news from russia and around the world this is our national fatherhood thanks for joining us dissenting views in the medical community who causes aids have come into sharp focus in vienna in advance of a conference on the disease tibet and by twenty thousand democrats in the city over two thousand doctors have been attending a separate gathering are challenging the established that the h.i.v. virus is the only cause of aids some of them say their views are ignored by the mainstream backed by big pharmaceutical companies. has more of the capital there 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 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 the difference between so on being diagnosed with pneumonia or being diagnosed with aids so 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 shanta from the community resource foundation of the spoke to us 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 a teen 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 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 in 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're all here for as you said

they're not even really willing to enter into a discussion. my colleague alice had it spiked it is currently in vienna from the global vaccine and price and janet such as dr who questions the official hiv aids. and nobody could give me the paper. 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 hiv is existing how it is doing a. situation to use their data is a fairly different thing 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 the norm of virus diseases because viruses only

can make a very few things they are not so intelligent to do so many things it doesn't fit in a viral cause ok let's thompson 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 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 of every one of us or that secondly. nor knows the virus causes of you know deficiency it's also not true we know very well how it works now let's just hear it from doctors are completely 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. i was also on the program the intel government for the deadly bomb all ghastly while up to his demands the year the year was found blamed for the disaster over twenty five years ago is brought to justice. and also a religious controversy a clash between the trash and also saw an exhibition at least talkies actions of a return to song that style sounds. teenager but says side boma gals were among people arrested and a counter-terror operate in the southern russian republic of dagestan guns grenades 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 husbands catarina simon now reports. so young but deemed old enough one of the alleged terrorist

change 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. help i'm fifteen years old and you go again in the house i even help them played around 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're 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 the muslim society of the caucasus their psychologically shattered. now 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 bringing 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 of the discomfort continue to maintain their innocence but the terrorist committee

believes it has more than enough evidence to make its case catherine as are our team lost. so fractured relationship between the u.s. and iran has another five this week as the country's traded allegations of a new can a scientist a mary they ran an expert who returned home on saturday says he was kidnapped by the cia held for fourteen months and tortures to reveal information about the country's nuclear program and he also claims he was also to confess to being an intelligence agent so the u.s. could swoopy of course re americans being held in iran on a standoff charges washington denies this american museum meanwhile has reported that a mary was actually a u.s. spy for gang is working undercover as a to long university also has kristen for into the case 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 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 he claims he was tortured. a few hours later though this video is released you have a man who looks the same and also says he's 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 and 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 a pakistani embassies office representing iranian interests the old iranian embassy in washington since empty because there's no longer a diplomatic relationship between the united states and iran according to reports coming out of iran serang very 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 just 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 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 south r.t. and much more ahead for you now bulletin including

a roaring engines at my square russia's comes up at some of the world's top formula one drivers the rips through the heart of the moscow. the friendly nature of russia germany relations was. michael visited president that of this week the leaders in a light hearted mood seemed king to push forward the latest trend in international relations by diplomacy but i assure you when you let me draw your attention to the fact that germany's number one on the list to russia's. long time relations which has not been spoiled even by difficult. when it comes to russia and germany is relations with other countries it's not like us 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 them to problems it's useful for us to be able to discuss them together at their own for dialogue doesn't exist in 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 of also would like to read to read that this conference is no way should signalize a better relationship with president obama. well we had two options either through this go and eat some hamburgers we'd rather treat our friend to some kind of european. design as i think the burger will taste best for me. there are also drunks about to pull the psychic world cup octopus predicting germany's defeat of suggesting the mystic mollusks brother had been served out the dinner the night before but some of the smiles the two leaders did get some business done germany has agreed to provide russia with a range of technology including trains and wind turbines with siemens play a major role. so altering temperatures in a record breaking heat wave have forced a state of emergency in almost twenty regions across russia. shriveling of normally

dry spell is turning usually rich farmland into their more than a desert forcing farmers to seek government support our correspondent sean thomas reports from the republic of just one of the many regions around. 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 to our very most you see because of the unprecedented drought the crops are not related to money they are empty the plants are underdeveloped because they are good neither for grain nor for livestock we have harvested almost everything by now and it only covers about half of what we need to vosh is one of sixteen regions along the fall guys and girls 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 but we have a problem. with yes a problem with dripping at the base if you and i have been here that you would know new major new acts drawing the wells and many of the villages that 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. no food for people means even less food for animals causing farmers to take drastic measures just to make ends meet. maturity moves up 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 coyotes those are you less than five to ten

liters of milk to the slaughterhouse of 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. . so it also provides us suffering from the hottest july week for almost fifty games on saturday this is in temperatures reached a record high plus thirty five degrees centigrade which is ninety five degrees fahrenheit was not the top predicted by a full cost of the week while people are seeking relief from the boiling heat in lakes and rivers two hundred drownings have been reported across russia and the heat wave has also caused almost a thousand wildfires nationwide. and also wherever you are in the walls tell us what you think is the best way to cope with soaring temperatures simply no going to call and vote and so the bottom agility of you was forty four percent say they are walking around in that underway to brave the heat

