let him hear me this is artie warm welcome if you just joined us this hour it's kevin irwin here with the top stories for you and struggling homeowners traveled for miles and queued for over twenty four hours to get free advice being offered by a mortgage advocacy group in washington d.c. they say the government's aid programs failed them despite talk of an end to the financial crisis more than three hundred thousand homes are still repossessed every month in the united states. these are the faces behind the crisis we're waiting and hoping and praying to but we can decide to help everybody really help you know to help and that's what we're looking for help the desperate voices of those who have reached the end of the line for him to land what time nine thirty nine thirty last night and if you sleep here. gondola nichrome naomi lawrence took several buses from florida eighteen hours then arrived at the

washington d.c. convention center thursday morning waiting thirty hours to get in oh you've been our boy it's tat and we don't have no place to go and bathroom. but they waited anyway for a chance to restructure the mortgages on their homes all part of the save the dream tour good you need to go put on by the neighborhood assistance corporation of america earth or natca this is a look at foreclosure activity around the united states during the last year the height of it came in march of this year but never once did it fall below three hundred thousand homes in a month everybody here has tried to work with their lender and it's failed c.e.o. bruce marks calls himself a financial terrorist and with the help of many volunteers works with people to help them they get counseling and meet with lenders to come up with an affordable mortgage or to lower their interest rate or both not everyone qualifies but everyone is at least promised an answer the where in adjustable rate mortgage rates

just keep going up and there's this one believable natca targets people with nowhere else to turn more dish basically is out of reach so i'm actually so choosing whether to keep or pay more ditch. so there are also targets the neos of big banks who they say caused this crisis five protesting outside their houses putting furniture. on their lawns they also protest inside the capitol even though congress wants to pretend that there's no crisis out there and repression obama wants to pretend that. the fact of the matter is it's just as bad and it's not getting better deborah phillips told her daughters it was president obama they were here for. the white house that's all they've been talking about saying obama but. i guess that we're not trying to let them understand it's a struggle shared by everyone here in varying degrees. paying our bills we had to

all and when we say helped means that their mortgages are modified either the interest level is reduced or the in some way the terms of payment are made more affordable for people but by and large the services so-called mortgage services who work with the banks are really controlling the process the government is not imposing rules here they're not really offering debt relief to people as they do to people in other countries so we have a situation where the foreclosure crisis could lead to a million new foreclosures this year. see this find out who present evidence that it may be of rand's greatest with surgery. and also ahead who wants to live forever those willing to place not just their face but also their brains and bodies in the hands of scientists in the hope of resurrection.

first the women in a study or face the highest gender pay gap in the entire european union according to a new report they earn an average of thirty percent less than their male counterparts and with most politicians turning a blind eye to the problem women are often scared to speak out against inequality. today the sun is shining on olga it's a break from our hard working life earning money to raise her son but as a single mom she has to swear to town to the factory just to bring in a meager pay packet just let the dogs it's thirty three degrees celsius in their workshop but our employees don't care if you try to stand up for your rights they'll point you to the door if you don't like it here you're free to leave it's very hard to find a job here in a still when you're there for put up with working in slave like conditions but still only has one of europe's worst pay gaps between men and women studies say women get paid seventeen percent less than men on average but in

a stone year it's as much as thirty percent people think that we don't have the problem is that there is there where ness of the problem and and the problem that people don't have their gender lenses how to say to see when there is an inequality going on. it goes much further than wages so-called segregation in the economy means women often remain in lower paid jobs like health care and education while men dominate the more lucrative private sector experts say that's not just infer that it's bad for business if for example a concrete to woman feels that she cannot to the job or cannot take up the career that she would lie and she she has a talent for that and of course this is some human resource loss to their corner there also appears to be an ethnic dimension which as soon as large russian minority receiving lower paid and there is still only in counterparts and ethnic

russian women come out bottom of the list it's a structural a show in the labor market. that. russian speaking we mean the they are perhaps working in the sectors where the pages where the wages are especially low and this. of course increase. their pick up even more whether it's over it's in a city or gender it's stereotypes that have been identified as one of the root causes of inequality in green latitudes of what to seen as the proper roles mon women should perform a passed down through generations the government says it's trying to weed them out but it's going to take time. i would submit. the problems there is no point of. hiding the problems that your country faces it is a lengthy process and. and they said to use of people to not change

