a presidential election goes to a runoff in one of the world's fastest growing emerging countries the latest from brazil. president. really go beyond. the downright indecent president. recent russian rhetoric from ben to reduce the stresses it must not affect relations between the two neighbors. britain is becoming increasingly dissatisfied overbearing goods that's according to the freedoms of entail a fringe of the conservative party conference. a russian athlete wins by team world cup finals in the us you can tell that has made the save it can seem sport. coming up in the business of day we'll be talking to the head d.h.l. see how the company runs years ago i. join us for that and more in about twenty minutes time.

broadcasting live from the heart of the russian capital you're watching r.t. brazil's presidential election is set for a second round runoff with almost all the votes counted the ruling party candidate and hot favorites. failed to secure the fifty percent needed for outright victory artie's or in this to reports from sao paolo. brazil is one of the only countries who has managed its way out of the financial crisis and to a growing a quick clip that other countries would envy they're expected to grow seven point five percent this year it's the largest economy in south america the largest a second largest economy in the western hemisphere and part of the bric bloc of brazil russia india and china that are seen to symbolize the shift in global economic power from the g seven developed nations to the developing world of which

all of them are newly advanced economies that are seen as holding great potential so certainly everyone is looking to this election to see what direction the leader will take the economy people will have to wait and see because it will go to a run on he run on the dilma rousseff who was expected to carry out lula da silva his policies she is his anointed successor she was expected to win and i did not happen she did not lock down the votes so she'll go to a runoff with jose serra the opposition candidate and they have really different attitudes towards both the economy and foreign policy so what will happen on october thirty first in that runoff will make a difference if you talk to people in the political world who deal in diplomacy or trade or the economy they say before lula brazil had a self confidence probe problem and he was really the first leader who stepped up to the international plate and said we are a player and we are going to matter and really held court diplomatically and broker trade ties but if you talk to people at home and hear what brazilians what average brazilians would say his crowning achievement is is helping to narrow the vast gap

between the rich and poor in this country and to get a better sense of that and what they were hoping for and vilma his hope to be successor we've been out here in brazil reporting and there's a look at what's going on. on the streets of brazil after eight years of this like a miracle because he's. spread pretty close to the people people lined up to decide the next chapter of their cow i hope that the female candidate a woman to make history in my country. that is summed up the loudest voice on the streets and in the polls ahead of the elections for a new head of state while many credit the outgoing one lula da silva was starting a silent revolution for the poor. head of election day it was heard loud and clear they believe his hand-picked successor is the one to continue fighting for and here she is doing the rousseff lulu's choice for president

a little known bureaucrat his chief of staff who rose up to against the dictatorship when she was young. she promises to lead the country down the same road as her mentor. what's changed in these last years is in the poor neighborhoods for the lower class because the other governments just pretended to help its lula brazil's president that brings all of these people into the street in his name they're screaming but as to whether jill but his successor would be able to continue what he started in this country when you talk to people they believe one hundred percent that she is the one what they want with brazil is going to continue to rise though his confidence has helped popularity some activists familiar with lula's politics past and present aren't convinced record for i think she's going to have some difficulties because dilma doesn't have the same history lula has and in a country that was long a colony and where the years until lead the rich and elite still held the power for some in that world

a dilma presidency would be. terrible for me terrible without horizons very sad and black horizons you have to have people with academic culture and not popular culture in upscale neighborhoods is the leading opposition candidate who most closely fits that description and appears favored at those polls jose serra is a more conservative choice. so i use a little government has been constantly role he's aligned himself with people who are democratic. hugo chavez. but in the. brazil what you don't see or hear. is the brazil that is in power you see now and the fellows this mom's were looking from and it's important for you to be able to choose the future of your country once invisible to the world now one thing we can do my best. people who before had no voice may

now continue writing their own song. lauren mr r.t. paulo brazil this is. here with r.t. still to come this hour the legacy of k.g.b. training. remember that russian special forces use involves gone bad for stuff like that but in this sport it's just hands and feet explore why fighting is not just fascinating for spectators but it was a great something different. also from the gate on the ideas have been submitted contest on the moscow sochi two thousand and fourteen olympics in a few minutes. the better russian president's recent russian rhetoric not affect relations between the peoples of the two countries that's one of the messages in the russian president's video blog medvedev also stressed that after almost twenty years of close partnership recent actions from

shows ingratitude. and i was extremely surprised to see the belorussian of florida's have lately taken up and he russian rhetoric with some election campaigns in belarus are essentially based on anti russian stories we see hysterical accusations aimed at russia of not supporting bella roots or its economy we hear curses aimed at the russian authorities it's hard not to see that the desire to sow dissent between our two peoples is the reason for these campaigns president lukashenko is uttering is not only go beyond all diplomatic sense they're downright indecent he is obviously concerned about a lot of things that bringing order to our economy russian journalists talking to belorussian opposition even what happens to some of our retired sac hire officials the president of the routes it seems should be looking into the interior affairs of his own country such as for instance the multiple disappearances of bell russian citizens in russia like other countries is concerned over these people's fates but

of course these things should not define relations between nations or indeed individual people i'm confident of that but he was the president of the russian federation i'll put it plainly russia is ready to continue building an alliance with bella ruse let me add that our nations will always see each other as brothers no matter who is in office. and watched me here where there's a video blog in full on our website r.t. dot com or on our you tube channel. news today. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to rule the day.

