everybody sure the supreme retreat speaks they have no idea about the hardships to face. like one it's the says it all to me it seems in the army the life of it. is the most precious thing in the world . is of self-sacrifice on television with those who understand it fully but you have to live a. real life stories. from world war two this is. a victory nineteen forty five gold altie dot com. for. plague an election campaign and what if you're a chris the candidates and see

a great policy i'll still say it's. so polish court will decide on the extradition of one of russia's most wanted terrorist suspects who was detained and later released in warsaw. and russia and norway agreed to a landmark deal that puts an end to a four decade long disagreement over disputed waters in the energy rich bering sea . eleven am in moscow with today's top stories and a look at the week that was here on r t the polls have opened in sweden's parliamentary elections with the ruling coalition expected to win the most votes but a controversial anti immigration party is so far winning most of the headlines latest

polls suggest the center right bloc headed by the swedish prime minister will win the center left opposition isn't far behind with some estimates putting them at a five per cent margin away from majority but for many observers this door has been overshadowed by the success of the far right sweden democratic party which has seen its candidates attacked and says it's been denied the right of free speech parties laura emmet reports from sweden. it's one of europe's oldest democracies but the lead up to the election in sweden has been anything but democratic candidates from the right wing sweetened democrats have been harassed and allegedly by young people from left groups. there have been several cases which passed with a notice but now it's starting to become new. we're a big party nice is getting more attention it's horrible that it should happen during an election campaign it's a threat to swedish democracy. this weekend democrats are controversial they

believe the government's immigration policy in recent years has been a failure allowing large numbers of migrants to live in enclaves where they don't learn swedish creating tension between diverse ethnic groups and draining the welfare system the estee would severely limit immigration and encourage migrants to similate to go home that's led to them being branded nazis by left wing groups this is one meeting that was allowed to go ahead but in the days leading up to the election the sweden democrats were forbidden from campaigning like this with the police saying they couldn't guarantee their safety s. d. candidate nina cain says that's tantamount to the state guaranteeing free speech with one hand but taking it away with the other and she knows all about threats to her personal safety last week she came home to find just swastika daubed on her front door so of course. i'm not scare it.

makes me angry because it's one of the things. in this party. democracy. used to be you can say what you want. a fellow s.t. candidate in a scene reminiscent of a film was tortured by huge sin his house held down the wall a swastika was carved on his forehead he told the police he told them speaking arabic in a town like malmo where thirty percent of the population was born or brought to sweden democrats have attracted significant support among the swedish born population the latest polls put their popularity nationwide at seven point six percent enough to win twenty six parliamentary seats out of three hundred forty

nine henning's a political candidate in the nearby town. doesn't agree with the message this week democrats are pushing out but thinks it's important they should be allowed to speak . here. pretty good it's. people. here in this country. other political parties have said they won't work with the sweeping democrats even if they do get elected to parliament so it's not just threats to their safety that the s.d. candidates have to worry about they're already knew. how to keep us out anyway and what about the market its people. there. at.

this weekend's election is likely to result in the sweet democrats winning their first. is likely to be a divisive. politics. the other party will have to decide. and how they're prepared to deal with this group they've tried so hard to ignore and ordinary people will have to decide whether they value free speech enough to let in and see immigration policy play a role in governing some have already shown they don't know or abbott's artsy sweet. stay with us here on our t.v. lots more ahead of your way including this. counting is underway in the afghan capital and that reports of violence and forward will bring you an update in just a few moments. and mafia wars turn the center of moscow into a gangster movie i know tori is kingpin gets shot but manages to escape with his life. first though

a polish court will determine the fate of one of russia's most wanted terrorist suspects tired was detained in warsaw on friday under an international arrest warrant but later released artie's alexei our share ski assesses the chances of being extradited to russia. two days before i arrived in warsaw the polish media was speculating over whether one of russia's most wanted terrorist suspects who was also on interpol's list would be detained just hours after he landed in warsaw was apprehended by the police show for it to us was coming to attend a very high profile event the world. which is taking place in color and it was impossible to ignore he would be making a public splash so therefore the poles had to act because they do have obligations to their european partners to the systems legal systems they belong to and i think that's what they're answering to in detaining is