overnight are all good though it's simply a case of double standards. at the national i think if our prime minister was peed myself even if he didn't have to pay the utilities i don't think it would last him a week children and parents are enjoying the summer sun behind me but for many estonian women it's a rare luxury and with gender stereotypes dying hard it could be years before stoning women catch up with their male counterparts tom barton artie stoner. hard rock music and shaking ukrainian city of sevastopol words and annual international show gets into gear this year is first of all adam expect gas revving up to earth of katrina. one thing can be said for certain about the russian prime minister he certainly knows how to make an entrance arriving at the bike show that is taking place in the ukrainian region of the crimea just outside of the ukrainian city of sevastopol the russian prime minister made his entrance like all of the

other people here did on a bike admittedly it was the first time that he was seen any public on a motorcycle and he speaking to the crowds here later said that it was an experience that he very much enjoyed specifically because of course the bike is very much associated with freedom and the free journey that most bikers do experience when they take to the roads and of course everybody here very excited to hear that they greeted with cheers they have received reacted to responded to everything that he said all of the wishes that he bestowed upon them and thanked them for inviting him to this very event this annual event that takes place in the ukrainian region of the crimea. is the most democratic means of transport there are of course some high points. today but on the whole bike so widely available and it's possible to say you soon. has the most courageous adventurous and the fastest means of transport and what's most important it gives

the owner of the bike the sweet feeling of freedom so without any exaggeration we can openly say that the bike is a symbol of freedom. every year bikers from around the world gather here driving down to spend a few days in the crimean sun by the lake just have some fun enjoy each other's company and this year was and it was one of those who shared that freedom and that joy with them of course in this speech he touched upon many prominent issues of course thanking first of all the ukrainian government for making such a thing as the bike show possible and making it a possibility to happen of course congratulating everybody not only with this event but with the up. the russian navy which craniums and the russians according to him will be celebrating together of course the russian black sea fleet is stationed just a few kilometers away from here on the black sea in the city of sevastopol and if

you wish me the parade is scheduled to take place tomorrow morning on sunday morning so a great event most of the people here will actually move over to the city to watch the parade to take part in the festivities all in all of very happy occasion making his mark left just the way he came on a bike. but no matter how much the russian prime minister enjoyed his day in the saddle the sunglasses normally made way for more sober attire a bit later this would remove putin got down to business with ukraine's president the leaders met for talks in the latest show the relations between the two countries. just a few minutes to seeking inspiration from the installations. we've been taking a walk on the wild side finding out how to. make. maybe the stuff of horror movies good returning from the dead is also

a dream for one it clearly could russia is offering clients the chance to put their brains and bodies on ice until science advances enough to let them outsmart the grim reaper. visited what is the only facility of its time. sylvester stallone put death on ice in the science fiction film demolition man freezing his body to be awakened in the future. and more than a decade later muscovite blood is lovable chink oh is it tempted to have his immortality on earth and his mind heaven can wait my parents had a mixed reaction to this my mom thinks it's a stupid waste of money most of my friends support me in this decision because they are also procrit iyonix he's paying thirty thousand dollars to have his body stored after he dies at the clinic near moscow which freezes humans in the hopes of future

is that the taishan it's the only facility of its kind outside the us and so far the clinics body count stands at four and the head of aid refrigerated gas are stored in this liquid nitrogen filled of that cracker with says it can't make any promises but this one might just be a way to get and take to one life if science catches up with imagination they'll be transferred to new bodies the cost of a simple brain freeze is ten thousand dollars even if we can reverse ventilation right now if we can preserve the structure of the information about the process then we can still potential revive him in the future while some in a scientific community support investing in cryogenics they believe major advances in the field are a long way off controlling the thawing process is a major challenge but nothing compared to bring someone back to life. the problem at hand is resuscitation it's biological death and irreversible derangement. but if

the future can bring ms lazarus of the icebox back to life what does he hope to do . my immediate goal is to fly somewhere to a star closest to us. for veges live and in. that's mean and what seems impossible today may be worthwhile and many tomorrow. r.t. . it seems relations between russia and iran are rapidly heading downhill president mahmoud ahmadinejad's accused me to my advantage of being a spokesman for the enemies of iran i would have if you had insisted that rand wants to continue its friendship with moscow but he claimed that russia's recent statements on iran's nuclear program were quote an advert for america's propaganda drama russia and iran have long been political and economic partners however recently moscow backs u.s. proposed sanctions against iran the west fears the country's working on nuclear weapons but today our insistence on the pursuing peaceful energy needed goosen for

