speaking out against the conflict one he calls illegal and unjustifiable his advice to the government i was i would say listen some people just simply. people in the morning with. these conflicts. you know because of wills or fall off the wagon which was the message which fusion the song just want to start listening to public clinton joined the army in two thousand and four and fought for seven months in afghanistan he says he came home a changed man suffering symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder for which he claims he was bullied when he heard he was being sent back to afghanistan gone dead from the army and didn't come back for two years initially his military superiors were understanding but when joe spoke at an antiwar rally in london they upped his charges to desertion which carries a ten year prison sentence joe's mother says that exposes the hypocrisy of the conflict bringing democracy we've got freedom of speech we're fighting to introduce

a draft understanding the lock somebody up speaking of. the missing benton paid a price for his outspokenness in the notorious military jail the glass house he thinks the reason it wasn't longer was to avoid a public outcry which could have brought on an examination of the war he served his time along with other soldiers who he says were with him all the way on the stand he'd taken. i was so much support from from my fellow prisoners. and so much mildness. point when it was going to underlayers a dime it was fantastic so i think a fellow lawyer for the first night when. i was directing was so much for the. jews become the poster boy for the stop the war coalition. with a hero's welcome following his release from prison for someone they consider brave and principled well. he shouldn't be punished at all he's saying what everyone

believes and everyone knows who is not just on when it will it's. tax free for the people of afghanistan a more and more young british men and women are being sent out to risk their lives for a war that only the politicians support and even in private they know it's a disaster james glanton story is key because it comes straight from the front line as do the ninety thousand documents released this week showing the van this truce of a bloody conflicts and going by clinton's account of the support he received from the soldiers during his time in prison is dissent inside the armed forces something the government could have a hard time make nor nor and it's artsy london and parts of controversial immigration law in the u.s. state of arizona which faced accusations of racism have been blocked by a federal judge and you legislation have been designed to make illegal immigration a crime and penalize anyone helping undocumented workers or the giants drop the

crime part and requirement for immigrants to carry papers at all times the state government has vowed to appeal the changes and critics of the law say violate people's freedom while defenders argue rights have nothing to do with it my colleague spoke to both sides. it's a victory first and foremost for civil rights and human rights. so-called illegal immigrants are part of our community there are millions of people who are in the united states without authorization they live in our communities they they go to the schools with their children the members of synagogues and churches they part of the u.s. fabric and they should be treated with respect and dignity as a black man as a west african descendant of the slaves this is a slap in our face because what has happened is citizens of foreign countries have invaded my country the united states of america in which i have jurisdiction even in the days when i was a slave i was on the jurisdiction of the united states and these folks are coming to my country in the name ironically of people of color. my color skin color and

the civil rights of legacy and creating their struggle of whatever the suffering in mexico but the model with. their struggle is not to be equated with the struggle and slave ancestors and emancipated forefathers for them to come into my country and take my legacy is to rob me of everything that i am and if they get amnesty the black people in this country we will die because of the numbers that are coming in this country through the through the. of the fourteenth amendment you know you spoke about your kind of lack heritage and flavor and all of that yeah and you call yourself a very old rights activist activist here a black guy as most of the protests against the flock they've been if there's a raid if they show and this is the new federal rights there and the united states if that's true how can someone like you support this law i think for many people it seems like a contradiction here to business that united states had with the emancipated slaves

has never ever finished you see we blacks lead the country in every. country and every negative social statistic that there is we are not finished with us so how can these folks come into my country in the name of my civil rights and take it from us but i think it is right to the extent that he's suggesting that there are many injustices that are experienced by african american society that need to be addressed i think is fundamentally wrong. to suggest that had something to do with unauthorized immigrants being in the united states or people from mexico el salvador other countries being in the united states if he thinks he's going to. and injustices against african-americans by waging war effectively right by creating a repressive climate against human beings who happen to be born on the other side of the us mexico border he's wrong and he's fundamentally misguided in the sense that he's creating the same type of races climate but he says war we did not invade his country mexico. very you mark country and they are killing people but also we

