hundred eighty s. it caused widespread panic for a singer he was one of the first diagnosed it was a terrifying experience the same experience turned sixty. the trust for information was just because. very few. chatrooms. so rich or even the first cardinals to truly became. christian priest. cigars since the discovery of aids three decades ago it's estimated a twenty five million people have died from the disease with eva sixty million people infected in that time according to the united nations u.s. scientists identified hiv as the cause and developed a successful test to detect its presence but this has itself been a subject to scientific disagreements some believe there are different causes of

aids not just take hiv and cause doubt on the standard aids test which is based on detecting the presence of the hiv virus whilst you might think there are only a small number of scientists who doubt the hate hiv aids there are a pair the conference is a list of around two thousand five hundred names all the scientists who challenge the classic definition some t. have different views as to treatment author and his dr tentative their pace to conventional aids fighting drugs so strong is his belief. these are the treatment methods that he's written of the twenty three years plus it is based on his experiences. trying somber deserve an explanation for the strengths the market reforms or could live for the troops. still want to transfer from so far the sensing from the conventional view that hiv causes a city can face eighteen hostility from the scientific pit is not occurring with

the mainstream hiv theory of aids has even been compared to holocaust denial include a crime against humanity the expression aids denial is really nothing but you know completely probably make nobody denies that there exists an acquired immune deficiency syndrome but. a science that is a life has to have the permission to question a certain model of thinking syria finking you know you don't bring in here a dying patient so that we have to act immediately and give him something we're discussing here we're scientists and medical doctors why should we not be able to discuss i'm very astonished the reaction is sometimes so impressive so the official aids two thousand and ten conference will be one of the most widely watched aids events in the world every day some of the topics is likely to be discussed will be

access to treatment as well as need technologies and hiv an injection drug now organizers have titled the conference right right now which they say emphasizes the central importance of protecting and promoting human rights as a prerequisite to successful response to the problem. correspondent sara firth reporting there from vienna. an investigation into the small plane crash that killed the polish president most of the country. has revealed new evidence that pilots. despite the probes apparent transparency conspiracy theories are testing me proof relationship between. details in just a few minutes. immigrants in the united states are prepared to do hard labor to survive and often resort to working illegally however one group of u.s. citizens is angry that these foreigners are taking away their jobs claiming they

don't pay taxes but these americans are not happy to do the work the immigrants do . among the ports. california. immigrant workers are picking the millions of americans and people around the world. it's a back breaking job not everyone is fit to do most of these. right in the united states illegally. and many are oblivious to the political firestorm that know what happened here for labor here believe any time i mean this is about lawful citizens versus illegal invaders if you want to build a fifty foot fence i'm in favor of the fifty. million illegal immigrants in the united states. those could be american jobs those could be tax paying jobs but some industries especially california agriculture businesses don't want to working for

them. which translates into workers needed a spanish language sign definitely aimed towards immigrant workers a foreign based workforce that's making sure that. make it to your table there's no need for interviews or long applications undocumented immigrants simply show up at a field and they're hired many people including former president george w. bush i mean immigrant workers do the jobs americans have to do. a city just north of los angeles neighbors aren't the average american could step in their shoes even for a day. to hire a. white person is too hard. i haven't seen any american here working here in the fields said you'll get it all came into this country illegally through the southern california desert he makes a dollar ninety for every box of strawberries he feels and now in an effort to

employ americans and obviously to prove a point the united farm workers union is embodied in american citizens to take the jobs of these farm workers wouldn't be surprised if after a day or two they find themselves appreciating those who are taking the jobs we saw by the unemployment office to find out if people who are out of work would be willing to take the job of an immigrant farm worker if a farmer came up. as a farmer. and now. that. if i had a job that got me out there got me some exercise but no heavy lifting at least eleven dollars an hour i would take it but i doubt that it's usually a lot of heavy lifting it doesn't pay too much they're farmers and they're willing to pay slave labor of course they have. conservative radio host tony katz is among the growing number of supporters immigration crackdown he thinks the threat to the

