home. from. the e. book. going to the word of. mouth. this history still keeps its secrets but now it's time to reveal the hidden in the

soviet father's house on the embankment and odyssey. if blinds. were to be soon which brightened if you didn't sound from finest impression. least from stunts on t.v. don't come. fifty. and fifty fifty. sweden's parliamentary election strained the country's democratic traditions with candidates from a far right party claiming they've been attacked and denied in the. other

stories that have shaped the week on are to me russ awaits a decision on the extradition of one of its most wanted terror suspects from poland where he was detained on friday but later released. also russia and norway reached a milestone agreement on their borders in the energy rich baron see what he and then to a forty year dispute over the borders. and a spike in poverty in the west's new figures reveal one in seven americans were living below the breadline last year that's the highest number in over fifty years also record you can. live from moscow this is our to you with me and you so now we're taking

a look back at the week's top stories this sunday and first sweden's holding general elections with the ruling coalition expected to win most seats in the parliament but a controversial far right party is so far winning most of the headlines this weekend democrats party demands sharp immigration caught saying it will ease the pressure on the country's welfare system and with a real chance of them winning seats some of the candidates have been attacked and others deny their right to free speech as more emmett reports from the city of mobile. it's one of europe's oldest democracies but the lead up to this election in sweden has been anything but democratic candidates from the right wing sweetened democrats of being harassed. and that should lead by young people from far less. groups thank you. there have been several cases which passed with a notice when i was starting to become a big party nice was getting more attention it's horrible that it should happen

during an election campaign it's a threat to swedish democracy. the sweden democrats are controversial they believe the government's immigration policy in recent years has been a failure of allowing large numbers of migrants to live in enclaves where they don't learn swedish creating tension between diverse ethnic groups and draining the wealth of the s.d. would severely limit immigration and encourage migrants who won't assimilate to go home that's led to them being branded nazis by left wing groups this is one me saying 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. angry because one of the things. in this party. they didn't. used to be you can say what you want. nina reckon she caught. a fellow s.t. candidate in a scene reminiscent of a film was tortured by youth in his house held down while the 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 of sgrena doesn't agree with the message this week democrats are pushing out but thinks it's important they should be allowed to speak we do have the movement here. pretty but it's very marginal. people. to say whatever they like in public of course we can tolerate that here in this country that culture which is. sweden and other political parties have said they won't work with the sweden democrats even if they do get elected to parliament so it's not just threats to their safety that the s.t. candidates have to worry about they're already work to do in the park. to keep us out anyway. it's people. to sit there

and. so. this weekend's election is likely to result in the sweet democrats winning. is likely to be a divisive moment 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 them and see immigration policy play a role in governing some have already shown they don't know or at its own. sweet. well there's much more ahead for you this hour here on our t.v. take a look what's to come. home to is underway in the afghan capital in the reports of violence and fraud we'll bring you an update in just a few moments. plus

a gangster war in the heart of moscow we bring you the story of an attempt to moan wife in brussels notorious mafia kingpin and look at possible motives for why. but first a polish court is set to decide whether to extradite one of russia's most wanted terror suspects of meds a cry of was detained in warsaw on friday on an international arrest warrant but later released artie's alexei yourselves keep reports from the polish. 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 and called 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 it. and we heard a car i was heading to poland to turn himself in to the prosecutor's office why he could go to a prosecutor's office in britain or any other country if you wanted to but he did it in poland so my theory is that it might be aimed at soaring the improving relations between moscow and warsaw. poland has to consider whether is to be extradited to russia and no matter how hard warsaw try to de politicize this issue . 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 would satisfy. experts knew from the very start the decision would not be free of mind games as you understand. they also have their own limitations they have all the mess to contend and they can go. 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 the lagoon 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 north caucasus from brutal killings to good. moskos says it has proved it was one of the masterminds of the more school theater siege in two thousand 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 that evidence so will also review the basis of the decisions taken in the u.k. which granted him asylum and that asylum proved pivotal. 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 walked out the doors of 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 court says it may take several more days to deliver

a decision on the fate of one of russia's most wanted criminals let's see reporting from warsaw in poland. to afghanistan now where least fourteen people were killed in a string of attacks on saturday when the country voted in parliamentary elections ballot counting is underway amid allegations and reports of. parties correspondent. overnight the afghan capital was quiet and there have been no new 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 an e-mail that said it had targeted and hit some one hundred and fifty polling stations around the country we hearing from afghan officials that a little more than a food 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 crossed their ballot in addition to the more than one thousand voting 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 to see 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 this election 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 irregularity is our inevitable they say that the violence of the su was less than of was last year during the presidential elections and that 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 waste and sense of democracy the fact that so few people cheered out to vote

does not give legitimacy to the parliament which is due to take its seats next year . the democratic process is failing in afghanistan best the view of dr of the law of do law and afghan opposition leader who was hamid karzai as main challenger in the two thousand and nine presidential election while he says his country must learn from past mistakes to avoid. as i had predicted before the presidential elections last year but if the same situation continue the situation can only to tell you date this is exactly what we are witness to in terms of governance issues of corruption rule of law and justice and security and as a whole so this is the these sort of sliding down all the the downward trend can lead to an absolute failure i list a list we look into the mistakes of the past we draw lessons from the mistakes of

