the presidential election goes to one of the world's fastest growing emerging countries the latest from brazil. president because interest not only go beyond diplomatic sent downright indecent president medvedev goes on line to condemn recent anti russian rhetoric from pena reuss and stresses it must not affect relations between the two neighbors. and britain is becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the overbearing influence that's according to the freedom and artistic mental range of the conservative party conference. plus a russian athlete and world cup finals in the us and if he wants his conceits or world wide smash.

on a and online you're watching r t welcome to the program brazil's presidential election is set for a second round runoff with almost all the votes counted the ruling party candidates and favorites. failed to secure the fifty percent needed for outright victory parties for us 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 their expected to grow seven point five per cent 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 there seem 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 off to 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 run off 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 program 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 here 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 dilma and 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 cows 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. was starting a silent revolution for the poor. ahead of election day 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 this 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 and industry in his name there 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 do you want with brazil is going to continue to rise though his competence has helped popularity some activists familiar with lula's politics past and present are convinced. i think she's going to have some difficulties because dilma doesn't have the same history little 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. you know so i use a little government has been constantly role is 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 able to read more do more with. people who before had no voice may now continue writing their own songs. lauren lyster r.t. paulo brazil. you know with r.t.

see the belorussian of florida's have lately taken up and he russian rhetoric some election campaigns in belarus are essentially based on anti russian stories we see hysterical accusations aimed at russia of not supporting bella reuss 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 bringing order to our economy russian journalists talking to belorussian opposition even what happens to some of our retired satire officials the president of the roots it seems should be looking into the interior affairs of his own country such as for instance the multiple disappearances of bell russian citizens 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 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. you can watch me to read get as video blogging for our website r.t. dot com as well as on our youtube channel. more news today violence. in these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations rule the day. britain continue its relations with. threats in the u.k. these are the tough questions being raised the freedom to go through on the sidelines the conservative party conference. and it has more from birmingham.

bombing in place to the conservative party conference this week beth 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 abound and where at the freedoms day an event which focuses on fighting the ration of civil liberties and freedom of expression in the u.k. one of those threats to liberty is what's perceived by speakers here to be the overall bureaucracy of the european union and it's hard to imagine a better time for a group of you or a skeptics to meet after a summer of relative quiet last week saw a europe wide day of action with one hundred thousand people reportedly gathered in brussels alone to protest the measures as a response to the european debt crisis on island has edged significantly closer to

default as the government announced the cost of rescuing banks was almost fifty billion euros that means the budget deficit will amount to thirty two percent of islands national income they see a ten times the e.u.'s guideline and the highest amongst the world's developed economies it's crunch time for ireland either. the next round of austerity cuts works or 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 overbearing 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 year a skeptic factions of the government the home secretary william hague is continuing along the path of the previous government signing up to e.u. initiatives like the european investigation order which promises to further limits the power of judiciary to protect citizens against time in foreign prisons big

europe as a landmass that reaches the pacific ocean russia and europe are not a whole but if we 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 hand to 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 at it but always up for a challenge he's got a chicken prepared for battle. for comedian elo louis his sham hand to hand fighting is still new. he mostly does judo and teaches thai boxing but this russian born sport takes the best elements of many fighting techniques. 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 taught 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 of the k.g.b. guys i mean that's a real game unlike in mixed martial arts russian hand clan fighting has rules and limitations which newcomers are still getting used to the xan lost the fight against an american competitor. more than enough to win 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 all sweaty and the shirts

a lawyer in the making it's just one day he decided he was going to stand up for himself that that russian special forces knew 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 self-defense for a girl like me and the question is going to teach me something something really simple i'm going to lay hands on you ok so you can to push from my elbow. and you come with your right you see ok there's only so i can show you i use my left which is my weak my head and i come back. ok other than. fighting for our team in the state of pennsylvania. she loves it and always discover more stories on our website as a pic of what's on the line find out how of bakery in the law school region that

a unique document because it provides 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 open poppy fields their financial returns and profits for the criminals and insurgents increased dramatically the only way to break this vicious circle to me to the 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 they are allegedly the poorest farmers all are close to the contrary this document in equivocal it states that he is totally wrong 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 jump start the robust counter products policy with the main focus on aerial eradication off of him poppy fields in southern afghanistan. well let's look now at some other stories making headlines around the world militants have set fire to twenty seven nato oil tankers involved in pakistan killing at least three people in the process authorities say about a dozen attackers stormed out of trucks with apparent. is the second such attack in the past few days comes amid strained relations between nato and pakistan stemming from across the border raid that left three stony soldiers dead. and the u.n. conference on climate change has opened in northern china delegates hope to bridge differences ahead of the annual summit to mexico later this year they shooters are trying to avoid the failure of copenhagen in two thousand and nine when no consensus could be reached on a legally binding agreement ultimately the talks aimed to curb greenhouse gas
