afghanistan is hit by deadly blasts on parliamentary election day and so authorities struggle to secure the country while many voters stay away from it so

that's. one of russia's most wanted terror suspects arrested then released in warsaw is awaiting a court decision on this extradition. and find out what danger is my at the bottom of the baltic sea he reveals the world war two relics that are still posing problems. plus brazil. russia india and china all the brits laying a new foundation for the world economy that's in twenty minutes on t.v. business. it's good to have you with us this is a lie from moscow parliamentary elections in afghanistan have been mobbed by

militant attacks on threats of more violence from the taliban several people are reported killed in separate incidents across the country while there have also been rocket attacks in kabul and jalalabad. has more from the afghan capital. we're at one of some six thousand polling stations across afghanistan and as you can see behind me a relatively reasonable turnout there have also been no reports of violence at this particular station so far this is probably because we're in the capital city of kabul where really should be speaking the situation is a lot calmer and a lot safer than it is on some of the regions where more than one thousand four hundred stations have been forced to close the doors because of it's on the telephone with the polls open on time this morning at seven o'clock local time one of the first people to cross just run it this place is some of karzai and he urged afghans to follow up the search now one of the major concerns of course remains that of security there all of course coming from all any exposing station that took

a direct hit by a rocket in the eastern part of the country we're hearing of injuries we're hearing of people killed if you like things to try to level out as well as in the eastern city of last february here with some injuries including afghan officials we've established city of kandahar has also made it and while kabul so far has been reasonably safe it was one of succession more in the early hours of this morning before the polls opened the other concern is that of increasing marriage chance now we are hearing that in some of the stations to include is also poor country so much so that instead of exhausting all the people saying there are still some ninety six i was after they voted and that is the ink that shows that people in texas have rotated in some cases people are reported being able to wash that inconsistency in minutes which means that they have a possibility to come back and vote again we're also hearing from the independent electoral commission that they have uncovered thousands if not tens of thousands of fake ballot boxes these concerns are significant particularly in light of last

year's presidential elections which were marred by reports of widespread corruption and that will be the other main concern on his mind as they come and cast their ballot today and whether or not it is a ballot and will make a difference outside a strong second. president cheney's of thousands if not backed up by the saudi forces in iraq the french coming into the polling station we were tricked because we were also stopped by secret way from listening station and for stock market economy if you will go cost me five hundred police has two officers who have traveled to the top united nations official today and it's time to place a serious was to point to make sure no one ever who was. signing on fire to have twenty one different issues and seeing to some kind of the system or pricing policy at r t a couple. well look at some more reaction on this from washington d.c. my lou innocent foreign policy expert from the cato institute says the election is

falling short of standards of democracy and exposes deeper problems within the country. given the amount of insecurity and instability in the fact that there are flawed voter registries there's been voter intimidation voter bribery there's a great deal of uncertainty as to what's going to happen and despite the fact that there are twenty four hundred candidates. forty of them are women you have to really understand that the complexity of all this means that there really won't be what we would define as a liberal democratic electoral process what's interesting is that there's sort of a paradox with u.s. policy and u.s. policy makers in particular especially regarding this election and they're placing so much emphasis on these processes on the fact that you know these are elections that allow the voice of the afghan people to speak to the world that this is shows that they're on the march toward a democratic process but the same time they're placing so much emphasis on a process that is deeply profoundly flawed and so if they're going to place such a huge light on this process and it could be so fundamentally problematic this sort

of underscores underscores a sort of broader problems and so most of metaphor for the problems we have in the country as a whole appears a little blatantly hypocritical why we're sort of supporting what is essentially a very highly unpopular and corrupt regime in kabul that many people think are essentially a us puppet and yet we're sort of touting the ideals of liberty and democracy and freedom if we undercut a lot of the principles we stand for and it makes us very hypocritical. like this is still ahead for you in the program we hit the campaign trail for us amid. the fight in an all time high in poverty in more than fifteen years these big name conservative leaders say what american way to ban gay marriage to bring god back and find out what values voters put at the top of the list in times of crisis thoughts in just a few moments right here on. morning

news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. operation today. close up again has been to their hang. for the first russian fleet was. goes to the area. annoying gas resources. where the biggest russian salmon caviar processing factories located. where unique species of fauna can be found. i should close up.

