a terror suspect wanted by russia has been detained by polish police on his way to the warsaw prosecutor's office moscow wants to stand trial in russia and is already

putting together a case for his extradition. to russia u.s. strategic arms reduction treaty gets the green light for american foreign policy legislators paving the way for a crucial final vote from the full senate. a new plan announced row by the troubled u.s. economy amid claims the country is recovering from a global crisis but despite new measures millions of unemployed americans still struggle to get by. and. businessmen are in sochi for a two day international investment forum will have more business programs at twenty past the hour. twelve noon in moscow why match reza good to have you with us here on r t our top story one of russia's most wanted terror suspects has been reportedly detained by

polish police warsaw says it had warned that he would face arrest if he entered the country to attend an international chechen congress moscow was already preparing a case for his extradition artie's catarina has the latest developments. the polish dorothy's did say yesterday that they would detain the man should he come to poland because of an outstanding enter paul warrant issued after requests but in by the russian side who have called the psychiatrist a wanted man for nearly a decade since two thousand and one he was pronounced wanted first in a brush up and then globally of course an interpol arrest warrant was issued and polish authorities did say that they would detain the man for further questioning of course it's not as simple as simply detaining him and shipping him back to russia where he will stand trial it is a matter of a court procedure in poland itself first where the polish court will decide whether

there is grounds for a further detention or arrest of a it's a five people then have to return to england where he has a political asylum of the world and the british side will then have to decide whether to extradite him to russia in order to stand trial so a very complicated situation and the very fact that it's a crime has reportedly already been detained by the polish police doesn't exactly mean that in some trials is going to begin anytime soon he has been wanted for nearly ten years two thousand and one russia pronounced him a wanted man in two thousand and three britain refused to extradite him to russia because that he was given political asylum in the united kingdom and therefore an agreement that exists between moscow and london for exchange of suspected criminals does not apply specifically because of sat by its political refugees betas so despite the fact that in russia he's facing very serious charges those are included manslaughter kidnapping of participating in terrorist extremist activity as

prosecutors also believe he has participated in the moscow theater siege that took place at a job or two thousand and two despite all of those very serious charges it is somewhat unlikely there is a bias for will begin at this. anytime soon. for more on this now i'm joined by dmitry babich a political analyst from russia's ria novosti news agency good to have you with us here so the key so is a coyote has been detained by the polish police what happens next well i don't expect anything good because russia will long to agree to anything less than he is extradition and it will be politically very difficult for the polish authorities to extradite him because i kind of has a little fall in the poll and that will be a political scandal if that happens so we're going to see a protracted proceed justs and most likely he will be sent back to the united kingdom. so poland says that they will do they will act according

to their interests in this case what does that mean does that mean they will extradite him does that mean they will consider the options what do you think that they say well since the beginning of hostilities in chechnya in one thousand nine hundred four. basically an officially supported the church and. separatist movement. it was not open the government did not say we want an independent change now and we recognise that. formal fight us. political asylum in poland and the world of refugees leave that so basically. interest is in the lead relations with russia so political interest would be not to allow that into poland in the first place now that happened and i don't foresee anything you would fall polish russian relations from this fact ok so russia

insists on him being extradited to face charges including terrorism kidnapping etc what are the chances that you think he will be extradited especially since he was granted asylum by the u.k. in two thousand and three. this is one of the reasons why i don't expect him to be extradited to russia anytime soon and certainly not from poland. generally it's a very complicated issue because russia considered him most of the wanted terrorist when the so-called lost the government still existed and was trying to fly russian troops in chechnya. the situation has ended a lot of years ago so for the last at least a.t.'s as i was a new eason's but not a problem for russia recently and president arms on come there if we will invite him back into. so basically i think that the school. a fad will be

just blown out of proportion by some people in poland and outside forand who don't want russian push away chanst into i already expect a lot of negative rhetoric from that so-called kmita scene support of change in poland in other countries and as a kind of was reportedly in poland just a few weeks ago why do you think officials didn't arrest him then there's the most intriguing point of all did he visit the ball and you know almost several times before and somehow it never went it was never noticed by the us you know in poland there is a lot of political forces who intrigue against the improvement in polish russians relations and i'm sure that they see these people who use this affair to they will use it against the polish president komorowski and against their prime minister don't know toast who are known for their efforts to improve relations with russia all right thanks very much for your perspective to be true babbitt your political analyst from the ria novosti news agency. you're watching our t.v.

still ahead for you a gangster wars in the heart of moscow a man believed one of the top russian mafia bosses is shot in the center of the capital but manages to escape with his life investigators point out a blood feud and turf war as possible motives behind the attempt. at artie's close up team looks at the vast oil and gas reserves of the soccer when i live in russia's far east as we embark on another journey to uncover the hidden gems of the country. first though u.s. president barack obama is pushing forward on efforts to double u.s. exports in the next five years a move that could generate up to two million jobs the proposal to help america's troubled economy comes amid claims of the country is recovering from the global financial crisis but with poverty among the working population out of fifty euro millions of americans are still fighting for survival. welcome to silk city.

