shattered and i lived with no other choice but to become cannon fodder one of the men detained in the same raid is accused of something even more tangible than planning future attacks bringing to moscow the two female suicide bombers who in march two thousand and ten sit off explosions in the metro the two blasts within twenty minutes of each other took place during morning rush hour forty people died and nearly two hundred more were injured russia's antiterrorist committee is still searching for others involved in the deadly attacks but these latest arrests officials say they were once took closer to finding not only the executers but the mastermind behind the entire operation all the people detained in the russian republic of the discomfort continue to maintain their innocence but the terrorist committee believes it has more than enough evidence to make its case catherine is our arts boss. and just a few days later three ethnic tensions were arrested in france and with conspiring

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 they were not preventing him from returning to iraq this building is the pakistani embassies office representing iranian interests 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 sure amiri arrived 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 through fear of chaos in 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 is now r t. this hour including bracing a round the kremlin. heard events not be a street racing is taking place here in the russian capital just a stone's throw away from the kremlin featuring some of the top stars from the world of formula one. do you think that was 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 agreement to their personalities as

nor for livestock feet 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 this field of summer wheat should be about chest high on me in 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. yes a problem dripping at the base of. no no no it's drawing the wells and many of the villages have run dry forcing those who live here to make long tracks 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 else. no food for people

means even less food for animals causing farmers to take drastic measures just to make ends meet. mr to move. we are already thinking about reducing our cattle stock we are selling this year's calves to individuals which we are also thinking about sending under-performing cows those are you less than five to ten liters of milk to the slaughterhouse at 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. sean thomas r.t. . well most of moscow is in the midst of the hoss's july week for almost fifty years on saturday the mercury hit thirty five degrees centigrade which is a ninety five degrees fahrenheit and this is in temperatures of four calls to soar even further one consequence of this record breaking summer is an increase in the

a scientific clash over the cause and treatment of a design unfolding as a major conference on the disease takes place in vienna a group of over two thousand doctors claim the official theory that the hiv virus leads to aids is wrong they also say their views are being ignored by mainstream backed by big pharmaceuticals well for more. biology sarah firth who's in the austrian capital for us. there's an established view of aids but it was of the scientists you challenged that you claiming. well they feel that people are being misled and misinformed so they're questioning the validity of the common assumptions that are often associated with hiv and aids now these are things that many of us would take its facts such as that the sexually transmitted disease and they also question the traditional means of treatment with the with the aids with the drugs treatment not some of the more specific questions that they've raised in

the last couple of days prior to the official conference and they've been holding their own talks things like the accuracy of the hague hiv test now as a person is to find as having a if they develop one of the twenty nine a finding diseases now these are things such as pneumonia and tuberculosis and as well as that test positive for hiv so a positive or negative hiv test can mean the difference between someone being diagnosed with pneumonia or being diagnosed with aids if they're calling into question the reliability of this very important test another thing they've been talking about is about the safety and effectiveness of the aids drug treatments now for more on this we can hear from journalist jane shenton from the community resource foundation of the status about subjects. conventional treatment has actually caused the death of a whole generation of young gay men in america when they were on the high doses of aids their t.

that is well documented not one single young man or woman and there were a few women who took the high doses of aids their d. has survived many many others have survived who haven't taken the antiviral and many have survived who have taken antivirals at times to damp down what essentially is an immune suppression for many many different reasons so it extruding really important to be challenging this hypothesis which of course is tied up with hundreds of billions of thousands of dollars of international money which have led to absolutely no result also or how all the participants of the conference that started stay reacting to these theories. well we've heard from the people that are supporting these alternative views saying that they're often met with extremely fierce criticism and skepticism from the wider medical community and certainly the

people that are here at this conference today and over the next week they're extremely reluctant to even enter into a discussion about these alternative and we've been trying to talk to some of the people that are here but they're really focused on the agenda of this conference and they're saying that this conference is about growing together with the best of the medical minds in the global community and really focusing on ways in which to provide universal access to hiv prevention which is what they're all here for thirty thirty years we've as we said they're not even really willing to enter into a discussion about these alternative views this is one of the things that the groups holding these these are saying is that they're all there in the medical profession they have to be said that the people who tended the unofficial talks over the last couple of days tend to be tended to be more from different areas of the scientific community community into homeopathy and psychological psychological professions whereas the people that are gathered here today of biologists and here to discuss the latest developments in the field of hiv aids he

said this conference that is really about pooling their resources and their knowledge to come up with a plan moving forward thank you sara many thanks live update that was our first reporting for us from vienna. to organizers of a controversial auto exhibition in moscow have been found guilty of inciting religious hatred the prosecution said the show who called the arts insulted human dignity but many others say the decision is simply a return to soviet era censorship. business report. a gross humiliation or an artistic license when these images went on display in two thousand and seven they oust wage rush's religious community and they put the curator and the museum director and the middle of a nasty tug of war over freedom of expression and ultranationalist thousand complaint and so began a fourteen month trial on charges of inciting religious hatred through