one of russia's most wanted terrorist suspects who was detained in poland on friday on an international arrest warrant has just been released in the next few days the court will determine whether i. should be extradited to russia following moscow's demand to turn him over. the years following developments for us in warsaw. walked out of this very building the warsaw is district court late on friday night after the court decided that it cannot keep in detention any longer the court justified this decision saying that. has a political refugee status in the u.k. and this status applies to the whole of the european union and that's why as a cry of had to be released it is really hard to say now whether this decision was somehow influenced by his lawyers any kind of bail but what we've heard from the officials in the court is that if i had to be released because of his political refugee status now i'd like to remind two of you was that one of russia's wanted

terror suspects was detained in warsaw early on friday morning after he came here to attend the third old world congress of the chechen people and as long as it has an international arrest warrant issued on him he is wanted by the interpol he was detained in a war cell for questioning in the local prosecutor's office now they have been lots of comments coming from the officials in poland concerning the fate of the concerning concerning whether he would be extradited to russia including comments from the country's prime minister donors. are going to the prosecutor general tells me they have no choice but to start extradition procedures but these procedures do not mean instant extradition and the russian side shouldn't necessarily hope for a decision that will satisfy the media is now speculating here in poland where the can leave the country as we heard comments from the representative of the district court in warsaw that is free to leave the country we know that he is now attending

the congress of the chechen people obviously the mission which he came here for and we still expecting any news whatsoever on the whether he will be extradited or not and whether he can leave the country or not it's been a tough battle for moscow to persuade other countries that must be extradited since as i was. wanted political asylum in the u.k. and at the same time he was placed on the most wanted list in russia he is accused of trustees in the north caucasus region including many different horrible things terror attacks in the caucasus region including a terror attack in moscow in the theater siege the nord-ost theater siege which took place in moscow believes that as a cry of has his involvement in that attack as well he is good friends with buddies because of ski another person who is wanted in russia for money laundering and fraud and ever since the these two were placed on most wanted list by moscow russia has been trying to persuade the u.k.

for these two to be extradited but so far these attempts have been futile and both remain in political asylum an asylum in the u.k. indeed this situation when he was detained in poland is the closest so far most school has got to getting back to russia and holding trial over him but this story is yet unclear and whether he will be extradited to moscow is still unclear. to select a yoshi if the reporting right there well is sort of a strong political analyst from the newspaper told us why he thinks poland will not extradite so to russia. i think that despite current approach men and russian pose for relations and despite russia strong pledge pledges to extradite him i don't think that we expect him to come back to russia i personally would be very surprised if he's extradited for simple reason that still this is a very politically charged issue and the as you understand. the ruling elite they

also have the only mitigations they have all on domestic agenda and they can go to fry and so i see at this as a sort of cat and mouse game you see this all in all i think you would not gold rush they were a subgroup conflicting reports some said that he was not informed that he might be arrested but i think the reason is that he simply understood that polish authorities had no guts just to arrest him and to send him to russia and in fact it was proved yes to do and polish prime minister said that russia should not go to fly expectations definitely i think this is is a moment of truth for our relations moment just to see how mature this relations are while asking polish side just to send like i have to moscow we make it ourselves clear that he's not going to go into now or he's not going to face kind of reports of course of what he's facing that those are very serious accusations but definitely he would be intitled to best lawyers and the case would be fully

transparent and it would come under close scrutiny of international community of international human rights activists so i don't understand why such a big fuss or what that's why he can go to russia can be extradited. we are coming to you live from the russian capital this is r.t. and the u.s. is preparing for midterm elections against a background of more grim news this week for its economy but on the campaign trail for some parties it's not finance but actually family values that should be the priority christine for sol has been following the so-called conservative values voter summit. they say they came to take america back it isn't our values our shared timeless values that have changed has it it's our leaders that have changed. in campaign like speeches they criticized among other things president obama the white house tries to argue that their stimulus has

