presidential election in one of the world's fastest emerging powers heads for a second round report on the latest from brazil. president because i'm sure it's not only go beyond fiction to downright indecent. president medvedev goes online to condemn recent anti bush and rhetoric from better routes and stresses it must not affect relations between the two neighbors. and britain is becoming increasingly dissatisfied emus overbearing influence that's according to the

freedoms that is just a vent on the fringe of the conservative party conference. russian after eight wins that run to hand pointing world cup finals in the us media content want has made the save you can see sport well wide smash. you're watching r t international news twenty four hours a day live from moscow welcome to the program the top story now brazil's presidential election is set for a second round runoff the ruling party candidate turned favorite. failed to secure the fifty percent needed for outright victory. in this to reports from south. 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 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 block 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 is 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 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 here's a look at what's going on. on the streets of brazil after eight years of this work 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 mayor candidate a woman who makes 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. with starting

a silent revolution for the poor. head 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 into the street 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 confidence 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. so i use the 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

isn't how well you see now in the favelas this moms 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 can try to do more with. people who before you love had no voice may now continue writing their own songs. lauren mr r.t. paulo brazil. is. here with still to come this hour the legacy of k.g.b. training. russian special forces involved gone bad stuff like that but in this sport it's just hands and feet to explore why hunt down fighting is not just fascinating for spectators but also great for self-defense. the 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. we're joined by faulty sarah sarah just what is the rhetoric that's made the russian president so annoyed. well in his cloak we can hear president. making specific reference to the election campaign. saying that it's based almost entirely on entourage and slogans on accusations of russia's unwillingness provide support to the batteries in people the economy and also direct criticisms to the russian leadership so now a person motivated his used his video a bloke in the past often to deal with the topics such as this and this time we've heard him using it as a response to the batteries in leadership such as ations and actions recently has been point being that really rather than making an anime. a russia at a much better place if they think on their own hurdle if. you look at front of the

week with president lukashenko is outer rings not only go beyond all diplomatic scent they're downright indecent he is obviously concerned about a lot of things for training order to our economy and the russian journalists talking to belorussian opposition will even what happens to some of our retired and satire officials and the president of the roots it seems these people should be looking into the interior affairs of his own country such as for instance the multiple disappearances have been russian citizens but it's russia like other countries is concerned over these people as things with them. the president is considered a controversial leader and this right in russia retired recently so it seems like having a clear creating tensions and actually this is being described as a feature of the reason leadership at this creation of an external enemy in the public consciousness that the worse in the past this is usually directed at the u.s. and the west in general at this time it seems as russia has become the main target

that the server elations between the two had been bright until fairly recently how did it all begin to go sour. this is another thing the president medvedev addresses in his blog he talks about the fact that the better reason people are still considered russia's closest neighbors now that he they've got a shared history said culture and he also makes it very clear that despite the tensions the captain recently with things such as augustus meets with his son the other version has provided support developing both in the past and we. i'm deeply convinced that russia always has and will consider to be the closest of its neighbors we are united by knowing the shared history culture common joys and greece good neighborhood has been the reason we've been helping ever since the fall of the soviet union twenty years ago the scope of our aid effort no matter what people might say has been huge this year alone we've made discounts on all shipments to build

a roost worth approximately two billion dollars in total shipments to baton rouge have been subject to committal concessions the reason we did this was because we sincerely believe that our nations were inseparable this is why i was extremely surprised to see that. taken up until russian rhetoric. does he have the gas in the summer to be one of the main problems that have caused the sudden sudden souring over relations between the other east and russia and we know that what happened there was better be stressing to cut off transit routes for the supply of oil and gas and eventually that she was resolved but it's certainly one of the things that seem to have given rise to the sudden increase in this russian we tore it up of the overall point the president making this book as he was saying. there were many issues that batteries have to do with itself internally issues such as freedom of speech and these are things that the

opposition have often tried to address and in this election campaign we see now the sense of us from a toy really becoming the main focus of this election campaign the president did make it very clear much better rather than making an enemy of russia to be focusing on the problems internally. there sarah thanks for that reporting. and the fact you can watch to me try to get a video of broken fool on our web sites hottie dot com as well as you know you tube channel. more news today. these are the images the world. canada. trying to rule the day.

