heat wave we report from regions where severe drowned from almost without. a very warm welcome to you this is a hearty live from moscow with me on this have it 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 came the official theory that the hiv virus leads to aids is wrong they also say their view is the big ignored by mainstream backed by big pharmaceuticals. is more from the austrian capital. they're questioning the validity of the common assumptions that are often associated with hiv and aids and they also question the traditional means of treatment with the aid

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 defined as having a if they develop one of the twenty nine a finding diseases those 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 treatment now for more on this we can hear from journalist jane shenton from the community resource foundation the status about subject 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's extremely important to be challenging this hypothesis which of course is tied up with hundreds and billions of thousands of dollars of international money which have led to absolutely no result the people that are here at this conference leave the next week they're extremely reluctant to even enter into a discussion about these alternative views 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 provide universal access to hiv prevention which is what they all have called as we said that not even really willing to enter into the discussion. all plenty more to come for you on this hour including a racing round the credit. card events not be a mosque or 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. for this week a russian security services that broke all suspected terrorists out of the southern republicans up a stall and the homes of six arrested women one of them just fifteen years old they found suicide belts disguises and will two men were also detained one of whom is linked to the deadly matching blossom odds. reports. so young but deemed older not one of the alleged terrorists russian republic of

biggest is just fifteen years old that according to officials only did not stop her from taking part in planning terrorist attacks she and the other women were allegedly trained by their husbands but my late husband left the guns here i've held a gun i know how to fire one but i've never done it so i know how to use a grenade tune. that's what i'm fifteen years old and you go guns in the house i even have them played around them and then put them back the all say their handling of the weapons was just a city with the wills suicide belts and elements of disguise found in their homes seem to tell but different story the childish handwriting in hearts make it hard to believe these women were capable of the deadly deeds they are accused of many psychologists worldwide however believe it is easier to set women on such a destructive course because they are more vulnerable. to terrorists discreetness

women raped them deprive them of a better future in a muslim society of the caucuses there psychologically shattered and are left with no other choice but to become the kind of. 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 with these latest arrests officials say they are one step closer to finding not only the executers but the mastermind behind the entire operation all the people detained in the russian republic of the stump continue to maintain their innocence but the terrorist committee believes it has more than enough evidence to make its case catherine as our of our team last hour. just

a few days later three ethnic chechens were arrested in france and chaunge with conspiring with terrorists that they belong to the group led by infamous medicine can do it all while the rest to play thought the french police at the tip top by russian security services the suspects reportedly have firearms explosives out of moscow with mob locations of possible targets there believed to be linked to dr model one of the wings wanted medicine used as we suspected connections with al claimed a model who claimed responsibility for the organizing of the deadly moscow that job loss and knowledge is also blamed for many other attacks across russia in june the u.s. also puts him on a wanted list of international terrorists. an iranian a nuclear scientist who claims he with keke not by the cia a year ago were turned home on thursday schama knew he says he was tortured to give

up information about iran's nuclear program who also claims it was all to confess to being an intelligence agent that the u.s. could swap him for three american nationals held in iran on charges of espionage washington denies this but the american media and the wall are called to party hard to believe u.s. spying for years before his disappearance and last year. christine fazio looks into the case. of all minutes on one. side of us on. the looming question in this case how do the iranian scientists sure rama miry get to the united states one person has already answered that question sure amiri himself but his answer is completely contradict one another in this video a man who says he's 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 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 only 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 here 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. coming up in the program a nuclear race a sixty five. foot tall make text call to expound a story be a bomb development on both sides of the. a

state of emergency has been declared in central russia west of the a drought has ravaging crops devastating dry spell is turning a normally rich farmland into little more than a desolate correspondence on thomas went to the republican just one of the many weeks and suffering. a natural disaster is taking place in central 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 which were very much you see because of the unprecedented drought the crops are not late and 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 in this field of summer we 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 no water yes a problem dripping at the base. no no no water 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. most of the movies are blood 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. john thomas our team. almost is in the midst of his july week for almost fifty years also today the mercury hit thirty five degrees centigrade which is ninety five degrees fahrenheit and the sizzling temperatures in full cost to suit even. one consequence of this record breaking sama is an increase in the number of people traveling across russia the majority of victims seeking relief from the heat in the lakes and rivers and five five years of also been kept busy battling with a owls in a while to make sure know why and how do you cope with soaring temperatures were to log on salty dot com and let us know via our online vote well so far i can tell you

that the majority of us prefer will king around and then on the way a smaller number of votes is between days and stick their heads in the fridge and they stock up on the ice cubes to drink from the minority this is the air conditioner into overdrive what's your opinion on the. home of the top stories section. the wall when the russian conduct. is in thailand to appear in court of a child sex abuse charges earlier this month type he's accused of raping a fourteen year old boy they said they had received a tip from a time out and suspected of involvement in a prostitution ring denies all charges he was initially released on bad allowing

him to go on a world tour with his orchestra with the condition in thailand every twelve a day it's. in one nine hundred eighty four gas leaking from a pesticide a factory in the indian city of both caused a chemical disaster that killed thousands even today the toxic consequences are being felt indian government has now admitted it was wrong to secretly dump toxic waste but elegies karen saying found out activists want to hear from the american company that the plant. b.b. jon lives opposite the old union carbide plant granddaughter in the mozzie like many other children in the neighborhood who was born with birth defects she may look four years old but she's actually seven year period. she was born this way she can talk and walk and she's seven years old we've tried to treat her and have taken her to all the hospitals we can achieve isn't getting better. american based