a kind of the man himself seemingly confident of his immunity provided by his political refugee status made his own way to the prosecutor's office where he was detained he said poland was not his enemy and that he wanted to find out for himself why he is wanted something few in moscow believed. we heard a car i was heading to poland to turn himself into the prosecutor's office why he could go to the prosecutor's office in britain or any other country if he wanted to but he did it in poland so my theory is that it might be aimed at storing the improving relations between moscow and warsaw. poland has to consider whether to be extradited to russia and no matter how hard war so try to de politicize this issue . the prosecutor general tells me that they have no choice but to start at the 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. experts knew from the very start the decision would not be free of mind games as you understand. but they also have their own limitations but mastic agenda. and they can go to and definitely i think this is the moment of truth for our relations committee has been one of russia's most wanted since two thousand and two it is now that he walks in an elegant suit but just a decade ago he was the leader of a chechen militant group and he is believed to have been involved in a string of atrocities in the caucasus from brutal killings to kidnappings mosco says it has proved it was one of the masterminds of the most school theater siege in two thousand and two which led to more than one hundred deaths however in two thousand and three he received political asylum in britain and all attempts by russia to extradite him for trial have been futile the polish courts as we all know

considering the sex tradition request as they legally must will review. also review the basis of the decisions taken in the u.k. which granted him asylum and that asylum proved. after the polish prosecutor general's office filed a request to keep him behind bars for at least forty days or so as district court ruled that political refugee status meant more than the fact he is internationally wanted and he was immediately released on friday night i walked out the doors of warsaw as district court feeling like a free man the question is is whether he will be able to go home or will be extradited to any other country a polish courts as it may take several more days to deliver a decision on the fate of one of russia's most wanted criminals. reporting from warsaw in poland this week russia and norway signed an arctic border agreement

resolving a decades long territorial dispute the treaty created a maritime boundary any energy rich barents sea divided disputed area roughly half the size of germany the deals expected to boost offshore exploration in a region are rich with reserves of oil and natural gas. russian in the weeds and leaders aglow in from satisfaction with president dmitri medvedev and prime minister yen stoltenberg have achieved is a huge relief for their nations. it took us forty years to arrive at this agreement it's a long time but this event must certainly turn a new page in our bilateral relations and the area which stretches over one hundred seventy five thousand kilometers in the bering sea has been a bone of contention between the neighboring countries since the nine hundred seventy s. but this wasn't simply a territorial he'd containing vost oil and gas reserves profit has also been at the center of this pete but with unclear border no one could even start the series

exploration circle in this issue moscow knows lay have done with been impossible for decades and that some say because they need to boost their coffers and reserves but production both in russia and in norway is going to. need new fields and new big elephants to develop. its disputed area later. place this very promising demonstrating good will incorporate in with a nato member russia still likely opposed to the alliances military presence in the region. or. the arctic's natural resources have nothing to do with nato it's a zone for economic cooperation and military presence will create additional issues here the signing comes in it's rising tension between the five arctic states which also include canada denmark and the united states over who owns water in this lucrative region moscow knows they have showed how to return to feuds can be

resolved very important from the point of view of. the russian strategy which i would call to ease tensions around the russian borders the treaties yet to be ratified by russian and the wage and parliaments something the two leaders predict . to be done by some experts estimate the rules of the valley and see todd as much as a quarter of the planet seabed all in gas resources between years due to political ups and sea based treasure has remained dead and buried now with russia in no way finally sinking their long running feud the two maritime powers a far they're ready to make some headway what's been causing troubles for decades will soon bring in profits regional tional t. in the bering sea to afghanistan now or at least fourteen people were killed in separate bombings on the day of the country's parliamentary elections the vote counting is under way amid fraud allegations and reports of some irregularities

