hello and welcome to our t twenty four hour news live from moscow our top story dissenting views in the medical community of what causes aids have come into sharp focus in vienna in advance of a conference on the disease to their tended by twenty thousand delegates and the city over two thousand doctors who have been attending a separate gathering are challenging those tablets to orthodoxy that the h.r.t. virus is the only cause of aids some of them say their views are ignored by a mainstream backed by the big pharmaceutical companies. has more from the capital for their 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 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 hate hiv test

a person's defined as having a if they develop one of the twenty nine a finding diseases those are things such as pneumonia and. and as well as that test positive for hiv so a positive or negative hiv test can mean that if it's between saw and being diagnosed with pneumonia or being diagnosed with aids so 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 journalists. from the community resource foundation of the spoke to us 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 there that is well documented not one single young man or woman then there were a few women who took the high doses of aids there. he has survived many many others

have survived who haven't taken the antivirals 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. the next week they're extremely reluctant to even enter into a discussion about these alternative theories 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 the thirty 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're all here for as we said they're not even really willing to enter into

a discussion. and alan my colleague alice had spoke to. ghana allan the last time from the global aids vaccine enterprise and gene anastacia a doctor actually questions that a theory. and nobody could give me the paper where he is isolated in the way the scientists. are asking for it since the seventy years since the seventy's the other thing is that there doesn't exist any paper. shows if a chevy is existing how it is doing a. situation to use their data is a fairly different thing is in 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 the 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 say mr burstein 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 the luck of the cloned using d.n.a. cloning technologies it's been sequenced literally thousands of times from different individuals infected with the virus. simply isn't true so it's never been a sort of secondly. normal virus causes of you know the first and see is also not true we know very well how it works now let's just hear from dr zachary 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. you know we'll see and still to come in the program the pain of the vietnam still fell today victims of the deadly chemical weapon agent orange are calling on washington to full advantage 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. teenage would bases side bomb a girls were among eight people arrested and a counter terror operation in the southern republic of dagestan guns grenades and lost whales were among the items found by russian security services was girls as young as fifteen saying they were trained by their dead terrorist husbands catarina as are now reports. so young but deemed old enough one of the alleged

terrorist teams in the russian republic of the gets them 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 you go again in the house i even help them played around 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 their cues to have many psychologists worldwide however believe it is easier to set women on such

a destructive course because they are more vulnerable. to terrorists disgraced these women raped them deprived them of a better future in the muslim society of the caucasus there's. psychologically shattered and i left 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 people detained in the russian republic the continue to maintain their innocence but the terrorist believes it has more than

enough evidence to make its case catherine is our of our team last hour. fractured relationship between the u.s. and iran to hit another spy this week as the country's traded allegations of a new class scientist ameri 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 asked to confess to being an intelligence agent so the you ask that small plane for three americans being held in iran on a spanish charges washington denies this american media meanwhile has reported that our mary was actually a u.s. spy for yaz working undercover as a test on university christian friends our mix into the case the looming question in this case how did the iranian scientists sure all 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. says he's in tucson arizona and was kidnapped by agents from the cia and saudi arabian intelligence agency which. 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 that we're 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 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 the 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 freeze out r t and later in the program also looks

by the history of nuclear bomb development on both sides of that line take sixty five years says the first successful atomic test. this used to be a top secret nuclear facility but aside from these lawyers. the entrance was guarded by soviet soldiers. deep inside the a subtropical paradise. there claimed a russian conductor and pianist to help like no others in thailand to appear in court over child sex abuse charges earlier this month tied these accuse him of the statutory rape of a fourteen year old boy which he denies his arrest followed the detention of a thai citizen suspected of involvement in a prostitution ring the grammy award winning russian was freed on bail tarring him continue a world tour with his orchestra and must return to thailand however every twelve days if found guilty he would spend twenty years in jail. so trying to embitter is in a record breaking heat wave that has forced a state of emergency in almost twenty regions across russia as crops are shriveling

the abnormally dry spell is turning usually rich farmland into little more than a desert forcing farmers to see government support our correspondent sean thomas reports now from the republic of to russia 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 which were very much you see because of the on president a 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. it 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 no water yes a problem dripping at the base. no no no water no extra 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're 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. thomas r.t. . so suffering from the hottest july week for almost fifty years on saturday this is in temperatures reached a record high of fifty five degrees centigrade which is ninety five degrees fahrenheit now last predicted by a full cost is within a week while he's been seeking relief from the boiling heat in lakes and rivers two hundred drownings have been reported across russia on the heat wave has also caused almost a thousand francs nationwide. and also whoever you are in the world tell us what you think is the best way to cope with soaring temperatures simply logo. dot com invited and so far the majority of viewers forty four percent say they are walking

