a very warm welcome to this is artie live from moscow with me alice have it all the two million people a year die from aids that's why this weekend experts and scientists from around the world are meeting to find a way to save more people mainly through prevention but there's also a group calling into question the exception wisdom of where this disease actually comes from and they're angry that no one's listening. following the story for us. eighteenth international aids conference will begin hay 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 the stills there 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 turned sixty. the trust for information was just great to see it right. kiran. chetry. so. we have our first order was to destroy. princeton. cigar 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 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 they hate hiv aids their way here at the conference is a list of around two thousand five hundred names all the scientists challenge the classic definition some to have different diseases to treatment author and his doctor tentative therapies to conventional aids fighting drugs so strong is his belief in these other treatment methods that he's written a perfect. twenty three years positive based on his experiences. right somber he deserves an expert for free market reforms or could live for the troops. still want to transfer from so for dissenting from the conventional view that hiv causes a city can face a thousand hostility from the scientific peer is not occurring with the mainstream hiv theory of aids has even been compared to holocaust denial include

a crime against humanity a science that is a life has to have the commission 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 are discussing here we are scientists and medical doctors why should we 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 here right now which they say emphasizes essential importance of protecting and promoting human rights as a prerequisite to successful response to the problem. well when i'll join my daughter

from the h.i.v. aids department of the world health organization for many thanks for joining us now also we're hearing in our report that there is a growing voice among the scientific community that challenges the conventional view that only a tiny b. causes aids but they feel that they're being ignored by the rest of the scientific world isn't science what about homes good questions. it certainly is so and this. this question has been asked many times and i think. we have very clear evidence. h.i.v. is the cause of aids this is an. issue an issue that has been dealt with of course science has to be open to any new evidence but as far as we're concerned there certainly isn't any new evidence to demonstrate anything otherwise if i can just inject. that you say that this is an old issue and that it's been dealt with

in what way has it been dealt with how is any clarification on the issue of whether a child b. is the only cause of aids been reached or definitely. i think certainly from the nine hundred ninety s. when a child it was. discovered that the the evidence is very clear that there is a cause that the hiv virus does cause deterioration in the immune system and that results in the disease that we know. well those among the scientific community that disagree with that all agree that all of the causes to the aids virus apart from h l e v suggest that it's possibly the issue of billions of dollars being at stake in the treatment of a child be it making it mainstream science that's the issue that's making mainstream science projects and questioning all the received wisdom. i don't see that as being an argument although the virus was discovered before

effective treatment was available and before we saw the very significant treatment scalloped that we see today in reality we've seen that treatment is saving millions of lives and any question you know of. a major concern but since the discovery of the disease some three decades ago during the 1980's we do know that some staggering some twenty five million people have died as a result and of course it has become a multi-billion dollar industry among. the drugs industry so do you not think that that could potentially post some obstacle to alternative theories coming to the fore within the scientific community on this issue. not at all it's a very complicated onus it's a very complicated virus. it is one of the most difficult infectious diseases that we've ever had to do with and this has meant an incredible amount of investment in

new technologies new medicines new approaches to treatment which have not only benefited those individuals who are infected with hiv but a much broader community it has resulted in a huge amount of research into basic sciences into far ology into medicines into mobilizing communities that are most marginalised and that risk of a whole range of other health problems and this whole movement this mobilization of the scientific community. the community of people living with hiv be those populations most most vulnerable by having a very significant impact on a much broader range of health issues but dr paul you say that the link has been established for me and aids you say that a considerable amount of money has been invested in seeing you treatments but the

net result is that we still don't know how to cure the disease how secure rates and how close are we really and what's being done to reach the clothes that are that here. well currently we have some very effective. treatments before in the 1980's up through to the middle of the nine hundred ninety s. really hiv infection was a death sentence there was nothing. no effective treatment available in two of the big nine hundred ninety s. . at that time combination therapy was introduced and we saw a dramatic decline in the actual rates of death among people living with hiv so now we're looking at an infection and a disease which is now a chronic disease where we can expect people to live for many years as long as they have access to good quality good quality treatment and care and yet i think you're

still the scientific community not only saying almost half the world help organization that you are not also you've been to considering alternative theories that h.l.a. b. is not the only cools all the aids. we're open to the sun and certainly. the process is. under takes requires very rigorous review of the science and not just from a few individuals it requires input from a broad range of sectors from basic scientists through to people living with a child be through to the manufacturers of medicines through to. public health officials in countries particularly those most affected so we were able to monitor really what is going on there very broadly ok dr many things they saw as my friend were going to have to leave it that was dr paul senior staff see and

operations advisor of the department of health organization. europe remains in the tiny grip of a heat wave in moscow the temperatures have already broken several records this summer on saturday some parts of the capital have been sizzling at thirty six degrees celsius but it has all sees a test all set of reports for many more skies the burning sun is just another reason to how far. he was and here you are. right there just lying around in the sense that this was behind me it was. really rather that was. there was you know we. were. people like you know there was that there's a letter that the really the what.

