a polish police upon arrival in the country he's wanted in russia in connection with atrocities in the north caucasus because it's a political asylum in the u.k. and very shortly we would checking in with a pair of correspondents to get the latest on this developing story. all right now a u.s. senate panel has approved the nuclear arms reduction deal signed with russia in april the start treaty which now needs to be ratified by the full senate could see the countries reduce their stockpiles by a third but while the u.s. president is urging lawmakers to speed up the process in-house issues could hamper ratification as artie's guy nature can reports. 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 say at the same way they're committed 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 ratify it or not and judging. 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. . well the start treaty could go a long way in helping to modernize and improve nuclear defense that's the opinion of gary hart former u.s. senator and a 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 boat or 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 had 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 endangering it so a limited argument can be made for modernization of nuclear arsenals certainly not expansion of the if we are serious about dramatic reductions in these nuclear arsenals then we widen the club and bring in all the 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. and you can watch the full interview with gary hart former american senate co-chair of the commission on u.s. policy towards russia this sunday right here on our. a suspected russian criminal mastermind is being treated in a moscow hospital after an attempt on his life nicknamed her grandpa her son here's thought to have fallen victim to a gangster war right in the center of the capital artie's you've got a pretty good offers more from the crime scene. vincent happened here on this quiet sign street in the very heart of moscow at around eight pm on thursday evening cyan also known as grandpa son thought to be

a major criminal ward in russia ryan to reportedly visit his son who lives in this building over here and grandpa's son accompanied by his bodyguard were trying to enter the building walking through this door over here the shots were fired the bodyguard went down first and according to reports from the witnesses grandpa son actually tried dodging the bullets but ended up getting one in his stomach that's when their driver ran out and called the ambulance the hitmen was firing the shots from one of those windows on the third floor of that building the distance between these two houses is really small and when the authorities came the saw that window was open and when they checked the apartment the found a weapon which is thought to have been used both men were rushed to hospital but soon authorities announced that grandpa son had died a leader they denied this information saying that they gave out false reports on purpose in order to prevent a second possible assassination attempt grandpas son is thought to be someone who

is called by the code that is a person who has reached such a height in the criminal world that he can control supervise and benefit from criminal activities various criminal activities without actually leaving any traces or leaving any proof and it is thought that grandpa son controls most of the organized criminal groups in russia and in the c.i.s. there's already one version of why allegedly it's because of this major war going on between two giant gangster groups and they're currently fighting over some sports facilities in seven russian grandpa son would be close to him it's four years gangster award known by the name of the points you call was assassinated back into. was basically his right hand man since two thousand and nine we've heard various reports of gangs towards ensuring the nation's border in russia and

in western europe as well in switzerland or spring when bodies are prone to all people suspected of being connected to abuse or bat gang or criminal group in russia. or let's give out to our top story now here are nazi moscow is asking poland to extradite one of russia's most notorious terrorist suspects. was detained by a polish police upon arrival in the country he is wanted in russia in connection with atrocities in the north caucasus but currently has political asylum in the u.k. for the latest developments we are joined by ati's catherine a lot of us from moscow and alexey yet to lie for us in warsaw and hello to you both alexey we'll start with you what it was uncertain whether or not warsaw would take the step of detaining but now they've done it tell us more about what's happened. well first of all we understand this suspected terrorist one of the most wanted man in russia was detained in warsaw he came here to attend the third world

congress of the chechen people and that's where he was detained on his way to the local prosecutor's office it's still unclear what was just mission in this prosecutor's office here was but we know from one of the spokespersons of this event of the chechen congress that it's a kind of came here to testify saying that poland is not his enemy and this country is not his enemy and he has nothing to run away from is nothing to hide now we understand that the latest news concerning is that an official inquiry for his arrest has been issued by the prosecutor's office of poland and we are waiting for this inquiry to reach the general prosecutor's office and to see whether his detention will be extended we know that now he. he had been questioned by the local authorities and he is now still in detention still it is really unclear what fate awaits. as there have been very very cold comments coming from the polish officials

including prime minister. going to the prosecutor general tells me that they have no choice but to start extradition procedures but these procedures do not mean an instant extradition and the russian side shouldn't necessarily hope for a decision that will satisfy. them. we're waiting of course for any comments to come from the polish officials but now as we understand the latest is still in detention in central warsaw and that's where he will remain at least until the end of today on alexey thank you for that now let's turn over to moscow. russia wants to seize a kind of extradited but it's not the first time moskos tried to get its hands on him is it. no definitely not the first not the second major not even be the last time or a russia has declared this man wanted nearly a decade ago in two thousand and one person nationally and then internationally but

