live on the brink say getting treatment can be a battle in itself tests are still your report. alexy bullock is hiv positive is just one of about a million people infected with the virus in russia alone a country the u.n. says with one of the fastest growing rates of hiv in the world and i have to live with hiv and that involves a lot of difficult things not just physical but also social and psychological sometimes and refused treatment and i have to fight against that while alexy and others like him continue to fight their battles all they're really looking for is a cure it's already been a long way for those with the virus and respite doesn't seem to be anywhere inside just yet. the main issue at this point we don't even know which part of the virus causes immune deficiency that's why research is argue about the type of vaccine needed scientists and doctors have been trying to find

a remedy since hiv was identified in the early one nine hundred eighty s. but they've only managed to come up with preventive treatments and medication that slows down the degenerative process of the virus. there are more than twenty five types of drugs with clinical proof that they are effective if a person takes an early they suppress the virus preventing it from spreading the person doesn't get. this point there is no drug that could destroy the virus completely. one of those clinically approved drugs is dying or a.z.t. a type of antiretroviral drug use for the treatment of hiv and aids joan shandon of immunity resource foundation is strongly against such treatment 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 that that is well documented so it's extremely important to be challenging this hypothesis there are almost thirty two million people in the world with him.

the or aids and more than one million deaths this year alone international organizations are calling it a pandemic but there are those who stand against this belief and are challenging the very fact we've come to accept as truth they say well but the majority believes those you should just follow i'm sorry to say science is not a majority vote science it's a free competition of the best arguments and verifiable arguments it is very fibro that there is no epidemic and it is very fiber of that aids treatment today is just less toxic than in the early ninety's and i would call for an open. press the best arguments organizers of the eighteenth international aids conference being held this week in vienna see it's a gathering of individuals committed to ending what they've classified as a pandemic for alexei he'd rather not get his hopes up all he wants are the facts. i don't expect to see any breakthrough in this conference i just hope that it will

be made clear as to where we are in the vaccine because we needed it yesterday tests are syria r t moscow. now world leaders aren't doing enough to ensure hiv positive people get the treatment they desperately need and that's the message from julio mountain air the president of the international aid society he was speaking of the ongoing aids conference in vienna which is calling for an a and a treatment discriminations care for is there for us. the really cool aid all the tests accurate and all of the eight treatments but these are just some of the extremely controversial questions that it being asked by challenging the mainstream hiv aids at the age of twenty ten conference and its second day here in vienna and nobody could give me the paper where. it is isolated in the way 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 it and the special situation to use there is a fully different thing in the western countries so according to western countries and the so-called development cost in countries in africa. south america and so on so it is it doesn't fit in a normal virus. because viruses. can make very few things over the twenty five thousand people attending the official conference these have been met with extreme skepticism and criticism and as we've seen in the culture addict it has never been isolated well that's simply not true. it's been more closely 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 it's never been isolated certainly. nor the virus causes of you know deficiency it's also not true we know very well how each of you works. yesterday was very much based on the conference which is right here right now so we had them. underlining the importance of success was the will be resting on a successful response on an individual level so we had lots about the needs to address and marginalization stigmatize ation especially among high risk groups i know russia in particular was mentioned here served through valence of hiv and injecting drug users and the need for greater resources to be put in things such as needle exchange programs so the debate will remain ongoing for this week and it's not a need to say since aids came to the public attention in the one nine hundred eighty

s. there were people who openly oppose the mainstream visas we can see that continues but for the people that are attending this official conference at the main focus really is what they're saying are these life saving treatments and making sure these reach the biggest number possible in the funding is that from the governments of the different countries to provide this universal access to the hague hiv prevention treatment. so our first reporting there from vienna you're watching r.t. live from moscow on the way. find out why the use of drones by the u.s. military keeps coming under fire and dance in just a few minutes here in our team. the story of a teenager who committed suicide after being caned at school was pushing india to criminalize corporal punishment physical penalties are still widely used by

teachers in the country despite being illegal current saying has more. this is one of india's worst kept secrets the prevalence of corporal punishment in schools but the recent suicide of thirteen year old grungy rival has brought the practice out into the open a student at the prestigious la martiniere for boys school in kolkata hanged himself at home earlier this year after being gained at school after spending months juicing the school for answers his father has filed a police complaint against the three teachers he says were involved i think that they were after him for a long while and i think he was so long as he was getting an individual. but if i may use the word he was able to take it but when they all descended on him at the same time. i don't think. i don't think his young mind could have that much animosity. elimination from his friends the school's principal