through. these are the tough questions being raised at the freedom. place the conservative party conference this week their first since forming a coalition government in may top of the agenda will be budget cuts and how they're going to explain them to a population already plagued by unemployment and struggling public services fringe meetings. and events which. civil liberties and freedom of expression in the u.k. one of those threats is what's perceived by speaker to be the overall crissy of the european union and it's hard to imagine a better time for skeptics to meet. a relative quiet last week saw a europe wide day of action with one hundred thousand people reportedly gathered in

brussels to protest measures as a response to the european debt crisis. has edged significantly closer to default as the government's announced the cost of rescuing banks with almost fifty billion euros that means the budget deficit will amount to. ten times the life and the highest among the world's developed economies it's crunch time for ireland either than. well they'll have to go cap in hand to the i.m.f. and the e.u. just as greece but it's not just the euro that will be under discussion here members will also be agitating against what they feel is the bearing nature of the e.u.'s relationship with the u.k. and how it will develop under the coalition government there's a worry in the you're a skeptic factions of the government the home secretary william hague is continuing along the path of the previous government. initiatives like the european investigation which promises to limit the power of judiciary to protect citizens

against. big brother britain will be high on the agenda with issues like c.c.t.v. surveillance on the table britons of the most watched people in the world there are more c.c.t.v. cameras here per capita than any other country some of those people in the single talk about the steady erosion of civil liberties which in extreme cases includes microchips in rubbish bins and surveillance of families to check they have a right to a place at their local school. reporting. in the international arena to hold on without outside help so says french a story. that's coming your way. there's a pretty. face. to the entire history of international relations is moving away from during its played out in asia even the u.s.

embassy country is refocusing its four employees to an asia now what's the current state of european asian relations throughout europe was of no interest to asia but if we view europe as a landmass that reaches the pacific ocean russia and europe are not a whole but if you picture them as an alliance then we can say europe reaches the pacific level but usually. a sports conceived in the soviet union has finally gone international with the hunter hand fighting finals being held in the u.s. for the first time it may be challenging but it's also highly effective so much so even russian special forces are trained in it are always up for a challenge he's going to prepare for battle. for comedian elo louis his sham hand to hand fighting is still mute. he mostly does judo and teaches thai

boxing but this russian born sport takes the best elements of many fighting techniques. but when you think about it it's more real than anything else plus an artistic aspect to it which is you don't get to spend a lot of times on the floor which is boring. and real it is the k.g.b. use this method of fighting it's now tossed to russian special forces and it's a growing sport and with this going international. program developed by the k.g.b. to this one another try to think. i mean that's a real game unlike in mixed martial arts russian hand to hand fighting has rules and limitations which newcomers are still getting used to he shot and lost the fight against an american can patter. more than enough to when i came back from you know i was down in points. but it's not so bad as long as the

girls are happy the boys we like the boys and definitely when they get old. and the shirts start coming a little bit come in our six packs i was always curious what's on the mind of the hot and sweaty guy when his on the mant maybe girlz meet one of today's winners russian you go out or. you don't think about anything but your next move once you get distracted on your except to fight you are down your mind has to be clear emotions. an idea which could be applied to any situation in life the president of the hand to hand fighting federation says it's not the kind of sport that's only for the sake of sport. this sport teaches how to fight right unlike mixed martial arts we just get out there and punch the other guy as hard as you can it's more about technique it may help you stand up for yourself and your loved ones

if needed. did i mention he is also a lawyer in the making is just one day he decided he was going to stand up for himself that russian special forces move involves gone bad for stuff like that but in this sport it's just hands and feet and it's not just fun to watch actually a lot of the moves are pretty useful for itself the fans for a girl like me and is going to teach me something something really simple. hands on you ok so you need to push from one elbow. and you come with your right you see. so i use my left which is my week i hit and i come back. ok other than. fighting for our team in the state of pennsylvania. now some international news now

a court in thailand is to whether to go ahead of the extradition of the alleged russian arms dealer victor boot to united states bhutto has been in the bangkok jail since march two thousand and eight u.s. accuses him of smuggling weapons to terrorist groups lumpia. court ordered his extradition request a new set of charges just before that the u.s. the latest. today's hearing will determine if those charges have to be dealt with. faces life in prison if convicted on terror data charges in the u.s. . profits of opium produces enough gonna start to have soared by over thirty percent this year that's according to the latest u.n. report which says prices skyrocketed after a plant infection devastated the crop all t.'s military contributor believes it proves that the u.s. tax policy in afghanistan is wrong and the drastic changes needed. the latest u.n.

