7:04 am
really happened events as so around in this story remain a mystery the looming question in this case how did the iranian scientists sure amiri get to the united states one person has already answered that question miry himself but his answers completely contradict one another in this video a man who says he sure amiri says he's in tucson arizona and was kidnapped by agents from the cia and saudi arabian intelligence agency he claims he was tortured a few hours later though this video is released a man who looks the same and also says he is sure amiri claims he is here to further his education the u.s. state department seems to agree with that statement he is here of his own volition that he has chosen to return to iran of his own volition that is how we do things here in the united states we didn't we didn't seize him and bring him here
7:05 am
that we're not preventing him from returning to iraq this building is the pakistani embassies office representing iranian interests since the old iranian embassy in washington sits empty because there's no longer a diplomatic relationship between the united states and iran according to reports coming out of iran for amiri right here monday night he told those inside he was quote brought here by his captors and demanded an immediate return to iran. i was told that if i would confess they could swap me for three american spies who had been detained at the iran iraq border they said that this was a common process between countries intelligence agencies and that i wouldn't have any problems. as media outlets waited outside for a glimpse of something those at the state department press briefing bickered about what this all means other than knowledge that he has put videos up on the on you tube from time to time i actually have no knowledge about what he's been doing since he's been here in the states proof fear of chaos in
7:06 am
a case of the man shrouded in mystery with potentially far reaching implications for relations between the united states and iran and an outcome that is still unknown in washington christine for sound r t. a little bit later in the program the president asks that the people running new york's financial district change the way. do you think that while street bankers can be reformed now. because it's just the mentality that you need to have to work on wall street it's like it's almost an ingrained into their personalities. now thousands of experts scientists and politicians from around the globe have gathered in vienna to discuss aids prevention but as our sisera first reports the convention has also trapped skeptics who oppose a mainstream belief surrounding the deadly virus. this day of the aids two thousand and ten conference in vienna people have been arriving all morning to register and
7:07 am
to the global village which is going to be the center of much of the discussion over the coming week now as though that around twenty five thousand people will be attending this year's conference meeting policy making this scientists community work is people living with hiv and aids or to discuss the latest developments in this field now so quickly the last couple of days and ahead of the main conference we've seen a separate much smaller wheat. gathering to discuss alternative views that challenge the mainstream i did about hiv and aids in fact challenging the traditional methods of treatment and the definition of hiv and aids itself now most of the people that are attending this conference of delegates and scientists said that they will need a part to even interact in a conversation with this separate completely ignored it saying that this is not something that they're willing to discuss and they'll be focusing very much on the topics of that they'll be discussing here this week some of these main topics again
7:08 am
to be a prevention of hiv that's been a big issue and we know that in two thousand and five they said the december two thousand and ten deadline the universal access to hate hiv prevention and is the countries have fallen pretty far short of those targets will certainly be discussing ways to progress that moving forward and among other topics of discussion a likely to be cost saving technologies as was new technology and another main issue here this conference is hiv valence and injecting drug use is now organizers of the conference have said that vienna was chosen as the host in part due to its proximity to eastern european countries including russia and ukraine which have been identified as hotspots for prevailing hiv in injecting drug users as it will be another topic that is discussed throughout the week before today the aping talks are going to be starting at seven o b introductory talks bringing me the latest
7:09 am
from them as they have. what has been more volatile terms of their recent round again tie vs prevention now joined by dr kumar who's in vienna. many thanks for joining us why have you decided to reject established scientific theory surrounding a. because when i worked at the university in kiel i was witness of the mass intoxication. of the patients with a c t if he was the first recommended treatment and we all know today that it was much too high in the dosage we gave fifteen hundred milligrams on a daily basis and that virtually killed everybody who took this treatment and that is the reason why everybody believes that age of reason that we were us but there's no proof for this assumption the all saying that during the ninety's when this method of treatment was most widely used you saw mass mistreatment of the patients
7:10 am
