meaning tough times for farmers. hello and welcome to our t twenty four hour news live from moscow volatile main story dissenting views in the medical community over what causes aids have come into sharp focus in vienna in advance of a conference on the disease to be attended by twenty thousand delegates in the city over two thousand doctors have been attending a separate gathering challenging their established also that say that the hiv virus is the only cause of aids some of them say their views are ignored by a mainstream bought by a big pharmaceutical companies. that has more from the 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 when they've been holding their own talks things like the accuracy of the hate hiv test 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 this and as well as that test positive for hiv hiv so a positive or negative hiv test can mean the difference between so on being diagnosed with pneumonia or being diagnosed with aids if they're calling into question the reliability of this very important 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 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 today and over the next week they're extremely reluctant to even enter into a discussion about these alternative views. 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 drawing together 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're all here for as you said they're not even really willing to enter into a discussion and earlier my colleague on this habit spoke to experts currently in ghana alan burstein from the global vaccine enterprise and juliana satcher a doctor who questions definition of a child the scenery. and nobody could give me the paper. he is isolated in the way scientists. are asking for it since the seventy years since the seventy's the other thing is that there exist doesn't exist any paper. shows if a chevy is existing how it is doing a it's in the spatial situation is there data is a fully different thing as in the western countries so-called western countries and

the so-called developing cost in countries in africa. south america and so on so it is it doesn't fit in a norm of virus diseases because viruses. can make very few things they are not so intelligent to do so many things it doesn't fit in a viral cause ok let's see this is the best what's your reaction to that yeah. well a couple of points the first point to. has never been isolated well that's simply not true the virus has been isolated it's been molecularly quote. d.n.a. cloning technologies it's been sequenced literally thousands of times from different individuals infected with the virus so simply isn't ever an isolated secondly. nor the virus causes of you know deficiency it's also not

true we know very well how each of you works now let's just hear from dr spock oblique if we can i would say that it's true that hiv is cloned thousands of times but cloning means to take something from a clone if it is a clone you have to have the original and original is never never shown in any paper. there was actually ourselves accountable for the pain of the vietnam war still so today victims of the deadly chemical weapons agent orange are calling on washington to the let me of the toxic legacy of the poison spread over huge areas by american forces in vietnam. and the funny side of an indian comedy featuring the world's most wanted terrorist is not being seen in pakistan. eleven people have been killed and at least nine injured after a bus plunged off a cliff in a mountainous region of south set yet the bus was on its way to russia's southern

city of logic of cars when it felt left of the road and fell over sixty meters traffic officials say the crash may have been caused by bad driving as it's believed the bus was trying to overtake a lorry at the time it happened on the trans caucasian highway connecting russia's republic of north us a chair with south us at ten ga the driver is among those injured is in a critical condition. teenage suicide bomber gals were among eighty people arrested in a counter terror operation in the southern republic of dagestan guns grenade and lost whales were among the items found by russian security services with girls as young as fifteen saying they were trained by their dead terrorist husbands catarina out of all our ports. so young but deemed old enough one of the alleged terrorist in the russian republic of the is just fifteen years old that according to officials did not stop her from taking part in planning terrorist attacks she

and the other woman were allegedly trained by their husbands. my late husband left the guns here i've held a gun i know how to fire one but i've never done it i know how to use a grenade to. i'm fifteen years old and knew they were in the house i even held them played around with them and then put them back. they all say their handling of the weapons was just curiosity but the wills suicide belts and elements of disguise found in their homes seem to tell a different story the childish handwriting and 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 discreet these women rape them to deprive them of a better future in the muslim society of the caucasus their psychologically

shattered in our lives 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 bring to moscow the two female suicide bombers who in march two thousand and ten set 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 anti-terrorist committee is still searching for others involved in the deadly attacks but 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 to the top of the stump kenya to maintain their innocence at the terrorist believes it has more than enough evidence to make its case catherine is our arts boss. but a fractured relationship between the u.s. and iran hit another spike this week as the country's traded on occasions of

a new class scientist a mary the iranian expert who returned home on thursday says he was kidnapped by the cia held for fourteen months and tortured to reveal information about the country's nuclear program and he also claims he was also confessed to being an intelligence agent so the u.s. goes for him for three americans being held in iran on the spanish charges washington denies that's american media meanwhile has been poor. and mary was actually a u.s. spy for years working undercover as a terror on university person for looks into the case. the looming question in this case how did the iranian scientists or rama miry get to the united states one person has already answered that question sure amiri 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 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 for amiri arrived here monday night he told those inside he was quote brought here by his captors and demanded an immediate return to iran but 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 big heard about what this all means. other than knowledge that he has put videos up on the 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 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. in the program i'll see looks back at the history of nuclear bomb development on both sides of that line tech sixty five years since the first successful atomic test. this used to be a top secret nuclear facility but aside from these lines the entrance was guarded