controversial works of cricket it was not the church that initiated this prosecution but the people who are offended by the investigation proved to that the yard at this exhibit was offensive towards believers and insight into religious hatred throughout the trial artist rights activist journalist and opposition members fiercely fought to have the charges dropped warning that such attempts at censorship could lead to the return of soviet era constraints dictated by a conservative and politically powerful church this prefers most likely is an attempt to apply censorship to art it's a field where things are allowed it doesn't harm the public if anyone disagrees they're free not to watch and despite rush's cultural minister insisting the artist did not cross the red line of law the judge disagreed finding the pair guilty and fining them around twelve thousand dollars today the court discovered

a new type of ideological crime one that criticizes the church although a state is a secular one an exhibit of art works where religious symbols are used in a non-religious context expressing other ideas is banned the judge in the case called the artwork a gross and of sense of humiliation to the viewer a sense of human dignity that she came short of handing down a prison sentence for the pair still they impose five have so wondering if artistic freedoms will be replaced by a church imposed danders so stephen's r.t. . all services have also been a work of pakistan this week bollywood comedy. bin ladden the like has been burned off our civil war i thought a comic to pictures of the world's most wanted man could trick a terrorist attacks counseling went behind the comedy if the world is really ready for post nine eleven. this could well be the biggest scoop of my career

interviewing the world's most wanted terrorist however this man does not have a twenty five million dollar reward on his head in fact he's not or some of bin laden but an actor in a bollywood for their new bin ladin or without you lot in but just in case you think this is a movie glorifying a terrorist it is a general sort of. biography it's a film which is on the post nine eleven world of which bin laden happens to be a very very important character and this is a fair number of feet bin ladin and that's how we're using it's not insensitive or offensive in any way and anybody from any part of the world is going to enjoy this from i can guarantee you that it's american comedy set in pakistan where the young journalist is fixated with going to america and he decided to stick it to get there is an interview with osama bin laden so he goes about creating a fake or. using a lookalike. they had to keep the twenty five year old actor under wraps

to prevent making the film. had gone to shopping mall in order to promote this film and there was a commotion there a crowd of more than a hundred people gathered so we will fall in this time pete was curious the way to attack me because nothing like it happened they wanted to shake my hand and take my autograph so i signed with love a summer. elisa who plays the journalist is a pakistani singer and this is did you film how does it feel acting in an indian film set in pakistan in pakistan bollywood films of greatly appreciate your scene. people enjoy them so i mean to see your pakistani in a bollywood film is something very refreshing and new for them but pakistan's firm censors have banned the movie saying it mocks security agencies. and screening it in public could trigger violence films distributers in pakistan the message of

peace and not appealing the ban but i felt it was nice film there's a lot of good humor from the name it sounds like a serious film but actually it turned out quite different so it's full of great jokes. that's. definitely quite a good film people will definitely like it mind my students to come and watch it and they will like it there's nothing here that will incite people to mind. the selling point of this film is osama bin laden but it's very tongue in cheek. to act the part. i challenge you america there will be retribution holding just an evil actions you have committed in the countries like iraq and afghanistan so these you will have to pay a heavy price when i first heard about this film i thought it was going to be a lot of vacation but actually it's quite irrelevant in the way pakistanis and muslims are looked at with suspicion in the west today and how the media could be fooled into believing something that doesn't exist i think this film could do well

in south asia but western audiences will probably need a good sense of humor to appreciate the message about and seeing r.t. . the us has released confidential documents from the vietnam war showing bases divisions among white house officials at the time of the conflict it comes as hearings were held in the house of representatives on the impact of the deadly chemical weapons aren't victims the us government to fully acknowledge the chemical toxic legacy you may find some of the images in jihad habitants report disturbing. i was born with and with too late and missing a hand it is because of america's chemical war against her people in the jungles of vietnam that has left tran in these conditions she is a victim of agent orange second generation tran is one of many her story represents millions living in the shadows of a lasting legacy. these kids will never live

following a report issued by lawmakers scientists and doctors calling on the u.s. government to own up to its agent orange legacy in vietnam today also people then me government records show nearly ninety five percent of all u.s. agent orange related aid is committed to efforts to contain and remove dioxin contamination we asked it just based on the victims those fighting for justice in the case of vietnamese agent orange victims want the physical and psychological damages to be acknowledged with. the dark legacy left behind by the u.s. in vietnam is one with millions of human face. says their struggle three decades in the making will not end with money from the u.s. government but it could ease the pain the u.s. has been ignoring scented dumped a month sent to manufactured agent orange in these jungles to have hospice our team washington d.c. . next hour what are poor form of toxic waste costing thousands of.

a formula won the grand prix. all things to be honest i was very very positive it was a press conference today. it was actually stated that russia may be able to hold us for may want to vent as early as two thousand and twelve perhaps even on this very trying honey if you look at some most famous street circuits in the little bit of the calo in one of her lines incredibly famous but i mean if russia was a whole debate here just a backdrop for the kremlin the brits square that would be fantastic indeed i know there's a massive following of motorsport around in particular over the one in russia for instance the tally is out of control of russia's first private sort of the taken part in the formula one championship two million people around russia turn b. in to watch his first race in the bahrain back in march but russia mimic quest to hold a day full of want to bet they have a very big backer on their side as bernie ecclestone the heads of the screamo formula one who really wants to try and bring russian home and i want my own kids just because there is