involved yes they were all over treated at that time and the reason why the doctors didn't notice it was easy to explain because the placebo control was stopped already after four months so after four months it was said that for ethical reasons nobody. can be withhold of the city treatment and after this for weeks or months the. mortality rose tremendously in both groups but i and i have seen in the mainstream scientific community has also not picked up on this that during the ninety's patients were mistreated are you saying it's simply a fringe group of scientists that is ill self has picked up on their. yeah but this mistreatment was the very reason why everyone believes that hiv is a deadly virus and the hiv positive test puts everybody now at an
7:11 am
equal risk which is completely nonsense so healthy pregnant mother to be positive pregnant mother is told that she carries the same deadly virus as a hopeless hiv. i.v. drug induced. junkie so it works i go on with humans in vienna is it purely the treatment the traditional treatment of each id aids that you disagree with or do you also dispute the accepted wisdom as to the main cause of aids. we dispose we dispute the cause of aids the treatment nowadays is in some cases good for patients who really have chemical aids that means in the gay community those who are taking drugs and getting after years they can have profited from the treatment which is given today but that
7:12 am
doesn't mean that it kills the virus but this kills all bacterias and microbes which bother these aids patients so we cannot take this as a proof of the we hope offices and so just in a brief dr chua in line how do you respond to the majority of scientists next those involved in the aids debate you disregard your position on this is. well it's a pity that there is not a discussion between. those two groups so if they don't listen to each other there can be no progress. medical practitioners specializing in many things they're speaking to us from the anna. now a severe drought has followed the state of emergency in central russia the unusually drawing spell is turning normally thirsts all fall into desert the republic of two last year is just one of many areas which is suffering as our correspondents old thomas reports. a natural disaster is taking place in central
7:13 am
russia painstakingly slow in the making but impossible to stop unseasonably high temperatures and extended periods without rain are leaving farmers without the possibility of a harvest. you see because of the unprecedented drought the crops are not laden they are empty the plants are underdeveloped they are good neither for grain nor for livestock feed we have harvested almost everything by now and it only covers about half of what we need. is one of sixteen regions along the volga and urals that have declared a state of emergency an area more than twice the size of switzerland which faces losing a billion dollars this year so. this region is going to have trouble sustaining itself farmers are looking for ways to procure rougher trauma other regions such as the dimmer and district again there's the matter of financial losses without financial support farmers will have a very tough time for us yeah this field of summer we should be about chest high on
7:14 am
me and a rich lush green color but in fact right now it's dead withered and yellow and the ground itself is dusty and pretty much worthless at this point now it's true that the drought has affected crops but it's also affecting the people who live here negatively. we have a problem no water yes a problem dripping at the base. no no no water it's dry the wells and many of the villages have run dry forcing those who live here to make long treks to a nearly dry river bed for water such conditions have locals concerned about their survival this is the size of the potato we have nothing. no food for people means even less food for animals causing farmers to take drastic measures just to make ends meet mature to move their blood urine we are already thinking about reducing our cattle stock we are selling this year's calves to individuals we are also thinking about sending under-performing cows those are you less than five to ten
7:15 am
liters of milk to the slaughterhouse the situation however is further complicated by the fact that meat prices have dropped already leaving many to hope for government intervention and financial support so they can get by. thomas r.t. . the us banking system is about to go through its biggest overhaul and over seventy years the daughter of frank bell is designed to prevent a repeat of the financial crisis and would limit risky trading activities limiting bank profits it's unpopular long wall street with wealthy donors beginning to direct more campaign contributions to the republican party resident finds out people in new york think bank is can be reformed. the twenty three hundred page dad frank bell is being regarded as the most significant financial legislation in almost
7:16 am
a century do you think wall street bankers can actually be reformed this week let's talk about that do you think that wall street bankers can be reformed no. because it's just the mentality that you need to have to work on wall street it's like it's almost an ingrained into their personalities as a finished grad school and i just don't think that's going to change they think if we put a little bit more regulation here in wall street the facts could help the world globally not a little a lot. because like you said this is the world's financial structure right here right there think goes to new york and so forth that's. a little regulation can only do good a lot of regulation you know it it will always be about the money no matter what any bills that no matter what any bill says so should the government get involved doesn't matter the government and the corporations and the banks are all one. but they're all just talking to themselves well basically it's all a smokescreen people unfortunately and today everything is partisanship and saw