a small amount of that is attending that conditioner up to cool off seventeen percent of products to stock on ice cubes for drinks on dissimulated desperate minority sticking their heads in the fridge so what's your take to be the heat notice now you're looking at aussie dot com and the top stories section. that claimed russian conductor and canister may help make me off as in thailand typing a quarter of a child sex. these charges this month tightly sickies of the statuary rape of a fourteen year old boy which he denies and his arrest following the detention of a thai citizen suspected of involvement in a prostitution ring the grammy award winning russian was freed on bail to allow him continue a world tour with his orchestra and he must return to thailand however every twelve

days if found guilty he could spend twenty years in jail. in one thousand nine hundred eighty four gas leaking from a pesticide factory in the indian city of the park caused a chemical disaster that killed thousands even today the toxic consequences consequences rather are being felt the indian government has now admitted it was wrong to secretly dump toxic waste but as artists come and sing found out activists want to hear from the american company that owns the plant. b.b. john lives opposite the old union carbide blonde granddaughter mozzie like many other children in the neighborhood was born with birth defects she may look four years old but she's actually seven you'd be a diety if you're willing she was born this way she can talk and walk properly and she's seven hear a song we've tried to treat her and have taken her to all the hospitals we can but she isn't getting better at being american based god but

a doubt chemicals that now owns union carbide refuses to clean up the factory premises where dozens of toxic waste are still being slowly going terminating 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 lying still in the sludge more we found it three kilometers downstream and we checked the groundwater we found now clearly this is unacceptable and there is no way that dow chemical stricken argued that it is not responsible for. this the indian government has agreed to pay more compensation to victims of the bhopal gas tragedy but the protests show no sign of letting up activists want the government to bring former union carbide boss what are now understand with 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 bring she wants to see anderson brought to justice. i think no one listens to this he said. if the government is incompetent we demand that those responsible approach justice and we receive adequate compensation. indians have reacted with fewer president barack obama's staff stance against b.p. they accuse the us of hypocrisy saying that the us is firms like b.p. polluting its environment but ignores mistakes by its companies abroad the media where they really are where thousands have died and have continued to suffer because of. the american government can we ask alice is to say we are very happy with this decision and we are glad that the matter is now the after effects of the world's worst industrial disaster are still taking their toll its 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. r.t. or bought. to organize as of a controversial arctic submission have been found guilty of inciting religious hatred and fined around twelve thousand dollars but critics say that the court punishment of mark's ever turned to solve it type says ship. us now for. a gross a million or an artistic license when these images went on display in two thousand and seven they oust wage russia's religious community and they put the curator and the museum director in the middle of a nasty tug of war over freedom of expression and ultranationalist 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 order but to

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 activists journalists 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 home the public if anyone disagrees they're free not to watch despite russia'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 for you today the court discovered a new type of ideological crime one that criticizes the church where the us state

is a secular one any exhibit of artworks where religious symbols are used in a non-religious context expressing other ideas is banned the judge in the case called the artwork a growth and of sense of humiliation to the viewer a sense of human dignity that she came short of handing down a prison sent. as for the pair still they have holes fives have some wondering if artistic freedom will be were placed church in post and stacey that r t let's not have some of the stars from around the globe at least forty eight people have been killed and over fifty injured into a suicide bomb attack southwest of baghdad members of a sunni militia working with government forces against al qaida what targeted us they collected that pain with others hate at a separate base they all there was to tocs and die again security forces in iraq in the last three months u.s. forces have already begun a phased withdrawal handing over to the iraqi military but there's been sustained violence since inconclusive parliamentary elections and which. u.s.

the bell is designed to prevent a repeat of the global financial crisis by curbing reckless trading by green driven bankers but greed rather dreary and bank is not surprisingly wall street isn't happy with wealthy donors now funding the republican party in opposition to president obama also his woman on the streets of new york the resident husband also bank is can they formed. 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 so everything goes to new york and so forth so i know a little regulation can only do good a lot of regulation you know 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 walking 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 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 you know

the end of the day. if they regulated to have a little more 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 dyad frank bill will actually accomplish anything the bottom line is we have to try something otherwise we're just death to. to make a mistake with this same dire consequence. and that a very short break will bring you. so stay with us for that. question

is that so much i was about to feed into if i was in a commitment to give a real commitment for years to renew the making our western ideas about economics trade even democracy in the balance and what model. you get every month we give you the future we help you understand how we'll get there and what tomorrow brings the best in science and technology from across russia and around the world to join us it's acknowledging update on our jeep wealthy british style olds that's not on this. current.
