this is unseen to national coming to you live from moscow hello and welcome to the program russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov has demanded doctors bear loud access to russian pilot who is being held in a u.s. jail constantine says he has been denied urgent medical attention despite complaining of symptoms suggesting he has a problem with his heart sergey lavrov says he has expressed deep concern directly to his to his opposite number in the us secretary of state. well. nobody has confirmed that you are showing is experiencing problems with his health although there's any problem with access to medical treatment moreover it was claimed that he had not requested any medical help or tool that is not true constantine requested medical assistance a number of times for the workout on the spot you've got us all so moscow is waiting to hear from washington about whether diplomats and doctors will be allowed

access to their former pilot here shanika is a lawyer was able to meet with his client over the weekend and he's going to check out a small. it's been days that the russian citizen in a us jail is asking to examine his heart because he says he is experiencing severe chest pain and may have a heart attack any moment the attorney had a chance to see his client on sunday and we spoke with him earlier here's what he said your xango did appear sick to me his face was red hugh visibly had shortness of breath he would take pauses in our conversation compose himself he was having difficulty remembering the dates and the chronology of the different events that took place this week shortness of breath a burning sensation in the chest high blood pressure these symptoms are indicative of a soon to happen heart attack prison authorities do not comment on the health of their inmates so we have silence on that side of the story at this point it's not clear

what kind of care will receive at the hospital on monday but his wife told us about the treatment that he had received so far on purple. about a month ago who had a high fever and couldn't get up for days almost nobody looked after him he was physically unable to walk across the prison to the medical block where he would have queued for our ways because of his constant comforting he was keeping his cell mates awake and they were becoming hostile to him constantly used to be hard to man but his problems started after his detention in africa when he was beaten severely for three days by the people who detained him. earlier this week we saw was diplomatic out choir from the russian foreign ministry which in a facebook post has urged washington to quote do something because the russian come may die any moment the washing pilot was captured in two thousand and ten in liberia and shipped into the west where he was accused of drug trafficking and sentenced to twenty years in jail as far as is swift transfer of russian officials

saw it as more of a smuggling than an extradition and now moscow urges the u.s. to observe the men's rights. you know shanker has been promised he can have an ultrasound on monday but no quality examination will take place you can follow the story of the former russian pilot on our website. with a week to go germany means the medal table at the winter games in sochi but that could all still change with seven sets of medals available on monday alone and so now is following the olympics from. prattles for gold and silver resulting in a real spectacle here in sochi with the medals table changing fast as for russia's prospects it's currently fifth in the overall count but there are still high expectations for the ice hockey team because last night the red machine gave the

home fans reason to celebrate russia beat slovakia in a qualifying match following the bitter defeat suffered against team usa on saturday the jury was hard for though it needed a tense shootout to split the sides with neither managing to score in open play russia squeeze through one to nothing and now faces a must win match against norway monday in sochi we've got a day of bobsled biathlon in freestyle skiing among others. former reports from the mountain cluster we should be following the clouds as well. the first thing we should be following is the weather because things have closed in the bit here across not be on or not house disposed of the second time in a row of the men's biathlon match starts in the fifteen k. that was due to take place this morning but we'll have to keep you posted on what these next me more i am pleased to say he's an effect in the bulbs to man to me doing very well imagine alexy who border on alexander to call for lead the way at

the halfway stage the two final runs are today and when we caught up with them they told. what was needed to go so i think the critical juncture will be at the start line if one team is far ahead of the others it will be very difficult to catch up with them but we are prepared for such a scenario and number one objective is to be stronger at the start next the piloting skills cricket you need to see where you can outmaneuver your rivals you have to do for perfectly successful runs in a row to overcome your opponents well they've done to you let's hope they can do two more meanwhile for the jamaican bobsled team incidentally who are making their first appearance in just over a decade in that event last although they did receive the second biggest cheer of the night after the russians now all eyes are on russian figure skaters again this time in the ice dance a leaky customers are currently third in the freedoms to come and when we spoke to them just before these games started they told us what they thought was necessary

