a very warm welcome to see this is r.t. live from moscow with me honest habit international activists a lodging out of world leaders for failing in their promises to do more to treat people with a time b. the criticism comes during the aids conference which is underway in vienna calling for an end to treatment discrimination is there for us. but you see already the funding's been a big topic of the last couple of days and this thirty being concerned that some countries such as the us is seen as perhaps we can in their commitment to funding and now we've heard arguments such as the hiv aids is they funded these are being called false arguments is that there's really much much more that needs to be done the still many people who are not receiving what people here are saying a life saving treatments and this is another really big issue here is this access universal access to hate hiv prevention treatments now we've heard today

a former u.s. president bill clinton speaking and he's called for the hatred d.n.a. so can i say she has to really ensure that there is sufficient in the delivery of the services rather than complaining and perhaps about the fact that there's not enough funding to ensure that money is not being wasted anywhere specially in light of the economic situation that many of the speakers have been very powerful in the message and that's that everyone has a right to this treatment and health care shouldn't be an option this dependent on a price tag and certainly that's what forms the basis of this conference this week is this issue of human rights so it's really focusing on this on an individual level and actually be organized. that the prerequisite of team rights that fundamental human rights issues are addressed is going to be the basis of what actually forms a successful response overrule to the problem of hiv and aids so there's a lot of people are trying to get their voices heard and talking about the reality of living with the condition and what still needs to be done and of course in the

days prior to the official conference we heard from the other side which is a great book perhaps challenging the official definition stage of it and also the standard treatments the standard drugs treatments those accordant question those saying that there are alternatives out there the people who have tried these alternative methods and that's maybe something that should be discussed. bit of a conflict there between the mainstream view on the way to approach the situation and the alternative. opinion on that every fact that we hear over the coming week this all represents an individual that is living with hiv and it's their reality so universal access still very much in everyone's minds that. we can hear now from my colleague. he went to meet someone he's living with hiv and. alexi bullock is hiv positive he's 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 social and psychological sometimes i 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 and they suppress the virus preventing it from spreading the person doesn't. matter at 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. 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 and that is well documented so it externally 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 are calling it a pandemic but there are those who stand against this belief and are challenging the very facts we've come to accept as truth. the majority believe 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 verifiable that there is no epidemic and it is very far of that today is just less toxic than in the early nineties and i would call for an open. 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 of the moment. i don't expect to see any breakthrough in peace conference i just hope that it will be made clear as to where we are to regarding the vaccine because we needed it yesterday. r.t. moscow. from vienna there now corporal punishment in

schools may seem like an out of date disciplining tool but it india is still widely used as despite being banned for a decade and of charan singh reports claims that teachers are being violent towards children of. 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 martin here for boys school in kolkata who 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 think that they were after him for a long way limiting he was so long as he was giving them individual. battling if i may use the word he was able to take it but when the order descended on him at the

same time the thing. i don't think is young man could have that much animosity. mission from his friends the school's principal has admitted killing rules but says this was not responsible for his. case to 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 mounties often beat him when he doesn't complete his all merch on time. teacher and 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. and then we address those issues putting the blame on the child or hitting the child with

a stick really 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 or supreme court judgement in two thousand. in oil it firms in india habits die hard many teachers and even some parents still believe in the need for discipline. i believe money 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 hear 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 a 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 log in st there's no debate if you let people hear your kids there will be a monster who will take out his frustrations and you will not be able to save your child. it's not open to discussion nobody has that they could but. nobody you god gave them to us to love not for some go to beat them up. one justice is. punishment which is illegal but still call money into the schools one

wonders how many more children will have to suffer before more humane methods of disciplining them in forced out and seeing already knew that. on the way seen america's a player playing a fire. that you don't know but will machine the now to face seriously why and find out why in a few minutes. the. american astronaut to fly on a joint international space mission all celebrating the flights at. the soyuz the. a new era of cooperation between the powered rifles. the mosque a space museum explain. the two countries were fiercely battling each other for control over space and this was the mission that ended that conflict and started

a cooperated era in space in fact the two space agencies had to build a special module that would connect these two craft one designed by the united states the apollo module and the soyuz module together so that they could actually dock in space and the two teams the team of three with dick slate and tom stafford and then also vance brand from united states and then in the united states. from the u.s.s.r. they all work together for six months and then they went in space on july seventeenth they docked and spent forty four hours together conducting experiments eating together and doing things together specifically one of the things that they did was they actually used at the apollo module from the united states and maneuvered it in front of the sun so that the u.s.s.r. could take pictures of the sun for scientific research so really working together and starting a brand new era in space exploration and. it was thirty five years ago today that those two ships left each other then the soyuz model spent an extra five days in

