detectors and. then i noticed a man in a girl's around towards the girl asked her whether she could breathe she was losing consciousness i picked her up and carried out of the station you'd be 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. 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 and it took you at least some time to find an ambulance for the girl. i rushed to the ambulances but they told me the only take grownups and that i have to wait for the children's emergency to arrive and 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 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 fade it all goes pear 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 out of the train station after the 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 that. we will meet again definitely i will wait for her recovery and we'll keep in touch so.

much in the bush there are eighteen moscow. and next hour here on our two we're reporting on the struggle to save the youngest survivor of the volgograd blast a three month old whose family is torn between hope for her recovery and grief the loss of her mother. to trustees involve a grad came in just over a month before the winter olympics in sochi sparking speculation that they could be linked to the games volgograd and saatchi are in the same broad geographic region but around six hundred fifty kilometers separate the two cities the international olympic committee has had its confident russia will deliver a safe and secure games and tighter security has been ordered across the country in the wake of the bombings r.t. has been getting reaction from around the world to the events in volgograd most experts we talked to seem to agree that no countries can ever go it alone when it comes to counter terrorism. we're talking about asian harvestable which is

a car that is. just in russia but also in other countries including in syria as we know now now the direct mode is not different from the previous attacks on moscow on other locations inside russia and i would say it is not so different from attacks that has happened around the world. in seventy two and the olympics in germany any sporting event of a major is bound to attract terrorist activity there isn't doesn't lie on the phone and it relies on the fear of the sky. clear that even though volgograd is some four hundred miles away from the site of the winter olympics it is the transport hub for that part of russia and whatever the media impact on the russian public and not just the russian public but those traveling to the games next year it requires an international response because. many cars in the world are threatened by this there is the danger that when terrorism occurs in russia it's kind of dismissed or it's

kind of regarded as not really the same thing so i think there's a double standard here we've got to take these terrible terrorist attacks in russia very serious as seriously as we take these attacks in new york or london and until that happens until the west does take this seriously i'm afraid that we're not going to get the action needed internationally to stop these attacks taking place in the future. at our website we've got a timeline of the tragic events involving grab as well as the investigators latest findings. hospitals have come under fire in the central african republic over the past week as the violence reached crisis point the international charity doctors without borders has been forced to scale back its work in the nation's largest refugee camp the u.n. is now also warning of an imminent humanitarian crisis with disease rampant among more than a million displaced people half of whom face starvation and french military contingent has been battling militants there but so far failed to bring any security to the country as are to or if a national explains. 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 sure 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 runs in the country escalated. i have decided to act in. or more precisely this very evening eight hundred french soldiers were sent to the violence torn country to join the six hundred already deployed there. a force that france has no other modes of 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 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 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 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 particularly strongly that 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 united. but with both critics and advocates of the french military operation in the central african republic it clearly agree on is that no matter what the intentions are behind france's authorities decision to get moved it's the french people footing the bill that calls. 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 know who

pays for this pricey campaign french taxpayers. surveys show less than half of the french population supposed to countries latest nature expedition to africa pushed forward by france's least popular president in poland history well 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. we spoke to carling player an emergency manager with doctors without borders here's what she had to say about the situation. we see more than six hundred thousand people displaced olf 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 ition 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 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 the hospital so yes we see oh it's a big problem inside the hospitals just 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 bonn the our estimation is that more than six hundred thousand

uniforms eliminate a big distraction in the classroom and break up the caste systems that can evolve at school between the cool fashionable kids and the ones who can barely afford lunch like me in my younger years but teenagers will scream uniforms crush their freedom of expression and that they have a right to express who they are their individuality who has the right to dictate to them what to wear the thing they don't realize is that if the school doesn't tell them what to wear that big corporations and m.t.v. will all the cool individuals who dress alike and blindly follow all the trends are just obeying corporate marketing instead of their parents yeah for some reason it is bad if the school punishes you for dressing improperly but if the cool kids make your life a living hell for not wearing the right brand of shoes well that's all well and good for some reason hey look at this way school uniforms are cheap which leaves more money for parents to buy you video games being individual in your actions and not a fake individual in trendy clothes but that's just my opinion. summer
