meticulous bargaining proved just as tiring as climbing the great wall of china. signals that these are serious important talks as there are a large number of issues to discuss here. oh you know why don't want both the natural partners in each other for years russia and china have been haggling over the process of russian hydrocarbons but almost fifteen years to build this oil pipeline the first between its neighbors because of the money. talks on the price of gas are still ongoing. but the china doesn't want to have a pay it claims that it can offer a rapidly growing market in the future gazprom in turn is waiting for the price of natural gas and its share on the chinese market to increase at the moment gas accounts for just ten percent of the overall consumption of energy resources in china but it's too little to be interesting to gazprom. tough bargaining is a useful skill in these beijing neighborhood nickname to rush

a town that attracts thousands of vendors on a hunt for knockoffs this is the third year with the winter when there was there's a here it used to be an open market with rows of the counters only recently they've built everything that our expense if i may say so. but it's shamelessly low prices and high turnover areas like this one managed to transform themselves from shanty towns in tbilisi shopping quarters russian chinese trade has undergone a similar make over in two thousand and nine china surpassed germany as russia's largest trading partner and. we've overcome last year's negative tendencies the global financial crisis was the reason for the collapse and our trade turnover volumes shrank but this year we have managed to make up for it and will most likely get back to the pre-crisis level in trade and economic cooperation it's a big achievement for former communist allies while meeting second world war veterans in delhi and the russian president was once again reminded the two

countries share. for us you're a symbol of a country that gave us marxism leninism and communism. but two days later in shanghai it became clear that it was now china's turn to spread the word that was them but its economy and infrastructure revamp in just three decades china seemed like a perfect case study for the more than his asian oriented russian president at the when you guys mission this exhibition is a unique chance to speed up the modernization of our economies and institutes innovative development is certainly the choice of our country we are following this path and we will do everything for our economy to modernize change and adapt to modern life. and while a three day visit may not be enough to learn the secrets of china's economic miracle the russian delegation was doing to take home a few perils of wisdom or dick worth of with with it were. russian officials a liking to fighting confucius and china scolar how among at the by few followers

again developing friendship to somebody who can a teacher any good well china is definitely not the case these countries have made such a dramatic leap forward that you want to comment of big brother russia is more than willing to learn. some of our basic china. the un panel says opium production in afghanistan dropped by half those charities led to an almost three fold surge in prices so there's report says that could encourage farmers to cultivate more of the heroin producing crop the survey also suggests the hike was prompted by a planted fracture of the devastated yield it adds that despite nato operations the size of the area used to grow poppies remains to say south and west of the major growing regions which are also taliban strongholds along extremist rake in the cash but as paula sleeper explains for many farmers it's still their only source of income which is tightly controlled by militants and drug addicted police. do right

here is to put people behind bars for doing drugs now he's been put there himself as the former army commander denies the charges he insists he never swayed on the white side of the law. we saw a truck driving on the main road something made me suspicious and i checked out the cargo we found heroin and some drugs but what for him claims he didn't expect to find a driver who told authorities he was involved in drug smuggling. by himself is guarded by another policeman. he's been taking drugs since he was twelve and went for treatment only recently after the prison warden found out he's in good company according to a recent us congress report nearly half the us companies are doing drugs well i. grant you that as a policeman i was doing all. i can't quite i bought for about two years all the

other policeman he knew about it quite a few police crime drug addicts not telling anyone they're just saying i'm smoking something. pullet afghanistan's biggest jail many of the five thousand prisoners here are doing time for drug smuggling and or drug use but the locks are not a sure safe way of keeping the drugs out. there. these are the different kinds of drugs we collected over the past years. this is a mix of opium your context. i don't know if this is opium but this is the kind of tricks drugs inside a calm family members coming to visit bring these with them we found drugs in shoes over the years prison guards have been charged with lending a hand. yes it's true when i joined a few years ago lots of dollars were involved in smuggling drugs into the jail they

are not very good educated they don't have enough salaries and there are a lot. joining to produce truth out of the people who join the producers threw out of concern but the ministry has come to makati insists it's no got a hold on the problem but questions remain what if some of those fines in afghanistan's drug war on actually foot soldiers from the other side and with the many challenges the country faces doesn't really have the resources to tackle the corruption within its ranks inside the school boards as a snapshot of the problems facing afghan society telep members drug test because and petty criminals and the prisons are overcrowded point to syria our team pretty cheeky frozen kabul. one former white house drug policy spokesman says it will take a combination of wiping out poppy fields and giving farmers

