6:04 am
live from the center of moscow this is r.t. welcome to the program one of russia's most wanted terrorist suspects has reportedly been detained by polish police moscow had already prepared a case for extradition russia's top prosecutor has guaranteed that in the event of extradition so a rights will be observed in full under international law. as article has been following the details. the bolshoi the state has said that they will detain misters archive should here arrive on polish territory because there is an outstanding international arrest warrant in his name russia made the notice to enter paul almost a decade ago and since that mr class has been a wanted man not only in this country but in the entire. in all the territories
6:05 am
that are covered by enter falso of course polish authorities said that they will detain the man and have detained the man hour earlier this morning when he was leaving his. place of residence in poland they now are trying to figure out what exactly to do with them because they 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 this is a guy have to rush out 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
6:06 am
that of course will be a decision that lies solely with the polish side 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 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 that those the attempts have not been successful but the fact the polish authorities have detained as archive despite the fact that he has recently frequently and. they traveled to other countries including before with no arrests following this code signify a change and perhaps the russian extradition request will be granted of course if it is. transferred back to russia he faces a number of very serious charges including murder kidnapping the store ship and
6:07 am
participating in terrorist extremist activity 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 being able to be one of the one of the masterminds behind. the story that they believe many believe prosecutors that is one of the people responsible for the ongoing volatile situation in the russian south. to be not about right there now for more on this we can talk to fred with a journalist from the christian science monitor thank you for joining us today so. some russian officials say the public now has three options on this matter send back to the u.k. extradite him to russia or simply release him which are which way do you think it's going to go well i'm not sure about two of them but i'm pretty much sure that they will not extradite him to russia you know. this is a situation where the poles are fulfilling their international obligations by
6:08 am
executing this warrant. but extradition is another matter and i don't think there are very many european countries that that would under the present circumstances extradite him or a lot of other people back to russia and the fundamental problem i mean to put it bluntly is that there is a perception that people and particularly people who are seen as opponents of the russian government will not receive a full true fair trial in russia and as long as that is the case i don't think that it's politically possible to to extradite people lexicographer the polish i promise o'donnell said that the decision will be made taking into account the country's interests here what do you think those interests could be. well. i think poland does want better relations with russia and this is a this is a problem. and they have they have gone through the motions of executing the arrest
6:09 am
warrant and so on but poland particularly among european countries is a place where it would be politically impossible i mean it would be politically impossible for any government polish government to to actually send him back to russia now as a kind of was reportedly in warsaw just last august why do you think he wasn't arrested then well i think the case now is that he came for a very high profile public event the chechen world congress where he is a figure he's a figure in that community and therefore it was impossible to ignore his presence in poland whereas on private visits to other places it's easy for police and prosecutors turned a blind eye to that. right fred we're from the christian science monitor thank you very much. well president obama is pushing forward plans to double u.s. exports in the next five years move that could generate two million jobs the proposal to help america's troubled economy comes amid claims that the country is recovering
6:10 am
from the global financial crisis but with the number of people facing poverty at a fifty year high 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 now that is just something down 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 like the one who are going to morrow and it's not
6:11 am
enough you know it's just not enough to get all the poor 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 thirteen jenny can't afford to buy food for her mother and three year old son not with illness in public assistance is just not enough money and a part time job they don't need any more hours than i believe to for a job this 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 u.s. 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 they want to look for twenty's are few and far between especially in the old urban industrial cities are rather slim as in so many cities in the united states manufacturing used to power this one these were still factories that now are
6:12 am
decrepit boarded up sitting in disrepair there are signs everywhere here of the u.s. . and you factoring jobs that have disappeared or gone overseas factory work all of the low level jobs that these folks with most meals are sort of how do you know you . 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. three. some of the workers who are some are homeless not surprisingly. there are twenty percent more mouths to feed here ava's kitchen than a year ago why. now and some can't work like irwin 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
6:13 am
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 caller i don't know was the press the door. for me is the snow blower better. in the urban decay of silk city gratitude is reserved for the help with recovery they do know. they feel they. know you share your very character lauren lyster artie patterson new jersey and coming up next is our high impact discussion show cross talk and on the table this time is the budgets of china on the international stage and people avails guests already so share some insight into the reasons driving the country's record
6:14 am
