this is r t were broadcasting live from moscow welcome to the program the number of people infected with hiv in the worst affected countries has plummeted according to a new united nations report several african states are now showing more positive statistics in the ongoing battle against a deadly virus meanwhile bid to improve ways of fighting the disease health care officials and government representatives and scientists from around the globe are gathering in vienna. this following the story. in just a few days' time the eighteenth international aids conference will begin head in vienna bringing together around twenty five thousand policymakers scientists community workers activists and people living with hiv to discuss the latest developments in the stills but right now there's a two day conference going on looking at a ton of definitions and treatments of hiv and aids when the aids epidemic first hit the headlines in the one nine 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 trying to turn sixty three rivers just for information was just because it was. very curious. chatroom. so rich or even the first priority was to destroy it to keep from being. prescriptive produced. cigars since the discovery of aids three decades ago is 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 disagreement some believe there are different causes of aids not just hiv and cause doubt in 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 challenge the classic definition some to have different visas to treatment author and his doctor will turn it to therapy to conventional aids fighting drugs so strong is his belief . these are the treatment methods that he's written to twenty three years positive based on his experiences. primarily somber deserve an expert nation experience working through further can live for the troops. still want to transfer from so far this dissenting from the conventional view that hiv causes a say they can face a thin 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. completely pretty 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 serious thinking no 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 they not be able to discuss i'm very astonished at the reaction is sometimes so aggressive so that 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 new technologies and hate hiv and

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 from vienna. now illegal immigration remains a hot topic of debate throughout the western world while millions are on the move seeking a better life in countries that don't necessarily welcome them in the european union. gratian nationalist parties meanwhile the border control agency context has been slammed for excessive force in tackling those seeking to cross borders illegally the u.s. state of arizona has been criticized for in the hall where people can be stopped and searched and moved but by several other states supporters claim they're just protecting jobs critics call it racial profiling one group says he put immigrants

have no place in america. 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. you know what happened here for labor and you're going to leave 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 americans 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 used to do at a farm in oxnard a city just north of los angeles neighbors aren't convince the average american to step in their shoes not 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 out of work 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 stop 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 farm worker. and now. that. if i had a job that got me out there got me some exercise but no heavy lifting was 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 there 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 bringing 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. that story in our washington studio conservative author john ramana and human rights activist movement great and discuss the rise of negative attitudes to illegal immigrants and new strict immigration laws in some parts of the u.s. . the problem is that illegal immigrant workers have taken jobs over the years i mean the problem isn't so much of the farm industries as it's in construction bricklaying in the trades where we're seeing wage depression on a grand scale the issue is what we've got to really understand is that the whole argument is around the issue of scarcity when you got all of these folks on

employed all of a sudden you've got to look for a scapegoat for the reason why focus on employer but that's not the reason why focus on employed the reason focus on employed is because of the way the economic system was structured wasn't regulated fell apart falls and fell apart and us falling apart in europe it's the same kind of scenario now the issue that you need to understand and mr romano should understand is that there's always been this country because of the capitalist system a race to try to produce more or less that has always been the case so what happens is that you ended up basically outsourcing it's not that folks took jobs in fact we gave away jobs we gave away jobs through through two right there on the mexican border when we passed nafta and we passed caffe to all the free trade agreements it was so that people of corporations based in the united states could escape all the kinds of regulations and all the kinds of labor laws that exist within the united states i'm open to finding a solution but i can't have this one sided approach that is all business or all

illegals i will you know i'll come in the middle with the reverend but it's the illegals themselves who cause trouble as well as the businesses i mean business is not innocent here business is as cost and the american taxpayer billions of dollars through skirting labor laws openly say reverend reverend how do you respond oh i don't want to have an encore again just a semantically question one is i don't call anyone a legal because there is no human being that is illegal they may be undocumented get a etc etc but it's a theological point if you don't understand theological points of view then i guess that's because i don't have a reverend if you haven't already what you're talking about in terms of the draft. immigrant for a is a new work for racism and what you're really talking about are keeping people in the shadows so that people can continue to be manipulated by corporate entities and you never look at the kinds of international policies that the united states has created another place that creates a forced immigration to the united states in the first place the reverend can say

that all he wants but the it's the word illegal it does count if you're breaking the law you there is such a thing as illegal immigration the left is doing everything they can to change the fight from illegal immigrant to immigrant the law that has been that has been passed and is soon to be implemented in arizona really opens the door to racial profiling because if you believe on my side of the tracks one of the things you know everybody always say well the police can stop anybody without a reasonable cause well there's always reasonable cause when it comes to people of color to get stop you drive into shining a car that's reasonable cause you look like you're in the wrong neighborhood that's reasonable cause that's always the issue this is just the new new new form of racism i just want to ask the reverend question should there be any border law at all should anyone be allowed to come here at any time for any reason and stay as long as they want the united states i just can i get some clarity on that from you know sir well the issue is of me yes of course you want to have some regulation to the border but it needs to be home to main it needs to be jazz it needs to really

deal with where you're going as a country and it also needs to take into account the kind of policies that you have put in place in other countries like creates a forced economic integration and so forth the dollar model and human rights activists have integrated that they're discussing illegal immigration. the current heat wave across europe may be good for holiday makers but it could also create a significant fire hazard and then the most effective tools used for extinguishing some of the bases of russian helicopters because the demand for these choppers is growing rapidly if notion of. it's every year hundreds of thousands of hectares of spanish forest disappear the reason fire and. 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 russian firefighting helicopters are among the best and spain has

