will not be extradited immediately reports had suggested the special plane fifty u.s. commandos had arrived in bangkok to boot is being held for just about a month in the case we're now joined by our correspondent as well that you are not contradictory messages really coming out of thailand how likely is it that it would be extradited to the next few days as washington is demanding. kerry after day basically everybody guessing whether he will in fact leave as soon as possible or not it now seems that the situation has been somewhat revolved even if even if temporarily the thai prime minister coming out with the statements that say pointing to laws in spacing new charges from the united states and therefore until those charges are result in the type court will not be extradited of course the american side was.

the organizations that would target the u.s. are thailand so there was immense pressure applied prior to his extradition what's really behind washington's vilification though is the question and there are several different analyses for this one analysis is that has come out is that bruce simply knew too much and could really embarrass the united states with the information that he had you know he was involved in governments and groups and trafficking and moving goods but also arms forty seven not only for governments all over the world but for the u.s. government for allies of the u.s. government also for afghanistan and iraq one analyst has come out saying that booth transported not only arms for the u.s. into iraq but he also transported arms for the taliban and that having him having worked both for the u.s. government the u.s. military as well as afghanistan prior to nine eleven who knows what kind of information he has that could embarrass the united states. through the victim has

been the target jail for two years now how did the end up there in the first place was the background. carry he was arrested in march two thousand and eight molly charges filed by the united states of course prior to those charges he was a contractor with that many countries including the united states he had a contract with the pentagon for a number of years and even after george bush specifically prohibited the united states government. from any dealings with the the group the pentagon actually extended his contract to two thousand and six so for two years they were operating despite the president's sanctions against any operations with a view that a boot so very close contacts with many governments of the world at some point the united states government decided that it was no longer an asset but in fact direct file charges and he was taken down and at the time. capital bangkok in

a joint sting operation by u.s. anti-authority c. has then he has since been held in the infamous bangkok hilton right now he's in solitary confinement while some charges against him were being looked at first of all by the type criminal court actually ruled against the extradition the case was then moved to the thai appeals court which is said to be directly under control of the thai government which is when the united states started exerting severe pressure on the thai government in order to make it a rule in favor of the extradition of course that extradition was granted on august twentieth put himself has always a maintains his innocence has denied any allegations of wrongdoing his family his lawyers and many analysts do believe that he is being made a scapegoat in the process the united states however pushing for the fact that they do have enough evidence to try him in the united states not only for cases of

allegedly arms trafficking but also for violating international trade laws and for money laundering but of course his extradition is now under question because not only has the russian government expressed severe just concern basically with the a thai government's ruling saying that the decision as a political one not a legal one and he is saying that it will continue to aid at maintaining the support of the group while he remains incarcerated in the bangkok but of course the new criminal charges that have been filed by the united states now make that extradition. happening very soon very unlikely. because through their eyes are of a half an hour thank you for this. journalist daniel a student says the case has been twisted to discover america involvement. time teligent officers of very high level told me that in fact the whole thing was

already done before it started in the sense that you know the court of for instance was going to rule in favor so it looked actually the book was going to win the case and the appeals court was going to rule in boots against the book so that nobody could say that it was askew decision that nobody could say that the americans paid the thais everybody could say it was one for blood what it would for the americans except that the appeals court decision was the final decision because unfortunately in thailand there was no appeals to the supreme court as far as the four has a concern i think is chance of winning the case the united states is zero point zero united states states have spent fifteen years trying to allegedly try to catch an alleged gun runner but that it was it true they spent two and a half years trying to win the extradition case and it looked a bit actually said to the united states to think that he can win in the united states against america on their home turf when everything is against them so that in the end if you walks and goes home america will all become a laughing stock of the entire world not to mention that whatever little

credibility they have as a nation will definitely rule in the. military analysts are going to who shelf says that people involved in illegal deals enjoy u.s. support. for the state department right now there is nothing more important in its foreign affairs then to bring to justice the mood in the faraway thailand it is driven by obsessive desire to silence and to sentence the boot supposedly as the russian equivalent of the senator charlie wilson who unleashed the. proxy war in afghanistan thirty years ago now it is a high possibility that before the week her case will be closed or resolved the truth will come out the u.s. state department is actively interfering with the us lloyd foresman operations in afghanistan thus providing the political cover for the real

