6:07 pm
their own prisons one that they have amnesty international has published many critical reports on them. and of course detainee abuse is widespread in iraqi prison so i can't imagine that these detainees will be any better off actually under iraqi custody than american. so to come later in the program a blast from the past. the scenes of the old doc became so popular that alongside the usual memorabilia the special brand of cigarettes was created just to mark the occasion. thirty five days up to the historic norm looks at the significance of these but some of them dies it spawned. a ride to remember falling down and amusement park turn from to see it but these visitors in st petersburg when they're hopeless and being in.

6:17 pm
a great step towards cooperation between russia and the u.s. there were no losers. there are plans for alex and his apollo counterpart thomas stafford to meet president obama but not until the friends have had a chance to catch up with each other it was a very meaningful symbol to the people of the world when we opened the hatch. and showed to the world when the way you look the space race said in a way the joint space project had a huge impact on both sides of the atlantic a time when rocket launches captured millions of imaginations worldwide media conceived watch the sea use reach into the sky and vividly remembers every emotion it stirred. i was in the fourth grade and it was a huge celebration not just for the school but the entire city we got hundred balloons flying and went to meet the cosmonauts and then later on we were all outside again to watch the actual launch i remember my dad who worked at the launch

6:21 pm
you are the. most of all so i thank you so much for talking to r.t. today that this seems to have been a very lengthy process in which no actual secrets were passed on do you think that these particular spies would ever have produced information that would have been of any value well it's difficult to say what they would eventually. have managed to get hold of certainly what they were doing when they were discovered during very
6:22 pm
quiet suburban lives it does for a lot of people they had not penetrated any major institution like cia. or f.b.i. or the pentagon or some nuclear facility that any of that they might have been used as me go betweens but one doesn't think that as the primary information source they were nowhere near as sensitive material and these kind of deep sleep i mean what kind of person would do that it seems to be quite a special type of scale it is to do to leave your homeland to go to somebody else's and really is completely sink yourself in their society to such a degree that you can puff for one of them that is an exceptional skill it takes years of practice the idea that they just arrived with no training is nonsense they would have been years in a like an all-american village somewhere person the urals becoming americans over an extended period and then to arrive in
6:23 pm
a no you may never see your homeland again it's a win for most people to root. exactly fights to make it's very very unusual most traitors for example spies who spied against russia or the u.s.s.r. during the cold war were themselves russians oil ukrainians or you know and traitors in the west were british or americans. very rare to find someone who can pass. for me gordon lowndes dale who was the muffs the mind of what we call the portland bill spy ring many years ago was indeed kernel. of the k.g.b. but he was gordon the canadian businessman. and he was asleep but it's very unusual it's the most unusual. form in which espionage takes place and this is a song that's actually still ongoing just this week we had the arrest of another yet another spa in the united states only twenty three years old which seems extraordinary young what kind of training do you think he would have had at such
6:24 pm
a young age well i don't know what i don't know how he was able if he was indeed able to plus the thing about america it's an easier side to penetrate that in british society because i mean america is an ethnic melting pot and you can say hey you know i'm of i'm a polish immigrant i love america i'm a polish american and i have a name like cobol skeet because my american with a name like evolves because it's harder to say i am very open to go my instances go back three hundred years in britain when you're not. these things can be checked so you have to have what's called a legend that's going to be very very perfect takes years of working all and usually as it with gordon lonsdale there was once a golden globe still was canadian boy who died and his entire life story was taken over by the k.g.b. . who created a new one around their own their own man that's i was usually done to take over
6:25 pm
someone who died but who who is ancestry can be proved. that sides don't do you think that the the rest of these people at that time was politically most of a sense i don't know i it's all because i'm. it's. it came just. prime as a president medvedev was. sort of sharing a hamburger with the american president so maybe the american president barack obama was very pleased that should be at that moment. it could be a decision that the director of the f.b.i. said we can't delay perhaps we thought they might fly the coop if they didn't do something quickly but anyway they were there was one shot of the two heads of government cheerily sharing a hamburger about three days later. this is a humiliating story for for for moscow this is a thing that was sold very quickly more quickly than it would have been for example
6:26 pm
during the cold war why why do you think that was what was behind the solving of it i think the reason. the original arrests the trial all the arrangements were streaming quick and the decision to swap them was very quick. from america's point of view i think derives the fact that they were they realize they actually weren't sort of top top top level people. they are an embarrassment to moscow. they're almost a joke to the american media who couldn't take them seriously i mean guy you can say what have you done in ten years would have penetrated the golf club you know it's it's not actually. i think that i was behind the let's get that out of here. and it was about the muscovite let's get them back quickly and cover this rather embarrassing episode up as best we can and that's what they're doing benefited the most from this hastily arranged swap oh the usa usa it was
6:27 pm
a propaganda coup. it it reminded i mean the watching world that spying isn't over still goes all and both sides are at it and they know they are we all know they are but perhaps we need reminding because it's been twenty years since the end of the cold war many of us for maybe. ninety nine feet. away in the russian empire. and to save it from the soviets. five hundred tons of gold. dozens of. six hundred fifty million in. the
