extradited for trial to russia. their russia u.s. strategic arms reduction treaty gets the green light from american foreign policy legislators paving the way for a crucial final vote from the full senate. a man believed to be one of the top russian mafia bosses in the shop in the center of moscow is to escape with his life investigators point out a blood feud a turf war it's possible motives behind the attack. and a new plan is announced to revive the troubled u.s. economy and made claims the country is recovering from the global crisis despite new measures millions of unemployed americans are still struggling to get. one in the afternoon and. good to have you with us here on r t our top story one of

russia's most wanted terrorist suspects has reportedly been detained by polish police moscow was already preparing the case for. extradition. joining us now. recent developments hello catarina so why have polish authorities made the move to detainees or cry of and what action do you think they'll take next. will not the polish lawyers they said that they will detain mr archive should he arrived on polish territory because there's an outstanding international arrest warrant in his name russia made the notice to enter paul almost a decade ago and since that mr zak i have has been a wanted man not only in this country but in the entire. in all the territories that are covered by enter false all of course polish authorities said that they will detain them and they have detained the man hour earlier this morning when he was leaving his. place of residence and poland they now are trying to figure out what exactly to do with them because they are earlier polish

authorities said that they will not extradite the man to russia they will instead send him back to england but even then a board has to make that decision so right now everything is under question the russian prosecutors are of course very eager to extradite mr zak i have to russia and make him stand trial here on a number of charges at the moment according to the prosecutors they are translating all of the documents relating to the charges that's a cry of faces into polish in order to present them to their polish side and file the extradition request so it is still unclear whether he will be extradited and that of course will be a decision that lies solely with the polish side moscow's made it clear that they want to see him extradited from poland but there are any chances you think that will actually happen. although it's very difficult to say because of course this man has been wanted by of russia for nearly a decade now in two thousand and one he was pronounced a wanted man first on

a federal level and then of course an arrest warrant was issued by interpol and in two thousand and three britain refused to extradite him because he was the. granted political asylum in the united kingdom so russia has been at attempting to extradite him and make him stand trial for a very long time so far but those the attempts have not been successful but the fact that polish authorities have detained zachariah despite the fact that he has recently and frequently traveled to other countries including poland before with no arrests following this could signify a change and perhaps a russian extradition request will be granted of course if it is and is transferred back to russia he faces a number of very serious charges including murder kidnapping extortion and participating in terrorists and extremists activities most notably of course he's believed to be one of the participants of the moscow theater siege of the khobar

two thousand and two also many believe to be one of the it's one of the masterminds behind it on ras the russian this is the region that they believe many believe with the prosecutors that's a client is one of the people responsible for the ongoing volatile situation in the russians out all right artie's caterina's our of our thanks very much for that report. and later on our tour we're going to speak with special guest victor linnik editor in chief of the slovo newspaper and we'll bring you that interview as it becomes available first though president obama is pushing forward plans to double the 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 at a fifty year high millions of americans are still fighting to get by. 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 now and that is just the think it's time to head to the food pantry for charity. they are low income folks are 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. and it's not enough you know it's just not enough to get all the 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 ten jenny can't afford to buy food for her mother and three year old

son not with illness in public assistance there's just not enough money and a part time job they don't need any more hours than our jobs then is just hard to find work and it only appears to be getting worse and 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 the fraternity is 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. a. and you fracturing jobs that have disappeared or gone overseas factory work all of the low level jobs that these folks with mostly older sort of how likely are you

. and leaving them lining up in droves for a little heat we now say prepare about twelve hundred meals a day now it will be serving about four hundred people. a free hotline some of the workers here some are at the homeless not surprisingly always on call been made there are twenty percent more mouths to feed here eva's kitchen than a year ago why. now and some can't work like for one who has an incurable disease who is now for work or for so many of it used to be a truck 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 and they have no thanks for their politicians

i don't know what's going on with a dollar i don't know was the press the door. for me is not going there in the gloom read of. his life in the urban decay of silk city gratitude is reserved for the help with recovery they do know. that they feel they. know you share your very carefree lauren lyster artie patterson new jersey. stay with us here on our t.v. plenty more coming your way. our team looks at the vast oil and gas reserves of the soco an island in russia's far east as we embark on another journey to uncover the country's hidden and unique gems. first though a suspected russian criminal mastermind is being treated in a moscow hospital after an attempt on his life nicknamed grand saan he's thought to have fallen victim to

a gangster war right in the center of the capital are going off has more from the scene of the crime. of incident happened at around eight pm moscow time on thursday evening when i slung on also known as grandpa son to be a major criminal lord in russia i arrived at one of the buildings on a street in the very center of moscow it's reported that he wanted to visit his son who lives here in the neighborhood and asked grandpa assad and his bodyguard were approaching the entrance to the building several shots were fired the bodyguard went down first then according to some reports from the witnesses grandpa haasan actually tried dodging some of the bullets but ended up getting wounded in the stomach when i came the found a suspicious looking window in a building nearby and when they checked this apartment they found a weapon which is thought to have been used in this assassination attempt according to some reports this was a sniper rifle both men were rushed to the hospital enough already soon and else to

grandpa sounds down the leader of the deny misinformation saying that by giving out false reports they wanted to prevent a possible second attack clearly both men are recovering from undergoing surgery at one of moscow's hospitals which is currently heavily guarded by the authorities the grand baja sun is thought to be someone who's called thief by the cool a person who's reached such a height in the criminal world that he could control supervise and benefit from various criminal activities without actually leaving any traces he was really close to a knowledged criminal lord known by the name of viewpoints he was assassinated back in two thousand and nine as a result of these criminal wars and allegedly grandpa first son pledged to revenge his death some analysts to see that if the information about the sniper rifle is correct then judging by the fact that your own ship was killed using

