investigators say a blow most in some of the ranks of the injured thus he could have been the way the

ultimately did legs millicent behind mom of two months to metro bombings police in the capital all fine and. russian brings together ghana stands as you can down a focused to discuss how to tell people and drug traffickers and terrorism in central asia with the at least seen as the major cool's of instabilities. classes are held every day despite the time of year and weather conditions right now it's extremely hot here but as you can see the troops are fully dressed in their uniforms still have to get used to it since this is what they'll have to wear all the job takes you to the frontline of the anti drugs funding for the goals of troops come training for the mission and. i started to look at american history and politics and realize that my whole life put a bit like two. ideals gone sour hundreds of u.s.

nationals feel the american dream has failed them and choose to denounce their citizenship. a very warm welcome see this is the line from the russian capital with me on his head but police in moscow have been put on a high state of alert over three is a car bomb and russia's north caucuses could signal more its hands on because. pittel a chechen militant leader linked to al qaeda is suspected of being behind the blast in the telling of people which injured around thirty people when investigators know who owned the car which was loaded with explosives outside the city center cafe who cased of the money is on the road although he's not a suspect he won't for victims of the blast have been taken to moscow to undergo operations are up to twenty five people remain in hospital. from where our

correspondent on the news reports we're at the exact street where the car exploded and this is where the cafe it was just yesterday this is a very business street in a small particles it's packed with a little cafes and it was still rain that prevented many more people from being even it started just a half an hour before the explosion so destroyed wasn't asked crowded as usual the car that was packed here are was left without a driver but it contains up to forty kilos of t.n.t. just imagine ten times the last in mound of explosives was enough to kill four two people in moscow metro lives in march it is claimed that it's belongs to local guy was identified but hasn't been found here you can see that people are cleaning the

area right now they're cutting the trees down you can see how massive that impact was the whole area is blogs and people were shocked when they heard the blast some even thought there was an earthquake so huge and happy it was here heard from some of them. my shop is near the site of the explosion i didn't have the words to express how i feel i've just been there shop is mostly glass no the glass has literally turned to dust. it's a miracle a shop assistant is that i have seen her in hospital she's covered in blood and unsure she says when the blast struck she ran out of the shop and lost consciousness right on the tram line. up to see if people had been taken to hospital six three only injured and here is the first hand information from a person that survived the blast. i can't remember much i lost

consciousness and when i came round there was rubble around me and we've also talked with there had a doctor at the hospital here at n.p.r. divorce and this is what he had to say. to me the situation is under control the patients are stable are surgeons operated all night some of the victims have serious injuries and many are receiving counseling piazza go to the center of the newly formed district in the north caucuses it includes church. investigators fear that more terror attacks could follow and police in moscow is on high alert investigators also believe the doctor omar if it could be behind this western pyrgos dock omar is in the tourist chechen militant he is the one who claimed to be behind the twin blasts in moscow matter of this march and he is on international terrorist watch list. stomping its her wrist and stemming the flow of

drugs because all the topics being discussed the russian city of sochi president then we could bet is that he's doing a summit with the leaders of afghanistan to. think about it is a following the talks. security and drug trafficking these are at the two top weeks which are expected to take a round see curing but the revolt nation meeting in seoul issued by bringing the all countries together russia shows its commitment to support peace process for a stable afghanistan and the region in general for a shoe russia firmly supports all efforts on the part of afghanistan to restore peace in the country we also support the afghan government's fight against terror and are ready to provide any help needed to tackle the problem of this summit is of course a huge achievement for these four neighbors and it will go a long way towards strengthening regional economic ties and russia shows its

commitment to provide financial support to align resources behind peaceful goals of afghanistan just recently russia wrote off the last. ghana stanstead overall it was twelve billion dollars for russia central asia is the traditional sphere of interests and of course it has been always a sensitive to instability caused by the afghan conflicts in the region drug trafficking and islamic radicalism are now the main security threats and russia seems to be one of the countries which suffers most from these threats the recent survey shows that russia is the number one heroin consumer in the world and estimated thirty thousand people are dying every year of abuse this is a third of the world's death toll of. opium related and that is of course a huge and drastic figure and russia is now trying to take the lead in breaking up the channel all for opium coming from of ghana stand through the so-called northern

route it comes from afghanistan to stand then to russia and further into europe no visas are required to travel from the g q stan and russia which means that opium can flood in easily through the open door artie's correspondent one to the border between afghan. stance that she could stand to experience to see firsthand what challenges people who provide security at the border face every day turning a boy. is a tough task but getting him ready to go into one of the most tricky borders in central asia is even more difficult. work i don't know the other people don't don't go that's why a training center in there is no time for games when it comes to dealing with the center of the global heroin trade. classes are held every day despite the time of year and weather conditions right now it's extremely hot here but as you can see the troops are fully dressed in their uniforms have to get used to it since this is

