the country's parliament as the ruling coalition fails to hang on to its majority. and other stories that have shaped up the week poland is to decide on whether to extradite one of russia's most wanted terror suspects after he was detained in warsaw on friday but later really. also russia and norway reach a milestone agreement on their borders and the energy rich parents seen putting an end to a forty year territorial dispute. taking a look at this week's top stories and your media pressing news this is r t with the weekly. in sweden general election preliminary results suggest a controversial far right party will enter parliament for the first time and with twenty seats they could now hold sway over the ruling center right coalition that

has retained power in the election but lost its majority the sweden democrats demand steep immigration cuts saying it will ease pressure on the country's welfare system as lore and it reports from southern sweden despite more voters turning out to the party some candidates are saying they've been attacked and others are denied their right to freedom of speech. it's one of europe's oldest democracies but the lead up to this year's election in sweden has been anything but democratic candidates from the right wing sweetened democrats of being harassed and bullied allegedly by young people from far left groups. there have been several cases which passed with a notice but now it's starting to become known we're a big party names was 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 s.d. would severely limit immigration and encourage migrants who won't assimilate to go home that 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 lead. 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 gives more fuel to my

fire and makes me angry because it's one of the things that may really. be in this party. the democracy. used to be you can say what you want to. reckon she's. a fellow s.t. candidate in a scene reminiscent of the film was tortured by you in 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 abroad this weekend democrats have attracted significant support among the swedish born population henning's a political candidate in the nearby town of law doesn't agree with the message this week democrats are pushing out but thinks it's important they should be allowed to speak. pretty but it's

very marginal. people. of course we can tolerate that 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.t. candidates have to worry about they're already discussing what to do. how to keep us out anyway and what about democracy it's people. there. so. this weekend's election is likely to result in the sweet democrats winning their first ever seats in parliament is likely to be a divisive moment politics and. the other party will have to decide

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 she. policy play a role. have already. and much more still ahead for you this hour here. under way. from the outside world one hundred days. to prepare for future deep space expeditions. to decide whether to extradite one of russia's most wanted terror suspects. was

detained in warsaw on friday on an international arrest warrant but later released . reports from the polls. 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 poland 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. and we heard a car i was heading to poland to turn himself in to 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 soaring 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 d. politicize this issue. the prosecutor general tells me that they have no choice but to start the extradition procedures but these procedures do not mean an instant extradition in the russian side should it necessarily hope for a decision that will satisfy all. experts knew from the very start the decision would not be free of mind games as you understand.

they also have their own limitations but mastic agenda 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 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 north caucasus from brutal killings to kidnappings moscow says it has proved it was one of the masterminds of the more 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 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. reporting from warsaw in poland. election observers in afghanistan are questioning the legitimacy of saturday's parliamentary vote counting is underway in a ballot by violence and reports of irregularities and

a low turnout our correspondent paula slayer reports from kabul. the afghan capital was quiet and they have been no new incidents of violence reported although at the close of election day saturday at least fourteen people were confirmed dead 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're hearing from afghan officials that a little more than a third of the voting population turned out to bridges to the vote and we're 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 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 the selection 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 in the yardstick they. in using is as many people here say extremely low they say is that you regularity is inevitable they say that the violence in this year was less than it was last year during the presidential elections and if 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 a democratic in the waist and sense of democracy the fact that so few people tuned out to vote does not give legitimacy to the parliament which is due to take its seats in the next year. dr. hamid karzai the main challenger in the two thousand and nine presidential election says afghanistan must learn from past mistakes to avoid collapse. as i had predicted before the presidential elections last year but

that if if the same situation frontin you the situation can only to tell you that 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. 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 of afghanistan back their sense of direction so this is stage the afghan leadership their administrations led by mr karzai it in itself is they misled the leadership and then lost sense of direction to the failures of the national government cannot be substituted with more troops from outside sources from outside more energy and more support from outside this is the situation that afghans are to start with and the international community is also