this once was what the industrial revolution looked like in the united states. now this is what poverty looks like in this town more than twenty percent are poor more than seventeen percent unemployed it means for many here ninety m. is a time to go to work. just don't think it's time to head to the food pantry for charity that. they are low income folks some of them have been unemployed for almost two years is what we're seeing but on average it's the underemployed. there are people who can't make ends meet people like jenny like the one working in the town it's not enough you know it's just not enough to get all the food we need and the numbers are only growing and we saw in two thousand and nine a fifteen percent increase over two thousand and eight numbers and we're anticipating that that number will go up by another ten percent at the end of two

thousand and. jenny can't afford to buy food for her mother and three year old son not with only use them public assistance is just not enough money and a part time job they don't need any more hours than i believe before a job thing is just hard to find work and it only appears to be getting worse it is unfortunately not only here but in the entire us new statistics for two thousand and nine show forty three million people one in seven are living in poverty this is the most people who are in more than fifty years that's when they first began tracking these numbers here you can see one reason why for turning these are few and far between especially in the old urban industrial cities are paterson as in so many cities in the united states manufacturing used to power this one these were still factories that now are decrepit boarded up sitting in disrepair there are signs everywhere here of the u.s. manufacturing jobs that have disappeared or gone overseas factory work all of the

low level jobs that these folks with low skilled are sort of out the window you know and leaving them lining up in droves for a little heat we now see prepare about twelve hundred meals a day now it will be serving about four hundred people. a free lunch some of the workers here some are homeless not surprisingly. there are twenty percent more mouths to feed here at avis kitchen than a year ago why. now and some can't work like irwin who has an incurable disease lose no for work or for so many of us used to be a driver yet he still can't afford lunch and experts say the needy are needier than ever are they more poor yes that i can say and here on the ground for from washington and wall street there is no sign of an economic recovery for these people in sight i don't see recovery. they have no thanks for their politicians i

don't know what's going on with the column and i don't know was the press doing. for me is not doing there is no gloom better. in the urban decay of silk city gratitude is reserved for the help with recovery they do know. there is a. case did. they use her. lauren mr r. t. patterson new jersey a suspected russian criminal mastermind is being treated in a moscow hospital after an attempt on his life nicknamed grandpa a sign he is tied to a fallen victim to a gang war right in the center of the capital. has more from the scene. well it happened at around eight pm on thursday evening in the very center of moscow and. also known as grandpa son was thought to be

a major criminal warden in russia he arrived to the reportedly to visit his son who lives at an apartment in one of the local buildings as the criminal lord and his bodyguard were the approaching the entrance to the building several floors shots were fired first hitting the bodyguard and then injuring. himself the investigators found a suspicious looking window in open window in one of the buildings nearby when they checked the carbon be found a weapon which is thought to have been used in this assassination attempt both men were war hospitalized enough gaudi's announced around basra son's death but we really do know this information seen that by giving these false reports they wanted to prevent a second possible assassination attempt so clearly had the moment both men are recovering at one of mall schools hospitals which is truly heavily guarded by authorities haasan least thought to be someone who's called the. why the cold of

a person if it was reached such a height in the criminal world that he is able to supervise control and benefit from numerous criminal activities without actually leaving any traces he used to be really close to another a criminal lord known him by the name of the point she was assassinated back in two thousand and nine as a result of all these criminal wars and. alleged revenge she's definite and some analysts say that if this information that she was assassinated using this specific type of a sniper's rifle is correct then this is the same type of weapon that he pulled she was murdered with and so according to some analysts the organizers also these attacks may want to see hint that these two attacks are connected. to other news we're covering on r t the us senate foreign relations committee has

voted in favor of the nuclear arms reduction or start treaty signed with russia in april the deal now needs approval from the full senate that could eventually see the two countries reducing their warhead stockpiles by a third but as art he's got a cheeky on reports america's in-house issues could still hinder plans for the ratification. the start treaty got the green light from the senate foreign affairs committee and is heading for the senate floor this treaty will make america more secure it will assist us in moving towards the goal of less nuclear threat and for that reason we're probably actually took today it's been a bumpy ride this five months of hearings and the resolution that the senators passed reflects that they put all their concerns in one package among them. the time between offensive and defensive weapons senators clarify the treaty in no way is an obstacle for the u.s. plans to deploy defense systems american officials see it the same way it commits

us to continue to develop the ability to be able to protect our people and to have a robust missile defense system but russians do take the time mentioned in the treaty quite seriously they see the new start as an agreement based on equality and balanced and if that balance is shifted or disturbed they say they can pull out but some in washington say their hurdles related to the ratification are not so much about the details of the treaty but about republicans trying to make a point to the democrats one of the problems is good old fashioned red meat politics the republicans don't they just can't resist this opportunity to say well you know the democrats are weak on national security and that's one of the real barriers that the obama administration faces here i have no doubt whatsoever if we had a republican administration this this treaty would be already radical the paradox