culprits who are involved in arms and drug trafficking in afghanistan under the watchful big is of the central intelligence agency let's just imagine that sooner rather than later we kill leaks we'll reveal the new data regarding the nefarious connection between the cia and drug dealers and eventually the main all the afghan president step brother while they've got his eye real pol pot the velvet incriminating evidence for leading their corruption and drug relating enterprise as the top drug being and as available cia asset in afghanistan well guess what happened next i can assure you nothing. plans to build a mosque two blocks from the none of that and sites have been defended by your and

mark. americans bitterly divided over the project this summer claiming the suit was driven by politicians who want to gain the upcoming elections. if there had to be a dirty word this summer that word would arguably be mosque or. mosque we have an island we have the united states but it's. really going to be is a monument to the nineteen hijackers if this guy would absolutely be a monument to the. nineteen extremists the iceberg there is a great industry beach behind the destruction of western civilization here in the u.s. the whole country is bickering over the development of an islamic cultural center two blocks from ground zero zero your direct dueling demonstrations in lower manhattan opponents against supporters. with midterm

elections approaching in november some say it's no coincidence this new york city issue has become politicized around the nation and they are in tough economic times when we're in tough economic times people turn to desperate measures to gain power a lot of politicians have demonized the muslim community and we're here to say no. we've seen it before. probably see it again unfortunately right fighting words are growing while less and less is being said about the country's crippling economic situation here inside new york city's largest department of labor office happens. americans are fighting to keep food on the table it's. like it's. everywhere. for people. to homelessness in new york city is at great depression levels nearly ten percent of the country is out of a job and last month nearly one hundred thousand homes were foreclosed on.

it's a house of worship something struggling americans are concerned with me personally know millions of people who work. but it is an issue that drives attention to the media among the employed five thousand are refusing to work construction workers have signed a pledge refusing to build the islamic cultural center if it is to rise if anything can trump america's capitalism clearly its anger. poverty new york. it's the moment that many russian u two fans have been waiting for as the world renowned band prepares to perform its first ever concert in the country on wednesday night ahead of the gig u two front man had t.v. dmitri medvedev in the southern city of sochi the rock star president is a one man band spoke not only about music poverty and aids may take you back to the capital to prepare for what he the world's most expensive luxury meant

eighty thousand fans are expected to fill up my space and it's. now a self-proclaimed royal is bringing in legal case against the russian government saying the kremlin buildings are rightfully his the so-called grand the prince of all russia claims it's his god given right to rule the country but critics say he's deluded discrediting genuine royalty. one day soon the russian president will move out of the kremlin and this man will move in if he gets his way. mead the grand prince of all russia but it could get it. right here we are a store procedure should play a decisive role in the fate of the country property is a sacred right and we are the owners of the kremlin if the government just lodges that's why we filed a lawsuit for it to be returned to us. who would have claims to be

a long lost descendant of an extinct in a city that hasn't for four hundred years he says his ancestors and the other nobles paid for the construction of the criminal with their own money so the family should return there. he has no legal grounds at all for his claims he's just trying to make a name for himself the law clearly says that the property belongs to the state his critics say the grand princess was a communist party functionary a bank executive and a failed policy and she can that before quite unexpectedly stumbling upon his role roots. the. i think some of the do you mind. this morning you saw king buttoned up since he does definitive proof must recognize the wrist the crowds haven't bowed down to the new royal flush is this what you would

do this is not a case for genealogist but for psychiatry it's he seems to more discredit the aristocracy than anything despite being labelled alternatively mentally ill or make a low maniac the ground prince remains upbeat about i'm not a clown with my heritage i've been given the power that ordinary people have not to look off to places and these people thirty hearings. now the kremlin as unlikely to change own as any thought and so on but what the story does prove is that with a threesome checkered history russia has left a lot of people with claims to property some ludicrous others serious. moscow. as u.s. combat troops pulling out of iraq some question whether iraq is are able to control the country themselves where the number of private contractors in iraq soaring and the honest the the situation and get worse lawyer ethical in just says anything

after withdrawal the u.s. will continue to exit controversial influence over the country. these are dirty wars that the united states tried to cover up at one point and now have somewhat institutionalized which is why we see these these increases in funding for private contractors i mean another exposé the washington post it just a few weeks ago was on this massive expansion of the u.s. intelligence community and all of the private contractors that are now conducting intelligence operations and this is what we're seeing you know we're seeing now state authorized selective assassinations i mean it was a policy created during the bush administration but it's a policy that's been and continue and reinforced during the obama administration so it's really just a question of us state policy it's not an issue of you know which president is in power and figures like nader pantera michael bakers or you know others i mean even those from the times of the dirty wars here and in latin america that came back