helped. that's a bit like saying that squirting water from a garden hose helps put out a forest fire one day after staggering numbers were released from the u.s. census bureau showing a more than fourteen percent increase of those living below the poverty line powerful organizations and big name politicians came out to spread this message you cannot divorce the social issues from the fiscal and financial issues so just what are these pressing social issues like anything else everything's great help if you're very familiar with the first one organization says marriage in america is under attack marriage is a fundamental right but there is not a fundamental right to marry whoever you want our government our policies have always regulated who you marry or who you may not marry the national organization of marriage wants to keep it that way in other words no gay marriage and speaking of gays tradition family and property works to keep them out of the military when

you fight for freedom shouldn't you also want to have freedom. obviously we have and we have to for it for freedom and freedom does not mean license to do whatever you want and these issues so important to the masses here a new lobbying group has been formed its aim is that republican elected officials to get them to put social issues back at the top of their agenda these are elected officials they were sent to washington to represent the people in their districts in their states many of these people the bottom line is they can't pay their mortgage they don't have a job shouldn't that be the number one focus the thing is is that the issue of the middle class that's the main issue at stake here the middle class has a number of priorities it's the main class that is the emphasis for social issues well you heard it here first the middle class cares most about social issues a month there is one issue even more important to the participants here god hala

evan names from an almighty god and that guy. confers upon the individual power and then the individual in turn each confirms up portion of that power on the government reserving all the remainder of the power to themselves for the last two years the most down the conservative movement have come from the tea party key which stands for tax enough already well here in the voters believe that perhaps a turning point that things are changing that despite an all time high in poverty in more than fifteen years at these big name conservative leaders say what america needs is to ban gay marriage to bring god back in. the morning in washington christine right now our team. now if you were to go fishing in the baltic sea then you might be shocked by what you really in thousands of world war two mines and mortar shells remain on the seabed and is still considered to be a risk. of

a reports on the efforts to make the area safe. cold word but determined to do or does a man on a mission and that mission is to monitor the state of all german munitions. even with merchant got visibilities load just a couple of metres their missiles every web somewhere in boxes and tightly packed together the boat could be from world war two it's wrecked some shells actually laying on the seabed near but. one and a half kilometers of sewer seventeen meters under water and turned suddenly sile still on board this german ship is just one of the many reminders a world war two in the baltics the russian emergences ministry list some was ninety underwater hotspots in this area alone but only a few have been checked several in little which you know possible these missiles are very dangerous there are none that have rusted away and become homeless on the contrary some of that we take out here in very good working condition when. the sun

can ship is on the russian emergencies ministry to do list but with money tight and bureaucracy lawn and complicated it's not something that can be done quickly and while they wait local fishermen feel the weapons will still get their chance to fulfill their deadly role boats have been known to return to port with all torpedoes in their nets captain valeri or motion knows only too well the dangers he says the deeper your net goes the bigger the trouble it can bring out. once a fisherman from our village at thirty six missiles in his net he was fishing near it on cape and brought the multiple tees they put all the missiles right on the deck what else could you do though relatively small in size the baltics is the most densely mined area with around one hundred fifty some of the new missions to bury there the clock is ticking louder now as time and see what are against the residents of the whole area could be of help by a sudden explosion unless the urgent measures are taken sound like

a troll or are. we are approaching the twenty minute mark here in the russian capital you all with r.t. and in a few moments you will be here with business news for the meantime the headlines from around the world now in brief drill rescue hole this finally reached thirty three trapped chilean miners stuck underground since. the government says that if all goes to plan the mine is could be freed by early november they were trapped when the main access tunnel to the san jose gold mine collapsed the courage of the men has been praised in the capital of santiago chile bonks the two hundredth anniversary was independence from spain. benedict has spoken of its deep over the sexual abuse of children by priests on the davis tour of britain he said the scandal that he shame upon the catholic church and what's being seen as the strongest apology yet the comments were made at westminster cathedral where he was leading. in the day he met with prime minister david cameron.