britain which gave him political asylum and the status of a political refugee you said that the man in two thousand and three saying that he was a law abiding citizen on its territory and therefore should not be extradited of course russia maintains that this man is one of the most wanted men in the country and should he be extradited he will be facing very serious charges ranging from murder kidnapping to extortion terrorism and extremist activity as russian prosecutors believe they have more than a evidence to link him to one of the most terrible terrorist acts of recent years in russia namely the gulf but here's the scene in two thousand and two he's also believed to be one of the masterminds behind the ongoing on the arrest. in russia's ball of tile north caucasus region so a lot of the evidence the prosecutors do claim they have and i'm already sent over to their polish polish colleagues in order to look at and make up their decision of

course the polish side is firmly is going to be the ones to decide the matter the ball is firmly in their court right now but both sides have been very careful to say that there are no politics involved in the decision that everything that will be done concerning separate space will be done strictly by law. on terms of the polish prosecutor general has said the polish sides will act in accordance with the international obligations it was taken upon itself mr sherman saturday quote our actions will not be based on political factors model. russia's prosecutor general yury cheika said it is evangelism extradition to russia his rise will be observed and he will stand a fair trial in court. so far of course going by the book doesn't exactly brought any results mr so still remains a citizen of the world enjoying his political refugee status in the u.k.

but this may just be the break that russian prosecutors meet should he be extradited back to russia a trial is certainly a long way away. alex he is going to live in moscow that was a lie. while poland may appear reluctant to extradite akhmed zakayev but the new warmer relations between the two countries do offer some hope in this case that's according to the linux editor in chief of the russian newspaper. given the fact that russia has treated poland there respectfully. some polish ones i would say like the cartoon massacre one thousand nine hundred forty or russia treated there respectfully the tragic crash of the presidential plane. last april and i think we have an improved climate in polish russian relationship and

there's give this gives me hope that the matter will be priests pursued and proceeded legally. with respect to international for international law. now do remember you can always find much more news on our website dot com where you'll find the best videos blogs and expert opinions and here's what's waiting for you right now dot com russian helicopters may soon be seen in the skies of afghanistan as nato forces are keen to use them in the fight against the taliban. and russian communists one of the police every breath sting takes as they call for the british to be put behind bars find out what.

ground for investors both big and small but she's going to make it up as normal the russian economy is still not spoiled by the attention of investors neither foreign nor local ones the russian business climate is strange 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. the optimism about the prospects for the economy was shared by a number of delegates among them with sam allen c.e.o. of and heavy engineering for the. best that already about a hundred twenty million are ahead and. sell it in our facility without really having. down that because the tension here the next twenty thirty years is tremendous. russia has nine percent of the world's terrible landmass and it needs to come into production high production agriculture and population continues to

grow this is a two day event on saturday the winter olympics in sochi in two thousand and fourteen will be one of the main subjects we'll have full coverage of that plus all the deals handed out there. and in news coming from the event russian state corporation russian to colleges and buying has signed a contract to supply fifty boats than three seven airplanes they will be a quiet for air force russian allies. and a unit of russian technologists probably invest has signed agreements to for direct investment funds totally eight hundred million dollars with gulf state investors projects it infrastructure and real estate. some of russia's leading banks are outlining their investment plans at the forum spare bank plans to spend one point two billion dollars on olympic infrastructure speaking about the rubles burbank's president herman graf said despite the recent weaken in the russian currency is still quite stable to. 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 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. it will sector is well represented at this sort of investment form the head of a will smith spoke exclusively to r.t. . there should be we've reached a consensus with our main creditors speer bank and they downsize their new interest from twelve percent to eight and they expect their not tobar will start working with the new rates that will free up a lot of money up to two hundred million dollars this money will be used to fill

license agreements still development capital investments and buying new assets that will help the company to improve its output and to stabilize its financial condition. let's have a look at the markets in russia the r.t.s. and the my suits were mixed at the close the r.t.s. was trading marginally in the black and white six finished down point nine percent shares of porter's goldthwaite dollar one of two percent russia's biggest producer released its first stop that from one hundred five million dollars to international financial reporting standards that's down more than thirty percent from the same period of last year upsetting investors. and it was a quite a week for the markets but they still managed to trade slightly higher i see metropole senior analyst gave us his. show this week we saw a combination of profit taking on the other hand we're sore investors continuing to going into the market and investors are starting to catch up to the new markets

around the data we store strong data out of the united states namely industrial production came slightly above expectations because of the russian market and this week it actually took clues from the global markets performance and more also but very slightly among specific factors that affected the russian market this week where they're working on the ruble which was quite significant and came somewhat on expected i think it's a temporary situation and i think we're going to see a ruble strengthening getting taking back some of their losses. that's it for now we'll be bringing you the latest information from the international investment forum in sorte chief next hour and you can get more news from a web site r.t. dot com slash business.