artie's correspondent paula sleep has more from kabul. overnight the afghan capital was quiet and there have been no incidents of violence reported although as you say at the close of election day saturday at least fourteen people were confirmed did the taliban carried out more than thirty bombing attacks in a statement it e-mailed it said it had targeted and hit some one hundred and fifty polling stations around the country we're hearing from afghan officials that little more than a third of the voting population turned out to bridges to their vote and we were also hearing from the free and fair election foundation of afghanistan that they recorded some two hundred and twenty four incidents of serious intimidation they seem to have been problems particularly in the eastern provinces of afghanistan where there were virtually no female electoral staff and as a result women particularly in conservative communities were unable to come forward and cost of their ballot in addition to the more than one thousand floating

stations that were unable to open because of intimidation and threats from the taliban the foundation has also recorded a further one thousand five hundred and eighty four voting stations that opened their doors late because of problems in the whole mechanisms of organizing the sea election we're also hearing and we've reported extensively on this on the anti forward problems that we face primarily by the so-called indelible ink that could be washed off in many cases in just a matter of minutes and also cases of fake voter id cards in one example there was a car that was found with one thousand six hundred fake voter cards so these have been some of the problems that are coming forward and will continue to come forward in the coming days preliminary results are expected on the eighth of october although it will take several weeks for the final results to be tabled now the afghan government particularly president hamid karzai and his international backers have been at pains to point out the success of the selection but it depends

according to what yardstick you measure success. yes and the yardstick they've been using is as many people here say extremely low they say that you regularity is inevitable they say that the violence of this year was less than of was last year during the presidential elections and they say that this election of the two hundred and forty nine parliamentary members will not be as corrupt or as difficult as it was last year having said that though there are many observers many analysts and a lot of afghans themselves who say that these elections cannot be called democratic in the west and since a democracy the fact that so few people turned out to vote does not give legitimacy to the parliament which is due to take its seats next year. the center of moscow this week became a mafia battleground the man thought to be the godfather of most of the c.i.s. criminal groups was shot and seriously wounded but managed to survive. has more from the crime scene. with a click of

a trigger this cohen says street in the very heart of moscow became the scene of a gangster movie at around eight pm on thursday evening alleged crime was. known by the nickname grand son was entering an apartment building with his bodyguard when suddenly the two men were entering a vis a door when the shooting began around the bodyguard went down first while witnesses say haasan actually tried dodging the bullet ended up getting one in his stomach both men were rushed to hospital and the authorities soon after announced grown son had died from the back at the scene of the attack investigators found a kalashnikov rifle a sensor and empty shells. when was firing the shots from that window on the third floor it's right opposite the entrance at such a short distance made it nearly impossible to miss as it turned out the leader of the alleged crime leader and his bodyguard both needed to the hospital underwent surgery and are now recovering authorities said they give false reports on purpose

to prevent a second assassination attempt grandpa her son is believed to be in charge of most organized criminal groups in russia and the c.i.s. and controls highly profitable lens in moscow and in southern russia very attractive for his rivals he used to be the right hand man of viewpoint and a tory a smart your boss assassinated last year was also shot in the stomach. so far it's hard to say who ordered the latest attack but it's definitely the result of the war currently going on between major gangs to clans in russia. since the point exists there have been various reports of gangster shootings and assassinations both in russia and in western europe including switzerland spain and greece police found dead bodies of men suspected of being members of this or that gang operating in russia or the c.i.s. but there's still no evidence grandpa his son is in any way connected. up or

everyone knew al capone was they got far though the mafia nevertheless he was jailed for tax evasion the crime which can't even be compared to the horrible things he was involved in proving grandpa his stance criminal activities is just as difficult. as gangster movies with shootouts in excess emissions have become cinema classics but as investigators now try to find the hitman and the organizers of thursday's attack the hollywood story lines of those stands are still just as relevant. you got this going off r.t. moscow. the iraqi government has agreed to pay out four hundred million dollars to americans traumatized during the invasion twenty years ago. the decision has caused outrage among most of the iraqi population during the gulf war in one nine hundred ninety saddam hussein's regime had been torturing and using u.s. citizens as human shields but millions of iraqis who also suffered under saddam and later from the military american military campaign are angry that they've so far

