prosecutors are doing everything on their side to make sure that finally their extradition request is heard and zacharias faces trial here in russia. also on our preparations for saturday's parliamentary elections in afghanistan are marred by ask relating violence with the taliban stepping up words and kidnappings. also gangster wars in moscow an attempt on the life of an alleged top mafia boss right in the city's center puts him in hospital was. the first major projects of the truth doesn't fall to insult you winter olympics goes operational or in twenty minutes.

a warm welcome to you live from our headquarters in central moscow this is archie with me a nice now way it's ten pm here in the russian capital eight pm in warsaw where polish prosecutors have filed a request for a forty day arrest of one of russia's most notorious terrorist suspects meds a copy of was due to. by polish police upon arrival in the country moscow is calling on warsaw to extradite him he is wanted in russia in connection with atrocities in the north caucuses but has political asylum in the u.k. our correspondents are following the story catherine in moscow and a lexer in the polish capital but meds a cry from you about the fact that he could be arrested here and we are so he came here to attend the third world congress of the chechen people and he was detained on his way to a local prosecutor's office but it's really hard to say what's his mission in this particular surface whereas as far as we know from one of his representatives he came here showing that he had nothing to hide from the polish authorities and that

poland was not his enemy anyway he was detained he still remains in detention and the latest news we've heard from the general prosecutor's office in poland is that it has filed an official inquiry to keep that kind of arrest for the next thirty days this is we have to the country's president general's office representative had to say on that. we filed a request to the cotton wool suit to rest a client for forty days the coup will decide whether or not this will be done but we think concerning that kind of we should resort to the strictest measure which is arrest nevertheless it is still really hard to say what fate awaits the one of the most whims of men in russia the suspected terrorist that moves up to as many women serving family from the. during the day but over these comments pretty vague are let's get more from consulate in moscow of course considering that russia wants to see as a client extradited it is not the first time they've tried to death in mexico does

it. not at all and he said not the first not the second may not even be the last time that russia attempts to extradite him as a crime and bring him back to russia in order to try him for a number of atrocious crimes ranging from murder and kidnapping to extortion and terrorist and extremist activities although all of those charges have been filed against the man nearly a decade ago in two thousand and one when he was declared a wanted man first nationally and then internationally but he was granted political asylum in the u.k. and was the u.k. as a magistrate court later in two thousand and three refused to extradite the man believing him to be a political refugee and say now on its territory and he remained a law abiding citizen therefore denying russia its extradition request despite the fact that an agreement exists between moscow and london governing the exchange of suspected criminals and the extradition of said criminals in order for them to

stand trial in their own countries but this in fact may well be the closest russia has so far gotten to extraditing them as a quiet and actually making him stand trial of course his detention and the order for his arrest issued in poland may well be the chance russia has been hoping for the ball is in poland's court right now but both sides. we came to our know on the fact that what decision is made when the decision is made it will be free of any political influence and done strictly by the book. just as a police prosecutor general has said dipali side to act in accordance with international obligations and upon itself mr sherman saturday quote our actions will not be based on political factors model letter of the rules 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. martial prosecutor's office have already said over all of the documents translated into polish regarding these suspicions allegations and charges concerning ahmedzai but even if poland should grant russia's extradition request it will be a very long time before that's up five sets court on russian soil and even longer before his trial begins. because this case further we're now joined live by pavel's the nevsky a polish member of the european parliament good evening mr zalewski thank you for joining us this evening i'd like to begin by asking you what you think the chances of that being extradited to russia are at this moment. so the chances to expel that there's a kind of to russia and just to. to realize their russian authorities requests in my opinion are equal to zero and there are many many reasons for that first of all. it.

took about. which were presented to the danish carter some years ago eight years ago it was the same that the comments regarding the same charges. were just very carefully. discussed very good. very carefully screened by independent don you should carter and they were not. such which enabled this kind of move just to expose mr was a quiet so to russia so there were many dogs regarding the probability of this. is this evidence is second reason is that in russia still. there is a death penalty and of course all the charges or some of the charges mr.

could be punished by this penalty even if there is a kind of moratorium in the russia force of this penalty it's impossible for the polish cards to send anybody to the contrary it were this penalty is. just in the. system let's not let the latter is less so in this time just to remember one of the charges that russia accuses mr and that is of course of a theater siege a terror act that took place last decade in this decade in russia it's considered to be one of the biggest terror acts of the decade so this is of course something that was looks that very seriously do you think that's why the post authorities have gone ahead and in fact detains a con. so first of all i think that the old evidence is that old charges will be. this cost to be. will be taken very seriously by

the polish court that this. is it this according to there you go procedure or however as i mentioned there was a legal obstacles first of all that there is. this penalty in russia. that. makes the push cart very very doubtful to agree with a russian request and there is also is also the last. reason for the process of diction. is such that the last word belongs to the minister of justice of the polish republic and it is the political. decision of the government and we have very clear. decision of the

polish prime minister cannot imagine that mr. hu stays in great britain. who gained. particulars and. could be expelled to russia therefore i think that first of all we have to. pass all the legal process your. it would take some time i don't know how many days i think that some weeks so it will last however i don't expect the decisions that. could be. could be sent could be expelled to. russia but that said do you think that poland is more likely to jeopardize relations with russia over the west. no it is not a problem of. jeopardizing anything. poland is a country which. is very. extremely important as i think

very important. as a rule of law and as a matter of fact the process which is. realized right now is realized by independent from the government. prosecutor office. independent of. the car too of course is independent and we have to wait for. decisions first right from a member of the european parliament. from warsaw thank you very much for your comments there thank you very much thank you. you're with artsy live from moscow still ahead for you this hour from boom to bust we look at the poverty that's heading america's worst song battered industrial towns. and retro ride the russian and ukrainian presidents cast aside state vehicles in favor of the