u.s. isn't just financial this is about people who may be coming with diseases we've already eradicated bring them back into the united states america has paid a significant price because of illegal immigration eric spence is the founder of we support arizona dot com he thinks americans will take the job of farm worker because an american will do what it takes to feed their family according to the united farm workers so far only three people have taken up there are for to take immigrant jobs in los angeles. r.t. . the current heat wave across europe may be good for holiday makers but it can also create a significant fire hazard among the most effective tools used for extinguishing some places are russian helicopters and global demand for these choppers is growing rapidly as artie's national reports. it's every year hundreds of thousands of hectares of spanish flies disappear the reason. the combination of the

hot dry climate and human negligence often creates an unstoppable force resulting in a national catastrophe. but now it may have met its match. searing on the front line for many years britain five fighting helicopters are among the best and spain has welcomed the arrival. we chose the thirty two because we know it for a long time ago and we know that this is the best for fight fight. for the fighting is very very important market and right now we can tell you that it's the start of the five that we have this particular fire fighting helicopter the russian k. thirty two is capable of carrying up to five tons of water it takes just ten seconds for the crew to feel its huge container haiti's and us. fifteen seconds to drop we don't have fire so it's rather quick which is extremely important but this isn't the only feature that makes this russian models turned out. ok since

your robot is moving loves it directions and no tail rotor makes the machine more stable secure in. the stability and accuracy also going to safety for firemen both on the ground and in the air. as that even at the if you sent over fire with flames reaching the helicopters kill she always feels safe but you know now that it's made in russia but it works perfect hearing and it's easy to control easy to maneuver it's not afraid of strong winds when others can't even takeoff it continues to work it's an ideal helicopter to work in emergency situations as they say it's gone through fire and vice versa i didn't like it but now it's my favorite pilot say take a thought cities always the last helicopter to leave a mission area is that. historically the thirty two has been made on the basis of a twenty seven multi-purpose boat helicopter designed to work in hard meterological

conditions and aggressive climates that's why it's on rivaled in this field for this particular mission. ten russian kafeel cities are already a feature in the skies over spain to me to join the ranks of the country's army and as the spanish samarra intensifies their presence could be of critical importance. alekhine to severe pain. we start this whole treaty between washington and moscow faces a tough road to get through the u.s. congress senior republican party figures opposing ratification but even on all rich vice president of the strategic security program at the federation of american scientists says some opponents are driven by a political agenda. we have to lead the world toward reducing nuclear weapons and the start of the first stage of that the opposition to the treaty that it's.

somehow is going to make us less safe you know there's no reason that the united states and russia need these huge nuclear arsenals we have thousands of nuclear weapons because the russians do and the russians have thousands of nuclear weapons because we do and all we need to do is to work our walk our selves back from this legacy of the cold war and the only reason we have these is that there are left over there quite literally left over from the cold war there's a very small group that are opposing the treaty i think that there are basically three reasons one is there are some from the bush administration particularly that just oppose arms control in principle they say it isn't necessary and it causes more problems than it solves and i disagree with them but they have you know they're not you know they have some argument there by think it's wrong but they have some logic there there are also those i think that for you know political reasons and i think this is most of it they want to deny the president political victory he looks good and looks like a peacemaker he has this treaty he won the nobel peace prize they want to retroactively sort of deal of minds that and so there's political motivations. more

than three months after the plane crash that killed poland's president turned many of the country's elite some politicians in warsaw have been questioning the investigation into the tragedy among the conspiracy theories is the idea that moscow has been hiding important evidence it comes as a political party headed by. the twin brother of the deadly that questioned the country's interior minister parliament government officials said that potion vesta gaiters revealed details of a confidential probe into the findings of completed polish media suggest there is new video evidence that planes pilots were on the pressure on board to learn what is really going to want some how this testing improved relations between moscow and warsaw. the sounds of this crash were heard around the world when the plane carrying polish president lech kaczynski came down and smolensk region during on

