9:03 am
detained in poland there's still a lot of red tape between his arrest and a possible trial in russia. russia has its sights on reaching an arctic agreement with canada on the heels of signing a deal. with norway. the u.k.'s elite special forces unit the s.a.'s. from the government. should be sitting behind bars in just a few minutes. global news twenty four this is. now one of russia's most wanted terror suspects.
9:04 am
despite the country's threat. a rival. to be attending an international chechen congress. he lives in britain where he has political asylum. following the latest developments on our joins us live. that we've seen this before we. have troubles abroad despite having an arrest warrant chasing him if you think it's realistic to think the polish authorities are really going to detain him. already it's a very good question a very complicated question because of course right now and nobody knows even if he is in poland or whether he's planning. on arriving in poland that is information that so far has only been published by one source polish t.v. channel t.v. and twenty four and they're citing unnamed sources as. basically backing up this information but even if he is in poland and even if the police do detain him it's
9:05 am
still a very complicated procedure boardings the polish prosecutors they can not only on the police to make their arrests they can only remind them of the fact that there is an outstanding interpol arrest warrant for mr is up higher and then if they do detain him it will then take a number of time before he can be actually held for a longer period of time not the standard twenty four to forty eight hours as a different countries have a law on but then there will also have to be a procedure that determines whether he will be allowed to be further detained and then for procedure that will determine whether he will in fact be extradited and of course it is the united kingdom that will have to finally extradite the man to russia because of course he has political asylum in great britain or it's a country we do understand that most of those who demanded his extradition if he goes ahead with his trip but he would likely would face trial in russia any time soon. from what we've seen so far that really has very unlikely because
9:06 am
of course there's a lot of the red tape that stands between this trial and the arrest of mr is a cry of at his arrival here in russia despite the fact that moscow of london actually have an agreement to exchange those accused of committing crimes or already found guilty of committing crimes and misters archive of course as one of russia's most wanted men accused and found guilty of murder of kidnapping of participating in terrorist acts of propagating. extremism all of those things despite all of those things great britain says that on its turf is a law abiding citizen he has the status on. political refugee and that of course prevents him from being extradited by the u.k. authorities to russia to stand trial sell the story to the united kingdom is even faced with that decision once again he will have to be detained in poland and that is in itself is
9:07 am
a questionable thing at the moment. i can't tell you because i mean i was out of there reporting live thank you. for all for more on this we are joined by john laughlin the from the institute of democracy and cooperation in paris. hello to you john so there were earlier reports that poland wouldn't in case of his arrival do you think this could be a breakthrough for russia in prosecuting terrorists suspects i think there's no doubt that if poland were to do say it it would be an enormous breakthrough for russia certainly in the fight against terrorism but more generally in its new. political friendship with its neighbors we've seen over the last year and a half big turnaround in western foreign policy towards russia mainly under american initiative and we've seen changes in georgia or at least in the policy towards georgia we've seen huge political change in ukraine and of course
9:08 am
we've seen political change in poland everybody is familiar i think with the sudden warming up of relations between russia and poland which followed the fatal plane crash that killed the president and his entourage and so if indeed the polish authorities were to honor their extradition obligations towards russia and arrest mr psycho that would be a further symbolic confirmation of this new trend really in western foreign policy now mr martin as a kind of was reportedly in warsaw just a few weeks ago why wasn't he arrested then. well i don't know as we as you said as your correspondent said we don't even know if he's in poland now so as i speak the reports are conflicting. and in any case once more as your correspondent said even if there were even if he were to be detained extradition procedures are notoriously long and let's not forget that when general pinochet was arrested in london it took nearly
9:09 am
a year for the case to be decided these procedures are both judicial and political they're mainly judicial but there's usually a political oversight. so it's very difficult to predict what the outcome will be particularly since we don't yet know exactly where he is now britain has refused to extradite a number of people wanted by russia what's been the reasoning behind these decisions do you think. well the reasoning in britain is that they will not get a fair trial in russia and that russia or is pursuing the man fairly but i don't think that britain will have a say in this present case it seems to me that any detention of psychiatrists would be governed by the extradition treaties that exist between poland and russia as a kind of is not a british citizen. but britain as i say has always alleged including in the case of self that the trial there would not be fair and that's the grounds they've given
9:10 am
for refusing to extradite him and of course for granting him political asylum in the first place britain regards these high profile. opponents of the russian government boris berezovsky an ominous archive in first place as human rights campaigners as people who will not get a fair trial in russia and as people who are being unfairly persecuted by the russian authorities that's the position of the british government or and i when we talk about our comments a kind of and borders but do you think we can realistically expect either of these are suspects to actually face trial here in russia. well i don't think there is no because i think he'll just stay comfortably in england way he. has been for many years now. we have to wait and see how developments unfold but there's no doubt that it would be an immense symbolic act i referred to a moment ago to the geopolitics it's very important to understand that there is
9:11 am
