders has said it was forced to cut aid to the country's largest refugee camp the u.s. also warning of an imminent humanitarian catastrophe too with disease rampant among more than a million displaced people half of whom face starvation a french military contingents been battling militants there but so far has failed to bring any security to the country as artie's real phenomena 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 your thought the situation in the

central african republic is alarming if not greater that your parents received a green light from the un security council to use military force to restore order after deadly ethnic runs in the country escalated. that feels i have decided to act immediately or more precisely this very evening this was eight hundred francs soldiers was sent to the violence torn country to join the six hundred already deployed there on the force that france has no where the most of them to save human lives and months later and blinds 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 creepin president of france is new and capitalist party believes there is more to paris's decision to intervene that i was your fourth 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 ga 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 the country's latest

new to exploitation to africa pushed forward by france's least procurer president in poland history where more 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 whereas russian artsy reporting from paris. was protocol in clear emergency doctor with doctors without borders this is what she had to say about the situation on the ground there. we see more than six hundred thousand people displaced olf 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 treat monitoring 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 it's at this moment that the hospitals in bangor but also in the rest of the central african republic are are in feted by armed men we had people discriminates in the hospital who came there to a dead patients inside of most brutal so yes we see you it's a big problem inside the hospitals was fine and our biggest concern is the situation inside the hospitals but also it's people not have being able to access medical care because they're too scared to go to help post and to 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 fished at them in the blue shoes that people are more nervous they have goldfish. accessing health care and you can just see that people are living in extremely poor conditions

they're literally living in the bush this had their close which are more or less wrecks and some people live already since april last year in the bush. calling claire there from doctors without borders coming up with a holiday sale season on the way fancy tech gadgets top many a wish list but as the famous saying goes because what you wish for later this reporting on how the national security agency infiltrates smart phones laptops other kids most to a revocable even changed people's attitude towards technology. what you see here is a disturbing new trend apparently in the u.s. it's just punching people just for fun up ahead reporting on how frightened citizens are trying to protect themselves. from.