a new living to secure victory against the drugs trade the only way that you can cut off money from the taliban and money from al-qaeda because this is drugs are seventy percent of their funding is to eradicate the drugs out of the source of their money and they will go to that proportion disappear and so will the violence against all the countries on earth that terrorists are. disappear and be drastically reduced by that so it's a wonderful development that we now have a strong drug czar from russia but the eradication must be combined with what hillary clinton is proposing which is crop substitution you can't just throw the farmers out and say you're not allowed to live you have to give them a way to live those two policies combined eradication and crop substitution can be a solution. a bomb hoax has forced a passenger plane to make an emergency landing in russia's south what it was on route from moscow to the chechen republic's capital hill arms race shortly after takeoff when an anonymous call was made to moscow's airport saying it was

a bomb on board the russian made you're clear forty two jet diverted to the city of volgograd and all seventy three on board were evacuated into the airport including six children emergency services and more informed experts found no explosives on the aircraft after a thorough investigation russian boys adoptive parents abandoned him in the caribbean returned to his home country on friday twelve year old denise is now getting help for him to try to adapt back to a normal life here in moscow correspondent tom barton was there for his return. home at last after allegedly being sold for drugs on the other side of the world physical abuse and five years in an orphanage twelve year old denise is finally back in his native russia the full extent of his suffering isn't just to give yourself that you might have been taken to the dominican republic as a slave in exchange for drugs or it may have been an organ trade the judicial decision couldn't clarify all the circumstances and we should make speculations just because the boy can't explain what happened born in the volgograd region in

one nine hundred ninety eight his adoptive parents moved to the dominican republic in two thousand and four a year later they returned to russia turning their backs on dennis and leaving him with the local family day to soothe gave him this time to movement but not before a cruise to be hit and punished him the thing is that he behaved badly it was terrible but only because his parents and sisters left him and he stayed all alone in their house they even left him without meals as a punishment so one day and neighbor saw it and decided to report at last year's adoptive russian parents when prison for cocaine trafficking that led a court to cancel the adoption decision since his return more possible evidence of abuse has been found a note on the presidential twitter page said the scars on the boy's head indicate he was beaten now an investigation is looking into why denise was allowed to be adopted by such young parents in the first place and what really happened in the dominican republic emotion not every adult can survive what he went through the

russian adoption agency committed a crime letting drug dealers adopt the boy that's the subject of our future investigation but hopefully all the bad things are in the past now dennis will now be able to resume his life in russia after his five year absence will have to really learn his native language and rediscover life here but it's hoped that he'll receive a lot more care in his next five years than he did in his last five tomasson moscow . germany's marking twenty years since it was officially reunify. politicians and celebrities have been celebrating in bremen and parties being held all over the country marking combination of a process part of the full of the berlin wall in one thousand nine re together in east west germany but that led to a turbulent decade with the huge cost of rebuilding infrastructure east session today it is a large gap in living standards between the two halves of the country after surviving that recession europe's largest economy is now covering the costs of much

of the banking crisis plus often is a political science religion professor says many east germans feel they lost out. and. german politicians are very proud and so advertise the great success of german unification there it is not seen that. because every great historical change. involves printers and loses and many people in the new. and the new. federal lender are in fact loses. employment is about twice as high productivity is still. the high and many people have left the new lender the eastern part of germany in order to migrate for the. best more important measure of dignity is that in most institutions the military. universities the

media. business as is the asian and so on they are all dominated by. staff so many people in the east even though they have improved they cannot make situation feel that they are not happy with the respected and included. it's been a week of mass demonstrations in europe as tens of thousands protested against their respective governments severe cutbacks the biggest marches took place in belgium spain and greece in brussels protesters gathered around the e.u. headquarters and forced the closure of the city to international airport while. the flights were grounded because of action by transport workers the protests come amid rising unemployment and president of levels of government debt income abandonment is a european m.p. he claims the euro currency is to blame for most of the continent current economic woes. i think the euro is teetering on the edge this is