should britain continue its relations with the. civil liberties threat in the u.k. well these are the tough questions being raised at the freedom. on the sidelines of the conservative party conference where more than. speculation of late teetering on the brink of collapse so you would imagine the hardline euro skeptic conservatives. say they are in the main event. since coming to power. in may and. budget cuts which are being implemented throughout europe is the response of the european debt crisis and they're talking about how to explain them to a population which is really already. high unemployment struggling public services here at the present day we are talking about rationing. and one of those threats to

civil liberties perceived to be here is the bureaucracy of the european union and it's hard to really to imagine a better time for a brief if you're a skeptic to me we had a summer of relative quiet in europe but just in the last week we still rise in demonstrations again all over europe a hundred thousand people reportedly gathered in brussels. was being implemented as a response to the. to divulge the end of last week it was announced that the cost of rescuing island banks had risen to fifty eight billion euros that means that it now has a budget deficit of ten times the e.u. and the highest amongst developed economies is really crunch time for this next round of austerity measures. or they have to get cap in hand to the e.u.

and the i.m.f. much as greece terry humiliatingly had to do now all these things are of course a threat to the and they're a threat to the union as an economic union as the home really and some freedoms and think that that is in fact a good thing that the e.u. too involved in individual countries and really has to be tended to something slightly different more about that i'm joined by harry cole also known as tory fact he's become one of the u.k.'s most influential political. i don't know what do you think about the u.k.'s relationship with the. degree lot of what you're saying. i mean just a simple simple with. some the brushes minds on the right. you know the. very passionate about this and it's really important to have this because

. everything is exactly the leadership and the last thing they want. it's always going to bring out very clear divide. and in the conference and they want to be. able to have these discussions about some of the best experts you've got people who are very passionate about the people who have devoted their lives fighting the. influence. they know the leadership is going to this conversation thousands of delegates. hopefully. cameron was a euro skeptic. i think. i think. but obviously the last thing he can be seen to do. would jump so you know he's not talking about his agenda but i think i think you know. i think

we'll start to see hopefully after a couple of years in government relationship. and very briefly what you think the biggest threat. in the u.k. today probably the reactions. after this country i mean you can't drive down the street without being various c.c.t.v. cameras without. without it being read i think. it. has to be the top of the top of the. coalition government came together because both. thank you very much now we can be here all day today interviewing various influential euro skeptics and civil liberties campaign is bringing you more throughout the day. more of that later thank you very much. reporting from that.

we're witnessing the political fall of europe and the continent won't be able to stay in the international arena outside help so says french historian and. gave an interview to r.t. that's coming your way next. safe storage. for the entire history of international relations is moving away from europe it's played out in asia even the us at pacific countries are focusing its foreign policy on asia where the huge countries that will play the big roles located in asia now what's the current state of european asian relations europe is of no interest to asia and if we view europe as a latin reaches the pacific ocean russia and europe are not at home but if we picture them as an alliance then we can say europe reaches the pacific. but you are . now

a sports conceived in the soviet union has finally gone international with the hunter hand fighting finals being held in the us for the first time you 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 artie'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 tossed to russian special forces and it's a growing sport and with this going international. a program developed by the

k.g.b. to this one another try to think the k.g.b. guys 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 the xan lost the fight against an american compadre are. 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 become an expert. i was always curious what's on the mind of the hot and sweaty guy when he's on the man maybe girlz meet one of today's winners russian you go out or. if you don't think about anything but your next move once you get

distracted in anything except the fights you're down your mind has to be clear with emotions also distract one more thing you should never allow the thought that you're losing if you have the slightest guarantee that you will lose 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 but. 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 sean is also a lawyer in the making is just one day he decided he was going to stand up for himself remember 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 to fans who are

a fragile girl like me and christian is going to teach me something something really simple i'm going to put my hands on you ok so you can to push for my elbow. and you come with your right you see on this i can show you how i use my left which is my weak my head and i come back. ok other than. fighting for our tea in the state of pennsylvania. great stuff that's that now at some other stories making headlines around the world this hour. militants have set fire to twenty seven nato oil tankers of northern pakistan killing at least three people in the process you say about a dozen attackers stormed the other trucks were preparing for. is the second such attack in the past few days comes a bit strained relations between nato and pakistan starting from across the border raid that left three pakistani soldiers dead. but un conference on climate change

that people are wanting and from a distance the goods because we 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 communicate confidentially we have a party because you know in the whole internet world and everybody can 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 simply 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 the 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 a need for paper communication even in the future you know i can't imagine any

situation that everything will be virtual you know that still you know there will be still paper on the world a sizable scale so therefore there will be still the old classical part of physical mail delivery but it will be added by a lot more volume and possibles and i can imagine that good skin be beans your log in the you know you know enterprise order and call that you know be space enterprise always face of enterprise you know that will not happen. in at least in our in our lifetime that people are able to send goods from b. internet so therefore there would be a huge increase in volumes in that dimension. the measure of day for this hour you can always find most stories on our website l.t. dot com slash business.