what they'll have to wear on the job after six months trained soldiers are sent to guard the border while new conscripts arrive continuing the cycle stuns border with afghanistan stretches twelve hundred kilometers that's around seven hundred fifty miles water guards are being trained by the russian federal security service under a deal signed back in two thousand and four the use of different weapons physical education. and survival techniques are all poured over the course. terrorism drug smuggling and human traffic have put this region in the global spotlight that's why there are currently over twenty international organizations including the u.n. in the work into g. can stand alone. afghanistan produces over ninety percent of all people in the world according to the united nations the death toll from opiates in the two countries is five times more than all the needle soldiers who died in afghanistan

since two thousand and one but according to the sheet of an independent analyst and the author of dozens of articles about the flow of drugs he's unlikely to stop no matter how strong and in demand that water. this problem may have various technical solutions but it will never be fully solved while there's fighting in afghanistan and global demand for opiates. afghan opium production has grown by a third since the us led invasion it's thought the billion dollar business brings more money than all foreign investments put together that's why it's unlikely even the most advanced border control system possible would solve the problem completely business is simply too good you got this going off r t g gets done. or for more on this conference i'm not going. to have world economy and international relations joining us well the problem is that if he said that russia is ready to help in

tackling terrorism and drugs what does that really mean does it mean that russia is willing to provide military assistance to afghanistan any time soon talking about nutrisystem neutral solution you have to understand that afghanistan is not a military problem it's political and nation building problem many compare the situation in afghanistan and caucuses but unlike caucuses the problem was not true there was a small group of militants who are not all for caution origins are coming from are conscious of the world so russian security here. russian security forces have solved this problem very effectively but it is the situation of ghana and it's very different and russian military expertise and nutrisystem won't solve the problem you know if the situation. it would have been solved the problem would have been solved long ago americans and their allies of themselves the situation is political and i guess that russian role in this situation and the role of russian president

medvedev is in giving some kind of political solution to the problem and those who are being the median with the leaders of those conscious involved into the problem is so important so i guess the trashing role is political more than military what else would these countries be discussing evolution to the political woes afflicting the region what are. the countries also face each of those three conscious to do just in afghanistan and pakistan have severe internal problems. pakistan faces the same threat from taliban as the country dark islamabad doesn't control a large part of its own territory where terrorist or all. of the legacy of the civil war fifteen years ago to meet. tears and russian roll as the contrary that is involved in the situation in the region and the contras very stable political economic and social situation is very important so i think that

russia can contribute a lot maybe much more than americans and europeans with their military support in light of what your saying it seems even warring president karzai as we were discussing yesterday he has recently announced he wants to kick out private security firms within four months from afghanistan is not just going to make the security situation worse in the country you know president hamid karzai and he is brother who is considered to be the top drug lord of going to stone they have their own agenda and their gender is very different from the one for all for america russia and european pantries so in this situation corazon wants to rule his country and to lead the business go on the basic problem of going to see via corruption and the local reputation and respect of the kabul government among the people in this situation russia has to deliver this clear message to afghanistan that political reform is needed to solve the situation and no foreign aid nor true cisterns would

help to talk of the contre back on track again. to restore peace and of guinness that isn't so hard for them in practical terms what sort of coup steps the measures do you think between these four countries russia afghanistan to stand on pakistan can be taken to stop drug traffickers in the region russia tries to solve this problem and offers lots of military and political expertise to the jigger stand the country of that office from the floor of drugs from of get a stand but now i have see this summit as a great chance to talk directly saw the present president majority of have delivered his message directly to the leaders of all contras because strong cooperation between islamabad. and more school is needed to solve this problem frankly speaking americans and their european allies have failed in afghanistan they have failed to restore peace they have failed in their nation building problem

and i think is a great chance for sure to contribute much to the stability of the region and just for example what do you make of the proposal put forward by the president. stands to sign some sort of agreement on corporation in fighting terrorism is that viable yes terrorism and drug trafficking that's international problem so no contrie could fight this can fight this problem alone because you know that's international business there multinational gangs and drugs money or weapon of law of course of the borders i guess this idea is a very good but the first idea is to restore peace in the guinness to itself and to deliver a clear message to preside political reform is needed corruption has to be put under control and in this case international cooperation of course is important but the problem lies in afghanistan and american failure in afghanistan also looking at the grass roots problem of all this russia has time and time again said that

fighting the drugs trade starts with actually stamping out the open field in afghanistan but obviously that requires a great deal of cooperation with the cause a regime to do you think the countries actually reading to do that yes but it's very important once again it's very important to fight drugs in afghanistan but it's first it's very important not to cooperate with cross a regime because those regime has failed because it has been ruling his country for almost nine years and has done nothing to fight drug problems has contributed much to this collision of violence and the contrary and in this case i think international community here and also the leaders of pakistan to trickiest and russia have to deliver those clear message marsh reform is needed and it will solve all the problems with drugs with terrorism with taking root. federally administered tribal areas and so on so in this case i see russian role is very important and i think it's a great chance to solve the problem. i guess that the current climate will