into power during the bush years in in the twenty first century like are all right . they're still around they're still consulting braeburn from the private sector on us foreign policy towards that in america towards other parts of the world so yeah i mean i think they were based perceive what they did as something very successful on the small it's a promise from barack obama that the guantanamo bay prison would close at the beginning of the. two hundred detainees remain claims of torture and interrogation techniques on a taurus detention facility brings in special report takes a look inside the real guantanamo bay has a pretty. disarming saddam hussein. past majority of iraqi citizens. this event brings further assurance that the torture

suggesting this the bed is should be afraid of people. in a few moments the decency of the shots stay with us. hungry for the full story we've gone to. the biggest issues get the human voice face to face with the news makers. every month we give you the future we hope you understand how we'll get there and. the best in science and technology from across russia and around the world. join us technology update on our g. hello welcome to the business program with me. first this hour russia's gross

domestic product grew two point five percent in july one year but the economy contracted no point three percent the previous month finance ministry playing seasonal factors for the fall him to take a three percent slump in the agricultural sector in separate news the ministry is raising its inflation for calls for the year but says it will still be in the level of two thousand and nine. let's see how the markets performing in agent stocks the lower on wednesday following the declines of wall street on wall you poor u.s. economic data the nikkei is more than one percent in the red with strong yen to pressure the exporters. here and russian stocks they choose day trading session in the red top oil producer of all to shed another two percent as the price of light sweet slip near seventy two dollars a barrel. now the russian fishing industry is enjoying a dream seafood production is growing twelve percent in the last three years but problems with the infrastructure broke recy mean that much of the kutch is not

making it to the russian dinner tables and instead it's going abroad this is specially true of the fisheries in the far east which also have to contend with transporting their fish huge distances to markets in russia so you don't need an event of a report. the forestry didn't account for twenty percent of the fish caught in russia the ocean is the issue is salmon still have trout and char there may be russian treasures but much of this talk is destinated markets. because a rich natural resources and the lack of domestic infrastructure for processing fish makes the proximity to the asia pacific region and opportunity for russia to sell their broad even before returning to shorts there is not only a lack of infrastructure but also the tariffs imposed on c foot caught in russian waters are high and the regulations of what because all strange and so for the fisherman it often makes sense to land the catch in

a foreign court. we have to pass very difficult very controls the agencies impose strict requirements which means we need to spend a lot of money and sometimes it's even easier and cheaper for us to supply fish abroad than to the domestic market. but unlike russia's farmers the nation's fishermen are having a good to thousand and ten with a catch up nearly ten percent on their previous year of like a good witch of the ship and as we all realize a good catch is just the beginning it's followed by processing transport taishan and sale most important is for us to grow the share of domestic goods and that in two thousand and nine the share russian fish consumed in russia was seventy two point four percent by two thousand and fourteen it should grow to at least eighty point five percent we've decided to extend the financing program for the industry by one year to two thousand and fourteen that's around thirty two billion rubles

but there is one problem the government will never be able to solve and that's the distance involved in getting fish from the far east to russia's biggest population centers in the european part of the country both transportation is expensive and relatively slow an arctic char caught on a monday morning in the. pacific would be lucky to make it two more screen time plus one bill on church instead it's more likely to end up on then the chopstick in tokyo or be jean zinaida to do a business are cheaper pols who come to the far east. some news in brief for you now russia's second largest food retailer magnets are reporting the eleven point three percent increase in first half profits one hundred thirty one million dollars the company as the capital spending for this year may reach one point three billion dollars as it opens thirty hypermarkets and some six hundred fifty convenience stores. to poland in the country's biggest bulk produce the stock spirits is looking to buy

a seventy five percent stake in ukraine decided in the mirror of that's according to newspaper column the polish company's gain exclusive right to acquire the shares always a final decision in a month's time they wear off is estimated to be worth three hundred seventy million dollars but there is another possible by at the stake russian standards which previously expressed an interest in the asset says it still considering. and finally a russian energy giant gazprom may build a gas pipeline from russia to china as early as two thousand and fifteen russia first agreed to build a pipeline to china in two thousand and two failed to agree on gas prices with beijing but some experts doubt the new pipe will be a priority for china and is already investing heavily in the two biggest energy supplies in central asia. and does it stand. now as late as the noise by more stories on our website r.t. dot com slash business. so.