report regarding the op him poppy survey in afghanistan is a unique document because it provides an actionable intelligence for the u.s. law enforcement and special forces on the ground in southern afghanistan especially in kandahar and helmand province because despite the drop in the often poppy yield the financial returns and profits for the criminals and insurgents has increased dramatically the only way to break this vicious circle these two admit that first and foremost the u.s. special envoy to afghanistan and pakistan falsely claimed that you cannot touch afghan poppy farmers because you would drive them into the hands of the taliban and they are allegedly the poorest farmers all are crose the contrary this is documented in equivocal it states that he is totally wrong and

infect the research undeniable axis of evil between the insurgents criminals and off him poppy farmers and the op him poppy farmers themselves are the wealthiest among all the farmers in the country so the only way to tackle this challenge that undermines the stability and security in afghanistan and beyond is to jumpstart the robust counter-narcotics policy we have the main focus on aerial eradication off off him poppy fields in southern afghanistan. let's look now at some other stories making headlines around the world this hour militants have set fire to twenty seven nato oil tankers a move in pakistan killing six people in the process authorities say about a dozen attackers stormed the trucks were preparing for the project is the second

is convinced it won't mean the end of the traditional post i know that's right business r.t. has been speaking to the head of georgia post d.h.l. a firm which is reaping the benefits of the online world we'll have the details later in the program but first is according to reports russia's the world's biggest diamond producer may hold an i.p.o. was early is next year to make this possible the government of the region is to remove restrictions preventing the diamond monopoly becoming public the company plans to sell twenty to twenty five percent of its shares one point five to two point three billion dollars in spending money developing underground diamond extraction j.p. morgan is valued the company has up to nine billion dollars has been discussing its possible i.p.o. for two years when the company's management plan to list shares in london hong kong taking. some see how the markets are performing now and he shares a following after gazing take care of just the nikkei just in the red this hour

among the bigger game is our shares of pretty heavy and industries that really feel that in the last gaining three percent from kong shares are also rising investors snapped up results sector stocks and high commodity prices. and here in the r.t.s. is opened to trade and it's climbing so far today that probably is a good end to last week where the markets were supported by strong micro economic data and rising for prices almost all the free chips were abstract and controlled the game three point five percent. now labor day to a news from the european development sector are likely to move global markets this week while russia is waiting for a new moscow mare to be named and what this will mean for the capital's real estate peter weston chief economist at own capital group gave his forecast for the week. the u.s. the european data will be crucial so people will be looking at the housing data and the employment data out of us in particularly in russia what they will look at is

going to be news on the sort of successor of. of i don't think we should expect a final answer this week but we should see something coming out we probably have a good start of this week given that we had strong manufacturing data out of china september was a very strong month we were up eight percent in russia and i think that in us this was a stronger september in ninety thirty nine so always on the back of a strong month the saw is a risk of investors taking profits and finally one of europe's oldest businesses is enjoying a fertile period ga pos d.h.l. is growing all over the world benefiting from online shopping the head of the firm frank appelle spoke to business r.t. about how such traditional business can prosper and indeed show age. we think there is a future for the classico mad business you know it's declining by volume but it's in a very important infrastructure for for and for the german country and i have no

doubt that it will be successful but what we're doing this we're at a new services in two ways one is the possibility due to the mail order boom we have from the western world which is starting now taking place as well in russia but people are wanting in from a distance goods because they can't get access to that and that's an interesting development possibility and russia and the second is that we transfer the quality of our product in the real world which is a confidential security letter into the internet world you know at the moment you can call me kate confidentially we have a party because you know in the whole internet world and everybody can catch hero email and read it and we will provide a service but nobody can catch the e-mail and it's just a provider you know just a sender and disappear and you can read the e-mail of the whole way it's encrypt how do you see the post operating in say twenty fifty is definitely the post will be different but the fundamental will still remain you know all a product

a letter has survived five hundred years i have no doubt that it will survive at least the next hundred years or maybe two hundred years because there will always be in need for paper communication even in the future you know i can't imagine any situation that everything will be virtual you know vestal you know there will be still paper on the wall to a sizable scale so therefore there will be still the the old classical part of physical mail delivery but it will be added by a lot more volume and posawatz and i can imagine that good skin beans you're logged in the you know you know enterprise order of call that you know resp a central prize or spaceship enterprise you know that will not happen. in at least in our in our lifetime that people are able to send goods food be internet service for there will be huge increase in volumes in that dimension. you can always find more stories on our website on business.