. it's not so much the chinese want to be thought of the chinese want to be humiliated here they speak of that hundred years of humiliation the japanese invasion the opium wars you know from the outside world and they just are so sensitive about this this kind of humiliation that they want to move through and get on the other side of that's what drives them in here rather than want to be well thought of which they do two or another level but deep down it's no more humiliation. and. it's just now turning twelve minutes past the hour here in moscow you're with me now a suspected russian criminal mastermind is being treated in
6:15 am
a moscow hospital after an attempt on his life nicknamed the grandpa son he is thought to a full and victim to a gangster war right in the center of the capital you go to place going to office at the crime scene. of incident happened at around eight pm moscow time on thursday evening when iceland will say i am also known as grandpa son of god to be a major criminal lord in russia i arrived at one of the buildings on fire square street in the very center of moscow it's reported that he wanted to visit his son who lives here in the neighborhood and as grandpa and his bodyguard were approaching the entrance to the building several shots were fired the bodyguard went down first and 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 thought he's gained the found a suspicious looking window in the building nearby and when they checked this apartment they found a weapon just thought to have been used in this assassination attempt according to
6:16 am
some reports this was a sniper rifle both men were rushed to the hospital enough already soon and else to grandma's house on their leader they deny this information saying that by giving out for three hours they wanted to prevent a possible second attack really both men are recovering from undergoing surgery at the one of moscow's hospitals which is clearly heavily guarded by the authorities the grand baja sun is thought to be someone who's called thief by the call 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 the knowledge to criminal law order known by the name of you point she was assassinated back in two thousand and nine as a result of these criminal wars and allegedly grandpa son alleged
6:17 am
to revenge his death some analysts to see that if the information about the sniper rifle is correct then judging by the fact that you pointed to was killed using a sniper rifle as well the same. they see that they were going to maybe hinting at the fact that these two attacks may be connected. to his going off reporting that now the u.s. senate foreign relations committee has voted in favor of the nuclear arms reduction treaty or start signed with russia in april the deal which now needs approval from the full senate could eventually see the two countries reduce their warhead stockpiles by a third but as artie's a guy nature can report 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
6:18 am
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
6:19 am
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 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 can express their concerns but they can't really change the trading they can either ratify it or not and doesn't. what senators were saying that there is they they surely will the question is the way i'm going to check out our reporting from washington d.c. . the right of the creation start treaty is
6:20 am
a way to modernize and improve nuclear defense well that's the opinion of gary hart former senator and member of the commission on u.s. policy towards russia it's a large step it will get rid of dangerous unnecessary nuclear weapons on both sides at the end of the day there will be a vote on the treaty people will have to vote for it or against it and those who vote against it are going to have to justify why they voted against it and why it makes us more secure not to have a treaty then if we have the treaty if you replace. warheads or delivery systems that are old and increasingly unstable with a newer generation more secure technology you are actually improving security rather than in danger yet so a limited argument can be made for modernization of nuclear arsenals certainly not
6:21 am
expansion of the if we are serious about hermetic reductions in these nuclear arsenals then we widen the club and bring in all have nuclear powers and say enough we're all we're going to get rid of all these it does seem like. kind of ideal dream but it is a goal to reach for. this sunday you can watch the full interview with gary hart a former american senator and co-chair of the commission on u.s. policy towards russia. well crew members of a. space flight to the international space station have been confirmed by a joint in russia u.s. commission the mission involving a modified for use spacecraft will deliver new equipment to the station's team consists of two russian cosmonauts and one american astronaut or a spacecraft will be launched from the baikonur site in kazakhstan in october. or let's get to some other worldwide news now the pakistani city of karachi has

6:25 am
russian business climate is claimed to have problems sometimes these claims are justified sometimes not we know our problems really well and we will solve them the key factor for the russian government will be a measured and rather conservative macroeconomic policy. and staying with a forum some of russia's leading banks outlining their investment plans out the forms bare bank plans to spend one point two billion dollars on a limbic infrastructure speaking about the rubles their banks present herrmann graph said to spike the recent weakening the russian currency is still quite stable . towards a number of more than the current situation on the foreign exchange market i.e. the ruble dollar and the ruble euro relations is stable enough and i'd say the fluctuation that we're seeing now is quite logical and is mainly tied to the
6:26 am
actions of the market players and traders but i can see that today the ruble is the most stable it can be and there are no reasons why the behavior of investors and holders of rouble 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. as a player was fully supported by the president of russia's number two bank under a cost and he also commented on the new international banking rules a grade in basil in switzerland what basel three is now. that's approximately what the care in the right for our national call there was worth frankly speaking we'll. also have already we have watched through stricter regulation in the west now they're quite similar so i don't think any further of a direct. as speaking exclusively to business president of russian railways as you