the past and we give the people up on this on their sense of direction so this is stage the afghan leadership mistake by mr i can say it in itself is a misled leadership and then lost as of diet action defenders of the national government cannot be substituted with more troops from outside sources from outside more energy in most support from outside this is a situation that afghans are to start with and the international community is also stuck with it. well this week russia and norway signed an arctic border agreement resolving a decades long territorial dispute the treaty created a maritime boundary in the energy which barren sea and divided a disputed area roughly half the size of germany the deal is expected to boost offshore exploration in a region rich with reserves of oil and gas. russian and the regional 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 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 peat but with unclear buddha no one could even start the series exploration circle in this issue moscow knows les have done with been impossible for decades and that some say because they need to boost their coffers and reserves but actually both in russia and in norway is going to. need new fields and new big elephants to develop in this disputed area later. place

here yet this very promising demonstrating goodwill incorporating with a nato member russia is still likely opposed to the alliances military presence in the region the form of. 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 in the sun in cannes and 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 are on the russian borders the treaties yet to be ratified by russian and the region parliaments something the to predict. some experts estimate the rules of the bering sea were taught as much as

a quarter of the planet's seabed all in gas resources for twenty years due to political ups and sea bass treasure has remained dead and buried now with russia in no way finally sinking their long running feud the two maritime powers are finally ready to make some headway what's been causing troubles for decades will soon bring in profits. in the barren sea. coming your way next our on our team one step closer to the free world as the arms reduction treaty between russia and the u.s. heads for a vote for the senate we'll look at how americans in the house issues could have our bad day said. this week also saw another round of middle east peace talks with the israeli and palestinian leaders meeting for two days in sharm el sheikh and jerusalem the meeting was overshadowed by israeli warplanes attacking gaza twice in response to palestinian rocket and mortar fire talks continue to be

sold israeli settlements in the west bank palestinian president mahmoud abbas had threatened to pull out of the go see a sions if israel extended the settlement building however he added there is no alternative to peace but omar barghouti from the palestinian campaign for the academic and cultural boycott of israel says the middle east talks are doomed to failure because the rights of palestinians are negating. the entire settlement colonial settlement enterprise is illegal according to international law all of the settlements have to be removed according to international law this points to the main problem with these so-called negotiations and i call them negations not negotiations because they know ghaith palestinian rights they negate human rights in general and they negate their reference to international law and therefore these talks have no chance of success there's really side is a belligerent occupier and an apartheid system that's denying the majority of the palestinians the refugees the right to return to their homes the palestinian side

is too weak and lacks democratic mandate not to mention vision other things so there is no chance for these talks to succeed. well throughout the day for you here in our team we're reporting on soldiers who listen to their consciences rather than their commanding officers here's a look. sergeant of the israeli defense forces. during his service scorched the street fight. if i am certain the colonel of the chilean armed forces participated in keeping down a military revolt. the sergeant of the u.s. army. tried to become an american by getting part in the. ranks and reasons differ but one thing brings them together once they disobey. the white

house is pressing ahead with plans to double u.s. exports in the next five years the proposals could generate two million jobs and it's hoped help the country recover from a recess sent well it comes as new figures reveal that the number of americans facing poverty is that a fifty year high. 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 not going 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 enough you know it's just not enough to get all the food we need and the numbers are all new 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 ten 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 are turning these are few and far between especially in the old urban industrial cities are patterson as in so many cities in the united states manufacturing used to power this one these were still factories that now are decrepit boarded up sitting in disrepair there are signs everywhere here of the

u.s. manufacturing jobs that have disappeared or gone overseas factory work all of the low level jobs that these folks with most of the old what about you know you know and leaving them lining up in droves for a little heat we now see repair about twelve hundred meals a day now it will be severing about four hundred. people. have free hotline some of the workers here some are at the homeless not surprisingly always on call been made there are twenty percent more mouths to feed here eva's kitchen than a year ago why. now and some can't work like for one who has an incurable disease who is not 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 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 not the where it's in the room rather. 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 proud lauren lyster artie patterson new jersey. some very real pictures there of the economic situation in the us while poverty will be one of the top issues discussed at the un general assembly session in new york next hour to ask people in the city what results they expect from the council. we want to accomplish it appropriate just for a chance to tell everybody hey we're here look we're doing

a do nothing and in the meantime they take up my parking spaces are going over curry body and they're congested and if we all stopped 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 that and that i'd nightmare yet a dream so i think that what we all hope for is that we don't have that fatalistic view that we hope there's always a possibility to change. the center of moscow witnessed a mafia clash this week the man thought to be the godfather of most of russell's criminal groups was shot and seriously wounded our two years ago is going to have reports from. 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 boss a slant sajjan known by the nickname ground by her son was entering an apartment

building with his bodyguard when suddenly the two men were entering a vest a door when the shooting began the bodyguard went down first while witnesses say. actually tried dodging the bullet ended up getting one in his stomach both men were rushed to hospital and the authorities soon after announced grandpaw son had died from the wounds back at the scene of the attack investigators found a kalashnikov rifle a silencer and empty shells but 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 gave 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 tourist mafia boss assassinated last year was also shot in the stomach. and so far it's hard to say who ordered the latest attack but it's definitely the result of a war currently going on between major gangsta clans in russia. since you point exists there have been various reports of gangster shootings and assassinations both in russia and in western europe including switzerland spain and greece the 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 father of the mafia nevertheless he was jailed for tax evasion a crime which can't even be compared to the horrible things he was involved in proven grandpas stance criminality.