space the apollo module spent another nine days in space and they went on their ways but again very important symbolism between the two countries and starting a new era of relations well incredibly significant from a country relations standpoint how it's being marked today is the prime minister vladimir putin has actually met with the surviving members of both of the teams the cosmonauts and the astronauts and the astronauts are actually coming here to the morial museum where they will be celebrated they will have a chance to reminisce shake hands once again and be together and kind of relive that historic moment for people and of course a little celebration afterwards as well. billionaire is suing christie's auction house allegedly a fake. victim paid nearly three million dollars for this painting. by it's called. to be by the russian artist. if there is then several russian bedsit concluded that the forgery. now wants his money back as well as

damages from christie's on the grounds of misrepresentation and negligence and de paul he's a senior editor of the mosque website says this could seriously affect christie's credibility with russia. christie said an internal investigation generates in the results or at least not results which of satisfied folks. over the weekend. would be to force their hands to get them into a courtroom and so far all they've said is that this is a master taking very seriously and they will investigate it accordingly clearly it won't help if they are found to think. they're helping a number of scandals in the world over the past several hundred years almost as long as people from painting. christie's and so that we suppose come through price fixing scandals in the. passed it won't put them out of business but obviously it will power

a knock on effect on credible particular in this market. now cells of drawings are taking off in a big way internationally raising fears that would lead to increased warfare peace activists claim the relatively cheap and easy access to the weapons could also potentially harm innocent civilians are these damages you can look into the growing on trend in the us and its consequences. the comment out of the blue i have two words for you predator drugs. you will never see it coming a drone is 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 the taliban and you go after persians you say day we suspect we say they are terrorists but who has proven that the person you're actually targeting terrorists. that they're not they're not in uniform but humanitarian concerns seem to be doing little to dampen surging international demand for drones 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 structured they don't feel it here in washington d.c. suburbs. the drone operator wake up in the morning family goodbye come to the office and shoot at target thousands of miles away from here and go back home no risk or forward especially say the whole operation reminds the media again the question many ask is if it is so easy and convenient we'll get our m.p. we can move forward in the future if war was cheap why not use that for trash against the smaller countries and organizations to show it on a case you would try to sit around with the cable with and talk it over simon vets

him and has produced a research report on druce with the european parliament among his concerns are the consequences of terrorists getting hold of such weapons a scenario sunlight likened to real life but deadly robot wars demonstrators outside cia headquarters at the start of the year protested against indiscriminate killings by unmanned weaponry they say that rather than winning wars drones merely make more enemies by killing mostly innocent people are fueling rather than quelling insurgency ganesh again r t washington d.c. . now hispanic groups in the us a calling for reform of the country's immigration system and an end to unjust policies of human rights activists the hordes of almost immigrants don't have a nuff 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 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 fortunately 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. the full interview with. around fifteen minutes time to stay tuned for that now a grammy award winning russian that pianist a conductor is appearing in court in thailand on child sex charges if found guilty . could spend up to twenty years in jail. the thai police detain the musician for allegedly raping a fourteen year old boy which he denies fifteen year old but was then freed on bail continuing world's top. court hearings every twelve days pianistic claims his

well to business the top story this hour the government is heading for a potential showdown with the kooky industrial sector in the russian economy it wants to raise taxes for results extractors including oil and metals companies but energy in morning firms especially from a fiercely resisting the proposal for more details on job across from the medina cochon over from go for a quart of remorse but do you know what's the government talking to achieve with these tax proposals. while the state's aim is to raise enough capital to pluck at the existing budget deficit and the target is the mineral resources sector which is the most established in the russia's economy as it provides around sixty percent of the state budget revenue for the biggest advocates for the new tax regime is over russia's finance minister aleksey couldn't purchase that russia needs to raise the mineral extraction taxes by around ten to fifteen percent but he's also willing to keep some tax breaks for other industries which are weaker and in which development

of this state is interested like pharmaceuticals to high tax for example but when it comes to oil and gas companies he doesn't seem to be ready for any compromise. goes from is making its objections felt why does it think the change will be so harmful. well that's correct to do state is planning to raise the existing tax by ten to fifteen percent and for a company like gas problem it may cost around twelve billion dollars and of course gazprom opposes anything other than a minimum gas extraction tax he said of the gazprom says the that it's capital expenditure is huge and it needs all cash it may get but according to several experts we spoke to gazprom scares the cabinet by saying it may run into gas shortages if its capital expenditure is good. well the cabinets much of a clear they have to do something with the existing budget deficit and according to

of course we're far from we'll see the state is most likely to push through with their proposed tax plan despite any objections. we believe that the finance ministry view will prevail the worst they will try and increase the tax take from extractive industries in general and look to give some tax breaks into industries new industries that the government wants to grow such as technology and pharmaceuticals i'm sort of the food and culture and she's alternately we believe that's what we're going to see it's just going to be a question of what the balance in extractive industries is going to be. obviously the new tax regime in russia is going to be the biggest issue up this summer and we may see some intensive debate at the governmental meeting later on july the thirtieth. that was our correspondent in a culture from headquarters thank you. time to check out the stock markets now russia remains high in afternoon trade energy stocks are rising as the price of