to succeed. i think is going to be there. the most important thing before the olympics because there's so much topic talking so much people to help or who don't want to help and you need to just do your work work and do what you want. to listen to other people like so many people just listen for your team like you're preparing and they know what. i hope is going to work. they stay focused because it certainly seems to be working at the moment i do love ice dancing it is a bit like a ballroom dancing on ice they say it is never a p.c. to watch but rest assured i'm sure the russians will be busting a gut inside to try and catch the canadians virtue and moir and the americans davis and white you currently lead the charge to go to one of the most inspiring stories from the sochi olympics is that of canadian athlete danny morrison who has won bronze and silver despite having suffered serious injury speed skater broke his leg

while skiing barely a year ago putting his olympic dreams in doubt morrison felt to make the cut. the one thousand meter distance by fellow speed skater gilmore jr offered him a spot in the race and he ended up taking silver that was closely followed by bronze in the fifteen hundred long track distance we asked the victorious canadian what drives him. i don't know i think for me the secrets been. not caring as much not trying to control things that are completely control and i try to control things that are not even important things that are superstitions just focusing on the task. the process solution of the process of being the most southern host city in winter olympic history so she's warm temperatures offers an additional challenge to athletes we've seen complaints of the slopes being too slushy today a couple of events cancelled but on the bright side sochi is cast have had

a chance to enjoy the unique surroundings as artie's martin enters the point known as the russian riviera sochi is not your typical russian city which is sort she's docked to be dozens of rivers streams and want to force across its boss countryside but not on a more impressive than this scary so it's out with the olympics and even with the spectacular fireworks and for a ninety minute journey from the olympic park highlights the diversity of this region ok it's not my grass or a grassy but it really is very pretty here and quite relaxing ranging from one to twelve metres there are over thirty other waterfalls seven rapids and first team cascades in this area alone also i think their journey from the beautiful caucasus mountains offering the perfect break from the hustle and bustle of the city the best time to visit the falls is in the spring when the melting snow brings a rush of water. this is one of the features of the sochi

national park which can be easily reached the roads. are open the whole year round and on average one hundred thousand people visit. next up it's into a four by four in search of saatchi's mysterious dolman experts believe these large megalithic landmarks were once used as graves or shrines it is there are a lot of people coming from abroad to visit the doormen they stay overnight it's believed to possess special properties and is older than the pyramids in egypt well i don't know exactly how many years older but this is a fact of the. some believe that these five to six thousand year old structures have great spiritual power along with stonehenge the idols of easter island and the pyramids of egypt they have remained a riddle for centuries. between the earth and skiing there's a whole range of sightseeing activities and beautiful the true landmarks here. gardens sulphur springs historic wonders what a fool's

a lush green forests and with its many faces a trip here to the subtropical and diverse black sea resort will certainly be a memorable one or two i'm dru's. well the ten days of the olympic competition have seen a number of sporting breakthroughs and record breaking results russian figure skating stars to. maxime trunk all set a new world record with their sort program their flawless skate received eighty four points seventeen points the highest ever score and another record was sealed on ice by nineteen year old japanese figure skater you were high new who became the first man to ever break one hundred points in the short program that speed skater sven kramer broke his own world record in the five thousand meter race storming to gold in just six minutes and ten point seventy six seconds while great britain set olympic curling records the ladies' team demolished the u.s. by seven points margin never seen before at the winter games are looking forward to

some more record breaking athletes ahead and when they're broken you of course will hear about them right here from our team for now back to moscow. and he said now it's associates studio from the very heart of the olympic games that and right here you go to everything you want to hear from the gains and news interviews and comment as well and that is full coverage online too including she's facebook page where you can always pose a question for ice hockey player pottle blu ray a.k.a. the russian rocket will pick the best ones to throw at the hockey legend next hour . in the meantime we'll be following the action and keeping count of all the medals stay with a big coverage. the g. twenty four team promises week ultimate and exhilarating winter in our eight journey

and it's now a how to make seven zero in on the bus tomorrow let me take you same for sochi twenty four take. on r.t. . coming out that they sol and also international their own barrow pressure of big bank a. few look at their actual life they can be fired in five minutes this is a deeply dysfunctional system the financial wall is shaken by a series of serious signs of the recent two weeks i'll see international looks at why someone is trying to deal with the high stakes competition. low cholesterol preeminence depression. these are tricks to look good and to prove your lies. are you

see. form those that's. running you on arts or. dramas the truth be ignored. stories others refuse to notice. food since changing the world right now. filled picture of today's new blood on demand from around the globe. broke to. the. well. it's technology innovation all the developments around russia we've got the future of covered.