board russian poland united in mourning. moscow showed it was willing to go out of their way to make sure 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 for mushy it this situation causes suspicion however specialists in flight safety see no flaw with the conduct of the investigation they didn't have to cause 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 the history 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 wish. or that they have got the. matter of months those who worked with russian investigation teams say laying the blame on them is not fair there was in essence a joint investigation underway which i think was very wise sides so i know that there have been an ongoing series of conversations and efforts because we do need to understand what happened to the point so where does the doubt in the transparency of the investigation and the causes of the crash come from some believe politics could be playing. our phones of believing that it was russian factor and that the second major. major factor is that there is a strong media coverage on this issue and the. political fight between parties using this crash as it often goes to tragedy that broke the

ice between two people. but moscow in warsaw closer than they've been in decades and now that relationship will have to withstand conspiracy theories to you know all those parties moscow. put stem conference in history is the moment when you map of europe was drawn three weeks after the unconditional surrender of nazi germany the three allied nations sat down together and attempt to establish post war as a result germany was divided into four zones controlled by forces the meeting became the last time the allies went together before the cold war and some experts believe that the time of the conference decades of political conflicts could have been avoided. i think there was there was still a real chance at the time of ports to avoid the cold war i think what it required was and it would have been

a leap of faith in the summer of nine hundred forty five but it required a real understanding of the scale of the suffering that the soviet union had in jewett on a realisation that if we take the story back to nine hundred forty two when the soviet union had been invaded the german forces were stalling it wasn't just being invaded by germany but by a coalition of eastern european countries remaining on the through deep in the pool to surface from darien on the scale of croatia and troops fighting at stalingrad and the perception was of course this was how the journey through the un to that that it was a crusade a european precisely against bolshevism and if we bear that in mind i think we can understand the soviet point of view was that they want they want to do create a buffer zone and to stop the similar crusade happening in the future. screwy

gordon gekko makes billions by insider trading but the character that told the world greed is good gets his comeuppance of the long arm of the rule finally gets his hands on the antihero and we presume strips him of his wealth and send him to prison here in russia the gordon gekko's of this world have much less to worry about until now after ten long years of talks it seems a low dedicated to stamping out insider trading is finally ready for presidential approval of yugant former head of the russian market regulator he says this step is not only significant for the proper function of the stock market but also have implications for the whole economy which is having a little though is not enough it also needs to be point i look you can believe the russian market regulator is currently too small to take on the tosk and the core system is too complicated but the chairman of am d.m.

from its worst drought in more than a decade in a state of emergency has been declared in sixteen agricultural regions some climate scientists believe the heat wave may be just the beginning of many years of hot dry weather. reports this could lead to a radical change in russian plumbing practices. central russia here over seventy percent of the green harvest has been destroyed by the drought but because russia normally produces a surplus and weather conditions have been more normal in savior the country would next period be green shortage days here however this might not always be the case if the summer heat waves become a more permanent fixture in some climatologists expect some use. for the roasted holes accounting is published a study suggesting that from the least seven g.'s to two thousand eight. planes of rain now russia is entering a warm dry phase as the last two years prove that it will last until two thousand

and twenty six two thousand and thirty. the hottest year in a cycle expected to come over the next five years this could be enough to change the face of russian agriculture as farmers are unable to survive on the poor yield from their land over a longer timescale a prolonged period of dry weather is likely to force farmers to change their crops turning russia from green producer indian culture the. crops the to lose eastern of cultivated land for green which currently stands at fifty percent could drop down to twenty percent indeed disperses is already happening in some regions. of the last year's drought we gave up most of the dry land on the left banks of the river we continue to cultivate the right bank decreasing from one hundred twenty thousand to forty thousand hectares. today's blistering temperatures might become the norm in a few years' time if some climate change scientists to are to be believed new

weather conditions will in evitable force change in agriculture with some crops becoming non-viable in a previously for tell areas with its vast plains the south of the country may no longer be the breadbasket of russia instead it might become but he will be ins or even worse. the ninety minute business r.t. . that's all we have for this edition of business r.t. but you can always find most stories on our website r.t. dot com slash best.