received nothing after the kuwait war iraq was put under u.n. sanctions which provided the legal basis for the presence of u.s. troops there anti-war activists brian becker says it's the americans who should be making reparation payments to iraq not the other way around. they're making the iraq pay because they can i mean this is a kind of colonialism an ongoing pfaff that's been going on against iraq it started in the one nine hundred ninety s. by the way during the so-called oil for food program that was designed as a pelion of measure to bring relief to iraqis who are dying in the thousands each month because the u.s. wouldn't allow them to have food or medicine that allowed iraqi oil revenues to be put into what you want to counted minister really by the united states between one thousand nine hundred seven and two thousand forty billion dollars of iraqi oil was sold but only twenty five percent twenty five percent of forty billion dollars actually went to the iraqi people the rest went to the kuwaiti monarchy to exxon mobil and other so-called victims of saddam's invasion in august one thousand nine

hundred eighty i believe that the american government created these oceans of human misery and they have an obligation an accountability they in fact zero reparations to all of the iraqi people for this war of aggression the treaty between russia and the u.s. which would see both countries cut their nuclear arsenals is going to the u.s. senate for approval but there are fears that republican politicians are opposing the treaty start just to do damage to the democratic administration. 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 clarified 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 balance and if that balance is shifted or disturbed they say they can pull out. but both russian and american leaders are very eager to have this treaty in place they say it's an example for others to follow and the door into future cooperation is security something that the hands of to france of both countries reaffirmed this wednesday when they madding washington d.c. 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 they 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 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 ten express their concerns but they can't really change the trading they can either ratify it or not and judging by what senators were saying this thursday they surely will the question is when i'm going to check on our reporting from washington d.c. former u.s. senator gary hart says almost all opposition to the treaty comes from republican

side will clearly the republicans. have. concern some of them genuine i think others less genuine. there is still i think for many of us not the kind of. understanding. by americans of russia and russia its government and where it's headed that we would like. but and i think from the russian side there is still confusion as to why. we have not developed stronger in the last fifteen or twenty years i'm not clear clear on that myself i think we should have but. as time goes on hopefully the questions that are being raised again primarily on the republican side will be satisfied at the end of the day there will be a boat 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 had the treaty and it's a very hard burden to carry. you can catch the full interview with former senator gary hart in the next hour here at our. finally in his news block nuclear nonproliferation treaties will be among the problems discussed by the global leaders in new york at the sixty fifth meeting of the un general assembly artie's new york resident laurie harford is talks to people on the streets of the big big apple and ask what they think the outcome of the gathering will be. the u.n. general assembly is opening it sixty fifth session here in new york city on the agenda that meant to be attended by the world's most prominent leaders is it the world's most important meeting or just another annoyance for new york city this

week let's talk about that too with the same thing year after year i was excited back in the seventy's when when carter was making his big you know push for everything and and then went back the same sort of thing and now everyone who comes in thinks that they can fix it although from my experience the computer say communicate with. face to face. situation. if you give a. i probably won't accomplish anything at all and it probably is just another chance to tell everybody hey we're here look we're doing and do nothing. and in the meantime they take up our parking spaces for everybody congestion kind of stuff. by looking forward to it to tell you what do you think is important for them to talk about this year for me third country hunger i think as well as. boring climate change questions. why those boring is not boring and

just that is. we never get anywhere and you're problem you're one of the problems. you think all the countries have equal say like they're supposed to know i don't i don't really think of mars that i think the united states of america why but that bad well they've got they've got all the power in the world have got the money they've got the influence money talks are a money talks and i don't anything i mean is i mean for the common people you know it but it will come on the streets or whatever i mean what are they going to do for us you know it's just a more or less you know they get face time and i can. whatever but. if we all stop believing in that water what's really the other option i guess i mean if martin luther king said you know it is the i have a dream or a savanah a nightmare yet a dream so i think that what we all hope for is that we don't have that fatalistic .