you're watching also international life from moscow welcome back there's been a string of bizarre deaths in the globe's financial circles in the past few weeks five high profile bankers have died also on the part so science. investigates there are untimely deaths grabbed headlines three of which happened within a week be it the big investment banks they work for the senior positions they held the public nature of their deaths or all three once again it raised questions. about an industry largely blamed for bringing the global economy to its knees and a two thousand and eight financial crisis michael taylor a former goldman sachs bond salesman who calls himself a recovering banker knew this world well it's so extraordinarily competitive and so

focused profit above all in so transactional that every moment like pressure turns carbon into diamonds you know extreme pressure can both accelerate human achievement and some cases break people the pressure and calling the shots the form of banking we've got the moment has no interest in the people it affects. because in a sense legally responsible to investors and stockholders you make a moral decision without thinking about the impact that it has on the people job losses people losing their home and so on and so forth pressure to rake in profits or the pressure to put in more hours than your peers after the spate of recent deaths big firms did try to ease tension by telling their junior staff to take more time off or at least to try not to work on weekends it's kind of a disconnect between how they have the weekend off also to make this a ton of money and ultimately making a ton of money is what's going to keep you around so now you strike me as

a real solution you're a sly and spent a year demystifying bankers interviewing dozens of fine us workers on the condition of anonymity the degree to which bankers are trapped has been really a really important finding i think we keep on projecting this idea on bankers as masters of the universe we have everything we want but if you look at their actual lives they can be fired in five minutes this is a deeply dysfunctional and ought to be abusive system so there is this real taboo in banking like the army to own up to one soldier but it. does or so your r t one did. and on line team has plenty of stories lined up for you on our website including a report revealing that drug alcohol and sexual abuse in the u.s. military has been getting worse over the last three years why the trend line down on c dot com. and also about obama's administration is under fire again this time

over the unprecedented number of diplomatic posts being handed to campaign contributors instead of career diplomats more details on that story out just a click away. britain's intelligence. britons who went to fight the regime of bashar al assad in syria have returned home and pose a serious threat of terrorism among the fears is that they could recruit even more young people willing to launch attacks in the u.k. and the ruled and for more let's not cross live. here is in london for us so as far as we understand sorry an estimated two hundred and fifty highly trained men have returned from the war torn region what level of concern is that for britain security. well that report being carried in the sunday times and the two hundred fifty. returned to a now back in britain much higher than was previously estimated and of course

that's causing huge concern here amongst the security services and the huge scale of the challenge really that is presenting british security services and other port also claimed that m i five and police had stopped one serious put last also involving a cell of attorney jihad is planning a mumbai style gun attack in london now there's been a huge concern for a long time and it is something artie's reported on very closely about the concern around the number of british citizens that have been traveling out to join the conflict in syria this report obviously causing huge concern because this is about the people who've returned back to home soil now if you can't feel my back to last week with the reports of the british citizen abdul wahid. he's thought to be the first british citizen to have carried out a suicide attack on aleppo prison and now the issue there was that

obviously he's been able to travel over into that country his family had reportedly said he joined a humanitarian aid convoy but was causing such big concern is that obviously we're seeing these attacks taking place and these fighters gaining skills and becoming is thought to eat it it's for war and the concern is that the return east will be returning with these skills that could then be used to carry out attacks in britain now the police have said that they've made a number of arrests and they're monitoring the situation closely indeed genuine it's thought that sixteen arrests have been made of people having returned back the irony here of course is that when you think about the british government's. i want the assad regime to go they've been pushing for transition and they've been supplying non-lethal aid to the rebels as they technically they are on the same

side as d.g. harvests who are fighting the assad regime and the british fighters who have joined those to harvest that concern that of course is that the prescribed terrorist groups the isis gentleness were of the british system instead of joining these groups that the real worry is that obviously was there fighting with the as we said they gain the skills they're becoming indoctrinated and the real worry is that once the fights in syria they finish their they could return home and then the target could become. live from london sam many thanks indeed for that object. the pentagon is pumping in cash to boost its military presence in africa the u.s. as by pouring in troops weapons and mercenaries it intends to turn a land of conflict into a land of hope u.s. military bases in are spread across the whole of the horn of africa and drone bases are dotted across the region with the biggest in djibouti hosting over four