stuck with. more than forty servicemen have reportedly been killed in a gunfight in tajikistan it is reported they were ambushed in the mountains in the northern part of the central asian republic the soldiers had been searching for prisoners who had escaped from a high security prison last month more than twenty people sentenced to for their part in an attempted coup killed at the jails security guards and escaped into the mountains they were part of the islamist opposition movement that fought against the central government in the civil war in the one nine hundred ninety s. 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 rich barents 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 natural gas. russian in the region leaders

a glowing from satisfaction. president dmitry medvedev and prime minister young still who didn't have achieved is a huge relief when they need shoes. 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 prophet has also been at the center of this pete but with a clear border no one could even start the serious 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 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 we'll incorporate in with a nato member russia still openly opposed to the alliances military presence in the region for the moment which is the arctic 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 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 two leaders predict will be done by new year some experts estimate the waters of the barrier would hide

as much as a quarter of the planet's seabed all and get resources but for years due to political opposition say this treasure has remained there then buried now with russia in no way finally thinking their law writing feared the true maritime powers are why they're ready to make some headway what's been called in trouble for decades wealth own study group in profits. river notional tea in the bering sea coming your way next hour gangster wars in the heart of moscow. we bring you the story of an attempt on the life of the russia's notorious a mafia kingpin and a look at possible motives for the violence. the treaty between russia and the u.s. that could see both countries cut their nuclear arsenals is going to the american senate for approval however there are fears that republican politicians are opposing the treaty known as start just to deny the obama administration

a political victory 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 proud they 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 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 that balance is shifted or disturbed they say they can't 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 in security something that the hands of defense of both countries reaffirmed this wednesday when they manning washington d.c. but some in washington say they're her goals 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 out our reporting from washington d.c. . and former u.s. senator gary hart says some republican opposition to the treaty may just be because of a lack of understanding you can watch the whole interview with him next hour right here on our t.v. . well clearly the republicans. have. concerns some of them genuine i think others last year on year one. there is still i think for many of us not the kind of. understanding. by americans of russia

russian's 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 ties in the last fifteen or twenty years i'm not clear clear on that myself i think we should of 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 vote 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 have the treaty and it's a very hard burden to carry. six men are taking part in an experiment simulating a trip to mars have set a record they've spent over one hundred days confined in

a sealed spacecraft like capsule the longest time so far for projects of this kind and they've over four hundred days still to go in this ultimate test of human endurance as tom barton reports. ordinary life but did an extraordinary setting this is the crew of the mas five hundred experiment going about their daily business they've been locked in their mock up space module for a hundred days now psychologists are watching for signs of stress or tension i would be that willing to make speedy experiments in psychology are quite exciting the way they communicate with the control center and to particular the text they write for radio communications and emails are important sources to psychologists who see them in to state and the way they're interacting. the six men entered their voluntary isolation back in june simulating the estimated five hundred twenty day

voyage to mars mock mars landing and the trip back. the modules here in the institute of biomedical research in moscow are designed to mimic the conditions of such a journey minus the zero gravity and the physical distance as well as that the idea that they're traveling to mars and back is strongly cultivated but with the real world and not deep space just outside the door. how realistic appropriation is this for a future mars mission. because the experimental of course this is not perpetration for a mission to mars that is out of the question there is no group and program as such however some aspects such as conference space and limited communication are practiced here the results of such study may later proven porton darley for space missions but for areas like polar exploration where people have to spend a lot of time in little groups in isolated spaces as well as going without outside contact the crew is also being denied female company others to likes of mariners or

polar explorers have to spend long periods with only males psychologists here taking the opportunity to see what effects it may have. with you is your logy has its share in this of course perhaps the absence of women contributes to more irritability or even aggression it is totally up to us like colleges to smooth over any problems. much research work is being done on board which keeps the crew focused and motivated progress maps are updated daily and there's an artificial time delay of up to twenty minutes for all outside communications to account for the distance from earth for another four hundred eighteen days the staff here will monitor the crew through these cameras twenty four hours a day every day if problems do occur best left to be most likely after. about nine months but in this unique moment star meant it so far so good from boston oxy