is being poured into b.p.'s oil well in the gulf of mexico bringing it one step closer to being sealed b.p. is expecting the well to be completely fixed by the end of the day. spilling into the gulf temporary was placed on the well in mid july the explosion of the deepwater horizon rig and april or rather that was in april it killed eleven people leading to the worst offshore oil spill in u.s. history. well the business with you is coming your way in just a few moments stay with us. hungry for the full story we've got it for. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. hello

and a very warm welcome to the business program innovation partnership technology these are the key themes of the sochi international investment forum which is into its second day the forum has attracted over six thousand business representatives from russia and other countries and we continue to bring you the top speakers and issues from sochi which is also hosting the twenty fourteen winter olympics. and now i'm joined live by business archies nicholas bull who is at the forum hello

nixon and they can thank you very much for joining us so nicholas is it true that russia and the other bric countries are becoming more and more attractive to investors. while there is quite a strong sense here that russia is one of the golden children of the world economy along with its british cohorts brazil india and china to find out if there's any merits to disbelief i'm joined by killing demetrius who's president of my clinic cheese thanks for joining us today has there been a paradigm shift all the west. will apply to me next or be sliding back we'll look at the thing to see is atrocious coming back very strong and the girls this is going to be a full percentage placing a point to those seventy percent since most of the industries and rush are coming back which is a key father be countries as well so i see definitely we see much more for myself grow some pre-conference i do see already developed i. will bring countries in the same out of the structure ranks in times of its growth prospects i think obviously

china they say bigger countries and you know it's growing faster but what russia has it's not only grows and it's never just second term but also lots of other sectors of their investigative work that are coming back very strong and so i think russia's support probably some place a pretty good. during yesterday's call to foreign investment in very critical russian growth so definitely russia is going to be one of the smaller players. in the brick wall probably a little bit behind china. russia isn't looking at diversify its revenue flow into something that's missing some would still. have to list if europe takes a little slow start surely to slow down. well that's definitely true but what we see is that and the crisis and we had a long discussion yesterday about the respect and the prices you know as expectation is that they're going to stay quite high and that the stuff until very

good for russia the budget next year is going to be based on say something like seventy five dollars per barrel respect patience for goldman and by the leading players as a whole is going to be definitely above eighty dollars per barrel so that creates a very stable sort of fire meant for russia generally industries such as telecommunications retail and like in the just sectors can grow very well and a striking example showed domestic demand is very important so russia is actually generating quite a bit of the mastic demand which can propel growth given despite some of the slowdown in europe. how would an investor take offense to the situation well you know there are several places want to some of this energy play which made investors have been pursuing but also new sectors merging and you know one example some will be i feel an internet company will just need some next three four months which is an example very fast growing internet sector in russia telecom this an interesting

secretary cultural place a quite interesting investor in the chest invest not only in the oil and gas but in a quite diversified sort of the freshman sectors and as prime minister said it's very important for both russia to track foreign investment and foreign investors to the benefit of the girls across the provides this is quite an optimist. to our i think that there must be risks involved with what they well to the risks so maybe but i think you mentioned her time shift and i think for a good one of her back to the breaking news developing much faster than many other places but also very diverse because in russia but now forty veterans are much welcome than they were before and i think was that the russian government is committed to resolving the risks but the risks all because of their offices you know you tell me more it's more efficient social of the first time but the russian government wants to deal with me mourning that's a still very welcome you know i think very much in europe to be free of prison life and i think you'd like nicholas thank you very much for this indeed artie's

nicholas paul reporting live from the investment forum in the russian city of sochi . and the investment forum has already been a success with a number of business deals signed i mean just briefly tell you what the russians cross that out region has signed contracts with both russian and foreign investors valued at more than ten billion dollars j.k. three metro cash and carry it would also be fangoria among those willing to participate in the region's development books fagen is currently in talks with russia come a could god's plans to take a final decision on operating with the ota most of january group by the end of this year. after the us told business today it has ambitious plans to sell its budget models approach or not so in the target for this year is to export fifty thousand cars and next year we plan to sell up to fifty five

thousand on foreign markets putting the focus on the preorder and collina so we're telling our partners to promote these models. the banking sector one of russia's key sectors has been battling with enormous debts coming out of the financial crisis however not totally present off the regional banks of russia so that the sector is seeing some green shoots coming out of this year. the banking sector this year is on the whole developing well in july we saw a turning point in terms of profits which in the first eight months of this year equaled twelve billion dollars whereas profit for the whole of last year was six point four billion which means we have doubled those profit results already this year however many banks are still suffering losses these losses are mainly due to a build up of large reserves in order to cover debt problems and unfortunately the share of debt is still high. that's all we have to.