is that the number of republicans who had testified for the treaty outnumbers democrats on top of that the u.s. military officials are unanimous in their support of the deal something that many experts are pointing out here senators ten express their concerns but they can't really change the trading they can either ratified or not and doesn't. what senators were saying that thursday they surely will the question is when i'm going to check out our reporting from washington d.c. . now it's time to take a journey but don't bother packing your bags just come along with the r t team as we continue our close up series exploring the varied and vast regions of russia. this time come along on the trip to russia sakhalin a region in the country's far east it's famous for its serenity beauty and unique wildlife and also noted for boasting large energy reserves rich in oil and natural

gas the area is of but peculiar interest to the country's energy giants the r.t.e. who had a chance to experience the riches of the silent first parties alexei are chefs people. just like most women scientists not done he likes to receive flow waves but this time the red coat of nations serves as a victim of an experiment. to flower into a liquefied gas where it immediately freezes. and with a loud crack not dahlia breaks it onto our cameras lens thus she demonstrates what liquid gas the phonology is all about. when an object like this balloon is put into liquid gas of cryogenic temperatures it massively decreases in volume in fact it becomes six hundred times smaller but after a short while when put back into normal temperatures it's volume increases again

this property of natural gas allows much better transportation six hundred times more gas than a normal storage. the cycling energy project is the first liquid natural gas project in russia and there are only twenty like these in the entire world millions to because of gas are being processed here every year to be an exporter to asian pacific countries it represents a successful combination of the russian natural resources and western technologies . launched eighteen months ago the alan g. plant in pretty good there quickly gathered operational plays russian gas giant gazprom is its main shareholder with the rest of its ownership spread between shell and two japanese companies it is located in the region which holds top positions in russia in the oil and gas resources and according to the company's c.e.o. their presence here dramatically improved sucklings life when the project there was not infrastructure here in place we have not only. the plant by

appliance there are also the new job created the new contractors a new company is established here. however not everyone shares such a positive view. through almost impenetrable far eastern tomorrow we went to see the indigenous people of san. north the ne few minority iran four thousand leafs live at the seaside rely on the riches of the underwater world for their survival but any fisherman told us when gas companies put their first offshore platforms in their waters it seriously threatened their life. when the platforms appeared the fish we used to catch in these areas practically disappeared we expressed our

protesting got good results there was no offshore platform just over there but after our voices of discontent it was moved further away. such concerns would have been difficult to neglect by the gas giants now the succulent energy company launched several social programs for the indigenous minorities which include employment of the needs at their facilities. the company sponsors health programs and education for the natives the company invests three hundred thousand dollars in it every year most of the program sectors are run by the indigenous peoples themselves. according to both the company's management and the knicks the gas giants programs for the natives are a healthy compromise and example of how old and then you can co-exist in practical terms this means multibillion profits for the former and much better quality of life for the latter. reporting from the region.

increasing and are quite sufficient to provide a stable exchange value of the ruble. and deputy chairman of michigan own bank says the bank has plans to invest heavily into the cross and. the russian government. injection. more. and. try and then. private investor. optimism thirty percent. op the seventy percent. project. and as a moment we already know like. it's not our car.

that's being exclusive it's a business odds he president of russia where was that to me you couldn't said that the company would inject further money into the olympic games and reiterated the company's investment strategy. we consider the possibility to invest. four edition beat honorables into a really big games this year reveal suggest to the board of directors to increase the investment program of russian railways are off the around thirty billion rubles and we also will suggest to reconsider all plans for to solve the problem and to solve the well. we will consider this improvement as the basis for the calculation of the company had to. break prices peter to be still like ten percent below of the level but compared to the last year of course we have

like fifteen percent rice so if we are satisfied with the work and customers they also satisfied but still i suppose. there is room for further improvement. so companies of basic element holding may follow on their way to i.p.o. the group's deputy director general spoke exclusively to r.t. at the such investment for. we're planing to least two more companies in the near future you know in general you know or going public this is just one of those potential sort of the just for you know old old capitalization the power is so specific you know you companies follow your lead you circle resembles to you bill to them or you know no more ready to move to become our target is that all of our companies are being developed to the standard that we're able to lease them in your time we want you know when the monkey say we'll build we think it's that i mean so that it's sort of so it's more important for us to focus on internal efficiency if

you know the internal. you know capacity to use them if you do believe it's own self or still so that if you decide to go public you can meet any of the goldmans in the markets you know if markets open up and become positive we can be very good . and that brings us to the market say here and run in asia where shares are mostly hard followed and mixed results on wall street trends making is up one point two percent is our stocks edge higher after tokyo intervened in the currency markets to cap the year's rise earlier this week as a result shares of exporters gained with honda motor at a one point seven percent and hong kong hang sang is also trading one point two percent higher now let's have a look at how the russian markets are doing we're seeing a rise in the r.t.s. . that will survive a rise in gold and copper prices gold edged point four percent an all time style lift of the shares of points gold russia's biggest gold producer backing stocks are also high with fear about as bad things.