need to make a united country that respects migrants first and foremost human beings and doesn't see. the words invaders they should be able to vote should be able to pay taxes they should be able to come out of the shadows and be full members of the community like everyone else. is joseph nevins and civil rights activist ted hayes talking to my colleague there so i have for you this hour here in the spy saga continue the u.s. figure starring on screen in the american media the summer. and stay with their team for a visit to the kaluga region the center of russia's science industry and a thriving place to do business. now the heat wave in the russian capital has been breaking records with temperatures approaching forty degrees celsius for nine days running it's thought to be the longest hot spell since records began more than one hundred thirty years ago it's been made worse by the harmful smog caused by

bonfires which has developed the city and doctors are urging people to stay indoors to avoid breathing difficulties caused by the rice and airborne pollution there's some good news on the horizon though with forecasters saying moscow could see some cooling down pours this weekend bought the hot temperatures are likely to stay until the beginning of next week at least. both hollywood and the media have been gripped by spy sagas this year hot on the heels of anna chapman and the other a model hari was arrested in the u.s. with thousands worth of hunting guns by going to education reports the lobby and born american citizen has fallen prey to the media's james bond fever. it seems the u.s. can't goob without a hot spy story this summer the banished then a chapman now another and there has. also in her twenty's this time are of a smuggler than a spy. and if i'm on

a vote was arrested in new york for trying to smuggle several state of the art night gunsight devices into russia she says she bought them online for her husband and his friends who happen to be friends of hunting there is no connection whatsoever between anna and. the folks that were reported back on july tenth and ne she's not a spy the government's not even saying that she's a spy this is just this is just the press trying to us and say show a lot as the story but to most american media she's yet another twenty something russian agent. in light of this season spy hype every russian woman in the u.s. seems to exude mystery. young maybe a schoolteacher and maybe a reporter doesn't matter what you do but the allure of a russian spies deal there and the women are the most think craig.

movie critics say the arrest of ten russian agents in the u.s. this summer was the best ant campaign possible for the latest movie with angelina jolie a russian spy story saw all too might have come across as a little outdated but after the arrest it appears fresh a new of the most challenging was speaking russian to very high level our beautiful powerful study of the f.b.i. could make a great gift to this movie and it's not the only one of the summer nights in date with tom cruise it's a favorite plots in hollywood but i think in the future they're going to be more comedies on spice rather than serious drama. real life spying is no joke but when a young attractive woman enters the picture things change. i was. intrigued and amused by the other times for sort of a pretty woman. there is this almost to fixation or the mata

peasants now but does america not san soo it's ok. and you watch the kaiser report in just fifteen minutes time here on r t but for that let's take a look at russia close up as we take you to another part of the world's biggest country. and today we're just two hundred kilometers from moscow in the cold. region the center of russian science and industry the country's largest scientific research complex develops high tack advances in engineering and electronics but the region can also boast a flourishing car industry with giants like volvo and w. having their joint ventures aimed at the number of cars a sample there grows every year providing jobs for thousands of. ex-pats who find the kaluga region a good place for business. for

a long time carlo has been primarily associated with. the maverick scientists from the end of the last century whining out of work on rockets the region was dropped. for an audience but what is good transportation leads to the capital that with a population of just over a million people the region has definitely room to grow today colloquies want to rush hotspots for an investment we met some of the exports managers working here to find out how they do that business and cope with their everyday lives here. renate may be afraid of horses but she's not afraid of horse power every day she handles one hundred forty and her husband harold drives just as many the to work of the full tree and were among the first expanse to settle down and. the only brazilian in cold everywhere i go and i say i'm from brazil you of course i get

this cheery people talk about football and. so it's always maybe in such a big city like you were just one more in a crowd and here you stand out especially as a foreigner we're talking as a foreigner here moving on to harold certainly turned hats locally when they drove the german car john's first fully russian made vehicle the production line the russians. paul. russia of will. being russian at the same time we see these reserve asian towards products made in russia so we work on that everybody. has the same quality as we use to form it's from germany from chiquita the company was an early bird to place its bets on the region bats worth one billion dollars on seven hundred tech tears and built