7:17 am
everything is about the next election and so people walking out of his suit against the administration saying it's the worst thing ever is going to send america to third world country and people who are for the president are say this is the best thing since sliced bread it's partisanship something needs to be done is this thing i don't know time will tell i think there were probably yeah there was a lack of control and they were some additional control but it still is a you know the end of the day if the if they regulated to have it or else. yeah a lot of business will just they'll just find a way around a place in london. whether or not you think the dodd frank bill will actually accomplish anything the bottom line is we have to try something otherwise we're just desk. to make a mistake with this. cooperation
7:18 am
between moscow and has received a boost the following told the merkel's talks with president medvedev than russia both leaders took the opportunity to reiterate the unique relationship between their two countries. let me draw your attention to the fact that germany is number one on the list of russia's partners we have long time relations which have not been spoiled even by difficult chapters in our history. when it comes to russia and germany's relations with other countries it's not like in school where you have just one friend we can have many friends germany and russia have their own issues they're completely different in nature to translate into problems it's useful for us to be able to discuss them together the room for dialogue doesn't exist to the same degree with president obama as a does between us but the u.s. relationship is still very important and i think president medvedev also would like to read to read that this conference is no way should signalize about relationship with president obama. well we have two options either through this going it somehow
7:19 am
megas we'd rather treat our friend barack obama to some kind of european cuisine. as i am as i think the burger will taste best for me. all along with smiles at the summit the team leaders got some serious business done as a number of business deals between the countries germany has agreed to provide lots of different types of technology trains and wind. during the meeting the leaders discuss a whole range of things including civil rights iran and european security they also enjoyed a meal which included all the best but insisted it was not the famous german. the start of the atomic age sixty five years ago us has won the race to produce a nuclear weapon when america spent the modern day equivalent of about twenty billion dollars on the project in a bid to solve your rivals he was also
7:20 am
a place to creating a bomb. the remaining relics of the soviet union's purse the new. it was the culmination of the manhattan project the first american nuclear explosive device nicknamed the gadget went off in new mexico just weeks before devastating the japanese city of hiroshima many including the godfather of the j. robert oppenheimer were terrified by the power of the deadly mushroom cloud. people were spared the echo of that blast carried for beyond the atlantic and the soviet union experiments with nuclear energy were on the way too but just like the u.s. and this research institute on the black sea coast the main rules were played by
7:21 am
german scientists this used to be a top secret nuclear facility but aside from these lawyers the entrance was guarded by soviet soldiers. deep inside of causey a subtropical paradise. three hundred germans top nuclear physicists their assistants family members and even personal chefs were brought to this clue's compound and up cause by the order of joseph stalin in one nine hundred forty five the nazis were famous for their highly developed nuclear research programs so absent world war two moves german physics and chemistry professors at almost no other option but to work for either moscow or washington if fierce competition between the u.s.s.r. in america to get hold of nuclear weapons was on and even though the us were the first to successfully carry out a nuclear test their rivals caught up pretty quickly at the at the. germans here
7:22 am
thoroughly analyzed the us media reports about the blasts even from there they were able to say what had to be done next. alexander church is a veteran of the sukhumi research institute he says many people here remember the time the german successfully accomplished their mission and were led by the soviet authorities in the nine hundred fifty s. he's showing us the four thousand book library with rare physics digests and german the office where head professor used to work and the equipment hell left for russian scientists. this machine is called the spectral brush it's a high definition device a very precise one even when the germans left are saying to us used to get great results with this equipment. but the rest of the building where german physicists used to work on the soviet a bomb is totally deserve it all lines are disconnected and nowadays people rarely visit these dark hole ways sixty years after the beginning of the nuclear era this
7:23 am