a sniper rifle as well the same type of a sniper rifle then they say that the organizers may be hinting at the fact that these two tanks may be connected. turning to the us now the senate foreign relations committee has voted in favor of the nuclear arms reduction treaty or start signing with russia back in april the deal that now needs approval from the full senate could eventually see both countries reducing their nuclear stockpiles by up to a third but as artie's got a chicky on reports america's in-house issues could still hinder the plans for ratification. the star tribune 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 there are 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 you 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 that the obama administration faces here i have no doubt whatsoever if we had a republican administration this this treaty would be already ratified 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 can express their concerns but they can't really change the trading they can either ratified or not and doesn't. what senators were saying this thursday they surely will the question is when i'm going to check out our reporting from washington d.c. . on word a n word crew members of a scheduled space flight to the international space station have been confirmed by a joint russia u.s. commission their mission involving a modified soyuz spacecraft will deliver new equipment to the station the team

consists of two russian cosmonauts and one american astronaut the spacecraft will be launched from the bike on earth site in kazakhstan in october. time to take a journey but don't bother packing your bags and continuing its close up series this time exploring the vast and varied inspiring regions of russia. the trip this time goes to russia in a region of the country's far east it's famous for its serenity beauty unique wildlife and the island also boasts large energy resources rich in oil and natural gas an area that is of particular interest to the country's energy corporations who had a chance to experience the riches of this island firsthand artie's alexei or chef the local. just like most women scientists not likes to receive flow woods but this time the red coat of nations serves as the victim of an experiment.

she puts the flower into a liquefied gas where it immediately freezes. and with a loud crack natalia breaks it on to 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 its 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 can 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 quickly gathered operational place 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 in place now we have not only. the plant by appliance there are also the new job created the new contractors the new company is established here. however not everyone shares such a positive view. through

almost impenetrable far east and we went to see the indigenous people of north the ne few minority iran four thousand effects live at the seaside relying on the riches of the underwater world for their survival. and the 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 an 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 sakhalin energy company launched several social programs for the indigenous minorities which include employment of the needs at their facilities

. plants and used it as you could in the company sponsors health care cultural 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 full month and much but it's a quality of life for lots. of ski on sea reporting from the cycling region turning out of some other stories making headlines across the globe japan's prime minister naoto kawabata has carried out a cabinet reshuffle that included the appointment of a new foreign minister official say khan is seeking to put his new stamp on the ministration and party leadership after surviving a challenge to his job earlier this week can cap the posts of finance defense and

how welcome to business i will go straight to our top story business leaders from around the world are in sochi capital of the twenty fourteen olympics the ideal international investment forum will last for two days out of business men and officials from all over the world from it so i think of course it has a way it tended to exhibit both way innovative technologies developed by the us. now some of russia's leading bank so i'd lining their investment plans at the forums back plans to spend one point two billion dollars on the olympic infrastructure saying about the rubles banks president have one graph said despite the recent weakening the russian currency is still quite stable. no word of. the current situation on the foreign exchange markets i.e. the ruble dollar and the ruble you relations is stable enough and i'd say the

fluctuation that we're seeing now is quite logical and is mainly tied to the actions of the market players and traders but i can say that today the ruble is the most stable it can be and there are no reasons why the behavior of investors and holders of ruble currency should change macroeconomic conditions are quite stable the oil price is also quite stable the gold and foreign currency reserves are increasing and are quite sufficient to provide a stable exchange value of the ruble and this affair was fully supported by the president of russia's number two back under a cost and he also commented on the new international banking rules a great embezzle and switzerland what basel three is now claiming that's approximately what they care in the rough for i would not. go there were always worse tricks freddie speaking will. also go where we have watched through stricter regulation in the west now they're quite similar so i don't think any further

threat of direct. experience closer to business r.t. president of russia where the president of russian railways like him or you couldn't said that a 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 movie begins this year we will suggest to the board of directors to increase the investment program of russian railways off the around thirty billion rubles and we also will suggest to reconsider all plans for two cells until they wanted to solve the twelve. we will consider this improvement as the basis for for the calculations of the next year compared to. pre-crisis periods of twelve we still like ten percent below of the level but compared to the last year of course

we have like fifteen percent price so if we are satisfied with the work and the customers they also satisfied but still i suppose. there is a room for further improvement. several 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 invest and foremost. 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 these potential sort of the just for you know old old capitalization the power is so specific you know the companies will lower your logistics resembles to you bill to them or you know no more ready to move to become our target is that all of our company is being developed to the standard that we're able to lease them in your time want you know when the market say we'll build we think it's that i thought i

mean so that it's so there so it's more important for us to focus on internal efficiency you know the internal. you know capacity of them to fit the bill use its own show force to so that if we decide to go public we can beat anybody goldman's in the markets you know if markets open up and become positive and we can be really good. and that brings us to the markets here's where shares are mostly higher follow following mixed results on wall street trends nick is up one point two percent stocks edged higher after tokyo intervened in currency markets to keep the young drives around here this week as a result shares of exporters such as condom on are hot at one point seven percent in hong kong and saying this trading also one point twenty five percent shares in europe rising morning trade as miners gain after a rise in copper and gold britain's force is up over a percent so is germany's dax care for six percent to its highest level since two thousand and eight that's after the group unveiled