company dark chemicals that now owns union carbide refuses to clean up the factory premises but downs of toxic waste are still being slowly contaminating the city's soil and water a study last year found the poison has seeped into nearby homes we found very very high levels of toxins we found high levels of mercury we found high levels of pesticides which the company had manufactured nine still in the sludge more we foundered three kilometers downstream and we checked the groundwater we found now clearly this is unacceptable and there is no way that dow chemical strawberry can argue that it is not responsible for this the indian government has agreed to pay more compensation to victims of the gas tragedy but the protests show no sign of letting up activists want the government to bring former union carbide boss what an anderson justice attempts by indian governments to extradite him from the us have

so far failed run b.r.d. job is ninety years old like many of the half a million people affected by the gas leak she suffers from cancer and finds it difficult to breathe she wants to see anderson brought to justice. no one listens to days he said today in his government is incompetent we demand that those responsible approach to justice and we receive adequate compensation. indians have reacted with. president barack obama stuff stance against b.p. they accuse the us of hypocrisy saying that we do is firms like be polluting its environment but ignores mistakes by its companies a broad media where thousands have died and have continued to suffer because of. the american government can be asked catalysis to say we are very happy with this decision and we are glad that the market is now over the after effects of the

world's worst industrial disaster are still taking their tool box community have daily reminders of the tragedy that happened here twenty five years ago but with no one willing to take responsibility it's a fight for accountability and justice the survivors won't give up on god and seeing our t. . coming out today n.r.c. special report looking at the stories of four u.s. soldiers haunted by that time on the battlefield call between their g.c. and their humanity. did i kill innocent. or was it a day of course and that's never a. sharp enough cosco. i think of it every day. i still have the flashback try to memorise. so much so that long time.

i was. i was ashamed that i. i was ashamed that i hadn't been a hero it was. just the way. forward. that i believe where i was going no ones or i think. that i was a good soldier. but you know most soldier on the other side and i think i'm just. now the solace of the atomic age sixty five years ago the u.s. won the race to produce a nuclear weapon america spend the modern day equivalent of about twenty billion dollars on the project in a bid to be self michel's he will say close to. all seasons alone skates pulls

the remaining relics of the sulfate unions plus the nucleus. 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 so many including the godfather of the atomic bomb j. robert oppenheimer were terrified by the power of the deadly mushroom cloud. cried both people were fairly the echo of that blast carried far beyond the atlantic and the soviet union experiments with nuclear energy were on the way too but just like the us and this research institute on the black sea coast the main roles were played by german scientists. this used to be

a top secret nuclear facility but aside from these lines the entrance was guarded by soviet soldiers the lab was hidden deep inside a pause 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 after world war two moved german physics and chemistry professors at almost no other option but to work for either moscow or washington if fierce competition between the us the saw 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 chess if you look at the bulletin the germans here thoroughly analyzed the us media reports about the blast

even from there they were able to say what had to be done next but. alexander church is a veteran of the sukhumi research institute he says many people here remember the time the germans successfully accomplished their mission and were let go 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 had 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

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 across the. now despite the record breaking temperatures here in most case he'd love us have turned out in full force that's because for the third year running the russian capital is giving some for me to want to live as the channels to speed around the wheels off the kremlin let's find out more from all call in loving correspondent richard poole beat which it's good to see you again say the drivers around us tell us is the what is all they wants the race all about today. most of it is all really about trying to raise awareness of motor sport and formula one in particular as it's been decades really since russians have the opportunity to host a major motor sport event but also gives the new generation especially some youngsters the opportunity to see formula one cars come on strong teams have been

so successful at a party dakar rally over the last decade or so the chance to see them with their own eyes just breakneck speeds up these formula one cars go out just the sounds and the atmosphere in general and i can tell you it's a completely different experience all the stars have been out in force as well we've had a jenson button this story enjoy most events and russia's very own batali patrol time he was saying it be wonderful in the future if russia could hold its own grown breed. list of course i want to vote us in grand prix here this is the way we can kill something like putting the little ones here first i'm just going to but i don't know with who win the pool be the hopes when i want to be the only one of these from that i wouldn't believe it's something that was. very key for me to come to the streets all the russian capital and calls plenty of all of them all seem incredibly exciting sit behind this event huge numbers turning out for the third year in a row see this so realistically which is one of the challenge would you the formula

one grand prix any time soon. but the chances are pretty high i mean despite very very hot temperatures fountains of people tens of thousands of people descended here. time running but also has been a minus but there's a distinct possibility by russia to hold a grand prix. in two thousand and twelve it would be a st st base race very similar to the one trying east here the same trying time it would really rival something like be able to call rome bridge over to the most famous. albeit one county for instance and most could get hold of bend here red square because friendly inspiring speech are all in the backdrop. as i was saying earlier only one really is growing in popularity and that's all has to do with entirely patrol the first day of a russian trip competed in the formula one race for his first race in fact in bahrain in back in march over two million viewers true didn't want to call russia

also has a very valuable ally in their quest for the one phrase amidst bernie ecclestone the formula one supreme a big boss and he really wants to bring a race to russia just because of a massive support amongst the people to hold a race here just because of a massive untapped market that russia could bring to formula one payment to many thanks to the update that was. reporting from central moscow for. the us the banking system is about to go through its biggest overhaul and i intend the frank bill is designed to prevent a repeat of the financial crisis and would limit risky trading activities but it's unpopular on wall street with wealthy donors beginning to direct more campaign contributions to the republican party. president finds out people in new york think bank is can be reformed.

the twenty three hundred page died frank bell is being regarded as the most significant financial legislation in almost 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 a little a lot. because like you said this is the world's financial structure right here right there think through new york and stuff like that so i know a little regulation can only do get 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 everything is about the next election and so people looking on to 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 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 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. whether or not you think the dad frank bell will actually accomplish anything the bottom line is we have to try something otherwise we're just desta. to