has admitted killing rwanda but says this was not responsible for his. the case has set off a public outcry largely because it occurred in one of india's most elite schools but most cases of corporal punishment take place in government run schools and go largely unrecorded ten year old monte is often beaten when he doesn't complete his homework on time. and not the teacher and tries to teach us that when we don't learn she hates us and sometimes cry when i get it it's very important to have that sensitivity to understand as to what is going in the child's mind or what is happening for which the child has not completed his do work in time and then we address those issues putting the blame on the child or hitting the child with the state clearly doesn't solve any purpose one either the child would become too used to this kind of a punishment and the effect would go off or else the child who's very sensitive and

anxious by predisposition would feel very very vulnerable a supreme court judgment in two thousand prohibited corporal punishment in or let's films in india to have it die hard many teachers and even some parents still believe in the need for discipline to keep bible i believe movie like if your child doesn't do his homework even after reminding him repeatedly then we have to discipline them we don't want to hit them but we get angry sometimes because we're taking so much effort to teach them so sometimes we are forced to hit them with all fifty children in the class teachers often resort to beating them to control their large numbers you hear words like phrases like it's a theatre of war out there. teachers are sometimes frightened to go into class because there is such a lack of respect and. it's very hard to with an inverted

commas control the class or discipline that's but discipline is a two way process so not only do you train the teachers you've also got to make the students understand that there is a code of conduct but for one loving father there can be no arguments about corporal punishment there's a law against it there's no debate if you let people get your kids there will be a monster who will take out his first mission on your child and you will not be able to see it. it's not open to discussion nobody has the budgetary nobody you god give them to us to love not for some go to beat them up one father's crusade for justice is the new spotlight on corporal punishment which is illegal but still common in indian schools one wonders how many more children will have to suffer before more humane methods of disciplining them are enforced got and seeing r.d.

nearly. hispanic groups in the us are calling for reform of the country's immigration system and an end to unjust policies artie said down with journalist and human rights activist jorge ramos who claims immigrants don't have enough representation. latinos are on the represent a politically. we are fifteen percent of the population and we only have one senator that has to change this is it is incredible that the most powerful country in the world is persecuting and discriminating against eleven million people so again there's a lot of misinformation on the contributions of immigrants to this country and unfortunately when there is an economic crisis like the one we're facing right now immigrants are being blamed for for everything that's wrong with your sponsor from crime to unemployment and it's simply not for. now watch the full interview with jorge ramos next hour here on our team in the meantime sales of drones are taking off in

a big way internationally raising fears it will lead to increased warfare peace activists claim the relatively cheap and easy access to the weapons could also potentially harm innocent civilians parties guided to count looks into the growing unmanned trend in the u.s. and its consequences. the come out of the blue i have two words for you predator drones i will never see it coming a drone nice ten times cheaper than a fighter jet it requires no pilot so there are no troop deaths to explain it's the perfect weapon for covered cia operations in countries like pakistan and afghanistan if things go wrong you can deny it all place and things do go wrong studies by independent international experts suggest that for every militant killed as many as fifteen civilians also die there's no way of getting exact numbers the cia keeps its drones program under wraps but the united nations and other

international police agency question the legality of the extensive use of the weapon it becomes different when you come to a sort of undeclared war with organizations which are. like ok delegate ali baba and you go off to persians you say day we suspect we say they are terrorists but who has proven that the person you're actually targeting the to terrorists. they're not they're not in uniform but humanitarian concerns seem to be doing little to dampen surging international demand for groans also known as unmanned aerial vehicles or u.a.e. vs the military appetite is such that the market is expected to grow to a staggering fifty five billion dollars in ten years from now with the advances in technology they depersonalize warfare and so therefore you have people war willing to use them and you have people that don't understand the consequences because the

people who are flying the drones are not on the battlefield they're not in the plane they're thousands of miles away and when they caused the structure they don't feel it here in washington d.c. suburb but the are a drone operator wake up in the morning in the family goodbye come to the office and shoot at targets thousands of miles away from here and go back home no risk look forward especially say the whole operation reminds the media ok the question many ask is if it is so easy and convenient we'll get our m.p. way to move more in the future if war is cheap why not use the bit more pressure against the smaller countries and organizations touch in other cases it will try to sit around with the cable with and talk it over simon vet saman has produced a research report on drones with the european parliament among his concerns are the consequences of terrorists getting hold of such weapons