the mosque and state university of international relations believes this latest statement the iranian president simply trying to score points among the radical population in the country. i think that behind such aggressive rhetoric there is an agenda judd's desire to unite the section of the iranian society he relies on this section is not conservative but rather militaristic and i'm a dinner doesn't reject any tools to reach his goals he blames western countries russia he blames some arabic countries for conspiring against the islamic republic but the next time he could say that everything's fine in relations with his partners. for several years i'm a degenerate has been using the same tactics of aggressive rhetoric and despite all the protests on the streets of tehran he is still in power the methods he uses in foreign policy help him to stay in office. thoughts of the story too from vladimir some from the institute of world economy and international relations here in moscow who believe despite the harsh comments towards russia the kremlin will still insist

on dialogue. i don't think that the russian reality on the relations will deteriorate significantly because we still have for very big economic relations with our wider audience partner the bush era tomic power project is going to be completed. probably next month for northam so i don't think that there will be drastic was running all very economic relations as well as political relations between iran and the russian federation i don't see it suppose that there will be the very strong reaction of behalf of moscow towards iranian statements because moscow is still thinking that iran will actually be negotiating the iranian nuclear program and most were still hoping that iran we'll be listening to the voices for for reason. that's why i don't think that the reaction i want to

have a musket will be very strong. to eighteen minutes past eleven at night here in moscow let me take you through some international news in brief and at least fifteen people being crushed to death in a stampede at the love parade music festival in the german city of duisburg it happened when police tried to block a tunnel that prevent overcrowding despite the situation being described by authorities as chaotic the festival is continuing its one of europe's largest techno music events attracting fans from all over. north korea has escalated its threatened response to join us south korean military exercises this weekend saying it's prepared to use a nuclear deterrent it's the latest in a series of threats from the isolated nation following an international report blaming the north the sinking a southern warship in march something pyongyang strongly denies china criticized the planned war games warning against any action which might exacerbate regional tensions. palestinians and pro palestinian activists have clashed with israeli

and they have people are just not that sometimes people in giving lecture three hours to the city but it's a two day still plenty of times that people wish instead of the dysfunction. coming down. when you down and everything is against you all you need is love that's according to the american doctor who joins are going off in the spotlight studio for that program coming up shortly after the weekend business next. walk into business the much anticipated results of the european bank stress tests are out seven of europe's ninety one largest banks failed the exam which was intended to reveal which institutions would not be able to survive a sustained economic downturn or sovereign default the banks which were found wanted including germany's hyper real estate which is no government owned following a bailout eighty eight bank of greece and full regional spanish lenders

a number of other banks only passed the tests narrowly on the loyalty to face more pressure to increase their capitalization the government in countries with suspect institutions say they're ready to help the braes more money the european markets have not yet had the opportunity to cause their verdict as the result came out of the close of the market. if you are spanx struggles when markets open on monday this is likely to feed through into russia but according to peter westin chief just just at out on it may represent a boring opportunity for investors. the exposure of the russian banks to the forced out european countries plus ireland is two point seven billion dollars a thousand times almost less than what they see the european banks they will be punished the russian stock banking stocks will be punished but it probably will be punished and justifiably so do if you do see that negative reaction in the financials and you do see russian banks fall in with them and in fact creates another buying opportunity of russian financials. stock markets here in moscow had

international air show ended with nearly fifty billion dollars worth of deals last year's paris air show was disastrous in terms of orders as the aerospace industry was hit by the financial crisis many believe this year's u.k. vente the recovery of the civil aircraft industry but then a question of what has the details. this is via downturn in the civil avocation industry is the deal signed in found bros speak for themselves at nearly fifty billion dollars worth compared to seven billion at the paris air show last year the star of the show was the boeing seven hundred seven dreamliner made from composite materials in manufacture and claims that planes for the next eighteen years will be more adult on this design this is a test airplane number three you know we will start it by their own plane by the end of the year and we're told that the first customer to launch custom a japanese airline and they will get the first dreamliner this year russian civil aircraft maker has had a particularly good airshow signing of
