you know this is r.t. real casting live from the heart of the russian capital 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 the deadly virus meanwhile between prove ways of fighting the disease health care officials government representatives and scientists from around the globe are gathering in vienna. is following the story. in just a few days' time the eighteenth international aids conference will begin and head in vienna bringing together around twenty five thousand policymakers scientists community work is activists and people living with hiv to discuss the latest developments in this fails but right now there's a t.j. conference going on looking also tentative 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 the singer he was one of the first diagnosed it was a terrifying experience the same experience turned sixty rivers trust for information was just records. kiran. chetry. so richard reid the first priority was to destroy it to keep from being. considered princeton. sick or dark 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 a 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 hiv and cause doubt in the standard aids test which is based on the taking the presence of the hiv virus whilst you might think there are only a small number of scientists who doubt the hate hiv aids their way or the conference is a list of around two thousand five hundred names all the scientists who challenge the classic definition some t. have different visas to treatment author and his dr who tentative 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. trying earlier this summer he deserves an explanation for. the work through for clifford. troops this story true sir from so for us this dissenting from the conventional view that hiv causes a city can face a thousand hostility from the scientific to is also going 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 now 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 serious thinking 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 discount i'm very astonished their reaction is sometimes so aggressive 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 new technologies and 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. was our correspondent sara firth reporting from vienna. illegal immigration remains a hot topic of debate throughout the western world while millions are on the roof seeking a better life in countries that don't necessarily welcome them in the european you . gratian national parties meanwhile the border control agency. force in tackling those seeking to cross borders illegally us state of arizona has been criticized for the way people can be stopped and searched i moved back by several other states supporters claim they're just protecting jobs critics call it racial profiling and want to see first group says

immigrants have no place in america. california these immigrant workers are picking the millions of americans and people around the world. it's a bank 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 leave and they'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 have to do at a farm in oxnard a city just north of los angeles neighbors aren't the average american who could step in their shoes even for a day. to hire a. white person. i haven't seen any american here working here in the fields said he'll get it all came into this country illegally through the southern california desert he makes a dollar ninety for every box of strawberry fields and now in an effort to employ out of work americans and obviously to prove a point the united farm workers union is embodying 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 farmer. 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 and over 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 their offer to take immigrant jobs in los angeles. r t well with more on that story in our washington studio conservative author john ramana and human rights activist reverend grady and discuss the rise of make it to the teens to illegal immigrants and new strict immigration laws in some parts 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've got all of these folks on employed all of a sudden you've got to look for a scapegoat for the reason why folks on employed but that's not the reason why folks ought employ the reason folks on employed is because of the way the economic system was structured wasn't regulated fell apart from a part of the u.s. falling apart in europe it's the same kind of scenario now the issue that you need to understand and. should understand is that there's always been this country because of the capitalist system or 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 to do to right there on the mexican border when we passed nafta and we passed caf 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 locally say reverend reverend how do you respond to our i don't want to have an encore again just to semantically question one is i don't call anyone a legal because there is no human being that is illegal they may be undocumented getting excited about a bunch of theological point of view to understand theological points of views and i guess that's why it's so hard because i don't have a reverend if you haven't already what you're talking about in terms of the draft. immigrant for is a new word 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 and the reverend say that all he wants but the it's the word illegal it does count if you're breaking the law you know there is such a thing as illegal immigration the left is doing everything they can to change the fight from a legal immigrant to immigrant law that has been has been passed in the 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 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 just 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 and other countries that creates a forced economic immigration. conservative author john amman and human rights are going to have their discussing the immigration. the current heat wave across europe may be good for holiday makers but it could also create a significant find as it among the most effective tools they're used to extinguishing the some of the cases russian helicopters global demand for these choppers is growing rapidly as on these very emotional reports. every hundreds of thousands of have to use. spanish flies disappear the reason fire. 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. serving on the front

line for many years russian firefighting helicopters are among the best and spain has welcomed their arrival. we chose the camel toe to toe because we know it for a long time ago and we know that this is the best thirty copper for five. you know in spain for the fighting is very very important market and. it's the start of the fighting system 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 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 students just move in the opposite directions and no tail rotor makes the machine more stable period and more accurate. they 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 cue she always feels safe i know some of the know now but 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. pilots say the k. thought cities always the last helicopter to leave a missionary or is that it's their world historically the 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 on rivaled in this field for this particular mission was. ten russian k.

falsities 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 saw mine testifies their presence could be of critical importance ration ocean otty alekhine to severe spaying. the potsdam conference is known in history as the moment when a new map of europe was drawn three weeks after the unconditional surrender of nazi germany leaders from the three eyed nations sat down together in an attempt to establish a post-war order as a result germany was divided into four zones and control allied forces but the meeting also became the last time the allies worked 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 plots 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 this treaty you can call christmas from darien on this there were croatian troops fighting but selling drugs and the perception was of course this was how the journey through the un to that that it was a crusade a european precise 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 and to stop the similar crusade happening in the future. there are more

than three months after the plane crash that killed poland's president and 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. twin brother deadly the question of the country's interior minister in parliament government official said polish investigators cannot reveal details of the confidential probe to the findings of complete meanwhile polish media suggest there's new evidence that the plane's pilots were on the pressure from those on board to land nazis reports on how recent testing improved relations between moscow and so. this sounds of this crash were heard around the world when the plane carrying polish president lech kaczynski came down and smolensk region killing 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 they have got

. a matter of months those who worked the 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 that point so where does the doubt and 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. but moscow in warsaw closer than

they've been in decades and now that relationship will have to withstand conspiracy theories to you have all those parties moscow. russia and bowl game have agreed on a road map for the south stream pipeline project longside 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 boat carrying pipelines expected that more than sixty billion cubic meters of gas will be pumped through the south stream the project has been seen by russia and its european partners as a guarantee of energy security in the region. and for more from the well of investment and finance to get. my. hello and welcome to business good to have you with us russia has passed a long awaited law on insider trading the new rules are intended to define illegal

trading and what sort of punishment should be handed out to those who cross the line i do the question are reports. 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 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 regulator 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 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 and am sees a way out there's a. lot of bad because it's a serious political test. special responsible for. issues connected to the stock market like some special or as much as it is that 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 for 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. makes the new business district since creeps to school just assume poor poor 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 or 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 these news determined to main trend of the wall markets and most of the rica markets today we saw a sort of short correction and we hope that this positive trend to build be continuing during the next three and the season of 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 hollows 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 be 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 stores for the roasted holes economists published

a study suggesting that from the late seventy's to two thousand and eight. planes of rain now rush is entering a warm and 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 time scale a prolonged period of dry weather is likely to force farmers to change their crops turning russia from green producer indian culture the green bean and so on crops the to lose eastern of cultivated land from green which currently stands at fifty percent could drop down to twenty percent indeed this process 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 when a few years time if some climate change scientists to are to be believed new weather conditions will inevitably force change in agriculture to 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 than does. the ninety minute of a 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 mr.