place hidden among the bamboo trees still holds many secrets and the story of german scientists behind the soviet union's very own project manhattan is just one of them. r t applies here. now for the third year running the streets surrounding martha's crammed the transformed into a racing track as the formula one have gathered in the center of the russian capital to witness a speedy exhibition of high performance vehicles and for more on this event we can now cross live to. who is near the criminals for us to say what is this race all about. this whisper third edition of a moscow city racing to taken place in the russian capital has really become a fixture of russian middle school calendar over the last three years or so of this event it really is about trying to raise awareness of motor sports and give youngsters a new generation of people the chance to see in particular formula one cars for
7:24 am
their own eyes as well as i said earlier no real motor sport events taking place in russia over the last decade and it's nothing recently becoming very popular i mean given the oppressive heat without in moscow the last couple of months or so the spectators from flocking about viruses to get a writ glimpse of formula one cars speeding around the kremlin and breakneck speeds and that which if there is a proper race would you say or is it more of an exhibition involving different kinds of cars as you know it certainly demonstrates you know to have her twenty six formula one car still not agreed here. trying doing a number of laps no sunday demonstration and giving the public a chance a rare inside really to watch formula one cars as it's a completely different experience actually standing by the track of what you would be rode on ice formula one cars or even the car champions become
7:25 am
a strong team have been so and so successful of a dakar event over the last decade because this year's listening is a completely different experience but something doesn't really transcend as well on the television and really it's when you see an event like this live it really says transcends so well into people's mindsets and you get so he was found. just to buy a formula one cars will become a struggling middle class because here you go to drift is showing them a new burning up atomic weight that science seems to suppress repeat but hopefully will be no repeat of what happened in two thousand and nine when he crashed into one of the sky there on the right we might think this is a regular occurrence or strikes around the world but particularly spaghetti call something in the region of one billion dollars so i'm sure it is very classic cars in particular to have emotional repeats of. their fingers crossed and they start to repeat since that which is even as you've been saying he's popular with many young people heading out onto the streets for the third year running now do you think
7:26 am
that moscow will one day actually host a full we don't want race for we know. there's a big chance of happening especially as motor sport is gaining in some popularity over the last decade and it's always been a little bit of it has become so much more popular especially of austria because of a bunch and so trying to race for the minutes trying to pull me here today he's a first russian driver to ever competed on the f one so kids and his rise to fame really has really really managed to make this whole much more populous so popular and fine but first back in march of bahrain two million russian do is choose indian to want the young russian take part of my race yes he certainly has raised the profile know in the part of moscow about staging an event yes specify every dispute possibility. its hopes in two thousand and twelve perhaps even trying here running round the crowd responded kremlin they could hold a formula one race i mean if you look at the great circuits from around the world
7:27 am
i'm going to see you have a long to college kid which is so well known and i'm sure if russia could hold a race here in moscow on this exact same circuit going around the kremlin but surely would rival the scenery russia also has a big ally bernie ecclestone who's the one. supreme and holds a lot of influence walt of formula one i mean he certainly wants to bring a race to moscow to the same house in two thousand and twelve east could happen as moscow and russia in particular is a very very important market for formula one given the amount of advertising i'm just basic popularity over motorsport and in particular formula one in russia. has had a have first my predictions for formula one race be held in moscow sometime soon for now which is ample many thanks for that report from red square. ok that is the way to be for this hour here all see more of course on my website twenty four seven but i'll be back in just a few moments from now with updates all while. machine
7:28 am
would be soon much brighter than if you knew about so many from phones to pressure in some. stunts on t.v.
7:29 am
don't come. within a said lines on the week's top stories this is the international threat members of two terrorist cells of the rest of the inspiration of planning attacks on mosques and receive both groups of the need to have links with global tempests a. startling statistics of three decades twenty five million deaths maybe sixty eight million in sections. of the international aids conference which starts today. could not confusion the u.s. media claims that in the rain in scientists who says he was abducted by american secret services was spying for washington. drawing all record high temperatures in the roster of calls and why it's.
