3:01 pm
arrested one was released without charge and these three have been charged with conspiring with terrorists now france says that they are links to various names terrorist organizations but russia maintains links with joe cool mafia of course is one of russia's most wanted man he's one of the most notorious terrorist still at large in connection with russia the perpetrator the self-proclaimed perpetrator of the of the metro bombings in march and also has links to al qaida now a source says that one of those who was arrested in western france was in contact with somebody who made regular phone calls to joe cool modder so there's a connection between that and that in turn suggests that these men could have been part of the planning for moscow metro bombings during the search of the flat where these three men were living police found firearms explosives and also particularly significantly more scary with various potential attack targets marks on it
3:02 pm
this arrest is really significant for three reasons firstly of course it makes the world a safer place just in general there is a hard and fast evidence that these three men were conspiring to perpetrate attacks in russia and possibly elsewhere in the world also it is an important cooperation between russia and the french authorities the french police made these arrests and brought these charges following a tip from the russian authorities russia said to france there are you know there are these three chechens living in western france you should move in and have a look at what they're doing so that suggests that two countries are working together to minimize the terrorist threat also traditionally chechens and north caucasus terrorists have been seen by the rest of the world. separatists people who are fighting for the independence of their region from the rest of russia but now with the rest like these that view is really falling out of favor it shows more
3:03 pm
that terrorists who commit acts on russian terror on the russian territory are just as much a part of the global islamic terrorist threats as as terrorists who committed atrocities elsewhere so-called moderate is a chechen terrorists he calls himself the leader of the caucasus emirates and he recently was declared by the u.s. as a sort of a global terrorist they called him part of a radical jihadist movement which poses a threat to the u.s. so he's been recognized as being more of a global terrorist with links to al qaeda that was shortly before president medvedev to the states he's one of now the most wanted men in racing in the north caucasus region he not only claimed responsibility for the mattress attacks in march but russian officials think that he's been responsible for a wide range of attacks and he's been visible and operating since the one nine hundred ninety s. in many cases in many attacks and bombings so these three arrests in france would

3:05 pm
investigation went openly and swiftly but some took the tragedy a lot more personally than others the progress of the investigation is to say the least minimal it is stalled polish investigators have received important documents was happen from russia it this situation causes suspicion however specialists in flight safety see no flaw with the conduct of the investigation it didn't have to cut any corners because really the causes for this accident were very straightforward by which i mean that it's the kind of accident which has happened many many times in this tree of aviation it is the most common type of fatal accident in aviation history i think possibly. some polish people would have said look accident investigations take two years how are they so sure that they have got the answer after only
3:06 pm
a matter of months those who worked with russian investigation teams say laying the blame on them is not fair it was in essence a joint investigation under way which i think was very wise. so i know that there have been an ongoing series of conversations and efforts because we do need to understand what happened to their plane so where does the doubt in the transparency of the investigation and the causes of the crash come from some believe politics could be at play their feet. are fond of believing that it was russian factor and that the second major. major factor is that there is a strong need. coverage on this issue and there is a political fight between parties using this crash as it often goes it was a tragedy that broke the ice between two people let the chance to moscow and war

3:10 pm
washington following a report issued by lawmakers scientists and doctors calling on the u.s. government to own up to its agent orange legacy in vietnam today also people will stand me government records show nearly ninety five percent of all u.s. agent orange related aid is committed to efforts to contain and remove dioxin contamination we asked the justice for all the victims those fighting for justice in the case of vietnamese agent orange victims want the physical and psychological damages to be acknowledged with. the dark legacy left behind by the u.s. in vietnam is one with millions of human face. their struggle three decades in the making will not end with money from the u.s. government but it could ease the pain the u.s. has been ignoring scented done for months sent to manufactured agent orange in these jungles jan half this r t washington d.c. . the mongolian president said a dive into the world's deepest lake aboard

3:12 pm
actor in a bollywood for their new bin ladin or without you lot in but just in case you think this is a movie glorifying a terrorist it is a general sort of film on militant biography it's a film which is on the post nine eleven world of which bin laden happens to be very very important character and this is a film both feet below the deep hole using it's not insensitive or offensive in any way and anybody from any part of the world is going to enjoy this film i can guarantee you that it's a murder comedy set in pakistan where the young journalist is fixated with going to america. and he decided to stick it to get there is an interview with osama bin laden so he goes about creating a fake or. using a look a like. well they had to keep the twenty five year old actor under wraps to prevent making the film. i had gone to shopping mall in noida to
3:13 pm
promote this film and there was a commotion there a crowd of more than a hundred people gathered so we're following in this term pete i was scared can wait to attack me but nothing like that happened they wanted to shake my hand and take my autograph so i signed with love someone. who plays the journalist is a pakistani singer and this is dead film how does it feel acting in an indian film set in pakistan and they would greatly appreciate your scene. people enjoy them so i mean to see your pakistani. something very refreshing and new for them but pakistan's fun censors have banned the movie saying it mocks security agencies. and screening it in public could trigger violence films distributers in pakistan the message of peace and not appealing the ban but i thought it was a nice film a good idea there's a lot of good humor from the name it sounds like
3:14 pm
a serious films but actually it turned out quite different so it's full of great jokes. that's. definitely quite a good film people will definitely like it mind my students to come and watch it and they will like it there's nothing here that will incite people to my lines as. the selling point of this film is. but it's very tongue in cheek. to act the part in and. i challenge you america there will be retribution holding just an evil actions you have committed in the countries like iraq and afghanistan for these you will have to pay a heavy price. when i first heard about this film i thought it was going to be a glorification looked at it but actually it's quite irrelevant subtile the way pakistanis and muslims are looked at with suspicion in the west today and how the reader could be fooled into believing something that doesn't exist i think this film could do well in south asia but western audiences would probably need a good sense of humor to appreciate the message got in c r d delhi.