welcomed their arrival and we chose the thirty two because we know it for a long time ago and we know that this is the best there for five fighting. for the fighting is very very important market and. it's the start of the five we have this particular fire fighting helicopter the russian k thirty two is capable of carrying up to five tons of water takes just ten seconds for the crew to feel its huge container haiti's and just fifteen seconds to drop it onto a fire so it's rather quick which is extremely important but this isn't the only feature that makes this russian models turned out. to be certain to just move enough as it directions and tail rotor makes the mission more stable secure in more accurate. they stability and accuracy also guarantee safety for

firemen both on the ground and in the air. at least has that even at the if you sent over fire with flames reaching the helicopters queue she always feels safe but i am of the no doubt but that's it's made in russia but it works perfect hearing on those 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. pilots say take a thought cities always the last helicopter to leave a missionary or. historically the a thirty two has been made on the basis of k. twenty seven a multi purpose boat helicopter designed to work in hard meterological conditions and aggressive climates that's why it's unrivaled in this field for this particular mission. ten russian kafeel cities are already a feature in the skies over spain which to me due to join the ranks of the

country's army and as the spanish star mine testifies their presence could be of critical importance ration ocean otty alekhine to severe pain. the stern conference is known in history as the moment when a new battle europe was drawn three weeks after the unconditional surrender of nazi germany leaders from the three nations sat down together in attempts to establish a post-war order as a result germany was divided into four zones controlled by other i'd forces meeting also became the last time our eyes work together before the cold war and some experts believe that the time of the potsdam conference decades of political conflicts could have been avoided. i think there was there was still a real chance at the time of thought 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 at stalin it wasn't just being invaded by germany but by a coalition of eastern european countries remaining in on this treaty you can call to service from darien on a scale with croatia and troops fighting but stalling drive on the deception was of course this was how the journey through the un to do it but 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 wanted to create a buffer and to stop the similar crusade happening in the future. more than three months after the plane crash that killed poland's president turned many of the

countries in the eight 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 a picturesque evil twin brother of the deadly question the country's interior minister in parliament government official said that potion best greatest cannot reveal details of the copy actual probe into the front seat meanwhile polish media suggest that you or your evidence that planes pilots were under pressure from those on board to land parties reports on how recent testing relations between moscow and. 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 and 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 sure that the. i have got the. matter of months those who worked with russian investigation teams say

laying the blame on them is not clear there was in essence a joint investigation underway 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 that place 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 their feet. are fond 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 it was a tragedy that broke the ice between two people. just brought moscow in warsaw

closer than they've been in decades and now that relationship will have to withstand conspiracy theories to you know dollars bar to moscow. russia and garia have agreed on a road map for the south stream pipeline project alongside the north stream this route will directly supply russian gas to the countries of the european union the plans will incorporate a newly built system and existing garin pipelines it's expected that more than sixty billion cubic meters of gas we pumped through the south stream the project has been seen by its european partners as a guarantee of energy security. for more from the world of investment in finance you can watch our business bulletin in just a few minutes stay with us. for the full story we've gone to. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. hello

and welcome to business good to have you with us russia has passed a long awaited law on inside of trading the new rules are intended to define in the legal trading and what sort of punishment should be handed out to those who cross the line i mean the question or of course it's. in the film wall street's by oliver stone 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 whole 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 i leave you going former head of the russian market to regulators says this tap is not only significant for the proper function of the stock market but also has implications for the whole economy which is having a little though is not enough it also needs to be plight i look you can believes 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. sees a way out there's a. lot of bad because it's a serious political test. responsible for.

issues connected to the stock market like some special court is much easier according to the latest research around fifty five percent of people involved in the securities market admitted to the selective disclosure of information lawyer. says the new law would bring the country a step closer to international norms and willing hans's reputation as a place to do business just another sign off the contrary. to be a little bit more civilized than previously the government's ambition to turn moscow into an international financial center has become something of a mantra much of the infrastructure is in play. the new business district leaves since scrapes to school i just assume poor you can go for investors is the theory money is as safe as the next person's and that's the need to protection of the law

i do question our moscow better than expected financial results from american companies provided much of the driving force for the markets this week under diggins head of research of forbes club explains the impact they had all russian share prices. news determined to remain trends or that wall markets and most of the required. to do with or sort of short correction and we hope that this positive trend will be continuing during the next three and the seasonal corporate finance result is going to really hold to the results of the second quarter of the american corporate sector we'll be better than the same results of the second quarter last year russia is suffering 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 farming practices. central russia here over seventy percent of the green harbors has been destroyed by the drought but because russia normally produces a surplus and weather conditions have been more normal in siberia the country would next period a green shortage these here however this might not always be the case if the summer heat waves become a more permanent fixture as some climatologists expect some use out of water poured fifty stories for the roasted holes economists published a study suggesting that from the late seventy's to two thousand and eight in georgia cool period with plenty 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 into an ugly culture the green bean and so on crops the to lose eastern of cultivated land for green which currently stands at fifty percent could drop down to twenty percent indeed this process is already happening in some regions. for some 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 when 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 the previously for areas with its vast plains the solace of

the country may no longer be the breadbasket of russia instead it might become the heel of beans or even worse the does. this in a diminutive business or two. that's all we have for you in this edition of business r.t. but you can always find most stories on our website r.t. dot com slash this.