a whole industrial park something which would be unlikely closer to moscow juta higher costs are to come makers were haughton their taillights today home to bobo peugeot citroen and renault just recently is still stamping factory was open and now it caters for all folks margins car parts this is not just the biggest german investment in russia but also an example of a life asian it is no longer just a car assembly as it was four years ago this is the car parts are built with russian hands and ultimately will be built what the russians steve. unlike renate and harold welder sergei was born in ca longer but in a way he also stands out from his three thousand core leaks he was recruited from a local orphanage frequently out of work sergei says he's now driven to succeed but i want to stay and work here if they give me a chance to grow i would like to become a foreman and ultimately

a manager i see perspectives from my friends to more and more companies are opening up in the region which was. not who was behind the idea to employ orphans to set up a women's club and which among other projects to patronage of local orphanage is government does a lot and also private. but after eighteen years old they are on the streets and what can we do so if we give clothes one day it's worn out. so we thought that . beginning of project it's not about giving money or giving things but keeping it open to need for them to grow so does learning german in the hope that one day he will land his dream job eager to work and give something back to those that gave him a hand when he most needed it. even though the region has many call made because it doesn't want to become a new detroit culture is seeking to expand its production line for instance it's

not actively building industrial parks to talk war and peace plans are now joined by director of the regional development agency. helen thank you very much or maybe you would like to leave it in your detroit michigan no we don't want to live in you detroit never set this goal how do you persuade such giants all but to start the business from scratch and. no roads no infrastructure but for us to have started to build to construct these roads infrastructure but still it is really started to create industrial parks created good strong active team every time we are trying to be prepared for for example investors the market and what is your regions compared to other places in russia. you know the man who is our team as i already said but not on the team really opened

all of these each in wrestle really three years. where we are sure that we do it and to be real. do it right away in time thank you very much for that insight brown on behalf of the regional development agency from kabul good for russia close up. reporting there. well now it's time for the business of the. shares a pair of good news is always positive signs of the every nation in history as passenger numbers reach new heights oh that's right air traffic across the world has now risen higher than the pre-crisis levels up twelve percent in june the fastest growth coming from asia we'll have the details later in the program but first this hour robert dudley is in statements as chief executive of b.p. might come as a surprise to the shareholders of his russian venture to b.p.

a clash over management style so does lee effectively pushed out of the country two years ago but isn't over reports his rough ride in russia could now prove useful. the name bob dudley prompts mixed memories in russia his departure from the post of t.n.t. b.p.c. accused of acting against the interests of russian shareholders back in two thousand and eight left a bitter taste but no one would underestimate his part in building russia's third largest oil producer nor his managerial skills is the right person for the job right now for b.p. clearly the situation to b.p. is in command of a change at the top it's quite obvious that b.p. is not going to be able to address the problems in the united states with tony hayward still in charge so to that extent changing hayward was no choice bob dudley of course a lot being made of the fact that he is american and knows that region well but also you know the fact that he was the chief executive of b.p.

during a very contentious period of their company's history in two thousand and eight that he has the right credentials perhaps to take on this challenge for b.p. particularly in the united states and the task is stuff dudley will have to reestablish trust and drive the company back from the edge by raising up to thirty billion in funds but that's not going to happen by selling the russian assets. important to be p. from every perspective. from the actual results from. first of the year coming out of p.m.k. today over two billion profit just sort of underscores now as the chief executive mr dudley will have no choice but to spend considerable or energy and effort there's no way this can sort of be delegated bob actually was became kind of a scapegoat boy a lot of people at b.p. quite frankly for the dispute that he is now taking over as

captain of the ship and we'll be alternately responsible for b.p.'s posture policies negotiations with the russian government on this russian partners. it will end up being one of the great corporate stories to be told as for the outgoing c.e.o. of b.p. tony hayward he's going to be nominations for board seat at b.p. and always say the reshuffle will not recur and will dispute heywood's post does not executive director won't require his presence in russia and any greater role for him in the russo british consortium has already been ruled out. business r.t. . tunnels have a look at how the markets are doing in moscow both poles are climbing in to try to the benchmark my sex putting on zero point five percent and energy stocks which retreat is in the previous session leading with bonds is up more than one percent