thousand military personnel and contractors and thousands of u.s. soldiers are reportedly preparing for missions as part of the pentagon's new strategy to train and advise original forces so she's policy a look now at what could really be motivating america's new found focus on the region. hundreds of millions of american dollars are flowing into africa as the pentagon upset spending on the continent there's plenty of moment to realize here nigeria a case in point the west african nation is america's fourth largest supplier of crude oil accounting for eleven percent of all u.s. oil imports we have made a lot of investment in. they have invested so much in the oil sector and they need to protect that and that believes rafsanjani is the real reason for u.s. troop expansion in africa not to bring democracy not to help the local populations

but to protect american interests and justify the reasons for being here the governess in order to in order. you know accountability. and of course you know it's the definitive kind of make up it's got crisis in the country. you know it is to me it in terms of i'm going to come part of policy reasons to actually come into nigeria africa is dotted with u.s. bases and a growing constellation of small american drone outposts camp north of somalia has been america's main facility on the continent for nearly a decade it houses about four thousand military and civilian personnel but at the end of last year it was forced to stop flying drones in the area after a string of crashes and growing anger from locals problem is u.s. forces are getting stretched very thin they're being tasked with missions that well

beyond their numerical logistics capability right now and the danger will then trigger they go forward and. new conflicts expand and all of the next thing you know those. troops and money to sustain these missions u.s. secretary of state john kerry says that's happening in africa so exciting overall and we are really deeply engaged and the president has instructed us to really try to. light our fire under our efforts throughout the county but what's not so exciting is the growth of jihadists and anti wasting groups across the continent thousands of american soldiers are gearing up for missions as part of the pentagon's new strategy to train and advise african militaries to deal with the threat it's not impressing those who live here is going

to be the americans of feel to combat terrorism in afghanistan or anywhere else and the same will happen here in west africa it's likely the. the prisons even bring the terrorist threat to the synagogue but the president does this calculation saying well this will allow me to be a good friend of the united states maybe attract some investment or strengthen my security forces that from the point of view of the senegalese people we risk losing our north a lot is a number of african leaders have expressed concern about the potential militarization of the continent fearful that america's expanding presence will bode badly for africa and have people. on the back of the news assessment it's time.

i just first state of the city address new york mayor bill de blasio said that he would put forward legislation for the city to issue special municipal identification cards to undocumented immigrants he summed up his feelings by saying to all my fellow new yorkers who are undocumented i say new york city is your home too and we will not force any of our residents to live their lives in the shadows yeah that sounds nice but the reason these illegal immigrants live their lives in the shadows is because they immigrated illegally why should new yorkers bend over

backwards for illegal criminal immigrants this is the same logic that if i catch a guy breaking into my house as a gracious host i should offer him a pizza because it's his. home to this is not just a slap in the face to rule of law but also to the immigrants who do go through the bureaucracy and headaches to become u.s. citizens the right way the legal way so the blasio if you're going to provide these illegal immigrants with some sort of document it should be a plane ticket back home with instructions on how to apply for a green card the legit proper way just like everyone else has to fashion just my opinion.

for them rather than inventing new powerful remedies. for the real ills that plague humanity to commend the like cancer and hypertension. the drug industry has found an easier way to maintain profit six percent pay. it invents illnesses to. to treat them pows it offers an effect of drugs but that doesn't matter because no one sick with no medicine from out at.

the four year period will hear it. think it's p.m.s. it could be. plane instances for disorder. in physical symptoms the week before your period call your doctor right away because this can be a sign of a serious medical condition before their periods women tend to feel tense and this year a double anxious so to joint it's a fact of life and was the source of household quarrels back when men dominated oh

i know now they've invented pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder here's what a name think about it will display disorder last weekend before your period because if you have dysphoria asks of what on earth is that awful it's derived from greek ice you know the top let's just say it means sure mood is a little unstable than no sit down yet now he says can be treated but i think it will be treated as equal how. it's an amazing american story line. had prozac a well known anti-depressant. had expired. so they published one hundred. forty.
