you're watching aren't you going to live from moscow eleven am here on marina joshua welcome to the program now for decades the world's greatest scientific minds have been fighting a war with a deadly disease but there's still no cure inside caused by the age hiv virus aids has already claimed the lives of millions but some who are forced to live on the brink say getting treatment can be a battle in itself tests are cilia reports. alexi 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. i have to live with hiv and that involves a lot of difficult things not just physical but also sorry short and psychological sometimes i refuse 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 and they suppress the virus preventing it from spreading the person doesn't get to 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 drugs used 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 . 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 hiv or aids and more than one million deaths this year alone international organizations caught are. we get a pandemic but there are those who stand against this belief and are challenging the very fact we've come to accept as truth there is a well of a the majority believes those you should just follow i'm sorry to say science is not the majority vote science is 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. to test 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 regarding the vaccine because we needed it yes today. r.t. moscow and war leaders aren't doing enough to ensure eight highly positive people gather treatment they desperately need that's the message from julio montaner nair the president of the international aid society he was speaking at the ongoing aids conference indiana which is calling for an answer to treatment discrimination sarah ferguson is there for us. the really cool 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 and

aids at the age of twenty ten conference and its second day here in vienna and nobody could give me the paper where. is isolated in the way scientists. are asking for it since the seventy's and 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 and the special situation use there is a fully difference. in the western countries so according to western countries and the so-called development cost in countries in africa. or south america and so on so it doesn't fit in the norm of virus. because viruses only you can make very few things over the twenty five thousand people attending the official

conference these have been met with. and question as we seen in the contradict it has never been isolated well that's simply not true. it's been more clear we 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 knows 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 focused on the team at this year's conference which is right here right now so we had them. underlining the importance of success response to hiv will be resting on a successful response on an individual level so you heard lots about the needs to address and marginalization stigmatize ation especially among high risk groups and

the russia in particular was mentioned here through valence of hiv 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 is not a need to date 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 in these life saving treatments and making sure these meet the biggest number possible in the funding is from the governments of the different countries to provide this universal access to the hague hiv prevention treatment. sara first reporting there from vienna and on the way here in r.t.e. . find out why the use

of drones by the u.s. military keeps coming under fire and out in just a few minutes. in the meantime the story of a teenager who committed suicide after being caned at school is pushing india to criminalize corporal punishment physical penalties are still widely used by teachers in the country despite being a legal car and saying has more. this is one of india's worst kept secrets the prevalence of corporal punishment in schools but the recent suicide of a thirteen year old rival has brought the practice out into the open a student at the prestigious law martin here for boys school in kolkata move on g. hanged himself at home earlier this year after being gained at school after spending months just in 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 way limiting he was so long as he was giving them individual. battering if i

may use the word he was able to take it but when they all descended on him at the same time that i don't thing. i don't think his young mind could handle that much animosity. elimination from his friends the school's principal has admitted killing rule ranjeet but says this was not responsible for his will say the case has set off a public outcry largely because it occurred in one of india's and most elite schools but most cases of corporal punishment take place in government run schools and go largely unrecorded ten year old mounties often beaten when he doesn't complete his homework on time. that the teacher tries to teach us but 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 on this we

address two issues putting the blame on the child or hitting the child with the state clearly doesn't solve any press one either the child would become too used to this kind of 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 punishment in early films in india but what habits die hard many teachers and even some parents still believe in the need for discipline. but believe me like if a 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 or fifty children in our 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 in inverted commas control the class or discipline 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 hear your kids there will be a monster who will take out his frustrations on your child and you will not be able to save your child it's not open to discussion nobody has the budgetary nobody you god gave them to us to love not for some go to beat them up.

one father's crusade for justice is a new sport played on corporal punishment which is illegal but still call money in indian schools one wonders how many more children will have to suffer before more humane methods of disciplining them are inforced gotten seeing already knew that hispanic groups in the u.s. are calling for reform of the country's immigration system and a man's 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 represented politically we are fifteen percent of the population and we only have one senator that has to change this is it is incredible but 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 the sponsor from

crime to unemployment and it's simply not for. you and i can watch the full interview with jorge ramos in an hour's time here in our team. our 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 are she's gone and she can look into the growing a man trained in the u.s. and its consequences. the come out of the blue i have two words for you predator drugs i you'll never see it coming a drew 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 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 you know that ali baba and you go off the persians you say hey we suspect we say they are terrorists but who have 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. where they cause to structure they don't feel it here in washington d.c. suburbs but the are a drone operator wake up in the morning in the family by coming to the office and shoot at targets thousands of miles away from here and go back home no risk look forward to specialists 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. when we move forward in the future if war is cheap why not use that for pressure against the smaller countries and organizations such you know the case you would