a link between the caucasus and between russia's enemies in central and eastern europe there are links between the caucasus regimes the transcode case in regimes and the. party in ukraine the former party of the former president in ukraine there are links between the people from the north caucasus and the baltic states. and we can see that the world chechen congress itself is being held in poland so the caucasus has always been a geopolitical lever which russia's enemies have used to to basically undermine russia and if as i say poland were to abandon that policy by arresting zachariah something which would presumably finish off the world chechen congress or at least this meeting of it and that would be an extraordinarily important and symbolic step all right john locke learn from democracy and cooperation life for us empires thank you. while russia and canada are neck and neck in

a race for the arctic's rich resources auto worker is challenging moscow's claim to a portion of the polar seabed but russia says it won't give it up you've got to prescreen off has more on this northern dispute. both russia and canada remained firm at their stances claiming that part of the arctic seabed known as the a woman also fridge belongs to bear territory's moscow says that its claims are based on scientific fact and according to the russian foreign minister said russia will continue sending expeditions to this area in order to gather enough scientific proof for the international community to recognize the. part of the russian landmass. because of the limo and also the loam and also bridge was discovered by russian explorers but today we want to prove scientifically that it's a continuation of our marine life in providing our data to the un as canada and now denmark is also thinking about lng clean the loneliness of ridge but any such claim
9:13 am
must be based upon scientific data provided to the un commission and do you have the last word in any case in two thousand and seven a group of russian scientists would you send a don't to be alone also fridge study and found concrete conclusions that it is a continuation of the russian landmass the beginning of planted a russian flag there and then moscow has filed a request to the united nations asking the international community to recognize this area as support of its two to you but the united nations has asked for more sane to fake evidence meanwhile canada has also filed claims on this state are you saying back to the a woman also for age is part of the canadian state or you know we will submit our data on the loan is awfully age and we're confident that our case will prevail by scientific evidence the arctic is a huge area and currently doesn't belong to any country but at the same time it's

thought to hold up to twenty percent of the world's untapped resources of gas and oil which makes it quite an attractive area. for many countries up port from russia and canada other states are also keen to stablish themselves in the octaves and they include the united states denmark and norway according to some analysts this me lead to some type of all over conflict because this is the stakes are really high because of these extremely large reserves of natural resources and this me lead to some sort of problem an international problem on the other hand. and analysts think from that this issue will be resolved peacefully in fact just now during the meeting in moscow the foreign ministers of russia and canada have pledged to resolve the stage or dispute it strictly diplomatically and
9:15 am
scientifically and there is already an example of how such a dispute could be resolved peacefully just recently russia and norway resolved a decades along a territorial dispute on their borders in the bar and sea and now we've agreed first of all to establish the border and also to share the natural resources which are held in that area so hopefully that will be done in the in the case of russia and canada as well. after you've got a person off reporting right there now british special forces are undergoing the biggest cuts since the second world war the country's ministry of defense needs to downsize the elite of special air service after having its budget slashed and while the decision may help the government save money critics say the true cost of axing what is a global asset could spell disaster artie's lorimer ports. world renowned elite notoriously camera shy these are britain's special forces at work in
9:16 am
afghanistan they're seen as one of the greatest assets the u.k.'s army has to offer but even they aren't immune from government cuts the ministry of defense is being forced to save between ten and twenty percent of its budget for the s.a.'s that will mean getting rid of those too old for combat duty and axing one of its part time but talons paxman used to be in the s.a.'s and now helps servicemen to overcome post-traumatic stress disorder he wonders what will happen to men who've spent their lives in extreme situations and my concern would be the vast numbers of going in they are going to be out of work they have been in the military environment. combat environment hostile environment for a number of years all of a sudden they're going to find themselves with a skill set that they can't use in the civilian community pretty hard fought for the fact that they're out of a job some say the decision to axe old soldiers is
9:17 am
a false economy they're the ones with the know how and in valuable experience that needs must and as the u.k.'s economy shrinks so difficult decisions have to be made and economists searching a proper look at what the u.k. is defense needs actually are rather than just locking off a bit here and there i don't think that sort of slicing approach is really going to work i think what you really need to ask is what all britain's military needs going to be over the. next ten twenty thirty years in so far as we can predict them and then design your own forces to actually accommodate those strategic concerns over than just trying to save on paper clips and stationery u.k. special forces have been active in all the major conflicts in recent years iraq kosovo east timor and now afghanistan where nine and a half thousand british troops are currently deployed but the question is whether the british army will be able to play peacekeeping or military roles in foreign
9:18 am
conflicts in the future and that at the same time it's rising economic powers are increasing their military forces that's going to create some nervousness from a period in which nato countries. but also western european countries enjoy a certain technological superiority. not just discomfort defense cuts ultimately main european countries will be increasingly dependent on multilateral alliances to ensure their national security defense review is currently underway with results due to be published in the later what insiders hoped for is a wide reaching decision on the u.k.'s defense priorities what some are afraid they're going to get is paper shuffling and useless cutbacks in britain's already overstretched armed forces. r.t. . and coming up for you a little later in the hour operation for the former front man of the police find