around the now under way to be paid a small amount of tanning their acquisition are opt to cool off seventeen percent prefer to stock up on ice cubes for drinks and to seemingly desperate minority are sticking their heads in the fridge which you seem to be they need let us know you want to hear at home in the top stories. the u.s. has revealed confidential documents on the we have no war revealing deep divisions among white house officials at the time of the conflict it comes as the house of representatives has been discussing the impact of the deadly chemical weapons agent orange sprayed on vost areas and civilians by american forces during the war and as a two hundred half it's found out that the u.s.

government to fully account for the chemicals toxic legacy as it seemed back to still felt today you might find some of the images in this report disturbing. i was born without too late 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 the jungles of south vietnam is still penetrating. the d.n.a. of those being born today there are many millions to baked into still alive are suffering. illnesses ok to us 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 words used to make the same length for the millions of vietnamese 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 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 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 faces their struggle three decades in the making will not end with money from the u.s. governments but it could ease the pain the u.s. has been ignoring scented dumped a month sent to manufactured agent orange in these jungles. our team washington d.c. . sensors have also been at work in pakistan this week and new bollywood comedy featuring an osama bin laden lookalike has been bombed also issues where war that's a comic depiction of the world's most wanted man could trigger a terrorist attacks his current saying when tossed those behind the indian comedy the wall is really ready for post nine eleven humor. 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 osama bin laden

but an actor in a bollywood 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 laden and that's how you'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 look alike. they had to keep the twenty five year old actor under wraps to prevent making the film. gone to shopping mall in noida to

promote this film and there was a commotion there get a crowd of more than a hundred people gathered so we were full in this time pete. nothing like. they wanted to shake my hand and take my autograph so i signed up with someone. who plays the journalist is a pakistani singer and this is debut film how does it feel acting in an indian film set in pakistan and in pakistan bollywood films are greatly appreciated they are seen. people enjoy them and so i mean to see a pakistani. something very refreshing and new for that. movie saying it mocks security agencies. and spinning it in public could trigger violence action films distributors and box stuff and call it a message of peace and not appealing the band much of a humor i thought it was

a nice little would be good idea as a lot of good humor and being allowed to name it sounds like a serious film is going to actually be good for it turned out quite different certainly great job in tripoli that he achieved we had a lot differently to getting ill it was definitely a like it i like to do is to come and watch it and they will like it but there's nothing here that will incite at some minds as to believe that the selling point of this film is osama bin ladin but it's very tongue in cheek so i asked to act the part in the. i challenge you america there will be retribution holding just evil actions you have committed in other countries like iraq and afghanistan for these you will have to pay a heavy price. when i first heard about this film i thought it was going to be a beautification looked at it but actually it's quite irrelevant in the way pakistanis are 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 saying r.t.

. let's not check some other news stories from around the globe at least eight people have been killed and other sticks to entered into suicide bomb attacks southwest of baghdad members of the sunni militia working with government forces against al qaida were targeted as the connections that pain with others hate to separate brains otherwise to tonks and the dragon security forces in iraq in the last three months us forces have already begun a phased withdrawal. handing out of it to the iraqi military crackdown has been sustained balance and is inconclusive parliamentary elections in march. u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton has appealed to pakistani leaders for our cooperation on the afghan war for a trip to islamabad she witnessed the signing of the new. deal between the two need to show third place to half a billion dollars in new development aid for pakistan who is an american financed to us involvement in the who has been growing however fueled by

a record monthly death toll of one hundred three coalition troops. the start of their tonic age sixty five years ago the us has won the race to produce a nuclear weapon america spend the modern day equivalent of about twenty billion dollars on the project in the big to be tough it's not the tribals who are also stick racing at all he's done is the landscape knows they remain relics of the soviet union's push from supremacy. 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 atomic bomb j. robert oppenheimer were terrified by the power of the deadly mushroom cloud.

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 us and this research institute on the black sea coast the main roles were played by jurymen scientists. this used to be a top secret nuclear facility but aside from these lines the entrance was guarded by soviet soldiers the lab will see it in deep inside a posse 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 caused 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 hope to get the bullets the germans here 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 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 now days people rarely visit these dark hole ways sixty years after the beginning of the nuclear era this . ways 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 cause. you're up to date and on the back of the headlines shortly followed by an exclusive interview with historian hannan rob aport about the execution of the last russian ximenes phone that stems from around.