by saudi and soldiers the airports even deep inside the causey a subtropical paradise. sweltering temperatures in a record breaking heat wave has forced a state of emergency in almost twenty regions across russia as reveling normally tries hallett's tony rich farmland into little more than a desert forcing farmers to see government support our correspondent sean thomas reports from the republic of truvada share just one of the many regions ravaged by the heat. 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 moon very most you see because of the on president of drought the crops are not delayed and they are empty the plants are underdeveloped they are good neither for grain nor for livestock street we have harvested almost everything by

now and it only covers about half of what we need to russia 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 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 growth 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 but really we have a problem no water yes a problem dripping at the base of your neighbor nearby you look no no no water no x. drawing the wells and many of the villages are 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 else. 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 which we are also thinking about sending under-performing cows those are you less than five to ten liters of milk to the slaughterhouse look at this situation however is further complicated by the fact that meat prices have dropped already but are not leaving many to hope for government intervention and financial support so they can get by. sean thomas marty. because i saw suffering from the heart of july week for almost fifty years all such as a sizzling temperatures reached a record high plus thirty five degrees centigrade which is ninety five degrees fahrenheit with no letup predicted by forecasters in a week while people not seeking relief from the boarding heat in lakes and rivers two hundred drawings have been reported across russia and the heat wave has also

caused almost a thousand wildfires nationwide. and also wherever you are in the wild tell us what you think is the best way to come. with soaring temperatures simply local into our home. so far the majority of us forty seven percent cited our walking around in that underwear to be the heat a small amount of but it said tenney that condition off to cool off seventeen percent preferred to stock up on ice cubes for drinks similarly desperate minority sticking their heads in the fridge so what you take to be a behavior let us know your peanuts you got home and the top stories. the u.s. has released confidential documents on the vietnam revealing deep divisions among

white house officials at the time of the conflicts it comes as the house of representatives has been discussing the impartial the deadly chemical weapons agent orange sprayed on volatile areas and civilians by american forces during the war. found out victims of war and the u.s. government to account for the chemicals toxic legacy as its impact is still felt today and even find some of the images in this 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 a normal life their deformities physical signs of human decay and although their parents were not even born until after the vietnam war eighteen million gallons of

toxic herbicide sprayed through jungles of south vietnam is still penetrating the d.n.a. of those being born today that may need marion said the baked into still lack and are suffering. illness a symptom cancerous the u.s. government has acknowledged agent orange is directly connected to the health ailments and defects that continue to plague the lives of vietnam war veterans for generations to come but the u.s. has worst used to make the same length for the millions of the enemies of war victims whose lives have been devastated as a result of agent orange they say that has nothing to do with agent orange i think that the u.s. government has the reason to deny it. which is why delegations are here in washington 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 will

stand 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 the justice for all 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. 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 done for months sent to manufactured agent orange in these jungles. washington d.c. . censors have also been at work in pakistan this week and new bollywood comedy featuring an osama bin laden lookalike has been banned so wishes were worse that a comic depiction of the world's most wanted man could trigger terrorist attacks

kyra saying when to ask those behind the indian 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 is not 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 board. of virgin london happens to be very very important character and this is a fair number of feet below. that of you using it's not intended to vote in any way anybody from any part of the world is going to enjoy this from i can guarantee you that it's a murder 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 were following in this to impede security way to attack me because nothing like that happened they wanted to shake my hand and take my autograph so i signed with love a summer. who plays the journalist is a pakistani singer and this is due for them how does it feel acting in an indian film set in pakistan. i would greatly appreciate your scene. people enjoy them so i mean to see a pakistani. 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 the film's distributers in pakistan the message of peace and not appealing the ban but i thought it was a nice film there's a lot of good humor from the name it sounds like a serious films but actually it turned out quite different so it's full of great jokes in tripoli that's. definitely quite a good film it 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. the selling point of this film is osama bin ladin but it's very tongue in cheek. to act the part in the. 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 would probably need a good sense of humor to appreciate the message got and seeing r.t. . and some other stories from around the world at least forty eight people have been killed and another fifty injured into a suicide bomb attack southwest of baghdad members of the sunni militia working with government forces against al qaida were targeted as they collect is their pay with others. separate base their worst at a time in a day against security forces involved in the last three months u.s. forces have already begun a phased withdrawal that to the iraqi military but there has been a sustained violence since inconclusive parliamentary elections in which. u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton has appealed to pakistani leaders for further

including the godfather of the atomic bomb j. robert oppenheimer were terrified by the power of the mushroom cloud. 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 lions the entrance was guarded by soviet soldiers the leprosy in deep inside 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 thousand nine hundred

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 a washington fierce competition between the us the saw in america to get hold of nuclear weapons was wrong and even though the us were the first to successfully carry out a nuclear test their rivals caught up pretty quickly chess if you hope to get them . to german city are 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 is a veteran of the sukhumi research institute he says many people here remember the time the germans successfully accomplished their mission and were led by the soviet authorities in the nine hundred fifty s. he's showing us the four thousand library with rare physics digests and german the

office where head professor used to work and the equipment 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 a pause. and a moment will bring your exclusive interview with historian helen rappaport about the tragic death of the last two russians on his final eight stay with us from.