was it was. ok there was very likely that was the it. was. so they had. to see where the trees. the plane crash that convince president to many of the countries in the to surrounded by conspiracy it's. a tough immigration law in arizona is being criticized across the u.s. for allowing racial profiling the rule that set to come into force later this month allows the police to stop and search people who would gel suspected of being illegal immigrants critics say it will be the targeting of ethnic groups supporters claim the law will protect jobs but as all sees that i'm on california found out if

the illegals and going that we don't want to replace them. under the southern california. immigrant workers are picking the consume but millions of americans and people around the world. it's a bank breaking job not everyone is fit to do most of these workers right in the united states illegally so from as far as central america and many are oblivious to the political firestorm centered around it you know what's happened here from whatever 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 but there's a living million illegal immigrants in the united states. those could be american jobs those could be tax paying jobs but some industries especially california's agriculture businesses don't want americans working for them. which translates into

workers needed a spanish language sign definitely aimed towards immigrant workers a form 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. the average american could 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 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 a farmer came a. job 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 gratian crackdown he thinks the threat to the u.s. isn't just financial it 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 in the green jobs in los angeles. are t. . plenty more now website with is that. you cannot say also calls through many stories. including a. bollywood side based almost someone. raises along with some anger among all things. mary poppins seems to have. designed by most cases to educate and entertain children pursue just science

competition. if more than three months since the deadly plane crash in this middle school we generally kill polish president lech kaczynski and many of the country's top political figures the russian investigation has been completed but rumors and conspiracy theories remain about despite the fact polish off origins declared themselves such as fide with the findings that in the galoot got reports. the 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 wanting. moscow showed it was ruling 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 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 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 the answer after only a matter of months those who worked with russian investigation teams say laying the

blame on them is not there there was in essence a joint investigation under way which i think was very wise. so no good here it's been an ongoing series of conversations and efforts because we do need to understand what happened to their point. so where does the doubt in the transparency of the investigation and the causes of the crash come from some believe politics would be plenty of people. are fond of believing that it was russian factor and that the second measure. much of a factor is that there is a strong media coverage on this issue and there is. political infighting between parties using this crash as it often goes what the tragedy that broke the ice between two people. just brought moscow and warsaw closer than

they've been in decades and now that relationship will have to withstand conspiracy theories to be a college bar to moscow. ok let's get a check now on some of the top stories from around the globe they found. that the massive capital notes were up to well in the gulf of mexico appears to be holding the countless stops the flow of oil into see for the first time since the designs to was cools by an explosion in april pressure testing is now being carried out and engineers the monitoring to check that there are no further in the future is it will spill has affected hundreds of miles of coastline and seriously damaged the region's economy. at least sixteen people have been killed in northwest pakistan the militants ambushed a convoy messenger buses the vehicles were traveling to the city of peshawar with an escort from security forces when militants opened fire finally for people reported to have been killed on the spalls and the rest died at the hospital. well

that is business news on the way now with kenya. 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 by the question or ports. and 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. and 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 plight 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 an d.m. sees a way out there's an improvement of legal system needs a lot of buy because it's a serious political that's. special responsible for. issues connected to the stock market like some special court as much as 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 will in hans's reputation as a place to do business just another sign off the contrary. to be a little 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 isn't. new business district in scrapes to school i just assume poor thing though 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 moscow better than expected financial results from american companies provided much of the driving force for the markets this week hundreds of indian head of research of forbes club explains the impact they had all russian share prices these news determine to main trends or the wall markets and most of the rica markets

today we saw a sort of short correction and we hope that these positive trend will be continuing during the next three and the season of corporate finance results is going to be that 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 as they did reports this could lead to a radical change in russian farming 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 not experience the green shortage days here however this might not always be the case if the summer heat waves become a more permanent fixture as some climatologists expect which some used to be stores for the roasted holes economists published a study suggesting there from the least seven g.'s to two thousand eight. hundred warm and dry days 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 green bean and some crops due to lizzie sion 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 revolution 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 the previously fertile 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 there does. this in a diminutive business art. and that's all we have for this edition of business r.t. but you can always find most stories on our website r.t.