contribute much to this you get whole cloth from the issues of world economy and international nations many thanks thank you very much to all the knees and now and for many foreigners an american the possible promise is all that unity and a better life but an increasing number of us citizens of a common disillusioned with that country last year alone over seven hundred people were novels their citizenship three times as many as the year before. last one the expatriates why he did it. can o'keefe grew up an american in a nation that he believed was the greatest in the world a bastion of freedom and democracy in order to protect those ideals he joined the marine corps and went to fight for his country in the gulf war and that's when the american dream became a nightmare i was punished for speaking out about something that my superiors were doing. my life became extremely difficult upon my return with

a different perspective i started to look at american history and politics and realized that my whole life i had been lied to and i believed in those ideals you know i believed in when i found out that these ideals were really the way america was presenting itself in the world and it became clear to me at some point that i would reduce citizenship and renounce it he did o'keefe applied to the state department to stop being american claim political asylum in holland and burned his u.s. passport o'keefe knows that not everyone will agree with what he's done some maintain he could have exerted more pressure from inside the system but however they choose to do it middle east commentator alan hart says americans must do something i have a love hate relationship with america. on one level americans are the most uninformed misinformed dumbest gullible people on the face of god's earth that's the bad news deep down they're also the most idealistic so i say and

americans didn't mind me saying if they were properly informed about the causes and effects of things in the middle east they could become engaged to make their democracy work it hasn't always been this way at the end of the second world war the us was leading the world both economically and morally but according to carol turner from the stop the war coalition it's steadily it rooted that goodwill because it's failing to give its ethical lead now attorneys it's increasingly forced back to using its military power to impose its will can o'keefe is committed to changing that sense since giving up his u.s. citizenship has made it his mission to oppose u.s. military action wherever he can he was on board one of the gaza bound aid ships raided by israeli commandos in may and following that he was branded

a terrorist by israel ken o'keefe now an irish citizen giving up his country wasn't an easy decision and he insists it wasn't one borne out of hatred you know i realized that a certain point that citizenship was a social contract and i didn't agree to the charms of the contract obligations you have rights and you have obligations among your obligations is paying taxes those taxes are being used to commit mass murder i don't agree to that a lot of people misinterpret renounce your citizenship or hate america absolutely not the case at all i have a deep love for the american people and i wish that the ideal of america became a reality until that dream becomes a reality o'keefe and others like him will be staying away from the land of the free and the home of the brave. r.t. london. now in his first major interview poland's president a bit on this love come off ski said he wants to improve relations with russia and

neither wants to sell roy and daughter of specialized research and investment explains the conflict. when you look at the conflict i think it comes down to one basic issue and common sense says it's money so both pretended and both very possibly need money for their own ventures so. the resolution basically comes down to. who can take full control over else can they either take money out of the company in the form of a dividend which would be fantastic for minority investors that's what i promote it in sydney. or they use the shares that they own a real as a deposit or as collateral to a bank for a major loan that they could use to further their business interests outside of the rules those are the two basic scenarios you have a third series of course which is would be the worst of all scenarios which would be just a legal battle that goes on and on and on and on and use an investor would just sit and lose money while they sorted out their own problems so i think the issue is

money the resolution will be a decision that will allow the winner to take money out of the company either in the form of a loan or in a dividend and depending on which one they choose as a minority investor you could do very well nothing at all. russia's largest steelmaker severstal has a received any bids for three u.s. plants is put up for sale the company wanted to sell the mills but may now offer them separately as according to news wire american metals markets. as one of the assets the plant in ohio could be bought by x. owner group severstal acquired it for one hundred forty eight million dollars two years ago. let's take a look at those don't walk it's not here in moscow therefore trade up for a solid session on tuesday is a low or a metal prices. steel is to no hope. bank is the mainly the only r.t.s. shedding. over in europe the footsie and sacks are also slipping stocks the worst

performers as investors have taken some profits off the table and are riding further developments on v h p billiton through the potash corp. russia's biggest companies produce first half results this week many of them reported to russian accounting standards and very best is can be more confusing than analyzing a question of a report. corporate results are supposed to provide to guide to how well it companies performing for investors in russian companies report under russian accounting standards but also use an international standard usually i have asked the reporting susan can be nothing short of bewildering numbers can look very different subtypes which makes you wonder why. that makes sense if if the transactions are identical why would you get different reporting on this transaction most significant russian companies fool in the category of dual reporting including major banks energy companies and minus this can sometimes lead

to a profit under one system suddenly tensing into a loss in the other and vice versa so why the big difference one reason is who then counting is intended for the russian standard is for the local tax office to determine how much money should be handed over to the government while the emphasis of iowa for us is more towards protecting investors accountancy the difference amounts to one of satisfying legal obligations versus revealing economic health plans to move the russian standard closer to the ira for us have been in the pipeline for some time the finance ministry spitting its weight behind the move saying it will make the country track to fit to international investors of the global financial community the global financial community. international standards that exist for a reason. my life and. confidence in marketplace