a manifestation of it this is a massive problem and you can throw hundreds of billions that it is they're trying to do but it's beyond that i mean the real underlying problem is you're trying to force together all these different types of column is that some a doing very well others are very weak and you cannot force them together under one common currency call the euro the euro's the problem it's just unsustainable this as a say you know they're throwing hundreds of billions of euros at it and the germans are paying through the nose and you know the majority of germans now want to leave the euro and that's conceivable that we recreate all the national currencies or certain strong currency is leave or that we currently one or the other person other story in the e.u. countries suffering the worst with the recession latvians have voted to give their center right government another chance to save their embattled economy the prime minister's coalition partners seem to have got the majority they needed in

saturday's election in support of his harsh austerity plans there's also been a boost for a party in the present in the large russian speaking minority to which wants to mend string times with moscow the harmony center has secured about a quarter of the vote with the ruling party suggesting that could lead to a rolling government. and so is america's biggest country and one of the world's largest developing economies is choosing a new president but brazil's hugely popular leader known as lula can't take part this time because he served a maximum term allowed that's not stopping him though lining up a successor who could become the country's first female president lauren lister is in sao paolo for us. it is a really big day as you mentioned that later lou legist silva has enjoyed eighty percent approval rating in this country over the last two terms it's because he's credited by his supporters with creating pretty much a silent revolution where the poor have had a voice and hope for the first time through a number of social programs while the same time lula catapulted brazil much further

ahead in international diplomacy and trade brokering relations with latin american countries also with russia india china and the bric nations of course so today really determines which direction the country is going to continue to head lula has anointed a successor dilma rousseff who is not very well known to the brazilian people for her track record she's lula chief of staff and she's running on the fact that she's choice and that really matters in this country because though they don't know anything about her all of the supporters of low lula who you speak to in the street and they have been out in the streets in full force over the last week they also border and believe that she can carry on exactly what lula started according to the polls it looks like that's where it's tracking as well she's in a slightly with about fifty one percent to forty nine percent for the two opposition opponents so today will really determine whether she continues what lula has started or the country goes another direction or if it goes to

a runoff but in any case she is running exactly on the platform that lula started and continues social programs such as the familia which has helped people that were never able to access education children because they had to work be able to go to school because there's money given to their parents but they're held accountable programs like that in addition he's continued to grow the economy creating jobs seven point five percent economic growth is what they expected so dilma is who is believed by by lula as well as supporters to continue brazil on this exact path now the opposition candidate in. more of the bit more conservative of the elite in this country support and the upper class so really what you see in this election is an election quite divided by rich and poor by lines in this country have to wait and see what how that turns out. it will bring you late to start his loyalists following brazil's presidential election from sao paolo here on o.t.

research this week shows that americans mistrust the longstanding news media mistrust is of an all time high all my talk show host laurie hoffman has now asked people why them got so many misgivings about the mainstream. according to a new gallup poll fifty seven percent of americans do not trust the news media to accurately and fairly report the news this week let's talk about that do you trust the news media not really find out well i just don't feel like we're getting all the facts and there are some facts that should be out there that the media news media is playing into the public here's a problem news media isn't just news anymore no news is news slash entertainment so anytime you get like a c.n.n. or a fox who has their own bet on things i think people just try to find what most fits

in what they're already thinking anyways and then they watch that so if you're not from that side if you're not from the whatever side it is and you're not going to trust that other side it seems like they try and sensationalize everything and just a little you know rain and it seemed like here in new york it was like there's going to be massive floods and hurricanes and tornadoes and or like where is that supposed the source is what will we focus on no on one issue or one side and continue to barrage the their opponents they will take sides in these are complex issues and it seems like they'll do that at any cost no matter how ridiculous it sounds true enough so why do they do that. prophets people people like stories that have question to them we all. three you know and the america. i see it's may be the difference between france and. america. thirty you think if we stick around for

a couple more hundred years we'll learn some things and maybe our news media will be more trustworthy maybe i don't know i don't know the bottom line is that if you are one of the many who don't trust the news media it might be time to consider a new stores outside the mainstream. more for the resident next week. world news headlines briefly for you the united states has issued a travel alert for it says in europe because of intelligence suggesting that an increased risk of terror attacks in main cities could be likely britons echoing the warnings go to specify the threat level in france and germany because it is being told to be vigilant but they are being advised against traveling to become fronts refers to the threat is real but is needs increasing security measures germany says there are no concrete indications to attack. egypt and jordan are supporting the palestinians refusal to negotiate with israel if it continues to build
